Chapter 10: Ye Fan's Property in the Forbidden Zone, Ancient Beasts

When Zhao Tianpeng finally came to his senses from the profound divine sound of the Great Dao, the entire bronze coffin churned and shook violently. Everyone felt dizzy and disoriented. Only Zhao Tianpeng, sitting cross-legged, floated in mid-air, watching them turn into a washing machine. To prevent anyone from being thrown out, he waved his hand and cast divine light to envelop them.

When the ancient bronze carvings on the coffin walls emitted a divine glow, forming a hazy light curtain that counteracted an unimaginable impact, the giant coffin finally stabilized.

With a final, deafening roar, the lid of the bronze coffin shifted off course and slid heavily to the side, causing the coffin to overturn onto the ground.

Then Ye Fan's classmates, crying and shouting about light, hope, beauty, and new life, rushed directly into the desolate forbidden land outside.

Zhao Tianpeng stepped out of the bronze coffin and looked outside. They were on a hill of moderate height, surrounded by rolling, beautiful peaks and ancient, lush trees. The area was full of life, like a peaceful and serene land, showing no signs of being a desolate and forbidden place that people would avoid.

He looked around and felt that his divine power source was being suppressed to the point that it was almost impossible to flow out. A strange force invaded his flesh and blood and landed on the Wheel of Life, beginning to wear down his lifespan. A new mark was gradually forming on the Wheel of Life. Zhao Tianpeng quickly urged the bronze Buddha statue to release its mysterious energy to isolate this strange force.

"Fortunately, I didn't continue my cultivation to cross the divine bridge to the other side."

The higher a person's cultivation level, the faster their lifespan will be consumed in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. If it weren't for the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin impacting the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and suppressing the alien power, he should be feeling an even stronger alien power eroding him right now.

Fortunately, Zhao Tianpeng turned around and looked around. He then wandered around looking for a branch of the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine and the Divine Spring. He wanted to claim the inheritance left to him by his sister in front of Ye Fan, the forbidden area's leader.

Seeing Zhao Tianpeng's actions, Ye Fan did not follow the other classmates, but instead pulled Pang Bo along to follow Zhao Tianpeng. After all, they were in an unfamiliar place, and following a cultivator would be safer.

As Zhao Tianpeng turned through a grove of trees, a rich fruity aroma wafted over. A few dozen meters ahead, several old vines as thick as buckets surrounded a clearing, where a small, square spring, about a meter in size, gurgled and flowed like a divine spring of sweet dew.

Beside the spring, there grew a dozen or so small trees, each about half a meter tall, with broad, vibrant green leaves shaped like human hands. At the top of each tree hung a red fruit, about the size of a chicken egg and resembling a cherry.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who were following behind, had been starving for a day and a night. The aroma of the fruit almost made their mouths water. However, they didn't know if the fruit was edible, or if the mysterious boy would share some with them, so they didn't go forward to pick any.

Zhao Tianpeng walked up to the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir Fruit and looked at it. There were a total of thirteen fruits. How many to take was a matter of skill. This was the property of Ye Fan, the forbidden zone's son. It was uncertain whether the guardian, Ruthless Man, was currently in a state of consciousness or not. But no matter what, he could not take them all, or even more than half. He calculated and finally picked five fruits and put them in the Golden Ancient Temple. He also took most of the spring water from the divine spring.

Zhao Tianpeng pointed to the fruit and the divine spring, saying, "Don't just look at them, these are rare spiritual fruits, eating them will bring you benefits."

"The spring water is also good, drink more."

"I must go now. Hope we meet again someday."

After saying that, he turned and ran down the mountain. Although he used a quasi-emperor forbidden artifact to isolate the secret power of the ancient forbidden land, this was still a kind of wear and tear on the forbidden artifact. Even though the aura of the ancient forbidden land had dissipated a lot, the wear and tear on the forbidden artifact was still considerable. The longer he stayed here, the more wear and tear he would suffer.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo watched Zhao Tianpeng disappear into the distance, turning into a blur as he descended the mountain, and were startled: "It seems there are dangers here that we are unaware of."

"Quickly eat the fruit, drink some spring water, go back and find them, and get out of there!"

At this moment, Zhao Tianpeng was running at full speed through the desolate forbidden land, quickly crossing one mountain after another. Soon he discovered that there was a high mountain far ahead of him, where palaces stretched out in a row, like a palace from heaven descended to earth.

"The ruins of the Heavenly Court?"

However, he only glanced at it twice and then stopped paying attention. This place was a place that only those with the right fate could enter, and there was no need to waste time if you didn't have that luck.

However, the next moment, he stepped out and the world spun around him, and he found himself standing in front of a palace.

"Um?"

What did you give me?

Zhao Tianpeng looked around at the palaces and the ruins of the Heavenly Court that had fallen to the Big Dipper.

"Looks like I'm still lucky after all."

He thought for a moment and didn't wander around aimlessly. There was a Daoist array here, and one wrong step would send him to some unknown corner of the universe.

To be on the safe side, he chose to walk to the largest palace in the vicinity. Such a large palace had a higher probability of containing treasures, and the quality of the treasures was likely to be higher as well. In this way, even if he stepped on a teleportation array and got out later, he would have a safety net.

Zhao Tianpeng pushed open the palace gate and saw two altars inside. Two huge divine sources floated on the altars like two suns. One divine source was blood red and faintly emitted the sound of tides. The other divine source was golden and shiny, like metal and stone.

Zhao Tianpeng glanced at the Divine Source and his heart skipped a beat: "Is there an ancient being sealed inside?"

However, when he went to investigate, he discovered that what was sealed inside were the corpses of two ancient beasts. The ancient beast within the crimson divine source was entirely blood-red, as if cast from pure gold, with enormous scales that clanged loudly. It resembled a pterosaur, but upon closer inspection, it looked like a giant bat covered in scales.

"Blood Beast".

Zhao Tianpeng recognized the thing. It was a kind of ancient beast with an extremely large true body, at least a thousand feet in size. The blood beast in front of him was only about ten feet in size, but it had been dealt with by the Heavenly Court. It seemed to have been placed here as material for alchemy or weapon forging.

As for the ancient beast in the other piece of divine source, it is a metal monster, a metal-eating beast, an ancient beast that grows by devouring divine materials and metals. Like the blood beast, it has been specially treated.

"An ancient beast that can be sealed here with such divine power must at least be a quasi-emperor level, right?"

"It might just be a near-nine."

Zhao Tianpeng's eyes lit up as he looked at the ancient beast corpse in the divine source. The quasi-emperor ancient beast corpse, if refined into a battle corpse using ghost path techniques, would be enough to become a powerful force. If it were to be made into a natal corpse using the corpse cultivation secrets of the ghost path, it would further advance his own cultivation.

He stored the two sealed ancient beasts' divine essences into the golden ancient temple and walked deeper into the main hall. Naturally, there couldn't be only these two ancient beasts in this vast palace.

"This is?"

"It's this."
