The Price

The three of them quickly followed the ancient well and left the Jade Pool Ruins.

Seeing the long-awaited sunshine in the sky, the three of them felt a pang of sadness, finally about to leave the Jade Pool Ruins.

However, all three of them were in a good mood after receiving a copy of the "Empress West Scripture".

"Zhou Tong, do you know the location of the other scriptures?" Tu Fei looked at Zhou Tong with some curiosity. "This one Dao Palace Scroll isn't enough! When can we gather all five scrolls?"

"One Great Emperor's scripture is not enough?"

Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Tu Fei: "The Dao Palace Scroll is the most essential scroll in the ' Empress West Scripture.' The Dao Palace Chapter of the ' Empress West Scripture ' is known as the strongest scripture in the Dao Palace Realm. You should be content to have obtained this scroll!"

Tu Fei curled his lip and said, "Don't think I don't know. This ' Empress West Scripture ' was carved by the Queen Mother of the West when she was creating the scriptures. Their cultivation in Jade Pool is probably much more profound and mysterious than ours!"

"What happened?"

Ye Fan was constantly circulating the "Empress West Scripture," couldn't care less about continuing his comprehension and immediately asked a question.

Tu Fei said, "Every Great Emperor will revise his scriptures in his later years. That revision is the true essence and the scripture passed down from the Great Sage. Scriptures that are newly created are definitely not as good as those that have been revised."

There is a significant difference between the scriptures of those who preach alternative doctrines and those of those who have truly attained enlightenment.

After Great Emperor attains enlightenment, he can obtain the Heavenly Heart Imprint. The first generation of Heavenly Heart Imprint was called the "Immortal King Foundation" in the Chaotic Ancient Era. Even if the Heavenly Heart Imprint of later generations are not as good as the first generation of Heavenly Heart Imprint in the era of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, they are at least a "True Immortal Realm Foundation".

Great Emperor obtained this thing, naturally, his vision and knowledge increased dramatically compared to before he attained enlightenment. The scriptures that he used to think were perfect now showed many flaws and shortcomings after he attained enlightenment.

This is the reason why the Great Emperor revised his scriptures after attaining enlightenment!

"You know so much! It seems you've probably cultivated some powerful scriptures too! Your Tu Family has quite the luck! It seems to be a scripture from the pinnacle of the Great Sage?"

Zhou Tong's ears twitched slightly, and wisps of Dao Pattern appeared. He vaguely heard some grand sounds coming from Tu Fei's Wheel Sea and Dao Palace.

Although this sound was far inferior to the Emperor's Scripture, the difference wasn't too great. The scripture that Tu Fei cultivated was very likely passed down by a Great Sage who had reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Tu Fei was startled and looked sharply at Zhou Tong, as if he had noticed something unusual about his ears. He exclaimed, "You actually cultivated the Heavenly Ear Technique? You've actually learned the Six Supernatural Powers passed down from the Buddhist Sect? You, with both the Bodhi Tree and the Six Supernatural Powers of the Buddhist Sect, could you be a descendant of the Western Desert?!"

Tu Fei's gaze towards Zhou Tong was somewhat different now, carrying a hint of wariness.

"I've read the Mida Scripture, but it has nothing to do with the Western Desert!" Zhou Tong shook his head.

"The Mida Scripture!!" Tu Fei exclaimed in shock. "That's the supreme scripture personally transmitted by the Amitabha Great Emperor! You actually read it? Which volume did you read? Do you have Heavenly Eye Technique? Teach me!!"

"You wouldn't be thinking of using your Heavenly Eye Technique to see some unhealthy things, would you?" Zhou Tong glanced at him sideways.

"Am I that kind of person?" Tu Fei asked righteously.

Zhou Tong: →_→

Ye Fan: →_→

Tu Fei: (⊙⊙)

"Speaking of Ye Fan, have you thought about what to do with the next ten million jin of Source? After you get the Origin, where do you plan to undergo your tribulation?" Zhou Tong suddenly asked.

"Ten million jin of Source... I don't know either!" Ye Fan was confused once again.

In fact, he already had a million jin of Source, which he obtained by gambling on a small investment with the help of Zhou Tong's hints in the Holy City.

When I broke through to the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm last time, I still had a million catties left.

But that's not enough, far from enough.

This million jin of Source is only one-tenth, not even one-tenth.

"I can give you ten million jin of Source!" Zhou Tong suddenly said, "But I have one condition!"

