# Chapter 1097: All Saints Arrive
Ye Fan's heart surged with waves of emotion. Looking at the magnificent bronze palace, he thought of Ji Ziyue and recalled all the experiences when they had mistakenly broken into the Immortal Hall, his heartstrings trembling slightly.
In this place, the old copper block within his body was unusually sensitive, just like back then, as if stimulated, suddenly "reviving."
This place was extremely terrifying. This Immortal-related bronze hall seemed to have come alive, different from before. Now it was emitting light on its own, and three ancient saints could not break free!
Its scale was grand, towering like a small mountain, who knew how much bronze had been consumed. Now covered in green rust, it bore the marks of ancient years.
The copper rust traces were heavy, fully displaying an ancient and weathered feel, yet it did not diminish its splendor. Billions of immortal rays shot out, intertwining into supreme Dao marks, densely covering this place.
It was going to refine these three ancient saints!
They were all roaring, pressing against the entrance of the bronze hall, exhausting their entire cultivation to support themselves, barely managing not to be completely absorbed.
Ye Fan clearly remembered that when he and Ji Ziyue had broken into the bronze hall back then, the interior was deathly still, nothing like this scene. It was like a tomb, without immortal light or Dao marks. Otherwise, they likely wouldn't have walked out alive.
"This ancient bronze hall holds the heaven-defying secret of Immortals," Duan De swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It actually appeared within Ruthless Great Emperor's tomb. It seems there's a great karmic connection with her." Black Emperor's bronze-bell-sized eyes gleamed.
This time, the ancient tomb's collapse might be related to the Bronze Immortal Hall. Its emitted aura had intensified the cracking of this highland, leading to the complete collapse and the appearance of the heavenly pit.
Compared to the Bronze Immortal Hall, the three ancient saints were like ants in height. This bronze hall was simply too massive, and it was emitting infinite immortal light.
Clearly, they had discovered Ye Fan and the others. Huo Tan's pair of pupils were like black suns, pitch-black and unfathomably deep, emitting strands of dark light as they swept over, carrying an aura of looking down from on high, treating them like ants.
Unfortunately, he couldn't break free, couldn't charge over, and couldn't even make a move.
Ye Fan, Duan De, Black Emperor, and the others were all unafraid. The three were trapped there, barely able to save themselves, their survival uncertain.
"Mother Qi... so much?!" The Dragon Horse's four hooves emitted sparks and flames as it circled far around the bronze hall, looking full of excess energy.
Ye Tong also opened his mouth wide, showing an expression of disbelief, saying, "Master, is this the source of your cauldron?"
"Ruthless Great Emperor is truly extraordinary. What was she trying to do? Dig open a chaotic immortal land? Was she forging the strongest immortal weapon? With so much Mother Qi casting a cauldron, repeatedly refining, who could withstand a single strike?" Big Black Dog was also shocked.
Outside the Bronze Immortal Hall, Mother Qi of All Things swirled in layers, forming sheets, mountains, and seas. Layer upon layer, as heavy as star domains, pressing down until one could barely breathe. Countless Dao marks were interweaving.
Any single strand of Mother Qi could collapse a mountain ridge. With so much gathered together, how heavy was this? Ancient Great Emperors used it to forge weapons—was it to shatter other Imperial weapons in one strike?
For ordinary people, finding a single strand of Mother Qi was a great fortune. Now, so much of it shrouded this place like clouds, ancient and grand, majestic and vast—it was a miracle.
"Rise!"
Ye Fan shouted. Within his forehead bone, a golden little figure opened its eyes, stood up, and took a step forward, using Dao marks as battle armor and the cauldron as a weapon.
The Primordial Qi Cauldron hung above his head. The golden little figure opened its mouth and let out a clear cry. The small cauldron rapidly enlarged, flew forward, and began to devour like a whale sucking in water, absorbing the sea of Mother Qi!
"You dare..." Huo Tan was furious, finally changing color. He could no longer remain silent or calm.
So much Mother Qi of All Things, even without the source root, was still a divine material rarely seen in the world. If obtained, it would be a heaven-defying fortune.
What was most precious? Naturally, the weapons of ancient Great Emperors. And this Mother Qi was what the Human Clan Great Emperor had prepared for forging weapons—its value was immeasurable.
