The old crane came out of seclusion with a ruddy face and snow-white hair. It was in high spirits and its eyes were filled with shock as it stared at the ninety-nine dragon mountains.
Ye Fan was shocked. Was he really going to find an earth immortal? Was this the place that Chi Song Zi had been searching for his entire life? Was there a secret and opportunity to become an immortal?
The old crane said that although the ancient landscape had changed a lot, it was still similar to some places in the present world and could be found in reality.
He had heard of some ancient secrets that the ninety-nine dragon mountains definitely existed. This map could not be fake, but it had to be measured against the mountains in reality.
"Look, doesn't one of them look similar to the Yellow River? The terrain is like a dragon that surges into the sea. It's vigorous and majestic."
Ye Fan and the Third Valley Master were stunned. How did the ancient dragon mountains relate to the Yellow River? This was a little too far away.
The old crane carved the ancient Yellow River on the ground. It was very different from the current one because it had changed its path countless times over the past thousands of years.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was no Yellow River on the ground. A powerful person extracted a dragon's vein from the ground and moved the dragon mountains away. He opened up the Yellow River Ancient Path so that the raging water flowed east into the sea."
Ye Fan was stunned. The Yellow River Ancient Path was opened up by someone and there was a dragon's vein there. Someone extracted it? This was shocking.
He bent down and compared the Yellow River Ancient Path with the ninety-nine dragon's veins. It really did look similar. Everyone was shocked and even felt that it was somewhat absurd.
"This is just one dragon mountain. The map shows that there are ninety-nine ancient dragon mountains gathered together. It's vast and majestic, but it's still far from enough."
This was what Ye Fan said but he still did not believe it. There were so many dragon mountains gathered together and they were all real dragons. Even the Big Dipper Galaxy did not have them!
Moreover, he had heard from the Lingbao Cult Master and the Third Valley Master that in ancient times, the earth was vast and far larger than it was now. For some reason, it was getting smaller and smaller.
If this was true, just the dragon mountain that the Yellow River Ancient Path was on was tens of thousands of miles long. If it was as they said, it could easily be hundreds of thousands of miles long.
"Not only has Earth changed, but even the entire Solar System has shrunk. It wasn't like this in the past," said Old Crane.
Ye Fan pondered. Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains coexisted and coiled around each other. It really was a bit unrealistic. Just how astonishing would that be? Forget about everything else, just this kind of terrain itself could produce inconceivable things.
Moreover, it was definitely an unparalleled existence since ancient times. Even the ancient emperors had to find a worthy opponent, and most of them were no match for it!
"That's right. Could it be that the combination of these ninety-nine Dragon Mountains is so heaven-defying that an Earth Immortal was born?"
Ye Fan was only a step away from becoming the Yuan Taoist Master. Whether it was strength or experience, he was unparalleled in the world. No one in the world could compare to him. But the more he understood, the more shocked he was.
The old crane insisted that the Yellow River Ancient Path should be one of the Dragon Mountains. Because the shape was very similar, it should be one of the Dragon Mountains on the map.
"This is going to be interesting. If the Ancient Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains really existed, anything can be believed." Ye Fan muttered to himself.
They decided to immediately head for the Yellow River Ancient Path. They would go upstream from the lower reaches and search for the other ninety-eight True Dragon Mountains.
"You're saying that it's hidden in the vast ancient formation and not in the mortal world, but can be found with the current mountains and rivers?" asked Ye Fan.
The old crane nodded with a solemn expression. It hadn't come out of seclusion for hundreds of years just to cultivate. Now, it had personally come to the Yellow River Ancient Path.
They wanted to find an unknown region and the sealed ancient mountain range. Along the way, they visited mountains and rivers and found many historical sites. They dug out many broken tablets from the mud of the Yellow River in hopes of finding something.
However, there was no major discovery. There was nothing on both sides of the Yellow River. There was no sealed ancient Dragon Mountain at all.
"Land, come out." When they came to a place where the Yellow River surged, Sun Wukong chanted an incantation and captured an old man.
Ye Fan's eyes stared blankly. He was shocked and had a feeling that he had come to the Age of Legends.
The old crane explained that the Yellow River Ancient Path was where the Ancient Dragon Mountains were. There were endless remnants of draconic energy. Some humans and demons with cultivation would naturally attach themselves to this place.
The land that the third valley master had captured was actually a pangolin with a bit of cultivation. It transformed into land and cultivated here.
The monkey interrogated it in detail. This land lord was so weak that he explained everything in detail. Since his ancestors were here, he had indeed heard of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, but he had never seen them.
After that, they went all the way up. They passed through Ningxia and Gansu, following the Yellow River Ancient Path. There were many places where the Yellow River hadn't flowed for thousands of years and had long changed its course.
Along the way, they captured mountain deities and lands in the uninhabited area several times. They searched for the most majestic ancient Dragon Mountains, but they didn't find much.
Ye Fan couldn't help but shake his head. This kind of terrain really didn't exist. Otherwise, it would really be nature-defying. He couldn't even imagine what would be born.
However, just as he was wavering, the old crane found traces of demons. A section of the Yellow River coincided with the ancient path. He said that there was a great demon inside and that they might be able to find something.
The monkey entered the water and was beaten up by someone. Demonic energy surged, and the third valley master almost suffered a great loss.
The old crane attacked. Now, he was a cultivator at the great completion of the Dragon Transformation Realm. His cultivation was profound and he was one of the best among the cult masters at that time. If the great mediums didn't appear, no one could compete with him.
