The Forbidden Ancient Desolate Land was a forbidden zone for life, but at the same time, it contained the hope of life. It was said that the Immortal Herb grew here. If one could enter and pluck it, one's life could be extended for a lifetime.
Many old supreme beings and monarchs would enter the Primordial Desolation Forbidden Grounds in their old age, hoping to survive for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, most people entered but never made it out. Some of them even lost their lives before they could enter the core area.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was standing in the core area of the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Land. Tens of meters in front of him, there was a one-meter-wide spring pool. The water flowed like a sweet spring dew.
However, his gaze was not on the spring, but on the surroundings of the spring. Around the spring, there grew thirteen small trees that were half a meter tall. Their leaves were wide and green, and they looked like human palms. At the same time, they looked like a few people with many arms standing there.
At the top of each small tree, there was a bright red fruit. It looked like a cherry, but it was as big as a chicken's egg. A strong fruity fragrance spread in the air.
"Are these … the Immortal Herb?" The Dragon Horse, Black Ape, and other exotic beasts that had been following behind Ye Xuan all noticed the thirteen small trees not far away. They couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"They are the Immortal Herb, but they are not!" Ye Xuan shook his head indifferently, then walked over slowly.
He arrived at the edge of the spring pool in just one step.
The Dragon Horse breathed heavily. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its nostrils exhaled dragon-shaped breaths. It couldn't wait to extend its mouth and take possession of the thirteen small trees.
However, it didn't forget about Ye Xuan. Although it was eager, it didn't dare to take another step forward.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly when he saw the Dragon Horse exhaling rapidly. Its four hooves dug a huge pit in the ground, but it didn't seem like it was going to take another step forward.
It seemed that his journey had been fruitful. At the very least, it seemed that the Dragon Horse was almost completely tamed. Otherwise, with the Dragon Horse's wild and greedy nature, it would have charged forward long ago.
As for the black ape, Golden Ox, and Daoist Hong Yu, Ye Xuan saw a yearning expression in their eyes as well. However, a strand of their soul was in Ye Xuan's possession, and with Ye Xuan here, they probably wouldn't dare do anything out of line.
"One for each person. Go and pick them yourselves. It's best if you don't eat them yet!" However, Ye Xuan was not a stingy person. He would not be stingy towards his subordinates. Moreover, there were thirteen fruits here. Even if each of them took one, he still had nine left.
"Thank you, My Lord! Thank you, My Lord! " After hearing Ye Xuan's words, the four exotic beasts were first stunned, then overjoyed. After thanking Ye Xuan, they rushed towards the small spring like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds. Then, they used their magical powers and plucked the exotic fruit from above.
Among them, the Dragon Horse's performance was the most eye-catching. Not only did it open its mouth and swallow the fruit, but it even swallowed the green leaves of the small tree. If it hadn't sensed Ye Xuan's gaze behind it, it might have chewed the tree branch as well.
Ye Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw what the Dragon Horse was doing. Alright, it was the Dragon Horse after all.
"My Lord!" Very soon, the four beasts returned, except for the Dragon Horse, who was still looking at the small tree with only a bare branch left.
Other than the Dragon Horse, the Black Ape, the Golden Reckless Bull, and Daoist Hong Yu each plucked a cup of the immortal divine medicine's fruit. Moreover, after hearing his words, they did not consume it immediately. Instead, they used their own methods to seal it.
In fact, it was the same for the Dragon Horse. Although it looked like the Dragon Horse had eaten the fruit, Ye Xuan could clearly feel that the Dragon Horse had not really eaten the fruit. Perhaps there was an alternate space in its body.
"Mmm!" Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he flipped his right hand, and a small purplish-gold cauldron appeared in his hand. With a thought, the remaining nine red fruits were thrown into the small cauldron.
After keeping the small cauldron, he looked at the small spring and pondered for a moment. Then, he raised his hand and waved. Spring water immediately flowed into his palm like a dragon.
The spring water that could nurture the Immortal Herb was not ordinary. Every drop of the spring water from the Spring of Life contained a huge amount of vitality. It was enough to revive the dead and grow flesh and bones.
He opened up a small spring in the abode within his body, and then he placed the spring water into it.
However, he wasn't an insatiably greedy person. He only collected half of the spring water before stopping. After all, he guessed that Vicious had already awakened, and the Nine Profundity Undying Tree belonged to Vicious. Unless he wanted to go to war with Vicious, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to destroy it.
Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't even let go of the spring water, the Dragon Horse felt that it was too polite earlier. Its large eyes turned repeatedly. Not only did it stare at the leaves of the other 12 fruit trees, but it also didn't intend to let go of the remaining half of the spring water that Ye Xuan had taken.
After collecting the spring water, Ye Xuan originally planned to move the White Tiger Divine Herb and Old Knotweed to the spring in his body, but the White Tiger Divine Herb and Old Knotweed were unwilling to do so. Compared to the fairy liquid in the Pristine Jade Bottle, although the Spring of Life was also quite magical, it was still not as good.
Seeing that the White Tiger Divine Herb and Old Knotweed were unwilling, Ye Xuan didn't force them.
However, when he returned to his senses, he saw the Dragon Horse's eyes moving around the other fruit trees. Ye Xuan casually guessed and immediately knew what the Dragon Horse was planning. He smiled faintly. "Dragon Horse, don't court death. This isn't a place for you to behave atrociously. Think about why there are Immortal Herbs here. Otherwise, if you infuriate the owner of this place, even I won't be able to save you at that time."
The Dragon Horse was stunned when it heard Ye Xuan's words, and then it immediately reacted. Instantly, its face changed drastically while a wisp of terror flashed through its eyes, and cold sweat dripped down from its forehead.
The Dragon Horse wasn't stupid. It was born and nurtured by the heavens and the earth, and it was even more intelligent than ordinary people. After being enlightened by Ye Xuan, it immediately reacted. Immortal Herbs were treasures exclusive to Emperors and Ancient Emperors, and it was impossible for ordinary people to lay their hands on them. Yet now, they were placed in the wilderness like a few wild fruits. This was truly unusual.
Unless, there was a Emperor living in seclusion here.
It wasn't just the Dragon Horse, the black ape, the Golden Barbaric Ox, and Daoist Hong Yu all had a wisp of terror on their faces as well. After all, a Great Emperor Level expert was watching from the side, and presumably, no one could remain calm.
"Alright, don't worry. As long as you behave yourself and don't do anything that the owner of this place can't tolerate, I believe the owner of this place won't hold it against you." Ye Xuan smiled when he saw the reaction of the Exotic Beasts. Then, he looked at another mountain in the distance. After a moment of silence, he walked into the giant bronze coffin and lifted the Three Worlds Bronze Coffin.
The coffin was very heavy. If one did not lift it with their own hands, it would be impossible to imagine that the coffin, which was only two to three meters long and two meters tall, weighed nearly a million kilograms.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan had trained his body in the Devouring of Stars, so he had already reached a level where he could pluck the stars and the moon. Although the coffin was heavy, he could still lift it easily.
"Holy Venerable, you …" Seeing Ye Xuan enter the bronze coffin and come out with an even more mysterious coffin, the Dragon Horse, the black ape, and the other exotic beasts couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"It's fine. It's just a precaution. Let's go!" However, Ye Xuan didn't care at all. He smiled calmly, then took a step forward and headed towards another Sacred Mountain …