The other two ancient saints changed color but were powerless. They could barely save themselves—how could they stop him?
"Human Clan's Sacred Body, you killed my people and stole my fortune. This is a great enmity. If I break free, I will kill you a hundred times. Even the Battle Victory Buddha would have nothing to say." Huo Tan spoke darkly.
"Worry about that when you break free. I have no time for you now. Find yourself a place to cool off." Ye Fan said casually.
At this moment, his mood was excellent. His cauldron was swallowing the sea of Mother Qi, absorbing it into the cauldron walls, fusing it into one.
The Weapon Art operated. His cauldron rose and fell, clanging loudly. Mother Qi flowed like ten thousand rivers returning to the sea, pressing the void to twist and collapse, merging with the cauldron, indistinguishable from each other.
The Primordial Mother Qi Root was thus unified. Ruthless Great Emperor's Imperial weapon material, rare in ten thousand ages. Huo Tan's red eyes and furious roars were naturally the most normal thing in the world!
The cauldron, the essence of Mother Qi, now merged with the sea of Mother Qi, blending perfectly, emitting a life-like fluctuation, as if a divine spirit was about to be born.
"You have the fate to take it, but not the fate to use it." Huo Tan laughed coldly and darkly. He was filled with unwillingness, his killing intent fully exposed, completely undisguised.
If he could move, he would certainly act in the first moment, grinding Ye Fan into ash. What a pity.
"You won't have that chance. Even if you've become a Saint-rank figure, it doesn't mean you won't fall. Better watch yourself." Ye Fan laughed.
He didn't care at all. What could be more exciting than perfecting one's Dao-proving weapon? His cauldron embraced all rivers, absorbing all the Mother Qi, Dao marks interweaving.
"Twenty-Three, you'd better watch your mouth, or I'll give you a pan-fry and then a donkey roll." The Dragon Horse spouted nonsense.
As it spoke, it raised its hoof, ready to kick over and add insult to injury, letting Huo Tan die in the Bronze Immortal Hall.
"Don't!" Duan De quickly stopped it, telling it not to act rashly.
That bronze hall, with billions of immortal rays, was about to swallow the Ancestral King. If they rashly attacked and got swallowed too, it would be a huge problem.
"This balance cannot be broken. If they're lucky, they'll break out. If not, they'll wait to fall." Black Emperor also said.
Ye Fan finished. The cauldron was now many times heavier than before, but fortunately, it had long been refined. Its weight wasn't borne by him. Now, if he smashed it out, using just a bit of magical power, he could probably turn ordinary enemies directly into powder.
"Kid, such precious things have fallen into your hands. You need to compensate us, or we split evenly. If it were someone else, this Emperor would have already snatched them!" Big Black Dog shouted.
"When you killed the Celestial Prince and pulled out all those good things from his body, why didn't you hand them over?" Ye Fan exposed his old secrets.
"Boundless Heavenly Venerable. Since this is your Dao-proving object, this poor Daoist has the grace to help others achieve their goals. Just give me an extra share of the Enlightenment Tea obtained from Immortal Emperor's palace."
"And mine too..." The Dragon Horse also shouted.
The three top-quality characters all clamored. Ye Tong was very proper and wouldn't think of dividing his master's treasures.
Not far away, the three ancient saints fumed silently, watching a few juniors take away the ancient Great Emperor's exclusive immortal material, and now even daring to discuss dividing the spoils here. It truly made them hateful.
Especially Huo Tan, whose lungs were about to explode. Because that Dragon Horse kept calling him "Twenty-Three," and from the tone, it certainly wasn't anything good. It looked at him sideways, never treating him as a Saint.
"Alas..." Duan De frowned, as if sensing something.
"Not good. A Saint has arrived. This Emperor's array patterns are reacting. My heart is pounding." Black Emperor changed color.
Now, not being Saints themselves, lacking the capital to stand firm, they naturally had to be cautious. Before entering, they had set up various array patterns. As long as a Saint descended, they would be warned.
Black Emperor said nothing more, took out the chessboard array platform, opened the void, and directly stepped into it, quickly disappearing from this place.
"What a pity. Beneath the Bronze Immortal Hall is a chaotic immortal land. There are probably divine treasures inside." Duan De was very regretful.
"Too regrettable!" The Dragon Horse was restless, but there was no choice. A Saint had arrived; they could only retreat.
