A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

The stalls in Tianyuan City only gradually disappeared two days before the opening of the Sanyuan Forbidden Land.

Chen Qingmo bought many things on the first day, but did not find anything useful afterwards.

He searched for a long time for the bluish-gray stone slabs, but they were not found at any of the stalls.

Chen Qingmo didn't know if the three stone fragments in his hand were all there was, but the forbidden area was about to open, and he didn't have time to think about it any longer.

Zhou Tinglong approached him again and told him some things about the forbidden area.

Most of it was the same as what Li Youchen said, with a small portion being new content.

At the same time, Zhou Tinglong introduced Shui Wennan to Chen Qingmo, so that the two could see each other's appearance.

Shui Wennan is under thirty years old and is a prodigy with dual spiritual roots.

If it weren't for the need to enter the Three Elements Forbidden Land, he could have broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm several years ago.

Even though he is currently suppressed to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he is still among the top cultivators.

Chen Qingmo sensed that his opponent was much stronger than himself, and that even with a top-tier magic weapon, he probably couldn't defeat him.

Sect cultivators with resources can usually easily defeat family cultivators of the same level.

Chen Qingmo sat in a teahouse, listening to the cultivators around him talking animatedly.

They had heard a lot from their elders and were very familiar with the Sanyuan Forbidden Land.

Moreover, the people did not muffle their voices when they were talking, as if they were intentionally saying it to others.

Before the forbidden area was opened, these family cultivators would often come to the teahouse to talk and discuss, looking for like-minded people to form a team to search for treasure.

Sect disciples, on the other hand, do not participate in these activities. They possess maps bestowed by their sects and can proceed ahead to some treasure troves within the forbidden area.

Even some family cultivators within the sect dare not reveal the contents of the map to their families.

Once the three sects find out, not only will the entire family be banned from entering, but the person who leaked the information will also be expelled from the sect.

Therefore, during these days, sect cultivators and family cultivators are clearly separated, like strangers.

Chen Qingmo couldn't help but sigh, realizing that affiliated families were ultimately outsiders.

Even if the upper sect provides quotas, it is merely to make the families willingly submit to its rule.

Even within each sect, there are numerous powerful families, let alone in other places.

Fortunately, the power of the sects was not controlled by the aristocratic families, which made things seem fairer.

"Fellow Daoist, I've noticed you've remained silent for quite some time. Perhaps you lack a suitable ally?"

A kind-looking cultivator sat down in front of Chen Qingmo.

"I am Guan Zhengbei, a member of the Guan family from Zezhou. Which family do you belong to, fellow Daoist?"

"Fellow Daoist Guan, I am Chen Qingmo from the Chen family of Leizhou."

Upon hearing the name of the Guan family in Zezhou, Chen Qingmo understood.

He has gathered a lot of information about families these days, including the Guan family.

The Guan family and the Chen family are similar; both are newly established Foundation Establishment families.

However, the Guan family was established more than ten years earlier than his family, so they had a spot in the Three Yuan Forbidden Land.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Chen Jiading must have made outstanding contributions, which is why the Yuanjian Sect made an exception and bestowed the token upon him."

Guan Zhengbei's eyes showed admiration, mixed with a hint of envy.

The Guan family struggled for nearly twenty years to barely obtain the token, while the Chen family caught up with them in just a few years. They are truly remarkable!

Chen Qingmo smiled but did not respond.

After exchanging tokens, the wandering Taoist priest left Linyuan County directly, and his family had no idea who this important figure was.

However, he guessed that it should be someone like an elder from one of the three major sects in Qi.

"Fellow Daoist just mentioned the matter of allies. I know very little about the Three Elements Forbidden Land, so I am not suitable to be an ally."

Chen Qingmo was not familiar with Guan Zhengbei. The other party looked honest and simple, but he might be very shrewd underneath.

He had no intention of forming alliances with anyone, as any uneven distribution of treasures would inevitably lead to discord.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be so quick to refuse. We are all alone here. Since I've come to you, I must have something tempting to offer."

