Chapter 198 The Golden Age of Revival!
Earlier, when various forces attacked Zishan, they saw Duan De and the old blind man being surrounded by ancient creatures, and they were able to survive only because they were sheltered by the Devouring Demon Jar lid.

That was the only message Duan De left in the Eastern Wilderness, which made Qi Zhe hesitate about whether to rescue him, but after thinking it over, he could only give up the idea.

But Duan De did not die. After nearly two years, Ye Fan caught his cries for help, which made Ye Fan's face turn strange.

"That fat bastard!" Ye Fan's face was full of strangeness. He would never forget the voice of Duan De who had taken two spirit weapons from him.

This also reminded him of the legends near Zishan Mountain, and he knew that Qi Zhe must have been afraid of the creatures under Zishan Mountain and had never rescued them.

However, Ye Fan was powerless to help. He did want to go deep into Purple Mountain to retrieve the Origin Book, but he also knew how dangerous it was.

"The Origin Book is lost beneath Purple Mountain. I wonder if it can ever reappear," Ye Fan muttered to himself, feeling somewhat tempted. He couldn't help but consider returning to the Central Region to ask Qi Zhe to come out of seclusion.

He thought that Qi Zhe might come after hearing the news that Duan De was alive, and now that Duan De's cultivation was so profound, he might be able to walk out alive.

Once this thought arose, Ye Fan couldn't suppress it and, after pondering it all night, finally set off.

Nowadays, there is constant communication between the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness, and many places have teleportation arrays, making travel quite convenient.

With a heavy heart, Ye Fan returned to the Central Region and spent several days getting back to Tianhuang Ancient City to begin searching for Qi Zhe's whereabouts.

Qi Zhe hadn't gone far; he remained there until Ye Fan reappeared and spotted him.

After nearly three months of reflection, Qi Zhe is showing signs of another breakthrough. It has been more than half a year since he entered Sendai.

After leaving the Southern Region, he climbed the ladder step by step, and it's not surprising that he achieved whatever he wanted, given how much he had experienced.

Ye Fan's arrival surprised him, and he knew that Ye Fan had definitely come to see him and that he could meet him.

Guided by Shouxin, Ye Fan finally met Qi Zhe in the courtyard. Upon meeting, he greeted him warmly, "Brother Qi, how have you been?"

His enthusiasm surprised Qi Zhe, who could only nod and say, "It's been several months since we last met. Is there something you need to see me about after returning to the Central Region?"

Qi Zhe felt that Ye Fan definitely had something to do, after all, crossing half of the Eastern Wilderness couldn't possibly be just to catch up with him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression turned serious. He walked up to Qi Zhe and whispered, "It is indeed important, concerning Daoist Duan."

Ye Fan had heard in the Northern Region that Qi Zhe had traveled with Duan De, and that they would not have parted ways if Duan De had not ventured deep into Zishan. Now that he had mentioned it, he was quite looking forward to Qi Zhe's reaction.

But Qi Zhe immediately rolled his eyes upon hearing this and couldn't help but complain, "That scoundrel fell into Purple Mountain, and I guess he'll have a hard time getting out!"

Qi Zhe was well aware that the interior of Zishan was now very dangerous, completely different from the original timeline. If it weren't for the suppression by the Wushi Bell, there would definitely be chaos.

The ancient creatures within have definitely awakened; it's just that the Heavenly Emperor's son hasn't been born yet, otherwise they would have come out as well.

This is also why Qi Zhe did not go to rescue Duan De; he did not want to confront the Eight Legions too early, and he was powerless to save him back then.

Ye Fan's lips twitched upon hearing this. He could tell that Qi Zhe knew Duan De was not dead, but had always been wary of the creatures in Purple Mountain.

This puzzled Ye Fan, who couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qi, do you know about the dangers beneath Purple Mountain? Even now, you can't rescue Daoist Duan?"

He was somewhat puzzled. If Qi Zhe couldn't get out unscathed, he would definitely be doomed if he went in. He was a little horrified.

Qi Zhe remained silent for a moment. Shou Xin, who was standing to the side, was a little unhappy when she heard this and couldn't help but retort, "Boss is incredibly powerful, he can definitely do it!"

