The five who survived were filled with despair and confusion. One of them had the weakest willpower and kept repeating that he wouldn't be able to survive. Clearly, his willpower was on the verge of collapse.
"What should we do?" Someone asked. His gaze turned to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was the strongest among them. Moreover, the princess and the Saint both valued him greatly. Naturally, he was the most extraordinary. Before this, when they were facing those slaughtering death gods, someone lured them away. Later on, when they passed through the canyon, they found out that that person was Qin Wentian.
His cultivation level was also the highest among the five.
"Let's continue. What's the use of constantly thinking that we won't be able to survive? If we really feel despair, we can just directly commit suicide. If we still want to live, even if there's only a sliver of hope, we have to continue." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. He himself wasn't confident, but he had no other choice. No one wanted to face such a situation. However, since they had entered the forbidden land, they had to be prepared. They might encounter the threat of death.
Since they had already come to this point, they could only brace themselves and continue forward.
As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian continued forward. The others followed after him. Qin Wentian was right. What's the use of thinking that we won't be able to survive? Are we going to commit suicide here? If we don't want to commit suicide, we can only continue forward.
The person who kept repeating that he wouldn't be able to survive was stunned. He gritted his teeth and followed after Qin Wentian.
Only when they truly entered the forbidden land did they realize how vast it was. The desolate land seemed to have no end. Fortunately, they didn't encounter that kind of despair again.
After walking through one desolate mountain after another, Qin Wentian sensed the flow of energy in the world. He faintly felt that there seemed to be something more here compared to the outside world, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"No, I can't bear it anymore. I have to travel from the sky. I have to keep moving in one direction. I will eventually have a chance to walk out of this mountain range." The person with weaker willpower couldn't bear to walk aimlessly. He asked, "Is there anyone with me?"
The eyes of the others flickered. One of them said, "I'll go with you. Let's hope it works."
The other two looked at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian shook his head and said, "Since it's a forbidden area, how can it be so easy to get out?"
The eyes of the two of them flickered. Even immortal-foundation experts could fly up into the air. Qin Wentian's words made sense. If one could simply fly up into the air and leave this place, this place wouldn't be known as the forbidden ground.
"Let's go." The bodies of the two people who wanted to leave rose into the air and kept moving towards a very high place. Qin Wentian looked up and saw that the bodies of the two people were becoming smaller and smaller. Gradually, they were about to disappear from his sight. Clearly, they had reached a very high place.
Suddenly, a beam of green light appeared in the sky. It was as if a green tentacle had reached out from the clouds and shrouded the two black dots.
"This …" The eyes of Qin Wentian and the others flickered. An extremely terrifying aura permeated the air as an incomparably demonic green light cascaded down, illuminating this entire space. Although it was only for an instant, that beam of light was extremely resplendent.
"They disappeared." One of them mumbled. The two black dots in the air vanished, indicating that the two silhouettes had disappeared.
"Are they dead?" The other person was none other than that old man who had been stuck at the peak of immortal-foundation for many years. He stared at the sky as a fox mourned the death of its own kind.
"How can they not die?" Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice, similarly feeling a sense of sorrow in his heart. He also hoped for a path of survival but in truth, it was extremely difficult to find one. At the very least right now, he couldn't see any signs of survival.
"Let's hope there's a way out." The old man sighed. Other than Qin Wentian, his will was the most resolute. He had been stuck at the immortal-foundation realm for a very long time before he decided to come to the forbidden ground to search for an opportunity. His perception of life and death was much more indifferent compared to others.
The other person was a handsome young man with an extraordinary demeanor. He had an ancient sword strapped to his back and seemed to be a sword cultivator. He was a man of few words and had always been moving silently.
"That's right, who says that there's no light at the end of the tunnel?" Qin Wentian laughed, as though he was consoling himself. As he spoke, he continued speeding forward. After several months, they saw a strange mountain range in front of them. They stared down at the canyon below, only to discover that there was actually an incomparably gigantic palm imprint there.
This palm imprint stretched across the land and there were five incomparably distinct depressions. These were none other than the fingers of the palm imprint.
What was even more terrifying was that this palm imprint actually exuded a faint pressure. Just by standing at the side, one could feel the majestic pressure gushing over, wanting to crush everything.
"Is this forbidden ground really the Mountain of Law?" That old man spoke in a low voice. "Being able to leave behind such a palm imprint, that person should at least have the strength of a peak-stage immortal emperor."
Qin Wentian's expression changed as well. This mountain range had existed for countless years and the history of this palm imprint should be extremely long as well. Even after so many years, the aura emanating from this palm imprint had yet to dissipate. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful the person who created this palm imprint must be.
