Ye Fan was at a loss. There were many ancient stars in the boundless star field. Where did the ancient path lead to?
He and Pang Bo glanced at each other and thought of many things. This ancient star was definitely not the end. It was very likely to be a "relay station".
If they wanted to advance and return home, the only way was to transcend and become stronger. Only then could they leave this world. Otherwise, it would be like being trapped in a cage.
Just how many secrets were there in the vast universe and boundless starry sky? Where did the Pre-Qin Qi Practitioners go after leaving earth?
"Sigh, don't think too much. We have no intention of joining in the fun with those ancient sages. Returning home is the right path." Pang Bo sighed.
Now, it was useless even if they had such thoughts. If they wanted to enter the star field, they had to at least be on par with the ancient saints. Otherwise, they could only rely on the five-colored altar.
"Maybe there are other Star Gates and not just the altar in the forbidden ancient land. If we want to go home, we need to understand this world." Ye Fan secretly transmitted his voice.
Ji Haoyue used the Divination Divine Art to calculate. He couldn't find anything even after looking at the two seals. This was a special talent of the divine body and was very useful in battle.
In the end, they left this place and walked forward. Mist rose from the dried up lake. It didn't seem far away, but it was difficult to approach.
"Eh, it's not simple at all!" Ye Fan revealed a surprised expression.
"We've already been here once, but we couldn't go over. We specially prepared some materials that can break through the fabricated formation patterns. Let's try breaking through it." Li Heishui said.
Jiang Huairen, Wu Zhongtian, and Liu Kou took action. They took out some star stones and withered dragon wood to fill the space in front of the stone forest and threw them into the lake.
The mist lingered and didn't weaken at all. As they got closer, it became thicker. The dry lake with only a puddle was gradually covered in mist, covering the entire stone forest.
"This won't do. It's the same as last time. We can't go through." Pang Bo frowned.
The mist was very thick and quickly drowned the area. It made people lose their sense of direction. They had no choice but to retreat. This place was very strange.
They grabbed a lone wolf and chased it into the mist. It melted in an instant and vanished into thin air. Not even its flesh and bones remained. It was very terrifying.
"This place is really strange …" They took out their magic treasures, and not long after, they also let out cracking sounds as they were destroyed in the mist.
"Could it really be the Immortal Transformation Pond?" Ye Fan's heart thumped with excitement. If it was the Immortal Transformation Pond, then there would be great opportunities!
It had already dried up, becoming a small puddle. If there were immortal treasures, they could easily find them and obtain them.
"Sakyamuni, I've been here before. Maybe it really is the Qinling Celestial Pond, the birthplace of the Azure Emperor." Pang Bo rubbed his hands.
"Since primordial times, who knows how many divine objects have sunk into the celestial pool. Legend has it that there are broken Emperor Weapons and Immortal Treasures." Ji Ziyue knew a lot. Her black eyes flashed with spiritual light.
"Don't act rashly. Let me take a closer look." Ye Fan retreated and observed the mountain from afar.
Stone forests grew thickly, and precipices soared high into the sky. There was little green vegetation near the dried lake, but the surrounding mountains were full of vitality.
"This place is very unusual. Why do I find it more and more familiar the more I look at it …" he mumbled.
No one disturbed him because they all knew that he had received the inheritance of the Yuan Taoist Master. He could be considered an authoritative figure in the study of mountains and rivers.
"This is … the Land of Immortal Ascension!" Ye Fan's heart trembled. This terrain was very similar to the one recorded in the Heavenly Source Book. It was a mysterious and unfathomable place.
The others were shocked. Just from the name, they could tell that it was not an ordinary land. It was definitely incomparably mystical. It was most likely close to the Immortal Transformation Pond.
"As the name suggests, this is a rare and wondrous land. It is connected to a celestial land. The journey will be difficult and dangerous."
Although it was recorded in the Heavenly Source Book, the Land of Immortal Ascension was only a legend. They had never seen it before. Even the Yuan Taoist Master had not been fortunate enough to see it. They could only speculate about the terrain.
