"Ding-dong."
A melodious voice rang out, and Jiang Ruoyu walked out gracefully. She wore a jade crown, a gold and white dress, and her black hair cascaded down her back. A white jade hairpin adorned her cloud-like hair, and her purple and gold-inlaid skirt was decorated with exquisite pearls. With each step, she swayed and radiated a captivating glow.
Princess Ancient Hua walked to Jiang Xuan's side and quietly looked at the young man before her. Her gaze was calm, suppressing the restlessness in her heart.
On the other side, the purple-clad youth carrying the divine sword stared coldly at Ye Fan.
Ji Haoyue transmitted her thoughts telepathically, saying, "If you dare to betray Ziyue, I will never let you go."
Hearing his brother-in-law's threat, Ye Fan's face grew even darker, his heart filled with bitterness. Jiang Ruoyu's affair was purely coincidental; originally, after clearing her name, the two had parted ways.
However, Jiang Ruoyu recognized Ye Fan and wanted to seize the Black-Yellow Source Root. The two fought many times, and the girl was defeated each time, but she still followed him relentlessly. Her real purpose was to escape the pursuit of the second largest bandit in the Northern Region.
During his escape from the Northern Region, Ye Fan and the Black Emperor were separated due to an accident involving the array patterns. He was ambushed in the Ink White Realm and almost died there. While he was seriously injured, Princess Ancient Hua stayed by his side and took care of him for half a month.
Faced with Jiang Ruoyu's affection, Ye Fan could not refuse. That period was the most painful time of his life. His Indestructible Golden Body was severely injured by the Myriad Tribulations Sect Immortal Platform, and he lost all his divine power, becoming like a cripple.
On his deathbed, he thought of many people: friends, family, and Little Moon, but only Jiang Ruoyu was by his side...
Just as Ye Fan's thoughts were in turmoil, Ancient Hua Jiang Xuan and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family stared at each other without saying a word. The telepathic communication between Ji Haoyue and Ye Fan could not be hidden from the two of them at all.
"Eighth Elder, I never expected you to have reached the Immortal Platform Second Heaven."
A fragrant aroma of Divine Medicine wafted over, and Su Yu, stepping on golden runes, appeared in the main hall, smiling as he looked at the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, beginning his charade.
"Greetings, Chaos Palace Master "
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family naturally bowed. The Ji Family members behind him also bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Chaos Palace Master "
The Imperial Uncle Ancient Hua, who was standing to the side, also followed suit and bowed to Su Yu, without feeling embarrassed.
Now that things have come to this, some things no longer need to be concealed or hidden. Cao Yusheng's identity is now linked to the Chaos Palace, and one layer of his disguise has been removed.
This is harmless. After Cao Yusheng, there is the Heavenly Emperor's Son Ling Yu, and after the Ancient Emperor, there is Su Yu of the Ruthless One Lineage.
To fit his persona, Su Yu displayed the aura of the second minor realm of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, and said gently, "No need for formalities, I am still a guest elder of the Ji Family."
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family beamed with satisfaction at Su Yu's answer, and the Ji Family members behind him also showed joy.
Things are different now. Cao Yusheng now wields Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and is the Chaos Palace Master. He is on good terms with the Ancient Emperor Clans behind the Green Lotus Imperial Dynasty, and his power is immense. Being on good terms with them is extremely beneficial to the Ji Family.
Su Yu adopted a humble attitude, saying in a gentle tone, "Uncle Ancient Hua, there's no need for such formalities. I am merely at the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform; how can I allow Great Power Immortal Platform Second Heaven to pay me respects?"
"The Celestial Master is too modest; propriety must not be disregarded," Ancient Hua Jiang Xuan replied with a smile.
Looking at Ye Fan, who seemed like a puppet to both families, Su Yu chuckled and said, " Ye Fan, both families want to help you break through to the Four Extremes. Do you have anything to say?"
Chapter 331 Heavenly Emperor Ye's Dao Heart Collapses
Above the sky, amidst a dazzling halo of clouds, thirty-six divine palaces surround the central azure-gold temple, forming a unique Dao- Severing the Dao formation.
Bathed in a halo of light, the azure palace exuded a sacred aura, shrouded in wisps of celestial mist, appearing solemn and dignified.
From a distance, these palace complexes appear like mirages, appearing and disappearing, hidden in the cracks of the Void, magnificent and grand.
Inside the main hall, all eyes were on Ye Fan, while Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
As the master of this place, he had already figured out all the causes and effects between Ye Fan, Jiang Ruoyu, and Ji Ziyue. Both women had shared life-and-death experiences with Ye Fan and had deep feelings for him.
Ye Zi goes without saying, given their connection through the two Bronze Immortal Palace encounters. Jiang Ruoyu, on the other hand, had served Ye Fan attentively for over half a month; in a sense, the two had already become completely honest with each other...
This information was purchased by Su Yu from the Big Black Dog using a Divine Phoenix Secret Technique, and it was extremely detailed.
Faced with the host's challenge, Ye Fan could only raise his head, the gloom on his face disappearing, replaced by a confident smile.
