Chapter 339: The Ten Forbidden Zones, Want to Compete for the New Emperor? All Are Shocked
"Among the Ten Forbidden Zones in the Heavens, at least six or seven of them will send people this time. On the surface, these forbidden zones are allies, and they share the same stance."
On the way to the Four Extremes Palace, Buzhou Xian introduced to Jiang Lan the origins and relationships between the major forbidden areas in the heavens.
The ten forbidden areas are the boundary tomb, the ruins, the burial ground, the four poles resting place, the Yanghe, the Yinyuan, the Buzhou Broken Mountain, the Jiwu Cave, the Yuanji Ridge and the Kunlun Immortal Ruins.
Except for Kunlun Immortal Ruins, the other nine forbidden areas are all on this side of the heavens. The area where they are located is extremely mysterious, shrouded in a layer of chaotic space-time field. Ordinary people cannot see it at all. Sometimes there will be no movement in an era.
Even if one is a world master, one must be humble and careful in front of these restricted areas and must not dare to show any disrespect.
There are actually quite a few mysterious places like the forbidden zone in the universe. However, just like the ten most powerful thousand worlds, the places that can stand independently in the forbidden zone have origins and backgrounds that the world dare not imagine.
Take Buzhou Duanshan for example. This was once the place where the Queen of Heaven practiced meditation. In the ancient times, it was the Buzhou Sacred Mountain that supported the sky. This origin alone is terrifying enough.
To put it bluntly, if Buzhou Xian insisted on hiding in Buzhou Duanshan and not coming out, no one could hurt her at all. The natural patterns inside Buzhou Duanshan were enough to resist the invasion of immortal-level beings.
Just like those beings who invaded Buzhou Duanshan last time and fought for the Four Immortal Maps, they were all true masters of the forbidden areas with extraordinary strength. Ordinary world masters were not taken seriously by them at all.
Jiang Lan saw the worry in Buzhou Xian's heart, smiled lightly, and said indifferently, "I know what you mean. Since I choose to go with you, I am naturally not afraid that these restricted area masters have ill intentions."
Jiang Ruxian, who was walking side by side with him, also nodded and said, "I have completely taken control of Kunlun Immortal Ruins. If the Lord of the Forbidden Zone wants to force us to stay, I also have the means to leave safely."
Buzhouxian shook his head and sighed, "I guess the person who attacked you outside the Zhutian Palace last time was the master of the Sijixi Mansion."
"If it's really him, I will take that thing back myself."
When Jiang Ruxian heard this, a flash of coldness passed through her eyes.
Jiang Lan smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her soft hair, and said, "You don't have to do it yourself. The Lord of Sijixi Mansion will hand it over personally when the time comes."
Jiang Ruxian glanced at him and nodded slightly, as if she believed what Jiang Lan said and was very confident in his ability.
Buzhouxian looked at the two of them, his eyes becoming more and more confused.
She always felt that Jiang Lan was shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist, and Jiang Ruxian obviously knew something about it.
Half a day later, several people tore open a large cosmic barrier, passed through several layers of space-time disorder, and finally arrived at the place where the Four Extremes Palace was located.
Looking around, there was a gloomy silence, like an eternal frozen land. The entire sky was dim and covered by thick fog.
The ground is full of gullies and cracks, as well as huge meteorite craters, surrounded by pale green ghost lights that never go out all year round and swirling with floc-like mist, as if it really is connected to the underworld.
In the ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven tried to open up a real place of reincarnation and establish a system of underworld in an independent and complete time and space outside the human world. From then on, the immortals returned to heaven, the human world belonged to monks, and ghosts returned to the underworld.
Unfortunately, this prototype had only just taken shape when the ancient heaven collapsed.
The origin of the Four Poles Breathing Palace is related to the prototype of the underworld. It is said that the end of the Four Poles Breathing Palace is connected to the Mother River of All Things. After life returns to the abyss, the spiritual matter in it will be integrated into the Mother River of All Things and become the material for creating new life.
After several years, the Mother Tree of Life will blossom and bear fruit, and new groups of creatures will be born, similar to a cycle that repeats itself over and over again.
Jiang Lan stood in the space and time of Siji Xifu. When he looked over, he felt a strange breath. In his eyes, countless threads of cause and effect spread out. The world in front of him began to change, and finally a blurry shadow of a river appeared.
At the end of the Four Extremes Palace, there seems to be a river containing the destiny of all living things. Every branch seems to penetrate and spread into endless time and space, connecting any timeline from existence to non-existence.
Each of its branches seems to be an eternal destiny that runs through everything. Endless destinies converge into this boundless river.
