Chapter 111

On the way back, he casually picked a few ordinary fruits.

The Nine Wonderful Immortality Drugs — he naturally couldn't share something like this with people he had only ordinary relations with.

Returning to the original spot, the others had long since sat on the ground, chatting idly.

"Here, eat something."

Ye Hei divided the wild fruits cradled in his arms among the group, then continued on the journey.

The ordinary fruits growing within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land were truly extraordinary.

The wild fruits Ye Hei had picked also contained quite a bit of energy; once the group ate them, they were instantly invigorated, feeling as if boundless strength was surging through their mortal bodies.

Seeing the others walking ahead, Ye Hei then distributed several small fruits of the Immortality Tree to Pang Bo, Liu Yiyi, and Lin Jia, while signaling with his eyes for them not to reveal it.

The three of them understood at once.

The small fruits weren't large; the three swallowed them in one bite, then continued on the journey.

"Roar!"

After walking for most of the day, suddenly a tiger burst out from the forest.

This tiger was about three zhang long, with long, sharp fangs, like an extinct saber-toothed tiger.

"Scram!"

Ye Hei's gaze turned fierce as he released his own aura.

The next instant, the saber-toothed tiger, like a startled kitten, let out a yelp and vanished into the jungle.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Ye Hei is just too awesome — one roar and the tiger ran off scared."

After walking for another stretch, Ye Hei suddenly sensed a strange power in the air vanish; knowing they had walked out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land may not take your life, but it strips away your lifespan.

Which normal person would like that?

Just then, a surge of heat welled up within his body.

Ye Hei knew it was the power of time taking effect; he didn't resist, sitting cross-legged on the ground and letting that power wash over and refine his entire body.

As a bearer of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, his Sea of Bitterness was extremely hard to dissolve.

Taking advantage of this chance to dissolve the Sea of Bitterness — this was a supreme opportunity!

Pang Bo and the others also felt a surge of power; seeing Ye Hei already seated cross-legged, they hurriedly followed suit and imitated him.

Only they didn't know any cultivation methods; that power was like tendons being torn and bones being broken, causing many to writhe on the ground in agony.

Moments later, many had fainted from the pain.

As the group passed out, their appearances began to undergo tremendous changes — their hair started turning white, their skin began to age.

As if several decades had passed in an instant; in the blink of an eye, apart from the three who had taken the Immortality Drug together with Ye Hei, everyone else had taken on the appearance of someone in their sixties or seventies.

"The power of time truly is terrifying." Ye Hei opened his eyes, still shaken.

At this moment, his appearance had also undergone some changes — he looked several years younger, transformed from a seasoned college graduate into a fresh-faced high school boy.

0 ····Seeking flowers····· ······

And Pang Bo, Liu Yiyi, and Lin Jia had also reverted to looking like teenagers in their prime.

"What happened to us?"

Pang Bo was the first to wake; seeing old grannies and old men all over the ground, he got a fright.

Ye Hei: "The place where the ancient coffin stopped should have been somewhere extremely terrifying; we've been stripped of some years. Luckily I picked some immortal fruits earlier… otherwise, we'd be just like them right now."

"That's a relief then." Pang Bo let out a breath, "I really don't want to turn into an old man all of a sudden."

"Ah…"

Just then, Liu Yiyi and Lin Jia also woke up.

Seeing the miserable state of their classmates, they couldn't help but get a fright.

"Ye Hei, what's going on!"

Pang Bo helped explain everything; Lin Jia's eyes reddened, feeling a bit distressed.

"We crossed the Star Ancient Road, and yet still met with a great calamity!"

"It's fine." Ye Hei offered comfort, "Perhaps this is actually an opportunity instead."

Without the baptism of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, this group of theirs couldn't even dissolve their Sea of Bitterness — how could they possibly enter a cultivation sect?

While they were speaking, they saw a streak of rainbow light flying over from afar.

Ye Hei frowned and said, "A cultivator is coming. Are you coming with me, or staying here?"

Pang Bo was surprised: "Aren't we going to make contact?"

"Who knows what might happen?" Ye Hei was speechless.

Having read the original work, he naturally didn't want to go to the Divine Void Cave Heaven.

The Sacred Body couldn't cultivate, drew contempt from others, and was even coveted by an alchemist.

He'd have to be crazy to deliver himself to their door!

Pang Bo nodded: "I'll go with you."

Lin Jia and Liu Yiyi also nodded.

"Us too."

Arriving on an unfamiliar planet, Ye Hei naturally received even more reliance from them.

"Good." Ye Hei nodded, transformed into a red dragon, swept up the three of them, and in the blink of an eye was far away.

Flying nonstop for several dozen li, Ye Hei finally landed on a small hill, watching from afar.

A moment later.

Several more streaks of rainbow light descended, then led away the many classmates who had aged.

"They've already been taken away by the cultivators; we'll surely meet again in the future. Let's leave too, and find a place to cultivate."

Although Pang Bo and the others couldn't see it, they trusted Ye Hei completely.

"Alright!"

Ye Hei once again transformed into a dragon and flew toward the city he had sensed.

……

On the other side.

Divine Void Grotto-Heaven.

Weiwei brought the people back and handed them over to the Elder.

Then, the Elders obtained a shocking piece of news from these people's mouths.

"You're saying you saw the disciple of Dao Sovereign Tai Xuan?!"

"Yes. That person was our classmate, but after we woke up, we didn't see him anywhere."

Hearing this, the Elders of Divine Void Grotto-Heaven exchanged glances, the color of shock in their eyes impossible to restrain.

"You need not worry. Since he is a disciple of Dao Sovereign Tai Xuan, naturally nothing will happen to him."

Casually calling over a few disciples to take the people away and give them guidance in cultivation.

"The Dao Sovereign has appeared!"

"After tens of thousands of years, is the Dao Sovereign of our Divine Void Grotto-Heaven about to enter the world once more?"

Weiwei's gaze slightly hardened: "Master, is that the legendary Dao Sovereign Tai Xuan?!"

"Correct." The Elder nodded, his face full of pride. "It is said that Dao Sovereign Tai Xuan originated from Divine Void Grotto-Heaven, was an unrivaled Dao Lord of a certain generation, and suppressed an entire era."

"Isn't that just a legend?"

"It's not a legend. The Dao Sovereign's existence is recorded in the sect's annals." The Elder said with great seriousness, his face full of pride.

At the same time.

The same thing was happening at Jade Cauldron Grotto-Heaven.

"Dao Sovereign Tai Xuan, that existence who suppressed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, has appeared again?"

Ye Hei brought Pang Bo and the others into the city, casually bought a garden estate with gold, and then moved in.

Since he had revealed his identity as a cultivator when buying the house, the four of them didn't run into any troublesome matters afterward.

After finishing all this, Ye Hei opened the chat group.

Ye Hei: "Finally done, tired, really tired!"

Su Xiao: "Ye Hei, you still say you're tired? You posted it already!"
