Chapter 604 - The Seven Forbidden Lands (1/2)
It was the Russian General, Oleg.
The white-haired man was wearing an old military uniform, standing upright like a sword. As the guardian of Russia, virtually nothing could faze him, but he was looking very serious at the moment.
Oleg bowed and said respectfully, “Mr. Beixuan, according to the KGB and the Blood Wolf Guards, it seems that the Dark Duke is trying to wake the Blood Ancestor.”
Chen Fan was as mighty as a superpower; even Oleg had to act politely.
Oleg thought that Chen Fan’s skin was getting fairer and his eyes brighter. He had a brawny figure and long black hair, as if G.o.d had come to Earth.
“You’re getting close to achieving the level of an Earth Level Deity.”
Oleg was in awe.
Earth Level Deities were only a myth, like the Blood Ancestor and the Saints. If Chen Fan could attain that level, even the United States would be frightened.
“Are you sure the Blood Ancestor is still alive?” Chen Fan said calmly.
Before that day, the thought of the Blood Ancestor still brought dread to Chen Fan’s mind. But he didn’t take the Blood Ancestor seriously anymore, since he had the Mercury Armor and the G.o.d-killing Spear; he had also finished absorbing the energy from a dozen Divine Crystals.
“I’m not sure about it. The last time the Blood Ancestor appeared was more than a century ago and he vanished after leaving a Kindred. He has lived so long he might even die in his sleep.”
Oleg shook his head.
Even though he was a descendant of the Dark Wolves, he knew that those Dark Races were long-lived species. The Blood Ancestor was of pure blood so he surely had a much longer life when compared to humans and Earth Level Deities. And yet, even a Golden Core cultivator couldn’t live a thousand years and no one could guarantee if the Blood Ancestor would reach the limit of his life during his sleep.
“It’s all right. If he has the guts to come, I’ll behead him and extract his blood to create elixirs!”
Chen Fan snorted.
Each pure-blooded member of the Dark Races had a body full of treasures; they were like a living elixir to cultivators.
Oleg s.h.i.+vered.
It would be horrible to turn the Blood Ancestor into medical materials! How vicious!
Oleg said quickly, “Sir, the Blood Ancestor is probably sleeping in the Blood Sea of Ancient Romania. The Dark Duke has been wandering around that area. Should we go and check it out?”
“The Blood Sea? Where is it?”
Chen Fan frowned.
“The Blood Sea is located Deep in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains. It is said to have been the capital of a kingdom once, but it turned into a scarlet ocean in the end. It is extremely dangerous and whoever enters dies,” Oleg explained.
The Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun? The Dragon Lake in Chang Bai Mountain? The Devil’s Cave of Babylon?
Those names caught Chen Fan’s attention.
Li Changsheng once told him that the Gate of Heaven could be found in several locations like deep in Kunlun and the Eastern Sea. Would there be anything special about these places? Was the Gate of Heaven found in one of those places? Or could there be remnants of the ancient Immortal Cultivators?
Chen Fan immediately became interested.
He had reached the peak level of Qi Refinement and the Divine Crystals would run out soon. By then, he would need other resources to reach the Connate level. Those places were called Forbidden Lands so there had to be something useful.
Oleg saw Chen Fan’s look and said quickly, “Sir, these places are illusory and extremely dangerous. Rumor has it that some Earth Level Deities and Saints died there.
“For example, the Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun used to have another name, but after someone heard that a Chinese Earth Level Deity died there, people started calling it the Deity Burial Valley. And the Devil’s Cave of Babylon has been on Earth for six thousand years and is
full of unpredictable dangers. The British Empire once sent a troop inside the cave and none of them came out. In the end, the British army blew up the entrance. Also…”
Oleg paused.
“What?” Chen Fan looked up.
“Phew!”
Oleg took a deep breath and said seriously, “During the decades when the Soviet Union fought against the United States, we found some trails and sacrificed our best spies to find some clues. The United States might have excavated the Mayan Temples of the Seven Forbidden Lands and found some technology that surpa.s.ses our modern times, making them the dominators of Earth. However, they also had to pay a price, or they wouldn’t end up in a deadlock with us for decades.”
“Of course, it’s only speculation. We don’t have any proof.” Oleg shook his head.
The story of the Mayan Ruins had been circulating on Earth.
In the ancient legends, the Mayan civilization had once thrived in America. They had technology so advanced that it was beyond what modern civilizations had achieved, but they were suddenly exterminated without a reason. They only left a prophecy behind:
The year 2012 would be the end of the world.
Human civilization would be terminated on the day the Fifth Age of the Sun ended.
But the prophecy was only a myth and had never been confirmed. However, Chen Fan knew that there were Deities, Earth Level Deities, the Blood Ancestor and Saints on Earth, so why couldn’t there be a superhuman civilization like that?
“The Mayan Temples? Technology superior to the one found in modern times?”
