A wisp of the saintess' weak spiritual imprint was transmitted, causing Ye Fan's heart to tremble. What kind of feeling was this?
She had used the sincerity of a saintess to chase after him, but it was only to find his footprints. She had followed behind and used her entire life to look up to him.
To be able to become a saintess, she had to be a proud goddess of a generation, shrouded in a divine halo, the center of attention of millions, looking down on the world.
However, she had abandoned everything and set out alone. She faced the cold and dark cosmos, constantly searching.
After a long period of time, the lonely path of a single person turned into a skeleton, passing away in a corner of the desolate cosmos.
She had lived a lonely life like this, and no one knew her final feelings.
There was no result, no hope, but this was the final outcome.
On the grand dao platform, the chaotic qi was hazy. The tall figure sitting cross-legged on the ground was motionless, as if he had never moved in the slightest since ancient times.
Ye Fan felt that the crescent moon pendant being able to calm Wu Shi's killing formation was enough to explain everything.
In the eyes of the world, Wu Shi was divine and omnipotent. He had intimidated all races, suppressed the seven great forbidden zones, annihilated the gods of the outer realms, and swept through the world. He was invincible in the heavens and earth, feared by all since ancient times.
However, no matter how great his abilities were, it was impossible for him to reverse time and change the saintess' fate.
There must have been some unknown past between them. Otherwise, the crescent moon pendant would not have been able to calm Wu Shi's formation. One had to know that even the Black Emperor could not enter this place and did not know if Wu Shi was dead or alive.
"What a pity. Although the ancient emperors were invincible in the heavens and earth, they were also the most sorrowful people."
Everyone had their own story. The ancient emperors were incomparably powerful, suppressing the heavens and sweeping through the outer realms, but they also had such regrets.
"Greetings, Emperor Wu Shi!" The blind old man kowtowed devoutly.
Duan De and Ye Fan were no exception. They solemnly bowed and sincerely paid their respects to Wu Shi. Those who walked the path of the great emperor did not fear the heavens, did not respect the earth, and did not believe in others. However, this did not mean that they did not respect the predecessors.
Wu Shi had made great contributions to the human race and was worthy of them paying their respects. This was the respect and reverence they should have.
"Emperor …" When the blind old man raised his head again, there was nothing in front of him.
"How could this be?" They were horrified. The tall and imposing figure disappeared, no longer on the dao platform, as if he had never appeared in the first place.
"Was he the one we saw just now?" They were doubtful.
"Perhaps it's a shadow left behind in the past."
After thinking about it carefully, they felt that this was the case. Otherwise, given how powerful the ancient emperors were, just a strand of their emperor's might was enough to crush the heavens and earth.
If his true body was here, they wouldn't be able to approach him at all. Most likely, they would immediately collapse, and their flesh and primordial spirits would no longer exist.
Who had ever seen a real emperor's corpse? No one in the world could approach him.
In the past, even the Undying Heavenly Emperor's skin had to be resisted by an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get close to the Undying Heavenly Emperor, let alone the true body of a Great Emperor.
The whole world was silent. This was the miserable second half of the Great Emperor's life.
If he's alive, he's nowhere to be seen. If he's dead, he's nowhere to be found. Where is Wu Shi? Where did he go?
At this moment, the three of them were filled with bewilderment. Thousands of wild and fanciful thoughts were running through their minds. What exactly happened? This dao platform was actually empty, without anything at all!
The dao platform was silent. Primal chaos mist was hazy. They carried complicated emotions as they walked forward step by step, carefully observing every inch of the area.
The ancient dao platform was mottled with the passage of time, recording the loneliness of the ancient emperor's life. He sat there alone, his back facing everyone. What was he looking at?
At the center of the dao platform, the majestic and imposing figure had disappeared. However, the figure with his back that was like a waterfall of black hair still remained in their hearts.
"There's something on the ground!"
On the ground where he sat, there was a tattered feather robe. It was unknown just how many tens of thousands of years had passed, but it had remained there all this time.
"Ascension Dao Robe!"
"Could it be that Great Emperor Wu Shi has already transformed into the dao?"
The three of them were all shaken, feeling somewhat sorrowful. Even the most powerful human emperor couldn't withstand the passage of time, and not even his corpse was left behind.
Wu Shi didn't leave anything behind. When he was alive, he was so divine and supreme within the nine heavens and ten earths. Yet when he passed away, he was so low-key, passing away like a wisp of wind.
