Chapter 129 Related by Marriage
“What’s going on?” Ji Ziyue’s beautiful eyes gleamed with light, her red lips opened slightly and her mouth showed a disbelieving expression. She had no way of understanding why the Black and Yellow Qi would appear on his fist.
Just by looking at Ye Fan’s fist, people would feel an extremely powerful sensation, as if nothing could stop it. The Origin Qi of all things seemed to have been refined on top of it.
“Xuanhuan is the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, a sacred material for refining Vessels. How is it possible for it appear on your fist?” Ji Ziyue’s eyes flashed with a strange light.
Ye Fan released his fist and the Xuanyuan Origin Qi faded, returning back to his Sea of Bitterness to curl around the green copper’s surroundings. He had also been afraid to be crushed by it, as this Origin Qi was too heavy and he had no way of receiving it.
Just now, a thread of it had appeared on his fists, causing his heart to leap in fear. It was good the patinated copper was suppressing the Origin Qi and nothing untoward happened.
The greened copper that was submerged at the bottom of his sea and the Xuanhuan Origin Qi stuck together. His body was just a carrier. Revolving within his Wheel and Sea, it might actually cause Xuanhuan essence to appear.
This caused him to feel uneasy. If it weren’t for the copper shard suppressing it, the danger of him being crushed to death could occur any moment. This much Origin Qi was enough to crush him countless times over!
However, danger always exists alongside opportunity. Although it might not be safe, but if it was used properly, this could become an unstoppable weapon!
Just how formidable was a fist with Xuanhuan essence on it? It could crush a thousand spells and pierce through countless divine abilities!
Ye Fan was considering whether it was really possible to have the Xuanhuan Origin Qi be refined into his body. But after thinking about it, he felt that was too difficult and was probably impossible to do at the moment.
Xuanhuan was too difficult to refine. Peak cultivators used it to refine Vessels, and it was unheard of for someone to use it to refine their body, since it was too dangerous.
“The end of a path is reached by walking. Everything can just be done slowly and carefully.” He wasn’t at all anxious for quick results. He had plenty of time.
“Your body is very special…” Ji Ziyue truly was smart and sharp.
“What have you noticed?” Ye Fan had now returned to his normal self, with an open smile that made him appear like a harmless fourteen-year old.
“Just now your body shone like a lamp, faultless, surpassing spiritual treasures…”’
Just now Ye Fan had shed his mortal body a third time. His body had shone, his flesh turning almost crystal. All of it had fallen into her eyes. Such a transformation was extremely shocking.
Once cultivators reached the Paramita realm, a different kind of rebirth would occur. They’d switch out their blood, refine new bones, and break out of the cocoon as a butterfly. But the blood and bone rebirth that Ji Ziyue knew was completely different from Ye Fan’s transformation!
“This kind of promotion is definitely not ordinary, far beyond common sense.” A bewildered expression appeared as she studied Ye Fan. According to what Ji Ziyue knew, if reaching the Paramita realm was like a bug becoming a butterfly, then Ye Fan’s transformation was like a bug becoming a phoenix!
“Even if you had the demon race’s Great Emperor’s sacred blood to refine your body it shouldn’t have been like that. This kind of change is completely comparable to the mighty people from ancient times who shed their mortal bodies.”
Ji Ziyue became more and more puzzled, making repeated guesses, muttering to herself, “For normal cultivators, even if their bodies did transform, it wouldn’t be like that. It wouldn’t even be a tenth as great as what occurred to you! Then does that mean…you also have a divine body?!”
Ye Fan didn’t reply. This kind of shedding his mortal body transformation was much more magical than the switching out of blood and refining new bones change once reaching the Paramita realm. He had learned that long ago.
After all, he had consumed the divine medicine and the Demon Emperor’s sacred blood. Whenever his Ancient Desolation Sacred Body’s transformed, it would always be amazing.
“Other cultivators’ transformations can’t compare to yours, not even close to shedding their mortal bodies…then does that mean…you really do have a divine body like my older brother?”