As he spoke, Guan Zhengbei activated the soundproof barrier and whispered:

"I have a treasure-hunting compass. For people like us who don't have maps, this is the only way to get ahead of others."

"No interest," Chen Qingmo said decisively.

He also has a treasure-hunting mouse, so he doesn't need a treasure-hunting compass.

Guan Zhengbei wanted to persuade him a little more, but seeing Chen Qingmo close his eyes to rest, he shook his head, sighed, and went elsewhere.

Noticing Guan Zhengbei leave, Chen Qingmo opened her eyes and saw him saying the same things to other people.

Most people had no interest in this and sent Guan Zhengbei away.

A moment later, Guan Zhengbei's face showed a look of joy.

Chen Qingmo raised an eyebrow, surprised that someone was actually interested in this.

He observed that the opposing team consisted of three Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivators, making it difficult for Guan Zhengbei, a mere Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator, to claim any treasures from them.

However, Chen Qingmo understood Guan Zhengbei's situation, as many newly promoted family cultivators relied on this to move around in the forbidden area.

If Chen Qingmo didn't have the gray stone shards and other life-saving methods, he would have shamelessly relied on the Yuanjian Sect cultivators.

He shook his head, got up, and left the teahouse.

He has already gathered a lot of information, and he has no right to participate in matters concerning the sect. All he needs to do now is wait for the forbidden area to open.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qingmo arrived outside Tianyuan City and stood at the end of the group of family cultivators.

Several figures appeared out of thin air in the sky, with five people at the head.

Those were Golden Core cultivators from the three major sects: two from the Floating Cloud Sect, two from the Heavenly Fire Sect, and one from the Yuan Sword Sect.

Zhou Tinglong and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators waited quietly at the rear.

"Old Du, your Yuanjian Sect has quite a few elites this time, seven Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivators, more than before!"

The red-haired cultivator spoke up, revealing himself to be Wan Xingyan, a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Fire Sect.

The "Old Du" he mentioned was Du Tang of the Yuanjian Sect.

"Hmph, that's still not as good as your two sects. A sect with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge is just different."

Du Tang snorted coldly. Wan Xingyan seemed kind, but he was actually mocking them.

The other two major sects each have over a dozen Qi Refining Grand Perfection experts leading their teams, making them far stronger than them.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. As the only one of the three major sects without a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, their strength is simply weak.

After Du Tang finished speaking, he looked at the man and woman in the center, Cao Tong and Deng Yumei.

Those were Golden Core cultivators from the Floating Cloud Sect, all at the late Golden Core stage, and the strongest among the five of them.

Within their sect, he could be considered on par with the sect leader.

"It's noon now. Stop arguing and join us in opening the Three Elements Forbidden Zone."

Deng Yumei said softly, then took out three copper keys.

Seeing this, the others quickly formed hand seals and channeled spiritual power into the bronze key.

A moment later, three bronze keys were inserted into the ground out of thin air, and a sound immediately rang out, causing some people to tremble with fear.

"Don't panic, this is a sign that the forbidden area has opened."

Cao Tong loudly reassured the crowd below.

In mid-air, spiritual energy gathered around the three keys, gradually forming three vortex-shaped portals that radiated brilliant light.

Once the portal was completely stable, Cao Tong shouted, "Disciples, enter the secret realm!"

"You have three months to explore. After three months, regardless of life or death, the secret realm will close, and everyone will be expelled."

After Cao Tong finished speaking, the sect cultivators, dressed in three different types of robes, set off first, followed closely by the family cultivators.

They entered one by one, and there was no chaos or disorder.

Chen Qingmo followed at the back at a leisurely pace, with plenty of time and no need to rush.

Upon arriving at the gate of the vortex, he felt himself enveloped by a gentle yet irresistible spiritual energy.

This force separated everyone, which explains why they were so orderly when they got close.

After about ten breaths, Chen Qingmo felt grounded.

After looking around, he found no one nearby.

Filled with both nervousness and excitement, he began to venture deeper into the forbidden area.
