The majestic mountain towered into the clouds. Standing here was like standing at the peak of an immortal realm that had existed since time immemorial.
A quiet lake was located at the peak of the mountain, surrounded by green pines and cypresses. There were also huge rocks scattered about, making the clear lake look like a celestial mirror.
This was the famous Celestial Ascension Pond. Legend had it that Wan Qing had secluded himself here for a period of time twenty or thirty thousand years ago, giving it a special status.
Since ancient times, countless people had come here in search of fortuitous opportunities. However, they had all returned empty-handed. As time passed, no one came anymore.
Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back on a bluestone that looked like a crouching bull. In front of him was the mirror-like Celestial Ascension Pond, and behind him were green pines and cypresses.
The green lotuses swayed in the lake, each one flashing with a green luster. The petals were dark green, as if they were carved from jade.
Was this the secret place that the Lotus Thearch had left behind? Ye Fan looked at the clear water, and a fist-sized golden figure appeared in front of his forehead, scanning the surroundings.
In recent days, the ancient races and the Eternal Star Region's experts had confronted each other. He had added fuel to the fire and found all kinds of clues about the Lotus Thearch.
He had infiltrated some powerful clans and read many ancient books. He had found many ancient places and deduced the Lotus Thearch's past.
The Lotus Thearch became stronger and stronger, leaving behind an illustrious name in the Eternal Star Region. In the end, his demonic arts were perfected, and he was comparable to an ancient god. Even now, the people of the Eternal Kingdom are still searching for everything about him.
Plop!
Ye Fan entered the water and scanned every inch of the Celestial Ascension Pond with his divine sense. He even sent the golden figure into the green lotuses and studied them carefully.
Unfortunately, he found nothing. The Lotus Thearch seemed to have only been in seclusion and didn't leave anything behind.
No, on the way to the Eternal Lord Planet, I saw some people still searching for the Lotus Thearch's relics. There must be some Thearch's Treasury left behind.
Ye Fan stood by the shore, listening to the rustling of the pine trees, watching the gurgling spring, listening to the golden eagle's cry in the sky, and looking at the rolling clouds. He was lost in thought, and his mind became clear.
All these years, he had braved through fire and water, roared through the desolate mountains and rivers, fought against the powerful enemies of various races, and traversed the ice-cold universe without a moment of peace.
How many years had it been since he had experienced such tranquility? At this moment, he was a little less murderous and more tranquil.
Ye Fan sat down cross-legged on the Crouching Ox Boulder and took out an ancient scroll. This was the ancient scroll that Princess Yu Die had given him, and it contained the essence of the Great Dao of Nature.
The drizzle was drizzling and the mist lingered. Ye Fan quietly flipped through the ancient scriptures, allowing the rain to fall on the pines. He looked at the flowers, birds, fish, and insects in the book. He didn't leave for a day and a night.
It was not until the next day that he closed the ancient scroll and stood up. He said, "The way of nature cannot be forced. Perhaps the Azure Emperor left something behind, but it might not be suitable for me."
He had a feeling that the opportunity to become a Saint was about to appear. In this place, he developed all kinds of profound meanings of scriptures and even imitated the Nine Slashes of the Demon Thearch. It was as though a demon god had descended into the world.
Suddenly, when the Nine Slashes of the Demon Thearch were unleashed, the surroundings became boundless. The Immortal Ascension Pond glowed, and the cliffs shone brilliantly. Runes appeared one after another.
Ye Fan was astonished. All kinds of runes gathered together, forming a small path that led to a divine gate in the Immortal Ascension Pond.
"A small void world!"
His heart trembled. This was a small world that the Azure Emperor had opened up. Sure enough, he had left something behind. He had searched everywhere in the ruins, and this was the only place he had found something.
Ye Fan walked into the divine gate. The inside was very small, and it was only a space with a circumference of less than three hundred meters. It was excessively simple, with a stone table and two stone stools. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
He walked closer and discovered a few lines of small words on the stone table. After reading them, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was actually a personal letter written by the Azure Emperor here that had been taken away by someone.
