This was a heart-shaped seed that was dull and lusterless. Its entire body was yellowish-brown, and even though it didn't have any divine splendor, it was suffused with a powerful life force.
"What is this?" Longma stared at it anxiously.
The Nine-tailed Crocodile even felt like crying. This seed was definitely not ordinary. It suspected that it was formed from a divine medicine's rebirth. It was originally so close to it, but now, it felt like it was at the ends of the earth.
"Why does it look like the seed of an immortal medicine?" Longma's large eyes spun continuously. Then, it suddenly stuck its head out and bit down.
"Ga beng!"
The Nine-tailed Crocodile felt that its teeth were in pain. It looked at it sympathetically. Finger marks appeared on Longma's teeth, and they almost broke off.
"This one is in so much pain!" Longma grimaced in pain.
It didn't make a sound and wanted to swallow the seed that seemed to be an immortal medicine, but it couldn't snatch it away from Ye Fan's finger and almost broke its own teeth.
"That is actually mine." The Nine-tailed Crocodile couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Ye Fan turned it around and looked at it. He felt an exuberant life force, and there really was the aura of an immortal medicine. It made him feel like he was dreaming.
He didn't quite believe it. How could an Evil Emperor leave behind a stalk of divine medicine?
"It looks like a peach pit, no, to be more precise, the peach kernel within the pit." Ye Fan said to himself.
Then, he carefully sensed and confirmed it. His eyes revealed a strange light. He knew what it was, and it really was related to an immortal medicine.
He activated his divine force. Ten thousand streaks of multicolored light entered the seed, and in that instant, the yellowish-brown seed shot out strand after strand of incomparably brilliant immortal splendor.
Ye Fan felt a familiar aura, and it was similar to the immortal peach tree he saw in the Jade Pool. He said, "The Evil Emperor had eaten the immortal peach medicine before."
The true immortal peach medicine was in the forbidden region of life — the Divine Ruins. The ancient tree in the Jade Pool was planted from its seed.
No matter how much the Jade Pool cared for it, using endless earth milk and divine liquid to nurture it, it still couldn't compare to the true immortal peach medicine. It only had a portion of its medicinal effects.
It was because every single stalk of undying medicine was unique, impossible to duplicate, never existing together.
"This is the seed of the real Peach of Immortality. Even if the essence of the meat has been consumed by the Demon Emperor, the kernel left behind is still extraordinary." Longma couldn't sit still anymore.
The Nine-tailed Crocodragon also felt like it had a hundred claws scratching its heart. It became even more restless and regretful. After occupying the cave for so many years, it actually missed out on a supreme treasure.
Ordinary almonds and peach kernels had to be processed before they could be eaten. No one knew how to remove the harmful substances from such a heaven-defying seed.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Ye Fan glanced at Longma and told him the stakes.
Longma shook its head vigorously. What kind of joke was this? Using it to test medicine? One mistake and it might turn into dust. It was true that this seed contained the Essence of Immortality, but it had to be eaten to survive.
"This is such a dry seed. I don't like it. Why don't you let the Crocodragon have a taste?" Longma urged. It wanted to let the Nine-tailed Crocodragon test the medicine.
"You almost broke your big tooth. Don't you want to eat it? I won't fight with you." The Nine-tailed Crocodragon had a simple and honest look on its face as it said it would give it the seed.
Longma cast a sidelong glance and resisted the urge to kick it.
The Essence of Immortality was contained in the meat juice. Compared to that, although the value of this seed was also astonishing, it wasn't that heaven-defying.
"Sigh, the Demon Emperor ate the divine medicine and left the core behind. How insincere." Longma mumbled.
The ancient jade pieces were branded into its and the Nine-tailed Crocodragon's brains, allowing them to reap great rewards. Among them, the Blood Transfusion Secret Technique was the most heaven-defying, allowing them to transform into dragons.
The nine pieces of ancient jade were the two sacred beasts' greatest rewards, and it would affect their future cultivation paths.
"Rumble!"
In the distance, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard. It sounded like the beating of a divine drum, mixed with a yellow gale. It was extremely demonic and heaven-defying.
"Oh, what's going on?"
Longma and the Nine-tailed Crocodragon rushed out of the cave together. Ye Fan also followed them out and looked into the distance. He saw many figures flying in that direction.
"A world-shocking magic tool has appeared. Let's go and take a look."
The powerful fluctuations were extremely intense. It originated from a group of cultivators fighting thousands of miles away, and it was spreading even further.
"What's going on?"
"A stone ship has fallen from outer space. Wind and thunder are raging, and many people are chasing after it."
Ye Fan listened to the people's discussion and felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but look at the sky. Could it be that a great battle had happened in the starry sky?
"Could it be that the Sacred Spirit has led an army to attack?" The others also revealed worried expressions.
Soon, the news came. This was a stone ship in the depths of the starry sky. When it was approaching and spying on the Tenth City of the human race, it was slashed down by the receiving envoy and fell on this ancient planet.
These secrets made many trial takers nervous. A great battle might really be approaching, and the rumors they had heard before might become true.
"Is there really a Sacred Spirit? This is too frightening. To want to sever the human race's ancient path, its strength must have reached a shocking level."
This was a type of atmosphere that made people feel uneasy!
Even if the trial takers who stepped on the ancient path were fearless and confident, when they thought of the Sacred Spirit whose cultivation realm was enough to make people despair, their expressions changed.
