Chapter 1274: Primordial Magnetic Immortal Cave
The mountains and rivers were magnificent, the spiritual energy so dense it could not be dispersed. Ye Fan truly felt the preciousness of this training ground. Aside from the fierce birds and savage beasts that roamed the heavens and earth, and the ancient medicinal herbs scattered everywhere, there were also many fertile lands.
He walked on foot, seeing one cultivation treasure land after another, filled with auspicious vapors rising, extremely suitable for cultivation. There were even some lakes, multicolored and radiant, with auspicious mist swirling, which could be called spiritual lakes, overflowing with essence energy.
These were all rare divine lands.
He even witnessed the process of Source formation. In certain places, the essence of heaven and earth condensed into liquid, forming crystals, each one sparkling and translucent.
Ye Fan had been deep within the Primordial Training Ground for over half a month, comprehending the Dao and cultivating, but had not encountered any opponents. Only the Dragon Horse followed behind him, also immersed in a wonderful state.
"It's time to go take a look."
He mounted the Dragon Horse, soared into the sky, stepped on auspicious clouds, and galloped across the heavens with a rumbling sound, causing all the powerful strange beasts in the ancient spiritual mountains to dare not show themselves.
"Caw!"
A Golden Crow and a Flood Dragon were locked in battle, fighting over a Blood Phoenix Vine. The ancient vine, red as agate and crystal clear, was not thick or long, only about three meters, shaped like a divine phoenix spreading its wings, provoking a bloody battle between beast kings.
"This place is truly extraordinary, to have such a thing. Legend says that the essence blood left behind by immortals in the world gives birth to some strange plants and ancient herbs. This should be one of those precious vines," the Dragon Horse said.
When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman profits. The Dragon Horse suddenly charged in and snatched the Blood Phoenix Vine, biting into it like a cow chewing a peony. Immediately, its body flashed with red light, essence energy shot out in all directions, nearly splitting it apart.
They traversed tens of thousands of miles through the air, arriving at a tranquil area. Ahead, light shimmered, and a woman sat cross-legged in a pool about three meters wide, surrounded by strands of holy light.
"This is... Dragon Saliva Liquid," Ye Fan said in surprise.
The spiritual pool was small, only about three meters across. Inside, essence energy steamed, light flowed, and all around, spiritual herbs and ancient medicinal plants grew. The bubbling pool liquid was the essence spat out by the dragon head of the earth vein, a precious liquid nurtured by the earth, rare and hard to come by.
Mu Guanghan sat cross-legged within it. The precious liquid soaked her clothes, her graceful jade body faintly visible, her curves moving, her cloud-like hair smooth and soft, scattered over her snow-white neck.
Her eyes were closed as she bathed in the Dragon Saliva Liquid, merging with the underground dragon vein and the entire landscape. A vast force surged.
"This girl has great fortune, actually finding such a treasure land to comprehend the Dao. Half the effort yields double the result," the Dragon Horse said, looking eager to try its luck and ambush her.
But in the end, it did not act. Mu Guanghan had never provoked them, and they did not want to ruin someone's foundation without cause. Comprehending their own Dao was most important, because they only had one month, and every minute spent in such a wonderful place was precious.
"Amitabha..."
Deep within another mountain range, the Buddhist chant roared like thunder. That place became a golden world, with various Buddha lights flowing, flooding the entire mountain range and ancient land.
The Bitter Ascetic was cultivating, almost transforming a spiritual mountain into a Buddha land. The scene was magnificent. In the heavens, three thousand ancient Buddhas chanted, shaking the earth.
"What is this monk doing?" the Dragon Horse asked in surprise.
"He is opening up a void Buddha land," Ye Fan said, moved.
One by one, ancient Bodhisattvas and ancient Buddhas transformed into golden figures, surrounding the Bitter Ascetic, revolving around him, mysterious and grand.
"That mountain is cracking open, revealing a small temple," the Dragon Horse said, wide-eyed.
Ahead, that towering giant mountain showed cracks, and an ancient temple rose up, emitting ten thousand rays of light, illuminating all directions. Vaguely, the shadow of a great Buddha could be seen sitting cross-legged inside.
