A beautiful maid stepped forward and presented Su Yu with the scriptures that Jiang Yichen had transcribed from memory. Five snow-white fox tails ran down her slender waist, exuding charm and allure, her eyes brimming with seductive allure.
After memorizing the " Hengyu Scripture " (Scripture of Eternal Universe), Su Yu handed the scripture to Ye Fan, and then threw Jiang Yichen into the stone cave.
Having obtained the ancient scripture, the Black Emperor approached it and, after a cursory glance, asked with some confusion, "Why are there only the ' Wheel Sea Scroll' and 'Dao Palace Scroll? That kid should be in the Four Extremes Secret Realm!"
"His status and cultivation level are insufficient; apart from the direct descendants of the main lineage Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure, none of the other members of the Desolate Ancient Family can write the scriptures that are found in the secret realm!"
Su Yu explained briefly, then smiled and said, "No need to worry about the Four Extremes Scroll of the Hengyu Scripture. Once you break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm, I will personally retrieve it for you!"
"How could Ye Fan dare to be greedy and insatiable? Receiving two volumes of the Emperor Scripture is already a generous gift from you, Ye Fan am extremely grateful!" Ye Fan quickly explained when he heard that Su Yu wanted to personally fetch the Four Extremes Scroll of the " Hengyu Scripture " for him. He did not want to leave a bad impression on Su Yu.
Chapter 288 The Myriad Dragon Nest
Then Ye Fan took out a half-meter-long piece of divine jade and handed it to the fox girl beside him.
This is the legendary Nine Heavens White Jade Disc, said to be a divine jade born from a fragment of the essence of the Heavens, extremely hard and Eternal Immortal of the Foreign Realm.
Looking at the Nine Heavens White Jade Disc, Su Yu was also somewhat surprised, feeling that he had underestimated Ye Fan.
He exclaimed, "It seems you've had many fortunate opportunities! I'll shamelessly accept this!"
He has yet to find a Nine Heavens Divine Jade mine, and his only remaining resource is a relatively abundant supply of Purple Marrow Divine Jade of the Severing the Dao level.
Seeing Su Yu accept the Nine Heavens White Jade Disc, Ye Fan felt a sense of relief. He felt somewhat ashamed that Su Yu had always taken care of him. Last time, it was Su Yu who helped him out of a predicament with the Golden Crow Seed. If he had lost that time, he would definitely not be at the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven now, and would at least have wasted a lot of time.
However, the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. When he turned around, he found that the Black Emperor had pounced on him, its sharp fangs sending chills down his spine.
Ye Fan raised his hand and threw a punch, cursing, "You damn dog! What's wrong with you?!"
"You spoiled brat! You have the Nine Heavens Divine Jade but don't want me, secretly hoarding it for yourself. You're already like this at the Dao Palace Realm, what will you be like in the future? I, the Emperor, will teach you a lesson today!"
The Black Emperor was driven back, but then attacked again, launching a scathing attack on Ye Fan based on the Purple Mountain Alliance they had made years ago, leaving Ye Fan somewhat helpless.
In the end, the battle between man and dog came to a close. Although Ye Fan had made Black Emperor scream in pain, he himself was covered in teeth marks and looked extremely disheveled.
The two parties reached an agreement, Ye Fan took out a finger-length piece of the Nine Heavens White Jade Disc and handed it to the Black Emperor.
The demonesses standing nearby also glanced at him. This was the Nine Heavens Divine Jade... They didn't know that Ye Fan possessed the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi, otherwise they would have been shocked.
The outside world is truly insane. There are cultivators from the Sea of Bitterness who have obtained the Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things, cultivators from the Four Extremes who want to seize the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon, powerful beings who have Dragon Transformation Great Power are attacking the Qing Emperor's Tomb, and Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure who want to fight for the title of Immortal for Lifetime lifetime...
After everything was settled, Su Yu got up and appeared in the snowfield with a person and a dog, putting the Phoenix Blood Divine Wood Palace into his sleeve.
