Therefore, only the Ninth Tier powerhouses, the kind who could be displayed openly, swiftly mobilized, deliver precise strikes, or even launch widespread attacks, were the greatest deterrent.
When there were several Ninth Tier powerhouses, combined with friendships and overlapping interests, only then would Jinlan Mountain truly have solid footing.
After returning, we should ask You Zhen about the issue personally, whether the Feng family quietly provided a loophole, and how reliable this information was.
If it was reliable, notify King Xiang to quickly recover his father's remaining limbs and send them to the only Devilic Assistance Station.
Yu Ziqing returned to Jinlan Mountain without any disturbance, and instead of looking for You Zhen first, he went to ask Yang.
"The situation is roughly . Do you think it's reliable?"
"Southwest of the Wilderness, they suppressed part of it in the southwest of the Wilderness, good heavens," Yang gasped in surprise.
"What's the explanation?"
"Strictly speaking, the southwest of the Wilderness is already outside the Wilderness's boundaries. The only suitable place to suppress Old Emperor Zhen's remaining limbs is the Silver Lake Forbidden Land."
"Is it the Silver Lake Forbidden Land I'm thinking of?"
"The same one that No. 4 went to."
"..." Yu Ziqing was left speechless.
I only told No. 4 last time, if you don't die, you can live.
Unexpectedly, now it was his turn so soon.
"Do you think this time we can let King Xiang manage to control the Devilic parts of the remaining limbs himself and carry them back? The accompanying physician doesn't have to go, right?"
"I think last time King Xiang managed to deal with his father's right leg, but it was somewhat reluctant, also because that right leg wasn't sealed. If it was sealed, it shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Do you believe that yourself?"
"I don't." Yu Ziqing shook his head decisively.
No one knew who had suppressed Old Emperor Zhen's right leg.
How it was unsealed, unknown.
There was also a high probability that the person who suppressed the right leg was dead.
King Xiang had already made his stance clear, so he would definitely pay attention to other parts.
Moreover, someone had been secretly interfering earlier, and now it seemed unlikely they wouldn't meddle again.
"For body cultivation, the Silver Lake Forbidden Land wasn't that dangerous as long as you didn't go to the most dangerous core area. The general threat wasn't big.
The core area was definitely not a place where Ninth Tier powerhouses dare tread; going there would have a high probability of attracting calamity."
Yu Ziqing's eyelids twitched, and he gave a sinister laugh.
"So, Old Emperor Zhen's remaining limbs were likely suppressed in the core area of the place?"
"Possibly not. If it were in the core area, it would be impossible for a Bodhi Tree to grow there, and the person who suppressed the limbs wouldn't dare enter the core area."
On hearing this, Yu Ziqing felt greatly relieved.
"Let's talk about the core area first."
"At Silver Lake Forbidden Land, naturally, there's a Silver Lake at the core, where the aura is quite distinct, especially affecting Qi Refining cultivators.
Just stepping in there might accidentally connect with your aura, invoking two of the three calamities.
If fortunate, you would only invoke the Heavenly Tribulation, and if it were merely an ordinary Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and adequately prepared, there was still a chance of survival.
But if it invoked the Water Tribulation, coupled with the environmental enhancements there, the only outcome was death on the spot.
Records show that there was once a Seventh Tier Body Cultivator from Dazhen, who somehow angered a Ninth Tier Third Tribulation Realm strong cultivator from Daqian.
He fled into the Silver Lake Forbidden Land and hid there for over three hundred years, eventually achieving the Eighth Tier in body cultivation, awakening several divine skills, and finally coming out.
Even the Third Tribulation Realm strong cultivator dared not step into the Silver Lake Forbidden Land.
Every few years, they would circle the outside, but they never dared go in.
And inside, under the Ninth Tier, it was extremely difficult to kill a body cultivator."
"Understood, whenever provoking a Third Tribulation Realm strong cultivator, just head for the Silver Lake Forbidden Land." Yu Ziqing mused aloud, then continued asking, "Apart from the Silver Lake Forbidden Land, are there other places that have similar effects? Preferably capable of invoking calamity ten out of ten."
"..." Yang gritted his teeth, irritated. Was that all you focused on after everything I said?
"Okay, then the travelogue you've read before, how much do you remember? Can you tell me about it? I'll ask No. 4 about it later."
"Scram now, I'll give it to you later."
Yu Ziqing left in a joyous trot, and the village chief came over slowly, leaning on his cane.
"Is he going out again?"
"Yes." Yang nodded, looking at the village chief: "He's done a lot for this place, not just running around."
"I know, Ziqing is a good kid." The village chief took a gentle breath, his body surging with qi-blood.
For a moment, the explosive qi-blood was at least tenfold of ordinary times.
The next instant, the exploded qi-blood became a meek lamb, reined in by the village chief to retract.
Yang looked shocked at the village chief.
"Yes, just advanced." The village chief wore a calm expression, extending a hand, a leaf floated atop his palm.
Without exerting any force, he merely shook his palm lightly, letting the leaf float there without falling or shattering.
"Indeed, Ziqing has unique insights into body refinement despite his low realm.
As you mentioned, Yang, realm and knowledge are different matters.
There's still much I need to learn; the methods he told me were very effective.
I feel I've already mastered them perfectly, naturally leading to my advancement."
"Awakened any divine skills?" Yang looked incredulously as if doubting whether Yu Ziqing's earlier wild assertions were true.
