If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Zhao Ruyue understood better than anyone what Xianyue meant.

She knew that Crescent Moon was reminding her to be careful that Heaven and Earth might enter the Destruction Forbidden Land through other forbidden areas.

After all, the Forbidden Zone of Destruction has already been opened up thanks to Shen Bai. Although it is the last barrier, there is no guarantee that something will not go wrong.

Even if other restricted areas are heavily guarded, there will still be loopholes.

Shen Bai looked around and said, "If that's the case, perhaps it's not a bad thing."

The two were talking, but after Shen Bai said those words, they turned around and looked at Shen Bai with a questioning look.

The destruction of the Forbidden Zone, a closed space, was inherently a bad thing, but Shen Bai said it wasn't.

They were all puzzled and didn't understand why they would have such an idea.

Shen Bai slowly said, "The Destruction Forbidden Land was originally created to fight against the struggle between Heaven and Earth and the Death Forbidden Land. If it is simply sealed off, what good is it even if it is the last barrier?"

"Now that all ten forbidden zones can enter the Destruction Forbidden Zone through special channels, it means that the Destruction Forbidden Zone will receive reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruyue's eyes lit up slightly.

She carefully considered what Shen Bai said and felt that it made some sense.

Originally, the destroyed forbidden area was essentially fighting alone, as it existed as the last line of defense.

Now that other forbidden areas can also connect with the Destruction Forbidden Area, this means that if other forbidden areas can no longer defend themselves, they may be able to enter the Destruction Forbidden Area and become its last barrier.

Within the Forbidden Land of Destruction, the final battle will take place against the entire world.

The fact that people from the Ten Forbidden Zones can enter means that the Destruction Forbidden Zone will have support and will no longer be fighting alone.

Just as Shen Bai said, this is not a bad thing; it has both advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that Heaven and Earth could potentially enter the Destruction Forbidden Land quietly through special means, while the upside is that the Destruction Forbidden Land would no longer be alone, but would have other forbidden lands to support it.

Xian Yue was also pondering Shen Bai's words. After Shen Bai finished speaking, she thought for a moment and said, "We will communicate with the people from other forbidden areas about this matter. As for the specifics of how to proceed, I will send someone over to discuss it in detail with Chief Zhao."

This was no small matter, and she couldn't make a decision on her own. So she decided to wait until she returned and communicate with the other people from the forbidden area to see if she could come up with a proper solution.

At this moment, everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be said had been said clearly. Xian Yue had no intention of staying any longer, so she turned her gaze to Shen Bai.

"Let's go, let's head to the desolate forbidden land."

Shen Bai had long been very curious about the Desolate Forbidden Land, and when he heard Xian Yue say that he wanted to go there, his eyes also showed excitement, and he did not refuse.

Then, Crescent Moon waved slightly at the void in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared in the void, and the desolate aura of the barren forbidden land poured out from the crack, instantly spreading throughout the entire graveyard.

Fortunately, the desolate atmosphere did not affect the graveyard of the destroyed forbidden area.

Shen Bai turned to Zhao Ruyue and said, "Clan Chief Zhao, I'll be leaving now."

Zhao Ruyue nodded, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

"The situation has changed, and the previous strategies should now be adapted accordingly."

"Savior, you are the only variable. I hope you can change this world."

Shen Bai said, "I will do my best."

By now, Shen Bai felt a heavy burden weighing on his shoulders, creating a sense of urgency.

But everything was fate, and he did not resist it.

Now, we must give it our all.

As for the outcome, let fate decide.

Shen Bai stopped talking to Zhao Ruyue and then followed Xuan Yue into the crevice ahead.

The crack slowly closed, and the cemetery returned to normal once again.

Zhao Ruyue looked up at the surrounding graves, a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"You have all put in so much effort to create the Destroyed Forbidden Land we have today. The savior has appeared, and the decisive battle against this world is just around the corner."

"May you all bless us to achieve victory and rewrite the cycle of the past."

Zhao Ruyue bowed slightly to the graves in front of her, and then left.

……

After Shen Bai stepped into the crevice, he felt a blur before his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a vast aura of desolation enveloped him.

The desolate aura seemed to assimilate everything, and Shen Bai could feel his own Qi gradually becoming desolate.

