“The person from the Demon Tribe is very strong. I’m not confident I can keep it here. If I make a move and fail to capture it, then I’ll be completely exposed, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“And besides, you have a golden parasitic seed within you. What do I need to worry about?”
Old Yuan said dismissively.
With the parasitic seed present, Old Yuan did not believe Qin Chen could be possessed again.
“Forget it. Let’s not think about that too much. Next, we should consider how to leave this place.”
Qin Chen forced a bitter smile. Although he had entered the forbidden area outside the Ji family, it didn’t mean he was safe. At that moment, outside, the Ji family ancestors and others must be watching vigilantly, wanting to survive and leave was still as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
“However, I didn’t expect that Wu Xue’s attainments in the formation would reach this level.” Qin Chen marveled at the Heavenly Universe Life and Death Wheel formation that enveloped the entire forbidden area. Even he himself might not necessarily be able to set up such a formation now. Of course, in this life, after absorbing the formation techniques of the Demon Tribe, his understanding of formations might not be inferior to Ji Wu Xue's.
However, every field has its specialists. At least in this Heavenly Universe Life and Death Wheel formation, Qin Chen prided himself on not being as good as Ji Wu Xue.
“Why did Wu Xue seal the Ji family's forbidden area back then? Also, clearly obtaining the Fusion Dao Grass, why not place it within the Ji family but instead put it on the so-called Dao Mountain? Did he discover something?”
Qin Chen murmured, with too many questions, he couldn’t figure out the reasons. Perhaps only Ji Wu Xue knew the answers.
Lost in thought, Qin Chen arrived in front of the stone door of the Ji family’s forbidden area. The stone door was engraved with complex carvings, and just standing there, a suffocating aura rushed toward him.
The Ji family’s forbidden area had always been one of Qin Chen’s greatest curiosities. In his previous life, although he had obtained a few drops of spiritual liquid from the Ji family’s forbidden area, he had never entered it. Did he have a chance to go in this life?
Qin Chen activated the Qian Kun Creation Jade Disc. With a hum, an invisible spatial power flashed, and then a figure appeared before him.
It was Ji Ru Yue!
“Qin Chen, I was so worried about you just now!”
Ji Ru Yue hugged Qin Chen tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Earlier, while watching everything from the Qian Kun Creation Jade Disc, her heart was actually even more anxious than Qin Chen’s. If possible, she would rather Qin Chen not come to save her than to risk his safety.
In fact, if she could exchange her life for Qin Chen’s safety, she would do so without hesitation.
“It’s fine, I’m okay now, right?” Qin Chen smiled bitterly as he stroked Ji Ru Yue’s hair. “Ru Yue, do you see where this is?”
“This is…” Ji Ru Yue turned around, sensing the stone door in front of her. “Such a familiar feeling.”
“This is the forbidden area of your Ji family.” Qin Chen smiled.
Ji Ru Yue was astonished. “This is the forbidden area?”
“Yes.” Qin Chen smiled and said, “The Ji family’s forbidden area is said to have been discovered by the Ji family’s ancient ancestors, developing this place into the ancestral land of the Ji family and also serving as the mission the Ji family protects. In the past, any top-tier genius from the Ji family had the qualification to enter the forbidden area for a baptism, and anyone who underwent the baptism would have their abilities comprehensively enhanced. However, for nearly two hundred years, this place has been sealed by Ji Wu Xue, and no one has been able to enter since.”
“Wu Xue’s great-grandfather?” Ji Ru Yue’s eyes flashed as she gazed at the stone door in front of her. Suddenly, a vast aura rushed toward her, and Ji Ru Yue’s eyes seemed to see an ancient starry sky, accompanied by a compelling sense of calling, which was transmitted from behind the stone door in an instant.