"Grandpa Pang came here and obtained the Azure Emperor's personal letter. In addition to the evolution fluid in the ancient cave, I will definitely be unrivaled in the future."
Some of Pang Bo's words were very solemn. He mentioned the gods and warned the later generations that the gods specialized in hunting down those who had walked the path of the strongest trial. As a result, they had obtained many heaven-reaching secret arts.
Ye Fan frowned. Ji Haoyue had also left a message saying that the gods had been hunting down those who had walked the path of the strongest trial since ancient times and had obtained many lost secret arts.
One had to know that those who could walk the path of the strongest trial were all peerless geniuses.
"Pang Bo had a great opportunity. The Azure Emperor's relic had been taken away by him. To me, this Eternal Lord Star is not worth staying for long."
Ye Fan stopped in this star domain for two reasons. One was for the evolution fluid, and the other was to search for the relic of the ancient emperors. These were the two things that attracted him the most.
The Azure Emperor's relic had been taken away, so there was no need to think about Great Emperor Wu Shi's relic. He hadn't been able to find that scripture even after venturing deep into the Purple Mountain. It was probably left for the Innate Saint Physique fetus. It would be difficult for others to obtain it.
"If I can obtain some divine ores and refine the fifth stage of the evolution fluid for my old friends in the Celestial Court, then I can go on my way." He only needed to find another immortal material to add to the origin fluid and he would be able to successfully refine it.
The ancient race and the Eternal race confronted each other and fought fiercely. His goal had been achieved. After solving some problems, he could go on his way.
The trip to the Celestial Ascension Pool made Ye Fan want to leave.
During these days, the Far Ancient Imperial Race had suffered losses from time to time and had no choice but to retreat deeper into the star domain. They were waiting for reinforcements, hoping that a Great Sage would come and sweep through this place with an ancient imperial weapon.
Because this ancient planet was too important, the evolution fluid was of great importance. It would allow their descendants to quickly increase their cultivation levels and become stronger. The path to immortality was about to open, and all races hoped to increase their strength. This would be a guarantee of survival.
At present, there was very little evolution fluid in circulation. However, the various immortal inheritances had sealed some high-grade precious fluids from ancient times. Some of them were even useful to saints and could help them break through them.
In addition, they had discovered another great killing tool on the Eternal Lord Star. It could refine the power of the divine bloodline of the "holy beast" and transform one's physical body, allowing a race to quickly grow stronger.
Even though there were some side effects, if used well, it would be heaven-defying!
The operation to capture the holy beast continued. The people of Eternal Kingdom were full of superiority. Several successful examples had inspired many brave warriors.
Even some saints had been mobilized because some people really wanted to become "holy knights"!
People like Luan Feng and Mi Luo were worried. They felt that the future wasn't optimistic. After many battles, they knew that the ancient race had imperial weapons but didn't bring them.
The search for the Imperishable Golden Body continued. The great inheritances offered sky-high rewards that were even higher than the price of the holy beast. It made people speechless.
At the same time, the saints from the outer realms also arrived. Even though a few of them had been destroyed by the deities on that dead star, there were still some who hurried over and descended upon this region. The situation became even more chaotic.
"Wu, how enviable. The Unsetting Sun King Clan is formidable. They extracted the blood essence of two holy beasts and restored a portion of their ancestor's divine might. They actually obtained great benefits!"
"How shocking. An Unsetting Sun King Clan has appeared in their clan. Rumor has it that he obtained the ancestral dao fragments within the blood of two holy beasts."
This caused a huge commotion. The Unsetting Sun King Clan's harvest was great. They had cracked the secrets of the divine genes and allowed an old expert to improve even further.
However, there were people who curled their lips. Using the blood of the holy beasts to transform the physical body and smelting the ancestral dao fragments would make their future path narrower and narrower.
However, for an old saint whose cultivation had stagnated for many years and found it hard to advance an inch, this was the first choice.
