Ye Fan could only sigh since he couldn't obtain the ancient scriptures. If the scriptures left behind by the Great Emperors were passed down, it would be enough to develop a holy land.
This wasn't an exaggeration. It was true. The foundation of the Great Sage's sects was a secret scripture they each controlled. This was the power of the supreme ancient scriptures.
Suddenly, Ye Fan found a few lines of words on a stone wall not far away. Upon closer inspection, it was actually left by Jiang Taixu. Even the powerful Eastern Barren Divine King couldn't see the ancient scriptures.
"Great Emperor Wu Shi's achievements surpass the ancients and dazzle the contemporaries. It's a pity that I can't see the scriptures …"
According to Divine King Jiang, the stone scripture was personally sealed by Great Emperor Wu Shi. It couldn't be opened at all unless the Great Emperor revived or came with his token.
In addition, he speculated that this scripture contained the power of the Great Path and was left here to suppress it. This was a door. If he walked further in, he would reach the origin of the Purple Mountain.
After reading it, Ye Fan's heart felt cold. The supreme scripture was placed in front of him, but he could only stare at it. He couldn't open it at all.
"I want to see …" he muttered unwillingly.
Ye Fan walked around the stone scripture and saw a few more lines of ancient words. It should be from even longer ago.
"At the end of the Celestial Path, Wu Shi's Dao becomes empty …" The name signed was Gu Tianshu. He'd also been here before.
Ye Fan naturally wouldn't forget this person. He was an ancient person from 70,000 years ago and was even more powerful than Jiang Taixu. A total of 37 people entered the Demon Mountain. In terms of strength, he was ranked first.
70,000 years ago, Gu Tianshu shocked the world but couldn't break the seal of Great Emperor Wu Shi. From his words, it could be seen that he greatly admired Great Emperor Wu Shi.
If one thought about it carefully, this was indeed the case. Since ancient times, there were only a few Great Emperors in the Eastern Barren Territory. They represented the strongest "monuments" in the world.
At the end of the Celestial Path, Wu Shi's Dao becomes empty … Ye Fan was overwhelmed with emotions. Was that Great Emperor really so powerful?
Just a dozen or so words were enough to describe his unparalleled achievements throughout the ages. Not being born in the same era made one feel regretful. Not being able to meet him made one sigh.
Ye Fan carefully searched around the stone scripture, but in the end, he couldn't find anything.
When he stopped and helplessly sat on the ground, he suddenly discovered that this place was very strange. It was shaped like a sacrificial altar, and stone scriptures were displayed on it.
It was a very wide platform, and there were huge patterns engraved on it. If one didn't look closely, it looked like a natural ravine.
Ye Fan stood up again. After confirming the center of the altar, he walked forward. At this time, the jade pendant on his body shone even brighter.
"Something's wrong. I wonder if it's good or bad …"
When he arrived at the center, he felt even more strange. The patterns here were much more concentrated, and they seemed to be Dao patterns.
This kind of technique was very different from the current one. It was closer to nature. The patterns were formed from wind, rain, thunder, lightning, birds, beasts, flowers, and insects.
Ye Fan found a groove in the center that was as big as a human head.
"Buzz!"
The ancient jade in his hand trembled slightly as if it had a life of its own. It was dazzling.
"Could this ancient jade be filled in here …" He was puzzled. He compared the jade pendant and found that it matched the corner of the groove.
"What will happen if I put the jade in?" He was bewildered and didn't do it immediately.
"Could it be opening some seal? Could it be that the" Wu Shi Scripture "can be opened?" With this thought, he couldn't calm down.
Of course, he also thought of the worst. It might also be related to the ancient creatures, or even the existence in the peerless divine source.
"Unfortunately, the ancient jade is incomplete. It most likely can't be used." Ye Fan didn't dare to act rashly.
He was thinking about how to leave. Perhaps he could only wait a few years until all the ancient creatures that had been born had decayed. Then he could leave.
That was because according to the information he had obtained, once the ancient creatures broke through the source, it would be difficult for them to live long. They would turn into dust in a few years, or even decades.
"I'm not Divine King Jiang. I can only hold on for a few years at most …"
Suddenly, Ye Fan's hair stood on end. He felt that something was staring at him.
This made him feel that something was wrong. If the ancient creatures chased him here, he would be doomed. Could it be that they weren't even afraid of the "Wu Shi Scripture" that contained the Great Emperor's Dao Source?
Ye Fan quickly retreated, arriving in front of the stone scripture. He looked around, but he didn't find anything, he didn't see anything.
"Was it an illusion?" He was a bit suspicious. Maybe he was hallucinating because he had been too tense these days.
No matter what, he didn't dare to move. He meditated in front of the stone scripture and began to cultivate. He said to himself, "Endure for a few years and give me back my freedom."
After only half a day, Ye Fan felt that something was wrong. There must be something here. He felt that it wasn't far away, and it didn't seem to be afraid of the stone scripture at all.
"It's wandering around …"
After making such a judgment, Ye Fan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up.
In the distance, indistinct roars could be heard. Those ancient creatures seemed to be crossing the ancient mine. They wanted to bypass the hall formed by the extreme weapons and advance here.
At the same time, the creature in the dark used its divine sense to spy on him. He could clearly feel it.
"I can't stay here anymore …" He decided to return to the bell hall.
Before leaving, he glanced at the groove in the center of the altar. When he approached it, he gritted his teeth and pressed the ancient jade down.
"The things left by the Great Emperor won't harm the descendants."
