The man in black was Pang Jian who had left the rocky and shattered land.
Having achieved a minor level of success in the "Illusionary Bone Realm", he slightly adjusted his cheekbones and face to conceal his true appearance, blending in with a group of casual cultivators.
After secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between He Hui and Ning Wei, he learned their identities and backgrounds, and confirmed that the unpopular He Hui in front of him was the father of He Ziren who died at his hands.
The world is really unpredictable.
Having stepped out of the Cenji Mountains, he has now reached the Dongxuan Realm and is the strongest person on this cloud sail.
If he was not afraid of exposing his identity and summoned out the Jingzhi Gun and the Shattering Star Umbrella, he could kill all the people in Yunfan.
In contrast, He Hui and others who used to be so high and mighty and showed off their power in the Fourth Realm, now did not dare to look him in the eye, appearing so humble and timid.
"Pang Jian, after killing the common enemy of the human race, Cao Mang, he took the Black Iron Mountain belonging to Cao the Dwarf and disappeared."
"That guy, like Dong Tianze, also climbed up from the lower realm. He is really extraordinary."
"The Sword Tower should have regarded him as a core disciple a long time ago, which is why they gave him the powerful weapon that can kill Cao the Dwarf!"
"Even if he has a powerful spiritual weapon, his realm is only the profound realm after all, while Cao the dwarf is at the concentration realm!"
“That’s why he’s extraordinary!”
"… "
A group of young men from noble families were discussing the matter again.
"This young hunter is from the Fourth Realm just like us. He is truly extraordinary."
Ning Wei listened very seriously.
Her bright eyes shone with admiration, and she said to He Hui beside her: "Every few decades, one or two powerful people appear in our Fourth Realm who can shine in the world above. Pang Jian should be one of them."
He Hui nodded in agreement.
Among the young men from noble families discussed, no one mentioned Pang Jian, who shone brightly in Yuanmang, and Hong Jian, the dark ghost who caused trouble on Bingyan Island.
Therefore, He Hui and Ning Wei had no idea that Pang Jian, whom they secretly admired, was the young leader of the Dark Ghost Hall who had robbed the Blood Moon Trapping Ship in the Tianyun Shattered Land.
The two of them still looked admiring at this time.
"My identity as the leader of the Dark Ghost Hall was actually ignored by everyone. No one even mentioned it."
The person involved, who was tired of listening, showed a look of astonishment in his eyes, and then closed his eyes and communicated with the black tortoise.
The black tortoise sunk under the thick leaden clouds was controlling the rocky broken earth and sailing towards the edge of the "strange fog" on the third realm. It planned to hide with the broken earth for a while.
The Black Iron Mountain that belonged to Cao Mang was now hidden deep underground by the Black Turtle, and could be delivered to Pang Jian at any time when he needed it.
Pang Jian has not yet fully understood the mysteries of this mountain, and it cannot be stored in his storage bracelet.
Because this mountain was too conspicuous, he did not use the Black Iron Mountain to leave the Rocky Broken Land. He waited for Wang Ying to approach on the Cloud Sail and obediently paid fifty spirit stones to get on board.
"The next stop is the Yunlei Forbidden Land. I hope it will be the key to my breakthrough."
Pang Jian said secretly.
His realm has been stagnant for a long time.
He worked hard to temper his flesh and blood, and cultivated his Great Creation Holy Body from the "Jade Body Realm" to the "Illusion Bone Realm", but he was unsuccessful in prying open a ray of spiritual consciousness.
In his Dantian spiritual sea, the stars are shining brightly and the light of the sun and the moon is extremely bright.
But these did not help him break through to the middle stage of Dongxuan Realm.
After pondering for a long time, he realized that the way he broke through the innate realm was in the underground palace of Ice Rock Island. He used the extremely cold altar that communicated with the Cyclops and the Ice Demon to absorb the extremely cold power and condense it into an ice pool in the spiritual sea.
He was promoted to the Xiantian realm in this way.
He secretly suspected that the reason why he had not been able to break through this realm for a long time was because of the special nature of his Chaos Sea.
In the rocky and shattered land, he also tried to absorb the strange power in the spiritual material in his hand, such as the power of thunder and water.
However, there was no materialized strange object like an ice pool or a fire pool that could form in the depths of his spiritual sea.
In desperation, he decided to find another way and try his luck in some forbidden areas.
The Yunlei Forbidden Land, it is rumored that there are lightning and thunder all year round in the basin inside, and there are many mysterious events hidden. This time he plans to go and take a look.
The cloud sails continue to soar.
Half a month later.
"arrive."
Wang Ying pursed her lips and let out a soft drink.
Her eyes turned cold as she looked at He Hui, Ning Wei and other people from the lower world and said, "The plateau hills surrounding the Yunlei Forbidden Land are filled with a faint spiritual energy. This is the place that the Galaxy Alliance is looking for for you."
"As for the basin in the center of the plateau, it is a forbidden area famous in the third world. If you don't want to die, don't go in."
"Of course, I believe the people from the Galaxy Alliance will also remind you."
As he spoke, the cloud sail was falling.
Like many people, Pang Jian stood up, holding the edge of the boat and looking down.
He looked surprised.
Looking down from a high altitude, one can see the square Yunlei Forbidden Land, which is actually located in the thick leaden clouds of the third realm.
—Instead of floating above the clouds like Yuanmang and Sanxian Island.
Around the Yunlei Forbidden Land, there are towering plateau hills that emerge from the depths of the clouds.
The central basin, which occupies the largest area, is located deep in the gray clouds.
Pang Jian squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that there were occasional flashes of lightning, accompanied by thunder, which suddenly lit up the basin.
