After eating a total of four golden holy fruits, Ye Fan felt that he had recovered to his peak condition. His body was flawless, like a crystal clear divine weapon. Divine power surged in his every move, and he felt that his body had become a lot stronger.
"The power of desolation in the endless abyss is indeed terrifying. Even the sacred grounds and the families of the Clan of the Ancients could do nothing about it. In this world, only the holy fruit can dispel it. No wonder it has been famous in the Eastern Barren Territory since ancient times. It really is a divine medicine."
When entering the forbidden area of the Barren Age, a white skeleton was enough to kill more than a dozen powerful knights. One could imagine how terrifying the power of desolation was. Ye Fan was attacked by an even more terrifying Desolate Slave, and the aura of desolation on his body became even stronger. If it were not for his Sacred Body of the Ancients and the divine medicine, he would have died without a doubt.
"There are many antidotes beside the nest of poisonous insects. This saying does make sense …"
The forbidden area of life was very mysterious and evil, but there were nine kinds of divine medicine growing in such a dangerous place, which was quite astonishing.
"I've completely recovered my youth. It's time for me to improve my strength." Ye Fan was very excited. He needed powerful divine medicine to help him make another breakthrough.
However, when he saw his reflection in the spring, he was shocked. He seemed to have shrunk a little, becoming a teenager around 13 years old. His handsome face in the water had a hint of innocence and tenderness.
Ye Fan immediately moaned helplessly and said, "Greetings to your ancestors. If I eat another golden holy fruit, won't I turn into a white and tender baby?" After thinking about this terrifying consequence, he felt his hair stand on end. If he turned into a baby in the endless abyss, it would be really funny.
"Damn you!"
Ye Fan thought for a long time but could not come up with any solution. He suddenly felt a headache coming on.
There were a total of 11 small trees beside the spring, and at the moment, there were seven golden holy fruits. They were crystal clear and sparkling, and their fragrance was intoxicating.
"Got it!" Suddenly, he remembered the records in the Taoist Scripture. In a few words, it simply mentioned an ancient method to suppress oneself with an implement to achieve eternity.
"I'll suppress myself with my cauldron and take the divine medicine. That should be fine." However, he did not dare to take the risk here. If something went wrong, he would die without a burial place.
Ye Fan took out a few jade boxes from his pocket and carefully placed the golden sacred fruits inside. He felt like he was holding seven divine treasures in his hands, so he carefully put them away. Those were the divine herbs needed to cultivate the Sacred Body of the Ancients, and he could not afford to lose them!
"I finally got it." He let out a long sigh of relief. He had narrowly escaped death, but he had finally succeeded. Thinking that the Jiang family, the Ji family, and the Yaoguang Holy Land were all annihilated, and even the practitioners who had surpassed the Nirvana Realm were not spared, he felt that it was too difficult to pick the divine medicine, which suddenly gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Ye Fan stood up and looked at the other seven sacred mountains, he mumbled to himself, "There are still seven divine herbs …"
He really wanted to get his hands on all of them. In that case, there would be no more obstacles in cultivating the Sacred Body of the Ancients in the future. It was very likely that he would reach the top. However, it seemed that it would be difficult to achieve his wish now. Every sacred mountain was guarded by Desolate Slaves. They had bodies of flesh and blood, and each of them was comparable to the Tianxuan Saintess, or even more terrifying.
Ye Fan did not think that the green copper block would protect him on its own. Lucky things would not happen a second time. If those Desolate Slaves attacked him directly, there would be no suspense at all.
"I really want to know what the other divine medicines look like," Ye Fan muttered to himself.
Every single sacred mountain had a type of divine medicine. This left him extremely confused. Were they planted by humans? He could clearly sense that those small trees had existed for countless years. In the distant past, what kind of place was this exactly? What happened in the past?
Ye Fan felt that this place was most likely a pure land in the Primordial Age. Otherwise, how could there be a divine spring and sacred trees? Something terrible must have happened later, which made it a forbidden zone for life.
Then, he thought of the crazy old man's words and said, "That crazy old man said that it was coming again. What did he mean?"
Ye Fan looked at a sacred mountain in the distance. There were the most white skeletons there, far more than the other peaks. White skeletons constantly climbed up from the abyss, forming a small mountain of bones on the mountain.
"The bronze coffin is covered by the white skeletons. What's going on? How did the ancient coffin return to the sacred mountain? Was it done by those Desolate Slaves? Are they afraid and don't want it to stay in the abyss?" Ye Fan was full of questions.
This place was not suitable for him to stay for long. He did not want to delay any longer. He walked to a nearby place and picked up a jade bottle. It was only the size of a palm and was completely white. It seemed to be carved out of fine jade. This was a treasure from the Yaoguang Holy Land. Xu Daoling had given it to him. There was a space inside that could contain a large mountain.
At the moment, the jade bottle was much dimmer. Its divine glow was restrained, and the patterns on it were extremely blurry. They were about to disappear.
"Could this treasure have been destroyed by the demonic power of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?" Ye Fan came to the side of the spring with the jade bottle in his hand and started to collect the divine spring water.
Gudong! Gudong!
The milky white jade bottle did not fill up very quickly. Ye Fan estimated that he had already collected seven to eight catties of water. This made him very happy. Although it was not as precious as the holy medicine, the spring water here was still known as the divine spring. There must be something special about it.
