129: The actions of the immortal family

The forces from the Longevity Jiang Family and the Longevity Xiao Family arrived at the dim and deathly silent boundary of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone almost simultaneously.

Gazing at the heart-palpitating world ahead, even the experts at the Peak of the Saint King Realm wore solemn expressions.

"The Law here is chaotic, and Divine Thought is suppressed extremely strongly. Everyone be careful, do not scatter." The white-haired and white-bearded Elder of the Jiang Family commanded in a deep voice. He offered up an Eight-Trigram Mirror, which dripped strands of purple Qi to protect himself and the other two Elders, and stepped into the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone first.

The two Dragon-blooded warriors of the Xiao Family were more direct. With a low roar, their blood Qi boiled, manifesting faint Dragon-shaped phantoms that circled them. Relying on their formidable Physical Body to withstand the invisible pressure of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, they strode inside with great strides.

However, the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone did not earn its reputation as a forbidden land of death for nothing.

The three from the Jiang Family had not traveled even a hundred miles when the seemingly solid red earth beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, turning into a quicksand vortex that devoured everything. A strange suction force coiled upward, actually capable of eroding their protective Divine Light!

"Not good! It is the 'Yuan-Eroding Sand' of an Ancient Remnant Species! Retreat quickly!" The Elder's expression changed. The Eight-Trigram Mirror erupted with brilliant light, forcibly stabilizing a patch of the Void Realm. The three barely managed to break free, but the corner of an Elder's robe became stained with a small amount of grit, instantly losing all spirituality and turning into ordinary cloth.

On the other side, the two Xiao Family warriors encountered an even more direct attack.

Several gray shadows, emerging silently from the Void Realm and carrying a cold, deathly aura, lunged at them. These shadows ignored physical defenses and attacked the Divine Soul directly!

"Roar!" One warrior bellowed, his Dragon roar shaking the heavens. His scorching blood Qi was like a furnace, forcibly shattering one gray shadow, but another shadow pierced through his Dragon-shaped blood Qi, leaving a deep, bone-exposing wound on his arm from which no blood flowed. The wound was permeated with thick Death Qi, causing his face to turn pale.

"It is an 'Ancient Desolate Resentful Spirit'! It specifically devours vitality! Use Dragon flames to burn it!" The other person hurriedly warned, spitting out scorching Dragon breath, only then forcing the Resentful Spirit back.

The people from the two great Families found every step difficult; they had to pay a price for every step forward, and their speed was severely delayed.

They could only rely on the sporadic records of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone in their Family's ancient books and their own powerful cultivation to advance cautiously. Under heavy suppression, their Divine Thought could only probe a very small range, searching for the source of that fleeting Flying Immortal Body Dao Rhyme.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingyi had been brought by Jiang Li to the true core of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.

This place was completely different from the deathly silence of the outside. It was a pure land surrounded by the flow of Chaos Qi, with a white jade Immortal pool at its center. The pool water was suffused with rich Immortal Qi and life essence.

Floating above the Immortal pool was a mass of energy that pulsated as if it were alive, flowing with myriad rays of rosy light—it was precisely a portion of the purest Flying Immortal Body Origin that Jiang Li had left behind years ago!

"Senior, where is this?" Lin Qingyi felt the call of the same Origin from that mass of Origin, and the Flying Immortal Body within her body accelerated its circulation uncontrollably.

Jiang Li looked at that mass of Origin, her eyes complex, carrying a trace of reminiscence, but she quickly returned to clarity: "This is a contingency I left behind years ago to deal with unexpected events. Now that I have awakened, this item is merely icing on the cake for me. But you are different."

She looked at Lin Qingyi, her gaze as sharp as a knife, as if she could see through her Soul: "Your Flying Immortal Body has great potential, but your accumulation is still shallow, and your Foundation is not yet solid. Absorbing it can compensate for your Innate deficiencies, establish a supreme Dao Foundation, and only then will you have hope in the future to surpass my achievements."

Lin Qingyi's heart shook violently. Surpass the first-generation Flying Immortal Body? This was a Realm she had never dared to imagine.

"Sit cross-legged in the Immortal pool, focus your mind and calm your Qi. I will help you refine it." Jiang Li's tone was unquestionable, carrying the majesty of an ancient expert.

Lin Qingyi followed her instructions and stepped into the Immortal pool. The warm and moist pool water wrapped around her, and pure energy autonomously seeped into her limbs and bones.

Jiang Li extended her slender finger and pointed at the mass of Flying Immortal Origin in the air. The Origin, like a fledgling bird returning to its nest, transformed into a torrent of brilliant Immortal light, slowly injecting into the top of Lin Qingyi's head.

"Argh—!" Energy, vast and unimaginable, surged in instantly. Lin Qingyi felt as if her body and Soul were about to be blown apart! The intense pain made her unable to help but moan, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of her body, with Immortal light overflowing from within.

"Guard your mind! Circulate your Cultivation Technique, guide the Origin, and reshape your Physical Body!" Jiang Li's cool, clear voice was like a sudden awakening. At the same time, she pressed a palm against Lin Qingyi's back, and a more pure, ancient Flying Immortal power, carrying supreme mystery, surged in to help her organize and suppress the violent Origin energy.

The Immortal pool boiled, and Chaos Qi swirled around. Lin Qingyi's body continuously cycled between destruction and rebirth. Her bones emitted thunderous explosions, her blood was dyed a faint gold, and her skin became lustrous like jade, emitting an increasingly pure Flying Immortal Dao Rhyme.

Her cultivation was also climbing at a terrifying speed, instantly breaking through the barrier of the Nirvana Realm and heading straight for the Xiaoyao Realm!

Han Xin remained sitting cross-legged on the cliff, like a statue that had existed since time immemorial. His Divine Thought was like the most precise radar, scanning the outer perimeter of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.

He could "see" the people from the Jiang Family and the Xiao Family trekking through it with difficulty, surrounded by danger, their speed as slow as a crawling turtle. He could also vaguely sense that at the core of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, a powerful Flying Immortal aura was helping another relatively weaker, same-Origin aura undergo some kind of transformation, with violent energy fluctuations.

"Flying Immortal Body Origin Legacy... this is indeed the good fortune of this young girl." Han Xin understood in his heart. As long as Lin Qingyi was not in danger of losing her life, he did not need to intervene.

As for the people from those two great Families, they had great difficulty even finding the core area, let alone posing a threat. He could even perceive that in some more dangerous forbidden lands within the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, there were obscure auras sleeping that even he had to slightly take note of. If the people from the Jiang Family and the Xiao Family accidentally touched them, they would likely be annihilated in an instant.

"May you be blessed with your own good fortune." Han Xin closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to those intruders, only keeping a thread of Divine Thought firmly tied to Lin Qingyi to ensure her safety. His mission was to protect the members of the Lin Clan; as for the dangers of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone itself and the life or death of other forces, it had nothing to do with him.
