Chapter 566: Chapter 550: Chen Liuyun Visits and Joins as Forbidden Land Envoy (2)

"Even the most outstanding geniuses on the Celestial Cloud Path likely could not achieve this."

Qin An smiled slightly, "It’s just a stroke of good luck, along with some effort, nothing worth mentioning."

"But no one is as lucky as you," Chen Liuyun shook his head and said, "nor as hardworking, but what’s done is done. Since it’s done, I shall now tell you what a Forbidden Land Envoy is."

Qin An nodded slightly, raising his hand to signal Chen Liuyun to continue.

After a brief pause, Chen Liuyun put down his teacup and said, "The so-called Forbidden Land Envoy is the one who maintains the stability of each forbidden area, aiding the faction within the forbidden lands aligned with the Evil Extermination Bureau, suppressing those against it."

Upon hearing this, Qin An frowned even deeper.

"Wait a minute, aren’t forbidden lands supposed to harbor endless opportunities, with terrifying beings within? How could there be factions?"

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but recall his past encounter at the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

As he left, that terrifying phantom remained vivid in his memory.

Moreover, a recent dream related to the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak further convinced Qin An that there were things he didn’t know.

And now Chen Liuyun’s explanation was gradually amplifying Qin An’s doubts.

Chen Liuyun shook his head, saying, "Indeed, the forbidden lands harbor endless opportunities, but they are not natural; they are man-made, essentially a prison."

"A prison?" Qin An raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of prison?"

Chen Liuyun slowly explained, "To speak of what kind of prison, I must start with the Ancient Battlefield relics. Listen to my story."

"Long ago, the Ancient Battlefield relics were not fragmented. It was a place where humans and demon pseudo-gods contended, countless demon pseudo-gods and humans fought there, with corpses falling from the sky every moment, crashing into the earth."

"Eventually, unable to withstand the aftermath of the battles, the Ancient Battlefield shattered into countless fragments, scattering across every corner of the Daqian Kingdom."

"And as they scattered, due to a special force, the forbidden lands formed. They evolved from the Ancient Battlefield relics, but they are more significant. For some unknown reason, both humans and demon pseudo-gods formed profound connections with these forbidden lands."

"They became imprisoned within the forbidden lands, unable to leave, while the power of the forbidden lands allowed them to thrive inside."

"However, due to the mysterious formation of the forbidden lands, they contain endless dangers, not only from them but also from the indigenous creatures in the forbidden area, leading to different factions." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Hearing this, Qin An touched his chin, forming a general outline in his mind.

He also understood that what Chen Liuyun referred to as man-made was not intentional, but resulted from the formidable battles among individuals at the Ancient Battlefield relics.

If what Chen Liuyun said was true, then the forbidden lands indeed were a profound prison.

The long-term captivity led to a division of factions among those inhabiting the forbidden lands.

This means being a Forbidden Land Envoy is far more dangerous than a Mountain Patrol Commander.

He could already hear it.

The forbidden lands are already more hazardous than the Ancient Battlefield relics, let alone the Forbidden Land Envoy, who has to assist the faction close to the Evil Extermination Bureau against those opposing it.

Calculating it this way, the Forbidden Land Envoy is far more perilous than the Ancient Battlefield relics.

Chen Liuyun nodded and said, "You’re not wrong, it’s not just dangerous, but there’s the constant risk of losing your life. To be honest, even if the Evil Extermination Bureau sent everyone, it would be difficult to change the situation in the forbidden lands, as the outside world is also dangerous, making it impossible to spare people for handling forbidden land affairs. Thus, we need elite soldiers."

"This is precisely why the threshold is extremely high."

Qin An turned toward Chen Liuyun’s waist and said, "But I see you have a Mountain Patrol Commander’s token; what does that mean?"

Previously, Chen Liuyun had shown him his Mountain Patrol Commander’s token, stating that later he would naturally understand why it was worn.

Now that everything was laid out, Qin An certainly wanted to know more.

Chen Liuyun pointed at his waist and said, "Though the Forbidden Land Envoy is very dangerous, they do not always reside in the forbidden lands. We also need more achievements, so we also serve as Mountain Patrol Commanders."

"When there are no forbidden land tasks, we undertake assignments in the Ancient Battlefield relics, but if a task arises, then the Mountain Patrol Commander’s tasks are put on hold."

Hearing this, Qin An immediately understood.

"So that’s it, this danger includes not only the forbidden lands but also the Ancient Battlefield relics, stacking the dangers of both the Mountain Patrol Commander and the Forbidden Land Envoy."

Chen Liuyun nodded and then shook his head, "Though it’s twice the danger, it also promises twice the rewards. As far as I know, those surviving as Forbidden Land Envoys are as prominent as Lord Bai in the Celestial Cloud Path."

"Even the Mountain Patrol Gold General cannot compare."

Qin An thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I agree to this. What exactly is the recruitment procedure?"

"Do you just give me a token, and I become a Forbidden Land Envoy?"

Chen Liuyun nodded and said, "It’s not as complicated as you think, and you’re quite right. As soon as you agree, Lord Bai will naturally approve."

"Once approved, you can become a Forbidden Land Envoy. After all, there are very few who have reached the Unity Realm still possessing undeniable potential."

"If the threshold is high while still limiting entry, requiring them to accomplish certain things beforehand, the position of Forbidden Land Envoy would become meaningless."

Qin An said, "That makes sense. So what is the specific procedure? How can I accept a forbidden land task?"

Chen Liuyun took out two tokens from the side and slid them across the table to Qin An.

On the left was the Mountain Patrol Copper General’s token, which Qin An was very familiar with. On the right was a Forbidden Land Envoy token with the word "Forbidden" inscribed on it.

"The process is the same as the Mountain Patrol Commander, receiving assignments and recording accomplishments through the tokens. The only difference is that the Forbidden Land Envoy is a secret."

"Therefore, to exchange for corresponding items, you need to use both tokens, transferring achievements from the Forbidden Land Envoy token to the Mountain Patrol Commander token."

"Just touch the two tokens together."

Qin An picked up the two tokens, examined them briefly, and nodded, "I understand."

Thoroughly explained, Qin An had no further questions regarding the task at hand.

As for joining as a Forbidden Land Envoy, he was indeed willing.

Though he faced double danger, there were double rewards.

Moreover, there was a high degree of freedom.

He could choose to accept or not as he wished.

It allowed for greater mastery in his cultivation, offering tremendous convenience.

Why not take advantage of it?

Chen Liuyun didn’t linger, bidding farewell and leaving the room.

This visit was primarily to check on Qin An and complete the task entrusted by Bai Lingfeng.

He also intended to accept assignments from the forbidden lands.

Soon, Qin An was left alone.

Qin An pondered and made a decision.

"I’ll take on a forbidden land task tomorrow; today I’ll finish practicing my mastery."

The task was indeed important, but more than half the day was gone, and Qin An didn’t plan to haphazardly accept assignments without preparation.

Afterward, Qin An refrained from further words, heading first to the butcher’s shop to finish his day’s mastery practice before returning to his room for an early rest.

As he slipped into slumber, Qin An assumed the night would pass quietly.

But just as he thought all was well, unexpectedly, a strange dream intruded upon his sleep...
