C120 The Ancestral Furnace
The surging and surging earth veins were formed entirely from the purest medicinal Spiritual Energys. Even if Third Elder were to jump in personally, it would only take a single wave of time.
Divine light shot out from his eyes. He stared fixedly at the earth veins for a long time. The Third Elder sighed.
"Evil fate, it is truly evil fate."
In his opinion, Chen Fan and his friend must have been killed by the Spiritual Energy. As for his Spiritual Beings, they were naturally buried along with him.
There was nothing he could do about it. He could not risk his old life to search for them. He could only flee in the air and put away all the giant pillars, leaving behind a devastated scene.
Moreover, the scene in the earth vein didn't disappoint Chen Fan. The Dao Burning Furnace really didn't let down Chen Fan's expectations. No matter how many years passed, there might not be any external objects left in this place. It seemed extremely sudden.
The two of them could clearly sense the vast spiritual energy in the outside world in the Furnace Body space. In fact, it had even reached a terrifying level.
To cultivators, this was both a great temptation and the fastest way to seek death. As long as they left the Furnace Body space, they would turn into primordial spiritual energy in less than three breaths' time.
Chen Fan wanted more. Not only did he experience entering deep into the earth vein, he even forcefully stirred up the entire earth vein during the battle of a certain Ancient Saint.
Of course, those were all past events. He was still being hunted all over the world. He didn't even have the strength to fight back.
Nangong Xuan was full of curiosity. She reckoned that no one in the Hua Ding Sect had ever felt this way before. To actually be able to come to the earth vein before Core Condensating.
Along the way, they would occasionally encounter other 'external objects'. Just like them, they had entered the earth vein out of all kinds of coincidences.
It was either a dilapidated ancient tree that looked normal, but was able to flow safely through the ley lines. It was obvious how sturdy its body was.
It was either a strange magical equipment that was showing signs of cracking. Its surface was dull and dull. To it, the earth veins were nothing but ordinary rivers.
They could even see the cultivators of the Human Clan lying flat on the ground. However, they had lost their life force. They had become corpses many years ago.
Even so, they were still alive after death. It was clear how powerful they were when they were still alive.
"So it was just that I heard that there are many opportunities within the earth veins. Today is the first time I've seen such a thing. It's too miraculous."
Nangong Xuan said excitedly. She even temporarily suppressed the pain.
"Behind every magic treasure and corpse, there must be a very long story, sigh." Chen Fan sighed. If it wasn't for the protection of the Furnace Body, he wouldn't even be able to keep the corpse in his current condition.
"Kid, in the future, when you have more free time, come and take a turn in your earth meridians. If you can get those corpses up, you'll definitely earn a lot."
The Deer God let out a strange laugh. He must have found something good inside. Being able to drift in the earth veins for a long time, even a fool would know that its grade was extraordinary.
"Forget it. You're the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. I can't bear such a task." Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly. In comparison, his life was more important.
"I am the messenger of the heavens. I need your help with the matters on the ground." Deer God retorted.
He was even more clear about the natural luck in the earth vein than Nangong Xuan. However, it was fine if he did not see it earlier, but now he was going to leave empty-handed after entering the treasure mountain. He was truly unwilling.
"Old fellow, you are not serious, are you?" Chen Fan curled his lips and immediately stopped the former's thoughts.
At least he would have to wait until he recovered to the Nascent Infant Stage realm before he could enter the earth vein. Otherwise, how could the Third Elder let this matter rest?
Very soon, Nangong Xuan no longer had the mood to watch the show. For some reason, the speed of the earth vein's flow suddenly increased a lot. The two of them looked like they were drowning.
There was no room for buffer when they followed the flow inside. At most, Chen Fan controlled the Dao Burning Furnace to defend. How could he have the strength to resist the earth veins?
"What's going on?" Nangong Xuan panicked. She had never experienced this before. Moreover, the surrounding Spiritual Energys were all heavy bombs.
She was even more worried that the Dao Burning Furnace would not be able to withstand the impact. Once it cracked open, they would still be unable to escape death.
"I'm not sure either. Perhaps they encountered an earthstring rebellion. It'll be fine after a period of time." In Chen Fan's memories, there was indeed such a saying.
After all, it was completely made up of Spiritual Energys. The earthstring would definitely have some unusual movements. The instillation here was a little slow, and there was something wrong with the flow over there. It twisted left and right, and naturally, a storm similar to that of the outside world appeared.
However, the probability of this happening was extremely small. After all, the earth vein's body was quite large. Many of the impact waves were also wiped out amidst the churning waves.
"A hundred years might not be enough for it to appear. Could it be that we are so unlucky today that we have run into it?" Chen Fan was not sure about this, but he believed in the toughness of the Dao Burning Furnace.
