"Martial Uncle, it won't be long before the disciples are sent to the inner sect. My master wants you to make preparations." Li Xiaoman bowed. She was elegant and otherworldly. Her fine black hair danced in the wind, and her dress was pure white without a speck of dust.
"I understand," the eastern mountain chieftain said, nodding.
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. Would he be closer to the Nine Secrets if he entered the inner sect? I have to seize this opportunity. I'm sure everyone else has the same thought.
Recently, he had been paying attention to Li Xiaoman. However, he did not see her interacting with anyone special. He could not find any traces of Hua Yunfei.
He felt that Hua Yunfei was definitely at the Qin Sect, but he did not know who he was. He wanted to search for him through Li Xiaoman, but he could not find any clues or clues.
"Martial Uncle, I'll take my leave now." Li Xiaoman bowed and her sleeves fluttered as she flew into the sky like a fairy.
When the smoke and dust in the cave settled, a large vermilion coffin was lying on the ground. Three snot-nosed children were crying inside, and chickens and ducks were jumping around.
When the Mountain Chieftain saw the three wailing brats below, she was instantly angered to the point of being amused. She said, "Look at how useless you are. All you do is steal chickens and dogs. If you don't listen to me, I'll lock you up in the underground cave."
"Mountain Chieftain, please save us. We will only steal this once. We won't dare to do it again." The three snot-nosed children were sobbing as they leaned against the coffin. They were terrified.
The immortal-foundation expert flicked his sleeves and swept them up together with the coffin. "Kuang dang!" The coffin was thrown horizontally onto the ground.
This coffin had been buried underground for over ten thousand years, but it didn't show any signs of decaying. It was still the same as before. It was carved from Red Silk Dragon Wood and was extremely precious.
Bang!
The instant the coffin lid was opened, a green light flew out. It was actually a centipede that was two meters long and sparkled like jade. Its mouth spewed out a green mist, and the chickens and geese all turned into pus and blood.
The Mountain Lord was at the peak of the first layer of immortal-foundation. As a half-step supreme existence, his strength was naturally extremely powerful. With a wave of his sleeves, he brought all the children away with him.
"Centipede Skydemon!"
Many people cried out loudly. This was a centipede that had clearly matured. Even though it wasn't shockingly thick, it was still frightening enough.
Bang!
The Mountain Lord personally took action and fought against it. Endless magical power was released to continuously refine it. The dark green centipede pierced through the void and actually escaped.
Everyone was shocked. This was a strange insect that had cultivated for over 800 years. Even though it hadn't taken human form, it had the power of a half-step almighty.
It walked the path of the Bug King, choosing not to evolve into a human, but to continue cultivating with its bug body. It was even more terrifying.
"Pu!"
An expanse of green light sprayed out. Its mouthful of poison even pierced through this short mountain, and one could well imagine just how powerful it was.
The Mountain Chieftain let out a long howl and spat out a small green gourd from his mouth. Boundless golden water vapor gushed out and purified the poison, then engulfed the dark green centipede.
"Sun True Water!"
Many people cried out, even Ye Fan was astonished. The Solar True Water corresponded to the Lunar True Water. Even though it was water, it contained extreme yang energy, and it was the bane of darkness bugs.
"Pu!"
The Jade Centipede opened its mouth and spat out a streak of green light that turned into a centipede-shaped dark green short sword. It cut through the void and rushed towards the Sun True Water and the gourd.
"Not good, this centipede's cultivation is very profound. You guys, retreat!" The Mountain Chieftain shouted.
He and the Jade Centipede rushed into the sky and continuously clashed. An elder below turned into a beam of light and rushed to the main gate to report the danger here.
At this time, everyone was nervous and frightened. There was a corpse inside the vermillion coffin. Its flesh hadn't decayed, but it was as black as ink.
"This is Red Silk Dragon Wood. It can ensure that the body is immortal and can live for twenty thousand years. It is a rare treasure, and this person must have been an emperor level character when he was alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a coffin."
"How terrifying! This centipede devoured the corpse's origin essence. No wonder it is so powerful."
Everyone saw everything inside the coffin and felt uneasy. An emperor became the food of a poisonous insect after his death, unable to rest in peace even in death.
