The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 136 Heading to the Thirteenth Floor within the Dragon Nest

This divine herb is dazzling, its entire body is golden, and it is surrounded by tens of thousands of small dragons, making it truly spectacular.

It can grow to be over a foot tall and has nine leaves, each of which is like a golden cloud, beautiful and dazzling, and somewhat ethereal.

At the top of the divine herb, a golden dragon-shaped fruit, crystal clear and lifelike, seemed to be alive. In the dragon's mouth, it held a golden bead, shimmering and dazzling.

A fragrant aroma wafted from it, almost making Ye Fan drunk and feel like he was floating on air.

"It really is an immortal herb, just like the immortal phoenix herb, it's truly matured..." Ye Fan's voice trembled.

Duan De, who was inside the Sea of ​​Wheels and contained within the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things, also witnessed this scene and was itching to try it himself.

"A priceless treasure, truly before my eyes!" Duan De's face was flushed with pride.

Ning Qingyi's avatar glanced at the divine medicine before looking at the ancient coffin.

The ancient coffin floated in the pile of divine source energy, and even through the cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things, one could still feel an extremely terrifying pressure!

The vermilion ancient coffin occupies the center of the Dragon Nest, where the dragon energy is strongest. Ten thousand dragons swirl around it, dazzling and brilliant. It is buried by the Divine Source Block, revealing the ultimate mysteries of the changes of heaven and earth!
The ancient coffin of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Ning Qingyi's gaze was deep, and through this ancient coffin, he seemed to see three more ancient coffins hidden deeper in the cave.

"What should we do next?" Ye Fan's voice echoed within the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron.

Ning Qingyi said, "Try to touch the True Dragon Immortality Elixir and force him in."

Ye Fan and Duan De were taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

Next, Ye Fan approached the vermilion ancient coffin step by step, his divine power forming a purple dragon claw, which he then reached out towards it.

He studied the Taihuang Scripture and possessed the secret of the "Fight" character. Through careful study, he almost perfectly imitated the moves of the Wanlongchao clan whose identity he had replaced, making it impossible for outsiders to distinguish them.

Startled, the True Dragon Immortal Elixir shook violently, its golden light flashing. While absorbing the divine power from Ye Fan's dragon claw, it fled. In a flash, it transformed into a golden light and disappeared underground, vanishing completely.

"Qian Tuo, you've failed again."

A voice rang out from the side, making Ye Fan shudder and his hair stand on end. He turned his head, only to see that the person who came was not speaking to him.

Without a doubt, this is a figure of saintly caliber.

He was as majestic as a god, shrouded in a divine halo. His long purple hair covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of sharp purple eyes that were as sharp as knives.

He had no arms, only a pair of golden divine wings, as if cast from divine metal. His lower body was that of a snake, over ten meters long, with shimmering golden scales.

"The True Dragon Immortal Elixir! I once followed my clan's ancestral emperor, yet now I can't even touch it..." One could hear the intense resentment in the words of this ancient clan expert.

He looked at the vermilion coffin, his eyes filled with both anger and fear, for he had personally witnessed many kings in his clan who were as powerful as himself, or even those who had severed their Dao, being wiped out by the residual power of the coffin the moment they stirred it.

After his birth, the Great Sage Qianlun even invited many ancient clan giants, including the Great Sages of various royal ancestors, Hun Tuo, and the already perished Kun Zhou, to come here to discuss and study.

But in the end, no one dared to make a move, not even the imperial soldiers, because they sensed an indomitable killing intent!
These ancient clan leaders strongly suspected that the coffin contained not only the corpse of an ancient emperor, but also an unparalleled killing formation diagram that would sweep away everyone.

Although Ye Fan was nervous, he did not give himself away and said in the ancient language, "I am just trying it out. If the divine medicine is kind, it may be able to awaken the ancient ancestor."

Upon hearing this, the Saint Lord-level descendant of the Myriad Dragon Nest sighed: "If it weren't for that damned human demon, our clan might have had a quasi-Emperor level figure, and Her Highness the Princess's path to enlightenment might have increased by another 20%. How could we let that human Ning Qingyi monopolize the spotlight!"

It is obvious that Ning Qingyi's arrogant behavior on the ancient star of Beidou, relying on his status as a quasi-emperor's successor, not only caused suffering to the human race, but also made the ancient race very dissatisfied.

Having lay dormant for ten thousand years, he originally thought he could sweep across the world and recreate his eternal glory. But now, under the might of the human race, he has become a coiled dragon, which greatly angers him.

Inside the cauldron, Duan De looked at Ning Qingyi, winked at him, and chuckled.

Ning Qingyi didn't take it to heart at all, but instead kept calculating the location of the demon.

"I want to go in again and try the True Dragon Immortality Elixir." After saying that, Ye Fan continued walking towards the ancient cave.