"In the hilly plateau area at the edge, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is pure but weak. In the basin in the center, which is considered a forbidden area, there are all kinds of forces mixed together, among which thunder and lightning are the most common..."
As Yunfan slowly descended, Wang Ying, the boatman, habitually explained to everyone.
Suddenly, horror appeared in her eyes.
"Tianshuize's mountain and water spirit boat!"
A huge sailing ship, its canvas like a huge ink-wash landscape painting, slowly floats in the depths of the clouds in the basin.
When Pang Jian heard the news, he went to see and saw the huge sailing ship that Wang Ying called "Mountain and Water Spirit Boat". It looked like a giant ferocious beast wandering in the sea of clouds.
On the boat, there were some practitioners with landscape paintings painted on their bodies, as well as people wearing different clothes with the word "demon" painted on their chests.
"The Demon Sect and Black Valley are riding on the Mountain and Water Spirit Boat of Tianshuize. They should also be here to explore the Yunlei Forbidden Land."
Wang Ying was greatly surprised.
Her cloud sail stopped there, and she immediately shouted loudly, asking the people from the He and Ning families to hurry down, and then urged the independent cultivators who had only paid fifty spirit stones.
"Fifty spirit stones can only take you to the Yunlei Forbidden Land. If you want to go to the Xuanyou Continent, you need another fifty!"
"Otherwise, get off the boat!"
Wang Ying yelled fiercely.
Compared with the boatman Gao Yuan, her attitude was slightly more arrogant. This was because, like Pang Jian, she also had the cultivation level of the Dongxuan realm.
However, when facing Pang Jian, who was at the same level, she suddenly became much more polite and said seriously, "Friend, the mountain and water spirit boat of Tianshuize has arrived. I suggest you don't go to the Yunlei Forbidden Land anymore. Their arrival means that there must be something strange in the Yunlei Forbidden Land in the near future, but their existence also means that the rest of us have no chance."
Pang Jian hasn't said anything yet.
"Fifty!"
"Damn it, what bad luck! I wanted to try my luck in the Yunlei Forbidden Land, but I happened to run into a guy from the second realm. What's the point of staying here?"
"Let's go, let's go directly to Xuanyou Continent."
Most of the independent cultivators who came to the Yunlei Forbidden Land replenished their fifty spirit stones and simply gave up exploring the lower basin.
None of the young men from aristocratic families got off the boat. They had been wandering outside for a long time and had experienced Yuan Mang's tragedy. Now they just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
"Bang!"
Pang Jian flew out of Yunfan and landed on the plateau.
"You think you have the cultivation level of the Profound Realm, but you are so ignorant of life and death."
Wang Ying shook her head, snorted coldly, then she rode the cloud sail into the air and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Yunlei, forbidden area..."
When a guardian of the Galaxy Alliance who was at the Dongxuan realm came from afar, Pang Jian and He Hui passed by each other.
He Hui would never have imagined that the man in black who had just missed him face to face was the murderer of his son, and the dark ghost Hong Jian whom he wanted to get rid of in Tianyun Shattered Land.
"Let's go."
The wandering cultivators who had risked their lives to stay behind sighed and cursed the arrival of the Mountain and Water Spirit Boat, but they still walked towards the basin below.
Pang Jian took a look at the simple stone and wooden houses that were temporarily built on the edge of the Yunlei Forbidden Land.
He also didn't expect that the place arranged by the Galaxy Alliance for the Ning and He families to stay would be such a place.
"Compared to Yunhuang, where the rock is shattered, I don't know how many times worse it is."
After muttering something, Pang Jian also went towards the basin.
"call!"
Pang Jian took a deep breath, taking in the many strange powers into his chest and identifying the types of power within them.
"There is water vapor filling the mist. The spiritual power of water is not weak."
"There are some tiny toxins deep in the swamp, but they are not obviously harmful to humans."
"Thunder and lightning may appear from time to time in any area of the basin, so we must be careful when dealing with them."
"… "
Pang Jian felt it silently.
Without the black turtle buried in the ground, he could only use clumsy methods to gain insight into the Yunlei Forbidden Land in front of him and feel the mystery of this forbidden land.
The area in the third realm called the forbidden land is different from the broken land infected by the foul alien force. It is just a mixture of various strange energies.
Different from various kinds of spiritual power, it is not suitable for everyone, and practitioners need to cleanse and purify it twice before incorporating it into their Dantian.
"boom!"
A man who had left before him and had just fallen from the plateau into the sea of fog below was suddenly struck by inexplicable thunder.
The man was blown to pieces right in front of him.
“Swish!”
In the area where the thunder struck, long and thin white lightning formed and appeared for a moment strangely.
After a moment, the white lightning disappeared inexplicably.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
The independent cultivators in front of and behind Pang Jian, as if in tacit agreement, cast out their spiritual energy shields one after another, and slowly fell down with pale faces.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a beam of lightning came and struck a person's spiritual power shield with a bright light. The person frantically mobilized his spiritual power to support himself. After a few seconds, the lightning disappeared.
"No chance of success!"
The man who felt unlucky turned around and walked towards the plateau hills, giving up his original exploration plan.
Pang Jian was stunned.
“I wonder if the thunder and lightning can be incorporated into my spiritual sea to help me perfect the Chaos Sea and allow me to successfully enter the next stage of the Profound Realm.”
Two days later.
"call!"
The mountain and water spirit boat that was hovering over the basin seemed a little empty inside, and suddenly floated out from the Yunlei Forbidden Land.
As the Mountain and Water Spirit Boat flew away, many people who frequented the Yunlei Forbidden Land secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Pang Jian is one of them.
