The yellow clay table was crude, but the words on it were very clear. It was the mark of a Quasi-emperor. The old crane and the third valley master trembled in fear as they read it.
Ye Fan studied it carefully to see what happened next.
As the leader of an ancient tribe, the Yongseong Clan lived until the Spring and Autumn Period. Naturally, their skills became more profound. At this level, they were already invincible, but they could not prove their Dao. They needed an opportunity.
He went on his way alone, but he only had two pieces of the map. He could not get close to the land of immortals. He almost died in the outskirts.
Later, after decades, when his lifespan was about to run out and he was about to reach the end of his life, he accidentally entered a sacrificial ground in the forbidden zone, which made things even worse.
Ye Fan and the others were shocked. That was a Quasi-emperor. He was invincible in the mortal world, but he almost died. How difficult was that path?
The Yongseong Clan stayed in the sacrificial ground for months. His body withered and he almost lost his human form. He broke out of the encirclement with difficulty, but he did not give up and chose to move forward.
However, no matter how powerful he was, he could not see the primitive land of immortals. He could not get close and he was trapped in the forbidden zone for 80 years.
That place was special. The marks of the great path interweaved into patterns that could destroy everything. Even his Quasi-emperor level weapon was broken. It was difficult for him to survive.
On the 81st year, just as his life was about to be extinguished, there was an unexpected turn of events. He found an immortal herb in the forbidden land of immortals.
"What a fortune!" Ye Fan could only sigh.
However, it was not a big deal after thinking about it. Since it could give birth to the hope of becoming immortal, it was reasonable for an immortal herb to appear there.
"That's … Kunlun!" The old crane exclaimed.
In the yellow clay coffin, apart from the words, there was also an engraving. It was very detailed and precise. It was a huge majestic dragon vein.
This Kunlun dragon vein was exactly the same as the central dragon mountain formed by the nine ancient jade pieces. It was extremely majestic.
On the ancient jade piece diagram, it was located at the center, occupying a quarter of the area. It was the most vast.
It was different from Kunlun in reality.
According to the drawings of Kunlun carved by the ancients, the Kunlun Mountain that could be seen today was only a small part of the tail, a corner of the main body, which was very far from it.
The Yongseong Clan obtained an Elixir of Immortality in the Kunlun Immortal Realm. At the same time, they coincidentally broke out of the forbidden land. A Quasi-emperor spent almost a hundred years there and almost died there. However, he did not really step into the true land.
He was somewhat disheartened. After returning, even the youngest disciple could not withstand the passage of time. More than ten years passed, leaving him alone in this world. In the end, he buried all of his disciples here.
The records on the yellow clay coffin came to an end.
"Looking at his last state of mind, it seemed that he was tired of the world and did not want to live anymore. But why is there no corpse in this place?" The Grand Valley Master was suspicious.
Imitating the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, he built a yellow clay coffin for himself and buried his disciples here. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that the Yongseong Clan was tired of the world and wanted to end his life.
Ye Fan looked carefully and found traces of Dao Assimilation at the bottom of the yellow clay coffin. However, there was a big doubt. Where was the Elixir of Immortality?
They searched everywhere in this place but could not find a trace. The ginseng fruit tree seemed to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace.
"Whether he ate the Elixir of Immortality or not, there is no record on the yellow clay coffin."
"Whether he was Dao Assimilation or not, the marks at the bottom of the coffin are not clear. It is hard to tell whether he is alive or dead."
They discussed for a while, but there was no final conclusion. They did not know whether the Yongseong Clan was alive or dead, so it was difficult to come to a conclusion.
It could be seen that the Yongseong Clan spent a lot of effort to raise the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, and he really entered the yellow clay coffin and carved these words.
At that time, he must have been exhausted and sad. He did not want to live alone in the world and quietly lay in the coffin waiting for death. Otherwise, all of this would not have happened.
However, no one knew what happened after that.
"Kunlun … That thing is in Kunlun," Ye Fan said to himself.
