The Eastern Wasteland, as the name implied, was located in the east, vast and boundless. It was known for its great wastelands, and this was where its name came from. It was divided into the southern region, central region, and other places.
This was a great wasteland in the southern region. The land was boundless, the mountains and rivers vast, primitive forests dense. There was no sign of human habitation within hundreds of thousands of li, and few people set foot here.
Ye Fan and the others entered the barren mountains, and after traveling for who knew how many li, they searched for Immortal Ascension Valley according to the mountain river diagram they obtained from the Ji Family.
This place that had been deserted for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years had many rare medicinal herbs. If they were lucky, they might be able to dig up rare precious medicines with extremely ancient medicinal ages.
Up ahead, a mushroom cloud rose, and then streaks of black heavenly tribulation descended, submerging a swamp. A large black crocodile appeared there, covering the sky like a dark cloud.
"What? That's a dao severing tribulation!" The Black Emperor was shocked. Up ahead was a formidable crocodile. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it had severed its own shackles, about to enter the king realm.
No one expected to see this kind of existence so soon after entering the great wastelands. This strange beast was about to reach a height that many sect masters couldn't even reach in their entire lives.
No one approached and watched from the distance. This black divine crocodile roared towards the sky, swallowing and spitting out light, doing everything it could to resist. The surrounding mountain ridges all collapsed, and the swamp was also evaporated, becoming hard ground.
Two hours later, the heavenly tribulation became more and more terrifying. In the end, with a loud hong sound, a black waterfall poured down. The large crocodile released a miserable cry, and then its body exploded.
"What a pity, the heavenly tribulation will disappear soon. It failed, and in the end, its body and spirit will both be destroyed." The monkey sighed.
The heavenly tribulation suppressed the heavens. The large black crocodile exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere. A small crocodile flew out from its forehead, formed from its divine sense. However, it shattered in the black sky dome.
In the great wastelands, this kind of thing wasn't strange at all. There were often ancient beasts that died after failing to cross tribulation, especially in secret lands that no one had set foot in for tens of thousands of years.
In reality, it was the same for humans. All cultivators had to face it, and quite a few people fell on the path to higher levels, turning into scattered white bones. However, just like this black divine crocodile, no one knew about it.
They followed an ancient path into the primitive mountain forest, passing through many valleys, and then entered the interior of the great wastelands. With a xiu sound, a streak of golden light flashed past.
"What is that?" Ye Fan's expression froze. He felt a chill run down his spine, and he had a bad feeling.
"It looks like a small dragon," Li Tian said. After chasing for a long distance, he didn't find anything.
"It should be a Lightning Bird. They have the fastest speed in the world. If it was a Lightning King, Little Yezi, you might not be able to catch up if you don't improve your Xing Formula," Li Heishui said.
"I hope so." Ye Fan didn't say anything else. They continued forward.
"Pitter patter …"
In the distance, lightning rushed into the heavens. The scene was terrifying. The clouds were all dyed in gold, and waves of noises sounded. They quickly ran forward, crossed a large canyon, flew over two mountains that towered into the clouds, and finally arrived at the scene.
Up ahead, not a single blade of grass grew. There was a stone mountain with streaks of golden electrical radiance curling about it. The scene was extremely mysterious and dazzling.
On the peak of the mountain, there was a huge bird's nest. All sorts of lightning bolts fell from the nest. Tens of thousands of them fell like a golden waterfall.
"What kind of nest is this? It looks like a divine bird's nest. There shouldn't be any immortal treasures, right? The Black Emperor couldn't hold it in any longer. If not for Pang Bo holding him down, he might have already rushed up to snatch the treasure.
"Something's wrong!"
There was a living creature in the bird's nest. They felt the aura of life and flew up into the sky to take a look. They were immediately shocked.
An existence that looked like a phoenix was currently transforming into the Dao. All sorts of electrical radiance were emitted by it. Dao patterns densely covered the nest, and golden lightning coiled around the mountain.
Its body wasn't large, only three meters or so. Its entire body was golden, and of course, if those beautiful tail feathers were included, it would be three to four meters long. It was dazzling and dazzling.
