The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 4 I Ate the Nine Wonderful Immortal Fruit

Liu Shan and Ye Fan were motionless in front of the bronze coffin, meditating. They gave people a feeling of being ethereal and ethereal, as if they were about to fly away into the sky.

After Pang Bo noticed it, he stood guard beside them vigilantly. He knew that these two people must have gained something, after all, this is how it is described in the fairy tale novels.

The sound of the Tao rang out over and over again, and Liu Shan memorized it over and over in his heart. Only after he had deeply engraved those hundreds of words in his heart did he slowly open his eyes.

Although he didn't know the meaning of each divine text yet, he knew that as long as he kept it in mind, he would definitely understand it when he reached a higher level of cultivation. Moreover, when refining weapons in the early stage, he could also add these "words" to increase their power.

Not long after, a light appeared in the bronze coffin. It was the Buddhist artifacts in everyone's hands that were glowing.

Afterwards, the energy of all the Buddha artifacts gathered into thousands of rays of light, which scattered towards the surrounding bronze walls and merged into them. Facing the scene before them, everyone was a little overwhelmed and could only look around blindly.

Liu Shan noticed that the star map on the bronze wall was flickering. In the darkness, this star map looked like real stars, dotted in the darkness.

"Look, one of the rays of light is extending very quickly, approaching a pattern that looks like the Big Dipper."

Liu Shan looked at the star map and thought of the Emperor Burial Star in his heart. We finally arrived at our destination.

After a while, the ancient bronze coffin suddenly shook violently, as if it had landed? Everyone was very nervous, afraid that they would encounter the same fate as on Mars.

At this time, the ancient coffin emitted a burst of light, protecting everyone. Then there was another sound, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was cracking. The bronze coffin slowly opened a gap, and then the coffin lid slid to the side, and slowly everything stabilized.

Light! Light had finally reappeared! The light shone in from above, warm and peaceful.

Everyone looked out from the coffins. It was a world full of life, with fresh air, dazzling sunshine, and the fragrance of plants. It was far from the dark sky, blood-red earth, and oppressive atmosphere of Mars.

Everyone climbed out of the ancient coffin one after another and looked at this world full of flowers and trees. Everyone was filled with excitement and no longer had to worry.

After everyone climbed out of the coffin and carefully observed the surrounding situation, the bronze coffin behind them made a loud noise and then slid into the abyss. Everyone realized that they were standing on the edge of a cliff.

The ancient bronze coffin was gone, so everyone could only begin to explore the surroundings carefully.

"Look! There is a stone tablet over there." a classmate suddenly shouted.

Hearing the sound, everyone gathered around.

"What's it written?" someone asked

"Ancient forbidden!" Ye Fan said. He recognized these words. They were the same bell and tripod characters as the ones on Mars.

"Ancient Forbidden?"

"What is forbidden?"

Everyone was talking about it, and no one felt that this word was a good word.

"It should be an ancient forbidden land or an ancient restricted area." Liu Shan said to everyone.

He knew that this was the ancient forbidden land, one of the seven forbidden areas of Beidou. The dojo of the ruthless emperor and the great saint body. At this time, it was unknown whether the ruthless emperor had awakened, but the eyes of the great saint body must be watching here!

After such a long journey and escape, everyone was exhausted.

Someone's stomach growled, and no one knew it. It seemed that no one had eaten for a long time.

After discussing it, they decided to go find some food to eat, otherwise they would not have the energy to run away if they encountered danger.

However, in this unknown place, it is better to go together with a few people, so that we can help each other even if there is danger.

Liu Shan followed Ye Fan and Pang Bo and walked in one direction. The time for a complete transformation had come.

After the three of them had walked for quite some time, Pangbo suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a spring ahead, so the three of them headed in that direction.

In a piece of open space, a spring was bubbling with water, and around it grew thirteen half-meter-high small trees, each with a small red fruit.

They could smell a strange aroma from a distance, which aroused the taste buds of the three people. The three of them swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Liu Shan's heart was even more excited, this was the legendary immortal medicine, the Nine Wonders Immortal Tree, which the Henren Emperor specially prepared for Ye Fan to build his foundation.

As long as you eat it, your future practice can be said to be smooth sailing. It can also rejuvenate you and turn you into the most suitable age for practice.

The Nine Wonderful Immortal Trees were originally the exclusive immortal elixir of life for the Great Emperor, but were later divided into nine parts by the Ruthless Emperor. The magical fruits on each tree have their own magical uses, and when combined together they still form the immortal elixir of life.

It is extremely magical. After taking it, you can also take other immortality pills without any conflict. The ruthless emperor prepared it specifically for Ye Fan to help him open up the bitter sea. After all, the holy body bitter sea is as hard as divine iron.

Liu Shan suppressed the greed in his heart and said to Ye Fan and Pang Bo beside him, "This fruit is so fragrant. I have been hungry for so long, and finally I have something to eat."

