Chapter 200: Some Birds Like to Fly into the Blade (8k) (Part 1)





Someone was attempting to cross the forbidden threshold? Ji Jingqiu was immediately intrigued.

Mu Yi had once mentioned that breaking through the Forbidden Sequence on the Ancient Road was different from breaking through outside of it, and one would lose a mysterious qualification.

He was curious to observe how others would cross this threshold and confirm what they would encounter when breaking through the forbidden sequence.

"Where and when?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"In a few days. I know the person, they're a Celestial Prodigy from the Southern Wilderness Continent, born into an Overlord-level force. If you're interested, we can set off tonight. It's quite a distance, in another Neutral City."

Then, Sen Luo emphasized,

"This guy has a senior sister who broke through the forbidden sequence outside the Ancient Road. If he succeeds this time, he'll have two forbidden sequences in his clan, and he'll become a major enemy for us on the Ancient Road in the future!"

A silver moon appeared in the sky, illuminating the top level, and the aura of the law intertwined and flowed like water waves. The tremendous pressure caused the surrounding area to crack, forming spider web-like fissures, but they precisely avoided Ye Xingchen.

If one couldn't enter the Forbidden Sequence, they wouldn't be able to reach the final sacred site on the Ancient Road! "How do others resist the black mist?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

At this moment, everyone felt a great terror. Yue Huansha's expression changed abruptly.

"Yanhuang Federation?" Sen Luo thought for a moment, feeling unfamiliar with the name, but he didn't inquire further. Since Ji Jingqiu asked, he would comply.

As the young man named Ye Xingchen greeted the four directions, the atmosphere slowly returned to silence, and one could hear a pin drop.

He suddenly sensed something and became solemn, his gaze turning towards Ye Xingchen below.

Is this person a descendant of Wan Cheng Cang?!

He had intended to draw his sword, but then decided to test the upgraded power of the Water Moon Domain instead.

The top level instantly became quiet.

"Yes," Sen Luo replied quickly.

You Chengkong suddenly shouted, "Everyone retreat! Stop the attack and withdraw immediately!"

One of them clapped their palms, creating an endless series of palm shadows that seemed to stretch infinitely, like an endless ocean and river.

The opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Wasn't he afraid of being targeted by Yue Huansha for this ambush later?

When the Eight Palaces were renamed the Nine Palaces, an elder from the Moon Ring once sighed, saying that with the Eight Palaces, their strength would increase by twenty percent.

Listening to Ji Jingqiu's description, Sen Luo shook his head and said,

"Are you two here to witness the ceremony?" Yue Huansha asked.

"It's a person's potential, an unfakeable essence, and the root of our strength. Only those who break through the True Seed Realm can cross that threshold!"

However, the initial stage of the breakthrough seemed boring to the onlookers, as they couldn't sense the earth-shattering changes within the practitioner. They could only wait for the final sign. Until a faint 'squeak' of a door opening was heard.

"Additionally, there is indeed a mysterious sensation. Some warriors, when they have a high probability of breaking through, will have a premonition."

Being regarded as a mortal enemy by a Forbidden Sequence warrior, even with the protection of other forbidden sequences, made it difficult to travel far on the Ancient Road.

Just then, a commotion erupted from below, and a severely injured warrior from the Moon Palace rushed to the top level, shouting, "We're under attack!"

On the top level, the strong warriors of the Moon Ring also had cold expressions as they confronted the attackers from all sides.

"A Neutral City can serve as a trading and recruitment hub, but it's not suitable as the base of a power..."

The woman's eyes became even more serious, "So, you're a disciple of the Great Crimson Heaven Sovereign. No wonder you've reached the Forbidden Sequence at such a young age. Yue Huansha greets you."

Why did a pool of autumn water emit a tidal sound like thunder?

In other words, the only difficulty in crossing the forbidden threshold now lies in—the Dark Sea Black Mist? "I plan to give it a try," Ji Jingqiu said softly, "Ah Sen, I need your help."

The last person had the most formidable aura, surrounded by electric light like a battle armor woven from lightning. His gaze was piercing, with golden crosses in his eyes and hair that stood on end without any wind, a rare sign of a pupil technique!

"Let's go. I'll introduce you to a few capable individuals in the alliance."

This represented a plane's complete descent into ruin.

Even the Thousandth Senior Brother of the Nine Palaces had never mentioned it to him, as he had already broken through the forbidden sequence.