"Boom!"
Waves rushed into the sky and an ancient dragon soared up. Its strength was actually comparable to his. It scolded angrily, questioning why his underwater residence was disturbed and his cultivation was disturbed.
This was an old dragon of the Yellow River. It had cultivated for more than seven hundred years. Since ancient times, its ancestors had always lived here and cultivated in the underwater residence.
The Great Valley Master's explanation finally calmed the old dragon's anger. The waves of the Yellow River calmed down, and he invited them to sit in the underwater residence.
This was a water palace without any fancy decorations. It was simple and plain. Everything was made of stone and blocked the water from entering. It was built on a piece of silt.
Strands of dragon energy gathered underground. The old dragon's bloodline used this to cultivate and rarely appeared in the world. It wasn't like what people thought, demons didn't need to stir up trouble.
He invited the three to sit down and talked about some ancient past events. Although he didn't know much, it was all passed down by his ancestors. Finally, the three of them found an important clue.
The old dragon said that as early as ancient times, there was indeed a saying of ninety-nine Dragon Mountains. Moreover, there used to be an ancient path that intersected with the Yellow River. It was vast and boundless, but it was later moved away by someone with unparalleled power.
The few of them were dumbfounded. There really was such a saying. The old dragon confirmed that there was one that still existed today and said its name — the Taihang Mountains.
"Isn't this a little ridiculous?" Even the monkey was a little dumbfounded.
The old dragon heard this and revealed a thoughtful expression. Then, it said that the Taihang Mountains were indeed a dragon mountain. Under the dragon energy, it gave birth to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the north.
"I once heard that the Taihang Dragon Vein was ten thousand times bigger than this in ancient times. Can you imagine how long it is?" the monkey said.
"Even the ancient path of the Yellow River was formed by moving a dragon mountain. What's so shocking about the Taihang Mountains being moved?" the old dragon said calmly.
Ye Fan rubbed his chin. This was too shocking. If the Taihang Dragon Vein was one of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, then how magnificent would the real scene of dragons dancing in the air be?!
The old dragon only knew of one of the ancient dragon mountains and didn't know the others. According to him, it involved an ancient taboo issue and couldn't be looked into. Otherwise, there would be a great disaster.
This was something passed down by his ancestors. Before leaving, he repeatedly warned the three to stop before going too far and not to look into anything. They didn't even dare to touch the ancient sages, otherwise, there would be an unexpected disaster.

Was this what Chi Song Zi was looking for?
Ye Fan and the others followed the ancient path and entered the Sichuan region from Gansu. They were about to enter Qinghai and reach the source of the Yellow River.
However, in the Sichuan region, they found a breakthrough clue. They met an old turtle on the ancient path of the Yellow River. Although its cultivation wasn't very scary and it had just evolved into the Dragon Realm, its lifespan was very long. It had lived for more than nine hundred years.
The advantage of its race was obvious.
They talked for a while and learned another shocking thing from the old turtle. Their race also used the dragon energy of the ancient path of the Yellow River to cultivate, so they also knew some ancient anecdotes.
This time, it actually involved the Qilian Mountain Range. It was moved from this place. That was a great dragon from the Archaic era.
Ye Fan and the others compared it seriously and couldn't help but be silent. It really was similar to one of the ninety-nine ancient dragon mountains. This was a bit scary.
"In ancient times, the dragon vein of Qilian Mountains was millions of miles long. This is really shocking!"
The old turtle told them a secret that shocked them. It said that the ninety-nine dragon mountains were a taboo topic in ancient times. They couldn't talk about it and no one dared to look into it.
Ye Fan and the others said goodbye to the old turtle and entered Qinghai. In the end, they arrived at the source of the Yellow River and stood at the foot of a snowy mountain. They were lost in thought and found nothing else.
"Why do I feel like we accidentally touched something we shouldn't be looking into …" the old crane muttered to itself.
Ye Fan already had a premonition that they had touched upon a forbidden secret. If the dragon vein of Taihang Mountains and Qilian Mountains were millions of miles long, then it would be heaven-defying if the ninety-nine dragon mountains were intertwined together!
It was a bit conservative to say that an immortal was born!
"Let's compare it seriously and take a closer look." They combined the nine pieces of ancient jade together and then carved all the famous dragon mountains in the world. They compared them one by one, and the more they looked, the more shocked they became.
"This is the dragon vein of Hengduan Mountain."
"This is the dragon vein of Tianshan Mountain."
They felt a chill run down their spines. The terrain of the famous dragon veins in the world could be found among the ninety-nine ancient dragon mountains. They could compare them one by one.
On the ancient jade, the largest of the ninety-nine dragon mountains was located in the center. It took up nearly a quarter of the area and was the most vast.
Ye Fan and the others compared it seriously and found that the end of the mountain was the same as the current Kunlun mountain range. They almost overlapped.
"Most of Kunlun's area is hidden in the ancient formation. Moreover, the mountains and divine mountains in the world have shrunk by many times, "the old crane said.
They were shocked. What happened in ancient times? The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains were originally intertwined and intertwined with each other. The terrain was complicated. Who separated them?
What kind of extravagance was this!
It could be said to shock the past, present, and future. This was a heaven-defying method.
The more they thought about it, the more terrified they felt. The mountains and rivers in the world were almost arranged. The paths of the dragon veins were not like this!
"This is too terrifying. This is a heaven-defying method that will shock the past, present, and future. We really accidentally touched upon a taboo …"