Ye Fan said carefully: "I wonder if this bright fruit is poisonous in the wild?" Liu Shan was waiting for this sentence, "I'll try one first. If it's not poisonous, you can eat it. If it's poisonous, you can save me."

After saying that, Liu Shan stepped forward and picked a fruit.

He wiped it and put it directly into his mouth. The moment the red fruit entered his mouth, the pulp exploded in his mouth, and a fragrance went down his throat and rushed straight to his internal organs.

Liu Shan felt that he had never eaten anything this delicious before. It was different from the delicacies he had eaten before. It was not only delicious, but also made his soul feel like it was throbbing. "Ah, it's so delicious!" Liu Shan couldn't help but exclaim.

After eating the fruit, a fragrance surrounded Liu Shan. Ye Fan and Pang Bo could no longer resist the fragrance and went forward to pick the fruit.

"It's better to be poisoned to death than to starve to death." Pangbo stuffed it into his mouth without wiping it.

"Is it because I'm too hungry? Why do I feel that this fruit tastes better than anything I've eaten before?"

There were thirteen fruits. Each person ate four, and only the last one was left. The three looked at each other.

"I was so hungry that I forgot to leave some for others."

"It would be too ugly to take one fruit back, let's share it." Liu Shan suggested, and Pang Bo nodded in agreement, so the three of them shared the last fruit.

After eating the fruit, Liu Shan felt full of strength, as if his body had become more transparent and his mind had become purer.

After eating the fruit, Liu Shan looked at the spring water and said, "Let's drink some spring water. This spring water tastes better than the mineral water in my hand, and it smells fragrant, so it must be extraordinary."

"The strangeness of these fruits is probably related to these springs."

So the three of them lay down beside the spring and drank from it in big gulps. The spring water was light and tasteless, but there was a fragrance lingering in their mouths.

After taking a few big gulps, Liu Shan felt that he couldn't drink any more, so he followed Pang Bo's example and poured out all the water in the mineral water bottle he carried with him and filled it with the spring water.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill and rested for a while, they headed back.

Because their bodies were filled with fragrance after eating the red fruits, the three of them were still ridiculed by Liu Yunzhi and his gang.

"When you're out and about, you're just thinking about eating alone!"

"You guys were stealing chocolates on the road, and you thought I didn't see it, right? Why didn't you think about sharing it with everyone?" Pangbo retorted, pointing at those people.

Those people didn't notice that Pangbo saw them eating snacks secretly.

"Everyone, stop arguing and try to find a way out of this area," someone advised.

Liu Shan grabbed Pang Bo and was too lazy to argue with this group of people. He planned to catch them later and feed them to the tiger directly.

After discussing it, they chose a direction and walked in. They walked until dark, and they didn't see any people for who knows how long.

After some discussion, everyone was very tired, so they decided to rest for a night and set off again tomorrow.

Along the way, everyone picked a lot of wild fruits, and after eating them, everyone no longer worried about food.

Liu Shan and his two companions had eaten red fruits before, but they did not expect that the red fruits were very filling and could resist hunger. None of them were hungry, so they did not eat any.

However, Liu Shan still picked some wild fruits from the ancient forbidden land and carried them with him. Even if they were not very effective medicines, they should have some magical effects.

At midnight, the terrifying roar of the Great Saint Body and the sound of the iron chains frightened everyone so much that they dared not sleep. Liu Shan was not afraid, but it was too noisy, so he could only lie there half asleep and half awake.

The next day, at dawn, everyone was frightened all night, so after cleaning themselves up, they hurried on their way.

After walking for a few hours, everyone saw a group of palaces in the distance.

'That should be the ruins of the Emperor's ancient heaven,' Liu Shan thought.

Afterwards, everyone discussed it and headed towards the palace complex, as everyone thought that the palace complex might be inhabited. Liu Shan didn't say much and just followed the others.

Later, Liu Yunzhi and his group were still planning to rob Liu Shan and the other two of their Buddhist artifacts. Liu Shan had been keeping an eye on them and took the opportunity to expose them.

They wanted to resist at first, but the three people who had taken the elixir of immortality became extremely powerful and easily subdued them.

We are classmates, but you always want to stare at the Buddhist instruments in our hands. We are worried about traveling with you. Liu Shan said to the other students.

The other students were not in a position to try to persuade them, after all, Liu Yunzhi and his friends were caught red-handed when they were planning to commit a treacherous act.

So Liu Yunzhi and his gang were tied up by Liu Shan and the other two and thrown into the tiger's den. With the roar of the tiger, they also went offline.

No one knew how long they had been walking.

"Why do I feel like my whole body is getting hotter and hotter?" a girl whispered.

"I feel so too."

Afterwards, everyone's skin seemed to be dripping with blood, and their bodies were all red. This was the power of the ancient forbidden land, and it began to deprive everyone of their vitality.

Liu Shan felt as if all the flesh and blood in his body was being cut by a knife. It was an unbearable pain. He fell to the ground wailing, then rolled and screamed helplessly, and finally he fainted in agony.
