Chapter 229: Four Supreme Laws Gathered In One Body! Ji Qing Enters Restricted Area, Thirteen Lineage Masters Dumbfounded!
Ji Qing never acted impulsively.
Although he could now defeat Old Ancestor Changfeng, a Saint Venerable, with just one Supreme Law, if his physical body, grotto-heaven small realm, and so on were also considered.
His strength would likely be even greater.
Comparable to a Second, Third, or even Fourth Tribulation Saint Venerable?
Ji Qing was unsure.
But he absolutely wouldn’t think that going to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone would guarantee his safety.
He needed to be fully prepared.
He would first improve his strength to its limit.
Ji Qing immediately went to the Reincarnation Lineage. That one Supreme Law was the Law of Death.
Among Ji Qing’s four divine abilities, which one was suitable for carrying the Law of Death?
Ji Qing thought about it; it should still be the Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power.
Or, the Sky Burning Purple Flame Supernatural Power could also work.
However, the Dharma Aspect of the Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power was the Myriad Fusion Meridian, which already carried one Destruction Law, also a Supreme Law.
But the crucial point was that Ji Qing had a feeling.
His Myriad Fusion Meridian Dharma Aspect seemed to not have reached its limit yet.
It seemed he could still try to carry a second Supreme Law.
Ji Qing had asked before; the reason other cultivators didn’t carry two laws was because they felt their Dharma Aspect had reached its limit and couldn’t carry more.
But Ji Qing’s Myriad Fusion Meridian hadn’t reached its limit.
He could give it a try!
Ji Qing had confidence in his Myriad Fusion Meridian.
Carrying another Supreme Law would be no problem!
Thus, Ji Qing began to draw down a portion of Law Power of Death in the Land of Laws of the Reincarnation Lineage.
“Boom.”
The first portion of Law Power of Death was drawn into Ji Qing’s Myriad Fusion Meridian.
Many Great Experts were observing this time as well.
They all felt that Ji Qing carrying the Law of Death would definitely be fine.
However, when Ji Qing drew the Law of Death into the Myriad Fusion Meridian, it still made these Great Experts widen their eyes, full of disbelief.
“Ji Qing… is still using the Myriad Fusion Meridian to carry the Law of Death?”
“Am I seeing this wrong? Ji Qing has four Dharma Aspects, why isn’t he using another Dharma Aspect to carry the Law of Death? This is a Supreme Law!”
“Can Ji Qing’s Myriad Fusion Meridian carry two Supreme Laws at once?”
Many Great Experts knew Ji Qing was very bold.
But they didn’t expect him to be so bold!
Directly using one Dharma Aspect to carry two Supreme Laws.
It was simply… madness!
After the first portion of Law Power of Death was drawn down, Ji Qing indeed felt an incomparable heaviness.
But his Myriad Fusion Meridian didn’t collapse.
This had already proven that his Myriad Fusion Meridian could indeed carry a second Supreme Law.
And this was not the end.
This was only one portion of Law Power of Death.
Ji Qing continued to draw down Law Power of Death.
Two portions, four portions, six portions, eight portions, ten portions…
This time, Ji Qing felt it had truly reached its limit.
If even one more portion of Law Power of Death was drawn down, his Myriad Fusion Meridian would not be able to withstand it and would shatter.
Thus, Ji Qing stopped.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
“Law of Death: Supreme Law （ Ten Portions of Law Power ）”
Ji Qing’s Myriad Fusion Meridian carried ten portions of Law Power of Death.
One portion less than the Law Power of Destruction.
Moreover, Ji Qing could clearly feel that he was already a Law Life, and now with another Law of Death, his life had been further sublimated.
It would be even more difficult to kill him.
Ji Qing had an epiphany and understood the true meaning of “Law Life.”
If he could carry more laws in the future, his “Law Life” would sublimate to an unimaginable extent.
It was even possible to become “invincible” in the end.
Theoretically, this Martial Way system truly had boundless prospects and a high ceiling!
After all, it could rival the Immortal Path.
If both ultimately cultivated into “Immortals,” how could it be bad?
Ji Qing walked out of the Land of Laws.
Old Ancestor Changfeng couldn’t help but ask, “Ji Qing, are you really alright?”
“Old Ancestor, I am fine.”
Ji Qing’s mind moved.
He directly released his Myriad Fusion Meridian.
Indeed, the Myriad Fusion Meridian had no issues.
Even more so, the Myriad Fusion Meridian, now carrying two Supreme Laws, had an almost inconceivable might.
Even Old Ancestor Changfeng felt a trace of palpitation.
“Truly a formidable successor… Ji Qing, are you going to the Jie Mie Lineage next?”
“Yes.”
Ji Qing then went to the Land of Laws of the Jie Mie Lineage.
He sensed that one Law of Life.
