Chapter 44: Severing All Threads, Chen Changsheng Trapped in the Ancient Forbidden Ground
After dealing with the troublesome bronze armor, the Left Emperor swung his sword again, breaking through the ancient patterns of the Ancient Forbidden Ground with unparalleled sword qi.
“Whoosh!”
The supreme and invincible array pattern instantly became as fragile as tofu before the True Martial Sword.
Seeing this battle situation, Chen Changsheng hiding in the corner of the war chariot couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
But before Chen Changsheng could be happy for long, another cold hum came from within the black mountain range.
“Hmm!”
With the sound of the cold hum, a slender hair floated over with the wind.
“Ding!”
A very crisp sound of breaking echoed, the Xuanwu Kingdom’s legacy treasure, a divine weapon capable of severing invincible array patterns, was easily divided by a single strand of hair.
The True Martial Sword, the Left Emperor’s body, and the Xuanwu Kingdom’s ten thousand-strong army were all divided in one stroke.
It seemed that the hair floating out of the black mountain range was the true divine weapon.
Though half his body was cut away, the Left Emperor still wildly roared with his upper body.
“Zing!”
A huge Bronze Ancient Palace appeared above the Left Emperor.
Taking out the Bronze Ancient Palace obtained from the Limitless Secret Realm, an indistinct response also came from within the black mountain range.
The array formation inside the Bronze Ancient Palace emitted dazzling light under the full exertion of the Left Emperor.
As the teleportation array formation was about to activate, another object flew out from the black mountain range.
To be precise, it was just a golden character.
“Dang!”
The golden character crashed onto the Bronze Ancient Palace, causing the palace to tremble and turning all the flesh on the Left Emperor into nothingness.
From then on, the Left Emperor completely perished, and the Bronze Ancient Palace disappeared into the air along with the activation of the array formation.
“Drip!”
bl**d dripped down from Zuo Xinghe’s face.
The scattered bronze armor reassembled, then looked at Zuo Xinghe with its empty face, before riding back into the black mountain range.
Everyone was dead.
The plan that exhausted the entire Xuanwu Kingdom ended in failure.
Zuo Xinghe could survive not because he was strong enough, but because the taboo within the Ancient Forbidden Ground wanted to leave a survivor.
They wanted Zuo Xinghe to return alive, and use his words to tell the world that the Ancient Forbidden Ground must not be violated.
…
Ancient Forbidden Ground.
“Boom!”
The Bronze Ancient Palace fell to the ground, and similarly, another similar Bronze Ancient Palace stood not far away.
These two Bronze Ancient Palaces casually rested within the black mountain range, while the bones of the Left Emperor lay scattered like trash.
With the d*ath of the Left Emperor and the fall of the Bronze Ancient Palace into the black mountain range, the Ancient Forbidden Ground returned to its peaceful state once more.
Time flowed slowly, and all things in heaven and earth were changing, except for the Ancient Forbidden Ground, which remained unchanged forever.
However, after three months, the silent Ancient Forbidden Ground showed signs of movement.
The sound of a stone slab rubbing lightly echoed as a coffin half-buried in the soil began to move.
The coffin opened a small gap, revealing a pair of eyes cautiously observing the surroundings.
Indeed, the owner of these eyes was Chen Changsheng.
When that strand of hair appeared, Chen Changsheng immediately realized something was amiss.
Facing such an unimaginable great terror, Chen Changsheng made a very “natural” move.
That was to hide inside the coffin left behind by the fallen Immortal Venerable, and then take a specially made dan pill to make himself appear dead.
After confirming there was no danger outside, Chen Changsheng carefully emerged from the coffin.
“Oh my!”
“Is this the terror of the Ancient Forbidden Ground?”
“This world is truly too dangerous.”
Although three months had passed since the incident, the scene from three months ago still made Chen Changsheng feel uneasy.
After expressing his feelings, Chen Changsheng began to curiously observe his surroundings.

Traditional Simplified
Chen Changsheng did not know if feigning d*ath could deceive the Ancient Forbidden Ground, but he knew he was still alive.
Since he was still alive, it proved that the Ancient Forbidden Ground would not k*ll him for now.
There were many reasons why he survived. It might be because the Ancient Forbidden Ground spared him out of respect for the fallen Immortal Venerable.
Or perhaps the Ancient Forbidden Ground found him too weak to bother killing him.
In the eyes of those great terrors, Chen Changsheng’s current cultivation level was probably no better than air.
Such a weak existence, even if they luckily entered the Ancient Forbidden Ground, would d*e soon, so they didn’t bother.
After observing for a whole hour, Chen Changsheng still did not find any danger in the Ancient Forbidden Ground.
Unable to sense danger, Chen Changsheng felt even more uneasy.
Because in the Ancient Forbidden Ground, the absence of danger itself was the greatest danger.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng searched his body, finally pulling out a thread from the corner of his clothes.
“Huff~”
Chen Changsheng gently blew, and the thread, as light as a feather, left his palm and flew into the distance.
“Whoosh!”
The ordinary thread vanished, and a golden glow flashed on the ground in an instant.
Though the time was short, Chen Changsheng still managed to see clearly.
Chen Changsheng: “…”
“What is this?!”
Seeing the golden glow, Chen Changsheng grew restless.
Chen Changsheng had seen the invincible array patterns outside the black mountain range, and he was certain he couldn’t break them.
Moreover, the ones outside were only silver array patterns, while those inside the black mountain range were golden.
Although he wasn’t quite sure how powerful these supreme array patterns were, Chen Changsheng was certain that the golden array patterns were much more formidable than the silver ones.
Realizing he was trapped by the supreme array patterns, Chen Changsheng unwillingly explored other directions.
However, the result was that Chen Changsheng was surrounded on all sides by golden array patterns.
Chen Changsheng was able to remain unharmed not because he was lucky enough to encounter gaps in these array patterns.
Rather, it was because the golden array pattern beneath his feet was suppressed by the Bronze Ancient Palace.
If not, Chen Changsheng would have turned into nothingness the moment he left the coffin.
“What should I do? Will I be trapped here forever?”
In desperation, Chen Changsheng began seeking solutions from someone called Zhu Tong.
“Why does the host think they will be trapped here forever?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Because these array patterns are too powerful!”
“Then why doesn’t the host try to comprehend these array patterns? Studying formations has always been your hobby.”
“But these array patterns are too complex. Even if I spend another thousand years, I won’t be able to comprehend them!”
“What about ten thousand years?”
“Does time matter to the host?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was instantly stunned.
Yes!
Time held no meaning for him. If he couldn’t comprehend it in a thousand years, then ten thousand years!
With his current cultivation, while he wouldn’t claim to be particularly powerful, surviving without food was entirely feasible.
He had always been searching for a quiet place free from worldly strife.
Can there be any place quieter or more isolated than the Ancient Forbidden Ground?
As long as the great terrors within the Ancient Forbidden Ground don’t come looking for trouble with this “little bug” of his,
then he would live a carefree life indeed.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng happily said:
“Thank you, Zhu Tong, for reminding me. Being around others for too long, I almost forgot my own circumstances.”
With that, Chen Changsheng happily walked toward the nearby Bronze Ancient Palace.
Zuo Xinghe had copied all the books from the Xuanwu Pavilion for him, and Chen Changsheng had long wanted to read them thoroughly.
As for comprehending the golden array patterns…
Let’s wait a few decades first. The array patterns aren’t going anywhere.
