Chapter 375 - 353: Forbidden Area of God and Mystery

Chapter 375: Chapter 353: Forbidden Area of God and Mystery

Counting all the days he spent within and outside the forbidden area since his arrival in the lower realm, it was no more than three or four months. However, his overall experience was utterly different from the cautious days he passed in the upper realm.

Whether it was his cultivation or his demeanor, everything was entirely different.

Now that he was eighteen years old, he was in the prime of his youth. His vibrant vitality was like a sharp and unsheathed sword, and his domineering aura was perceptible at a glance.

In simpler terms, having spent a while amongst the weaklings, he was feeling a bit inflated.

Still, it was within normal limits.

After taking a quick look at the people below, Wang Zijia plainly spoke, "Do you all understand the causes and dangers of what’s happening today?"

Despite his low voice, it reverberated throughout the square.

"We have clearly understood the pros and cons, Immortal Venerate!" said the monks uniformly.

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "In that case, I won’t waste any more words. I hope you each give it your all. Otherwise, if the Mysterious Domain expands, the Qinglian World will face a real risk of destruction!"

Even though they had received prior notice from the Holy Land, the words coming from an Immortal Venerate sent chills down their spines.

Some monks who had just entered the realm of Sacrificial Wine even seemed a bit flustered.

Wang Zijia, as he said, did not talk further. He crumpled a page with one hand, and thousands of elixirs fell down.

Seeing the elixir in front of them, everyone looked confused.

"I’ve developed this pill specifically for this Mysterious Domain to prevent any of you from unknowingly being transformed into a statue," said Wang Zijia, dispelling their confusion after the distribution of the elixir.

Some below hesitated, some kept it away, and some consumed it right away.

Despite his esteemed reputation, varying attitudes were inevitable in the Cultivation World.

Observing this scene, Wang Zijia didn’t force anyone to consume the elixir. He simply said, "To have or not have is your choice. But don’t blame our Demon Suppression Sect for sending you all on a suicide mission if you’re affected later. It won’t bother me!"

His casual attitude, indifference, and air of unconcern left the crowd below slightly taken aback.

Most chose to consume the pill, a small portion waited, some were unsure, and a few wanted to investigate what kind of Immortal Pill could stop the Curse of the Divine Mystery Forbidden Land.

······

Feeling the completion of many Demon Seedings, Wang Zijia seemed slightly dazed momentarily.

In the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge, thousands of human skin paper avatars he had made over the past month using his blood started finding their targets and moving towards their corresponding Sea of Knowledge.

Each paper figure had a specific person in charge, responsible for exchanging the curse.

Since Wang Zijia didn’t consume much energy to make these as they were merely formed from a bit of his blood, they were weak. In the outside world, their combined strength could at most match a few ordinary people.

A monk could easily kill a group with one breath.

However, in the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge, their effects were equivalent to that of a Balanced Scale. They were effectively an extension of the Balanced Scales power.

Feeling each paper figure settling into their places, Wang Zijia couldn’t help but smile.

The refining of the Third Weight and the purpose of the human skin paper avatars were worth all the torment Wang Zijia had previously endured!

With them, Wang Zijia had the qualifications to establish a top-tier faction. Even the rumored Heavenly Court God-sealing List was probably nothing more!

Seeing the fifty or sixty paper figures still left in the Chaotic Sea of ​​Knowledge, made on a one-to-one basis as per the invitation list, Wang Zijia could tell at a glance who hadn’t consumed the elixir.

However, he ignored this and directly left the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

Back in the real world, Wang Zijia seemed slightly dazed once again before saying, "Now that you have decided, everyone follow me. Let’s go and explore the Divine Mystery Forbidden Land!"

Having said this, Wang Zijia took a step forward into the air from Ling Yanlan’s back, walking towards the outskirts of the city.

Mo Yunzi and the three deputy head teachers closely followed behind. Ling Yanlan also transformed into a small fire sparrow and accompanied them.

From behind in the Paper Palace, thousands of Demon Suppression disciples flew out, all cultivating Sacrificial Wine. However, at least half of them had had breakthrough realizations under the Spiritual Energy Tide months ago.

The people standing in the square below also took flight towards the outskirts of the city.

For a moment, thousands of Escape Lights took flight, appearing as if a host of immortals were ascending to the heavens.

Just outside the city, in the outskirts, everyone could see sparse statues.

The chilling part was that most of these statues looked lifelike, dressed in ordinary clothes. There were merchants, peasant women, and it was clear that they had been transformed recently.

In the middle of these ordinary statues, occasionally one could see a two or three-meter-high Clay Embryo statue standing, like a king amongst the statues.

Obviously, these were the ones who had escaped from the Divine Mystery Forbidden Land.

Compared with the lifelike statues of real people, these Clay Embryo statues looked fake, yet they strangely sent chills down everyone’s spines.

Hovering in the air, Wang Zijia’s eyes glowed with a special kind of influence. Under his Third-grade pupil surgery, he saw a different view.

