Chapter 200: The Ancient Race Emerges

"Ye Fan, where is the Undying Divine Medicine you spoke of?"

"Why are there still no traces?"

A crowd of figures surrounded him densely, pinning Ye Fan in the very center.

Ye Fan wore an expression of reluctance, repeating continuously: "How about we just leave? This place is extremely dangerous; a moment of carelessness could invite a fatal disaster."

"Speak quickly, lead the way! Whether it is dangerous or not is for us to judge; it has nothing to do with you."

"All you need to do is prove your innocence. I, for one, would like to see what place could be more dangerous than the Seven Forbidden Lands of the Eastern Wasteland."

From an extremely distant region, Zhang Xuan sensed the conversation of that group of figures.

While he was already gazing toward that area, that group of figures remained completely unaware.

Led by the Western Queen Mother of Yaochi and the Saint Masters of various Holy Lands and aristocratic families, a group of people, complemented by numerous Supreme Elders, surrounded Ye Fan, Sheng Huangzi, and the Black Emperor in the center, each speaking in turn to urge Ye Fan to lead the way.

Then, under Zhang Xuan's gaze, he watched as Ye Fan led this batch of figures to the entrance of the Wanlong Nest.

With the help of the Western Queen Mother of Yaochi, Ye Fan walked behind the crowd without leaving a trace, and then the group of Saint Masters joined forces to continuously bombard the portal at the entrance of the Wanlong Nest.

Zhang Xuan felt his scalp tingle just watching, even from such a vast distance, and even though he had already reached the level of the strongest below a Saint.

He felt that these people were courting death.

However, confirming this matter was enough; the current situation was sufficient, and there was no need for Zhang Xuan to intervene further.

"Ye Fan has arrived here following the original rhythm, slightly faster than before. In that case, I can borrow that Immortal Treasure Map from Ye Fan later."

After his thoughts were settled, Zhang Xuan took a deep look at that area, then turned and left without hesitation.

In the coming period, a batch of figures in this area would certainly die, and quite a few Saint Masters would perish—the Saint Master of the Yin-Yang Sect, the Saint Master of the Wanchu Sacred Land, and the like.

Zhang Xuan did not care much; he simply left the area in a leisurely manner. In any case, news from here would spread before long, and he could just go find Ye Fan then.

"After such a long time, there should be more progress on the Shencheng side. I might as well go over and take a look."

Zhang Xuan rubbed his chin. His powerful strength gave him more confidence. He tore through space directly with his physical body, and after confirming the direction, he locked onto that area.

With just a few leaps, he had arrived once again at the long-absent Shencheng.

Shencheng remained as simple and natural as it was in the beginning, like a colossal behemoth standing tall upon this land.

There were even more figures coming and going, and it was becoming increasingly prosperous.

Numerous top-tier figures were gathered here, all engaged in discussion.

"Who among the contenders in the Immortal Embryo Realm will be able to reach the end? And into whose hands will the strongest Four-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid fall?"

"I feel the Saint Masters of the various Holy Lands are the rightful candidates. They are the figures with the most brilliant strength and realms at present. Perhaps the Desolate Ancient Ji Family, the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family, and the Feng Clan have a chance."

"Not necessarily. Haven't you heard that the top powerhouses from the Central Plains have also come? Each of the Imperial Lords of the Four Great Imperial Clans of the Central Plains possesses unimaginable power; perhaps they can achieve the final victory."

"If you ask me, perhaps that peerless genius from nine thousand years ago who could contend with Gai Jiuyou, the Zhonghuang, can be invincible in heaven and earth at this realm. I heard he was also dug out."

"It could also be other figures. Haven't you heard that recently, Ancient Race members sealed underground have been emerging one after another, clamoring to expel the various Holy Lands and great sects from their original territories? They want to regain control of this land. I heard there are Ancestor King-level figures walking outside."

"If they truly take action, it will likely be earth-shattering."

"Only a few figures have appeared so far. Years ago, there were such individual Ancient Race members who emerged, but they didn't stir up much of a ripple. Furthermore, this Ancestor King who emerged, after slaughtering a city, ended up encountering an old Human Race man and was beaten to death with three punches, shocking the world."

"Our Human Race is not without powerhouses. Moreover, for such fierce and violent figures, the God King will definitely not share the strongest bloodline evolution fluid with them."

Numerous figures were arguing, while Zhang Xuan mingled in the crowd, silent and listening quietly.

He found it quite interesting.

