"That is an extremely perilous forbidden land, so dangerous that within a hundred li, few living creatures dare to approach. There are many trees, but hardly any snakes, insects, rodents, or rabbits, let alone people."
"That forbidden land... has no guards, because no one dares to guard it. Instead, the Imperial Court has deployed heavy troops on some key routes leading to that land to prevent anyone from entering."
"Then... since there are heavy troops guarding it, Daoist Priest Fan and the others shouldn’t be able to go to such a dangerous place, right?" When she heard that even the Imperial Court dared not guard that place, Yun Jiuqing swallowed silently and asked weakly.
Yun Shouji glanced at her, "Do you think the soldiers in the army would stop a Commandery Prince?"
"Ah, this..." Yun Jiuqing found no rebuttal to this.
It seemed... that was indeed the case.
As long as His Highness the Prince of Nanjun showed his waist token, even if the place was extremely dangerous, it would probably be like walking into his own backyard.
No one would dare to stop him.
So!
"So the Prince of Nanjun is taking Daoist Priest Fan to that extremely dangerous Great Demon Forbidden Land?" After understanding some of the key points, Yun Jiuqing’s eyes widened in shock, "Father, shouldn’t you hurry to stop the two of them?"
Yun Shouji sighed, "Do you think, with their level of cultivation and spiritual power, that I would make it in time if I rushed over now? It has already taken you the time of several incense sticks to hurry back from the inn."
"But... but there couldn’t be dangers within the Great Demon Forbidden Land that threaten one’s life, right?" Yun Jiuqing quickly asked, "His Highness the Prince of Nanjun has survived fine inside for thirty years..."
"That is not necessarily true." Yun Shouji shook his head, "In any case, all we can do is to meet with Fan Wu and His Highness the Prince of Nanjun. Meanwhile, we also have to guard against the possibility that something bizarre might emerge from the Great Demon Forbidden Land."
"I have never been to that place myself; I have only watched the forbidden land from a distance. It is said that the land had already appeared during the previous dynasty."
"That at least means it has a history of a thousand years, or even several thousand years is not impossible."
"..."
...
"The Great Demon Forbidden Land has a history of ten thousand years." The Prince of Nanjun rattled on throughout the journey, the word he mentioned the most, making Fan Wu feel very unfamiliar, was "Great Demon Forbidden Land."
However, having it buzzed in his ear non-stop, even such an unfamiliar term became familiar.
"Back then, my imperial grandfather tossed me here. He reminded me that I should stick to the fringes and never venture deep inside. But... at that time, I simply couldn’t bear such loneliness."
The Prince of Nanjun continued, "Then I left the outskirts of the Great Demon Forbidden Land, depending on my modest cultivation to venture deeper. I believed that I wouldn’t encounter any problems. If I did, even if I couldn’t fight it off, I could still run."
"Fortunately... I didn’t encounter any danger but found a whole new world within the Great Demon Forbidden Land! I’m not talking about a new place, I’m talking about a new understanding!"
"A completely new understanding! It overturned my conception of the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas, and it also made me realize that blindly worshiping them is useless!"
The Prince of Nanjun scratched his head, "Yet the trouble is, my insights on this matter aren’t deep enough. I can’t quite understand; if one doesn’t believe in the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas, if one doesn’t study Taoist magic, doesn’t practice Buddhist Law, doesn’t dabble with the crafty arts of the rural Evil Gods, then how can one have the power to subdue demons?"
"After all, even I, who know so much, was still using Taoist Magic in the end. It feels like either my comprehension is too low, or perhaps, I’m just not pure enough."
"But you!"
"You are different from me! I believe you are purer than I am, possessing an extremely terrifying level of spiritual power in a way I do not know. This means that there is no one in this world more suitable than you to understand those things!"
The Prince of Nanjun said excitedly, "You don’t know how beneficial it will be to comprehend those things."
"The dream of Cultivators to become immortals."
"It’s just a beginning, that’s all!"
Facing the Prince of Nanjun, who had once again become somewhat delirious, Fan Wu felt as if he was walking alongside a madman. He took a glance at the man.
He posed a soul-searchingly critical question, "How can you be sure that what you saw... wasn’t a deception?"
The Prince of Nanjun was taken aback.
"Deception?" He emphatically shook his head, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That is the truth of the universe’s creation, the verity of the Three Thousand Laws, the true face of the myriad Heavenly Gods and Buddhas... It’s normal for you to doubt it, because it sounds too absurd at first."
"You’ll know when you get there!"
"Exactly!"
"Yes, just like that!"
"You must tell me everything you understand once you get through it since it’s me who is bringing you into that place. If you can comprehend those things, I have a small part in it too!"
Both of them traveled at a very fast pace, with the Prince of Nanjun possibly too excited, eager to bring Fan Wu into the Great Demon Forbidden Land.
He was performing a fast-paced light-footedness technique all along the way.
If an ordinary person saw the Prince of Nanjun at this moment, they would only see a fleeting shadow darting past them, possibly mistaking it for some low-flying bird. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
There are not many in the Nanjun Prefecture Government who could keep up with his speed.
