Chapter 42: Forcing Entry into the Ancient Forbidden Ground, Merely a Bit of Wind and Frost
Facing Master Yuhua, Left Emperor nodded and said.
“If you could live for another thousand years or so, perhaps we could have a decisive battle.”
“Unfortunately, you won’t be able to live that long.”
“Oh, by the way, what does the large hand in this painting represent? You’ve studied the Bronze Ancient Palace for so long, you should know something about it, right?”
“Hahaha!”
“I thought you’d know, did you think I would tell you?”
“Even if I told you, would you believe me?”
“Yes, you’re right, I really wouldn’t believe your words.”
“Whoosh!”
A beam of light flew out from Left Emperor’s hand, and a tiny bl**d hole appeared on Master Yuhua’s forehead.
As Master Yuhua fell, the massive Bronze Ancient Palace sank again.
Seeing this, Left Emperor instantly acted, using his supreme spiritual power to stop the sinking of the Bronze Ancient Palace.
Chen Changsheng took advantage of this moment to quickly retrieve Master Yuhua’s body.
“Boom!”
The Bronze Ancient Palace fell, completely suppressing the bl**d pool imbued with the force of the Unlucky.
“Sigh~”
Left Emperor exhaled deeply, restoring his breath.
Stopping the Bronze Ancient Palace like this was extremely exhausting even for Left Emperor.
Placing the body into a prepared coffin, Chen Changsheng spoke, “Your Majesty, any gains?”
“There indeed are some. Each Bronze Ancient Palace should contain a teleportation array, and these arrays seem to have some form of connection.”
“As for what exactly this connection is, I’m not quite clear, because the teleportation array here has been destroyed.”
“Now, we can only hope that the Bronze Ancient Palace in the Limitless Secret Realm still works.”
“If that teleportation array is still functional, there’s a chance we might actually enter the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
Speaking of which, a glimmer of excitement flashed in Left Emperor’s eyes.
Originally, he had thought the Bronze Ancient Palaces could only provide a slight help, but who would have thought their role would be so significant.
This way, his chances of safely entering the Ancient Forbidden Ground increased by at least two-fold.
“Oh, this should be your thing, I’ll return it to you.”
“Boom!”
A stone coffin was thrown in front of Chen Changsheng.
This stone coffin was the key treasure that helped Chen Changsheng escape fifty years ago.
Regaining his lost belongings, Chen Changsheng was naturally delighted.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Chen Changsheng put away the stone coffin and then casually asked.
“Immortal Defeated was a figure from two thousand years ago, Your Majesty, have you heard of his name?”
“Yes, I heard about him when I was ten years old.”
“Only back then, he was already a figure from two thousand years ago.”
“The characters on this coffin are from a dynasty from two thousand years ago, and they were already extinct for some time since I started remembering things.”
“I could understand them because the dynasty had not been gone for too long at that time.”
Chen Changsheng: ?????
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s face was full of question marks.
He originally thought Immortal Defeated was a figure from two thousand years ago, but he never imagined that Left Emperor had heard about him when he was young.
Moreover, at that time, the stories about Immortal Defeated had already circulated for over two thousand years.
If calculated this way, wasn’t Immortal Defeated a figure from four thousand years ago?
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng spoke.
“Your Majesty, if Immortal Defeated existed four thousand years ago, how strong was he?”
“I don’t know. To suppress this Unlucky force and Master Yuhua with just a shadow, such ability is beyond my reach.”

Half a month passed in an instant.
With the concerted efforts of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the Bronze Ancient Palace in the Limitless Secret Realm was forcibly excavated.
Standing on the deck, Chen Changsheng looked at the land of the Great Qian Dynasty and felt a bit sentimental.
He had stayed on this land for nearly two hundred years.
Two hundred years ago, he never imagined he would leave the Great Qian Dynasty or have any interactions with the various powerful figures in the cultivation world.
Back then, all he wanted was to live quietly and do interesting things.
But various events pushed him to where he was now, as if by some invisible hand.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng looked at his own hands and muttered to himself.
“To make someone who least wants to cultivate reach the Nascent Soul stage, truly life is unpredictable.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng’s face once again wore a smile, then he turned and returned to the cabin.
The journey had ended, no matter how tumultuous or heart-stopping it was, it was over.
Living people must always look forward.
—
“Roar~”
Nine monster beasts comparable to small mountains roared.
Facing these monsters equivalent to the Transformation stage, all living beings trembled in fear.
What was even more absurd was that such powerful monsters were used merely to pull a cart.
Sitting on the cart was none other than the Xuanwu Emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
“Thud thud thud!”
The sound of war drums echoed, and the million-strong army of the Xuanwu Kingdom stood quietly in place.
Although the number reached millions, there was not a single noisy sound at the scene.
“Gulp!”
Chen Changsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Your Majesty, forcing entry into the Ancient Forbidden Ground is not something I am particularly good at.”
“Maybe we should wait a bit before entering?”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s timid appearance, the corners of Left Emperor’s lips curled up slightly.
“You can’t see inside the Ancient Forbidden Ground unless you go in. It’s logical, but I’m not good at fighting!”
“If I follow Your Majesty, I will become a burden.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s repeated reluctance, Left Emperor didn’t get angry but patiently explained.
“There’s only one chance to forcefully enter the Ancient Forbidden Ground. If you’re not with me, you probably won’t have the opportunity.”
“Also, the repair work of the Bronze Ancient Palace is under your supervision. If you don’t stay with me, do you think I’ll feel at ease?”
Hearing Left Emperor’s words, the corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth twitched.
Niansheng disappeared in the teleportation array of the Bronze Ancient Palace. He originally wanted to study the connections between the arrays, but he had no other intentions.
Feeling a bit sentimental, Chen Changsheng resignedly looked ahead at the Ancient Forbidden Ground.
Even if Left Emperor gave up the idea of reversing his life, Chen Changsheng would find a way to enter the Ancient Forbidden Ground himself.
Otherwise, he would have long left, instead of foolishly staying in the Xuanwu Kingdom.