Ji Qing’s Myriad Fusion Meridian had reached its limit and could no longer carry a third Supreme Law.
He still had three Dharma Aspects and divine abilities left to carry the Law of Life.
Ji Qing had not yet decided which Dharma Aspect to use to carry the Law of Life.
After careful consideration, Ji Qing chose the Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body.
The Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body was a Dharma Aspect forged from the Eight Heavenly Dragons Supernatural Power.
The Eight Heavenly Dragons could be superimposed on the physical body, causing its power to surge.
Once it carried the Law of Life, the Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body would be simply indestructible, with astonishing vitality, and could also be superimposed on the physical body, causing its strength to surge.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing drew down the Law Power of Life.
One portion, three portions, five portions, eight portions, ten portions…
Ji Qing was somewhat surprised.
The compatibility between the Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body and the Law of Life was very high, and it actually carried eleven portions!
Similar to the Law of Destruction.
Now, Ji Qing possessed three Supreme Laws.
His strength was already far beyond that of Old Ancestor Changfeng.
Coupled with his physical body, grotto-heaven small realm, and the Ancestral God Bloodline.
Ji Qing’s strength was now unimaginably powerful.
“Ji Qing, with three Supreme Laws now gathered within you, your strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Saint Venerable. Are you preparing to go to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone now?”
Old Ancestor Changfeng asked.
No one was stopping Ji Qing from going to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone anymore.
They had been worried before.
But now, having personally witnessed Ji Qing carrying three Supreme Laws.
How could anyone still be worried?
The one who should be worried was probably the Nirvana Forbidden Zone…
The terrifying Nirvana Forbidden Zone was about to welcome the strongest Nirvana Realm Great Expert in the history of the Black Ruins!
“Go to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone now? No, not now.”
Ji Qing shook his head.
“Uh… not yet? Do you have any concerns?”
“Concerns… it’s probably that I haven’t fully prepared. I still have one more Supreme Law to carry.”
“Our Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory only has three Supreme Laws.”
“The Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect once promised the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory that they could give me one Supreme Law. Therefore, I must go to the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect.”
Old Ancestor Changfeng had just been awakened.
He really didn’t know about this.
When did the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect promise Ji Qing a Supreme Law?
To know that, it was the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect’s only Supreme Law.
At this moment, Tian Ji Zi hurriedly explained.
After listening to the explanation, Old Ancestor Changfeng understood.
It turned out it was the credit of those thirteen Lineage Masters.
Old Ancestor Changfeng’s expression became somewhat strange.
Having three Supreme Laws wasn’t enough, he still needed four?
However, this was Ji Qing’s decision.
Moreover, Ji Qing being so cautious and steady was a good thing.
“Alright, I will personally accompany you.”
Old Ancestor Changfeng then said.
Although Ji Qing was very strong, the Lineage Masters of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory were now all trapped in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
It was inevitable that the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect might have some ulterior motives.
Although Ji Qing was very strong, that was the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect after all.
There were still many old monsters.
With Old Ancestor Changfeng accompanying him, it would show the attitude of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, and the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect would not dare to renege on their promise.
“Then I shall trouble the Old Ancestor.”
Ji Qing had also naturally considered the benefits of Old Ancestor Changfeng accompanying him to the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect.
It could avoid many troubles.
“Alright, let’s set off now!”
Thus, Old Ancestor Changfeng and Ji Qing left the Purgatory Realm together and headed towards the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect.
Soon, the two arrived at the Heavenly Fire Realm.
The two did not rashly enter the Heavenly Fire Realm.
Old Ancestor Changfeng immediately unleashed his aura.
“Boom.”
The Saint Venerable aura, carrying Calamity Qi, erupted.
Although Ji Qing seemed to have defeated Old Ancestor Changfeng, a First Tribulation Saint Venerable, with one Supreme Law.
It seemed that a First Tribulation Saint Venerable was nothing special.
In reality, Saint Venerable was already a “foundation-level” figure among top powers.
Major powers in the Black Ruins could be considered ancestors.
Especially the “Saint Venerable” realm, which was very special.
Very few “Saint Venerables” moved about in the Black Ruins.
Now, when Old Ancestor Changfeng’s terrifying aura erupted, it instantly shook the entire Heavenly Fire Realm.
“Which Saint Venerable has personally arrived at my Heavenly Fire Realm?”
Figures flew out from within the Heavenly Fire Realm.
It was none other than the Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect.
Behind him were two Top Great Powers, and many Ordinary Great Powers.
Such a posture, as if facing a great enemy, showed the immense importance of a Saint Venerable!
When these Great Experts saw Ji Qing, their expressions all changed subtly.
Ji Qing.
He was truly a person who made the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect feel incredibly complicated.
The Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect’s decline to its current state was all thanks to Ji Qing.
