Villain: After Truncating the Heroine, the Protagonist Collapses

342: Ancient City! Forbidden Land OpportunityYang Yucheng took out an incense stick, and as the ash ignited and burned, the duration depended on how lucky the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace in front of him was.

Yang Yucheng stayed to the side.

He looked indifferent, letting out a sigh.

The Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace finally shouted.

”Junior is willing to lead Senior to the place where that Opportunity lies!”

”Very good!”

Yang Yucheng’s lips curled slightly upward.

Leading the way, the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace paused for a moment.

”Within the Forbidden Ground, it is terrifying, harboring many dangers. Senior still needs to be extra careful.”

The reason the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace said this was not only to remind him but also out of concern for his safety. If any unforeseen circumstances arose later, Yang Yucheng might blame her.

Her physique was certainly no match for him.

”Understood!”

Yang Yucheng didn’t care in the slightest.

What in this world isn’t dangerous? If one is afraid of danger, then they should just stay at home, eating, drinking, and playing all day.

Just sleep. Why cultivate the Dao? Why seek resources?

The two returned to the Jade Maiden Palace!

Yang Yucheng gave Li Huanhuan a look, signaling her to return to the Fengyun Sect first.

He waved his hand.

The Soul Spirit Insect and Fang Ningbing appeared.

Since they were going!

This Forbidden Ground was fraught with danger, so he naturally had to be fully prepared.

And it seemed that in this Lower Three Sects Heaven and Earth, no one would be more formidable than Fang Ningbing. Coupled with his trump cards, Yang Yucheng had multiple escape routes.

”Lead the way!”

Yang Yucheng sat atop the Soul Spirit Insect, instructing the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace in front of him.

The Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace nodded.

Fang Ningbing cast a questioning gaze.

Yang Yucheng explained softly.

He didn’t really care much about the Opportunity in that Forbidden Ground.

Perhaps.

For the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace, a mere Spirit Venerable Realm cultivator, it was an Opportunity, but for Yang Yucheng and even Fang Ningbing beside him, it might not be.

For example, an Opportunity for a Spirit King Realm cultivator, when it came before Yang Yucheng, was merely one of the many treasures in his Storage Ring, at most a few of them.

It really wasn’t much.

”Young Master, are you planning an adventure?”

Fang Ningbing asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

”Since this Opportunity has presented itself, wouldn’t it be a pity not to take a look?”

Yang Yucheng did not deny Fang Ningbing’s guess.

”That’s true.”

Excitement gleamed in Fang Ningbing’s eyes. It seemed that after their relationship developed, their interactions became more relaxed.

Her true nature was completely unleashed.

From a former ice queen goddess, she directly transformed into a lively Little girl, though not the naive and innocent type unaware of worldly affairs.

Instead, she had another side to her.

”Perhaps, at this place of Opportunity, there might be some Heaven and Earth Secret Treasure!”

”It might even help Young Master break through to the Spirit Sect Realm in one go, it’s not impossible.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Yucheng merely smiled faintly.

He didn’t hold such great hopes... Half a month later, they finally arrived at the location the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace had spoken of.

At a glance, this place was a giant city.

Golden sunlight bathed the giant city, making the surrounding Aura magnificent, like a top-grade spirit artifact, or even a Dao Artifact, emitting a profound Qi.

Although this Qi was not strong, it truly impacted the mind, making even Qingyun City seem somewhat inferior in comparison.

”It seems.”

Fang Ningbing twitched her nose, clearing up the doubts in Yang Yucheng’s mind, ”This place should be Ancient City.”

”Ancient City?”

Yang Yucheng asked.

Fang Ningbing continued to explain.

”Young Master should know that Heaven and Earth were originally one, but due to the concentration of Spiritual Qi, they were divided into two layers, one upper and one lower. But Ancient City didn’t care about these things.”

”In ancient times, the Spiritual Qi was extremely rich, so Heaven and Earth were naturally square, with major powers occupying various places.”

”A place like the Ancient City before us is extremely rare in today’s era.”

”I didn’t expect to still see its silhouette in this Lower Three Sects Heaven and Earth, especially this giant city, which looks so complete.”

Towards the end of her words, Fang Ningbing’s tone also held a hint of reverence.

The Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace’s explanation came.

”The Lower Three Sects Heaven and Earth cannot compare to the Upper Three Sects.”

”The Upper Three Sects Heaven and Earth has a rich concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so various major powers constantly innovate. Ancient buildings, having long been unable to keep up with the times, could not meet the power requirements of the Spirit Venerable Realm, Spirit Sect Realm, or even stronger cultivators, so they all had to be torn down and rebuilt.”

”But in the Lower Three Sects Heaven and Earth, these Ancient Cities, even if they only possess the power of the Spirit King Realm, are still sufficient for countless living beings to reside within.”

The Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace introduced again.

”For example, the Ancient City before us, this giant city, belongs to the subordinate forces of the Jade Maiden Palace. The Forbidden Ground was discovered a thousand years ago, so the Sect arranged for them to be specifically responsible for guarding it!”

”The Formation Great Masters under the Jade Maiden Palace have also set up many Restrictions. In times of crisis, it can even unleash the strength of the Spirit Emperor Realm.”

Entering the city!

The ancient architecture of Ancient City was indeed impressive. Every building was exceptionally grand, and their number was countless, dazzling to the eye, with the Aura and dominance of Ancient City visible everywhere.

Unfortunately, this Ancient City truly had no connection with the Jade Maiden Palace; it was merely a product of its era.

If the Jade Maiden Palace had such a city as its backing, Yang Yucheng would probably be far inferior. Since the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace was the current owner of this Ancient City, she acted as a guide.

She explained non-stop.

”And the Forbidden Ground discovered here by our Jade Maiden Palace! It is explained in ancient texts, said to be caused by an ancient war. It also seems to be connected to the world, will, and Heavenly Dao in the ethereal realm.”

”Although it’s only a few words, it shows the dangerous extent of such a Forbidden Ground.”

”And the reason I ended up in my current predicament!”

A bitter smile hung on the Palace Master of the Jade Maiden Palace’s face.

Changing from a female body to a male body, although it had no impact on him, it was still somewhat unfamiliar.

”It was the result of entering the Forbidden Ground!”

”It was also because Junior withdrew in time, otherwise, if there were any other strange powers in this Forbidden Ground, it would truly be unknown.”

They continued forward!

In Ancient City, there were many people, and also many cultivators. The reason they all gathered in this Ancient City was mostly to live off the land.

They lived off the nearby Forbidden Ground.

However, they were unaware of the secrets within the Forbidden Ground, so generally, they only stayed at the outer edges. The resources they obtained were enough for them to cultivate and even live well in this Ancient City.

Various mines formed from the edges and corners of the Forbidden Ground, with excellent profound iron and refined steel, were sufficient to forge some decent Spiritual Artifacts!

Although they were only Low Grade, occasionally some Medium Grade ones would appear.

But it still made the Ancient City before them a place of constant comings and goings.
