Chapter 1911: Chapter 1909: For My Brothers, I Would Die a Thousand Times Without Regret
Barbaric Forbidden Land!
These four words, Ye Tianchen was hearing for the first time, but what surprised him was that such a place actually existed on Earth, and the most crucial thing was that it seemed to be a far more terrifying place than Sun Never Sets Mountain, Flame Valley, or Buzhou Mountain!
Ye Tianchen heard of the "Barbaric Forbidden Land" for the first time, which wasn’t strange. Not to mention him, even among the young martial artists in the three major Ancient Martial worlds, few had heard of such a place, because it truly is a demonic land that no one dares to trespass!
From the mouths of Hu Gao and Tianshuang’er, the Barbaric Forbidden Land was indeed a terrifying place, unlike Sun Never Sets Mountain, Flame Valley, or Buzhou Mountain. These three forbidden lands were widely known in the Ancient Martial World, and legends spoke of powerful Demon Beasts and even Ancient Alien Races lurking within, but few had witnessed them. However, in a place like the Barbaric Forbidden Land, people had indeed seen powerful Demon Beasts flying and escaping at its borders, scenes that were incomparable to other forbidden lands!
Upon hearing Hu Gao and Tianshuang’er’s words, Ye Tianchen’s first reaction was that he must make a trip to the Barbaric Forbidden Land. Not for anything else, but to save his brother Tian Boguang’s life. He couldn’t just sit by and watch his good friend and brother die like that. It was something Ye Tianchen absolutely could not do, and he would go on this adventure no matter what.
"Boss, this is really too dangerous; it’s not a joke. And the Ten Thousand Year Old Ginseng might only have possibly entered there. I think it might have already come out!" Hu Gao tried to persuade Ye Tianchen.
"No, the Ten Thousand Year Old Ginseng, once entered, won’t come out, because it has already become spiritual, developing strong Spiritual Wisdom. It knows that the Magic Laws of this world are changing, that Earth, after being closed off for so many years, will once again be exposed to the sight of the Martial Arts World. By then, powerful beings from beyond might arrive, and as a ginseng close to transforming into a true life-extending Immortal Elixir, it would be in danger anywhere, except for hiding in the most dangerous place!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"But... even Brother Feng Qingyang’s senior brother died inside there, this..." Tianshuang’er said worriedly.
Indeed, Ye Tianchen understood this, although he was considered a cultivation genius, able to reach the Mid-stage Martial Saint level and temper his body beyond his cultivation realm in such a short time. He cultivated the "Yijin Jing," regarded as the top Cultivation Immortal Scripture in the Martial Arts World, and had deep blessings, obtaining five out of the ten Ancient Divine Swords, the Supreme Treasure "Holy Heaven Prison," and the God-beating Whip. Yet Ye Tianchen was powerful, his cultivation realm was still at the Mid-stage Martial Saint; the distance to the Saint Realm was substantial. Brother Feng Qingyang’s senior had reached Half-step Saint Realm, and that level of cultivation and power was unimaginable once it touched upon the word "Saint." But even such a strong person had never returned alive from the Barbaric Forbidden Land. No matter how strong Ye Tianchen was, he couldn’t be stronger than a Saint, right?
"I know, I don’t think I’m stronger than Brother Feng Qingyang’s senior, but I believe that some things on me can protect me to come out safely!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"This... is too dangerous Tianchen!" Dongfang Meng said, her brow furrowed.
"Don’t worry, we’ve overcome so many dangers and difficulties, and we’ll surely get through this one too!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"Tianchen, I don’t know what kind of place that is, I just want you to be safe!" Liu Rumei looked at Ye Tianchen and said.
"It’s okay, you just wait here for me, they are all my best friends, and this place is my home too!" Ye Tianchen nodded to Liu Rumei.
Ye Tianchen had made up his mind, and there would be no change. Everyone there who knew Ye Tianchen’s personality knew that once he made a decision, he wouldn’t change it. They also knew that Tian Boguang and Ye Tianchen were like sworn brothers, almost like blood siblings. Now, seeing Tian Boguang about to die, how could Ye Tianchen remain indifferent? Not to mention the Barbaric Forbidden Land; even if it was certain death, Ye Tianchen would fight his way through, this was his loyalty to friends and family!
"Alright, time is of the essence, I’m setting off now!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to everyone.
"This... Big Brother, I’ll go with you!" Hu Gao said.
"Yes, we’ll go with you!" Dongfang Meng nodded.
Ye Tianchen smiled slightly, truly touched, because these friends were also his comrades. In the Martial Arts World, where the weak are prey to the strong, and it’s bloody beyond measure, people betrayed friends, slaughtered families, and had no emotions. Such occurrences were common. Ye Tianchen was grateful to have so many friends and confidantes; however, he couldn’t let Dongfang Meng and others follow him into danger.