"Did Gai Jiuyou truly take action? The Ancient Race has indeed emerged ahead of schedule. It seems that in the coming years, the entire world will be very lively. There will certainly be no lack of opponents among the younger generation. In that case, my strength and realm are still somewhat lacking."

Zhang Xuan sighed slightly, but he did not feel any anxiety.

At the same time, he was also somewhat curious.

"Who is that Human Race Saint who took action? He is not familiar to many, so I suppose it shouldn't be the God King. Many are also familiar with that Old Madman, so it shouldn't be him either. Then who could it be? Could it be that Cai Jia Da Sheng?"

Zhang Xuan secretly thought of a few figures, but upon closer reflection, he felt it was wrong. That Cai Jia Da Sheng helped Ye Fan resolve the Saint Body's great tribulation at the Dragon Transformation Pool; from that moment on, his reputation spread throughout the world, and he was definitely familiar to many.

If it were him who took action, many would also be very familiar with him.

His heart held a slight doubt, but Zhang Xuan pushed these doubts aside; in any case, he would get the answer before long.

Taking a few steps toward the vicinity of the Dragon Transformation Pool, he found this area had become deserted, unlike the bustle of the past.

Zhang Xuan learned that because the contention in the following secret realms was becoming increasingly intense and the prizes involved were becoming more and more generous, the Dragon Transformation Pool could no longer serve as a venue for major battles. Now, many major battles were often conducted outside the city, where special arenas had been built, and countless cultivators were gathered in that area.

"Kongque Wang, with the help of the strongest bloodline evolution fluid, has broken through the threshold of Severing Dao and has truly become a Severing Dao King, laughing proudly between heaven and earth."

"And Crow Daoist and Red Dragon Daoist are both gathered among the Demon Race. I heard that when the God King was refining divine medicine and healing himself, the Demon Race also contributed great effort, and thus obtained a portion of the strongest bloodline evolution fluid. Before long, I imagine Crow Daoist and Red Dragon Daoist will also step into the Zhan Dao Realm one after another. In this way, won't the Demon Race be invincible in the world?"

"How could our Human Race be inferior to these Demon Race members? Whether it is the contemporary Saint Master of the Desolate Ancient Ji Family or the figures of the older generation, they are all invincible and terrifying. If they can obtain the Four-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid, they can all break through that threshold."

The entire Shencheng was filled with a frenzied atmosphere, with many figures gathering.

And all kinds of news were spreading, shaking people's hearts and minds, leaving them unable to control themselves.

Listening to it all, Zhang Xuan felt a sense of excitement, wishing he could go and snatch the strongest bloodline evolution fluid immediately.

Then he touched his bosom.

"Ah, I haven't even finished using my Five-Turn strongest bloodline evolution fluid, and they are fighting over the Four-Turn. Forget it, forget it."

Thinking this, his state of mind immediately became much more peaceful.

As he walked into the Dragon Transformation Pool, there were invisible barriers around, but upon sensing Zhang Xuan's aura, the barriers dispersed naturally; he just didn't know which Field Master had set up the formation.

Zhang Xuan walked all the way in, and before he had truly entered, he saw that great Saint of the Cai Family standing there with a smile on his face.

To Zhang Xuan's surprise, the only people in the entire Dragon Transformation Pool were this great Saint and that Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, the Hengyu Furnace.

"Why are you the only one here?"

Zhang Xuan was slightly surprised.

And walking deeper, Zhang Xuan was even more surprised; the old Daoist had not come in his true body to greet him, but rather a deity had stepped out from his Dao Palace.

The real old Daoist sat cross-legged in front of the Hengyu Furnace, and inside the Hengyu Furnace, seven-colored brilliance was flickering.

"After refining the Six-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid, Jiang Taixu felt he could make a breakthrough, so he took the initiative to head into the starry sky beyond the realm."

"With his strength as a Saint, if he were to break through, the Heavenly Tribulation would likely cause a massive impact on a single planet."

Zhang Xuan nodded, considering it understood; God King Jiang Taixu's own strength and cultivation realm were already within the Saint realm, nearing the peak.

In the original trajectory of Covering the Sky, God King Jiang Taixu was in Purple Mountain, and not long after coming out, he cut away all the Origin of his life.

Relying on this, he reached the Saint King realm in just a few short years, and he could be considered a powerhouse even among Saint Kings, facing multiple Ancient Ancestral Kings alone and defeating them.