Ye Fan glanced at the stone cave not far away and said hesitantly, "Those two... should be alright, right?"
Having obtained the divine arts and forbidden artifacts of the Jiang Family Saint, and now with two volumes of the " Hengyu Scripture," his hatred for Jiang Yichen has lessened considerably.
" The Ji Family will send someone soon. Let's go, I'll take you to find some Fortune!"
Su Yu chuckled. In his eyes, this was his chance to Severing the Dao the Ye Fan, and it would be best if Ye Fan could be brought along. It was a pity that Xiao Nannan was still wandering in the Southern Region. In the past few years, Yaoguang Li Ming and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family had sent people to search for her, but no news had come.
If he were to bring his Xiao Nannan along, he would dare to transform himself and head to the Undying Mountain to pick Enlightenment Tea, and even walk his dog in the forbidden zone!
This region is at an extremely high altitude, exceeding 8,000 meters. Even in summer, it is covered in ice and snow, with howling winds, a situation that has remained unchanged since ancient times.
In the darkest, most turbulent years of the past, a world-shaking battle took place here. What was once a sacred and pure land was utterly destroyed. Unparalleled powerhouses pierced the heavens and swept away endless snow-capped mountains, turning this place into a boundless ice plain.
This area belongs to the Ice and Snow Palace Ice and Snow Palace, a major sect in the Northern Region with a long history spanning over ten thousand years. Its strength is second only to the Holy Lands. Legend has it that their founder was not human, but a snow ape whose power was Fortune and who could rival the Holy Lands ten thousand years ago.
A hazy, Chaos mist enveloped the three of them as they gazed down upon the snowy landscape.
Amidst the continuous snowfall, Su Yu sensed a profound artistic conception of ice and snow. In an instant, the Chaos energy behind him intertwined to form a vast Dao diagram. The diagram was a boundless expanse of white, with snow reaching the sky and clouds. Endless icy energy roared out, stretching to the horizon. From within, four deep blue Zhen Ice Divine Swords shot out, swirling with wisps of Chaos energy. The sword energy traversed the eight directions, causing ripples in the Void. The four ice swords seemed poised to cleave the Nine Heavens and Void.
"Strange phenomenon? No, that's not right..."
Gazing at the Chaos Dao Diagram, Ye Fan, who had fought with Ji Haoyue, instantly thought of " the Bright Moon Rising over the Sea," but it didn't quite feel like it.
Even the Black Emperor stared intently at the Chaos Dao Diagram, trying to figure it out, but no matter how he looked at it, the edges of the diagram were covered with dense and complex Dao patterns, making it impossible for him to comprehend it.
Ye Fan, who had sat in the " Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin," sensed this special aura. It was the Daoist charm emanating from the nameless scripture, and his Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi also had a similar faint aura.
After briefly comprehending the icy and snowy phenomenon, Su Yu exhaled a breath of hot air, and instantly the Snow Zhen Ice shattered, the Dao Diagram returning to its Chaos state.
"You have already entered the realm of the Holy Lord?" The Black Emperor was startled and frightened.
Hearing this, Ye Fan was also somewhat shocked. Holy Lord, it was clearly rumored in the Holy City that Heavenly Master Cao was Half-Step Great Power, but he did not expect that this senior had already stepped into the Holy Lord realm, and could be compared with the heads of Holy Lands, Dynasties, and Aristocratic Families.
"My cultivation has improved slightly, but time waits for no one!" Su Yu shook his head, his expression calm, and didn't say anything more.
The mountains are so high that their peaks are difficult to see, soaring into the clouds. Above them are the sites of the Ice and Snow Palace, and each great snow mountain has a magnificent ice palace.
For miles around, towering mountains rise into the clouds, all within the territory of the Ice and Snow Palace. Through the wind and snow, one can vaguely see many mountains with sparkling crystals on them—those are magnificent ice palaces.
