Chapter 491 The Holy Body is truly harmful
First, they entered the Bronze Immortal Palace to fight for immortality, then they attacked the Emperor's Tomb in the Myriad Dragon Nest to seize medicine, and now they are eyeing the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land with covetous intent.

If you don't know the protagonist's name and only look at these experiences, it would be reasonable to say that Ye Tiandi was doing these things.

Especially since all three locations are related to the Ruthless Great Emperor, it's truly terrifying to think about.

Nangong, are you a remnant of the Ascension Clan or a hidden inheritor of a ruthless figure?
The former is malicious, wanting to rebuild the glory of immortality; the latter is unwaveringly loyal, avenging the stigma leveled against the ruthless.

Of course, Qin Sheng also knew that Nangong Daxian couldn't possibly have any connection with the ruthless person; he was just a pure addict.

"What exactly happened? Why would they suddenly set their sights on the Forbidden Zone of the Ancient Wilderness?" Qin Sheng was very curious.

“Explain in detail.”

"This story begins with the Holy Lord's Grand Ceremony," Yao Xi recounted the whole affair.

"During the ceremony, the ancient clans such as the Fire Kirin Cave revealed many ancient secrets related to the forbidden zones of life, which attracted a lot of attention after they were spread."

"Not long after, the powerful Nangong went to the Immortal Mausoleum and gazed at the burial ground of immortals from the outside, hoping to obtain the relics of the true immortals and fight for a lifetime of immortality."

Qin Sheng's expression was subtle. The Great Immortal Nangong still loved going to "immortal lands" so much; he truly couldn't be happy without immortals.

"Then how does it relate to the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Wilderness?" Qin Sheng asked, puzzled.

"Wang Yangzhan, the former leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, is nearing the end of his life and will soon pass away," Yao Xi continued.

"He was drawn to Nangong Daneng's plan, and the two talked in secret for a day. In the end, Nangong Daneng changed his mind and decided to attack the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

"...Wang Yangzhan is still alive?"

"It's coming soon."

Qin Sheng remembered that in the original story, the old cult leader should have sacrificed himself to place the Yin-Yang Death Curse on Master Ye before his death, at the cost of falling into the boundless purgatory, in order to wear down Ye Fan.

This naturally failed, and the Yin-Yang Death Curse instead became an aid to Ye Fan, enabling him to break free of his shackles and ascend to the Sendai Secret Realm.

Now... Qin Sheng realized that because of his presence, Ye Fan broke through without encountering this matter.

Wang Yangzhan was thus able to prolong his life for a short time, but not long.

"It's like choosing the path to hell when there's a way to heaven." It's hard to describe Qin Sheng's feelings at this moment.

Old Master, this time you're not looking for your brother, but instead you're looking for your sister, right?

"However, once Wang Yangzhan enters the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the current vice leader of the Yin Yang Sect will finally be able to truly succeed to the throne. Compared to the previous leaders, he is quite lucky," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"Wang Yangzhan, that old tortoise, is too long-lived. He outlived four vice leaders. The Yin-Yang Sect has suffered under his rule for a long time."

Yao Xi's expression was strange. She knew very well how the previous four vice leaders of the Yin Yang Sect died. None of them died naturally; they all died suddenly in the middle of their lives.

Qin Sheng killed three, and Ye Fan killed one.

"After the news spread that the great Nangong wanted to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, it attracted worldwide attention. Some people said that he wanted the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality, while others said that he wanted to emulate the former Tianxuan Holy Land and ascend to immortality in order to seek eternal life."

Yao Xi spoke of these things with great interest.

The desolate forbidden land can indeed grant immortality, but powerful beings are not qualified for it; even guarding the gate for a ruthless person would be considered too weak.

"The second explanation is highly unlikely," Qin Sheng shook his head.

"The Tianxuan Sect was destroyed in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Several years ago, 'Huang' broke the curse of the Holy Body. No matter how irrational Nangong Zheng is, it is impossible for him to break into the Desolate Ancient Abyss."

As for why Huang dares to target the Forbidden Land of Desolation when he has already made a move?
Don't meddle in my affairs.

However, it's not hard to understand why Nangong Daxian changed his target from the Immortal Tomb to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Although the name of the Desolate Forbidden Land doesn't include "immortal," the immortal elixir there is openly displayed, incredibly tempting, as if telling everyone:
Come and pick them!
Does the Immortal Tomb contain an elixir of immortality? No one in the world knows for sure; the benefits that are immediately visible are the only real ones.

