Cao Ya knew that the two people who confronted each other on that ancient path to immortality were the Great Emperor Wushi and the Undying Emperor.

Although the Great Emperor Wushi went to the Crack World and the Immortal Emperor was reborn as a ball of flesh, and neither of them are on the path to immortality, their power still exists, affecting the path to immortality and preventing it from closing, thus ensuring its eternal existence.

Of course, this road is definitely off-limits.

After all, the correct path to immortality will not appear for hundreds of years.

It ignited the biggest dark upheaval in history!

Thinking about the future darkness and turmoil, Cao Ya felt very heavy-hearted.

He didn't care much about the path to immortality. He didn't need to go to the immortal realm or obtain the substance for longevity; he had already achieved immortality long ago.

However, his power is not enough; although his lifespan is infinite, he is destined for calamity.

"In the end, it all comes down to a matter of strength," Cao Ya sighed.

He wandered around this ancient battlefield, not in a hurry to attack the Undying Emperor, mainly because he was instructed by the Great Emperor Wushi to wait for an opportunity.

Because of the separation by a world, the Great Emperor Wushi could not use too much power. He needed to rely on something to drag away the Undying Emperor.

Cao Ya roughly knew what the Great Emperor Wushi wanted to borrow.

What else could it be but the Beginningless Bell?

The Big Dipper, this ancient star known as the Burial Emperor Star, has given birth to many ancient emperors and great emperors. Even emperors and kings born in other star fields would visit the Big Dipper and live here for tens of thousands of years until their death.

The seven forbidden zones of life have been the places where countless supreme beings have lingered on for a living throughout history.

Now, the ancient races have emerged, and their arrogance and domineering nature has been met with a powerful blow from the human saints at the Yaochi Gathering of yesteryear. Even the ancient great saint, wielding an ancient imperial weapon, perished with resentment.

After that battle, all the ancient races ceased their attacks and dared not provoke the human race again.

Of course, the undercurrents of conflict continue unabated.

Many ancient powerhouses lingered in the forbidden zones of life, seeking to confirm the identities of the ancient supreme beings, thereby bolstering their confidence and enabling them to turn the tide and overpower the human race.

The five forbidden zones of life—the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Reincarnation Sea, the Undying Mountain, the Divine Ruins, and the Immortal Tomb—are almost always frequented by powerful beings from the Primordial Era, who devoutly offer sacrifices and kowtow three times with each step, hoping to receive a response from the Supreme Being.

Besides forbidden zones, places like Purple Mountain, the burial site of the ancient immortal emperor in the eyes of the world, are frequented by many of the Eight Divine Generals, who hope to discover the immortal emperor's remains and further enhance the emperor's foundation so that he can dominate the Eastern Wilderness.

The Emperor's son also frequently appears near Zishan.

Its meaning is self-evident.

The movements of these ancient clan powerhouses caught the attention of human cultivators. Some were worried, believing that if the ancient clan powerhouses had really figured out something, the situation might be reversed in an instant.

Even the mighty Great Sage is no match for the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.

Some people, however, feel that they don't need to worry about it at all.

When the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is born, it doesn't matter what race you are. As long as you are alive, you are regarded as walking "food" by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, and can be wiped out on a large scale when needed.

Therefore, in the latter's view, the actions of the ancient clan's powerful figures were simply utterly irrational.

"As far as I know, there are indeed some supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life, who are ancient emperors."

Inside the village of the heavens, the Black Emperor stood up and frowned as he spoke.

"So, those ancient powerhouses might actually gain something?" Ye Fan's pupils shrank.

Black Emperor nodded solemnly.

Now, Ye Fan has returned to Beidou, bringing with him Divine Knight, Dragon Horse, Hua Hua, Zhang Qingyang, Long Yuxuan, and others back to Tianzhi Village to reunite with his old friends from Beidou.

People like Hei Huang, Sheng Huangzi, Duan De, Li Tian, ​​Yan Yixi, Dongfang Ye, Li Heishui, and others, as well as the people of Tianzhi Village, including the old assassin leader Qi Luo who has already become a saint.

They have been making occasional moves lately, targeting those ancient geniuses, and have achieved considerable success.

However, the actions of the ancient sages still worried them.

Especially after hearing what the Black Emperor said, he became even more worried.

Now they all know that Black Emperor was a dog raised by Emperor Wushi in his later years. As someone who followed Emperor Wushi, Black Emperor knows many secrets.

"It's a pity that Daoist Cao Ya is gone and not in the Big Dipper. Otherwise, if he were to be reborn, he would surely be able to subdue those ancient sages." Li Heishui sighed.

They had heard Ye Fan mention his experiences in the starry sky and knew about Cao Ya's battle against an unknown quasi-emperor.

Although the Golden Age has begun, no one among the younger generation has yet achieved sainthood. While some old monsters among the older generation have become saints, those at the Great Saint level are still elders from thousands of years ago or ancient, sealed-away powerhouses. There are no contemporary cultivators who have achieved this.

As for the quasi-emperor level, it's naturally even further behind.

Speaking of which, Cao Ya is also an "old man" from ancient times who has been buried in history, although he is not very old.

"I never expected that Daoist Cao Ya would become a quasi-emperor so quickly. Could it be that he is about to attain enlightenment in the end?" Li Tian muttered.

"How about we go and pull off a couple more heists?" Duan Deze grinned as he looked at Ye Fan, the Holy Prince, and the Black Emperor.

"Wait! Are you referring to the Primordial Prodigies, or..." Ye Fan said.

"Of course it's... digging up graves!" Duan De gasped for breath and said, "There are so many ancient saints, including great saints. And Daoist Cao Ya is gone. What if we cause trouble? Grave robbing doesn't have so many scruples. As long as we hide it well, who will know it was us? It can also effectively demoralize the ancient races. Even our ancestors' graves have been dug up. What's the point of saying anything else?"

The group remained silent, knowing that this unscrupulous Taoist priest would never consider confronting an ancient powerhouse head-on.

"I must say, that's a good idea." Ye Fan stroked his chin.

"I heard that the Crown Prince is lingering near Purple Mountain, searching for his father's whereabouts. Since he's so sincere, let's give him a chance," the Black Emperor chuckled, clearly harboring ulterior motives.

“That works!” Duan De thought for a moment and nodded. “Purple Mountain is the tomb of the Immortal Emperor. What difference does it make if we dig there? We’re sure to find something much richer in the Immortal Emperor’s tomb!”

“I have no objection,” said the Holy Prince, holding an iron rod, his pupils radiating golden light.

Because of his father's fate, he has never had any goodwill towards the lineage of the Immortal Emperor.

Soon, a group of people set off, including Ye Fan, Hei Huang, Duan De, the Holy Prince, Long Ma, Li Heishui, and others, all heading towards Zishan.

Sure enough, near Zishan, they discovered the figures of the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals.

"Hehe, they're unlucky to have run into us," the Black Emperor laughed, spitting out an array plate that sealed off the area.

These eight divine generals under the Heavenly Emperor's command were not as capable as the eight divine generals under the Immortal Heavenly Emperor. Under the ambush of a group of people, even though they outnumbered each other, they were still no match and were all killed by Ye Fan and his group.

"These guys aren't very strong, but they have a lot of treasures on them," Longma said in surprise.

“You’ve only just arrived and don’t yet understand the status of the Undying Emperor. If you did, you’d just say these things aren’t worthy of the dignity of the Eight Divine Generals,” Duan De laughed.

"Then I really want to see for myself." Longma was eager to try.

Ye Fan shook his head. With Black Emperor, Duan De, and Long Ma all together, there was no way to deal with them.
