The Jade Lake was extremely beautiful and majestic. The sacred mountains were majestic, and the peaks were ethereal. It was as if one had walked into a celestial realm, making one feel lost and intoxicated.
Spirit herbs grew along the cliffs, and auspicious beasts lurked in the mountains. There was both celestial qi and wondrous scenery. It was magnificent.
This was the famous divine land of the Eastern Barren Territory, so there was naturally a lot of dragon qi lingering around. The purple qi was luxurious, and there were no less than 10,000 strands. Celestial mist hung in the air, forming a huge dragon.
Ye Fan's residence was very elegant and quiet. It was located in a purple bamboo forest, and there was a clear lake outside the house. It was peaceful and quiet.
The purple bamboo was like jade, and there were spirit herbs growing in the forest. They were not very dense, and a few could be seen occasionally. Upon closer inspection, they were several hundred years old, and there were even ancient herbs that were more than 1,000 years old.
The large black dog started to wander around as soon as he arrived. He looked around, saying that he was taking little Nan Nan to enjoy the scenery, but only heaven knew what he wanted to do.
"This damned dog is obviously up to no good. It's most likely going for the peach garden," Li Heishui said.
After the large black dog entered the Jade Lake, he didn't stop talking. He kept beating around the bush, asking where the peach garden was. When there was no one around, he almost started to drool.
The peach garden of the Jade Lake was famous throughout the world. It was a famous Spirit Root in the Eastern Barren Territory. A bite of a peach could prolong a mortal's life, and it was also very beneficial to cultivators.
"It's not an Immortal Godly medicine, so why is it so attractive?" Jiang Huairen was doubtful.
"Didn't you hear that damned dog's mumbling? It wants to find the most ancient peach tree, not the spirit peaches in the celestial garden. I feel like it's at least comparable to a peerless spirit herb that's more than 10,000 years old."
"I remember now. My grandfather said that there is an ancient tree in the Jade Lake, and it's the most precious thing after the Immortal Godly medicine," Wu Zhongtian said.
"What? Close to the Immortal Godly medicine? What kind of Spirit Root is that?" Liu Kou was shocked.
"It's said that it was brought out from the Ruins of God …"
The Ruins of God was one of the Seven Great Forbidden Areas of the Eastern Barren Territory. It was on the same level as the Immortal Mountain and the Origin Ancient Mine. It was located in the western region of the Eastern Barren Territory, and it was mysterious.
It was rumored that this was a place left behind by deities. There were even records that stated that this place had an indestructible Southern Heavenly Gate and a majestic Heavenly Imperial Tower. It was vast and boundless, without end.
That was a forbidden zone for life. It had always been a place where one could only enter but not leave. No one could explore all of its secrets. After hundreds of thousands of years, the world had changed, but the Divine Ruins hadn't changed at all.
Between heaven and earth, there were only a few stalks of undying divine medicines, all of them able to choose their own places of residence. They could fly through the sky and escape through the earth. Right now, they all entered life restricted areas.
It was rumored that the Undying Peach Tree was rooted in the Ruins of God. It was only a meter tall and could only bear two or three Peaches of Immortality in 10,000 years.
"More than 100,000 years ago, a Sage of the Jade Pool entered the Ruins of God. He narrowly escaped death and eventually came out. He didn't bring back the Immortal Peach Tree, but he brought back a divine Peach of Immortality."
How did the Jade Lake get its name? Everyone in the world knew that they had a spring that was famous throughout the world. All of the holy lands would come here to ask for water when refining medicine. It could be considered a divine spring.
Especially during the Primordial Age, this spring was the most miraculous. The water that flowed out was comparable to the Heavenly Spring of Life, and it had the effect of reviving the dead.
After that Sage returned, he buried the seed of the divine Peach of Immortality and watered it with the spring of the Jade Lake every day. In the end, it really sprouted.
There had never been an undying divine medicine that could give birth to a second one. They were all unique. The Jade Lake created a miracle by using the spring of the Jade Lake.
However, it was difficult to coexist with immortal treasures. Other than the first fruit that it bore, which was comparable to half a divine Peach of Immortality, all the fruits it bore in the future could not be compared.
It could be called the number one spiritual medicine in the world, but it couldn't be called an undying divine medicine. This was because the Peach of Immortality could only prolong the life of a powerful cultivator for more than a thousand years.
