The big gray fish crossed the mountains and rivers all the way, and after a while it flew out of the western border of the Jin Dynasty and entered a vast and boundless virgin forest.
Dense woods move beneath your feet.
Everyone looked back and saw that the border city of the Jin Dynasty was getting smaller and smaller in their sight, until it completely disappeared.
"I finally left."
Everyone felt empty in their hearts.
From today on, they will step into a new world. They will no longer have family elders to rely on, and they will have to rely on themselves for everything from now on.
Of course, while they were confused, they also had strong expectations in their hearts.
After all, what they are about to come into contact with is a magnificent and strange world.
When they thought of the legendary immortal cultivators' omnipotent means of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, the young people present couldn't help but yearn for it.
At the same time, in the extremely remote depths of the forest in front of the big fish, a strange force suddenly emerged from the ground and spread in all directions.
A fierce tiger entered this area, and suddenly it roared in fear and tried to escape, but unfortunately it was already too late.
Its body was rapidly aging and decaying, and soon only a dry skeleton was left.
Even the skeleton was reduced to ashes in a short time.
Not just the tigers, wherever the force passed, trees rotted, boulders weathered, and even mountain peaks collapsed and shattered.
It seems that everything has experienced the passage of hundreds of millions of years in an instant.
…
The big fish continues to fly.
Zhao Mu and others have already entered the Taoist temple. After all, the endless forest is not interesting to look at.
In the Taoist temple.
Everyone was sitting in a large hall, asking Master Changkong some things about the world of immortality.
Zhou Yuniang asked: "Taoist Priest, I have seen in some historical books that the forest under our feet is called the Forest of Despair. Why does it have such an ominous name?"
"Because this forest itself is full of unknowns. In fact, in the earliest times, this place was not called the Forest of Despair, but the Forest of Immortals."
Master Changkong pondered for a moment and said, "You should all be wondering why there are no immortal cultivators in the Jin Dynasty, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
This point is probably the question on everyone's mind in the Jin Dynasty.
"We in the Jin Dynasty only have brief records about this matter. It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a great war between the immortal cultivators here in the Jin Dynasty."
"It is said that since that war, the immortal cultivators on this land have become extinct."
"But there is no record in history about the reasons for that war and why the immortal cultivators left one after another."
"Taoist Master, what happened at that time?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Master Changkong smiled and said, "This starts with the legend of the Immortal Forest."
"It has been said in the world of immortality since ancient times that there is an ancient ruin deep in this fairy forest. It is said that the secret of becoming an immortal exists in that ancient ruin."
"There are even rumors that a real immortal walked out of the ruins countless years ago."
"So for hundreds of millions of years, countless masters and powerful men have entered the Fairy Forest, trying to find the location of the ancient ruins."
"And just thousands of years ago, a group of immortal cultivators finally found the ancient ruins in the Immortal Trail Forest. After the news was leaked, countless powerful immortal cultivators came to fight for it."
"The battle was very tragic at the time, with countless casualties in the world of immortality. In the end, it was the arrival of several extremely powerful people who calmed down the dispute."
"Afterwards, those great supernatural powers teamed up to explore the ancient ruins. However, they did not find the secret to becoming an immortal. Instead, they discovered a terrifying desperate cold abyss in the ruins."
"The desperate cold abyss contains ancient time restrictions. The power it emits can accelerate the passage of time. Anyone or items contaminated by it will quickly consume their lifespan."
"At that time, most of the immortal cultivators who entered the ancient ruins with those great supernatural powers died of old age in an instant."
"Even two of those great magical powers failed to escape and eventually died under the years."
"Afterwards, several great supernatural powers united with the major sects and jointly managed to seal the desperate Hanyuan. However, the seal was not stable at the time and could break out again at any time."
"So the nearby immortal cultivators fled this area one after another, which led to the extinction of the immortal way in the Jin Dynasty."
"Since then, the Fairy Trail Forest has changed its name, and it is still called the Impasse Forest."
After Master Changkong finished speaking, there was silence in the Taoist temple.
Everyone was shocked by the desperate situation Han Yuan said by Master Changkong.
Immortal cultivators are not mortals, and all of them have long lifespans.
But the power in the desperate cold abyss can actually cause a large number of immortal cultivators to die of old age in an instant, which shows the terror of that power.
Someone swallowed their saliva and asked dryly: "Taoist Master, since the Impasse Forest is so scary, why do we still have to go from here? Can't we take other roads to Ziwei Daomen?"
"Haha, it's okay."
Master Changkong smiled and said: "For thousands of years, all the major sects have sent people to continuously strengthen the seal of the Extremist Hanyuan. Since the war that year, the Extremist Hanyuan has never erupted again, so we will be fine.
"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, as long as it didn't break out again.
After all, they had just entered the world of cultivating immortals, and they didn't want to die young before they had experienced the wonders of cultivating immortals.
Seeing that everyone was relieved, Zhao Mu suddenly said: "Taoist Priest, the seal itself may be fine, but is it possible that it was destroyed by humans?"
Master Changkong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "There is indeed the possibility of man-made sabotage, but who would do that?"
"The time restriction of the desperate cold abyss is too terrible. No one in the world of immortal cultivation can resist the erosion of that kind of time. Since there is no ability to explore the cold abyss, isn't it meaningless to destroy the seal?"
Yes, who would do something meaningless to themselves?
Everyone no longer took this matter to heart, and the big fish continued to fly to the west.
Time passed slowly, probably more than half an hour passed.
At a certain moment, a strange force enveloped me silently.
The wooden door of the main hall suddenly decayed at an alarming speed and quickly weathered into countless powders.
And this kind of decay is still rapidly spreading to the interior of the hall.
The roof, walls, floor tiles, tables, chairs, potted plants, etc., everything in the hall is aging strangely.
At this moment, the terrifying power of time is clearly revealed in front of everyone.
Everyone had discovered the anomaly, their hearts were horrified, and they subconsciously wanted to escape.
But the strange power spread so fast that everyone's bodies couldn't keep up with the speed of their thinking, and they still sat frozen in place, unable to escape in time.
Seeing that strange power is about to erode everyone's bodies.
Despair filled everyone's chest, and their hearts almost stopped beating.
But at this moment, Master Changkong, who had the strongest cultivation level, finally mobilized his magic power.
The next moment, a bright brilliance bloomed in front of everyone's eyes...
