The Pamir Plateau, also known as the Pamir Mountains in ancient times, was a place that the Silk Road had to pass through. Other than the eastern slope that was still under the jurisdiction of China, the rest was already within the borders of other countries.
Everything that had happened in the past few days had caused a huge uproar. Even the Dao Sect had made preparations for war, afraid that the flames of war from the Western Crusaders would spread to Middle Earth.
Ye Fan was going to fight his way to the West and bring back the ancestral weapon. There was no need to hide it now, and the label of a devil from Middle Earth had been put on it.
Nowadays, the most talked about topic in the cultivation world of West Earth was the devil. Everyone was guessing who would come into being to get rid of this great devil and let the glory of god shine on Middle Earth.
The Pamir Mountains were extremely high above sea level. This was a place where dragons lay crouching gods. Many dragon veins converged here and bordered the western part of China, becoming a land of dragon qi.
This was the roof of the world, and there were many mountains here. The lowest one was 4,000 meters high, and the highest one was 7,700 meters high.
Ye Fan flew up into the sky and could see thousands of miles. There were many lush cliffs and wild ridges. He found that there were traces of an ancient war here, and the terrain was complicated.
This was the junction of the five great dragon veins — Tianshan, Himalayas, Kunlun, and Xingdu Kush. It formed a special pattern where the dragons intertwined and intersected.
"Such a strange terrain with the dragons turning back and climbing over each other. Could there be something buried here?"
Ye Fan stared at the junction of a few large dragon veins and landed with a few disciples. He saw a lush green valley that looked like a whirlpool where many dragons were circling.
"Dig it up! Could it be that an ancient great divine arts practitioner buried something here? Today, it will see the light of day."
Ever since the disciples found out that their master was a Yuan Taoist Master, they had already classified him as the ancestor of tomb robbers. Even though he had explained it a few times, their gazes were still strange.
"Master, we're already outside the borders. Won't there be some trouble if we randomly dig here and cause an international dispute?"
The disciples joked. After becoming familiar with Ye Fan and knowing his personality, they weren't afraid of him anymore.
In ancient times, this highland was called the Pamir Mountains. There was an abundance of vegetation, and some areas were like the Southern Mountains, full of life and lush.
Boom!
Zhan Yifan made the first move, hacking down with the immortal sword technique Ye Fan bestowed upon him. Smoke and dust rushed into the heavens. This whirlpool dragon valley quickly sunk and split apart. Dragon bones appeared below, formed from rock.
"It is indeed an extraordinary place. It all depends on your luck. Who knows, you might even be able to dig out the Dragon Marrow. Not only can it prolong your life, but it also contains fragments of the Great Dao. It is especially beneficial to the people of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Back then, when I was in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, I obtained the help of this item in the Central Plains."
With Ye Fan's encouragement, the others were even more motivated. One by one, they started digging. Even the delicate Yan Xiaoyu seemed to be a professional excavator. His efficiency was extremely high.
This was indeed a holy land. According to the records in the Heavenly Origin Book, if the Dragon Vein hadn't withered and died, there would definitely be something extraordinary being nurtured and incubated there.
If this was the Big Dipper Star Region, Ye Fan would definitely not dig a place like this unless he found two saints. Fortunately, the Earth had dried up, so even if there was something inside, it would definitely be neither dead nor alive.
They dug thousands of meters into the ground and came across solid rocks. There was actually an ancient formation carved on them, protecting the ground. It was difficult to break through and couldn't be shaken.
"Saint-level ancient formation patterns?" Ye Fan was startled. It seemed that they had dug up something extraordinary. There was actually such an ancient formation protecting it.
The disciples' efforts were all in vain. They couldn't break through the restriction and were almost injured. They hurriedly retreated.
"As expected, it is extraordinary!"
Ye Fan looked at the Pamir Mountains and stared at the place where the dragons gathered. Even he would find it difficult to break through it. After all, it was a Saint-level ancient formation.
"All of you, back off."
After an endless distance, he took out two simple black arrows and nocked one on the bowstring. Then, he concentrated all of his strength and shot it out.
This arrow shocked the heaven and earth and made the gods weep. It was so powerful in the hands of the Changbai Dao protector, so there was no need to mention it in the hands of Ye Fan. This material was very special, and the formation inside was even more special. It only needed a small amount of energy to activate and turn into a Deity Slaying Arrow!