"The real Kunlun Dragon Mountains are majestic and towering. They are the ancestors of all mountains since ancient times. There are many areas that are extremely mysterious, and humans are not allowed to enter at all," the Grand Valley Master said.
"Up!"
Ye Fan shouted and lifted the yellow clay coffin that was as heavy as a mountain. He put it on the other side, and two pieces of bone appeared. They were similar to the ones found in Chi Songzi's coffin.
He held them in his hand and observed them carefully. There was indeed a map carved on them. It was complicated and majestic, and it led to the land of immortality.
"I already have five pieces of the map, I can use this to enter Kunlun." Of course, he would not take the risk. Even the Quasi-emperor could not withstand it, and he almost died there.
With his current cultivation, he could only look from afar with the map. It was impossible for him to get close, and there was no hope for him to become immortal.
"There are words at the bottom of the coffin!" The old crane and the Third Valley Master felt weak in this place. The Quasi-emperor's aura was too intimidating, and they could not withstand it at all. When Ye Fan lifted the yellow clay coffin, they sat on the ground and saw it clearly.
"Maybe the ninth piece of bone hasn't shattered."
There was only one sentence. This was the Yongseong Clan's guess, but it left behind endless hope for the future generations.
"Even the Quasi-emperor can't enter. Looks like I have to gather all nine maps, or else there is no chance of success!"
Ye Fan took the two pieces of bone and moved the coffin back to its original position.
"This yellow clay coffin is a treasure, but ordinary people can't activate it at all. It's troublesome to bring it along with you," the monkey said.
The Great Valley Master said, "Let's not think about it. The Yongseong Clan buried himself here with his disciple, and this was his wish. If we take the yellow clay coffin away, there might be an unknown disaster."
They left the place, and only when they walked out of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains did they heave a sigh of relief. The experience just now was very special, and it actually revealed the secret of the ancient taboo.
Although they knew a lot, there were also more doubts in their hearts. Who was it that controlled the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains to descend from one ancient star to another?
This was a vast and long river of time. Even the Great Ancient Emperors could only live for tens of thousands of years in their second lives. A person could not possibly spend so much time.
Rongcheng also had doubts. According to his guess, there must be a very terrifying inheritance that was incomparably ancient and had been existing for a long time.
However, this inheritance should have declined in the end, especially after the 'hope' of becoming an immortal was destroyed, it plummeted.
Because in the years that followed, he almost never appeared again. When that god dynasty sent something to Earth to repair it, if it was strong enough, it wouldn't have lost the secret map.
"More than 200,000 years ago … A god dynasty?" Ye Fan muttered to himself. A thought flashed in his mind, and he instantly thought of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
His heart was pounding. Could it be that after the big brother in Vicious' heart was chosen back then, he carried a heaven-defying mission and came to Earth?
His heart trembled. The secret of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains might be related to the Big Dipper Star Region.
"Yuhua God Dynasty … Yes, it's most likely them."
Ye Fan clearly remembered that the reason why the Yuhua God Dynasty was named this way was because it meant that they wanted to become immortals!
Unfortunately, they failed. More than 200,000 years ago, they were wiped clean from the Central Plains by a single hand, and they no longer existed.
"Is it them?"
If it was really them, many things made sense. It was precisely because they were wiped out by someone that they finally completely declined, so those who came here couldn't keep the ancient map.
"The timing is also very consistent."
If this assumption was true, the Yuhua God Dynasty should be the last force of that ancient inheritance. Otherwise, it would be impossible for no one to appear for so many years.
When Ye Fan thought of this, he couldn't help but be shocked. How powerful was the Yuhua God Dynasty back then? It almost ruled the Central Plains and reigned supreme in the world. No force could compare to them.
However, they were the last and weakest force of that ancient inheritance over the endless years. Because no matter how he looked at it, it was far from the supreme glory and might when they controlled the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains to descend from one ancient planet to another!
