Shrouding the Heavens Chapter 70 Leave

Chapter 70 Leave

The shameless Daoist repeatedly sighed, saying, “Now there’s definitely no way to enter into the Yin Grave…dammit!” He had always kept that green copper foremost in his mind, but now that he had lost his chance to obtain it, he became extremely regretful and annoyed.

The cold pool’s interior killing trap had already been initialized, but the people outside the pool would not be in any danger.

Just at that moment, five dazzling rays of light quickly charged over. The five elite figures had all been disturbed by what was happening, hurrying over as soon as they could. Their powerful might suppressed the mountain as they floated in midair like gods.

Ye Fan wanted to take a look at them, but he found that their dazzling divine splendor was impossible for him to see through. All he could see were balls of bright light.

“The Demon Emperor’s Yin Grave!” One of them sucked in a breath of cold air. His eyes were lit like lanterns, and just a glance was enough for him to understand what was at the bottom of the cold pool.

“The volcano as the Yang Tomb, the deep dark pool as the Yin Grave. One Yang, one Yin, containing the Taiji, seizing the luck of heaven and earth, allowing countless changes and variations!” another one of them also sighed. “As expected, the Demon Emperor’s tomb truly is extraordinary. If it wasn’t for an accident, we never would have found it. He unexpectedly arranged a Yang and Yin burial site.”

“This is troublesome. Now that the Yin Grave’s sure-kill trap has been activated, it will be very difficult to enter!”

“There’s been no trace of the Eastern Wastelands human race’s most precious treasure. Most likely, the Desolate Pagoda is within the Yin Grave!”

The five of them were all excited, but weren’t able to think of any methods immediately. They didn’t dare easily enter into the Demon Emperor’s Yin Grave.

“There are some ways. After this many years have passed, even a perfect arrangement will start to have trace errors. We can carefully infiltrate and explore it before deciding!

“Ok!”

At this moment, the five lights descended, and one of them enveloped the shameless Daoist.

“Just now I heard someone say that even if they were to meet a Sacred Land’s disciple they would still slap them to death. I thought that such a person would be extraordinary. Looks like the mechanism was triggered by you, so you should come down with us.”

The shameless Daoist face immediately turned green as he desperately said, “Please seniors, I was just babbling. Don’t stoop to my level. With the Yin Grave’s sure-kill mechanism activated, I will definitely die if I go down there with my cultivation base.”

“You truly are extraordinary know about the Yin Grave and Yang Tomb. Come down with us!”

“NOO! Please seniors, be lenient…” the shameless Daoist cried out miserably.

Whoosh!

The five lights flickered, and the five supreme persons entered into the blood-colored cold pool, carrying the green-faced shameless Daoist. His miserable cry was cut abruptly short.

Following their entrance, the cold pool flared up, and a bloody light soared into the sky. As for the demons, they had long since preceded the six into the pool.

“Evil people truly do get beat by evil people. Good luck to you, you damn fatty!” Ye Fan stood up and wiped the dust off his bottom. He immediately left, as who knew what would happen here.

Rumble…

The bloody light brightened, and the entire primal ruins became enshrouded by the red light. The whole land became a frighteningly strange color.

At this moment, everyone felt their hearts beating fast. Beneath the blood-colored cold pool, it seemed as if there were some world-shaking changes going on!

Ye Fan left that mountain, quickly taking shelter in the distance.

With the Dao Glyphs sealing this area, there was no way for Ye Fan to leave the ruins. All he could do was wander around and wait for his opportunity. He had already gained the single-paged tome, as well as the mysterious green copper; this was a harvest that any other cultivator would go mad for. The best choice for him now was to distance himself from others.

“I hope the restriction opens soon…”

Ye Fan’s cultivation base was extremely low, and there was no way he was able to contest with others for spiritual weapons. He himself was the most clear on this, so he decided to travel into an empty area.

Ye Fan opened a jade box, and immediately a dense fragrance assaulted his nose. This was due to the Jade Serpent Orchid. He realized that now would be a good time for him to go searching for other spiritual medicines. Since he had obtained that single-page golden tome, and with the Wheel Sea Volume to guide him, he would definitely be able to make large advancements if he were also to obtain enough spiritual medicines.

He quickly started walking towards the deep mountains. With the appearance of the Demon Emperor’s tomb, the spiritual beasts had all run away. Only a small number continued to hide within their caves. Picking spiritual medicines now would be countless times easier than normal times.

When he had arrived within the ruins, Ye Fan remembered that he had noticed a very powerful beast around a marsh that seemed to be protecting something. He had made a large detour around it at the time, but now he went to take another look.

Arriving at that area, Ye Fan quickly found the marsh. He could feel a vague baleful air around. There were many large scales littered around the marsh, each as large as a palm.

“Looks like that large fellow has already left.”

Ye Fan carefully searched for a long time, not finding anything. In the end, he noticed something strange within the area where the scales were the densest. There was a plant there that he didn’t know the name of. It looked very ordinary, but seeing how the beast had so carefully avoided trampling it, there must be some secret.