The level of the black arrow was difficult to say. It was extremely powerful, but it didn't need to consume the vast amount of magic power like a holy weapon. It was a secret treasure and was regarded as a divine killing weapon in ancient times.
"Boom!"
A loud sound rang out. The surrounding mountains that were five to six thousand meters tall all collapsed. A violent earthquake occurred, sending dust and smoke into the sky.
"Master, the movement is too big. When the time comes, it will give those seismologists a headache. Such a big earthquake will make the international news."
The disciples were speechless and told him to take it easy.
Ye Fan shot the arrow but didn't completely destroy the ancient formation. He put the black arrow back and began to shoot continuously. After an unknown number of times, he finally blasted open the underground formation.
He caressed the two black arrows and became more and more fond of them. They were really powerful to the extreme. The arrows were not damaged at all. With so many arrows shot out, he reckoned that even a great completion king would be killed several times.
And now, it actually blasted open a saint's formation. It seemed even more outstanding and precious. As expected of a divine weapon that could kill demonic sages.
"Roar …"
Suddenly, a loud roar rushed up from underground. The distant mountains and rivers collapsed and the earth cracked rapidly. The soil and rocks turned into waves that soared three thousand meters into the sky!
Divine might!
This scene was too shocking. Fortunately, Ye Fan was well-prepared and used the Myriad Qi Cauldron to take in all the disciples. Otherwise, this roar alone would be enough to turn these young geniuses into a bloody pulp.
This was the roar of a saint. It was world-shaking. Even he, who was thousands of meters away, swayed and was sent flying by the huge sound wave.
Ye Fan quickly moved. He put the cauldron back into his forehead and retreated at lightning speed. Otherwise, the disciples would explode even if they hid inside the cauldron. Their cultivation was too weak and definitely couldn't block it.
He used his physical body to resist. Without the protection of the myriad qi, he immediately felt a great pressure. The worst roar of a saint was the collapse of mountains and rivers. The most terrifying record was that in ancient times, the Great Sage had shattered the moon with a roar.
The roar from underground continued. A strand of blood seeped out from the corner of Ye Fan's mouth. He was shocked because there was still a living saint on earth!
A wave of fiery red blood energy rushed up. It was several thousand meters tall and a stone embryo appeared. Its aura was overwhelming and powerful to the extreme, causing the mountains and valleys to tremble.
"I really dug out a big one!" Ye Fan muttered to himself. He felt a headache because it was actually a saint spirit embryo.
"Eh, something's wrong. There's something strange." Suddenly, his mind moved. This stone embryo was very strange. It was formed from blood energy and wasn't a real body. To be more precise, it was more like a wave of resentment.
In the sky, the essence of the sun scattered down. His body quickly became faint and emitted a wave of green smoke. Then, it disappeared as if it was an illusion.
Ye Fan had heard before that those with great resentment would be buried underground for tens of thousands of years. Once they saw the light of day, they might be freed in an instant and turn into dust.
"An ancient stone embryo with great resentment and great resentment is underground?"
According to the ancient records, the resentment had already dissipated and this place should be safe. He released his disciples and went into the underground world together.
The depths of the underground was spacious and empty. There were several great dragon veins intersecting with each other. Unexpectedly, there were many divine source blocks flickering. Komatsu's eyes shone brightly as he turned into purple light and went to pick them.
In the depths of the dragon cave, there was a strange place. A large vermillion coffin was suppressing a strange stone. An old man with red hair and a red beard sat in the coffin. He looked very bold and powerful.
"The remains of a saint!" Ye Fan was astonished. He didn't expect to see a saint first.
Under the vermillion coffin, the strange stone was also very special. It was almost transparent, and one could see the shadow of a human inside. It was nurturing a life form.
"Stone Embryo Holy Spirit!"
Ye Fan had long seen that the layout of this place was extraordinary. There was indeed a holy spirit here, but why was the ancient saint's coffin suppressed here?
"Master, there are words here."
Ye Fan read them carefully and couldn't help but be startled. When this old saint was choosing his burial ground, he accidentally discovered an immature stone embryo and wanted to seize its body. In the end, he failed.
"No wonder there was such great resentment. A stone embryo that could become an unrivalled existence was stopped by someone. Even though the saint was devoured, his primordial spirit died in the end."
"Pu!"
