Chapter 1946 The Forbidden Place

“The Lunar Vision!” “Shaped a white rose through a thought!” “A spectacular performance by the beauties from the Golden Age!” Jim clenched his fists even tighter when he saw this scene, and he almost leaped from his wheelchair. “Boss has studied the Shining Tome thoroughly, and his realm has most likely improved significantly,” he exclaimed. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, as the vision in the sky continued to linger for a long time before it stopped. *** Three days later, in a remote forest deep within the mountains. A group of people was walking through the forest, carrying a variety of weapons. They had finally made it to the deepest part of this ancient forest. They were surrounded by a forest of towering old trees that stretched as far as their eyes could see. Any powerhouse entering this forest without a map would get lost. There were nearly twenty people on this team. The group’s leader was a middle-aged man in regular clothes. Otes White, the Fifth Master of the White family, was that man. Otes was the fifth son of Regis. He had stayed in his yard for decades, aiding his family in the cultivation of various magical herbs and elixirs. Later in his life, his family changed. It was then Otes stepped up and helped to eliminate those rebels. He returned to his yard after the situation had calmed down and continued to deal with his magical plants. This time, Otes had left his family manor and led an exploration team to this primeval forest. “Master Otes, according to the map, the entrance to the forbidden place should be close by.” A man approached Otes and made his report respectfully. At the same time, other team members returned to report to him after exploring the surroundings. “There are traces that other people have visited the area within the radius of a few kilometers. The Fryee family most likely sent someone here before.” The map they were holding at the time was the one Regis had forced the Fryee family to give him. It was said to be a map of the Forbidden Place, which contained numerous magical resources as well as treasures left behind by the ancient Gods. After receiving the map, Regis quickly dispatched a team to the area. After some thought, he decided that his fifth son, Otes, would be the best candidate to lead the exploration team. Otes, for starters, were well-versed in a variety of magical plants. He can tell which magical plants are the most valuable after entering the Forbidden Place and bringing them back home. Secondly, he proved to be a capable powerhouse. Overall, he was the most qualified candidate to lead the team into the Forbidden Place. “Yes!” Otes gave a gentle nod. After that, he took out a photocopy of the map. He took his time studying the map before flying straight to the top of a large tree. After he observed the area from a high vantage point, Otes had a rough idea of the terrain. He leaped from the tall tree and gave orders to the men next to him. “Get into groups of five and walk 300 meters in four directions - south, east, west, and north,” he instructed. “As soon as you see the flare that I’ve fired into the sky, you must immediately form a formation to break the magical seal.” “Yes, Master Otes.” The group of twenty obeyed Otes’ orders and dispersed at breakneck speed throughout the area. Otes personally led a group of men and sprinted 300 meters to the west. Finally, the group came to a halt in front of a large tree. Otes drew out the map once more. He ordered the subordinates behind him to pull out a flare gun and fire it into the sky after confirming the coordinates. The flare may not have been clearly visible to the naked eye when it was blasted into the sky in this forest, where the trees covered the entire sky. Fortunately, their positions were not too far apart from each other. As the flare erupted, everyone began to cast a magical seal, which resulted in four rays of white light shooting into the sky. The rays started intertwining each other, forming a massive magical seal that started descending from the sky. With a loud bang, the trees in the forest began to shake violently. After a while, a green vortex appeared in the center. “Everyone, the enchantment has been broken. All of you must assemble in the center.” At top speed, the four groups rushed all the way to the green vortex in the center. When they got there, they didn’t waste any time and jumped into the vortex one by one. There were floating lights that swirled in front of them as if they had entered a passageway of time. Soon, the lights disappeared. The group had entered another world. They fell from the sky. What caught their attention was a massive forest, but it appeared that they had landed on the edge. There was a magical place in the middle of the forest that left everyone present awestruck. “Master Otes, take a look at this! Why does that tree look so weird?” “This is truly magical!” The scene in front of their eyes astounded everyone. There was a tree in the middle of the forest that rose from the ground, its stature unimaginably huge. The trees’ branches and leaves grew into the sky, constantly extending toward the surroundings and covering the majority of the sky. Not only that, but the tree trunk was also purple and green in color. It looked almost like a crystal agate. Every leaf on the tree was transparent as if it had been carved and polished out of peerless jasper. “A tree this gigantic and strange... exists in our world?” Otes also gasped in surprise. In his lifetime, he had been exposed to a variety of magical herbs and trees, but he had never seen such a magical tree. “Let’s go and take a look over there.” The group managed to dispel their surprise and rushed up to the tree. Soon, they were at the bottom of the tree. They stood there and looked up. They couldn’t see the edge of the branches and leaves. It was as if a massive alien spacecraft had descended from the sky. It was so large that it engulfed the entire city, giving the citizens a terrifying sense of oppression. Ba-dump… Ba-dump.. Ba-dump… Ba-dump… Everyone then heard a strange sound, as if there was a heart beating regularly. “Whose heart is racing this quickly?” Otes turned around and asked his subordinates behind him. Even though it was their first time seeing such an incredible tree, half of them were Transformation powerhouses. They were most definitely not freaking out to the point where their hearts were racing this fast. One by one, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. The atmosphere started to feel a little unsettling. Soon, as if they thought of something, everyone looked in the direction of the big tree. Ba-dump… Ba-dump.. Ba-dump… Ba-dump… The sound of the heartbeat became increasingly clearer. Soon, one of the members pointed to a position that was about twenty meters above the big tree and said, “The sound seems to be coming from there.”