When they saw him, many warriors nodded in greeting, and if the timing had been better, many would have invited Ji Jingqiu for a drink and to get to know him.

Everyone fell silent, their faces filled with horror, as they witnessed a warrior about to officially step into the forbidden threshold, dying quietly without a sound, his body disappearing without a trace!

This boasting was meaningless. No matter how hard he tried, if he didn't become a forbidden sequence in a day, it was all for nothing, just working for this bastard.

"What's wrong?"

"Damn it! We've lost big this time, and the bad guys did it for nothing... If we knew the Dark Sea Black Mist had already invaded the Ancient Road, we wouldn't have attacked!"

At this moment, dozens of masked warriors had reached the top level, their bodies stained with blood and their killing intent palpable. One of them shouted, "Don't let him break through the final threshold, or the Moon Ring will have two forbidden sequences, and we'll have no chance on the Ancient Road!"

This scene alone drew the attention of those around Ji Jingqiu.

Hearing this, one of the witnessing warriors frowned but remained still, while another stood up to assist the Moon Ring.

"You Chengkong, after this battle, I will not rest until you're dead," Yue Huansha said, her voice as cold as ice.

"The opponent is from the Moon Ring of the Southern Wilderness Continent."

The black mist was faint, much lighter than what he had encountered before, but it was undoubtedly the Dark Sea Black Mist. Even from a distance, it instilled a sense of great terror.

The disciples of the Nine Palaces, from the outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, and finally, the core disciples.

"There will definitely be a chance," Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

Sen Luo looked up at Ji Jingqiu.

Seeing this, Sen Luo cautiously took a step back, giving the space to the 'big brother'.

What a difference a single character made in the name, thought Ji Jingqiu.

Like him, she had entered the Divine Sojourn, and in his eyes, a divine ring seemed to encircle her, unlike an ordinary person. This was a fusion of divinity and the law.

He hadn't planned to help the Moon Ring.

Ji Jingqiu spoke with gravity.

"According to ancient records, as long as the true self is strong enough to resist the black mist's corrosion, it should be enough. But no one can explain how to resist it, not even those who have broken through the forbidden sequence."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "That's fair enough."

"This brother, I apologize for any offense earlier. But please refrain from taking action! There's no room for two Forbidden Sequences on the Ancient Road. I'll handle this villain myself!"

"Go ahead."

"So some say that those who can cross into the Forbidden Sequence outside the Ancient Road have a true self that far surpasses the normal threshold of the Forbidden Sequence!"

Sen Luo's expression remained calm, unperturbed by the VIP treatment. He strode into the city with his head held high.

Sen Luo stopped the group from further conversation, citing the need to be on their way. He hurriedly pushed Ji Jingqiu and left.

The next moment, a fierce battle surrounding Ye Xingchen erupted.

Sen Luo cleared his throat, interrupting the two's clash, "I didn't expect it to be the Moon Saintess herself! This is my elder brother, Ji Jingqiu, from the Nine Palaces of the Yanhuang Continent."

"But the Dark Sea shouldn't be here on the Ancient Road! This is the last pure land of the previous epoch... Could it be that even this place has been eroded by the Dark Sea?"

Ye Xingchen's body trembled violently, and Yue Huansha's expression was shaken. She wanted to help but abruptly stopped in mid-air, daring not to interfere.

After Ji Jingqiu made his move, the battle in the field did not cease; instead, it intensified.

Once they were seated, Ji Jingqiu surveyed the onlooking warriors, numbering in the dozens or even hundreds.

"Speaking of which, what's that man's name?" Ji Jingqiu asked Sen Luo telepathically.

Hearing the familiar "keyword," Sen Luo suddenly recalled their first meeting and subconsciously asked, "What list?"

"Alright, we can talk about it later. In the next few days, I'll be going to the Qing Nang Plane with Brother Ji. You guys keep an eye on the news from that nameless small world during these days. It hasn't opened yet, and it's estimated to take at least half a month more."

Sure enough, he was the Forbidden Sequence of the Moon Ring.

Some time passed.

Indeed, in terms of the number of warriors on the Ancient Road, one in ten thousand was already considered an exceptional talent.

"It's just a list given by an elder."

While it was called a plane world, the Qing Nang Plane was only about the size of ten Tai'an Cities. However, the space here was exceptionally stable, and there had been no signs of collapse to this day.