When he died, there was no world-shaking event, nor did it shake the world. He simply disappeared with the wind just like that. Was this still the Great Emperor Wu Shi who made it hard for the myriad worlds to breathe?
"He left just like that. This doesn't seem like the incomparably powerful Wu Shi. Even if he died, he would still cause chaos in the world. Why would he choose to transform into an emperor's body?" Duan De muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Old Blind's body shook and revealed a look of disbelief. "This … could it be that he has ascended to become an immortal?"
Duan De was shocked. "What? Impossible! Since ancient times, who could become an immortal? All the legends of the past can't be trusted. We can find evidence that they are all fake. "
"Maybe Great Emperor Wu Shi really succeeded and forcefully broke through the shackles of heaven and earth, becoming an immortal." Old Blind's eyes were burning with passion.
It was recorded in ancient books that ascending to become an immortal was actually transforming into the dao. It was the end of one's life and not truly becoming an immortal.
However, there were people who retorted, saying that in the distant past, there were true immortals who existed. Ten thousand years was a tribulation, and only one person could ascend to immortality.
"I feel like he has transformed into the dao. Look at the ashes here, they are clearly left behind by the burning emperor's body when the great emperor ascended to heaven." Duan De stared at the tattered clothes.
"Ascending to heaven and ascending to immortality, the true body can only bring one weapon into the Celestial Domain. The ashes are the personal belongings of other great emperors that were destroyed." Old Blind retorted.
"This proves even more that Great Emperor Wu Shi has transformed into the dao because the Wu Shi Bell is still here and not taken away by him." Duan De said.
"Perhaps there are special reasons. He didn't have time to take away the emperor weapon and headed to the Celestial Domain alone. Since ancient times, who could open the path? The opportunity is fleeting. "Old Blind didn't have much confidence.
"Forget it, there is no point in fighting over these things. Regardless of whether he transformed into the dao or ascended to heaven, he has ascended to heaven and is no longer in this world. A chaotic world without a great human emperor is about to arrive. It is better to think about these things. "Ye interrupted them.
There was nothing else on the dao platform. The few of them all sighed. This truly exceeded their expectations. They were extremely disappointed.
In the end, Ye Fan placed the snow-white female saint's skull in the tattered feathered clothes and buried it here.
"Even if we can't be together in life, we'll be buried together in death." He sighed softly.
In the crevice of the cliff below the dao platform, an ancient king medicine blossomed with seven-colored flowers. It flickered with dazzling divine splendor. The entire plant was translucent and a sweet fragrance assailed the nostrils.
"How can we return empty-handed from a treasure mountain? Every single stalk of medicine is a life. We have to pluck all of them," Duan De said.
He was quite open-minded. He pulled Ye Fan along and let him pluck them. At this moment, they didn't dare to leave behind the crescent moon pendant. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to move even an inch and would immediately turn into fine powder.
The dao platform was densely packed with dao patterns. This was the flawless Wu Shi Killing Formation. Unless a great emperor personally came, no one could enter.
The chaotic waterfall poured down from the dao platform. The dao patterns were faintly discernible, but they didn't harm the three in the slightest. They climbed all the way and plucked eight stalks of ancient king medicine in one go.
Duan De and the old blind man were so excited that they trembled. Every stalk could prolong one's life by four hundred years. This was an astonishing amount of divine treasury. If they plucked a few more, it would almost be equivalent to an immortal medicine.
In the end, their bodies were filled with medicinal fragrance. Their flesh was almost transparent under the contrast of the ancient king medicine. When they breathed in the ancient medicine's essence, all the pores on their bodies opened up and they felt as if they were floating in the air.
When they climbed down the dao platform, they had collected a total of thirteen stalks of ancient king medicine. If this news were to spread, it would definitely shock the world.
Apart from the purple mountain, the other barren mountains and the great wastelands probably didn't have this many stalks. Every stalk had to be nourished with earth milk for more than eighty to ninety thousand years.
"We've struck it rich this time. Together, it's almost comparable to an immortal medicine!" Duan De was so excited that he was twitching.
The old blind man couldn't calm down either. His eyes were burning with passion and he was close to going crazy. He continuously stroked the ancient king medicine stalk after stalk, and what entered his eyes was a dazzling sparkling expanse.
When the three of them calmed down, Ye Fan flung the crescent moon pendant up the dao platform. It landed perfectly in front of the feather clothes and the sparkling white skull.
