Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 377 Robbing the Forbidden Zone
The only saving grace was that a major battle never broke out, and the Undying Mountain returned to tranquility, just like always.

But people know that's just the surface; the real situation could be extremely dangerous.

A powerful sage cautiously approached the outside of the mountain, wanting to see what lay within, but the array patterns covering the ground deterred them.

Nobody dares to cause trouble here; it's one of the most dangerous places in the entire universe.

……

Inside the Immortal Mountain, Li Yao strolled leisurely through what was considered a forbidden zone of life by all living beings.

Previously, this was a place he would never have wanted to go near, but now, he stands tall and fearless.

The Undying Mountain contains countless array patterns, including many quasi-emperor level arrays and even some incomplete emperor arrays.

But Li Yao ignored them all and waded through them, impervious to all magic!

Soon, he entered the central area of ​​the Undying Mountain.

As they traveled, their eyes followed the movement of the land, and they would casually collect any good fortune that they deemed acceptable.

This was nothing short of blatant robbery, but no one dared to say anything at that moment.

Deep within the ancient cave, the Stone Emperor's eyes were bloodshot, but he remained rational and did not rush out to fight Li Yao to the death.

Finally, Li Yao arrived at a tea plantation and saw the most famous immortal herb—the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree!

This is an old tree, its branches and trunk twisted like a dragon, its old bark resembling dragon scales, exuding a sense of antiquity and antiquity.

On countless branches, leaves shimmer and sway, their light dazzling and radiant.

This is the most precious and rare tea from the Eastern Wilderness, and each leaf, if it were to be seen, would fetch an unimaginable price.

Li Yao approached and gazed at the ancient tea tree of enlightenment. Each tea leaf was different, totaling one hundred and eight, crystal clear, radiating divine light. Some resembled spears, some small stoves, and others small Bagua diagrams.

Although they grow from the same tree, each tea leaf represents a different path, which can help people understand the Tao and cultivate themselves.

Li Yao naturally couldn't miss such a good thing, so he took out the jade jar and picked all the tea leaves.

In other words, he knew that the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree could not leave the Undying Mountain; otherwise, he would have wanted to move it away.

But it doesn't matter. One day, he will come back, and then the entire Undying Mountain will be his.

Li Yao took one last look and found there was nothing left to take. For example, the Longevity Elixir had already been taken away by the Supreme Being when he entered the Undying Mountain.

"This is the consequence of your interference in my tribulation. If there is a next time, I will pay with your life." He looked at the chaotic ancient cave where the Stone Emperor was, his voice icy.

Having said that, without giving the Stone Emperor a chance to reply, he turned and walked out of the Undying Mountain.

Then, amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, they headed towards the Divine Ruins.

The world was shocked; the news spread like a storm, sweeping across the five major regions.

Everyone now knew that Li Yao would likely visit the forbidden areas of every supreme being who had made a move this time.

"Too much of a good thing is bad. Even an emperor wouldn't provoke so many forbidden zones at the same time and make enemies everywhere."

Some people were worried, feeling that Li Yao's actions were inappropriate, and some were concerned for him. Supreme beings are the strongest people in the world, and there is more than one Supreme being in each forbidden zone. Pushing him too far is not a good thing.

Many people predicted that the path to immortality would be turbulent once it began. The existence of a supreme warrior in the world would only bring them benefits, and would make the ancient supreme beings have something to worry about.

However, the will of the Supreme Being cannot be changed. After successfully transcending the tribulation, Li Yao no longer had much fear of the Dark Supreme Being, regarding him as nothing more than a withered skeleton in a tomb.

Anyway, he firmly believed that as long as the bottom line of the Supreme was not crossed, no one would jump out and fight him with the ultimate sublimation!
Both sides are actually exercising restraint, unable to bear the consequences of a major war.

The Great Dao of Chaos soared into the sky, and Li Yao, like the Heavenly Emperor, surveyed the world and descended upon the Divine Ruins.

There are many ruins here, and traces of the Dao are everywhere. The most famous of them is a magnificent and lofty South Heavenly Gate, which is the site of the ancient Heavenly Court that fell here.

Without hesitation, Li Yao entered the Divine Ruins, breaking through layers of Dao traces, repeating the actions he had taken at the Undying Mountain.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Peach Tree was also taken away by the Supreme Being early on, giving him no chance at all.

For the Supremes of the Forbidden Zone, being robbed is a matter of great experience.

Intervening in the tribulation of those who have attained enlightenment can lead to the division of imperial blood to replenish oneself if successful; otherwise, the Great Emperor will come to settle scores afterward.

Even an emperor would be wary of an entire forbidden zone and would not dare to act rashly, so he would usually offer something in return.

Long before Li Yao survived the great calamity, the Supreme Beings had already prepared for his arrival and had long since put away the divine medicine.

In other words, those that remained outside were prepared for Li Yao, a tacit understanding between them.

However, even without the peach tree, Li Yao still had a gain, spotting a divine spring hidden by the Supreme Being.

The Supreme Being would certainly not allow the theft of the divine medicine, but a divine spring was just within acceptable limits. "Boom!"

Li Yao made his move, unleashing chaotic immortal power to seize a ley line and grasp it in his palm.

The misty fog drifted by like flowing water, releasing a refreshing fragrance.

"Young man, you've gone too far!"

Deep within the Divine Ruins, a supreme being roared angrily, declaring that the Divine Spring was precious and he had no intention of giving it away.

