Chapter 28: Federal Forbidden Zone!

Since we can't cultivate together, we definitely need to refine our bodies. Even if we want to cultivate Qi, wouldn't it be better to cultivate the Federation's Qi Refining Technique? Why bother with the Qi Induction Technique? It's a first-grade, high-level one, and the highest level we can cultivate is the ninth level of Qi Induction.

This lousy cultivation technique is far inferior to his own Xuanhuang Undying Body.

Once one condenses the Xuanhuang Imperishable Body, that is an immortal. Even if it is only the first stage of one's cultivation—the Thick Earth Suppressing Primordial Body—the upper limit is extremely high.

The Condensed Earth Body is comparable to a Core Formation cultivator, the Lesser Completion of the Dharma Body is comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Greater Completion of the Dharma Body is comparable to a Deity Transformation cultivator. Moreover, there are advanced cultivation techniques.

From Nascent Soul to Void Refinement, from Mahayana to True Immortal, all cultivation methods are available. With these methods, why bother cultivating a first-tier high-grade Qi Gathering Technique when you have nothing to do?

Putting down the Qi Gathering Technique, Chu Xuan turned to study the Fire Cloud Technique again. This was more troublesome, and with the attributes not being compatible, it took Chu Xuan a full twenty days to barely manage to condense it.

As the magic seal was formed, nearly a third of Chu Xuan's magical power was instantly drained away. A pale yellow ball of light exploded in front of Chu Xuan, like a large mushroom.

According to the book, once the Dharma Seal is formed, it transforms into a fiery cloud that covers a three-foot radius. It can be used to attack the enemy to save oneself or to block the enemy's advance.

Sure enough, you can't just practice different types of spells randomly. Even if you master them, you won't be able to conjure up a fiery cloud with your earth-elemental magic power.

At this point, Chu Xuan had mastered all three introductory seals. Of course, this was only a matter of mastering them. The difficulty of the Qi Gathering Technique lay not in the first seal, but in how to construct the second seal while maintaining the balance of the first seal.

The difficulty in creating magic seals lies in the speed at which they are constructed. With Chu Xuan's level of proficiency in magic seals, it would take him at least two or three minutes to condense a single seal. If he were to use it against an enemy, he would have been killed long ago. He has only just begun to grasp the basics.

One minute is considered proficient, thirty seconds is considered a minor achievement, ten seconds is considered a major achievement, and five seconds is considered perfect.

Five seconds is the fastest speed recorded in the book. At the perfect level, it should be similar to the Federation's consummate skill, right?

You'll naturally understand this after you've encountered more Qi Refining Realm cultivators in the future.

Setting the three cultivation manuals aside, Chu Xuan moved his mind and appeared in his apartment the next moment. He sent a message in the family group that he was going to the forbidden area for arduous cultivation. After receiving replies and encouragement from his family, Chu Xuan decisively bought a large number of Bigu Pills and embarked on his journey.

Forbidden!

The most dangerous place in the Federation is also the place with the most opportunities.

Even with the Federation's current strength, it cannot completely eliminate any forbidden area, even if all its strongest members are gathered together.

What is a forbidden area?

This has been a forbidden zone for living beings since ancient times, but it will end the catastrophe that will ravage the world in the future!

Some federal scholars have even asserted that the future federation will be 100% destroyed by the forbidden zone!

These things sound incredible, after all, the Federation is ridiculously powerful now, with countless immortals in the Immortal Abode, plus the inheritances and treasures it has collected. No one knows how deep the Federation's foundation is.

When Chu Xuan first learned about the Forbidden Land, he found it unbelievable that there were things the Immortal Abode couldn't solve in the Federation.

But when Chu Xuan truly understood what the forbidden area was, he felt that the Federation scholars had been too conservative in their assessment; the difference in strength between the two was simply too great.

What is a forbidden area? Simply put, it is a place where demons are sealed.

In ancient times, there were many true immortals, and naturally there were also peerless demons and unparalleled monsters. These demons and monsters basically disappeared along with the true immortals as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to decline.

However, during the ancient and prehistoric periods, some top-tier demons were suppressed by powerful formations due to various reasons.

Of course, these were not significant at the time. If they could suppress you, they could also kill you; they just didn't want to.

However, some of the suppressed demons, due to various coincidences, have remained to this day.

The high-level cultivators of the Primordial and Ancient Eras have even forgotten about them. In the recent ancient era, with the decline of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there are fewer and fewer immortals in the world, and eventually even Mahayana cultivators have become rare.

Gradually, these suppressed beings became the strongest beings in the world.

In ancient times, a great cultivator also realized the harm these people posed, so he gathered the power of all living beings in the world and, together with a great formation, wanted to exterminate all the sealed beings.

However, among these sealed beings, some are ancient beings from the Primordial Era, and some are powerful beings who dominated the ancient times.

They are basically all at the level of true immortals; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived until now.

A true immortal, a genuine immortal!

Even though their strength had declined significantly due to prolonged suppression and the depletion of spiritual energy, they were still not easily killed by a group of cultivators at the Integration or Mahayana stages.

From ancient times to the present, nearly a hundred demons in the Sealed Demon Land have been killed, but twelve remain. Cultivators have tried every method imaginable, yet they still cannot subdue them.

This eventually evolved into the Twelve Forbidden Zones we know today.

In other words, the twelve forbidden areas contain twelve true immortals, and they are the best among the true immortals.

Back in the near-ancient era, this terrifying being was so powerful that even the combined might of an entire realm couldn't kill it; now, it's even more impossible.

All the cultivators in the world can do is to continuously strengthen the seal that suppresses them, thereby delaying their emergence. From the near ancient times to the present, at least several thousand eras have passed, and the cultivators of each era have been trying to find ways to strengthen the seal of the Twelve Forbidden Lands.

This also resulted in the area surrounding the forbidden zone being filled with secret realms left behind by fallen masters, thus making the forbidden zone a place for cultivators from the entire Federation to search for treasures.

The fact that his "secret realm" appeared near the forbidden area was just right. It made perfect sense to find a secret realm near the forbidden area, and it could perfectly explain his cheat ability!

······

Arriving at Mingjiang City Bus Station, Chu Xuan boarded the high-speed train bound for Suolongguan Station.

Suolong Pass, the closest forbidden area to Mingjiang City, is where a true dragon is suppressed. It is said to be the Dragon King from ancient times, who turned a country into a swamp, causing the death of hundreds of millions of people. He was suppressed in Suolong Pass by a Taoist ancestor using the Six Jia Qimen.

Chu Xuan shook his head, suppressing the story of the Dragon Locking Forbidden Land. The Dragon Locking Forbidden Land was not something he should worry about right now; his priority was to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chu Xuan looked around at the people in the seats. The vast majority of them were young people, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

It seems they're all going there for the opportunity at the Dragon Locking Pass. Well, there's nothing more painful than being unable to cultivate immortality in a world of cultivation.

If you don't do well on the college entrance exam and can't enter the Immortal Abode, and the spiritual energy of the Federation is too thin to reach the Foundation Establishment stage through body refinement, then the secret realms around the forbidden area are everyone's only chance to defy fate.
