Under the dim starry sky, the silent ancient ruins were no longer peaceful. Many outsiders had appeared in the seemingly endless ruins.
However, as more and more living beings entered the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court, more and more people touched the various taboo powers that remained in the ruins, and then they suffered the fate of being annihilated.
Obviously, the Ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed because of a great war, a war that could destroy the entire Ancient Heavenly Court. Countless ancient corpses and skeletons were buried under the ruins.
Some places were shrouded in black mist and gloomy clouds. A terrifying aura of death lingered in the air.
Even Sages would avoid such places, let alone approach them. Even Sages wouldn't dare to come into contact with the aura of death.
Ominous things always happened under the ruins where ancient corpses were buried. Some of the ancient corpses were experts of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Even after countless years, their corpses wouldn't decay.
Of course, such undying ancient corpses weren't common in the outside world, but they were occasionally discovered in the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
The aura of death contained in the ancient corpses had been condensed over countless years. Once it was released, even Sages would die upon contact with the aura of death.
Some experts had left behind an undying battle intent. After a long time, such ancient corpses would likely turn into corpses.
Meanwhile, outside the Ancient Heavenly Court's Southern Heaven Gate, the aura of death was surging. Nine dazzling runes were branded in the air and sealed the Southern Heaven Gate.
"The Nine Seals of the Great Dao. I didn't expect such a long-lost technique to appear again."
Someone stared at the nine phoenix runes on the Southern Heaven Gate and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Boom!"
Inside the Southern Heaven Gate, amidst the endless black mist, a strange beast that looked like a Qilin but had three heads was attacking the seal on the Southern Heaven Gate.
The nine sealing runes emitted a dazzling light. The runes vibrated, but they managed to stop the ancient beast's attack.
"Is that the Nine Phoenix Celestial Emperor?"
Someone noticed the Celestial Emperor's attack. It was a blurry figure that was engulfed in flames. The faint silhouette of a phoenix could be vaguely seen in the flames.
The Nine Phoenix Heavenly Emperor was a Holy Venerate powerhouse of the Demon Race. Such a powerhouse had a great reputation in the Demon Race. Even the Old Tortoise had to treat him politely.
The Nine Phoenix Heavenly Emperor was a Nine-headed Phoenix with the bloodline of a True Phoenix. The Nine-headed Phoenix was one of the strongest Emperors in the Heaven Realm.
This was because the Nine Phoenix Heavenly Emperor had nine lives. Every head was a life. He had nine heads and cultivated nine lives. One could imagine how strong his life force was.
The Nine Phoenix Celestial Thearch sealed the Southern Heavenly Gate. The ancient mutated beast's evil intent inside the Southern Heavenly Gate couldn't rush out, but it was also difficult for the people outside to enter the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins.
The Southern Heavenly Gate was the only way in and out of the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court. At least, it was the only way that had been discovered for the time being.
As a result, all the living beings that had entered the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court were temporarily trapped inside. There were even figures of Emperors amongst them.
Most of the Emperors were watching from outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, but some of them couldn't wait and had already entered the Southern Heavenly Gate.
At this moment, in the depths of the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins, outside the valley where Gu Fei was, a tall and burly Emperor wearing black armor and holding a spear attacked. He wanted to break through the layer of divine light that enveloped the entire valley and barge in.
"Roar!"
The Emperor roared angrily. The Dao Laws of the Holy Venerates surged from his body. The divine spear in his hand trembled and emitted a dazzling divine light. An extremely powerful wave of energy erupted from the divine spear.
"Break for me!"
The Emperor raised the divine spear in his hand and stabbed it forward with all his might. The divine spear in his hand turned into a dazzling red light that pierced forward.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire layer of divine light that enveloped the valley shook. Countless ancient runes appeared and intertwined on the divine light.
A powerful wave of energy spread out from the divine light.
The Emperor screamed. He was actually sent flying tens of thousands of feet away. Even the divine spear in his hand flew out. Blood seeped out of his hands and dripped onto the ground.
"This …"
The Emperor was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that not only did he not break through the divine light, but he was also injured by the power of the seal.
Some of the experts watching from afar were dumbfounded when they saw this. That was a full-powered attack from an Emperor and it actually couldn't break through the seal of the valley.
The valley was filled with life energy. Occasionally, there would be rainbow-like celestial light that shot out. There was definitely a great opportunity in the valley. Everyone's eyes were red.
However, not everyone had the ability to obtain the great opportunity in the valley.
The Emperor was unwilling but so what? He couldn't break the seal of the valley. He could only turn around and leave. He didn't give up. He was going to ask for help.
At this moment, in the valley beside the lake, Gu Fei had already refined the spiritual energy of the Peach of Immortality in his body. To his shock, he realized that his bones and tendons seemed to have gone through a metamorphosis and had become even stronger.
Gu Fei stood up from the ground. Instantly, an explosive sound came from his body and a powerful aura spread out from his body.
"As expected of a quasi immortal herb."
