Another 20,000 years passed.
All these years, because Lin Xuanji had been traveling and telling stories in the Southwest, he attracted three old friends from the Middle Realm – Feng Cantian, Old Man Tie Guan and Chess Immortal Jun Yu.
Old friends reunited and shared interesting stories with one another – it was a joyous occasion.
Lin Xuanji, Feng Cantian, Old Man Tie Guan and Jun Yu had all sought guidance from the mountain elder. All of them benefited and had already entered the Dao Comprehending realm.
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo and Die Yue had stayed in Xuan Mi Mountain for more than 50,000 years.
During this period of time, he seemed to have truly distanced himself from all the chaos and strife, enjoying a rare period of peace ever since he started cultivating.
Occasionally, news would spread from the Southeast – the Chaos Sacred Ground was growing stronger day by day under the leadership of Supreme Being Evergreen and the others.
Under the protection of the Chaos Sacred Ground, the Plant Wood race gradually rose as well, occupying various territories and the factions of the ten thousand races withdrew one after another.
For the past few days, many cultivators had arrived near Xuan Mi Mountain, breaking the long-awaited peace.
These cultivators came from all over the world. Experts of the human race from the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 blessed-lands gathered here one after another in a bustling crowd.
Even Su Zimo and Die Yue who stayed in their rooms every day sensed it.
"What happened? Why are there so many people outside?"
Su Zimo and Die Yue arrived outside and saw Lin Xuanji, Jun Yu and the others walking over – they could not help but ask curiously.
Lin Xuanji chuckled and teased, "The two of you are really something. Sticking to each other all day and never leaving each other's side. You guys don't even care about the flood outside."
Feng Cantian roared in laughter as well. "When are the two of you going to get married? We're still waiting for your wedding banquet!"
Although Su Zimo and Die Yue had long become Dao companions, there was no ceremony for them to get married.
Die Yue was not interested in that.
Su Zimo did not care about such formalities either.
In their hearts, it was enough as long as they could be together forever.
As for the ceremony, it was dispensable.
When he heard Feng Cantian's words, Su Zimo shook his head and chuckled. "Forget about the ceremony. We can find a time to gather these old friends of ours and drink to our heart's content."
Su Zimo looked at Die Yue with a questioning gaze.
"Up to you."
Die Yue smiled.
Then, she seemed to have thought of something and said faintly, "However, you have to prepare a 'thoughtful' gift for me this time."
Su Zimo blushed when he heard that.
He couldn't help but recall the gift he gave Die Yue when he found her in the Grand Desolation Domain …
"Isn't the gift good?"
Su Zimo felt a little guilty and coughed lightly.
"What do you think?"
Die Yue rolled her eyes.
"What did he give you?"
Lin Xuanji's eyes burned with the flames of gossip as he approached and asked with a wretched expression.
"Move aside!"
Su Zimo pushed Lin Xuanji's head away and changed the topic. "What's going on outside?"
"I heard that the Spacetime Sacred Land opened up a forbidden area, allowing the paragons of all races to go there and attempt to break through to the Saint Realm and prove their Dao."
It was the old man with the iron crown who spoke up to help Su Zimo out of this predicament.
The old man with the iron crown said, "After hearing this news, many human experts from the 36 Paradise and 72 Blessed Lands have gathered here, preparing to head to this place."
"A forbidden area of spacetime?"
Su Zimo raised his brows.
Jun Yu said, "It's said that only the experts of the five sacred lands can enter this forbidden area of spacetime to prove their Dao. Now that it's open to the experts of all races, it can be considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Su Zimo frowned and asked, "If it's a forbidden area of the Spacetime Sacred Land, why would they be so kind as to open it to the experts of all races?"
Lin Xuanji said, "I estimate that the five sacred lands have suffered many casualties in the Trayastrimsa Heavens, leaving some Great Dao Saint Seats vacant. They want to gather more Saints as soon as possible and urge the races to conquer the four Daos once more. That's why they're giving the races such a chance.
"As far as I know, after this news was released, the races were shaken. Paragons who have cultivated to the peak of the Dao Control Realm will probably go to the forbidden area of spacetime to try their luck."
Su Zimo asked, "What's so special about this forbidden area of spacetime that the paragons of all races are tempted?"
Lin Xuanji said, "I heard that in this forbidden area of spacetime, even if one fails to break through to the Saint Realm for the first time, they can guarantee that they won't die. Of course, if they continue to break through and still fail, they will still die. "
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's expression changed.
Dao Integration to become a Saint was extremely dangerous.
Since ancient times, there had been countless Supremes who had failed in the process of Dao Unification and died.
There was no turning back after becoming a Saint.
The moment they failed, they would die!
However, according to Lin Xuanji, they would not die even if they failed their first attempt at breaking through to the Saint Realm in this forbidden area of spacetime!
This meant that there were two chances to break through to the Saint Realm in the forbidden area of spacetime!
This temptation was too great for every Supreme-Being expert.
It was no wonder that this news would cause the races to be shaken.
Unfortunately, he had just cultivated to lesser mastery of the Dao Control Realm and did not have the chance to break through to the Saint Realm.
Otherwise, he would want to enter this forbidden area of spacetime to give it a try.
Su Zimo was puzzled and asked, "How can this forbidden area of spacetime have such a heaven-defying effect that it can protect the lives of Paragons who have failed their Dao Integration?"
"I don't know either."
Lin Xuanji shook his head.
Su Zimo looked towards Die Yue instinctively.
Die Yue did not speak during the conversation earlier on.
At this moment, her expression was indifferent and there was even a hint of coldness in the depths of her eyes!
"This forbidden area of spacetime is related to the human race?"
Su Zimo vaguely realized something and asked.
Die Yue nodded. "That forbidden area of spacetime was actually the Life Sacred Land of the past and also the sacred land of the human race. However, more than six billion years ago, the Spacetime Sacred Land sealed it and took it for themselves. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Lin Xuanji came to a realization. "No wonder I couldn't find the Life Sacred Land after so many years of traveling. It was already taken away by the Spacetime Sacred Land!"
Die Yue said, "There is a Life Stone in the Life Sacred Land. If one fails to break through to the Saint Realm for the first time in the sacred land, this Life Stone will release a large amount of vitality to resist the backlash of the Great Dao and protect the cultivator's life."
"Originally, the Life Sacred Land was prepared for the human race. Unfortunately, it has been taken over by the Spacetime Sacred Land for the people of the five sacred lands to cultivate."
Su Zimo was silent.
Under the suppression of the Heavenly Punishment Sacred Land, the human race had no Saints.
In the face of such humiliation, they naturally could not resist.
Jun Yu said, "Since the Spacetime Sacred Land has released the news that this place is open to all races, this naturally includes the human race. Fellow Daoist has already cultivated to the peak of the Dao Manipulation Realm, so you might as well go to the Life Sacred Land and give it a try. "
"Forget it."
Die Yue shook her head. "The Great Dao that I cultivate has already had someone become a Saint. Even if I go to the Life Sacred Land, I won't have a chance to break through to the Saint Realm."
"To me, becoming a Saint or not is no longer important."
After saying this, Die Yue and Su Zimo looked at each other and smiled.
The two of them understood each other's intentions.
In her last life, Die Yue pursued eternal life and an even vaster world.
However, she had died once and been reborn, so her mentality had changed greatly.
Only when she awakened her memories and saw Su Zimo did she understand what was most important.