"Damn it, didn't you say that it could contain a mountain? Why is it full now?" He estimated that the jade bottle was full after he had collected a few dozen catties of water.
He could only collect this much divine spring water and could not continue. Ye Fan stood up and arrived in front of the eleven small trees. He plucked a needle shaped leaf and placed it in his mouth to chew. He felt a powerful spiritual energy.
"If it was a greedy person, they would most likely uproot these holy trees." Ye Fan did not want to waste natural resources. This kind of divine tree could only live on the divine spring water. He did not want to destroy it. Maybe he would come back to collect the holy medicine in the future.
He only broke a few slender branches and inserted them into the jade bottle. Then, he walked down the mountain in big strides.
Not far from the mountain peak, Ye Fan saw a purple bronze mirror. It was the weapon of Jiang Hanzhong, the Elder of the Jiang Family. It was dim and laid among the rocks.
"A weapon refined by a cultivator who surpassed the Nirvana Realm must be extraordinary." Not long ago, he had seen the terrifying power of the purple bronze mirror. It made the sun and the moon dim and the heaven and earth lose their color. It shot out a bright light and shook the vast divine power.
Ye Fan picked up the purple bronze mirror and said, "Just like the jade bottle, the divine glow is restrained, and the Dao pattern is gone. I wonder if it can recover after leaving the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land …"
Not far away, there was a Tianluo Umbrella. It was the weapon of Ji Yunfeng, the Elder of the Ji Family. It was pierced by Tianxuan Saintess and was a little damaged, but Ye Fan still put it away.
After searching for a while, he found nothing else. Ye Fan rushed down the mountain quickly. He did not want to stop. He did not want the youth that he had just recovered to become old again.
"I can't go back the way I came …"
The Jiang Family, the Ji Family, and the Yaoguang Holy Land each had a chariot parked outside the forbidden land. Jiang Hanzhong and the others had to pay respect to the people in the chariot. It could be imagined how powerful they were.
Ye Fan Xiang chose a direction and did not waste any time. He quickly charged out, his speed reaching his limit.
"If those big shots are willing to use their Primordial Qi, they can open their celestial eyes and look hundreds of miles away. That is how they found the bronze coffin. I must leave as soon as possible, lest they have a whim and look into the distance. If that happens, there will be no place for me in the Eastern Barren Territory."
Not long after, Ye Fan rushed out of the life forbidden zone. Without any hesitation, he began to gulp down the divine spring. He was afraid that it would be as Jiang Hanzhong said, that there would be terrifying changes after leaving the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.
Obviously, he was thinking too much. He was already a Life Spring Realm cultivator, and he quickly dissolved the divine medicine on the Holy Mountain, completing the transformation. At this moment, there would be no other changes.
"I wonder how Liu Yiyi, Zhang Ziling, and the others are doing …"
Ye Fan rushed deep into the mountain, far away from the forbidden land. He knew that there would be a big uproar. The news that all the experts of the Jiang Family, the Ji Family, and the Yaoguang Holy Land were all killed in the forbidden land would definitely spread. At that time, it would definitely be a big shock.
"I can only hide for now. After a year and a half, when things calm down, I will show myself." He didn't want to take risks, so he decided to open up a cave in this ancient mountain range and live in seclusion. He wanted to increase his cultivation without letting anyone know.
In the end, Ye Fan chose a stone mountain and opened up a cave in it.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Ye Fan tried to use the cauldron to suppress himself to achieve "eternity". However, there were not many related records in the Dao Canon. Just a few words, and he almost killed himself.
"Greetings to your ancestors!" After struggling for a whole month, he finally broke free and put away the cauldron. His face was extremely pale, and he quickly took out the Pristine Jade Bottle and drank a lot of the divine spring water to recover.
Just like that, he searched for another two months before he finally found the way. The cauldron was simple and natural. It slowly enlarged to a height of five meters in the cave, and then it sucked him in and suppressed him inside.
According to the ancient method recorded in the Dao Canon, Ye Fan imprinted nine strange ancient characters inside the cauldron. This time, the nine ancient characters were finally arranged perfectly. It was as if they had the terrifying power to change the heaven and earth. Suddenly, the inside of the cauldron became chaotic and hazy, as if it had arrived at the beginning of the world.
"These nine ancient characters..." At this moment, a light flashed across Ye Fan's mind. He suddenly thought of a possibility.
A long time ago, when he was studying the Dao Canon, he felt that these nine ancient characters were very special. In the Dao Canon, they were listed as symbols. There was no specific explanation of their meaning, so he naturally couldn't recognize them. There were only a few sentences that simply mentioned an ancient method. According to the Dao Canon, when these nine ancient characters were imprinted on a "tool", it could provide origin power to suppress one's body and achieve "eternity".
"I know..." Ye Fan was very excited. These nine ancient characters reminded him of the ancient scripture he obtained from the bronze coffin. These nine ancient characters were very similar to the hundreds of ancient characters, as if they were the same type of script!
"These nine ancient characters actually have such a great power, and that mysterious ancient scripture was completely recorded with these ancient characters. Not to mention the true value of the ancient scripture, just extracting these hundreds of ancient characters one by one can be called a priceless treasure!"
At this moment, the nine ancient characters imprinted inside the cauldron were chaotic and hazy. Time seemed to have stopped, and at this moment, only the rhythm of the dao was left, as if it had reached eternity.