"The dried-up branches of the Ten Thousand Mother Rivers..."
"This is a corner of the reincarnation system established by the Emperor of Heaven after the collapse of the ancient heaven. The source is connected to the dried-up Ten Thousand Mother Rivers." Jiang Lan said.
Buzhouxian and Jiang Ruxian were both a little surprised when they heard this.
"It seems that the rumors are true. The Four Extremes Palace is really related to the Land of Reincarnation..." Buzhou Xian couldn't help but whisper.
Deep in this area, there is a group of ancient palaces that have experienced many vicissitudes of life. There are also many gray mountain peaks, which are gray and black all over, shrouded in a faint mist, and are looming.
In the very center, brilliant light shines, giving off a sacred feeling.
There is an extremely spacious platform, which seems to be made of the darkest fairy gold, with one natural texture after another. There is a vast chaotic air hanging from the four corners, which makes it look like the place where the ancient immortals and gods preached.
Above the platform, in the void, four caves were suspended high. Each cave was extremely mysterious, surrounded by different colors, some were gray and heavy like mist, some were golden and bright like the blazing sun, and some were clear and blue like the blue sky...
Every cave is filled with a terrifying pressure. If you get close to it, your body will explode.
On the high platform, there were already many figures waiting. Many creatures that looked like humans, glowing all over, were drinking tea there.
There are beautiful maids who bring all kinds of fairy tea. There is also a clear lake on the side, which is crystal clear. Tall sacred trees rustle, and their leaves are golden, exuding Buddhist charm. The collision seems to be accompanied by the Buddha's chanting of holy scriptures.
"The Posuo sacred tree, the sacred tree in the Western Heaven, is related to an ancient Buddha..." Empress Wanyang followed behind Jiang Lan and had not spoken a word. When she saw the golden sacred tree at this moment, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"The creator of the Western Heaven has a great connection with the master of the Four Poles Breathing Palace. It was once said that the preacher of Buddhism in the Western Heaven is an incarnation of the Four Poles Breathing Palace." Buzhou Xian said.
Empress Wanyang was even more surprised. She didn't expect that all the worlds in the heavens and the universe were actually involved and connected with these forbidden areas in various ways.
"If that's the case, then after the catastrophe in the heavens, those realm masters who disappeared would have been protected by various forbidden areas." She thought.
"The people from Buzhou Duanshan are here..."
At this time, a humanoid creature on the high platform spoke and looked over.
His whole body was enveloped in brilliant rays of light, he was sitting upright on a jade stool, sipping fragrant tea, his eyes were deep and quiet, like an endless abyss, shocking.
Opposite this humanoid creature, there was a group of boundless light spreading, filled with divine aura, and a gentle and magnetic voice sounded, saying, "I hope Buzhou Immortal will not mind the last time Buzhou Duanshan was disrespectful."
In the center of this boundless light, there was also a figure sitting cross-legged, extremely blurry, as if there were a world surrounding it. Wisps of five-colored light were spreading, like a true god in the world. It was one of the masters of the restricted area who had forced his way through the Buzhou Broken Mountain.
Behind them, there were many servants and descendants. It was a huge group of people. There were quite a lot of them, all exuding a shocking aura and pressure, and their strength was astonishing.
"You guys are here pretty early."
Buzhouxian's eyes were very calm as she walked towards the high platform. Jiang Lan, Jiang Ruxian and others followed her and went over together.
These two people are the owners of the ruins and burial ground. The man sitting on the white jade stool is the Lord of the Ruins, and people call him God.
There are many different opinions about his origins. Some say that he is an ancient creature born in chaos, while others say that he obtained supreme fortune and became invincible after the first great catastrophe in the heavens.
The origin of the Lord of Heaven is mysterious. He once displayed the unique skills of the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Free Heaven. This makes people suspect that he may have received guidance from the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Free Heaven, or that he has a deep connection with these two.
"Si Ji Daoyou invited us, why didn't we come earlier?"
The figure in the boundless light opposite God spoke again, his tone was still gentle and divinity-filled, making people involuntarily think of God and couldn't help but feel like worshipping him.
However, his name does not match his divinity. The lords of the restricted areas call him "Zang", and he is the owner of the burial ground.
"You came too early." Buzhouxian said coldly.
Zang smiled and said, "Not too early, not too early. It's just right that you come early to discuss something. This should be the new emperor, right? He has indeed become a powerful figure, with a destiny like a dragon that cannot be looked at directly. The important task of rebuilding the future order and clearing up the heavens and three realms will be handed over to the new emperor."
On this high platform, many creatures looked over at the calm Jiang Lan, with some showing surprise, some shocked, some confused, some indifferent... all in one.
