Chapter 17 The Treasure Duan De Missed

"chichichi"

Countless rays of light danced wildly in the sky, and the sound of air being torn apart was incessant. Many cultivators were constantly vying for treasures, but Ye Fan had other things on his mind at this moment.

Faced with Qi Zhe's feigned mystery, Ye Fan's appetite was indeed piqued. Both the Eastern Wilderness treasure known as the Desolate Tower and the mysterious fortune he was waiting for made Ye Fan very curious.

He couldn't help but turn to look at Qi Zhe, seeing his pretentious expression, he felt there must be something wrong, but Qi Zhe was unwilling to speak, which really made him scratch his head in frustration.

"boom!!"

With a series of muffled thuds, rays of light from the sky continued to fall onto the mountaintop, and something even fell in front of Ye Fan, bringing him back to his senses.

"Treasure?" Ye Fan murmured. The object that had hit him made him a little suspicious, but when he looked closely, he found that it was just some brick and tile fragments, which made him a little disappointed.

"Why are they all just broken bricks and tiles!" Ye Fan said disappointedly, and couldn't help but kick away the broken bricks in front of him.

At this moment, cultivators kept passing by on the mountaintop, but seeing only rubble, they were inevitably disappointed. They ignored Ye Fan and Qi Zhe who were stationed on the mountaintop and flew away.

"These are all broken bricks and stones from the Demon Emperor's tomb." Qi Zhe had just opened his mouth when a 'clang' was heard, and a piece of greenish-blue scrap copper landed in front of Ye Fan.

Qi Zhe couldn't help but grin upon seeing this, realizing with surprise that he had delivered this thing to his doorstep, and for a moment he thought it was unfair.

"Another piece of scrap metal," Ye Fan said, picking up the green copper block and examining it quietly in his hand.

This piece of green copper was only the size of a palm and looked unremarkable. Ye Fan weighed it in his hand a few times and felt that it was inexplicably heavy, as if it had fallen off a rather large vessel.

The passing cultivators looked at the green copper block in Ye Fan's hand. If Qi Zhe hadn't been standing by, they would have definitely taken a closer look. Even so, the group of people still gave it a good look.

"Whose child is this?! He's clutching this piece of scrap metal like he's afraid we'll steal it from him!"

"That's right."

"Even if it's scrap copper, it's mine!" Ye Fan grinned upon hearing this. He had obtained three treasures in this primitive ruin, but none of them were his. Now that he had finally picked up a piece of scrap copper, he couldn't let anyone else take it, even if it was trash.

Meanwhile, Duan De had already returned. With his sharp eyes, he had already noticed that Ye Fan had hidden something in his arms. Ignoring Qi Zhe beside him, he grinned and said, "Hey, kid, you've struck gold! Let me take a good look at it for you. Maybe it's a demon in disguise!"

Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately pretended to be unwilling and said, "Come on, I can't give you this treasure this time!"

The two began arguing about the treasure. Ye Fan insisted on not giving it up, but Duan De was determined to see it. After some bargaining, Duan De finally got what he wanted, but he felt cheated when he got the green bronze.

"You shameless bastard! This is the treasure you were talking about? It's just a piece of scrap copper!" Duan De cursed under his breath, looking at Ye Fan with great displeasure, realizing that he had been tricked.

Interestingly, he didn't examine the green bronze much, casually tossing it on the ground without even glancing at it.

Qi Zhe stood aside, watching the two's performance, a strange smile creeping onto his lips. He couldn't help but say, "Master Duan, if you don't examine it carefully, the treasure might remain unrecognized and covered in dust. Don't let it slip away!"

"Most people in this world only regret it after they lose it. Master Duan, don't follow in others' footsteps!" At this moment, Qi Zhe was full of wicked ideas and had already imagined Duan De's appearance after losing the green copper block. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Duan De glanced sideways at Qi Zhe and sneered, "You're no better. You didn't warn me earlier, just waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Now you're kicking me when I'm down. You're a real scoundrel!"

He's always the one who tricks others, never the other way around. Today, Ye Fan tricked him once, and then Qi Zhe teased him, which really infuriated him.

"Hehe!" Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this. He reached out and grabbed the green copper, saying in a sarcastic tone, "It's a pity that you are a treasure of the world. Now your brilliance is hidden and no one recognizes it. Since that's the case, I'll take it. There will surely be a day when you see the light of day again!"

Qi Zhe and Ye Fan's words infuriated Duan De. He pointed at the two of them and roared, "You two are truly despicable! Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?!"

Duan De was so angry his nose was practically rotten. He wasn't going to stay any longer and soared into the sky, shouting before he left, "Just you wait, I'm off to find the real treasure. You two can only be envious!"

"Hahaha!!!" Ye Fan laughed so hard he almost fell over as he watched Duan De leave. He felt all the frustration from having his treasure stolen not long ago disappear. That's how Duan De should be treated.

After a moment, he turned to look at Qi Zhe, already having the intention to leave. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have other important matters to attend to, so I will not keep you company any longer in waiting for this great opportunity. Farewell."

"Well, fate is something you can't force." Qi Zhe murmured softly. He didn't have any further thoughts about the green bronze, and he watched Ye Fan leave without saying anything more.

However, he knew that it was too late to leave at this point. The powerful beings who had just attacked the Demon Emperor's tomb had already sealed this primitive ruin. Countless Dao patterns suppressed the void, and even an ant could not escape.

However, Qi Zhe did not intend to remind Ye Fan, after all, he also had things to do now, and Ye Fan would eventually come back, and Duan De would also have a time to meet again, so Qi Zhe was not in a hurry.

"The forces of the Yao Guang Holy Land are in the distance, but if I join them now, I won't be able to do much more. I still have to act alone!"

Qi Zhe has no plans to reunite with the people of Yao Guang Holy Land for the time being. He intends to go find the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Yin Realm alone and see if he can freeload there. Perhaps the Azure Emperor is bored down there and could teach him a move or two that would be enough for him to benefit from for a lifetime.

"Azure Emperor, please don't fall asleep!" Qi Zhe looked into the distance, whispered, and then soared into the sky.

He began searching through the memories in his mind, traversing back and forth among the mountains, determined to find the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Since the emergence of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, countless cultivators have searched for opportunities in this primeval ruin. Major holy lands and ancient families have sent powerful figures, but none of them have found anything. Unfortunately, they have all been looking in the wrong direction.

The Azure Emperor was far-sighted. Ten thousand years ago, he wanted to practice his path to immortality in the desolation. He stole the primordial spirit of the Desolate Tower and entered it to create a celestial realm. At that time, he had already left behind a means to allow his weapon and heart to be born on their own ten thousand years later.

The ancient temple in the crater was merely a facade, a veiled tomb, with all its furnishings serving as a decoy. The Azure Emperor, meanwhile, was currently slumbering in a dark tomb alongside the desolate tower.

This Demon Emperor's tomb has both yang and yin aspects. The yang tomb is above, and the yin tomb is naturally below. Now, the yin tomb is sunk deep into the earth, and only a pool of darkness can reach into it. However, it can only stay on the outer edge and cannot go deep into the yin tomb.

"Found it!" Qi Zhe crossed hundreds of mountains and finally found a deep pool in a valley. Its water was as black as ink and exuded a deep and eerie chill.

This is the Netherworld Pool leading to the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb.
