During his journey to the Primordial Ancient Mine, he stumbled upon a predestined encounter with a sage, discovering the place where the sage had passed away. However, the Yaoguang Holy Son also discovered the same place. Due to the black mist surrounding the Ancient Mine, both of them became separated from their protectors.

Outside the cave, the Yaoguang Holy Son and Ye Fan met by chance. Tempted by the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi and the Sacred Body Origin, the Yaoguang Holy Son immediately launched a killing move, summoning a forbidden artifact of the Immortal Two immortality, intending to capture Ye Fan alive.

However, the forbidden artifact, which he perceived as possessing divine power capable of killing Peak Dragon Transformation cultivator, was blocked by another divine object belonging to Ye Fan. Moreover, relying on that artifact, Ye Fan managed to suppress the Yaoguang Holy Son. Ultimately, he obtained the Saint's inheritance: an ancient scripture and a fragmented Saint Weapon...

Later, the powerful Yao Guang followed the sound transmission mark to find the Holy Son, intending to rescue him. However, the Holy Son had set up a restriction within the cave, allowing only cultivators below the Immortal Platform to enter. Moreover, the entrances and exits of the cave were not consistent, causing the powerful Yao Guang to wait in vain for several months outside the Primordial Ancient Mine...

After leaving the Primordial Ancient Mine and returning to the Chaos Palace, he intended to give the incomplete Saint Weapon to Daoist Crimson Feather, but the latter refused. In the following few months, he captured the young disciples of the Ji Family and Jiang Family who had been attracted by the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi.

Once he leaves the Holy City and the protection of the Chaos Palace, he will truly be an enemy of the entire world!

Black Emperor galloped across the snow, his figure incredibly agile, with crimson divine light flowing around him. Running across the boundless snowfield, he felt somewhat exhilarated and said, "As Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, you shouldn't have been holed up in the Chaos Palace. Fighting across the world is your path to success!"

"Also, you've now completely offended the Jiang Family and Ji Family. Where's Jiang Yichen? Hurry up and bring him out; that's the ' Hengyu Scripture '!"

Chapter 286 The Hengyu Scripture

The Big Black Dog approached Ye Fan, its large mouth constantly exhaling hot breath, showing great enthusiasm.

Seeing the Black Emperor's attitude, Ye Fan shook his head repeatedly, and then took out a Purple Jade Divine Gourd. This gourd was extraordinary, with intricate and mysterious patterns on it, involving the rules of the Holy Path.

Upon seeing the purple gourd, Black Emperor's eyes widened, and it was about to attack with its two large paws. However, Ye Fan slapped it down with a palm, and golden light shone brightly in his hand, knocking it to the ground. It shook off the snowflakes and revealed its black fur.

In eight months, Ye Fan advanced from the Dao Palace First Heaven to the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven, a tremendous leap in combat power.

The Black Emperor let out a terrible scream, a sound that shook the heavens and the earth, as if it were suffering extreme pain. However, Ye Fan was not affected by its screams at all.

Seeing Ye Fan far away, the Big Black Dog perked up again, jumped up, ran to Ye Fan's side, and barked, "Damn it, you're incredibly lucky! You always seem to run into Saint!"

Seeing the envy in Black Emperor's dark eyes, Ye Fan burst into laughter.

After he cut out the Divine Mark Purple Gold, he traveled in the Great Wilderness for a period of time. On the way, he encountered a fairy who was about to die. She was surrounded and killed by three old monsters and her life hung by a thread.

Normally, given Ye Fan's personality, he would avoid such a world-destroying battlefield if possible. However, an old monster with a decaying body wanted to devour his soul, leaving him with nowhere to escape. Unexpectedly, the fairy stopped the three of them and told him to leave quickly.

Ye Fan then presented the Sacred Fruit and the God-Striking Whip, turning the tide of the battle. He also gained the appreciation of the fairy. Finally, the fairy's partner arrived and killed the three old monsters with a single palm strike, saying that she would reward Ye Fan handsomely.

Finally, he obtained the secret of the "Fight" character, and the Purple Jade Divine Gourd was also reforged by that person, becoming a sacred forbidden artifact.

And with the help of this sacred forbidden artifact, he also obtained a damaged Saint Weapon. Since arriving in the Northern Region, he has had one opportunity after another, and his cultivation has improved rapidly.

For the sake of the ancient scripture, the Black Emperor did not hold Ye Fan's insubordination against him. It urged, "Stop showing off your gourd, the ' Hengyu Scripture ' is more important!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly, golden blood energy surging in his hand as he activated the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, releasing Jiang Yichen.

