The alarm of Taixu echoed inside the cabin of the Deep Blue.
"The Deep Blue is currently in its low-altitude flight phase. We have entered the depths of the Sea of Eternal Life. It is predicted that we may experience five to ten intense shocks. Please do not panic and remain calm. As per the rules of Order, you are permitted to photograph the entirety of the Sea of Eternal Life, but dissemination to the outside is prohibited. Thank you for your cooperation."
Gu Jianlin heard this alarm after walking out of the library within the Cloud Bright Secret Treasure.
For this trip to the Sea of Eternal Life, almost all young investigators were essentially here to run errands. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
Even ordinary Holy Land Level participants didn't stand a chance of getting involved.
They were merely here to assist.
The Ether Association would allocate some resources to the young participants, letting them head in later to deal with the "small monsters."
The so-called "small monsters" was, in fact, a rather understated term.
Because, in the depths of the Sea of Eternal Life, even the weakest were Ancient God Seeds from the ultra-ancient era.
Slightly stronger elite monsters were ancestors.
Though some newly emerged ancestors weren't particularly powerful, they still belonged to the Ancient God Clan, making them extremely dangerous.
Thus, it became imperative to enhance the investigators' capabilities.
This was the reason Heavenly Destiny Jade Scrolls were distributed.
However, for some reason, he wasn't given a Forbidden Spell.
The reason? The Beast King merely glanced at him, then closed its eyes, doing nothing.
For Superdimensional Level Ascenders, Forbidden Spells were critical items.
Because every path had its limitations.
For instance, the Ghost Slayer Path was excellent for one-on-one duels and fluid combat.
But it wasn't well-suited for large-scale attacks.
Similarly, the Divine Path at the Superdimensional Level lacked certain offensive methods.
While the Sword Sect Path's functionality was almost negligible.
Forbidden Spells served to complement and resolve such shortcomings.
It was said that this Three-Eyed White Tiger possessed exceptionally high intelligence and was known for its absolute fairness and impartiality, devoid of any human emotions. If it denied him a Forbidden Spell, there must have been another reason.
"Do you know what's so impressive about those so-called Ancient Forbidden Curses? They're merely the crude imitations created by weak humans attempting to control the rules of the real world by emulating the power of the Ancient God Clan. The so-called Ancient Forbidden Curse? Nothing more than a clumsy imitation. The Original Forbidden Curse, on the other hand, is somewhat interesting, but that's about it."
Jiuyin's light scoffing voice echoed in his mind. "Are you… a male pet created by the Lord? A consort?"
Gu Jianlin's face darkened.
"I don't even know how to describe you. But that's basically the gist of it. You possess the power of two Supremes and are even a hybrid of human and Ancient God. I can't even discern your position, which makes me admire the greatness of the Lord all the more. It seems the Lord's experiment is destined to succeed!"
Jiuyin snorted. "Won't it be wonderful if the Lord teaches you personally at that time? I wouldn't even want anything from those scumbags of the Bai Ze Clan; it feels dirty to me. Since you're the Lord's consort, you should at least carry the pride of the Lord!"
Gu Jianlin thought to himself that when they truly met, it would indeed be a lesson hands-on.
That would be like lightning striking fire.
But for now, it appeared that Jiuyin genuinely considered him an experimental subject created by the old monster.
After all, in Jiuyin's eyes, the old monster was invincible, incapable of ever losing.
The reason Gu Jianlin could obtain the Dragon Bone and possess a portion of her power was solely due to her personal approval.
She hadn't even considered any other possibilities.
"How much do you know about the Lord?"
Gu Jianlin suddenly directed his attention to the sword.
"Uh, in the past, I was always sealed in the sword scabbard. I was only summoned when the Lord needed me. Since the Lord was always studying human matters and had even lived in the human world, my task was to clean up any ignorant trash in the way, to avoid defiling the Lord's sight."
Jiuyin replied faintly, "All I can say is that the Lord is the most perfect being in the Universe. Unfortunately, most of my memories were lost when I was severed. Otherwise, I'd be able to recall many things."
What use are you, then!
Gu Jianlin shook his head and said, "So, you must have a grudge against the Bai Ze Clan, don't you?"
Jiuyin remained silent for a moment, then snorted, "Not particularly. Being weaker than others is nothing to complain about. What, should I roll on the ground and throw a tantrum, plotting schemes for revenge? No, I'll just reclaim my dignity in the future."
Gu Jianlin was taken aback. This stupid sword actually had a certain pride.
It seemed he would have to rely on Senior Ji to learn more about the old monster.
He lowered his head, stroking the ancient tome in his hands, its texture reflecting the centuries of history it held. Made of some mysterious material, it remained remarkably intact despite showing significant wear.
Suddenly, he noticed a yellowed, brittle sheet of paper hidden among the pages of the ancient book.
This piece of paper must have been here for countless years. It resembled a child's casual doodles, with chaotic, irregular lines crisscrossing one another, yet to him, it seemed to come alive.
With a deafening roar!
His mind was plunged into darkness. The vast firmament was cloaked in gloom, turbulent clouds of chaos surging as though forming the womb of calamity. As a blazing streak of thunder crashed down, the world trembled endlessly.
Gasping for air, Gu Jianlin snapped out of the hallucination.
Ancient Forbidden Curse, All Heavens Divine Thunder!
He had seen this Ancient Forbidden Curse before in the Soul Skywell.
Back then, it was used to execute a traitorous minister. With a single blast of Ancient Divine Thunder, not even ashes remained.
This was the President's Forbidden Spell!
"I take back what I said earlier. Human Forbidden Spells do have some merit."
