Chapter 202: Sen Luo's Forbidden Breakthrough

Chapter 202: Sen Luo's Forbidden Breakthrough

Sen Luo only had limited knowledge about the permissions. His understanding came from an incident that occurred in the Southern Wilderness Continent ten thousand years ago, where someone had acquired the so-called permissions during the middle to later stages of the Ancient Road. However, he was unclear about the specific details.

The only thing he knew for certain was that all four of the current generation's Forbidden Celestial Prodigies in the Southern Wilderness Continent had come for these permissions.

"What do you need it for?" Ji Jingqiu shook his head. "Let's go in."

Ji Jingqiu had a vague guess about the nature of these permissions.

The essence of the Ancient Road was to select the most outstanding genius martial warriors.

Therefore, these permissions and quotas were obviously special rewards for the seed warriors.

Recalling his breakthrough in the cave, Ji Jingqiu believed that he had obtained the permissions not because of his Divine Journey, but because he had opened the first layer of the Divine Treasury before his breakthrough, taking a further step in the True Seed Realm.

Zhong Nan Master's voice was calm: "Where is Sen Luo?"

At that moment, Zhong Nan Master's eyes gleamed like electric sparks, and his body was enveloped in a hazy glow of runes, making him appear extraordinary and divine.

A subtle disturbance began to spread in the surroundings.

Most of the Forbidden Celestial Prodigies, as long as they didn't perish along the way, would rise to prominence.

That kind of loneliness at the pinnacle.

After resolving the matters of the Tian Luo Temple, he could focus on traveling the Ancient Road, actively seeking opportunities, and leaving the rear to Sen Luo's care after refining the remaining two Spirit Energies.

Even the clear light of the Bodhi Tree couldn't suppress the Black Mist of the Dark Sea. When they clashed before, the result was mutual annihilation rather than one-sided suppression, indicating that their powers were essentially of the same nature.

As he had expected.

Finally, the black mist suddenly parted, splitting into two and revealing a path leading deep inside.

Ji Jingqiu had always believed that his innate divine ability could suppress the Black Mist of the Dark Sea because, at his birth, it had merged with the Wisdom Light, undergoing a strange transformation that transcended its original nature, ultimately taking the Heart Fire as its flame and the Wisdom Light as its root.

"Pass the word. Gather everyone. This time, we will completely remove the Sun and Moon Alliance to enhance the reputation of the Tian Luo Temple. From now on, Void Vessel City will be under the control of the Tian Luo Temple."

Even if he wasn't strong enough to rival those who had stepped into the forbidden realm outside the Ancient Road, he now had the strength to put up a fight.

Hearing these words, Sen Luo didn't hesitate: "Leave it to me. Recently, the Tian Luo Temple has been targeting us. I'll take action personally and lure Zhong Nan Master out!"

"An ancient castle?"

Sen Luo's aura suddenly changed, surging higher and higher until it broke through an invisible boundary, merging with the heavens and earth, becoming vast and boundless, yet also deep and heavy.

Sen Luo's transformation was complete, and he felt a faint joy in his heart, peaceful and serene, but mostly lonely.

Involving his foundation for enlightenment, he couldn't suppress the surging emotions within.

"There's a mountain range in that direction. Deep inside, there's a post-heavenly creation land. According to the naming in the Southern Wilderness Continent, it's called 'Floating Cloud Boat,' derived from 'The vast land is like a small space, and the sea of clarity is like a floating cloud boat.' It should have been created by the former owner of this plane."

Sen Luo chuckled: "If the guy hiding in the shadows really chooses to ambush me at this time, we'll be able to move in there in a couple of days! Crossing the forbidden threshold with the Black Mist of the Dark Sea, even if it's a Heart Image, it will have to go through a tribulation like me. This thing judges people! Even Heavenly Beings face the risk of falling!"

Qin Qingjue of the Federation, Ke Pingluan, and Ji Anquan of the Ji family were all Archduke-level in the Great Universe, but whether they could make further progress after entering the Nine Provinces was uncertain.

As soon as he stepped into the plane, Sen Luo's expression changed: "Wait, didn't you say there's a Heart Image and even a Heart Image creature inside?"

"Did Ye Xingchen from the Moon Ring fail in his breakthrough?" Zhong Nan Master shook his head. "Taking a shortcut isn't that easy. But the news of the Ancient Road being invaded by the black mist isn't good."

A brilliant golden glow blossomed within his body, and he took a step forward, evolving his innate divine ability into a dazzling sea of light. His figure was submerged in the brilliance, making him appear vague and sacred.

