Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 310 No Man's Land

A few days later, at the gate of the Butian Sect.

Dark clouds rolled in, the wind howled, and thunder rumbled. In the distance, a giant purple dragon appeared and disappeared among the clouds.

In an instant, it opened its eyes, which were blood red, like two large lanterns, and the souls of the cultivators below trembled.

Just then, from inside the gates of the Heaven-Mending Sect, an old man stepped out and asked, "Fellow Daoist Demon Dragon, what brings you here?"

"Your Patching Heaven Sect has gone too far, allowing that little devil to kill two of my sect's successors. You must give me an explanation today!" the purple dragon said, its voice like thunder.

"It's just a fight between juniors. Deaths and injuries are inevitable. With our cultivation levels, can't we just let it go?" The Lord of the Heaven-Mending Sect smiled.

"Hmph, you make it sound so simple..."

On the other side, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, Lin Fan inside the Patching Heaven Sect was quite relaxed, calmly drinking his wine.

"Brother, they've already come knocking on our door, why aren't you worried at all?" said Qingyang Tianshen, pacing back and forth.

"What's there to be in a hurry for? Do you think my Heaven-Mending Sect is afraid of the Demon Dragon Sect?" Lin Fan said calmly, downing the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Don't underestimate the Demon Dragon Sect. According to the sect leader, its founder has an extremely powerful and terrifying background, possibly no less than that of the Immortal Palace," Qingyang Heavenly God reminded him.

Lin Fan nodded. He was aware of this, as it was related to a few remnant immortals, but he remained calm and composed.

Because those four were already crippled after their battle with Kunpeng, and their injuries have not yet healed, they would not easily make a move.

Besides, his matter was nothing more than a minor squabble among the younger generation, not worth their attention, and certainly not enough to cause any trouble.

In fact, the reason why the leader of the Demon Dragon Dao Sect came was simply because he felt he had lost face. He would leave after making a scene for a while.

Sure enough, not long afterward, the sky cleared, the clouds dispersed, and peace returned.

"Brother, any news about the Sacred Tree?" At this moment, Lin Fan remembered something else and asked.

"You're going to take that step?" Uncle Yuechan asked in surprise.

"Absolutely!" Lin Fan nodded solemnly. In order to reach the ultimate realm and surpass others, he naturally had to embark on the most perfect path.

“That’s extremely dangerous. If you’re not careful…” said Qingyang the God, but then quickly shut his mouth.

Because this kid cannot be judged by common sense. The fact that an eighteen-year-old true god has cultivated three strands of immortal energy that no ancient freak has ever possessed proves everything.

Now, he is about to advance to the next realm, at which time he will be on equal footing with him, a god. It is truly astonishing!

Suddenly, he had a feeling that he was getting old.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Lin Fan shouted. The other person's strange expression and burning gaze gave him goosebumps.

Qingyang Tianshen snapped out of his daze, coughed awkwardly, and said, "According to ancient records, the Sage Wood, a rare treasure of heaven and earth, generally only grows in ancient immortal places, places imbued with the aura of immortals. I have never seen it in the Three Thousand Provinces."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. He knew about this too and had already inquired about it. He thought to himself, "Can't you tell me something I don't know?"

Well, judging from the other person's expression, he didn't know either, so he put down his wine glass and prepared to leave to ask someone else for advice.

"Wait, I think I remember there's a place with sacred wood. The location is recorded in a bone book in the sect."

Qingyang Heavenly God slapped his forehead, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly ran towards the Sutra Repository.

Half an hour later, he returned again, this time with a piece of pure white celestial bone in his hand. It was covered with runes and magical techniques, as well as inscribed characters.

It is said that this was left by a deceased elder of the Patching Heaven Sect, and his bones contain all that he has learned and seen and heard throughout his life.

"Legend has it that this elder possessed profound spiritual power and once ventured into the uninhabited area, where he discovered the Sacred Tree. However, sensing danger, he ultimately dared not approach, only observing from afar and recording his observations," said the Celestial God Qingyang. He also revealed a secret: the elder's demise was due to a terrifying encounter in the uninhabited area, leading to his untimely death.

"You'd better give up on this place. Even a cult leader would be in danger of dying if he stepped into it," he advised.

However, Lin Fan seemed determined that he had to take the path of the Sacred Sacrifice and obtain the Sacred Wood.

"I'm determined to go to the no-man's-land!"

Then, we asked about the specific location. Fortunately, the bone book recorded the approximate area, so it shouldn't be difficult to find it if we looked carefully.

However, we still cannot be careless. The no-man's-land is full of mystery and the unknown; it is a forbidden zone for life, and who knows what might happen.

Perhaps the elder was confused and remembered the wrong direction?
Moreover, after so many tens of thousands of years, it's uncertain whether the Sage Tree is still there!
Even so, Lin Fan's thoughts would not change, because in that forbidden zone, one's own strength was not necessarily the key to survival.

It is well known that nine out of ten cult leaders who entered the sect in the past died under the mysterious substance, such as a puddle of yellow mud or colorful water droplets, rather than living beings.

In addition, he has a powerful chaotic artifact by his side, which gives him a better chance of surviving if he encounters danger.

……

Three days later.

Lin Fan decided to set off. He was a man of action and didn't want to delay for too long. He couldn't wait to rise quickly and reach a higher level.

The realm of the Holy Sacrifice is also very special. If successful, one's strength can rival that of a god, and one will be revered as a god-king!

Of course, failure would be terrible; even if one survived, it would be worse than death, worse than even a true god.

However, Lin Fan was very confident that with the support of three strands of immortal energy, the success rate would greatly increase, and there was basically no possibility of failure.

"Brother, slow down, I'll go with you."

At this moment, before he had gone far from the Patching Heaven Sect, a call came from behind, and a figure flew over.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

“The no-man’s-land is too dangerous. I’m worried about you going alone, so I came here specifically to protect you,” Qingyang Tianshen said earnestly.

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't help but think that he hadn't made a mistake in choosing a brother...

Yuechan: Damn it, that's my great-uncle!
However, he knew that the place was fraught with danger and the environment was treacherous, often claiming the lives of heroes from all walks of life, so he advised, "No need, I can manage on my own."

However, to everyone's surprise, Qingyang Tianshen was very determined and insisted on following him to venture into the forbidden area.

“You are now a true god. If we encounter danger, having another god like me will greatly increase our chances of survival,” he declared confidently.

Actually, he was afraid that if something happened to Lin Fan, his niece Yuechan would blame him when she returned.

After all, it was he who told Lin Fan that there was a Sacred Tree in the No Man's Land.

At the same time, there was one more thing he didn't say: if the vice-leader, who was in seclusion, found out, he would be out of a job.

Lin Fan seemed to know what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything, saying, "Alright, but don't hold me back!"

"What a joke! How could I, a dignified god, become a burden to a true god?"

"That's not necessarily true..."
