On that day, Kunlun, Immortal Sword Sect, Shangqing Sect, Quanzhen Sect, Vermillion Phoenix Sect, Myriad Demon Valley, and other powers all provided clues that moved Ye Fan.
"This is that divine stone. It weighs more than ten thousand catties. Some of my ancestors said that it was a heavenly stone from the outer realm, while others said that it was a cornerstone of the Celestial Court." The sect master ordered someone to place a purple stone on the ground.
The stone was purple in color and as big as a millstone. It looked like an ancient jade covered in dust. It was dark and glossy, and it was very heavy. Just now, the two supreme elders were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Ye Fan circled around it and felt that it really was a cornerstone. He couldn't help but ask where it was obtained.
The Shangqing sect master told him the truth. On a rainy night in ancient times, a mountain torrent created a ravine at the foot of Mount Mao, and purple clouds rushed up. The old sect master woke up in the middle of the night and looked down the mountain. He saw a heavenly palace collapsing. He rushed into the rain and found that the heavenly palace was an illusion and didn't exist. It should be a replay of a prehistoric scene, and he only saw a purple stone in the ravine.
Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder and gathered around to look at the strange stone. Ye Fan placed his hand on it, and it was very warm. He used his heart to feel it and heard waves of lightning and thunder, as well as the sound of swords shaking together.
He activated the Dao laws and drew out a blurry scene. Heavy rain poured down, and battle cries shook the heavens. The roars of unparalleled experts were heard, and then a heavenly palace collapsed and fell from the sky.
"Unfortunately, I can't see it clearly. It's hard to say whether it was a battle between gods or not." Ye Fan shook his head.
The ancient palace that Sect Master Xue Chen had ordered people to transport also arrived. It was dozens of feet tall and looked like a small mountain. It was rather grand and majestic, and its entire body was made of green feathers. Although only half of it was left, its majesty didn't diminish.
"This really is a heavenly palace. This scale hasn't changed even after so many years. It's very extraordinary." Someone exclaimed.
Ye Fan's heart moved. This style was a bit similar to the Northern Dipper Star Region's Ruins of God. He hadn't been to that life forbidden zone, but he had seen some descriptions in ancient books.
In front of the Divine Ruins, the Southern Heavenly Gate towered majestically. It was half collapsed, leaving behind endless legends in this world.
Was it really a building left behind by the Celestial Court? Ye Fan consulted Sect Leader Xue Chen in detail about the origins of this palace. He told him truthfully that it was dug out from the foot of Kunlun.
Ye Fan gently caressed this ancient watchtower, and then he circulated his cultivation, wishing to return to the source, carve out all of the imprints left behind in the past.
There was an indescribable formation within this green jade palace. It was profound and complex, and this was precisely the reason why it could exist in this world for so long, protecting it from being damaged.
Ye Fan was shocked. This kind of law was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. He really believed that this was the building of the Celestial Court.
He activated the natural laws, and phoenix feathers shot out from his body. Chains of order connected to the azure heavenly palace as he sensed the events of the past.
On the contrary, it was too ancient, simply impossible to restore. Even someone as powerful as him felt like it was futile, because he vaguely guessed that it was most likely traced back to millions of years ago.
Weng!
Right when Ye Fan was about to let go, ripples suddenly appeared on the green palace. Radiance flickered, and an incomparably dignified voice sounded, making the entire short mountain tremble.
"The emperor has already died, the divine generals of the various regions are in chaos. The Celestial Court has collapsed, falling apart in a single day …"
These weren't true words, but rather an extremely weak divine will. It was powerful to the point where it made one tremble. Apart from Ye Fan, everyone knelt down.
Everyone's souls were trembling. Just how powerful of an existence was this? It existed for endless years, at least a million years, right? Its voice resounded through the green palace, making it hard for others to endure.
"Ah …"
There were some Dao Gate disciples who couldn't hold on, their bodies cracking apart, almost breaking apart. The cauldron above Ye Fan's head rumbled, releasing a strand of source energy to protect him.
"Pu!"
A sect master who was too close was surrounded by this type of pressure, coughing out large mouthfuls of blood. It was difficult for him to resist, unable to endure it.
