Chapter 279: Statement of Identity

Chapter 279 Identity Revealed

“The first person to drink it was naturally me.”

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled, his teeth very white, like a young man. Although he was a man, he possessed an indescribable charm and extraordinary temperament.

This could be seen from the female Daoist child behind him, whose eyes glowed with admiration.

It was imaginable that if other young girls were present, upon seeing such a figure, they would likely have the same expression, perhaps even more so.

He was truly peerlessly graceful, clearly standing in the mortal world, yet like a Phoenix descending upon the world, looking down upon humanity, extraordinary and refined.

Lin Fan secretly felt fortunate that he was a man and unaffected by this, otherwise he too would have been moved.

“Who else was there?” Lin Fan couldn't help but ask. Although he had some understanding, seeing was believing after all.

“The other eight were all Prodigies from various eras, possessing heaven-defying talent!”

The White-robed Man was very amiable, explaining here, not at all like a dignified Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Then, he shook his head, feeling very forlorn, and said, “What a pity, from the Early Stage of the Immortal Ancient Era to the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, all eight of them died.”

“Then why did they all die?” The Little Dog asked, looking at the cup of tea, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone turned his head, looking into the distance, as if reminiscing, lost in thought, and filled with endless regret.

After a while, he finally said, “Because they drank this tea, they all died.”

Lin Fan was calm, deep in thought, understanding that the deaths of these individuals were not actually related to this tea, but rather due to some having entered the Boundary Sea.

However, the Little Dog, unaware of the truth, bristled, its heart sinking. Although it hadn't truly drunk the tea, it had still consumed some.

“It’s over, it’s over, am I going to die here? But I still have an important thing to do, I can’t fall here!” It cried out in great sorrow.

Lin Fan was speechless and rebuked, “Dead dog, quiet down and let Senior finish speaking.”

However, it was no wonder the Little Dog was like this. Who wouldn't panic when someone gives you a “death notice”?

“Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist. Even if I die, let me die with understanding.” The Little dog sat upright, wanting to be a clear-headed ghost.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked at it and smiled, dispelling some of his sadness, and further explained, “They drank this tea, diligently cultivated, and embarked on that path too early. Due to various reasons, they all died.”

“Phew, good thing it’s not an immediate death. I still have time to complete the task Immortal King Wuzhong gave me.” The Little Dog breathed a sigh of relief.

The others ignored it, but the White-robed Man’s pupils glowed, reflecting eight men and women, appearing one by one.

They seemed to have walked out of the river of history, each one peerlessly graceful. Even their images made people tremble.

Undoubtedly, these were the other beings who had drunk the tea and had been taught and imparted great arts by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Suddenly, the first man appeared, tall and imposing, with disheveled hair, majestic and strong, like a True Dragon, containing explosive power.

“His name is Augu, from the Chaos Clan in the Early Stage of the Immortal Ancient Era. He was invincible throughout the world, never suffering a single defeat. I once taught him the Dragon-Slaying Heavenly Art…” the White-robed Man introduced.

This young man had a faint golden glow circulating around his body, indicating at a glance that he was a Major Achievement Body Cultivator, with tightly packed, tough skin.

Lin Fan was startled upon hearing this. This was indeed a Heaven’s Chosen of an era. He just wondered who was stronger, his Physical Body or his.

Of course, he was also very interested in the Heavenly Art passed down by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. The fact that it was named “Dragon-Slaying” hinted at its power.

One must know that the True Dragon was the head of the Ten Vicious. This clan had true Immortal Kings in the Immortal Ancient Era, and few dared to contend with them.

“After his Immortal Ascension, he became extremely powerful and confident, disregarding my warnings and embarking on that path too early. As a result, he never returned and perished,” the White-robed Man lamented.

The Little Dog was surprised, thinking of something, and said, “Did he perhaps go to… that sea that only Immortal Kings can cross?”

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded, the scene changed, the young man disappeared, and the second figure materialized, replaced by a woman.

Dressed in yellow, beautiful and enchanting, she was extremely lovely. However, her gaze towards the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was a bit subtle.

This was not the gaze of a Disciple towards her Master; it carried an undisguised affection.

Lin Fan instantly understood and couldn't help but praise inwardly, this was a Rebellious Disciple trying to approach her Master, truly a model for our generation!

“Her name is Jin Zhen, from the Golden Crow Clan in the Immortal Realm. Her talent was extremely high… but she ultimately perished.”

The White-robed Man was bitter, immensely sad, with a complex expression. He tried to reach out and touch the yellow-clad woman’s hair, but it scattered.

He sighed deeply, left with endless regret.

Subsequently, one figure after another appeared, both male and female, each extraordinary, and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone introduced them one by one.

Moreover, he imparted a great art to each Disciple, all of them extraordinary. Although unheard of, they were surely world-shaking.

After all, these came from an Immortal King; how could they be simple?

Lin Fan was no longer calm, and even the Little Dog was. It had heard of some of these arts before, created by peerless figures who illuminated an era, and its heart was stirred.

This was enough to show that the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was learned in the ways of heaven and man, lived for an extremely long time, even longer than the Immortal Ancient Era, and had a terrifying background.

However, when the last person appeared, Lin Fan’s heart stirred. This woman was too beautiful, embodying myriad graces, making one suffocate.

Especially with a blue moon appearing, reflecting behind her head, making her seem otherworldly, like the Fairy of the Moon Palace.

This was precisely Qing Yue Xianzi!

“Her name is Qing Yue, from the Human Race. She was the last Disciple I taught in the Immortal Ancient Era,” the White-robed Man said.

The woman was peerlessly graceful,清艳动人, with a blue moon reflecting behind her head, illuminating the six directions and eight wastes, like a deity, identical to the person Lin Fan saw in the mural.

At the same time, she was very similar to Yue Chan, equally beautiful, naturally stunning, with an extraordinary and refined temperament, pure and flawless.

Qing Yue Xianzi was very calm. In the image, even when facing the Lord of the Forbidden Zone during her lifetime, she was very composed, without joy or sorrow.

“This is a proud woman,” the White-robed Man smiled.

Lin Fan nodded, indicating he had already understood. Commonly known as a tsundere, sometimes a little coaxing is all it takes.

“Unfortunately, she also died in the Immortal Ancient Era!” The White-robed Man’s eyes dimmed again. A gentle breeze blew, and his sleeves fluttered, making him seem somewhat desolate.

At this moment, Lin Fan and the Little Dog also fell silent, feeling the other party’s indescribable emotions of watching one Disciple after another die, powerless to do anything, like a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one.

“Senior, I’ve drunk this tea, am I the tenth person?” Lin Fan was bold and unafraid despite the deaths of the previous few.

Seeing his demeanor, the White-robed Man suddenly smiled, nodded, and said, “Waiting for an era, we finally meet. You are the tenth person, and the most special person I have ever seen. Are you not afraid?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? The greatest dark turmoil in history is about to come, sweeping through all the heavens. No one can avoid it. Can we escape by being afraid?” Lin Fan said calmly.

“You know quite a lot.” The White-robed Man was slightly surprised, then asked, “Are you related to Zu Ji Ling?”

“I am her adopted son!” Lin Fan answered seriously, the golden Willow branches wrapped around his arm, that was the Liu Shen Art.
