When Ye Fan met Nangong Zheng, he immediately stated his purpose, because he knew that Nangong Zheng didn't like playing games and was very pragmatic!
"Breaking the four extremes and reconnecting the broken path, what are you going to offer in exchange?" Nangong Zheng smiled slightly.
"Senior, please see, I am prepared!"
Ye Fan took out a small white jade cauldron, turned it on, and instantly, a fragrant and intoxicating aroma filled the entire valley. The scent gave people the illusion of floating in the air and ascending to heaven.
"This is the Dragon Pearl of the True Dragon Divine Medicine!" Ye Fan said.
Inside the small white jade cauldron, there was a precious pearl, not very large, but surrounded by many auspicious colors, floating up and down.
Nangong Zheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be the Dragon Pearl of the True Dragon Divine Medicine.
"What a pity, it's not the complete True Dragon Divine Medicine!" Nangong Zheng sighed, saying with some regret.
"The divine medicine was too cunning, I couldn't get it. I only got the Dragon Pearl and some Dragon Liquid, and I gave a few drops of Dragon Liquid to the God King!" Ye Fan said honestly.
"I see!"
Nangong Zheng suddenly realized that in the original story, Ye Fan gave the Dragon Pearl to Jiang Taixu in the Dragon Transformation Pool. However, now that Ye Fan had other good fortune, he gave Jiang Taixu other divine objects and left the Dragon Pearl, the true dragon medicine, behind.
"Keep it for now, and give it to me after you succeed. Of course, the True Dragon Pearl is not the complete elixir of immortality. I also need ten sacred fruits from the Desolate Forbidden Land!" Nangong Zheng said with a slight smile.
He remembered that there should still be forty sacred fruits left in the Desolate Ancient Holy Land. Ye Hei would have to get them sooner or later, so he wanted to reserve a batch in advance. Besides, for Ye Fan, exchanging ten sacred fruits and one dragon ball for the opportunity to continue the broken path was already a great deal.
Ye Fan's face immediately fell. He temporarily put away the Dragon Ball and said with some bitterness, "Senior, the forbidden area is dangerous; it's a matter of life and death!"
"You've consumed the Divine Spring and the Sacred Fruit, so you have some resistance to the curse of the Ancient Forbidden Land. You still have a chance!" Nangong Zheng said.
"The most crucial thing is that you're the one who's supposed to be ruthless! If it were someone else, they'd probably be slapped to death!" Nangong Zheng thought to himself.
Although the ruthless woman wouldn't offer Ye Fan the divine medicine willingly, she wouldn't object if Ye Fan went to take it!
Ye Fan was still frowning. He had entered and exited the desolate, ancient, forbidden area twice and knew the dangers involved!
"I'm not in a hurry to get it. I can owe you for now and take it when you're confident," Nangong Zheng said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression softened somewhat. He truly didn't want to experience that near-death experience any longer.
"This breakthrough will require the help of the Ancient Forbidden Lan; you'd better go there too!" Nangong Zheng said.
"Why is that?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.
"The Ancient Sacred Land contains the World from ancient times, which may be more beneficial for your breakthrough!" Nangong Zheng said.
"Alright! Let's not delay, when shall we set off!" Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then immediately said.
He made up his mind to enter the desolate, ancient, forbidden land to break through.
Of course, he was thinking that once he entered the Forbidden Land, he would break through at the edge of the Forbidden Land. He had consumed the Divine Spring Sacred Fruit, which could resist most of the power of the curse, thus greatly reducing the danger.
"There's no time like the present! Let's do it now!" Nangong Zheng said.
Immediately, he waved his hand, and various divine lights surged, enveloping Ye Fan and taking him away from the Valley of Longevity!
Soon after, they entered the territory of the Yan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom was two thousand li long from north to south and three thousand li long from east to west. At present, its territory in the Eastern Wilderness was only a drop in the ocean. There were countless countries like this.
However, he is known throughout the World because of the ancient forbidden land in the central region!
Nangong Zheng's figure flickered and disappeared with each step, his movements ethereal and unpredictable. He quickly entered a primeval forest and headed towards the desolate forbidden land, soon reaching its edge.
