Li Xuan Yi Qin

Chapter 932 The Abyss Forbidden Zone

"Looking at this, has the Grand Venerable Token been refined?" Bai Suxin, the White Venerable of Su Nu Peak, asked Li Xuan with a smile as he arrived.

"Venerable Bai indeed has a sharp eye. I have not disgraced my mission." Li Xuan nodded in response.

"That's excellent. Please have a seat for a moment." The White Venerable Bai Suxin nodded slightly and flicked her hand towards the void. A beam of spiritual light instantly vanished.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and then walked to a stone chair to sit and wait.

A moment later, a figure slowly appeared in the stone pavilion. The newcomer was the Grand Venerable's wife, Mo Ningxiang.

"You've come out of seclusion? And your strength has actually increased so much!" Mo Ningxiang exclaimed in surprise as she saw Li Xuan upon arrival.

"This subordinate greets the Grand Venerable's wife." Li Xuan immediately rose and bowed, then said, "This is all arranged by Grand Venerable Lin Yi. Otherwise, this subordinate would have needed much more time to reach my current strength."

"Yi Ge's arrangement? It seems Yi Ge also prepared a gift for you within the Venerable Token. Don't stand there; sit down and talk." Mo Ningxiang nodded with realization.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and then sat down, recounting the events within the Venerable Token. Li Xuan had no reason to hide anything from Mo Ningxiang and the White Venerable Bai Suxin.

"A spiritual body clone of Yi Ge has been merged with you, no wonder it could help you reach the peak of the Divine Transformation realm. With this, it's a good start for you to reach the Free and Unfettered realm with a perfect soul within ten years," the White Venerable Bai Suxin nodded.

Mo Ningxiang pondered for a moment and said, "Did Yi Ge mention anything about his plan?"

"Not exactly. However, if Venerable Bai and the Grand Venerable's wife could tell me a bit about what Grand Venerable Lin Yi's plan is, I would be truly uneasy," Li Xuan shook his head and asked.

"Li Xuan, we will naturally tell you what Yi Ge's opportunities are. However, the current situation is still unclear, and you may have to wait a while longer."

"Don't be nervous. Since Yi Ge mentioned ten years, you will likely know everything by the time you reach that strength," Mo Ningxiang said.

"This subordinate understands," Li Xuan sighed helplessly and nodded.

"What are your plans for improving your strength to the Free and Unfettered realm with a perfect soul within ten years? If you need anything, just ask. You will have permission to use all resources within Tian Yi Pavilion," Mo Ningxiang asked.

"After thinking about it, if I were to cultivate in seclusion within the pavilion, it would be difficult to achieve much progress in ten years. Therefore, I wish to travel outside, perhaps to seek some fortuitous encounters," Li Xuan said.

"Your idea is not wrong, but our Tian Yi Pavilion is about to hold a grand event, and you, as the protagonist, cannot be absent. After the event concludes, you can choose a time to go out, how about it?" Mo Ningxiang suddenly said.

"Grand event?" Li Xuan was stunned, clearly unaware of the event Mo Ningxiang mentioned.

The White Venerable Bai Suxin smiled and said, "This time you've raised our Tian Yi Domain's ranking in the Six Domain Auction Assembly from sixth to third, breaking a record of ten thousand years. Such a grand occasion naturally calls for a celebration."

"Besides that, the other five domains have likely learned about the Grand Venerable Token. We will also reveal some wind at the appropriate time. Firstly, to make the Ten Thousand Ancient Domain wary. Secondly, to stabilize the various factions."

"I see. In that case, this subordinate will temporarily remain in the Wood Pavilion. After this grand event concludes, this subordinate will choose a time to leave," Li Xuan nodded with realization.

"Do you have any thoughts on where you'd like to travel? Also, your identity is now known to all five domains. If people from the Ten Thousand Ancient Domain learn that you have left the Tian Yi Domain, there might be some trouble," the White Venerable Bai Suxin asked.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then said, "As for where to go for training next, I don't have a specific direction yet. However, the world is vast, and I don't think the Ten Thousand Ancient Grand Venerable can cover it all with one hand."

The White Venerable Bai Suxin nodded slightly and then said, "If you wish to train, I have a place that I think is suitable for you."

"Please enlighten me, Venerable Bai," Li Xuan asked joyfully.

