If the Giant Python disregards everything and directly swallows the Purple Heart Coral to escape, Ye Feng would not necessarily waste time chasing it. After all, once the spiritual medicine is consumed, even if Ye Feng kills it, he would not be able to obtain the Purple Heart Coral.
With little time left, Ye Feng clearly would not spend too much time pursuing the Giant Python. Generally speaking, once a spiritual medicine is swallowed by a beast, even if it cannot be completely consumed in a short time, it becomes ineffective for humans due to contamination by demonic energy.
This Giant Python has ruled the nearby area for many years, and few beasts dare to approach its territory. Moreover, having grown up in this space without ever seeing a human, the aura from Ye Feng made it regard him as an ordinary beast daring to offend it. Thus, it charged out of its cave as usual, intending to kill Ye Feng on the spot.
Ye Feng's displayed strength quickly made the Giant Python realize something was wrong. After several attacks were thwarted and suffering a heavy blow that left it severely injured, the Giant Python was filled with dread and immediately chose to retreat back into its cave, wanting to swallow the Purple Heart Coral.
Once swallowed, due to the Giant Python's innate physical talents, it could immediately absorb a portion of the medicinal power, greatly enhancing its strength and surpassing Ye Feng in an instant.
Unfortunately for it, although Ye Feng could not guess the Giant Python's intentions, he would not let it escape easily. By coincidence, just as Ye Feng wanted to test out his recently mastered Spiral Sword Dance, he managed to slay the Giant Python with one strike before it could retreat into the cave!
Had Ye Feng not performed this Spiral Sword Dance and instead continued using Thousand Layer Sword, he would have only inflicted minor injuries and allowed it to escape with the Purple Heart Coral.
It must be said that the current situation is extremely unfortunate for this Giant Python or perhaps incredibly lucky for Ye Feng.
However, Ye Feng was unaware that he had almost missed out on this ancient miraculous medicine and could have very well lost his life to the evolved Giant Python.
He shook his head, unable to comprehend why the Black Python did not consume the Purple Heart Coral. Squatting down, he carefully examined the Purple Heart Coral and noticed that the ninth branch seemed to be newly grown—its color was crystal clear and fresh, quite pleasing.
The Pharmacopoeia did not record how this medicine should be harvested. Therefore, Ye Feng simply took out the entire Purple Heart Coral along with a small piece of soil nearby and transplanted it into the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron.
The storage space of the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron is different from ordinary storage bags and Storage Rings; it can autonomously absorb external Heaven and Earth Origin Power for storage. It is perfectly suitable for keeping living things like spiritual medicines.
As for how to use the Purple Heart Coral, Ye Feng couldn't think of a good method at the moment, as there were no similar records in the Pharmacopoeia.
The Pharmacopoeia states that the medicinal power stored in a year-round Purple Heart Coral is equivalent to the accumulation of Heaven and Earth Origin Power by a remarkably talented martial artist after a hundred years of hard training. If fully absorbed, it would be like having trained for an additional hundred years without any effort.
This is just one of the effects of the Nine-Heart Purple Coral. Additionally, consuming Purple Heart Coral significantly enhances a martial artist's potential for cultivation and can extend their lifespan by an extra two hundred years. With such miraculous properties, how could Ye Feng not be excited?
In the Divine Martial Continent, once humans embark on the path of martial arts and become Martial Realm warriors, living to be a hundred years old is not particularly difficult.
However, human bodily functions are limited. Once a Martial Realm warrior exceeds a hundred years of age, they will quickly weaken and gradually approach death unless they elevate their cultivation to the Origin Martial Realm and use Vital Energy to refine their bodies anew, thus regaining vitality.
Origin Martial Realm warriors have a lifespan of one hundred fifty years. Unless they can continue to elevate their cultivation to the Gangwu Realm within fifty years and refine their Vital Energy into True Essence, they can only extend their lifespan by another fifty years.
However, after surpassing two hundred years of age, even if a Gangwu Realm warrior possesses great strength, they will gradually perish due to dwindling vitality.
Warriors who comprehend the minor domain in the Xuanwu Realm transcend ordinary limits and undergo a transformation that significantly increases their lifespan to five hundred years, earning them admiration and envy from others, often being revered as Martial Saints. Countless warriors have stagnated at the peak of the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm, just one step away from comprehending the minor domain, only to die with regrets due to exhausted lifespans and declining vitality.
The importance of lifespan for warriors is evident.
In the Divine Martial Continent, while there are elixirs that can increase lifespan, they are extremely rare and often provide only limited extensions—usually just over ten years. Even so, they attract frenzied competition among countless warriors.
The Purple Heart Coral, which can extend lifespan by two hundred years, would elicit an astonishing reaction from the world if known to outsiders; Ye Feng could hardly imagine it!
It is feared that even those reclusive Old Monsters from the Divine Martial Realm would be stirred by such news.
However, the Alchemist who compiled the Pharmacopoeia also noted that the effects of Purple Heart Coral recorded in it are derived from some fragmented ancient texts and legends; very few people know its true efficacy. Nonetheless, its medicinal power comparable to a century's worth of Vital Energy is indisputable since it has absorbed nine thousand years' worth of Heaven and Earth Origin Power. The potency contained within Nine-Heart Purple Coral is certainly greater than that of a century's Vital Energy.
Such a miraculous ancient elixir, Ye Feng speculated that there must be a special method of consumption. To avoid wasting it, he decided to wait until he returned to the Celestial Extremity Sect and consulted relevant ancient texts before considering it further.