“So it’s Saint Venerable Changfeng and Fellow Daoist Ji Qing. May I ask what brings you two here?”
The Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect asked.
“Does the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect still remember the promise made to my Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory? Ji Mou is here today to comprehend your sect’s Supreme Law.”
Ji Qing immediately said.
“Comprehend Supreme Law? Are you attempting to advance to the Nirvana Realm?”
The people of the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect couldn’t help but change their expressions drastically.
How long has it been?
Ji Qing is about to carry the Supreme Law and be promoted to Great Expert?
Too fast!
It’s truly too fast!
From Martial God to Divine Ability, Dharma Aspect, a slightly faster speed is understandable.
But from Dharma Aspect to Nirvana Realm is a qualitative transformation, which has stumped countless astonishing Heavenly Talents.
How can Ji Qing be so fast?
“No, you are not about to be promoted to Nirvana Realm, but have already carried the Law and become a Great Expert…”
The Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect stared intently at Ji Qing.
He sensed something was not right.
Upon careful sensing.
He immediately detected that Ji Qing’s current situation was not right.
Ji Qing has already become a Law Life.
That means Ji Qing is already a true Great Expert.
As for why Ji Qing has carried the Law and still needs the Supreme Law of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, he can also vaguely guess.
It’s nothing more than Ji Qing having four Divine Abilities and Dharma Aspects, theoretically he can carry four Laws.
How could Ji Qing give up the Supreme Law of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect?
“What, is Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect trying to go back on its word?”
Ji Qing said indifferently.
Although his words did not directly admit it, they implicitly confirmed the Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect’s statement.
Ji Qing has truly become a Great Expert!
Back then, before Ji Qing became a true Great Expert, he could already kill ten Top Great Powers and dozens of Ordinary Great Powers.
Then, with Ji Qing now carrying the Law, how earth-shattering would his strength be?
Everyone no longer dared to imagine.
The Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect glanced at Ji Qing and Changfeng Old Ancestor, then took a deep breath and said solemnly, “The promise of my Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect naturally still holds. However, I must trouble Sacred Venerable Changfeng to wait outside the Heavenly Fire Realm. Fellow Daoist Ji, please come with me.”
Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect could not allow Sacred Venerable Changfeng to enter the Heavenly Fire Realm.
Ji Qing glanced at Changfeng Old Ancestor.
Changfeng Old Ancestor transmitted, “Ji Qing, you can enter the Heavenly Fire Realm with peace of mind. The Heavenly Fire Realm would not dare to do anything to you.”
Ji Qing immediately flew towards the Heavenly Fire Realm.
“Buzz.”
Ji Qing stepped into the Heavenly Fire Realm.
Many Great Experts watched Ji Qing with complex expressions, but none of them spoke a word.
The Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect brought Ji Qing to the Land of Laws.
It was a valley.
But the valley was filled with fiercely burning flames.
The flames kept burning, seemingly without end.
Ji Qing could naturally see many Laws within the valley.
Without exception, they were all Fire Attribute Laws.
And among all the Fire Attribute Laws, one Law stood high above, like an emperor among flames.
That was the Supreme Law of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, the Heavenly Fire Law!
“Ji Qing, the Supreme Law is here. Whether you can carry it is your business.”
After speaking, the Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect turned and left.
The surroundings also became quiet.
Ji Qing knew that Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect did not have a good impression of him.
He naturally did not mind.
“Heavenly Fire Law… it belongs to Fire Attribute Law, and should have innate compatibility with Sky Burning Purple Flame!”
Ji Qing immediately unleashed the “Blood Fiend Nether Sea” Dharma Aspect.
Then, he invoked the “Heavenly Fire Law.”
“Boom.”
The Heavenly Fire Law immediately descended a portion of its Law Power, fell into the “Blood Fiend Nether Sea,” and quickly merged with Ji Qing’s Sky Burning Purple Flame, forming a Law Life.
The Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect left without saying a word.
But he did not go far.
Instead, he stood not far away, quietly watching the Land of Laws.
Not only the Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, but also the Great Experts of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, almost all came out and stood afar, observing Ji Qing “carrying” the Heavenly Fire Law.
Upon seeing that Ji Qing had indeed invoked the Heavenly Fire Law, these Great Experts were all moved.
“Finally, someone has invoked the power of the Supreme Law again? It’s a pity it’s not someone from my Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect…”
“In my Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, we have had many talented individuals over the years, with endless Top Heavenly Talents, and even Emperor’s Sons have been born… Unfortunately, to this day, no one has been able to carry the Supreme Law. Unexpectedly, Ji Qing today has actually invoked the Supreme Law…”
“Although Ji Qing killed the Emperor’s Son and has a deep enmity with my Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, his talent is truly supreme in the Black Ruins. It’s just that we don’t know how many portions of Heavenly Fire Law Power he can carry?”