"I'm only curious now, how vast is this place exactly?" That handsome young man spoke. After they entered the forbidden ground, they have been moving forward for over a year but they still couldn't see the end. They had no idea where they were now. Hence, he wanted to ask, how deep was the forbidden ground exactly? And where would it lead to?
"Let's go." Qin Wentian also sighed in his heart. But he only spoke two words before he continued forward, passing by the five-fingered mountain. Below, the pressure from the palm imprint permeated the air.
This five-fingered mountain was extremely vast, they had to walk for quite some time before they passed it. After that, they arrived at another mountain range.
"There's someone there." At this moment, they saw a black-cloaked figure quietly standing there. The three of them halted their steps, not daring to move an inch.
At this moment, that figure slowly turned around. Qin Wentian and the two others saw a face exuding a heroic aura. That pair of eyes were dark and deep, filled with vigor, as though wanting to see through the three of them.
"It's a living human, it's Wu Xiu." The old man exclaimed in shock. This was the first living human they saw in the forbidden ground, Wu Xiu.
Li Yufeng told Qin Wentian that the Darknorth Immortal Mountain didn't have a single entrance. For some powerful characters, they would enter the depths of the mountain from other entrances. This expert before them should be one of them.
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with a light that could see through all illusions. However, he still couldn't see through this person. Clearly, this person was at the immortal king realm and was much stronger compared to him.
"I pay my respects to senior." Qin Wentian called out.
That person calmly glanced at Qin Wentian and the others. That heroic face of his contained traces of curiosity and disdain. Shifting his gaze over, he spoke in a low voice, "Fellows who aren't afraid of death. Being able to survive until here, your lives are truly tough."
"Senior, we mistakenly entered the forbidden ground and met with death many times. On the way here, many of our companions died. Can senior guide us to the right path?" The handsome young man beside Qin Wentian clasped his hands.
"There's no right path. Given your cultivation bases, there's only a path of death." That young man calmly spoke, his tone filled with certainty.
"A path of death?" The countenances of Qin Wentian and the two others changed. The old man spoke, "Junior, may I be so bold as to ask if we can follow senior?"
That young man abruptly turned around, his eyes gleaming with sharpness like lightning. That old man staggered backwards as his countenance instantly paled.
A mocking smile appeared on the young man's face. "Are you guys even worthy?"
The old man's countenance dimmed, he had nothing to say. Being led by a supreme character, they truly weren't worthy.
"Senior, this Brother Qin here is a friend of Princess Nongyue of the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom. His status is extraordinary." The young man beside Qin Wentian spoke, as though he was unwilling to give up. It wasn't easy for them to encounter a ray of hope. As long as this young man agreed to help them, they might be able to leave this place alive.
The young man's gaze faltered. He glanced at Qin Wentian as a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"What do you mean by that?" He stared at the young man as he calmly spoke.
Upon sensing the sharpness of the young man's gaze, the young man apologized, "Senior, please forgive me. This junior doesn't have any other intentions."
"No other intentions?" The young man laughed. After which, he stepped out. With just a single step, the countenances of the people beside Qin Wentian paled, as though they were enveloped by a boundless killing intent.
"Senior, please forgive us." Qin Wentian and the old man spoke at the same time. Right now, only one of their companions was left, yet this young man actually wanted to kill them.
"Forgive me? A friend of Beiming Nongyue? Are you using your status to suppress me? " A bolt of lightning flashed in the eyes of that young man. After which, a scream of misery rang out. The companion beside Qin Wentian directly exploded into pieces as fresh blood splattered, landing on Qin Wentian's face. His expression was extremely unsightly to behold.
Although the words of the young man were a little rude, it might not be what he said. However, this young man actually wanted to kill him just because of a single sentence.
"I won't kill you guys. If you guys can leave this place alive, why don't you tell that lass Beiming Nongyue that you met Pei Qing in this forbidden ground." The young man calmly spoke. After which, he turned and departed, vanishing completely with a flash.
"Pei Qing." A terrifying gleam of sharpness flashed in the eyes of the old man.
"Are you acquainted with him?" Qin Wentian asked.
"In the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom, Pei Qing's name is even more resounding compared to Princess Nongyue's." The old man's expression trembled. No wonder this young man wanted to kill someone just because of a single sentence.
"Pei Qing, the youngest immortal emperor in the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom. He's the first person to do so since the founding of the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom." The old man spoke in a low voice, his words causing Qin Wentian's eyes to gleam with sharpness. With such a radiance, no wonder this young man was so arrogant, killing so easily.
This young man looked so young, yet he was actually an immortal emperor.
"Only the two of us are left." Qin Wentian sighed. The old man's expression also froze. Among the people who entered the forbidden ground, only he and Qin Wentian were still alive.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian continued forward. Not long after, they stopped again. Ahead of them, there were actually many stone monuments. These monuments were all wordless, embedded into the ground.
They were like tombstones!