But at that moment, a golden light suddenly flashed and landed on Shen Bai's brow.

Shen Bai felt that the aura of the desolate forbidden land was gradually becoming gentler, no longer violent, and no longer corroding every inch of his flesh and blood.

The voice of the crescent moon rang in my ears.

"Alright, there's no danger now."

Before him, the blurry scenery gradually became clear, and once everything was clear, Shen Bai found himself standing on solid ground.

Ahead lay a green meadow, brimming with life.

Although the surroundings were filled with an endless sense of desolation, the green grass underfoot remained completely unaffected.

Shen Bai knew that the golden light must have been emitted by Crescent Moon, and asked in surprise, "This is enough to resist the aura of the desolate forbidden land?"

He hadn't expected it to be so simple.

If that's the case, then the desolate forbidden land is indeed not as dangerous as imagined.

Crescent Moon shrugged and said, "It really is that simple. People regard the desolate forbidden land as a raging flood, but it is actually the safest place."

"Come on, come with me, you'll see many amazing things."

Shen Bai nodded, said no more, and followed Xian Yue in one direction.

Ahead lies lush green grass, and the scenery between the mountains and rivers is truly beautiful.

If it weren't for the desolate atmosphere, this place would seem more like a wonderful tourist destination than one of the ten forbidden areas.

Along the way, Shen Bai even saw birds and beasts living comfortably in this desolate forbidden land.

"This place is so different from what I imagined," Shen Bai said.

Crescent Moon turned around, a half-smile on her face: "What's the difference?"

Shen Bai pointed around: "If we remove the aura of the desolate forbidden land, I think this is an extremely suitable place for retirement. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant. It would be a wonderful thing to live in seclusion here."

Crescent Moon smiled and said, "That's true. This place is extremely suitable for retirement, but it's also very unsuitable."

She spoke mysteriously, but did not explain in detail.

Shen Bai did not continue to discuss this topic.

The two then moved closer and closer to the front.

At this moment, after they had walked for nearly an hour, the outline of a city finally appeared in front of them.

From a distance, the city appears extremely magnificent.

An ancient and desolate atmosphere permeated the area, creating a sense of oppression at first glance. At the very top of the city hung a plaque inscribed with the words "Desolate City."

Two men in matching uniforms stood guard at the entrance, exuding a powerful aura.

As Shen Bai approached, he paused slightly in surprise: "The Ascending to the Peak Realm?"

Outside, experts at the Ascending Realm are considered top-tier, yet here in this desolate forbidden land, they are guarding the city gate.

Crescent Moon smiled slightly: "What you've seen is just a tiny corner; you'll see much more once you go inside."

Shen Bai nodded without speaking, and followed Xian Yue into the city gate.

Upon seeing that it was Xian Yue, the two experts at the peak of cultivation did not stop her; instead, they respectfully clasped their fists in greeting.

Their gazes toward Shen Bai also held a hint of curiosity.

Before long, Shen Bai, led by Xian Yue, entered the city streets.

There are stalls set up on both sides of the street.

Vendors from various stalls also stood in front of the stalls.

But Shen Bai was slightly surprised when he glanced over and sensed the powerful aura emanating from these vendors.

Any one of the vendors here, if they stepped out of the desolate forbidden area, would be a powerful figure in Shen Bai's world.

But here, they set up stalls just like ordinary people.

He couldn't help but be surprised.

Crescent Moon turned around and said, "The surprises are yet to come."

She enjoyed revealing the secrets of the desolate forbidden land to Shen Bai, little by little.

She felt a great sense of accomplishment.

After all, Shen Bai's identity is that of a savior of the world, and if we really talk about status, he is much higher than her.

Under the guidance of Xian Yue, Shen Bai soon encountered someone.

At this moment, the Drunken Taoist was dressed in a Taoist robe, his hair was in a crooked bun, and he was reading a Taoist book in his hand.

He sat on the steps of the street, a look of utter rapture on his face.

After helping Shen Bai destroy the three major demonic forces, the Drunken Taoist entered the desolate forbidden land.

When Shen Bai saw the Drunken Taoist, he was slightly surprised.

He walked towards the Drunken Taoist and stood in front of him.

At this moment, the Drunken Taoist seemed to sense someone approaching. He looked up, saw Shen Bai, and smiled knowingly.

