Chapter 587: Immortal Tear Green Gold Book
A piece of tarnished copper, thin as paper, mottled with green patina, densely covered with tiny characters like flyspecks, flowing with a mysterious aura, like the traces of the Dao.
Duan De's eyes immediately snapped open, shooting out two terrifying beams of light. Like a vicious wolf, he pounced forward, trying to snatch this piece of rotten copper.
"Bang!"
Ye Fan and the Barbarian struck out almost simultaneously. At such close range, the three of them collided physically, producing a thunderous boom that shook the Crow's Nest violently.
Duan De grunted, staggering backward. Blood gushed from both his hands, the tiger's mouths of his palms split open, fresh blood flowing freely.
In this world, few could match Ye Fan and the Barbarian in physical prowess. In such a confrontation, even a Divine Dynasty's Imperial Lord would suffer losses.
The fact that Duan De's hands only bled, rather than being crushed into meat paste, was enough to show his strength and terror—his physical body was extremely tough.
"What do you mean by that?" Dongfang Ye glared at Duan De, and at this moment, he handed the rotten copper to Ye Fan.
"I just wanted to take a look." Duan De, ignoring his injuries, was extremely agitated and still pressed forward recklessly.
His eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the rotten copper piece, his gaze deep and profound, as if he wanted to see through the green copper at a glance, almost immersing his mind into it.
Others might not know, but Ye Fan understood what was going on. Back then, in front of the Eastern Wasteland Demon Emperor's tomb, the world's supreme treasure, the green copper block, had appeared, plain and unremarkable. Duan De had missed the chance to obtain it, leaving a lingering regret in his heart.
Now, Fatty Duan was staring at the green copper piece, undoubtedly thinking of many things, so he recklessly tried to snatch it to get a closer look.
At the same time, Ye Fan's heart stirred. Could it be that this piece of rotten copper was somehow related to the green copper block inside his body?
He held it in his hand, examining it carefully, while the Barbarian stood in front with his Wolf Fang Great Club, watching Duan De warily.
"This is..." Ye Fan's expression changed, and he was greatly surprised, frowning as he stared at the dense, tiny characters.
"What did you see? Let me have a look!" Duan De's breathing became rapid.
"What is written on it?" Old Blind Man also came closer, clearly interested, staring at the green copper piece.
Jue Youqing also stepped forward, her beautiful eyes flowing with divine radiance, staring at the ancient copper piece covered in green rust, a look of doubt and confusion on her face.
"I don't recognize a single word." Ye Fan said. The others were waiting for him to continue, but they didn't expect such an answer.
"Let me see." Old Blind Man and Duan De both reached out at the same time, but Dongfang Ye directly swung his club horizontally in front of them, blocking them.
"Unless you are ancient beings, you simply cannot recognize them. These are the most ancient divine script." Ye Fan shook his head.
Now, he was certain that this copper piece had no connection to the green copper inside his body, because there was no unusual fluctuation between them.
Moreover, he felt a fiery heat on this green copper, a mysterious Dao resonance, completely different from the green copper inside him.
"This is..." At this point, Dongfang Ye no longer blocked them. The group gathered to look at the copper piece together, all exchanging bewildered glances.
This was ancient divine script, a common language used by the ten thousand ancient clans of the past. Legend said it was created by ancient deities, the most ancient of all, used by all races.
Duan De finally had the chance to touch the copper piece, muttering, "It's not the green copper..."
He was somewhat distracted, then became indignant and sorrowful, saying, "Once, the world's supreme treasure was placed before me, and I... damn it... sigh!"
"This fatty is possessed!" The Barbarian curled his lips.
Ye Fan silently cursed. This damn fatty was still fixated on it. It seemed that missing out on the green copper block back then had really traumatized him.
At this moment, Old Blind Man's eyes were wide open. Duan De had stopped trying to snatch it, but he was now thinking of making a move. Ye Fan warily stepped back, not letting him see.
