Chapter 527: Chapter 523: Forbidden Land Entrance on the 22nd Floor Opens

Yao Xueru heard these words and also furrowed his brows slightly.

"My young friend, are you sure you want to enter the 16th Layer?

To tell you the truth, going from the 15th to the 16th Layer, the difficulty suddenly steps up a notch.

Rashly entering, it could have a significant impact on your body."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han nodded: "Senior, rest assured, I have a very clear understanding of my own body."

Seeing Shen Han speak so resolutely, Yao Xueru hesitated for a moment, and indeed opened the entrance to the 16th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

Before Fu Tianqi and others could speak, Shen Han had already walked into the entrance of the 16th Layer.

Seeing him go inside, Yao Xueru hurried to the side of Yu You.

"Sect Leader Yu, you yourself saw it with your own eyes, the child wanted to go in by himself.

If he really damages his foundation inside, don’t blame this old man.

This old man has advised him more than just once or twice.

Young people are indeed competitive; the disciples of Snow Mountain House barely won a little, and they insist on wanting to surpass.

Ah..."

Yao Xueru sighed, feigning resignation.

Behind him, the people of Snow Mountain House, who had not spoken much before, now looked without amusement but still carried a hint of contempt.

Yu You did not respond, only glanced at him indifferently.

Everyone was waiting, waiting to see Shen Han’s performance.

Time passed, a quarter of an hour went by quickly.

In the 16th Layer, Shen Han seemed to have really gained a foothold...

In the passage, the expressions of the people from Snow Mountain House began to change slightly.

The disdain and scorn on their faces gradually faded away.

Two quarters of an hour.

After staying inside the 16th Layer for two hours, Shen Han actually came out again.

Seeing Shen Han’s emergence, the others were stunned again.

The people from Snow Mountain House and Fu Tianqi’s group did not speak.

Both sides had different expectations in their hearts.

One side expected Shen Han couldn’t endure the 16th Layer and was forced to come out and drop a layer.

The other side expected Shen Han was dismissive of the 16th Layer, wanting to delve deeper.

Amid a silent moment, Shen Han walked towards Yao Xueru.

"Kindly ask Senior to open the 17th Layer of the Forbidden Land again, this 16th Layer seemed just so-so..."

Shen Han spoke politely, in the same tone as before.

Yao Xueru wanted to say something, but just now, Shen Han had already stayed in the 16th Layer for two quarters of an hour.

In the outside world, two quarters of an hour, inside the Forbidden Land, it should be three to four hours.

Staying in the 16th Layer of the Forbidden Land for three to four hours, his breath stable, complexion normal.

Yao Xueru wanted to say Shen Han couldn’t endure, but found no reason.

After hesitating for a moment, Yao Xueru frowned and opened the entrance to the 17th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

Shen Han did not hesitate and entered the 17th Layer again.

After Shen Han went in, Yao Xueru thought for a moment, then let his grandson Yao Zhonggu enter the 16th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

Yao Xueru had some suspicion if the suppression of the Forbidden Land had weakened.

But shortly after entering the Forbidden Land, Yao Zhonggu crawled out from the entrance.

His face was ashen, lips had completely lost color.

Once out, he couldn’t stop vomiting.

How long had he been inside?

At most a hundred breaths...

Clearly, there was no problem with the suppression of the 16th Layer, the problem lay with him.

Yao Zhonggu’s reaction further proved Shen Han’s strength.

17th Layer, already been a quarter of an hour since entering.

Shen Han still hadn’t come out.

It now seemed that not to mention the 16th Layer, the 17th Layer was no problem for Shen Han either.

Close to two quarters of an hour, with everyone’s anticipation, Shen Han actually came out again.

His breath was still stable, without any discomfort.

After coming out, Shen Han showed no hesitation and walked straight to Yao Xueru.

"Senior, this 17th Layer seems to have a hint of restriction, but I still want to try going deeper.

Or, could you directly open the 19th Layer this time?"

Hearing the 19th Layer, Yao Xueru was taken aback.

After hesitating, he immediately stepped forward to open the entrance to the 19th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

He did not believe Shen Han could cultivate in the 19th Layer.

Currently, the deepest anyone could reach in the Divine Land is the 18th Layer.

The person who stepped into it was Yao Xueru’s great-granddaughter Yao Wanning.

Because of this, Snow Mountain House believed Yao Wanning was a gift from the heavens.

Yao Wanning is their future.

For so many years, people from Snow Mountain House have always considered the 18th Layer the human limit.

Yet, this young man before them intended to step into the 19th Layer.

If one’s talent and strength are insufficient, stepping into the 18th Layer of the Forbidden Land would make one feel intense pain throughout the body.

As if something were tearing the entire being from the inside.

This kind of intense pain is difficult even for cultivators to endure.

If unable to bear it, after entering, they would certainly come out after just a while.

Seeing the entrance open, Shen Han still showed no hesitation and entered the 19th Layer.

This 19th Layer, if not endured, might cost one’s life.

But when there is a real threat to life, Yao Xueru was too lazy to remind.

The people from Snow Mountain House just watched from the side, not wanting to reveal the severe consequences of reaching the 19th Layer.

