All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Wang Gan wasn't surprised. In reality, Ye Fan was definitely not of any help, but he had only sent Ye Fan for two reasons.

One is to lead the way; Ye Fan's Origin Heaven Technique can directly point to the lair of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

Secondly, the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest is not only the slumbering place of the ancient royal family, but also the cenotaph of the Ruthless Great Emperor. The True Dragon Immortal Elixir was also planted by the Ruthless Great Emperor, so who knows what methods he might have.

Without Ye Fan as a protector, Wang Gan might have been doomed here.
Wang Gan followed Ye Fan deep into the back mountain, into the snow-capped peaks, traversing the icy and snowy landscape. Ye Fan used his Origin Technique to see through the illusions and capture the dragon's aura.

"There is an extremely powerful dragon aura underground; it must be an unparalleled dragon vein!"

Wang Gan did not reply to this, but looked down at the snow valley. There were many humanoid creatures in the valley, their bodies covered with long, snow-white fur, each with an imposing presence.

"This is a snow ape, born with immense strength. It can tear apart lions and tigers shortly after birth. They are definitely demonic beasts, and there are probably old apes that have cultivated to a very high level!"

Ye Fan's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"These beasts are indeed in the way."

Wang Gan frowned.
"Xiao Fanzi, use your Source Technique to seal the surrounding energy. Don't let the people from the Ice and Snow Palace notice. I'm about to make my move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gan activated a wisp of chaotic holy light, and the divine halo silently swept across the snow valley.
Wherever it passed, the snow apes turned into blood mist, not even having time to let out a scream.

Although the snow apes here are strong, they are at most at the Dragon Transformation Realm. There are no powerful demonic beasts here, so it is not difficult for Wang Gan to kill them quietly.

Incidentally, Wang Gan also used the Chaotic Holy Light to retrieve the shimmering green medicinal herbs from the snow valley.

Six spiritual herbs floated in front of Wang Gan, shimmering with green light. They were only a little over a foot tall, and each herb bore a fruit that was half a foot long. The fruit was golden and crystal clear, shaped like a real dragon, and was quite extraordinary.

"The Source Dragon Fruit is a rare herb that can only grow when nourished by dragon energy. There must be a great dragon underground!"

Ye Fan took a deep breath, his tone expectant.
"That's right, the Dragon Nest should be down there."

Wang Gan nodded and put the Source Dragon Fruits away.

Although these Source Dragon Fruits cannot compare with the ancient divine medicines, they are definitely top-tier spiritual herbs, including some at the level of Medicine Kings, and even top-tier Medicine Kings. Taking them back would be enough to extend the lifespan of Jiang Taixu or Li Daoqing.

With the snow ape no longer blocking their way, the two made their way smoothly to a huge, dark cave halfway up the snow mountain, from which dragon energy emanated.

Deep inside the mountain, there is a large hole that looks like a demonic well, leading directly underground, but the wellhead is sealed by a piece of transparent ice.

Inside the ice is an old ape, sitting in meditation with its eyes closed. It is lifelike, tall, covered in snow-white fur, and has a peaceful expression, as if it were still alive.

"This is."

Ye Fan looked surprised.

"It should be the old ape who created the Ice and Snow Palace outside. He was at least a second-level immortal in life, and sealed this place with his own corpse after he died."

Wang Gan looked at the old ape's corpse, his expression knowing.

"The array patterns here have existed for tens of thousands of years and are extremely profound. Even I find it very difficult to decipher them."

Ye Fan made this judgment with a serious expression.

Although he had learned the Origin Heaven Technique, the art of array patterns is not limited to Origin Techniques.
In the original story, even the Black Emperor, a master of array patterns, took a full day and night to break through it.

Fortunately, Wang Gan and his companion had plenty of time, and no one was chasing them, giving them ample opportunity to break through the sealing array.

Seven days later, with Ye Fan looking listless and sporting dark circles under his eyes, a flaw was finally found in the array patterns!
The so-called flaw was where the dragon energy overflowed and the array patterns were damaged. Ye Fan focused intently, walking at the forefront, constantly carving and rewriting the patterns.

It took Wang Gan and his companion a full day to finally penetrate deep into the earth and fall into a vast underground palace! The Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons!
The magnificent underground palace exudes antiquity, as if covered with a layer of dust, with stone chambers, stone halls and everything else bearing the marks of time.

But the underground wasn't so dark; a few strange stones shimmered with light, and all of this could be clearly seen.

In addition, the dragon's energy surges like rivers flowing underground, and bathing in it makes one feel refreshed.

"The aura of divine power!"

Ye Fan's expression shifted. Within the surging dragon energy, divine essence overflowed, clearly indicating that a peerless treasure was hidden deep within the underground palace.

"This is not the Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons, this is the Palace of the Underworld God."

Wang Gan shook his head and looked around at the land in front of him.
"The Palace of the Underworld?"

Ye Fan suddenly realized,

"Is it the great sect that was destroyed ten thousand years ago, the super power that existed before the Ice Palace?"

Wang Gan nodded.

Looking at the transparent ice palace floating in front of them, there lay a person inside, as if formed from ice crystals, pure white, almost transparent, and the same color as the ice palace.

She lay quietly inside, her body veiled in white gauze, her figure exquisite, truly possessing skin as smooth as ice and bones as beautiful as jade, her hair jet black and glossy, obscuring most of her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

"Legend has it that back then, the invincible God King of the Jiang family wielded an ultimate weapon and wiped out the Underworld God Palace, with only their female Holy Master escaping."

Wang Gan sighed.

"Let's go, this is not our destination."

Just then, the dragon energy surged, and the Palace of the Underworld began to slowly sink, disappearing into the darkness beneath the Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons, rising and falling with the surging dragon energy.

Wang Gan and his companion descended for 9,000 meters, then another 5,000 meters, then another 6,000 meters, before finally reaching their destination.

All nine largest dragon caves lead forward to a huge lair. From afar, it radiates divine light, and there must be an astonishing divine source inside.

Although he saw the divine source resources that Ye Fan had been longing for, Ye Fan's expression changed drastically, because he vaguely saw divine source blocks floating inside the Myriad Dragon Nest, and it seemed that there were creatures sealed inside!

"Ancient creatures!"

Ye Fan gasped.
"I understand now. It must have been the Netherworld Palace established by these ancient creatures, or at least connected to it. That's why the Jiang family's God King had to wield an ultimate weapon to destroy the Netherworld Palace!"

"We're doomed! With ancient creatures protecting them, these divine sources are only for show, not for use!"

Ye Fan looked pained, but had no choice but to give it up.
He had witnessed the terrifying power of ancient creatures in Zishan; they were all at least at the Sendai level, and only a God-King of Jiang Taixu's caliber could easily deal with them.

Moreover, Jiang Taixu only faced one ancient creature back then, but here...
Looking at the densely packed ancient creatures deep within the dragon's nest, Ye Fan broke out in a cold sweat. If they were all revived, the entire Beidou Realm would probably be thrown into chaos.

Wang Gan ignored these ancient creatures and looked deeper into the dragon's nest.

At the heart of the Dragon Nest, where the dragons roam, their aura swirls. There stands a dazzling divine herb, its entire body golden, over a foot tall, with nine leaves.

Each leaf is like a golden cloud, beautiful and dazzling, yet somewhat ethereal.

At the top of this ancient divine herb grew a fruit, golden and gleaming. Its shape was quite unique; it was a small golden dragon, about the length of a palm, crystal clear and lifelike, as if it were alive! (End of Chapter)