"What kind of inheritance is this?" Ye Fan muttered to himself, his heart fluctuating. The vast universe, the boundless starry sky, there were too many secrets.
It was hard for anyone to believe that there was once such a behemoth that dominated all of this and stood above the many ancient planets. It was truly hair-raising.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful an existence was, they couldn't withstand the power of time. After millions of years, the god-like inheritance also turned into ashes.
In this world, perhaps only the Great Ancient Emperors could be fearless and trample the Great Dao under their feet! Unfortunately, they could only be invincible for 20,000 years. In the end, they would also turn to dust. Nothing could last long.
"Yuhua God Dynasty …"
"The Era of Philosophers was incomparably prosperous because people from the other ancient star regions rushed over."
"Let me see what kind of traces you all left behind here!"
Ye Fan was determined. He must ascend to the Kunlun Immortal Realm. There were many secrets on Earth. He came back in this Age of Chaos and could uncover them. This was a rare opportunity.
"An Earth Immortal … It's actually a Quasi-emperor." Third Valley Master also had endless emotions. In the end, there were no immortals in this world.
"As cultivators, what do we cultivate for our entire lives?" The old crane's voice was filled with loneliness. Even the Quasi-emperor couldn't see any hope. Even the Great Ancient Emperors couldn't become immortals and would eventually die.
But what about them, young cultivators? They couldn't see any light at all. They cultivated day in and day out, facing the stone room and the lamp, abandoning the mortal world and cultivating in seclusion. In the end, they would still turn to dust.
This really shook one's Dao heart. Rather than that, it was better to live a carefree life in the mortal world. It was also worthy of one's time.
"We have to cultivate in the end. Since we've embarked on this path, there's no turning back." Ye Fan's voice wasn't loud, but he used his Dao to pull their minds back. Otherwise, they might plant the seeds of destroying their dao foundations.
"Yes, a path that no one has taken doesn't mean that we've reached the end. Why are we thinking so far ahead? We're just an insignificant splash in the waves of time. We just have to walk our own path. That should be the problem that the Great Ancient Emperors have thought about. "
"That's right, we still have a long way to go. There's still hope in our hearts. Great Mystical Arts Practitioners, Sages, Great Ancient Emperors are all goals that we can strive for."
The two of them were alert and quickly adjusted their emotions.
However, Ye Fan himself was silent. In this Age of Dharma Ending, he had no other desires. Becoming an immortal was his only goal. But where was the path? Since ancient times, there was no proof of becoming an immortal. He couldn't see any hope at all.
They walked out of the uninhabited area that was trapped by the ancient formation, left Mount Longhu, and returned to the mortal world. Looking at the mortal world, where was the path?
"I want to prove my Dao, I want to walk into the starry sky, I want to step on the immortal path that no one has walked before." Ye Fan muttered to himself.
The two valley masters told Ye Fan that the Grand Martial Cultivator Meeting was about to begin. And just as he returned to his residence in the north, he received a Dao talisman letter from the Numinous Treasure Sect Master.
"Should I go or not?"
Komatsu immediately raised its four little paws and pricked up its two little ears, indicating that it was willing to go. Ye Fan smiled and patted its head.
Actually, he wanted to go and take a look himself. Not only could he see some famous cultivators of the present world, but he could also enter the Shangqing Sect. The venue of the meeting was there.
The Numinous Treasure Sect, the Celestial Master Sect, and the Shangqing Sect were collectively known as the Righteous Sect. They worshipped the Three Pristine Ones, and the Shangqing Sect was the first to worship the Primeval Celestial Being.
"The sect that worshipped the Primeval Celestial Being? I'm going to take a look and see what's the reason behind it. "
Suddenly, a Dao talisman flickered and appeared in front of Ye Fan. The Numinous Treasure Sect Master sent a divine talisman to inform him that someone wanted to kill him.
"Hehe, the person who wants to kill me has appeared …" he muttered to himself and sneered.
