Chapter 173

Nowadays, the human race is prosperous and flourishing, spread throughout the great universe. On every life star, there are traces of humans, and with the strength of one race, they compare to the entire ancient myriad races.

Every human family and extreme sacred ground is equivalent to an ancient imperial race, brilliant to the extreme, to the point that the human race doesn't even target outside races, but enjoys internal fighting to the fullest.

But if the number of humans were to plummet, occupying only one star, with the population of only an ordinary race, then the situation would instantly reverse.

The human race would no longer be the human race, but would be classified as one of the ancient myriad races, called the hairless naked ape, the short-haired monkey race.

Like other ancient myriad races, they would choose an ancient imperial race they were close to and attach themselves to it.

The Fighting Sacred Ape has a sparse population; even at its peak, there were only three or five of them. Undoubtedly, it is the best choice, and they could become the co-lord of the monkey race, worshipped high up.

This is not a guess, but a very possible ancient history.

In the late ancient times, the Fighting Sacred Emperor ruled the great universe and advocated the coexistence of myriad races. Who knows, there might have been ancestors of the Big Dipper who ran over to climb the family tree and, with the help of the Sacred Emperor's might, protect the human race.

After all, the Dao traditions of the two human emperors of the human race are all on the Purple Micro Imperial Star. The Big Dipper human race in the ancient times lived very miserably and were often regarded as blood food and slaves.

"We are all relatives; I, Old Lin, might also be able to practice the seventy-two transformations, the Eight-Nine Profound Art..."

"Actually, I have long been a member of the monkey race."

Lin Xian's heart stirred, and he decided to pick a few holy fruits to fish for the Fighting Sacred Ape.

The nine sacred mountains have nine divine roots; it was the Ruthless Great Emperor who divided the Nine Wonders Undying Medicine into nine parts to comprehend the method of longevity, involving her nine-life body on the path to becoming an immortal.

The sacred tree on this sacred mountain is green and emerald, green light flashing, as if carved from green jade, but the fruits have all been exhausted.

"When we descended on the Big Dipper riding the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, we picked them clean."

Ye Fan sighed, shook his head, and prepared to head to the second sacred mountain. However, he discovered that Lin Xian was circling the sacred tree, muttering non-stop.

"Since we're here, how can we leave empty-handed?"

Lin Xian held Little Nan Nan and said with a smile, "Nan Nan, help big brother pick a few leaves, okay? This kind of leaf is delicious. When we go back, I'll help you make green leaf porridge."

Upon hearing about food, Little Nan Nan, who was often hungry, had firm eyes. She stepped forward and grabbed, and with a "crack," she broke off not only the branches but also the leaves.

"So easy to break." Even Lin Xian was ashamed; he just wanted to eat some leaves, he really didn't intend to cut down the tree.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Little Nan Nan held the branch, but was extremely happy, dancing it with a whooshing sound, as if she had obtained a precious sword. She gestured a few times, and the plants on the sacred mountain immediately suffered.

Ever since the seven-colored tear stains merged into her body, Little Nan Nan no longer lost her memory. Like an ordinary child, she had her own joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness, and compared to a divine infant, she was more like a person.

"Little Nan Nan took it, I didn't take it; Little Nan Nan took it, I didn't take it."

Lin Xian muttered a few times, then slipped away with a guilty conscience, taking Little Nan Nan to another sacred mountain.

The second sacred mountain also had a divine spring. The few of them drank as usual, and Lin Xian let the system record the different ancient aura, preparing to simulate it after returning.

The sacred tree on this sacred mountain was red as fire, crystal clear and flashing, as if carved from red agate, and the fruits were like ginseng fruits, extremely tender.

"Is there really such a thing as ginseng fruit?" Ye Fan muttered, took out a jade box, and picked the holy fruits one by one. In the future, if he encountered Dao wounds or life-and-death crises, they would be of great use and could absolutely save his life.

"This is only one-ninth of the fruit of the Nine Wonders Medicine, not as good as ginseng fruit." Lin Xian smacked his lips, very longing, "The ginseng fruit tree is an Undying Medicine; I don't know what it tastes like."