Thus, everyone saw Ji Qing invoke the first portion of Heavenly Fire Law Power, then the second, third…
And it was not over.
Four portions, five portions, six portions, seven portions, eight portions…
When Ji Qing invoked ten portions of Heavenly Fire Law Power, all the Great Experts were deeply shaken, dumbfounded, and speechless for a long time.
Ten portions!
Is this still human?
Ten portions!
Even with Legendary Supernatural Power and Supreme Dharma Idol, one cannot carry ten portions of Heavenly Fire Law Power, right?
But the fact was right before their eyes.
At this moment, everyone’s mind was immensely shocked.
Ji Qing’s talent had already far surpassed that of the Emperor’s Son and all the Heavenly Talents of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect throughout history.
No Heavenly Talent could compare to him.
But Ji Qing was not finished yet.
He continued to invoke the power of Heavenly Fire Law.
The eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth portions…
Finally, Ji Qing stopped.
Thirteen portions of Heavenly Fire Law Power.
Seeing this, many Great Experts involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he stopped.
It was too terrifying.
Which Great Expert who cultivated to Nirvana Realm was not a Heavenly Talent?
But most Great Experts could only carry one portion of Law Power.
Many of them were even only Common Laws or Superior Laws.
And Ji Qing was carrying the Supreme Law!
The gap between the Supreme Law and Common Law or Superior Law was immeasurable.
Similarly, Ji Qing’s strength had clearly advanced further.
It is likely that even if the Sacred Venerable Old Ancestors of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect were awakened, they might not necessarily be Ji Qing’s opponents.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
“Heavenly Fire Law: Supreme Law （ Thirteen Portions of Law Power ）”
Ji Qing was very satisfied.
The compatibility between the Heavenly Fire Law and the Blood Fiend Nether Sea was even greater than Ji Qing had anticipated.
Unexpectedly, he carried thirteen portions of Heavenly Fire Law Power in total.
It was more than the power of the Destruction Law.
Now, with four Laws by his side, Ji Qing’s strength had advanced further.
However, Ji Qing felt that the Blood Fiend Nether Sea and Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body Dharma Aspects had not reached their limit, and it seemed they could carry one more Supreme Law.
Moreover, Ji Qing’s Five Layered Heavenly Domain had not even carried any Laws yet.
It was a pity that there were no more Supreme Laws available now.
Supreme Laws are not like common cabbage.
Even for Top Powers, they are their foundation!
If it weren’t for Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect knowing they were in the wrong and being pressured by the Thirteen Lineage Masters of Purgatory together, Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect would absolutely not allow anyone else to comprehend the Heavenly Fire Law.
Therefore, it was already extremely fortunate for Ji Qing to possess four Laws at once.
It was unrealistic to find a fifth Supreme Law in a short period.
Ji Qing got up and left the valley.
Seeing the people of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, Ji Qing did not have any intention of greeting them.
This time, after carrying the Heavenly Fire Law, he would not be grateful to Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect.
This was his due!
Soon, Ji Qing left the Heavenly Fire Realm and rendezvoused with Changfeng Old Ancestor in the Black Ruins.
Changfeng Old Ancestor’s eyes lit up: “Ji Qing, is it done?”
“Done! Heavenly Fire Law is in hand.”
Changfeng Old Ancestor also smiled.
He knew that the people of Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect were probably grinding their teeth with hatred.
He then decided not to provoke Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect further.
“Let’s go, back.”
Ji Qing and Changfeng Old Ancestor successfully returned to the Purgatory Realm.
“Ji Qing, what else do you need now?”
Changfeng Old Ancestor asked.
Ji Qing raised his head and looked towards the Void.
He actually still had a concern.
It was just that carrying the Supreme Law was the most important thing before, so he hadn’t considered it.
Now, Ji Qing had to consider it.
Ji Qing was considering the matter of “Open Heavenly Gate.”
He was now in the Nirvana Realm, which meant Ji Qing could open the Heavenly Gate again.
Once the Heavenly Gate was opened, he could obtain another portion of Martial Dao Origin.
However, the true use of Martial Dao Origin was to use it when the Physical Body encountered a bottleneck. At that time, the Physical Body could break through the bottleneck and elevate the Physical Body to a brand new level.
And Ji Qing’s current Physical Body was the Minor Accomplishment of Second Stage Giant Spirit Race Physical Body.
The Progress had only reached 10%, far from Perfection.
Ji Qing had planned to reach Second Order Perfection in his Physical Body, then open the Heavenly Gate to obtain Martial Dao Origin, and directly break through to Third Order.
If he opened the Heavenly Gate now, it would be a waste of that Martial Dao Origin.
