The belly of the mountain was very big, and there were traces of ancient spatial formations. This was a cave opened up with great magic power. They walked around the snake slough and headed deeper into the depths.
One had to admit that the celestial serpent primogenitor was extremely frightening. Its body was astonishingly large, and even though it was only a layer of skin, it still made one's blood run cold.
Its entire body was lustrous white, and each scale was several meters long. It was as if they were cast from pure white divine gold and flickered with an ice-cold metallic luster. A few wisps of might seeped out as if it could collapse the heaven and earth.
Komatsu was a little dizzy. It compared its height and then compared it to this ancient celestial serpent. It was incomparably discouraged, and at the same time timidly and fearfully, it tightly grabbed onto the corner of Ye Fan's clothes as they moved forward.
Ye Fan didn't say anything. The ancient demonic god primogenitor of this lineage had a well-deserved reputation. Even after its slough was sealed, it still had such an aura. There was definitely a period when it was unrivaled in the world.
This path wasn't very long. Before long, they entered a hall constructed from ice crystals that wouldn't melt for ten thousand years.
This cave was opened in ancient times. There were divine pearls in the ice crystals that illuminated this place brilliantly and brightly. Powerful demonic qi flowed about.
"Dao brother, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling." Bo Yi invited them to take a seat and had people serve tea. They were all luminous cups that flowed with sparkling light.
Ye Fan's expression was calm as he pondered silently. Was the mystery of the real and fake Pang Bo related to the Celestial Qilin Clan?
"Brother Bo Yi, one doesn't visit a temple without a cause. I came here to consult you on some questions," he said after serious consideration.
"Brother Ye, you're too polite. Ask away," Bo Yi said straightforwardly.
Ye Fan said, "Back then, the matter of the nine dragons pulling the coffin shook the entire world. Could you tell me what you've investigated and the backgrounds of those who disappeared?"
Bo Yi's expression changed. The matter of the nine dragons pulling the coffin was of great importance and caused a huge storm back then. Later on, Mount Tai almost turned into a battlefield, and even great divine arts practitioners were provoked.
He thought about it and said, "Back then, all the sects took action, but they couldn't find out the backgrounds of those people. There was only one family that was suspected to have the blood of ancient demonic gods flowing in their bodies."
"Oh, which family is it? Can Brother Bo Yi tell me in detail?" Ye Fan asked.
"That family's surname seems to be Pang. I don't have a deep impression of it. At that time, it was my ninth brother who was in charge of investigating these people," Bo Yi said.
He saw that Ye Fan was very concerned, so he began to explain in detail. He said that among the ancient Fey God orthodoxies, Myriad Demon Valley had been the fastest to act back then. Someone might have entered the Pang Clan to investigate something, but in the end, nothing came of it.
Ye Fan nodded. His Divine Sense was so powerful that he could sense the fluctuations of his psyche. He wasn't lying. After hearing this, he immediately bid farewell.
"Hey, Brother Ye, you've just arrived, how can you leave? I still want to learn from you." Bo Yi urged him to stay.
Ye Fan thought about it and decided not to leave immediately. He also wanted to learn more about the Myriad Demon Valley. As a fellow Demon God, he should know more about it.
"I still don't know which ancient orthodoxy Brother Ye inherited from, and where exactly did he come from. Could you tell me?" Bo Yi inquired.
"I'm a rogue cultivator who cultivated on a nameless mountain. I obtained some ancient techniques from the stone walls, but I don't know which orthodoxy it is. Recently, I've been quiet and wanted to move, so I came out to take a walk," Ye Fan said.
"Dao brother, you had a great opportunity. Could it be the orthodoxy of an ancient Sacred Emperor?" Bo Yi ordered people to send over delicacies and fine wine to invite them to a banquet.
He said that the Celestial Qilin Clan had been cultivating bitterly and didn't go out. They wanted to endure through this Age of Dharma Ending and wait for the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to become abundant again. They rarely participated in the affairs of the outside world, especially in the past few years. They had been sealing the mountain, and no one had gone out.
"I've heard that a Celestial Demon Physique appeared in the Celestial Qilin Clan. He's a heaven-bestowed genius. Isn't he going out?" Ye Fan smiled.
