Three days later, a huge planet appeared in Han Yan's line of sight. This planet was shockingly large, and wasn't too far off from the Star Region's Center of Star Domain's main star. Looking carefully, these halos were entirely condensed from the immense power of ice. Although the temperature inside was not as low as the polar ice pond's, it was still around a hundred degrees below zero. If a normal cultivator wanted to enter the planet, it would be extremely difficult. Anyone below Earthly Spirit Stage would undoubtedly die. Even if it was cultivators above Earthly Spirit Stage, without powerful spells or powerful magic treasures, they could forget about entering the planet unscathed.
Han Yan raised his head, looked at the planet in front of him, and said seriously: "We're almost there."
These three days passed by extremely happily. Every day, Xiao Yuyao would talk about some happy things with Ruoxue Zhu and sometimes, Han Yan would also interrupt them. The relationship between the three of them suddenly became much closer. After all, Xiao Yuyao had already treated her as a good sister, and it was impossible for Han Yan to not accept her.
Xiao Yuyao pulled Ruoxue Zhu and stood up, then walked to Han Yan's side. The former asked: "Han Yan, the cold energy around this planet is too dense, Ruoxue's cultivation is too low, I'm afraid …"
Han Yan smiled and gave her a look that she did not need to worry about, saying: "You have forgotten how we entered the polar ice pond, this cold energy is not able to harm the Ruoxue."
Xiao Yuyao sighed, and said: "I understand everything you've said, but this is the Patriarch Tantai's place. If he really uses that thing, what if he finds out?"
"Are you saying that he wants to steal my magic treasure?" Han Yan shook his head and said, "With his cultivation level, which one of them isn't a smart old fox? They would definitely not steal from me. Besides, since he's been able to live on this planet for so many years, if I'm not wrong, he's also a cultivator of an ice type, so he's not interested in my magic treasure.
Hearing Han Yan say such certainty, Xiao Yuyao did not think anymore, and asked: "Should we enter with you, or enter the storage bag first?"
When these words came out, Ruoxue Zhu could not help but be startled, and said: "Enter the storage bag?"
Xiao Yuyao nodded his head, and laughed: "A normal storage bag, of course you cannot let a cultivator stay inside. The storage bag Han Yan is different, as it has opened up a small dimension inside, staying inside would not be any different from staying outside. If I hadn't been staying in the storage bag, I don't know how many times I would have died. "
Ruoxue Zhu's eyes flashed, looking at Han Yan as if he was looking at a monster.
Han Yan was quiet for a while, then said: "You guys should enter the storage bag! Since the Patriarch Tantai is a Sky Light Stage Ranker, if they really fight, it will be difficult to deal with them … "
The two girls looked at each other, then turned into streams of light and entered the storage bag s.
Thus, after another hour of flight, Han Yan arrived before Navy Tide. He did not enter the planet, and cupped his fists towards the starry sky, respectfully saying, "Senior, junior Han Yan is here, may I meet you …" His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with a piercing power, as it instantly pierced through the planet's cold layer and entered its interior.
After a while, an old voice came from the planet, "Come in! I've been waiting for you here for a long time. "
Judging from the voice, the other party was at least sixty years old.
Although Patriarch Tantai agreed to allow Han Yan to enter the planet, he did not expel the cold energy. It could be seen that he wanted to test Han Yan's abilities.
Han Yan knew what the other party was planning and he coldly snorted in his heart as he waved his sleeves in front of him. In the next moment, a strange energy released by the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal fell into the dense cold energy. The cold energy dispersed at an alarming rate, revealing a hole that was as tall as a person. Han Yan's figure flashed and entered the planet.
Cang Lan Star. It's the largest planet within the stars." Although the planet was very large, it wasn't much different from the other planets. It was just that its original size had expanded by a lot. To put it simply, there was a continent, a mountain range, some plains, and even a lake in the Arctic Icecap.
Cang Lan Star was the same, but the land was larger, the mountain ranges were longer, and the plains covered an even wider area. The only thing that did not change was the polar ice pond, and even the temperature of the lakewater did not change in the slightest. Looking at this scene, plus the planets he saw earlier, Han Yan was sure that these planets were not formed naturally, but were deliberately created by cultivators. If not, with the power of the heavens and the earth, how could they appear in such a remote place with so many planets, and the structure of the planets be exactly the same?
Han Yan just could not imagine how high the cultivation base of the people who created these planets were back then.
Just as this thought appeared, on the tallest mountain on the planet, Patriarch Tantai's voice sounded again, "No need to look for me, am I here?"
Han Yan's voice flashed and landed on the platform on the mountain peak. Then, he walked towards the cave residence not far away.
There were no array formations laid outside of the cave, so Han Yan quickly entered the cave. The tunnel was not long, and in the blink of an eye, he was within the internal cavity. The internal cavity in front of him was not very big as well, at most, it could fit around a dozen people. The cave was empty, and he did not even see the most common stone bed. On the ground in the center of the cave, there was a grey-green prayer mat, and on it sat an old man with completely white hair.
Without a doubt, the old man was the master of this place, and was known as the Patriarch Tantai.
Patriarch Tantai wore a green Daoist robe, and sat atop a prayer mat. It was as if he were one with the group, and it was difficult to separate the two. He had his eyes closed and a solemn expression on his face, as if he had entered cultivation and was comprehending the world after some thought. If one looked more closely, they would be surprised to discover that there wasn't the slightest bit of aura on his body. He looked just like a dead man.
