The group of people flew at a low altitude, advancing into the depths of this great earth.
After traveling for less than a hundred li, they saw a few stone pillars one after another, some of them incomparably thick. It was unknown just how many years had passed, but they still towered over the great earth.
From time to time, they would also see some vast foundations. Every single one of those stones was several meters in length, the foundations thick and wide, extremely astonishing.
"What kind of historical remains are these? If they are buildings, then isn't this a bit too grand? Is this the residence of giants?" Someone said in shock.
"Look, there are some diagrams on this stone pillar, some strange creatures carved on them. They are truly sinister, even uglier than ghosts."
"Why are you speaking nonsense again?!" Old Sabre Honcho became anxious, glaring at that youngster.
"Even this is a taboo?!" That youngster was also a bit angry.
"You have to know what kind of place you've arrived at, Origin Ancient Mine is even more inconceivable than you can imagine!" Old Sabre Honcho angrily berated, saying, "Five years ago, I personally saw thirty or so cultivators die a violent death in front of these historical remains, their blood dyeing Origin Ancient Mine red."
"What happened?" The others were alarmed.
"I don't know either, I only saw from the distance that those people were evaporated, blood rushing into the sky, their bodies turning into ashes." Old Sabre Honcho seemed to still have lingering fears.
"Let's go, let's continue forward." The others were a bit uncomfortable.
Old Sabre Honcho released a heavy cold snort, distancing himself from that youngster as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, not walking together with him.
When Ye Fan saw this, he followed behind Old Sabre Honcho, also leaving that fella. It was better to believe it than not.
Everyone advanced several hundred li, already less than a hundred li from the so-called border. Old Sabre Honcho slowed down, saying, "I suggest you all better not advance any further, just fly high up into the sky, use your divine abilities, and then take a good look."
"Isn't there still more than a hundred li? It's still within a safe range, why aren't we advancing any further?"
"Old sir, let's go another few dozen li, we can't see anything from here."
"Alright." Old Sabre Honcho replied.
After advancing another fifty li, approaching the border of Origin Ancient Mine, he wasn't willing to continue no matter what.
"Walking another few dozen li isn't a problem, I still want to dig up a few stones at the border of Origin Ancient Mine. Who knows, my luck might be good, and I might even obtain a great harvest."
"What did you say?!" Old Sabre Honcho's eyes were wide open, and his hair and beard were standing on end. He looked like a lion.
"After coming here, don't tell me you all don't want to bring back a few pieces of stone materials? If you can cut them out, wouldn't you all be able to obtain endless benefits?" That youngster said.
"You …" Old Sabre Honcho did not say anything, he turned around and walked away.
"Sir, don't go. We still need you to lead the way," the others urged.
"He will kill everyone." Old Sabre Honcho's complexion was extremely gloomy.
"I'm just telling the truth, Old Sabre Honcho, you're being too cautious." The young man had been suppressing his anger, and at this moment, he could not hold it in any longer.
Unbeknownst to him, a gale had already begun to blow. Sand and dust filled the air, and the sound of the wind could be heard from afar.
"Why is the wind blowing? The sun was shining brightly just now."
"So what if it's just a bit of wind? We are all cultivators. Why would we care about a gust of wind?"
"Can you shut up?!" Old Sabre Honcho glowered at the young man, with a dignified expression he looked straight ahead.
The red sand filled the air like a faint layer of blood mist. It approached from afar and enveloped everyone.
"Wu wu …"
The sound of the wind was frightening, as if a malicious spirit was crying. The sand filled the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
"Black whirlwind!" Old Sabre Honcho's complexion changed miserably.
In the distant sky, a large number of shadows were approaching at lightning speed, forming a whirlpool. It was as if a dark cloud was pressing down from all directions.
The red sand was covered by the black whirlwind, dyed black, and shadows were everywhere.
"What kind of ghost wind is this? Why is it coming from all directions?" Everyone was shocked, all of them were restless.
"Wu wu …"
The black whirlwind rolled the sand all over the sky. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of them. The ground was pitch-black. The whirlwind had color, and it created a big whirlpool.
"Ah …"
A blood-curdling scream was heard. The body of the young man who always opposed Old Sabre Honcho seemed to be cut open by a sharp blade, leaving a big pool of blood on the ground. His whole body was crushed in the black whirlwind.
Ye Fan's eyes immediately stood up. He sensed a terrifying aura from those black whirlwinds. He used his divine sense to observe, but he did not see anything.
