The life spring gurgled and the liquid was sparkling and translucent. Dense mist rose and immortal clouds overflowed. This was a place connected to the dao and could allow people to comprehend the dao.
The surface of the sea was calm and peaceful, but the undercurrent was surging below. Ye Fan was drawing on the strands of murderous intent in the life spring in an attempt to refine the Bodhi seed.
The seed had already sprouted and was about an inch tall. It was bright green and fresh like the clouds, but it was overflowing with an ocean-like life essence. It was obviously only an inch tall, but it was so vast and profound that it made people gasp in admiration. The immortal medicine could not be measured with common sense.
"This won't do, I have to hurry!" Ye Fan's expression changed. He discovered a terrifying fact. The extremely weak and indistinct will in the Bodhi seed was actually growing stronger as the seed sprouted.
This was a terrifying sign. If the seed turned into a real Bodhi tree, wouldn't that mean that the will inside would truly grow stronger?!
It was suspected to be the will of Shakyamuni or Amitabha. If it really grew stronger, it would be a disaster for Ye Fan.
This was a will of Nirvana!
First, Ye Fan isolated himself from the surroundings to prevent the essence from being absorbed by the seed to prevent it from quickly growing stronger.
He then quickly refined the life spring, but he did not absorb the essence within. Instead, he extracted strands of black mist, which was the aura of the four killing swords.
The black mist contained a peerless murderous intent. Even though it was only the weakest strands, it was still very terrifying.
Ye Fan circulated the Army Formula and used the Bodhi seed as a piece of divine metal to forge and smelt. He used the murderous intent of the four swords as the fire to temper and sharpen it.
This was very effective. The will inside the seed seemed to have sensed danger and immediately became more clear-headed. It actually emitted the aura of the great dao, causing people to shiver in fear.
"This … is too heaven-defying!" Longma and the others were shocked.
This will was almost indescribably weak, but it was actually able to emit such terrifying dao marks. If the master's true body descended, who in this world could stop him?
"Come and help me!" Ye Fan spoke.
Without him saying anything, Pang Bo and the twelve saints had already sat down cross-legged to refine the crystal-like life spring. They extracted strands of black mist that were filled with bone-piercing killing intent.
Ye Fan carefully guided it. Even the weakest sword qi could not be underestimated, or else it might cause a great disaster, because it was emitted by an Emperor weapon.
"The Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords are too strong. The killing intent they emit is just right to obliterate this vague will of unknown origin." Pang Bo could not forget the four swords, but he did not dare to remove them.
He had already recognized the reality. In this world, there was really no one who could shake the four killing swords. If he went up, he would die without a doubt. Only by obtaining the diagram could he gain the approval of the four swords.
This continued for half a month. Although some of the vague will had been worn away, it was still there. In fact, it was even being nourished by the bodhi and was recovering.
Everyone felt as if their heads were about to explode. It was clearly extremely weak, not even as strong as an ant's willpower, yet they just couldn't get rid of it. This left everyone deeply horrified.
More than once, they wondered how powerful the owner of this will would be if he appeared in person. Could he really be a Great Emperor?!
"This won't do. We have to use the four killing swords," said Ye Fan.
Of course, he wasn't rashly provoking the immortal swords. After all, those were terrifying killing weapons that could hack the Smelting God Pot into the depths of the cosmos. They could easily hack down the sun, moon, and stars. It was too dangerous.
Ye Fan held the ghost lantern in his hand and slowly approached the killing swords. He could clearly see the scene of slaughtering immortals on the dark red swords. There was also the diagram of ten thousand corpses crouching on the back of the swords. It made people feel a chill down to their bones.
The further they went, the stronger the killing intent became. The black mist they extracted gradually became stronger to obliterate the vague will.
In the end, they were completely horrified because the four killing swords released a strand of weak sword qi that reached the bodhi seed. There was a kind of heaven and earth collapsing, and an aura of the universe about to be destroyed rushing over.
However, such a terrifying killing intent was actually absorbed by the bodhi seed. To be more precise, it was resisted by that weak will. This didn't make sense at all.
"There is definitely something wrong with this seed, and it is a huge problem!" Pang Bo felt a chill run down his back.