In the vast sea of snow, Jiang Yichen, thin and frail, was bound by a silver rod. His face was pale; he was truly terrified this time. Having fallen into the hands of this Black Dog, he was even considering whether to commit suicide first.

The Black Emperor opened its blood-red maw, staring intently at Jiang Yichen, making the latter feel a chill run down his spine.

"What... do you want?" Jiang Yichen's voice trembled; this time, he was truly afraid.

"Where did your arrogance go when you seized the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi?" The Black Emperor smiled brightly. Before it lay a Great Emperor's scripture, an ancient scripture created by the Emperor Hengyu. It had long wanted to see it, and this time its wish had finally come true.

Ye Fan did not humiliate the other party excessively. Although he had a deep-seated grudge with Jiang Yichen, that Saint senior belonged to the Jiang Family, and he had obtained the Battle Saint Method, so he had a trace of kinship with the Jiang Family.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he whispered, "Write down the ' Hengyu Scripture,' and I might spare your life!"

Upon hearing Ye Fan's request, Jiang Yichen's face turned green. He cried out, "Master Ye... I can't do it!"

"Apart from the direct descendants of the family, everyone else who received the scriptures in the Scripture Transmission Pavilion was put under a gag order. I really can't produce the ' Hengyu Scripture.' I beg you, please have mercy! I'm willing to pay with my life!"

Ye Fan's gaze darkened. In fact, he had a premonition. After all, the Extreme Dao Scripture was extremely rare. The Desolate Ancient Family must have a backup plan. Otherwise, any Immortal Platform cultivator could obtain the scripture by capturing a descendant of a family, and the entire Big Dipper would be in chaos.

"Who knows if this kid is telling the truth or not? He has a Great Power grandfather who holds a very high position in the Jiang Family!"

The Black Emperor didn't believe Jiang Yichen's story. It stared directly into Jiang Yichen's eyes, then sent out a wisp of divine sense to forcefully penetrate his sea of consciousness, and sure enough, it discovered a radiant divine talisman.

"The Hengyu Scripture, I, the Emperor, have arrived!"

Within the crimson sea of consciousness, the Black Emperor Divine Talisman lunged forward, but its divine sense was insufficient, rendering it utterly powerless against the Crimson Flame Dao Talisman.

After struggling for a while, the Big Black Dog gave up in despair. It looked up to the sky and howled, "His grandfather left a divine talisman in his sea of consciousness, and my ancient scripture is gone!"

Ye Fan's eyes flashed. He had previously attacked some Ji Family disciples, and their seas of consciousness shattered without any divine talismans appearing. Perhaps this attempt would succeed. Jiang Yichen's status was high, so perhaps there would be no sea of consciousness restrictions.

He personally took action, extending a wisp of divine thought into the space between the eyebrows to search for the divine object. Upon entering, he immediately saw the terrifying divine talisman, which was definitely a Dao talisman left behind by a being at the Immortal Platform Realm, emitting strands of crimson light, crystal clear and dazzling.

In the end, Ye Fan gave up. Although his divine sense was comparable to that of Immortal Platform Being, it was no match for the Great Power divine talisman. All his attempts failed.

He sighed deeply and said, "These Desolate Ancient Family are truly cautious! Ordinary clan members have restrictions in their sea of consciousness, while core clan members are protected by Great Power divine talismans."

Having failed in his plot to create the " Hengyu Scripture," Ye Fan released another disciple of the Ji Family, the direct grandson of the sixth son of the Ji Family. Upon entering the disciple's brow, he discovered a dark, luminous divine talisman...

"Both ancient scriptures are gone! I am filled with resentment!"

With both the " Hengyu Scripture " and the " Void Scripture " failing to deliver their intended message, the Black Emperor grew increasingly angry and began to use verbal attacks to threaten Jiang Yichen, vowing to suppress him for five hundred years.

However, Jiang Yichen cried and begged for mercy, saying that he really couldn't write the ancient scripture and asked them to capture Jiang Yifei, who was the only son of the Jiang Family in this generation and most likely hadn't been given the restriction.

After returning the two to the Purple Jade Divine Gourd, Ye Fan rallied his spirits and headed into the distance. He already knew about the various sects' coercion of the Chaos Palace and felt a sense of guilt.