Inside the life-like statues, he saw countless dull Remnant Souls, continuously worshipping the Clay Embryo statues.

As they worshipped, gray vapor rose from their heads, converging towards the Clay Embryo statues.

As they paid homage, the lifelike statues increasingly resembled stone effigies, while the mud sculpture divine fetuses exuded a peculiar sense of enjoyment.

Looking up, at the end of the sky, countless faintly visible gray threads could be seen converging from all directions across the continent, seemingly drawn by some strange force, penetrating into the true Mysterious Domain ahead.

If he guessed correctly, these threads should represent the incense faith.

As for why he could see them now, it could be due to the third-grade pupil surgery, or the effects of the incomplete Imperial Sealing Talisman Summons, or even the unexpected visit to the Chaotic Light Sphere Space, or perhaps all of these factors combined.

"Smash them!"

Wang Zijia only flew a short distance before he halted and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Demon Suppression Sect all took action and with flickers of spiritual light, they launched their attacks on the various statues below.

The big shots of the other sects lingered for an instant before starting to take action in a disorganized manner.

"Boom Boom!"

As the spiritual light rained down, over ten thousand priests instantly cleared this suburb. After all, the statues below were not densely packed since they were discovered early.

Once the lifelike statues were broken, only a pile of yellow earth was left in their place.

The mud sculpture divine fetuses that had been hit did not escape the same fate.

However, in Wang Zijia’s eyes, he clearly saw a very bizarre aura bursting forth from the shattered mud sculpture divine fetuses. Depending on the extent of the attack, they selectively targeted the crowd that had attacked them.

Wang Zijia also smashed a statue. A very strange breath, corrosive like the Evil Seed pollution yet eerier, rushed into his body.

Or one could say that it was a variant of the Evil Seed Pollution.

Third Weight: Divine Mystery Pollution

Status: Being polluted

Value: 23

Description: A special product derived from the Evil Spirit Mysterious Domain, it can unknowingly transform people into statues, their bodies perishing while their Dao remains, lit by incense day and night until all is exhausted.

Wang Zijia looked at this weight, which was exchanged by the paper figures in his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge. He noticed that it was the same with the other disciples and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of the disciples nearby also found that smashing the statues could slightly increase their cultivation, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Some of them, unclear about the reason, started discussing it out loud in confusion.

"The elixir that I created does more than just prevent one from becoming a statue!"

Wang Zijia simply said so, causing many to be taken in surprise. Immediately after, the monks from each sect who had previously been procrastinating, had a strong glow ignite in their eyes.

Without Wang Zijia’s order, they all went their separate ways to look for and smash the mud sculpture divine fetuses while following Wang Zijia’s trajectory.

So it was that over ten thousand priests, like locusts passing through, smashed from the outskirts of the city all the way to the entrance of the Forbidden Area of God and Mystery.

A wall blocked the group’s path.

The wall, over ten meters high, had a blue-tile-like rainproof structure on top, resembling the walls of a Taoist temple in a southern water town.

It would have been even better if it wasn’t over ten meters tall and stretching indefinitely on both sides.

A huge, dilapidated main gate appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The main gate had disappeared, leaving only the battered frame behind. Through the gate, one could see that it was a huge Taoist temple inside.

As they approached the wall, it became increasingly difficult to fly. From time to time, people landed on the ground.

Wang Zijia floated to the gate before he had to touch down as well.

Flight was completely impossible in the Forbidden Area of God and Mystery as it was the fundamental law of this Mysterious Domain!

The three vice-head teachers, Mo Yunzi, Ling Yanlan, and others who Wang Zijia had brought along, also landed at the gate one after another.

Wang Zijia looked up at the gate, lifted his foot, and stepped in.

Seeing this, the crowd behind him followed suit and filed in one by one.

······

As he passed through the main gate, Wang Zijia felt a not-so-strong wave of space disturbance, and by the time he regained his senses, he had already entered a different world.

This was a vast Taoist temple, extremely large in area. It was probably one of the integral parts of the Qinglian Sword Sect in the past, for example, a temple of the Divine System.

This was a vast sect territory, not a traditional one where occupying half a mountain would be considered grandiose.

Its area, according to rough estimates, was at least twice the size of the current Demon Suppression Sect.

It had hundreds of large and small mountains, on which various Taoist temples were faintly visible. Whether these temples housed any statues was unclear.

Besides the temples, various statues were standing all over the hundreds of mountains.

Similar to the suburbs, the statues were divided into lifelike effigies and bizarre mud sculpture divine figures. Many of the gray, lifelike statues had already cracked.

In Wang Zijia’s vision, he could see countless threads of incense belief converging from the continent above the sky dome, merging into more than sixty strands. These strands then penetrated into some Taoist temples within the mountains.

When strands of smoke, like mist, wafted out of the temples, the incense had already turned into a mysterious aura.