"It can't really be a Demonic Beast with the bloodline of the Phoenix, right? It's actually transforming into the Dao!" The few of them were all stunned.
"This is a Lightning Phoenix. It has an extremely high concentration of phoenix blood." The Black Emperor was experienced and knowledgeable. After observing for a long time, he said.
Lightning Bird was a type of extremely powerful strange bird. It flew extremely fast and looked as if it was made of gold. Its entire body was coiled with electrical radiance, and it was a war pet that many cultivators wanted to tame, but it was extremely difficult. Some of their bloodlines were very special, and their talents were even more terrifying. They had phoenix crowns on their heads, and they were called Phoenix Crown Lightning Birds. Most cultivators had to avoid them when they saw them. As for the king among them, it was even more special. It was called the Lightning Phoenix Bird, and it had undergone the phenomenon of atavism. It possessed a portion of the Phoenix's bloodline, and it was the most powerful among them. It was rumored that once it grew up, even Immortal Three would find it difficult to stop it.
"The so-called rare beasts and strange birds are precisely these kinds of existences." The Black Emperor exclaimed in admiration. Then, he shamelessly boasted that he wanted to take in a beast pet.
There were no immortals in this world. True Dragons, Immortal Phoenixes, and the others were all legendary existences. The highest grade spiritual beast divine bird bloodline was also a creature on the level of the Lightning Phoenix.
"If I raise one and keep it by my side, I might be able to nurture a Demonic Beast Saint in the future." Even Pang Bo was moved. He rubbed his palms together, but in the end, the Black Emperor bit onto his arm, not allowing him to make the first move.
"This Lightning Phoenix has been injured, and it has been forced to transform." The monkey spoke. With his Fiery Eyes, he saw a bloody hole at the back of the Lightning Bird's head. Fresh blood was dripping, and it had pierced through its primordial spirit.
"This is a King Bird that has stepped into Immortal Three, and it is actually injured to this extent. This desolate land is really terrifying. Everyone, be careful." Ye Fan reminded.
Then, he thought of the golden light that disappeared in a flash. Could it really be a Lightning Bird? After all, there was such a powerful bloodline in the mountains.
"Bo!"
A soft sound came from the bird's nest. The Lightning Phoenix's transformation was coming to an end. Its entire body was transforming, and it slowly turned into a rain of light. It was incomparably beautiful.
"Too pitiful. Back then, I raised a Phoenix Crown Lightning Bird, and it was killed by Ji Biyue. Although its bloodline wasn't as strong as this one, it was still very spiritual. It died while crying and pecking my fingers. "Ji Ziyue said softly, as if she was very sad.
"Bo!"
In the end, a blazing light shot out, and the Lightning Bird completely transformed. Its bones were obliterated, its feathers disappeared, and its flesh burned, turning into a rain of light with divinity. It was exceptionally gorgeous.
A cry of Dao rang out, and then all the light was restrained, disappearing from the nest and entering an egg.
"What? There's a golden egg, and the divine rain produced by the transformation flew into it." A few people cried out in surprise.
Then, they quickly rushed up the stone mountain. At this time, the lightning had all disappeared, and this place was exceptionally quiet.
The nest was constructed from various kinds of Spirit Wood, and the inside was covered with soft medicinal herbs. It was full of spiritual power, and in the center was an egg the size of a fist. The golden light was restrained, and it was sparkling and translucent.
"This is the egg of a Lightning Phoenix. One can't even find one or two in the entire world, and now it has been showered by the light rain produced by the transformation of Dao. It can be said to be rare throughout the ages. If there are no accidents, no matter what, it will grow into a Demonic Saint in the future," the large black dog said.
The golden egg emitted strands of dao pattern fluctuations. It could naturally resonate with Dao, and automatically absorb spiritual essence from the surroundings. It was very mysterious.
"Mine!" The large black dog leaped over, and with his body that was as strong as a bull, he pushed his competitor, Pang Bo, to the side.
Of course, Pang Bo wouldn't give up so quickly. He was extraordinarily talented, and was one or two heads taller than ordinary people. With a wave of his arms, he lifted the large black dog up.
"Stop fighting, be careful of damaging the Demonic Saint egg," Ye Fan reminded. This golden egg was indeed extraordinary, and they definitely couldn't lose it.
