Everlasting Divine Emperor

A team of two hundred thousand cultivators were resting outside the gates of Phoenix Restaurant on the same day.

When Ye Daoxuan asked if anyone was willing to join Phoenix Hall, roughly one third of the martial practitioners hesitated for a moment before choosing to become Phoenix Hall's disciples. As for the martial practitioners closest to Ye Daoxuan, they unwaveringly followed him to create a new sect.

One third of this number was within Ye Daoxuan's expectations. After all, those martial artists that had chosen to join Phoenix Restaurant felt that they had just arrived and had lived two lives, choosing a powerful sect to rely on was the best choice. Firstly, they didn't have to be afraid of being bullied by the other experts of the Holy Spirit Continent, and secondly, they didn't have to worry about the resources needed for cultivation.

Ye Daoxuan had a lot of enemies in the Holy Spirit Continent. His strength was not strong enough, so when the sect was first built, he would definitely encounter many difficulties. With a large number of warriors willing to follow him, it was already a rare feat.

And Phoenix Restaurant had tens of thousands of disciples in one go. Although the fish and the dragons were mixed together, the good and the bad, at least they had infused the entire sect with a new power.

The next day, Ye Daoxuan left Phoenix Brothel alone, and went out to look for the place to establish his sect. As for the hundred thousand martial practitioners who were willing to follow him, they would stay at Phoenix Brothel's side for the time being, under the care of Phoenix Brothel's disciples.

Although Xin Ku and Ye Daoxuan had said that they could try to establish a sect in the forbidden area, barging into the forbidden area was simply too dangerous, Ye Daoxuan decided that they would first go to another place to take a look. Perhaps once their fates were good enough, they would be able to find a suitable place to build a sect to cultivate in.

However, Ye Daoxuan had travelled for millions of miles on the flying spirit artifact, and just as he had said, all the beautiful mountains and rivers, as well as places rich in true essence, were occupied by sects of all sizes.

With Ye Daoxuan's strength, he could easily exterminate a small sect and occupy their territory. But, the territory of a small sect couldn't contain several hundred thousand people. Not to mention that their true essence was far richer than those of those large sects.

As for the territories of the major sects, Ye Daoxuan currently didn't have the ability to take their place, so he could only stare blankly at them.

Ye Daoxuan flew without a destination in mind as he unknowingly approached the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Although the Life and Death Springs in the core area of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was classified as a forbidden area for fighters, which caused the Holy Spirit Continent's warriors' expressions to change, it didn't affect the warriors from all over the place to come visit.

There was another legend that stirred up the warriors' spirits regarding the forbidden area of the Holy Spirit Continent.

According to some of the seniors of the Holy Land, these forbidden areas were formed during the great war millions of years ago. After some of the super powerful warriors had fallen in that great war, their bones, blood, clothes, spirit artifacts, spirit pills, and even a wisp of their will were enough to create a terrifying pressure in a certain area, making it impossible for ordinary warriors to get close to them.

Over tens of thousands of years, the areas where the super strong warriors had fallen had often been visited by warriors, hoping to find some treasure there. However, none of the warriors that had entered had escaped, and all of them had fallen.

To warriors, the forbidden area was full of mystery and was full of fear, but at the same time, it was also a great opportunity. Thus, at the edge of the forbidden area of the Holy Spirit Continent, many warriors would gather every year in an attempt to test their luck.

The Spring of Life and Death at the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge was one of the forbidden areas that martial practitioners frequently "visited." The so-called "visit" was only to linger around the Spring of Life and Death.

The Thousand Beast City was located at the southern foot of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. It was a city with a history of a million years.

The Ten Thousand Beast City was not an ordinary city, but a large sect in the Western Xuan Region. The one hundred thousand residents of the city were all disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast City.

As one of the top sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, the overall strength of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was actually not inferior to the Ten Great Sects of the Holy Spirit Continent, or even slightly stronger than the majority of the Ten Great Sects. It was just that they, like some of the hidden sects, were not interested in participating in the competition for the rankings.

There were still many sects like the WanShou City in the entire Holy Spirit Continent. If they all sent their disciples to compete for the top ten sects, then all the other sects, with the exception of the Martial God Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect, would probably be pushed out of the way.

The disciples of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts were famous for their beast taming skills in the Holy Spirit Continent. The hundred thousand disciples of the city each had at least one beast pet.