There was a path like this in the Qinling Mountains. Without a doubt, it led to the Immortal Transformation Pond. The so-called Road of Immortal Ascension must have originated from there.
"Is it easy to pass?" Jiang Huairen asked hopefully.
"Nine deaths and one life. It is equivalent to rushing through a trial of death. It is extremely difficult to pass." Ye Fan said. This place was not inferior to the various dangerous lands of the Eastern Wasteland.
"This … could it be that we can only watch helplessly? The Immortal Transformation Pond might be up ahead. Since the archaic times, who knows how many pieces of immortal treasures have sunk into it."
The Land of Immortal Ascension was definitely a terrifying place that cut off the path of mortals. Otherwise, if everyone ascended there, how could it be considered an immortal land?
"We can give it a try. Now that it has appeared on its own, the danger should be reduced to the lowest. There is quite a bit of hope."
The Land of Immortal Ascension was normally not visible. It was hidden in the void all year round. Only those who cultivated the Heavenly Eye could see it, but it was still extremely difficult.
It would only appear in the mortal world every ten thousand years and take form. Only then could the people of the world see some traces of it.
Ye Fan finally understood why no one could find the Immortal Transformation Pond. It only appeared once every ten thousand years. It was located in the void and did not belong to the mortal world at all. It was an immortal land not only in name but also in reality.
"It is as if it descended from another world!"
This was also a chance. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if he used the Heavenly Eye to capture traces of it, he wouldn't be able to enter at all.
Each time it appeared on its own, it would weaken and wouldn't be that terrifying. If one's methods were good, they would be able to pass through.
"If we use an ancient saint weapon to open the path, we should be able to enter." Ye Fan said.
"Apart from this, is there no other way?" Pang Bo was really unwilling.
"Brother, go and report to the family head. We will definitely be able to invite a saint weapon out." Ji Ziyue blinked her eyes and said.
"Didn't we agree long ago? If we get anything from this place, we will split it equally. If we invite those old things from your family, we will also invite the bandit grandfathers." Li Heishui said.
If they really alerted the Ji Family, the few of them would definitely run. Even if they invited their grandfathers over, they would have to bring the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot.
"Don't rush, let me try to open a path." Ye Fan said.
According to the records of the Book of Origin, he observed the surrounding mountains and rivers and felt the pulse of the world here. He kept deducing and carving many Heaven Origin patterns on the ground.
After a long time, Ye Fan stood up and walked towards the dried up lake step by step. Genesis Heaven Rune Network automatically appeared under his feet, flashing like a star field.
"Ye Zi, are you confident? If you can't, then don't go!" Pang Bo tried to dissuade him, afraid that he would be in danger.
"Don't worry, I am just testing. I definitely won't let myself fall into danger." Ye Fan smiled.
"You have to be careful, don't try to be brave." Ji Ziyue warned softly. She wrinkled her pretty nose and waved her snow-white hand.
"Little Ye Zi, you have to be careful!" Li Heishui and the others also reminded.
Not long later, Ye Fan's voice came from the mist, telling them to enter. He judged that this path was feasible. At most, they could retreat.
Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, and the others all entered the mist. It was as if they were standing in the clouds, sizing up their surroundings. The mist was so thick that they couldn't even see each other. It was very strange and made them feel uneasy.
The Heaven Resentment pattern under Ye Fan's feet flickered. It was complex and profound. He became one with the pulse of the earth and obtained the path and secrets he wanted to know.
The few of them followed closely behind, walking forward step by step. They were nervous and excited. After all, they were getting close to the legendary Celestial Transformation Pond.
The birthplace of the Azure Thearch. The green copper piece was also immersed in this place. As for what else was there, no one could say for sure. It gave them endless anticipation.
"Don't stray too far from me. You have to be within 30 meters of me. Otherwise, even if a powerhouse takes the wrong path, he will turn into pus and blood." Ye Fan reminded them solemnly.
"It's that scary?" Jiang Huairen muttered. Even powerhouses could be turned into cramps.
