"Ancient forbidden land?"

Shen Yuan was shocked, and a solemn look immediately appeared on his face.

If Xue Mingzhi had mentioned this name before Shen Yuan traveled back in time ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan would naturally know nothing about it.

But when he traveled back to the small world of Zhenlong tens of thousands of years ago, Shen Yuan had bought many things from the Chamber of Commerce of All Things.

In addition to the crucial methods of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers and several other magical powers, there are also many books about what is happening in the world.

These include lists such as the top ten most powerful people, the top ten beauties, and the seven forbidden areas selected by the Tianji Pavilion ten thousand years ago.

However, those true immortals hidden in the Xuanhuang Realm are simply impossible to show up in the world, so most of the lists are more hype than real use.

But there is one list that has been recognized by people all over the world, and that is the seven forbidden areas that have been famous for tens of thousands of years.

These forbidden areas include strange places where immortals fell and were born, large secret realms occupied by extraterritorial demons, and even some forbidden areas were transformed from alien objects and should not be allowed to remain in the Xuanhuang Realm at all.

Countless powerful men have fallen there throughout the ages, proving how terrifying the seven forbidden areas are.

The ancient forbidden land is one of the seven forbidden areas.

"Sir, do you know the ancient forbidden land?"

Xue Mingzhi asked with some curiosity.

"I only learned a few words from some ancient books handed down in my clan. I only know that the ancient forbidden land has existed for more than ten thousand years, but I know nothing about the true situation of the ancient forbidden land."

After hearing Xue Mingzhi's question, Shen Yuan sorted out the information in his mind and slowly spoke:

“The Ancient Forbidden Land is one of the seven forbidden lands in Xuanhuang Realm, and it is also the only one of the seven forbidden lands that was artificially created.

The ancient forbidden land is located at the core of Beimang Mountain. According to legend, in the ancient times, a fairy weapon was born in Beimang Mountain, which led to conquests and fights among various tribes, and countless strong men shed their blood in Beimang Mountain. Since then, there have been countless dead souls wandering in Beimang Mountain.

Until 70,000 years ago, the Great Xuan Dynasty was overthrown by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the last Emperor of the Great Xuan was besieged by the Great Zhou Heavenly Army in the Beimang Mountain.

The last Human Emperor of Daxuan was unwilling to accept defeat, so he sacrificed himself to cause countless dead souls in Beimang Mountain to riot. The rioting dead souls, carrying the resentment of the Human Emperor before his death, devoured the Great Zhoutian Army.

The Great Zhou Dynasty paid a huge price to suppress the souls of the dead in Beimang Mountain. In the end, it could only ask the Lord of Mount Tai to issue an order to gather the souls, and use the Ten Courts of Hell to trap all the souls in the core area of ​​Beimang Mountain.

After this battle, the Great Zhou Dynasty lost a lot of its resources, and its once prosperous national strength gradually declined, and it was overthrown a few decades later.

Beimang Mountain is the core area where countless rioting souls gathered. In the tens of thousands of years that followed, countless souls fought and devoured each other, eventually turning the core area of ​​Beimang Mountain into a dead end for all living things. "

Shen Yuan paused for a moment, recalling the records about the ancient forbidden land in the book, his eyes filled with caution.

"If it's just the ghosts fighting, it's fine. No matter how strong the ghosts are, they are still the remnants of the dead. If there are immortals holding immortal weapons, they may be able to step into it.

But over tens of thousands of years, due to the killing of countless dead souls and the resentment of the Human Emperor before his death, a strange curse was born in the core area of ​​Beimang Mountain, and any living creature that set foot there would be tainted by the curse.

This curse is an invisible substance that cannot be detected even by immortals. Within seven days of being cursed, practitioners below the level of True Lord will surely die. Even a Taoist Lord at the peak of the Hedao realm will not be able to survive beyond fourteen days.

There was once an immortal who only survived until the 21st day before he was killed by a curse, his soul flew away and his body disappeared.

Since then, the Ancient Forbidden Land has become a world-famous Ancient Forbidden Land."

Xue Mingzhi's face was full of amazement.

If Shen Yuan hadn't told him, such secrets would never have been accessible to a mere Qi-cultivating cultivator like him.

However, Shen Yuan's words did not end.

“The place that is truly cursed is only the core area of ​​Beimang Mountain.

Beimang Mountain occupies an area of ​​hundreds of miles and is one of the most famous mountains and rivers in the world. Many powerful people have occupied the outer territory of Beimang Mountain.

Ten thousand years ago, there was a ghost immortal who mastered the art of corpse transformation, one of the 72 magical powers of the Earthly Fiends. He gathered several ghost immortals and was feared by everyone. People called him the Lord of Beimang Mountain and the number one ghost immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm. "

Speaking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Among the several methods of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers that he possessed, there happened to be the "Corpse Reincarnation Method". It was through this method that he got to know the Lord of Beimang Mountain, the number one ghost immortal in the world.