Fortunately, Ji Qing could now control the timing of opening the Heavenly Gate.
As long as he remained in the Nirvana Realm, he could open the Heavenly Gate at any time.
“With my current strength, I’m not lacking that much from the improvement brought by one portion of Martial Dao Origin. I’ll wait a bit longer, and when Martial Dao Origin is most needed, I’ll open the Heavenly Gate, climb the Martial Dao Mountain, and obtain Martial Dao Origin!”
Ji Qing had already made up his mind.
There were still seven years left until the Nirvana Forbidden Zone closed.
Ji Qing no longer delayed.
Thus, after sending a Communication Talisman to Changfeng Old Ancestor, Ji Qing quietly left the Purgatory Realm and headed directly for the Nirvana Forbidden Zone!
…
The Nirvana Forbidden Zone was still open.
It would generally be open for ten years.
Only three years had passed so far.
At this moment, some Great Experts had gathered outside the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
The number was not too large.
The Nirvana Forbidden Zone only opened once every hundred years. Originally, many Great Experts were eager to try their luck inside the Forbidden Zone, as many Great Experts had ambition and wanted to advance further.
But after the news of the Thirteen Lineage Masters of Purgatory being trapped spread widely, some Great Experts hesitated.
They dared not enter the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
If even the Thirteen Lineage Masters could be trapped, it showed how dangerous the Nirvana Forbidden Zone was.
Ji Qing traveled through Space and saw the scene before him.
Many Great Experts were looking at the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
But they just wouldn’t go in.
Ji Qing had disguised himself this time.
Therefore, no Great Expert recognized him.
Seeing a “stranger Great Expert” arrive at the Nirvana Forbidden Zone, no one paid any attention.
“Sigh, why has the Nirvana Forbidden Zone become so difficult this time? Great Expert Qing Kong had only entered for three days, and his Life Tablet shattered, meaning he has already perished.”
“The Nirvana Forbidden Zone opens once every hundred years, but in all its previous openings, it has never been this dangerous. All thirteen Lineage Masters of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory are trapped, and might perish at any moment. What more can be said for other Great Experts?”
“We can’t enter the Nirvana Forbidden Zone anymore…”
Many Great Experts wore worried expressions.
However, Ji Qing remained unfazed. Facing the Great Experts of the Nirvana Realm, he flew directly towards them.
This move attracted the attention of many people.
They seemed somewhat surprised.
The Nirvana Forbidden Zone is already so dangerous, yet someone still dares to enter?
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing’s figure vanished into the entrance of the Forbidden Zone, disappearing instantly.
Ji Qing entered the Nirvana Forbidden Zone very smoothly, encountering no trouble.
Upon arriving at the Nirvana Forbidden Zone, he found himself in a mountain forest.
The surroundings were lush and the scenery beautiful.
How could this possibly be the extremely dangerous Nirvana Forbidden Zone?
However, the Nirvana Forbidden Zone is extremely dangerous.
A Great Expert entered the Forbidden Zone and perished within three days.
One must realize, that was a Great Expert.
Each one is a Law Life.
Not to mention anything else, their ability to preserve their lives is extremely strong.
Perishing within three days clearly shows that the Nirvana Forbidden Zone possesses a terrifying danger beyond imagination.
As for what that danger is, Ji Qing did not know for the moment.
The Nirvana Forbidden Zone is too vast, and Ji Qing could not search aimlessly.
Therefore, Ji Qing immediately sent a Communication Talisman to the thirteen Lineage Masters.
Sending a Communication Talisman from inside the Forbidden Zone to the outside was completely impossible.
However, since they were all inside the Forbidden Zone, communication should be fine.
After sending the Communication Talisman, Ji Qing waited quietly.
“Buzz.”
As expected, the thirteen Lineage Masters responded.
However, the response from all thirteen Lineage Masters consisted of only six words.
“Extremely dangerous, return!”
Ji Qing sent another Communication Talisman.
He had already come this far, how could he possibly turn back?
He asked for the specific location where the thirteen Lineage Masters were trapped.
After a long while, the Lineage Masters finally provided a specific location.
“Tian Ku Mountain?”
Ji Qing did not know where Tian Ku Mountain was.
But Ji Qing could sense the approximate location of the Thirteen Meridians.
This was also a method intentionally employed by the thirteen Lineage Masters.
Ji Qing only needed to search in that direction.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing directly tore open Space.
Soon, Ji Qing emerged from the space tunnel.
But the moment he appeared.
“Buzz.”
Ji Qing felt as if he was trapped in a “muddy swamp.”
His entire body was restrained.
Moreover, the surrounding Void was distorted.
Most importantly, Ji Qing felt his vitality rapidly draining away.
“What is this?”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
He looked around.
He felt as if he was being pulled into a vortex.
Fortunately, Ji Qing’s vitality was extremely formidable.
