The Lord of Heaven asked

Chapter 142 Living Matter
Although the ground was uneven and had some bumps, it was spacious enough for two people to walk side by side. Although the cave was unfathomable, it did not appear dark. Chaotic light flowed on the stone walls, dim and mysterious, illuminating the way ahead.

There is no danger along the way, and occasionally one can find scattered fragments of divine origin and some strange carvings, including patterns, symbols, and text, but they are all too old to be recognized, and have been severely damaged by the erosion of time and are almost impossible to connect.

Ye Xiu carefully identified these patterns and characters, and found that most of them described some prehistoric events. There were no magic or scriptures, but more about the history of the Qilin tribe.

It seemed that their clan came from the fairyland and went down to the mortal world to participate in a war, but in the end they were defeated, the entire army was wiped out, and they ended up with a tragic end.

In order to protect its offspring, the Immortal Qilin hid this nest and escaped into a secret place in heaven and earth, but in the end, it could not escape the enemy's clutches. The Qilin bloodline in the nest was slaughtered, and it has become an empty nest.

“Ancient Immortal War? Who exactly is the enemy? Even the Immortal Qilin shed blood on the battlefield and could not escape?” Ye Xiu was full of doubts. He didn’t know when the Immortal Qilin came from the Immortal Realm to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to participate in the war.

If it was the ancient era of immortals, then this place where the Qilin Immortal was hidden would have been discovered by people long ago during the chaotic ancient times.

After all, the environment of heaven and earth at that time was much better than it is now. The supreme beings could still coexist, and there were so many powerful people that it was not difficult to search all over the nine heavens and ten earths.

Therefore, Ye Xiu concluded that this fairy unicorn should have come to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths during the turbulent ancient times, wanting to avoid the disaster in the fairyland. Unexpectedly, it was hunted down by the enemy, so a great battle took place, and finally it set up this fairy hiding place before its demise.

Unfortunately, the text on the stone wall was too old and badly damaged. Even though Ye Xiu tried his best to figure out the patterns and make guesses, he could only translate a small part of it. Eighty to ninety percent of it was still incomprehensible.

"Forget it, these prehistoric events are all in the past. Besides, there is no point in knowing them." After a long time, Ye Xiu shook his head and sighed.

It is extremely difficult to explore the secrets of the ancient times of immortals and the chaotic times. The few words left behind cannot clearly describe what happened at the beginning.

If we trace back through time and space, we will find that the people of that era were extremely powerful. Their existence could erase all traces of time and space. Even if we try to trace back through time and space by force, we may suffer backlash.

Especially the ancient stars of the prehistoric times. Ye Xiu once guessed that the most powerful ancient stars of life among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were those that fell from the fairyland to the mortal world.

Such as the Honghuang Ancient Star and Feixian Star, as well as the Beidou Star Field and the Ziwei Star Field, these ancient stars of life are rich in legends and almost all of them are related to some mysterious places.

There is no need to talk about the Big Dipper and Flying Stars. All the supreme beings believe that they are the yin and yang poles in the universe and one of the two passages leading to the fairyland in the future.

Lingbao Tianzun once suppressed the immortal corpse in the Ziwei star field, and the place where he suppressed it was also a space node. The ancient star of Honghuang even has relics such as the mysterious realm of heaven and earth and the immortal hiding place, which are related to the chaotic ancient times.

It is even possible that it was arranged by Emperor Huang Tian in the chaotic ancient times. It is extremely mysterious.

"Tick tock! Tick tock!"

There was a sound of dripping water coming from the front. The deep part of the cave gradually became a little damp. There were water droplets wandering on the rock wall, colorful and surrounded by chaotic energy, which was very beautiful. With a dripping sound, the water fell to the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like jade beads breaking, making the ancient cave even more quiet.

Ye Xiu walked in the cave that was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, his heart pounding with emotion. From the depths of the immortal nest flowed a stream of immortal essence, which was extremely holy, carrying the energy of longevity and accompanied by immortal substances.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the aura emanating from the Qilin Immortal Treasure, which actually has the flavor of immortality. If one can obtain it, it will definitely be an astonishing fortune.

Soon, they came to a road with a towering stone gate, shining divine light, and lingering fairy air. Immortal matter was overflowing, chaos was surging, and only an inexplicable Taoist rhyme was flowing.

