His Dao companions' challenge

Clouds and mist wreathed Floating Island like gauzy white silk, curling between the peaks and unfurling beneath the blue sky.

Stone pavilions and flowing streams formed a beautiful landscape, everything tranquil and serene.

Jiang Yun slowly set down his teacup and told Ye Fan a little about the Source Heaven Sect.

If Ye Fan went there, and Black Emperor had not wandered off, the two should meet.

"The Source Heaven Sect's teaching elder has an extraordinary background. Even I can't see through him. He might be able to offer you some help."

"Teaching elder? Who could qualify as the teaching elder of your sect, Cousin?"

Ye Fan's eyes gleamed. He was certain this person's scriptures and secret arts were extraordinary, and anticipation stirred within him.

Jiang Yun smiled without revealing any more, indulging his mischievous streak.

They chatted about other matters, and Jiang Yun explained the distribution of the Big Dipper's major powers.

If Ye Fan wanted to gamble on stones, he would inevitably visit the City of God, where all sorts of people mingled, including members of every major faction.

Since he knew all this, he naturally would not let Ye Fan learn about such things.

"I've settled the matter of the Desolate Forbidden Land with the Ji Family and Shaking Light. They won't move against you openly, but be careful of what they might do in secret."

Jiang Yun offered Ye Fan this warning. Having the whole world as one's enemy might sound heroic, but who would actually want that?

If certain grudges could be resolved openly, it was better to resolve them.

"I know a little about Shaking Light and the Ji Family. What about the other powers? Doesn't the Eastern Wilderness have far too many sacred lands and ancient families?"

Ye Fan could not help complaining.