In fact, when he was forced to kill the offspring of a Half-Step Great Power, he had already foreseen this moment. The Mother Qi of All Things stirs people's hearts; as long as the precious cauldron remains on his person, the covetousness of others will not diminish, unless he hands over the cauldron...

When he passed through the city last time, he saw the Holy City's bounty poster, which even tempted him.

He is now a cultivator at the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven. His Desolate Ancient Sacred Body cultivates very rapidly in the Dao Palace Secret Realm. If he has enough source, he can continue to cultivate until he reaches the Dao Palace Great Perfection.

However, breaking into the Four Extremes Secret Realm is extremely difficult.

He would need at least tens of millions of kilograms of Pure Source to break free from the shackles of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, break through the confinement, and enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm —an astronomical number.

Although Daoist Crimson Feather offered four million catties of source energy from the Chaos Palace to help him break through to the next realm, the remaining six million catties of source energy were not easy for him. Now that he had cultivated the Five Divine Treasures, he had almost used up all his reserves, and everything would have to start all over again.

With enemies all over the Northern Region, and cultivators hunting him down everywhere, Ye Fan knew that time was limited. He wanted to seize the time to gather the Pure Source he needed to break through his cultivation realm.

And so he disappeared for a full twenty days, and no one knew where he was.

The area where he was located was a vast, uninhabited region, where heavy snow fell and the mountains and land were covered in white. This place was far from any oasis, and it was extremely desolate, with no one passing by for decades or even centuries.

As evening fell and the snow subsided, Ye Fan found a stone cave where Black Emperor lit a campfire and took out dishes from the jade bottle.

Before long, the lamb leg was roasted to a golden brown, and the man and his dog began to eat it, accompanied by chicken wings, fish, and a pot of fine wine.

Chapter 287 Meeting in the Snow

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, a refreshing aroma of herbs wafted over, instantly sending a chill down Black Emperor's spine. It sniffed the air, then dropped the roasted lamb leg with its large paws, jumped out on all fours, and Ye Fan followed suit.

Not far away, on the pure white snow, a young man dressed in Golden Silk Myriad Spirits Robe stood with a flawless face and eyes that held Chaos aura, like an endless Void that captivated all who looked into it. His demeanor was extremely otherworldly.

"It really was you!"

Black Emperor looked at Su Yu with a complicated expression, its forelimbs behind its back, standing upright on both legs, pretending to be deep in thought. For some reason, it didn't see Su Yu when it woke up, and finally encountered Ye Fan when it came out of the mountain. This made it a little embarrassed to see Su Yu.

"Senior!"

Ye Fan, who was standing to the side, also showed joy and hurriedly went to greet him. He hadn't seen Su Yu for a long time since their last meeting in the Holy City.

Su Yu smiled, leaving a blurry afterimage in his wake, and covered a distance of several hundred meters to stand in front of Ye Fan.

After a long separation, Su Yu was also filled with emotion, especially since this place was near the Ice and Snow Palace...

When old friends reunite, a banquet is naturally indispensable. Su Yu waved his sleeve and summoned a Phoenix Blood Wood Palace flowing with Chaos energy, leading the two inside.

A group of graceful maids emerged, offering delicacies and exquisite wines. However, these beautiful maids made Ye Fan and the Black Emperor somewhat apprehensive.

The Black Emperor was the first to recover, praising the feast and beginning to feast heartily. The ingredients were rich in Life essence, including even the divine wings of a great demon from Immortal Platform.

Ye Fan followed suit and began to eat slowly and carefully. With the elders present, he felt a little restrained.

Su Yu's gaze was indifferent. He had brought the Purple Dragon Maiden with him this time for the True Dragon Immortal Medicine. Even if he couldn't obtain the Divine Medicine, the fruit of the True Dragon Immortal Medicine was still a divine object of extremely high value.

Of the three Phoenix Fruits bestowed upon him by the Beginningless Bell, he used one as the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo clone, one as the Immortal Phoenix Egg, and for the last one, he wanted the Dragon-Phoenix Resonance.

Zhong Hun once gave him the Foundation Establishment Ritual, which can transform medicinal power into liquid, make up for congenital defects, and help cultivators Perfect World absorb medicinal power.

If he could obtain the True Dragon Immortal Medicine Fruit, he would transform the two Immortal Medicine Fruits into a pool of Dragon Phoenix Spirit Liquid, and then cultivate with Purple Maiden, using her primordial yin power. If successful, he was confident that he could break through the Heavenly Severing the Dao the Dao-Severing Realm and achieve the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform in the Dharma Ending -ending Age.

