Chapter Seventy Leaving
The wicked Taoist sighed repeatedly, saying: "It's impossible to enter this tomb again, damn it..." He had been obsessed with Qingtong, and now he suddenly lost the opportunity, making him regretful and remorseful.
The killing array inside the Cold Pond has been activated, but people outside the Cold Pond are safe.
At this moment, five sharp lights flew in quickly, and the five big men were all shocked. They rushed to the mountain ridge at the first time, emitting a strong sense of oppression, like gods suspended in the air.
Ye Fan wanted to observe them, but found that he couldn't see through the dazzling divine light at all, and could only see five clusters of bright divine light, nothing else was visible.
"Yao Emperor's Tomb!" One of them inhaled a breath of cold air, his eyes gleaming like torches, and at a glance he understood what was beneath the icy pool.
"Volcanoes are yang tombs, while the cold and dark pool is a yin tomb. With one yang and one yin embracing the ultimate, they can seize the creative power of heaven and earth, giving rise to endless changes." Another great figure sighed and said, "The Demon Emperor is indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for an accidental discovery, it would be hard to imagine that he actually set up two tombs, one yin and one yang."
"This is going to be a big trouble, the Yin Tomb has opened its killing formation, it's very hard to get in now!"
"The treasure of the Eastern Wastes has yet to be seen, and more than half of the ruins are hidden within this tomb!"
Several big shots found it hard to calm down, but for a moment, they couldn't think of a solution and didn't dare to enter the tomb of the Demon Emperor easily.
"It's not that there's no way at all, after a myriad of years have passed, even with the most perfect arrangement, a slight flaw will still appear, we can carefully sneak in and observe for a while before making a decision."
"Good!"
At this time, all five clusters of light descended, and one cluster of light instantly enveloped the wicked Taoist.
"I just heard someone say that even if they met a disciple of the Holy Land, they would dare to slap them to death. It seems you're quite extraordinary. This place was triggered by you, why don't you come down with us?"
The face of the wicked Taoist turned green on the spot, and he hastily said: "Several seniors, I spoke nonsense, don't take me seriously. Now that this tomb has been opened, it's a must-kill situation. With my cultivation, if I go down, I'll surely die."
"As expected, it's not simple. Even the Yang tomb and Yin grave know about it. It seems you're indeed extraordinary. Let's go down together!"
"Spare me, I said have mercy on your juniors..." The wicked Taoist priest cried out in a pitiful manner.
Brush
Five rays of light flashed, and five super big shots dragged the green-faced unscrupulous Taoist priest into the blood-colored icy pool in an instant. The miserable cries of the unscrupulous Taoist priest like a pig being slaughtered suddenly stopped.
As they entered, the icy pool churned and foamed, sending up a skyful of bloody light, while those demon generals had already vanished into it one step ahead.
"It's true that evil people will be punished by other evil people, you fat ass, go seek your own good fortune!" Ye Fan stood up, patted his butt, and left this place, he couldn't stay here no matter what.
Rumbling sound
Blood-colored light flashed, the entire primitive ruins were shrouded in blood light, and it became a piece of eerie and strange, abnormally terrifying.
At this moment, everyone has a heart-pounding feeling, under the blood-colored icy pool, as if there is an earth-shaking change happening!
Ye Fan left the mountain ridge and hid far away.
At this moment, the mountains and rivers in all directions have been engraved with Taoist patterns, sealing off this ancient land. Ye Fan was unable to break through and could only wander around the mountains. He was waiting for an opportunity to leave, but now that he had obtained a page of the Golden Book, and unexpectedly acquired a mysterious green copper, it could be said that it was a "harvest" that made all cultivators go crazy. Leaving far away was the best choice.
"Hoping to ban it before it breaks..."
Ye Fanxiu was too weak and couldn't compete with those cultivators for the Tongling weapon, so he understood his situation and chose to walk in desolate places.
Ye Fan opened a jade box, and suddenly a fragrance wafted up to his nose. The orchid in the box was emitting a strong scent, and at this moment he wanted to take action, thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to search for spiritual medicine. Now that he had obtained one page of the Golden Book, the complete "Wheel Sea Volume" would guide him forward. If he could find enough spiritual medicine now, he would surely be able to achieve something in a short period of time.
Ye Fan quickly set off, walking into the depths of the mountain. Since the emergence of the Demon Emperor's tomb, many spiritual beasts had almost all escaped, with only a few hiding in caves and refusing to come out. At this moment, wanting to pick spiritual herbs was easier than usual by countless times.
Before, when he came to the depths of the ruins, Ye Fan remembered passing through a swamp and discovering a powerful alien beast that seemed to be guarding something. At the time, he had bypassed it from afar, but now he decided to go take another look.
After searching for the mountainous area, Ye Fan quickly found the swamp. He faintly felt a surge of evil energy and discovered many giant scales in the swamp, each as big as a palm.
"It seems like there was a big guy hiding here earlier, fortunately he's already left."