"I just want one look, I'm not going to snatch it. By the way, why do you look so familiar? Are you one of my customers? I sold you an Immortal Burial Map."
Ye Fan rolled his eyes, saying, "You old swindler, you said it was a unique copy, but you ended up printing over a thousand. How many people did you cheat?"
"Who cheated anyone? It's the real deal, or else how could you have found this place?" Old Blind Man grumbled, looking like he was no fraudster.
Everyone was speechless. The Immortal Burial Maps on the market were all sold by him. It could be said that everyone here, except for a few major powers, were his customers.
Jue Youqing suddenly spoke, "Things from the ancient era, preserved until now without decaying, must be inscribed with supreme runes. Otherwise, even the most magnificent treasures would have turned to dust."
"This is Immortal Tear Green Gold!" Duan De finally came to his senses, reaching out his fat hands to snatch it again, and Old Blind Man was no exception.
Ye Fan was speechless. These two were on par with Black Emperor, wanting to hoard any treasure they saw.
"This really is a piece of Immortal Tear Green Gold, the same divine material used by the Western Empress to forge her Immortal Tear Tower, and it's inscribed with supreme divine patterns!"
They finally confirmed that this rotten copper was extraordinary, not as worthless as it appeared.
"Damn it, what a spendthrift, such a waste! Using Immortal Tear Green Gold to cast a single page of a book—how can he face others? Even a Great Emperor might not be able to gather enough sacred materials to forge his own Extreme Dao Sacred Weapon!" Duan De exclaimed.
"Too extravagant. This is the legendary Immortal Tear Green Gold. In the present age, only the Jade Pool has a piece, forged into the Western Emperor Tower. No other piece can be found." Old Blind Man also lamented.
However, even as they said this, they kept moving forward, silently memorizing the divine script on this page.
Now, there was no need to think twice. Anyone would know that using Immortal Tear Green Gold as paper to record these words meant they were priceless. These characters were definitely extraordinary!
"Ouch!"
"Damn it!"
Duan De and Old Blind Man both cursed, feeling a sharp pain in their heads as they staggered back, their faces filled with shock.
"This Immortal Tear Green Gold page indeed has supreme divine patterns. It's very difficult to memorize these ancient characters with divine thought." The two said this.
Ye Fan stared for a long time but couldn't recognize a single word. Even though he knew this was a page of immortal treasure, he couldn't read it and was helpless.
"In the Western Desert, on Mount Sumeru, there are those who recognize ancient divine script." Jue Youqing spoke, her voice calm and slightly magnetic, very pleasant to hear.
Mount Sumeru, transcendent and aloof from the world, was extremely mysterious. Many believed that a living ancient Buddha might still reside there, and no one dared to intrude.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Mount Sumeru to seek guidance." Ye Fan said. But for now, he couldn't go even if it killed him.
Even Shakyamuni had withdrawn from the Western Desert, becoming a taboo figure. Ye Fan also came from the other side of the starry sky. If the people of Mount Sumeru discovered him, who knew what would happen.
"We'll kidnap an ancient creature later and make him read it out loud." Dongfang Ye said, very bold, treating the powerful ancient races like chickens and ducks.
Ye Fan felt that this green copper was too precious and felt embarrassed to accept it, saying, "This is too valuable."
"An ancient sage dissolved into the Dao, leaving behind only a single sacred bone, tempered a thousand times without being destroyed. It can be said to contain all the mysteries of his life, a peerless divine object. You didn't hesitate and handed it directly to me. You should also keep this green copper piece." Dongfang Ye said.
In the end, the two each put away their treasures, both satisfied and inwardly excited.
"This Wolf Fang Great Club will eventually be restored to a sage's weapon, and it will definitely be super powerful, after all, it has fused all the essence of a sage!" Duan De muttered.
"This Immortal Tear Green Gold page is full of uncertainties, but maybe one day we can translate an immortal scripture from it!" Old Blind Man muttered, holding the divine egg.