“In that case, I’ll give it a try,” the Wanlong Nest clan member continued.

Ye Fan's heart tightened, but he remained calm. In the memories he had gained, the descendants of the Myriad Dragon Nest often coveted the True Dragon Immortal Elixir. Even if they couldn't obtain the divine fruit, getting a few drops of the divine liquid would be a very good thing.

However, although the True Dragon Immortal Elixir often appeared, it only lingered near the coffin and never crossed the line, so there was no way to obtain it.

He and this member of the Wanlong Nest clan continued for several miles, passing numerous ancient caves and an immense dragon nest. Along the way, they encountered several other members of their clan and greeted them.

Among them was a young boy, appearing to be about eleven or twelve years old, yet already a humanoid creature covered in purple scales. A single purple vertical eye shone brightly from between his brows.

He looked at Ye Fan, somewhat bewildered by the sales figures.

"What's wrong?" his playmate asked.

"It's nothing, my eyes are just a little tired, I almost mistook him for someone else." The boy shook his head. Just now, Qian Tuo in his third eye was radiating a golden dragon aura, completely different from the purple aura of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

After traveling several more miles, Ye Fan finally arrived at the front of an ancient cave, from which terrifying killing intent emanated continuously.

Inside the ancient cave, another enormous coffin lay submerged in the shattered divine source fragments, lying horizontally in the void.

Ye Fan remained silent, while Duan De, hidden inside his cauldron, was also extremely nervous, unconsciously touching the lid of the Devouring Demon Jar in his arms.

Ning Qingyi, however, remained calm, though his eyes grew brighter and brighter, clearly indicating that he felt he was close to finding the answer.

“The elixir of immortality for the true dragon isn’t here… I suspect it might be hiding in the last ancient coffin,” said a descendant of the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest clan.

"Let's go in and take a look further," Ye Fan said.

Soon after, they saw the third ancient coffin, which was very similar to the first two, containing fragments of divine source, but without any divine medicine. Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

Ye Fan finally saw the essence of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

In the distance, there were endless ancient trees, all of which had been dead for countless millennia. Each branch was so thick that dozens of people could not encircle it.

This is dragonwood, which is said to be a divine object used by real dragons to build their nests!
Now piled together, they form a huge nest that looks simple, yet is extremely mysterious.

Incomparably majestic, as tall as a mountain, with tens of thousands of dragon energies like great rivers constantly appearing and disappearing, swirling around the dragon's nest, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled mystery and grandeur.

"There really is a dragon's nest..." Duan De was dumbfounded and somewhat stunned.

Ye Fan was also stunned. Even though it was recorded in the Origin Heaven Book, seeing it in person was still exciting. This was definitely a peerless terrain comparable to Purple Mountain!
"Dragons on par with immortals ever existed?" He asked in a daze, unable to contain himself.

The Wanlong Nest clan member was somewhat surprised and said, "You've forgotten, there are ancient texts in our clan that say there is only one true dragon in the world, and it must be an immortal!"

Ye Fan knew he might have given himself away, so he kept quiet and continued to approach. However, he didn't expect that once he was within three miles, all his divine power would be completely stripped away. Ning Qingyi and Duan De were similarly affected, feeling their divine power completely sealed away, a chilling sensation spreading through them.

"What's wrong with you? Did you forget not to get too close?" The Wanlong Nest clan member watched his actions and felt increasingly strange.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see how strong my divine body is now." Ye Fan said as he retreated, quickly recovering his divine power.

He looked left and right, and finally climbed up a cliff to look out over the interior of the dragon's nest.

Inside the giant nest, endless dragon energy surged. When a gust of wind blew by, tens of thousands of dragon energies revealed a crack, exposing the scene inside, which surprised Ye Fan.

Then, another enormous coffin appeared, bobbing up and down amidst endless chaos, as if the world was being created, shrouded in mystery.

Above the coffin, the True Dragon Immortal Elixir was prominently displayed.

Suddenly, Ye Fan was startled. The Mother Qi of All Things was vibrating, making Duan De wary.

Ning Qingyi directly sensed that there was an aura of destiny lingering around, as if there was an unbreakable connection between the ancient coffin and Ye Fan's cauldron!

"boom!"

The entire ancient nest trembled violently, and the chaotic energy surged, creating a hazy, completely submerged atmosphere!

"Hurry up, it's not the right time yet," Ning Qingyi transmitted her voice.

Ye Fan nodded and naturally stepped back. The Wanlong Nest clan member next to him looked even more solemn and retreated even faster than him.

The Chaos Dragon Nest undergoes strange changes from time to time. If you get too close, you are very likely to be caught in the chaotic energy flow, and even a saint would die if he came.

"It seems I can't try anymore. I'm going back to my cave." Ye Fan sighed.

