Ji Hao fell silent again, closing his eyes to feel the scouring power of "Desolation."

Seeing Ji Hao close his eyes to cultivate again, Ye Fan had grown used to this mysterious figure who seemed to be from his "ancestor's" generation.

They were both descendants of Yan and Huang. The man had said he had waited five thousand years. Even if it had not truly been that long, he was still much older than Ye Fan.

There was nothing shameful about clinging to a powerful thigh!

What followed was a grand scene of acknowledging relatives.

He could not call him little brother anymore. Who knew whether he was some old monster skilled at preserving his youth? Seeing how pale he was, perhaps his lifespan was nearly exhausted.

If Ye Fan acknowledged him as family now, then after this "senior" passed away, would not all his treasures and scriptures be left to Ye Fan, his "junior"?

That was how it went in novels.

So what should he call him to sound close?

Big brother?

Old senior?

Grandpa?

Call him whatever fit!

Ji Hao, who was feeling the power of "Desolation," had no idea someone was already eyeing his inheritance.

If Ji Hao found out, he would probably exclaim, "Well, damn!"

Then he would use a Void Great Handprint to break Ye Fan's legs.

"Interesting. This should be an advanced form of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art."

Fortunately, Shi Hao's Stone Bowl protected him. Otherwise, he would likely not survive even a quarter of an hour in this Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone. The power of "Desolation" robbed people of their vitality, and the higher one's cultivation, the stronger its effects. But that was not even the main concern. What he feared was absorbing too much vitality and breaking the balance between life and death. If that happened, he would be finished.

Seeing Ji Hao close his eyes to cultivate once more, everyone felt their stomachs grow empty and scattered to search for food.

Once Ye Fan finally went looking for food, Ji Hao opened his eyes and said, "It is time to prepare."

He immediately used the Void Secret Technique and followed closely behind Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

Not far ahead, they saw several ancient vines as thick as water barrels surrounding an open space. Within it was a spring pool about one meter wide, its water gurgling forth like sweet springwater and spiritual dew.

More than a dozen small trees, each over half a meter tall, grew beside the spring. Their broad emerald leaves resembled human palms, and each tree bore a scarlet fruit shaped somewhat like a cherry.

Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine!

A trace of heat flashed through Ji Hao's heart. This was why he had risked entering the forbidden zone! Today, Ji Hao would be riding Ye Fan's coattails for some Fortune.

Although he did not know whether that peerless white-robed empress, the Ruthless Emperor, was currently standing within the Bronze Immortal Palace beneath the abyss and watching this place,

After considering it, he felt relieved. Ye Fan was on good terms with her, after all. At worst, Ji Hao could lower his seniority by a few hundred generations and address Ye Fan as grandfather and grandson. Besides, during the battle on Mars, he had saved Ye Fan's life and forged a deep bond of grandfather-grandson affection with him. Was taking advantage of one's grandson really called freeloading?

This was called filial devotion!

Besides, perhaps this face of his might win the Ruthless Emperor's approval as well!

Although Ji Hao himself could not see any changes, the setting had made it clear that this was an influence originating from the source, something impossible to perceive. To him, he looked no different from before.

The three passed through the vines and hurried over. From far away, they could already smell a rich fragrance.

"I'm starving to death!" Pang Bo's eyes practically glowed green when he saw the fruits.

"Fruits this fragrant might be poisonous." Ye Fan hesitated and pulled Pang Bo back.

After all, the more vibrant and enticing something looked, the more likely it was to be poisonous. This applied not only to people, but animals as well.

"If you two will not eat them, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

A hand extended from beside Ye Fan, flawless and white, warm as jade.

Without hesitation, it plucked three fruits at once.

"Senior, why are you here?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

He had just been thinking about getting close to him and inheriting his estate, and now the man had come over himself.

Ji Hao frowned. "I have a feeling you are thinking something bad."

Ye Fan awkwardly scratched his head and smiled. "How could that be?"

The current Ye Fan was not yet the future Ye Hei. His skin was not that thick. He had just been thinking about inheriting someone else's estate, only to run into the owner immediately afterward. It was rather awkward.

"You should eat some too. It will benefit your future cultivation." Ji Hao stored two fruits in a jade box.

"Remember to save some fruits. They may prove useful someday," Ji Hao warned.

"Understood, Senior!" Ye Fan said.

Ji Hao lightly bit into the fruit. Juice flowed out, and a fragrant aroma spread through him, reaching straight into his five viscera and six bowels.

He devoured it ravenously, almost wanting to swallow his own tongue because it was so damn delicious. The immense medicinal power continuously scoured Ji Hao's body. Strands of deathly energy were purified, his physique strengthened slightly, and his blood vitality lurked within him like a dragon. Divine radiance flowed over his body, making even Ye Fan beside him restless.

The fragments of imperial dao within his bloodline resonated with the fragments of laws within the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine, causing his bloodline to awaken further. Ji Hao was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine to have such an effect, but it made sense. After all, the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine was famed for its transformations.

Hearing Ji Hao's words, Ye Fan and Pang Bo finally could not suppress their inner craving. Each grabbed a fruit and took a bite. Juice burst forth, and after only two or three bites, the fruits were in their stomachs.

Ji Hao slapped the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine. Within the fishing space, a streak of divine light emerged, imprinting one-ninth of the laws belonging to the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine.

"Eh, this springwater seems to have a faint fragrance too." Pang Bo took a sniff.

Ye Fan scooped up some water and smelled it. "Since fruits like these can grow here, this water is probably related to them."

"This springwater is a little sweet."

"Let's fill up some water and bring it back. This springwater is probably extraordinary too." Pang Bo took out several mineral water bottles and filled them.

"Senior, do you want to take some too?" Ye Fan asked.

"Sure."

Since the owner's "brother" had invited him, Ji Hao could not refuse the courtesy.

He casually took out a Jade Pure Bottle and gave it a light scoop. The water level instantly dropped by two or three centimeters.

"Too much was as bad as too little. Besides, there were still eight Divine Springs waiting for him to visit!"

"I'll go take a look elsewhere. You two should leave quickly. This place is very dangerous for you."

With that, Ji Hao took a single step and vanished from where he stood.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo looked at each other.

"Let's hurry and leave too. I also feel that something is wrong here. It is too quiet."

After filling several mineral water bottles, they quickly headed back.

Ji Hao strolled through the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone. The Stone Bowl in his Life Spring gave off a faint milky fragrance. He appeared to move slowly, but he had already pushed the Void Secret Technique to its limit. One step carried him several miles away.

He drew the Xuanyuan Sword from his back and vigilantly watched his surroundings. To be fair, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone truly deserved its name. Within Ji Hao's divine senses, danger was everywhere.

If there had been warning lights, they would probably have exploded by now.

"Jingwei, Jingwei!"

Jingwei on his shoulder was also surrounded by the fragrance emitted by the milk jar. Though her intelligence was still limited, she felt immense fear.

She feared the power within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone.
