Ye Fan + Zi Xia
Just as rumors were spreading like wildfire, in an unnamed cave in the Eastern Wasteland...
Zhou Tong and Pang Bo were sitting there chatting and drinking.
"Hahaha!!"
Pang Bo laughed loudly, "The outside world is saying that Purple Haze Fairy will become the most powerful force against us! It's hilarious! Haha! How could they possibly imagine that the successor of the Wu Shi the Great is just a few of us!"
Pang Bo laughed loudly and glanced at Purple Haze Fairy not far away.
Not far away, Purple Haze Fairy was sitting there with a blank expression.
Purple Haze Fairy was no longer as spirited as before. She was depressed and dejected, with feelings of fear, anger, numbness, and bitterness mixed in. It was as if she had encountered the most devastating setback in her life and could no longer face the rest of her life.
Ye Fan sat down next to Purple Haze Fairy, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Pang Bo, you betrayed me!!" Ye Fan suddenly turned to look at Pang Bo, a hint of anger on his face.
"Little Ye Zi, this has nothing to do with me. Go ask Little Tyrant!" Pang Bo decisively distanced himself from the matter.
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! The two of you resonate with each other's physiques. The Saint Body and the Dao Embryo can resonate with each other, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Tong turned his head and said leisurely.
"You two... bastards!!" Ye Fan cursed under his breath.
"Instead of blaming us, you should think back to your behavior last night! If you didn't have the will and self-control, how could this have happened? →_→" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and spoke with conviction.
"Bullshit! If you hadn't gotten me drunk, I..." Ye Fan was speechless and indignant. In the end, he was the one being blamed for this.
"What do you mean, 'you'? It's just mortal wine. How could it get you, a half-step great power, drunk? Stop making excuses. Explanations are just cover-ups. You should comfort Purple Haze Fairy while you're still okay! →_→" Zhou Tong said with a look of disdain.
"Yeah, Little Ye Zi, you've already gotten a great deal, don't complain about it now. →_→"
Pang Bo laughed heartily, then looked at Purple Haze Fairy: "Purple Haze Fairy, don't make that face. You'll have to thank us after the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo! The Wu Shi the Great was Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, which is why he had such an invincible life, hahaha!"
"And look at our little Ye Zi, she's stunningly beautiful, handsome, and has an extraordinary presence. At her age, she's already a half-step into a great power. Can your Holy Son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land do that? Of course not! Marrying our little Ye Zi is a huge win for you! And last night, you seemed to enjoy it quite a bit!" Pang Bo continued to provoke Purple Haze Fairy.
Zi Xia: ...
She still displayed that complex and intense mix of emotions: numbness, fear, anger, and more.
"Pang Bo!" Ye Fan rarely scolded Pang Bo.
"Having a wife really changes you, huh! →_→" Zhou Tong chuckled. "You two can handle this yourselves, we're not getting involved! Hahaha! Pang Bo, let's go!"
As Zhou Tong spoke, he pulled Pang Bo out.
"Little Tyrant, how long do you think it will take to give birth to Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?" Pang Bo asked with some doubt.
"Who knows? But the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to have offspring. Their current cultivation levels should be just right!" Zhou Tong was also unsure when the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo would appear.
The Western Empress and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body spent countless years of their lives, yet Wu Shi one son, Wushi; in the original story, Ye Fan's son also took a lifetime to be born.
The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo can be born, but the yield is extremely low, and it is impossible to keep giving birth indefinitely.
Pang Bo suddenly nudged Zhou Tong's shoulder with his elbow and asked, "Little Tyrant, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can give birth to an Innate Hegemon Body Dao Embryo!"
Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Pang Bo and said, "Putting aside the fact that I have no interest in Zi Xia to begin with, the fact that she possesses Innate Hegemon Body Dao Embryo is highly unlikely..."
"Why?" Pang Bo, somewhat curious.
"In terms of physical strength, whether it's the physique of True Dragon, Immortal Phoenix, or Kirin, or the supreme physique of the human race such as the Chaos Body or the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, they are all superior to my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body. But when it comes to the domineering nature of bloodline, my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body is undoubtedly number one!"
"The Primordial Sacred Body is highly inclusive, so it can be hybridized at will. It can basically accommodate any physique that is at the same level as or even slightly inferior to the Primordial Sacred Body, forming a terrifying physique. However, the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body does not have this inclusiveness. This physique is extremely domineering. If I were to combine with the Innate Dao Embryo, my offspring would probably not be able to inherit any of the characteristics of the Dao Embryo."
Zhou Tong's guess was also based on some evidence.