"Sacred Lord, why not try this one first?" Ye Fan handed over one of the fruits. With nine sacred mountains, there were many fruits, enough for them to squander.

"Eating it now is a waste." Lin Xian shook his head and said indifferently, "Although the great medicine is good, it has drug resistance, and the levels are distinct. It's just like eating the Undying Medicine; eating other great medicines afterward has a negligible effect."

"The correct order is to eat thousand-year spiritual medicine first, then ten-thousand-year medicine king, then eat holy fruit, eat part of the Undying Medicine, eat divine marrow and strange treasures, and finally take the Undying Medicine."

This way, the medicinal properties can be exerted to the extreme. Even if one doesn't become an emperor, one can live for eight or nine thousand years in one life, and finally use the Undying Medicine to refresh the state.

In this way, two lives superimposed together should be sixteen thousand years, longer than the Golden Crow Great Emperor can live.

"It can be done like this?" Ye Fan was dumbfounded. He used to chew grass like a cow and didn't discover that he could card-bug like this.

"Of course, it only applies to ordinary cultivators like me." Lin Xian said indifferently, "You are a person who wants to fight on the Emperor's path; every day is a life-and-death battle, and you have to cross the thunder tribulation, so you have to start with the medicine king as a minimum."

"You'd better eat more holy fruit and drink more divine spring to ensure your own vitality; otherwise, if you are struck to death by the thunder tribulation, my Tianxuan Sacred Ground will have no successors."

Ye Fan rolled his eyes. Sure enough, Sacred Lord Lin's routines were deep; he shouldn't have listened to his nonsense.

Refining the pink ginseng fruit, many Dao fragments surged into the Holy Body, shining brilliantly, seemingly about to build a heavenly road leading to the Four Extremities.

"A few more, and I'll be able to break through to the Four Extremities." Ye Fan said excitedly, feeling spirited, noticing that the holy fruit had already turned into a foundation, providing a continuous stream of vitality for his physical body.

Even if the Four Extremities Heavenly Pass had a thunder tribulation, he wouldn't be afraid; the holy fruit could repair all injuries.

After descending this sacred mountain, the few of them headed to the third sacred mountain. This time, besides the divine spring, there were seven sacred trees, snow-white all over, with fruits flashing like the moon.

For the next period of time, the few of them repeated the steps of climbing the sacred mountain, drinking the divine source, and picking the divine fruit.

Ye Fan was surprised to find that the sacred trees on each sacred mountain, whether in number or species, were different, extremely asymmetrical. Some had heart-shaped fruits, red as blood, and some had sun fruits, brilliant as the sun.

The holy fruits of the nine sacred mountains added up to dozens, exceeding his expectations, enough for them to eat several times.

The harvest was really too much, and there was an illusion of being in a dream.

Fairy Zixia said softly, "Dozens of holy fruits are more heaven-defying than dozens of medicine kings. Added together, the medicinal effect is comparable to two or three Undying Medicines."

This situation was too unusual. How could one Undying Medicine produce the amount of two or three?

"I understand. The Nine Wonders Undying Medicine is divided into nine parts, and the laws nurtured in the fruits produced are also incomplete." Ye Fan recalled the taste of the holy fruit and said thoughtfully, "Eating the holy fruit cannot live a second life; only when the nine wonders are combined is it the true Undying Medicine."

"That is to say, after eating nine kinds of holy fruits, eating the Undying Medicine is still effective and can live a second life." Lin Xian thought carefully and was immediately amazed, only feeling that the Ruthless Great Emperor was also a master of card-bugging.

One longevity method can only live once, the Undying Medicine can only be eaten at most once, and taking a second one can only replenish divine power, not open a third life.

Therefore, taking the Undying Medicine in the twilight of a Great Emperor's life has the highest cost-performance ratio and can live for more than ten thousand years.

The effect of the holy fruit is not as good as the Undying Medicine, but nine holy fruits superimposed together are worth half an Undying Medicine, and then eating the Nine Wonders Medicine is one and a half lives of lifespan.
