Chapter 200: Some Birds Like to Fly into the Blade (8k) (Part 2)

Even if I plan to take an elite route and raise the bar for entry, the numbers will still break ten thousand."

Sen Luo: "..."

The person in charge of the reception immediately recognized Sen Luo, as he was quite well-known among the younger generation in the Southern Wilderness Continent.

She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but her aura was unique, giving off a cold vibe, not the kind of coldness that was aloof or icy, but rather a noble and otherworldly charm akin to a celestial fairy. Her aura was exceptional, exuding an air of transcendence.

From the moment he embarked on the Ancient Road, no one on this path was supposed to be able to make him yield.

As the Moon Ring was the dominant force in the Southern Wilderness Continent, it was natural that they had comprehensive information about the top young warriors from various tribes.

A bright moon rose from where the sky met the water, casting dappled shadows on the bamboo, and the autumn pond reflected the moonlight, creating a surreal scene as if two moons coexisted in the heavens and earth, ethereal and dreamlike.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Senluo paced back and forth, eventually letting out a low roar:

But unexpectedly, there was also a surprise 'joy'.

"Aren't they all the same? The forbidden trials examine a person's entire being—mind, bloodline, physique, life potential, spiritual insights... all of these aspects merge together to form the mysterious true self!"

Yue Huansha stood by her junior, coldly watching as the intruders, who were already engaged in battle with their side, had reinforcements behind them.

Below, more warriors were continuously surging forward, already exceeding a hundred in number, all of them powerful. Many of the spectators in the arena were indirectly involved.

The fact that the Moon Ring Saintess took the initiative to show goodwill made them curious about her identity.

On the Moon Ring's side, aside from some warriors, many were fighting while retreating, showing no intention to fight to the death. In contrast, the attackers were not only ruthless in their attacks but also harsh on themselves, and their teamwork was impeccable.

Soon after, someone knocked lightly on the door and entered.

In the middle was Yue Huansha and a young man with a dignified bearing.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at them with calm eyes.

"The relationships between various factions in the outside world will still be brought into the Ancient Road."

"Impossible... impossible!"

In the corner, a purple-eyed man watched Ji Jingqiu's back, his eyes filled with suspicion and murderous intent.

"Rest assured, Moon Saintess!" Senluo patted his chest and said solemnly, "We're here only to observe, nothing else."

Many warriors shot him wary glances, especially those who had just attacked and besieged him.

Warriors from the Moon Ring invited the two to witness the ceremony.

"How is it? How is it? This Moon Ring Saintess, although not the most outstanding in appearance, has an exceptional aura and incredible strength. She's been listed by gossipers as one of the top ten beauties of our Southern Wilderness Continent!"

In the early days, Mu Yi casually mentioned it, and then he returned to the Great Universe, entered the Bosa Semi-Plane, and after witnessing the divine in martial arts, he smoothly passed this hurdle and entered the forbidden sequence.

"Great Crimson Heavenly Palace." Ji Jingqiu said calmly.

He had no intention of attacking, turned around, and left, muttering under his breath.

"Aren't you from the Nine Palaces? With your strength, you should be a leader among the younger generation there. Do you want me to send someone to collect the warriors of the Nine Palaces in your name?"

Four days later, the group arrived at the world where Qingnang City was located.

Senluo anxiously ran his hands through his hair:

...

The two exchanged glances across the distance, their auras intertwining, and an invisible clash instantly began in the arena, causing subtle ripples in the air like hidden currents beneath the water.

This was indeed VIP treatment.

Everyone took a deep breath and silently retreated.

Ji Jingqiu was a bit surprised; in such a short time, he had already gathered a team of over a hundred people?

...

Although they only imitated three or four images, why was their might twice as strong as theirs?

Two days later, at noon,

The only thing that puzzled them was—

The situation here was similar to that of Void Vessel City.

Everyone's gaze was intense, leaning forward, holding their breath and focusing, afraid of missing the moment of change.

Along the way, the scenery was surreal and bizarre. Sometimes, they could even see the faint 'pop' sound as a bubble representing a plane shattered.

In the midst of the sudden loud shouts, several figures darted from behind, choosing to break through from Ji Jingqiu's side, aiming straight for Ye Xingchen.

Along the way, Senluo kept chattering.

