After Duan De stepped on the dog poop, he spun around eighteen times on the spot. He was in a berserk state, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. He was almost crazed, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
He stared fiercely at Ye Fan, and said, "Did that damned dog follow us in?!"
Back then, the large black dog was the only master who could make him suffer, clamoring to take him as a human pet. They had met on several narrow paths, but he had never gained the upper hand.
The Black Emperor was very disloyal, clamoring and biting wildly when he had the advantage, but when the situation was bad, he fled, not hesitating to abandon Ye Fan as cannon fodder.
The terrain of this area was very complicated, and the ancient road was deep and serene. There were dust-covered divine pearls flickering with dim splendor, illuminating the path ahead.
"With my many years of experience, you've stepped on a pile of dog poop from more than ten years ago." The old blind man touched a sore spot, purposely provoking Fatty Duan.
Duan De just calmed down, then stomped his feet, cursing the old blind man for being a bastard. However, he had to admit that those were "traces" left behind a long time ago.
Ye Fan carefully searched this area, feeling puzzled. Could it be that the Black Emperor hadn't returned, and these were all fur left behind?
"Where did that dog come from? Don't tell me it's not the one that followed by your side in the past. Even if it turned into ashes, I would recognize its bones. How did it stay here?" Duan De said.
"It went out from here," Ye Fan said. He had long since guessed the large black dog's origins, and now seeing the traces of its appearance, he was even more certain.
"It can't be an archaic being, right? I knew it wasn't a thing long ago, so it must belong to the same type," Duan De said.
"Why don't you think it's Great Emperor Wu Shi?" Ye Fan said with a smile.
When these words were spoken, Duan De staggered. He really began to ponder, revealing an expression of bewilderment.
"Perhaps there really is such a possibility. I've seen the formation patterns laid down by it, and they have the mysteries of great ancient emperors …" Duan De was suspicious.
Old Blind gave him a slap on the back of his head and said, "If Great Emperor Wu Shi was really like that, would he have a supreme reputation? How could he be called that? He would definitely be called Shameless and not Wu Shi."
Duan De said, "I remember now. I once dug out some jade slips from a great tomb in the Eastern Wilderness, and they recorded a lot of messy things."
The jade slip was messy, like some unofficial history. What was recorded wasn't orthodox at all. It involved many people from the past, and there were even bits and pieces of information about ancient great emperors.
There was a paragraph of text that was very messy. It said that Emperor Wu Shi was world-shaking, like a god, but he also had a very human side. In his later years, he saw a little stray dog on the verge of death, so he used an ancient technique to save it.
"F * ck!" Ye Fan couldn't help but spit out two words that he hadn't said since he came to this world. His jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He had long since speculated that the Black Emperor was related to the Purple Mountain and Wu Shi, but he didn't think it was a little stray dog. He thought it was some heavenly dog that had gained intelligence.
"Damn, if we knew it was related to the Purple Mountain, we would have made it reveal its true form long ago." Fatty Duan was also stunned. He had never thought that it was actually a dog from hundreds of thousands of years ago that had followed Wu Shi!
Old Blind was also dumbfounded. He murmured, "It's that little stray dog that Great Emperor Wu Shi picked up in his later years? It's unbelievable that it has survived with us until now. "
A piece of unofficial history and a small paragraph of details revealed the origins of the Black Emperor. The three of them were all stunned, and they pondered for a long time.
Needless to say, Wu Shi's dog definitely knew many great secrets. It might have even read the Wu Shi Scriptures. This was practically a living immortal treasury!
Why was the large black dog able to live for hundreds of thousands of years, even longer than the great ancient emperors? This was not a mystery that was difficult to solve, and it could be easily figured out.
From ancient times until now, apart from those that were naturally born with Divine Origin Fluid, only great ancient emperors could refine it. It was used to seal living beings, and it could make them immortal for hundreds of thousands of years.
However, great ancient emperors could not seal themselves. Their blood and qi were too powerful, and they could pierce through the heavens. Divine Origin Fluid was completely ineffective against them, and there was no divine object in this world that could suppress them.
After thinking for a while, they could understand that the Black Emperor had been sealed by Wu Shi, and had only come into the world today.
By now, everything about the Black Emperor was no longer a secret, and its origins could be easily deduced. However, it still made the three of them sigh.
This was a dog that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and in the end, it had followed the great human emperor — Wu Shi!
"Towards the followers of Wu Shi, I should look up to them with reverence, but this dog, I want nothing more than to stew it alive!" Fatty Duan said through clenched teeth.
"Did something really happen to the Black Emperor? Didn't he stay in the Purple Mountain for the past dozen years?" Ye Fan was worried.
The blind old man said, "With my many years of experience, he came back. There was a pile of 'marks' from seven or eight years ago, and the grave robber almost got lucky again."
Hearing this, Duan De immediately jumped up again.
In front of them, there was a small pond formed by the milk of the earth. It was only a few feet long, and the color was milky and sparkling. A sweet fragrance wafted into the air. There were a few strands of black and shiny dog fur here, left behind from many years ago.
"He came back, so he definitely didn't die. However, it seems like he hasn't come out for several years. Where did he go?" Ye Fan was suspicious.