"Senior Nangong truly lives up to his reputation as a top expert in the Eastern Wilderness. His prestige is terrifyingly high. After his message was spread, people from all over the country responded to him." Yao Xi said with amazement.

“The living fossil of the Eastern Wilderness, the old emperor of the Central Plains, the previous generation of demon lord of the Southern Ridge, and the old patriarch of the Golden Family of the Northern Plains have all stepped forward.”

“Even the ancient races are interested in this matter, and some ancient creatures are willing to go to the desolate ancient world with Immortal Nangong.”

This left Qin Sheng speechless. Was it another group of elderly people?
Furthermore, the living fossils of Beidou truly don't hold grudges. They completely disregard Nangong Zheng's past glorious achievements and will dare to do it again no matter how many people die.

This is the splendor of BeiDou.

After a moment, Qin Sheng sighed softly and said, "Nangong has made great contributions."

"Why do you say that?" Yao Xi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Think about it, regardless of whether the ancient creatures that have emerged are friendly or not, their existence will crowd out the living space of the Eastern Wilderness Holy Land. The fact that the Great Power Nangong brought the ancient races into the forbidden zone of life has directly relieved a lot of pressure on the various holy lands."

Yao Xi was stunned by what she heard. "It seems that's really the case... But if they successfully obtain the elixir of immortality, the ancient clan will actually benefit greatly."

Qin Sheng smiled without saying a word. Did they have the ability to obtain the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality? They knew it was impossible.

It can only be said that there are not many ruthless treasure lands left for Nangong Zheng. After fighting the Immortal Palace and the Dragon Nest, he now has to fight the Forbidden Land. There really won't be any more places to fight next.

However, Qin Sheng also truly admired Nangong Zheng; he was truly indomitable.

One after another, he led the older generation of cultivators from the Big Dipper to their deaths, and now even the ancient creatures have boarded Nangong Zheng's ship. Ordinary people really don't have such influence.

This has made an indelible contribution to solving the problems of the aging of Beidou cultivators and the crisis of the emergence of ancient races.

“Actually, the reason why so many people responded to the call of Great Power Nangong is also due to Fellow Daoist Ye.” Yao Xi shook her head.

Qin Sheng: "..."

100% participation rate?
"Fellow Daoist Ye has entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land more than once, and escaped successfully after picking divine herbs. Many people feel that the danger of this great forbidden zone may have faded a lot in the dark." On the surface, what Yao Xi said was indeed correct.

What was the Holy Body's cultivation level? What was the strength of those living fossils? He can go, but we can't?
What a joke!
Even if we lack the luck of a Holy Body, it's not like there's no hope at all.

Watch us do it!
"Some have even made bold speculations that since the Forbidden Land did not exist in the Primordial Era and appeared later, it may return to normalcy as time goes by."

"...Truly a brilliant insight." Qin Sheng remained silent.

The people of Zhetian are truly daring and decisive, their thinking as unrestrained as a wild horse.

"By the way, Holy Lord, someone else came to you about this matter." Yao Xi remembered something.

"Trying to recruit me and take me into the Forbidden Wasteland?" Qin Sheng wanted to know who was so wicked.

I'm so young, with a bright future ahead of me, why should I join the senior citizen group?
There's nothing wrong with being a slave, but being the Holy Lord of Yaoguang is also a contribution to Ancestor Nan, so Qin Sheng feels that this position is more needed for him.

"No, in order to successfully harvest the divine medicine, those seniors made various preparations. Some people collected the stone skin of the Stone King in the Northern Holy City, wanting to imitate Master Yuan and create a stone garment to resist the erosion of time," Yao Xi explained.

"They want you, Holy Lord, to use your Source Technique to enhance the Stone Armor, making it even more powerful so they can venture into the Ancient Forbidden Land."

Who in the entire Beidou world doesn't know that Dongxian is the number one person in the field of Origin Techniques?
You can't go wrong with him for something like this.

"I refuse outright, and there's no room for discussion." Qin Sheng waved his hand. The power of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land couldn't be stopped by a single stone armor; anyone who entered would surely die.

