The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 767: Entering the Forbidden Zone

Qiu Yaoyao retreated several dozen meters, barely dodging the sword qi from inside the restriction.

“Such strength! The Ancient Sword Sect truly lived up to its former glory.”

It was only after the energy from the restriction had completely dissipated that Qiu Yaoyao sighed with such a feeling.

Her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at the restriction, which had already returned to normal.

Then her gaze shifted to the Sect Master of the Ancient Sword Sect.

“Tell me everything you know about this restriction.”

A bitter expression once again appeared on the Sect Master’s face. “If that old man had any knowledge about this place, I would have told you everything without reservation. 

However, since the decline of the Ancient Sword Sect, the situation here has been completely unknown to us of this generation. 

Over the past three hundred years, I have made countless attempts, but not a single one has allowed me to enter this forbidden area.”

At this moment, the Ancient Sword Sect’s sect master did not seem to be lying.

The situation had reached a dead end.

It was only with great difficulty that they had found a clue about Zhang Xiu. If they did not go in and take a look, they would not be able to rest easy.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Jinzhen’s gaze turned to the Sect Master of the Ancient Sword Sect.

“Give me a copy of your Ancient Sword Sect’s core cultivation technique, and I will pay you the appropriate compensation.”

Since this was a forbidden area left over from the glorious days of the Ancient Sword Sect, using their cultivation technique might be a good choice as well.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yaoyao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her gaze also turned to the Sect Master of the Ancient Sword Sect.

Even though he was uninvolved with the world, he had heard of Qiu Yaoyao’s great name. 

Although his eyes remained bitter, he did not dare to refuse this request.

Immediately, he took out an old and tattered ancient scroll from his storage ring.

This ancient scroll looked extremely worn. 

After Su Jingzhen took it, he used his divine consciousness to scan it, thereby reading its contents.

It was indeed only a fragment.

It was called the Ancient Sword Technique, and if it were complete, it would be a pretty powerful cultivation technique.

“Our ancestors of the Ancient Sword Sect experienced something, but there is no record of it. 

However, this old man speculates that the decline of the Ancient Sword Sect was largely due to the loss of the Ancient Sword Technique. 

Relying solely on this technique, it is quite difficult for the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect to break through to the Divine Intent Realm.”

As Qiu Yaoyao and Su Jingzhen observed the fragment of the Ancient Sword Technique, the Sect Master of the Ancient Sword Sect continued to speak, his words filled with helplessness and sighs.

Neither Qiu Yaoyao nor Su Jingzhen paid any attention to his sighs.

After thoroughly examining the Ancient Sword Technique, they both frowned again.

Even from this fragment, they could sense the extraordinary nature of this cultivation technique.

However, it was too bad that it was only a fragment.

Perhaps someone from the Heavenly Dragon Race could complete this fragment, but it would take a considerable amount of time.

They did not have that much time to waste here.

With their own abilities, it would be too much of a stretch to complete it.

“If I were to try to complete this fragment, it would be too difficult. If only Little Green hadn’t fallen into a deep sleep.”

Su Jingzhen sighed, and as he thought about this, his mind suddenly jolted.

His gaze fell on the restriction once again, and his eyes instantly brightened.

The black brick in his hand once again emitted a bright, dark light.

“Why am I so anxious? Why do I have to destroy this restriction?

This restriction is extraordinary, and it is permeated with a rich aura of the Dao. Isn’t that what Little Green needs?”

When it came to matters involving Zhang Xiu, he had immediately wanted to break through with brute force.

He had forgotten that his black brick has the ability to absorb such Dao auras.

By absorbing it, he might even help Little Green wake up from its deep sleep.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward to the entrance of the restricted area once again.

Seeing his actions, everyone around him was filled with confusion.

At this moment, he slowly pressed the black brick against the restriction, the dark light spreading out, and even his consciousness borrowed the devouring power from Su Tuntun once more.

At this point, the restriction at the entrance of the restricted area no longer emitted fierce sword energy, and the Dao aura on it slowly began to be absorbed by the black brick.

In just a few dozen breaths, this restriction seemed to lose the last bit of its essence, energy, and spirit, and it dissipated on its own accord.

They were helpless against it before, but now it was broken so easily?

Even Qiu Yaoyao couldn’t quite believe what she was seeing.

“Is, is it broken?”

“Isn’t this a bit too easy?”

“You… You had this method all along, why didn’t you use it earlier? You made us waste so much effort.”

After a moment of shock, Qiu Yaoyao walked over, her gaze filled with both confusion and astonishment.

【Remaining Points: 1261】

Along with this, golden small words naturally appeared in front of Su Jingzhen.

However, at this moment, Su Jingzhen wasn’t excited by the arrival of the points; his gaze immediately turned to the inside of the restricted area.

“Wait outside. No one is allowed to enter without my permission.”

Qiu Yaoyao’s expression also became serious.

She instructed the Heavenly Dragon Race beside her and then entered the restricted area of the Ancient Sword Sect with Su Jingzhen.

Seeing this scene, the sect master of the Ancient Sword Sect could only watch helplessly.

This was clearly his sect, yet he currently had no means to even qualify for entering it. It was indeed a bit frustrating.

However, in the cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, things were indeed like this, and he was helpless.

However, there was one thing that was relatively good for him. 

The forbidden area had been breached, and after Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao explored it, they would likely allow the Ancient Sword Sect to enter and investigate as well.

Most importantly, if Qiu Yaoyao and the others were satisfied, the Ancient Sword Sect would be able to gain the favor of the Heavenly Dragon Race in the future.

…

The forbidden area wasn’t particularly large, but the spiritual energy inside was completely different from the island where the Ancient Sword Sect was located. 

It was extremely dense, making it look like a sacred place for cultivation.

“Strange, could it be that all the spiritual energy on this island has been absorbed by this forbidden area, causing the spiritual energy in other places to be sparse?” Qiu Yaoyao muttered.

Su Jingzhen, on the other hand, carefully explored the surroundings along the path they had entered, afraid of missing any trace left by Zhang Xiu.

After entering the forbidden area, they found themselves in a corridor, though it was quite spacious.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were marked with various sword marks, radiating a fierce sword intent. 

If a sword cultivator were to devote themselves to studying it, they might gain some significant insights from it.

However, Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao were not particularly interested in it.

When Su Jingzhen reached the end of the corridor, he found no more traces of Zhang Xiu, which made him quite disappointed.

At the end of the corridor, a massive black altar stood prominently.

The side of the altar facing them was carved with the image of an ancient sword, which looked quite ancient. Above the altar, there was a faint spatial fluctuation.

“Is this altar for teleportation?”