The five left the Crow's Nest, afraid of encountering an adult Golden Crow, and slipped away, appearing in another mountain range.
"Another puddle... it's Divine Source Liquid!" Duan De exclaimed, pouncing down. This damn fatty was indeed very lucky.
This time, he found a puddle about a foot square, also formed from Divine Source Liquid, shining with divine brilliance, making the surrounding ancient trees look as green as jade.
"So much Divine Source Liquid, enough to coat the surface of my body. I think it could seal me up for eight or ten thousand years. If I sold it to those Holy Lands, I could definitely exchange it for a King-level divine weapon!"
Old Blind Man was envious, saying, "Don't you know tombology? Hurry up and find where that deity is buried, and dig out that coffin early. Otherwise, if those Imperial Lords and Demon Lords get there first again, we'll get nothing."
Duan De calmed down, staring at this small world, lost in thought, saying, "I feel like every place is suitable for burial. It really lives up to its name as an Immortal Burial Ground."
This small world wasn't large, but digging through every mountain would be exhausting.
Ye Fan stepped forward, using his Source Heaven Divine Art to observe the terrain, seek dragon veins, lock onto the universe, and divine the heavenly secrets, trying to find the Immortal Burial Ground.
"This world within a world is even more mysterious than the Reclining Immortal Diagram outside!" He frowned, staring at a mountain ridge among the peaks, saying, "Look, doesn't that look like a diagram of an immortal lying dead?"
Everyone looked, and the more they observed, the more it seemed so. The lush shrubs, the cascading spirit waterfalls, seemed like spilled blood, an immortal lying dead, fallen among the mountains.
"It must be buried there!"
Ye Fan provided a diagram of the earth's grand momentum, and Duan De quickly made a deduction. Next, it was up to him to find the burial chamber.
The five were excited. They summoned a Star River, turning it into a waterfall, leaping over the mountains, and appearing before this strange mountain ridge, stopping in their tracks.
"It looks like a heavenly scar embedded here!" Old Blind Man gasped.
The shape of this mountain range was very strange, like an immortal lying dead, but it flowed with the aura of the Heavenly Dao. As soon as they approached, it seemed as if they could hear someone chanting an ancient scripture.
The grand and mysterious sounds of the Dao seemed to fall from the nine heavens, constantly drilling into their ears, but no one could make out a single word, making them very restless.
"Truly a mysterious and unfathomable place." Jue Youqing spoke, the Bodhi branch in her hand flowing with green mist.
"While those Imperial Lords, Demon Lords, and Divine Monks are still searching elsewhere, let's hurry in and get the Immortal Burial treasure." Dongfang Ye urged.
Duan De circled the mountain ridge, then climbed a withered cliff, saying, "This mountain cannot be attacked head-on, or we will surely face deadly disaster. We'll enter from here."
On the withered cliff was an ancient cave, which was the mouth of the fallen immortal, leading deep into the earth's veins.
As soon as they entered the ancient cave, everyone's expression changed. Their divine power was severely suppressed, and an overwhelming pressure came from deep within the earth's veins, almost forcing them to their knees.
"This aura is comparable to that of an ancient Great Emperor, similar to a revived Extreme Dao Sacred Weapon!"
Ye Fan had experienced the great battle in the Northern Domain's Divine City, where someone had tried to kill Divine King Jiang, even borrowing an Extreme Dao Sacred Weapon. He had personally felt the revival of two Extreme Dao weapons, which had nearly destroyed everything for tens of thousands of miles.
"There must be the corpse of an ancient deity!" Fatty Duan, an authority on tombology, made this judgment.
"A deity... all signs point to its possible existence in the world, and we are about to see it!" Old Blind Man muttered.
The divine thought had already appeared. If there was no deity buried here, it would be inexplicable. Everyone was excited, perhaps they were about to witness a divine miracle!
