The cave was extremely dry and smooth. Animals often entered and exited, all of them polished until they shone. The small stone buddha was placed at the side of the cave entrance, able to block out the wind and rain.
"Rumble!"
One could see a pair of large bright eyes in the cave. They were a bit scared, but also a bit curious as they moved about.
This was a small creature. For it to have such extraordinary cultivation in this Cultivationless Age, it truly exceeded Ye Fan's expectations. It couldn't be helped but be called a miracle.
"Come out, I won't harm you." Ye Fan released a strand of his divine consciousness.
The little thing in the cave had extraordinary cultivation, so it naturally developed intelligence and understood the intent of his divine consciousness. However, it was still a bit timid, because it could sense how powerful this person was. He could actually stay in the air for a long time, this was something it couldn't do!
In the end, it still stuck its head out, almost as if it was trying to curry favor. It blinked its large eyes and extended a pair of small claws, carefully standing at the cave entrance.
What kind of race was this little creature? Ye Fan was astonished. He actually didn't recognize it at first. It was a foot long, and if its fluffy tail was added, it would be two feet.
Its entire body flickered with purple light like satin. Its purple fur was long and supple, making one want to touch it. It was a bit excessively beautiful. It might even be able to kill a few young ladies who liked to raise small pets.
"A sable?" Ye Fan was bewildered. He then shook his head. It didn't look like one, and it looked even cuter than a sable.
Squirrel!
In the end, he confirmed it. He was extremely astonished. It was truly rare for a squirrel to grow like this. Its entire body was translucent like amethyst, excessively exquisite.
Its pair of eyes were like two black gems, and they were extremely large. They blinked pitifully, flickering with radiance.
"It really is a strange species. How did you cultivate to this level?" Ye Fan sat on top of the mountain and picked up the small buddha. It was unexpectedly heavy.
He was quite astonished. The seemingly crude little buddha was only the height of a palm, yet it weighed a thousand jin. It was impossible for a normal person to pick it up. He knew that he made an error in judgment. This was definitely a treasure, or else how could it be so heavy!
On the ground, the mystical Komatsu Mouse stood upright and looked at the stone Buddha with some reluctance, as if it had lost its most beloved treasure. However, it did not dare to resist and looked down at its little paws.
For the first time in many days, Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, "Do you think I would steal your treasure?"
When the little thing heard this, it immediately became spirited. It blinked its big eyes in a flattering manner and bowed with its pair of small claws, as if it was bowing.
There were almost no squirrels on Earth that were purple, except for a few mutated ones that had a light color. However, this one was sparkling like an amethyst, and every soft hair on its body was shining with purple light.
Since it was so special, if it was sold as a pet, it would definitely attract everyone's attention.
"Just how powerful are you? Show me." Ye Fan sat on the stone mountain.
This little thing's big eyes were sparkling like a child showing off a treasure. It worked hard and waited for him to praise it.
"Whoosh!"
It turned into a beam of purple light and rushed into the sky, about a hundred meters away. Then, it wobbled and took a dozen steps in the air before it could not hold on any longer and quickly fell down.
The first secret plane of the human body was the Sea of Reincarnation. There were four small planes, namely the Bitter Sea, Life River, Divine Bridge, and Paramita. As long as one reached the Life River stage, they would be able to fly.
In comparison, although the Demon Clan was different, there was not much difference in comparison.
This little thing wobbled around. It was obvious that it had just entered Daoism. Compared to the Saints of the demon race, it was like heaven and earth.
However, to be able to do this on Earth was already not bad. The Great Path could not be sensed. To be able to cultivate to this level, it could be said to be a shocking anomaly.
Moreover, Ye Fan looked at it seriously. This little thing was far more mystical than he had imagined. It was far beyond the Life River stage and had already broken through the Sea of Reincarnation to enter the second secret plane of the Palace. Of course, this was according to the human classification system.
"Earth is really scary. Even the cultivators of the Palace are suppressed to the point that they cannot fly for long distances. They can only rush out a hundred meters before they can't hold on any longer."
At the same time, he could not help but be surprised. This purple squirrel was extraordinary. This was a heaven-defying little demon that had grown up in a situation where the Great Path did not allow it!
