The sixth son of the Ji Family, who was determined to capture Ye Fan, is now lying in the ancestral land, his soul and path destroyed by the Bronze Immortal Palace.
A month ago, Ji Family's sixth brother intercepted Ye Fan in the Fire Domain after he finished refining the Divine Cauldron. Ye Fan burned his right arm with a wisp of seven-colored true fire. Ji immediately amputated his arm, his murderous intent rising, wanting to eliminate this thorn in his side.
However, during his pursuit of Ye Fan, he encountered the emergence of the Bronze Immortal Palace. The Xian Dao aura touched his sea of consciousness, and he almost perished on the spot, but was saved by the Great Immortal Nangong.
The Bronze Immortal Palace appeared at inopportune times on two separate occasions. Combined with Cao Yusheng's words, in Little Moon's eyes, Ye Fan already had an astonishing background.
A single Daoist voice reverberated through the mountains.
" Heavenly Master Cao has graced this place with his presence!"
Chapter 232 Deceiving the World
A single Daoist voice shook the world; in an instant, winds rose and clouds surged, the Holy City trembled, and the cultivators in the Ji Family Stone Workshop retreated, voluntarily making way for a passage.
This is the power and influence of the Sixth Generation Source Heavenly Master. Of course, the precious medicines that Su Yu distributed in the previous two times also played a significant role.
He now has connections with the Jiang Family, the Ji Family, the Jade Lake Sacred Land, the Great Xia Dynasty, the Nine Li Dynasty, and the Yaoguang Holy Land. Moreover, the ancient Source Arts families in the Holy City also acknowledge his identity as the successor of the Source Heavenly Master. His power shakes the Northern Region and is known Big Dipper.
Inside the stone archway, dozens of maids lined up, each holding a divine feather fan that had destroyed the mountains and rivers of the Northern Region. In an instant, wisps of white smoke drifted and the fragrance of perfume faded away.
A cloud path, about ten feet long, stretched out from afar, shrouded in magnificent divine light. The Great Dao Runes fluctuated, radiating rich spatial Dao patterns, like a calm great river.
On an island in the center of the still lake, an elderly man in black robes appeared, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. His robes were shrouded in a faint, crystalline light, and his movements were as swift as lightning, like a wisp of black mist. In an instant, he ascended the divine path and rode away on the clouds, his aura transcendent and otherworldly.
" Heavenly Master Cao has actually come!"
" The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family personally greeted us, with maids welcoming us and everyone else stepping aside. Such a grand spectacle! If I could experience this even once, I would die content."
The cultivators by the lake were also discussing it animatedly; the Desolate Ancient Family's hospitality was truly enviable.
An Miaoyi was playing the jade zither in the spirit boat, broke a string. Her chest, which was wrapped in a light veil, rose and fell, expressing the emotions in her heart.
Ye Fan and the Black Emperor were also pushed to the edge of the crowd. Looking at the divine path in the sky, Ye Fan's eyes widened with longing.
The Big Black Dog said, "Kid, don't envy other people's grand gestures. As long as you give me Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, I'll risk my life for you, and your son will unlock the Wushi Scripture."
Hearing the Black Emperor's words of comfort, Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, a fleeting look of sadness crossing his face before he quickly regained his smile. He teased, " Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, how can you give birth with only Sacred Body and no Innate Dao Embryo? Unless you find me an Innate Dao Embryo."
This left Black Emperor speechless and choked with embarrassment.
The Purple Mansion Saintess has been missing for more than half a year, and her chances of survival are extremely slim. This result has made the Ruthless One Lineage famous, and it is known throughout the Five Regions. Even the monks and female bodhisattvas of the Western Desert no longer go out, fearing that they will encounter the Ruthless One Lineage.
The world is in turmoil, unpredictable and ever-changing. The Purple Mansion Saintess was kidnapped in the Holy Land, Yaoguang Saintess suffered a cultivation deviation, her cultivation level plummeted to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and she was defeated by several female disciples in the Yaoguang Competition, losing her position as Holy Maiden. She then left in despair, her whereabouts unknown. It is said that she died at the hands of the Ruthless One Lineage.
In just one year, both holy maidens in the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land suffered misfortune, as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.
" Your Great Emperor, you told me to find the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, but now I only have the Sacred Body, where is the Dao Embryo! I wish I were the Innate... Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo."
The Black Emperor sighed, helpless, and stopped pressuring Ye Fan.
Before long, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family and a Daoist priest flew in from afar, followed by a beautiful woman, Yao Xi, the former Yaoguang Saintess.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yao Xi remained calm, simply following behind Su Yu, holding a divine sword in her hands.
A cultivator from the Southern Region recognized her and exclaimed, " The Yaoguang Saintess! She's actually following Heavenly Master Cao!"
"She's no longer the Holy Maiden. The current Yaoguang Saintess is Senior Sister Weiwei," a young man dressed in the robes of the Yaoguang Holy Land corrected, somewhat indignant at the change of address.
