From Rong Chenggong of Shu to Rong Chengzi of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then to the leader of the Yongseong Clan of the ancient tribes, his true identity was gradually revealed through the clues left behind in various ancient books. He was actually an immortal worshiped by the ancient people.
Ye Fan and the others walked around the coffin and repeatedly observed the terrain to check if there were any formation patterns or marks. They were afraid that there would be any mistakes. This was an ancestor-level cultivator, and he was worthy of respect.
The three could not calm down. The identity of the owner of the yellow coffin had been revealed, and it made them feel even more pressured. An earth immortal actually had such a great background.
The inside of the dragon's mouth was very dry. After the waterfall stopped flowing, there was no trace of water left. The cave walls were smooth, and there were no Dao patterns. After careful examination, they prepared to open the coffin and open the lid made of yellow mud.
However, after retreating far enough, he tried to use his Taoist technique to move the coffin lid, but he found that it was useless. It did not move at all.
Ye Fan held the Green Copper Piece in his hand and walked forward step by step. At this juncture, the Green Cauldron Fragment was the strongest protective talisman. If anything happened, it could save his life.
"Boom!"
He lifted a corner of the yellow mud coffin, and the entire dragon cave suddenly shone brightly. Patterns appeared on all the walls, and there was an overwhelming power that shone so brightly that one could not open their eyes.
At this moment, the entire dragon mountain was covered in celestial light, and a shocking aura emanated from it. The whole body was green and glistening, and it was about to be resurrected.
Ye Fan quickly let go of the coffin and retreated dozens of steps. With a "kuang" sound, the yellow coffin lid closed tightly over the coffin. All of the light disappeared and everything returned to normal.
The old crane and the third valley master trembled and sat on the ground. The great power just now made their hair stand on end, and their hearts trembled. They could not bear it.
"There was no murderous intent, only a kind of aura." After a long time, the three looked at each other.
If there was a hint of murderous intent when the coffin was opened, the two of them would not be able to keep their lives. This kind of aura was not something they could bear.
"In a trance, I saw a large number of oracle bone inscriptions densely covered the cave walls. It seemed to be describing a very important ancient secret," the Grand Valley Master said.
"Alright, let's try again." Ye Fan cautiously stepped forward.
Although the coffin was made of yellow mud, it was extremely heavy. If it wasn't for Ye Fan's innate divine strength and the fact that he had the human race's holy body, it would have been impossible for him to open it.
Despite this being the case, it was still extremely strenuous for him. The instant a corner of the coffin's lid was lifted, the sky full of brilliance appeared again. The cave walls shone brilliantly, immortal energy dense, brilliant colors of all different colors.
Inside the ancient cave, all types of patterns appeared. They were all ancient characters that were difficult to understand. They filled every corner and released endless radiance.
Ye Fan was sweating profusely. It was just a coffin lid made of yellow mud, yet it was so heavy. He moved it to the side with difficulty and placed it on the ground.
In the back, Great Valley Master and Monkey's bodies were shaking uncontrollably, sitting on the ground. They couldn't help but want to kowtow and worship. This was a type of instinct that originated from their bodies.
The lid of the Earth God's coffin was open!
Ye Fan looked inside and saw a mass of hazy chaos that was surging violently. It was indescribably mysterious, and he wanted to see what was going on.
However, he didn't dare to touch the chaos easily, because once it went berserk, it might destroy the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains and make one's soul palpitate.
"There's no trace of murderous intent, only the aura of an Earth Immortal." Ye Fan's body was extremely stiff. If it wasn't for the green copper piece in his hand, he might not be able to stand still.
"Bang!"
On the other side, the monkey finally couldn't control its body and hit its head on the ground. The old crane was the same. It couldn't control its body and trembled. It knelt down and kowtowed towards the yellow mud coffin.
This was the residual aura of the Immortal that the ancient people respected. Even after countless years, once the coffin was opened, even if only a trace of aura flowed out, others wouldn't be able to bear it.
"On the wall … there are words … it's related to the mystery of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains …" The Grand Valley Master stuttered. He was under great pressure and said with a trembling voice.
What was recorded on the wall was not the group of small dragon mountains, but the real Ninety-Nine Ancient Dragon Mountains. He didn't expect the Earth Immortal Yongseong Clan to reveal the secret here.
"Millions of years ago …"
Ye Fan saw these words and his hair stood on end. How long ago was this? Were there humans on Earth at that time?
Suddenly, the yellow mud coffin trembled and the chaos inside surged like an ocean was about to rush out. He was so shocked that he quickly retreated and grabbed the old crane and the Third Valley Master to escape.
"Clang!"
It finally stabilized. The inside of the coffin seemed to contain an ocean of chaos. It was incomparably deep. The walls of the coffin were rough and the yellow mud was flowing with strange colors. Ancient runes flashed and slowly absorbed all the energy of chaos.
Ye Fan stood in the distance and watched everything quietly. The two people beside him were trembling. It was not because they lacked willpower, but because the difference in strength was too big.
Finally, the chaos in the coffin disappeared. It was swallowed up by the rough walls of the coffin and it was empty.
"It's empty. Where's the body of the Earth Immortal?" the old crane exclaimed. They came for the Earth Immortal, so where was the body?
There were also words carved in the coffin. They were the same as the words on the wall. It was obvious that they were carved by one person. They were flowing with strange lights and looked very mysterious.
"The Earth Immortal turned into Dao and left nothing behind? That's not right. Where is the Tree of Immortality? Why is there no trace of it? It has existed for a long time, so it's impossible for it to disappear. "The Third Valley Master was also puzzled.
