Chapter 112: Mysterious Realm (2/2)

“I’ve lived here before, senior brother please enlighten me about what happened, why have these limestone steps all shattered?” Ye Fan really wanted to know, the ancient scriptures within his mind no longer resounded and the artifact beneath had clearly disappeared.

The disciple looked left and right, noticing that no one was around, he whispered in a low voice: “This may be shocking to know but there was actually a Yin vein beneath the ground that was connected to the Yin tomb of the demonic emperor, it had finally escaped from this area and delved into the depths of the Eastern Badlands.”

Ye Fan was shocked, he had never imagined such a causality and instantly thought of the Desolate Pagoda which was known as a peerless existence.

“Back then, when we first came to this area, the ancient scripture resounded naturally, was it related to the Desolate Pagoda?” Ye Fan was befuddled, the ancient scripture came from the other side of the stars and was obtained from within the ancient bronze coffin, he could not understand why an artifact of this world would affect it.

Within the Ling Xu Immortal Sanctuary contained azure mountains and green valleys, simply breathtaking. The palace halls were interspersed with balconies as decorations. Mist bubbled forth, letting one experience an emptiness within this area.

Seeing elder Wu Qing Feng again, Ye Fan felt a sense of closeness, he gave a big bow to pay his respects, this old man had watched over him and was an elder who deserved respect.

“Child, it’s actually you.” Elder Wu Qing Feng was extremely agitated, he had not changed much, his hair was white, figure was slender and carried an otherworldly air about him.

Looking at Ye Fan, he naturally thought of Pang Bo and could not help but sigh. Pang Bo had already been accepted as his disciple but was abducted by the demonic race and had disappeared within the primitive ruins.

This was a peaceful valley with a pristine lake not far away, it’s colour was of sapphire as it sparkled under the light. Just ahead was a thatched cottage with four to five rows of bamboo forest in a large expanse, giving one a secluded and peaceful feel.

Seated on a stone chair within the bamboo forest, Ye Fan picked up a tea cup as he gently sipped while talking to the elder.

Hearing that Ye Fan wanted to understand the other mystical realms, elder Wu Qing Feng looked at him with a puzzled expression: “Child, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Have you forgotten what I’ve said to you? If a person is able to cultivate to the end of a single mystical realm he can be considered exceptional, cultivating the Wheel of Life and Sea of Bitterness to the extreme, one can also be considered a peerless expert.”

“Why would those ancient aristocratic families and Sacred Grounds cultivate the other mystical realms as well?”

“We can’t compare ourselves to them, they have ancient scriptures which can be considered celestial compendiums, this is an absolute advantage.” Elder Wu Qing Feng sighed as he shook his head: “Actually, cultivating a single mystical realm would be sufficient, it’s rumoured that in ancient times, many people only cultivated a single mystical realm.”

Ye Fan had a contemplative expression as he looked down, after a while, he finally lifted his head as he came to a decision, he would not merely cultivate a single mystical realm, since there were other mystical realms, there was certainly a reason to go on cultivating them.

Elder Wu Qing Feng was also confused, he felt that although Ye Fan could barely cultivate with his Primordial Ancient Divine Body, his progress would not be too fantastic, however, the elder was kind and patiently answered many of his queries.

Ye Fan finally obtained the name of the next mystical realm: Dao Temple. After the Wheel and Sea mystical realm, one needed to overcome the Sea of Bitterness, reaching the Other Shore before slowly feeling for it.

It was rumoured that the Dao Temple had five Divine Aspects, when cultivating this mystical realm one would experience various profound and mystical events.

Ye Fan currently had the cultivation method for the Wheel and Sea, the golden book was only a single page within the Dao Scripture and did not contain the technique for cultivating the mystical realm of the Dao Temple.

“If I wanted to obtain the most profound techniques, I would have to go to a Sacred Ground or an ancient aristocratic family to attain the mystical ancient scriptures that they had.” Ye Fan muttered in his heart.

“Elder, of the Sacred Grounds and ancient aristocratic families, which family has the most profound ancient scripture?” Ye Fan questioned.

Elder Wu Qing Feng shook his head: “The ancient aristocratic families and Sacred Grounds are too profound and powerful, they are not something that we can understand. Which ancient scripture each of them has is difficult to determine.”

Ye Fan really wanted to know which ancient scripture was the strongest and muttered to himself: “They may each have their strengths.”

“That’s right, that is indeed the case.” Elder Wu Qing Feng seemed to recall something as he continued: “It’s rumoured that for the Wheel and Sea mystical realm, the Dao Scripture is the best cultivation method. As for the Dao Temple mystical realm, the ancient scripture of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground should be the strongest. Each ancient scripture has a portion which has the most optimal cultivation method.”

Ye Fan immediately made a decision to go to the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, learning the cultivation method for the Dao Temple realm.

“Does the Jade Lake Sacred Ground accept male disciples?”

“They have never done so.” Elder Wu Qing Feng looked at him with confusion: “You can’t possibly be……”

“Do the female disciples of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground marry?” Ye Fan asked indifferently.

”

Elder Wu Qing Feng laughed: “They can marry but the conditions are extremely stringent, I’m afraid you won’t have the fortune to do so.”

Ye Fan did not feel embarrassed as he laughed and continued to question, although elder Wu Qing Feng had some qualms, he did not voice them but rather patiently explained.

The Jade Lake Sacred Ground was extremely distant from the Yan State, they were the most low-key and mysterious of all the Sacred Grounds and ancient aristocratic families.

At the same time, Ye Fan inadvertently found out that one of the seven great forbidden areas “Genesis Ancient Mine” was located within the area where the Jade Lake Sacred Ground was situated.

This definition of the same region was due to the vastness of the Eastern Badlands, in actuality, the two were separated by ten thousand miles.

The Jiang Family was also located in that region and was roughly thirty thousand miles from that forbidden area. The Eastern Badlands was simply too vast and places that were in the same area could be separated by tens of thousands of miles.

“Genesis Ancient Mine……”

This was the first time that Ye Fan had heard of this forbidden area, as one of the seven great forbidden areas, it would definitely have an exceptional background.

“The region has plentiful amounts of ‘source’, this is the inextricable reason why the Jiang Family and the Jade lake Sacred Ground chose that region to develop in.”

Ye Fan felt that this was an even greater reason to head there, the ‘source’ was an extremely important item for him, if he was unable to obtain divine medicine, looking for ‘source’ was also a good solution.

“Genesis Ancient Mine is……” He was puzzled as he asked.

“With genesis in it’s name, it shows that it is extremely old and it is impossible to estimate how long it has existed.” Elder Wu Qing Feng sipped his tea before continuing: “It’s rumoured that endless years ago, the Genesis Ancient Mine was the most famous ‘source’ mine within the Eastern Badlands, a ominous object was then dug out causing it to become one of the seven great forbidden areas.”

Ye Fan was extremely puzzled and curious as he asked: “Exactly what was dug out?”

“They actually dug out a peerless divine source, it’s rumoured that an exceptionally strong creature was sealed within and when it was finally revived, it actually killed everyone.”

“What?!” Ye Fan felt stunned.

“It’s rumoured that there are actually people sealed within some divine sources.”

Hearing these words, Ye Fan felt extremely shocked, he felt that the region he was planning to go to was simply too mysterious, the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, Jiang Family and Genesis Ancient Mine held exceptional meaning for him.
