There were countless famous mountains and rivers in the Middle Earth. The Nine Bends Yellow River, the towering Kunlun, and the majestic Taihang Mountains were majestic and boundless. It made one exclaim in admiration at the power of nature. It was like the work of the gods.
However, Ye Fan and the others felt a chill down their spines. All of this could have been arranged by the ancients. How great was this? It was unfathomable!
They had found a taboo. There was an inhuman involved. It was shocking. Every ancient dragon mountain was like a chess piece on a chessboard.
Ye Fan was shocked. He could find such a dragon mountain in the Big Dipper Star Region, but there weren't many. It was even more impossible to see more than ten of them together, let alone ninety-nine. It was the limit.
"It's rare to see such a scene in all the ancient stars. Ninety-nine dragon mountains intertwined. It's like a fantasy story!"
This was a myth, a myth that had already been destroyed. It was covered up by someone and not pursued. No one knew why.
The old crane and the Third Valley Master pondered the words of the Yellow River Jiao and the Black Tortoise. They felt a chill run down their spine. The things involved were not something they could pry into.
If this was true, then even if their primogenitor came, he might be crushed to death with a single finger. It was because this was just too horrifying.
"Don't talk about it, don't investigate it. Otherwise, there will be a calamity. Even the ancient sages didn't dare to touch it." These words were passed down by the ancestors of the Yellow River Jiao and the Black Tortoise. They contained a great warning that made one shudder.
"I wonder if it's still a taboo after so many years. The essence of heaven and earth has dried up. After such a long time, the existence involved might have died or left. "The Third Valley Master comforted himself.
Ye Fan took out the bone from Chi Song Zi's cremation cave and carved the maps of Mount Lu's underground palace and the Primordial Dragon Cave. He studied them carefully.
"No, there aren't ninety-nine ancient dragon mountains on the map of the opportunity to become immortal. There's no definite connection." He was stunned. What was going on? Was the general direction wrong? Had he accidentally entered the forbidden area?
He combined the nine ancient jade pieces and studied them repeatedly. There was no mistake. There didn't seem to be much connection with the map of the opportunity to become immortal.
What was going on? Ye Fan was confused. Did Chi Song Zi's investigation in Sichuan have nothing to do with this? Could it be another secret?
"Did you notice what Old Flood Dragon and Black Tortoise said? Long before ancient times, the 99 Dragon Mountains had already been separated. It's impossible for future generations to verify it," said Old Crane.
The nine pieces of ancient jade came from the ancient times. They should have been carved into the Heavenly Book after the Dragon Mountain was divided. This meant that everything had happened and could not be changed. Then, what was the point of carving these Bird Seal Script jade pieces?
"Perhaps we've gotten the general direction wrong, and we've stepped into the forbidden area ourselves. Do these nine pieces of jade point to something else?" asked the Third Valley Master.
"Which sect is the most ancient in the world? Let's see if we can find the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains and the ancient forbidden secrets." Ye Fan said. Since he had already found some clues, it was impossible for him to give up just like that.
Now that they were in the Age of Dharma Ending, all the Great Mediums had left the earth, this might be the best opportunity, no one in the world could stop him.
"The oldest ancient sect … is probably millions of years ago," said the Grand Valley Master.
Ye Fan was stunned. At that time, there were still apemen, right? Someone had already started a sect? Isn't this a little too absurd?
"There really were ruins of primitive ancient sects. The era of eating raw meat and drinking blood was very different from now. There were also mysterious inheritances, but it's all in the past," said Old Crane.
"Actually, if you want to investigate, you can go straight to Mount Shu Sword Cultivator Sect. After all, it's the orthodoxy left by Chi Song Zi. Maybe there's some big secret that the world doesn't know about," said the Third Valley Master.
"Yes, we should go to the Celestial Sword Sect. We have to figure it out." Ye Fan nodded.
The so-called Mount Shu was the general name for the mountains around Emei. They returned to Sichuan, went around the formation, and entered the primitive area that the mortal world would never know.
Mount Shu, the Celestial Sword Sect, was powerful and above many ancient sects. It could be compared with the demon race's holy land, Myriad Demon Valley. Its orthodoxy was world-shaking, and no one dared to provoke it.
In the past, Old Crane mistakenly entered Mount Shu and obtained a great opportunity in the belly of a mountain. It inherited a part of the sword cultivation orthodoxy, and because of that, its strength increased by leaps and bounds.
"Chi Song Zi's orthodoxy is now incomplete. The Celestial Sword Sect is far from being as strong as it was in ancient times," explained the Grand Valley Master. In truth, the sects were similar, and many ancient books and records were lost.
This time, Old Crane truly understood how terrifying Ye Fan was. Ye Fan asked the two of them to wait here, and transformed into a wisp of smoke, disappearing into a few sword peaks.
"Forcefully barging into Mount Shu Sword Sect, how deep is his cultivation? At the very least, he must be an immortal-foundation cultivator. One must know that there are countless sword formations laid here! "The Grand Valley Master exclaimed.
The Third Valley Master was a little better, because he had personally seen Ye Fan entering the Celestial Sword Heavenly Lake and the terrifying scene of thousands of sword lights alone. He had some immunity to it.
Ye Fan entered the Ancestral Hall and saw a stone statue that exuded an immortal aura. He solemnly bowed. He had observed Chi Song Zi's Dao and comprehended a kind of true essence. His harvest was huge, and his heart was filled with respect.
He searched for secret manuals and ancient dao books. He paid special attention to all kinds of handwritten notes, and studied them carefully, wanting to find clues.
