o escape through the window."Master Du, where are you going"Ye Bufan flicked his finger, and a sharp palm wind sealed Du Lang's acupoints. Du Lang instantly stood there like a wooden statue."What are...This is a very vast space, and in front of the two of them is an unfathomable cliff, black and bottomless, like a path to hell.

Looking out into the distance, at their feet lay a valley that stretched as far as the eye could see. Right in the center was a mountain peak, towering high like a pillar stuck firmly in place.

After reaching the peak, the area wasn't very large, about seventy to eighty square meters. In the very center was a shimmering sphere of light.

Ye Bufan's divine sense swept over, and he was immediately bounced back by an invisible energy. He couldn't see anything inside.

He could see that the orb contained an immense and eerie amount of energy. It must be the barrier that Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian had spoken of.

Here, it is utterly desolate, with not a sound to be heard, creating an eerie and frightening atmosphere.

"The Cold Sword Immortal Sect's forbidden area, no disciples of my sect are allowed to step onto Tianzhu Peak before reaching the Transcending Tribulation period!"

"Stop reading that. We aren't disciples of the Cold Sword Immortal Sect, so we don't need to listen to his rambling. Let's just go."

After finishing his words, he pulled Ye Bufan along. With one step, they arrived at Tianzhu Peak.

At this moment, the light sphere was close at hand. Ye Bufan took another careful look.

From such close proximity, one can more clearly feel the energy it contains, and at the same time, there is a sense of ancient desolation.

After watching it, I couldn't help but feel: "I wonder when this thing was left behind"

"It must have been quite a while ago, like something from the ancient times, crafted by those old masters."

Xuanyuan Zhan Tian shook his head, his face full of urgency, "Don't just watch, seize the time and see if you can break this barrier."

Ye Bufan flipped his wrist, and the Dragon's Tooth appeared in his palm. In order to avoid making too much noise, he directly shrunk it to about a foot long.

He reached out and slashed at the barrier, but his unbreakable dragon fang was repelled by an invisible force, leaving not even a trace.

"You're useless!"

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian shook his head and said, "I've been researching this thing here for days, tried every possible way, but nothing works at all."

If you want to break in by force, it's not only too noisy and would alert the Hanjian Immortal Sect, but it wouldn't be something that could be accomplished quickly.

"The most important point is, if we overdo it and hurt the treasure inside, then we'll lose out. So we have to think of another way.”

"I'll see if I can absorb and refine it."

Ye Bufan had just used the Dragon's Tooth to test the toughness of this thing. The best outcome would be like the golden seal, absorbing and refining it to enhance his true essence.

Given the sheer power of this barrier, absorbing it would undoubtedly allow me to ascend to another level.

Thinking about this, he reached out and pressed his hand against the barrier, channeling a thread of chaotic true qi through it.

In the blink of an eye, the chaotic true qi and the barrier merged into one and were absorbed by the other party.

Ye Bufan's heart was filled with joy. Since they could combine with each other, he must be able to absorb them as well.

Thinking about this, he used his old method again, unleashing his Divine Sense Blade, hoping to cut a small piece of the barrier and slowly refine it.

But the result disappointed him. The divine sense blade slashed against the barrier and was directly bounced back, unable to penetrate it even a little bit, let alone cut it into pieces.

"This... This is way too solid, isn't it"

Ye Bufan was truly astonished. He didn't expect the barrier to be so strong.

"Old man, what's going on here Why can't my divine consciousness blade cut through this barrier I easily sliced through your seal back then."

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian blinked his little eyes and after a moment said, "I understand now, the seal back then was to seal me personally, so the powerful place is inside."

And this barrier was created to defend against intruders, the strongest point naturally being on the outside. Therefore, your divine sense blade simply couldn't cut through it.

"If you could enter the barrier, you could definitely break through it easily."

Ye Bufan glared at him fiercely: "Isn't this nonsense If I was going to enter the barrier, why would I cut anything I'd just take the treasure directly."

"Aren't I, an old man, teaching you this lesson"

Xuanyuan Zhantian also knew that what he said was unrealistic, and awkwardly smiled, "Since this method doesn't work, then use alien fire."

"Otherfire is a heavenly and earthly spirit, nothing can resist its flames, it will surely burn this thing away."

Then I'll give it a try!

Ye Bufan also felt that the old man's words were reasonable, and ultimately gave up the idea of absorbing the barrier.

He stretched out his hand, and a small blue flame appeared at his fingertips.

"Holy crap, only a few days have passed and your little fire has already leveled up! How did you do it"

Seeing the appearance of the heterofire, Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian was astonished.

Generally, heterofires are extremely rare, and it's even harder to upgrade them. I didn't expect the heterofire before me to actually have upgraded a level.

Ye Bufan didn't want to say too much, just simply replied: "I had a bit of luck in the Tenth Level Sky Piercing Tower."

"I didn't expect this tower to have such an effect. It's a pity that I'm too old to go in, otherwise, I would definitely take all the good things inside out."

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian said, “Since the alien fire has all upgraded, it should be able to break open this barrier. You hurry and try.”

Ye Bufan nodded and then controlled the strange fire to burn towards the ball of light in front of him. Soon, the blue flame completely enveloped the ball of light.

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian stood beside him, a pair of green bean-like eyes flickering with longing.

One minute passed, two minutes passed, a whole quarter of an hour had gone by, and the orb was still the same orb, the strange fire still that ball of strange fire, without any change.

"This… could it mean that the heteroflame has no effect on this barrier"

Ye Bufan changed his approach again, his flames transforming into a fire cone, which he focused on a single point and attacked fiercely.

But sparks flew, and the surrounding air rose by dozens of degrees, yet the barrier before them remained intact, unscathed.

In the end, he directly put away the heterofire.

"Old man, who set up this barrier The flames seem to have no effect."

"How would I know!"

Xuanyuan Zhantian also had a look of frustration on his face.

Originally, he had placed all his hopes on Ye Bufan. However, now that he couldn't absorb and refine true essence, and the strange fire was ineffective, it meant that this barrier before him was simply impossible to break through.

Ye Bufan also shook his head. He had already taken out all his trump cards, and he was still unable to break through this barrier. Then there was no other way.

"Old man, do you think this barrier of theirs can't be opened at all"

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian glared at him fiercely: "Nonsense, if there's no way to open it, why would he set it up There must be a way, we just haven't found it yet."

Ye Bufan said: "By the way, isn't it written there that those below the Tribulation Transcendence period are not allowed to enter Does that mean if your cultivation is insufficient to reach the Tribulation Transcendence period, you can't open it"

"Rubbish, I reached the Transcending Tribulation stage two thousand years ago, and I still can't break through."

As I see it, the secret method to open the barrier must be with the headmaster of the Cold Sword Immortal Sect. Either a special method is required, or their sect's unique true essence is needed. Other methods would be very difficult to break through.

"Well, it seems like we've wasted our trip. How about we head back now"

Ye Bufan shook his head and prepared to retreat, but just then, a white light flashed in his chest, and a plump little thing flew out, it was none other than Xiao Budian.rry, Brother Ye, I won't let you down!"Jiang Fangzhou stood up from the ground and said excitedly, "Brother Ye, so can I participate in the newcomer ranking match now"Of course.Ye Bufan said with cert...
