The bronze fragments, stripped of their mystique, fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The bright moonlight shone down, like smoke and mist, and everyone was completely speechless as they stared at the young man with fair skin and bright eyes blocking the doorway.
"Wilderness?" Someone probed after an unknown amount of time.
"You know me?" Shi Hao asked in surprise.
The eyes of the cultivators closest to him widened instantly, and they almost fainted.
The Eastern Wilderness, now known as the Ancient Forbidden Land, the Primordial Mine, the Burial Island, the Immortal Tomb, the Divine Ruins, the Undying Mountain, and the Reincarnation Sea, are the seven forbidden zones for life known to all races in the universe.
These places are considered unlucky, and ordinary cultivators would avoid them at all costs.
Although it is the location of most rare and precious natural treasures, even powerful beings with limited lifespans rarely risk their lives to enter the forbidden area, for fear of bringing strangeness and danger to their families and descendants.
Now, however, a Lord of the Forbidden Zone who existed before the Chaotic Ancient Era has emerged, along with an unknown being who seems to have survived from before the Chaotic Ancient Era.
That's a chaotic ancient place.
A lost era, a story even older than the age of mythology, has never been recorded. No one knows what kind of period it was, and the oldest sacred sites and families are only mentioned in a few words.
Normally, seeing a name wouldn't have made the Holy Lords so uneasy, but the figure standing at the door made their scalps tingle, as if they could sense the figure overlapping.
Yes, this person's appearance is almost identical to the sword embryo in his hand.
He just said dinner is served! What kind of dinner? What are we eating?!
Could it be us?!
Some people drew parallels to the dark and turbulent past.
Whenever any race develops to a certain extent, dark turmoil will occur in the world caused by forbidden zones of life, and disasters will sweep across the land, causing countless deaths.
Those who knew the Ji family and other forces that had produced human emperors were even more aware of this, not to mention that one of their imperial sons had been born and had ended the great chaos at the cost of his life.
The deeds of the Great Emperor Wushi, who once intimidated all forbidden zones of life, suppressed all heavens, quelled the dark turmoil, and annihilated extraterrestrial gods, have been passed down among the holy lands and ancient families.
The current ruler of the forbidden zone and the powerful survivors of the chaotic ancient era have surrounded the Wind Clan's divine island.
"Awaken the Supreme Emperor Weapon!"
The Holy Lords had no intention of begging for mercy. Their faces were filled with tragic heroism, and they were fearless and ready to fight to the death. However, they saw that the old God King Jiang Taixu did not make any move.
"Senior God-King!?"
"."
The white-robed god-king Jiang Taixu remained silent.
Standing at the entrance, Shi Hao slapped away the Emperor holding the Nine Li Diagram. The Primordial Light, which could transform the origin of all things, struck him without causing a ripple.
Under the desperate gazes, he looked puzzled and asked, "Are you going to fight me before we eat?"
Shi Hao looked at Ye Fan, only to find that the other party was currently grabbing the expressionless Su Lin. The way the two were pulling at each other was not very elegant. Moreover, a prosperous and thriving phantom of the Heavenly City was pressing down with the weight of cause and effect and destiny of all worlds, blocking Su Lin's route of departure.
So what if you spend money on in-game purchases?!
Before Su Lin could even speak, a group of ordinary cultivators immediately slid to their knees.
"We are willing to serve the penalty area wholeheartedly!"
In the oppressive atmosphere that was almost enough to make one faint, the will to survive drove these cultivators to follow their instincts amidst the terror; they had no supreme imperial weapons at their disposal.
This angered some of the more upright and principled families of the Holy Land, who immediately took action to suppress these spineless individuals.
Just then, Jiang Taixu coughed and said, "How far back is the Chaotic Ancient Era? Even immortals have disappeared. Even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone could not appear here openly."
"But senior, what about the swords on their bodies and that cauldron?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Ye Fan's cauldron was forged from the Primordial Qi of All Things that he and I obtained from the Bronze Immortal Palace. You even tried to steal it back then." Ji Ziyue's eyes were somewhat disordered, but she jumped out to refute at this moment.
Upon hearing this, the various holy land families, including the Holy Lord of the Ji family, suddenly remembered this matter.
The cauldron in Ye Fan's hand, forged from the Primordial Qi of All Things, was not a product from before the Chaotic Ancient Era. Rather, it was a treasure that many cultivators gradually created during the process of pursuing and killing the other party after hearing that he had obtained the Primordial Qi of All Things.
The Ji family, the Yao Guang Holy Land, and the Purple Mansion Saintess were all well aware of this matter. In fact, Ye Fan killed many of their cultivators during his escape.
So that's how it is.
It does seem to be somewhat different from the image on the bronze fragment.