With the task accomplished, Ye Feng naturally would not linger. However, as he was leaving the cave, he couldn't help but take one last look at the Black Python.
"This giant python must still have some valuable parts, but my skills in collecting beast materials are rather average. I fear I would waste too much time. Well then, I'll leave you with a complete corpse!" Ye Feng said with a light smile. Seeing that time was getting late, he activated the Wind Treading Step and transformed into a streak of green light, flying toward the agreed-upon location by the lake.
The lake shimmered under the sunlight, and a gentle breeze blew.
When Ye Feng arrived at the designated spot, he found Huang Yao and the others already waiting nearby, quietly discussing something.
Ye Feng chuckled lightly, drawing the attention of Huang Yao and his companions.
They had arrived half an hour early to wait on this patch of ground by the lake.
Due to varying strengths of their Soul Thoughts, each of the four had different gains. However, this mysterious space was indeed a rare treasure trove, with high-quality elixirs over a hundred years old scattered everywhere. The four had gathered quite a bounty.
With the Purple Heart Coral in hand, Ye Feng was in high spirits. Even though he tried to suppress it, his joy was clearly written on his face.
"Brother Zhou seems to have done well!" They thought that with Ye Feng's Four Elemental Universe Cauldron enhancing his Soul Thought, his harvest must be significantly richer than theirs.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Not bad. You all waited here so early; were you worried I would leave you behind and depart alone?"
Knowing it was just teasing, Huang Yao and his companions still managed awkward smiles.
They were indeed a bit concerned; after all, only Ye Feng knew the exit of this space. If an accident occurred and they were forced to remain in this collapsing area, they would undoubtedly face death.
Although the elixir is excellent, one must have a life to enjoy it. Therefore, the four did not dare to venture too far and only gathered some herbs nearby. As time approached, the crack in the sky gradually widened, looking quite alarming, prompting them to return to the lakeside early.
"Alright, just a joke, everyone shouldn't take it too seriously. Let's go!"
Ye Feng did not waste words; he could not accurately predict the exact time of the spatial collapse, so it was best to leave early.
Under his lead, the five jumped into the lake one after another and quickly dove down.
The water was icy cold, but it did not significantly affect Ye Feng and the others. As late-stage Origin Martial Realm practitioners, they could withstand this bit of chill.
As they dove deeper into the lake, the pressure of the water increased. Huang Yao and the others were astonished to find that after nearly half an hour of diving, they still had not reached the lake bottom.
Their diving speed was not slow; logically speaking, they should have descended over ten miles by now, yet they still had not reached the bottom of the lake.
Ye Feng continued to lead in silence ahead, his expression calm as if he had anticipated this.
The depth they had descended had far exceeded the range of sunlight penetrating through, and around Ye Feng and the others was complete darkness.
A sense of oppressive tension gradually spread in Huang Yao and her companions' hearts. They never expected that the depth of this lake would be so terrifying.
Before long, a large area of faint white light appeared ahead.
The five focused their eyes and were surprised to see a small cluster of buildings. Judging by their outlines, they bore a resemblance to the grand hall in the Underground Palace.
To their astonishment, a grand hall had been constructed deep within the lake bottom. The group exchanged glances, and even Ye Feng felt extremely surprised.
He sensed the spatial fluctuations coming from Lake Bottom but did not expect the disturbance to originate from the hall within Lake Bottom.
"The water pressure is too strong; our strength is greatly suppressed. If any danger arises, it will be difficult to escape. Everyone, be cautious," Ye Feng warned, slowing down.
Huang Yao and the others quickly gathered around, their expressions serious and tense.
In the water, the five could only communicate through Vital Energy.
"It's similar to the hall of the Underground Palace. If the Hall Door is sealed by Restrictions like the one outside, we will be in trouble," Ye Feng said.
"Aren't there three other spatial passages?" Huang Yao asked curiously.
Ye Feng shook his head, his expression grave. "The spatial passage on the opposite side of the lake is likely to encounter those from Blue Stream Villa, and both spatial passages at Lake Bottom originate from this hall!"
The four of them changed their expressions slightly, feeling some regret for entering this space.
Although they had obtained many high-quality spiritual herbs from this area, these herbs were useless compared to their lives.
"Let's take a look; our luck shouldn't be that bad!" Ye Feng recalled the Purple Heart Coral he had just acquired, and his heavy mood lightened considerably.
Continuing to descend, they reached the entrance of the Hall Door. Ye Feng was momentarily taken aback.
The structure of the Giant Door was very similar to that of the Giant Door in the Underground Palace, featuring strange Patterns and hexagonal grooves.
However, a hexagonal Bronze artifact had already been embedded in the groove.
"We finally have some luck!" Ye Feng laughed loudly and slapped the Hall Door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A tremendous thundering sound echoed, deafeningly loud, as the tightly sealed Giant Door indeed split open from the middle and began to move slowly.
The Bronze artifact on the hexagonal groove also fell in response, landing in Ye Feng's hand.
Huang Yao and the others looked at the Bronze artifact in Ye Feng's hand with shining eyes, revealing expressions of envy.
Clearly, this hexagonal Bronze artifact was the "key" to opening the Giant Door's Restriction. With this key, all Hall Doors in the Underground Palace that had similar Restrictions could be easily opened.
Thinking about the treasures that were about to be theirs, their excitement gradually grew, and their gazes toward Ye Feng became even more fervent.
