The giant ape was very innocent. He had a sincere look on his face as he scratched his head and said, "Everyone in the world knows about this. What's wrong with that?"
This answer left everyone speechless. Could it be that the Nine-Layered Coffin and the Ancient Tree of Life were known to everyone during the Mythological Era? This caused them to be dumbfounded.
"Where is the Ancient Tree of Life?" Longma urged, wishing to immediately know the whereabouts of this ancient tree. There were just too many people that descended, the Great Sage, the various young supreme beings, which one of them was easy to deal with?
"It's not far from here. Go straight ahead, and you'll reach it in the backyard of the Gods." The Giant Ape replied.
"The backyard of the gods? What kind of place is that?" Pang Bo asked seriously.
"It can also be considered the residence of deities, can be considered a part of Immortal Domain. However, deities normally wouldn't descend, rarely going there." The giant ape pointed forward, telling everyone that they could reach that place from ten thousand li away.
This distance was really nothing to the crowd. Once one's cultivation reached the Saint Realm, they would be able to turn the horizon into a short distance. With a single step, the sun, moon, rivers, and mountains would all move together.
Immortal Domain, the rear courtyard of deities, a place they normally didn't reside in, yet there was an ancient life tree growing there … When all of this was linked together, for outsiders, it was enough to shock them.
Everyone revealed strange expressions. Before coming here, everyone thought that it would be extremely difficult, that the other side of the divine would definitely be full of danger, that they might have to fight bloody battles until corpses piled up into mountains.
Who would've thought that a mere giant ape would reveal everything they wanted to know so effortlessly?
Longma and the golden lion interrogated seriously. After understanding enough of the situation, they couldn't wait to immediately take action. They were only ten thousand li away, but they could hurry over immediately.
Ye Fan had a strange look on his face as he opened his Heaven Eye and stared at the giant ape. It was indeed a creature from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and not some living antique.
The mountains and rivers flew in reverse, and the great rivers went far away. The group of them tore through the sky like an extremely shocking rainbow, and in a short while, they arrived five thousand kilometers away.
When they arrived here, everyone's minds trembled. This place was extremely mysterious. Chaotic mists surged, separating everything in front of them, as if it was a world of its own.
It was clear that this place was extraordinary. As soon as they approached, their hearts jumped. The mountains and rivers in the mist were all engraved with great dao symbols, making one feel reverence.
"That giant ape didn't lie. It's actually true. This is definitely a secret place!" The twelve saints had experienced many storms and waves over the years, and could tell at a glance that this place had an extraordinary layout that was rarely seen in thousands of years.
The mountain peak was like a forest of divine statues that had existed since ancient times. The mountain range was like a horned dragon, traversing from east to west. The precipice was like a golden roc spreading its wings, soaring straight up into the sea of clouds. The hills were like the Black Tortoise lying dormant, stable and heavy.
"That's right. I've seen that giant ape's consciousness before, and it didn't lie," Longma said. Even though this was a little unreasonable, it was better to be careful since they had just arrived here.
"Is this really the backyard of the gods, a part of the immortal realms? This is simply too unbelievable. After arriving at the other side of the gods, does that mean that one is about to become an immortal?" Pang Bo was filled with bewilderment.
There was no doubt that there was something particular about this place. Just standing on the outside was enough to make one's mind tremble, and they wished they could go in and examine the mysteries of creation.
"Something's not right," Ye Fan said.
"What's wrong? Is this place dangerous?" Nine-Tailed Crocodragon asked.
"I can't tell at the moment." Ye Fan shook his head. In reality, this place was very much like an immortal's cave. It was truly too extraordinary. There were saints everywhere, and it was fascinating.
"What's wrong?" Green Luan asked.
"There's something wrong with that giant ape. Let's go, we'll go back and take a look." Ye Fan turned around and rushed ten thousand miles away.
Everyone looked at each other and followed. However, the land was boundless, and there were towering trees and ancient forests. There was no sign of that giant ape at all.
"This is the footprint he left behind. It ends here," Ye Fan said.
The giant ape that was three hundred meters tall left huge and very deep footprints on the ground. When it reached this place, it suddenly stopped, as if it had mysteriously disappeared.