He hesitated for a moment, then bowed to the Eighth Ancestor of the Desolate Antiquity Ji Family.
Ye Fan expresses his sincere gratitude to all the seniors. Ye Fan will be extremely grateful if he can successfully break through to the Four Extremes.
After speaking, he again showed the respect due to a junior to Ancient Hua Jiang Xuan.
Seeing the young man's sincere attitude, Ancient Hua's royal uncle nodded slightly, not caring about the order of precedence, and said calmly, "Do you know about the matter of the Great Evolution Holy Land?"
Ye Fan nodded and said, "This junior is aware of this matter."
"Since that's the case, are you still determined to break through to the Four Extremes? Legend has it that cultivating a single secret realm can lead to sainthood, and with your Source Heavenly Divine Technique, your future is immeasurable. If you choose the path of breaking through realms, perhaps everything will come to naught."
The man in the nine-dragon robe stared at Ye Fan, his pupils transforming into divine runes, radiating a unique Daoist aura, as if he could see directly into the soul of another.
Su Yu didn't interfere with them, and went up the jade steps on his own, starting to play with a divine seal.
The jade seal on the purple jade table was crystal clear, with nine-colored divine light flowing around it, incomparably beautiful, and exuding a unique Daoist charm. This was a magical artifact that he had made by imitating the Immortal Exquisite with the Nine Heavens Divine Jade, ranking among the Severing the Dao, with boundless power.
For a moment, Ye Fan was dazed, his mind and soul captivated by the dragon's roar, but he quickly recovered his spirit and was not disturbed by the other party.
Although his current realm is at the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven, under the tempering of the Sacred Fruit, his divine sense is comparable to that of Half-Step Great Power in the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, and he also has a secret treasure to protect him.
Ye Fan's eyes were very clear. Seeing the worried look in the eyes of the girl in the crowd, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but my mind is made up. Please don't say anything more."
"Indeed, no wonder Heavenly Master Cao favors you. With this kind of mindset, I have high hopes for you."
Jiang Xuan chuckled, a hint of approval in his eyes. He tucked his sleeves in and bowed to Su Yu above, saying, "Palace Master, our Ancient Hua Divine Dynasty is willing to contribute two million catties of Pure Source to help the Sacred Body break through his cultivation barrier."
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family did not confront him. This time, he only brought one million catties of Origin. Most of the family members still hated Ye Fan, otherwise they would not have let Ji Tianyao bring the Void Ancient Mirror into the Northern Region.
Su Yu nodded slightly, not paying any attention to the two million catties of Pure Source from the Ancient Hua Dynasty. His gaze deepened slightly as he said to Ji Haoyue, "Brother Haoyue, you're always inseparable from Ziyue, why haven't we seen the Pearl of the Ji Family today?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face turned green. His heroic demeanor vanished, his straight back bent, and his mind was in turmoil, filled with fear for the future...
Black Emperor witnessed the event reaching its climax. It watched the situation unfold quietly, a bright smile on its face, looking exactly like a big gray wolf. Just now, Su Yu had communicated with it telepathically, saying that Ji Ziyue would arrive soon and the grand show was about to begin, so it shouldn't miss it.
Ji Haoyue stepped forward, glanced coldly at Ye Fan, and said, " The Ji Family has come today for the Palace Master, not for anyone else."
The expressions of the others varied. Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yu, on the other hand, smiled leisurely. Now, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family held a high position and great power in the Ji Family. With his assistance, although he had only just entered the Immortal Platform Second Heaven, he was already among the top five in the Ji Family's upper echelons, holding an extremely high status.
Logically speaking, as a princess of the Ji Family, Ji Yanzhi would not have allowed Ji Ziyue to come here, but thanks to the machinations of the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, everything changed.
At this very moment, Ji Ziyue was already in another palace; he only needed to wave his hand to appear here.
"I haven't seen Ziyue for a while either, and I miss her a bit." Su Yu's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes held a hint of something unfathomable.
Ye Fan, below, had a bad feeling, as if a great disaster was about to befall him.
Suddenly, a phoenix cry rang out from afar, and an incomparably magnificent crimson-gold phoenix, pulling a jade chariot, flew in and landed outside the palace. Yan Li, dressed in a cinnabar-green Daoist robe, stepped down from the chariot and said to the purple-clad girl behind her, "Let's go, the person you want to see is inside."
"Lord Green Lotus King!" Pang Bo and the other Demon Clan guarding outside the palace knelt on one knee upon seeing Yan Li, their attitude extremely respectful.
Yan Li nodded slightly, then walked in, paying no attention to the minor demons of the Dao Palace.
Following behind, Ji Ziyue recognized Pang Bo, Ye Fan's good friend. She smiled brightly, her eyebrows arching, while Pang Bo shivered and began to worry about Ye Fan inside the hall.
Due to the occasion, the two did not exchange pleasantries. Ji Ziyue took a deep breath and began to reveal a hint of the mystery of her Origin Spirit Body. She walked gracefully, stepping on the veins of the Void, her body shrouded in a water-like radiance, incomparably holy.