Suddenly, the moment the ancient jade sank in, the place became dazzling. Light shot into the sky, and a huge light curtain enveloped him.
He had already taken out the cauldron and was immediately sucked in to protect him.
Ye Fan was shocked. He didn't know what kind of shocking change would happen after the jade sank into the groove.
He didn't have time to think too much. The light curtain quickly tore open the void, and everything became blurry.
"It's crossing the void. Where is it going?!" The ancient jade was incomplete. Opening the void like this could easily cause trouble.
However, there was no turning back. It was dark and silent around him. He couldn't see anything. He had already entered the void.
A beam of light shot over, and the ancient jade also flew in. Ye Fan hurriedly used the cauldron to take it in and hold it in his hand.
The jade was incomplete, and it couldn't reach the destination that Great Emperor Wu Shi had planned. He was worried. The only thing that made him happy was that he didn't have to worry about being crushed by hiding in the Myriad Qi Cauldron.
"Swoosh!"
Not long after, the void was torn open again. Boundless darkness appeared in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
"Splash!"
He fell into the water. The cold water flowed into him through the cauldron.
"Where is this?" Ye Fan got out of the cauldron. The cold current surged around him, and the river water flowed rapidly.
"Is this underground?" He punched upwards, and there was a rumbling sound.
He flowed with the current. It was pitch-black around him, and all around him were stone walls. Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared in front of him, and the underground river rushed straight down to the ground.
Ye Fan rushed out of the water and smashed with all his might. He even took out the Golden Book and slashed repeatedly, forcibly opening up a path to the surface.
It was hard to imagine how deep he had gone. He had dug hundreds of meters, and he still hadn't reached the surface.
Then, he dug up more than a thousand meters, and finally felt the flowing air. He rushed out of the underground, but it was still boundless darkness.
"This is …" He found it somewhat familiar. This was an enormous ancient mine, as if there was no end to it.
"Dragon's vein, I'm out!" Ye Fan screamed. He really couldn't believe that he had actually come out of the Purple Mountain.
This was the path that he had chosen — the ancient mine under the dragon's vein. He even saw the carvings on the walls of the mine.
"Yes, I'm really out!" He rushed forward, stroking the ancient carvings. It was the scene where the Great Emperor suppressed the Peerless Divine Source.
He couldn't hide his excitement. He thought that he would be trapped inside like Jiang Taixu, but he didn't expect to get out so quickly.
When he chose to enter the Purple Mountain, he knew that the Great Emperor's jade pendant would most likely come in handy, but he didn't expect that it would be so important that he could cross the void at the critical moment.
"What's that?!" Suddenly, Ye Fan's heart trembled. It seemed that something in the ancient mine was peeping at him.
"Is it a demon bat? It doesn't look like it. They can't avoid my divine thoughts …" This gave him a bad feeling.
Ye Fan didn't stop. He turned into a flash of lightning and rushed forward as if he was flying. He had already bowed 99 times. If he was killed by this last shiver, it would be too much of a waste.
It didn't take long for him to reach the end of the big mine. He flew up and rose thousands of meters. There was light above, and fresh air blew in his face.
Before long, he finally came to the ground.
Ye Fan had been trapped in the Purple Mountain for more than a month. At this moment, he stood on the reddish-brown ground, feeling the warmth of the noon sun. He felt like he had been reborn, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
It wasn't until a long time later that he left the dragon vein and walked into the distance.
He had gained a lot from this trip to the Purple Mountain, but at the same time, he had some regrets.
It was a pity that the Divine King of a generation, who had endured for 4,000 years, would eventually turn into dust.
Jiang Taixu had taught him the supreme secret method, which made him feel grateful. He felt that the old Divine King was a little pitiful.
"If I'm strong enough, I'll go in again. Even if I can't save your life, I'll bury your bones and worship you."
The Nine Secrets represented the supreme, and nothing could compare to it. Its value was immeasurable! It was the strongest secret method of the nine domains.
The Divine King had taught him the method, which was a great favor.
Finally, he thought of the "Wu Shi Scripture." It was really his biggest regret that he couldn't bring it out.
"At the end of the Immortal Path, who is the peak? At the sight of Wu Shi, the Dao becomes empty."
This kind of evaluation was enough to show that it was an achievement that could look down on both ancient and modern times. This kind of ancient scripture was incomparably attractive to Ye Fan.
He seriously lacked the following cultivation methods. The "Wu Shi Scripture" was not passed down to the world, and it was the most suitable for him. It wouldn't cause disputes or attract attention.
Even someone as powerful as Gu Tianshu left such a message, which made his heart surge!
Ye Fan felt that in the future, it was necessary to collect ancient jade in the northern region. Perhaps he could collect all of the imperial jade. If that was the case, one day, if he entered the Purple Mountain again, he might be able to open the "Wu Shi Scripture."
"The" Wu Shi Scripture "has been lying there for more than a hundred thousand years. In any case, it won't be lost. Sooner or later, I'll have a look at its secrets."
Ye Fan walked for dozens of li, but he always felt as if something was following him. However, every time he turned around, he couldn't see anything. This made him a little puzzled.
"There must be some kind of creature following me. This feeling … is very special!" Ye Fan was suspicious. It didn't seem like an evil thought, and he didn't feel any killing intent.
He pondered for a while and thought of the feeling of being spied on by an unknown creature in front of the "Wu Shi Scripture". The two were somewhat similar.
He shuddered and said, "It can't be. Could it be that there's a creature from the Purple Mountain that came out with me?!"
However, when he was crossing the void, he didn't discover it. He said to himself, "Maybe I'm overthinking …"