"Your tone should be more respectful." Buzhou Xian's eyes were even colder.
Zang smiled without saying anything, then looked at Jiang Ruxian and said, "The successor of Kunlun Xianxu, logically speaking, there should be only nine forbidden areas in the universe. Kunlun Xianxu has always been in the ancient heaven, so why did you let this girl come here? Could it be the intention of Daoist Siji?"
Although his tone was gentle, he did not hide the aggressiveness and scrutiny.
Many living beings here looked at Jiang Ruxian with unfriendly eyes.
Jiang Ruxian's expression was even colder than Buzhouxian's. Her eyes were filled with indifference. She just stood there quietly, ignoring Zang's scrutinizing gaze.
"Since Fellow Daoist Siji allowed her in, he naturally got his permission. This matter has nothing to do with us." At this time, the Lord of Heaven spoke. His voice was majestic and low, and very oppressive, which prevented Zang from continuing to examine.
"At the end of the Nine Ages, a new emperor will appear, all heavens will be at peace, and all calamities will be eliminated. This is the prophecy left by the Queen of Heaven."
"In the near future, we will all be liquidated by the Ancient Heaven, so the new emperor does not need to worry or be on guard. We are all in the same position. Our real enemies are the Ancient Heaven and the Ancient Heavenly Emperor." The Lord of Heaven looked at Jiang Lan, his tone slightly restrained, expressing goodwill.
While all the living creatures were looking at Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan's eyes also swept over them.
"The balance of heavens, the prerequisite for the elimination of all calamities is the unification of the heavens. I came here this time to inform you of this matter." He spoke casually, as if giving an order.
Zang was startled when he heard this, then he suddenly laughed and said, "Does the new emperor mean that he wants us to submit to you?"
The rest of the servants and followers behind him also laughed at this time, as if they had heard a joke, and looked at Jiang Lan with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
As the masters of the forbidden area, they can be said to be the most powerful creatures in the world. They look down on the past and present, and shock the sky for eternity. Few people can match them.
Jiang Lan has been the emperor in the ancient heavens for only a few years, but he is already trying to unify the heavens and make all the lords of the restricted areas obey his orders and be ruled by him?
Was he a bit of a fool? Did he really think that he could command all existence with a prophecy left by the Queen? "The unification of the heavens is indeed an inevitable trend, and the new emperor's growth rate is indeed beyond our imagination. But if you want us to submit, you still have to show us the qualifications that make us willingly submit."
God did not ridicule directly like Zang did, but spoke seriously with a bit of comfort.
The fact that Jiang Lan captured the Lord of the Dharma Realm across the barrier between the two worlds did cause quite a stir and commotion in the heavens, but this does not mean that Jiang Lan has the power to command the entire heavens?
Without the barrier between the two worlds, the masters of the restricted areas can deal with the world masters as easily as a cat playing with a mouse. Jiang Lan can ignore the barrier between the two worlds simply because of his special status.
From this point of view, it is not enough to convince the public.
"You're right. The unification of the universe is an inevitable trend. I tell you in advance because I'm giving you a chance." Jiang Lan's tone was as casual as ever, and there was no change because of this.
God frowned, looking slightly unhappy, but still said nothing more.
The sarcasm in Zang's eyes became even stronger. He shook his head, picked up the fragrant tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"You are so young and frivolous. I always say that being successful at a young age is not a good thing. You never know how to be humble and don't know that there are always people better than you."
"So what if you are the new emperor? We respect you and call you emperor. We don't care about you. You are nothing more than a junior. The two restricted area masters are trying to comfort you with good intentions, but you are so ignorant."
At this time, a sound came from not far away, and the void rumbled, as if thunder exploded.
A humanoid creature surrounded by lightning shook his head and sighed. Horrible lightning talismans filled his whole body, as if he was performing an innate thunder calamity. It was accompanied by a breath of destruction that made people dare not approach him.
He walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, followed by a group of creatures that were also filled with lightning. They were all extremely powerful, with arrogant eyes and innate pride.
"The Thunder Spirit Clan among the Xiantian Spirit Clan, like the Stone Spirit Clan, is blessed by the Great Dao and is born to control the power of thunder and lightning. The ancestor of this clan was once named the Thunder God and controlled the power of punishment in the Ancient Heaven. Later, for some unknown reason, he left the Ancient Heaven..."
When Buzhou Xian saw the person coming, he transmitted his thoughts to explain to Jiang Lan.
She knew that Jiang Lan didn't know much about some of the ethnic groups and territories in the universe.