"It's all about timing and fate! Being able to follow Heavenly Master Cao is her good fortune; perhaps she can reshape the Four Extremes and reconnect the broken path."
The old man beside the boy sighed and said nothing more.
Half a year ago Yao Xi suffered a qi deviation, and the evil fire escaped into the Dao Palace, spreading to her limbs and bones. The Four Extremes collapsed, and she fell into the Dao Palace Secret Realm. The Grand Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land personally tried to save her, consuming the most precious pills, but it was still ineffective.
Finally, they invited a disciple of the most skilled Divine Calculator from Central Province, who divined that Yao Xi was cursed by the forbidden land of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and would not live much longer.
Even so, Elder Yaoguang did not give up. Knowing that the successor of the Source Heavenly Master had descended upon the Northern Region, he personally set off for the Northern Region, hoping to obtain the Medicine King.
However, after Li Ming left, the elders, fearing the curse of the forbidden zone, started the sect competition. Yao Xi was defeated by Weiwei, the personal disciple of the Grand Elder. She resigned from her position as the Yaoguang Saintess, thanked her teachers, and left the sect, ending her life in a tragic way.
When Li Ming learned of this, he was furious and suppressed the three elders, exiling them to a remote country.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the Southern Region. Elder Li Ming of Yaoguang Sect gained immense prestige within the sect, and many disciples were willing to die for him.
Not long after, with the joint recommendation of several elders, Yaoguang Holy Lord Li Daoqing, disregarding Li Ming's objections, appointed Weiwei as the new Yaoguang Saintess.
This Yaoguang Saintess is extraordinary. She defeated Li Youyou of the Carefree Sect immediately after being conferred the title, and then went to the Taixuan Sect to fight a bloody battle with Hua Yunfei, the grandson of Star Peak Master, and won by a single move.
With the support of the Carefree Sect and the Taixuan Sect, the current Yaoguang Saintess has firmly established herself in the Yaoguang Holy Land, and Yaoguang Holy Son acknowledges Weiwei's status.
The former Holy Maiden Yao Xi of Yaoguang Saintess disappeared from everyone's memory.
However, this time she appeared as Cao Yusheng's maid.
Because of the existence of the Stone King, many Half-Step Great Power and Great Power have gathered at the Ji Family Stone Workshop in the past six months, hoping to find the Stone King. They are all great cultivators from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm and are not affected by the magic artifacts covering Yao Xi's body, so they can sense his aura slightly.
Some of the more experienced cultivators could tell at a glance from Yao Xi's gait and expression that she had lost her vital essence.
And which of the male cultivators in the Heaven-Class Stone Garden didn't come from a life of luxury, except for the one from the Purple Mansion Holy Land?
The Purple Mansion Holy Land contains two Great Saint texts, the Purple Mansion Scripture and the Purple Yang Scripture.
Cultivating the Purple Yang Scripture requires condensing true yang, necessitating a body of primordial yang. Only after mastering the Purple Yang Scripture can this constraint be broken.
"Fellow Daoist Cao is indeed a romantic!"
" Yao Xi being able to connect with him is a stroke of good fortune after all her misfortunes."
"I heard that to remove the curse, at least a sacred medicine is needed. I see that your holy maiden is in good health and has even re-entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Heavenly Master Cao must have expended a great deal of energy this time!"
"There's another one on the lake!"
After finishing the discussion using divine sense, the old imperial uncle of the Great Xia glanced at the somewhat immature Ji Ziyue not far away, and thoughtfully took out a jade slip for transmitting sound.
"Quickly bring Yilin here, and also bring the Thirteenth Princess, the Sixteenth Princess, and the Nineteenth Princess."
In fact, it wasn't just him; the other Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure also did the same thing, and everyone nodded in tacit agreement.
Both are holy and major religions, and they don't care about Cao Yusheng's romantic affairs. Once they get married, it will be mutually beneficial.
Moreover, the fact that he was willing to use sacred medicine for his maidservants shows just how pure and kind-hearted this Heavenly Master Cao was!
Ji Family Mingzhu is too young to be married; let them handle this difficult matter.
Chapter 233 Embracing the Goddess and Leaving
Su Yu and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family arrived together, exchanged greetings with the Great Power of the Heaven-Class Stone Garden, and then entered the lake alone, landing at one end of the spirit boat.
At the other end of the spirit boat stood An Miaoyi, who was like a goddess descended from the Nine Heavens, Perfect World and with crystal-clear skin. The fragrance of orchids wafted around her, and her eyes were as clear as water. She smiled sweetly and looked at Su Yu with a serene expression.
Su Yu admired her beauty, and with a graceful gesture, he took the jade zither from the jade boat. He played the zither and sang. "In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation. How could one not know the power of such beauty? Such a woman is hard to find again."