The snot babies' faces turned pale and they trembled in fear. Just now, they had just brushed shoulders with the god of death. If not for the centipede looking down on their flesh, they would have died a long time ago.
"BOOM!"
In the air, the body of the centipede trembled violently as a green light shone brightly. In an instant, it expanded to over ten meters in length, resembling a flood dragon. Its body was gigantic and its hundred legs moved in unison, lacerating the void.
"A Tian Hou at the peak of the first level of immortal-foundation. Only supreme existences can subdue it. Its poison is too intense."
"Pu!"
The over ten meter long Jade Centipede spat out a mouthful of jade water, cleanly dissolving the peak of a short mountain. This kind of poison caused the hearts of everyone to palpitate.
"Demonic insect, hand over your life!"
From afar, a long howl rang out. A supreme existence rode on a cloud and stretched out a gigantic palm that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, grabbing towards the Jade Centipede.
"A supreme existence at the peak!" Ye Fan was shocked. As expected, there was a supreme existence guarding the main peak. An emperor level character had appeared in such a short period of time.
"Pu!"
The Heavenly Centipede soared through the air, glowing with a jade-green light. The poison in its mouth gushed out, transforming the five short mountains into dust in a single breath, no longer existing. It darted left and right, wanting to flee.
However, the supreme existence's methods were heaven-defying, completely locking down this space. He grabbed downwards, and with a "pa" sound, the centipede was caught. After that, a multicolored light shone as the centipede was refined.
"This is a character at the peak of the Saint Lord level. Suppressing a half-step Heavenly Centipede King is like squashing an ordinary insect. There's no difference at all." Ye Fan shuddered.
The body of the Jade Centipede was filled with poison. It unceasingly spat out green light but it couldn't break through the light screen. It was refined by the magical energy and rapidly shrunk. Finally, it shrank to the size of a palm and appeared in the palm of the supreme existence, unmoving.
"Vile creature, as one of the five poisonous insects, it's perfect to be used to nurture a gu king." This supreme existence from the main sect coldly snorted. He kept the centipede into a small cauldron and left.
This was a supreme existence. In an era without saints and great completion King Physiques, they represented the world's most powerful fighting strength. They were the true rulers of the earth.
"That insect really isn't simple. It actually devoured the corpse's broken source."
"That's almost not a centipede anymore. It has long turned into a gu, devouring its own kind and other creatures. It will become stronger and stronger."
Gu was a type of divine insect that was raised by locking all kinds of insect kings together and letting them devour each other. In the end, only one was left. It originated from the Southern Mountains of the five great regions. The people there were good at raising gu.
At this moment, when Ye Fan heard their words, he quivered and shivered. He thought of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art. Wasn't it just like this? Those who cultivated this kind of heavenly art devoured the human race's King Physiques to strengthen themselves. In the end, they turned into the human's gu king. It was exactly the same!
"When the ancient Heavenly Emperor created this supreme demonic art, he was most likely inspired by the gu king." When Ye Fan thought of this, he was shaken and said, "This is bad!"
The Qinling Mountains was a mysterious ancient land. There were many ancient mausoleums. In ancient times, even the people of the celestial dynasty came here to be buried. Only heaven knew how many ancient tombs there were in these mountains.
Hua Yunfei was like a fish in water. If he discovered some immortal corpses, it would definitely be a "feast"!
The well-preserved corpse of a supreme character would most likely still have some remnant source. If it fell into Hua Yunfei's hands, just thinking about it made people shiver.
"In less than ten years, he will be able to run amok under the heavens!"
For the first time, Ye Fan felt that Hua Yunfei's future was even more terrifying than he had imagined. If he couldn't keep him in check now, once he matured, he might be invincible.
Several days later, the Eastern Mountain Lord announced a piece of news. In two months, he would select disciples to enter the inner sect. Everyone in the mountain was moved.
"In the competition of the four branches, the first place can enter the inner sect. There is only one spot," said the Mountain Lord.
Everyone was stunned. Only the first place of the four branches could enter the main peak. The conditions were too harsh. After a big battle, everyone else would be in vain.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. According to what he knew, there were only three or four disciples who had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm. They definitely had great backgrounds.
