Chapter 240 She wouldn’t know anything!

As soon as they stepped out of the ancient starry sky road, the aura of “wildness” came over them, several times stronger than when Ye Fan and Zixia were healing last time. This aura was invisible but deadly, as if it could erode all life.

Except for Zixia, everyone else’s body began to show abnormalities instantly. Even the old man demon Dongfang Taiyi was not spared. His originally tough body actually showed a trace of decay, and the surface of his skin was faintly gray. “This is really a demonic land!” His voice was low, with rare shock and solemnity.

The situation of Longma, Ji Ziyue and Lan Tuobai was even more serious. In just a few breaths, their faces aged rapidly, their black hair turned snow-white, and their skin became loose and wrinkled, as if they had been ravaged by wind and frost for a hundred years. The magnificent magic power and Taoism in their bodies were completely stripped away, and they could not even fly, falling directly from mid-air into the abyss.

The abyss was dark and bottomless, and seemed to lead to the underworld, swallowing up all the lives that came close. At this critical moment, only Zixia was protected by the bronze ring on her hand. Although she could not fly, her divine power was still there. She flashed and steadily caught Ji Ziyue who was about to fall, and gently placed her on the ground.

At the same time, although Ye Fan had also lost all his divine power, his abnormal body was still ridiculously strong. With pure physical strength, he caught Lan Tuobai who was falling rapidly at the critical moment, and abruptly resolved his inevitable death. The two fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, but they finally saved their lives.

Longma was not so lucky. It screamed for help and struggled frantically. Just when it was about to hit the bottom of the abyss, the old man suddenly attacked and sent out a divine power to hold it back. Longma finally saved his life and collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, gasping for breath.

“If you’re not dead, shut up! Don’t bring out the slaves of the wilderness!” Ye Fan clamped Long Ma’s mouth with his hands to stop him from cursing. His eyes were sharp and alert, scanning the endless dark abyss around him. There was an invisible sense of oppression in the air, and the breath of “wild” surged like a tide, making people shudder.

The dragon horse shuddered and immediately came to its senses. The word “wild slave” sounded creepy, and it nodded to indicate that it understood. After Ye Fan let go of his hand, the dragon horse ran towards the direction of the sacred spring mentioned by Zixia without saying a word, running so fast that it seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of almost falling into a meat pie just now.

Nine sacred mountains stood majestically before everyone. Although they were not towering into the clouds, they exuded an indescribable majesty and heaviness, like giant pillars supporting the nine heavens and ten earths. On each mountain, ancient trees towered to the sky, with faint light shining through the intertwined branches and leaves; the rocks were rugged and strange in shape, as if they contained some kind of ancient power. These scenes were magnificent, but also carried a strong sense of solemnity, making people feel breathless.

When everyone finally reached the spring on the top of the mountain, Lan Tuobai’s condition was already extremely bad. His body was dry, his skin was wrinkled like dried bark, and he looked extremely old. Even with the precious medicine provided by Zixia, he was still staggering and could hardly stand. The power of erosion by time was too overbearing. If he had not practiced deeply, he would have turned into a pile of rotten bones long ago.

“The Eternal Star Region only cultivates the law but not the body. It is indeed a little bit lacking.” Lan Tuobai smiled bitterly and shook his head, his tone full of emotion. He was not the one with the lowest cultivation in the team. On the contrary, except for the old man Dongfang Taiyi, he was the highest among all the people. However, at this moment, his condition was the worst – even worse than Ji Ziyue.

The water of the Shenquan Pond is crystal clear, with a faint fluorescence, like a pearl inlaid on the top of a mountain. In this dead and ancient forbidden land, it looks particularly abrupt and mysterious. The surrounding spiritual energy is dense, like a mist, adding a bit of dreaminess to this life spring. In a mysterious way, this place seems to be in line with the will of heaven – the ultimate death contains a ray of vitality, giving people a faint but real hope.

Thirteen small trees grow around the spring pool, verdant and radiating a soft green light, as if they were carved from the purest jade. These small trees are no more than half a meter tall, and the shape of their leaves is similar to that of a human palm. Each leaf is like a multi-armed little man waving his arms, full of spirituality and strange beauty. However, there are no fruits on these trees, as they were picked by Ye Fan and Zixia several years ago, and have not yet bloomed and borne fruit again. Ye Fan deliberately led everyone around another spring, where he and Zixia had “fought” before, and where their unique memories were. He did not want outsiders to break into their past, so he chose to lead everyone to this relatively safe spring of life.

When everyone stepped into the holy spring, they immediately felt a warm power enveloping their whole bodies. The suffocating “wild” atmosphere was finally isolated, replaced by an incomparable feeling of comfort. A faint fragrance lingered around the body, and the spring water was crystal clear, as if it could wash away all fatigue and scars. Lan Tuobai couldn’t wait to drink the holy spring in big gulps. The sweet liquid slid down his throat, nourishing his almost dried-up life. His skin gradually regained its elasticity, and his originally old face regained a healthy luster.

“What kind of divine spring is this!” Lan Tuobai couldn’t help but exclaimed, “This quality of spring water can be used as the main ingredient of Saint-level Evolution Fluid!” His tone was filled with shock and ecstasy that could not be concealed. As a strong man in the Eternal Star Domain, he naturally had a deep understanding of the value of resources. This divine spring can not only quickly repair the damaged body, but also stimulate potential, delay aging, and even greatly help to break through to a higher level.

Just as everyone was lying in the life spring pool, their dried-up lifespans were gradually restored, Zixia quietly leaned close to Ye Fan’s ear and whispered a few words. Ye Fan’s face instantly became pleasantly surprised, but soon a trace of loss emerged, and he looked into the distance with complicated eyes.

Zixia patted his shoulder gently, then signaled to the others, “Wait for us here for a while.” Her words were soft, but they were firm and unquestionable. Ji Ziyue and Lan Tuobai nodded, while Longma lazily turned over, obviously not fully recovered from his weakness just now. The old demon Dongfang Taiyi closed his eyes to rest, and didn’t seem to care about the two people’s departure.

Zixia led Ye Fan straight to another spring, where they had fought a great battle before – a secret place full of memories. Along the way, the air was still filled with the decayed smell of “wilderness”, but unlike the life spring, the atmosphere here was more solemn and lonely. It was quiet and silent all around, with only the occasional rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, as if telling of the ruthlessness of time.

When the two came to the familiar place, Ye Fan’s eyes fell on the central pool at the first time, and then looked at the humanoid immortal medicine roots on the side. Although it still stubbornly absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon to maintain its vitality, its condition was worse than before. Although the originally broken roots had grown a little, they still looked fragile as a whole, and some of them had even withered and shriveled. Even so, this ancient divine medicine still exuded a unique vitality that was awe-inspiring.

“It’s transforming!” Zixia said softly, “But fortunately, it’s still trying to survive. Let’s go!”

After a short rest, Zixia stood up and pointed to a sign not far away. “Let’s go and take a look at the sign left by Ye Zi first.”

“My daughter must know something! Why did she put the sign here?” Ye Fan looked at the arrow thoughtfully.