The stunningly beautiful An Miaoyi her flowing Qingwu, exudes inner grace and charm. Her eyes sparkle with tenderness, and she plays the flute to the tune, her voice melodious and enchanting, making listeners feel as if they are in a fairyland.
The two gazed at each other across the water, playing the zither and flute in unison, like a perfect couple.
Meanwhile, Yao Xi, on the island, calmly watched this scene, her hands hanging slightly at her sides, recalling the intimacy between the two of them...
But she quickly regained her composure and silently watched Su Yu.
Seeing her like this, the Great Power from the Yaoguang Holy Land shook his head slightly, ultimately showing pity for this former Holy Maiden, and took the initiative to offer words of comfort.
As for the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family standing to the side, he stroked his beard and said, "The goddess is willing, and the celestial master is merciful! Such a wonderful thing is truly fortunate!"
"Hahaha! The Eighth Elder and Ji Tianyao are truly worlds apart!"
Hearing the words of the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, Xia Ye chuckled, finding it quite amusing. The two people in charge of the Ji Family Stone Workshop had completely different personalities. This Ji Ba was truly a fascinating person, just as his name suggested, very interesting indeed.
Ye Fan, standing by the lake, chuckled to himself. Hearing this familiar Han song, he laughed for a while, then fell silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and a strange longing for his hometown welled up within him.
"Father, Mother..."
Ye Fan was worried about the two elderly people. Like a traveler longing for his hometown, he had been in Big Dipper for nearly five years and missed his family terribly.
Just as he was feeling sad, a large paw landed on his shoulder, and a large black paw appeared in front of him, containing ten pounds of Pure Source.
The Black Emperor said in a deliberately profound tone, "Young Ye, cheer up! Once your cultivation is sufficient, whatever you desire will naturally come true. My wish is to ascend to the Immortal Domain and meet the Great Emperor."
Looking at the ten jin of Pure Source in front of him, and hearing the Black Emperor's words, Ye Fan suddenly felt less sad. He grabbed the ten jin of source and muttered, "Only ten jin? That's too little. Black Emperor, am I only worth ten jin of source in your eyes? What about our relationship?"
"Don't give it back to me!"
The Big Black Dog bared its teeth, opened its blood-red maw, and gently bit Ye Fan's arm, transmitting its thoughts telepathically. "As long as you satisfy this emperor, I will take you to find the ' Western Emperor Scripture '."
"Is that really true? I have a feeling you're up to no good!"
Seeing Black Emperor acting so strangely, Ye Fan was somewhat skeptical. This was mainly because he had witnessed the Big Black Dog's despicable behavior during this period, and this time it had truly triggered muscle memory.
The next moment, he felt the pain. His physical body, which Other Shore Realm, was comparable to refined copper and divine iron, but it could not withstand the Black Dog's teeth.
"You damn dog!"
"A pet!"
After a fierce fight, Ye Fan's frustration subsided, and he began to regain his composure. He paid no attention to the goddess celestial master in the lake, but instead glanced at the purple figure in the distance.
Having observed for so long, he had become somewhat prepared. Due to the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, his physique was like a bottomless pit, requiring a large amount of Life essence, and his daily cultivation demanded a great deal of source energy.
"Cultivate diligently; once your cultivation level is high enough, you can go home!"
With this belief, Ye Fan led the Big Black Dog toward the seventeenth-floor stone garden.
The bamboo forest was lush and green, and the spring water flowed gently, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Among the young people standing together was Jiang Yifei, a distinguished member of the Jiang Family, who was handsome Ruyu, dressed in white that was as pure as snow, making him stand out from the crowd.
He glanced at Ji Haoyue without saying a word, but his silence spoke volumes, and everyone understood.
Ji Haoyue, carrying a silver sword on her back, paid no attention to the crowd. Instead, she stared intently at Ji Ziyue below, then her eyes flashed as she looked at Ye Fan's departing figure.
This person had triggered a reaction in his Divine Body; he was no ordinary individual. Moreover, his sister had just had a brief exchange with him.
"Could it be Ye Fan, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?" The Big Moon's keen intuition found the correct answer, and then he acted immediately, walking towards Ye Fan.
In the spirit lake, Su Yu gently embraced An Miaoyi, his movements incredibly tender, feeling the warmth emanating from her body.
An Miaoyi nestled against Su Yu's shoulder. The sunlight shone on the shimmering lake, making her appear ethereal and peerless. Her black hair was beautiful, her eyes were lively, her skin was as smooth as ice and jade, her curves were alluring, and her figure was captivating, like the most Perfect World masterpiece of heaven.
She breathed softly and whispered, "What kind of future will you give me?"
What kind of future do you want?
Su Yu countered with a question, his starry eyes fixed on An Miaoyi, his expression serene, like a gentle breeze and a Qingfeng Mingyue, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. This was due to his temperament, which remained unchanged even though his appearance had changed.
"I want to become an empress, or even Great Emperor; with One Thought Blooms, Reign Over All Under Heaven!"
