Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

The Desolate Forbidden Land, one of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Eastern Wilderness, is fraught with danger, and the higher one's cultivation level, the more awe one holds this place.

Six thousand years ago, the once-powerful Tianxuan Holy Land was filled with powerful figures and looked down upon the Eastern Wilderness. However, due to overconfidence, it launched a full-scale attack on the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Ultimately, the sect was destroyed, and all its powerful members perished there, with only two or three surviving.

The once mighty Tianxuan Holy Land was destroyed in a single day, and since then, people have kept quiet about it.

Over the years, only emperors and holy rulers nearing their end would come here to make a last-ditch effort at the moment of their death.

Luo Qianqiu was extremely wary of this place, and after leaving this time, he would not return for a long time.

He knew very well that the reason they were safe and sound this time was because Ye Fan was there; otherwise, how could they, a group of mortals, have left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land alive?

"Look, there's a spring over there." After walking about two miles, Luo Qianqiu's exceptional eyesight made a discovery.

About two hundred meters ahead, there is a small pool about one meter square, with spring water flowing gurgling in it, as clear as dew after rain.

The spring pool is surrounded by old vines, each as thick as a water bucket, with lush green leaves and full of vitality.

In addition, there are a dozen or so small trees, each about half a meter tall, with lush leaves that resemble human hands.

At the top of each sapling hangs a bright red fruit, a cherry about the size of a chicken egg.

Luo Qianqiu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He knew that it was the divine spring and the sacred fruit, which had miraculous effects such as cleansing the marrow, strengthening the foundation, and prolonging life.

Such a divine object is rare even in the entire universe, yet now it is clearly visible before his eyes, and he has the opportunity to enjoy it.

Given this, how could Luo Qianqiu remain unmoved and not burst into laughter? It was astonishing how strong his willpower was.

Just like an ordinary person winning a multi-million dollar lottery, who could resist shouting "Holy crap!"? Divine springs and sacred fruits are so coveted that even quasi-emperors would be envious; they are truly priceless treasures.

Luo Qianqiu suppressed his excitement, shielding Ye Fan in front of him and Pang Bo behind him. He didn't rush forward headfirst, fearing that the water would dissolve easily.

The three walked quickly, passing through the vine forest, and arrived at the spring.

Suddenly, a rich fruity aroma wafted over, making one's mouth water and unconsciously swallow.

"It smells so good! I've never seen such a fragrant fruit before." The three of them were momentarily intoxicated by the aroma.

"Could this intense fruity aroma be poisonous?" Ye Fan wondered, feeling that the fruit in front of him smelled rather unusually strong.

Moreover, in nature, the more vibrant something is, the more toxic it may be.

"We can't worry about that now. There might be unknown dangers here. We need to fill our stomachs to cope with any eventuality," Luo Qianqiu said.

He couldn't help himself, but he didn't dare to be the first to reach out, so he used these words to dispel their concerns.

Since they started on Earth, the three of them hadn't eaten much, and their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. If they didn't eat soon, their limbs would become weak.

Unfortunately, this place may hold unknown dangers, and if one's physical functions are not at their peak, the possibility of death is very high.

Upon hearing this, the brute Pang Bo was the first to reach out and pluck a fruit, followed by Ye Fan, and finally Luo Qianqiu.

Looking at the bright red fruit in his hand, Luo Qianqiu could no longer resist and took a bite.

The bright red fruit is bitten into, and the juice bursts in the mouth, releasing a rich and fragrant aroma that permeates the entire body.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Pang Bo rambled on, shaking his head and even licking his fingers.

"I've never eaten such delicious fruit before. Am I just too hungry?" Ye Fan wondered.

"This isn't Earth anymore. The soil and water are fertile, so it's no wonder the fruit tastes so good," Luo Qianqiu said casually.

After eating the fruit, he calmed himself and felt the changes in his body. In just a moment, he felt much more energetic.

Luo Qianqiu knew that the fruit was working its magic.

At the same time, a clear and melodious sound rang out in my heart.

"Ding!"

"The host has entered the world of cultivation, consumed the sacred fruit, and taken the first step into immortal cultivation. The mission is now issued as follows."

"Mission: Open up the sea of ​​suffering within three months and officially embark on the path of cultivation."

"Reward: Doubled Constitution Source, Achievement Panel unlocked."

"Failure: Next mission postponed."

Luo Qianqiu's expression changed, and he summoned the panel. After seeing the task clearly, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Opening up the Sea of ​​Bitterness in three months, what kind of god-level difficulty is this?"

In the original story, Ye Fan and Pang Boguang spent four months learning the basics of cultivation before being taught scriptures and formally beginning their cultivation.

At this moment, the panel instructed Luo Qianqiu, a 54-year-old man who had never been exposed to cultivation, to master the basics of cultivation within three months and then escape the sea of ​​suffering!

The difficulty involved is beyond imagination, almost impossible to complete. Unless some extraordinary miracle occurs, mission failure is a foregone conclusion.

Of course, that was for Luo Qianqiu at fifty-four years old, not for him now.

At this point, even without the help of a divine embryo, as long as Luo Qianqiu follows the plot step by step and joins a blessed land, he will have thirty-one years to escape the sea of ​​suffering, no matter how useless he is.

Not to mention nowadays, escaping the sea of ​​suffering is an incredibly easy thing.

That complaint from Luo Qianqiu was simply an expression of indignation on behalf of his 54-year-old self, feeling that the panel was simply too much.

"It shouldn't be poisonous, keep eating." Just then, Ye Fan, who had waited a moment and found no abnormalities in his body, spoke up.

Luo Qianqiu's attention was instantly drawn back. Seeing that Ye Fan and Pang Bo had both picked a fruit, he quickly followed suit, picked one, and popped it into his mouth.

Then, he looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo and said, "There are thirteen fruits in total. I'll take four of them, how about that?"

There were only thirteen small trees, each half a meter tall, and each tree bore only one fruit. He took four, and the remaining nine were given to Ye Fan and Pang Bo, a very reasonable distribution.

Neither of them had any objection to this.

Seeing this, Luo Qianqiu picked two more fruits, put them in his pocket, and did not continue eating.

Pang Bo, who had just picked a fruit and put it in his mouth, froze, and asked in confusion, "Brother Luo, why aren't you eating?"

Luo Qianqiu chuckled and said, "This fruit tastes very good. I'll take it back for Lin Jia to try."

The desolate forbidden land possesses the power to strip people of their lifespan; beauty fades in the blink of an eye. Lin Jia is a woman, and her appearance is what she cares about most.

In the original novel, she appears decades older, prematurely aged, her youthful beauty faded, and she is on the verge of collapse.

In this life, I still grow old in front of the person I love, witnessing my most embarrassing side. Who can bear such a blow?

Luo Qianqiu didn't want to see Lin Jia like this, so even though he knew how precious the sacred fruit was, he didn't intend to enjoy it all by himself.