The Wanlong Nest clansman nodded, watching Ye Fan leave. He unconsciously stared at him for a while longer, not knowing why, but he felt that something was wrong, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

This is precisely the terror of the Lesser Destiny Technique, completely making up for the shortcomings of the Heaven and Earth Changing Technique and completing the replacement of destiny.

Ye Fan stepped into the ancient cave and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the clansman was no longer following. He wiped away non-existent cold sweat.

"How's it going? Have you figured it out yet?" Ye Fan asked anxiously, clearly indicating that being an undercover agent was still a challenge for him.

Ning Qingyi said, "No problem, let's follow this terrain!"

He displayed a celestial map, which contained his deduced topographical map. Duan De glanced at it.

“This is a malevolent place within the Dragon's Nest, perfect for imprisoning someone.” He was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ning Qingyi’s Heavenly Secrets Technique to be so powerful.

Ye Fan memorized the celestial map with his divine sense and then proceeded into the ancient cave according to the instructions. Just as he was about to get close, a voice rang out.

"Stop right there! Qian Tuo, what are you doing here!"

A fully humanoid creature appeared. It was a middle-aged man with a majestic and upright posture and purple hair. He was undoubtedly a Dao-Slaying King!

Ye Fan's heart sank. Sure enough, the place of imprisonment was guarded. Fortunately, it was only a Dao-Slaying King, not an ancient sage, otherwise it would be hard to say whether the plan would succeed.

Fortunately, they had conducted extensive research and made a plan beforehand.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel uneasy for some reason," Ye Fan said. "The Great Sage went to the Feathered Ancestral Temple with Her Highness the Princess. If this ancient demon is revived, I'm worried that there will be bloodshed within the clan."

The middle-aged man looked at Qian Tuo and frowned, saying, "The Great Sage is not here, but our clan still has the Ancestral King, which is enough to delay him for a while. Besides, he has been sealed for so long. Once he breaks free from the Divine Source, his strength will be greatly reduced, which is enough to delay until the Great Sage returns."

Ye Fan nodded and took out a few True Dragon Fruits from his Sea of ​​Wheels.

This fruit, nourished by the dragon vein for a thousand years, is a precious material for dragon-transforming cultivators to break through restrictions, and is also the favorite of the Wanlong Nest clan. In fact, not only the True Dragon Fruit, but any precious material related to dragon energy is highly sought after by them.

"Then I'm relieved. These are a few True Dragon Fruits that I obtained by chance while training outside, so I'm offering them to you, senior," Ye Fan said.

The guard was taken aback, somewhat surprised, but also very pleased, and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

He walked out of the ancient cave, and taking the opportunity, Ye Fan glanced into the cave.

Within the Divine Source Block, there was an old man, emaciated as a rake, sitting cross-legged. He showed no signs of life, yet his presence was extremely unsettling.

He was naked from the waist up, emaciated, with an animal skin wrapped around his lower body. He held a bone club in his hand, and his whole body was bound by crimson iron chains that almost dug into his flesh. He looked very primitive, but it gave people a sense of horror.

Duan De inside the cauldron was extremely excited: "This powerful aura definitely belongs to a person at the Saint level."

Suppressing his joy, Ye Fan asked, "When do we make our move?"

"Not yet. The main body hasn't sent a signal. We have to wait until the matter of the Feathered Ancestral Temple is almost settled before we make a move. You must know that we only have one chance."

"I wonder how things are at the Zhongzhou Temple..." Ye Fan sighed.

……

"boom!"

On the eleventh floor of the Central Plains Ancestral Temple, an earth-shattering battle erupted, with not only strange beasts tearing cultivators apart, but also cultivators engaging in a series of fierce battles.

Ning Qingyi was also ambushed, but he retaliated fiercely. With a single punch, he commanded respect from all directions, instantly killing seven top-tier Saint Lord level figures and chilling everyone to the bone.

"rush!"

The Fighting Prince, Ji Zi, Yan Ruyu, and others also made their move, unleashing various forbidden secret techniques of the Great Emperors, making them almost invincible.

A group of people fought their way from the eleventh floor to the twelfth floor, and then from the twelfth floor to the thirteenth floor, fighting their way through a bloody battle.

Surprisingly, the thirteenth floor was no longer dark; instead, it was filled with light, exuding a sacred and peaceful atmosphere, as if one had entered a world of light.

A colossal stone statue stood tall, hundreds of feet high, radiating a soft light. Dozens of runes were engraved on it, each resonating with the Dao.

Many people have already arrived, and they are all watching and memorizing these ancient symbols.

"The Emperor's Son!" Everyone was shocked as they saw the offspring of this immortal god.

Ning Qing was very surprised when she saw him, because this prince had already broken through to the Sendai realm. This speed was really terrifying, not inferior to her own.

In this life, he may truly become Ye Fan's greatest enemy, allowing the Immortal Emperor's fame to spread far and wide once again!
