Chapter 186: Forbidden Zone
most certainly not tell you about this."But you now possess such a foundation, there is some chance of becoming an unparalleled prodigy. That's why this old man has informed you of this matter. As fo...News that three master martial arts manuals from the Black Market would be auctioned off is spreading fast, thanks to Yuan Yang Auction House's publicity.
>Not only the capital, but even the nearby prefectures have received the news.
In the past.
The black market is used for the sale of stolen goods and other illicit items, and it rarely advertises openly.
But this time is different.
Those who sell martial arts come from the Demon Suppression Division.
Everyone understands that the Demon Suppression Division has many martial arts.
If this were normal times, even if someone from the Demon Suppression Division sold martial arts, others wanting to buy them would have to carefully consider it.
No one could be sure if the martial arts sold by the other party were from the Demon Suppression Division.
If that is the case.
That's very likely a big pit.
But this time it's different.
The other party did not hide their identity or name and directly put it up for auction. This effectively ruled out the possibility of selling martial arts from the Town Demon Division.
It's very simple.
No one would dare to flaunt their disregard for the Demon Suppression Bureau's regulations.
If someone really did that, there's only one possibility: the other party doesn't want to live anymore.
The time of the auction.
There was a whole half month as a buffer.
If there are indeed problems, the Demon Suppression Division is capable of handling them.
If the Demon Suppression Division doesn't handle it, then there's no problem.
And.
The auctioneer's name also adds a degree of credibility.
Shen Changqing!
If it were a year ago, few people would have known the name Shen Changqing. At most, only some martial arts practitioners in Guangyuan Prefecture would have heard of him.
But.
It wasn't until after Shen Changqing slew a barbarian general amidst tens of thousands of troops that his name, "Shen Changqing," truly became renowned.

