Resources
"As long as we find that person, there might still be hope!" Ye Fan's heart was filled with renewed hope.
Zhou Tong bluntly retorted, "You'd better forget about those two Immortal Divine Medicine. One of them is damaged, with only roots remaining. It will take at least several thousand years of nourishment from the Divine Spring to recover."
"The other divine herb is just a seed. It will take at least three or four thousand years to grow into fruit. If you only have the seed, it's probably not very useful."
"Therefore, those two Immortal Divine Medicine in the Holy City are of no use to you. Unless you can wait three or four thousand years until those two Immortal Divine Medicine bloom and bear fruit."
"Three or four thousand years..." Ye Fan's hope was Annihilation once again.
"Of course, the methods are not limited to just the Divine King Blood and the Immortal Divine Medicine!" Zhou Tong chuckled. "In fact, as long as you can find a Great Emperor to intervene, the curse can be easily broken."
"The Azure Emperor has been dead for tens of thousands of years, so where did this Great Emperor come from now!" Ji Ziyue was speechless.
These methods are all increasingly difficult and unreliable.
Looking at Ye Fan, who was already in despair, Zhou Tong said, "In fact, there is one last way, and that is the Life Forbidden Zone! As long as you hide in the Life Forbidden Zone, those curses will mostly be unable to harm you!"
"Can one really avoid the curse inside the Life Forbidden Zone?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up.
It's hard to say about other Forbidden Zone, but he's been to the Primordial Forbidden Land several times and knows it very well. Although it's full of dangers, it's definitely not a dead end; there's still hope.
Zhou Tong nodded heavily. "If even the Life Forbidden Zone cannot avoid the curse, then your kind of curse is probably unsolvable as well."
Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan, his heart also filled with curiosity.
The Ruthless Great Emperor values Ye Fan so highly; she couldn't possibly be unaware of the curse on the Primordial Sacred Body. If that's the case, does the Ruthless Great Emperor possess any means to help Ye Fan break the curse?
The original novel didn't mention it because the Ruthless Great Emperor didn't even need to intervene; the curse was cleansed by Jiang Taixu using his Divine King Blood. Now, Jiang Taixu has no reason to help Ye Fan, and besides Jiang Taixu, where else in the Big Dipper can one find a divine Divine King Body capable of achieving sainthood?
"What a great opportunity! This is a perfect chance to test the Ruthless Great Emperor's backup plan!" Zhou Tong was also incredibly curious. He wanted to see what methods the Ruthless Great Emperor had left behind to ensure Ye Fan's success in achieving Dao.
Zhou Tong was quite excited at the thought.
With his weak body, he tested the Great Emperor's methods; and the Great Emperor was unaware of it!
"I understand, thank you, Zhou Tong!" Ye Fan took a deep breath and said finally.
Having learned the reason why his physique "prevents cultivation" and some solutions, Ye Fan's heart was filled with hope for the future. As long as he could overcome that hurdle, he would no longer be a "Desolate Ancient Waste Body," but a true "Primordial Sacred Body"!
"Don't be too happy yet!" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said calmly.
"Is there still something wrong with the Primordial Sacred Body?" Ye Fan became nervous again.
"The stronger the physique, the more terrifying the resources consumed during cultivation!" Zhou Tong said, looking at Ye Fan. "I believe you already have some understanding of this."
Ye Fan nodded. Only he knew exactly how many resources he had consumed to cultivate to his current level. Those were a hundred times more resources than others!
Zhou Tong knew all too well just how terrifyingly powerful a physique was in terms of the resources it consumed.
The two sons of the Undying Heavenly Emperor had drained the Creation Spring Eye before they were born. The power contained in each Creation Spring Eye was no weaker than the so-called tens of millions of jin of Source, and was even many times stronger.
Furthermore, the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, upon birth, begins to devour the spiritual energy of an entire ancient star.
Compared to these physical constitutions, the Saint Body and the Hegemon Body consume relatively little energy.
Zhou Tong continued, "You're only at the Sea of Wheels Realm right now, so the resources you consume for cultivation are probably only a hundred times that of an ordinary person. Once you reach the Dao Palace Realm, you'll know just how many resources this physique requires."
"How many resources?" Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.
"The Dao Palace First Heaven requires at least jin of Source energy, the second level requires at least jin of Source, the third level requires at least 10,000 jin of Source, the fourth level requires at least 100,000 jin of Source, and the fifth level requires at least 1 million jin of Source. To break through to the Dao Palace Realm, you need at least 10 million jin of Source!" Zhou Tong said softly.
"So many!" Ji Ziyue exclaimed.
Ye Fan was also frightened. He had been hunted down by the Jiang Family for so long because of a small piece of source material. How could he possibly obtain hundreds, thousands, or even tens of millions of kilograms of source material?
"Wait, something's not right!"
At this moment, Ji Ziyue looked at Zhou Tong with a hint of surprise. "Since it takes so many resources, how did you break through to the Dao Palace Realm? Did you obtain tens of millions of jin of Source?"
"I naturally have my own methods!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "There are many things you don't know!"
Then, Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan and continued, "Ten million jin of Source may seem like a lot, but it's nothing to those Ancient Desolate Family. Ye Fan, if you want to raise those ten million jin of Source, the simplest way is to go and join an Ancient Desolate Family and get their full support."
"Good!"
Ji Ziyue immediately smiled, looking at Ye Fan triumphantly. "If you don't release me, I can introduce you to our Ji Family. If you perform well, you might even be able to learn our Ji Family's ' Void Scripture '."
"Ten million jin of Source..." Ye Fan was silent for a moment, then said, "If your Ji Family can really provide me with ten million jin of Source, I wouldn't mind joining in. But you probably don't have the authority to decide on ten million jin of Source!"
Ye Fan glanced at Ji Ziyue with disdain and continued, "Moreover, Ancient Desolate Family like the Ji Family probably has no reason to throw such a large amount of resources at me for no reason. Your Ji Family may not be a united front!"
Before coming to the cultivation world, Ye Fan was a successful person in society, so he knew very well that such large families were similar to large companies, and there must be a lot of shady dealings involved.
Even if it's something that the big boss has decided on, there will always be a lot of "little devils" trying their best to obstruct it.
Unless the "big boss" of the Ji Family protects him throughout, joining the Ji Family will be useless!
"The Ji Family is currently focusing on cultivating that Divine Body, so there's no point in you joining now."
Zhou Tong interjected, "If you really want to join the Ji Family, that's fine too. I can even help you out. I'll just kill Ji Haoyue next time, then joining the Ji Family will be useful. Otherwise, how can an outsider like you compete for resources with the Divine Body of the Ji Family's main branch?"
"You two..." Ji Ziyue looked at Ye Fan and Zhou Tong in disbelief.
Unbridled!
The two of them were openly discussing their plan to kill his brother and infiltrate the Ji Family right in front of him!
