Others couldn't see it, but he saw it clearly.
Putting aside other things.
This sword was entirely forged from 12th-tier Youming Iron!
Youming Iron is a specialty of the Abyss, and it's almost impossible to get a piece in the human world.
Its greatest characteristic is its incredible potential for growth!
If a cultivator possessed a weapon made of Youming Iron from the Qi Refining stage, they would undoubtedly be invincible among peers at the Tribulation stage!
For cultivators like Du Yue, whose highest realm was only Void Comprehension, such a treasure was beyond imagination.
After all, they might not even know what Youming Iron was...
"We were able to reach here this time all thanks to Brother Ye's efforts," Bu Quegan said decisively, refusing. "This sole item naturally belongs to Brother Ye."
Bu Quegan didn't know or care if this thing was a treasure, or what level of treasure it was.
He only knew it was the only thing here, and that was enough.
As a super-rich man, would he snatch something from his pre-ordained subordinate?
Bu Quegan wouldn't do such a thing!
The four guards were simply terrified...
The sword showed no true energy fluctuations, clearly not belonging to the category of magic treasures.
Even if it were a valuable item they didn't recognize, they wouldn't dare to take it!
What if it was a test from a powerful figure like Ye Fan?
Didn't some monstrously powerful individuals enjoy playing such games?
They had the ability to torment others easily, yet they sought a plausible excuse for themselves.
If they truly took it, wouldn't that be handing the excuse to the other party?
"Oh, you took it just because I told you to?"
"Since you're so obedient, let's 'play a game' then!"
The more they thought about it, the more they believed it was true!
Liang Rujing, however, had no such worries. She curiously rummaged through the pile of armor.
After a few rummages, she pulled out a book.
The book seemed to be made from the skin of some unknown monstrous beast, and its exterior showed no signs of decay.
Upon opening the first page, Liang Rujing frowned.
She couldn't recognize most of the characters, which looked like scribbles.
After flipping through a few pages, Liang Rujing made a general assessment.
Based on the few characters she could recognize, she deduced that it was a diary-like object.
Unfortunately, the recognizable characters were too scattered to form coherent sentences.
Furthermore, there were no recorded dates, making it impossible to determine its era.
[Please host... Never mind...]
The long sword forged from Youming Iron turned into a streak of light and flew into Ye Fan's ring.
"Rumble...!"
A heavy door rose from the wall.
"It seems we can leave now," Ye Fan took the book from Liang Rujing and put it into his ring.
Crossing the door, they successfully exited the great tomb.
As the Nightmare Domain had indicated earlier, the exit was not far from the entrance.
[Preparing for teleportation...]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Ye Fan and Liang Rujing vanished.
Bu Quegan was clearly stunned for a moment, then said with a determined expression.
"Brother Ye left too hastily?"
"No, we agreed to be friends once we got out, and this King must keep his promise!"
"Let's go, let's go, I'll go find Brother Ye."
The four guards, upon hearing this, almost slapped him...
"Beep beep beep."
As Bu Quegan took out his flying boat, his communication jade pinged.
After reading it, Bu Quegan was full of gloom.
The message was from his emperor brother.
A powerful figure would be visiting the imperial palace soon, and he was told to return quickly to prepare.
If he, a prince, was not present when the distinguished guest arrived, it might offend the distinguished guest.
Actually, he didn't care if the distinguished guest was pleased or not.
The key point was that if the distinguished guest was displeased, his emperor brother would take it out on him.
Once the emperor was angry, he would truly be bankrupt.
If he went bankrupt, then Bu Quegan's source of joy would be gone.
...
After seeing Liang Rujing off, Ye Fan returned to his Immortal Jade Peak.
Lying on the lounge chair, Ye Fan took out the book and began to read.
In fact, the moment he encountered the Nightmare, Ye Fan realized that things were not simple.
Neither Nightmares nor the Abyss belonged to the Eastern cultivation system.
The few times he had descended into the Abyss before, he had all traversed Western fantasy worlds of swords and magic.
The materials used for this book were also the skin of some demonic beast from the Western world.
Now, encountering such things in a world that was clearly Eastern fantasy was abnormal!
At least, it was something he had never encountered in his previous 99 lifetimes of transmigration.
And these were just one of the suspicious points.
Liang Rujing and the others couldn't recognize the script in the book, but Ye Fan could!
To be precise, it was the common script used on a continent in one of his past lives!
With a complex mood, Ye Fan opened the book.
This book recorded some of the tomb owner's life experiences, and the time span was very large.
Based on the calculations of certain epochal methods within, it was at least five hundred thousand years ago.
A passage in the book caught Ye Fan's attention.
It generally described how the tomb owner came to a place called the Misty Mountain Range, which was rich in a spiritual ore called Xuan Yang Jin Jin.
However, after the tomb owner spent great effort to find it, he was blocked by a formation.
Let alone breaking it, he didn't even know the name of the formation.
After sacrificing some magic treasures with no success, the tomb owner had to give up.
Seeing this, Ye Fan's heart sank!
The place name and the ore name might be coincidences.
But if combined with the description of the formation in the book...
It seemed less like a coincidence!
Because that was clearly a Ten Thousand Nether Heart Devouring Formation!
In that lifetime, Ye Fan had specifically sought out Xuan Yang Jin Jin to improve his artifact refining level!
At that time, he had searched and inquired all the way, piecing together various fragmented clues and rumors to find the Misty Mountain Range.
This process had taken him hundreds of years!
After all, the entire continent was vast at that time. If he hadn't been looking for Xuan Yang Jin Jin, he would never have paid attention to a remote place like the Misty Mountain Range.
The formation blocking the fine gold was precisely the Ten Thousand Nether Heart Devouring Formation!
Even the Ye Fan of that time had spent considerable effort to unravel it.
Ye Fan recalled that when he first arrived at the Misty Mountain Range, a small incident had occurred.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan hurriedly continued reading.
As expected.
The subsequent records verified his thoughts.
After being blocked by the great formation, the tomb owner resided in Sifang City near the Misty Mountain Range for some time.
Not long after settling down, a terrifying monstrous beast arrived at Sifang City!
The cultivators of Sifang City fought back desperately but were no match for the monstrous beast.
As the monstrous beast continued its rampage, Sifang City turned into a living hell!
At that time, everyone in Sifang City, from cultivators to commoners, was in despair!
They couldn't understand what they had done wrong to experience such terrifying despair.
Just as everyone's hope was extinguished, a figure appeared out of nowhere!
That person instantly killed the terrifying monstrous beast, becoming a great hero in everyone's hearts!
The tomb owner witnessed the entire process and was utterly shocked!
He mustered up the courage to seek out the great hero to become his disciple, but was ruthlessly refused...
Seeing this, Ye Fan's mouth twitched.
The great hero described in the book was naturally him.
When he first arrived in Sifang City, he had indeed encountered a monstrous beast at the Mahayana stage.
After defeating the beast, people flocked to worship him.
Later, someone seemed to have come and wanted to become his disciple...
But at that time, he was busy looking for Xuan Yang Jin Jin and didn't have time to pay attention to such things.
