Qi Yuan looked towards the source of the voice and felt a sharp sensation.
When he looked closely, he saw an amiable old man.
However, this old man gave Qi Yuan a strange feeling.
It seed as if... he wasn't a living person.
Suddenly, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He protected Xiao Jia behind him and held his long sword towards the old man.
He spoke, "You are a demonic entity!"
Qi Yuan saw that the inside of the old man's body was empty. The entire person was just a human skin.
The old man still maintained a kindly smile: "You could say I am a demonic entity, but also not."
Qi Yuan carefully examined the old man again.
He sensed a strong tallic aura from the old man.
A guess ford in his mind.
The old man said, "The na I had in life has long been forgotten.
After being devoured by extraterritorial demons, I died, leaving only this human skin behind.
Upon entering the Five Elents Forbidden Land, I gained a new lease on life.
Now, I am called Jin Zu. I am neither human nor non-human, neither alive nor dead."
Qi Yuan looked at Jin Zu and understood.
Jin Zu was now just a vessel for tal attributes.
He didn't even have a soul.
Only a persistent will remained.
Thus, he was as good as dead.
"What do you want from ?" Qi Yuan asked, his vigilance unrelenting.
"Lord Tong of the Yin-Yang Forbidden Land must have invited the Master of the Clothing Departnt to the demon-extermination assembly three hundred years later.
Since we all are beings of the Moonwatch Continent, we should unite against the extraterritorial demons. Otherwise, we might end up like my forr self—dead, leaving only a human skin." Jin Zu sighed.
Qi Yuan looked at Jin Zu. Despite being just a human skin, he felt more comfortable with him than with the elders and disciples of the Black Mountain Sect.
"I must exterminate the extraterritorial demons!" Qi Yuan's attitude was firm.
The big boss must be dealt with.
His heavenly foundation was tied to the big boss.
Upon hearing this, Jin Zu's amiable expression deepened: "Now that the Master of the Clothing Departnt has co to the Five Elents Forbidden Land, we are willing to open the Five Elents Training Grounds.
In the Five Elents Training Grounds, there are energies of the five elents that can strengthen oneself and enhance cultivation.
In our Five Elents Forbidden Land, many young prodigies are cultivating.
Over thousands of years, new powerful beings have erged, so even reaching the divine realm.
With three hundred years until the demon-extermination assembly, the Master of the Clothing Departnt could train in the Five Elents Training Grounds for a hundred years and possibly make significant progress."
"Are there monsters inside?" Qi Yuan asked.
Jin Zu was montarily stunned but replied, "Yes."
"No problem." If there were monsters, he could level up.
Jin Zu's face maintained a constant smile: "Master of the Clothing Departnt, please follow ."
Qi Yuan did not move and instead looked at Jin Zu: "I have another purpose for coming to the Five Elents Forbidden Land."
The Five Elents Forbidden Land was different from the Clothing Departnt Forbidden Area and the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area.
In other forbidden areas, he could gain control by defeating monsters.
Of course, the Clothing Departnt Forbidden Area was an exception as it required marrying Xiao Jia.
The Five Elents Forbidden Land seed to have many dormant powerful beings, unlike the clothing monsters. He couldn't just kill them all, and it seed killing them wouldn't yield experience points.
How to gain control?
"Master of the Clothing Departnt, please speak." Jin Zu's attitude was amiable.
"I want to fully control the Five Elents Forbidden Land. Is there a way?" Qi Yuan asked Jin Zu.
Hearing this, Jin Zu was taken aback.
Obviously, this purpose was unexpected.
He hadn't responded yet.
A displeased voice ca from behind. It was a green-clad woman, looking cute and short but fierce like a girl who aced her exams.
She looked angry: "How dare you, Master of the Clothing Departnt, try to take control of our Five Elents Forbidden Land!
Do you know what that ans?
I suspect you're a spy sent by the extraterritorial demons, otherwise why would you suddenly appear!"
If it weren't for Jin Zu being there, this green-clad woman would have probably jumped up and slapped Qi Yuan's head.
Jin Zu looked at the girl, smiling indulgently: "Xiao Lu, don't be rude to our guest."
Then he turned to Qi Yuan: "Master of the Clothing Departnt, gaining control of the Five Elents Forbidden Land is indeed difficult.
It depends on your talent.
If you, Master of the Clothing Departnt, exhibit unparalleled talent in the Five Elents Training Grounds, what harm is there in you controlling the Five Elents Forbidden Land?"
Qi Yuan looked past Jin Zu, seemingly seeing through the Five Elents Forbidden Land. He saw many coffins and sensed many dormant auras.
Each one was above level ninety.
Among them, so surpassed the Ugly Clothing Emperor, likely above level ninety-five.
"In the Five Elents Forbidden Land, you don't seem to be the strongest. Can you decide to give control?"
"Of course I can decide!" Jin Zu said confidently.
"Good, it's a deal." Qi Yuan responded, "It seems it won't be long before I clear the Five Elents Forbidden Land."
The green-clad woman looked at Qi Yuan with dissatisfaction and turned to Jin Zu, communicating telepathically: "Grandpa Jin Zu, how can you make such a promise with him!"
Jin Zu smiled without speaking.
Led by Jin Zu, the group walked deeper into the forbidden land.
Along the way, Qi Yuan kept surveying his surroundings.
The Five Elents Forbidden Land indeed had no other monsters, but there were many natural and geographical disasters, extrely dangerous.
Creatures around level fifty or sixty entering rashly would likely die.
After about a quarter of an hour, Jin Zu led the group to a valley.
In the valley, there were over seventy coffins.
Qi Yuan knew that many powerful beings were dormant in these coffins.
Jin Zu said, "Most of the powerful beings of the Moonwatch Continent are gathered in the Five Elents Forbidden Land and the Yin-Yang Forbidden Land.
They are in these coffins, both to rest and to cultivate.
When the demon-extermination assembly begins, they will erge from the coffins.
By then, Master of the Clothing Departnt, you will join them in exterminating the extraterritorial demons."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan remained silent.
Three hundred years, he couldn't wait that long.
How old was he now?
In three hundred years, even a dynasty could be wiped out.
Jin Zu continued talking to himself, then he walked to a coffin and knocked on it lightly.
There was no response from the coffin.
Seeing this, he knocked harder a few more tis.
Still, there was no response.
Jin Zu looked puzzled: "Hmm?"
At this mont, the adjacent coffin lid suddenly lifted, and a rough-looking man with a wild deanor sat up: "Jin Zu, has your mory gone with your forr self? You even knocked on the wrong coffin!"
Seeing the rough man, Jin Zu's face showed a trace of embarrassnt: "Ahem, an accident."
The rough man then looked at Qi Yuan, his eyes seemingly scrutinizing: "Not bad, even with the help of the wedding dress empress, you're a good seedling.
It was worth using my essence to open the Five Elents Training Grounds for you.
I hope in three hundred years, you can beco a major power!"