One couldn't help but say that the Celestial Sword Sect was very strong. The arts recorded in the handwritten notes were indeed the true Dao of Chi Song Zi. Although a portion was missing, it was enough to allow them to stand above the mortal world.
Ye Fan used his powerful divine sense to search for half a day, and subdued one of the supreme protectors of the sect. He observed his sea of consciousness, and only then did he find some clues.
He used a powerful method to erase the traces he left behind. Then, he silently opened up a secret door, entering a stone room that was covered in dust. There were no ancient methods, no spirit pills or holy medicines, only some messy items.
This was a secret chamber that Chi Song Zi used for seclusion in the past. It was treated as a forbidden ground by them, and was sealed up and guarded for generations. Only the sect leaders of each generation could enter.
This place had become the most secret place of the Celestial Sword Sect. There were many handwritten notes, and most of them were written by the great divinities of the past generations. They talked about many secrets.
The handwritten notes spanned a long time, from the ancient times until now. They were left behind by the sect leaders of different periods. He studied them carefully, and finally found some things he wanted to know.
The opportunity that Chi Song Zi was looking for to become an immortal was related to the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains in the ancient times!
However, he didn't come to Sichuan to look for the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, because he had been separated from them long before his time. He was looking for an Earth Immortal who knew the secrets of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, and he wanted to find a breakthrough from him.
Ye Fan read carefully, and he was shocked. He finally found out some of the truth.
The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains gave birth to the hope of becoming an immortal. Chi Song Zi was looking for it, the ancient Saint Emperor was looking for it, and the ancestor of the Myriad Demon Valley was also looking for it. However, the ordinary ancient sages were afraid of it, as if it was a snake or scorpion.
One of them, who was suspected to be an Earth Immortal, had an extraordinary harvest. It was said that he was hiding in Sichuan, so Chi Song Zi came here to find the secret of becoming an immortal.
The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains gave birth to the hope of becoming an immortal. The Earth Immortal had some contact with it, and then he went into hiding in Sichuan, and no one knew where he ended up.
Ye Fan read every handwritten note. Many of them were based on rumors about Chi Song Zi's words and deeds. Through the bits and pieces of his life, he could restore some shocking truths.
The Earth Immortal had set up 99 little dragons for him, imitating the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, and all the secrets he knew were buried in them.
"I see. The Dragon Mountains carved on the nine ancient jade pieces are not the original Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, but his own burial place."
Ye Fan left the Celestial Sword Sect and told the old crane and the third valley master everything he knew. After all, the Myriad Demon Valley had been looking for it for so many years, and they must have some intuition.
"We must find out!" The Grand Valley Master said. The ancestors of the Myriad Demon Valley had worked so hard and spent so much energy to get this result. How could they stop?
Although going deeper might involve the forbidden area, they felt that it was necessary to find the Earth Immortal first, and then make the final decision.
"The Earth Immortal is dead. He probably didn't get anything that could help him become an immortal, or he wouldn't have died. Calling him an Earth Immortal is probably an exaggeration," Ye Fan said to himself.
He would not fall to the ground when he was born, and he would not be buried when he died. As an immortal fetus, he would not be stained by dust for life. This was the description of the Earth Immortal after the collection of the nine ancient jade pieces. After thinking about it for a while, they understood that the way the Earth Immortal was buried should be in a hanging coffin, not falling to the ground and not being buried.
"No wonder Chi Song Zi opened the hanging coffin and looked for the ancient tomb. He already knew that the Earth Immortal went into hiding in Sichuan, and he also knew how he was buried," the old crane said.
They went around in a circle and felt that the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains could not be touched at all, and they had long been separated. The only thing they could do was find the coffin of the Earth Immortal.
Now, the only advantage was that there were no Saints on Earth. They were already the strongest group of people, so they didn't have to worry about being stopped.
In the following period of time, they spent a lot of time observing the mountains and rivers in Sichuan, seriously looking for the Little Dragon Mountains, wanting to find the Earth Immortal's burial ground, but to no avail.
"Is it possible that it is not in Sichuan at all? Otherwise, with Chi Song Zi's supreme means, why didn't he find it?" Ye Fan was doubtful.
"Once a mountain with great momentum becomes a climate, it will give birth to a divine beauty. After thousands of years, it can affect the pattern of the nearby mountains. We may be able to use this to start," the old crane said.
Since the Earth Immortal imitated the Ninety-Nine Ancient Dragon Mountains and set up the Little Dragon Mountains, even if it was hidden in the ancient formation, it must have affected the nearby mountains after so many years since ancient times.
The Myriad Demon Valley used all means, sent a large number of people, and used all the power of the valley to investigate, and finally made a breakthrough.
On the same day, they set out and did not stop along the way. They went straight to their destination and then watched from afar.
The mountain was shaped like a coiled dragon, soaring into the sky, and also like a crouching tiger. It was majestic, and the dragon and tiger fought for supremacy, not giving way. There was water circling around the mountain peaks, a total of 99 peaks and 24 cliffs. Although it did not look like a dragon, it had that kind of momentum. Using the softness of water to make up for the hardness of the dragon.
"There is an ancient formation locking the secret area, and it has affected the pattern of the mountains and rivers outside. The Earth Immortal's burial ground should be here!"
"This is the ancestral land of Taoism, we can't touch it. If they find out, at least half of the Taoists in the world will fight to the death with us."
It must be here. Ye Fan used the Original Wonderful Technique to sense a kind of Qi activity. The uninhabited area sealed by the ancient formation must be the place they were looking for.