At the same time.
Some of the other party's connections were also dug up by the public.
In less than three years at the Zhen Mo Si, he rose from an ordinary person with no foundation to a Master late stage cultivator, capable of killing barbarian generals.
Such a rate of improvement.
Without a stroke of great fortune, it's simply impossible.
Although everyone knew that Shen Changqing possessed great fortune, no one dared to vie for it.
The three words of the Demon Suppression Division.
... is something that makes people turn away in disgust.
The same.
>
The fact that the other party auctioned off three master-level martial arts techniques greatly increased its credibility. After all, they possessed immense luck and it wasn't a big deal for them to auction off three master-level martial arts techniques.
Heavenly Blade Sect.
Unlike the Guiyuan Sword Sect, which was located in a deep mountain, the Tiandao Gate was situated on flat ground.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The vast Tiandao Gate resembled a small town, accommodating a large number of disciples.
Inside the main hall.
The headmaster of the Tiandao Sect, as well as numerous elders, were also gathered together.
“News about the Yuanyang Auction House has reached you, right Right now, Shen Changqing from the Demon Suppression Division is auctioning off three top-tier martial arts techniques from the Sanmen School. Although our Tiandao Sect has a top-tier inheritance, it’s incomplete after all.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Under such circumstances, reaching the middle stage of a master is already the limit.
There's a shortage of qualified successors for promotions to later stages.
A burly middle-aged man sat there, taking up much space. While his appearance was unremarkable, he possessed an aura that commanded attention.
This is the master of the Tian Dao Gate, Wu Que.
He had said his piece.
One day, a Dao Men elder spoke up: "Now that the news has spread widely, we want to compete for the martial arts of the three sects, the competition will be fierce, especially those sects that lack a master's inheritance."
The martial arts of the Three Gates, were almost a must-have for them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In this case, when the auction starts, we will have to pay a considerable price if we want to win the martial arts.
All martial arts masters are coveted.
Especially for schools without a master lineage, the auction of master martial arts, which could change one's destiny, is something to be wary of.
Therefore.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It is foreseeable that the competition at that time will be extremely fierce.
If it's not martial arts that require cultivation, whether one can become a master depends on personal fate. In this case, even if the price doubles or triples, it's perfectly normal.
Wu Que said faintly, "Those sects without a master are inferior to our Tiandao sect in terms of foundation. Moreover, what they compete for is only the internal energy of the master and martial arts that point directly to the true meaning of martial arts."
These two martial arts styles are also practiced in our Heaven Sword Sect. What we lack within the sect is a master-level external skill.
Other people's chances of competing for external skills are slim, after all, external skills are difficult to cultivate, and unless they reach the master level, even masters don't necessarily need external skills.
Therefore, the pursuit of power will actually lower one's standing.
“But—”
We still need to pay attention to those large sects that have Grand Masters!
Wu Que had already made plans in his heart.
The Tiandao Sect, in the end, was not truly a top-tier sect. Although it had a master seated there, the master's lineage was incomplete.
There was no breakthrough to master.
Few people are aware that there are actually two major systems within the teachings of a master.
Once one breaks through to this realm, they will understand the specific cultivation methods of a master.
Two major systems.
Entry into the spiritual realm is easy, but mastery is difficult.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Wu Que felt that since he broke through to the Grandmaster level, there was almost no progress in his spiritual system.
... Subsequent breakthrough.
It's necessary to consider approaches from a physical body perspective.
At that time.
With robust physical energy and blood, one can further nurture their spiritual power, making it possible for both to advance together.
That's precisely why Wu Que placed such importance on the news about Yuan Yang Auction House.
Without the assistance of a master's external skills.
He wouldn't want to compete for the mastery of martial arts either.
To sum up.
Skill in martial arts is valued for its refinement, not its quantity.
Martial arts of the same category, one is enough. Of course, if there are more master martial arts, it can also provide the sect with another way to move forward, but this is not a necessity.
He paused for a moment.
Wu Que said, "I'm not very clear about other sects, but the Qiyuan Sect is similar to our Tiandao Sect. I'm afraid they also have plans for this competition for external skills."
"Seven Luminaries Sect!"
Many elders' faces were also solemn.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
There aren't many major factions in the Jianghu of Guangyuan Prefecture, with Tian Dao Men and Qiyuan Zong being two of them.
And.
Although the relationship between the two parties is not hostile, it is certainly not friendly.
Behind the scenes, there are quite a few frictions.
If martial arts fell into the hands of the Seven Star Sect, it would be a significant blow to the Heavenly Blade Sect.
"About how much silver can be moved from the treasury at present"
Wu Que looked at the elder in charge of internal affairs and asked.
Upon hearing this.
That elder did not hesitate much, and directly bowed in return.
"Master, the amount of silver we can currently move within the sect is roughly about 730,000 taels."
Seven hundred and thirty thousand taels!
Wu Que nodded slightly.
This number is not small.
>
The fact that it could be moved at will proved that these 730,000 taels were real money, not counting the Heavenly Sword Sect's assets across the land.
Thinking about it.
Wu Que said: "Gather one million taels, change them all into silver bills, and I will bring them to the black market at that time."
"Yes!"
The Elder nodded.
Then.
Wu Que's face turned grave.
Also, there have been many recent disturbances around Xiaoqiu Mountain.
Little Hill Mountain!
>
When it came to this matter, all the elders' faces changed color.
Immediately.
Someone looked puzzled.
“Isn't Xiaqiu Mountain blocked off by the Demon Suppression Division Even if there are demons there, it shouldn't be a major problem, right”
> As early as over a year ago.
Mount Xiaoqiu was inexplicably sealed off by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
That's it. Let me know if you need anything else translated!
Many people speculate that there are powerful demons lurking there.
But with the involvement of the Demon Suppression Division, no one was overly worried.
After all, the Demon Suppression Division is professional at dealing with demons and evils. So far, in their view, it seems that there are no demons and evils that the Demon Suppression Division cannot deal with.
Wu Que said, "Although Xiaoqiu Mountain is sealed off by the Demon Suppression Division, according to the information I have received, there are still quite a few people who have gone missing there. It seems that the Demon Suppression Division also has some masters who have suffered losses there."
"To this day, the encirclement has not been lifted, but rather the strength of the encirclement has grown even stronger."
"In that case, is there really a powerful demon there"
An elder's face was filled with shock.
Wu Que shook his head.
“If it were only powerful demons, the Demon Suppression Bureau wouldn't just be taking these actions now. I suspect that what's in Xiaochushan is no ordinary demon.”
But from what we can see so far, one thing is for sure: the Demon Suppression Division can't handle that thing.
Otherwise, the Demon Suppression Division wouldn't just stand idly by.
His tone of voice was grave.
Xiaqiu Mountain is only dozens of miles away from Tian Dao Men.
If there is something powerful there, it would also pose a great threat to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Even when the Demon Suppression Division was besieging Xiaqiu Mountain, Wu Que had noticed it.
That's all.
Back then, with the Demon Suppression Division taking action, he didn't have too many worries.
It can be up to now.
The Demon Suppression Office has been laying siege for over a year, and instead of withdrawing their forces, they have actually increased the blockade. To say there's nothing fishy going on inside is absolutely impossible.
But—
“My biggest concern is that there might be a forbidden zone there!”
Wu Que spoke every word carefully.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Restricted Area!”
An old man cried out in alarm.
"Haven't there been many new forbidden zones appearing within the Qin Empire for quite some time"
"Forbidden Zone, how is that possible!"
Here's your text translated:

“No, it won’t”—
Many elders demanded, their faces etched with disbelief.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Restricted area!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
How could it possibly be a forbidden zone!
Very few people know what the Forbidden Zone truly is. All they know is that it's a terrifying place, one that even the Demon Suppression Division can't eradicate. They can only send people to guard it there.
And.
The restricted area will grow, and its range will expand.
Everyone who enters the forbidden zone can never get out.
If there really is a forbidden area appearing at Xiaochushan, then the Tiandao Sect should consider moving.
Wu Que said calmly, "Whether there's really a forbidden area appearing in Xiaqiu Mountain, we can't be 100% sure right now. But judging from the reaction of the Demon Suppression Division, the probability of a forbidden area appearing is not small."
My Tian Dao Gate has stood here for hundreds of years, this place is the foundation of our sect.

But if Little Hill Mountain truly has a forbidden zone, we'd better make plans for the aftermath.
That being said.
>
Silence fell upon the scene.
No one wants to abandon the Tian Dao Sect's centuries-old legacy.
>
Once you change your location, there will inevitably be a lot of upheaval.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
But.

If a restricted area really appeared on Xiaochushan, the Dao Men would have to leave that day.
>Because the consequence of not leaving is a dead end.