"I didn't say me." Ji Jingqiu's gaze locked onto the ancient castle in the distance. "You go and find a way to lure the people from the Tian Luo Temple, and I'll figure out how to draw out the guy inside the castle. We'll 'join forces' with the Tian Luo Temple and take care of the person inside."

Martial warriors who fell behind in the early stages would need either an extremely powerful creation opportunity or a path that allowed them to accumulate strength over time if they wanted to rise again later.

The man who had served him for many years was excited: "Congratulations, Young Master, on the minor success of your Heavenly Demon Body, laying the foundation for your Great God Body!"

Under the radiant light of the Heart Lamp within his body, the mist ahead avoided him like snakes and scorpions! It wasn't mutual annihilation but avoidance!

Even if he returned, the gradually thickening mist didn't surge back but instead boiled intensely in place.

No, not some pie in the sky, but their own brilliant future!

He slowly stood up, his gaze as deep as a young supreme.

Was that the true core of this plane?

Half a day passed.

Ji Jingqiu walked towards the depths of the black mist, and with his power alone, the entire mist began to retreat. The mist deepened, and a terrifying aura emanated from within, as if something was brewing, but Ji Jingqiu paid it no heed and continued forward until he reached the halfway point and stopped.

What he had planted wasn't flower seeds but tree seeds.

My brother is so amazing! When Ji Jingqiu returned, Sen Luo hurriedly approached him to ask about his well-being:

Having been dragged into the plane by Ji Jingqiu, Sen Luo still felt a bit dazed. Although he hadn't known Ji Jingqiu for long, this guy had repeatedly shattered his understanding.

"Big Brother, you're amazing! What divine ability is this?!"

As he channeled his power, the light slowly expanded, enveloping him entirely, and then he reached out towards the black mist ahead.

"Does it really work?!"

Sen Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly spoke up, "How could I possibly fight you? No way, absolutely not!"

Sen Luo's mental cultivation was only at the initial stages of stability, but his skill in manipulating Heart Spirit Power was no less than Ji Jingqiu's, a talent derived from his racial divine ability.

...

Many shattered planes in the Ancient Road had shown similar traces, and ancient sages had already speculated that the destruction of these planes was related to the black mist's erosion.

Just like facing that young master from the Tianluo Palace! Zi Rixin suddenly held his breath, his heart pounding. Could Sen Luo have broken through?! No...

Ji Jingqiu speculated that the powerful being, possibly a Shackles Realm creature, or even a Heart Image, might be hiding in the ancient castle.

Sen Luo took a deep breath, gazing at the faint black mist in the depths of the plain, and nodded firmly, "Let's go, let's give it a try!"

But Ji Jingqiu felt differently.

"Indeed, this is a great place. Seeing is believing. No wonder the light here is the brightest I've seen so far, surpassing many confirmed Shackles Realm beings."

Sen Luo rubbed his hands together, "I'll rest for a while, and then I'll attempt the breakthrough!"

After a glance at each other, Sen Luo closed his eyes and began his final push.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze pierced through the faint black mist, revealing a majestic ancient castle standing at the end of the horizon.

Most importantly, Sen Luo himself was very interested in building a power!

The contract was limited to the duration of the Ancient Road, and even after leaving it, the followers and supporters of He Xianbei still regarded him as their leader.

Void City.

Zhongnan Master put down the ancient jade with divine ability secrets engraved on it and stood up, saying:

Ji Jingqiu looked at the delighted person beside him, speechless.

By merging the advantages of two paths in the True Seed Realm, he took a significant step forward, taking a unique step on his own path.

Ji Jingqiu surveyed the scene with interest.

These were two completely different concepts! Sen Luo couldn't help but take a step forward, gazing at the surging black mist behind him. He made room for it, allowing it to envelop a position. Sen Luo chuckled, continued forward, and delved deeper into the mist, advancing several meters.

In his eyes, this place was no longer a sacred land but a cursed land filled with traps! Sen Luo sighed, "Speaking of the environment, if this place were outside, it would be considered a sacred land. Even Overlord-level powers would fight for it, incorporating it into their foundation. It's a pity that a ferocious beast lurks here, making it difficult for us to confront it for now.

Zhongnan Master whispered, "It's still far from enough. To dominate the Ancient Road, you must master a great divine ability..."

"But you've already been inside, what are you worried about now? Young man, don't be timid. Be bold and take risks."

