Livestreaming Forbidden Zone: Starting with a Qilin Tattoo Terrifies the Entire Internet

Jiang Han's fingers touched the palm-sized black wooden shrine.

At the same moment of contact, the dilapidated village ruins in front of me were wiped away completely.

The rotten wooden beams are gone, the collapsed walls are gone, and the rubble on the ground is gone.

Jiang Han remained standing in the same spot.

The house, however, had changed its appearance.

The windows were clean, the tables and chairs were neat, and there was hardly any dust on the tabletops, as if the owner had just wiped them down not long ago.

The stench was masked by the sandalwood.

From the black wooden shrine in front of him, wisps of colorful smoke rose and swirled in the air, trying to create an air of "ethereal beauty."

"Tsk, this looks familiar, kind of like a third-rate browser game."

Jiang Han turned around, aimed at the drone camera, and raised his hand to tap the cloud of multicolored smoke.

"See that?"

"Smoke, five colors."

"Let's look at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head of the Person in Front as well."

"The more I look at it, the more I feel like this thing is imitating the Taoist concept of 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Elements Returning to the Origin'?"

In the live broadcast room, the global audience and the experts from Bureau 749 were silent for a moment.

【What do "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" and "Five Elements Returning to the Origin" mean?】

[A phenomenal sign of a high level of Taoist cultivation! Legend says only terrestrial immortals possess such grandeur!]

Wait! Does God Jiang mean that this shrine is used for...cultivation?!

Jiang Han nodded as if he had seen the comments on the screen.

"I feel like I made a mistake earlier."

"Those coffins I took away, the people lying inside might not be villagers of Fengxian Village."

"I mean, I initially mistook the subject."

He reached out and pointed to the black wooden shrine that was emitting colorful smoke.

"This thing in front of us is probably the real 'villager' of Fengxian Village."

"The corpses in the coffins are merely the 'furnaces' they use for cultivation."

"Let's use a word that you can understand."

"Battery."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the live stream chat.

In the 749 Bureau Command Center, Long Guozhu stood up from his chair, his eyelids twitching, and he didn't look away for a long time.

Holy crap! The shrine is a villager, and the corpse is a battery?! This is mind-blowing...

[My scalp is tingling! So Jiang Shen just collected over a hundred 'batteries'?]

[I hereby declare that my CPU has burned out. You can continue.]

Jiang Han ignored the commotion in the live chat.

He leaned closer to the shrine and looked at the patterns on it.

"These patterns are not simple."

"Look here, part of it is cold and eerie, and it matches what I mentioned before as 'corpse disintegration and ascension'."

"The other part is older and more domineering."

"But the keywords have been removed."

He ran his fingertips over the blurry dents.

"Someone doesn't want the people who come after them to understand."

"A dispute over the orthodox tradition?"

"That's interesting."

This small village is even more profound than he had previously assessed.

Jiang Han reached out and tried to pick up the black wooden shrine.

It feels cool to the touch, with an uncomfortable, slippery sensation.

But he paused the moment the shrine was lifted off the table.

Beneath the black wooden shrine, there was another shrine pressing down.

It was a shrine carved from a single piece of mutton-fat white jade.

The jade was warm and lustrous, and its celestial aura was righteous and strong, clearly counteracting the evil aura of the black wooden shrine above.

Inside the white jade shrine, a jade statue is enshrined.

The jade statue's face was blurred, only its outline could be seen, but its transcendent Taoist aura was undeniable.

Jiang Han said to the camera, "That's not right."

"There is more than one shrine here."

"There were two stacked together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and ethereal voice emanated from the white jade statue.

"A thousand spells, an endless path, I ask only one question: Can one become an immortal?"

The words seemed to fall from the heavens, carrying both majesty and compassion, pressing directly into everyone's heart.

"Are you seeking immortality, sir?"

"If not, then please return to where you came from."

"If so, please enter the shrine and attain immortality with me."

The ethereal music lingered in my ears, captivating my soul.

Everyone in the live stream who heard these words felt a chill run down their spines, and a sense of piety and longing welled up from the very marrow of their bones.

Holy crap! There really are immortals!

[That aura! That presence! He must be a highly accomplished master!]

[Jiang Shen! Say yes! This is an incredible opportunity!]

The comments section went crazy.

In the 749 Bureau Command Center, Long Guozhu clenched his fists, his breathing becoming labored, while several experts beside him were so excited that their faces turned red.

They witnessed the myth firsthand.

Jiang Han merely raised an eyebrow.

He looked at the jade statue and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the local immortal."

"What happened to those explorers who entered this area before?"

"them?"

The earth immortal spoke with a smile.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery spun around.

Jiang Han found himself standing in a void.

More than a dozen statues of gods appeared before me.

He recognized him at a glance.

The faces of these statues are those of expedition members who entered Fengxian Village and never came out again, as listed in the missing persons lists published by various countries.

They all became stone statues and were enshrined in their respective shrines.

He even had a strange, satisfied smile on his face.

They seem to be enjoying what is called "immortality".

This scene caused the rationality of audiences worldwide to be swayed by the word "immortality".

It's Professor Smith! The captain of that expedition from the US! Look how happy he is!

[And there's Master Yamamoto from Japan! He's become an immortal too!]

[Don't hesitate, host! This is immortality! Humanity's ultimate dream!]

[Quickly become an apprentice! Quickly become an apprentice! (✧∇✧)]

Despite global pressure, Jiang Han's expression remained unchanged.

He seemed moved by this "miracle," his face displaying just the right amount of longing and curiosity.

"My lord, where do you mean by ascension?"

"Could it be... the Heavenly Court of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

He threw out this crucial name.

Upon hearing the words "Great Qin Heavenly Court," the Earth Immortal's tone became slightly dismissive.

"The Heavenly Court? Heh, that's all in the past."

"Those who attain enlightenment today go to the supreme 'Celestial Court'!"

The Earth Immortal, in a condescending tone, corrected Jiang Han's mistaken perception as a "mortal".

But at the very moment the words "Celestial Court" were uttered.

Jiang Han, his face still showing innocent curiosity, retreated cleanly.

He looked at the jade statue, his eyes filled with coldness.

The ethereal music that lingered in the illusion seemed to be dampened by his gaze.

He spoke, his voice not loud, yet it made the vast celestial sound pause.

"Well written."

"pity......"

"You mentioned a name you shouldn't have."