"The fluctuation inside the temple is very strong. This is a legacy," Ye Fan said, squinting as he stood in the distance, not leaving.
That small temple sucked the Bitter Ascetic inside. Golden light almost turned into liquid, covering the area. Then, with a flash of blazing light, everything disappeared.
The ancient temple, the chanting, the three thousand Bodhisattvas and Buddhas all vanished cleanly.
"This bald guy has a big background. We couldn't break in. That small temple is definitely a divine treasure," the Dragon Horse said, its eyes burning.
"That is a Buddhist item. It most likely requires a special mantra to open," Ye Fan said without lingering. He turned and left, having roughly understood what kind of world this was. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures were endless, containing boundless opportunities.
No wonder Yan Chifeng had been following along for so many years. The benefits were truly too many.
Ye Fan landed on the ground, no longer searching. He comprehended the Dao and cultivated his body, walking on foot. He was adjusting his own state, preparing to break through the restrictions of this world and take a look.
Because this was not a living ancient star, but rather a sealed world. He did not know what the external situation was like.
After walking for several days like this, Ye Fan met an acquaintance. Rui Wei was collecting various heavenly and earthly essences. Seeing him, he was very happy.
"This is really a good place. If I could lead my people here to live, it would be like entering paradise."
Rui Wei could only think about it. The Primordial Training Ground, as a trial site, would never be opened for outsiders to live in. This place was of great importance.
"Have you seen any special places?" Ye Fan asked.
Rui Wei said, "There are several forbidden areas, very dangerous. Ordinary people dare not enter. Especially a Magnetic Ground, the most terrifying. As long as you have a metal weapon, it will inevitably cause you to be torn apart."
"Where is it?" the Dragon Horse immediately asked.
Ye Fan was also excited. He had a wondrous technique to cultivate that required divine magnetism. He needed to use it for tempering to achieve perfection.
"It's not far from here. It's truly a dangerous place. I saw some people turn to dust as soon as they got close, let alone go deeper," Rui Wei said, his face pale.
"I'll go take a look."
Rui Wei warned, "Brother Ye, you must not take risks for no reason. That place is truly not a good place. There are piles of white bone ash everywhere, terrifying and boundless."
This was a mottled ancient land, eerily quiet. There were no ancient herbs, no spiritual plants, and not a single strange beast in sight. It was deathly still.
Deep in the mountain range, there was a giant peak towering into the clouds, tens of thousands of feet high. At the base of the mountain, beams of immortal light shot up, revealing an ancient cave.
In front of the mountain range, white bone powder had accumulated thickly, making this place a true death zone. Yet the immortal light within the cave was so alluring.
"Brother Ye, are you really going in?" Rui Wei worried.
"I'm just going to cultivate a divine technique. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ye Fan said, patting him on the shoulder.
"I have a Calamity-Avoiding Ancient Tablet here. If you encounter danger, you can crush it immediately, and it will instantly free you," Rui Wei said, handing over a stone tablet only about a foot long, covered in many runes.
This was a secret treasure he kept for saving his life. Now he lent it to Ye Fan, worried he might have trouble here.
"No need," Ye Fan shook his head.
He did not rush in immediately. Instead, he began to circulate the Primordial Magnetic wondrous technique on the periphery, cultivating and drawing out strands of immortal light.
The Dragon Horse did the same, earnestly comprehending the Dao and experiencing the wonders of this secret technique.
Immediately, one man and one horse were enveloped in electromagnetic light, looking mysterious. Their bodies were crystal clear, almost transparent. Of course, this was not electromagnetic in the traditional sense, but divine magnetism.
Two hours later, Rui Wei was moved and had to retreat, leaving the mountain range. Because this place was completely covered by immortal light. That one man and one horse gradually advanced, entering the ancient cave.
From that day on, horse neighs, dog barks, dragon roars, and qilin cries sounded from time to time. Ye Fan gritted his teeth and persevered, but the Dragon Horse howled like a ghost and cried like a wolf. Though it did not retreat, it kept shouting without restraint.
