Chapter 1096: The Bronze Immortal Hall Again
The Primordial Qi Cauldron trembled lightly, as if it had gained a divine will. The originally plain cauldron walls emitted a halo, and the marks carved by heavenly tribulation revived like living creatures.
At the same time, the golden figure in Ye Fan's brow opened its eyes. Over the years, this golden primordial spirit had embraced the small cauldron, jointly comprehending the Dao and ancient scriptures.
"The Bronze Immortal Hall... I sense its aura!"
Ye Fan revealed an expression of disbelief. This mobile immortal hall had been wandering beneath the Eastern Wasteland, appearing in different locations each time, holding secrets related to immortals.
Back then, he and Ji Ziyue had stumbled into it, narrowly escaping with their lives, and it was precisely there that they obtained the Primordial Mother Qi Root.
Years had passed, and he had nearly forgotten this place. According to records, the Bronze Immortal Hall only revealed itself every few thousand or ten thousand years.
"It's human... no mistake!"
Ye Fan's forehead bone was crystalline white, divine patterns emerging. The golden figure seated within his Immortal Platform trembled, and in a trance, he saw the character "Immortal" written in blood deep within the hall.
Was it the blood of an ancient Great Emperor, or the blood of a true immortal?
This place held too many secrets. Legend said that one incarnation of the Ruthless Great Emperor had been inside, but ultimately failed in her transformation, her physical body shattered there.
"The Yaoguang lineage knows the Undying Heavenly Art, and now this hall, closely connected to the Ruthless One, appears. Could this truly be her great tomb?" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
Ye Fan understood why the Primordial Qi Cauldron hummed—it was not perfect, only the source root, not all the materials from back then.
Outside the Bronze Immortal Hall, the mother qi layer, heavy as mountains, surged violently, suffocating all. He had only used the Green Copper to extract the essence source root; the remaining divine materials were still there.
The Ruthless Great Emperor had the Devouring Demon Jar, yet she sought the mother qi from the creation of heaven and earth, naturally to forge an even stronger weapon. If she succeeded in casting an immortal weapon, it would be unparalleled in the world.
Ye Fan had always been building the cauldron's foundation with his own Dao. In recent years, he often thought that if he could refine all the immortal materials outside the hall, the cauldron might achieve perfection.
"Those mother qi are inseparable from this cauldron; they were originally one. I should unite them."
In a daze, he saw a massive bronze hall rising and sinking in a celestial pit, mother qi swirling around it, emitting immortal sounds that deafened and enlightened, making one want to attain the Dao.
"Master, what's wrong?" Ye Tong called softly.
Ye Fan was in a trance, only regaining clarity after a moment. "Didn't you hear it?"
"What are you talking about?" Duan De's eyes gleamed with sharp light.
Ye Fan looked toward the high ground again. It was desolate, with only occasional immortal rays shooting up from the abyss. Nothing else.
"It's the Ruthless Great Emperor's tomb!" Ye Fan revealed everything he sensed.
He couldn't see the deepest part of the tomb, only knowing that the Bronze Immortal Hall had appeared, suspended above a mysterious region, possibly about to soar into the sky.
"The Bronze Immortal Hall holds the secrets of immortals. It was once occupied by the Ruthless One, and has been missing for so many years. To think it rises and falls inside her tomb!" Duan De rubbed his hands, full of excitement.
"What about your Devouring Demon Jar? Hurry and offer it up. It might sense something inside the tomb," said Black Emperor.
"I didn't dare bring it. That was forged from the Ruthless One's head. I'm afraid this really is her tomb. If something goes wrong, this poor Daoist's life might end here."
Huo Tan stood by the abyss, his face dark. Several of his followers had died, yet he couldn't find Ye Fan's trace. Deadly light swirled in his eyes, inspiring fear.
"He's blocking the way. We can't get past. Otherwise, this is an immortal opportunity. Why isn't he struck by lightning!" the Dragon Horse cursed.
Suddenly, two divine rainbows shot across the Southern Domain, descending onto this high ground. Each figure emitted divine light ripples, elevating them above all.
Two Saint-level Ancient Kings had arrived, their strength formidable, surpassing Huo Tan. They were old-school saints, causing the ancient clans to exclaim and bow in reverence.
"Huo Tan, what have you gained?" One of them was shrouded in immortal divine radiance, indistinct. A divine disk shone behind his head, brilliant like a sun deity.
His voice was majestic, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. Even when addressing a fellow Ancestral King like Huo Tan, he carried an air of superiority, looking down on all beings.
Huo Tan was dissatisfied inwardly but dared not show it. Emperor Wu Shi had wanted to forge the strongest imperial bell, traveling the world, possibly visiting many ancient stars, seeking a living chaotic small world and suitable materials, but ultimately failed.
Finally, Emperor Wu Shi traveled far to the Qinling Mountains in western Central Province, unexpectedly obtaining Chaos Stone in the Immortal Transformation Pool, from which he refined the immortal materials he needed.
Duan De said, "A Great Emperor can easily refine chaos and create small worlds. But finding life within chaos is extremely difficult. Things born in chaos are supreme treasures, rarely seen in ten thousand ages."
They knew they had arrived at a divine land—a chaotic immortal soil rarely seen in ten thousand ages. If they entered, they might find priceless treasures.
"Dong"
The small abyss at the center flickered with rainbow light. An ancient structure rose and fell, blocking the entrance, preventing entry.
The aura of an ancient Great Emperor permeated the area, nearly shattering them to pieces. Fortunately, a faint green light emitted from within Ye Fan's body, opening a light curtain that protected the group.
Otherwise, without being a saint, one could not reach this place.
Standing at an appropriate position, Ye Fan, Duan De, Black Emperor, and the others showed strange expressions. They found that the three ancient clan saints were all blocked here, trapped in a life-and-death crisis.
An ancient bronze hall emitted a hazy radiance, rising and falling in the small abyss at the bottom of the celestial pit. The hall's entrance exerted a tremendous gravitational force, with countless immortal rays, nearly swallowing Huo Tan and the other two.
Even as powerful as three ancient saints, they could barely resist!
Ye Fan was stunned. It was really it. After decades, he had seen the Bronze Immortal Hall again!