Especially for a Second Order Giant Spirit God Clan, they were divine races from the Immortal Realm.
Their vitality was unbelievably strong.
Despite his vitality draining, Ji Qing was not affected at all.
If it were any other Great Expert, even a Top Great Power, they would likely be in grave danger within this short time.
Ji Qing attempted to break free.
But he found that his Physical Body was trapped.
He could not break free no matter what.
Even Laws were useless.
Because Laws had merged with Dharma Aspects and Divine Abilities, forming Law Lives.
“So, as long as it is a life form, it cannot break free from this trap?”
Ji Qing seemed to realize the key.
Neither his Physical Body nor his Law Life could break free.
Was he going to be stuck here indefinitely?
Although his vitality was immense, he couldn’t endure such a continuous drain.
Ji Qing’s thoughts stirred.
He activated the Primordial Ancestor God Essence Blood within his body.
Instantly, a ten-thousand-zhang tall Ancestor God True Body manifested in the Void.
The Ancestor God True Body was not a life form.
Therefore, it was indeed not affected.
Subsequently, the Ancestor God True Body reached out with a massive hand.
It forcefully pulled Ji Qing’s Physical Body out.
Then, the sense of restraint disappeared.
Ji Qing moved away from the vortex and looked at the location with uncertainty.
The vortex had vanished.
It looked like ordinary Void.
How could anyone tell it was so dangerous?
Ji Qing began to understand why the Nirvana Forbidden Zone was so dangerous.
His strength was already considerable, yet he had almost fallen victim.
Of course, Ji Qing had many other means.
Even without the Ancestor God True Body, he could have tried to escape using his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
That should have been fine too.
Therefore, in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone, strength was important, but not entirely so.
One probably needed to be more well-rounded in their abilities.
There should be no fatal weaknesses.
Otherwise, with just a bit of bad luck, one could be trapped in a perilous area, which would be troublesome.
From then on, Ji Qing proceeded with extreme caution.
He was already very close to Tian Ku Mountain.
But who knew if there were any perilous areas nearby?
Ji Qing was already cautious enough, yet it was still futile.
He subsequently encountered various dangerous areas.
Some dangers were bizarre and peculiar.
They appeared to have no fatal threat, but they could trap many Great Experts securely.
However, Ji Qing had numerous skills.
No matter how many dangerous areas there were, they could not trap him.
Finally, Ji Qing arrived at Tian Ku Mountain.
“Lineage Masters, I have arrived at Tian Ku Mountain. Where are you?”
Ji Qing sent a Communication Talisman to the thirteen Lineage Masters.
“We don’t know exactly where we are trapped. We only know that we came to Tian Ku Mountain and then mistakenly entered a dangerous area. There are stone statues everywhere, densely packed. Over time, we will gradually ‘petrify’.”
“Ji Qing, Tian Ku Mountain is too dangerous. You should leave quickly, lest you become trapped like us.”
Ji Qing’s expression turned solemn as he read the contents of the Communication Stone.
The thirteen Lineage Masters didn’t even know where they were specifically trapped?
They only knew it was at Tian Ku Mountain.
The current Ji Qing was outside Tian Ku Mountain, which was already fraught with danger.
As for the stone statues.
Ji Qing’s pupils constricted.
He saw them; within Tian Ku Mountain, there were indeed rows and rows of stone statues.
They covered the mountains and plains.
The Lineage Masters said they would petrify over time.
Then, were all these stone statues Great Experts who had entered Tian Ku Mountain in the past?
This possibility was extremely high!
“Then I won’t go in.”
Ji Qing’s mind moved, and he immediately activated his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
Instantly, the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm rapidly swept towards Tian Ku Mountain.
As long as the thirteen Lineage Masters were within Tian Ku Mountain, Ji Qing could directly sweep them into his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm and rescue them.
However, when his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm expanded to the vicinity of Tian Ku Mountain.
A terrifying scene unfolded.
Inside Ji Qing’s Grotto-Heaven Small Realm, everything began to petrify.
Even Ji Qing could not control it.
Ji Qing immediately retracted his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
This left Ji Qing uncertain.
A portion within the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm had petrified.
But as long as it was away from Tian Ku Mountain, the petrification would slowly weaken or even disappear.
“What kind of strange ability is this?”
Ji Qing also felt it was somewhat tricky.
“Ancestor God True Body!”
Ji Qing manifested his Ancestor God True Body again.
The ten-thousand-zhang tall Ancestor God True Body directly stepped into Tian Ku Mountain.
“Buzz.”
It was the same.
Even the Ancestor God True Body gradually petrified.
Fortunately, Ji Qing’s main body was still outside.
Therefore, he immediately retracted the Ancestor God True Body, thus preventing it from being petrified.
This was truly terrifying.