"You've come in too. Quickly, come quickly and study the Taoist scriptures with me."

As he spoke, the Drunken Taoist pulled Shen Bai aside, wanting Shen Bai to look at the book in his hand together.

Unexpectedly, Xian Yue raised his hand and said, "Daoist Master, he has other matters to attend to and does not have time to study the Daoist scriptures."

Upon hearing this, the Drunken Taoist released Shen Bai's hand and said, "In that case, we will follow Miss Crescent Moon's orders."

At this point, the Drunken Taoist seemed unwilling to speak to Shen Bai any further, and continued to gaze intently at the Taoist book in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Shen Bai glanced at the book and discovered that what was mentioned in the Taoist text were all extremely profound techniques.

He possesses a mind-disrupting spell, a Taoist supernatural power, so he can naturally understand it.

Such a profound technique would be treasured even by a major power if it were released to the outside world.

Crescent Moon continued walking forward: "Let's go, we can talk as we walk."

Shen Bai nodded and continued to follow behind Xian Yue.

At this moment, every time someone passed by, Shen Bai would hear Xian Yue explaining to that person.

Every passerby held a book in their hand, engrossed in reading it.

"This is a hegemon from a very ancient era, whose strength is probably at the peak level, which is extremely terrifying."

"This is a city lord who almost died during the Wancheng era. He entered the desolate forbidden area and has been staying here ever since."

"And this one..."

Each of them has an extremely terrifying identity; they are all top figures from a very distant era.

Shen Bai became increasingly puzzled as he listened, and then asked, "What are those things they're holding?"

This is something that everyone who passes by has in common, and it's also what makes Shen Bai feel puzzled.

Crescent Moon stopped and turned to say, "Cultivation techniques, all kinds of top-tier cultivation techniques. This is also the mission of the Desolate Forbidden Land."

Shen Bai became increasingly confused as he listened, and then asked, "Explain it more clearly."

Now that we've gotten to the most important thing, there's no need for Crescent Moon to hide anything.

Shen Bai now wants to know the deepest secret hidden in this desolate forbidden land.

The crescent moon stopped, then looked up at the azure sky and slowly said, "The desolate forbidden land contains the most supreme martial arts techniques in the world, as vast as the ocean, countless in number."

"The reason for gathering these cultivation techniques is to recruit the world's top talents to jointly comprehend these supreme techniques and improve their strength. Do you understand now?"

Shen Bai raised an eyebrow and said, "So you mean to train these top-tier humans to become even more top-tier, and then use them to fight against this world?"

Considering the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Bai could only come to this conclusion.

Crescent Moon smiled slightly: "You guessed right. This is the most important mission in the Desolate Forbidden Land. The most outstanding people who enter this place will also know the secrets of this world. They will be willing to stay in the Desolate Forbidden Land, learn the world's most powerful skills, and eventually become the force to resist the world."

Crescent Moon continued walking forward, and after passing through another alley, she stopped outside a room.

"Would you like to go in and take a look? I'll wait for you here. After you come out, we'll go see the chieftain of the desolate forbidden land."

Shen Bai frowned as he looked at the ordinary-looking wooden house in front of him and said, "What do you want me to see?"

He couldn't understand what the crescent moon meant. He was completely unfamiliar with this place, so what was there to see?

Crescent Moon raised her hand, pushed the door open, pointed to the scene inside, and said, "You'll see when you see it."

Shen Bai looked in the direction the crescent moon pointed and was slightly surprised by the scene inside the wooden house.

Inside the wooden house, the Holy Martial Emperor had a rosy complexion and his injuries had long since healed. He was holding a golden book and reading it with great interest.

Opposite Emperor Shengwu sat the emperor of the previous dynasty.

The former emperor and the Holy Martial Emperor sat facing each other, and there was no conflict between them. Both of them were carefully reading books.

The tea on the table had long since gone cold.

Shen Bai understood what Xian Yue meant, and then stepped inside, placing his hand on Han Yue at his waist.

If it were just Emperor Shengwu, it would be fine, but now there's also a former emperor.

If he remembered correctly, the previous emperor also wanted to take action against him.

Upon noticing footsteps, the Holy Martial Emperor subconsciously raised his head.

When he saw Shen Bai, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