"The Mother Qi is temporarily stored with you. Your heads are also kept for now. I will come to collect them!" Huo Tan said darkly.
"Twenty-Three, just wait to die peacefully." The Dragon Horse's words nearly choked him to death.
"Go!"
Light flashed, and they disappeared from the underground world.
In the distance, mysterious ripples spread. A domain gate opened, and a woman with fiery red hair walked out. Her body was long and vigorous—a powerful ancient clan member.
"Blood Lightning Queen is here!"
Many people exclaimed. This was a Saint King. She had appeared at the Yao Chi gathering and once fought against Divine King Jiang. Today, she had personally descended. Matters were growing larger. Even such figures could no longer sit still.
She didn't act rashly. She circled the abyss for a long time before taking a step down. When she reached the distant Bronze Immortal Hall, she saw the three ancient saints trapped.
"Boom!"
Half an hour later, with a loud noise, the Blood Lightning Queen rushed up. Her body was covered in patches of blood, nearly exploding. Behind her, three other figures were even more miserable, their primordial spirit fires almost extinguished, their bodies broken beyond recognition.
"Ah..."
After rushing up, they all shouted, filled with anger. There were immortal treasures underground, yet they couldn't be obtained. A single immortal hall was enough to suppress everyone!
Especially Huo Tan, who felt extremely stifled. He had been mocked by Ye Fan and the Dragon Horse, watching helplessly as the Primordial Qi Cauldron was looted. The unwillingness and resentment were beyond words.
"Human Clan's Sacred Body, I will definitely kill you. Even if a god is reborn, they can't save you!" Huo Tan roared.
Boom! The sound waves were like heavenly thunder. Near the great tomb, many cultivators' bodies cracked. Those with weaker cultivation directly burst apart, turning into blood mist. When a Sage is angered, countless corpses fall—this was no empty talk.
"Quite the big talk. I wonder, if one day a god truly descends, how will you handle yourself?" An aged voice came.
Silently, the old Saint Wei Yi from the Tianxuan Holy Land Stone Workshop appeared, calm as an ancient well, standing there like a piece of dead wood.
The Blood Lightning Queen was on high alert, her expression changing. Which Human Clan Saint was ordinary? Back at the Yao Chi gathering, a White-Robed Divine King had killed ancient clan Saints, blood splattering the sky, batch after batch dying, severely depleting their strength.
This old Saint, even she couldn't fathom his depth. Her heart pounded wildly, and she dared not act rashly.
Wei Yi stood there, silently deducing for a moment, then frowned. Without a word, his figure blurred and he vanished into thin air.
At the same moment Wei Yi disappeared, he took away many cultivators from the highland, teleporting them to the distant sky.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the Bronze Immortal Hall expanded to ten thousand zhang, rushing up the heavenly pit. Countless immortal rays shone like a sun. Inside, a bloody "Immortal" transformed into a beam of light, reflected in the void, spanning past and present.
The Blood Lightning Queen, Huo Tan, and the others rapidly retreated. Their bones cracked, and they nearly exploded on the spot, covered in blood, almost crushed to death.
"What a fine immortal hall. Truly extraordinary. Hard to imagine who punched a big hole inside it, forcing their way out." An aged voice said. Chaos Expansion Great Sage manifested, appearing at the horizon.
Behind him were several ancient Saints, advancing and retreating together. Clearly, they were determined to obtain the divine treasures within the great tomb.
On the other side, a figure appeared before the Human Clan. White robes fluttering—it was Divine King Jiang Taixu. He too had revealed his traces.
As soon as the Divine King appeared, the scene immediately fell into chaos. Many ancient clan members trembled. Even some Ancestral Kings felt a chill down their spines. At the Yao Chi gathering, the Peerless Divine King had killed until their hearts and gallbladders were cold.
"Heh, this bronze hall is related to Immortals. How about we open it together and see what's inside?" A figure descended, very ancient. Many were shocked—it was the Great Sage of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
An Imperial tomb had triggered a heaven-overturning chaos. Many ancient kings and even several Great Sages could no longer sit still, wanting to open it and obtain the secret of becoming an Immortal.
"The tomb of a Human Clan Great Emperor—outsiders will find it hard to move..." Jiang Taixu muttered to himself.