Both the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm and the Ancestor God True Body could be petrified?
As for Law Lives, there was no need to even mention them.
The thirteen Lineage Masters were Law Lives.
They even bore Top-tier Laws.
Yet, they were still trapped.
This indicated that even Laws could not withstand the petrification ability of Tian Ku Mountain.
“Wait, the thirteen Lineage Masters are only trapped at Tian Ku Mountain, and they haven’t been petrified yet, which means they can resist petrification to a certain extent.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
The Lineage Masters had been trapped for three years.
And they were not petrified.
What did this imply?
It implied that the thirteen Lineage Masters had strong resistance to petrification.
They could resist petrification to a certain extent.
Was it because of the Top-tier Laws?
There is this possibility.
Top-tier Laws are ultimately far stronger than ordinary and Superior Laws.
Ji Qing didn’t need to guess; he’d know with one try.
He possesses four Supreme Laws.
Ji Qing pondered and immediately unleashed the Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body.
The current Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body carried the Law of Life.
The defense is the strongest.
Thus, eight Heavenly Dragons charged into Tian Ku Mountain.
Indeed, as soon as he entered Tian Ku Mountain, Ji Qing sensed something different.
An invisible power instantly enveloped Ji Qing’s eight Heavenly Dragons.
That power attempted to Petrification the eight Heavenly Dragons.
But the eight Heavenly Dragons carried the Supreme Law of Life.
No matter how strange the Petrification ability was, it couldn’t affect the eight Heavenly Dragons.
The eight Heavenly Dragons explored Tian Ku Mountain.
They did not find the thirteen Lineage Masters.
Moreover, the eight Heavenly Dragons could not stray too far from Ji Qing, or they would dissipate.
“Return.”
Ji Qing recalled the eight Heavenly Dragons.
He found that these eight Heavenly Dragons had sustained no damage at all and smoothly returned to Ji Qing’s side.
Ji Qing was finally relieved.
The eight Heavenly Dragons could freely enter and exit Tian Ku Mountain, and the Petrification ability was ineffective against them.
It was likely due to the Supreme Law of Life.
With that, Ji Qing was at ease.
Thus, Ji Qing no longer hesitated and stepped into Tian Ku Mountain.
As Ji Qing’s main body stepped into Tian Ku Mountain.
Indeed, an invisible power enveloped Ji Qing.
It attempted to Petrification Ji Qing.
Ji Qing directly augmented with the Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body.
With the protection of the Supreme Law of Life, that Petrification power could not affect Ji Qing.
Ji Qing looked around.
There were many Stone Statues.
A thought moved in his heart.
He immediately took the Stone Statues out.
No problem.
He successfully took the Stone Statues out.
However, after a long time, the Stone Statues showed no signs of awakening.
This caused Ji Qing to fall into deep thought.
These Stone Statues were likely transformed Great Experts.
Yet, even after he had taken the Stone Statues far away from Tian Ku Mountain, they still hadn’t awakened.
This meant that once fully Petrificationed, one would die!
Forever unable to awaken again.
Ji Qing returned to Tian Ku Mountain once more.
He discovered that the deeper he went, the more terrifying the Petrification became.
Ji Qing could already feel a trace of the aura of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory Lineage Masters.
It was in the depths of Tian Ku Mountain.
Ji Qing walked further in step by step.
The Petrification pressure he endured grew increasingly intense.
Finally, Ji Qing saw the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory Lineage Masters.
At this moment, the thirteen Lineage Masters were in the most core area of Tian Ku Mountain.
Moreover, they were already semi-Petrificationed.
Unable to move.
They could only remain still, relying on Top-tier Laws to resist Petrification.
“Ji Qing, you truly came…”
The Rong Shen First Meridian Master looked at Ji Qing with a complex expression.
“Ji Qing, you cannot come in. This is the most core area of Tian Ku Mountain. Once you enter, you will be trapped, and no one can leave.”
Ji Qing heard this and stopped.
In fact, even just approaching the core area, he felt the Petrification ability reach an unbelievably terrifying level.
Even his body had begun to Petrification.
This indicated that even the Supreme Law of Life could not withstand the Petrification.
Let alone the core area where the thirteen Lineage Masters resided.
Once Ji Qing stepped into the core area, even with Supreme Laws, he could not guarantee he wouldn’t be Petrificationed.
Although Ji Qing was currently at risk of Petrification.
Yet, it was still the Supreme Law of Life.
It could still hold on for a considerable time.
“Lineage Master, how can I save you?”
Ji Qing asked again.
This Tian Ku Mountain was indeed strange.
What was the point of merely trapping people and then Petrificationing them?
“Ji Qing, think carefully, what does the layout of the entire Tian Ku Mountain resemble?”
The Lineage Master asked.
Ji Qing frowned.