It can be said that the God King himself was already close to the Saint King realm.

Now, many trajectories of fate have changed, and Caiyun Xianzi is still living well.

On Ye Fan's side, there is also an old Great Saint helping Ye Fan change his fate; the God King did not reach the point where he had to cut away all his Origin, but his speed of breakthrough was not much slower than the original, and was even faster.

The highest crystallization of the Eternal Star Domain, the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, is still very effective.

The God King left this place not long ago and walked into the starry sky.

Of course, he did not go too far, staying near Beidou, preparing to undergo his tribulation outside the Beidou Xing domain, so that he could have the aura imprint of an Ancient Great Emperor in the heavens and earth to give him great help, without affecting this Life Ancient Star.

"Senior Gai Jiuyou took the materials obtained from the Ji Family and the Jiang Family and went to a special weapon-refining ground to forge weapons."

"I certainly cannot refine the Nine-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, but I have great confidence in the first seven and eight turns, so there shouldn't be any problems; after all, this old bone of mine has lived for over eight thousand years."

After the old Daoist recovered his youth, he became quite lively and would even mock himself.

And after learning the reason for his ancestor's loss of control back then, this old Daoist became much more peaceful, with the resentment of the past gone from his heart, making his speech very comfortable to listen to, to the point that Zhang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"As for those two juniors, with the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, their cultivation speed in the same realm is extremely fast, and it is easy for them to reach the bottleneck of a major realm, but Senior Jiang Taixu and I both suggest that it is best for them to rely on themselves to break through major realms, rather than relying on external forces."

"Jizi also agrees with this point; he is currently sensing the threshold of the Zhandao realm and is constantly gaining insights."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid is not omnipotent; it is like how the Eternal Star Domain can imitate and replicate one top powerhouse after another, using cloning-like technology to reproduce them, but these figures still have a certain gap compared to the truly top-tier powerhouses.

Theoretically, they can replicate the strongest bloodline and the strongest physique, but the spirit, intent, and that unique perception cannot be copied.

This part must be ventured into by the individual alone; no one can change that.

When Ye Fan went to the Eternal Star Domain, he once sighed that there were many people of mid-range strength in the Eternal Star Domain, but very few truly top-tier and most powerful figures, because they borrowed technological means and basically did not need to experience too much suffering to possess extremely strong power.

Therefore, there were many deficiencies in terms of spirit and intent.

Zhang Xuan also agreed with this point.

"Was it you who killed the Ancestral King of the Ancient Race who emerged early, the one whose fame spread widely before?"

Zhang Xuan was slightly curious.

The old Daoist shook his head: "It wasn't me; it was the old man in the Stone Workshop of the Tianxuan Holy Land. It is truly incredible that he could walk so far in such an era."

When the old Daoist said this, his face was full of amazement: "In such a harsh environment, to be able to walk so far, I truly underestimated the heroes of the world."

Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, he felt a sense of it being a matter of course.

The current environment of Beidou is considered the harshest in the entire Universe, because during the Taigu period, Dou Zhan Sheng Huang wanted to use the most domineering means to become a War Immortal in this heaven and earth, but ended up meeting with a tragic failure.

At the same time, this led to the Essence of the entire Beidou heaven and earth being depleted to a terrifying degree, and the entire environment deteriorated extremely.

Over the long years, there has not been much change; subsequently, many Great Emperors appeared among the Human Race, and they all left many traces on Beidou, but the overall environment of heaven and earth remained just like this.

Combined with the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the entire Universe fell into a great decline, and the existing heaven and earth environment is very harsh.

In other parts of the Universe, and on the ancient path of the Human Race, Saints and Great Saints appear from time to time, but on Beidou, it is truly difficult.

In such an era, the Tianxuan Holy Land is an existence that defies common sense; back then, they were even glorious enough to actively attack the Forbidden Zone and actively seek to go to the Immortal Path.

Although they met with a very tragic failure, the Tianxuan Three Heroes of that year basically all survived.

After Old Madman untied his heart knot, he should have transformed from a Saint to a Saint King during this stage.

And in the Stone Workshop of the Tianxuan Holy Land, that Wei Yi is likely no less inferior to Old Madman.

"What kind of realm has he reached?"

Zhang Xuan asked while inwardly criticizing.

"You are the truly incredible monster, alright? In such a terrifying era, in a heaven and earth where the heavens and earth are cut off, you can still cultivate all the way to the peak of a Great Saint; how do you have the nerve to call others freaks?"
