The so-called Taichu Ancient Mine is one of the seven life forbidden areas in the Eastern Wilderness. It is extremely dangerous and is no less dangerous than the ancient forbidden areas.
In a place like this, even super powers like the Holy Lands would only dare to explore it cautiously after being fully prepared.
Ji Ziyue said quickly: "That's right, that's why I suggested that Master stop. If we accidentally run into the Taichu Ancient Mine, that would be bad!"
Li Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can still react to this level of speed."
"But Ziyue is right. The Taichu Ancient Mine is indeed dangerous. So far, it is not a place we can explore..."
If Li Yun remembered correctly, in the Taichu Ancient Mine, there were at least a dozen supreme beings who had killed themselves, and most of them were ancient emperors who were famous in history. Overall, it could be said that it was the strongest one among the seven forbidden areas.
Li Yun did not think that his incarnation could fight against more than a dozen supreme beings, so he did not plan to enter the Taichu Ancient Mine now.
His target was the ancient land of Yao Chi located around the Taichu Ancient Mine, where the Taoist Palace chapter of the "Western Emperor Sutra" that Ye Fan needed was located.
In the past, Queen Mother of the West founded a sect in an ancient site outside the Taichu Ancient Mine and created the Holy Land of Yao Chi. Later, Queen Mother of the West died, and there was no emperor-level strongman to preside over Yao Chi, which led to changes, causing later generations to have to relocate the sect.
According to the description in the original book, the ancient site of Yao Chi is about ten thousand miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine.
But Li Yun didn't know exactly where it was, so he had to conduct a carpet search around the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Fortunately, Li Yun's golden light escape speed was amazing. In just half a day, he flew a full circle over a distance of about ten thousand miles with the Taichu Ancient Mine as the center.
Finally, on a reddish-brown land, Li Yun saw several vague white figures.
"It's the Fairy from Yaochi!"
Li Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved his hand, carrying Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue with him and flew over.
The so-called Fairies from the Jade Pool is a wonder of nature and heaven in the former site of the Jade Pool. It is said to be a remnant left over from the ancient times, a reflection from countless years ago, and one of the evidences that people believe there are fairies in the world.
When we arrived at the place where the flying fairy wonder appeared, the white shadow had already disappeared.
Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue opened their eyes wide and looked at the surroundings curiously.
"Master, is this really the ancient land of Yaochi?"
Ji Ziyue couldn't help but ask.
Although she had never seen the former site of the Yao Chi Holy Land before it was relocated, she had heard some legends about it.
It is said that it is a piece of landscape that is full of the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth, and a rare blessed land for immortals.
But now, what appeared before their eyes was only a desolate scene. Apart from the red sand all over the sky, there was nothing else to be seen.
Li Yun knew that this was because the husband of Queen Mother Xi, a great saint in the ancient times, voluntarily died at the hands of his wife, Queen Mother Xi, because of an ominous event in his later years.
Afterwards, Queen Mother of the West passed away and left a backup plan, hoping to use the Nirvana method to resurrect herself and her husband.
But the underworld at that time had long coveted the corpse of the Queen Mother of the West and the corpse of the Great Saint Body.
Just when they were trying every possible means to open the two coffins, a supreme ominous curse gushed out from them, polluting the entire Yao Chi Holy Land, which resulted in the Yao Chi Holy Land basically becoming a ruin.
Recalling the plot in the original novel, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Although the Emperor's Corpse and the Great Saint's Body are both extremely tempting, unfortunately, they are tainted with an ominous curse.
Of course, even if there was no curse, Li Yun would not be able to take over the bodies of the Queen Mother of the West and her husband, and their son, the first innate holy body in history - Emperor Wu Shi.
...Let’s change it!
Coincidentally, Li Yun knew that the remains of another holy body were hidden in the Northern Territory.
Thinking of this, Li Yun calmed himself down and turned his gaze to the ground below.
In an instant, divine light burst out from Li Yun's eyes, like two radiating beams of light sweeping towards the earth.
There is no doubt that he used the Tiangang magical power - [Seeing through the wall]!
When the divine light appeared, the nine heavens and ten earths, the inner and outer six directions, were all unobstructed.
In just a moment, from the seemingly barren red soil somewhere ahead, a ray of clear light shot up into the sky and pierced the clouds.
Li Yun waved his hand, and the golden light carried Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue flying over. A strong wind blew up as he waved his sleeves, peeling off the reddish-brown soil on the ground layer by layer and making it fly all over the sky.
“…Found it!”
Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue's eyes lit up.
After the red soil was blown away, what was revealed was an ancient well surrounded by ancient jade stones.
There was a huge rock on the well, emitting slight waves and constantly absorbing the sunlight projected from the sky.
“It’s right here!”
Li Yun lifted the boulder, waved his hand, and the golden light carried the two people beside him into it.
Ji Ziyue screamed, and before she could react, she was instantly more than 2,000 meters deep into the ancient well, stepping on the muddy ground.
Feeling the touch from the soles of her feet, Ji Ziyue frowned her delicate nose, waved her hands, and released several gentle breezes, forming an invisible wind wall around the soles of her shoes and her body surface.
This is one of the 72 kinds of magical powers of the earthly demons - [Borrowing the Wind].
