Chapter 392: Chapter 365: Unbeatable in One Realm?_2

But what stunned him was that he actually failed.

Just like he was trying to connect to Xiang Feifei’s Sea of Consciousness, there was absolutely no response.

Wang Zijia, refusing to believe he had failed, threw out a chicken and a rabbit, all specially prepared for exploration, and these Demon Seeding creatures had been prepared in advance.

Yet, without exception, as soon as they entered the fog, they all ceased to respond.

After studying for a while, Mo Yunzi and Ling Yanlan watched as Wang Zijia switched between at least a dozen different exploration methods— throwing out puppets, magic tools, and various creatures in turn, all without showing himself.

In Ling Yanlan’s clear bird eyes, there was nothing but bewilderment and confusion.

Mo Yunzi’s eyes were profound as, under Wang Zijia’s verbal teachings, he seemed to comprehend the truth of cultivation.

After a long while, Wang Zijia had almost exhausted all his methods, all without any return. Let alone information, he hadn’t even received a single bit of feedback.

"Is it that mysterious?"

Wang Zijia wordlessly stared at the mist in front of him, carefully reached out a hand, touched a thread of it, and tried to extract a bit for research.

Before Wang Zijia figured out the basic information, there was no way he’d enter.

But as soon as he touched the fog, the Golden Balance in his mind violently vibrated for an instant, a reaction several to tens of times more violent than the only reaction it had in the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain.

This caused Wang Zijia’s consciousness to daze for an instant.

It was as if... as if the Balanced Scale suddenly kicked him in the head in his mind, saying: If you want to go in and die, don’t drag me in too!

After Wang Zijia slightly regained his senses, his face abruptly changed as he looked at the unguarded Forbidden Area of Life in front of him, shock in his eyes.

"Master, what happened?" Mo Yunzi watched Wang Zijia reach out and touch the fog, then suddenly stumble, and nervously asked.

"Nothing!" Wang Zijia turned and said: "Notify everyone that after the Qinglian Continent is reclaimed, a forbidden area will be established within a 100-mile radius of the Forbidden Area of Life. No one irrelevant is allowed inside during normal days."

Having said that, Wang Zijia left without looking back. This damned restricted zone shouldn’t even exist in such a mini-world!

Wang Zijia even suspected that the Qinglian World’s fall into a lower realm was all caused by this damned thing!

As for keeping others from sleeping beside my bed, did I say that?

Why can’t I remember it?

Occasionally sleeping is fine, right? My sincerity, Wang Daozi, is well known to everyone!

"Disciple understands!" Mo Yunzi’s pupils slightly contracted, his pace quickened to catch up with Wang Zijia, as if he was afraid that something would come out and grab him if he left a step too late.

"Master, aren’t we going to explore?" Ling Yanlan hovered in place, looking at Wang Zijia who had busily arrived, hadn’t gone in, and was quickly leaving, and asked in confusion.

"If you want to go in, go by yourself. I’ll go back to the sect to set up arrays for you!" Wang Zijia’s voice came from the sky.

Don’t we usually set up arrays outside?

Mo Yunzi: "······"

"Oh!" Ling Yanlan thus responded and soared into the sky, transforming back into a giant bird and carrying Wang Zijia back home.

The mist of the Forbidden Area of Life flowed, revealing glimpses of buildings within, seemingly waiting for the next visitor.

······

Wang Zijia had come with an exploratory mindset, but returned feeling heavy-hearted.

He initially thought that with his current strength, he could freely run rampant in the Qinglian World, especially since he had easily resolved the issues in the two major forbidden areas.

But this Forbidden Area of Life, it seemed to hold a great terror.

The journey back was very quiet, the atmosphere notably tense.

After a while, the old Taoist Mo Yunzi couldn’t help but ask: "Master, what about the Forbidden Area of Life?"

"I don’t know either." Wang Zijia was silent for a moment before answering: "But anything that can cause me, the master, to feel uneasy in this world, it can’t be as simple as it seems."

"But don’t worry too much, it doesn’t matter how powerful it is, as long as we don’t provoke it. As for what will happen in the future... we’ll talk about it later."

"Disciple understands!" Mo Yunzi murmured.

Even though Wang Zijia seemed to have said nothing, he had expressed his intentions very clearly.

