Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 18: The Border Town Elders Are Shocked

"Yes, fairy. We were originally about the same age, but I don't know why it turned out like this. It would be better for us to die." said an old female classmate.

"Are you serious?" The girl looked shocked, then looked at Ye Fan, Fang Han and others with a shocked look.

"We were all in our teens and twenties. I wonder why it turned out like this?" Ye Fan said after looking at Fang Han, Pang Bo and Li Xiaoman.

The six people who had eaten the fruit showed no signs of aging. Ye Fan and Pang Bo had actually regained their youth, and the appearance of Lin Jia and her three daughters remained unchanged. The other students who had not eaten the strange fruit had all turned into old men and women, as if they had lost decades of time.

Obviously, the reason why the six people did not age was related to the strange fruit that the previous ones had eaten.

"Fairy, what's going on? How come Ye Zi and I have become younger? And why are these people getting older? Is it because of the forbidden area?" Pang Bo wondered.

"Have you ever eaten a crystal clear red fruit?"

Looking at Fang Han, the girl asked hurriedly. At this moment, the vague guess in her heart made her heart surge and difficult to calm down.

"Ah."

Fang Han nodded and chose to tell the truth. After all, there was nothing to hide.

"really!"

"My name is Weiwei, and I'm a disciple from the nearby Lingxu Cave Heaven. Come with me first, and I'll lead you out of this primeval forest!"

The young woman named Weiwei spoke, her fresh, bright eyes gazing at Fang Han and the other six with a burning excitement, as if they had discovered a priceless treasure. Those who could survive the ancient forbidden land could enter the realm of cultivation, and they were considered rare talents, sought after by many sects. And the six mortals who had tasted the sacred fruit and drunk from the divine spring had been transformed, truly transforming themselves. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them cultivation geniuses!
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl gently raised her hand, and a rainbow-like light enveloped everyone, slowly lifting everyone off the ground and standing alongside her.

"Maybe this is magic!"

“What a strange feeling!”
At that moment, everyone felt as if they were stepping on a rainbow, soft yet unable to fall, a truly wondrous sight. Enshrouded in the vibrant light, even the sound of the wind in their ears was almost completely silenced, as if it had a built-in soundproofing effect. The rainbow-like object gradually lifted them upward, level with the girl's body.

Seeing so many people's eyes glazed over, cloudy, and filled with despair, the girl felt a pity for them and offered solace, "I already know the reason for your aging. But this might be a good thing for you, as it will open up new opportunities for you. Besides, aging isn't something that can't be reversed."

"Is what the fairy said true? We just want to restore our appearance!" someone said. This is the voice of many people.

"Since Fairy Weiwei said so, there will definitely be a way in the future. After all, Brother Ye and Brother Pang have both regained their youth, so you may have a chance in the future too!" Fang Han said.

"Fairy Weiwei, are we going to the fairy palace over there?" Pangbo asked, pointing to the fairy palace in the distance. "Look! It's on that mountain. There are many palaces on it, and many cranes are flying around in it."

Hearing this, the girl's face showed a strange expression and she asked, "Have you all seen those fairy palaces?"

After receiving unanimous approval from everyone, the girl named Weiwei suddenly realized something and muttered to herself, "It's rumored that anyone who emerges from the ancient forbidden land will see vast celestial palaces. While this is true, it's a shame it's forever out of reach!"

Apparently, what these mortals said was true.

As if she had thought of something, Weiwei couldn't help but sigh, "The Ancient Sacred Land is a forbidden place. Since ancient times, countless people have entered to explore it, but without exception, all have died. Even a powerful sect, accompanied by imperial soldiers, would ultimately be destroyed, with the sect and its people dead. The most powerful among them would be reduced to 'slaves of the wilderness', bound to eternal life without freedom. It's incredible that you managed to emerge alive from the Ancient Sacred Land!"

"So scary!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, then filled with immense joy. Just like that, they followed Weiwei over mountains and valleys, flying for over an hour before finally reaching the edge of the ancient forest and landing on the edge of a small town.

"Thank you, Fairy Weiwei. If we hadn't met you, we might have died!"

"I never thought there would be so many terrifying beasts in the primitive wilderness. Fortunately, the fairy is here!"
Along the way, everyone was amazed to see many terrifying and ferocious beasts. There were giant silver pythons that were hundreds of meters long, saber-toothed tigers that were twenty to thirty meters long, and ferocious birds with wingspans of hundreds of meters. If they encountered them, they would probably not be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

At this moment, everyone was extremely grateful to Weiwei.

At this moment, the sky had completely darkened, but the town was brightly lit.

Weiwei's arrival seemed to have alarmed the town's important figures. Seven or eight divine rainbows shot up into the sky, heading towards them. Within each rainbow was a human figure.

"Weiwei is back!"

"Xiao Weiwei, have you found anything around the ancient forbidden land?"

"The commotion caused in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was too great. Someone saw a meteor falling in the direction of the Desolate Ancient Forest. The various major cave paradises nearby have sent many people to search for it. Did you encounter them?"

"Who are these mortals in strange attire?"

These people chattered in unison, all of them elderly, clearly the elder named "Weiwei." Soon, they followed Weiwei into an ancient, brightly lit hall in the town.

Weiwei answered the elders' questions calmly. When she heard an elder ask about Fang Han and the others, Weiwei said:

"I met these mortals near the Ancient Forbidden Land. They mistakenly entered the Ancient Forbidden Land and escaped from it."

"what!"

"Very good, very good. The sea of ​​suffering in these people's bodies has been activated. They are all good seedlings for cultivation!" An old man said with a smile.

Everyone else nodded.

In this world, if one wishes to embark on spiritual practice, the first step is to sense the location of the Wheel of Life and harness the energy within to activate and open the Sea of ​​Bitterness. This step has stumped countless people, some even well into their twenties still unable to open the Sea of ​​Bitterness, unable to embark on the path of cultivation. However, all of these individuals have activated the Sea of ​​Bitterness, essentially taking a shortcut in their practice, saving themselves countless hours of painstaking effort.

"No, how can these three people be so young? And these three girls, their lifespans don't seem to have run out! How is this possible?"

At this moment, all the old men showed shock on their faces.

"It is rumored that there are nine holy mountains in the ancient holy land. On the top of each holy mountain there is a unique divine fruit and a corresponding divine spring. If you obtain one, you can be reborn. Could it be..."

"But they are all mortals. How could they possibly get close to the forbidden area if they strayed into it?!"

"Furthermore, these people are dressed strangely and speak in a manner not typical of Eastern Wilderness. Could they be mortals from other realms who accidentally crossed into the Ancient Forbidden Land?"
The elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven were shocked, confused, and baffled. But one thing was certain: Weiwei had indeed found a treasure this time!