"I've clearly searched his sea of consciousness. How could there still be a problem?" Longma was so angry that even the roots of his teeth were itching.
"Even my Sky Source Eye almost lost its effect. This giant ape is really something!" Ye Fan's eyes shot out cold lightning as he scanned the surroundings, searching for traces.
Finally, he picked up a glittering golden monkey hair from a bush in the distance. It was not very long, much shorter than the giant ape's hair from before. Moreover, it was exceedingly brilliant.
"A monkey hair? What's going on?" Pang Bo asked.
Ye Fan said in a deep voice, "That giant ape just now was transformed from a monkey hair. It almost fooled all of us. There was a divine ape that was proficient in the dao of transformation. Even if it wasn't unparalleled, it wouldn't be much."
"Why do I feel that it's a bit familiar?" Green Luan's eyes were sharp.
"Yes, it seems familiar." Sky Scorpio Saint nodded solemnly.
"It's him!" Pang Bo shuddered. In the depths of Ancient Celestial Being's life spring, there was an ancient cave residence. Inside, there was a Six-Eared Macaque that had passed away in a sitting posture. This kind of aura was similar, so it seemed to be him.
"It can't be. That old monkey's cultivation was great, but hundreds of thousands of years have passed. How could it have survived?" The Golden Lion grew suspicious.
"I know, it's that little one!" The Black Bear Saint gritted his teeth as endless resentment grew in his heart.
One of his patriarchs was a Great Saint, and his powers were unparalleled. He encountered a mighty Six-Eared Macaque moving house in the starry sky. He accidentally got in the way of the Divine Macaque, and was slapped into a pile of mush.
"At that time, there was also a little monkey sitting on that peerless expert's shoulder. I think … he might have survived!" The Black Bear Saint's expression was ugly.
Everyone was stunned. The Six-Eared Macaque had built his residence in Ancient Celestial Being's life spring. It could be said to be shocking, and there was no need to doubt his strength.
With his strength, it would not be a problem for him to find the Source of God and seal his descendants into this world.
The Ancient Celestial Being's Sea of Bitterness built a divine bridge that led to the other shore. It could be said that this place was very close. If the divine bridge appeared, he would only need to take one step to come over.
"Legend has it that the Six-Eared Macaque is one of the strongest bloodlines in the universe. It can perceive and understand all things. Especially, it can listen to the sounds of the world and learn all kinds of techniques. It is unpredictable, and no one can see through its transformation. " The Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon said solemnly. It then stopped talking and looked around as if it was afraid of being heard by the divine monkey.
"Everyone said that the Six-Eared Macaque is extinct, and the world lost one of the most terrifying physiques. Who would have thought that he still has another bloodline on the other side of the gods."
Everyone had a bad premonition. This monkey's abilities were heaven-defying, and if it targeted them, it would definitely be a bitter battle.
Just using a strand of monkey hair to transform, it almost deceived all of them. This kind of method was not something an ordinary expert could use.
Ye Fan's expression was calm as he said, "No matter. If it was truly unrivalled, it would have made its move against us a long time ago."
Although this was what they said, the twelve saints did not dare to let down their guard. This was because this bloodline was too powerful, and they had no choice but to be on guard. The Black Bear Saint, in particular, had an ashen expression. This was an enemy of his race.
Ye Fan and the others searched everywhere but to no avail. Since the Six-Eared Macaque's monkey hair was in this world, then its true body might be here as well. They might be able to encounter it in the future.
"Damned monkey, how ruthless. It wants to lure us in and destroy our bodies and souls." Longma clenched his teeth.
They found out from the mouths of other creatures that the mountains and rivers were indeed related to the ancient deities. However, it was definitely not some backyard, but a forbidden area that had existed since ancient times.
The current deities might not even be able to enter, and for others, there was no way they could leave. They would undoubtedly die, because that was a killing formation laid down by the ancient emperors. It was still there even now, and it hadn't been completely destroyed.
"Good monkey, we'll settle this debt with you in the future!" Pang Bo also spoke.