The center of each black whirlwind was pitch-black, as if it could swallow everything.
"Ah …"
Another person was crushed by the black whirlwind, and he only had time to let out a blood-curdling scream.
Even now, Ye Fan was a little scared. He did not expect that coming to the Absolute Beginning Forbidden Area would be so dangerous, and he could easily lose his life.
At this moment, saving his life was the most important. He took out the cauldron made of Myriad Origin Energy and hid inside. Then, he used the Li Fire Divine Cauldron to collect the cauldron.
"Dang dang dang …"
The black whirlwind blew over like a sharp sword slashing down on the Li Fire Divine Cauldron, emitting a sky-shaking sound.
An incomparably dazzling radiance was emitted. The copper cauldron was sparkling and translucent, and the sun engraved on it shone with vigorous vitality and brilliance.
Phoenix cries shook the sky. Several indistinct divine birds danced around the cauldron. Raging flames surged, igniting a monstrous fire.
The black whirlwind whistled as it swept past. Several more people were crushed, turning into wisps of mist.
"Dang, dang …"
A sky-shaking sound rang out. Ye Fan felt as if a huge palm was violently slapping the copper cauldron, making him feel a terrifying power inside the cauldron.
"Is this really a black whirlwind? How can it have such power?"
He was bewildered, but he did not dare to take the risk. He could only hide inside and let the ear-splitting sound outside.
In a trance, Ye Fan seemed to hear heavy breathing, as well as the sound of a huge body stepping forward. The earth seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Is it a black whirlwind or some kind of creature?"
After an unknown period of time, the wind outside stopped. The world calmed down, and no special sounds could be heard.
Ye Fan put away the cauldron made of Myriad Origin Energy. He did not want others to see it, or it would cause great trouble.
Then, he flew out of the Li Fire Divine Cauldron and landed on the ground.
What surprised him was that the copper cauldron was not damaged. Although it was full of holes, it was slowly recovering, as if it would be restored soon.
"This weapon is strange …"
Ye Fan knew that this was definitely not the real Divine Sun Cauldron. An extreme dao weapon could even kill almighty beings. It was countless times more terrifying than this, and it was impossible for it to be dented.
Swoosh!
With a flash of light, the Li Fire Divine Cauldron recovered. It possessed an indestructible ability, which made him deeply shocked.
How could a normal weapon have such a miraculous performance? It was difficult for him to determine what level this copper cauldron was.
The copper cauldron turned into an inch tall and looked like a multicolored crystal. It appeared in his palm. Ye Fan did not put it away and held it in his palm to defend himself, ready to use it at any time.
The scenery before his eyes changed greatly. He did not know where the black wind had blown him to. Rocks were strewn everywhere, and red sand was everywhere.
Not far away, there was a figure standing. Old Sabre Honcho silently held a tobacco pipe in his mouth, his brows deeply furrowed.
In addition, there were seven people unconscious on the ground. They were not killed by the black whirlwind.
"What is going on? Where are we?" Ye Fan asked.
Looking into the distance, the surroundings were spacious and extremely quiet. This was a great blood-colored plain dotted with a few large rocks.
"I'm afraid we have entered the Origin Ancient Mine." Old Sabre Honcho heavily spat out a mouthful of smoke.
"Impossible!" Ye Fan was shocked.
"Don't worry, we did not fall into that divine mine." Old Sabre Honcho's wrinkled face squeezed together. He paced back and forth a few steps and said, "Everyone says that the restricted area of Origin Ancient Mine is several hundred li in circumference, some say several thousand li. Most of us are in the restricted area."
"How could it be like this …" Ye Fan frowned.
The seven people who had fainted on the ground woke up. Their faces were deathly pale, all of them filled with endless fear.
"Even the Great Sage can only return to the red earth after entering, won't we die here?!" The faces of the people who had just woken up were full of despair.
"They walked towards the Origin Ancient Mine, naturally they won't be able to return. Like I said, this region is extremely large. We did not enter the central region, perhaps there is still a chance of survival. "Old Sabre Honcho gazed at the distant horizon.
"Really?"
"The chances are a bit slim, but there is still some hope. Similar things have happened before, some people have walked out alive."
"What is that black whirlwind?" Ye Fan asked.
"I don't know either." Old Sabre Honcho shook his head and said, "In this restricted region, there will often be some special winds, the black whirlwind can already be considered the mildest."
