Chapter 630: A Thousand Years
The Qinling Mountains contain two treasured lands. One is the Immortal Transformation Pool, and the other is the Eternal Dragon Lair. There are rumors in the world that obtaining either one would allow one to attain the Dao.
There is no need to speak of the Immortal Transformation Pool. Even the Green Emperor was born within it. How many such astonishing figures have there been from ancient times to the present? That alone explains everything.
As for the Qinling Dragon Lair, it is almost the most powerful dragon lair in the Central Province. Otherwise, how could ancient imperial lords and others have competed to be buried there? It is precisely because of the legend that one can become a corpse-immortal here that so many ancient tombs lie underground.
Everything stems from that Eternal Dragon Lair. Everyone wanted to be buried inside, hoping that one day they could become a corpse immortal, enduring in the mortal world, eternal and undying.
The third-generation Origin Heavenly Master, with his source arts that seized the creation of heaven and earth, calculated everything. No one in ancient or modern times could locate the Qinling Dragon Lair, but he fixed its position and was buried within.
So many years have passed, a full seventy thousand years. Even if a single blade of grass were placed inside, it would have long since become spiritual, let alone a strange corpse.
The sick old man speculated that this Origin Heavenly Master's remains had been breathing in moonlight, inhaling the ancestral qi of the Qinling Mountains, nourished by the dragon lair, and had long since become flesh of longevity, containing the essence of life extension.
"Where there is light, there is darkness. Where there is yang, there is yin. Where there is life, there is death. It is clearly an ancient strange corpse, yet it has been steeped by the sun, moon, and dragon lair, gaining the secret of immortality."
The ancient sages had already thought that the third-generation Origin Heavenly Master had formed a divine pill within his body, just like a trace of yang embraced within the supreme yin. It breathed in the essence of the sun and the radiance of the moon, condensing a yang pill.
Cultivated over seventy thousand years, who knows how powerful its divine effects are? Some ancient sages speculated that it should be a mortal-world immortal pill, easily absorbed by the human body.
This is an extremely rare, incalculable immortal medicine, with no value that can be assigned. Bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh from white bones is the least of it. Its greater wonder is that it holds the opportunity to attain the Dao.
After Ye Fan understood all this, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. The humanoid red-furred creature had originally disgusted him, representing ill omen, but now it seemed to contain a supreme immortal treasure.
"The Eternal Dragon Lair of the Qinling Mountains truly lives up to its reputation, comparable to the Immortal Transformation Pool. Both have extraordinary treasures. Obtaining either one allows one to attain the Dao. It seems this is no empty talk."
His heart stirred. Rather than searching for the Immortal Transformation Pool, it would be better to start with the ancient tomb. He had inherited the Origin Heavenly Master's legacy and had a strong advantage in this area.
In particular, the burial site of the third-generation Origin Heavenly Master would definitely follow the methods of observing terrain from the Origin Heaven Scroll. If he reasoned it out in detail, he would surely find clues.
The sick old man said, "The Qinling Mountains conceal an Eternal Great Dragon, so naturally there is also a dreamlike divine marrow. It is either in the Immortal Transformation Pool or in the dragon lair!"
This was another startling piece of news. The precious marrow born from the Eternal Great Dragon would certainly be extraordinary.
Another man swept his gaze over them contemptuously and said, "Exposing each other's weaknesses like this is meaningless. If we really fought, how many of you would survive?"
"Holy Son of Yin Yang, you should be careful with your words. The lesson of the one who came before you is not far off. You should learn from it."
The Holy Son of Yin Yang sneered, "Are you talking about that Sacred Body? He has been hiding for over two years and doesn't dare to come out now. It's a pity that so many experts from my sect want to take his life but don't know where he is."
They did not make a move, only because Ji Haoyue and his sister were also present, standing on Pang Bo's other side. Even Wang Chong was very wary.
"The Yin Yang Sect has chosen a new Holy Son again. Don't you find it annoying? I think there is no need for you to exist at all!" Ye Fan said with a smile, walking over from afar step by step.
