Clear and cold moonlight sprinkled down. The entire ancient star was tranquil without a single cloud. Ye Fan strolled alone as he carefully sensed this unfamiliar land.
After walking out of the five-colored sacrificial altar, he arrived at an unknown ancient star. The surface was dry and hard, and the temperature was cold. This was a land of bitter cold.
There were no plants, no water sources, and the sky was filled with stars. The night was quiet, and the land was vast and empty. Only some mist lingered between the mountain ranges.
"Is it really that difficult to find a true ancient star with life?"
Ye Fan had been out for more than half a year, and the only place he had seen life was a land of white bones. There wasn't even a bone in the other galaxies, and there was nothing related to life.
This place was barren, and the ground was as hard as stone. He walked for over a thousand li without finding anything, but he wasn't in a hurry to continue.
"Stars after stars are connected by an ancient road. What were the ancients searching for? It definitely wasn't a training ground specially arranged for later generations. Perhaps it was because they discovered all kinds of trials that they were used by later generations. "
"Could it be that there are still ancient sages fighting at the forefront?"
Ye Fan thought of many things. The road opened by the ancient ancestors was definitely full of danger. Perhaps the battle had always been going on, and they were merely descendants living in a safe region.
Suddenly, his expression became sluggish. After walking for several hundred li, under the clear and cold moonlight, he saw a figure. It was extremely withered, and it was currently strolling about.
"There's someone there?" Ye Fan revealed a strange expression. Just now, he had used his divine sense to scan the distance, but he didn't see anything. Now, he actually saw a life form.
The distance was extremely far. That person was at the end of the horizon. He was tall and slender like a specter as he walked unhurriedly.
"Who is this person?" Ye Fan was on high alert. No matter how he looked at it, this was a dead star. The air was thin, and it was filled with poisonous gas. There were no plants or vitality.
At this time, a humanoid creature suddenly appeared. It naturally surprised him, and he wanted to see what was going on. Who knows, he might discover something unexpected.
When Ye Fan opened his Celestial Eye, he was shocked to find that it wasn't a human, but rather, a creature covered in red fur. It was walking slowly, head bowed.
"A humanoid creature with red fur …" The moment Ye Fan saw it, he felt strange. He immediately thought of the Yuan Taoist Master in his later years and shook his head.
"They've all entered the Star Domain, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the Yuan Taoist Master's faction." He carefully followed behind and moved forward.
"Roar …"
Suddenly, a roar rang out. The red fur on the skinny humanoid creature's body stood on end. It raised its head to the sky and howled at the moon.
This was an extremely terrifying scene. The deathly stillness of the withered star was immediately shattered. Mountains swayed and all types of mountain rocks tumbled down.
This was a Dao Severing creature, and it was extremely powerful. It was furious, and only after a long time did it calm down and enter the mountain range.
At the end of the mountain range, there was a large black hole that led straight underground. Mist surged up from there, causing people to feel intimidated. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to enter here and would definitely turn around and return.
However, Ye Fan didn't stop there. He wanted to find some clues. Perhaps this creature had seen Ji Haoyue, Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, and Bodhisattva West.
This hole was very deep and led straight underground. Not long after entering, he felt waves of life energy. At this moment, Ye Fan knew that this ancient star wasn't completely devoid of life. It was all underground, forming a small world of its own.
After descending for thousands of meters, lava appeared and surged. Many humanoid creatures were underground. They could actually drink the lava and absorb energy.
This name immediately appeared in his mind. It had long since gone extinct in the Big Dipper, and he didn't want to see it here. It lived underground and could survive as long as there was a fire source.
This was a type of powerful humanoid creature. Their bodies were unbreakable and impervious to swords and spears. They were an extremely terrifying race, and there were a few spiritual treasures in their habitats.
"Who is it?"
As soon as Ye Fan entered, a loud shout was transmitted. Naturally, it was the fluctuation of divine sense that swept over like a tide.
Half Saint!
There was a half-saint existence in this ancient cave. Ye Fan had vaguely sensed it when he entered. Now that it was confirmed, he felt even more at ease.
"Humans, it's humans again. How hateful!" The Fire God Monkey that was strolling on the surface just now shouted. It was a commander-like figure.
"I'm passing by this ancient star and don't want to become enemies with you. I just want to ask you some questions," said Ye Fan.
"I don't trust humans. You stole my race's Fire God Stone and made it much more difficult for us to survive. Humans are despicable, and we will never associate with you again."
A group of Fire God Monkeys pounced over. All of them cried out malevolently. Their bodies were covered in dense red fur, and they wanted nothing more than to kill him immediately.
Ye Fan frowned. He had suffered an undeserved calamity and had to protect others. He had no choice but to explain.
"Although it wasn't you, you are of the same race. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!" roared that powerful old monkey.
A battle was simply unavoidable, but it was a pity that they encountered Ye Fan. Even a group of unbreakable Fire God Monkeys weren't enough. All of them were shaken until they spat out blood and their bodies were cracked.
Ye Fan entered their ancient cave and searched carefully. He opened the stone jars one by one. Immediately, the smell of alcohol soared into the sky and almost made him drunk.
"Divine wine!"
He drank a jar without holding back. His entire body seemed to be on fire as essence energy overflowed in all directions. It was greatly beneficial to cultivation.
"You bunch of monkeys, all of you fought with your lives on the line with red eyes. Why are you all lying down now?" Ye Fan stored the monkey's divine wine into his own magical artifact. This was truly a type of fine wine.
