Golden Cicada was someone who shouldn't have appeared. Why did he appear on this ancient road? Ye Fan found it unbelievable and was lost in thought.
"How old is he?"
"At most one or two hundred years old." The Southern Demon sat on a stone chair, his posture tall and straight. His black hair was loose and his expression solemn. He was very afraid of Golden Cicada.
Ye Fan pondered. This should be a person of nothingness and shouldn't exist in this world. Why did he really appear? He couldn't figure it out.
Golden Cicada was the previous incarnation of Tang Xuanzang. This was what was said in Journey to the West. However, there were no such records in orthodox Buddhism. It was just a fabrication.
But now, Golden Cicada had appeared. He really was the disciple of Gautama Buddha. His magic power was boundless. Even the beautiful Enlightened Feeling was far from being his opponent. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The Golden Cicada on the human race's ancient road was only one or two hundred years old. However, the real Venerable Xuanzang was an ancient person from fifteen or sixteen hundred years ago. If he forced himself to associate the two as the same person, it would obviously be inconsistent.
Ye Fan pondered for a long time and was lost in thought. This ancient road was really complicated and filled his heart with fog.
"Is there any more news about him?"
The Southern Demon shook his head and said, "This young monk is very mysterious. He's always been elusive."
Although Golden Cicada had also appeared on the human race's ancient road, he wasn't heading towards the end. He was following the footsteps of his master, Gautama Buddha.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. "News about Gautama Buddha? Are there any legends about him on the ancient road?"
The Southern Demon said, "Never heard of it. Golden Cicada leaked some information when he was asking around. It was said that his master had long disappeared on the ancient road. Even he couldn't meet him."
Ye Fan was very concerned about Gautama Buddha. This was an ancient person with great wisdom and peerless power. He entered the starry sky but eventually disappeared without a trace.
Now, unexpectedly, there was a bit of news, which made him pay special attention. Even Golden Cicada had jumped out, making him feel uneasy.
"Gautama Buddha is following the ancient road. Just where is he going?" Ye Fan muttered to himself. His heart was in turmoil.
The Southern Demon said, "It's not limited to the Ancient Road of the Human Clan. Golden Cicada traveled across regions and appeared in the Star Paths of the Celestial Clan, the Human Clan, and the Demon Clan, searching for the whereabouts of his master."
Gautama Buddha had disappeared for a long time, and no one knew of his whereabouts. If Golden Cicada had not appeared, no one would have known that he had come.
There were many secrets regarding the Sakyamuni Buddha. He was a taboo in Western Desert Buddhism and was regarded as the demonic shell of the Amitabha Buddha. More than two thousand years ago, he fought on Mount Meru. At the Southern Demon's level, she would naturally understand a little.
"Brother Ye, are you willing to venture into the Demon Clan's Ancient Road with us?" Nan Yao asked.
Ye Fan shook his head. Even though the human race's ancient road was full of thorns and thorns and there might be great troubles ahead, he didn't want to leave.
The siblings of the Ji Clan and Pang Bo were ahead. He needed to meet them, especially to rescue Pang Bo from the Great Emperor's tomb as soon as possible.
"My words are still valid. In the future, if we meet on the Emperor's Path and you are defeated, I will let you go," the Southern Demon said. The starry river in his eyes shattered, and there was an aura of a monarch descending upon the world.
Ye Fan laughed and nodded. He said that if they really met, he wouldn't show any mercy, but he would spare his life in the end.
Qi Huoshui curled his lips in disdain and said, "Sigh, what two fools. What's there to fight about? In the end, they will still be defeated by time. They are all losers."
She was tall and slender, her legs long and slender. Her waist was slender, and her skin was as white as jade. Her hair was light and her eyes were like water. Her red lips were bright, and her pearly white teeth were sparkling. She could be considered a peerless beauty.
On the Ancient Road, there weren't many who could be as carefree as her. But those who stepped on this path were all filled with fighting spirit, striving for supremacy along the way.
When Ye Fan heard this, he sighed softly, feeling that what she said was somewhat reasonable. Fighting all the way might not be the result he wanted.
However, a hundred barges vying for the current, heroes competing with each other. If he didn't advance, he would fall behind. Now, he had no other choice. Immortality was too far away. Right now, he was rising up on the Ancient Road, strengthening himself and rushing towards the Emperor's Realm.
"I advise you to drink a cup of wine, for there will be no old friends on the Demon Road." Starlight flickered. Ye Fan stood outside the 50th city of the human race, raising his cup as he was sent off by the Southern Demon siblings.
"See you on the path to immortality!" The Southern Demon held a silver cup in his hand and drained it in one gulp. He brought his younger sister and soared through the air.
Only such a man would dare to say such words. To enter the Immortal Realm, this required a type of boldness. How many people under the heavens could contend against him?
Above the starry river, an ancient demon narrowed his eyes, shooting out strands of light. He looked down at the 50th city of the human race and transmitted his voice to Ye Fan, "Little friend, how about taking a trip to the Demon Road?"
"There will be clashes. The Demon Race should just wait for their daughters to be married off." An aged voice replied on behalf of Ye Fan. Starlight cascaded down like a silver waterfall, cutting off the path ahead.
"Heh!" The ancient demon turned around, bringing the Southern Demon siblings with him as they disappeared into the ice-cold cosmos.
Ye Fan returned to the city. On the ancient street paved with bluestone, many cultivators revealed strange expressions when they saw him. Ye Fan fought in all directions, slaughtering overlords until their blood flowed, intimidating all heroes into submission.
