There were many people around Ji Ziyue, but Ye Fan didn't care about them. What he was really afraid of were the experts in the dark, including the elders of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
"Ji Hui … that old hag!"
In the past, he had escorted Ji Ziyue back from a thousand miles away. Ji Hui didn't repay him and almost caused him to be doomed. He had never hated someone so much before.
Ye Fan stared at Ji Hui in the dark and almost attacked her a few times. With his Indestructible Body, he could follow her silently and kill her in one shot.
However, he still restrained himself in the end. A little impatience would spoil a great plan. He came for the Undying Spirit Medicine in the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Grounds. If he killed Ji Hui and revealed his whereabouts, it would bring about many variables.
In this area, the Ji Family and the Alkaid were the absolute rulers. This was their territory, and no one could shake their position.
"You guys are too annoying. I'm not leaving!" Ji Ziyue squatted on the ground and pouted, unwilling to get up.
Her eyes darted around as she continued to look for an opportunity to escape. She targeted the people of the Ancient Hua Dynasty, hoping to borrow their strength.
Many cultivators came to the Yan Capital. The people of the Ancient Hua Dynasty didn't disguise themselves at all. Some wore the Ancient Hua Dragon Robe, while others had Dragon Qi surrounding them.
Ye Fan thought for a while and didn't follow them. He continued to look for the little girl in the city, but no matter how vast his Divine Sense was, he couldn't find her.
He asked some people, and they said there were many abandoned children in the city. No one paid special attention to the one he was talking about, so there was no result.
Ye Fan stayed in an inn, booked a quiet courtyard, and started to refine the stone armor. This was the key to entering and leaving the forbidden area.
The stone skin of the God Source was not strong and couldn't be used as armor, but it could isolate all auras. It was a strange material.
All Genesis Technique Masters had God Source Stone Armor. It was a rare treasure for entering and exiting dangerous places and ancient mines deep in the mountains. As the successor of the Yuan Taoist Master, Ye Fan naturally knew about this.
The Six Seals Against Immortals was a top-tier Genesis technique that required six types of Divine Essence Stone skins as its materials. It was a technique that was close to the dao. Not only could it seal Genesis, but it could also seal mountains, rivers, and earth, as well as powerful experts.
Unfortunately, there were only a few lines in the Genesis Heavenly Book, making it extremely difficult to understand and comprehend. It was an imperfect Genesis technique that was still in the process of being deduced.
Ye Fan spent a long time trying to comprehend those lines of ancient characters. Even after exhausting all his energy, he only managed to comprehend ten to twenty percent of it. At most, he could only achieve a little more than the seal on immortals.
But that was enough. Although he had collected a lot of stone skins, there were only two types. It was impossible for him to collect all six types of ancient materials.
The God Source that Ye Fan had obtained were all golden. The other types were very rare and could only be found by chance.
That day, during his duel with the Genesis technique aristocratic family, Nangong Qi had cut open the Blood Sacrificial Altar, revealing a silver source that sparkled like the moon and stars. Sealed within was a young girl.
At that time, he did not know the origin of that source. Only later did he realize that it was an even more precious God Source. It was extremely rare, and the stone skin had naturally fallen into his hands.
For seven days and seven nights, Ye Fan had exhausted almost all of his efforts and did his best to destroy seventy to eighty percent of the stone skin. Finally, the stone skin was born and the two types of ancient materials were fused together.
This did not mean that the stone skin was formed. During these days, Ye Fan could be said to have spared no effort. He concentrated all his attention and carved thousands of Genesis Heavenly Runes on the stone skin.
The runes that were engraved were profound and complex. Every single rune contained his essence, Qi, and spirit. This was the extreme embodiment of the Genesis techniques that he had mastered so far.
Ye Fan turned his endless comprehension and many mysterious Genesis techniques into tangible runes. He refined them into the stone skin according to the records in the Genesis Heavenly Book.