"Really? Tens of millions of jin of Source? Even those holy lands can't produce that much, and you can?!" Tu Fei exclaimed in surprise, as if he wanted to get to know Zhou Tong all over again.

"Unlike your Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region, who bully the weak and fear the strong, only daring to cause trouble in the mining areas of those holy lands, I genuinely robbed a sacred land!" Zhou Tong said calmly.

"They raided a sacred site? I couldn't possibly not have heard about such shocking news!"

Tu Fei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Tong in shock. "Damn it, you weren't the one who caused trouble at the Ji Family's headquarters in the Northern Region, were you?!"

"What? That person was you?" Ye Fan was also shocked.

During his travels in the Northern Region, he had heard that a powerful figure had once triggered a tremendous heavenly Heavenly Tribulation at the Ji Family's headquarters in the Northern Region, and took the opportunity to plunder the place.

Of the seventeen powerful figures at the Ji Family headquarters, ten died and seven were seriously injured!

"How many sources does the Ji Family Northern Region Headquarters actually have?" Tu Fei's breathing became rapid, and his eyes turned red.

"It's worth about 20 million catties, how about it?" Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan, "As long as you agree to one condition, I'll cover the resources for your advancement to the Four Extremities Realm!"

"I think I owe you something! What's the condition this time?" Ye Fan asked in a deep voice.

He remembered very clearly that when Zhou Tong took him to find the "Empress West Scripture", he owed him a condition, and now he had another condition.

If we factor it all in, wouldn't I end up owing him two favors?

"Including these tens of millions of jin of Source, you should owe me two favors," Zhou Tong said softly. "The first favor is to help me get some things from the Primordial Forbidden Land: the nine sacred Sacred Mountain and the nine kinds of divine trees. Just pick all the fruits from the divine trees for me, that's all."

Although those fruits belonged to the Ruthless Great Emperor, as long as Ye Fan personally gave them away, the Ruthless Great Emperor wouldn't say anything. In fact, in the original story, Ye Fan also gave away some fruits from the Primordial Forbidden Land as favors, such as to the Holy Imperial Son and the Divine Silkworm Princess ...

"Zhou Tong, are you trying to kill Ye Fan?" Tu Fei exclaimed in shock.

How could the Primordial Forbidden Land be a place that ordinary people could go? Even Holy Lord or Imperial Lord could be reduced to ashes if he got close.

Zhou Tong looked at Tu Fei, shook his head, and said, "You don't understand!"

"What do I not understand! You want Ye Zi to go to the Primordial Forbidden Land to get the Divine Fruit for you? Isn't that just trying to kill him?" Tu Fei was furious. "I treated you as a friend, but I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

Ye Fan remained calm. He tugged at Tu Fei and said, "Tu Fei, there's no need to say anything. This isn't Zhou Tong's fault. The reason I, as the Primordial Sacred Body, cannot break through to the Four Extremities Realm is not only due to the source, but more importantly, the curse. Only the Primordial Forbidden Land has the possibility of breaking that curse for me!"

"Even without Zhou Tong's suggestion, I still need to go to the Primordial Forbidden Land." Ye Fan shook his head and said directly, "Without entering the Primordial Forbidden Land, I have no chance of breaking through to the Four Extremities Realm!"

"But Zhou Tong, aren't you afraid that I'll die in the Primordial Forbidden Land, making all your investment in me go down the drain?" Ye Fan then asked.

"Investing involves risk, you should be very clear about that!" Zhou Tong said softly.

"Although we have known each other for more than ten years, ten million jin of Source is still a huge amount for me. It is already most of my wealth, and I took a huge risk to snatch it from the holy land. Moreover, the Bodhi Tree in my hand still needs source energy to nourish it. If there is not enough source energy, this Immortal Divine Medicine will probably have to undergo nirvana."

"In fact, if I possessed the strength of Ancient Saint, given our relationship, I wouldn't ask for any price; I'd give you tens of millions of jin of Source directly. But unfortunately, I don't!"

Ye Fan remained silent, but nodded nonetheless. "Alright! But I'll warn you beforehand that there are no more fruits on two of the Sacred Mountain."

On Earth, Ye Fan is a successful person, having earned enough wealth to live comfortably for a lifetime in just three short years after graduation. Undoubtedly, he took enormous risks.

"Use your Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron to fill it with Divine Spring Water!" Zhou Tong said. "Although it can't hold much, it should be enough to fill a whole spring."

"Okay!" Ye Fan nodded.