Ye Fan's expression changed. All life source energy rose and fell, strand after strand of auspicious energy surging, protecting everyone below, preventing anyone from dying because of this.
What kind of existence was this? It transcended endless years, its mournful voice enough to kill the people of the present. It was powerful to a terrifying degree, difficult for others to fathom.
"Even if it isn't an ancient emperor, it has to be a Quasi-emperor." Ye Fan said to himself. He even believed that this might be a holy emperor. It wasn't strange for there to be a few great emperors in that legendary era.
He did everything he could to restore the imprints left behind in the past, but unfortunately, the endless years were enough to shatter everything. Only this mournful voice remained, nothing else existing.
After severing the dao, he had heaven penetrating methods, but there was no way he could create something out of thin air, unable to reverse the endless years of time.
When everything calmed down, everyone looked at each other in dismay. They were full of reverence towards Ye Fan. This was truly heaven-defying, allowing the voice of the Ancient Heaven to reappear, allowing them to pry into a corner of the mysteries of the heavens and archaic times.
"Wu, the legendary Celestial Court really did exist, appearing before in the ancient earth. I wonder what kind of traces were left behind." Ye Fan pondered, becoming absent-minded.
"Dao brother, you have to think thrice before choosing the Celestial Court as your sect name. There were stunning ancient heavenly geniuses who wanted to do such a great thing, but in the end, they all suffered misfortune."
"Right, the two words' Celestial Court 'crushed the past and present, not something we can endure. If one isn't an immortal and rashly established the Celestial Court, it will collapse in the end, bringing about unexpected events."
Everyone advised, all of them out of good intentions. In the past, they didn't think much of it, but when they heard that sorrowful voice just now, it truly made their hearts tremble. They recalled the various legends from the ancient times.
Ye Fan nodded and didn't say anything else. Today, the various sects sent over large amounts of ancient items, all of them related to the war of deities and related to the Ancient Heaven.
In the end, the people who came to congratulate all left. The various sect masters left, and the crowd dispersed. A mountainous pile of artifacts and ancient books was left behind on the short mountain.
In the following half a month, Ye Fan immersed himself in the sea of ancient books, forgetting to sleep and forgetting to eat as he searched for all kinds of methods.
His parents were no longer here, and it was hard for there to be anything on earth that could attract him. The only thing that could attract his attention was to become an immortal.
He wanted to investigate the legendary Celestial Court, but too much time had passed and everything had been buried in the dust of history. Now, he could only investigate through legends, anecdotes, and oracle bone books.
Time flowed by like water, always unknowingly passing by. In the blink of an eye, another three years passed. It had already been six years since Ye Fan returned to this side of the starry skies.
During these years, apart from cultivating, he spent most of his time investigating the secrets of the war of deities and immortals. He learned quite a few ancient secrets.
Now, the Celestial Court's prestige was flourishing day by day. It was difficult for Ye Fan to find an opponent in the world, so he naturally received help from various parties in his search for ancient books.
During these five years, he did everything he could to visit various sects. He went to the Vatican, climbed Mount Olympus, went to the divine lands of Egypt, and even went deep into the Buddhist lands of India. He left his footprints in every famous place in the world.
The Ancient Heavenly Court wasn't excavated, but he unexpectedly obtained some ancient scriptures. It gave him enlightenment, and his gains weren't shallow.
Ye Fan mobilized all of his power. Apart from searching for the Ancient Heaven, he also searched for clues about the Diagram of Immortal Ascension. He didn't expect to actually make a breakthrough discovery.
The eighth corner, the Diagram of Opportunity to Immortal Ascension, was buried under the foundation of an ancient temple. Opening the Buddhist niche, apart from some relics, there was also a piece of bone.
This was an ancient temple that had been accidentally discovered by a novice monk. After obtaining these items, the powerful Buddhist sects learned that Ye Fan was visiting and wanted to see the bone. They didn't dare to disobey and directly gave it to him.
This was a great harvest!
Apart from searching for the Ancient Heaven, the war of deities, and other relics, Ye Fan also persevered in searching for the Diagram of Opportunity to Immortal Ascension, which would be of great use to him in the future.
After obtaining the eighth corner of the Diagram of Immortal Ascension, he put everything aside, including the investigation of the Celestial Court, because he had made an important decision!