Gu Fei sighed. A quasi immortal herb was very useful to him as well. This Peach of Immortality could strengthen one's bones and tendons and increase one's blood energy. Eating a Peach of Immortality was equivalent to having one's entire body being refined.
Of course, this was the first time Gu Fei had eaten a Peach of Immortality. Hence, it had such a miraculous effect. If he ate too many of them, the effect of the Peach of Immortality would gradually decrease until it became useless.
"How can I take these Peach of Immortality trees away?"
Gu Fei looked at the nine Peach of Immortality trees beside the lake. He felt a headache. This was a remnant of the Ancient Heavenly Court. There was a powerful formation protecting it.
He tried to take one of the Peach of Immortality trees.
However, just as he released his Inner Heaven and Earth Energy to envelop the Peach of Immortality tree, the Peach of Immortality tree suddenly glowed. Streams of essence energy seeped out from the tree, and the Peach of Immortality tree became listless.
"This …"
Gu Fei immediately stopped. Then, he saw the Peach of Immortality tree devouring the essence energy of the surroundings and regaining its vitality.
"What's going on?"
Gu Fei could not understand. Could it be that the Peach of Immortality tree could only grow here and could not survive once it left this place?
Even an immortal herb could be transplanted, let alone a quasi immortal herb. There must be some problem that he had not discovered yet. As long as he could find the reason, he would be able to move the Peach of Immortality tree away.
Gu Fei opened his Martial Path Heavenly Eye and observed the Peach of Immortality tree carefully. He was shocked to discover that there were Dao Laws of the Great Dao intertwining on the trunk of the Peach of Immortality tree.
Of course, these Dao Laws were incomplete. There were Chaos Dao Laws, Yin Yang Dao Laws, and this was also the reason why there were Chaos Qi and Yin Yang Qi gathering on the Peach of Immortality.
Looking down from the tree trunk, one could see that the ground was covered with intertwining tendons and roots. Streams of Essence Qi were gathering toward the roots, entering the trunk, and then condensing and evolving in the Peaches of Immortality on the tree crown.
Following the path of the essence energy, Gu Fei discovered that the essence energy being absorbed by the Peach of Immortality tree came from the Immortal Lake.
"Looks like there are some unknown secrets in this Immortal Lake."
Gu Fei muttered to himself.
Through his Martial Path Heavenly Eye, he could see that the surface of the lake was densely packed with Dao Laws that resembled spider webs. This surprised Gu Fei a little.
With Dao Laws densely packed, just what was at the bottom of this Immortal Lake?
As Gu Fei thought about it, a figure walked out from his body. It was one of his clones. This clone was the Indestructible Clone. It was originally the ultimate weapon of the Ji Clan of the Ancestral Star of Myrtle Myrtle, but Gu Fei had taken it away.
The clone took a step forward and instantly appeared in the sky above the lake. The Dao Laws densely packed on the lake's surface emitted a brilliant Dao light the moment Gu Fei's clone appeared on the lake's surface. The Dao Laws appeared from the void and completely enveloped the Immortal Lake.
The Dao Laws manifested ancient runes that sealed the void. However, they were incomplete laws after all, and their power was limited.
Gu Fei's Indestructible Clone broke through the Dao Laws on the lake's surface and rushed into the Immortal Lake with a plop.
"This …"
As soon as he entered the water, Gu Fei felt a bone-piercing chill invading his body. This caused him to be incomparably shocked. The water of the celestial lake was so cold that even a Saint would be frozen solid if he were to enter the lake.
He dove straight to the bottom of the lake. Soon, he stopped. He saw corpses at the bottom of the lake, causing his hair to stand on end.
He saw corpses floating in the lake. Moreover, Gu Fei discovered that these corpses were all young women with dazzling beauty.
These young women wore ancient immortal robes. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no aura of life coming from these women, Gu Fei would have thought that these fairies were just sleeping.
Gu Fei counted and found that there were dozens of corpses at the bottom of the lake.
Apart from the corpses of these fairies, there seemed to be nothing else at the bottom of the lake. However, Gu Fei discovered something. The water at the bottom of the lake did not seem to be cold, but warm.
After sensing it carefully, Gu Fei discovered that there were two different kinds of Spiritual Qi intertwining in the lake. One was bone-chilling cold, while the other was fiery hot.
Gu Fei found it unbelievable that Tai Qi and Sun Essence Qi appeared at the same time in the lake. Yin and Yang intertwined, and all living things were born. It seemed like this Immortal Lake was incredible.
The legendary Immortal Lake indeed lived up to its name. Under the intertwining of Yin and Yang, it could indeed change the physique of a cultivator, allowing a cultivator to condense Immortal Qi and become a Perfected Immortal.
Of course, this was not an easy task.
At this moment, Gu Fei's real body stood quietly by the lake. He could sense everything that the Indestructible Clone saw and felt at the bottom of the lake.
"Could it be that the Tai Yin Celestial Source and the Tai Yang Celestial Source are at the bottom of the lake?"