"More than a thousand years, it can be considered a divine medicine!" Jiang Huairen exclaimed.
Wu Zhongtian shook his head and continued, "That was before the Primordial Age. It definitely can't be done now."
"Why?" Liu Kou asked.
Before the Primordial Age, the water in the Jade Lake was close to the Divine Spring of Life. It was watered every day, so the peach tree naturally grew vigorously. The fruits it bore also had the characteristics of a divine medicine.
However, the spirituality of the spring decreased eighty to ninety thousand years ago. It was no longer as effective as before. Watering it no longer had the same effect.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Jade Lake abandoned its old land for some unknown reason and moved to this place. Even though they moved the root of the celestial lake over with a heaven-defying method, it was still greatly damaged.
Wu Zhongtian's grandfather, Wu Dao, was knowledgeable and knew many secrets. He speculated that the divine spring was not as good as before. The fruits of the ancient peach tree planted beside it could only prolong one's life by five hundred years at most.
Ye Fan thought of the old land of the Jade Lake. In order to obtain the Western Emperor Scripture, he once went there with the Black Emperor and saw the abandoned celestial lake. There were corpses everywhere at the bottom of the lake. He still couldn't figure out what had happened.
"How does this damned dog know everything? There's no need to say anything else. It's definitely after the number one spirit medicine in the world." The others were all speechless. They prayed silently that it wouldn't cause trouble. Otherwise, it would most likely be in serious trouble.
An hour later, the large black dog returned with Little Nan Nan on its back. It was listless and listless. Seeing it like this, the others all sighed in relief.
"Where did you go?" Ye Fan asked.
"I went sightseeing and watched beauties coming out of their baths," the large black dog replied in annoyance.
"Damned dog, you didn't really go to peep on the celestial maidens coming out of their baths, did you? Let's go together." Liu Kou's eyes lit up.
"F * ck, do you think I'm as perverted as you?!" The large black dog became even more depressed.
"My dog went to steal peaches, but it was caught and chased out," Little Nan Nan said in a crisp voice.
"I knew you were up to no good. Don't go and cause trouble!" The others all scolded it.
"F * ck, that damned monkey. If it hadn't acted first and alerted us, the people of the Jade Lake definitely wouldn't have been able to stop me!" The large black dog was infuriated.
"What kind of bandit logic is that? Stealing a heavenly peach is reasonable, but why is the Battling Saint Apes involved …"
"The Immortal Peach Tree was in the hands of the Primordial King Battling Saint Apes in the Primordial Age. That damned monkey still hasn't changed, and now he's thinking about it again," the large black dog cursed. "Damned monkey doesn't dare to go to the Ruins of God to find the real Immortal Peach Tree, so he came here to join in the fun and steal business from me."
Ye Fan and the others had arrived at the Jade Lake for a few days, but the event had yet to begin. It seemed like there were still some important figures who hadn't arrived yet.
Apart from some special places, they were very free, and their movements were not restricted. They could look around this ancient land.
"Big Brother, there's a monkey over there." Little Nan Nan tugged on the corner of Ye Fan's shirt.
"Where is there a monkey? I hate monkeys the most. I did in the past, and I still do now! "the large black dog yelled.
Ye Fan's eyes flashed, and he saw a golden-skinned young man standing nearby. He was very sturdy, and he seemed to be filled with strength. His eyes were bright and full of expression.
"Battling Saint Ape …" Ye Fan's heart jolted. He used his divine eyes to see its true form. Its body was covered densely with golden fur, and it had the Eyes of Fire and Gold. It had actually changed its appearance and snuck in.
This was a ruthless fellow. As a member of the Primordial King Clan, although it hadn't matured yet, it was already faintly powerful enough to suppress the great elites. What was it doing here?
Ye Fan was surprised to discover that a grand elder of the Jade Lake had courteously sent the monkey out. It was obvious that he had also sensed something, but he didn't surround and kill it.
"You recognize me?" The monkey asked. At this moment, he had taken on a human form, and his voice was very young. He didn't speak the ancient language, but he could already speak the human language.
Ye Fan nodded, and looked at him silently. The Battling Saint Ape was something that he had cut out from a rare stone, and there was a huge karma between the two of them.
"Aren't you afraid that the human race will surround and kill you?"