"Previously, your strength was only at the early stage of the Divine Transformation realm, and this place would have been somewhat difficult for you. However, now that you are at the peak of the Divine Transformation realm, coupled with the boost from your Three-Round Heavenly Sun, I believe it is enough for self-preservation."

"However, while this place allows for rapid strength improvement, its danger level is also extremely high. You must not enter the depths until your strength reaches the Age realm," the White Venerable Bai Suxin said.

Mo Ningxiang's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Sister, are you referring to the Abyssal Forbidden Ground?"

"The Abyssal Forbidden Ground?" Li Xuan was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of such a place since arriving in the Cloud World.

The White Venerable Bai Suxin nodded, "Indeed, it is the Abyssal Forbidden Ground. This place sank when the Cloud World fell apart. Even after tens of thousands of years, the malevolent energy here has not diminished in the slightest."

"The Abyssal Forbidden Ground not only has powerful demonic beasts but also many spiritual masters corrupted by the energy of slaughter. Of course, those individuals can no longer be called spiritual masters. Corrupted by the energy of slaughter, they have become mere walking corpses driven by killing, but they retain the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of their former lives, making them even more difficult to deal with than demonic beasts."

"Sister, this place is a dangerous land. If he enters with his current strength, won't the risk be too great? Moreover, there have been Age realm cultivators who have perished within. If something were to happen to him..." Mo Ningxiang said with some worry.

"There's no need to worry about that. As long as he trains in the outer areas, it should be fine. And even if he can't win, with his movement techniques and physique, he should be able to escape. Otherwise, there's really no other effective way to rapidly increase his strength," the White Venerable Bai Suxin replied.

"But..." Mo Ningxiang still seemed uneasy.

"Grand Venerable's wife, please don't worry. This place is very suitable for this subordinate. After the grand event concludes, this subordinate will go there to train. As for safety, Grand Venerable's wife, you need not worry; this subordinate cherishes his life greatly," Li Xuan interjected before Mo Ningxiang could finish.

"Fine, since you've decided, then so be it. But remember to be careful in all things and do not be overly anxious to the detriment of yourself," Mo Ningxiang sighed helplessly.

Li Xuan nodded, "This subordinate understands."

After a period of casual chat, Li Xuan handed over three hundred billion Tai Yuan Crystals to Mo Ningxiang and then returned to the Wood Pavilion's Leader's Hall.

Upon returning to the Leader's Hall, Li Xuan immediately entered a secret chamber. With a wave of his hand, he began examining the map of the Cloud World given to him by the White Venerable Bai Suxin.

After memorizing the location of the Abyssal Forbidden Ground, Li Xuan waved his hand and took out the image stone of past training in the Abyssal Forbidden Ground given to him by the White Venerable Bai Suxin. As Li Xuan pressed it against his forehead, it instantly vanished.

The image stone contained the White Venerable Bai Suxin's personal experiences. Seeing the usually understated White Venerable Bai Suxin fighting with decisive ferocity, Li Xuan was greatly shocked.

The recording in the image stone showed the White Venerable Bai Suxin engaging in three battles.

One was against a peak Age realm demonic beast.

Another was against a peak Age realm spiritual master who had been corrupted and demonized by malevolent energy.

The final battle was when the White Venerable Bai Suxin, at the middle stage of the Age realm, fought a spiritual master of the Free and Unfettered realm in a higher-level combat. The outcome was unfavorable, and the White Venerable Bai Suxin retreated in defeat.

Several minutes later, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Although there was a hint of shock in his eyes, there was more surprise and delight. With the visual record of the White Venerable Bai Suxin's personal experiences, Li Xuan's understanding of the Abyssal Forbidden Ground deepened considerably.

As for the battle he did not win, Li Xuan also understood that it was the White Venerable Bai Suxin's way of warning him to be cautious.

"This place is indeed suitable for training. No wonder the Grand Venerable's wife was somewhat worried. However, a place like this should be enough for me to train thoroughly," Li Xuan murmured to himself, then took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, entering seclusion once more.

A sudden increase in strength naturally required a calm and peaceful mind. Sitting in meditation was a traditional method.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

*Dong, dong, dong!*

On this day, accompanied by the sound of three bells, Li Xuan in the secret chamber slowly opened his eyes.

"Has the grand event begun?"