However, it would be a waste to be born and fight a supreme being just because of a divine spring, so he only spoke.

Li Yao had a good grasp of the Supreme's temperament and was not afraid at all: "Since you interfered with my tribulation, you should have thought that failure would come at a price."

The two sides faced off, their tension palpable, their overwhelming aura surging and boiling, unable to be contained even by the Divine Ruins, spreading throughout the entire Big Dipper, causing countless beings to tremble.

Inside the Divine Ruins, Li Yao unleashed his magical power, transforming it into streaks of divine energy that shrunk the vast earth veins to a size of three inches.

This is a true divine spring, nurtured by the earth's veins, and in turn, the spring nourishes the earth's veins. As long as it is not over-exploited, it will flow continuously, making it a divine object of the same level as the divine springs in the ancient forbidden land.

Whether it's alchemy, prolonging human life essence, or cultivating elixirs of immortality, these are all the best choices.

Such a divine object is hard to find anywhere in the entire universe; it may only exist in forbidden zones of life, and it was moved here by the Supreme Being with great effort.

Just in time, the rebirth of the Qilin Divine Medicine seed has reached a critical stage. With the help of the Divine Spring, the rebirth time can be greatly shortened. There is also half a humanoid divine medicine plant, which has been nourished by the divine lightning of wood over the years and has been revitalized. If it is irrigated with the Divine Spring, it will be able to come back to life in no time.

The haul from the Divine Ruins was good, but Li Yao knew when to stop and didn't continue looting. Instead, he strolled through the Divine Ruins, thoroughly understanding the situation of this forbidden land of life, before finally leaving.

The eyes of the supreme beings in the Divine Ruins were extremely cold, overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of humiliation. If they hadn't thought about the imminent opening of the path to immortality, they would not have been able to endure it.

After leaving the Divine Ruins, Li Yao did not stop but immediately headed to the next forbidden area.

People felt dizzy; they had never experienced more excitement in their entire lives than they had today.

For Li Yao, entering the restricted area might just be a robbery, but for the masses, the pressure they endure every moment is immense.

They feared the possibility of a major war breaking out at any moment. Even if the possibility was only one in ten thousand, if that one in ten thousand happened, it would be absolute destruction for them.

The Immortal Mausoleum is an extremely desolate place, filled with hills that resemble small burial mounds. They are not very high, but they possess an extraordinary aura and are all different, some exuding a gloomy aura and others radiating auspicious light.

This place is very mysterious, and its origin is long lost to history. People can only speculate that the Immortal Tomb may have originally been a burial ground for immortals, but their immortal bodies have ascended to heaven, which is why it is empty inside.

Li Yao swaggered around the Immortal Tomb, plundering many divine materials that were unimaginable to ordinary people. He even dug up hundreds of stone tablets. It wasn't until the Supreme Beings could no longer contain their anger that he left the Immortal Tomb and headed to Burial Island in the Eastern Wilderness.

Burial Sky Island, floating in the air, is also known as the Heavenly Realm, adding to its mystique.

Aside from those with unparalleled cultivation, many ordinary cultivators still doubt whether Burial Sky Island truly exists.

As always, everything went smoothly. The Supreme Being on Burial Sky Island was very cooperative, allowing Li Yao to pack up and take away many divine items without making a sound.

"The last one!" Li Yao's expression turned serious as he left Burial Sky Island.

The supreme beings who interfered with his tribulation that day were Undying Mountain, Divine Ruins, Burial Sky Island, and Primordial Ancient Mine!
The seven forbidden zones of the Eastern Wilderness are all famous throughout the world, but to ordinary cultivators, they are no different.

However, only Emperor-level experts know that among the seven forbidden zones, apart from the abnormal Ancient Forbidden Zone, the Primordial Ancient Mine is the most dangerous.

There's no particular reason; the Primordial Ancient Mine is simply powerful, and there are just too many Supreme Beings there.

Throughout the entire ancient era, no emperor could clearly state how many supreme beings were in the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Standing outside the ancient mine, Li Yao sensed the presence emanating from the front, which numbered at least five.

This is only what we've sensed so far. Some supreme beings are sleeping soundly, completely ignoring the grudges of the outside world, so they haven't released any supreme pressure.

The power of the Primordial Ancient Mine is evident from this.

At this moment, Li Yao sincerely admired that man. He was indeed a role model for his generation. He swaggered into the Primordial Ancient Mine, took out a large amount of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, and drained Fallen Sun Ridge to refine weapons in front of the Ancient Mine's Supreme Being.

In terms of strength, Emperor Hengyu may not be top-tier, but in terms of memorable moments, he definitely deserves a place.

He traveled far to the Central Plains, fishing to the death of the Emperor, and forging a furnace for his friend...

These incidents, one by one, reveal that Emperor Hengyu is a bit of a womanizer, but he is certainly not a small fry.

At least for now, Li Yao hasn't entered the ancient mine; he's just standing outside, confronting the supreme being within.

"Give me a Primordial Life Stone, and this matter will be over." He stood outside the ancient mine and said to the Supreme Being inside.

The two sides faced off, and a terrifying aura pierced the heavens, dimming even the stars beyond the realm.

After an unknown amount of time, a silvery-white strange stone flew out. It was as big as a washbasin, flowing with celestial light and spewing out celestial essence. It was extremely amazing.
