Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 596 Re-entering the restricted area
A cross-shaped yin-yang land.

Lin Fan returned to this place and cast a spell that caused the void to crack open, with two great rivers flowing through them, where the power of the moon and the sun converged.

A vast expanse of chaotic energy descended from the void, revealing a portal within which he stepped in an instant.

This is a road with a surging energy field. If an ordinary cultivator were to walk on it, they would not be able to withstand it and would be crushed and shattered.

Even the most supreme beings in the human realm dare not easily venture in, because only beings who have transcended the extreme realm can pass through.

This can be seen as a test; those who lack potential will be eliminated.

However, Lin Fan was unharmed and walked lightly. Although this road was extraordinary, it could not stop an immortal.

He moved quickly and once again came to the forbidden zone of life. The ruins were still there, in the desolate Gobi Desert.

Deep within, there lay a snow-white, fragmented skull, belonging to the lord of this forbidden zone, giving Lin Fan a unique feeling.

"After the Immortal King dies, no matter how powerful or glorious he was, he could not withstand the passage of time and turned into a handful of dust."

At that very moment, as he fell, the scene changed, and a cosmic lake appeared, sparkling and clear as a sapphire.

Furthermore, on the opposite bank of the lake, there was a thatched hut, and a man in white appeared there, handsome and refined, sitting there.

"Senior, it's been a long time!" Lin Fan nodded to him, his body shrouded in immortal aura, exuding an aura of immortality.

Things are different now. With his current cultivation level, he naturally sees more. The Lord of the Forbidden Zone has indeed fallen, leaving only his obsession.

"You've become an immortal!"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was quite surprised to recognize Lin Fan, after all, it had only been twelve or thirteen years since they last met.

However, it gives one the illusion of being in another world.

The last time Lin Fan and the big black dog came, their cultivation level was only at the Divine Fire Realm, but this time, they were directly at the Immortal Realm.

The sheer scale of the leap was enough to shock even the master of the penalty area.

Finally, Lin Fan moved, walking across the cosmic lake without getting a drop of water or a speck of dust on him, his slender body completely intact.

"Please sit down, and have a servant bring tea!" said the man in white, who was very elegant and looked to be under thirty years old.

In front of the thatched hut, there was still a tea table and two tree stump seats. The middle-aged man sat on one of them, and Lin Fan sat opposite him.

As for the so-called "children," there were two of them, a boy and a girl, on either side of each other. They were also very young and were true immortals in life, but unfortunately, they also died.

Lin Fan sat down readily and generously. He had come to the lower realm and was passing through this place, so he intended to ask him some questions.

"Not long ago, an interesting young man also came by. He was afflicted by the Immortal-Breaking Curse and was carrying the jade piece I gave you."

"To be honest, that's my junior brother, and also a disciple of the Willow God. If you have time, senior, you could give him some pointers," Lin Fan replied.

The man in white nodded in agreement, but he was still more curious about Lin Fan's secrets and how he had become an immortal in such a short time.

"Dreaming of returning to the fallen emperor, a period of time passed, and when I awoke again, I was already an immortal." Lin Fan sighed softly, as if he were quite moved.

Then he went on to explain in more detail, saying there was nothing to hide.

“I see. I’ve heard of that place before. In the previous era, some beings ascended the platform and there were indeed examples of them becoming immortals in one step.”

The man in white seemed somewhat moved. His voice was calm and very refined; if one did not observe closely, one might mistake him for a living person.

In fact, he has been dead for countless millennia, since the very beginning of the Immortal Ancient Era.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to teach nine disciples in succession, one of whom was the famous Azure Moon Immortal.

"You're lucky. This situation is very similar to a place I heard about, where one can achieve reincarnation while still alive," the man in white exclaimed.

"Senior, are you referring to... the Ancient Land located in the Immortal Realm?" Lin Fan pondered.

"Oh, you know about this too?" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was somewhat surprised.

Lin Fan nodded, but that was no longer important. He already had his own destiny and didn't need to go there anymore. At this moment, as the two were talking, a young Taoist priest served tea, its fragrance filling the air with an amazing aroma that was intoxicating.

Lin Fan picked up the teacup and tasted it again. It was still bitter and astringent, but much better than before.

Furthermore, after breaking down the bitterness in the tea, a sweetness emerges, like the sweetness that comes after bitterness.

Of course, he did not forget the purpose of his trip and talked about some things, involving the level of Immortal King and Immortal King.

"You want to deal with a surviving Immortal King?" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was surprised and truly taken aback.

It's truly unexpected that a Demon King named Pu is hiding in the Eight Realms of the Lower World, in the Land of Prisons.

Not to mention him, even Lin Fan felt a headache coming on.

If it weren't for God's perspective, who would have thought that such a tiny place would hide a bunch of old monsters?

After being injured or killed, the Ten Fierce Kunpeng, the True Dragon, the Crippled King, and others all gathered in the barren land.

Even the Goddess Liu was the same.

It should be noted that this does not include the cage in the Void God Realm, where the Dark Immortal King is imprisoned, as well as the second-best in the world, the Yellow Path Immortal Jin Daoren.

"The lower realm is not simple. It used to imprison many great evils. Once it is broken open, the chaos will be more severe than anywhere else," Lin Fan thought.

Therefore, he came to the Eight Regions to investigate, intending to resolve some hidden dangers first, so as to prevent a major upheaval from taking advantage of the situation.

"We still need to be careful. An Immortal King is equivalent to a Celestial King. Even if he is only a remnant soul, he is still unpredictable and may have some hidden tricks up his sleeve."

The master of the forbidden zone spoke earnestly, offering his own observations and warnings.

What is most frightening is that King Pu is not an ordinary king; he is extremely ancient in this foreign land and is a giant.

At the end of the previous era, it stirred up endless bloodshed and was a ruthless person who dared to fight against the True Dragon, the King of Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Immortal King of No End.

If it hadn't been so stubborn, always seeking out the strongest to clash with, it might not have ended up in this state.

However, the Demon King Pu's misery was truly tragic.

In ancient times, it was hunted down by creatures it regarded as ants, losing all face, and had no choice but to hide in the lower realm to recuperate.

Even so, it did not remain peaceful in the Eight Realms, stirring up boundless storms and devouring countless lives.

Finally, the whole world joined forces to suppress him, and the Demon King Pu was forced into the Hundred Broken Mountains, where he was never heard from again.

Lin Fan couldn't help but gasp. If it were any other Immortal King, being in such a sorry state would probably have made him die of anger.

"Now is the perfect time to strike. If you can destroy it and obtain its mark, it will greatly benefit your path to becoming king," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone added.

He was a Celestial King in his previous life and knew this very well. Every king is unique, and their Dao attainment is beyond imagination.

Throughout history, there have been people who have done this, seizing the fruits of others' spiritual progress by killing and devouring them.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing happens more often at the Immortal King level, because the benefits are too great, and some people can become supreme giants overnight.

Lin Fan suddenly realized that this was equivalent to the Nine-Headed Monster of the Immortal Realm, a creature stitched together from numerous Immortal Kings, neither human nor ghost.

This is not in line with his path. Although it will not lead to his being devoured, it would be a great opportunity to comprehend the path to enlightenment of a king.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Afterwards, Lin Fan thanked them and left the forbidden area, immediately heading to the lower realm to search for the whereabouts of the Demon King Pu.

He remembered that this guy had been building a passage to leave this world and return to another realm. If he succeeded, he would become a formidable enemy in the future.

In any case, it must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.
