Chapter 53: Five-Colored Altar

When digging out a soybean-sized god source, Ye Fan had just thought to act when the big black dog fiercely bit him, giving him no chance at all.

Although this god source chunk is only a tiny grain, after all it is god source, its value is immeasurable, many times more precious than those heavenly treasures! This tiny grain alone can match many source chunks.

"Haha, indeed it's the grain I, the Emperor, lost back then!"

The god source was finally seized in one bite by the Black Emperor, who stored it away without even looking, speaking with certainty.

The source mine is vast in quantity, extremely rare; even in the surrounding area, one can extract god source, indicating how rich it once was.

If Yang Zhu's guess is correct, the source mine might have been a continuous vein of source back then, not like the outside world's piecemeal stone chunks, but a whole vein like a river.

This place was chosen by the Ruthless Person; how could it be an ordinary source mine? It must be astonishingly extraordinary.

After descending several kilometers, the ground below suddenly collapsed, successfully breaking through.

Yang Zhu looked down from the cave entrance, and indeed there was another world within.

This too is an underground place, not very wide, only a few tens of zhang across; in the center stands a very conspicuous altar.

Why is it conspicuous? Because the altar is made of five differently colored materials combined, each special—neither wood nor stone, quite strange.

The altar stands over a meter high, its surface covered with colorless divine material, and its edges are carved with many patterns.

Unlike the other two dojos, what is carved here is not flowers, fish, birds, and insects, but a vast star field.

Each point of light above represents an ancient star, emitting a crystalline glow, as if the stars had been moved upward, extremely brilliant.

"Five... Five-Colored Altar!"

Upon seeing the altar for the first time, Ye Fan's pupils contracted, his heart pounded violently, his blood flow accelerated unconsciously, and tumultuous waves surged in his mind.

He was extremely familiar with the Five-Colored Altar!

Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin set sail in the desolate universe, landing on one Five-Colored Altar after another...

Since arriving in the Big Dipper, Ye Fan has trained so hard just to become strong enough to return someday.

And the most crucial thing for returning is none other than the Five-Colored Altar!

According to his knowledge, the Ancient Forbidden Zone also seems to have one, but that place is too dangerous, making people's faces change at the mere mention.

Lao Fengzi's Heavenly Mystery Holy Land, when it launched an all-out attack with all its resources and tens of thousands of experts, formed a fearsome force, yet still ended in utter destruction.

In the end, only Lao Fengzi and another old woman survived.

Even after paying such a heavy price, they returned empty-handed, and a power that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years vanished from the Big Dipper.

Even now, when people recall it, they all feel a chill.

Even when other forces attacked with more than one Imperial Weapon, they still failed, shocking the world again!

The several major Life Forbidden Zones are not just talk; they are the most dangerous places in the Five Regions!

"Have you seen it before?"

The big black dog is extremely perceptive; it instantly sensed Ye Fan's oddness and gave him a scrutinizing look.

"Yes."

Ye Fan remained silent for a long time, then slightly calmed his emotions and nodded with a solemn expression.

He even felt an urge to rush in immediately; being here, he constantly longs to return to his hometown, wondering whether his parents are well.

"There's a killing formation; don't move recklessly."

Seeing the five-colored materials, the big black dog's eyes turned green; being only the size of a mongrel at the moment, Yang Zhu grabbed him with one hand.

"A killing formation?!"

Upon hearing that, the Black Emperor barely regained his composure, the words "Ruthless Person" flashing in his mind, and he immediately became obedient.

"How powerful is the killing formation? Are you confident you can approach?"

Ye Fan asked, saying that if he had confidence, he would go forward to check no matter what; this might be his best hope of leaving. He hadn't noticed the killing formation's existence, but he trusted Yang Zhu's words.

"It's very strong; you definitely can't get close, but I might be able to try."

This is not arrogance, but a fact.

Yang Zhu's physique, talent, cultivation method, and trump cards are far beyond what Ye Fan can match.

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan remained silent for a long time, then finally looked up at Yang Zhu and said, "Can you try? Just consider it a favor to me."

Ye Fan vaguely guessed Yang Zhu's extraordinariness, thinking he had no treasure that could tempt him, yet he didn't want to miss this opportunity! "This is simple; take out your green tortoise and ancient jade, and we'll reluctantly agree."

Even now, the big black dog is still thinking about Ye Fan's treasure.

"Shut up."

Yang Zhu scolded him; upon hearing that, the big black dog immediately pulled a long face and dared not make a sound.

As a transmigrator, Yang Zhu knows how much Ye Fan longs to return to the other end of the starry sky.

"Alright, I promise to give it a try."

He agreed without hesitation; he will definitely help with this, and he had originally planned to go down and take a look.

"Th... thank you!"

Ye Fan stared for a moment, then straightened his back and performed a salute with clasped hands.

Upon their first meeting, Ye Fan felt something unusual toward Yang Zhu, not knowing why, but Yang Zhu seemed kindly disposed toward him.

Later, he was even willing to produce the Travel Word Secret to exchange a few items with him; although those items were quite valuable, for Ye Fan they were far insufficient compared to the benefits the Travel Word Secret would bring him.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend; one can come and go freely, and even if struck down by a strong expert, one still has confidence to escape.

"Wait here; I'll go and return shortly."

After speaking, Yang Zhu's body surfaced Dao patterns, constantly shining, exuding a hazy mist that enveloped him; soon his whole body gradually became illusory, as if merging with the void.

Activating the All Word Secret instantly boosted his combat power and soul tenfold; Yang Zhu's form became ever more ethereal, nearly disappearing.

He turned and darted downward; being one with the Dao, the killing formation could not detect his presence at all, and he arrived safely at the Five-Colored Altar.

"What kind of technique is this, so miraculous?"

Ye Fan stared in astonishment; he had never heard of such a technique.

Tch, this emperor might as well tell you a fact.

The big black dog raised its head, looking pleased.

Do you know what will happen after the Sacred Body Dao Embryo becomes a saint?

Ye Fan saw his mysterious look, grew displeased, and urged: "Don't keep me in suspense, speak quickly."

After the Sacred Body Dao Embryo becomes a saint, it can merge with the Great Dao; then all laws will not invade, and attacks below the quasi-emperor level will hardly harm him in the slightest.

But at that time, even a casual movement of his can draw the power of the Great Dao, wiping out opponents in moments!

As he spoke, the big black dog's face turned excited.

Others need to become emperor to be invincible under heaven, but he only needs to reach great accomplishment to be invincible!

This sounds a bit exaggerated, but Ye Fan pondered a moment and then nodded secretly.

Once the Sacred Body reaches great accomplishment, it can rival the emperor; let alone the more powerful Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

At that time, wielding two imperial weapons, any damned forbidden zone will be completely suppressed, reenacting the majesty of the emperor of old...