Ye Fan searched carefully for a long time but found nothing, until he discovered an anomaly in the place where the scales fell off the most. There was a strange plant here that looked very ordinary, but the beast seemed to be avoiding it carefully and hadn't stepped on it.
He was a bit suspicious, so he squatted down and dug into the soil towards the roots, digging over a meter deep, but still didn't find anything unusual.
Just as Ye Fan was about to give up, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared before his eyes. Under the mud, at the end of this plant's main root, there was actually a golden stem block, roughly the size of a longan fruit, shining brightly.
"This is..."
Ye Fan was shocked, and suddenly remembered that when he was browsing through the spiritual medicine books in the Lingxu Cave Heaven, he had seen a record that said that some ancient trees that had failed to become spirits would not necessarily be completely annihilated, but would often leave behind a bit of their life essence, attaching themselves to the roots of other plants, and might possibly be reborn in the future.
"Could this be a bit of essence left behind by the old tree spirit?" Ye Fan looked at the golden block, revealing a joyful expression, and then stored it in a jade box.
He then proceeded to the next location and soon came to a stone mountain, at the foot of which was a huge black hole, from which a faint fragrance emanated.
Ye Fan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked inside.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the stone cave, accompanied by waves of terrifying aura.
Ye Fan's body stiffened suddenly, and he hastily retreated backward, fleeing as if in flight.
A series of loud roars echoed, a ferocious beast poked out more than half of its body from the stone cave, constantly letting out low growls. It resembled a wolf, but its entire body was hairless, with sharp poisonous thorns growing all over, inky black in color, looking somewhat frightening.
It can grow up to 7 or 8 meters, with a very heavy and bloody aura. When it lets out a low growl, its entire body is covered in a dark, flame-like glow that seems like black fire burning.
Ye Fan hid in the distance, and at a glance, he knew that this fierce beast was not something he could provoke, it was much stronger than the Jade Horned Snake, and its aura was extremely intimidating.
"All the other strange beasts have escaped, but it dares to stay behind, it must be extraordinary!"
In the end, Ye Fan didn't gain anything here and started to look elsewhere. Two hours later, he found three more spiritual herbs, but they weren't particularly rare or precious, far inferior to that golden stem.
Boom
At this moment, a vast expanse of bloody light erupted from the Cold Pool, and several figures shot up into the sky, engaging in an intense battle.
There was a monster, all black, resembling a lion, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't one. It looked exactly like the legendary Qilin and fought evenly with a great figure.
"Unexpectedly, the mount of the Demon Emperor from back then was sealed in ice here, its corpse not rotting, transforming into a spirit corpse, and it actually became a tomb guardian!" Several big shots in the sky surrounded the monster, wanting to exterminate it.
"It's said that descendants of the Qilin are extraordinary, and indeed they are. Having followed the Demon Emperor for only a short time, he has already transformed to such an unimaginable realm."
That black beast rampaged back and forth, yet showed no signs of defeat, several times almost charging back into the icy pool.
Rumbling
The cold pool seemed to be boiling, and the corpses of the demon generals kept rushing out, controlled by that Jiao, and killing towards the sky.
"Even if we behead this zombie, we still can't decipher the Dao pattern laid down by the Demon Emperor and truly enter the Yin Tomb..."
In the distance, Ye Fan was extremely shocked. Under the tomb, there seemed to be a lot of strange things, and now so many monsters rushed out.
Clang Clang Clang
Suddenly, the ruins of all sides suddenly transmitted a burst of clanging sounds, initially like the vibration of metal and stone, then like a tsunami, vast and surging, rumbling and resonating. Next, from all directions, a brilliant divine light burst forth, overwhelming the ten directions with endless divine radiance.
The "Tao pattern" laid down by the five bigwigs was forcibly broken through!
This shocked everyone! The crowd knew that another top-notch expert had arrived, and it wasn't just one person. They shattered the "Dao pattern" laid out by the five big shots and dismantled the not-so-perfect "Tian Shi".
Then, a rainbow of divine light rushed in, and countless cultivators arrived, increasing the number of people by several times. The few big shots who made a move in secret did not show up, but apparently they had also entered the ruins.
In the original ruins, with Cold Pond as the center, the bloody fog drifted and became more and more strange. Countless monsters rushed out, while cultivators gathered more and more, no one left, and more sects were rushing to come.
The four-way ban was lifted, Ye Fan was overjoyed and could finally leave.
At this moment, his golden sea of bitterness contained green copper, which was both a great blessing and endless disaster. If someone were to discover it, he would instantly fall from heaven to hell. He decided to leave the ruins immediately.
"Fight on, even if it's a earth-shattering and heaven-collapsing chaos, with ghosts wailing and gods howling, it's none of my business anymore."
Ye Fan quickly walked away, and just as he was about to leave the ruins, he turned his head back and said: "Walk your own path, let others find their own treasure."
If a virtuous Daoist knew the truth and heard his words at this moment, he would surely vomit blood in anger and skin him alive.
Of course, if other monks knew about it, it would be even more severe.