The vast forest was deathly silent, without a sound. Birds and beasts were nowhere to be seen, and ants and insects were nowhere to be found. It was as if we had arrived at the end of the World.
Nangong Zheng released Ye Fan and said, "Go, I'll wait for you outside for now!"
"Senior, could you lend me some divine artifacts?" Ye Fan said.
Nangong Zheng nodded slightly, took out a divine garment, and temporarily handed it to Ye Fan to help protect him.
Ye Fan nodded, put on the divine robe, hesitated slightly, and stepped into the desolate ancient forbidden zone.
Nangong Zheng was standing at the edge of the forbidden area, watching from afar!
Ye Fan did not venture too far; he stopped after traveling less than ten miles!
Next, Ye Fan took out the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, placed it on the ground, and made it rapidly enlarge. Inside, it shimmered with light and was filled with essence, as if it contained an inexhaustible "source".
boom!
Divine light pierced through the clouds and the heavens, igniting a blazing inferno that made it impossible to open one's eyes!
Ye Fan sat inside the cauldron, his body surging with energy, his blood qi soaring to the sky, creating an extremely astonishing sight!
Nangong Zheng nodded secretly in approval. As expected of the Ancient Sacred Body. Just within the Dao Palace Secret Realm, his blood energy was already so vigorous. It was practically a true dragon awakening.
Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the cauldron, his black hair flying, his body vigorous, like a god, peaceful and serene.
His blood energy surged like a true dragon, bursting forth from his body in wave after wave, his physical form connecting with heaven and earth.
A soaring divine light surrounded him, and spiritual energy flowed through every inch of his skin. This was no ordinary essence, but the essence of the divine source, all of which entered his body.
A day later, Ye Fan successfully advanced to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm!
Nangong Zheng nodded to himself; Ye Fan had indeed succeeded!
However, the heavenly tribulation did not descend. Nangong Zheng understood that the heavenly tribulation would not descend if it were in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. But if it were outside, the heavenly tribulation would still appear.
Ye Fan was very excited. He had spent tens of millions of resources to break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, finally. He wanted to roar, but now that he was in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he dared not be so presumptuous!
He suppressed his excitement, sat down cross-legged, and focused on consolidating his cultivation.
On the tenth day, Ye Fan stood up and, with a few leaps, headed towards the edge of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Before long, he left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!
"Senior, I succeeded..." Ye Fan said with a smile and breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, the heavens and earth trembled, and purple lightning descended from the sky, striking Ye Fan!
"You deal with the heavenly tribulation first!" Nangong Zheng said. His prediction was correct; the heavenly tribulation was only delayed, not eliminated.
Rumble!
Soon, endless lightning engulfed Ye Fan, turning the World into a vast purple expanse of thunder, terrifying beyond measure!
Having survived numerous terrifying ordeals, Ye Fan collapsed, his body charred black, like charcoal that had been through a fire, almost decaying.
Nangong Zheng was shocked. Could Ye Fan be dead?!
Then, Ye Fan struggled to his feet again. He underwent a complete transformation, experiencing the tribulation of lightning and gaining indescribable benefits.
"It's finally over..." Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The great calamity of the Four Extremes had brought him to the brink of death, but fortunately, he had finally survived it.
However, before he could calm his mind, innate patterns appeared in the sky, intertwining to form a Dao diagram that slowly pressed down.
"The Primordial Dao Diagram!" Ye Fan exclaimed in shock.
The void trembled, almost collapsing. This picture was mysterious and unpredictable, like a vessel of the Great Dao, suffocating people and making it hard to breathe. It even made Ye Fan's soul tremble!
After he broke through to the Four Extremes, a Primordial Dao Diagram descended upon him, vast, solemn, profound, complex, and irresistible, attempting to force him back to his original form.
This has transcended the realm of heavenly tribulation; it is not thunder or lightning, but an innate pattern interwoven with heaven and earth, representing a kind of strong will!
"Senior, make your move!" Ye Fan shouted. He knew that this was the real calamity, and Nangong Zheng needed to intervene!