Ye Fan murmured Su Yu's words to himself, somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by "time waits for no one"?
For miles around, towering mountains reached into the clouds, covered in endless ice and snow. Finally, the Chaos clouds descended, and the three arrived at the foot of a great snow-capped mountain.
A purple light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes as he unleashed his Source Heaven Divine Sense, using the Earth Observation Technique to carefully observe and ponder the terrain of this great snow mountain.
" The True Dragon's Nest, this is the Myriad Dragon Nest, an Primordial Imperial Clan's abode. Let's go!" Su Yu explained briefly, then walked forward.
"The Nest of True Dragon... The Myriad Dragon Nest!" Ye Fan gazed at the snow-capped peaks connected together, which indeed resembled the skeleton of a Big Dragon, exuding a majestic aura.
"This terrain truly is the Myriad Dragon Nest!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.
This is the legendary Myriad Dragon Nest, which is only recorded in the Source Heaven Book, but there is no way to break it. It can be called one of the most terrifying forbidden places.
The so-called Myriad Dragon Nest can give rise to dragon veins, not just one or two. According to Source Heavenly Master's speculation, it may very well have been the nest of True Dragon countless ages ago.
When heaven and earth are in harmony, everything aligns with the secrets of heaven, and even the Myriad Dragon Nest can give birth to True Dragon.
Ye Fan jogged over and caught up with Su Yu, advising, "Daoist Master, this place is extremely ominous, a truly perilous place. Should we investigate further?"
"Don't worry, I know this place very well, and with this item in hand, it's enough to protect us!"
Seeing the worry in Ye Fan's eyes, Su Yu summoned the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar. In an instant, Chaos energy flowed, and crystal-clear black light cascaded down, enveloping him.
The Big Black Dog had caught up, looking at the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar with some sadness. It had been eyeing the jar for a long time, but in the end, it had all come to nothing. However, the fact that Su Yu was also from the Purple Mountain Lineage gave it some comfort.
Staring at the pottery jar above Su Yu's head, and at the Ghost Face Mask on it with an expression that was neither crying nor laughing, Ye Fan felt a little dazed, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, infected by the Ghost Face Mask.
At this moment, the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar trembled slightly, radiating Eternal immortal light, transforming into a hazy shimmering light and shadow.
Chapter 289 The Empress's Light and Shadow
This is a very remote little mountain village.
The little girl came from a poor family; her clothes were patched, and even her shoes had holes in her toes, making her look pitiful.
The boy was her only relative; they depended on each other for survival. The Ghost Face Mask was their only toy. They had no luxurious jewelry or ornaments. To cheer up the little girl, the boy made her a ring out of a piece of bronze. Although it was rough, the little girl treasured it.
Later, a group of people came here, regarded the boy as a prodigy, and took him away. They shook their heads at the little girl's talent, ignoring her cries and forcibly took the boy away.
The little girl cried loudly and ran away, losing her tattered little shoes. The boy pleaded with her, and finally one of the group agreed to let her go see him off.
Finally, they arrived at a Five-Colored Altar. The boy, along with a group of people and many young prodigies, ascended the altar to embark on their journey. Despite the little girl's cries, they could no longer approach.
Before leaving, the boy took the Ghost Face Mask, left the ring behind, waved it forcefully at her, and finally disappeared on the Five-Colored Altar.
Years later, the little girl grew up amidst hardship and remained near the altar. One day, she saw many people returning and rushed forward without hesitation, only to find the boy's remains. She was forcibly pulled away, not even allowed to take another look. She wept bitterly and never saw him again.
For some reason, upon seeing this scene, Ye Fan suddenly felt an intense pain in his heart, and tears streamed down his face.
As the little girl cried, the light and shadow vanished, plunging the place into a deathly silence, eerily quiet, where even the sound of wind and snow disappeared.