The two fell silent again, even though they hadn’t spoken much on the way there, the journey back felt much more tense.

By the time Wang Zijia and his group returned to their starting point, it was already half a day later.

In these five or six hours, not only had the cultivators’ group cleared a large area for the Big Shot, but with a few disciples who specialized in earth magic aiding them, a rudimentary temporary camp had already been set up.

Seeing Wang Zijia and his two companions return, a breath of relief echoed among the monks.

The exploration spearheaded by a Big Shot was completely different from one without. Especially in the past half a day, everyone clearly realized how severe the demon disaster was on the Qinglian Continent.

Li Lexin and a few others immediately rushed over, asked Mo Yunzi about the exploration situation, and then went back to their tasks with worried expressions.

Meanwhile, Wang Zijia stayed to keep watch and help at any time while attending to his own affairs.

·········

Time went by in a blink, and within a few days, the worry caused by the exploration of the Life Forbidden Area slowly faded away.

All the work for the opening up was conducted in an orderly manner.

"Whoo!"

Suddenly, an alarm sounded all around, startling numerous disciples.

At the campsite, Wang Zijia, who was busy with his own affairs, raised his head with a frown.

Just as he got up and was preparing to go out and check, Li Lexin hurried in.

"What happened?" Wang Zijia looked at Li Lexin and asked.

"Master, several exploration teams have mysteriously disappeared without leaving a trace." Li Lexin quickly reported.

Wang Zijia was taken aback and said, "Which direction?"

"South, Lingyue Mountain Area!" Li Lexin immediately replied.

Wang Zijia quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried the Law of Disaster might be triggered at the Life Forbidden Area, a Law which states that when not paid attention to, everything remains calm, but as soon as attention is paid, disaster strikes.

"Then why the hell does an advanced alarm sound?" Wang Zijia frowned.

"Among those missing are an entire sect, twenty-one Wine Monks, three Wine Monks from the Peak Ceremony, and nearly a hundred child monks. They were all strong and experienced elders from the exploration team." Li Lexin explained with a serious look.

"We don’t even know when they went missing; not a single piece of news managed to make it back to us."

"Did Mo Yunzi and Ling Yanlan go?" Wang Zijia asked.

"Elder Mo Yun went out at noon to provide reinforcements. The Demon Lord departed yesterday to assist. It seems that the sect from Tianxin encountered a powerful Perfected Realm Demon."

Li Lexin quickly replied, "If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have dared to disturb you, Master!"

"Which sect did the missing disciples belong to? Are there any monks among them who had participated in the exploration of the Forbidden Area of God and Mystery last time?" Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia abruptly changed the topic and quickly asked.

"They’re from the Six Royal Gates, there were some. The Head Teacher and a number of elders from their gate, had all participated in the exploration of the Forbidden Area of God and Mystery last time." Li Lexin quickly replied despite not understanding why Wang Zijia brought this up at such a time.

In the midst of their conversation, he took out the information for a few people.

Wang Zijia glanced at it, made a series of quick gestures as if calculating something. However, in his mind, he was contacting his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

Only two breaths later, Wang Zijia regained his composure. The gesture he was making paused.

"Master, do you have any information?" Li Lexin asked cautiously upon seeing this.

"Dead!" Wang Zijia said with a frown, adding: "All dead!"

"How could that be? The strength of the Six Royal Gates has already become a strong force among the various sect alliances. After years of fighting, they were all experienced in actual combat. How could they have disappeared without making a sound?" Li Lexin asked, clearly taken aback.

Wang Zijia furrowed his brows tightly, and didn’t sit back down. Instead, he turned and walked towards the outside, saying:

"Let’s go. Going to their exploration area to see for ourselves should give us answers. A large group of disciples must have left some traces."

······

Wang Zijia took Li Lexin and several exploration disciples and left the temporary camp.

They flew south for more than two quarter hours before reaching the Six Royal Gates’ exploration site: the Lingyue Mountain Area.

This was a hilly wilderness, with countless mountains of various sizes rising and falling amongst the endless jungle.

The originally ubiquitous fierce beasts and demons had already been eradicated by a good portion by the people of the Six Royal Gates.

This resulted in the jungle below appearing somewhat quiet and dark.

Without the need for Wang Zijia’s instructions, the disciples behind him scattered and entered the forest, starting their search for traces.