The cave was filled with chaos and mist, and everything was grey and blurry. It was as if one had come to the time before the creation of the universe and the beginning of time, when there was no distinction between yin and yang, and between clear and turbid.

"Boom!"

At this moment, something strange happened. The Immortal Cave suddenly gushed out a vast immortal light, brilliant and dazzling. Countless flying immortal light rains fell, crystal clear and holy, with a fragrance that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze. "Bang!"

The fairy light was hazy, the fairy mist was floating, and the Qilin ascending to heaven and earth was too terrifying. Strands of divine chains of order were interconnected, sparkling and brilliant, overflowing with rosy clouds, rustling, and exuding boundless fairy power. It brought bloody murderous intent, and attacked like the Milky Way rolling back. The dozens of people in the front turned into pus and blood as soon as they came into contact with it, without even a groan.

Inside the Xianzang Cave, there is an ancient road that leads directly to the Qilin's nest. It is so wide and vast that it can accommodate thirty to fifty people passing side by side. The entire road is carved with hard ancient chaotic materials, and it looks weathered and old.

Normally, this place is almost inaccessible as it is sealed by a unique array pattern that is difficult to break. However, today, because it is too old, a flaw has finally appeared.

Above the head, the black rocks are dotted with bright pearls, shining brightly and illuminating everything below clearly.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that they are not night-shining pearls, but brilliant stars that have been refined and embedded in rocks to be used as bright lamps.

This passage stretches for thousands of miles, and there is a star dotted every few feet. That would require at least hundreds of thousands of stars to be refined.

It is worthy of being the supreme beast of the ancient immortal era, and is as powerful as a true immortal. This kind of work is truly astonishing.

Ye Xiu even suspected that the fallen Qilin might have touched the Immortal King realm before his death, otherwise, after such a long time, there would still be such rich longevity matter.

"It feels so good!" Ye Xiu closed his eyes and enjoyed it, almost moaning.

In this wide passage, there is a hazy white mist flowing, shining brightly, and surging with fairy air, wrapped in long-lived matter, like rivers, rushing in the passage. Bathing in it makes people feel comfortable all over, their pores dilated, as if they are flying like fairies in the clouds.

It is worthy of being called a peerless fairyland. If one could live here permanently, one could at least prolong one's life by hundreds or thousands of years, which is comparable to taking a peerless magic pill.

Ye Xiu took a step forward. In the distance, a soft light was emitted, and the misty spiritual energy was rippling. The flowing clouds were like water waves. This place was extremely sacred.

Fairy light floated down, and in this place where divine light flowed, it fell gently like a white feather, bringing with it a sweet fragrance, which seemed particularly transcendent, just like the legendary fairyland.

After passing through one area after another, they finally approached the source of the fairy energy. Both of them stopped as there was no way forward.

What comes into view is a huge basin with a diameter of thousands of miles, like an abyss, very deep and hazy, with chaotic mist flowing and fairy light shining brightly.

Faintly, you can see below that the cliffs are full of potholes and many ancient caves, and fairy air is flowing in and out like rivers and seas. This should be the central fairyland of Qilin's Nest.

"The old nest of the Immortal Qilin!" Ye Xiu said with a dull look on his face.

Although I haven't entered yet, I can vaguely feel that there must be great fortune here. However, such a huge abyss is really jaw-dropping. Is the size of the immortal unicorn so huge? Is it worth digging out such a large basin just to give birth to offspring?
He lowered his head and looked down. Although the light was bright below, the chaotic mist was surging, making everything hazy and obscuring his vision. He could not see anything at all, which made Ye Xiu feel uneasy and uneasy.

Endless immortal energy, life-giving matter, even dragon energy, and a bit of immortal energy, all surged up from the bottom of the abyss, full of mystery and weirdness, yet making people yearn for it.

Ye Xiu was shocked. With so many long-lived substances, it was as if he had suddenly arrived in the fairyland. At the same time, he became more hopeful that there might really be immortal medicines and immortal eggs down there.

Such an arrangement is not something that the Supreme Being can accomplish. The person who took action must have stepped into the realm of immortals, otherwise it would be impossible for so many immortal substances to be left here after such a long time.