"In this battle, I will personally lead the charge and slay Sen Luo beneath my battle spear."

For him, breaking through the threshold was challenging, but it was an 80-20 situation. The real trouble lay in the trials during the breakthrough!

Of course, both of the above were extreme examples.

"Young Master, it seems Sen Luo has sensed our movements and sent the main warriors of the Sun and Moon Alliance to that plane world. He seems to want to forcefully seize it. In recent conflicts, Sen Luo took the initiative and severely injured one of our Apex Archdukes."

With this, as long as one reached the qualifications to challenge the forbidden, with the assistance of his divine ability, one could ignore the erosion of the dark mist.

Unfortunately, among those he knew, only Feng Wu from the Nine Palaces had reached this standard.

"He's already gone to that plane world."

Sen Luo's expression turned solemn. Although this wasn't the Dark Sea Black Mist, it was equivalent to a branch of the black mist.

"I told you, you should trust me more. How could I betray you? Our journey on the Ancient Road has just begun, and even after leaving it, our path is still in its infancy. We still have a long way to go..."

Seeing that Zi Rixin remained silent, Sen Luo turned to look at him. In the depths of his dark eyes, there seemed to be an invisible vortex that could devour everything, including people's spirits and will.

Sen Luo now felt that something was amiss. In the silence, an endless killing intent seemed to lurk.

Ji Jingqiu's gentle admonitions were like a spring breeze, taking the opportunity to brainwash Sen Luo.

Sen Luo chose a good spot, rested, and adjusted for half a day, bringing his state to its peak.

"Big Brother, what's wrong?"

The two walked to the depths of the plain. One more step forward, and they would enter the area shrouded in black mist, as if a clear boundary separated this place.

Sen Luo stepped into the Forbidden Sequence, which would allow him to work even better!

Sen Luo's Heart Lamp paled in comparison to his brilliance, but it still retained some of the original's divine qualities, which was the most crucial aspect.

Ji Jingqiu observed from behind.

He had crossed the threshold of the forbidden, gaining a critical transformation. Everything was different now, and the feeling was incredibly wonderful.

He turned back and looked down at his attendant, saying, "How's Sen Luo doing over there?"

To the right, mountains stretched endlessly, majestic and imposing. In the distance, clouds gathered at the peak, and a slender waterfall descended, shimmering with vibrant colors in the sunlight.

"Are you sure you want to stay here? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed?" Ji Jingqiu asked, referring to the unknown Shackles Realm creature hiding somewhere.

Upon entering the plane world...

...

He stared at the ancient castle in the depths of the plain for a long time before starting to return.

Wherever he passed, the black mist retreated, forcibly making room for his body.

Before his breakthrough, he had referred to Zhongnan Master as "that person." But after the breakthrough?

At this moment, the space around Sen Luo developed fine cracks, like a shattered mirror. Wisps of dark mist quietly seeped out, intertwining with Sen Luo's mental stance, infiltrating his body.

Crossing the threshold of the Forbidden Gate, the true Heavenly Gate, the journey truly begins.

Ji Jingqiu sensed the dense divine substance permeating the air, and prolonged rest here would bring immense benefits.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "Let's solve your problem first, then mine."

...

Seeing that he had a solid plan, Ji Jingqiu didn't stop him, and stood by to provide support.

This was a tranquil and serene land like a fairyland. Sen Luo, on his initial exploration, had taken a liking to this place at first sight.

A perfect worker, truly a gift from the heavens, Ji Jingqiu praised silently.

"What's wrong?"

He immediately acknowledged him as his father, not only because Ji Jingqiu helped him cross the Forbidden Gate, but also because Ji Jingqiu's divine ability contained an "Infinite Future".

It was this connection that laid the foundation for his future dominance over the southern region of the Nine Continents.

Witnessing this scene, Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment and said, "You've just broken through the Forbidden, and you need a suitable opponent to practice with, to help you understand yourself..."

Fortunately, Sen Luo still had his wits about him and didn't delve too deep. After taking a few steps forward, he quickly turned back and grabbed Ji Jingqiu's shoulders, his eyes filled with excitement as he shook him vigorously.

Recently, news from Qing Nang City reached Void Vessel City, and the person from the Moon Ring who had verified the Ancient Road anomaly with his life confirmed that the Ancient Road fog had invaded this place.

At the threshold of Near Forbidden, he had stayed for half a year.

After that, he only needed to regularly obtain intelligence and resources from the Realm of Law.

