The chief of the Heavenly Scale Tribe, Bo Ren, requested Ye Fan to seal the mountain, saying that their cultivation was not high enough and that the seal would not be strong enough.
Ye Fan nodded. He knew that the Heavenly Scale Tribe was showing their determination. They were assuring him that they would not step out of the Changbai Mountain for the next five hundred years.
He didn't say too much, entering the Origin Dragon Cave. Immortal light shone brilliantly, auspicious energy like smoke. The ancient cave was extremely deep, mottled traces of time.
He first saw two praying mats and was surprised because there were traces of Dao on them. It was obvious that experts had been meditating here for a long time.
"Where are these two?"
Many people of the Heavenly Scale Tribe were nervous. The old Sky Snake quickly explained, "They are the protectors of the Primordial Dragon Cave. They have not returned for a hundred years."
He did not dare to hide anything. At Ye Fan's realm, no one could stop his powerful consciousness. There were no secrets to speak of.
Changbai Mountain was regarded as the ancestral land of the Dragon Rise by the Nüzhen Tribe. In ancient times, they would come here every year to pay their respects. The two protectors were the ancestors of the Nüzhen Tribe. If they were still alive, they should be more than a thousand years old.
"People from the Jin Dynasty …" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
When the Nüzhen Tribe came out of seclusion and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, these two people had already entered the cave. Later on, they were successful in cultivation and became the protectors of the Heavenly Scale Tribe.
"Ancient people." Ye Fan pondered. These two people's cultivation was not low and should be worth paying attention to.
The Manchu Qing also regarded Changbai Mountain as their ancestral land because they were the descendants of the Nüzhen Tribe. The two ancient people that Ye Fan killed not long ago were from the Qing Dynasty and were known as the protectors.
Obviously, they could not be compared to the protectors. These two ancient people from the Jin Dynasty were around a thousand years old and had survived since ancient times. They might not have died until now.
"They might not die after leaving for a hundred years." Ye Fan said softly and did not say anything else.
This ancient cave was very deep. It was said that there was an ancient Saint Emperor who went to the north and meditated here for hundreds of years. Hence, it was called the Primordial Dragon Cave.
In the depths of the ancient cave, there was a stone room that was dry and clean. There were no furnishings at all, and not even auspicious energy could approach. It could be described as simple and crude.
However, Ye Fan stared at this place. Ignoring everything else, he strode in and asked what kind of place it was.
Bo Ren, the Heavenly Serpent Clan Leader, replied. This was the place where their Primogenitor Demonic God resided in seclusion. He would often stay there for hundreds of years, and no one dared to approach.
"Where did Sky Snake Progenitor go?" Ye Fan asked.
Bo Ren sighed softly. The Spiritual Essence of Heaven and Earth had dried up. The Heavenly Serpent Ancestor had predicted that the future generations would be unfavorable for cultivation and would find it difficult to prove his Dao. Thus, he disappeared from the human world during the Warring States Period.
Ye Fan entered the stone room and closed his eyes to sense it. He felt that something was off. There was no demonic qi in the stone room. It was calm and peaceful, untainted by the mortal world. It was very special.
"It is said that in ancient times, a Saint Emperor came here to cultivate in seclusion. It was only a thousand years after he left that our ancestors found this place," the old Heavenly Snake said.
"That's right." Ye Fan let them leave and sat down cross-legged.
He sat there for half a month and didn't move a single step. During this time, he only passed on a Daoist book to Guo Zhen and gave him a few pieces of origin and two stalks of spirit medicine.
As for Komatsu, he was very restless. After gnawing on a stalk of spirit medicine, he climbed up and down in the stone room like a little naughty monkey that couldn't stay still.
"There is a stone diagram three zhang into the stone!"
Ye Fan was astonished. He opened his eyes half a month later. Who was it that left this behind? There was a diagram inside the stone wall that even the Heavenly Eye of Source couldn't see through.
This exceeded common sense. His Heavenly Eye could see through all fabrications and could see through the stone walls of mountains and rivers. Now, he only managed to catch a glimpse of it after comprehending the Dao for half a month.
He wanted to reach out and break the wall, but he suddenly stopped himself. He remembered a rumor that the ancient great mediums used their thoughts to carve the diagram and brand it into the stone. If he broke it by force, everything would be destroyed and nothing would be obtained.