Ye Fan tried to sense the essence of heaven and earth, but in a very large area, he could only capture a few strands. It was too thin. To be able to cultivate to this level under such circumstances, was it the son of the Demon Emperor?
He immediately revealed a strange expression, wanting to see through this little thing. The Purple Komatsu Squirrel was immediately afraid. It held up the stone Buddha with its little paws and with a pitiful expression, it handed it over to him, trying to please him.
"I will not steal your things. I just want to know, how do you cultivate?"
The purple squirrel shook its fluffy tail and put down the stone Buddha. It pointed at the head of the Buddha and then at the sky. This puzzled Ye Fan. He had already seen the stone Buddha. Other than its sturdiness and weight, he did not find anything else.
Not long after, the sky darkened and stars dotted the sky. A silver plate appeared. At this time, something strange happened to the stone Buddha. A halo of Buddha light appeared behind its head, formed by the essence of the moon.
"I see, you rely on it to cultivate." Ye Fan nodded.
The Purple Komatsu Squirrel breathed in and out to the moon. After being transformed by the halo behind the head of the stone Buddha, its essence was filled with mysterious marks of the Dao. This was the reason why it could be close to the Great Path.
The moonlight was originally very scattered, but after being guided by the stone Buddha, the light spots in this area multiplied countless times and were all absorbed by this little thing.
"This is really a strange treasure. I can't believe I couldn't see through it. Although the Qi Practitioners have all left Earth, they still left behind some mysterious things."
In the latter half of the night, this little thing pulled on the corner of Ye Fan's hair and timidly invited him to go with it, as if it wanted to do something.
Ye Fan was surprised. He followed it down the mountain and arrived in front of the ruins of the ancient temple. There was a huge crack in the foundation that led underground.
The Komatsu Squirrel jumped down with Ye Fan following behind. After a few turns and tens of meters, he was immediately shocked. He actually saw a huge dragon head that looked exactly like a real dragon!
This made him incomparably shocked. How could such a thing appear? Even in the Big Dipper Star Region, ancestral veins that stretched for millions of miles might not be born. It was even more impossible for Earth to have such a large territory.
This was an ancestral root under the earth. It had turned into the shape of a dragon and revealed a stone dragon head. However, it was already dead, which meant that this vein had lost its spirituality.
Earth was in the Degenerate Age, so it was normal to have no spirituality. However, there shouldn't be a lifelike stone dragon. In such a limited territory, it was absolutely impossible for such a lifelike stone dragon to be born.
Ye Fan used his powerful divine sense to explore and was shocked to find that this dead stone dragon only belonged to this area and didn't extend far.
"What's going on? Could it be that Earth in ancient times was much vaster than it is now?"
In front of the dragon's mouth, there was a small broken earthen jar. There was a small amount of sparkling and translucent liquid inside, and wisps of refreshing fragrance wafted out.
The little purple creature ran forward and carefully lifted it up. It raised it for Ye Fan to drink, but it didn't live up to his expectations and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It was obvious that it was also very hopeful.
Ye Fan picked up the small earthen jar and sniffed it. A strange expression appeared on his face. This was the spiritual milk of the earth. It was too rare to find such a thing on Earth today, but it was useless to him.
This was the liquid that dripped from the dragon's mouth. It would take about half a month to accumulate half a bowl. He let out a light sigh. This dragon was completely dead, and this was the last of its "dragon saliva".
Ye Fan returned the earthen jar to it. The little creature was a little confused, but then it blinked its large black gem-like eyes and still sincerely offered it to him to drink. During this process, it secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It was obvious that this was very precious to it.
"I don't need it." Ye Fan communicated with it with his divine will and asked if there were any other beast species that knew how to cultivate. He felt that it was pure and kind, so he didn't invade its soul with his divine will.
This purple Komatsu couldn't speak, but its divine will was still able to communicate fairly clearly. It had never left this area and had never seen a creature with cultivation.
At the same time, Ye Fan also learned of its origin.
This thing pointed to a cave not far away, and there was a small skeleton that belonged to a squirrel. To be exact, it was its mother.