Ahead, a vast and boundless plain unfolded, serene and harmonious, like a quiet and distant scroll. A gentle breeze from afar caressed the grass.

After just a few days apart, Zi Rixin felt that Sen Luo's temperament was completely different from before, as if he had undergone a crucial transformation, giving him a new feeling.

Sen Luo's body suddenly radiated a gentle light, like the rising sun, neither hurried nor slow, yet carrying an irresistible force that dispelled the darkness and gloom within and around him. He bathed in the sacred radiance, his expression calm, his demeanor becoming steady and profound. An astonishing transformation slowly unfolded within him, granting him unprecedented insights.

An excited voice came from ahead, and Sen Luo looked at his outstretched right hand in disbelief.

Sen Luo ignited the lamp core by operating his divine ability, and a gentle lamp glowed within him, initially just a faint light like the crescent moon.

The Purple Crystal Clan was a first-class civilization, and in terms of bloodline inheritance, they had already reached the peak in the world. Compared to top-tier civilizations, first-class civilizations lacked in foundation and the number of powerful individuals, not in inheritance.

...

Sen Luo's eyes changed from deep as the sea to clear as water.

Tian Luo.

Ji Jingqiu keenly noticed something amiss and looked up.

At this moment, even though Sen Luo was a Near Forbidden, and the Purple Crystal Clan's top Celestial Prodigy of this generation, he was still willing to be a willing follower of someone who painted a future for him.

He had just turned around to say something when he saw Ji Jingqiu walking towards the black mist.

He had already heard of the Tian Luo Palace's 'Sen Luo's Hellish Heavenly Demon Body' and was eager to learn a few moves!

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He indeed didn't know what the permissions represented, and the Purple Crystal Civilization wasn't qualified to access it. Even the several dominant forces in the Southern Wilderness Continent might not be clear, only those who had access and knowledge of the inner workings knew the truth, so it must be something extraordinary.

Feeling the transformation in Sen Luo, Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

And even a relatively ordinary seed might not be able to blossom into a dazzling flower.

These past few days, he had completed the transformation of the Divine Journey Realm and was in the process of elevating his racial divine ability.

The originally calm and peaceful mist ahead, as if sensing something, was pulled by an unseen force and began to churn violently, like waves in the ocean, enigmatic and unpredictable.

With the appearance of this strand of black mist.

But even in the Divine Journey Realm, there was still a chance to supplement one's foundation, just like He Shuai did in the past.

If Ji Jingqiu's Mind Lamp could truly resist the invasion of the black mist...

Ji Jingqiu tried to comprehend the application of Heart Electricity Power between these two stances.

He examined Sen Luo in front of him and finally nodded in satisfaction.

But after hearing from Ji Jingqiu that a powerful being, possibly a Mind Image, was lurking here,

Ji Jingqiu stood by as a symbolic support, watching as the purple crystal between this person's eyebrows emitted a colorful, seven-colored light. A pure Heart Electricity Power expanded and formed an invisible barrier, separating Sen Luo from the outside world.

He opened his eyes, and as his pores relaxed, he seemed to merge with heaven and earth, able to perceive a more delicate Principle of Law, a feeling that originated from the elevation of his true self.

In his eyes at this moment, even Ji Jingqiu's Three-Blade Oath wasn't that significant, but he chose to temporarily let it go and wouldn't challenge Ji Jingqiu here, giving Ji Jingqiu the respect he deserved...

A True Seed not reaching the Forbidden Realm didn't mean it would definitely lose to those who had entered the Forbidden in later stages. This realm represented an extraordinary foundation, but it didn't guarantee a dazzling bloom.

"How's the plan execution going?" Sen Luo asked, his eyes deep as he clasped his hands behind his back.

After confirming that Sen Luo had broken through, Ji Jingqiu prepared to do some testing.

Ji Jingqiu spoke earnestly, not giving him a chance to back out, and kicked him in.

A True Seed reaching the Forbidden had no further direction to go, and he had reached his brother's former realm.

Zi Rixin suddenly snapped back to his senses and hurriedly said, "It should be working. They've started mobilizing their forces, and Tian Luo Palace doesn't have a Near Forbidden. Even if that person doesn't want to take action, once you kill a few Apex Archdukes, that person will eventually make a move."

Sen Luo nodded slightly and said, "I'll personally welcome Zhong Nan Lord."

Zi Rixin's heart skipped a beat. This person was directly calling that person by name. Had he truly broken through? The next chapter should be an extra update, probably tomorrow morning.