“Don’t try to compare him to me. I’ll beat him up one day.”
“You…” Ji Ziyue was very dissatisfied, wrinkling her nose and saying, “If brother Haoyue[1] appears, the current you would die in an instant.”
“I’ll temporarily avoid him. Once I succeed in my cultivation, I’ll beat him senseless.”
“Hmph!” She cast a glance at him. Of course talking about her brother like this caused her to be dissatisfied. “Even if you cultivated for another hundred years, you wouldn’t be able to beat my brother.”
“Doesn’t he just have a Variation – Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea? When the time comes, I’ll break his moon and grow plants within his sea.”
“Now that my brother’s divine body has been cultivated to the minor success level, he’s unrivalled in the Eastern Wastelands’ younger generation. You, who has yet to even reach the doorstep of the Dao Temple realm, want to compete with him? It really is…”
Ye Fan naturally didn’t think he could win, he was just teasing her a bit. Pinching Ji Ziyue’s nose, he said, “Just wait for it. That arrogant moon will be beat up in an instant. It isn’t even worthy of my fist.”
“I’ll wait for him to beat you up!” Ji Ziyue became angry, opening her small mouth and revealing her sparkling teeth, biting down on Ye Fan’s finger.
“Just like a little puppy, trying to bite me…” Ye Fan lightly laughed. “What’s so great about the divine body? His little sister still became my prisoner.”
Although he spoke like this, Ye Fan truly had a big headache. The Ji Family’s name shook the Eastern Wastelands, a supreme existence. If they knew Ji Ziyue was in his hands, the result would be obvious.
How should I handle her?
He was unable to kill her and unable to let her go. Ji Ziyue knew too many of his secrets. The copper shard and the rest definitely could not be discovered by others.

“Why was the demon race’s Great Emperor’s heart within your body?”
“What is that patinated copper?”
“Your body is so strange. When you shed your mortal body, it was just like my brother. Do you really have a divine body?”
Several days had passed and Ji Ziyue continuously asked questions that Ye Fan was unwilling to answer.
Ye Fan left this place today in order to find out information about the current world.
What he thought was strange was that the underground river back then hadn’t led him out of Wei yet. Instead, he was now on the eastern side, while he had entered from the western side.
This place had a supreme power, known as Taixuan. It took up an extremely large space, and all the eastern immortal mountains were part of the sect’s lands. There were a hundred and eight mountains in the mountain range, each representing a kind of inheritance, each inheritance far surpassing anything from a small set like the Spirit Ruins Paradise.
In this vast land, other than the Ji Family and the Flickering Light Sacred Land, no other sect could compare to it.
The Eastern Wastelands were boundless. The amount of nations within it were countless.
Back in the day, when the Taixuan sect was at its peak, its strength was in the top hundred of the Eastern Wastelands, a giant and leviathan. Especially in this area, it was particularly outstanding. The surrounding hundred nations had few sects that could stand by its side.
“A supreme power…” Ye Fan didn’t want to provoke such a sect.
Other than that, he heard quite a bit about Ji Haoyue.
The appearance of a divine body appearing in the Ji Family shook the Eastern Wastelands. It foreordained that the Ji Family would proper for thousands of years. For a divine body to live for thousands of years was no problem.
Ji Haoyue abruptly appeared so powerful, continuously attacking the demon race, already having assaulted several immortal caves of Greater Demons completely invincibly.
Over the past two months, no one could compare to him.
Several supreme powers all wondered why the Ji Family was making such a great war.
Ye Fan had a hunch that Ji Haoyue was not so simple, otherwise there was no way he could survive after Yan Ruyu’s golden lotus Variation. The Ji Family should attach great importance to him.
But in this short time, there was no news of Ji Ziyue going missing. It was like the news had been deliberately hidden.
Ye Fan secretly thought that the Ji Family figured she had somehow ended up in the demon race’s hands, and therefore prevented this news from appearing.