The two of them swayed along the way, and they didn't know how much time had passed. Coupled with the fact that they were both heavily injured, they'd unknowingly fainted while cultivating.
When they recovered their senses, they'd arrived at a mysterious space.
"Kid, quickly wake up! It's time for good fortune!" Deer God woke Chen Fan up. On the way, he was the one taking care of the Furnace Body to avoid clashing with other objects in the earth vein.
"What is this place? Could it be that the earth vein is a world of its own?"
Chen Fan woke up in a daze. He looked around and found that everything was gray.
Even the naked eye was greatly affected. Fortunately, there were still Spiritual Consciousnesss that could be used to investigate, even though the distance was only a few dozen feet.
In a daze, he even thought that he had arrived at the Primal Chaos Region. He could even hear the sound of earth veins flowing in the distance. Clearly, the two of them had been rushed up.
"Deer God, where have I been standing?"
Chen Fan asked. The more he arrived at this mysterious place, the more regretful he felt. Before he fell into a deep slumber, he hadn't gone through the entire continent properly. Now, he had to rely on the information of the old man's Heavenly Dao for everything.
Although he knew very well that the old man wouldn't pose any threat to him, this feeling of being passive at all times made Chen Fan feel very uncomfortable.
"I've already said it before. These matters on the ground are not under my control. Brat, you should take a good look at the surroundings first."
Deer God was speechless. At least he had to find out the situation first before he could make a decision. With this hazy fog alone, he could not even talk nonsense.
Chen Fan called Nangong Xuan up. The two of them observed together. This Holy Maiden had at least a lot of secrets about the Cultivation Realm, so she should be able to have some understanding.
With curiosity and surprise, they slowly walked forward. They found that there were many broken walls on both sides of the road. They looked very old and did not know who built them.
"Could this be the ruins left by Ancient Saint? Judging from the style of the building, it has been at least five thousand years. There should still be powerful experts of that level."
Nangong Xuan said to herself. She had heard her grandfather mention it before. In some places in North Domain, there were many inheritances of powerful experts. However, they were all very hidden and needed people to dig them out.
From this point of view, their current location could be said to be deep enough. Who would run into the earth vein just because they were searching for the remains of Ancient Saint?
"En, let's take a look inside. There might be other clues."
Chen Fan had the same guess. However, just like when he came into contact with the Three Saints Technique, he tried hard to recall which Ancient Saint was so full that he had nothing to do.
Judging from the style of these buildings, It wasn't done by an ordinary Cultivator. The history of the earth vein had been traced back to ten thousand years ago.
In other words, there was once someone who built luxurious palaces next to the earth vein with great power.
If they used their own gongs and drums to restore the ruins to their original state, it would definitely be a different scene under the bright light.
The two of them continued to go deeper. Some lines began to appear on the walls on both sides. After countless years of burying, they were still emitting a faint light. It was not very bright.
Nangong Xuan curiously went over to check. Those channels should have records of the history of this place. Unfortunately, she did not have the slightest impression of it. There were even some that she could not understand.
A layer of light film formed on the surface and enveloped the incomplete body. At this level of destruction, those who did not protect it no longer had the strength to resist.
The surrounding buildings grew increasingly larger and the area they occupied also expanded. They would often start at a height of several hundred feet. The atmosphere was majestic and magnificent. It was even comparable to those imperial palaces in the outside world.
Even though it had been sealed underground for thousands of years, one could still vaguely see how majestic this place was in the past from the remains and ruins. It was definitely guarded by an extremely powerful expert.
In the end, the two of them arrived in front of a great hall. This was the end of this place. It looked like it was a thousand feet tall from the outside, and it was almost the same distance from the east to the west.
They stood by the entrance of the hall, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance in their hearts. It was as if they couldn't help but want to prostrate in worship when the earth vein was rising and falling.
This was entirely out of instinct. When they encountered a big fellow whose body was a hundred times or even a million times larger than their own, they would naturally reveal this feeling.
"My God, our luck is too good. We actually encountered such a ruin while fleeing. There aren't more than ten places in the entire northern language."
Nangong Xuan was a little excited but she still maintained her basic vigilance. She carefully checked around the entrance of the hall and found out if there were any traps or other hidden moves.
Usually, this so-called land of fortune contained similar dangers. If one was not careful, one would fall into danger. She still had this bit of awareness.
"Let's go. Ancient Saints disdained it. "Let's go. Ancient Saints doesn't care about people like us."
After Deer God glanced around, Chen Fan opened his mouth and said. Then, he forcefully pushed open the door and walked in.
Compared to the good fortune Nangong Xuan cared about, he was more curious about who had left such a majestic palace and what had caused it to be in such a state today.
"Hey, Chen Fan, wait for me!" Nangong Xuan followed closely behind.
