The land of immortal ascension was a mysterious place. Since ancient times, countless heroes had wanted to come here to see what was going on, but almost all of them had died with regrets.
Tens of thousands of mountains stood side by side, forming a valley. Each Dragon Head Peak opened its mouth and poured down a colorful waterfall. Immortal light surged and gathered at the center of the immortal pond.
"What's in the pond?" Ye Fan could not see clearly. The divine light in the pond was so dazzling that he could not see through it even with his Heavenly Eye open.
Immortal qi lingered in the valley, and auspicious lights flickered. All kinds of immortal splendor flowed about, forming a magnificent scene of immortals.
Even Longma could not help but feel excited. Its four hooves stomped the ground, unable to calm down. It wanted nothing more than to rush over immediately. It was born in Kunlun and naturally knew about the land of immortal ascension, but it had never had the chance to enter.
Ye Fan's expression was excited. He grabbed the ancient scroll with one hand and clenched his fist with the other. He had finally entered and was about to reveal the eternal mystery!
At this time, the calmest was still Komatsu. It did not think too much. The immortal pond only piqued its curiosity and was not as practical as the Medicine King. The little purple thing was even more tempted.
A pure heart was the rarest, and this was also the reason why its cultivation could improve so quickly.
"Let's go!" Ye Fan jumped off Longma and personally led the way. This place was very important and would determine whether he could become an immortal in the future.
The murderous intent here was even stronger. Even if it was not activated, it would still make one's heart palpitate. This was under the condition that the immortal mist had concealed most of the murderous intent.
One could clearly see that there were lines of intricate patterns in the air. They interweaved to form the orbit of a star field and covered every corner. One could imagine that once they were activated, they would be consigned to eternal damnation.
It was impossible to fly in this land of immortal ascension. Only immortal grass could grow on the ground. This was definitely the Origin Emperor's method. Even though the killing formations were densely packed, they still provided a pure land for the divine medicine to live in.
"Their roots have merged with the laws here. Only by obtaining its approval can they survive here," Ye Fan muttered to himself.
Immediately after, he shivered. The laws and killing arrays in this place were so powerful that they made one's heart skip a beat. The "Formation God" that the Black Emperor had mentioned must have already been born!
"That's right, that must be it." His pupils rapidly contracted, and he became even more convinced after a closer look. Back then, the person who set up the formation was extremely skilled and allowed the formation to evolve the will of a deity. It gained life and turned into a living being that was formed from interweaving dao marks.
Only by bringing this immortal treasure could one enter the formation. This was no longer just a safe path map, it had also become a type of keepsake. Otherwise, even if one understood the operation and layout of the formation, they would most likely die. The methods of the ancient emperors were unpredictable. They could turn the formation into a living spirit, and the formation itself could change freely.
The Black Emperor had said that this was the highest realm of dao patterns and formations. The birth of a god within the formation was only a heaven-defying performance of the ancient emperors. It was equivalent to the continuation of their lives.
The terrain in the valley was uneven, and there was not a single speck of dust. There were jade-like medicinal fields everywhere. The people back then had already predicted that this place would definitely give birth to precious medicines, and even immortal divine medicines, which would make the celestial pond even more holy.
Among these ancient medicines, Ye Fan had discovered who knew how many stalks of medicine king. His heart trembled violently. If all of these were put together, they would be even more precious than divine medicines.
Unfortunately, he could only be envious. Apart from those he met on the path, he couldn't act rashly even if the others were right in front of him and within reach. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer a great calamity.
Longma swallowed and spat out immortal light. His eyes were about to pop out, and Komatsu also couldn't move. From time to time, a medicine king would appear, and he could obtain it just by leaning over. This was a great temptation.
It was like a demonic fruit polished from red agate. It was sparkling and glistening, and its fragrance assailed the nostrils. It was like an immortal orchid carved from jade. It was emerald green and tender, and its entire body was translucent. Its fragrance assailed the senses. The cloud vines entwined with green multicolored clouds were misty, and the fragrance seeped into the heart.