The best option for Ye Fan right now was to secretly live in seclusion. If he was noticed by others and they found Ji Ziyue, that would definitely be a huge disaster.

Several days later, Ye Fan started to refine his Vessel. It had already completely shattered into a formless shape and merged with the Black and Yellow Qi, meaning it could be once more refined.
This was a very difficult process. The Origin Qi of all existence was very much out of the ordinary. To have it take the shape of a cauldron wasn’t that much less difficult than ascending into the heavens.
Ye Fan chose to refine the cauldron once again on top of the patinated copper. The broken part of the greened copper gave him an inconceivable feeling, and in just half a month, the cauldron’s coarse embryo was already formed!
The copper shard was mysterious and unfathomable. For it to refine the Xuanhuan wasn’t too difficult.
After the little Xuanhuan cauldron had taken shape, it appeared extremely simple, possessing an innate Dao charm that made it hard to look at.
But as soon as it was moved away from the copper remnant, the small cauldron immediately turned back into Black and Yellow Qi, completely dissolving, causing Ye Fan to feel helpless.
Heaven and earth were separate, yet were also a whole. Their very essence was this Xuanhuan.
The Origin Qi of all creation was extremely difficult to control. To have it truly become a cauldron was simply far too difficult!
But this also meant that once he succeeded in refining it, it would become an absolutely incomparable Vessel.
After finishing with his cultivation for the moment, Ye Fan once more thought of the Ji Family and felt a headache.
Learning against a tree with a strand of grass in his mouth, he looked at Ji Ziyue and said, “Little girl, how about I find a husband for you.”
“Go die!” J Ziyue became annoyed, glaring back at him.
“Why are you so stirred up? You have to get married someday, and now I guarantee to find you a good husband. When the time comes, we’ll be our own people, and I won’t go find any trouble with your brother.”
“What kind of random crap are you spouting!” Ji Ziyue was seething, not even bothering to look at him.
“Well in the future, the only way to be sure I won’t completely pulverize your brother is this method.” Boasting shamelessly, he said, “Actually, your Ji Family can also be considered a great family. For his family to be related to it wouldn’t be that bad.”
“I’ve never met such a scoundrel!” Ji Ziyue’s cheeks bulged, wanting to bite Ye Fan.
Ji Haoyue had a divine body and was far above the rest of the world. He wasn’t someone the current Ye Fan could compare to. As for the Ji Family, it was an enormous existence of the Eastern Wastelands, an absolutely supreme existence. For Ye Fan to speak in such a manner about it, as if marrying into it was a benefit for them, was absolutely outrageous.
“This husband of yours is truly extraordinary. He obtained the demon race’s mighty inheritance. His name is Pang Bo, and he is definitely a good match for you.”
“If he wants to marry someone, he can marry you!” Ji Ziyue raged and cursed, “I hope you and the demon live a long and happy life together. When the times comes you can have a tiny little demon monster, no, a human demon.”
“Little girl, your mouth is quite vicious.” Ye Fan involuntarily laughed, throwing away the grass in his mouth and saying, “Since you don’t want to marry with a demon, I guess I’ll reluctantly take it upon myself to take you.”
Ji Ziyue’s eyes flashed with cleverness. “I want to tell you a secret.”
“What secret?”
“It can’t be passed beyond us. Come closer.”
Ye Fan walked closer and said, “If it pertains to the ancient scripture’s secret then I’d very much like to hear it.
“The secret is…I want to bite you!” Ji Ziyue completely flipped out, biting down on Ye Fan ears. She had long since been completely infuriated.
“Don’t be so savage.” Ye Fan threw off her mouth, smiling and saying, “Actually, to be married is a good thing for you. I want you to be free, otherwise having you trapped here everyday will make me feel concerned for your safety.”
“You’re afraid of my family, as well as my brother right?” Ji Ziyue truly wanted to bite Ye Fan, only then could she relieve her anger.
“Ah, what a headache…I’ll let you think about it.” Ye Fan massaged his temples.
