Chapter 223 Immortal
Deep in the Kunlun Mountains, a blood-red giant beast suddenly jumped out from the top of the mountain. It looked like a giant ape, but it had a long spiral horn between its eyebrows, and its eyes glowed like torches. With a roar, blue lightning burst out from the tip of its horn, directly cutting off a piece of the mountain top!
Ye Fan was bathed in golden light, hanging in the air motionless, defusing the beast's attack. Although he was surprised by the beast's power, he didn't take it seriously - in this Dharma Ending Age, there were only a handful of beings that could hurt them.
"It's worthy of being the Kunlun Fairyland. These beasts are stronger than the masters on Earth!" Ji Ziyue has been conquering the world on Earth in the past few days and has already made a great name for himself.
Zixia did not say much, but just lightly pressed the void. In an instant, the breath of heaven was overwhelming, covering the entire mountain area. The beasts trembled immediately, kneeling on the ground, trembling, and never dared to act rashly again, as if they were worshiping a real god.
The three searched out some scattered memories from the beast's sea of consciousness. There were many powerful creatures lurking in this ancient Kunlun vein, all of which were listed as taboos, and ordinary cultivators did not dare to set foot there. At the same time, this was also a secret land that could breed unpredictable divine creatures.
"The vegetation in Kunlun Mountain is rooted in the dragon veins, and the vitality is extremely strong." Zixia said softly, her fingertips brushing against a thousand-year-old ancient medicine, "Good fortune and disaster are interdependent. Although the ancient medicine is full of spiritual energy, few of them have spiritual wisdom."
Ye Fan's eyes were deep: "Because the energy of the dragon veins has been sucked away by the central forbidden area."
The three continued to move forward, referring to the topographic map in their hands, and carefully avoided dangerous areas. The terrain of Kunlun Mountain is extremely complex, and one can fall into a desperate situation if one is not careful.
Suddenly, Ji Ziyue stopped and said, "Wait! There's something strange ahead."
She sensed a natural dragon cave with green peaks and mountains piled up like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling. In the middle was a deep valley with rosy clouds and auspicious colors. It was obviously a rare treasure land nurtured by heaven and earth.
The three men went deeper but did not find the divine fetus. They only dug out a dead stone man, which was killed by the mountain before it could transform into a real human form.
"This kind of terrain should have given birth to immortals, what a pity!" Ye Fan frowned.
“The Holy Spirit can seize the essence of heaven and earth, and the divinity of the earth should all be taken away by it, but now it is the other way around, and it is defeated and killed by it.” Ji Ziyue has also gone a long way in the art of origin, and he vaguely sensed something.
The terrain of Kunlun was created for the birth of immortals. The essences of the eight directions and the divine flowers of the ten directions converged to the central forbidden area through the dragon veins, and the fetuses of the Holy Spirit could not compete with them.
The three of them went deeper into the Kunlun Mountains, and the surrounding mountains became increasingly steep. Suddenly, a sharp whistle broke the silence, and a thousand miles of barren land and surging heat waves formed a strange contrast with the surrounding beautiful mountains.
"Hanba!" Ye Fan's pupils suddenly shrank. The two-foot-tall blood-colored monster walked on fire, melting rocks and turning grass and trees into ashes wherever it passed. A golden seal rune was faintly visible between its eyebrows.
Ji Ziyue took out the beast-body and human-faced lamp without saying a word. The lamp body was emitting Buddhist incense, and the green light enveloped the top of the mountain. The drought demon was actually frozen in mid-air, and then it let out an unwilling roar, turned into flames and escaped into the ground.
"There really is such a thing. Legend has it that it is a corpse transformed. Could there be anyone who dares to bury the body in Kunlun?" Ye Fan was surprised and then looked at the strange lamp in Ji Ziyue's hand and said, "What kind of treasure is this!"
"This is a good thing that Sister Zixia and I got from an old monk in Ziwei Star. It is a holy weapon to suppress evil spirits!"
Ye Fan looked into the distance and took in the surrounding scenery. Kunlun was the location of the main dragon vein, which gave birth to the hope of becoming an immortal. Who would dare to bury a coffin in this place?
Following the map, the three of them suddenly felt a chilling aura. Ji Ziyue raised the animal-shaped human-faced lamp, and the dim light penetrated the surface, illuminating a cave buried deep underground. The scene in front of them was shocking—groups of stone coffins were neatly arranged, most of them were well preserved, and obviously very old.
