chapter 1 Returning from the restricted area ===

"Beale, I give you two choices. One, become a Taoist partner with me; two..."

Deep in a restricted area called Tianyuan, a girl in a red dress said coldly.

The girl in the red dress is 1.7 meters tall. Her long skirt is trailing and the tail of the skirt is dotted with several charming flowers. Her feet were bare and her ankles were exposed. They were as white as jade and flawless.

She wore a dark veil, her eyes were like stars, her eyebrows were like spring water, her hair was like a waterfall, and her every frown and smile showed her charm.

"I choose two."

Before the girl in the red skirt could say the next words, a young man in a green shirt made a decisive choice.

Beautiful women are poison, especially women who have lived for who knows how many years. Beale has been tortured by the girl in the red dress for hundreds of years. He knows how terrifying she is and will not be deceived by her appearance.

In addition to this reason, Beale once made a verbal agreement with a certain girl to become a Taoist couple, and he could not break his promise.

"You kid, don't regret it."

The girl in the red dress glared at Beale and snorted coldly.

"I will never regret it."

Beale is determined.

"Then make nine agreements with me, and then I will let you go free and cut off the karma with you."

The girl in the red dress took out a jade bracelet and handed it to Beale's hand through the air.

Beale took the jade bracelet and embarked on the road home. He had been trapped in Tianyuan for hundreds of years, and he was finally able to leave this ghost place, and he was very excited.

...

Beihuang, Fuliu Star Territory, Xuanqing Dao Sect.

"Master, my uncle's soul lamp is on."

The core disciples who were on duty in the Minghun Hall discovered something today and ran to the Elder's House in a hurry.

"Nonsense, your junior uncle has been dead for more than a hundred years."

Inside the house, an old man was making tea and yelled.

"Really, if you don't believe me, go and see it."

This was a big deal, and the core disciples only dared to report it after confirming it many times.

Hearing this, the old man choked on the tea he drank and stared: "Seriously?"

When we arrived at the Minghun Palace, a soul lamp in the corner lit up with a faint light, and it was true.

The old man's body trembled slightly, he was very excited and a little uneasy, fearing that this possibility would be shattered and he would once again suffer the pain of despair: "The soul lamp is re-ignited, is my junior Junior really still alive?"

"Master, what should I do?"

The core disciple asked for instructions.

"check!"

There was a glimmer of hope in the old man's eyes, his hands clenched and his expression serious. His name is Eberto, and he is the guardian elder of Xuanqing Dao Sect. He has a very high status and a distinguished status.

More than 100,000 miles away from Xuanqing Dao Sect, there is an ancient restricted area called Tianyuan.

A hundred years ago, strange phenomena appeared in the Tianyuan restricted area. Some people claimed to have seen a treasure of heaven and earth falling into the restricted area.

As a result, many sects in the Northern Wilderness stepped into the Tianyuan.

Xuanqing Dao Sect sent more than ten powerful elders and dozens of core disciples.

Among them is a newly promoted inner sect elder named Beale, who is the strongest among the younger generation of Xuan Qing Sect and has high hopes from the elders.

Entering the Tianyuan restricted area, many sect masters never returned and died.

The Xuanqing Sect suffered even worse than other sects, with their entire army wiped out.

After a hundred years, Beale's soul lamp turned on, making everyone in Xuan Qing Sect excited.

"I finally came out."

Outside the Tianyuan restricted area, Beale stood by the lake and took a long breath.

His clothes were stained with mud, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body.

This person is Beale, who was thought to have been dead for hundreds of years. He was once a peerless evildoer and a disciple that the ancestor of the Xuanqing Sect accepted before his death.

Beale is not old, but his seniority is extremely high. A group of old men in Xuan Qing Sect have to call them Junior.

"I never want to go in again in this life."

Beale looked back at the dark jungle. There was an ancient abyss inside, and there was another cave.

When Beale just said these words, an ethereal female voice came to his ears: "Boy, don't forget the agreement between us."

Hearing this, Beale shuddered and quickly shut up.

The hundred years of experience in Tianyuan made Beale unable to look back.

What makes Beale still puzzled is why he was able to escape death. Is it because he is handsome?

Although this possibility is small, it is not impossible.

"Find a shady place to rest for a while."

Beale was too lazy to walk, so he lay down under a big tree and fell asleep happily.

Based on Beale's speculation, Xuan Qingzong will definitely find his traces soon and send people to look for him.

Not long after, Beale fell into sleep.