They continued forward. Without the deterrence of the ancient beings, the danger in the belly of the mountain decreased rapidly, and many places could be unimpeded.
Not long after, they came to a secluded area where huge rocks were lying in disarray. Ye Fan was shocked. "This place …"
He saw the patterns left behind by the Yuan Taoist Master, and he had once sealed strange stones here. Soon, he found an eye of fortune!
"Is there really an eye of fortune in this world?" Ye Fan stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to say a word.
There was a black hole in the pile of rocks, but it was only the size of a human head. It looked like an eye, and it connected to the depths of the earth. Occasionally, colorful mist would surge up, making people feel comfortable.
"What's an eye of fortune?" Duan De asked with a fervent look in his eyes.
"It's a place of fortune in the source. I don't know the specifics, and there are only vague records in the Book of Origin. It's said that it could give birth to gods in ancient times." Ye Fan's expression was solemn.
"No way, that's so strange. Doesn't this mean we're going to get rich and obtain an eye of fortune?" Duan De laughed wildly.
"You're thinking too much. This eye of fortune has already dried up, and all its essence has been sucked dry," Ye Fan said.
"What? Who is it? Is it that dog?" Fatty Duan's expression immediately collapsed.
Ye Fan carefully observed the eye of fortune, and his expression sank. "It's the ancient race's heavenly prince!"
"What? How could it be him?" The blind old man couldn't remain calm. Even he often paid attention to this heaven-defying divine child's movements. That was because his aptitude was too high. In just a dozen years of cultivation, he had surpassed others by a thousand years!
Compared to the ancient emperors, he was even better. All the ancient races said that he was the son of a god, and that was how it should be.
"Back then, the Yuan Taoist Master brought out a strange stone from the Purple Mountain and placed it in the Jade Lake. In the end, I cut it out and found a divine egg. This place has its aura."
Everyone was stunned. In the endless years before the ancient times, the name of the Undying Heavenly Emperor resounded through the heavens and earth. He was worshipped by all races, and everyone had to worship him.
His son was naturally known as the son of a god!
One didn't even need to think about it to know that the heavenly prince possessed the most terrifying bloodline. Now, he even absorbed the eye of fortune. This made everyone's hearts sink.
"The sons of the ancient emperors, every single one of them are exceptional figures from past to present, and in the end, they are only half a step away from confirming the dao. They possess incomparable talent and terrifyingly powerful bloodline power. If it wasn't for the fact that they were born in the same era as their emperor father, they wouldn't be able to ascend into the heavens!" The blind old man said.
After speaking, he gave Ye Fan a look. His meaning was self-evident. Even if the divine body reached the great success stage, there would still be enemies. There was more than a single ancient emperor's bloodline now, and they all avoided their father's generation. They would definitely shock the world.
This was especially true for the heavenly prince. Now that they found out that he absorbed the eye of fortune, it was even more frightening. He would most likely become the second Undying Heavenly Emperor.
"The other ancient emperor's bloodlines like Huang Xudao and Fire Qilin are also unimaginable. Their fathers most likely left behind something similar to the eye of fortune," said the blind old man.
Then, he patted Ye Fan's shoulder and said, "As a divine body, even if they reach the great success stage, they will still have enemies. Not a single one of those ancient emperor's bloodlines are lambs, but rather divine lions lying dormant."
Ye Fan suddenly asked, "The archaic emperors had long realized that as long as they were alive, their sons would never be able to confirm the dao. It was because there was only one emperor in this world, and as such, they were sealed into the present world. Did our human race's great emperor not foresee this step? Did he not think about the future generations? Did he not leave behind the most powerful son to be born in the future? "
"This … is hard to say!" The blind old man shook his head.
"I know some secret information about this. In the past, there was an imperial prince who appeared and died in the darkness chaos, quelling the great chaos." Duan De suddenly said.
"This …" The others sighed softly and didn't continue.
The blind old man divined, Duan De looked at geomancy, and Ye Fan explored the origin veins. Along the way, nothing unexpected happened. They saw a few dead ancient creatures along the way, but nothing else.
Weng!
Suddenly, at this time, the Heaven Devouring Evil Jar rang and began to shake on its own without being activated. The lid and the jar connected and hung above the heads of the people.
"What is going on?" The blind old man was shocked.
This jar was different from other emperor weapons. It seemed to have a life of its own and surpassed the understanding of ordinary people. It was known as one of the most terrifying emperor weapons since ancient times.
"If there is a weapon that can resist the Wu Shi Bell Wave, it is none other than this," said Duan De. He carefully observed the surroundings to capture any abnormalities.
"It's here …" Ye Fan found this place familiar. He had come here before. In the past, he had hidden here to avoid a group of terrifying archaic creatures.
This was an open land, a plaza, and also a terrifying stone hall. Upon closer inspection, one would be shocked to find that the hanging stone wall above was like a large bell.
"The Wu Shi Bell!"
"It's hidden in the stone. It's so huge. I really want to see its true appearance!"
Duan De and the blind old man were horrified. If they accidentally entered, the bell might ring endlessly and kill everything!
"Let's go around first. We must not let the bell ring," said Duan De. The blind old man also nodded. Only Ye Fan was lost in thought. The Wu Shi Bell was the most important part of this trip.