There were countless types of ancient medicines of different grades. It was as if they had accidentally barged into an immortal's medicine garden. There were precious treasures everywhere.
Every stalk of ancient medicine was overflowing with brilliant colors, dazzling and dazzling. There were even more withered and dead medicine kings that had lost their luster and collapsed on the ground. The spiritual essence they released nourished this place.
Because too much time had passed, medicine kings weren't immortal divine medicines. It wasn't easy for them to grow to eighty or ninety thousand years old. Any longer and they would turn into mud and decline.
It was unknown how many generations the immortal vine divine orchids had existed here. The current medicine kings were all born from the medicinal seeds that had once again sprouted and taken root. They had flourished for tens of thousands of generations, withered and flourished again.
Ye Fan and the others continued forward. On this relatively safe and winding path, Komatsu dug up a total of eleven stalks of medicine kings. This was an extremely great harvest. If news of this were to spread, it would definitely leave everyone stupefied.
They were finally close and about to reach the immortal pond. It was also at this time that Ye Fan saw a grave. It was extremely strange. It was located right at the side of the road, cutting off the formation within the immortal valley.
He couldn't help but be shocked. Just how high of a cultivation did one have to be to dare to wantonly destroy a great emperor's killing formation that was born with the will of a deity and create a grave? His methods were truly heaven-defying.
Ye Fan opened his Heavenly Eye and looked into the grave. He saw dozens of fragments that were pieced together to form a devil mask. It was accompanied by bloody clothes, causing his expression to tremble.
The devil mask that was full of cracks seemed to be crying yet not crying, smiling yet not smiling. There was sadness within the smile, and there was also a smile within the wound. It was exactly the same as the marks on the Heaven Devouring Evil Jar!
"It's him, he died here!"
It was definitely that youth. After parting with the Vicious Great Emperor, they never met again. Life and death were boundless, and his corpse lay in the land of immortal ascension. He was unable to break free from his predetermined fate.
"I was just worried about my younger sister …"
Within the grave, from the broken devil mask, there was actually such a weak voice that carried regret, unwillingness, and pleading. It was as if it had crossed through the ages to arrive.
Even though this mask was made of ordinary copper and the workmanship was crude, it had a type of indescribable charm. It made one's heart palpitate as it lay within the grave.
Ye Fan sighed. The Vicious Great Emperor used a heaven-defying forbidden divine technique to reconstruct some of the scenes she wanted to know, allowing the youth's final words to continue.
"Not to become an immortal, just to wait for you to return from this mortal world."
A woman's voice seemed to come from above the nine heavens, causing all the deities to tremble uncontrollably. In the heavens above and earth below, only she reigned supreme, choosing a path that the world couldn't understand.
Ye Fan, Komatsu, and Longma quivered. A woman who looked down on the ages, overlooking the past, present, and future, a single sentence from her would last through the ages.
There was no monument erected in front of this grave, and no traces of the dao could be seen either. However, it traversed through the formation and existed eternally. It couldn't be denied that this was a type of miracle.
In a trance, Ye Fan saw a little girl who was no more than two or three years old. Her figure was very blurry, and her hair was combed into a pair of sheep horn braids. Her face couldn't be seen clearly, only a pair of pure big eyes filled with tears as she cried pitifully. Her clothes were patched up, and she wore a pair of small shoes that revealed her toes. She helplessly reached out her little hands, trying to grab onto something.
He shook his head forcefully. The grave was still a grave, and there was nothing else except for the bloody clothes and pieces of the mask.
Ye Fan stopped for a moment before turning around to leave. His heart was filled with sorrow. The Vicious Great Emperor's name had shaken the ages, and his talent was number one. He had created all kinds of peerless techniques, yet he met with such misfortune. Even though he stood above the nine heavens and made all the deities tremble, it was difficult to change his ending.
