Chapter 148: Pierce Through the Heavens

The bronze immortal palace was the greatest puzzle in all the history of the Eastern Badlands, it was rumoured that an immortal had forged it but this was simply impossible to prove. It had appeared once in the ancient past but no one knew where it came from.

Ye Fan had decided to let this big secret out in order to create a chance to leave this area.

He could estimate that once this rumour was spread, it would certainly create reverberations in all directions, shaking up the entire land. He could no longer be bothered about this.

Ji Ziyue’s eyes were wide open as she attempted to stop him but it was already too late, he simply ignored her transmissions as he continued to speak.

“Little brat, what are you up to? Once the information spreads, you should know the outcome, didn’t we agree to keep the information under wraps?”

Ji Ziyue was vexed, seeing how Ye Fan ignored her, her fists clenched, she really felt like giving him a good beating.

Ye Fan was very detailed, to the extent of pointing out the location, telling them that it was not far from the Tai Xuan sect and that they could head there to verify it at any time. He had no other options, in order to run for his life, he could only temporarily ignore Ji Ziyue.

“Is there really something like that?” The sacred lady of the Twinkling Brilliance was astonished as she stood up, her jade body glowing, encased in a gentle light like that of a fairy immortal.

“You’re certain?!” Hua Yunfei could no longer maintain his calm as he stood up, staring at Ye Fan.

“Ziyue, was there really such an event?” Ji Haoyue looked towards his sister, he knew that the two had always been together.

The group did not entirely believe in Ye Fan’s words as they looked towards Ji Ziyue, at this point, she could not hide it any longer as she nodded.

“Such an important matter, why didn’t you say it sooner?” Ji Haoyue reprimanded.

“It isn’t anything good, each time the bronze immortal palace appears, so many people die. I wanted to prevent the carnage by hiding it.” Ji Ziyue muttered.

“I forgot to tell all of you, that place is filled with profound earth, thick like clouds and heavy like mountains……” Ye Fan was extremely detailed as he threw out another juicy piece of information.

“What?! That place actually has origin qi of all living things?!”

“That is a divine object for forging artifacts!”

Everyone was astonished as their eyes lit up.

The ‘profound’ referred to the essence of the heavens, the ‘yellow’ meant the marrow of the earth. This meant that the profound earth represents the heaven and the earth.

T/L*: The profound earth in chinese has the literal translation of profound/black and yellow.

“Are you sure?” Hua Yunfei could not remain calm as he moved closer, staring at Ye Fan as he earnestly questioned.

“Of course, I saw it myself.” Ye Fan answered succinctly.

“Where is that lake located?” The eyes of the sacred lady of the Twinkling Brilliance were flashing.

The others began to gather around him.

Since the beginning of the world, the overflow of essence was known as the profound earth, the amount of it was frighteningly pitiful, it could almost be considered to be completely dried up, it was the favourite of peerless experts, a treasure for forging artifacts.

Although the information regarding the Bronze Immortal Palace was rather shocking, it was also too far for them to reach and they could only report this to their elders, becoming a deity that was simply too far out of their reach.

However, the origin qi of all living things was different, it was a priceless treasure that could be used to forge sacred objects, if one was able to obtain it, they could use it for their own benefit.

The fire was lit in everyone’s eyes as they thought of the possibility of forging a top grade weapon.

“What are you up to? You evil person, you’re going to be the death of us!” Ji Ziyue was extremely astute and had noticed that something was amiss as she transmitted to Ye Fan: “You know that the origin qi of all living things has already retreated back into the Bronze Immortal Palace, why did you still bring it up?”

Ji Ziyue had been unsuccessful in requesting for the essence of the origin qi of all living things from Ye Fan several times. She went several times to the lake to gather the profound earth, although she had gained plenty, but due to the sinking of the profound earth, it had finally descended into the bronze palace, thereafter it could no longer be acquired again.

These people began to retreat individually, prepared to report this matter to their elders, this information was simply too important.

Even Ji Haoyue, the sacred lady of the Twinkling Brilliance and Hua Yunfei did not have a choice as they hurriedly left.

Lights seemed to shine from Ji Ziyue’s large eyes, she was like an agile sprite as she scrunched her nose while huffily grabbing onto Ye Fan: “What are you planning to do?”

“Don’t be angry, you’ll get wrinkles.” Ye Fan smiled as he pinched her nose.

“Little kid, your courage has grown a lot.” Ji Ziyue’s teeth could be seen as she prepared herself to teach Ye Fan a lesson.

“Swiftly take out your treasure to absorb the essence of the origin qi of all living things.” Ye Fan whispered.

“What?!” Ji Ziyue was shocked as lights shone from her large eyes.

She had already gathered the origin qi of all living things from the lake but it paled in comparison to the essence of it, only the ‘source root’ of the origin qi of all living things could forge mystical weapons.

She had previously tried every method within her disposal but failed to persuade Ye Fan to hand the ‘source root’ over to her, it was inconceivable that he would suddenly offer it to her.

Ye Fan felt that Ji Ziyue was mischievous but she did not harbour any ill intentions, she had been protecting him this entire time and he was feeling guilty that he would be leaving soon, thus deciding to pass the treasured origin qi of all living things to her as a parting gift.

Although he was unable to control the origin qi of all living things, only being able to only cause a small portion of it to appear, this was more than sufficient for the precious treasure on Ji Ziyue.

“Eh, it’s really the essence!” Ji Ziyue received the ‘source root’ of the origin qi of all living things as her large eyes became crescent moons, little dimples appeared on her face and she appeared like a sprite, prancing and skipping about.
