"I want to see what the Thunder Forbidden Land will look like after it's revived." Li Ming's feathered robes fluttered, his tall figure stepping into the alley and about to disappear.

Left Prime Minister Huang Muyu suddenly shouted, "When are you coming out?"

Li Ming shook his head: "Not sure."

“If you stay inside for hundreds of years, wouldn’t your mother-in-law…” Huang Muyu said, “The Thunder Swamp Forbidden Land means the unknown, and anything can happen. You should release your mother-in-law first.”

She has a point.

A wisp of divine power surged from Li Ming.

He untied the village chief's wife, who had been frozen in place, and then walked into the dark alleyway.

"Young Master Li, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law was a little excited when she saw you and thought you were...you are..."

After calming down, the old woman temporarily set aside the matter of the young master of destiny and said, "I still need to tell you the specifics of the Thunder Swamp Forbidden Area in the Retirement Village."

She came up behind Li Ming.

When Shao Siming and Huang Muyu saw their mother-in-law step into the alley, fearing that she might lay a hand on Li Ming again, they followed her in.

The old woman, with her back hunched, smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry, I won't lay a hand on him again. The forbidden area is dangerous, so you should wait outside."

The two diviners smiled slightly.

If we've already gone into the alley, why would we go out again?

...

In the dark alley, there were many claw marks from wild beasts on the walls, and the ground was stained with blood and pieces of corpses.

Fierce battles once took place here.

"The Nian beast died here. When the forbidden area was revived, the Nian beast kept in the village suddenly went mad, broke out of its cage, rushed into the alley, and then roared and cried out. When I rushed in to save it, it had already been stabbed through the heart by a monster and was devoured by a group of black monsters."

The mother-in-law still feels lingering fear when she recalls what happened back then.

Li Ming asked, "Did you get a clearer picture of what kind of monster it is?"

The village elder shook her head and said, "The black monster looks like wisps of mist, without any form. However, I can clearly see the monster that killed the Nian beast."

At that time, the monster had its back to me, dragging a black iron rod as it walked inside.

As it moved, the ground shook, and from behind, it looked like a monkey.

The one who delivered the fatal blow to the Nian beast was this monkey monster. The power he displayed was terrifying, and his body was wrapped in Daoist patterns and laws.

"If I were to make a move, I reckon I'd get killed with a single blow."

The village chief's wife said, her lips trembling.

That scene was unforgettable for her, etched into her very bones.

She continued, "Later, the monkey tried to leave the forbidden area of ​​Leize through the alley. At that time, its roar was so loud that everyone thought it was going to come out."

Fortunately, a strange iron chain burst out from the forbidden area and dragged him back.

After several attempts, the monkey stopped venturing into the alley, but the roars from within the forbidden area were even more terrifying. I suspected that ancient spirits were active there, testing the limits of the forbidden area.

Listen to her description.

Li Ming felt something was off; this Thunder Swamp Forbidden Land seemed to be very powerful.

If everything inside is at this level, even the realm of Tao is not enough to contend with.

Li Ming asked, "What about the situation inside the forbidden area? Do you know?"

The village elder wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Several years ago, I secretly peeked into the alley and saw a golden-winged roc bathing in thunder and drying its wings in the cold wind. It flew and shattered the void, soaring up ten thousand miles, covering the sky and blocking out the sun and moon, plunging the world into darkness."

"After that, I never dared to venture into the alley again."

"This forbidden land of Thunder Swamp holds a great secret, perhaps even the secrets of the gods," the old woman speculated.

Li Ming took a deep breath and said, "The secret of the retirement village is not simple."

He became increasingly curious.

If all the secrets hidden here could be uncovered, it would surely be earth-shattering.

It might be comparable to the forbidden areas of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the forbidden lands of the Sacred Mountain.

Li Ming wanted to ask more about the retirement village and the forbidden area of ​​Leize, hoping to find out more information, but his mother-in-law had already been drained dry.

That's all the information she has.

Li Ming asked no further questions.

Keep moving forward.

Finally, we reached the end of the alley; the darkness receded, and light reappeared.

The stone next to it bears the powerful inscription "Lei Ze Forbidden Land".

Ahead, the storm formed tornadoes, like roaring dragons; thunder transformed into a sea, whipping up thunderous waves; and terrifying humanoid lightning bolts hung in the sky like skewers of lamb.

"Even though it's formed by lightning, it's still disgusting." Both Shao Siming and Huang Muyu felt nauseous just looking at it.

The village elder said, "As far as I know, the vast Dongsheng has a wide territory, but there has never been a place where such terrifying natural lightning could form. The lightning can even turn into a sea. Perhaps that's why it's called Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh)."

Li Ming looked up at the lightning in the sky and said, "Legend has it that there is a Thunder God in Thunder Marsh, with the body of a dragon and the head of a human, who beats his belly and makes a ruckus."

The village elder said, "You must be referring to the god of thunder."

Li Ming pondered and said, "Besides the Thunder God, it is also said that Fuxi's birth was related to Leize. Legend has it that a girl named Huaxu went to play in the wild and saw a large footprint in Leize. She was very curious and stepped on it. After stepping on it, Huaxu was moved and became pregnant. Twelve years later, she gave birth to Fuxi."

“This is a myth or legend,” said Huang Muyu.

"Mm." Li Ming nodded.

There are many, many more stories about Leize in ancient texts.

Regardless of the specifics, descriptions of it are heavily imbued with mythology, and it is precisely this mythology that makes Raize seem particularly terrifying.