"That was a matter of a few years ago. It's only now that people have guessed that it's a Celestial Demon Physique. In fact, it's a pity to have such a physique in this Age of Dharma Ending."
Bo Yi looked at Komatsu several times and stared at the little bell on its neck. It was sparkling and translucent, and there was a small stone Buddha inside.
"I wonder what kind of magic tool this is? Can I take a look at it?"
Komatsu peeled a bunch of pine nuts and ate them with relish. When it heard Qin Mu's words, it was very magnanimous and handed it over.
Bo Yi carefully received it and looked at it a few times. "What material is this made of? It's so heavy. Dao brother, how did you obtain this magic tool?"
"I found it on the nameless mountain. It looks exquisite and exquisite, so I gave it to this little fellow," Ye Fan said.
"Seems like brother really had a great opportunity. I believe you must have cultivated a great divine art," Bo Yi said.
"Not at all. I've been stuck in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm for a hundred years. I don't know when I'll be able to ascend to the legendary immortal foundation. I yearn for it but can't reach it." Ye Fan sighed.
Bo Yi was moved. "You have a chance to ascend to the immortal foundation. Dao brother is indeed extraordinary. Given your current cultivation, you can be considered a great divine art practitioner. Could it be that you participated in the battle on Mount Tai back then?"
"I didn't. At that time, I was still bitterly cultivating in the mountains." Ye Fan shook his head.
"Ai, an unknown mountain already has a great divine art practitioner like Brother Ye. I believe there must be others. Indeed, there's always a mountain higher than the mountain, and there's always someone stronger." Bo Yi sighed.
Ye Fan shook his head. "I'm merely an unaffiliated Dragon Transformation Secret Realm cultivator. How would I dare to call myself a great divine art practitioner?"
"Brother, you have a chance to ascend to the immortal foundation. The great circle of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is sufficient for you to be called a great divine art practitioner." Bo Yi sighed, filled with yearning.
After that, he spoke of a matter. He wanted to ask for Ye Fan's help. He said that with such great divine arts, he would definitely be of great help and he would definitely reward him generously.
"Oh, I wonder what's the matter?" Ye Fan asked.
Bo Yi replied, "Dao brother, you must know that since ancient times, there's a treasure whose name shook the entire Middle Earth. It can regenerate flesh and bones from the dead, and it has the ability to bring the dead back to life."
"You're talking about ginseng?" Ye Fan was astonished.
"That's right. But it's not an ordinary ginseng. It's a real ginseng with a human form. It's been around for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and it's almost comparable to the legendary immortal spiritual medicine. "Bo Yi said.
There were three treasures in the Northeast, and the first was ginseng. Since ancient times, there were countless ginseng diggers outside the pass, and it was the emperor's favorite tribute.
Nowadays, although there were many artificially grown ginseng that were almost comparable to a big radish. But the real top-grade wild ginseng was still very expensive. The starting price would easily be millions of dollars.
The ginseng that Bo Yi was talking about was naturally not an ordinary ginseng. It was a real spiritual ginseng that could even be called a demigod medicine. It was even more precious than an 80,000-year-old king of medicine.
It was said that this old ginseng was the ancestral ginseng of Changbai Mountain, and also the ancestral ginseng of the Northeast. Although it couldn't merge with Dao like the immortal spiritual medicine, and couldn't fly into the sky or burrow into the earth, it could move by borrowing the Qi of the earth. Since ancient times, no one could dig it up.
"My tribe has always lived in the Primordial Dragon Cave of Changbai Mountain, so we have the best understanding of the terrain outside the pass. Recently, we've already figured out the movements of the ancestral ginseng. Maybe we can capture this stalk of demigod medicine that has existed in this world since ancient times."
He wanted to ask for Ye Fan's help and borrow his great divine art. He said that if he succeeded, he would definitely reward him handsomely, even if it was just half a stalk.
"Earth has already entered the Age of End of Days, so is there still such a divine herb?" Ye Fan smiled.
Bo Yi nodded his head. He said that they had long wanted to make a move, but they didn't have a divine arts practitioner to help them. They were afraid that if they failed, they would forever lose the chance to capture the demigod medicine.
That was because this kind of spiritual thing was the most vigilant. Ever since their tribe had failed once two thousand years ago, they had finally found another chance with great difficulty.