After completing all of this, he was on the verge of collapsing. He could not even move a finger. He rested for a long time before he recovered.
The stone skin was simple and unadorned. There was nothing special about it. It did not look like it was made by an Genesis technique expert.
Ye Fan was very satisfied. This was his only masterpiece at the moment. After wearing it, he felt as if he was isolated from this world, as if he was in another void.
He immediately felt something strange after coming out of seclusion. A large number of cultivators had come to the Yandu. The atmosphere was incomparably tense. The other supreme sect of the Central Plains had finally arrived.
The Yin Yang Sect had an extremely ancient heritage. It could be traced back to the birth of mankind. It was a powerful and terrifying force.
Within the Central Continent's hundred sects, it was ranked at the very top, worthy of being called a holy land. Even though it didn't produce a great emperor, nor did it have an extreme dao holy weapon, it was comparable to the four great undying empires.
The Yin Yang Sect had branches all over the world. They even had branches in the Northern Region of the Eastern Barren Territory. However, their origin was in the Central Plains. Since ancient times, they had always been flourishing.
Other than the ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect, there were also many people from other major powers. They could not resist the temptation. The immortal divine medicine could be considered a celestial treasure. Only the ancient Sovereigns had planted it. It was extinct in the world, and only a few stalks were left in the forbidden area.
With a few flashes, Ye Fan turned into a beam of light and rushed out of the Yandu. He flew toward the ancient forest of the forbidden area. He was really afraid that someone would get there first. At that time, he would not even have a place to cry.
The ancient forest had an ancient style. Many cultivators had already arrived at the periphery, and many of them had already entered.
Ye Fan's heart sank. He had a bad feeling. Could it be that the ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect were about to take action?
After traveling for several hundred miles, no one dared to continue flying because there were a few terrifying existences living outside the forbidden area.
Some of the demon races chose to transform into humans early on, while others chose to cultivate in their original form. They would continue to evolve in the form of beast kings. It was hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker.
However, most of the demon races that did not choose to transform into humans were naturally powerful and incomparably arrogant races. They were not willing to integrate into a world dominated by humans.
Many people knew that there were such existences living outside the forbidden area. They were inhumane, and once they were enraged, mountains of corpses and seas of blood would be formed.
Ye Fan went in and saw a few rogue cultivators. He heaved a sigh of relief after understanding them in detail.
The ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect had no intention of entering. They were only scouting ahead and making detailed arrangements.
Ahead, the roars shook the sky. The ancient forest was in chaos, and leaves were flying everywhere. The earth was shaking for a long time before it stopped.
"Too terrifying. A strange beast fought to a draw with the imperial uncle of the ancient dynasty!"
The shocking news shocked all the rogue cultivators who had arrived. How terrifying was this strange beast to be able to fight to a draw with a holy lord?
Ye Fan and a dozen rogue cultivators moved forward and arrived at the place where the battle had just taken place. It was deathly silent here. There were no plants, birds, or insects. In front of a pile of rocks was a huge lake.
It was as still as a piece of iron, without the slightest ripple, and the most shocking thing was its color. It was pitch-black, like ink, so black that it was terrifying.
This was a barren land where not even a single weed grew. The black lake was lifeless without any signs of life. It was truly evil water.
Several rogue cultivators had seen the battle just now and their faces were pale. One of them said with a trembling voice, "It's the legendary Golden Crow Cicada!"
The Golden Crow Cicada was an ancient strange beast. As time passed, it became rare to see one in the world. Only one would occasionally appear in the desolate land every tens of thousands of years.
Not long after, Ye Fan and a few others arrived at the edge of the forbidden area. The ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect stood on two separate peaks and looked forward.
Apart from that, there were also a hundred rogue cultivators observing. They were still several miles away from the true forbidden area, but no one dared to take another step forward. They were filled with reverence towards this forbidden area. It could easily take away a person's entire life.