You can control any kind of wind at any place, even a hurricane that can destroy mountains and cities, or even the strong wind caused by the opponent's weapon, which are all within the range of control.
After propping up the wind wall barrier, Ji Ziyue finally felt relieved and walked forward with Li Yun and Ye Fan.
Afterwards, the three of them traveled thirty or forty kilometers at a very fast speed, and finally realized that the terrain was getting higher and seemed to be gradually rising.
After walking a few more miles, the daylight came through and it was obvious that there was an exit ahead that connected to the outside world.
When the three finally arrived at the exit, they discovered that this was actually the entrance to the lake of an underground river. The underground river had dried up, so it became the muddy tunnel it is today.
The dried-up underground river leads to an equally dried-up lake.
The surface of the lake had long been cracked and there were many large white fish bones lying on the ground.
A quick glance revealed that many of the fish bones were nearly twenty meters long, and it was obvious that they were also powerful spirit fish when they were alive.
Li Yun leaped up and landed on the lakeshore. Ye Fan and the others followed closely and also came to the land beside the lake.
There are countless towering ancient trees growing here, but just like the lake next to it, these ancient trees are all dry and withered, bare, and obviously have long been cursed and have lost their vitality.
Looking at the shocking scenes around him, Ye Fan couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you know what happened in Yaochi?"
“…”
Li Yun glanced at him and said calmly: "You are just a cultivator in the Lunhai Realm, so don't worry so much."
"These are not the things you should know now... Come on, I'll take you to find the Dao Palace Chapter of the Western Emperor Scripture first!"
Ye Fan immediately responded happily: "Okay!"
Ji Ziyue looked at him speechlessly, then took a step forward and followed Li Yun.
Since Li Yun had a good moral standard, this trip was only for the Western Emperor Sutra and he had no intention of offending the Western Queen Mother and the Great Saint Body.
But unfortunately, Li Yun’s morals do not mean that others also have morals.
On their way to the stone carving of "The Western Emperor Sutra", the fairy lakes, palaces, and even medicinal fields they passed by had all been looted. In some places where no one knew what was there, even the ground was dug up.
“…Too cruel, too cruel!”
Ye Fan looked around and couldn't help complaining, "Who on earth did this? Can't they leave something for those who come after them?"
Li Yun glanced at him and said, "Most of them were done by the descendants of Yao Chi, and a small part was done by cultivators who accidentally fell into this place... Why, do you regret coming here so late?"
"really."
Ye Fan nodded subconsciously, and then reacted immediately. Facing Ji Ziyue's contemptuous gaze, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course, if it were me, I would definitely not dig up even the land."
Ji Ziyue complained: "But there's nothing else left, right?"
Ye Fan said confidently: "You are born in an ancient family, how can you understand the hardships of us casual cultivators? What the heaven and earth created and what our ancestors left behind are all gifts. If you really keep them, it would be a waste of heaven's gifts!"
The two of them followed Li Yun forward while bickering with each other.
Soon, the three of them came to a stone forest.
There is no grass here, and there are rocky mountains and cliffs everywhere.
There are many engravings on every cliff of the stone mountain.
Some of them are obviously secret techniques, while others are wonders of nature and rare birds and animals.
Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue walked among the stone forest, curiously looking at the stone carvings that were engraved with martial arts techniques.
There were some mysterious stone carvings, and Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue both wanted to stay and comprehend them.
But unfortunately, Li Yun sneered at the fighting secrets engraved on these stone carvings and belittled them as worthless. Then he kept urging Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue to find the cliff with the mark of Tianri engraved on it.
According to the original description, when the "Western Emperor Sutra" was first created, the Western Emperor Mother was realizing the truth and taking notes at the same time, which resulted in the scriptures of various realms of the "Western Emperor Sutra" being scattered among this stone mountain and not concentrated together.
The stone cliffs engraved with the imprint of the sun and sky are the scriptures of the Dao Palace Chapter of the Western Emperor Sutra.
“…Found it!”
Ye Fan's surprised voice came from not far away.
Ji Ziyue's eyes lit up and she quickly controlled the divine rainbow to fly over.
Ye Fan and Li Yun were seen standing in front of a stone mountain, looking thoughtfully at the mark of the sun and sky on it.
Ji Ziyue looked at the stone carving with anticipation, but then her expression froze and her eyes widened.
"...Furry boy, are you sure? Is this really a scripture?"
"What can you see from just a circle?"
Li Yun smiled and said: "This is indeed the scripture of the Western Emperor Scripture, but to comprehend it, not only does it require an extremely high level of comprehension, but it also requires the sutra of Yao Chi."
Ye Fan stroked the Heavenly Sun Mark and turned his head in surprise: "Jingyin?"
Li Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I originally planned to take you to find the sutra first, but now, there is no need for that."
As he spoke, Li Yun closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them.
In an instant, two rays of divine light burst out from his eyes and hit the stone wall.
In just a moment, divine light penetrated the stone wall, and the sky full of brilliance shot up into the sky. A sun broke away from the stone wall and rose into the air, dyeing the entire sky red like a real scorching sun.
...It works!
Li Yun smiled and patted Ye Fan on the head: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you comprehend the scriptures quickly?"