"Shocking news! The Sutuo Clan has issued a great reward. Anyone who can hunt down two holy beasts will be given a divine skin scroll."
A sensational piece of news spread, shaking all parts of the Eternal Lord Star.
"What kind of ancient scroll is it? It's worth two holy beasts. Isn't this too exaggerated?" Everyone inquired about it.
"It's an ancient star map passed down by the ancestors of the Sutuo Clan. It records the secrets of the ancient deities."
"Impossible. If it was this kind of treasure map, why would the Sutuo Clan issue a reward? They would have explored it themselves a long time ago."
This triggered a huge uproar. The Eternal Lord Star was surging with waves.
"The Sutuo Clan has been guarding the treasure map for many years without obtaining anything. Now that the clan has declined, they want to use other rewards in exchange for a chance to rise up."
The Unsetting Sun King Clan had an additional heavenly king. This stimulated the various great undying inheritances. All the clans wanted to imitate them.
The Sutuo Clan was originally one of the strongest clans in the Eternal Lord Star, but it was a pity that they had gradually declined. Now, apart from an old saint, there were no successors. They wanted to use the holy beasts to transform the physique of the clan's disciples and increase their cultivation.
This was a divine ancient scroll that recorded an ancient starry domain. The ancestors of the Sumeru Clan had gone there eighty thousand years ago and saw a legendary Ancient Tree of Life.
They naturally wanted to seize it, but the natives there were too powerful. They almost wiped out the Sutuo Clan's experts, and only one escaped.
In the following years, they returned to that starry domain several times. In the end, they returned in low spirits each time, suffering disastrous losses.
"Ancient Tree of Life, this is one of the legendary immortal medicines. Unexpectedly … there really is such a thing!"
Eternal Kingdom naturally erupted. Everyone wanted to obtain it.
It was rumored that the Ancient Tree of Life had appeared on their ancient star for a period of time. Unfortunately, it was snatched away by a peerless expert from outside the domain hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"Ancient Tree of Life, this is an immortal medicine that belongs to the deities. It is a priceless treasure. A single branch is enough to regenerate flesh and bones!"
"If one wants to refine the perfect ninth level evolution liquid, I heard that immortal medicines are needed. The Ancient Tree of Life can undoubtedly do it. This is the most precious thing!"
Great waves surged through Eternal Lord Star. All sides couldn't calm down. However, some people didn't believe that the Sutuo Clan would so generously offer up this diagram.
Experts from all sides sought confirmation. Even peerless experts like Luan Feng and Mi Luo personally paid them a visit.
The Sutuo Clan had no choice but to tell them the truth. Starting from sixty thousand years ago, that ancient starry domain disappeared. This left the clan puzzled no matter how they thought about it. They never gave up during these years, but in the end, they could only release a long sigh.
"What? The Ancient Tree of Life and that starry domain disappeared? How could this be? Who could have such great magical force to cover the boundless starry sky? Could it be that they could cover the heavens?!"
Many people were stunned, expressing their confusion. Quite a few people felt that this ancient scroll wasn't worth it.
However, the true experts like Luan Feng and Mi Luo paid even more attention. They paid the Sutuo Clan a visit, carefully listening to the details, flipping through the personal letters left behind by their ancestors.
"There is an existence comparable to the Great Sage among the powerful natives. The entire clan protects the Ancient Tree of Life and worships the deities. This is an ancient clan!"
In the end, Blue Sea Clan, Fire Cloud Clan, Cao Family, Unsetting Sun King Clan, Zhao Family, Lan Tuo Clan, Fan Clan and others all came, all of them paying close attention.
"The Ancient Tree of Life is worth paying attention to. With so many great clans exploring it, we might be able to find something!" Ye Fan was also moved. He wanted to leave behind enough information for his old friends in the Celestial Court. It would be best if the fifth level or higher evolution liquid appeared. If the Ancient Tree of Life could be found, this would definitely come true.