Seeing this, Han Yan's heart thumped once, before instantly confirming that the old man in front of him was definitely not ordinary.
Just at this time, Patriarch Tantai spoke, "Your subordinates have already been imprisoned by me. They said that you have something to show me, take it out!" With that, he opened his eyes, which shone with a bright light, and said with a stern voice, "You'd better not play any tricks for me, or else neither you nor those two women will leave this place alive."
Hearing this, Han Yan's face darkened, once again recognizing the power of Patriarch Tantai.
Han Yan did not waste his breath, he patted the storage bag on his waist, and after a flash of light, the temperature of the air increased by a lot. In his palm, there was an additional golden-red crystal card. It was the Fire Dragon Crystal. Han Yan raised the Fire Dragon Crystal and said in a deep voice, "Senior, this time, I, Han, have come not to make you an enemy, but to cooperate with you …"
Patriarch Tantai glanced at the Fire Dragon Crystal, his expression did not change at all, as if he had already known this would happen. He raised his head, sized up Han Yan for a moment, and nodded: "With your Earth Spirit late great perfection's realm, you can actually enter the polar ice pond, presumably it has something to do with the treasure you used to enter Cang Lan Star!"2
Han Yan had to admit that the Patriarch Tantai's might had indeed exceeded his imagination. When they first met, the other party had already seen through him and could no longer leave behind any secrets in front of him. This cultivation level was truly terrifying. Han Yan secretly raised his vigilance, but did not deny anything. He opened his mouth and said: "Senior is right, I do indeed have a treasure that can resist the cold energy, if …"
As if he knew what Han Yan was going to say, he waved his hand and said, "Don't raise your guard against me. I won't take your things, and I won't kill people as I please." He paused for a moment, then said: "In thousands and millions of years, you are the first person to cooperate with me, and did you think that since I can see through your secrets, I will not be able to enter the polar ice pond?"
From the moment Han Yan saw the Patriarch Tantai, he suspected that the Patriarch Tantai had entered the polar ice pond before. When he took out the Fire Dragon Crystal, Patriarch Tantai's expression, that was even more certain. Not only had Patriarch Tantai entered the polar ice pond, he had also acquired the Fire Dragon Crystal in the cave. If that was really the case, then Han Yan was suspicious in his heart, why did the other party not enter the Ancient ruins but instead stay here?
Just as Han Yan was puzzled, Patriarch Tantai suddenly said: "The legend is not false, the passage does exist."
Han Yan laughed bitterly, and cupped his fists: "Junior does not understand, senior please enlighten me."
The Patriarch Tantai didn't reply to Han Yan. After that, he stroked the beard on his chin and said: "Let me ask you, why did you enter the Ancient ruins?"
Han Yan did not lie and said truthfully: "I heard that there is a type of Pill in the relic called Spirit Concentrating Pills, which can help cultivators recover their soul and recover their memories. I, Han, have gone for that Pill … "
Patriarch Tantai was slightly startled, then looked at Han Yan in astonishment and replied: "It's true."
"Indeed." Han Yan's expression did not change as he nodded and said.
"I never thought that you would actually go for the Pill …" The Patriarch Tantai's eyes flashed, and he said slowly, "All the cultivators in the world want to enter the Ancient ruins, it is all to raise their cultivation, to obtain even more powerful techniques and treasures. If my guess is right, it should be related to the two girls in the storage bag! Oh, there are still two remnant souls left … "
Han Yan laughed bitterly and said: "Senior's eyesight is truly great, to be able to see something like this."
The Patriarch Tantai smiled, then stood up and said: "It's not that I have good eyesight, but my cultivation method is a little special." After saying that, he changed the topic and suddenly said, "Do you know why I have never entered the passage? This was because once the passage was opened, it would not close for a short period of time, and more and more people would enter the Ancient ruins. If you do not have enough strength, entering is no different from courting death. "
"Kid, you must think this through clearly. Once you take this step, there will be no room for turning back." The Patriarch Tantai stared at Han Yan, and said word by word, "I have never gone in, I just wanted to wait until I have practiced enough before advancing. Unfortunately, I have been unable to comprehend the realm of the divine will stage for these past few years, and the time limit is approaching, I no longer have any choice. "As for you, you are still young, you still have a chance in the future …"
Han Yan was startled, she never thought that the Patriarch Tantai would say such a thing. She subconsciously said, "Senior …"
He interrupted Han Yan and said slowly: "Brat, you don't have to thank me. I'm only saying these words to you because I think it's a bit of a pity for you to die in Ancient ruins. Although the Ancient ruins is filled with treasures, it is still filled with dangers. If one is not careful, one will be killed by the attack array and be ambushed by other cultivators … "
Han Yan naturally understood the circumstances. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What are the chances of survival?"
The Patriarch Tantai seemed to know a bit about the Ancient ruins. Without thinking, he said, "Coming out alive is even harder than breaking through to the Divine Intent realm." He paused for a moment, and continued, "Over the years, there have been a lot of people entering the Ancient ruins, and every million years, a group of cultivators will enter. However, other than the earliest batch of Immortal Wind Clan cultivators that managed to successfully come out and establish the immortal realm, the rest were all killed. "
"After the immortal realm was destroyed, all of the Immortal Wind Clan's cultivators were killed. The secret of how to come out of Ancient ruins alive has become a mystery … "