Ye Fan didn't act rashly. In the end, he faced the stone wall and sat down cross-legged again. He remained motionless, quietly observing and comprehending. This made the Heavenly Snake Clan uneasy. They would be on tenterhooks as long as he didn't leave.
"The Heavenly Secret Technique of Source Break!"
In the present age, only Ye Fan could observe the diagram in the stone like this. Otherwise, even a Half-Saint would find it difficult to see the diagram three zhang deep into the stone wall.
He spent another half a month. His eyes were dry and his Heavenly Eye was almost broken. Only then did he see everything clearly and draw a stone carving.
The moment he saw it clearly, Ye Fan knew what it was. His heart trembled. He quickly took out a bone fragment and carved the mountain and river diagram he saw in the underground palace of Mount Lu.
"It's one piece. This is a part of the diagram!"
He was shocked and firmly remembered it in his heart. Then, he gently wiped away the traces he had carved.
Immortal Ascension Opportunity!
He didn't expect to see such a thing in the Primordial Dragon Cave. This was truly unexpected. He guessed that it was either carved by the Heavenly Snake Primogenitor or left behind by an ancient Sage Emperor.
In any case, it was at least a Great Sage!
The ancient people who were dismembered in the underground palace of Mount Dragon and Chi Song Zi, the immortal who was buried in fire on Mount Eight Ling — which one of them wasn't a Great Sage? Thinking about it, it was truly shocking. The Great Sage of the Human Race's collection of diagrams must be incomparably heaven-defying!
To be honest, Ye Fan didn't think much of it when he obtained the first stone carving and the second bone fragment. But now that he had obtained the third diagram, he was greatly moved. He wanted to collect all of them!
His parents had passed away and he had nothing else to ask for on Earth. Immortal Ascension was his only goal. This Immortal Ascension Painting was very important to him.
Ye Fan left Mount Changbai. He didn't take action personally and told them to seal themselves for 500 years. Then, he disappeared with Guo Zhen and Komatsu outside the snowy mountains.
In the outside world, it was already the beginning of spring. The ice and snow had melted, and tender shoots had broken through the soil. There was a faint smell of soil.
Ye Fan gave Guo Zhen some Daoist books, some Source Blocks, and spirit medicine. Then, they parted ways. They had gotten to know each other and given each other an opportunity. They couldn't always walk together. Everyone had their own path and path.
He and Komatsu returned to B City. During this period, he received a call from Xu Qiong. After so long, there was no news from her. She thought something had happened to him.
Ye Fan treated Xu Qiong and her family to a simple meal. Komatsu stayed at home and didn't dare to follow them. He was afraid that Xu Ye, that crazy girl, would torture him.
He rested for two days and then headed south. He was prepared to go to Thousand Demon Valley. According to the information he obtained from the Heavenly Scale Race, the mystery of whether Pang Bo was real or fake was related to this line.
Actually, he had already guessed whether he should go or not. He was only here to verify it.
Thousand Demon Valley was located in the Ba Mountains. In ancient times, it was unknown how many great demons had left their orthodoxy there. It had long become the holy land of the demon race.
The Da Ba Mountains referred to the mountains that stretched across the borders of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Hubei provinces. Ye Fan planned to go to Shennongjia in Hubei and enter from the east.
That was because, since the last century, there had always been rumors that there were savages in Shennongjia. Now that he was back, he also wanted to find out whether the so-called savages really existed.
Ye Fan brought Komatsu into Shennongjia. He walked very slowly, avoiding various scenic spots. He walked into an uninhabited area. The ancient trees had already sprouted, and the spring water was gurgling. It was very serene.
There were many bushes in the primitive area. The jungle was dense, so he didn't hurry. In the end, he even stayed in a valley for a few days to appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers.
"Savages, they've finally found them. Hurry up and chase after them. We must take a clear picture!" someone shouted.
Ye Fan saw a group of people chasing in the distant mountains. He took Komatsu and leaped lightly, silently overtaking them. Soon, he saw a strange man covered in long hair a few miles away.
When the savage saw Ye Fan coming through the air, he was scared out of his wits and knelt to beg for mercy. "Please spare my life, Immortal. I didn't hurt anyone. I was just accidentally discovered by humans."
Ye Fan was speechless. He finally knew what the so-called savage was. It was a small demon that had not completely transformed. It was covered in long hair and ran upright. It really looked like a savage.
"Which mountain do you cultivate in?"
