Chapter 634 - 584: Reincarnation Treasure (2)
Qin An thought to himself, "Perhaps this is the true way to enter the Reincarnation Forbidden Area."
He glanced back at Yue Wushuang.
The two had already formed an alliance, thus sharing a mutual understanding.
Yue Wushuang sensed Qin An’s gaze, understood his meaning, lifted her fair face, swept across Qin An’s eyes, and nodded slightly.
The meaning was indeed as Qin An guessed, this was the entrance to the Reincarnation Forbidden Area.
Qin An said no more, then followed Yue Wushuang and together they stepped into the light spots.
A bright flash appeared before his eyes, then turned clear.
Moments later, Qin An found himself standing on a wetland.
He looked up, and the light had completely disappeared; this place was actually an underwater world.
And Qin An could feel that even though he was underwater, it was no different from being on land.
"What a magical Forbidden Area."
He tried waving his hand, finding that the seawater posed no obstacle, but the hidden Power of Reincarnation in the seawater constantly eroded him, and it gradually intensified.
Yue Wushuang explained, "Deep within the Reincarnation Forbidden Area is the depth of the Reincarnation Sea, but this is the place where extremes reverse; the seawater doesn’t impede us at all, the only thing to be careful of is the Power of Reincarnation at the sea bottom."
"After all, the longer you stay, the deeper the erosion of the Power of Reincarnation, requiring more Void Essence to resist."
"If entering at the Element Transformation Realm, one can only resist for the time of an incense stick burning, while as Tripod Aspiration Realm cultivators, we can cycle our Void Essence repeatedly, just enough to maintain balance against the Power of Reincarnation."
Qin An nodded, after careful sensing, it was indeed as Yue Wushuang said.
Seeing that Qin An was not into speaking more, Yue Wushuang stopped talking as well, but her eyes, full of curiosity, openly rested on Qin An.
A person relies on their reputation, a tree relies on its shadow.
She, unlike those arrogant people, did not believe Qin An was merely lucky enough to gain such a strong reputation.
In Yue Wushuang’s view, Qin An definitely possessed strength matching his reputation.
This was why she actively sought an alliance with Qin An.
Only by both parties being strong could there be mutual success.
After all, anyone capable of revealing the secrets of the Jinluan Holy Hall could not be simple.
Qin An might look ordinary on the surface, but surely hid astonishing power inside.
With this in mind, Yue Wushuang also followed Qin An, shifting her gaze to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was the leader of this mission, and all current actions needed to follow Gu Yuan.
She did not step out to speak improperly.
Nangong Xuan was the same, but his eyes contained resentment when looking at Yue Wushuang.
If not for Yue Wushuang causing trouble, Gu Yuan wouldn’t have stepped forward, and he might have become the mission’s leader.
Unlike other Forbidden Land Envoys, he placed great importance on becoming the mission leader.
He was obsessed with leading missions, which related to his obsession with power.
Joining the Evil Extermination Bureau as a Forbidden Land Envoy granted him more power than others, which was his goal all along.
Thus, Yue Wushuang’s disruption caused dissatisfaction in Nangong Xuan, as he lost leadership in this mission.
But now that Gu Yuan had taken the leader position, Nangong Xuan dared not speak more.
Gu Yuan gave Nangong Xuan a glance, slightly shaking his head.
He was well aware of Nangong Xuan’s thoughts, as many knew Nangong Xuan’s personality among the Forbidden Land Envoys.
But because Nangong Xuan was powerful, and completed every mission diligently, the higher-ups didn’t exert much pressure on him.
Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked over the group, and finally gestured with his hand, saying, "First, let us go to the human forces within this Forbidden Area to understand why they’ve fallen into conflict, then discuss how to handle it."
The task description was not detailed, indicating this was an emergent mission, simply having someone bring the information out, and thus requires further understanding.
Everyone nodded, without wasting words, and followed Gu Yuan in one direction.
...
The sea was vast, usually, the deeper the sea, the darker it becomes, but this part of the Reincarnation Sea grew brighter, as if endless light poured in from all directions, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Qin An, visiting such a magical place for the first time, naturally couldn’t conceal his curiosity, observing everything keenly.
And his hand never left the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The group advanced steadily, soon arriving at a towering mountain.
This mountain stood under the sea, with a certain peculiar aura.
Yet the seawater acted like air; there were lush trees and green grass on the mountain.
Gu Yuan stopped, turned back, and explained, "I know some of you are participating in this mission for the first time, so I’ll take this chance to tell you about it."
"This mountain is called Reincarnation Mountain, serving as the most prominent landmark within the Reincarnation Forbidden Area, resembling a mountain range yet standing underwater; it houses human forces within the Forbidden Area."
Some first-time visiting Forbidden Land Envoys nodded, learning more.
Gu Yuan did not say more, then gestured for everyone to follow him, stepping into Reincarnation Mountain ahead.
After entering Reincarnation Mountain, no abnormalities were encountered along the way.
However, Qin An sensed something was amiss.
He turned towards Yue Wushuang, asking, "Why is the Power of Reincarnation in Reincarnation Mountain so weak?"
Yue Wushuang smiled, "The reason is simple, the human forces here constantly absorb the Power of Reincarnation, they are eroded by it, but also wear it down, weakening it significantly over time."
Qin An looked suddenly enlightened, said nothing more, and proceeded.
Soon, an immense city appeared before them.
Even from afar, they could feel an ancient and desolate aura emanating from the city.
The top of the city gates bore the words "Reincarnation City."
Two human cultivators were guarding the entrance.
Seeing the arrival of numerous Forbidden Land Envoys, there was a trace of excitement in their eyes.
Gu Yuan approached and said to the two guards, "No need for words, take me to see your Clan Leader, we want to understand what happened here."
The left guard nodded slightly, saying no more, and promptly led Gu Yuan and his group into the city.
Upon entering, the conditions inside came into view.
The city was bleak, human cultivators were seen everywhere.
But their condition was poor.
They either sat on the ground, leaned against walls, with fatigue etched on every face, and each had terrifying scars, some even severely injured.
Gu Yuan saw this scene, his frown deepening.
The leading human cultivator sensed the group’s emotions, and with a bitter smile, said, "Some of you have visited the Reincarnation Forbidden Area long ago, rarely have you seen us so miserable, but rest assured, those Demon Pseudo-Gods are also in a bad way."
Saying this, a glint of resentment flashed in the human cultivator’s eyes.
He continued leading the way, speaking offhandedly.
Gu Yuan casually replied, "What’s the reason? You initially had a tripartite balance with the natives, why disrupt it causing such horrific casualties?"
He asked with ease, knowing if the human cultivator didn’t answer, he could ask the Clan Leader later.
Hearing Gu Yuan speak, many Forbidden Land Envoys perked up, trying to glean insights.
Qin An was also a bit curious, waiting patiently for an answer.
The human cultivator, upon hearing this while leading, immediately stopped.
He gazed at the distant end, voice brimming with fervor, "It’s because the Reincarnation Treasure appeared, if obtained, it will rewrite the entire situation in the Reincarnation Forbidden Area."
