The majestic Kunlun was vast and boundless.
Following the direction indicated on the incomplete map of the Land of Immortalhood in his hand, Ye Xuan walked past one mountain after another and climbed over one mountain after another. As expected, he did not encounter any trace of the formation. His journey was smooth and unimpeded.
After walking for half a day and covering tens of thousands of miles, he finally completed the route indicated on the first map.
The route indicated on one map was tens of thousands of miles long. On average, there were nine maps in total. From the ancient formation to the center of the place of immortality, there were hundreds of thousands of miles. Moreover, this was not even the total area of the entire Kunlun. One could see how vast the Kunlun hidden in the ancient formation was.
"Eh?!" Just as he stepped onto the ancient path indicated on the second map, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows. He saw an old herb that was emitting a seven-colored radiance by the side of the road.
This old herb was shaped like a mushroom. It was only the size of a palm, but its entire body was emitting a seven-colored radiance. The fragrance of medicine was so strong that one would feel like flying with just one breath.
Seeing this precious herb, Ye Xuan did not hesitate. He dug it out and sealed it in a jade box.
This was a precious herb, or even a divine herb. It grew on the node of the Dragon Vein and was nourished by the Dragon Vein's Earth Qi. It had already grown for close to thirty thousand years. If it was in the secular world, it could be called a divine herb that could bring the dead back to life. Even in the cultivation world, it could extend the lifespan of a mighty figure at the end of his life by three hundred years.
The entire Kunlun was created to nurture the Celestial Cauldron. It gathered the essence of the entire ancient planet in one place. If it was not for the overbearing Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains in the center, there was no telling how many divine herbs would have been produced in this area.
As expected, the deeper he went, the more precious herbs he saw. Some grew by the side of the road, while others grew in the formation marks. All of them had a rich medicinal fragrance and were glistening.
Even though most of the treasured medicines were not on this ancient path, he had already collected 13 of them just by walking through the second ancient path. Every single one of them was at least 10,000 years old, and the oldest one was as old as 80,000 to 90,000 years old. This was equivalent to extending the lifespan of a great cultivator by 800 to 900 years. Even a Saint would have to bow down to such a treasure. If this treasure was placed in the outside world, it would probably cause a storm of blood.
Aside from the herbs, Ye Xuan also saw some strange and ferocious beasts along the way.
Although the entirety of Kunlun was a forbidden zone, it was not a land of death. Even the Dao of Formations required the combination of Yin and Yang and the cycle of life and death. Therefore, there were still some places that were separated as safe zones for all kinds of creatures to live.
Although most of the creatures that lived in Kunlun could only live in one zone, they were affected by the Dragon Qi that permeated the entire Kunlun. Their cultivation was actually quite powerful.
After walking through these two map fragments, the ancient path came to an end, and the area ahead returned to a boundless landscape. Ancient trees towered into the sky, old vines like dragons, and the sky and earth were covered densely with dao marks that linked up into large expanses. It was a ghastly sight.
Looking at the map fragment in his hand, this map fragment was blank. Only by walking through this blank area could he continue to the ancient path on the fourth map fragment.
If it was someone else, even a Great Sage, facing this incomplete map fragment, they would only be able to look at it and sigh. Because if they were not careful, they would affect the entire Great Emperor Killing Formation. Unless the Great Emperor came personally, otherwise, they would only die.
However, although Ye Xuan did not have the third map fragment in his hand, it did not mean that he would stop here. Because he was not only proficient in formations, but he also had the fourth map fragment.
Ye Xuan first looked at the path on the map fragment in his hand. Then, he opened his Divine Eyes. His eyes were like lightning, and he suddenly soared into the sky to observe the terrain of the surrounding area.
Although the third map fragment was missing, with the existence of the fourth map fragment, he could roughly deduce the path of the third map fragment. After all, the paths on the complete map were definitely connected. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, they wouldn't deviate too much from the correct path.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Xuan was more confident that he would be able to break into the Land of Immortal Ascension without the third piece of the map.
With the guidance of the fourth map fragment, although the third map fragment was missing, Ye Xuan could roughly deduce the path from the third map fragment to the fourth map fragment.
However, it was only a deduction after all. This did not mean that his deduction was definitely correct. Therefore, Ye Xuan did not walk in recklessly. Instead, he waved his hand and put on the Immortal Armor. Only then did he set foot on the path of the third map fragment that he deduced.
Along the way, Ye Xuan's eyes were shining with divine light. Between his pupils, there were countless runes flowing. With every step he took, he was trying his best to deduce the Dao Mark Formation and the terrain. He was afraid that one wrong step would trigger the Great Emperor Killing Formation in advance.
Although he had the Immortal Armor and the seven map fragments, it could be said that he was the cultivator who had the best chance of entering the Central Land of Immortality apart from the Great Emperor.
However, this was only an opportunity. If there was only one Great Emperor Killing Formation, perhaps Ye Xuan could rely on the Immortal Armor to break through it. However, there was more than one Great Emperor Killing Formation in this area. He did not forget the small Star Domain that had blasted him out.
That small Star Domain was the handiwork of Great Emperor Ruthless. In addition, there was the Great Emperor Killing Formation in the center. Perhaps even a real Great Emperor would have to spend a lot of effort to break through such a formation, let alone Ye Xuan, who only had the Immortal Armor.
If it was not for the Immortal Armor, he would not have dared to enter this area.
Even with the Immortal Armor, he still had to be careful. It was best not to trigger the Great Emperor Killing Formation before he entered the real Land of Immortality. At least, compared to facing two Great Emperor Killing Formations, his chances of breaking through would be higher than facing one Great Emperor Killing Formation.
The paths on the first and second pieces of the map covered hundreds of thousands of miles. With the correct path, it only took Ye Xuan less than a day to complete the journey. However, on the third piece of the map, it took him almost three months to reach the entrance of the fourth piece of the map.
He needed to make powerful deductions at every moment. Even with Ye Xuan's cultivation, he almost could not endure it. Fortunately, he managed to break through and set foot on the path of the fourth map fragment.