The nine of them continued on their way. Old Sabre Honcho determined a direction based on his intuition, and then took the lead to walk forward.
"Sir, you have to remember the right path, or else we might directly walk into Origin Ancient Mine …" A survivor said while trembling with fear.
Old Sabre Honcho didn't say anything, directly leading the way.
Even though they weren't truly standing in front of Origin Ancient Mine, they still didn't dare fly. There were all types of legends regarding Origin Ancient Mine, it was said that even birds couldn't cross, but those who leapt into the air would definitely be wiped out.
After walking for more than ten li, an enormous ravine stretched horizontally in front of them, extending for several li.
Ye Fan frowned, carefully observing it, a chill running down his spine.
He never expected to really see this type of landscape, it was completely the same as what was recorded in the [Heavenly Origin Book].
"Don't go down!" He saw a cultivator try to look into the ravine, wishing to stop him, but it was already too late.
That cultivator standing at the edge of the ravine, in just a split second, all of the blood in his body evaporated, turning into a streak of scarlet light, entering the ravine, his body disintegrated into scattered ashes.
"How could it be like this?!" The others turned pale with fright, all of them backing up, their faces completely pale.
That person only took a few more steps than them, yet he immediately turned into ashes. Seeing this with their own eyes made their scalps go numb.
Even Old Sabre Honcho's expression changed. He sensed danger ahead of time, but he never expected it to be this terrifying. This was simply a demonic land.
Chills continuously ran down Ye Fan's back. This restricted region was too terrifying, completely exceeding his imagination.
They were far from that divine mine, not even entering the central region, yet they already saw this type of legendary landscape, making him couldn't help but break out in goosebumps.
This huge ravine was long and vigorous. Looking carefully, it was shaped like a crouching dragon. It was so similar that it could be passed off as the real deal.
It was as if there really was a dragon sleeping here, crushing the great earth, forming this type of great ravine.
It was recorded in the 'Heavenly Origin Book' that this was a great vicious land, the legendary 'Fire Dragon Tomb', a place where dragons were buried.
Ye Fan had previously carefully studied those words, but he didn't know if it was a place where True Dragons were buried, or if it was a place where dragon veins were buried. He still hadn't comprehended them, because those ancient texts were too difficult.
According to what was recorded in the 'Heavenly Origin Book', Fire Dragon Tomb definitely had a divine source, definitely an exceptional treasure within the source. However, there was also a strict warning that one had to avoid Fire Dragon Tomb upon encountering it. Unless absolutely necessary, they definitely couldn't dig it up, or else there would definitely be a great disaster.
"Origin Ancient Mine, what kind of place is it exactly?!" Ye Fan found it hard to calm down, great waves surging within him. He saw this type of landscape from the outside, it truly was hard to imagine what kind of mountain and river terrain that ancient mine's surroundings were like.
"Let's make a detour, do not approach the great ravine." He seriously reminded.
"Correct, this is a death trap. I feel like no matter how many powerful cultivators enter, they will all die." Old Sabre Honcho nodded, his expression serious, expressing his agreement.
The eight of them unanimously agreed to make a detour around the dragon's head. They walked several li, and then finally arrived at the dragon's head. It was vivid and lifelike as expected, as if there really was a dragon corpse lying on the ground.
"This place …" Old Sabre Honcho frowned, his innate spiritual perception making him shudder inwardly.
"Not good, hurry and retreat, hurry and leave this place!" Ye Fan felt his fine hairs all stand on end.
In front of the dragon's head was an extremely small lake, its circumference only a dozen or so zhang. It was a bright red expanse, the water like blood, making one's heart tremble.
Even if it was a normal person who saw this, they would still be shocked. There wasn't even a blade of grass growing in the desolate restricted area, there shouldn't be any water, so how could there be a lake like this?!
Meanwhile, when it entered Ye Fan's eyes, it became even more extraordinary. His entire body went cold. Fire Dragon Tomb was already terrifying enough, if this blood lake was added on, then it would be a great disaster among great disasters.
Based on what was recorded in the 'Heavenly Origin Book', this was a 'Dragon's Blood', rarely seen in this world. There was a blood divine source buried here, almost impossible to obtain, touching it would result in death.
'Fire Dragon Tomb' and 'Dragon's Blood', these types of landforms were linked together. If they were touched, even the Eastern Wastelands' matchless divine kings wouldn't be able to escape disaster.
