Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 279 Revealing Identity

"I was the first person to drink it, of course."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled, revealing very white teeth, like a young man. Although he was a man, he possessed an indescribable charm and extraordinary temperament.

This can be seen from the female Taoist disciple behind him, whose eyes gleamed with admiration.

One can imagine that if other young women were here and saw such a person, they would probably have the same expression, or even more so.

He was truly exceptional, standing in the mortal world yet appearing like a phoenix descending upon the world, looking down upon humanity, transcending the mundane.

Lin Fan secretly rejoiced, thankfully he was a man and this didn't affect him much, otherwise he would have been tempted too.

"Who else are there?" Lin Fan couldn't help but ask. Even though he knew a little about them, seeing was believing.

"The other eight are all prodigies from their respective eras, possessing extraordinary talents!"

The man in white looked very peaceful; to put it another way, he didn't resemble a dignified ruler of a forbidden area at all.

Then, he shook his head, looking very disappointed, and said, "What a pity, from the beginning of the Immortal Ancient Era to the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, all eight of them died."

"Then why are they all dead?" the puppy asked, looking at the cup of tea, a strange chill creeping over him.

The master of the penalty area turned his head and looked into the distance, as if reminiscing, with a sense of indulgence and endless regret.

After a while, he said, "Because they drank this cup of tea, they all died."

Lin Fan remained calm and thoughtful, realizing that the deaths of these individuals were not actually related to this cup of tea, but rather to their entry into the Boundary Sea.

However, the unsuspecting puppy got flustered and his heart skipped a beat. Although he hadn't actually drunk the tea, he had drunk it nonetheless.

"It's over, it's over, am I going to die here? But I still have something important to do, I can't perish here!" it cried out in despair.

Lin Fan was speechless and scolded, "You dead dog, be quiet and let the senior finish speaking."

However, it's no wonder the puppy reacted this way. Anyone would panic if they heard someone give them a "death notice."
"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist. Even if I die, let me die knowing why." The little dog sat up straight, wanting to be a ghost who knew the truth.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled at it, which dispelled some of his sadness. He further explained, "They drank this tea, diligently cultivated, embarked on this path too early, and died for various reasons."

"Phew, thank goodness, I'm not going to die immediately. I still have time to complete the task that Immortal King Wuzhong gave me." The puppy breathed a sigh of relief.

The others ignored it, but the white-clad man's pupils glowed, reflecting eight men and women who appeared one by one.

They seem to have stepped out of the long river of history, each one with unparalleled grace and charm; even their images are enough to make one's heart tremble.

Without a doubt, this was another being who had drunk tea and had been taught and received the Great Law by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Suddenly, the first man appeared. He was tall, with disheveled hair, and was majestic and strong, like a real dragon, containing explosive power.

"His name is Augu. He comes from the Chaos Clan in the early days of the Immortal Era. He is invincible and has never been defeated. I once taught him the Dragon-Slaying Heavenly Technique..." the white-robed man introduced.

The young man's body shimmered with a pale golden light, clearly indicating that he was a master of body cultivation, with firm and resilient skin.

Lin Fan was shocked to hear this. This was indeed a prodigy of his time. He wondered how his physical body compared to Lin Fan's.

Of course, he was also very interested in the Heavenly Skill passed down by the master of the penalty area, and the fact that he dared to name it "Fighting Dragon" gives us a glimpse into his intentions.

It should be known that the True Dragon is the leader of the Ten Fiends. This clan had a true Immortal King in the ancient times, and few dared to contend with it.

"After he became an immortal, he became extremely powerful and confident. He ignored my warnings and embarked on that path too early, resulting in his demise," the white-robed man sighed. The puppy, surprised and puzzled, seemed to realize something and asked, "Could he have gone to... that sea that only immortal kings can cross?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded, the scene changed, the young man disappeared, and a second figure appeared, this time a woman.

She was dressed in yellow, beautiful and alluring, extremely beautiful, but the way she looked at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was somewhat subtle.

This is not the gaze a disciple gives to their master; it is filled with undisguised affection.

Lin Fan instantly understood and couldn't help but praise him in his heart. This was a rebellious disciple trying to surpass his master! He was truly a role model for us all!

"Her name was Jin Zhen, and she came from the Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm. She had extremely high talent... but in the end, she still perished."

The man in white looked bitter and deeply saddened, his expression complex. He reached out to touch the woman in yellow's hair, but the touch vanished.

He sighed deeply, filled with endless regret.

Then, one figure after another appeared, men and women, each extraordinary, and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone introduced them one by one.

Furthermore, he passed on a great technique to each of his disciples, all of which were extraordinary. Although they had never heard of them before, they were enough to astound the world.

After all, this came from a Celestial King; how could it be simple?

Lin Fan was no longer calm, and neither was the puppy. It had heard of some of the techniques, which were created by outstanding figures who illuminated an era, and it was deeply moved.

This is enough to show that the master of the forbidden zone is a scholar of heaven and earth, who has lived for an extremely long time, even longer than the ancient immortals, and has a terrifying background.

However, when the last person appeared, Lin Fan's heart was stirred. This woman was too beautiful, with unparalleled charm that took his breath away.

In particular, a bright blue moon appeared, shining behind her head, making her appear otherworldly, like a fairy from the moon palace.

This is none other than the Fairy Qingyue!
"Her name is Qingyue. She comes from the human race and was the last disciple I taught during the Immortal Ancient Era," the man in white said.

The woman was stunningly beautiful and captivating. The blue moon behind her head illuminated the entire universe, making her appear like a deity, exactly like the person Lin Fan had seen in the mural.

At the same time, she also resembled Yuechan very much, both being beautiful, naturally gifted, and possessing an extraordinary and pure temperament.

The Fairy Qingyue was very peaceful. In the scene, even when facing the Lord of the Forbidden Zone in her previous life, she was very calm and composed, without joy or sorrow.

“This is a proud woman.” The man in white smiled.

Lin Fan nodded, indicating that he already understood. As they say, a proud and arrogant girl is fine if you coax her sometimes.

"It's a pity, he also died in the Immortal Ancient City!" The white-robed man's eyes dimmed again. A breeze blew by, and his sleeves fluttered, making him look somewhat desolate.

At this moment, Lin Fan and the puppy also fell silent, feeling the indescribable emotions of watching one disciple after another die, helpless and like an old man sending off his black-haired son.

"Senior, I'm the tenth person to drink this tea, right?" Lin Fan asked casually, showing no fear despite the deaths of the previous few.

Seeing his expression, the man in white smiled and nodded, saying, "After waiting for an entire era, we finally meet. You are the tenth person, and also the most special person I have ever met. Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The greatest dark upheaval in history is coming, and it will sweep across the heavens. No one can avoid it. Do you think you can escape it just because you're afraid?" Lin Fan said calmly.

"You seem to know quite a lot." The man in white was slightly surprised, then asked, "Are you related to the ancestral spirit?"

"I am her adopted son!" Lin Fan answered earnestly, golden willow branches wrapped around his arm—that was the Willow God Technique.