"I'm a small demon in the Thousand Demon Valley. I often play with my friends. Occasionally, I come to Shennongjia along the east side of the Ba Mountains," the small demon replied.
In fact, it was not small. It was more than two meters tall when it stood upright. It was a wild ape that had transformed into a human. Seriously speaking, it was not much different from a savage.
Ye Fan suddenly smiled. He was about to go to the Thousand Demon Valley. He did not expect to meet a small demon in the valley, which saved him a lot of trouble. He did not make things difficult for the wild ape spirit because he could not help but think of the monkey in the Big Dipper when he saw it.
Generally speaking, the Ba Mountains were 1,000 kilometers long and bordered several provinces. The small demons in the Thousand Demon Valley would sometimes sneak out and play along the mountain range.
Ye Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. The mystery of the savages in Shennongjia originated from the Thousand Demon Valley? After learning the truth, he really did not know what to say, so he could only shake his head.
The wild ape was very fast. It went straight into the territory of Sichuan with Ye Fan and went deep into the Ba Mountains. They saw many hanging coffins on some uninhabited cliffs, which were full of mystery.
The cliffs were tall and the coffins were mottled. After thousands of years, it could be said to be a miracle.
"Haven't you opened them?" Ye Fan asked.
The wild ape shrank its neck and said, "We don't dare to open them. Everyone said that 500 years ago, an old valley master wanted to find an Earth Immortal. He opened many hanging coffins and died inexplicably in the end. After that, few people dared to open them."
Ye Fan sneered and said, "We are cultivators, are we afraid of this?"
"We can't say! The current third valley master also said that it was related to an ancient Earth Immortal. He told us not to touch it and to tell him immediately if we see a strange hanging coffin. "
When Ye Fan heard this, he thought of a paragraph in the ancient book "Taiping Royal Reading": "The residence of the Earth Immortal, there are thousands of hanging coffins on the cliff."
Soon, they entered the deepest part of the Ba Mountains, where there were few people. After turning left and right, they suddenly disappeared from a mountain ridge and entered a more vast area.
Ancient cliffs stood in great numbers, old trees towered into the sky, and apes cried and tigers roared. It was a very primitive landscape, as if no human had entered for thousands of years.
"Sure enough." Ye Fan nodded. The Myriad Demon Valley was also isolated from the human world, surrounded by an ancient formation, in a vast uninhabited area.
In ancient times, a demon god cultivated here, and then some famous great demons came to seek shelter, so it gradually became a holy land for the demon race.
The valley was called the Myriad Demon Valley because there was more than one kind of demon in the valley. There were all kinds of races, and every generation, three valley masters would be elected, all of whom were extremely powerful.
The Myriad Demon Valley was full of talents, and there were many demon races. In terms of power, it was actually more prosperous and powerful than the inheritance of the other three great demon gods.
Far away, Ye Fan saw a huge valley, where demon Qi soared into the sky, surrounded by ribbons of black fog, as if a peerless demon was lying dormant.
"It really is a holy land for demon cultivation." He observed the terrain of the mountains and rivers. This was a place of demons. According to the Book of Source Heaven, it was possible that an ancient demon emperor had transformed here, which created such a terrain.
Many small demons climbed up and down in the valley, and it was very lively. Ye Fan secretly thought that since this place was so prosperous, there might really be tens of thousands of demons.
A large black flag fluttered in the wind, with the three words "Myriad Demon Valley" written on it. It was inserted in the valley, and every time it fluttered, it seemed to be able to topple mountains and overturn seas, emitting bursts of thunder and extraordinary momentum.
Suddenly, drums sounded in the Myriad Demon Valley, and a group of great demons came out to greet them. They seemed to be able to roar through the world, pluck the stars and grab the moon. Their momentum was astonishing, and their demon Qi was monstrous.
"Honored guests, forgive me for not being able to welcome you."
In the middle was a monkey with a thunderous mouth, fiery eyes, and golden hair all over its body. It was a living Sacred Battle Ape!
Ye Fan was stunned, and he almost cried out. It was too similar to the monkey Big Dipper. The wild ape spirit beside him whispered. This was their third valley master.
"May I ask for the third valley master's name?"
The thunderous mouth, fiery eyes, and golden ears of the monkey king were very sensitive, and he answered, "Sun Wukong."
Ye Fan was stunned and petrified on the spot.