Time passed.

It had already been a quarter of an hour since stepping into the 19th Layer.

Shen Han’s performance made the people from Snow Mountain House a bit uneasy.

Previously, they were still proud that someone from Snow Mountain House could reach the 15th Layer.

But now...

The gap between the 15th Layer and the 19th Layer isn’t ordinary.

The most crucial thing is that the disciples of Snow Mountain House could at most reach the 18th Layer.

It had been more than a quarter of an hour, and Shen Han still hadn’t come out.

In the depths of the Forbidden Land, if one can’t adapt and still forces oneself to stay inside, it could very well cost their life.

So, the fact that it’s already been over a quarter of an hour with no one coming out suggests only two possibilities.

One is that he’s fainted inside, the other is that Shen Han can truly cultivate steadily inside.

As it seems now, the second scenario is very likely.

Everyone cherishes their life; if Shen Han couldn’t endure it, he would’ve probably escaped.

While everyone was speculating, Shen Han actually came out again.

He was still in great condition, showing no signs of discomfort. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

His aura was very stable, with no visible signs of injury or damage.

Not only were the people from Snow Mountain House a bit stunned, Fu Tianqi and the others were also quite similar.

They had been to the Forbidden Land, and the suppression and limitation inside were extremely uncomfortable.

They couldn’t handle the 13th and 12th Layers, let alone the 19th Layer.

In the midst of everyone’s stupefaction, Shen Han walked towards Yao Xueru.

His words remained plain, without any special request.

He merely asked if he could open the entrance to the 20th Layer of the Forbidden Land.

Upon hearing this request, Yao Xueru’s old face twitched...

Previously, the people from Snow Mountain House wore mocking expressions on their faces.

They ridiculed Fu Tianqi and the others for failing to get past the 12th Layer.

But now, with such a direct comparison, the strength of Snow Mountain House was clearly revealed.

Beside them, Jiang Ling’Er, who had been holding back her anger, couldn’t contain herself any longer.

"Oh, there were so many words said before, advising this and that.

Why is the Patriarch of the Yao Family silent now?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ling’Er’s words, Yao Zhonggu walked out with a stern face.

"As far as I know, Shen Han doesn’t seem to be a disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect, right?

He’s powerful, so what are you proud about?"

Yao Zhonggu had a bit of cunning, knowing how to throw shade.

But upon hearing these words, Shen Han immediately stepped forward to explain: "I’m not a disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect mainly due to my insufficient talent and potential.

This Forbidden Land training today, in my view, requires some luck.

Just like some people are skilled in Sword Intent, while others excel in Saber Technique.

Speaking of which, my ability to reach the depths of this Forbidden Land counts as a pretty useless talent...

I actually want to follow the seniors of the Celestial Sword Sect for a while; if Senior Yuyou can make some allowances, I wonder if this little talent of mine would be sufficient.

By the way, doesn’t Snow Mountain House also have someone who can reach the 15th Layer of the Forbidden Land?

He has such talent as well, and can try to see if Senior Yuyou might allow him to train at the Celestial Sword Sect for a while."

With these words, Shen Han directly elevated the status of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Reaching into the depths of the Forbidden Land, what kind of talent does that represent?

Even with such talent, it’s not enough to enter the threshold of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Everyone could tell that Shen Han said these things intentionally to flatter the Celestial Sword Sect.

But the people from Snow Mountain House had previously said some nasty words as well.

Claiming to be soothing, they were actually mocking.

Shen Han’s remarks were merely giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Both were using the same tactics.

At this moment, the face of the Patriarch of the Yao Family had already darkened.

He was clearly also a bit unhappy.

Being humiliated like that, how could he be happy?

Besides being humiliated, there was something even more displeasing to him.

The fact that the one who could reach the deepest parts of Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land was not a disciple of Snow Mountain House, but an outsider...

If word of these events got out, who knows how embarrassing it would be.

Thinking of this, Yao Xueru’s eyes glinted slightly.

"Since this young friend is so gifted, why not take a tour of the 22nd Layer.

To be honest, no one in Snow Mountain House has ever gone into that 22nd Layer.

Not even to probe it.

Taking this opportunity, the young friend can go in and have a look, and then tell us what it’s like inside.

If you really can cultivate steadily in there, I promise, for those of you who came together this time, you can come to Snow Mountain House every year going forward.

Every year, we’ll reserve a spot for you for the Forbidden Land training qualification."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han smiled and nodded, "Then I’ll do as you suggest, Senior."

Seeing Shen Han agree so readily, Yao Xueru was indeed a bit disgruntled.

He took three steps to the entrance of the 22nd Layer Forbidden Land and infused it with resources.

The entrance to the 22nd Layer Forbidden Land opened.

Over the years, Snow Mountain House has never even entered the 21st Layer, let alone the 22nd.

This entrance to the 22nd Layer probably hadn’t been opened in years.

Once the entrance to the Forbidden Land was open, Yao Xueru thought Shen Han would hesitate a bit.

But as soon as he opened the entrance, Shen Han, without saying much, went straight in.