Ji Jingqiu was a bit disappointed; the opponent wasn't on the list, which meant he wasn't an old acquaintance of He Xian or an enemy, but just a passerby.

According to his knowledge, the Federation had sent only a few hundred people this time, but they were all strong. Even if placed in the Nine Palaces, they would be at least true disciples who had received the core teachings.

Everyone who heard this couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Ji Jingqiu was speechless; this kid was a bit too cautious.

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "So, are you planning to cause trouble?"

"Is this Ji Jingqiu?"

The next moment, several warriors were struck as if by lightning. After entering the Realm of Law, they faced attacks similar to but not the same as their own offensive methods, like a mirror reflection!

"This is Zi Rixin, currently in charge of the alliance's daily operations. This guy is capable, and inviting him was one of my best decisions."

Yue Huansha spoke softly, "Friends, please excuse us. The Moon Palace will repay your kindness today."

"Obviously, the Moon Ring isn't entirely made up of their own people. Why should they exert their full strength when the opponents are clearly from one or several factions? They were their own people before entering the Ancient Road, and it's highly likely that they're from a hostile faction of the Moon Ring."

Thinking about it, it seemed no one had ever told him how to pass through the forbidden threshold.

"Xiao Sen, you've worked hard." Ji Jingqiu offered encouragement.

Only by becoming a forbidden sequence warrior could he gain control over fifty percent of the alliance!

After him, You Chengkong and Yue Huansha also seemed to sense something, stopping their actions and staring intently at Ye Xingchen! Until a faint black mist slowly swirled around Ye Xingchen, carrying a sense of annihilation.

Watching the chaotic battle, Ji Jingqiu was surprised, asking quietly, "Why are these attackers so united, even more so than the Moon Ring's forces?"

But there were always birds that liked to fly into the blade.

Yue Huansha's beautiful eyes scanned the area, not surprised that these people hadn't defected yet.

Senluo took a deep breath:

Ji Jingqiu watched closely.

The two walked straight into the depths of the city, directly found the Moon Palace's base, and stated their intentions.

This was a clear forbidden sequence! And it was achieved outside the Ancient Road! Senluo coughed, having previously set up the premise of Ji Jingqiu's arrival, but of course, he couldn't say he was forced into cooperation, so he slightly embellished the story.

Senluo said proudly, "I'm not someone who can't pass through this forbidden threshold. When I succeed, our Sun-Moon Alliance will have two forbidden sequences, enough to overlook the Ancient Road and become a dominant power!"

Upon seeing the visitor, Senluo's face lit up, and he stood to greet him, slightly excited:

According to Senluo's description, in the distant past, there was no such thing as a forbidden tribulation when breaking through the forbidden threshold.

As Ji Jingqiu's pair of Bodhi eyes gazed upon the woman before him, the vastness of the Ancient Road remained unchanged despite the Boundary River serving as a transit point between countless shattered planes. According to records, there were dozens of famous neutral cities and planes scattered across the Ancient Road, each with its unique charm.

"Is this the Mirror Reflection Technique?" Ji Jingqiu exclaimed in surprise.

Senluo suddenly felt a bit deflated.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Xingchen's breakthrough.

The Ancient Road offered diverse landscapes, but Ji Jingqiu didn't see the giant whale he had encountered before.

As wisps of black mist swirled around, Ye Xingchen's body transformed into fine sand, leaving behind only a set of clothing where he once stood. The sand, along with the black mist, disappeared without a trace.

"I haven't heard of it in my clan's records, but anything is possible on the Ancient Road. It's not just the giant whale; any mythical creature could appear," Ji Jingqiu explained.

Several indigenous tribes guarded the city, and many warriors resided within. The largest training group in the city was the Moon Ring, led by the Moon Palace.

Ji Jingqiu remained silent.

"Moon Saintess..." he finally said.

Ji Jingqiu followed, and the owner of the Moon Palace naturally rose to greet them, not sitting idly by.

According to Ji Jingqiu, he hailed from a commercial civilization, and his family's motto was to treat others with sincerity and integrity.

"By the way, you mentioned a warrior from the Southern Wilderness Continent who would soon break through the Forbidden Threshold. Which civilization and faction does he belong to?" Ji Jingqiu inquired.

As the trio's offensive approached, their fierce and valiant auras stirred up a powerful wind.

