Only the very strong and extremely disciplined have ever made it to the top of the cultivation realm.
And Yes, with high level of cultivation, long life becomes a reality.
However, the problem with standing out is that one now carries a big target on their backs.
it is said that if one were to cultivate well, the possibility of reaching the stage of the gods was even possible.
But for man to shed his earthly form and ascend to such a level, he must go through the test of the heavens several times in his cultivation.
Failing the final of those tests is the reason for the Cardinal Forbidden zone.
After all, the final test carries both the anger and acceptance of the Holy Dao.
Cardinal Forbidden zones are those places that peak cultivators unable to advance in their final tribulation fell.
Chiron knew about the Cardinal Forbidden zones and he could guess what Old Red was tell him to do.
"Cardinal Forbidden zones always carry reminant blessings. This could help you." Old Red added.
However,Chiron chuckled a bit, "You forgot that there also carry reminant anger from both heaven and the fallen cultivator, which tips the probability scale of coming out alive. Not to talk of even coming out blessed. "
"So you know about them!"
"I have heard stories, yes" Chiron nodded, "there is a reason they are called the Forbidden zones."
Chiron kept silent for a while. As much as he did not want to, he knew that a cardinal forbidden zone was his best bet.
There might be more, but it was both the quickest and surest method to both get back his hands and get rid of this curse once and for all.
Even for the MC of the book, magic users were always very troublesome.
They had a source of power that the rest of the world just couldn't understand and this made dealing with them a constant headache.
Thinking this far, Chiron made a mental note to make some safe guards against magic users. After all, he could tell that his fight with Sheyi was still far from an end.
"if I remember correctly, you happen to have some magic plants in your arsenal, right!?" Chiron asked.
"Yes I do, but those alcan barely be considered magic plants. These are just the ones that we can barely understand their basic functions. I won't advice you to tamper with them. It takes hundreds of years to be able to understand how to mix and use them."
Chiron gave a cocky smile, "trust me, I know."
Chiron decided to shelf the Cardinal Forbidden zone idea behind his mind for the time being.
"Okay, open up, I'm going in"
The Dragon opened it's mouth and Chiron walked inside, into the garden.
The moment he got in, the Dragon shut it's mouth.
"I did as you asked," Old Red muttered lowly.
As he did, smoke seemed to sip out of the earth below.
It gathered together and formed into the face of an obviously beautiful girl.
Of Chiron was still here, he would have recognized her at first sight. After all, she was the same person that had caused the Avalanche that time when he had first met the people from the Holy church that wanted to take his life.
Back then, Kevin had called this smoke an Evil spirit.
"I know, I was here the entire time," the girl responded. "Now make sure you treat him well, mother will be very made if harm comes to him."
"Harm!? You made me send him to a cardinal forbidden zone as his only solution."
"Yes, sooner or later, he is bound to go into one. We are just quicking the process."
"And what if he dies? That means that the red blood fire dragon will also die. This is something I cannot allow."
"Good! Then I suggest you release the second layer to him."
"No, that layer of plants and herbs is for the red blood fire dragon. When he breaks out of Chiron's will, I shall gift him."
"Haha!" The girl in the smoke giggled lowly, don't worry, Chiron will not die, at least not anytime soon."
She giggled someore as she evaporated away.
Old Dragon sighed lowly. Of course they were a few other ways, but he couldn't tell Chiron because of the instruction from the girl in the smoke.
Even when all the souls that made him up were alive, they could not come close to the strength that this girl possessed.
Chiron had only threatened to release heavenly tribulation on him.
However, this girl was strong enough to capture him and even torture him as a spirit.
Old Red looked inside the garden to observe Chiron's movements. However, what he saw left him speechless.
He has thought that Chiron had only come to harvest a few plants and herbs that he needed.
However, as it stood, Chiron had already harvested an an entire sector.
The herbs in the garden were divided into sectors.
With each sector carrying a different atmosphere specific to the energy.
At the moment, Chiron had cleared the entire sector for Aura plants.
"How is he even doing it?" Old Red thought aloud.
After all, Chiron did not have hands and old Red did not remember sensing any spacial material on his body.
The last time Chiron had come to this place, he had been instructed to take just one plant, and he had not been strong enough to disobey.
Back then, he even copied a plant with the system.
However, copying plants was too expensive on points. At the moment, he was really lacking in that department.
But who ever said that he needed to copy. He could simply just loot the area clean, and that was what he was doing.
As he passed around the different sectors of the garden, the plants went into his storage.
Chiron was not so generous as to leave anything behind. He looted the place clean.
All the while, old Red stared in shock.
By the time Chiron left, Old Red was gals that he did not open the second layer.
Chiron activated the special technique he had used.
*Teleport*
However, the moment he got back into his tent, he got an alert from the system.