As the two entered the palace, Jiang Xuan and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family bowed to Yan Li, who was at the Holy Lord Realm.
"Greetings, Green Lotus King."
Upon seeing the figure behind the Green Lotus King, Ji Haoyue frowned, the sword box on his back trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with a sharp, incomparably piercing light that made it impossible to look directly at him.
As for Ye Fan, he resumed his puppet show, silently gazing at the lapis lazuli floor tiles, remaining motionless.
"So you've finally met your match."
The Black Emperor watched the scene unfold with great interest, a jade pendant hidden beneath his jet-black fur serving as a memento to commemorate this historic moment.
Ji Ziyue wore a long purple dress, her face was stunningly beautiful, her skin was fair and flawless, and her slender legs revealed Perfect World curve in the dress, like a dream, her starry eyes were captivating.
She walked to the side of the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Fan.
From the crowd of the Ancient Hua Dynasty, a beautiful young woman stepped forward. Jiang Ruoyu looked intently at Ye Fan, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears.
She originally didn't want to be impolite here, but now that Ji Ziyue has arrived, if she still adheres to etiquette, she might regret it for the rest of her life.
The Green Lotus King nodded to Su Yu. He held an extremely high position in the Green Lotus Imperial Dynasty, equivalent to the various Holy Lord, and could be treated as an equal to the Chaos Palace Master.
"Fellow Daoist Cao, the source is all prepared."
Su Yu nodded slightly and chuckled, " Your Green Lotus King, you've had a long and tiring journey."
"It was just a small matter. I was going to come to the Southern Region anyway, and I also wanted to witness the Sacred Body's breakthrough." Yan Li glanced at Ye Fan, her attitude very warm.
Ye Fan was caught between two women, with his brother-in-law's sharp gaze on his side. He was in a desperate situation and dared not utter a word.
Seeing Ye Fan's embarrassed state, Su Yu laughed rather unkindly and used a secret technique to secretly record the scene.
In a corner of the main hall, the Black Emperor finished recording the video, only to find that it could not be saved at all. There were three Great Power beings at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven and one at the Third Heaven of Severing the Dao here, whose divine Power of Thought filled the area, making ordinary recording jade pendants ineffective.
Despite having witnessed this major development, Su Yu did not push Ye Fan into a corner. He said seriously, " Ye Fan, the ten million jin of Origin are now ready. You should prepare well for tomorrow's breakthrough."
He descended the jade steps, passing between the three people. With a slight movement of his lips, he transmitted a message to Ye Fan through divine sense. "Under the Innate Dao Diagram, you may perish. While you still have time, make the most of it and don't leave any regrets."
With Su Yu and the Green Lotus King's departure, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family and Jiang Xuan also prepared to leave.
Seeing that Ji Ziyue didn't move, Ji Haoyue said solemnly, " Ziyue, it's time to go."
Jiang Ruoyu was different. Seeing that she wasn't leaving, Jiang Xuan let her go and led the Ancient Hua group away.
The girl in golden robes had shoulders like those of a sculpted figure, a waist as slender as a silken thread, and skin as smooth as solidified cream. She moved with delicate steps, her slender waist gracefully swaying.
Seeing Ji Haoyue's assistance, Jiang Ruoyu, " Princess Ziyue, you should leave first, so as not to worry your family."
As she spoke, the girl reached out her hands, trying to take Ye Fan's arm. However, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body of the Dao Palace Fifth Heaven was filled with vast blood energy, which she could not shake at all.
Seeing that Ye Fan was not cooperating at all, Jiang Ruoyu sneered inwardly, but on the surface she did not move an inch. She gently held Ye Fan's hand, spoke softly and smiled gently, and looked at Ji Ziyue quietly.
Witnessing this, Ji Ziyue remained expressionless, her large, bright eyes filled with indescribable emotions as she gazed at Ye Fan's eyes, but the latter did not respond to her.
Seeing that the boy she once knew had changed his mind, and recalling the time they spent together, the girl in the purple dress felt a pang of pain in her heart. She closed her eyes, turned around, and prepared to leave with Ji Haoyue.
Ji Haoyue shook her head, looking at her younger sister's forced composure, her eyes slightly red, feeling heartbroken. She coldly said to Ye Fan, "When you reach the Four Extremes, we will have a life-or-death battle between equals."
After saying that, the brother-in-law grabbed Little Moon and tried to take her away.
" Ziyue, it's not what you think..."
Seeing the white moonlight in his heart gradually fading away, Ye Fan broke his silence. With a flash, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, using the Merak Steps to block the entrance of the palace, obstructing the two's path.
Princess Ancient Hua's face was pale. She wanted to go over, but stopped, not wanting to put Ye Fan in a difficult position. Compared to Ji Ziyue, she was more arrogant, and it was precisely because of this that she was willing to give up everything for her lover...
"Get out of the way."
Ji Haoyue drew her silver sword and held it horizontally against Ye Fan's neck. The blade was icy cold, as if she wanted to drink the holy blood.
Ye Fan seemed to have broken free from some kind of constraint, no longer dwelling on gains and losses, and said seriously, "I have something to say to Ziyue."
