Chapter 105: Smacking the face of a Cultivator of the Spiritual Bridge Realm
Six thousand years ago, a certain immortal sect sacred ground was at the peak of its power, it had gathered its full force and over tens of thousands of expert cultivators had attacked, waiting to conquer the abyss within the forbidden area. The result was that almost all of them were wiped out, increasing the notoriety of this place.
“Those white skeletons don’t have any fluctuations of life, how are they able to climb out of the abyss?” While feeling shocked, everyone also felt perplexed.
Nine sacred mountains, towering and majestic, their aura vast, endless numbers of white skeletons were struggling to climb out of the abyss, there was an area where the largest number of white skeletons were gathered, over a thousand of them and had formed a small mountain of bones.
The large bronze coffin!
Two rays of light seemed to shine from Ye Fan’s eyes as he saw a corner of the bronze coffin, it had not been completely covered by the thousand skeletons and made a strange feeling well up within his heart, all the events that were currently occurring must be related to the nine dragons and the coffin.
Elder Jiang Han Zhong of the Jiang Family also noticed the ancient bronze coffin as his expression hardened: “An unknown change has occurred within the forbidden area, several thousand white skeletons struggling to climb out of the abyss. Could all this be related to that bronze coffin? Where did it come from and why did it appear here?”
The oldest horsemen of the Twinkling Brilliance Sacred Ground also frowned as he muttered: “According to legend, there is an artifact buried within the endless depths of the abyss, back then the immortal sect sacred ground which was at the peak of its power ventured into the depths to attempt to attain it, could it have been this bronze coffin?”
“The Forbidden Ancient Desolate Land is one of the seven areas where life is forbidden, since ancient times no one has been able to conquer it, no cultivator has ever been able to truly enter into the depths of the abyss and the item within the abyss definitely has a phenomenal story behind it.” Elder Ji Yun Feng of the Ji Family squinted as he continued to measure the large bronze coffin.
All the people began to feel a headache, they had encountered a skeleton not long ago which had caused over ten cultivators to be killed, there were currently tens of thousands of densely packed skeletons surrounding the nine sacred mountains, how were they going to pick the divine medicine?
“Which sacred mountain have you people scaled before?” Jiang Han Zhong questioned Zhou Yi, Lin Jia and the others.
Zhou Yi was dressed in white, his hair was draped along his shoulders and his aura was steady and cultured as he replied with an unhurried smile: “The sacred mountain with the ancient coffin above it.”
Jiang Han Zhong nodded his head as he addressed everyone:” That sacred mountain has the most skeletons, moreover the divine medicine has been picked before, we should avoid that mountain and ascend another sacred mountain instead.”
By the side, some horsemen sighed as they softly discussed: “There are so many skeletons around the mountains, how are we going to scale them? There would only be death without any chance for survival, if we wish to scale these mountains, only death would await us.”
Elder Xu Dao Ling of the Twinkling Brilliance Sacred Ground then spoke up: “We will eventually be able to think of a plan, let’s go nearer and take a look first.”
Not long after, the group came to the foot of the nine sacred mountains as they carefully inspected. The sacred mountain was covered in dense and lush vegetation, the scenery was beautiful and there seemed to be a vigorous and imposing pressure, it could be said to be majestic.
“Should our families split up or stick together and scale a single sacred mountain?” Elder Ji Yun Feng of the Ji Family said in a nonchalant manner.
Elder Jiang Han Zhong of the Jiang Family stepped forward as he replied: “Brother Xu, you don’t have to continue being secretive, that little horseman has eaten the divine medicine from this forbidden area and should have the ability to defend against the power of the curse. We should stick together and assist him in scaling a sacred mountain, allowing him to pick the divine medicine to share amongst our three families.”
Elder Xu Dao Ling of the Twinkling Brilliance Sacred Ground realised that the information had been spilt and immediately hollered for Ye Fan. Ye Fan took off the helmet covering his face and when his delicate face was exposed, Liu Yi YI, Zhang Zi Jun, Wang Zi Wen and the others who were not far away had shocked expressions on their faces.
“Let’s think this over clearly and see if there are any better methods to go about picking the divine medicine.” The few elder horsemen gathered together as they began to discuss.
Ye Fan and the others were given the cold shoulder as no one bothered with them.
“Ye Fan……” Liu Yi Yi was the first to run forward, they had not seen each other in three years and she had not changed much, she was still as gentle as the past and her large eyes were filled with shock as she softly spoke: “This area is very dangerous, why have you come?”
Zhang Zi Jun also swiftly came forward as he grabbed Ye Fan’s shoulder in agitation as he shook them: “Where have you been these two years? I had previously gone with the elders in my sect to visit the Ling Xu immortal sanctuary hoping to find you and Pang Bo, who knew that the two of you had already gone missing.”
“It’s a long story…….” Ye Fan had experienced many matters but could not voice them out, otherwise, he would bring trouble to the rest of them.
Lin Jia was exceptionally pretty, she was born with double eyelids and under these life threatening circumstances, although she found it difficult to smile, she still seemed charming, a totally natural disposition. She had spotted Ye Fan not long ago but did not point it out, at this moment her jade-like hand was softly patting Ye Fan’s head as she spoke: “You’ve finally grown taller.”
Wang Zi Wen also walked forward as he spoke up: “Who knew that we would meet again in this area, I really don’t know if we should consider this a blessing or misfortune.”
Zhou Yi frowned as he muttered: “I’m afraid that the few of us will be hard pressed to live, we have to find a way to preserve our own lives, these people clearly don’t care about us living or dying.”
Li Xiao Man was dressed in white, graceful and lithe, her expression was indifferent as she nodded towards Ye Fan without speaking a word.
At this moment, the people who were engaged in discussion up ahead were finished and looked over as Jiang Han Zhong pointed towards Wang Zi Wen: “Come over here.”
“I wonder what instructions does elder have?” Wang Zi Wen immediately went over, appearing extremely cultured and refined.
“Go up the mountain immediately and find all ways and means to pick the divine medicine. If you are successful, I will accept you as a disciple, allowing you to become an official disciple of an ancient aristocratic family.”
Hearing elder Jiang Han Zhong’s words, the expression on Wang Zi Wen’s face immediately changed, he was clearly being used as cannon fodder and they were using him to feel things out.
“My abilities are limited, I’m afraid that I’ll be drowned by those skeletons and become dust even before reaching the peak of the mountain.” Wang Zi Wen seemed gentle but he was not a weak person, his eyes were bright as he looked at the elder of the Jiang Family and continued: “I hope that elder can give this one a chance.”
“If he requests for you to climb, you should climb, why are you speaking so much rubbish!” A horseman by the side was unhappy as he shouted.
“In that case, just kill me. I won’t acquiesce even in death!” Wang Zi Wen spoke firmly.
“Then I’ll just kill you!” A horseman drew a sharp sword which flashed with a cold light.