If Qin Sheng agrees to help, but Shi Yi has no effect, wouldn't that ruin his own reputation? But can he be blamed for that?
It must be said that those living fossils are really serious. Setting the time for entering the forbidden area on the night of the next full moon is to make full preparations and is determined to achieve something.

Yao Xi said a lot, and Qin Sheng nodded frequently as he listened. If these seniors were attacking the forbidden area of ​​Ziwei, they might actually achieve something great.

"How is Ye Zi? He went to the Ji family to see Xiao Yue Liang. The Ji family should already know his feelings. Have they agreed?" Qin Sheng asked again.

"Fellow Daoist Ye caused a ruckus at the Ji family, severely injuring two geniuses, five elders, and one powerful figure. If it weren't for Miss Ziyue's presence, those individuals would likely have lost their lives." Yao Xi was very impressed.

"Holy Lord, Fellow Daoist Ye is truly unparalleled in his fierceness, fearing neither heaven nor earth."

For an ordinary person to make a move against someone within an ancient aristocratic family is something they wouldn't even dare to think about, let alone do.

Qin Sheng: "..."

Are you saying that Himeko also participated in the persecution of the Holy Communion?

"What exactly happened?"

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems that Fellow Daoist Ye didn't have a conflict with the Ji family as a whole, but only with one branch. After a great battle, he left the Ji family smoothly and wasn't left there." Yao Xi thought for a moment.

"It seems to be from the lineage of the eighth ancestor of the Ji family."

Ji Laoba, it's you again!

Qin Sheng was genuinely curious: now that Ji Zi had been born, what kind of trouble could Ji Lao Ba possibly cause?
In general, the Eastern Wilderness has now become the center of the Big Dipper, with all sorts of big and small events happening constantly.

When the Qishi Mansion opened, all eyes in the five regions of Beidou were on it. Now that the ancient clan has emerged, everyone's attention has naturally shifted back to it.

Even the Qishi Mansion sent its disciples to the Eastern Wilderness for training, to compete with talents from all sides.

The northern plains and southern mountains have always been secondary to the eastern wilderness and the central plains.

After learning about what had happened during this period, Qin Sheng left the Yao Guang Holy Land with Xiao Nannan, Tu Shan Dou Dou, and Jin Shan Shan.

Silver Glitter stayed on as its Yao Guang Gold Medal Instructor. Qin Sheng had no objection to this being able to enhance the Holy Land's strength, so he let it be.

Fortunately, the silvery follower, Shi Zhongyu, could also take its place in driving the carriage.

The State of Jin.

The renowned Fire Domain of the Eastern Wilderness is located here, and Qin Sheng's visit today is a return to familiar ground.

He came looking for Ye Fan. According to Yao Xi's information, someone had seen Ye Fan enter this place not long ago and had not come out since.

Many people even maliciously speculated that the Holy Body might have been burned to death in the fire domain. "It's so hot, there's fire everywhere, it's so scary," the little girl said, shrinking her head.

Grandma Nan was just an ordinary child, so it was normal for her to be afraid of fire. In her mind, if a person went into this place, wouldn't they be burned to ashes?

Water and fire are merciless; children are prohibited from contact with them.

"Big brother, should we go inside?"

"I'll go in alone. You all wait for me outside. Jin Shanshan, take good care of Nannan," Qin Sheng instructed before stepping into the fire domain.

This land is barren and desolate, with countless cracks running through it. Every now and then, flames rise into the sky, burning away the void, creating an unbearable heat.

This is a well-known weapon-refining ground in the Eastern Wilderness, which can bring people great benefits, but it is also a place that can take lives. One thought can lead to heaven, and another to hell.

However, Qin Sheng remained completely calm, strolling leisurely through layers of flames of various colors. These terrifying divine flames did not cause him any harm.

Qin Sheng ignored the first few levels of the fire domain and went all the way to the sixth level.

The place is filled with purple mist, which is actually a strange flame called Purple Mist Coming from the East. Even those at the Immortal First Realm dare not touch it easily and need to make full preparations before daring to venture in.

"I've already refined it; it's no longer of any use to me." Qin Sheng glanced at "Purple Qi Coming from the East" and continued forward.

The seventh layer of the fire domain is filled with multicolored mist. This is the true fire of the five elements. Even the supreme elders of the holy land will die if they touch it, and ordinary powerful beings will turn pale at the sight of it.

Qin Sheng stayed here for half an hour. He found a source of the Five Elements True Fire and planned to refine it with the Devouring Heaven Demon Art when he went into seclusion later to enrich his foundation.