The endless chaotic waterfall poured down, submerging the dao platform. No one could take another step forward, or else they would definitely turn into ashes. Not even saints could do it.
"Wait a moment, do you guys think that this dao platform is a great tomb and that Wu Shi's corpse is inside?" Duan De suddenly said before leaving.
"This …" Ye Fan and the old blind man were both shocked.
"With my many years of tomb raiding experience, this might very well be an emperor tomb." Duan De was incomparably sure.
Even if it was, they still didn't have the power to enter. This dao platform was densely packed with patterns. If they really tried to dismantle it, not to mention holding the pendant, they would be erased even if they tried to dismantle it according to the diagram.
In the end, they left this place. The interior of the purple mountain was extremely large, and there were many places they hadn't explored yet. However, Ye Fan was no longer interested. He only wanted to go to the Wu Shi Bell.
The three of them walked back, and when they passed by the row of crystal coffins carved by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, they were all stupefied. Then, their entire bodies became ice-cold, and they felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
All of the crystal coffins had been opened, and they were all empty. There were a few black footprints on the ground. This place was just like the Asura Palace, cold and terrifying.
"Hurry up and leave!" Duan De shouted loudly. No one was more familiar with the tomb than him, and after seeing this scene, his face became pale.
"Aohou …"
Mournful wails could be heard from all directions. It was as if the gates of hell had been opened, and pitch-black withered figures were rushing over.
"Motherf * cker, they're all the Undying Heavenly Emperor's subordinates. This time, it's really dangerous. Every single one of them was a divine general from the legendary era!"
Even though these people had long since died and no longer had any magical power, their withered bodies were still extremely terrifying. With such a group rushing over, even the ancient Great Sage would be torn to pieces.
They had no other choice but to use the ancient Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar. Even if Ye Fan entered the divine shell, it would still be useless. There were just too many of these terrifying malicious spirits.
"There's a terrifying living creature controlling these withered corpses. He wants to steal the Medicine King."
The ancient Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar trembled and spat out large amounts of black light, creating a path. They quickly ran forward, not daring to stop.
The Great Emperor's weapon was indeed powerful, and it could definitely slaughter a large group. However, the consumption was too great, and it might even suck them dry. This was not a good place to fight to the death.
The three of them quickly fled, and a group of malicious spirits with either dragon heads or qilin bodies chased closely behind them. The entire interior of the purple mountain was in chaos, and there were corpses everywhere.
"Motherf * cker, even a saint would die with a grievance. How could that old bastard Undying Heavenly Emperor leave behind such a group of dog fart subordinates?" Duan De cursed.
"Boom!"
In the end, they had no choice but to activate the Heaven Devouring Jar, and a terrifying black light shot out. The Undying Heavenly Emperor's subordinates were extremely powerful, but they could only collapse.
"This won't do. There are too many of them, and they can't be gathered together. Moreover, there's a living creature leading them from the shadows." The old blind man frowned.
However, in the end, they finally retreated to the most spacious hall of the purple mountain, and a stone scripture was laid there.
"You guys leave, I want to stay." Ye Fan stuffed an emperor jade into the stone trough.
"Why are you staying? You'll die without a doubt here. Quickly leave with us," said the old blind man.
"There's no other way. The ten thousand ancient races are about to come into being, and without the power to intimidate them, an unprecedented dark upheaval will arrive," said Ye Fan.
"What do you want to do?"
"The purple mountain is my first stop. I want the Wu Shi Bell to ring for three months and intimidate the world. I want them to doubt Wu Shi's life and death," said Ye Fan.
"You're crazy. Not to mention three months, even three consecutive rings will turn you into ashes. Even a saint shell can't stop the Wu Shi Bell Wave!"
"I have a way to stop it. You guys leave quickly." Ye Fan urged. He pressed an emperor jade into the groove, and a screen of light immediately burst forth, cutting open the void.
"If you dare to stay, we won't have the face to leave if we don't do something," said the old blind man. He was determined to leave the Heaven Devouring Devil Jar behind.
Duan De was about to cry, but he didn't oppose. With a sobbing tone, he said, "Dammit, don't lose it. Three months later, I'll come back to dig the grave and steal my own treasure."
Moreover, out of the thirteen king medicines, the two of them only took four. The other nine were left for Ye Fan to use to prolong his life.
The Wu Shi Bell was about to ring, and an unprecedented storm was about to arrive!
