Chapter 239 Ye Zi: I marked a location
Wandering in the starry sky, time seemed to have lost its meaning. Although the speed of the spacecraft was fast, it was much slower than the feat of the nine dragons pulling the coffin across the galaxy. The starry road of billions of miles led to the unknown shore. Even the huge spacecraft seemed as small as dust in the vast universe.
On this long star road, the passage of time becomes chaotic and unpredictable. Sometimes, it is so long that it drives people crazy, as if the entire universe has come to a standstill; and sometimes, it flows so fast that people suddenly feel that thousands of years have passed. If it weren’t for the constant communication between people, this would be an extremely silent journey – no sound, no movement, only the occasional streak of light that shines briefly like fireworks, and then disappears into the endless darkness.
Chit-chatting became the best way to kill time. The old demon Dongfang Taiyi enthusiastically told stories from the ancient times, and even offered to join the Yin-Yang Dao founded by Zixia, and naturally became a “Grand Elder”. His purpose was simple: he wanted to witness with his own eyes how Zixia continued to explore the path of Yin-Yang creation and chaos, and draw inspiration from it to enlighten himself. “This path may not be suitable for me,” he said with a smile, “but it is always beneficial to see how others go.”
This is a journey that cannot be peaceful. Even Longma, who is at the level of Zhandao, can hardly suppress his inner fluctuations. This is the first time that he has set foot in the starry sky and is heading for the cruelest and most mysterious “copy” in the world of Zhantian. Along the way, he learned a lot of secrets through chatting with everyone, and his heart was full of curiosity and awe. “Senior, what does the Big Dipper Star Region look like? Why did the road to becoming an immortal choose to start there? Why did the ancient emperors all gather on an ancient star? What will we encounter when we go there?” Longma couldn’t help asking.
Dongfang Taiyi heard this, smiled slightly, and glanced at Longma: “I want to know too!”
“Tsk! Old Deng!” Longma retorted without any hesitation. After spending some time together, he and the old man had become more familiar with each other, and his words became less reserved and more casual.
Time passed in the starry sky in an unordered and long manner. After an unknown amount of time, everyone suddenly felt an unusual aura coming from afar. It was an indescribable pressure, as if the rules of heaven and earth had become stagnant at this moment. They all looked outside the spaceship and saw seven bright stars hanging in the void. Each of them emitted a dazzling brilliance, like a lighthouse guiding the way forward, or like seven cold eyes staring at the intruder.
“We’re almost there! Old man!” Zixia said softly
“Yeah.” Dongfang Tai nodded.
Then, Zixia, Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue, Longma, the old man and Lan Tuobai walked out of the spaceship. Dongfang Taiyi raised his hand and used his magical power to put the huge spaceship into the sea of suffering. His movements were smooth and there was no sense of dragging.
“The ancient forbidden land is extremely dangerous. It’s still time to go back to the spaceship.” Zixia looked at Lan Tuobai and Longma with a serious tone.
“Tsk! Who are you looking down on? Ye Fan, who hasn’t even achieved the Dao of Severing, can go, so why can’t I go!” The dragon horse raised its nose to the sky, swung its tail in disdain, and glanced at Ye Fan out of the corner of his eye.
Ye Fan was suddenly furious and shook his head helplessly: “Wild donkey! It’s easy to suppress you!” Although his cultivation was the lowest, he was full of confidence. After all, the life and death crises he had experienced were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Lan Tuobai said respectfully to Zixia: “Master, I want to experience it myself.” His voice was firm, and it was obvious that he was ready to face any challenge.
Zixia didn’t persuade him any further, but just nodded. ·········
An ancient forbidden land, a world of deathly silence.
In the tranquil sky, a huge Bagua formation slowly emerged, and the Yin-Yang fish kept spinning, eventually turning into a portal to an unknown world – the Starry Sky Gate opened. If Zixia had not completed the altar of the ancient forbidden land, the ancient starry sky road starting from Mount Tai would not have been able to reach here. However, this road is definitely a dead end for others. Who would have thought that as soon as they stepped out of the teleportation point, they would be greeted by such a magical land that deprived them of their vitality all the time?
The nine mountains were connected to each other, forming an extremely huge valley. According to common sense, such a valley should be open and bright, and you can see the bottom at a glance, because the nine mountains were not towering into the clouds, and even seemed to be low and flat.
However, when everyone really looked down, they found that the abyss was completely dark, without a single ray of light, as if the abyss had no end at all. It was like a huge well that led directly to the underworld, so deep that it was creepy, and even when the spiritual consciousness probed into it, it felt like it was about to be swallowed by the endless darkness.
A five-colored altar floated above the abyss, motionless and lifeless. Although the altar still emitted a faint five-colored glow, it seemed particularly abrupt and lonely compared to the surrounding environment. The air was filled with a smell of decay and decay, and every breath was like inhaling poisonous fog, making people feel uncomfortable.
What was even more bizarre was that this world seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world. No sound of wind, birdsong, or swaying grass existed. The only thing that could be heard was the occasional faint sobbing coming from the bottom of the abyss. The sound was like the weeping of a dead soul, or the whisper of an ancient being, which made one feel cold.
Ye Fan pointed at the scene on a holy mountain with sharp eyes: “Do you see that? The immortal treasure tree half a person’s height, a holy spring, and a small mound of earth.” His voice was a little complicated, “I wonder what the root of the human-shaped immortal medicine is like now. Run over there as soon as possible!”
“Fuck, the immortality elixir!” Long Ma’s eyes widened, his face full of shock. For a practitioner, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity, enough to make anyone excited.
However, Zixia immediately warned in a cold voice: “Don’t have any bad thoughts! If you dare to touch a leaf of that tree, I guarantee that you will not see the sun the next moment.” Her tone left no room for negotiation, and her eyes swept across Longma like a knife, causing it to shrink its neck involuntarily.
Dongfang Taiyi spoke thoughtfully: “Is this the ancient forbidden land…” He paused, and said slowly, “In my time, this place was not a forbidden area. But according to the records of our ancestors, our clan first came to Beidou from this place.” When these words came out, everyone was shocked – it turned out that the creatures on Beidou were not indigenous, but migrated here!
Ye Fan looked solemn, looked around at everyone, and solemnly reminded: “Listen! This is a devil’s land. Whoever approaches will face life and death. Especially below the abyss, there is the existence of ‘Huang’, which is an unknown and terrible force that can deprive life and years.” His eyes finally fell on Longma, and he deliberately emphasized his tone, “This is not the periphery of the ancient forbidden land, but right above the abyss. The breath of ‘Huang’ is the strongest!”
Ji Ziyue nodded slightly, understanding the danger. As for Zixia, Ye Fan was not worried, because she was carrying a secret treasure that could temporarily resist the erosion of “Huang”.
The moment she stepped out of the ancient starry sky road, Zixia’s brows moved slightly, and a familiar breath quietly came over her. She followed the feeling and looked, and her mood was rarely moved. At the edge of the desolate and silent abyss, a shabby road sign stood abruptly, with a crooked big arrow painted on the top.