He was still somewhat suspicious. Squatting down, he dug out the ground and extracted out a root, but after digging for another meter, he didn’t find anything abnormal

Just as he was about to give up, a small golden light shone into his eyes. Beneath the mud, at the very tip of this plant’s roots, was a golden rhizome as large as a dragon eye, brilliant and sparkling.

Ye Fan was startled, recalling how he had once read a recording in the records of spiritual medicines during his time in the Spirit Ruins Paradise about ancient trees that had gained spirituality. If they were defeated during their evolution, they weren’t always annihilated. They frequently left behind a life essence that would adhere to other plants’ rhizomes. In the future, it was very likely for them to be reborn.

“This should be the leftover essence of an ancient tree…” Ye Fan happily stared at the golden stem, collecting it and leaving.

He then started towards another region, quickly arriving in front of a certain stone mountain. There was a huge cave at the foot of the mountain from which a hidden fragrance flowed out.

Ye Fan happily walked inside.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the cave followed be a powerful baleful air. Ye Fan’s body immediately stiffened and he quickly ran.

A rumbling sound came out, and half the body of a vicious beast appeared outside the stone cave, roaring. It was similar in shape to a jackal or a wolf, but its whole body was covered by sharp black venomous barbs instead of fur, appearing extremely dreadful. It was seven or eight meters long, and it was covered by a bloody baleful air. While it continued to roar, its body lit up in what appeared to be black flames.

Ye Fan fled into the distance. This was not a beast he could provoke. It was much stronger than the Jade Horn Serpent; that air around it was extremely terrifying. The other beasts have all left, but it stayed. It’s definitely extraordinary!

---

In the end, Ye Fan didn’t make any gains in that area, so he started to search in other regions. Four hours later, he had found three kinds of spiritual medicines, but they weren’t exceptionally rare medicinal herbs, far from as valuable as that golden rhizome.

BOOM!

A bloody light rose from the area of the cold pool. Several human figures could be seen soaring within the sky battling fiercely together.

They were fighting a strange monster whose whole body was jet-black. It had the head of a lion, appearing just like the Tiger Dragon[1] from the legends. It didn’t lose out even when fighting the elite figures.

“Who would have thought that the Demon Emperor’s mount had been frozen here back in the day, before then having its dead corpse turned into a spiritual corpse. It now eternally guards this tomb.” Those few elites that were in the sky besieging that monster were doing their best to destroy it.

“This legendary Tiger Dragon’s descendant is extraordinary, as expected. It only followed the Demon Emperor for a short time back in the day, but it was actually able to reach such an unimaginable realm.”

That black Tiger Dragon beast warped back and forth. There didn’t seem to be any sign of it being defeated. Several times it almost charged back into the cold pool.

Rumble…

The cold pool surged, and all kinds of demon corpses continuously rose out of it. They were all controlled by the Tiger Dragon to help it kill the others in the sky.

“Even if we destroy this Tiger Dragon corpse, we won’t be able to break the Dao Glyphs left behind by the Demon Emperor, so we won’t be able to truly enter the Yin Grave…”

In the distance, Ye Fan was extremely startled. Apparently, there were many monsters within the Yin Grave with so many charging out now.

Qiang!

Suddenly a sonorous sound came from all around the ruins. Originally it sounded like metal and stone vibrating, but afterwards it grew louder, like a surging tsunami as it rumbled. Following that, divine rays appeared everywhere as endless divine splendor spread out in all directions.

The Dao Glyphs left behind by the five elites had been forcefully broken!

This shocked everyone here! Everyone realized that there were other peak experts who had arrived. And it definitely wasn’t just one person, if they could forcefully break the Dao Glyphs left by those five elites and cause the imperfect Heaven Power they had agglomerated to collapse.

Divine rainbows charged in as countless cultivators appeared, many times more than the previous bunch. As for the other grand figures who had broken the seal, they didn’t appear. However, they obviously had already entered into the ruins.

The cold pool was the very center of the primal ruins. Bloody mist floated as countless monsters charged up. More and more cultivators appeared. None of them took this chance to leave, and even more people were coming from various sects.

However, with the restriction broken, Ye Fan could now happily leave!

At this moment, his golden Sea of Bitterness’s green copper chunk could be considered a huge fortune, yet it could also cause a huge calamity. If anyone were to notice it, he would immediately fall from heaven to hell. Thus, he decided to immediately leave these ruins.

“Fight all you want. Fight until the heavens collapse and the earth splits open, until ghosts cry and gods howl! None of it has to do with me anymore!”

Ye Fan quickly ran into the distance. Only when he was on the very edge of the ruins did he turn and glance back, saying, “I’ll walk my own path. Others can fight for treasures.”

If the shameless Daoist were to learn the truth and hear him say such a thing, he would definitely vomit blood from anger and skin him alive.

Of course, if it were other cultivators, they might do even worse.