"Damn Duan De is here"
Before he finished speaking, the largest sarcophagus suddenly shook. The lid of the coffin slowly opened, and a monster covered in flaming red hair sat up, with a fierce look in its eyes. However, when it saw the lantern in Ji Ziyue's hand, it lay down immediately and closed the coffin as if it had seen a ghost.
"So amazing!" Ye Fan was stunned. It was the first time he saw a zombie look so fearful.
The other sarcophagi also made noises one after another, and several corpses crawled out, but when they saw the three people, they fled back into their coffins as if they had seen a ghost.
"There are words on the coffin! And they are the words of Beidou!" Ye Fan stared at the largest coffin and said. "Damn it! It's the Yuhua Dynasty again!" Ji Ziyue cursed angrily. If it weren't for the Yuhua Dynasty, she wouldn't have ended up in a foreign land.
After reading these words, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue finally understood the whole story.
Back then, a group of people escorted the "hope" of becoming immortal to the Kunlun Immortal Vein for repair. When they were leaving, they encountered a powerful man, and the terrain map in their hands was lost. Some people were trapped here.
"These are their descendants. Their bloodline continued for a long time, but they all died here in the end, unable to escape."
Kunlun is the Immortal Vein, and there is dragon energy in the underground, which nourishes these corpses. Some of them have not rotted much until now, and turned into demons such as Hanba.
The three of them set sail again and moved forward according to the terrain map in their hands. They did not encounter any danger. This was a winding ancient road. Apart from this, there were ancient divine formations in other places. If they went deep into them, they would be destroyed both physically and spiritually.
Two days later, a wisp of immortal air suddenly came from the front, lingering like morning mist. The three looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes - the place of immortality was just around the corner!
"Whoosh——"
A flash of blue light passed by, and waves of refreshing fragrance drifted away. Ji Ziyue sniffed it, and surprise flashed in her eyes: "Am I seeing right! An ancient medicine that can move with the help of the earth veins!"
Ye Fan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be the immortality elixir? After all, this is the place where immortals are born!"
In the flickering blue clouds, the ancient medicine plant appeared. Its roots were twisted like an old man, its vines were green and lush, and its face was wrinkled with old age. At this moment, it was running in the earth veins in panic.
"It's Polygonum multiflorum!" Zixia tapped the air with her fingertips, and the source of energy instantly changed the direction of the earth veins. The old herb was forced out of the ground with a bang, kneeling in front of the three people, trembling.
"Legend has it that if you eat Polygonum multiflorum that has turned into a human form, you will be immortal. However, human-shaped rhizomes have never been seen in the world. Most of the roots of Polygonum multiflorum are in tubers! This is a blessing from heaven!" Ye Fan threatened old Polygonum multiflorum.
The old Shouwu was more than half a meter tall, golden in color, fragrant, and knelt there, trembling. He repeatedly bowed his hands and begged the three men to spare his life.
It cannot leap across the sky like the elixir of immortality, but it can travel through the earth veins. Only the Yuan Tianshi lineage can catch it. The Yuan Tianshi lineage is rare and can be said to be extremely safe. But unfortunately, there are three Yuanshu masters in front of it today.
This kind of sacred grass is like an elixir. It is difficult to give birth to a powerful spiritual consciousness. The body of the medicine can live forever, but it does not have the Taoism to reach heaven and cannot protect itself.
Zixia nodded. She didn't want to hurt Tianhe. After all, Polygonum multiflorum was a lethal drug. It would dry up and die in a short time after leaving the Pure Land. Unless she took it immediately, her essence would slowly dissipate.
Now, the three of them do not need to take the elixir of immortality, so doing so would be a waste.
Old Shouwu thanked him profusely, and suddenly sent out a vague consciousness: "If the three immortals encounter the exhaustion of life, you can come here to find me. As long as I call you, I will definitely offer my blood and essence to help you!"
Ji Ziyue's eyes lit up, and she took the opportunity to ask, "You have been here for so long, have you ever seen any special beings, or immortals?"
Old Shouwu's consciousness suddenly became confused: "Fairy! A fairy has been here!" It looked terrified, but could not describe the fairy's true appearance. "I saw it with my own eyes. A fairy came here. His magical powers were unparalleled in ancient and modern times. No one who came here could defeat him."
Ye Fan, Zixia and Ji Ziyue looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. There was actually an "immortal".
"Take us there." Ji Ziyue urged Lao Yao, "If there really is a miracle, you will not be treated unfairly."
