Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 242 Siege of the Ancient Forbidden Land?

Lightning bolts shattered the meteorite, each bolt comparable to a mountain range, yet Qi Zhe roamed freely within them, like a true dragon soaring through the heavens.

This minor tribulation couldn't harm him. Although powerful, it was not as great as the Great Heavenly Tribulation. For Qi Zhe, it could only be considered a body tempering exercise, and it could also refine his weapon.

Earlier, Qi Zhe's stone gate was shattered by the minor calamity of the Dharma, undergoing a rare tempering process, and its interior was already filled with various principles and doctrines.

Even so, it is not a kingly divine weapon. Although the Dao patterns on its back are strong, it can never reach a higher level because Qi Zhe cannot cut through the Dao.

However, Qi Zhe was not in a hurry. Everything would be fine if things came to fruition naturally. The vessel that carries the Dao should be promoted along with its master.

"Rumble"

Amidst the sky filled with lightning, Qi Zhe sat cross-legged, unmoved by the endless thunderbolts crashing down upon him, while a stone door floated before him.

No matter how intense the lightning was, it could hardly harm him. As time passed, the heavenly tribulation gradually dissipated, and it completely vanished in just four days.

But when Qi Zhe returned from the outer space, he heard people in the Qishi Mansion discussing news from the Eastern Wilderness, and many people were gathering there.

"Something big has happened in the Eastern Wilderness these past two days. Ye Fan has clashed with the Myriad Dragon Nest!"

The palace grounds contain a cluster of buildings, including an open-air preaching area where many people discuss important matters.

As Qi Zhe passed by, he overheard some cultivators discussing something in the distance. They said that Ye Fan had somehow broken into the Myriad Dragon Nest, drawing out the ancient races within.

As things escalated, Ye Fan was forced to leave the Northern Region and hide near the desolate ancient forbidden land in the Southern Region, leaving many people astonished.

"I've heard that all of this has a reason, and it all started with a five-colored altar!" A cultivator revealed this insider information with a mysterious expression.

Upon hearing this, someone became anxious and urged, "Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what exactly happened!"

The person who had just leaked the information grinned smugly, and after whetting everyone's appetite, said, "You all know that the Princess of the Myriad Dragon Nest was born a few months ago, right?"

"On that day, various powerful forces went to pay their respects, and some people saw a damaged five-colored altar there. News of this has only recently come out!"

"That five-colored altar is a grand array that spans the starry sky. When Ye Fan, the Holy Body, heard the news, he went mad for no reason and sneaked into the Myriad Dragon Nest that very night!"

Qi Zhe was also taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but stroke his chin as he pondered. After a moment, he muttered strangely, "Is this a departure from Beidou?"

Ye Fan had always wanted to return to Earth and had gone through many hardships in doing so, so it's not hard to explain his impulsive reaction after hearing about the Five-Colored Altar.

However, he didn't know the whole story and wasn't sure if Ye Fan had acted impulsively, so he could only continue listening to see what the situation was.

"Did he get it?" Someone asked on Qi Zhe's behalf, which resonated with many others who eagerly awaited the answer.

"I don't know, but I'm certain he took something, and even enraged the Dragon Nest, causing their Great Saint to emerge directly!"

The man looked serious, quite certain that Ye Fan had used some magical means to penetrate deep into the Myriad Dragon Nest and even take away its divine artifacts.

This was undoubtedly a major event, and even the Great Sage in the Myriad Dragon Nest came out to chase after him. If Ye Fan hadn't been prepared, he certainly wouldn't have been able to escape.

"Ye Fan, you're really something!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe's lips curled into a smirk. He knew that Ye Fan had either taken the elixir of immortality or taken the demon with him; otherwise, things would never have turned out this way.

"This is truly terrifying! The Ten Thousand Dragons Nest contains imperial weapons and Great Sages, yet he still managed to seize them. It's unbelievable!"

Some people were filled with surprise, marveling that he could steal the treasure like this.

"I don't think he'll live much longer. The Myriad Dragon Nest is really angry this time. They'll even bring Ye Fan back if he escapes into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!" Then the man dropped a bombshell, saying that the Great Sage in the Myriad Dragon Nest was preparing to join forces with another royal family to attack the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

This news was even more astonishing, shocking many cultivators. Even Qi Zhe doubted that he had heard correctly and then turned to leave.

"If that's really the case, wouldn't it cause a battle in the restricted area?" Qi Zhe was somewhat dazed, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.

He strode swiftly to the back mountain of Qishi Mansion, where he saw the old mansion lord sitting cross-legged on the cliff. He immediately asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of the Eastern Wilderness?"

As one of the few rare saints among the human race, the old mansion lord must have excellent information resources, and you can definitely get true information from him.

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, the old manor lord slowly opened his eyes, a ray of light flashing across the sky in the blink of an eye. He then turned to look at Qi Zhe and nodded.

"Of course I've heard it, and it's all true," the old manor lord said in a faint voice.

Qi Zhe remained silent upon hearing this, then frowned and pondered for a long time before revealing a cryptic smile and saying, "In that case, perhaps I should do something."

Qi Zhe didn't intend to save Ye Fan; if Ye Fan really escaped into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he could definitely save his life. He just wanted to see if he could take advantage of him.

If Wanlong's Nest were to actually attack the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Qi Zhe predicted that it would end in a dismal failure, and they might suffer heavy losses.

He left the Northern Region because of the Myriad Dragon Nest. If given the chance, he wouldn't mind kicking someone when they're down and trying to kill a few Ancestral Kings.

"If I have the chance, I might be able to slaughter a saint under the Milky Way." Qi Zhe muttered to himself, turned around and left, disappearing from the back mountain of Qishi Mansion in the blink of an eye.

The old manor lord was quite taken aback by Qi Zhe's ramblings. Qi Zhe had truly exceeded his expectations, dreaming in broad daylight.

"Young people always talk big," the old mansion master muttered to himself, but did not stop Qi Zhe, letting him leave.

Qi Zhe moved with incredible speed. After leaving the Qishi Mansion, he found a treasure land and began to inscribe Dao patterns, intending to directly traverse billions of miles of void.

"Shh!"

As the void cracked open, a void passage leading directly to the Southern Region was opened. Qi Zhe stepped into it and disappeared as a wisp of light.

The Eastern Wilderness had changed drastically by then. Cultivators from many ancient clans were gathering in the Southern Region, and the area near the Ancient Forbidden Land was already overcrowded.

Ye Fan is now trapped, forced to remain on the outskirts of the desolate ancient forbidden zone, where a single misstep could send him tumbling inside.

Many people connected to him were hiding in the shadows. Qi Zhe discovered them as soon as he arrived. Ji Ziyue and Pang Bo were both there.

The two stood on a high mountain outside the desolate forbidden land. Nearby were several bandits, and the big black dog, as strong as an ox, was also there.

Among this group of people, the most eye-catching was a little girl of about three or four years old. She had two pigtails, was exquisitely beautiful, and extremely cute.

"Why is big brother there?" Little Nannan asked, sitting on the back of the Black Emperor, her big, bright eyes full of confusion.

Ye Fan was thousands of miles away from them, sitting on a small bronze coffin with a large cauldron hanging above his head, only a step away from the desolate ancient forbidden land.

In the distance, many ancient clansmen dressed in brocade robes were watching him and his cauldron with apprehension, fearing that he would release the fearsome human demon.

"Ye Fan! If you return the demon and the divine medicine today, we may spare your life and even treat you as an honored guest!"

The ancient ancestral king from Wanlong Nest looked very serious, and he kept praising him, almost promising to marry his princess to him.
