Chapter 1523 Entering the Forbidden Land of Nirvana
Chapter 1523 Entering the Forbidden Land of Nirvana
"That's the entrance to the Forbidden Land of Nirvana." Nezha's eyes lit up, and he twirled his spear in his hand. "Could it be that the previous storm of laws tore through the barrier?"
At this point, the three of them quickly approached the rift, and the closer they got, the more they could feel the vast and ancient aura emanating from it.
The rift is only wide enough for two people to pass side by side, and the light inside is distorted, making it difficult to see clearly.
Lu Chen subconsciously reached out his hand, then activated the Chaos Dao Life Technique, slowly probing towards the edge of the rift, trying to analyze the specific situation.
The moment my fingertips touched the gray light, a strong suction force came over me, and at the same time, countless fragmented images flooded into my mind.
The scene shows a collapsing temple, broken weapons, burning stars, and... a sigh that seems to transcend eternity.
Lu Chen abruptly withdrew his hand, his face turning deathly pale. He exclaimed in terror, "It's very dangerous inside, but it's definitely the gateway to the Nirvana Forbidden Land. I sensed fragments of the 'Dao,' and... some kind of mysterious call."
"A call?" Fang Xinyi frowned. "Is it an opportunity, or a trap?"
"I can't tell," Lu Chen shook his head. "But in that sigh, there was an aura that originated from the same cultivation technique as mine."
Upon hearing this, Nezha and Fang Xinyi looked into the crevice with different expressions.
Nezha pondered and said, "I have heard that the Nirvana Forbidden Land has existed for countless epochs and is said to be related to some secrets from the creation of the world. If your cultivation technique is indeed related to this place, it may truly be your destiny."
“But it could also be the greatest danger.” Fang Xinyi was unusually serious. “As far as I know, the more deeply a secret realm is intertwined with one’s own karma, the easier it is to trigger a fatal calamity.”
Lu Chen remained silent for a moment after hearing this.
He certainly understood the principle that risk and opportunity coexist. In that fleeting glimpse, he sensed at least three chaotic currents of law powerful enough to instantly annihilate a Dao Integration Realm expert. Not to mention the desolate, deathly silence contained in that sigh, a silence that seemed capable of freezing the soul.
but……
The Chaos Dao Life Technique circulated within his body at a noticeably faster rate, by a third. The Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror in his arms also became slightly warm. Even the golden bead world within his dantian trembled slightly.
All these signs point to the depths of the fissure.
"What do you think?" Lu Chen asked his two companions.
Nezha shrugged and laughed nonchalantly, "You saved my life, so wherever you go, I'll go. Besides, I came to the Nirvana Forbidden Land to seek opportunities, so how could I possibly back down because of fear of danger?"
As he spoke, he pointed to an inconspicuous pattern at the edge of the crack. "Look," he said, "this pattern looks like half a broken lotus flower."
Fang Xinyi didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Lu Chen, do you remember when I asked you to come to the Nirvana Forbidden Land with me, but didn't explain why?"
Lu Chen nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.
"The reason I brought you to the Forbidden Land of Nirvana is twofold: firstly, because you saved me, and secondly, because I know you possess great fortune. People like you often have a higher chance of surviving if they come here," Fang Xinyi said.
"So you want to use my great luck to find what you want, right?" Lu Chen asked, and Fang Xinyi nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"You won't blame me for taking advantage of you, will you?"
"No, we're just getting what we need." When Lu Chen first heard about the Nirvana Forbidden Land, besides curiosity, he was mostly looking for a place he couldn't find, and having Fang Xinyi lead the way would naturally make things much easier. So he didn't care about Fang Xinyi's claim that she wanted to use his great fortune by dragging him along.
Having cultivated to this level, Fang Xinyi instantly understood Lu Chen's thoughts, so she said softly, "However, I can promise you that if I get the treasure I want, I will share some with you."
"What kind of treasure is it? Do I have a share?" As soon as Nezha heard that there was something good, he immediately came over to ask.
"It depends on your performance," Fang Xinyi said with a smile, then continued:
"The Nirvana Forbidden Ground is extremely dangerous. We need to restore ourselves to our current state as much as possible and make thorough preparations. Lu Chen! Do you have any more array flags to set up formations?"
Lu Chen quickly scanned the golden bead world with his divine sense. "Less than 30% of the Saint-grade array flags remain, but that's enough to set up a small protective array. Give me the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
"Alright, let's set off in a bit." Nezha grinned. "I also need to solidify my previous insights. Lu Chen, your method of forcing your body to withstand the laws is crazy, but its tempering effect on the Dharma body of heaven and earth is damn good!"
Everyone reached a consensus.
Lu Chen immediately set to work, rearranging the remaining array flags. Although most of the materials had been lost, with his cultivation level and understanding of the laws, the protective array he set up was even more exquisite.
Fang Xinyi found a relatively intact rock and sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing. She had previously maintained the Azure Wood Eternal Heaven and Earth Dharma Image to provide protection for the two of them, which had taken a toll on her and she had not yet fully recovered.
Nezha sat directly near the rift, his three-headed, six-armed celestial form appearing and disappearing, seemingly attempting to absorb the faint Daoist energy emanating from the rift. It seems this guy has picked up some bad habits from Lu Chen.
As time passed, little by little.
The wind rose again over the Gobi Desert. This time, the wind carried a strange sobbing sound, as if something was crying in the distance.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea passes in the blink of an eye. After Lu Chen integrated the last array flag into the array, a small defensive array appeared out of thin air and enveloped the three of them, providing them with protection.
At this moment, Lu Chen stood up and looked into the depths of the rift. His gaze became even more profound, because he vaguely sensed that the call from the depths of the rift... seemed to have become stronger.
It wasn't an enhancement of sound, but a kind of mysterious pull, as if an invisible thread connected him to some being deep within the forbidden area.
This strange occurrence gave Lu Chen a bad feeling.
“Lu Chen, I’ve made a new discovery.” Nezha appeared beside me at some point and whispered, “Just now, when I was consolidating the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth, I opened my Heavenly Eye to observe the depths of the Nirvana Forbidden Land and saw something different.”
"Oh? Tell me about it."
“Deep within the forbidden land of Nirvana, there is karma,” Nezha said in a slightly heavy tone. “It is not personal karma, but the karma of the world. I see… countless broken threads of cause and effect, intertwined into a sea of blood. The owner of that sigh probably bears the weight of the entire War of the Gods’ fall.”
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
The world's karma? The fall of the gods in the war?
He suddenly recalled the scenes he had seen in the chaotic land of the battlefield of the gods, the war of the gods as told by Fang Xinyi, and the old Taoist's ten-year promise to "restore the divine realm".
Forbidden Land of Nirvana... Nirvana... Rebirth from Nirvana?