This saint's remains suddenly dissolved and turned into a pool of blood. They hurriedly dodged. It was truly tragic. A magnificent saint had died in such an undignified manner.
"Is the stone embryo really dead?" The young geniuses all felt uneasy. The holy spirit was a synonym for unrivalled. As long as it had a breath, it could destroy a world.
"Don't worry. When the dragon vein dried up, it was not mature yet. After fighting with the old saint, its primordial spirit was destroyed."
Ye Fan saw clearly that this holy spirit had failed at the last moment and became a dead embryo. It withered within the stone. He personally took action and peeled it off. As expected, it was a Nine Aperture Holy Embryo.
His brow flashed with splendor, and a small golden person walked out and entered the body of the Nine Aperture Holy Spirit. The stone man immediately stood up.
A wave of powerful might immediately overflowed, and the disciples immediately knelt down. They couldn't bear this kind of power and trembled with fear.
"What a pity. It was originally about to turn into a body of flesh and blood, but it was destroyed halfway. Its blood energy dried up, and it is no longer a supreme stone embryo." Ye Fan sighed.
Not only did the old saint die miserably, this holy spirit embryo had also almost turned into ordinary stone. Apart from being sturdy and imperishable, there was no divine sea left behind. The stone blood had already dried up.
"It's not bad to use it as an incarnation."
"Congratulations, Master. You've comprehended a Dao Body, and you've also obtained a Holy Spirit Stone Embryo. You're like a tiger that has grown wings. You won't have to worry about anything during this trip to the west." The disciples were all overjoyed.
"Yes, Master, we should go to the Western Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Vatican. We can also go to Mount Olympus and other places. Maybe we can dig up something there."
A few of the disciples saw that they had made such a great harvest, and even before fighting with the Western orthodoxies, they were already thinking of taking some of the Divine Mountains. There was nothing they could do. With this type of master, they felt like even the divine objects nurtured by the world's mountains and rivers couldn't escape. They were already infected.
Then, they continued on their way. Along the way, they looked at the mountains, rivers, and terrain. They took action several times, and they really had great harvests. They even dug up dragon marrow in a few countries.
In this era of depletion, it was too hard to come by, making it even more precious. It had great benefits in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, as it could raise one's cultivation. It was divided equally among the disciples.
Along the way, people from the West tried to stop them several times, but they were all killed by Ye Fan without any suspense.
Just like that, they traveled and stopped. After a few months, they arrived at Jerusalem. During this period, the West was greatly shaken, and this was their topic of discussion every day.
"Master, the Central Earth Dao Sect sent us news saying that there are ancient holy knights still alive in West Earth. They are sitting in Jerusalem, waiting for our arrival."
"Apart from this, when the Pope issued the summons, experts from all the ancient families responded, forming an unrivaled crusade. They are also waiting for the devils from the East."
"I also heard that there are true divine races descending, and it isn't as simple as humans cultivating." Long Yuxuan also mumbled in a low voice.
"Wu, are there still living ancient races?" Ye Fan said to himself.
They arrived at Jerusalem, but they didn't enter the city. Instead, they circled around it and disappeared into thin air.
That was because Jerusalem belonged to the cultivators. Within the great ancient formation, mortals couldn't see it at all. It was a true city of saints.
"Too inconceivable! There is actually such a grand ancient city!" The disciples were shaken.
On the horizon, there was a huge city that seemed to be forged from black gold. It flickered with a cold metallic luster, and its entire body emitted specks of holy splendor. It was dignified and divine.
They felt as if they had returned to the wild ancient world. Outside the city, ancient trees towered into the sky, apes cried, and tigers roared. Compared to the mortal world, the difference was too great.
This was a divine city that had existed since the ancient times. Those who entered and exited the city were all cultivators, and not a single one of them was a mortal. Many of them were riding ancient beasts with dense scales and imposing auras.
"Why do I feel that after coming to the world of legends, that beautiful and flawless green-haired girl looks like … an elf?"
"Was that one from the divine race? It had three heads and six arms, and there was a divine disk behind its head. A halo enveloped its body, and it was truly mysterious."
Clearly, this was a world of cultivators, and it had been revered as a holy city since ancient times. For such an ancient city to still exist in the current era, it was truly a kind of miracle.
"It's a bit troublesome. This city has existed since the ancient times. Who knows, there might really be some surviving elders here." Ye Fan said to himself.