"No, we have entered the dried up lake. Why is there no water at all? Why does it feel like we are stepping on a mountain?" Wu Zhongtian was suspicious.
Ye Fan said, "Everything we see is mostly fabricated and not real. Unless one cultivates the Heavenly Eye, it will be hard to see through it."
They carefully followed behind Ye Fan and seemed to be following his footprints. After advancing for a quarter of an hour, they had traveled quite a distance. The mist became even thicker.
Suddenly, they felt that something was wrong. They couldn't say what was going on. It was too quiet along the way, and there was a strange aura.
"Damn it, there's one more person among us!" Pang Bo was scared.
When these words were spoken, everyone's hearts trembled. There were clearly eight people, but now there was a ninth person following them.
The mist was so thick that they couldn't see clearly even if they stood very close. A humanoid creature was standing among them, and they didn't know which one was the latecomer.
At this moment, everyone's scalps went numb. There was actually one more person. This wasn't a good sign. They could vaguely smell a rotting smell.
"Heng!"
Ji Haoyue snorted coldly. A string of blood beads shot out from his finger. It was like a rainbow that illuminated the mist and penetrated through.
A mournful cry like the wailing of a malicious ghost rang out. The humanoid creature in the mist was shot through, and it staggered and fled, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
However, that terrifying cry was still echoing out, causing one's hair to stand on end. It was like the curse of a thousand-year-old malicious ghost, cold and venomous.
"That creature is very strong, not weaker than a first-layer immortal. Brother Haoyue actually scared it away with a flick of your finger." Ye Fan was shocked.
"Divine blood can destroy evil, it's just a rotting corpse. Actually, the saint blood in your body can also be used, you can turn it into ashes, "Ji Haoyue said.
Ji Ziyue was very sharp. Her big black eyes swiveled as she mumbled, "Why do I feel that it doesn't seem like we entered the immortal pond? If not, why would there be such a dead spirit?"
"It's not strange to have these on the way to the immortal ascension land," Ye Fan explained.
An hour later, they walked out of the mist. In front of them, the sunset glow was like blood, dyeing the sky red. At the same time, there was also a faint golden glow.
"What is this place? When we were observing the terrain from the outside, we didn't see such a landscape at all." Li Heishui frowned.
"This is the true appearance of this place. Everything we saw before was just an illusion," Ye Fan said.
The terrain here was extraordinary. The mountains were majestic and the valleys were vast. Draconic qi lingered around the mountains, and it was a magnificent scene.
"Bang!"
The ground in front of them split open, and a tattered wooden coffin appeared. A huge hand covered in red hair stretched out and crawled out.
"What is this place? Is it really a place of immortal ascension? Why did another dead spirit appear? This is simply like a burial ground." Jiang Huairen felt goosebumps.
This was a huge corpse. Under the blood-colored setting sun, it looked extremely horrifying. Its eyes were lifeless as it closed in on them.
With a flick of Ye Fan's finger, eight or nine golden beads of blood flew out and landed on its body. With a chi la sound, golden flames ignited, burning it until it howled miserably as it flew away.
In the distance, there were more than ten Silver Winged Yakshas. Their bodies seemed to be cast from silver and flickered with metallic luster. However, they didn't dare to approach. They stared fixedly at Ye Fan.
After advancing for a short while, an enormous mountain appeared in front of them. At the top was a pool of water that flickered with radiance under the setting sun. It flowed with a dreamy radiance.
"Immortal pool, it must be the Immortal Transformation Pool!" The others were all excited.
"Yi, something's not right. Look, there's another wondrous place not far away." Pang Bo pointed to the other side.
Beside it was a great peak, and on it was an ancient cave that took in and spat out draconic qi. It stirred one's mind. There were two banana trees that were who knew how many tens of thousands of years old. Green multicolored light flickered as they grew on both sides of the ancient cave.
"Qinling Mountains' ancient dragon cave!" Ye Fan was shaken. The third generation Yuan Taoist Master might be buried inside.