He didn't know the reason, but he firmly believed that there was nothing in the world that could stump Qi Zhe, which surprised Ye Fan, who was standing to the side.

He had noticed Shouxin when he arrived. The child was only six or seven years old, but his cultivation was a little higher than his own.

However, he didn't care, since he was indeed in a bit of a predicament right now, and in terms of cultivation, many cultivators were more than capable of defeating him.

"Well, how should I put it? It is indeed dangerous under Purple Mountain, but if we want to rescue Duan De, it's not without a chance. We can give it a try." Qi Zhe, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. He had known Duan De for a while, and he couldn't keep delaying the rescue. Now was not without a chance to make a move.

After finishing his sentence, Qi Zhe inquired about the current situation near Zishan. He heard that only some rogue cultivators were wandering around there, and many people had gone missing.

Furthermore, Ye Fan's hearing of Duan De's cry for help surprised Qi Zhe. Given that Zishan was extremely sealed off, it was no easy feat for a sound to travel out, indicating that Duan De's cultivation had definitely improved significantly.

However, he wasn't surprised, since he had made progress, and surely others hadn't made any progress at all.

After understanding everything, Qi Zhe said to Ye Fan, "In that case, I will go to the Northern Region tomorrow to rescue Duan De. Fortunately, I have a backup plan this time!"

This time, Qi Zhe was about to undergo a tribulation and break through, and with a divine weapon by his side and a heavenly tribulation to face, he really didn't believe he couldn't save Duan De.

"Hehe, Duan De will have to bleed a lot this time!" Qi Zhe couldn't help but grin crookedly at the thought.

The Central Region is prosperous, while the Northern Region is desolate. Although both are in the Eastern Wilderness, their scenery is quite different and they have nothing in common.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Qi Zhe led Ye Fan to the vicinity of Purple Mountain, while Shou Xin was left in the Central Region to cultivate alone.

Qi Zhe, now revisiting this place, was quite emotional. He had left the Northern Region because of the Myriad Dragon Nest, but now he was no longer afraid.

However, Qi Zhe also discovered that there are signs of ancient creature activity on the northern land, and there is an ancient creature near Zishan.

"The ancient clan has revived!" Qi Zhe exclaimed upon seeing this, and then silently and suddenly made a move to capture the opponent with one hand.

"boom!!!"

Qi Zhe was suspended in mid-air, leaning down and pressing his palm down on the eastern foot of Zishan Mountain, and a bright divine light enveloped the land for thousands of miles.

Ye Fan was also startled by what he saw, not understanding why Qi Zhe suddenly made a move, but a moment later he saw a strange creature appear under Qi Zhe's palm.

"Holy crap, what the hell!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Fan found the other party's appearance terrifying. Although it had a human form, it had six eyes on its head, and its scales made it look more like a demon than a monster.

At this moment, the ancient creature was suppressed by Qi Zhe's palm. It could sense the other party's cultivation level and couldn't help but roar: "Despicable human, you ambushed us!"

All the ancient beings that have been sealed away to this day have at least a Sendai cultivation level, and this ancient being of unknown race is no exception, being at the same level as Qi Zhe.

But when facing Qi Zhe, he was somewhat outmatched. Qi Zhe easily pinned him down with a flick of his palm, making him unable to move. Qi Zhe was incredibly powerful.

"Ha, hiding in the shadows and spying on me, where is your nobility?"

Qi Zhe chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, then shouted, "I see you have some potential. I'll take pity on you and make you my favorite. Are you willing?"

Qi Zhe thought of how Wang Teng would take ancient creatures as servants, and couldn't help but want to try to imitate him. Even if he failed, it would still be something to talk about.

"Aaaaah! You'll regret this! My clan and Blood Phoenix Mountain are separated only by a narrow strip of water. You're provoking the majesty of the ancient emperor!" the ancient creature roared.

Qi Zhe found this amusing and retorted sarcastically, "So what? You might as well have Blood Phoenix Mountain summon an ancient imperial weapon to save you, otherwise you're doomed today!"

Sigh, it's almost the end of the month.

I originally wanted to write a separate chapter, but I lacked the motivation. I had a lot to say this past month, but after thinking it over, I realized there wasn't much.

To be honest, this month has been incredibly hot, so hot it's making you dizzy.