The eyes of the group of Fire God Monkeys were all red. They thought that they had encountered another robber. Their hearts were filled with extreme resentment. All of them roared and glared at him.
Ye Fan smiled and collected dozens of jars of divine wine. Then, he threw down a large pile of divine source. Essence energy overflowed in all directions and illuminated the entire ancient cave.
"I know this wine is extraordinary and might be of great use to your cultivation. I won't take it for free. I'll exchange it with you guys of equal value."
The group of Fire God Monkeys were greatly surprised. They looked at each other and stopped roaring.
"I want to know if you guys have seen these people before." He took out the portraits of Ji Ziyue, Pang Bo, and the others to confirm if they were on the way.
"Yes, we've all passed by a few years ago."
After getting a definite answer, Ye Fan let out a long sigh and said, "You guys have been here for so many years. Have your ancestors seen any special people?"
"There are a few that left a deep impression. One is called Wu Shi, and the other is called Wan Qing. I remember now … There are also people who are similar to you. Once they start fighting, golden blood qi surges!"
The Fire God Monkeys thought of some of the legends of their ancestors. Because they were isolated from the world, they did not have many opportunities to see other races. Hence, they had a deep impression of these people.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. The strongest people in the history of the Big Dipper had indeed been here. Needless to say, Wu Shi was known to the entire world. As for Wan Qing, he was definitely referring to the Azure Thearch.
"This time, the reason why we got into trouble and had our supreme treasure, the Fire God Stone, robbed is related to that Wan Qing."
The half-sage old monkey saw that Ye Fan had given them so many divine sources, which would be of great benefit to the younger generation's cultivation. It calmed down and asked some questions seriously.
"What? Related to the Azure Thearch? What's going on?" Ye Fan's heart trembled. He felt that there was most likely a big secret.
After the Desolate Antiquity Era, the world changed greatly. The Azure Thearch was the only person who proved his Dao. He was called the Eternal Thearch by the fiend race because he walked the path of the strongest trial.
Due to these reasons, Ye Fan had no choice but to pay attention. He did not expect the Fire God Monkeys to know something.
"Rumor has it that Wan Qing went to the star domain of those bandits. He stayed there for a long time and left behind many traces. In recent years, they seemed to have found some important clues at Wan Qing's place of seclusion. They are incomparably crazy and are searching for something. "
The Fire God Monkeys had just suffered an undeserved calamity. That group of people did not come for the Fire God Stone. Since they found it, it was naturally taken away.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. What did the Azure Thearch leave behind? Could it be the secret of him proving his Dao in the past? This caused great waves to surge in his heart!
In the end, after he understood enough information, he bid farewell to the Fire God Monkeys and stepped onto the ancient path of the starry sky again.
"Let the ancient star with life appear. I am incomparably eager. It would be best if it appeared in the star domain of that group of people." Ye Fan prayed. He was really tired of the monotonous journey on the withered stars.
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. Along the way, Ye Fan encountered several dangers, but he narrowly passed them all.
In the past year, he did not encounter a true ancient star with life. However, he encountered more than ten types of tyrannical creatures, some of which were very terrifying.
"Another ancient star. Is there still no life?" Ye Fan was helpless. He longed for green vegetation and hoped to see other races.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed again. This was a small planet. It was barren and had nothing.
"Eh? Something's not right. Is there something monitoring me?"
Ye Fan stood in the sky. He suddenly raised his head and quickly opened his Heavenly Eye. Suddenly, he saw a small flying device flying over his head.
"Eh?"
This caused his expression to change. He used the Line Formula and his body turned into a bolt of lightning. He quickly rushed towards the flying metal object and caught up in the blink of an eye.
"This is …"
Ye Fan was truly shocked. This was an ancient flying machine that was orbiting around this small star, moving around the earth.
"Looking at the traces on it, it has most likely been here for tens of thousands of years. However, it hasn't fallen yet. It has always been orbiting the ground …"
His mind trembled. This was a product of a technological civilization. However, it had long been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. When he slowly disintegrated it, electric sparks flashed non-stop.
"This place once gave birth to an extremely advanced technological civilization." Ye Fan muttered to himself. He hesitated in his heart. Should he continue advancing along the ancient starry sky path or search this area horizontally?
In the end, Ye Fan stopped. He decided to search this star field to see if he could make any shocking discoveries.
He used the formation platforms prepared by the Black Emperor to cross over to the neighboring planets. Of course, it was impossible to reach them in one go. Instead, he changed the chessboard formation platforms many times.
After descending on four dried up small planets in a row, he discovered some ruins. It should be the temporary landing base of the spaceship. Unfortunately, it was also abandoned.
When he landed on the fifth small planet, Ye Fan's heart trembled. He saw a huge platform with two spaceships parked on it.
There was a base here. Although it had been abandoned for countless years, it could be seen that someone had recently reused it. There were very strong life fluctuations.
"Someone is here!" Ye Fan quickly snuck over. He was underground and did his best to conceal his aura with his Dao marks.
"Did you guys find anything? After being busy for so long, we haven't discovered anything at all. What exactly did Wan Qing leave behind back then? It's already been twenty to thirty thousand years, yet the higher-ups still attach so much importance to it and are looking for the places he has walked before. "
Ye Fan understood their intentions through his divine sense. His heart was not calm. Wan Qing was Emperor Qing, and these people were searching for his footprints in the past!
"We don't have any clues about Wan Qing either, but we have other great gains. We obtained a Fire God's Stone, a very rare mineral used to refine the strongest physique evolution liquid."
