Ye Tianfan entered it and was immediately hit by a cold gust of wind, icy to the bone. Fortunately, Ye Tianfan's cultivation was extremely high, so he didn't feel too much discomfort.

  Ye Tianfan continued to walk in, the entire cave was somewhat dark and humid, it was clear that the people of Mo Men had deliberately chosen this place, they liked this kind of place the most. This kind of place was a terrible place for Orthodox cultivators to cultivate, but for demonic cultivators, it was an excellent place to cultivate.

  Ye Tianfan continued walking in, and after almost an hour, the entire cave suddenly appeared with three forks in the road, which made Ye Tianfan difficult.

  Ye Tianfan was indeed at a loss, not knowing where to go. The surroundings looked almost the same, without any significant difference. The only difference might be the location of these three caves.

  Always indecisive, Ye Tianfan finally gritted his teeth and decided to randomly choose one to enter, because in Ye Tianfan's opinion, these caves would generally have a common point, and if he found that place, there would be a way.

  Having made up his mind, Ye Tianfan directly chose the middle path to enter. After all, he couldn't find anything anyway, and walking in the middle seemed better to him.

  However, Ye Tianfan did not expect that the thinking mode of the demonic path would be very different from that of normal people. Generally, people on the demonic path are more extreme and have different ideas.

  So, Ye Tianfan walked along this road and finally didn't find the place where those magic gates gathered, but instead came to a dirty and smelly place.

  Ye Tianfan gazed out, and here were probably several hundred to nearly a thousand people in tattered clothes. Seeing these people locked up here, some had their cultivation abolished, while others who were ordinary humans seemed dazed and expressionless, clearly having endured a lot of suffering.

  Ye Tianfan thought to himself, this must be the place where they detain people who were caught in the past in this city. He couldn't believe it had changed like this in such a short period of time.

  Ye Tianfan saw the appearance of these people, although very sympathetic, and wanted to release them immediately. However, he had not thoroughly understood the situation inside, and if he rashly released them, it would alarm the people of the Demon Gate.

  Ye Tianfan didn't care, but for these ordinary people now, it's difficult. And he himself may not be able to save so many people after all, since he can't possibly fight against everyone in the cave by himself.

  At that time they still had the power to capture these ordinary people, and as long as those Mo Men were not stupid, killing a few people would be enough to intimidate everyone, making them dare not escape.

  So Ye Tianfan did not disturb the people here, but quietly left and planned to rescue everyone after figuring out the situation himself.

  Ye Tianfan did not return along the original road, but instead walked along another path beside this seemingly living room-like place where many people were detained.

  Not long after, Ye Tianfan arrived at another place with many large and small stone houses. There were numerous Golden Dan period cultivators and a few Yuan Ying period cultivators busy preparing some kind of equipment.

  Ye Tianfan knew that he had arrived at the resting place of the Mo Gate disciples, so the last cave entrance he was looking for must be where the elders lived. Therefore, Ye Tianfan didn't bother with these Mo Gate disciples and continued walking through the mountain caves he hadn't traversed yet.

  Finally, Ye Tianfan arrived at the end of the cave, where the elders lived. As soon as he entered, he knew he had found the right place.

  Because it's much better in here, many things are made of jade, except for the elders of the Demon Gate, who else would do this? Moreover, Ye Tianfan heard that the higher the status of the Demon Gate people, the more luxurious their residence is.

  It is said that a powerful sorcerer once spent decades and used countless wealth to build a magnificent palace made entirely of gold and jade for himself.

  Unfortunately, this giant pillar is unknown whether it has ascended to the magical world or fallen. Anyway, since he disappeared, that luxurious palace has been nowhere to be found.

  This also made Ye Tianfan, who knew about this matter, somewhat regretful. He had not been able to see this luxurious imperial palace and did not know if he would have the opportunity to see it in the future.

  Ye Tianfan had found the place, so he carefully extended a weak thread of divine sense to take a look at the situation. However, it was blocked by a layer of prohibition just as it went out, and if Ye Tianfan hadn't reacted quickly and withdrawn it in time, his divine sense would have been discovered due to its slight dispersal.

  Ye Tianfan had been studying the knowledge of formations and restrictions intensively since he encountered the restriction on the back mountain with Xie Qianqiu, so Ye Tianfan knew that this was a special isolation of divine sense and exploration of divine sense fluctuations. Once there is a divine sense fluctuation, it will almost be detected. If Ye Tianfan's cultivation wasn't much higher than the person who set up the formation, he would have been discovered.

  Through the ban, Ye Tianfan could see that there were four people inside, obviously they were the four elders, but he couldn't see through the ban and couldn't see clearly what cultivation level these people had.

  There was no way out, since he couldn't rely solely on his spiritual sense to listen, Ye Tianfan could only rely on his own understanding of the Five Elements Balance Principle and merge his spiritual sense into it.

  After being baptized by his ancestor, Mu Ling Xian Jun's seal, Ye Tianfan can now unlock many seals. Compared to the seals set up by the founder of the sect, Mu Ling Xian Jun, this is just child's play.

  The only thing that's difficult is that you can't touch even a single thread of the ban, otherwise you'll be discovered, and all your previous efforts will be in vain.

  Soon, Ye Tianfan's senses had fully merged with the seal, and he was no longer distinguishable from it. It was as if the seal was himself, and he was the seal.

  Although Ye Tianfan had experienced it several times, he was still fascinated by this magical experience, because not only could it allow Ye Tianfan to break through the seal, but also make him understand the underlying principles.

  The underlying principle is what people call the Tao. The more one comprehends the Tao, the higher their realm will be. In other words, Ye Tianfan's integration into the Forbidden Zone has great benefits for his own cultivation and realm advancement.

  This made Ye Tianfan even more understand a classic phrase: all things have the Way, all things can become the Way, and the Way is contained in all things.

  The meaning is that the reason why all things exist in the world is a kind of Tao, and all things have the opportunity to become Tao and attain Tao. The Tao is hidden in the reason why all things possess Tao.

  Ye Tianfan savored the underlying meaning while also remembering his purpose for coming here, and so he listened intently.

  All four of them looked like old men, but their auras were different. The one in the middle seemed to have the strongest aura, and Ye Tianfan guessed that this person was the leader here.

  One of them said, "The materials for the Soul Refining Banner are almost ready, and those captured people have been tortured to the point where they will soon become the most ferocious vengeful spirits. After killing them, the power of the Soul Refining Banner will definitely increase greatly, and defeating the righteous way is just a matter of time."

  Another person also echoed: "Yes, as long as it is refined, it will definitely be able to defeat the Orthodox, this is the result of our gathering the power of multiple schools of Demon Dao to refine."

  The leader nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. As long as we can really refine it, we can defeat the Orthodox Sect. The reason why the Orthodox Sect always wins in the end is because of the middle-grade immortal artifacts left behind by their ancestors. If we can refine the Soul Banner, we don't have to be afraid of their artifacts. After all, our Soul Banner is targeted at the divine sense and soul."

  Ye Tianfan was secretly shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: I didn't expect the Demon Gate to be preparing for a war against the Righteous Sect, and they've even come up with a way to counter the Demon Gate.