There was something extraordinary about the mountains. Every ten steps, a scenery, every five steps, a divine talisman, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth. However, the killing formation of the ancient emperors was arranged here, and even deities would die if they entered.
After making a detour around this ancient land, they entered the true boundless land where heroes fought for supremacy. They saw several enormous ancient cities in succession, and every single one of them was overseen by an unrivalled expert.
"Long life's hometown isn't called the Immortal Domain, but the Divine Domain. It is the dwelling place of the deities."
This was the true and accurate information they obtained after arriving in this world. That giant ape's words were wrong, but it wasn't all false either. It was enough to change the Immortal Domain to the Divine Domain.
"One of the human race's dao protectors died, and two of the other races' Great Sage died as well. What is going on?!" They obtained a shocking piece of news.
On top of a grand city wall, there was a notice that had three bloody heads hanging on it. They were sinners who tried to blaspheme the deities, and they were being suppressed as a warning to others.
It had only been a single night since they descended into this world, yet three Great Sage died. This left everyone shocked. Ye Fan and the others all shivered inwardly. This world was terrifying after all.
This was the fifth enormous city they passed by. The city walls were tall and large, as if they were cast from black molten iron. Dark light shone coldly, flickering with a cold metallic luster.
Three bloody heads were placed in bamboo cages and hung on the imposing city gates. It was a ghastly sight.
Ye Fan and the others entered the city and saw all kinds of races they had never heard of before. Some had bird bodies and wolf heads, some were just lumps of light without a fixed form, and some only had a large head without arms or a body.
The races came in all shapes and sizes, all different from one another. There were even quite a few magical artifacts. It was as if a divine blade was walking in the city. It had a pair of legs and hands, and its body was a blade. Meanwhile, there was another ancient pagoda swaying about, flying in the city.
Longma almost took action to loot these weapons. However, he was stopped by Ye Fan, who strictly warned him not to act recklessly.
These were all the races of this world, and quite a few of them were cultivated by the different races. The holy weapons were intelligent, and they became different races. It was legal here, and they could move about freely without anyone interfering.
It was rumored that quite a few of them came out from the caves of famous mountains and great rivers.
"So strange, just what kind of place is this?" The twelve saints were bewildered.
Fortunately, they also saw quite a few humanoid creatures. Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others couldn't be considered different races, so they didn't attract too much attention. Some of these humanoid creatures were humans, while others were transformed from other terrifying creatures. All of them were very strong.
"These enormous cities have existed since ancient times, and it is said that they are all protecting the dwelling places of the gods." They investigated this information.
Behind the majestic city was close to the divine domain. The human dao protector and the two foreign races' Great Sage were all killed while exploring the divine domain. That was why their heads were hung on the city walls as a warning.
"Great Sage, he was killed just like that. Could it be a true god?!" These news made them feel very uneasy.
Ye Fan and the others passed through the city and didn't act blindly without thinking. They asked around and found out that there were a total of eight similar giant cities around the so-called divine domain, guarding eight directions.
They asked many creatures, but they still couldn't figure out what the so-called gods were because no one could really explain it clearly.
The divine domain wasn't shaken. They took the risk to inquire about the Nine-Layered Coffin from the Legendary Era, which once again proved that some of the giant ape's words were indeed known by most people. However, it wasn't in the immortal domain, but in a dangerous land.
They crossed heaven and earth, and they didn't know how many millions of li they had crossed. They arrived at an ancient land that had existed since the Legendary Era and gazed into the depths.
"It's just a stone coffin, but it's actually lying in the depths of this dangerous land. Is this a great omen?"
Everyone stood in the sky and gazed into the distant dangerous land. Miasma pervaded the air, and the ancient forest was extremely quiet. It was deathly silent.
In the midst of a huge mountain, there was an incomparably tall stone coffin. It was like a stone mountain lying across the land, emitting a simple and ancient aura.
This was a coffin that descended from the outer realms. For decades, no one dared to enter because there were too many terrifying legends left behind in this dangerous land. Approaching it would mean certain death.
"This … is really the ancient coffin of the Void Emperor, but how did it become so huge?" Ye Fan was bewildered.