One could imagine that a place with powerful Demon Beasts and perhaps lurking Ancient Alien Races was not just a jokingly dangerous place; it’s sheer deadliness was known to all. Even a Half-step Saint Realm expert didn’t come out alive, indicating the place’s terribleness far exceeded other forbidden zones!
"You all shouldn’t follow me. Desolate Stone Village’s crisis is not yet resolved, you must be extremely cautious. The inheritance from the Nine Netherworld has announced its emergence; there can’t just be a few people there. After I killed all the people from the Nine Netherworld, they will surely find out soon and come for revenge. The ordinary men and women of Desolate Stone Village need your protection!" Ye Tianchen seriously looked at the others and said.
"But..." Dongfang Meng wanted to speak but was interrupted by Ye Tianchen.
"Alright, time is precious. Given Brother Tian’s current state, he can only last three more days at most. When I leave, I’ll gather some medicine power from the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass to hopefully extend Brother Tian’s life by a few days more. As for you all, heal your injuries well and strive to recover to a Peak state quickly; the Nine Netherworld’s people will soon attack again!" Ye Tianchen said, showing some anxiety.
From the afternoon, Ye Tianchen was sitting cross-legged beside the Green Cauldron, constantly urging the Martial Arts True Power within him. In front of him floated a grass-like plant called "Jade Ring Grass," which Ye Tianchen had obtained earlier. Wrapped around this Jade Ring Grass was a wisp of True Dragon Aura, causing the Jade Ring Grass to undergo qualitative transformations; if cultivated properly, it might become a life-extending Immortal Elixir. Ye Tianchen had always planted this Jade Ring Grass in the Seven-colored Divine Soil.
The Seven-colored Divine Soil was something Ye Tianchen inadvertently brought back when he ventured into Sun Never Sets Mountain. Legend has it that it specifically cultivates life-extending Immortal Elixirs. Ye Tianchen believed it would be of great use to him in the future, keeping it in his Storage Bag with the God Beating Bowl and Little Zhu Yan, the two mischievous beings, along with a Healing Grass and the Jade Ring Grass. Then, Hu Xiaoqi’s grandfather had gifted him an unnamed small herb, all planted in the Seven-colored Divine Soil!
This time, in order to save Tian Boguang, Ye Tianchen brought out the Jade Ring Grass, wrapped in True Dragon Aura, because the Healing Grass and the unnamed small herb seemed to be in poor condition. Ye Tianchen feared that forcibly extracting a trace of Spiritual Medicine aura from them would kill these Divine Herbs, which would indeed be counterproductive!
"I just need a tiny bit of your Spiritual Medicine aura, hopefully to extend Brother Tian’s life!" Ye Tianchen looked at the Jade Ring Grass floating in front of him and gently prompted a force onto the Jade Ring Grass.
Buzz!
The Jade Ring Grass trembled, the True Dragon Aura coiling around it seemed to sense Ye Tianchen’s power, slowly winding around the Jade Ring Grass, motionless, as if tightly wrapped around it, causing Ye Tianchen’s surprise. Under such circumstances, how could he force out the Jade Ring Grass’s Spiritual Medicine aura?
"Little one, don’t resist, I only need a tiny bit of Spiritual Medicine aura, you’ll be back in the Seven-colored Divine Soil shortly, trust me!" Ye Tianchen muttered to himself while channeling a more powerful force, gently injecting it into the Jade Ring Grass!
Buzz!
The Jade Ring Grass trembled again, perhaps understanding Ye Tianchen’s words, or perhaps because of Ye Tianchen’s powerful force, it could not resist. Slowly a crystalline drop of water gathered over the Jade Ring Grass, floating out, causing Ye Tianchen to gasp in surprise. He sensed a potent medicinal power; this crystalline water droplet was likely the medicinal essence of the Jade Ring Grass, presented in this form!
"Come on, you can return to the Seven-colored Divine Soil now!" Ye Tianchen smiled slightly, retracting the Jade Ring Grass back into the Seven-colored Divine Soil, where it would be planted, absorbing the Divine Power from the Seven-colored Divine Soil.
After the Jade Ring Grass returned to the Seven-colored Divine Soil, Ye Tianchen controlled the crystalline droplet, slowly merging it into the Green Cauldron. Once the droplet merged into the Green Cauldron, the cauldron vibrated, and the ordinary medicinal concoction inside, containing some basic Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, began to shine. Witnessing this scene left Ye Tianchen utterly amazed; it seemed that the Jade Ring Grass indeed had the potential to transform into a life-extending Immortal Elixir! (To be continued.