Twenty thousand miles away, a Sacred Beast King took action and seized the magic tool from the starry sky — the stone ship. Only an incomplete corpse was left behind, and it wasn't a creature from this ancient planet.
Several days later, a riot broke out in a mountain range ten thousand miles away. The ancient beasts fought a great battle, and holy might filled the air. That region flowed with blood like a river.
When the human trial takers rushed over, they discovered that the ancient beasts that were originally friendly to the human race had all fallen, and a few ambitious ancient beasts that were hostile to the human race had risen up.
This made people feel that something was wrong. Although there were battles between ancient beasts, it was rare to see such an intense battle. A large number of experts had died, and their blood had dyed the land red.
"Could it be that there are forces from the outer realms participating?" Some sensitive people felt somewhat uneasy.
If this was only a cloud of doubt, then what happened next could be considered a haze that shrouded the hearts of many people.
In the western direction, a Sacred Beast King that had ruled over a region for thousands of years had fallen. This battle caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to split.
This Sacred Beast King was definitely an expert at the top of the pyramid on this ancient planet, but it had been killed by someone. It had some friendly relations with the envoy from the Tenth City.
"I can already feel a sense of foreboding …"
"The Sacred Spirit in the depths of the starry sky is about to arrive. These are only the early shadows."
An aura of panic pervaded the air!
Just what kind of powerful existence had gathered in the starry sky to actually want to sever the human race's ancient path? It was fine if they didn't launch this operation, but once they did, it would definitely be earth-shattering.
During these few days, all kinds of secret news spread out. It was rumored that a great Sacred Spirit had been born in the depths of the universe. Its blood energy could split the universe, and its gaze could shatter the sky. It was extremely powerful.
The Tenth City was just a battlefield. It wanted to sweep through the entire star field.
The trial takers were increasing their strength, and the envoy was also dispatched to seek help from the depths of the ancient path. At the same time, he was discussing with the Sacred Beast King on this life planet.
However, what happened next made people feel an even more serious crisis. Some ancient beasts were mobilized and began to slaughter human trial takers.
People believed that forces from the outer realms had infiltrated and joined forces with some ancient beasts. The dark clouds of a world-shaking war were getting closer and closer.
Many people felt uneasy. Many cultivators had already understood that there was no hope of achieving the Dao. All they could hope for was to become a Sacred King. Now that something like this had happened, some people wanted nothing more than to return to their homeland.
Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and bad news came from time to time.
Several days later, among the trial takers, an expert with an impressive background and astonishing cultivation who had once withstood dozens of moves from the Great Demonic God was killed. His blood dyed the mountain range red.
Even though this person hadn't advanced an inch after that battle and had stopped here, people believed that as long as he could overcome the obstacle in his heart, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
A powerful seed had died just like that. But a Saint who could compete with the Great Demonic God from more than twenty years ago was slaughtered just like that. Naturally, this caused a huge uproar.
Many people were in danger because in these few days, many powerful trial takers had met with accidents and died unnatural deaths. This was too abnormal.
Many cultivators returned to the Tenth City and waited for the arrival of the storm.
Four days later, an even more shocking news came. An ancient pass of the human race deep in the starry sky ancient path was attacked and destroyed. Everyone in the Holy City had fallen, and even the envoy had died in battle.
This was horrifying and shocked everyone.
That part of the starry sky ancient path had been severed. There was no way to connect to the road ahead or the road behind.
This was like a hurricane sweeping over. Everyone was in a state of panic as the dark clouds of impending war pressed down on them. It was even more terrifying than they had imagined.
"The starry sky ancient path has been severed. Can we still go on? There's most likely no road ahead. "
"Just what kind of Sacred Spirit is this? Is it going to attack the entire ancient path of the human race?!"
Many cultivators retreated to the Tenth City with worried expressions, not knowing what they would face next. There were also many who didn't go back. They were worried that the Tenth City would repeat the same mistake and be the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
Two days later, another piece of news whose authenticity was unknown came. It was said that another part of the starry sky ancient path had been severed and that part of the starry sky was dyed red with blood.
A haze appeared in everyone's hearts. Could they still continue on this path? This was a rare occurrence since ancient times.
Could it be that this batch of trial takers had no fate with the road ahead? Or could it be that the starry sky ancient path had reached its end and might be severed from now on?
In this suffocating atmosphere, Ye Fan's heart was also very heavy. However, it was useless to worry. The most important thing at the moment was to increase his strength. There was no telling how many people would die in this dangerous situation.
"This Peach Seed of Immortality can't be eaten. The essence of immortal divinity and the Great Dao Fragment contained within is naturally out of reach. However, I can refine the powerful life force within it," Ye Fan said to himself.
Whether it was him, Longma, or the nine-headed Crocodile Dragon, they all felt that it was a pity. The immortal divinity and the Great Dao Fragment were the most precious parts of the celestial medicine.
The life force of the Peach Seed of Immortality was powerful enough and rarely seen in this world!
Ye Fan needed opposing forces to break through. Now that he had the power of life, he naturally needed the power of death.
Longma was seriously doubtful. He didn't believe in the heavenly technique he created and reminded him several times not to act recklessly.
In the end, the nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon thought of a place that contained a majestic aura of death. It might be able to help him cultivate, so he led the way.
"You guys don't need to worry. With two opposing forces, I can break through and become stronger." Ye Fan was very confident in the dao he created.
Now that the entire ancient path was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, he needed to increase his strength as much as possible.