A warrior from the same clan as Sen Luo had a gleaming gaze. He had heard Sen Luo mention that not long after entering the Ancient Road, he met a righteous and brave brother. Moreover, this brother's strength was quite impressive, and Sen Luo couldn't resist joining forces with him to journey together on the Ancient Road.

Yue Huansha glanced deeply at Ji Jingqiu again and said softly, "I look forward to crossing blades with Brother Ji in the future."

Once he officially breaks through, the Moon Palace, led by the Moon Ring, will become an unshakable overlord in Qing Nang City, and even in the Ancient Road, they will have the qualifications to become a dominant force.

But in the end, they had to admit that the young man who held a sword but did not use it and only relied on the Realm of Law to hold off the enemy was indeed extraordinary at this moment, no less than Yue Huansha.

Some people's hearts were pounding, fearing that Ji Jingqiu would join the battle at any moment. They cursed the three idiots for being brainless. Why provoke someone who hasn't even moved an inch?! "So cool!" said an outgoing and even fiery woman in the field, her eyes lighting up.

Over the next two days, Sen Luo went out to meet an "old friend," while Ji Jingqiu, having no interest, directly toured Qing Nang City, experiencing the local culture.

Ji Jingqiu knew that the formation of a powerful force not only relied on top-tier warriors but also required a professional decision-making team.

Led by Sen Luo, several high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon Alliance finally met their boss.

Ji Jingqiu asked from the side, "How did you, from the Southern Wilderness Continent, cross into the Forbidden Sequence?"

The woman, sensing Ji Jingqiu's gaze, glanced at him. It was supposed to be a fleeting glance, but she stopped in her tracks, unable to look away.

One of them pointed like a sword, and the sword energy transformed from their force was unstoppable, surpassing the Heavenly Sword Dao Canon that Ji Jingqiu had come into contact with.

The woman looked deeply at Ji Jingqiu and said softly, "Thousands of years ago, the Eight Palaces were renamed the Nine Palaces. May I ask which palace this friend is from?"

Sen Luo was speechless and muttered, "If someone paves the way for us, we'd be more than happy. But when someone else breaks through, it's too ruthless to cause destruction. We can't do that!"

Sen Luo replied in a low voice, "When I break through, I must find a place without people and ask you to protect me!"

After saying this, he said solemnly, "When I break through, I must find a place without people and ask you to protect me!"

With that, he declared, "When I break through, I must find a place without people and ask you to protect me!"

At this point, Ji Jingqiu remained calm, unyielding, and unmoving, like a deeply rooted tree on a cliff, unshakable. Yet, a small world suddenly appeared around him, suppressing his opponents.

He was sure he hadn't mistaken; it was clearly the prototype of the Water Moon Dojo that Wan Cheng Cang had displayed a thousand years ago! Although there were some discrepancies in the details compared to the ancient books, the overall technique was correct!

"It's like playing house..."

This demonstrated the power of the Great Crimson Heaven Sovereign! Moreover, the name of the Great Crimson Heaven Sovereign was still listed in the top hundred of the Far East War Zone's Eternal Monument!

"Get out of the way!"

This all-out attack was enough to subdue a Vassal King-level warrior. But the approaching warrior was unfazed. He remained unmasked, and as his eyes opened and closed, purple light swirled within, and dazzling golden light burst from his body, sacred like fire, resisting a round of silver moon pressure.

Yue Huansha's personal appearance was originally to try to rope in Sen Luo, who was from the same Southern Wilderness Continent and ranked in the top thirty of this generation's Forbidden Sequence.

"Impossible! The Dark Sea can't invade the Ancient Road! Why has it changed this time?!"

Their clash had already surpassed the level of the Divine Journey Realm; this was the might of divine abilities! They had both stepped into the Divine Journey Realm and could now display the power of their divine abilities!

Sen Luo led the way, suddenly remembering something,

Zi Rixin was significantly older than them, and his warm and appropriate smile, along with his sincere gaze, gave off a very comfortable feeling. He was obviously very good at “being a person”.

Ji Jingqiu didn't move an inch, allowing the gust of force to brush past him. His expression was calm, and his clothes fluttered lightly.

Sen Luo had indeed accomplished a lot in just over half a month. He had successfully roped in two Vassal King-level warriors, including one from the Crystal Clan.

Sen Luo was still deep in thought, pondering how to face the Dark Sea's black mist and the help Ji Jingqiu had sought. He subconsciously replied:

"Playing house?" Sen Luo scoffed, "In the future, we'll be playing house with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people! Our alliance has already gathered over ten thousand members.