"Why are even restricted areas involved?" Shi Hao asked in the group chat. "Is this a movie leak or someone's memories being spied on?"
He spoke in a casual, habitual tone.
Then, he walked to a table and picked up a piece of delicious food made from divine meat. The blood and essence were much worse than what he usually ate, but the seasoning was quite good.
Seeing that Shi Hao was not eating people, the cultivators relaxed their vigilance considerably.
Ye Fan sent a message in the chat group: 'Look what trouble you two have caused me!'
He glared at Su Lin, and then the projection of Zhutian City disappeared due to the already meager account balance.
"Why are you coming to me, An Lan, for the trouble caused by Ye Fan, the master of the restricted area?" Su Lin calmly patted his sleeves and straightened his appearance.
Seeing that this guy seemed to be giving up, Ye Fan picked up the bronze fragment again and activated it once more.
Looking at the text and records above, Shi Hao was stunned, even while eating. After a long while, his Adam's apple bobbed and he slowly swallowed the food.
Shi Hao wasn't too surprised that the name 'Ye Fan' had been recorded before the Chaotic Ancient Era. After all, he had previously used the identity of the personal disciple of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone to flaunt his status in front of those supreme families and immortal clans.
Putting aside the fact that Su Lin, who is known as the master of the forbidden zone, did not use the cauldron at all when he appeared, Ye Fan on it is obviously a phantom image formed from the drop of blood during the Imperial Pass period, and why is even his own phantom image on it?
After much thought, it seems that only that chubby little Cao Yusheng could remember these things and keep a record of them.
This fatso probably had a confused memory after his corpse became sentient, which is why he told the Emperor and others strange history in later generations.
"Please be patient, everyone. I see that the contents recorded here are incomplete. Perhaps Huang conspired with Ye Fan to bury an era. There is other information between these two passages," Su Lin said.
That seems to make sense, but why did you run away in the first place?
The crowd's thoughts were momentarily diverted, but the key point was not why the two figures branded and the names recorded on them were exactly the same as the two people present.
"Such a thing exists? Could it be a similar flower?" Shi Hao wiped his mouth, frowned intently, and looked extremely surprised.
"Buddhism firmly believes that the afterlife is not a falsehood, and can be waited for, because as long as we keep waiting, there will always be two similar flowers in the long river of time, one past flower withers, and one future flower blooms."
Su Lin was somewhat surprised: "Could it be that reincarnation really exists in this world?"
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; there is no reincarnation, so how can there be any talk of rebirth? There is no afterlife; this is a consensus among many powerful cultivators.
But now, listening to these two powerful figures talk, everyone couldn't help but think in this direction. Among them, the monks of the Western Desert Buddhism founded by Amitabha Buddha were chanting Buddhist scriptures.
"Since beginningless time, sentient beings have been revolving in the cycle of birth and death in the six realms."
“All Buddhas attain such blissful nature until Nirvana, and now the Buddha is also departing in the same way,” Su Lin remarked.
"Senior, are you also versed in Buddhism?"
"I have an affinity with Buddhism."
The Buddhist monks of the Western Desert were overjoyed, and the two sides began to discuss the six realms of reincarnation. In a short time, they were filled with wonderful words, and divine principles of order appeared on the divine island.
Flowers of the other shore bloom in the void, adorning the peaceful stillness. Su Lin, who was discussing reincarnation with the monks, seemed to have gained some insight, and reincarnation seals that conflicted with the laws of heaven and earth appeared one after another.
"Is reincarnation real?"
"Could it be that these two are the reincarnations of the great figures who buried an era?"
"I knew it! That's why the Holy Body grew so quickly."
Everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation. The oppressive feeling of being so tense that one was afraid of becoming the other's prey in the next second disappeared. The families of the holy lands began to discuss the secret legends passed down from the ancient times of reincarnation, immortal tombs, and chaos.
As for the conflict between the surrender faction and the die-hard faction, everyone tacitly let these trivial matters slide.
Although most monks and cultivators outside of Buddhism believe in the emptiness of the afterlife, there are occasionally some powerful individuals with little lifespan left whose turbid eyes seem to hold a glimmer of hope.
Ye Fan stood there, stunned. He saw Su Lin give him an OK sign with his hands behind his back. It was true that the dangerous title of Lord of the Forbidden Zone had been removed, but something still felt off.
"Are you some kind of old monster reincarnated?" Ji Ziyue approached without her noticing, grinding her shiny little tiger teeth and saying disdainfully, "If so, I can only introduce you to the unmarried aunts of our ancestors' generation."
"Ziyue!" Ji Haoyue was a little scared that her younger sister had secretly gone to meet Ye Fan now, and her tone was worried.
"I have never believed in reincarnation. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; it's impossible for them to live on or be reincarnated."
Ye Fan shook his head: "Also, even if I am some old monster who survived from some chaotic ancient era, I still want a virgin from your Ji family."