However, for his current level of cultivation, the power of this Five Elements True Fire is only slightly better than nothing.

After finishing this task, Qin Sheng continued to delve deeper.

"A Saint Body at the Immortal Realm has a physical strength that surpasses that of a Great Power. He also possesses the Bodhi Seed, which can ward off all fires. He must be inside even further."

The eighth level is filled with a seven-colored flame. This is the forbidden zone of the Holy Lord. Almost no one at the second level of the Immortal Realm is qualified to enter. A wisp of seven-colored fire mist is enough to incinerate even the hardest Holy Lord weapon, the Demon Lord's Treasure Body.

"It has reached the realm of the King, but a normal King can withstand it if fully prepared." Qin Sheng carefully comprehended and gained an understanding of the level of this divine fire.

The gap between a powerful being and someone who has severed the Dao is enormous, so it's normal that they can't withstand the power of a king.

However, there is one exception in this world, namely the Crow Taoist of the demon race. He is a fire crow born from divine fire and has become a demon. His innate fire body is beyond description. This kind of creature can be said to be the flame itself, which can reduce the damage caused by the divine fire of heaven and earth to the greatest extent.

Crow Daoist is also the only master who, after Jiang Taixu and before Qin Sheng and Ye Fan, had the ability to penetrate deep into the eighth level of the Fire Domain while still at the second level of immortality.

After collecting one of the seven-colored divine flames as usual, Qin Sheng arrived at the end of the eighth level. He did not use any protective treasures, but relied on his own strength to withstand the burning of this level of flames.

Finally, the ninth level of the Fire Domain appeared before him, where nine-colored threads flowed, dreamlike and magnificent, unlike flames, but like a wonder of the celestial realm.

Looking at the ninth level of the Fire Domain, Qin Sheng's expression also became solemn.

This level is extremely dangerous; no one has entered it for thousands of years. Even Jiang Taixu, who was once the Great King, was unable to set foot on it.

He couldn't possibly have brought the Hengyu Furnace to the Fire Domain.

Looking into the distance, Qin Sheng could see a hazy figure deep within the ninth floor, with its back to him.

Additionally, at the boundary between the eighth and ninth floors, several human-shaped ash piles can be seen, all of whom were people who tried to break into the ninth floor but were burned to death.

It should be noted that, aside from special cases like the Crow Taoist, most people who can reach this position are likely to be kings, yet they still end up like this.

This shows just how terrifying the nine-colored flames are.

"It must have already entered the realm of the Holy Path. The constant burning would be difficult for even a king wielding a holy weapon to withstand. No wonder it is considered a taboo."

Activating a sacred weapon consumes energy, but the Nine-Colored Divine Flame is inexhaustible.

Qin Sheng looked at the nine-layered fire domain and shook his head. "However, this terror is only relative to the cultivation world of the Daojian era."

When the great era arrives and sages emerge in abundance, many crises that seemed insurmountable and perilous places that were certain death in the past will become "nothing special."

The Fire Domain is very powerful, but the fact that its outer nine layers can involve Saints is already remarkable. It's impossible that it's also related to the Supreme level, since this isn't a forbidden zone for life.

These nine outer layers are ultimately just derivatives of that "immortal fire".

Qin Sheng summoned the purple gourd and used it to absorb the nine-colored mist threads. Under the tempering of this divine fire, the purple gourd glowed faintly.

This is the "artifact pill" refined by Lao Tzu. Once it is successfully "forged", it will become a quasi-emperor artifact. The flames it is currently using are of great help in its refinement and also provide shelter for Qin Sheng to move freely inside.

Upon entering the ninth floor, Qin Sheng quickly found Ye Fan; the place was indeed quite small.

Ye Fan was seen absorbing the nine-colored flames with a black gourd, as if he were swallowing a whale's blood. The two were doing very similar things.

"Who are you trying to use this against?"

Ye Fan was startled when he heard the words that suddenly came from behind him.

"Who?!"

He was completely unaware that someone had sneaked up behind him. If the person had wanted to kill him, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

After turning around, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. "Immortal Qin, it's you."

Fortunately, the person standing behind me was a good brother, not an enemy.

"After I came out of seclusion, I heard that you had entered the Fire Domain, so I came here specifically to find you," Qin Sheng said, looking at the black gourd in Ye Fan's hand.