Although the Lord of Beimang Mountain did not control the ancient forbidden land, he relied on the method of corpse transformation to win over a large number of ghost cultivators.

In terms of strength alone, the Lord of Beimang Mountain may not be as good as Kuang Tianjie, the Lord of Xuehe Yuantu Dao who was killed by Shen Yuan before, but the power of Beimang Mountain is definitely far greater than that of Xuehe Yuantu Dao.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

The power of corpse reincarnation still has a master, and the world's number one ghost immortal is most likely not dead. The outer area of ​​Beimang Mountain alone is already so troublesome, not to mention the weird ancient forbidden area in the core area.

Shen Yuan thought that he was quite powerful, but that was only relative to the various forces in this world. If he really had to deal with these old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years, he would definitely be far inferior.

Shen Yuan immediately made up his mind not to get involved in the affairs of this ancient forbidden land.

Xue Mingzhi, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak up after listening to Shen Yuan's story:

"I didn't expect that Beimang Mountain had such a glorious past. It's really surprising."

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, keenly aware of the hidden meaning in Xue Mingzhi's words, and immediately asked:

"Is there something wrong with Beimang Mountain now?"

Xue Mingzhi was a little surprised and asked, "Sir, don't you know about the deeds of Beimang Mountain?"

Xue Mingzhi regretted saying this as soon as he said it. In his eyes, Shen Yuan was a big shot who had lived for ten thousand years. It was normal for him not to pay attention to these mundane matters. He immediately added:

"Since the Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago, Beimang Mountain has been regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land. Many princes and nobles were buried in Beimang Mountain after their death. Over time, being buried in Beimang Mountain after death has become a symbol for the powerful to demonstrate their power.

Until three thousand years ago, the first Emperor of Xia did not receive the support of the powerful when he was rising to power. In order to raise military funds, he led his army into the Beimang Mountain to dig up the burial objects of the kings and nobles.

This excavation set a bad precedent. For a long time thereafter, Beimang Mountain was visited by countless tomb robbers. Almost every inch of land showed signs of excavation, and the tombs where princes and nobles had set up traps were also the burial place of many tomb robbers.

Because too many disasters had occurred on the mountain, and the powerful people of Daxia did not want their graves to be dug up after their death, they all gave up on being buried in Beimang Mountain.

During this period, there was a rebellion in Luozhou that killed millions of people, so the Great Xia court sent a large number of unclaimed bodies to Beimang Mountain for burial. Over time, the entire Beimang Mountain became a famous mass grave in the entire Great Xia. "

“A few years ago, the Great Xia court supported the development of tourist areas in various places. Luozhou promoted Beimang Mountain and planned to transform this famous mountain into a tourist attraction.

As a result, there were so many graves everywhere during the renovation that they could not be dug up. Luozhou simply transformed it into a horror-style adventure site, and even transformed several large ancient tombs into haunted houses, which gained great popularity. "While talking, Xue Mingzhi took out his mobile phone and opened a video related to Beimang Mountain and handed it to Shen Yuan to watch.

The video shows a huge, dark stone chamber, with carvings of tomb guardian beasts and stone coffins remaining around it. It is obviously an ancient tomb.

However, a huge colorful light ball was hung in the center of the ancient tomb. Under the colorful lights, a group of young people were dancing crazily, and there were several huge speakers standing around.

Looking at the outrageous scene in front of him, Shen Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Other people just dance on top of graves at most, but the people in the video are already dancing in graves.

After taking a look at the date the video was uploaded, Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised to find that it was uploaded yesterday.

It would be fine if these things happened before the spiritual energy tide began to revive, but without the support of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it would be a dead end for any practitioner. Even if they were dancing on the grave of the Lord of Beimang Mountain, the world's number one ghost immortal would not be able to make any move.

But now the spiritual energy tide has been revived for more than a year, and the lord of Beimang Mountain must have recovered some of his strength. Although he cannot turn Beimang Mountain into a restricted area, it is not a problem to form a ghost den to isolate ordinary people from entering. There will definitely not be such outrageous things as disco in a graveyard.

There is only one possibility for such a situation to occur.

"The Lord of Beimang Mountain is in a bad condition just like Old Demon Kuang?"

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan asked Xue Mingzhi for confirmation:

"Has anything unusual happened in Beimang Mountain after the spiritual energy tide revived?"

Xue Mingzhi replied without hesitation:

“No! Although Beimang Mountain is barren and has a large number of tombs, not many abnormal things have happened in Beimang Mountain after the spiritual energy tide.

Intelligent monsters are rare in Beimang Mountain, and even ghosts are only occasional wandering souls in new graves.

Most of the graveyards on the mountain are too old, and the ghosts that were exhausted of spiritual energy have long since died, so it is impossible for powerful ghosts to be born."