The other three branches were not weak. If they wanted to fight for first place, it would definitely be a fierce battle. This was definitely done on purpose by the Qin Sect. They already knew that their disciples had impure motives.
"They came for the Nine Secrets, but I came for you, Princess Moon Spirit. Who exactly did you transform into, and which branch are you from?" the Eastern Scholar Qin Yue muttered to himself.
This was the only news Ye Fan had obtained from paying attention to the scholar and the sickly old man. He had used his Heavenly Origin Divine Technique to connect with the earth veins and hear these words.
"The second most beautiful woman in the Central Plains, the Jiuli Celestial Dynasty's Princess Moon Spirit, is also in the Qin Sect?!" Ye Fan was quite shocked. In this small place, there were only a hundred or so people in a small sect. Only heaven knew what other powerful characters there were.
He didn't even need to think to know that the handsome scholar was a prince of the Divine Dynasty. Otherwise, how could he have dared to chase after Goddess Moon Spirit? He was a hidden dragon.
"How many people like Princess Moon Spirit and Hua Yunfei are there in the east, west, south, and north? How did they find them?" Ye Fan was puzzled. Clearly, some of them had been here for a year or two, or even earlier.
Two days later, the Eastern Mountain Lord announced another piece of news. If they could make a great contribution to the Qin Sect, they would be able to enter the main peak and cultivate the highest secret manuals.
"What is considered a great contribution?" a disciple asked.
"Finding dragon marrow to extend the life of the main peak's elders, or presenting precious materials that can be used to forge King Divine Weapons …"
Everyone was stunned. Every treasure was a rare treasure worth millions of kilograms of source energy. This was a super "great contribution"!
Ye Fan felt that the Qin Sect must have long since understood the goal of these disciples. Now, they were asking for a lion's share of the fees from the Divine Dynasty and the other major powers.
After the crowd dispersed, Ye Fan asked the sickly old man, "Old bro, do you plan to enter the main peak?"
"It's better not to enter the inner sect." The sickly old man shook his head.
"Why?" Ye Fan didn't understand.
"There are some extremely talented people who enter, and they can't leave for the rest of their lives," the sickly old man said.
"Who are they?" Ye Fan's expression changed.
"For example, the King of Jade Luo."
"What!?" Ye Fan was shocked. He immediately thought of the Nine Heavens Blue Sky Bell. It was left behind by an invincible king from twenty thousand years ago.
This King of Jade Luo naturally couldn't be the same person from twenty thousand years ago. The sickly old man didn't hold back and told him some secrets.
Thirty years ago, someone had found this place. At that time, the King of Jade Luo was still in his prime. In less than a year, he entered the main peak and stayed there permanently.
"It's not that he didn't want to leave, but …" The sickly old man shook his head.
"Could it be that there are other secrets?" Ye Fan asked.
"Of course there are." The sickly old man revealed a shocking secret.
In the main peak of the Qin Sect, there were peerless experts who weren't any weaker than the holy lands. And the most terrifying thing was that they had a secret art called the Soul Cleansing Art.
This art could cleanse a king of a generation. If it was said that Buddha could cleanse all living beings from suffering, then this art could cleanse all kings of the world. The higher one's talent was, the greater the influence would be.
The King of Jade Luo entered the main peak for less than three years before he became a protector of the sect. From this, one could imagine his mental journey. And now, he had even become a supreme protector of the Qin Sect.
Thirty years had passed, and he hadn't taken a single step out of the main peak. He had taken root in the Qin Sect and officially became a member.
The Soul Cleansing Art didn't control one's divine sense. Instead, it controlled the source of one's divine sense, allowing one to wholeheartedly worship them.
"Although there aren't many people in the Qin Sect, the main peak doesn't lack experts. The King of Jade Luo is only one of them. And now that thirty years have passed, he can at least fight against a peerless holy lord."
"The main peak is so unfathomably deep …" Ye Fan was dumbfounded.
"Naturally. The origin of the Soul Cleansing Art is extremely terrifying. It's said that it's a peerless divine art left behind by the Southern Mountains Celestial Emperor.
"This …" Ye Fan was dumbfounded. There were rumors in the world that the Southern Mountains Celestial Emperor was a ruthless and ruthless character. And now, there was actually a peerless saint art of his!