The basis is the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, where almost all the beings are descendants of the Hegemon Body bloodline and all exhibit the characteristics of the Hegemonic Blood. If the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body were not so domineering, how could it be possible for the beings on almost an entire Life Planet to have the Hegemonic Blood?
Moreover, the domineering nature of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body is not only reflected in its bloodline, but also in the suppressive power of this physique. Wherever the Hegemon Body is present, it will naturally suppress the cultivation of other bloodlines.
"The Hegemon Body Bloodline is the most domineering in the world?" Pang Bo was somewhat skeptical. "I've heard that the Battle Saint Ape clan is also extremely domineering. The offspring of the Battle Saint Ape and any other bloodline are Battle Saint Ape."
Back in Jade Pool, Pang Bo and Ye Fan had spoken with the Holy Imperial Son many times, so they were quite familiar with the Battle Saint Ape.
At this point, Pang Bo suddenly became interested. "Tell me, if the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body and the Battle Saint Ape Clan were to unite, what would be born? Would it be the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body or the Battle Saint Ape? Whose bloodline would be more dominant?"
"Will it give birth to some kind of tyrannical monkey?" Pang Bo's eyes revealed intense curiosity.
"Pang Bo, you should mind your own business. You're neither human nor demon, you might as well just be called a transvestite!" Zhou Tong glared at Pang Bo and immediately retorted.
"Damn, that's so rude of you! 'Transvestite' is such an offensive term!" Pang Bo exclaimed, his hair standing on end. The word "transvestite" was incredibly hurtful.
"How dare you say that to me?" Zhou Tong glanced at Pang Bo sideways.
"Little Tyrant, I'm telling you, since you embarked on the path of cultivation, it seems like you haven't been interested in any girls. All you do is cultivate all day long. Haven't you ever thought about getting married and having children?" Pang Bo's gossipy nature was reignited.
"We'll talk about it when we meet the right person. There aren't many people we can find attractive right now!" Zhou Tong said casually.
"There are so many holy lands and Saintess in the Big Dipper, and you can't even find one you like? Your standards are too high!" Pang Bo complained.
"What's the use of being beautiful? The higher your cultivation level, the more perfect your body will be. How many ugly men and women are there in the cultivation world?" Zhou Tong said leisurely. "Moreover, the essence of those Saintess is no different from that of ordinary women. The only difference is the level of their cultivation."
"Before we were put on the wanted list, how many people were truly friends with us? They weren't interested in the cultivators themselves, but in our backgrounds. To put it bluntly, we weren't in their circle!"
Zhou Tong's voice was calm, but in fact, this was the current state of the Big Dipper cultivation world!
Those holy sites controlled too many resources, almost monopolizing the entire cultivation world, which led to irreconcilable conflicts between independent cultivators and holy sites.
The Holy Son and Saintess of the holy land look down on rogue cultivators. No matter how strong a rogue cultivator is, they are still inferior in their eyes.
Just like the Feng Huang in the original work, even though there were a series of events that showed Ye Fan was going to surpass the Golden-Winged Little Peng King and had more potential than the Golden-Winged Little Peng King, she still insisted on supporting the Golden-Winged Little Peng King.
The reason is simply the inherently opposing class issue of "nobles" and "commoners".
It's because "nobles" can't let go of their arrogance and reserve when facing "commoners," otherwise, how could there be so many problems?
Especially when they discover that "commoners" are more outstanding than they imagined, they will do anything to suppress them in order to maintain their arrogant and condescending attitude towards "commoners".
The Azure Emperor Lineage has long since declined, but Yan Ruyu is always treated as an honored guest wherever she goes, and people always look up to her. However, even if a capable commoner makes a name for himself, he will still be labeled as a "demon king" or something similar.
Even in the original novel, the Ji Family only took notice of Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue after Ye Fan displayed his "invincible" power and advanced to the Great Sage.
Imagine if Ye Fan hadn't been born a commoner, but rather a "noble" like them, would Ye Fan have needed to wait until the Great Sage to be with Ji Ziyue? He probably would have married Ji Ziyue long ago, and the whole Wang Teng incident wouldn't have happened in the first place!
Within the Holy Land, there are indeed monks who have seen through all of this and transcended this class discrimination, but they are very, very few.
That's why the relationship between Source Heaven Master Zhang Lin and the Jade Pool Saintess was so precious back then!
Because it is rare, it is beautiful!
Because it is rare, it is precious!
Unfortunately, the beautiful and precious story of Source Heaven Master Zhang Lin and the Jade Pool Saintess was ultimately broken up due to the rules of Jade Pool.