In the end, they decided to have Ji Ziyue put it away first, and have the large black dog stay far away. Taking it as a beast pet was a small matter, and the most important thing was that they were afraid that it would be eaten. That was because this damned dog had accidentally let slip that this kind of divine egg was great nourishment if eaten, and it could increase a lot of cultivation for no reason.
"F * ck, I was just saying it casually. Is there a need to be so guarded against me?" It was very unwilling.
At the foot of this stone mountain, they saw a few Lightning Phoenix feathers, all stained with blood. Obviously, they were left behind when this king bird that had transformed into Dao returned and struggled on its deathbed.
"How pitiful. I think it only wanted to pass on its power of transforming into Dao to this egg. Everything was for the sake of its child, so it struggled on its deathbed and returned," Ji Ziyue said.
The few of them sighed. That should be the case. What kind of creature had killed it? Ye Fan picked up a tail feather on the ground, and carefully observed it for a long time.
"Let's go. We've already arrived at the center of the great wilderness, and there's still ten or twenty thousand kilometers to go before we reach the Celestial Ascension Valley."
They passed through mountain range after mountain range according to the map. Some mountains towered into the clouds, and the peaks were covered with snow, while others were shrouded in clouds and mist, evergreen all year round.
The wilderness was vast, and the vegetation was lush. Apes cried and tigers roared, and a stone forest appeared in front of them. It was a strange sight.
"We've arrived. According to the map, it's just a few dozen kilometers ahead of us in the stone forest. We've finally found it," Yan Yixi said.
There were all kinds of spiritual birds and rare beasts in this place, and it looked very auspicious. Fragrance wafted in the stone forest, and ginseng, orchids, and other plants grew. Before they even reached the Celestial Valley, they could already see all kinds of auspicious auras.
"No wonder we haven't heard any news about Lin Jia for so many years. So she's hiding in a pure land. She must have reaped great benefits in the Celestial Palace and has been cultivating in seclusion," Pang Bo said.
They followed the stone forest and advanced for more than 15 kilometers. Finally, they saw a magnificent land. Auspicious auras were hazy, immortal cranes were flying, and all kinds of rare beasts were hidden. It was a magnificent scene.
The inside of the valley was like a fairyland. Colorful clouds lingered around it, and the entrance of the valley was connected to the stone forest. There were all kinds of spiritual trees and old herbs growing inside. There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the valley, and there were four ancient words engraved on it: Celestial Ascension Valley.
This was a peaceful and tranquil land. Auspicious light shone, and the fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted in the air. The creatures were not startled by people, and there were no waves. It was peaceful and tranquil.
"This is indeed a rare Dao land. It can calm one's heart and help one comprehend the Dao. This is the reason why many cultivators live in seclusion." Even the Black Emperor praised it. This place could allow one to harmonize with the Dao and clear one's mind.
"It smells so good." Ji Ziyue blinked her large eyes, revealing an intoxicated expression.
"It's an ancient qilan tree, there's a huge patch of it!" The monkey was shocked as he looked into the valley.
There was a patch of ancient trees there, and the fragrance was spreading out. Every single one of them was like a horned dragon, and their branches were coiled around, as if they were wondrous trees that had been carefully nurtured.
Moreover, the most special thing was that the flowers that the ancient trees produced were very magical. They were sparkling and glistening, and they were shaped like little purple qilins. They were extremely special.
"This kind of ancient tree is also very rare in the Primordial Era. Raising more than ten of them is very useful for cultivators. One's state of mind will be incomparably calm, and it will be easy for one to resonate with the Dao." The monkey explained.
This kind of qilan tree's fragrance was very special. After coming into contact with it, it would be difficult for it to dissipate even after a few days. The fragrance would fill one's entire body, and it was the favorite of women in the Primordial Era.
"What a good place!" The few of them sighed in admiration and were about to enter.
However, Ye Fan reached out and stopped them, saying, "Wait a moment."
His expression was grave. He took out that bloodstained lightning phoenix feather and placed it at the tip of his nose, gently fanning it. The fragrance was very faint, but there was indeed a little bit of it.
