”I have no problem with it. I’ve long wanted to see what the forbidden lands in the Nine Provinces Land are like.”

Ling Chen nodded. Any genius in the Nine Provinces Land has ventured into forbidden lands. They are prepared for geniuses, as ordinary people lack the potential and can easily perish there. Geniuses, on the other hand, can unleash their potential in dire situations, possibly taking their strength to the next level.

”Alright then, including you, we now have twelve people from the Green Mountain Association heading to the Burial Dragon Ancient Land this time.”

Sima Linyuan nodded. The Burial Dragon Ancient Land is indeed a dangerous place that not everyone dares to venture into. Even for geniuses, there is a significant risk of falling.

With that, Sima Linyuan took out a tattered map from his storage ring and slowly spread it out before everyone.

”In the past, venturing into forbidden lands was like flying blind. This time, I’ve acquired a map of the Burial Dragon Ancient Land from the family, which should be of great help to us.”

Ling Chen’s gaze fell on the somewhat tattered map, seeing the alarming red crosses marked on it. Each red cross indicates a place of certain death and should not be entered lightly.

The map also contains other detailed markings, clearly indicating that the person who drew this map had conducted on-site research, otherwise they couldn’t be so familiar with the Burial Dragon Ancient Land.

To roam the Burial Dragon Ancient Land with such ease requires extraordinary skill, and only a super power like the Shen Dao Family could produce such a map.

”Having a map makes things much easier than wandering aimlessly.” Ye Ming and the others recognized the value of this map, which would likely fetch a price several times more valuable than ordinary treasures at an auction.

”Time is of the essence. Many are eyeing the Burial Dragon Ancient Land. We need to act immediately, or we might not even have the chance to drink soup if others get there first.”

Sima Linyuan said.

Generally, forbidden lands become the places warriors yearn for, where treasures have been plundered time and again. The harder it gets to find treasures over time, but the Burial Dragon Ancient Land is different. As a newly emerging forbidden land, it is rich with treasures and has many unexplored areas worth discovering.

Missing the opportunity may result in missing great fortune.

”Alright!”

No one disagreed. Everyone knew the importance of time in treasure hunting. The thought of rare treasures possibly hidden within the Burial Dragon Ancient Land made everyone’s hearts race, as obtaining some opportunities there could surpass years, even decades, of hard work.

After lingering for a while, the group left Panlong City.

Meanwhile, on another level of Wang Que Tower.

There was another gathering of the younger generation here.

However, this was clearly a different genius faction, each member looked rebellious and overbearing, seeing no one in their eyes.

”Brother Tang Ze, Brother Murong, the people from the Green Mountain Association have already set out.”

A young man stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Tang Ze and Murong Ying.

”These guys are really impatient. Do they really think if they go early, all the treasures will be theirs?” Murong Ying sneered coldly.

”It’s not that simple. Sima Linyuan has some skills. If he gets there first and acquires some treasures, it’d be our loss.”

Tang Ze’s face darkened, ”Brother Murong, let’s set off immediately as well, follow behind the Green Mountain Association, and let them pave the way for us.”

”Makes sense.”

Murong Ying’s eyes lit up. Tang Ze was indeed sinister, letting the Green Mountain Association pave the way ahead for treasure hunting while they followed behind. If the Green Mountain Association obtained treasures or encountered danger, they would immediately attack, hitting them while they’re down, ensuring the total annihilation of the Green Mountain Association.

Outside Panlong City.

A twenty-meter-long silver ship hovered in mid-air, a giant puppet ship, albeit smaller than the puppet warship Ling Chen had commandeered in the Black Market, but of a clearly superior grade.

The silver puppet ship before them was noticeably at a higher level, at least much faster.

”This puppet ship I obtained from a forbidden land is a good choice for traveling, but the only drawback is that the energy stones it consumes are extremely expensive. If used frequently, it costs about twenty Spirit Nurturing Pills a month, which is a considerable burden for the user.”

Sima Linyuan said.

Beside him, Ye Ming also spoke: ”This puppet ship is a top-grade one, capable of covering eight thousand miles a day, and is made of tough materials, with prohibitions guarding its exterior. Even a Half-Saint Powerhouse would struggle to break through the puppet ship’s defenses in a short time. Besides its defense, the ship is equipped with puppet cannons, each shot as powerful as a full-strength blow from a Sky Apex Realm peak powerhouse, instantly killing an ordinary late-stage Sky Apex Realm expert. Even young experts on the Hidden Dragon List would suffer under its bombardment and choose to flee.”

”Indeed a rare treasure.” Ling Chen nodded, but the flying puppet given to him by Ling Yin was not bad either. Though it lacked defensive and offensive abilities and was smaller in size, its speed was not too far off.

Moreover, even if he acquired a puppet ship like this, he couldn’t afford to use it. A month’s consumption of twenty Spirit Nurturing Pills could only be afforded by a direct lineal descendant of the Nine Great Families like Sima Linyuan.

After two days of flying, they approached the area where the Burial Dragon Ancient Land was located.

Around them, it was noticeably busier with people heading to the Burial Dragon Ancient Land.

”Quite a puppet ship. It must be Sima Linyuan!” Not far away, a giant lion with wings approached. On the lion’s back stood seven or eight young people. The leading youth was tall with an imposing aura, his eyes sharp and bright, with a deep scar visible on his right eye. The person next to him had an aura not inferior to the tall youth ahead, exuding the presence of a tiger.

”So it’s the Group Beast Society.”

Sima Linyuan said calmly.

”Haha, it seems you too are heading to the Burial Dragon Ancient Land. Better hope we don’t meet, or I’ll definitely settle a score with you.” The leading youth laughed heartily, though a trace of resentment flashed deep in his eyes. The lion with wings flapped its wings mightily, swiftly overtaking Ling Chen’s group’s puppet ship.

”Shi Family’s Shi Shaobao and Tiger Family’s Hu Shentong, both families strong with Exotic Beast bloodlines. Both are Hidden Dragon List experts, one ranked thirteenth, the other nineteenth.”

Ye Ming whispered beside Ling Chen.

”The Shi Family is also a prominent aristocratic family in Jingzhou, with power not much weaker than the Shen Dao Family. In the past, Shi Shaobao committed various atrocities in Jingzhou and was punished by the leader in a battle where Shi Shaobao was defeated. That scar was left from that time.” Yuwen Jie said.

”So, they’re Hidden Dragon List experts.”

Ling Chen’s expression tightened. He estimated that with his current strength, he could be ranked just outside the top twenty on the Hidden Dragon List. Of course, if he went all out with full force, his ranking could rise further, as Ling Chen was recognized as a peerless prodigy, with boundless potential and a wide range of combat power fluctuations.