"Wow?! You're still as shameless as ever!" Ji Ziyue stuck out her tongue and skipped back to the Ji family's side.
"Don't worry, bro, it's definitely that little brat."
Looking at her confident demeanor, Ye Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He smiled and looked at Li Xiaoman, whose expression was clearly one of astonishment, or rather, at the Crocodile Ancestor's divine thought within her brow.
Just then, Shi Hao started chatting with the emperor who had come to apologize.
"I thought you intended to use us as food to restore your cultivation," the Nine Li Emperor pleaded, bowing.
"Your cultivation levels are too weak. Even if you combine them, they're not as good as the roasted meat I ate in the mountains last night and the candy I had this morning. What's so delicious about that?"
Shi Hao said bluntly, "There isn't even a decent ingredient here, no."
He looked at Li Xiaoman's forehead.
"There is still one."
A golden crocodile phantom had been secretly observing Li Xiaoman from within her sea of consciousness. She had only just breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed two malicious gazes, one of which was filled with a strong sense of appetite.
It was terrified, for before its eyes appeared a massive amount of beast spirits and divine resentment, remnants left after they had been eaten and absorbed.
Even Ye Fan himself carried a considerable amount of lingering resentment that seemed to have accumulated since ancient times, such as that of the Golden-Winged Roc, the True Dragon, and the Crane.
And then there's 'An Lan'. The divine aura surrounding An Lan is even more outrageous... wait, why are the species and individuals they eat all exactly the same?!
The crocodile ancestor's divine imprint froze instantly.
"He's definitely not Ye Fan!" Li Xiaoman suddenly seemed to have been stimulated, reaching out her hand and pointing at the group with trembling fingers: "They're in cahoots!"
Her voice immediately broke the surrounding conversation and attracted the attention of many cultivators.
“Ye Fan and I were once Daoist partners. I know all about him. We come from the other side of the starry sky. There is no way he could have any clansmen in the Eastern Wilderness, let alone have his current cultivation level!”
"He's not the Ye Fan I know!"
Li Xiaoman's sudden revelation caused a stir, even Hua Yunfei was unaware of what she was doing, why she had exposed the secret of that ancient star on the other side of the starry sky.
"How did you know Ye Fan joined our chamber of commerce?" Su Lin chuckled. "Otherwise, how could someone his age have grown to this level in just a few years?"
Without secret techniques to kill enemies beyond one's level, magical reading machines to aid enlightenment, feng shui properties that make one year of cultivation equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation and mortgage payments, the divine medicine Life No. 1 that allows one to directly skip minor realms and attain enlightenment, and the unlimited supply of divine resources.
Even if he were a reincarnation of an ancient demon, he would never have achieved what he has now.
Listening to Su Lin's story, everyone was extremely excited. Recalling that in the past few years, although Ye Fan and Hong Mao had always swindled a large amount of resources from different areas, and sometimes even ran away after taking the deposit, the difference in their cultivation levels was only astounding each time they caught up with each other.
From disciples to elders, even the Holy Lord himself couldn't capture them.
They had suspected that the Holy Body and Red Hair had been recruited, but they never expected the Shrouding Heaven Merchant Guild to be so willing to do so.
An elder of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, whose lifespan was nearing its end and who had no hope of breaking through, first revealed greed in his eyes, then turned to envy under fear: "The Shrouding Heaven Merchant Guild possesses such treasures."
"Of course we have them, and we even sell them." Ye Fan's words caused an uproar throughout the room.
He naturally hadn't forgotten his second purpose for returning.
Although the already limited points were cleared to prevent Su Lin from running away, if the Chamber of Commerce is to be upgraded and the points required to use the supreme supernatural power of the Uncontrollable in the Heavenly City are to be collected, it will be necessary to start business in the home world where he is based.
Therefore, even old rivals with whom he has grudges and conflicts, as long as they are not heinous or have deep-seated grievances, are forces that he is destined to sweep away.
Ye Fan was still willing to provide these people with opportunities.
Even though the Golden-Winged Roc King wanted to use him as a whetstone and failed in several provocations, Ye Fan found him a job as a supplier of magical artifact materials. He only needed to provide some feathers and essence blood each day, and after assembling a certain number of pieces, he could get a fixed share of precious medicine.
He's almost become a Dao-Slaying King in no time. Even if he fails to cross the threshold in his heart and fails to transcend the tribulation, he can be resurrected and rescued from the underworld.
When it comes to repaying evil with good, there's nothing to say.
As one treasure after another was unveiled, everyone forgot what Li Xiaoman had said.
"10% off everything".
Su Lin made the decision to offer Ye Fan a discount, then looked at the depths of Li Xiaoman's brow and smiled, "A 10% discount?"