"The world has changed, and the Primordial Races are about to revive. If they surround and kill me, there will definitely be Primordial Kings who will destroy the holy lands in the future. They know this." The monkey was very calm.
"What are you doing here?" At this moment, Jiang Huairen and the others also knew that this was the Battling Saint Ape that had previously wreaked havoc in the divine city. They were all indescribably astonished.
"I want to use the Immortal Peach Tree of the Jade Lake to save someone." The monkey was very direct. Its eyes shone brightly as it said, "I know you have a Qilin seed on you. If you give it to me, I'll return a great favor in the future."
Ye Fan was moved. This monkey was not ordinary at all. His physique was special, and once he circulated a heavenly art, his sacred blood would boil. He didn't know what kind of karma this was, but he didn't want to become enemies. He hoped to make friends.
Soon, they began to converse, and the atmosphere could be considered harmonious. Ye Fan tactfully expressed that he didn't have the Qilin seed, but there were other divine objects that could replace it.
"I've talked with the people of the Jade Lake. If I can nourish a Stone King with the blood of the Primordial King for a month, they promised to give me a Peaches of Immortality," the monkey said.
Liu Kou and the others were speechless. The fairies of the Jade Lake were really good negotiators. Nourishing the Stone King with the blood of the Primordial King for a month was really a shocking price.
In the present age, where else could one find such a pure Primordial King? Their entire body was full of treasures, and their blood was the most expensive.
"I need your help to nourish the blood into the Stone King," the monkey said.
"No problem, it's not that difficult." Ye Fan nodded.
"The Jade Lake really knows how to do business. I thought they were a group of fairies in white, but they're all people with blood," Jiang Huairen mumbled.
"Don't talk nonsense. Relatively speaking, they stand aloof from worldly affairs and surpass all the other sects." Wu Zhongtian reprimanded him, not letting him talk nonsense.
"All right, let's go and see the people of the Jade Lake now." The monkey nodded.
The inheritor of the Yuan Taoist Master and the Battling Sacred Ape came together, and the Jade Lake was very courteous to them. Several grand elders came out to welcome them, and the Jade Lake Holy Maiden also accompanied them.
"This stone is very special, and it's very different from the other Stone Kings. We don't want to seal it, but we want it to give birth to life," a grand elder said.
In the past, an ancient Saint of the Jade Lake had left this stone behind, and it had been passed down to this day.
The Jade Lake Holy Maiden was graceful and elegant, and she led the way in front. She was as ethereal as a fairy, and she exuded a boundless charm. This kind of beauty could make one's heart calm and peaceful.
Several grand elders of the Jade Lake accompanied them, and they brought them to an important place of the Jade Lake — the Celestial Lake. This was where their name came from.
In front of them, there was a misty mist, and the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds could be seen all around. It was like a mythical world, and rare birds and beasts that looked like three-legged golden crows, fire phoenixes, and kirins could be seen roaming around.
"As expected, that Ancient Heavenly Peach Tree has borne fruit again!" the large black dog muttered excitedly.
There was an ancient tree beside the Celestial Lake. It was as strong as a horned dragon, and it was dozens of meters tall. Its roots stretched into the sky, and it was rooted beside the Celestial Lake. There were a few fruits on its branches, and their fragrance could make one's pores relax. It was obvious that this was a peerless precious medicine.
The Undying Heavenly Peach Tree in the Ruins of God was only one meter tall. Even though this tree was so tall and had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it still couldn't compare to the Undying Heavenly Peach Tree.
There was a sparkling and translucent stone beneath the Ancient Heavenly Peach Tree. There were nine holes on the stone, and it absorbed and emitted the essence of the sun and moon. It looked extremely mystical!
"F * ck, there's actually such a stone!" the large black dog couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
There were also a few people observing the stone beneath the Ancient Heavenly Peach Tree beside the Celestial Lake. Ye Fan recognized one of them. It was Ouyang Ye, who was infinitely close to becoming an Earth Source Master. It was this old bastard who had recognized him in the Divine City, and that was why he had been killed.
Ouyang Ye also looked over, and there was a flicker in her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking about, but a hint of a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
Ye Fan hated people from ancient Origin Technique clans, so he didn't pay them any heed.
"Humph!"
The Battle Saint Ape humphed coldly, and he immediately lashed out with a large golden hand. "You actually harbor killing intent toward my friend? Are you seeking death?!"