In addition to the major worlds, there are actually many ethnic groups with amazing origins, whose strength is no weaker than that of the most powerful worlds.
The Lei Ling clan in front of them is one of them. This clan still has the innate power of thunder punishment. It is a terrifying power that can punish immortals and remove them from the immortal register. Even the lord of the restricted area is afraid of it.
"It's not your turn to comment on how I act." Jiang Lan just casually glanced at the leader of the Lei Ling tribe.
Anyone who can participate in this restricted area event must have a very impressive background and strength. This person actually has a complete world of thunder in his body, which is so vast that it is almost as vast as the entire universe. Not only that, it also contains a complete avenue of thunder, filled with countless lightning flashes, which are dazzling and shocking.
In terms of strength, ordinary realm masters may not be a match for this creature.
"I am Lei Luo from the Lei Ling clan. I am honored to meet the two restricted area masters. I am here on the orders of my ancestor to participate in this event on his behalf."
This member of the Lei Ling clan first bowed to Zanghe Tianzhu, and then sneered at Jiang Lan, "My clan was born with the power of thunder and is favored by the Great Dao. The clans in the world, even the dragons and phoenixes, are afraid of my clan. Even so, my clan dare not be arrogant in front of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone."
"What prophecy of the Queen of Heaven? It's just a lie used to deceive the world. Even the true words of the ancient emperor of heaven were torn up by our clan and ignored. What qualifications do you have to shout in front of our clan?"
"The true new emperor must be selected through countless fights and battles. You are not worthy of the title."
"My tribe is the first to disobey."
In the last sentence, Lei Luo had no longer concealed his hostility. In his eyes, lightning flashed violently, as if there was a sea of thunder surging and surging, with astonishing destructive power.
He stared at Jiang Lan closely, with a terrible fighting spirit rising from his body. If it weren't for the special time and space here, he would have been torn apart and pierced through long ago, and even the universe would have been in chaos.
All the creatures on the platform looked like they were watching the fun, not caring at all about the seriousness of the matter.
Zang and Tianzhu did not say anything, but just watched the scene quietly. They could naturally see that Lei Luo had already been warned, otherwise it would be impossible for him to say such "treasonous" words to the Queen Mother in the territory of Siji Xifu.
There was already a layer of coldness on Buzhouxian's face. Lei Luo had provoked Jiang Lan before and even insulted the Queen Mother. This was something she could not tolerate at all.
"It seems like you want to compete for the position of the new emperor?" Jiang Lan's expression did not change because of Lei Luo's words, and his tone was still casual.
Lei Luo said coldly, "I just don't accept it. The new emperor's position should be born under the witness of all the worlds of all races in the heavens, not by you making up a name in the ancient heaven and dividing up the ancient emperor's luck."
"How dare you." Buzhouxian showed anger on her face. He provoked her again and again, showing that he really didn't take her, the owner of Buzhou Duanshan, seriously.
Lei Luo was obviously a little afraid of Buzhou Xian, but after Zang, who was standing beside him, gave him a gentle look, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Jiang Lan, do you dare to fight me?"
He used his magical power to speak these words, and they instantly spread across the platform like thunder, attracting everyone's attention.
Even in this area of Siji Xifu, many creatures heard it and cast their gazes from different areas.
The Lord of Sijixi Mansion, who had never appeared, was also looking over from high up in the void. There was also a blurry figure beside him, also paying attention with strange eyes.
"You are not qualified to fight me."
Jiang Lan stood with his hands behind his back, not caring too much about Lei Luo's provocation, like a real dragon who doesn't care about the shouting of ants under his feet. His emotions did not change at all.
"However, if you want to commit suicide, I can help you. It just so happens that I need a great law to perfect something of mine." He said calmly.
"Haha, even if you are the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, you cannot humiliate my clan like this. You are so bold."
Lei Luo shouted angrily and punched him directly.
With a loud bang, the void exploded, and a surging chaotic thunder suddenly fell from the sky, illuminating the dark and deep universe outside, as if it was about to shatter everything.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan raised his eyelids, as if he finally looked at Lei Luo formally, then he opened his mouth and made a swallowing gesture.
For a moment, countless rules in front were distorted, and the chaotic thunder that was striking down suddenly spread out. The place where Lei Luo was standing seemed to be swallowed by an invisible giant mouth and instantly turned into a vacuum. Even the breath of the Tao disappeared.
Lei Luo disappeared out of thin air, as if he had evaporated. Even his trace of breath completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
Looking at this incredible scene, all the living beings on the platform were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
Tianzhu and Zang couldn't help but shrink their pupils. They looked at each other and saw a hint of disbelief and horror in each other's expressions.