Ye Fan said, "Let's not care about this for now. We came for the secret of the Earth Immortal. He has left the key things here. We have to read them carefully."
"The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains contain the hope of becoming an immortal …" They kept studying the ancient words. They were all created by the ancestors of the ancient times and were too ancient to understand.
Fortunately, they were not ordinary people and had studied the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. They could roughly understand it after studying it carefully, but they were shocked when they saw a part of it.
Millions of years ago, the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains were used by people. It was a frighteningly long time ago, but no one knew who did it.
When they read further, it was even more terrifying. The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains did contain the hope of becoming an immortal, but Rongcheng did not say what it was.
Through the meaning, it should be understood that at their level, they all knew what it was. There was no need to say it. This was for their peers to read, not small cultivators like them.
"Nurturing one ancient star after another with life, this is a calamity …"
When they read up to this point, they felt a chill from their backs to their bones. The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains had a long and frightening history, and it did not start on earth.
According to what was recorded on it, this was a shocking secret, and it was even to the extent that others felt it was too absurd and difficult to believe.
The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, no one knew which star field it originated from, and no one knew how long it had been through, moving from ancient planets with life to ancient planets with life.
Wherever it passed, heaven and earth would dry up, spiritual energy would dry up, plants would wither, primates would degenerate, and all living things would decline rapidly. In the most serious cases, an ancient planet's vitality would disappear.
Ye Fan and the others looked at each other in dismay. Today's earth seemed to be experiencing such changes. The spiritual energy was dry up, the Great Dao was high, and it was difficult to cultivate. The veins of the earth were drying up.
All of this was caused by the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains!?
They held their breath and read carefully. This might be related to the greatest secret of the earth since ancient times, and they were lucky enough to uncover it and touch upon the secret.
The Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and swallowed the spiritual beauty of ancient planets with life. They had once descended on Mars, and that was the most serious time, almost drying up the entire ancient planet.
Later on, because of a great turmoil and a great war, Mars finally couldn't bear it and turned into a dead planet.
For some unknown reason, the last stop of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains was earth. The thing it nurtured was formed and taken away by someone.
As a result, in that unknown ancient period, perhaps the Archean Age, or perhaps even further back, many primates on Earth declined, and all those with cultivation left.
In the long years that followed, the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains overflowed with spiritual energy in reverse, and the earth was not completely dried up. On the contrary, because of this, the spiritual energy was abundant, ushering in a peak period.
In an unknown era, the thing nurtured by the Dragon Mountains, the hope of immortal ascension, was destroyed in another star region. About two hundred thousand years ago, someone crossed over and placed it in its birthplace.
When they read up to here, they looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that the drying up of the earth was caused by it? Another cycle had begun?
They continued to read carefully.
After all, this thing had already been destroyed, and even if it was placed in its birthplace, it would be difficult to immediately recover. In the end, after two hundred thousand years, there was some improvement, and it was also finally sensed by the most powerful experts on earth. They had a premonition that the situation was far from reassuring.
Someone took action, using great magic power to separate the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, wanting to stop the deterioration of the world. However, it was already too late, and they could only take out this thing.
However, the birthplace of that thing was too terrifying, and the interweaving patterns were extremely heaven-defying. Back then, there were some peerless figures from ancient stars who entered, but they all died in vain.
If one wanted to enter its birthplace, they needed an ancient map. If they followed the marked path, there wouldn't be any danger, and they could easily take out this thing.
Moreover, this ancient map was lost on earth. Back then, when a powerful divine dynasty from an ancient star escorted this thing back for restoration, they accidentally lost it here.
Unfortunately, this map was scattered everywhere, and because whoever could obtain it would obtain the hope of immortal ascension, everyone fought over it, momentarily unable to merge it together.
The ancient people living on earth realized that this wasn't good, and they quickly stopped fighting. They all selflessly took out the map fragments, preparing to merge them together.
However, at this time, something unexpected happened. Experts from other star regions came, starting to fight over it.
Later on, even the ancient saints could only die in vain. They didn't have the qualifications to fight over it, avoiding it like avoiding snakes and scorpions. In the ancient years, there were only a few Great Sage and one or two Quasi-emperors who had the ability to search for it.
The Yongseong Clan was one of them. He was a Quasi-emperor, and in that era, his strength was exceptional. He participated in this.
He was originally a leader of an ancient tribe. He watched as the world changed into mulberry fields, searching all the way until the Spring and Autumn Period. Even with his exceptional abilities, he was only able to obtain two pieces of the map.
It was rumored that there were originally nine pieces, but one of them was unfortunately smashed into pieces, ending the last strand of hope of the great experts. They began to leave earth one after another.
"Is this the reason why there are no great experts after the various masters? That flourishing period was actually formed from the opportunity of immortal ascension." Ye Fan said to himself.
They continued to study.
The Yongseong Clan was the leader of an ancient tribe. He watched as the sea dried up, waiting for the mountains to become plains. After endless years, all of his disciples died, and only he remained.
At the same time, during this process, he saw Shinno and observed the Yellow Emperor. He knew that with these people on this ancient star, there was no hope for him to verify the dao. He originally planned to leave, but he was a bit unwilling. After all, he obtained two pieces of the map.
In the end, he chose to enter the place where there was hope of immortal ascension. He wanted to risk his life.
However, the record ended here, and there was no more.
Even someone as steady as the Great Valley Master couldn't bear it. He wanted to see the final result, but even though the words on the wall were densely packed, they stopped abruptly just like that.
"Also, it's all recorded in the yellow coffin," Ye Fan said. The coarse walls of the coffin were densely packed, recording what happened next.