It was hard to imagine a Dragon Horse making the roars of various beasts. Anyone who didn't know would think a group of ancient beasts were trapped here.
This was a Primordial cave, having existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. Strands and beams of Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light were endless. After going deep, Ye Fan endured the pain of his body being decomposed.
The human body has field energy. Trapped by this Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light, the mutual influence could almost turn a person to ash in an instant.
But Ye Fan withstood it. In these few days, he cultivated the Primordial Magnetic divine technique he had obtained to a terrifying level, advancing by leaps and bounds, nearing great perfection.
"Woof, awooo..." The Dragon Horse bared its teeth and howled incessantly. It had also cultivated to a similar level.
The ancient cave was very deep. At the end where the immortal light filled, there were actually several ancient vines. Their leaves were sparse, but each one was sparkling and translucent, emitting immortal light.
"What the hell, how can there be vegetation in this place? It shouldn't be possible to survive. It smells so good! It actually bears fruit!" the Dragon Horse shouted, opening its mouth and swallowing one.
"Ow, woof..." The next moment, it started kicking its hooves, its whole body spewing Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light, nearly falling apart. Its entire body convulsed.
If it hadn't cultivated the related secret technique, the Dragon Horse would have surely died here.
"So powerful! This is the purest Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light, a kind of primordial force before heaven and earth were separated," the Dragon Horse shouted, pained but excited.
Ye Fan also took a fruit. This was not an Immortal Elixir, but it was an extremely rare strange fruit, with special divine effects. In the end, his whole body trembled as well, receiving a baptism. His body became like a bright mirror or a divine glass mirror, shining brilliantly.
At this point, his Primordial Magnetic divine technique was complete. As long as his realm improved in the future, this secret technique would become more and more terrifying. It could be called an invincible secret method, comparable to the ancient techniques in the forbidden chapters of the Emperor Scriptures.
When the divine technique was complete, the danger of this ancient cave to them immediately decreased. It was hard to harm their bodies anymore. Ten thousand strands of immortal light rushed at them like a gentle breeze brushing their faces.
Ye Fan and the Dragon Horse each ate another Primordial Magnetic strange fruit, but found it was no longer of much use to them. One was enough.
The ancient vine was dazzlingly bright, with eight more fruits remaining. Each one was only the size of a fist, all flowing with light and color, as if carved from ancient heavenly jade.
"Hmm, are you sure you saw him come to this ancient land and enter the Primordial Magnetic Immortal Cave?" At some point, Yan Chifeng had arrived outside the mountain range. Seeing the auspicious glow spurting out and the ten thousand strands of immortal light, he was somewhat surprised.
A person beside him said in an extremely certain tone, "I saw it with my own eyes through the Primordial Heavenly Mirror."
Yan Chifeng frowned and said, "The most mysterious and terrifying place in the Primordial Training Ground is none other than this. Known as the Immortal Cave, from ancient times to the present, very few trial takers have been able to enter."
"Could there be great benefits inside?" another person asked, and the others also showed eager expressions.
"According to legend, there is an ancient vine that fell from another world," Yan Chifeng said, pointing to the high heavens.
"Ah, what are its benefits?" many people were excited.
"This vine bears a kind of fruit. It's not an Immortal Elixir, but it has a strange divine effect. Only those who take it know its wonders," Yan Chifeng said.
"Really? What a pity. Since few have been able to enter since ancient times, our desire is useless."
"Since this person has gone in, he won't come out. Let's send him on his way," Yan Chifeng said coldly, directly offering a magical artifact and blasting it toward the depths of the mountain range.
A blazing light, a huge boom. The magical artifact shattered, but the Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light became even more terrifying, like an ocean bursting its banks.
"That's right, send him on his way!" The others also laughed cruelly.
"Foolishly entering the Primordial Immortal Cave, let's send him to immortality, hey!"
Led by Yan Chifeng, more than ten people attacked this mountain range. Any magical artifact they threw turned to powder. Under the Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light, nothing could be preserved.
