Chapter 79 - 79: Forbidden Land Defense Line
When Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian returned, Xu Fan took the things they bought and went to the Alchemy Room.
Three days later, Xu Fan brought Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian to the Illusion Chamber.
“The Soul Illusion Realm created by your master can’t directly increase your cultivation level when you practice inside, but the battle skills and secret methods you learn can be brought out.”
“This kind of time discrepancy in the Soul Illusionary World is against the heavens, but staying inside for a long time is also harmful.” Xu Fan took out a bottle of elixir and poured a green pill for each of them.
“This is the Soul Supplement Pill, which can compensate for the after-effects of spending a long time in the Soul Illusionary World.”
“After you take it, you will stay in the Soul Illusionary World for 2 years, and in the real world for one month.’
“You two should study the secret techniques and practice your battle skills inside. I will occasionally enter the Soul Illusion Realm to check on you,” Xu Fan said.
Actually, this Illusion Chamber was transformed from a Treasure Artifact made by Xu Fan, and its precious degree could rank top three among the artifacts that Xu Fan had refined.
The main function of this Refining Room was to fix the Illusion Arts cast by Xu Fan and to directly use them on the soul.
Watching his two disciples entering the Illusory World, Xu Fan began his own work.
This month, Xu Fan never felt as busy before. He was refining the Palm Farm, an order from a big shot, which he couldn’t give up. Moreover, he still needed a large amount of Spirit Stones.
Besides refining artifacts, he also had to guide his two disciples in the Illusory World.
Xu Fan could now receive information about the Demon Clan every day.
As the number of demons increased, there were now millions of demons gathered in the frontier lands, with five Mahayana Demon Venerables sitting in town.
The Demon Clan had already invaded more than a dozen small countries in the frontier lands, and wherever they went, the Blood Sea followed.
As the news spread, all Mahayana Cultivators of Xiangzhou gathered to destroy the demon’s transfer point.
At this moment, the Lone Sword Immortal Esteemed One of Xiangzhou destroyed the demon’s transfer point with one sword, severely injuring two Mahayana Demon Venerables before leaving gracefully.
As Xu Fan finished refining the last Palm Farm, the Demon Clan had retreated to the edge of Xiangzhou and settled in a Forbidden Area, sending a message that if anyone dared to attack the Forbidden Area, they would unseal the ancient giant monster inside.
Finally, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan reached an agreement that they would not attack the Forbidden Area, but the demons would be responsible for the consequences when they came out. As a result, the Sect built a 3,000-mile defense line outside the Forbidden Area, blocking the entrance tightly.
“l always feel that this is not over yet.” Xu Fan touched his chin and said.
At this point, Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian had also experienced two years of training.
At this moment, the communication device of Xu Fan and his two disciples rang, and there was a message on it, asking the disciples who received the message to join the Sect Elders and head to the front line together.
At this moment, the Forbidden Bell Sound rang, and the long-lost Brother Stupid walked in.
“Junior Brother Xu, you got the message, right? I specially recommended you to the elders,” said Brother Stupid with his hearty voice.
Did I offend you? Why did you do this to me?
“Senior Brother Sha, why did you do this?” Xu Fan suppressed his desire to kill the stupid person in front of him.
“This time is a good opportunity. Several Sects have decided to set up a large number of Five Elements Cannons outside the Forbidden Land Defense Line.
At that time, all Refining Masters in Xiangzhou, even the Artifact Refining
Grandmasters, will go to the defense line to arrange the huge cannons.”
“So, I specially asked the Master to let me take you with me. During that time, we, the younger generation of artificers, can observe them on one side.” Brother Stupid appeared to be doing good deeds without being praised.
“Thank you then.” Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said. He couldn’t refine the huge cannon just because of his own cultivation level, but if he really needed it, he could play with it skillfully.
“Pack up, and we’ll set off on the Sect’s warship tomorrow.”
On the second day, when Xu Fan stepped on the warship, he felt a little unreal, but his two disciples beside him were extremely happy, as it had been a long time since they last left with their Master on a trip.
This time, the Sect had dispatched a total of four Floating Skyships as escort warships, and they needed to station somewhere for a while.
Standing at the bow of the warship, Xu Yuexian laughed as she looked at her master, knowing that the thing Xu Fan least wanted to do was to travel far.
“Master, don’t sigh, there will be no danger on this trip. It is said that there are six Mahayana Period Venerables in the Forbidden Land Defense Line alone.” Xu Yuexian looked at Xu Fan, who was sighing, and advised him.
“Indeed, let’s just treat it as a vacation.” Xu Fan looked down at the tiny land beneath the ship and said.
Originally, he had prepared a bunch of stuff for his disciple, but he didn’t expect that he would have to go out himself in the end.
After flying in the sky for three days, the warships finally arrived above the Forbidden Land Defense Line.
“My god, this is just too…”
The entrance to the Forbidden Area was a poisonous marsh forest that stretched for over three thousand kilometers. The Forbidden Land Defense
Line consisted of a large camp every fifty miles, and an Esteemed One scaclonea every eignc nunarea miles.
Xu Fan looked at the magnificent Immortal City below and couldn’t help but sigh, “Just how large are the resources needed here?”
A big hand patted Xu Fan’s shoulder.
“Do you feel like it’s a bit of an overkill?”
“Actually, no. Since the Demon Clan has invaded here, it means that they have already mastered the space coordinates of this place.”
Xu Fan looked at Brother stupid, patting his shoulder, and thought, go ahead, show off your extensive knowledge.
“What will happen if they master the space coordinates?” Xu Fan asked.
“If they master the space coordinates of this place, they can directly transport a large number of demons here at a certain cost.”
“Now our Heavenly Dao still recognizes the Demon Clan’s identity.”
Xu Fan was taken aback. What did recognizing identity mean?
Seeing Xu Fan’s puzzled expression, Brother stupid knew that his identity as a scholar who read extensively was about to be exposed.
“As you know, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Demon Clan was the master of this world. Although they were driven out, the Heavenly Dao still recognizes their identity.”
“Don’t ask why. I’ll tell you directly that the Demon Clan, which unified the two realms at that time, wanted to merge the two realms into one to form an even stronger world.”
“But in the end, just as the will of the Heavenly Dao of the two realms was merging halfway, the Human Clan rose up and halted the merger of the two realms.’
“However, unfortunately, even though it was halted, the will of the Heavenly Dao of the two realms could no longer be separated.”
“So now, when the Demon Clan enters the Human Realm or the Human Clan enters the Demon Realm, neither will be rejected by the Will of Heaven.”
Xu Fan looked at the sky, feeling that the danger level of the world he was in had just increased. In the past, he had never heard of worlds being merged in novels he read before.
“What does Junior Brother Xu think?” Brother stupid looked at Xu Fan and asked.
Xu Fan had an expression as if he had just finished reading the top ten unsolved mysteries of the world.
“There is no absolutely safe place in this world,” Xu Fan looked up at the sky and muttered, hoping that what he imagined would never happen.
At this moment, Xu Fan deeply hated Ye Xiaoyao. If this guy was really the protagonist, then the entire Cultivation World would probably not be at ease.
In the past, when Xu Fan read novels, there were worlds that had been at peace for thousands of years, realms that had not witnessed battles in tens of thousands of years, worlds that had sealed away monsters capable of destroying the world, and many similar scenarios.
As long as the protagonist appeared, they would all have to fight.
“How many years has it been since our Human Clan and Demon Clan last had a large-scale battle?” Xu Fan asked.
“It has been over ten thousand years since the Demon Clan revolted at the junction of the two realms in the Central Continent. That battle involved almost all the cultivators in the entire Cultivation World..
