The Sea of Sufferings of a cultivator, as its name suggested, was desolate, lifeless, and devoid of life fluctuations. However, in the center of Ye Fan's Sea of Sufferings, the golden light spot was shining brightly like the rising sun, full of vitality.
As Pang Bo said, this golden Sea of Sufferings had a little fluctuation of divine power. Although it was very weak, it was obviously extraordinary. Compared with the Sea of Sufferings of other people, it could be called magical. The essence of the brilliant rainbow was completely different.
"Could it be that you have communicated with the Wheel of Life?" According to Pang Bo's speculation, Ye Fan might have opened up a passage that connected to the Wheel of Life under the Sea of Sufferings, causing the divine spring to gush up, which caused such a magical scene.
Ye Fan shook his head and denied Pang Bo's speculation. "No passage has been opened, and there is no source of divine power flowing up." He was sure that this was indeed the Sea of Sufferings, not the divine spring that gushed out of the Wheel of Life.
Pang Bo sighed and said, "This is really amazing. The Sacred Body of the Ancients is really extraordinary and completely different from ordinary people. Could it be that the golden Sea of Sufferings is exclusive to people with this kind of physique?"
"It's just a preliminary opening of the Sea of Sufferings. I don't know if I can continue to cultivate." Ye Fan did not let joy dilute his rationality.
Then he began to look inside and carefully examine the situation of the Sea of Sufferings. The sesame-sized golden Sea of Sufferings was surrounded by endless darkness and emptiness, and it was as silent as a dead land. However, it was difficult to completely drown its light. This light spot was like a bright moon hanging in the sky. This caused boundless hope to arise in Ye Fan's heart. Perhaps one day, he would be able to establish a boundlessly vast golden Sea of Misery, completely drive out the darkness and Death Energy, and allow this desolate place to glow with exuberant vitality.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo discussed for a long time and agreed that Ye Fan's physique was too special. It was like a bottomless pit, and he needed a large amount of Hundred-herb Liquid to open up the Sea of Sufferings. He was very different from ordinary people. He wasn't afraid of the medicinal power being too strong and piercing through his sea of bitterness. His sea of bitterness was simply an abyss that couldn't be filled.
After coming to this conclusion, both of them were in a bit of a dilemma. Other disciples who had just joined the sect consumed a bottle of Hundred Herbs Potion every three months, and they only consumed four bottles in a year. However, Ye Fan had just opened up a sesame-sized Sea of Bitterness, and he had consumed a total of fifty-nine bottles, which was equivalent to the consumption of other people for more than ten years. This was really scary!
According to Elder Wu Qingfeng, the higher one climbed on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it would be. In the later stages, every step forward would cost ten times the price of the earlier stages.
Ye Fan fell into a daze as he thought about this. The same logic must apply to the consumption of the Hundred Herbs Potion. It was only the beginning, but he already needed to consume dozens of bottles at the same time. It was hard to imagine how shocking the number would be when he succeeded in his cultivation.
"Don't worry, there will always be a solution." At this point, Pang Bo's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. He said, "We can tell Elder Wu Qingfeng that you're able to cultivate. If you can successfully cultivate the Sacred Physique before the Antiquity Age, it will definitely be enough to shake the Land of Yan and the Eastern Wilderness. It's simply unimaginable. I believe that the elders of the Spirit Ruin Wonderland will be very shocked and will do everything they can to provide you with what you need."
Ye Fan thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We can't tell them."
"Why?" Pang Bo was puzzled.
"First, because the Spirit Ruin Wonderland can't threaten the Eastern Wilderness. Once the news is leaked, I'll definitely die. Second, I suspect that although the golden Sea of Bitterness is magical, it's very likely that I won't be able to continue cultivating it. It's most likely that I'll still be a cripple. "
Pang Bo thought about it carefully and agreed with the first reason. It was true that the news couldn't be leaked, or else he might really be killed.
"As for the second reason, I think you're overthinking it."
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Now I finally know why this kind of physique only appeared occasionally in the Post-Antiquity Age, but it's so difficult to cultivate. The consumption alone is not something that ordinary sects can bear. It's fine in the early stages, but the path to immortality is long. Every step forward will increase the consumption tenfold. If the cultivation continues to grow at a tenfold speed, it'll be an unimaginably astronomical figure to barely cultivate to the middle stage, let alone the late stage. I'm afraid that even the sacred grounds and the ancient families that have been passed down from the Antiquity Age will find it difficult to cultivate. It can even be said that the loss outweighs the gain. Such consumption is more than enough to cultivate many other outstanding disciples. "
"Is this the reason why the Sacred Body of the Ancients can't be cultivated and became a cripple?" Pang Bo looked surprised.
Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "This reason was only discovered in the early stages of cultivation. I think it's far more than that. Otherwise, the sacred grounds and the families of the Ancients wouldn't have given up so easily. It's very likely that there are more harsh and difficult conditions or reasons."
"How could this be …" Pang Bo was in a daze. He felt that Ye Fan's future was bleak, and the path of cultivation seemed to be extremely difficult.
However, Ye Fan did not look dejected at all. He said, "If the Sacred Body of the Ancients could be cultivated so easily, then it would lose its meaning. The more difficult the path ahead, the more extraordinary it is. Go against the waves, climb the cliffs, and cross the abyss. Go as far as you can, and you might even be able to look at the peak. "
In the days that followed, Ye Fan and Pang Bo trained even harder to improve their cultivation.
During this period, Elder Wu Qingfeng summoned Pang Bo to the back mountain of the Spiritual Ruin Cave and officially confirmed him as a seedling. He encouraged Pang Bo to train hard and make the Divine Spring in the Sea of Bitterness gush as soon as possible. When that time came, he would take Pang Bo as his last disciple.
After being officially confirmed as a seedling, Pang Bo could receive eight bottles of Hundred Herbs Potion every month. Compared to the four bottles he could receive in a year before, the treatment was much better. Moreover, as his cultivation continued to improve, the supply would gradually increase in the future to meet all of his needs. There was no need to worry about the shortage of Hundred Herbs Potion.
In the back mountain of the Spiritual Ruin Cave, Pang Bo earnestly asked Elder Wu Qingfeng many questions. He mainly wanted to help Ye Fan solve the doubts of the Golden Sea of Bitterness.
Elder Wu Qingfeng told him many secrets about the Sea of Bitterness. He said that there were some extraordinary figures in this world who opened the Sea of Bitterness, and there would indeed be all kinds of strange phenomena.
"What kind of strange phenomena will there be?"
Elder Wu Qingfeng talked about more than a dozen strange phenomena, but he did not mention the Golden Sea of Bitterness.
In the end, Pang Bo could not help but ask directly, "When the Sea of Bitterness is opened, is it possible that there will be a tsunami, a divine rainbow, and the Sea of Bitterness will turn into a golden ocean?"
"Impossible!" Elder Wu Qingfeng shook his head, but he hesitated in the end and said, "Perhaps, the legendary 'divine body' that reappeared in the Eastern Barren Territory may have such unparalleled strange phenomena, but it shouldn't have such a great impact."
Recently, there was a rumor that a rare divine body had reappeared in the Eastern Barren Territory, and there was more than one case. It was said that all of them were still growing and were hidden in sacred grounds or families of the Clan of the Ancients. Even Elder Wu Qingfeng had heard many rumors.
"Almost all of those rare geniuses have been taken away by those sacred grounds and families of the Clan of the Ancients …" Elder Wu Qingfeng seemed helpless.
After Pang Bo returned, he repeated everything he had heard to Ye Fan. In the end, he said, "It seems that the Golden Sea of Bitterness is indeed extraordinary. Even the legendary divine body that reappeared in the Eastern Barren Territory did not have such a great impact when it first opened the Sea of Bitterness. I really hope that your cultivation can go smoothly. By then, you will be able to compete with the geniuses nurtured by those sacred grounds and families of the Clan of the Ancients. "
After listening, Ye Fan thought for a long time. Then, he looked at Pang Bo and said, "I think it's time for me to leave the Spiritual Ruin Cave."
"Why?" Pang Bo was very surprised. He did not know why Ye Fan suddenly made such a decision.
"I came to the Spiritual Ruin Cave to learn how to cultivate. Now, it's not suitable for me to stay here any longer. I need to go somewhere else to try my luck."
"No, if you're leaving, I'm leaving too." Pang Bo firmly opposed.
"You've already been confirmed as an immortal seedling. The Spiritual Ruin Cave will do its best to nurture you, so there's no need for you to leave. However, I'm different. With my physique, I won't have any development in the Spiritual Ruin Cave. "
