Discussion in Divine City soared into the heavens!
The mysterious Peerless Expert, Emperor Wushi's inheritance, the slaughter of Primordial Creatures, and more were brought up again and again.
Before long, even more explosive news spread: Jiang Taixu, the Divine King from four thousand years ago, was still alive!
The situation throughout Divine City suddenly became strange. Every faction was on the move, each harboring unfathomable intentions.
Li Ping, meanwhile, acted as though nothing had happened. He walked through Divine City with the Void Emperor, introducing him to the changes of the past hundred thousand years.
Suddenly, a familiar figure entered his sight, and an indescribable smile appeared on Li Ping's face.
"While your master was away, you've certainly been doing well for yourself!" Li Ping said.
The person before him was his disciple, Ye Fan. To quickly gain Shock Value, he naturally would not overlook the future Emperor Ye.
When the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin set sail, he had taken Ye Fan as his disciple, but he had not interfered with Ye Fan's growth.
Just as he had expected, he gained plenty of Shock Value as Ye Fan gradually grew stronger.
Ye Fan had contributed greatly to his rapid accumulation of one billion Shock Value and the resurrection of the Void Emperor.
Ye Fan was stopped in his tracks and immediately jumped in fright. Once he saw who it was, he was overjoyed.
"Master, it's you! You nearly scared me to death! Why have you come?" Ye Fan said happily.
His master was truly unreliable. Aside from taking him in as a disciple and teaching him how to cultivate, Li Ping had barely cared about him at all.
During this time, he had become the public enemy of the Eastern Wasteland and had nearly been beaten to death by the various sacred lands, yet his master still had not appeared.
He had already given up hope. What else could he do? He was helpless too!
"You've been doing quite well, haven't you? You've even become a little Origin Master!" Li Ping said with a smile.
Using Origin Technique to alter his appearance, Ye Fan had transformed from a Sacred Body hunted by everyone into a genius of Origin Technique.
During this period, Ye Fan had thrived in Divine City and was sought after by the various sacred lands.
But if Li Ping remembered correctly, the holy sons and holy daughters of those sacred lands were currently being suppressed inside the Blazing Divine Furnace by Ye Fan.
"Master! You have no idea! I nearly got beaten to death by the various sacred lands!" Ye Fan said bitterly.
Did he want to change his appearance?
He had been forced into it. If his identity were exposed now, the various sacred lands would immediately come knocking to kill him.
But now that his master had arrived, things were different.
He did not know his master's true strength, but in his eyes, his master was unfathomably mysterious.
Since his master had neglected his disciple first, he could not blame this disciple for setting his master up.
"You are about to break through, so I specifically found a powerful expert for you," Li Ping said.
The Void Emperor remained silent, but he heard every word of the conversation between Li Ping and Ye Fan.
He had always had one question: why had the Heavenly Court issued the task of "protecting the Sacred Body's path"?
Ten thousand Points was no small sum. Why was the Heavenly Court being so generous?
After seeing Ye Fan, he became even more confused!
Ye Fan was indeed a Sacred Body, but he was only in the Dao Palace Realm. Was he worth the Heavenly Court's investment?
Now, he understood. The Heavenly Court's issuance of this task was surely connected to Li Ping.
Perhaps Li Ping had issued the task himself, all to help his disciple Ye Fan break through the restrictions of heaven and earth.
For that reason, the way he looked at Li Ping had become somewhat strange.
They were both members of the Heavenly Court, so why did this person have so many Points?
If he received several more tasks like this, would he not be able to revive the Sacred Body seniors?
"Really? Thank you, Master!" Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.
He knew well that since the Post-Ancient Era, the Sacred Body had been restricted by heaven and earth, making cultivation exceptionally difficult.
For a long time, no Sacred Body had been able to break through into the Four Extremes Realm. It was an insurmountable chasm now standing directly before him.
"This is Senior Void. If you want to break through, you will need Senior Void's help," Li Ping said.
Ye Fan turned curiously and saw an utterly ordinary middle-aged man, no different from any common person.
This was the senior his master had specifically invited to help him break through?
He looked so unremarkable, nothing like a powerful expert. Was his master really not fooling him?
"Greetings, Senior Void!"
For his master's sake, Ye Fan still respectfully bowed.
The Void Emperor nodded. His eyes were filled with wistfulness, as though he had recalled the glorious years of the past.
"Heaven and earth have changed. I never expected the Sacred Body to decline to such a state!" the Void Emperor sighed.
Back then, when humanity had no emperor, the Nine Sacred Bodies emerged one after another, fighting bloody battles beneath the heavens to hold up a sky for humanity.
They had been honored as humanity's Sacred Bodies not because of their formidable combat power, but because of their unparalleled achievements!
As time passed, the once incomparably glorious Sacred Bodies had become useless bodies that found cultivation difficult?
If the Sacred Body seniors knew in the afterlife what their lineage had become, how heartbroken would they be?
The Sacred Body seniors had once protected his path, giving him the chance to grow. Now, he would hold up a sky for the Sacred Body!
Restrictions of heaven and earth? Then he would shatter the heavens!
Ye Fan stared in astonishment. He did not know whether it was merely an illusion, but in that instant, Senior Void had become completely different.
He still looked utterly ordinary, yet he now gave off a soul-stirring aura.
Moreover, for some reason, he felt that Senior Void looked familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before.
It seemed that the Senior Void his master had specifically invited for him was truly far from ordinary!
"The moon waxes and wanes, and heaven and earth are the same. Yet only the harshest environment can temper an unparalleled expert!"
Who could have imagined that Ye Fan, who could not even break through into the Four Extremes Realm, would one day become Emperor Ye, the man who completely ended the Life Forbidden Zones?
Constantly shattering his shackles, until even heaven and earth could no longer restrain him—how could Ye Fan not become powerful?
"Master, let me tell you! Some time ago, I discovered an unparalleled Ten Thousand Dragon Nest!" Ye Fan said excitedly.
He did not yet dare to touch such a terrifying terrain as the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, but if he could not, his master could!
And with the unfathomable Senior Void as well, perhaps he could make a fortune in one go.
"Wouldn't it be a pity if such important news were not spread throughout the world?" Li Ping said.
Ye Fan's eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly understood his master's meaning.
Fishing in troubled waters, driving wolves to devour tigers, letting the snipe and clam fight while the fisherman profits—this was simply an excellent plan!
"Make your preparations. I'll first help you break through the restrictions of heaven and earth!"
The Void Emperor truly could not bear listening any longer. Whether it was Li Ping or the Sacred Body of this era, both were black-hearted.
With him present, did they still need to fish in troubled waters, even for an unparalleled Ten Thousand Dragon Nest?
"With Senior taking action, success is guaranteed!" Li Ping said with a smile.
The Void Emperor personally breaking the restrictions of heaven and earth for Ye Fan—there truly was no treatment like this.
Li Ping could not help but look forward to how the Life Forbidden Zones would react when the Void Emperor's identity was exposed.