Ye Fan clearly sensed the abnormality. The forbidden area was even more terrifying than before. He had entered it before and was very sensitive to the aura of the desolate land. It was many times stronger than before.
This was not a good sign. He couldn't help but frown and ponder.
"The ancient dynasty brought a divine robe. It was left behind by an ancient sage after he passed away. It could be said that they have spent a lot of resources."
"The divine robe of an ancient sage … there's actually such a peerless divine item. Maybe they really can succeed."
Someone whispered.
Ye Fan's heart jumped. This was extremely bad news. He had seen with his own eyes how terrifying the divine robe of an ancient sage was. It could even easily break the pure land of a peerless divine king!
"The Yin Yang Sect is also well-prepared. Rumor has it that they went to the north and asked an ancient clan to refine a mysterious stone robe. It is said that it can weaken the curse."
"These two forces have put in a lot of effort and are determined to win!"
Ye Fan couldn't stay calm after hearing this news. Some people had prepared the same stone robe as him and even the divine robe of an ancient sage. The situation was not optimistic.
He really wanted to enter the forbidden area, but he found that the ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect had each built a high platform on a mountain. They wanted to stay here and look at the nine sacred mountains.
"Oh no!" Ye Fan rubbed his chin and pondered carefully. All of this was not good for him.
In the end, the top experts of the ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect stayed. The others all retreated. They couldn't stay in this place for long. If a strange beast rushed out, it could kill everyone.
Many rogue cultivators saw this and quickly retreated. They didn't have the courage to face a terrifying existence like the Golden Crow Cicada. Once it appeared, no one would be able to survive.
Ye Fan also had to leave. Otherwise, the remaining top experts would notice something was wrong.
In the next half a month, the ancient dynasty and the Yin Yang Sect didn't make any moves. They were still observing. They were very calm.
For Ye Fan, this was a kind of pressure. He only had half a year to live at most, maybe even less than a hundred days. He couldn't afford to waste time.
During this time, Ye Huiling arrived. However, Ye Fan hadn't met her yet. He needed to calm down and observe.
Then, Wang Chongxiao also arrived. He defeated the young experts of the southern region and was invincible. Then, he fought with the eldest disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, causing a huge wave.
Ye Fan gradually calmed down. He could only wait and see. He had made many considerations.
The immortal divine medicine was intelligent and could choose its own place of residence. There were only a few of them in ancient times. In order to not be picked by people, it was said that they flew into the seven great forbidden areas.
There were nine kinds of divine fruits on the nine sacred mountains. Legend said that one main root had been divided into nine parts. Someone wanted to produce more immortal divine medicine, but in the end, something strange happened …
These were all things that Ye Fan had learned recently. He understood many secrets that he hadn't known before.
As Ye Fan waited, he ran into an old friend in a small tavern in Yanhaven. It was none other than Zhang Wenchang, his old classmate who had always been a bit dull.
Zhang Wenchang's temples were white. He was old and didn't have a trace of vitality. He hadn't recovered after coming out of the ancient forbidden area. This tavern was opened by him.
Ye Fan thought of the scene in the Jade Cauldron Grotto when they were drunk. The wooden Zhang Wenchang had cried after getting drunk and wanted to return to his hometown. When he left, his wife was already pregnant and the child was about to be born. He hated himself for not being by his side.
After many years, he had aged even more. His entire person was filled with melancholy. It was obvious that life wasn't going his way. He actually left the Jade Cauldron Grotto and came here to open a tavern.
"Damn old man, your friend really didn't come back?" A young man in the tavern was very arrogant. He looked at Zhang Wenchang with disdain.
"No …" There was no light in Zhang Wenchang's eyes. They were very dim.
Another young man said, "Ancestor Ji Hui predicted that he would come back. He will definitely come to see you. Old trash, if you know, tell us immediately!"
After hearing these words, Ye Fan's expression darkened and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