A woman walked towards them, her appearance as pure as the moon, clad in a silver robe that accentuated her icy beauty. Her skin glowed with a subtle silver moonlight.

The three warriors attacked with full force, showing no restraint. Even if they were to retreat now, the best outcome for their opponents would be severe injuries!

"Hmm, let me check if she's on the list..." Ji Jingqiu glanced at him and patted his shoulder. "Beauty will only hinder your progress."

At that moment—

"In that case, please ask the two of you to wait for two more days. My junior has chosen noon in two days, and any requests can be made directly to the attendants," Yue Huansha said softly.

Ji Jingqiu nodded. "I had the same thought. But it's not just the Nine Palaces; there's also the Yanhuang Federation. You can arrange for them later."

Senluo solemnly introduced the only Marquis-level warrior among them. Although not the most powerful, this warrior excelled in managing daily affairs with utmost propriety, ensuring smooth operations.

They were led to the top floor of a building, where they could rest. In front of them was a beautifully carved railing, accompanied by an ancient stone table and several stone stools. The gentle breeze carried the scent of herbs, and from this vantage point, they could see the well-arranged buildings below, offering a magnificent view.

"Was this how you felt when you chose to break through?" Senluo asked.

At that moment, Senluo's face turned grim. They had placed their hopes on the Ancient Road, but now, that hope seemed shattered.

"Ah... yes, that's right," Senluo replied.

They returned to their residence.

The style of Qingnang City differed from Void Vessel City, which blended modern elements with ancient touches. Qingnang City, on the other hand, embraced a fully ancient aesthetic. Many of the buildings along the way were made of wood, a specialty of the Qingnang Plane, known for its imperishable wood that exuded a pleasant fragrance.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the high platform, causing everyone present to gasp. The overwhelming pressure made it difficult for many warriors to breathe! The arrival of this figure immediately prompted Yue Huansha to take action.

"Kill!" The woman's lips parted, uttering a chilling command.

Her strength surpassing Senluo's!

Given the time constraint, the two decided to embark on their journey that very night.

"Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, there might be people from the indigenous tribes of Qingnang City among them. For them, a warrior on the verge of breaking into the Forbidden Sequence is invaluable, even in death!" Ji Jingqiu added.

"This is a lesson from the past!"

"Ye Xingchen."

Throughout the Federation's history, many factions had similar overall strength, but their ultimate fates differed greatly. The key lay in their daily operations and decision-making.

The two set off for another famous neutral city, Qingnang City, which took them four days to reach.

As Yue Huansha left, Senluo heaved a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle,

Usually, any faction with an Archduke-level warrior would treat them as core disciples, providing the best treatment.

The former glanced at him, nodding slightly as a gesture of respect from a fellow peer.

The latter's cold demeanor now carried a hint of murderous intent.

"According to ancient records, breaking into the Forbidden Sequence didn't require a test in the past. However, everything changed after the appearance of the Dark Sea. If one's true self can't withstand the Dark Sea's corrosion, they will be engulfed by the black mist, and even their physical body will perish," Ji Jingqiu explained.

The three attackers spat blood and were knocked back, with one of them falling to his knees, overwhelmed by the pressure as if a mountain were pressing down on him. This scene instantly drew the attention of those nearby, even though the top floor was already in chaos.

They politely invited the two inside, contrasting with the commotion around them.

Yue Huansha had just suppressed the three attackers with her Realm of Law, demonstrating strength far beyond that of other warriors. She glanced at the Realm of Law surrounding her, momentarily stunned by its power.

A man named You Chengkong paid no heed to the commotion and instead looked at Ji Jingqiu with contempt. "So, you're the one who wants to break through the Forbidden Threshold?"

"The giant whale on the Ancient Road?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

The location was the top floor of a tower, as large as a football field. The Moon Ring had already prepared a VIP seat for them.

As the wisp of black mist appeared, Senluo's face paled. Not only him, but all the invited warriors present were shocked, finding it hard to believe that the age-old "rule" was being overturned!

"Break through, Ah Sen," Ji Jingqiu said sincerely. "I'm ready."

Senluo nodded subconsciously.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized that Ji Jingqiu had just suggested he break through the Forbidden Threshold.

No, what kind of preparation are you talking about?! This chapter took a bit longer to write.

Let's take a break, have some food and sleep, and aim to catch up with the extra chapter for Big Brother Alliance Leader in the next two days.