"What are you trying to do? You're not planning to burn the Ji family's house down, are you? Ye Zi, it seems Ji Laoba has really offended you."

In the original timeline, Ye Fan brought a gourd of nine-colored flames to the Ji family and burned Wang Teng alive.

The mighty Northern Emperor, a supreme Saint Lord level figure, died at the hands of a Saint Body at the Immortal First Realm before he could even unleash much of his full power, a fact that has been talked about for a lifetime.

In reality, if it came down to a direct confrontation based on their own strength, Ye Fan would never be a match for Wang Teng.

"How could that be? I couldn't possibly treat the Ji family like that, even for Xiaoyue's sake. At most, I'd just suppress that Ji Laoba into a cesspool for five hundred years." Ye Fan shook his head.

Qin Sheng was speechless, feeling that it would have been better to kill him. Ye, you're really ruthless.

"I just feel that the world is too dangerous these days, with all sorts of experts running rampant. Without Saint Lord-level combat power, it's not safe," Ye Fan sighed.

"My cultivation level cannot advance rapidly in a short period of time, and I have offended too many people, making it difficult to resist many dangers. That's why I came to the Fire Domain to collect some super flames as trump cards."

"You've thought this through quite thoroughly," Qin Sheng praised. A person should have self-awareness, and Ye Fan was well aware of his situation.

The divine fire of the ninth level of the Fire Domain can easily kill living fossils, but the key is to seize the right opportunity, since they won't just stand still and take your flames.

Only Ye Fan could do something like this; the Bodhi Seed and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd are impossible for any other Immortal-level cultivator to replicate.

Ye Fan glanced at the purple gourd on Qin Sheng's head and was somewhat surprised. "Your gourd is amazing. It looks much better than the black gourd. No wonder it's made by me."

"That's right, fellow villagers would never cheat each other." Qin Sheng then asked:

"What exactly happened after you entered the Ji family? I heard you got into a fight?"

"The eighth ancestor of the Ji family intends to accept marriage proposals from other holy lands and arrange a suitable marriage for Little Moon," Ye Fan explained.

"However, it seems that a big shot in the Ji family has spoken, and no one dares to force Little Moon. Even the Eighth Ancestor can only offer advice from the sidelines."

"After I arrived at the Ji family, the descendants of Ji Laoba were receiving an ancient royal family member and several holy sons and daughters. I got into a conflict with them and then a fight broke out."

Qin Sheng understood; he could already guess what had happened.

There will certainly be plenty of comments like "a toad trying to eat swan meat," "a mere human holy body is nothing in the ancient times, and its name has never even been heard of," and "you surnamed Ye, our Ji family is not someone you can aspire to."

As long as Master Ye is not truly invincible on a certain map, someone will definitely start mocking him as soon as they meet him. Qin Sheng is already used to this.

You're saying Dongxian is a friend of the Holy Body? Why don't the others give him any face?
Let alone friends, even if Qin Sheng were Ye Fan's father, it wouldn't matter. In the struggle for the Emperor's Road, the younger generation would still fight when they were together.

In the original timeline, Jiang Taixu tried his best to protect Ye Fan, but some people still challenged Master Ye in front of the God King, and some experts even made a move to kill him.

This is the true value of the Eucharist.

Even Ji Zi wouldn't allow the Ji family to avoid Ye Fan in the future, and he wouldn't care about every word his clansmen said.

As for Ji Laoba's lineage's interactions with the ancient royal family, as long as they don't betray the interests of the Ji family and the human race, or do anything wrong, that's their freedom, and Ji Zi won't interfere.

Times have changed, and contact with ancient life forms is now inevitable; no one can avoid it.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. After investigating the matter, the Ji family didn't make things difficult for me," Ye Fan smiled.

"Looking back now, it seems that there are still reasonable people among these ancient families. I misunderstood them before."

Qin Sheng felt a little relieved. He had thought that Ye Fan's temperament was so strong that he could even draw Ji Zi's hatred.

"Ye Zi, why doesn't anyone point fingers at me?" Qin Sheng said regretfully.

"I really want to live the life you live."

"If you really want to, you can use Source Technique to impersonate me." Ye Fan's face darkened. What could I do? I was desperate too.

"Then forget it." Qin Sheng shook his head.

He was just saying it.

(P.S.: No more today, I'll continue to rest for another day.)