"As the Quasi-emperor, the Yongseong Clan entered the Land of Immortal Ascension and finally obtained an immortal herb, narrowly escaping death. I've already severed my dao. Although my strength is far inferior to his, I've obtained the Diagram of Immortal Ascension, and it's almost complete. Perhaps I can go a bit further. "
The secret of Immortal Ascension was too tempting. No one would give it up. This was something that even great emperors would strive for their entire lives, let alone Ye Fan. This was his ultimate goal!
"I really want to go in and give it a try," Ye Fan said to himself.
He was only missing one corner of the Diagram of Immortal Ascension. It wasn't that he couldn't wait and was too impatient, but rather that he knew that the corner of the Diagram of Immortal Ascension had shattered in the ancient years and would never be able to obtain it again. Otherwise, the ancient sages wouldn't have left together.
"Oh, just one corner of the Diagram of Immortal Ascension is enough to make them retreat. It seems like the chances are slim and it'll be difficult to succeed. Forget it, I'll just take it as a scout and take a look first. I won't think that I'll definitely succeed. "
Ye Fan went on his way, only bringing Komatsu with him. They headed west and entered the Kunlun Mountains. Then, they made their way around the ancient formation and arrived at a boundless region.
Komatsu immediately widened his eyes. This was an ancient dragon mountain, the ancestor of mountains. It was vast and boundless, majestic and intimidating. It was as if a living True Dragon was hibernating here.
The true Kunlun Mountain Range was boundless and boundless. Every mountain peak was like a piece of dragon bone, towering into the clouds, majestic and magnificent.
The ancient pines were verdant and the waterfalls were boundless. It was like a painting scroll laid horizontally in front of them.
Ye Fan wandered about this mountain region for more than half a month. He observed the terrain and didn't dare to act recklessly. He pieced the Diagram of Immortal Ascension together and studied it repeatedly, finding a safe path.
However, the path that led to the center of the land of immortality was empty. After the diagram was pieced together, only the middle region was missing. It was truly regrettable.
More than twenty days later, a purple light flashed in the distance. Komatsu jumped out like a little purple spirit. His small body was hugging a square meter of pure white jade. His large eyes that were like black gemstones blinked as he walked unsteadily. He swayed back and forth on purpose to take credit from Ye Fan.
"Yi, it's similar to the foundation stone of the Celestial Court?" Ye Fan was astonished.
Komatsu stuck out his small chest and then nodded. He turned around and jumped towards a cliff, bringing Ye Fan to a broken mountain. This place seemed to have been smashed down by something.
Ye Fan searched around and found a small piece of historical remains nearby. There was once a cultivator who lived here and used these jade stones to build a cave residence. However, it had been destroyed.
He caressed these jade stones and his heart throbbed. They really came from the same source as the foundation stone of the Celestial Court. There were similar formations inside, but it was a pity that there were only a dozen of them.
"Celestial Court … Kunlun …"
Ye Fan was shaken after thinking about it seriously. "Could it be that there is some connection between the Ancient Heaven and the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains?"
He couldn't help but feel shaken. He thought of many things because they all originated from the archaic era. They were so ancient that it was difficult to trace back.
During that era, who could control the ninety-nine vast dragon mountains to descend from one ancient star to another? Perhaps only the Ancient Heaven could.
"If there really was such a great power that could control the dragon mountains and destroy so many ancient stars with life to nurture the hope of immortal ascension, then it could only be it!"
In the end, the emperor died and the deities of the various regions fell into chaos. A great disaster occurred and the Celestial Court collapsed. The various reasons and secrets of the Primordial Era were already unknown.
Ye Fan's heart was in turmoil and couldn't calm down for a long time. The war of deities and the Celestial Court could actually be related to the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains. He stared fixedly at the depths of Kunlun and said, "Let's go and take a look with the octagonal map. Even if we can't obtain anything, it's enough to protect ourselves. Let's see what the so-called land of immortal ascension nurtures and what the so-called hope of immortal ascension is."
Komatsu's big black eyes flickered with a lively light as she jumped to his side. Ye Fan copied the topographic map and strode into the mountains, heading towards the depths of Kunlun.