The four swords were filled with killing intent. Although it was only a weak strand that flowed over, it didn't immediately destroy the will. This already explained the problem.
This kind of will accompanied them all year round, and it was definitely a great threat. It was impossible to get rid of it with the power of a saint king. This was even more serious than they had imagined.
"Again!"
Ye Fan moved forward and guided the sword qi over. The four dark red killing swords seemed to be coming back to life. He could hear the cries of all living beings and the howls of gods and devils. The bloody scene of slaughtering immortals seemed to have reappeared!
"The four immortal slaying swords are too terrifying. They haven't come back to life and are just sinking there, yet there is such a terrifying scene." Pang Bo sighed and wanted nothing more than to take them into his hands.
Weng!
A sound came from within the bodhi seed. Then, buddhist chants shook the air as if there was a dignified ancient buddha chanting sutras. Boundless dao waves spread out.
It was clear that this stimulated a strand of killing intent from the four swords. The black sword qi that rushed over became a bit thicker, making Longma and the others tremble with fear. A single mishap and their bodies would most likely be wiped out.
Ye Fan produced the damaged green cauldron and had everyone hide inside, including himself. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.
A grand and imposing ancient building appeared. The Great Thunderclap Temple was so real, and an ancient Xumi Mountain appeared, suppressing the endless blue skies. Buddhist chants shook the nine heavens and ten earths.
"This … is clearly the weakest strand of indistinct will. How can it be so powerful?!" The golden lion thought of his ancestor's past and felt uneasy.
Qiang!
One of the killing swords released a light cry. A strand of weak multicolored light flew out. That was an unmatched killing force that could cut down the geniuses of the past.
This vibrating sound resounded through the heavens, making the great universe seem to tremble. It entered the seed and collided with that indistinct will.
A light sound rang through the air. A strand of multicolored mist was destroyed, and the indistinct will vanished like smoke in thin air. It was cut down by a dark red killing sword, becoming a thing of the past.
Ye Fan released a breath of relief. He quickly retreated with the ghost lantern in hand. This type of killing intent was too terrifying. Even though he was hiding in the green cauldron, he still felt as if his bones were splitting apart. Even his primordial spirit was about to be killed.
One has to understand that the four killing swords weren't targeting them, but this type of aura was unbearable.
Pang Bo sighed and said, "The Immortal Execution Four Swords are most likely the most powerful killing weapons since ancient times. The bloody Immortal Execution Diagram on the swords shouldn't be real, right?!"
The moment the strand of will in the bodhi seed was erased, in a great wasteland in Amitabha Star Domain, within an ancient temple submerged in weeds, a stone statue's forehead cracked open with a kacha sound.
Meanwhile, on the stone statue's shoulder was a golden vicious bird. It suddenly opened its eyes, the golden pupils even more resplendent than lightning. It actually directly tore apart tens of thousands of li of mountains and rivers!
Upon closer inspection, this was a Golden-Winged Ancient Sky Peng, but it was only a foot long. It stood on the stone statue's shoulder, glistening and dazzling. It possessed a great aura that could pounce on the sun and moon.
Time slipped by, and three years passed in a hurry. During this period of time, the sea of bitterness became more and more terrifying, drawing over countless experts.
There were several hundred races and several tens of thousands of cultivators. Of course, this was only those who had the qualifications to enter the sea. As for the black shore, there were even more.
Among them, there were more Great Sage and young supreme beings than before. This was because people from a vaster star domain had arrived to seize the ancient tree of life and seize the emperor weapon. Experts entered the ancient region of legends in batches.
Bloodshed was unavoidable, and it was many times more miserable than before. Fighting over the ancient ship and plundering the secret treasures of various races happened every day. Dark and tragic things played out from time to time.
During this period of time, the Gray Flood Dragon Great Sage, Golden Toad, Heavenly Dog, and the others all had their eyes gouged out. When they were dealing with a younger generation member, they encountered several Great Sages from that ancient region and were chased down viciously. They were chased down continuously for three years, and blood flowed along the way.
During these three years, the Ancient Celestial Being's life spring was extremely peaceful. Spiritual essence whirlpools continuously appeared. Those were two stalks of divine medicine growing.