Xue Mingzhi's words shocked Shen Yuan, who was about to back out.

If it was just a guess before, Shen Yuan could now be sure that something was definitely wrong with the Lord of Beimang Mountain, and even if he was alive, his condition was not as good as before.

Otherwise, given the character of this ghost immortal, he would never allow humans to occupy the land of Beimang Mountain on a large scale.

Realizing this, Shen Yuan instantly realized that this was an opportunity.

If we can get rid of that ghost immortal while he is weak, not only can we eliminate possible disasters in the future, but the record of killing the world's number one ghost immortal will definitely trigger a hidden achievement.

When killing Kuang Tianjie, the leader of the Xuehe Yuantu Sect, Shen Yuan noticed that the system prompts not only mentioned killing Kuang Tianjie, but also mentioned exterminating the Xuehe Yuantu Sect and killing all the evil sects in the ten directions.

The demon cultivators of Xuehe Yuantu Sect and Shifang Demon Sect had all died long ago during the period of spiritual energy depletion, leaving only Xuehe Yuantu Kuang Tianjie. Therefore, Shen Yuan was able to trigger the reward of exterminating the entire Demon Sect only after killing Kuang Tianjie, and obtained the precious second magical power of Disha, driving away gods.

Simply killing the Lord of Beimang Mountain naturally cannot be compared with exterminating the devil, but at least it can be regarded as a magical power that is among the top ten in the world.

If all the other ghost immortals and ghost kings in Beimang Mountain had already died, Shen Yuan might still be able to achieve the achievement of exterminating the Beimang Mountain lineage, which is generally no worse than exterminating the evil sect.

After all, in front of the major caves and blessed places, the demonic sect has been declining for tens of thousands of years, and its size may not be comparable to that of Beimang Mountain, which has several ghost immortals.

When he thought of this, even Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disturbed.

“If it’s not inferior to the Divine Exorcist ability, then doesn’t that mean it’s only the number one Disha ability?

Or even if it's a misjudgment, at worst I can get the third Disha magical power, which is still of great value to me."

For Shen Yuan today, if he obtains the lower-ranked Earthly Demon magical powers, it is not worth his effort. But if it involves the magical powers that rank top few in the Earthly Demons, it is a different concept.

The two outliers are the first magical power of driving away gods and the first magical power of earthly evil. The other top ten magical powers are already enough to make the immortals from the mortal world fight for them, which is enough to show how precious they are.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan has made up his mind to go to Beimang Mountain to find out what's going on.

But before that, Shen Yuan was still somewhat curious about the ancient forbidden land mentioned by Xue Mingzhi.

Since the Lord of Beimang Mountain is so weak that he can't even protect his own territory, is the ancient forbidden land also profitable?

You must know that this ten thousand year period of spiritual energy depletion will certainly have a great impact on practitioners, but areas like the ancient forbidden land will inevitably be severely affected, and those collapsed caves and blessed places are proof of this.

Shen Yuan asked, "You suddenly mentioned the ancient forbidden land. Could something have happened there?"

Xue Mingzhi quickly said: “As the spiritual energy tide continues to recover, in addition to the return of the cave paradise, many secret realms have also returned to heaven and earth.

Some practitioners mistakenly entered the secret realm and eventually got a lot of opportunities, which made many practitioners want to try to use the secret realm to achieve success overnight.

Some time ago, some young men from the imperial capital's aristocratic families received news that a secret realm was suspected to have appeared on Mount Beimang, and many people wanted to fight for the opportunity.

More than a dozen practitioners, accompanied by tour guides who had lived in the mountains for generations, entered the core area of ​​Beimang Mountain. As a result, all the practitioners died unexpectedly, and only a few tour guides escaped from the core area of ​​Beimang Mountain in a hurry.

It was only after I knew about this that I found information about the name of the ancient forbidden land in ancient books."

Hearing these words, Shen Yuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Since they had entered an ancient forbidden area, the death of those practitioners was not surprising. Instead, it was somewhat unusual that several tour guides were able to walk out of the forbidden area alive.

As the thoughts flowed, the light of the sun above the secret courtyard dimmed, and then the stars in the sky hung high in the night sky, and the deduction was carried out with the stars as pieces and the starry sky as chess pieces.

The starlight in Shen Yuan's eyes interpreted the trajectory of fate.

Xue Mingzhi looked at the strange changes in the world before him and even subconsciously restrained his breathing.

After a long while, the starry sky finally returned to calm.

There were stars in Shen Yuan's eyes, and his expression was more serious than ever before.

"Get ready to go."

Xue Mingzhi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Where are we going?"

Shen Yuan strode towards the exit of the courtyard, and lightly waved the Huiming Sword with his right hand, which turned into a white light and fell into his palm.

"Beimang Mountain!"