It has to be said that in this deserted place, Beale dared to act like this without any cultivation. It can be seen from this that although Beale's cultivation is useless, he must still have hidden trump cards that are unknown to others, otherwise he would not dare to be so arrogant.

An hour later, Eberto arrived here with a group of people.

When Eberto looked at Beale lying in the shade of the tree, his whole body trembled with excitement, his lips trembled, and he wanted to shout. However, Eberto was afraid that this was his illusion, so he froze on the spot, with ripples in his eyes.

"Uncle Junior, wake up."

Some disciples quickly stepped forward and called out.

Beale slowly opened his eyes and saw everyone.

The next moment, Beale looked at the gray-haired Eberto, his face looked happy, and he called softly: "Senior Eberto."

Listening to the familiar voice, Eberto seemed to have returned to reality. He ducked in front of Beale, carefully stretched out his hands and grabbed Beale's arms: "Junior, is it really you?"

"It's me."Beale laughed: "Brother, please be gentle, it hurts!"

Immediately, Eberto loosened his hands and looked at it a few times.

"Junior Junior, what is your cultivation level?"

Eberto didn't pay attention to this just now, but now after careful investigation, he found that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in Beale's body, and there was no cultivation at all.

"No, but it's not a big problem."Beale's mood didn't fluctuate much, and he kept a smile on his lips.

Normally, if a practitioner becomes a disabled person, it should be more uncomfortable than death.

However, Beale looked indifferent, as if it was no big deal.

Hundreds of years of living in a restricted area are not without its rewards.

"Ah? This..."Eberto was very surprised, and also felt a little distressed.

"Stop talking about this, let's go back first!"

Beale waved his hand and interrupted the conversation.

"good."

Eberto nodded heavily, this was indeed not the place for chatting.

So, Eberto took out a Taoist treasure, protected Beale's body, and headed towards Xuan Qing Sect.

Xuan Qingzong was able to successfully find Beale because of the guidance of the soul lamp.

Soon, Beale finally returned to Xuan Qing Sect.

There are many mountains and mist.

Looking at this beautiful scenery, Beale's face showed a deep joy.

"Finally home."

Beale grew up in the Xuan Qing Sect since he was a child. Unfortunately, he had just been accepted as a disciple by the Supreme Elder, and his master passed away because his life span had expired.

Therefore, Beale practiced under the guidance of a group of senior brothers and sisters, and had a very good relationship with them.

The meeting hall was full of people, all elders of Xuan Qing Sect.

This meeting is very important, and none of the core disciples are qualified to attend.

Beale was brought to the meeting hall. Looking at the familiar faces, he bowed his hands and saluted: "Greetings to all senior brothers and sisters."

The sect leader of Xuan Qing Sect is Ekram, Beale’s elder brother.

"Junior Junior, how did you survive?"

Ekram was sitting in the main seat and already knew the general situation.

"Oh, it's a long story and it's hard to talk about."

Beale stood in the center of the hall, feeling very uncomfortable being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes.

"We have plenty of time, let's talk slowly!"

Ekram expression was serious.

Seeing this, Beale could only say slowly: "That day, we entered the Tianyuan..."

Next, Beale spoke out the words he had prepared long ago.

To sum up, the group entered Tianyuan and encountered various restrictions and unknown dangers. Only Beale was left dead. Because Beale used secret techniques, he was able to fake his death and escape, and it took him a hundred years to come out.

Although he narrowly escaped death, due to the backlash of the secret technique, his cultivation was completely destroyed and his spiritual roots were also severed.

Everyone listened and fell into deep thought. They didn't know what was going on in Tianyuan, so naturally they couldn't tell whether what Beale said was true.

"You're the only one left, alas."

Ekram sighed.

Originally, everyone still had some illusions about whether others, like Beale, faked their own death and escaped.

"The abyss is inaccessible."

Beale looked back with grief on his face as he recalled the tragic death of his classmate.

The rules in the restricted area are extremely terrifying, and anyone who touches them will die. Beale was able to escape, maybe it was luck, maybe it was fate.

"Junior Junior, for safety reasons, we have to check your physical condition."

Ekram said seriously.

"I understand, check it out!"

Xuan Qing Sect was worried that Beale would be taken away from him. If he was not handled carefully, it might be detrimental to the sect.

Under normal circumstances, body seizing can only occupy the physical body, but not the memory. Of course, there is also the possibility that a very small number of body snatchers have memories of their previous lives.