Ye Fan and the rest entered the world of ice and snow, walking towards an uninhabited area. It was definitely not a place that mortals could enter. It was extremely primitive, and there were ancient trees that were thousands of years old everywhere.
"Look, this is the ginseng pit. It had appeared here before, and there's still a lingering fragrance," Bo Yi pointed.
In this ancient forest that was unknown how vast it was, they snuck several hundred miles before Bo Yi found a few holes under the snow.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. This was indeed the fragrance of a spirit medicine that was hard to find in this world, surpassing that of a medicine king. Just the lingering fragrance was refreshing. Komatsu wrinkled his purple diamond-like nose and sniffed it in an intoxicated manner. In the end, he fell into the ginseng pit with a plop and was instantly embarrassed.
"How about it, Dao brother? Can we cooperate?" Bo Yi asked, asking for his help again.
"Alright." Ye Fan nodded his head.
"We've set up a few spell formations here, but unfortunately, this Ancestral Tree is connected to the veins of the earth. It's impossible to lock it in place. This time, with you here, Fellow Daoist, things will be easier." Bo Yi led Ye Fan and the others another 250 kilometers.
This made Guo Zhen speechless. The real Changbai Mountain was far from this vast. Who knew how big this no-man's land that was surrounded by ancient formations was.
However, as they walked, Bo Yi suddenly disappeared into thin air. Only Ye Fan and the other two were left in the vast snowy mountain.
Ye Fan called Komatsu, who was jumping around on the ancient pine and playing in the snow, over. Then, he asked Guo Zhen to walk beside him.
Guo Zhen was bewildered and said, "There's an intoxicating fragrance of the ancestral ginseng. We should be near the place where it appears. I heard from the elders that the places where this kind of spiritual old ginseng appears are the most dangerous. It's either guarded by something or it's a forbidden land. We can't have walked into a forbidden zone, can we? "
Ye Fan said, "It's a forbidden zone, but it has nothing to do with the ancestral ginseng. Bo Yi finally couldn't hold back and attacked us."
"This … what should we do? Can we break through it?" Guo Zhen had always been worried. He was afraid that he would come into conflict with the demonic god lineage of the Primordial Dragon Cave.
"There's an ancient killing formation here. It's definitely not a problem to trap a Divine Lord. Even a Dao Executioner might die with a grievance if they aren't careful," Ye Fan said.
"What? It's that terrifying." Guo Zhen felt a chill down his spine.
"It's fine." Ye Fan reassured him. At his level, there was no need to bicker with cultivators of a lower realm. However, if he really provoked them, he definitely wouldn't be lenient.
Several dozen kilometers away, a group of people gathered in a primitive mountain forest. They were all wearing qilin clothes that flickered with cold light and surged with killing intent.
"Is it worth it? That person's cultivation is very powerful. If he rushes out, there'll be great trouble," a middle-aged man with black hair like a waterfall said.
"Fourth Brother, don't worry. It's very worth it. Did you guys see that? That purple squirrel's bell was forged from Daluo Silver Essence. It's the same material as the primogenitor's weapon. It's hard to find in this world! "Bo Yi sneered.
He said that he had absolute confidence in killing Ye Fan. Once that killing formation was activated, even ancient great divine beings could be killed, let alone the people of the present.
"Are you sure he's really in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and not someone even more terrifying?" Bo Yuan was still worried.
Bo Yi nodded and said, "The reason I lured him into the Ice Crystal Palace was to test his cultivation. There were four colors flashing on that divine gate, it was definitely the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. The ancient killing formation could easily eliminate him."
"This is still a bit rash. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unpredictable." Another person said.
"Do you guys know why I insist on attacking so ruthlessly? It's because he's someone who went with the nine dragons pulling the coffin twenty years ago. He actually returned miraculously. It's only been twenty years. He was just a little mortal back then, yet now, he's already in the Secret Realm of the Outer Fringe. If we search his soul and find out the whole story, our clan will definitely ascend to the top! " Bo Yi said coldly, "We can only blame a little mortal like him for having such a great fortune. His return this time is only to complete his mission and help us achieve our goals. He's only sacrificed himself for nothing!"
