Chapter 662: 197: Mysterious Forbidden Land! Cultivation Skyrockets Again!
Wang Ping hesitated slightly, feeling torn.
Based on experience, if he went, something would definitely go wrong.
However, by going, he would certainly uncover some secrets that would pave the way for future simulations.
“Let’s go, I won’t be able to increase my cultivation much during this simulation anyway.”
In the end, Wang Ping made the decision.
During this simulation, he had already become a saint, and had achieved his goal. He couldn’t improve his cultivation much afterwards, and even if he could, the slight increase in cultivation wouldn’t be of much use.
Therefore, exploring the Elemental Forbidden Land to see what secrets it hid seemed more cost-effective.
Wang Ping had always been extremely curious about the Elemental Secret Realm.
The palace master of Tao Palace had entered this place and had brought back a god stone for him, which helped him build the Divine Platform and successfully break through to the True Divine Realm.
However, at that time, the palace master of Tao Palace had most likely been in a very peripheral area and hadn’t ventured in too deep.
Otherwise, even a saint entering too deeply into this place might face danger, let alone a cultivator at the peak of the God King Realm like him.
After all, the Elemental Forbidden Land was of mysterious origin. Wang Ping understood from the knowledge he had gained during past simulations that this place had existed in the primordial past.
Its emergence could be traced back to a million years ago, but the ancient cultivators on the Primordial Star did not know how far back it went.
This was because the Elemental Star was only discovered by people half a million years ago. From then on, it began to rise in the Cultivation System, officially connected with the Upper Realm and began to give birth to Saint Realm powerhouses.
Before that, the strongest beings on the Elemental Star were only at the God Monarch Realm.
God King Realm powerhouses knew about the dangers of the Elemental Forbidden Land but didn’t know how terrifying it truly was.
After all, on the Elemental Star, there were plenty of places where God King Realm powerhouses could perish.
Therefore, in the cognitive layer of the God King Realm powerhouses, the Elemental Forbidden Land was just as dangerous as any other dangerous forbidden land.
However, when the Elemental Star began to give birth to saints, Saint Kings, and even Half-step Great Saints, no one who entered there ever returned, which made the cultivators of the Elemental Star realize that they had severely underestimated the danger.
Knowing its true level of danger, the descendants called it the Elemental Forbidden Land — a forbidden area on the Elemental Star where even Saint Kings or Half-step Great Saints would surely die if they entered.
As a result, no one knew what secrets lay hidden in the Elemental Forbidden Land, not the Tao Palace, nor the other forces on the Elemental Star.
Perhaps only those at the supreme level might know some of the secrets hidden there.
After all, at that level, they should be able to navigate the various dangers within the forbidden land without fear.
Wang Ping even suspected that the supreme being who had been hiding on the Elemental Star and refining his Time-Space Body origin during previous simulations was an outsider searching for the Elemental Star’s secrets.
Otherwise, if he was a native, people wouldn’t have been unable to recognize his identity.
“The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish! Not only do I want the rewards from the Nine Stars Pavilion, but I also want to seize any great opportunities that may exist in the Elemental Forbidden Land. System, fast-forward please.”
Wang Ping thought to himself, then said it aloud.
“Ding, fast-forwarding…”
The system’s voice rang out, and the luminescent screen appeared once again, with words floating in the air.
[After you made the choice, you and Lin Qinghe entered the Elemental Forbidden Land together. During the process, you also asked Lin Qinghe’s second soul, the remnant soul of the previous generation Swallowing Immortal Demon Body, if she knew anything about the Elemental Forbidden Land.]
[In response, the remnant soul of the previous generation Swallowing Immortal Demon Body shook her head, claiming that she had never been to a remote place like the Elemental Star and naturally wouldn’t know any of its secrets. Moreover, her memory was incomplete, and she had forgotten many things.]
[Although you felt some regret upon hearing this, you didn’t dwell on it too much. Soon enough, you both entered the peripheral area. It had to be said that the Elemental Forbidden Land was an extremely bizarre place, with strange energies permeating the air that could cause confusion and even lead one astray.]
[In addition, from time to time, strange creatures would appear, ignoring the divine power on you and Lin Qinghe, and attack you both. This would be impossible in the outside world.]
[After all, the dignity of a saint must not be challenged. Monster beasts at the God Monarch Realm, let alone confronting a saint, would tremble in fear even when encountering a semi-saint, either submitting or fleeing; attacking semi-saints and saints would be impossible.]
[After studying these creatures, you found them quite peculiar. Their power did not come from the Cultivation System of humans or monster beasts but from pure strength. However, despite their formidable power, they lacked intelligence and had only a primal instinct to hunt.]
[This was also a very bizarre phenomenon. After all, even monster beasts with only innate realm cultivation in the lower world would have intelligence comparable to ordinary people, let alone those who reached the level of the God Monarch Realm.]
[Soon, you were about to cross the peripheral area and enter the inner area. However, even before entering the inner area, you felt a terrifying energy rippling in the air that was several times more horrifying than the bizarre energies outside. Even a semi-saint would have to be concerned.]