The entire Tian Ku Mountain?
He hadn’t really paid attention.
But Ji Qing immediately unleashed the Ancestor God True Body.
The ten-thousand-zhang tall Ancestor God True Body could overlook the entire stone mountain from above.
Before the Ancestor God True Body was Petrificationed, Ji Qing carefully examined the entire stone mountain, and then Ji Qing immediately retracted the Ancestor God True Body.
In his mind, Ji Qing had the complete layout of Tian Ku Mountain.
However, the more he pondered, the more shocked Ji Qing became.
“The layout of this Tian Ku Mountain resembles a game of chess?”
Ji Qing said.
“Yes, it is a game of chess! And the Stone Statues are the chess pieces.”
“We don’t know which great existence’s method this is. It’s merely a game of chess, and yet we have become the pieces…”
“Pieces are not in control of themselves. To save the pieces, one must ‘exchange pieces’.”
“Do you see those Black Stone Statues in the distance? As long as you approach, the Black Stone Statues will awaken. Only by defeating a certain number of Stone Statues can you exchange that many pieces, meaning you can save that many people.”
“We thirteen are a whole. Therefore, if you want to save us, you must defeat thirteen Black Stone Statues.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
Defeat thirteen Black Stone Statues?
That’s simple.
Ji Qing’s greatest strength was combat.
Since he could save the thirteen Lineage Masters through combat, that would be for the best.
“Ji Qing, those Black Stone Statues are extremely terrifying. Defeating even one is difficult, let alone thirteen attacking simultaneously. To date, anyone who has been Petrificationed in Tian Ku Mountain has been unable to defeat the Black Stone Statues…”
The Lineage Master warned Ji Qing.
“Is that so?”
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He gazed at those Black Stone Statues.
No one has been able to defeat the Stone Statues so far?
That doesn’t mean he can’t.
After all, his Strength is extremely terrifying, possessing four Supreme Laws. Even ordinary Saint Venerables are not his match.
No matter how strong the Black Stone Statues are, how strong can they be?
Even if this is truly a chessboard.
And he has indeed become a piece. He is still a living piece!
And a living piece has infinite possibilities!
“I’ll give it a try.”
Ji Qing no longer hesitated, enduring the terrifying Petrification pressure, and flew towards those Black Stone Statues.
As he approached the Black Stone Statues.
“Hum.”
The Black Stone Statues began to vibrate.
Then, one by one.
Indeed, all thirteen Stone Statues were vibrating.
At the same time, the thirteen Stone Statues seemed to have “come alive.”
These thirteen Stone Statues, each one was a “cultivator.”
Their auras were also those of “Great Experts.”
Each person seemed to have lost their sentience.
Then, the thirteen figures moved.
Without hesitation, they directly manifested their Dharma Aspects behind them.
Upon seeing these Dharma Aspects, Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
Supreme Dharma Idol!
Each of them possessed a Supreme Dharma Idol.
And their Divine Abilities were Legendary Supernatural Powers!
The most crucial aspect was the aura of Laws they carried.
Supreme Laws!
Those were Supreme Laws!
Ji Qing was somewhat stunned.
What’s going on?
Black statues, each possessing Legendary Supernatural Powers, Supreme Dharma Idols, and Supreme Laws.
How can this be fought?
This is simply outrageous.
No wonder it has been so long, and no one has been able to rescue the people of Tian Ku Mountain.
How can they be rescued?
Ji Qing was powerful.
Possessing four Supreme Laws.
His Ancestral God Bloodline had condensed into the Ancestor God True Body.
And he had the augmentation of the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
At this moment, Ji Qing hesitated for no reason, going all out.
All the Power he could mobilize was brought forth.
Not holding back in the slightest.
Then…
“Rumble.”
A collision without any fancy maneuvers.
Ji Qing immediately felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
His Dharma Idol began to collapse.
After just one blow, Ji Qing no longer harbored any hope.
“Run!”
Ji Qing’s previous grand ambitions were gone.
Rescue the thirteen Lineage Masters?
What a joke.
Facing these thirteen terrifying Black Statues, Ji Qing was already extremely fortunate to survive one blow without dying.
Rescue?
He needed to save himself now!
“Lineage Master, I will return to improve my Strength and come back. You all hold on for a few more years…”
Ji Qing’s voice faded further away.
In the end, he completely disappeared without a trace.
The thirteen Lineage Masters exchanged glances.
They had actually held a sliver of hope just now.
After all, Ji Qing was the foremost Heavenly Talent in the Black Ruins’ history.
Invincible at the same level!
The result, just this?
“Ji Qing, we can only hold on for five more years at most, you need to hurry…”
The Lineage Masters’ voices echoed throughout Tian Ku Mountain, never ceasing.
One didn’t know if Ji Qing could hear them…