Scenes appeared in Ye Fan's mind. A vicious bird swooped down, and a squirrel protected its cub and fled with all its might. In the end, it still suffered heavy injuries and could only pick up one cub with its mouth and escape into a crack in the ground, arriving here.
Not long after, the injured squirrel died, and the cub crawled about wildly. It grew up licking the dripping spiritual milk under the dragon's head.
Ye Fan sighed softly. This little thing wasn't human, but just a small creature. However, it still made him sigh because he had just been separated from his parents forever.
However, the purple little thing pointed to the cave where its mother's remains were buried. It was carefree and didn't know what sorrow was, and it had an innocent look on its face.
Ye Fan took out a piece of divine source, and suddenly, essence energy overflowed in all directions, illuminating the entire cave. The purple squirrel was almost scared stiff. It put down the small earthen jar and timidly took a few steps back.
"Don't be afraid, this is for you." Ye Fan handed it over. In this era where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was scarce, a piece of divine source was priceless to low-level cultivators.
The little thing slowly came back to its senses and recognized that it was a rare treasure. It immediately hugged it in its arms and was extremely happy. It heartlessly rolled around under the dragon's head.
"Are you willing to leave this place with me?" Ye Fan saw such a cultivated little thing, and after spending some time with it, he temporarily forgot his sorrow and wanted to take it with him.
This purple crystal-like squirrel was startled. It had never thought of leaving and was full of attachment to this place. After arriving at the stone mountain, it looked at the bright moon and the dilapidated ancient temple, and it didn't know what to do.
"Forget it," Ye Fan said, rising to his feet and turning to leave. "People need to live freely. You're the same. Just stay here and cultivate."
"Whoosh!"
As if a ray of wisdom had crossed its mind, the purple little thing caught up to him and grabbed his trousers. It raised its head pitifully, and although it was reluctant, it still decided to leave.
Ye Fan helped it put away the small stone Buddha. Stepping on the moonlight, he flew across the sky like an immortal and left Tibet.
"From now on, you will be my second disciple."
The purple little thing was puzzled, but it was still very happy and laughed without a care in the world.
In a trance, Ye Fan saw a ray of divinity in the purple radiance that was overflowing from its body. He couldn't help but say to himself, "Demon Emperor."
After saying this, he was shocked to find that the stone Buddha in his hand had also trembled. In that instant, the divine halo behind the stone Buddha's head seemed to have turned into a stone mirror.
After looking carefully, there was nothing. The purple Komatsu Squirrel was still so cute, and the stone Buddha was also so simple. Ye Fan, however, was silent for a moment.
On the way back, Ye Fan tried a hundred times and finally, he probed the inside of the stone Buddha with his divine sense. There was nothing else but a few golden ancient characters. They were ancient Sanskrit, and they looked like a few Buddhas sitting cross-legged!
He didn't know what they meant and was ready to investigate to find out what they were.
Ye Fan returned to B City again. Although he was still sad, he felt better after going to Tibet. He forced himself to bury his sadness because he still had some things to do.
Back then, before he set foot on the journey back, he discussed with Pang Bo that he would visit the homes of all his classmates who were lost in the Bei Dou Star Region and take care of them on their behalf.
"Pang Bo, I naturally believe in you. I have always treated you as a good brother who has gone through thick and thin with me."
Before ascending the Five-Colored Altar, Pang Bo suddenly left. Then, Li Xiaoman said that he was a great evil, but Ye Fan didn't believe it. Even if there was something strange about Pang Bo, the friendship that had gone through thick and thin with him could not be fake.
After returning to B City, Ye Fan first treated Xu Qiong's family to a meal. In this world, he didn't want to reveal too much of his supernatural power, lest it was too shocking. Moreover, he always felt that the earth was too mysterious, and he was afraid that someone was looking down on everything in the world.
He asked Xu Qiong to help him quickly find out where the families of some of his classmates were. In the process, he also handed the ancient Sanskrit characters on the stone Buddha to Yang Xiao and asked him to find someone to decipher it.
Not long after, Yang Xiao really found someone to translate it for him and gave him the result. This surprised Ye Fan!