Even though Longma had a fiery temper, he was still well-behaved in this place. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly as he followed closely behind.
The ancient scroll was unfurled, and Ye Fan compared it to the topographic map. They passed through an area that not many people had been able to reach, and they approached the celestial pond at the very center. Rays of multicolored light flew over, illuminating their entire bodies.
This was an intoxicating place. Auspicious light overflowed, and propitious energy was in the tens of thousands. It was difficult to find a second place like this in the entire world. If one could cultivate here for a long time, they would definitely reap great benefits.
However, no one dared to stay here for a long time to comprehend techniques. If they were to trigger the Great Dao and fuse it with this ancient spell formation, they would have to face the consequences!
Whoosh!
An ancient medicine in the medicine field flashed and disappeared, leaving behind a fragrant scent that made one's bones feel intoxicated. The mist of light entered their bodies. Ye Fan, Longma, and Komatsu felt as if they were about to ascend to the heavens. Their entire bodies felt comfortable, and even their joints were creaking.
"The Elixir of Immortality!"
There was a type of divine medicine in the celestial valley that could fly on its own. The deities born from the spell formation did not harm it, and it hid into the distance.
"As expected of the celestial realm, they even have an immortal medicine!"
Ye Fan exclaimed. The Yongseong Clan had already obtained one, and there was actually another here. However, it was not surprising that a place where immortals were born would produce such a divine medicine.
He remembered the Polygonum Multiflorum's words, so he stopped here and transmitted his voice into the distance. He said that there would be a great calamity in this place, and he asked the immortal medicine if it was willing to leave with him.
Longma rolled his eyes at the side. How could a person be so shameless? He wanted to capture the immortal medicine, and yet he acted so pompously, as if it was for its own good.
However, contrary to Longma's expectations, the divine medicine really did respond positively. It used its weak divine sense to transmit a message, telling Ye Fan that if he took away the hope of becoming an immortal, the calamity here would be resolved on its own. However, if he could not take it away, then it would leave with him.
Multicolored light flowed, and mist filled the air. Ye Fan was speechless. He did not see the true body of the divine medicine, and it was obvious that he had to make a choice between the two. He really did not know what to do with the immortal medicine.
Ye Fan could only choose to continue on his way. Although the immortal medicine was hard to find in this world, and an ancient star with life might not even produce one, it was not impossible to find one. Moreover, the hope of becoming an immortal was the only one since ancient times!
The rest of the journey was smooth, and they walked all the way to the celestial pond. Along the way, Komatsu dug up a total of seventeen king medicines. If this news was spread to any star region, it would be shocking and unbelievable. This was a miracle!
"This is the celestial pond that nurtures the hope of becoming an immortal." Ye Fan's voice trembled. They had finally arrived, and even he could not suppress his excitement. This eternal mystery was finally going to be revealed.
Longma's entire body was covered in flames. Its large head forcefully bumped Ye Fan, and it wanted nothing more than to jump into the celestial pond. Only Komatsu was very quiet. He carried the small medicine basket on his back and stood at Ye Fan's side, curiously sizing him up.
"This …" Ye Fan was shocked. He carefully observed and discovered that this land of immortality was actually like a placenta. It was smashed by a palm and turned into a pond!
"Who did this?" His expression immediately changed. Could it be that the hope of becoming an immortal was taken away by someone, or perhaps it was destroyed? However, that was not right. Just now, the divine medicine had already said that the hope of becoming an immortal was still here.
"It was done by a vicious person!" When Ye Fan thought of this result, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. This Great Empress was extraordinary after all. It really was as she said, she did not want to become an immortal!
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of innate essence energy. He wanted to disperse the thousands of strands of multicolored light that shot out from the celestial pond. It was because this place was too resplendent, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
The immortal light was cut open. He opened his Heavenly Eye and gazed into the pond, and his mind was immediately shaken. He saw an artifact, and the hope of becoming an immortal still existed at the bottom of the pond!