In the eyes of the saints, this might very well be the most powerful competitor on the Ancient Road of the human race. His rise was already unstoppable.
Ye Fan went to see the envoy Zhao Gongyi, solemnly asking for the Divine Light Platform. He didn't want to continue on like this. Time was pressing, he had to save Pang Bo.
"It's really not enough. There aren't many of these divine treasures." Zhao Gongyi rubbed his hands, looking troubled.
"Twenty years of intense battle with the Divine Spirit is the reward I deserve. Sir envoy, don't tell me you want to drag things out for four thousand years?" Ye Fan urged.
"Actually, letting you enter the depths of the starry sky too early isn't good for you and everyone else. You must be careful," Zhao Gongyi solemnly said.
"I only want to save a friend, I don't want to clash with others," Ye Fan replied.
"Oh, alright then." The envoy Zhao Gongyi nodded, finally agreeing to hand the Divine Light Platform to Ye Fan.
The starry river was resplendent. The 50th city of the human race floated in the cosmos, surrounded by silver waterfall-like radiance, looking sacred and auspicious.
The news that the Divine Physique was about to leave made all the cultivators heave a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
The impact of the battle in the starry sky was too great. Ye Fan was like a huge mountain pressing down on this city, causing those who walked on the ancient path to feel a sense of pressure.
Now, many people had already recognized the situation and had long given up on the emperor's path. All they wanted was to ascend to the next level and search for their own fortuitous encounters.
If they had to travel together with such a man who was like the sun in the sky, it would truly be unbearable. No one was willing to do so, it would be a form of torture.
"Uncle Master, are you really going to leave? Can you bring me along with you?" Under the starry sky, Yang Xi hugged onto Ye Fan's leg, refusing to let go. She raised her small face and blinked her big eyes as she spoke in a pitiful manner.
"Cultivate well here. In the future, we will meet again." Ye Fan squatted down and patted her head, revealing a doting expression.
"When will the future be? How far will it be?" The little child looked at him anxiously. Tears welled up in his eyes, filled with reluctance.
"It won't be very far. As long as you are strong enough, you can rely on your own strength to cross the starry sky and come find me at any time." Ye Fan consoled and pinched her little face.
"I will be very strong, just like Uncle Master. I will defeat the people of the Tyrant's Blood of the Firmament and suppress all my enemies." Yang Xi clenched her small fists and said seriously.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Quickly become stronger. Who knows, one day, I might really need you to fight shoulder to shoulder with me."
"Definitely!" Although the little child said this, he still cried when they parted. Moreover, he was very sad, constantly wiping away his tears and waving his hands at Ye Fan while crying.
"Let's go." Ye Fan stepped into the starry sky and left the 50th human city with the twelve saints.
They arrived in the starry sky and stopped in front of the formation left behind by the Ancient Heaven for several days. Ye Fan carefully studied it and in the end, he even dug out a few formations.
The divine light platform flickered and mottled patterns appeared on its surface. Strands of immortal splendor flowed out. Ye Fan and the others turned into a blazing light and disappeared from where they were. They reached the depths of the starry sky.
"Wu, the divine physique should be here. He's about to advance to the front of the ancient road. He should be here soon."
"That's right. I heard that he crossed the starry sky several days ago and should be here soon. Why haven't I seen him yet?"
"It's going to be lively now. If the young supreme beings ahead know that he's coming, do you guys think they will turn back and fight against him?"
During these days, the ancient road was full of noise. The divine physique was about to arrive. He would cross dozens of cities and arrive in advance. He became the focus of everyone's discussion.
There were many star fragments in the Star Ruins. It was like an abandoned ruin, a burial ground for stars.
The Star Ruins was just like its name. There were many floating continents. Most of them lacked vitality, which was quite unusual in the dark cosmos.
This was a boundlessly vast and mysterious ancient star region. Cultivators from all over the world had gathered and hurried over to this place during all these years.
There were ancient great emperors' mausoleums in the Star Ruins. There wasn't a single cultivator who didn't want to obtain the natural luck here. They came and went, and it was unknown just how many people's blood was spilled in outer space, their bones buried here.
Among them, there were a dozen or so continents that were the most famous. After all these years, young supreme beings came and went, knocking on the gate many times, wishing to open it. It was confirmed that there were great emperors' secrets inside.
The Palace Ruins City was the center of this star domain. It was between the dozen or so continents, and it wasn't that far from any of the ancient continents.
The starry sky was quiet, but this city was always bustling with noise and excitement. There was never a lack of experts here. After all these years, too many soul-stirring battles had happened.
That day, strands of blazing lightning appeared outside the city. The cosmos and starry sky were torn apart. A divine platform that released dazzling light flew out from the void.
On top of it, there was a man with a peaceful expression. Behind him was a group of saints. Some were ancient beasts, while others were foreign races. All of them were arrogant and untamed. They were incomparably powerful and surged with blood energy that overflowed into the heavens.
"We've arrived. This is the star domain. This should be the legendary Palace Ruins City." Ye Fan arrived. He was dressed in green clothes. He stepped on the starry splendor and looked at the ancient city floating in the cosmos.
"Yi, who is that person? He actually didn't come out from the altar's formation. He can cross the star domain on his own."
"This … could it be that the Saint Physique everyone is talking about has arrived? Looking at the time, he should have appeared! "
Two cultivators returned from outer space and were about to enter the ancient city. They just happened to see Ye Fan's group, and their eyes immediately widened.
They had a premonition that the Star Ruins was about to become lively. A controversial figure with extremely terrifying potential had appeared. There would most likely be great waves.