As he approached the Ice and Snow Palace, he discovered Ye Fan and the Black Emperor. With Ye Fan's presence, the True Dragon was practically guaranteed to be safe, so he came.

After the banquet, Black Emperor let out a satisfied burp, clearly pleased with the dishes. It pointed at Ye Fan with its large paw, its eyes filled with fervent desire.

"Bring them out! Two Emperor Scripture!"

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, his desire for the " Hengyu Scripture " prevailed. He summoned the Purple Jade Divine Gourd and released Jiang Yichen and the other person.

" Su Yu, these are two Emperor Scripture! See how loyal I, Lao Hei, am!"

Black Emperor chuckled, looking slightly guilty, since he had left the mountain early and was a little embarrassed to face Su Yu. However, as he spoke, his skin thickened, and he became somewhat unconcerned.

It was happy to be by Ye Fan's side, even though Xiao Yezi had become the master of the house and was now riding on its head for the past two months.

Jiang Yichen and another Ji Family disciple were on the verge of collapse. The row of maids standing on both sides of the hall all exuded the pressure of the Immortal Platform, and the strange man on the high platform was even more extraordinary. With just one glance, he made them feel like their souls were falling into the abyss and their hearts were filled with fear.

Watching the two trembling figures beneath the prince, Su Yu remained calm and said nonchalantly, "These two are merely at the Four Extremes cultivation. Even if we break through the restrictions in their sea of consciousness, we won't obtain the complete Emperor Scripture."

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the Big Black Dog's eyes lit up. It was certain that Su Yu had done this kind of thing before, otherwise he wouldn't be so skilled at it. Ye Fan, Jiang Yichen, and the others also realized it.

"Senior, senior, spare my life! My grandfather is Ji Tianming!" The Ji Family disciple cried bitterly. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he fell into the hands of a Great Power. He didn't want to die.

Jiang Yichen also shouted, "Senior, if you would be merciful, I will repay you handsomely. I am willing to write a volume of the ' Hengyu Scripture ' to offer to you. Killing us will only make us enemies of the Jiang Family and Ji Family!"

Ye Fan and the Big Black Dog behind the desk were frozen in place. Was this the majesty of Great Power being?

The Ji Family disciple had initially intended to remain silent, but Jiang Yichen's sudden offer to present the ancient scripture infuriated him. He said to Jiang Yichen, "Fool, produce the ancient scripture! In this vast Big Dipper, there is no place for you. The Jiang Family will never let you go!"

Jiang Yichen retorted, "You're the fool! If you don't produce the ancient scripture, you'll die here today!"

"Hahaha, I'll die with you. The Elder of the Scripture Transmission discovered the divine talisman was broken. Whether you live or die, you're already a dead man in the family..."

The disciple of the Ji Family has gone mad. He places the prestige of the Desolate Antiquity Ji Family above all else and would never reveal his family's ancient scriptures. Being captured would give him a sliver of hope, but revealing the scriptures would mean certain death.

He had already seen through it all; this group would definitely not be satisfied with just one ancient scripture. They would definitely search their souls, and then the divine talisman would kill them. It was a dead end, and there was no way to change it.

Seeing the two arguing endlessly inside the hall, Su Yu watched the changing situation with great interest, and finally pointed a finger to separate the two.

Then, a divine light flashed behind him, and in an instant, he converted Jiang Yichen, who then wrote the Wheel Sea Scroll and the Dao Palace Scroll of the " Hengyu Scripture " on his own.

As for the other Ji Family disciple, Su Yu did not kill him. Instead, he placed a Thought Restriction on his consciousness and chuckled, "I have a past relationship with the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, and I originally intended to let you go. Unfortunately, you know things you shouldn't know, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic!"

With a flick of his finger, he sent the Ji Family disciple flying into the snow. Through the jade pendant of his divine sense, he instructed the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family to send someone here. Now, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family has broken through the Immortal Platform Second Heaven and possesses the complete " Void Scripture ".

Upon seeing that Jiang Yichen had written the " Hengyu Scripture ", Ye Fan and Black Emperor were extremely excited, especially Ye Fan. Black Emperor already had the complete scripture, while Ye Fan had been searching for the Four Extremes Scripture.

Legend has it that the Four Extremes Scroll in the Hengyu Scripture, like the Wheel Sea Scroll in the Dao Scripture and the Dao Palace Scroll in the Western Emperor Scripture, is considered the most important in the Eastern Wasteland.