"A poor little girl with no qualifications, who later became the Ruthless Great Emperor who shook the ages?" The Black Emperor's heart was filled with turmoil, and his expression became unusually serious as he sighed.
"Is this my past life? The cause and effect that destined me to achieve greatness..." Ye Fan silently shed tears, feeling pity for the little girl.
But his heart was filled with confusion once again: Does Lunhui truly exist in this world?
"Was my past life... really the brother of the owner of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, the Ruthless Great Emperor?"
The three continued on their way, remaining completely silent. Even the usually active Big Black Dog remained quiet, seemingly pondering the light and shadow they had just witnessed.
"If I really am that boy, I accept the consequences of his actions!"
In the end, Ye Fan chose to accept it, even though he firmly believed that he was no ordinary person and that once his Sacred Body was fully formed, he would settle all karmic debts!
In this Lifetime, he received too much kindness, and kindness without any reason. From initial worry to present relief, this is the first time he has experienced the karma from his previous life.
The north wind howled all the way, and finally Ye Fan spoke, saying haltingly, "Daoist Master... that young man... is he also Sacred Body?"
Su Yu nodded slightly. After confirming that the young man possessed the Sacred Body, Ye Fan fell silent again. He quickly asked again, Undying to give up, "And his appearance?"
"Are you never going to stop?" Su Yu glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't overthink it. Just focus on your cultivation. Some things are useless for you to know!"
Even the Black Emperor was astonished. It couldn't quite understand the conversation between the two. Could Ye Fan be a descendant of the Ruthless Great Emperor? That was too outrageous.
But the Big Black Dog quickly forgot about it. Suddenly, it raised its head, looking surprised, and said, "What's that smell? It's so fragrant!"
"Really? I can't smell it." Awakened by the Black Emperor's shout, Ye Fan stopped worrying about the karma from his past life and asked in confusion.
"Woof!"
The Big Black Dog sniffed and said, "Most likely, some rare and precious herb is about to ripen."
Having said that, it galloped wildly through the snow-capped mountains, rushing forward.
Su Yu chuckled, grabbed Ye Fan, and then conjured a Chaos hand to hold the Black Emperor. The spatial runes beneath his feet shone brightly, allowing him to traverse the Void and leap dozens of miles in a single step, arriving directly in a snow valley.
The fragrance here was even stronger. As soon as Su Yu put down the Black Emperor, the Big Black Dog ran like a wild horse and galloped towards the center of the valley.
This place is filled with dragon energy and has an extraordinary atmosphere, making it a rare place for cultivation. In the center of the valley, there are six spiritual herbs that bloom in the cold ice and snow, their green light shimmering, and each bears a golden fruit.
The spiritual plant was only a little over a foot tall, and each plant bore a single fruit, about half a foot long, golden and translucent, shaped like True Dragon, which was quite extraordinary.
The valley is also home to many humanoid creatures, their bodies covered in long, snow-white hair.
Ye Fan recognized the snow apes, and the snow apes scattered throughout the snow valley were definitely all demonic beasts, perhaps even old apes that had cultivated to an extremely high level!
He shouted urgently, " Black Emperor, come back!"
After saying that, Ye Fan took off running, closely following the Big Black Dog.
However, the Big Black Dog ignored all advice and rushed straight for the spiritual herbs in the center of the valley, drool dripping from its mouth and its eyes burning with desire.
It laughed inwardly, "Hahaha, with Su Yu here, I'm definitely going to eat these six spirit fruits!"
The snow apes sensed the Black Emperor's presence and all stood up, their gazes fixed intently on Black Emperor, remaining in that position ever since...
Seeing Su Yu point his finger and freeze a group of snow apes in the valley, Ye Fan was amazed and then quickly ran towards the spiritual herbs.
In fact, he had the same thoughts as the Black Emperor. Moreover, as Dao Palace Fifth Heaven Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, he ran at full speed like a golden light, instantly surpassing the Black Emperor. Finally, he stretched out his hands and grabbed six divine fruits.