The Qilin divine medicine surged with purple energy. Its roots were powerful, stabbing into the void and absorbing the essence of the life spring. It produced nine leaves, and every single one of them was sparkling and translucent like a purple Qilin.
It grew to a foot tall in two years, and after that, its height never changed again. Only, the spiritual essence it possessed became more and more exuberant, as if a purple divine sea was rising and falling.
For an undying medicine to mature, it needed at least several thousand years of time. After the Qilin medicine sprouted out its leaves and branches, it developed an embryonic form, no longer growing crazily.
Even if this place was the life spring of the Ancient Celestial Being, it still wouldn't do. It provided the most important growth conditions for the divine medicine, but it still couldn't mature in just a few years.
Even if it could be shortened by a bit, it couldn't be too exaggerated. According to their speculations, the most conservative estimate was still several hundred years, and the premise was that these conditions didn't change.
The green leaves swayed and rustled. Green light flickered, and strands of great dao energy descended. The Bodhi tree looked like it was carved out of a piece of jade. Its entire body was green and brilliant.
It was a tree that was rumored to reach into the clouds. Right now, it was only in its infancy, and its height was exactly six zhang. This was a subtle number.
Ye Fan sat under the tree without moving for three whole years. He was comprehending the dao and creating his own method. He wanted to walk a different path.
Under the Bodhi tree, a male had his eyes closed. He was as still as a boulder, and there was a special aura around him. Strands of great dao opportunities seeped out from his body and spread into the distance.
The twelve saints were also cultivating under the Bodhi tree, but they didn't stay motionless for three years like him. Everyone had great gains, and this was a pure land for comprehending the dao.
Finally, Ye Fan moved, and the sonorous voice of the great dao rang out from his body. The scriptures rang out on their own, ringing under the Bodhi tree. There was a kind of auspicious scene of attaining the dao, and all kinds of dao light danced about.
Ye Fan's Lun Sea was emitting immortal splendor, and it extended outwards like a great bell ringing. This was him expanding the dao, and he was stepping on his own path.
Pang Bo, Longma, Scorpio, and the others were shocked. The immortal splendor rose and spread outwards, but it didn't trigger the secret realm of the dao palace, and instead extended towards his limbs.
The moment Ye Fan opened his eyes, two golden bolts of lightning tore through the void. His secret realm of the sea of reincarnation turned into a Taiji immortal diagram, and it shone brilliantly like a sun.
This was the beginning of all things in the human body, and now, streaks of radiance extended towards his limbs. This place was the source of divine force.
Ancient characters appeared one after another on Ye Fan's limbs, and every single one of them seemed to have come from ancient time and space, engraving themselves on the four extremities of the human body. The sounds of scriptures rang out incessantly.
At first, the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise appeared, corresponding to the four extremities of the human body. They were refined together, and there was a world-shaking destructive power that was boundlessly terrifying.
All types of primal chaos lightning danced about, turning into ancient symbols and engraving themselves on his limbs. His entire being was like a demonic god, his body sparkling and shining, and his thick black hair fluttered about crazily.
Then, everything became still. The wildness disappeared, and the sharp divine radiance in his eyes was restrained. Great dao scriptures appeared, engraving themselves on the four extremities of his body. They were densely packed, and then they became one. There was an aura of the greatest simplicity of the great dao pervading the air.
Hong!
In the next moment, another change took place. Earth, fire, wind, and water corresponded to the four extremities of the human body. Thunder shook the world, and endless primal chaos appeared. This place was like a primitive ancient world.
Ye Fan's limbs shook, and wind and thunder stirred about. Scriptures rang out, and the divine sound of the great dao rang out incessantly. His four limbs moved at the same time, as if he was splitting the heavens and earth apart, about to support this ancient world.
Earth, fire, wind, and water swirled about, overlapping with the four extremities of the human body. Primal chaos mist became hazy. He supported this world, and it was as if he was opening up a new world.
"This is his scripture. He didn't enter the dao palace, but cultivated the four extremities first. He hasn't even reached perfection, yet he has already developed this type of profound meaning. Formidable!" The twelve saints all sighed in shock.
