"Do you know why we agreed to a marriage alliance with the Su family?"

Seeing Li Changqing hesitate, Guang Ancestor looked at him and asked.

"Tell me about it."

Li Changqing was indeed curious about what conditions the Su family had offered to make Guang Ancestor eager to ally with them through marriage.

Even going so far as to arrange a fake marriage between Lu Shiran and the Su family.

"To borrow the treasured painting from the Su family."

Guang Ancestor said seriously, "The Grand Thousand Map!"

"The Grand Thousand Map." Li Changqing nodded, realizing it was to borrow a Painting Treasure, but what exactly was the Grand Thousand Map?

Seeing Li Changqing’s calm demeanor, Guang Ancestor was a bit surprised.

Li Changqing was also an artist, yet he showed no surprise in the face of the "Grand Thousand Map," as if he didn’t place much value on it.

Recalling Li Changqing’s Immortal Slaying Platform, its power was no less than that of the Grand Thousand Map.

Could it be that Li Changqing possessed the skills of a Painting Immortal?

"Speaking of Painting Treasures, the Su family has a deep heritage. For instance, the ’Evil Ghost Map’ used by Su Zheng before is one of the top Painting Treasures, extremely powerful," Guang Ancestor said.

Li Changqing nodded.

That’s indeed true.

Previously, Su Zheng was only on par with him, unable to breach his Seven Kills Cyan Lotus Sword Array on his own, and his defeat was only a matter of time, but with the ’Evil Ghost Map’, Su Zheng turned the tide directly.

Three thousand evil ghosts appeared, breaking his Seven Kills Cyan Lotus Sword Array in no time.

If it weren’t for his Immortal Slaying Platform, he might have really fallen here today.

"My purpose in borrowing the ’Grand Thousand Map’ is also to deal with the upcoming opening of the Black and White Forbidden Area," Guang Ancestor said earnestly.

"The Black and White Forbidden Area is about to open?"

Li Changqing had also heard about the Black and White Forbidden Area from Luo Xiaochuan when they talked before.

Therefore, Li Changqing had some understanding of the Black and White Forbidden Area.

The Black and White Forbidden Area is the most mysterious place in the entire Cangyuan Realm, deep within the Cloud Wasteland, a world of its own, rumored to be the birthplace of the Cangyuan Realm, hiding countless secrets.

There is also a rumor that it hides the Way to Immortality.

This is why so many people have been eager to enter the Black and White Forbidden Area, with even the Four Saints of the Human Race venturing into it collectively to seek the opportunity for immortality.

The Black and White Forbidden Area only opens at specific times.

"Are you going into the Black and White Forbidden Area?" Li Changqing frowned and asked, "Then I can’t lend it to you, once you enter, where would I find you?"

Li Changqing had no desire to enter such a dangerous place.

"You’ve misunderstood." Guang Ancestor shook his head with a smile, "Of course, I won’t go into the Black and White Forbidden Area; I only need to guard against those coming out of it."

"People coming out of there?"

"Anyone who emerges from the Black and White Forbidden Area must have gained a significant opportunity in there, but at the same time, many have come out with a distorted mindset, as if they’ve become a different person. Such incidents have happened many times in history."

"Take Hengyang Sword Studio, for example. It was once a powerful sect, and its Sect Leader had joined an expedition to enter the Black and White Forbidden Area when he was at the Grandmaster level."

"What followed was over sixty years of no news, and when the Black and White Forbidden Area opened again, no one expected the Sect Leader of Hengyuan Sword Studio to come out and become a Great Martial Sect leader."

"Adding a Great Martial Sect leader was a great thing for Hengyang Sword Studio, but unexpectedly, on the thirteenth day after his return, he went crazy and killed everyone in Hengyang Sword Studio, including his own daughter."

"Not just Hengyang Sword Studio, many such incidents have occurred, with some truly turning insane, while others, after witnessing unimaginable things in the Black and White Forbidden Area, wanted to do even more radical things, based on cutting off cause and effect, severing all ties."

Guang Ancestor continued slowly, "For this opening, if nothing goes wrong, someone from my Guanglan Palace should come out."

"Even if someone comes out, you don’t have to be so nervous, right?" Li Changqing found it a bit strange, "You’re a Land Immortal yourself; are you worried that another Land Immortal will come out of the Black and White Forbidden Area?"

"

"Is it necessary to be so cautious?" Li Changqing couldn’t help but ask.

Guang Ancestor was silent for a moment and then said, "Perhaps what emerges from there is indeed a Land Immortal."

Li Changqing was quite surprised, "When did Land Immortals become so common, everywhere to be found?"

"I’m just making thorough preparations." Guang Ancestor said quietly, "When he entered the Black and White Forbidden Area, he was already a Great Martial Sect leader. Though the probability of becoming a Land Immortal is slim, it cannot be ruled out. If he truly becomes a Land Immortal, I must be prepared."

Hearing this, Li Changqing did not continue to speak.

Li Changqing vaguely sensed that Guang Ancestor had his own concerns.

No one knew the outcome of his battle with Jiang Tianyun back then.

Judging from Guang Ancestor’s current condition, perhaps he suffered severe injuries back then.

Maybe because of this, he is worried about not being able to handle it.

"Alright."

Li Changqing thought for a moment and agreed to Guang Ancestor’s request, lending him the Immortal Slaying Platform.

"Thank you."

At this moment, Guang Ancestor finally let out a sigh of relief.

"When you need it, just come to me and take it." Li Changqing wasn’t worried about Guang Ancestor borrowing the Immortal Slaying Platform and not returning it, because it wasn’t a true Painting Treasure but a wood carving.
