Exploring Hundred Broken Mountain

Ye Fan's expression froze. Ji Ziyue's smile made his scalp tingle. She wasn't going to tell her brother afterward, was she?

A powerful Divine Body would surely be interested in an Ancient Desolate Saint Body.

"I never said that. That's your own interpretation!" Ji Ziyue's eyes curved as she flashed a sly little fox's smile.

"I didn't say anything!"

Ji Ziyue's brother was either at the Dao Palace realm or the Four Extremes. Ye Fan had no desire to be sought out by him already.

"How boring. I wanted to see a battle between a Saint Body and a Divine Body." Ji Ziyue curled her lips.

Ye Fan broke into a cold sweat. She really was a spoiled young lady.

"Still, the Great Emperor realm is truly enviable. With every gesture, one possesses the mighty power to annihilate stars." Yan Ruyu could not help marveling at Wushi's combat strength.

"Who will reach the end of the Emperor's path in this age and suppress the world?"

Yan Ruyu knew that once someone became a Great Emperor, everyone else could at most remain at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm—except for a certain pitiful Golden Crow.

"I think my brother Ye Fan can do it. Once his Saint Body is complete, he'll be able to challenge a Great Emperor." Shi Jue patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, utterly certain.

"Him?" Ji Ziyue questioned skeptically.

"Yes, Group Leader. No Ancient Desolate Saint Body has ever been known to become a Great Emperor, and whether he can even break through the Four Extremes is still unknown. Everyone in the cultivation world knows that a Saint Body cannot become a Great Emperor." Yan Ruyu did not think highly of Ye Fan either.

However, Yan Ruyu quickly realized something. The Empress seemed to think highly of Ye Fan, and Shi Jue had just done the same. Could he truly break the impossible?

"Becoming a Great Emperor is still too far away. We might as well explore the secret realm here!" Ye Fan was not one to aim too high. He would steadily walk the road before him. If he had the qualifications, there was no harm in competing for it.

Next, the four formed a small team and nearly swept through the entire Hundred Broken Mountain, obtaining many opportunities.

"It's hard to imagine this world has such abundant resources. I don't even want to go back." Yan Ruyu held a crystal-clear lingzhi mushroom in her hand.

In their era, cultivation had almost entirely depended on Divine Source. Spiritual Medicine was considered scarce.

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. My Sea of Bitterness has expanded from the size of a pigeon egg to the size of a fist." Ye Fan nodded in agreement. He had not been idle along the way either, constantly absorbing Spiritual Medicine. It was far more effective than Hundred Herb Juice.

"Brat, stop right there!"

A purple-haired woman was chasing Shi Hao, and the four happened to witness the scene.

"Brother, save me! This female vicious beast wants to capture me." The moment Shi Hao saw Shi Jue's group, he immediately changed direction and ran toward them.

"You know him?" Yan Ruyu looked at Shi Jue curiously. This Brat running toward them seemed to have done something to that woman to make her so furious.

"No, I don't know him!" Shi Jue immediately denied it. This was far too embarrassing.

That purple-haired woman should be Yun Xi. However, one earring was missing, likely bitten off by Shi Hao just like in the original plot. What a pity he had not seen that wonderful scene.

"I'm telling you, my brother is the Big Black Hand. Be careful, or he'll crack you over the head!" Shi Hao hid behind Shi Jue, poking out his head to shout provocatively.

"You... hateful Brat!"

Yun Xi gritted her teeth in anger and touched the lump on her head, which had not fully gone down yet. It hurt to the bone. And she had heard of this Big Black Hand before; when it came to underhanded tricks, no one could surpass him.

"How did you provoke her?" Shi Jue said with a face full of black lines. It was not as if he did not have a name. Why use that damned nickname?

"Uh, I just asked whether this vicious beast had beast milk, tried to carry her back, and then we had a fight." Shi Hao skipped over the part about biting her ear and gave a simple explanation.

Shi Jue: "..."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Ye Fan: "..."

Ji Ziyue: "..."

The four were instantly dumbfounded. Looking at Yun Xi, who had become even more ashamed and furious because of those words, they wondered how he could possibly say that out loud.

After recovering from his shock, Shi Jue vaguely recalled that Shi Hao seemed to have promised the children in the village that he would bring back vicious beast milk. Damn, could this really be what it was about?

"Ahem, Shi Hao, she's from the Heavenly Human Race of the Primordial Divine Mountain, not a vicious beast. If you keep offending people like this, I feel like one day you'll just disappear." Shi Jue said helplessly.

Shi Hao said strangely, "I don't agree with that. When it comes to offending people, have you offended any fewer than I have, Shi Jue?"

Yun Xi's face darkened terrifyingly as she watched the two argue. The two of them were equally bad.

"Brat, give it back to me." Yun Xi took a deep breath and did not intend to keep entangling herself with them. Outnumbered, she did not want to clash with so many people.

"Give what back? I don't have it!" Shi Hao shook his head. That earring was clearly a treasure artifact. He had not even figured it out yet, so how could he hand it over?

"Big sister, is the thing you lost important?" Ji Ziyue asked.

"It's all right. Mainly, its meaning is unusual." Yun Xi's attitude was no longer as harsh as before as she answered helplessly.

She could not take it back anyway. Shi Hao was already at the Nine Heavenly Passages realm and could fight her evenly.

"This should be the God-Striking Stone, right? Truly fascinating. One of the Ten Fierce—could you share your Precious Technique?" Shi Jue looked at the Little Stone in Shi Hao's hair. It was quite distinctive, and it could even bare its teeth and snarl.

Yun Xi's eyes immediately lit up. She had never expected that hateful stone that wailed and howled could actually be one of the Ten Fierce. The Ten Fierce Divine Techniques were top-tier techniques.

"I'm just an ordinary stone, not some God-Striking Stone." Stubborn Stone shouted, decisively denying its identity.

"Whether you are or not, we'll know after trying!"

Shi Jue smiled faintly and directly yanked Stubborn Stone from Shi Hao's hair, making Shi Hao frown in pain.

Clang!

With a casual toss, Stubborn Stone's trajectory shifted and struck Ye Fan in the abdomen, producing the sound of metal being hit.

"Ahhh, I'm shattered, I'm shattered! Is this person made of iron?" Stubborn Stone fell to the ground, wailing as it rolled around everywhere.

Yan Ruyu and Ji Ziyue found it amusing. It had been thrown casually, yet it accurately hit Ye Fan's stomach, and it could actually cry out in pain.

"Fuck, what the hell are you screaming for? I'm the one in pain!"

Ye Fan's face turned livid as he clutched his stomach. Even the Saint Body's defensive power had not been very effective. His internal organs felt as though they had been twisted into knots, and he had nearly coughed up blood from the blow.

"It really is quite accurate. The God-Striking Stone's Precious Technique is indeed extraordinary, and it seems to be related to spiritual power as well." Shi Jue was very satisfied. It felt quite suitable for him.

God-Striking Stone did not cry out again. In a flash, it scurried back into Shi Hao's hair. Only there could it feel a hint of safety.

"Shi Jue, don't waste your effort. This guy's mouth is as hard as his body. You won't get anything out of him." Shi Hao said.

"Huh, another Fatty Girl is here!"