Tens of thousands of years ago, a Great Sect Master had set his eyes on the position of the WanShou City, and wanted to take it for himself, leading hundreds of thousands of disciples to invade, but in the end, a hundred thousand disciples of the WanShou City used beast taming techniques to summon two hundred thousand spirit beasts from the WanShou Mountain, then they used their overwhelming power to launch a counterattack, destroying the strong enemy in one go. From then on, they would become famous in the Holy Spirit Continent, and no one would dare to provoke them.

The current City Lord of Ten Thousand Beast City was called Lei Peng, a powerhouse at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. This kind of strength, in the entire Holy Spirit Continent, was considered one of the strongest, it was just that Lei Peng focused on his cultivation, wholeheartedly pursuing the peak of the martial way, and never participated in battles outside. Thus, Lei Peng's reputation in the Holy Spirit Continent was not as big as the Phoenix Tower Lord Xuanyuan Hanxue's.

The Ten Thousand Beast Ridge had a Spring of Life and Death, and every year, it attracted a large number of warriors from all over the Holy Spirit Continent to explore. Since the City was close to the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge, it became the temporary resting place for the warriors.

The current Ten Thousand Beast City was divided into inner city and outer city. The inner city was for one hundred thousand disciples to live in, while other people were not allowed to enter, and the outer city was a new development that was several times larger than the inner city. It was specially built for foreign martial artists to live in.

The entire Ten Thousand Beast City was rich with true essence, and it was also a rare cultivation land. Some foreign martial artists were reluctant to leave, so they settled down in the outer city and helped each other out.

When Ye Daoxuan passed by the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge, he thought of the Spring of Life and Death, and then thought of his previous conversation with Xin Bian. He couldn't help but be moved, and so he entered the outer city of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and stayed there, preparing to explore the edges of the Spring of Life and Death in the next two days to see if he could find anything.

Actually, there were many practitioners who shared the same thoughts as Ye Daoxuan.

After entering the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Ye Daoxuan paid ten Holy Stones to stay in one of the inns. He also asked the waiter for some information about the Life and Death Springs in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, gaining a better understanding of the Spring of Life and Death.

According to the waiter, during the battle thousands of years ago, an expert with an earth-shattering power had fallen by the Spring of Life and Death, resulting in this forbidden land. That expert grasped the laws of time, and as long as he was enveloped by his barrier, his head would instantly be covered in white hair and his life would be exterminated.

As long as a martial artist approached, he or she would be deprived of his or her life force, and would quickly age to death. Only when a martial artist was strong enough to surpass the spirit of the powerful martial artist next to the Spring of Life and Death could he or she disregard the rules of time and enter the Spring of Life and the Spring of Life and Death.

However, it was said that the strength of that powerhouse was unparalleled in this world. Thus, in the last tens of millions of years, among the martial artists that tried to approach the Spring of Life and Death, besides some of the top masters, no other martial artist had escaped.

The peak experts who were near the Spring of Life and Death and survived weren't completely unharmed. Due to the impact of the laws of time, their life force was gone, and the instant they exited the Forbidden Land of Life and Death, they aged by several hundred years. It could be said to be a heavy price.

He thought that if he were to approach the Spring of Life and Death, although he would have the Bodhi Spirit Tree and the Bodhi Spirit Fruit, if these things were unable to resist the corrosion of the laws of time within the Spring of Life and Death, then the situation would become dire. If it were any lighter, it would instantly deprive him of several hundred years of life, and if it was any heavier, he would directly perish.

When he thought about how he was still in his youth and how he would turn into a white-haired old man if he were to be deprived of several hundred years of life, Ye Daoxuan couldn't help but shiver. He also hesitated about this trip to the Spring of Life and Death.

At midnight, Ye Daoxuan was cultivating cross-legged in his room when he suddenly felt a familiar aura. However, this aura did not come from Ye Daoxuan's friends, but rather from the disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect.

However, that bloody aura was gone almost instantly. When Ye Wen's Profound God Convention was spread out for a thousand miles to investigate, he realized that he could no longer catch that aura.

"Maybe it's just passing by!"

Ye Daoxuan was on guard, but he also felt a bit excited. He was wary that if there really were disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect here, they might be coming for him; excited that after so long, they finally found the whereabouts of disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect. If he could catch them, he might be able to find the Blood Shadow Sect's nest along the way.

Ye Daoxuan was seated in the lotus position, quietly meditating. He didn't discover any traces of that bloody aura again until dawn. He couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Ye Daoxuan pushed the door open and prepared to leave to settle the bill, when suddenly he heard a loud rumbling sound mixed with the roars of spirit beasts. He frowned, and when he saw the other warriors in the inn jump out one after another and fly into the sky, he also rode his divine rainbow and flew high into the sky. He hovered in the air, looking into the distance to see what was happening.
