Chapter 147 Completely Focused Upon
At this time, only Ye Fan himself knew how he had resisted the divine body’s attack. It had completely been because of an instinctive reaction from the Ancient Desolation Sacred Body.
A strange energy had spilled out from his Wheel and Sea when he had been being surprised and counteracted the Bright Moon Rising over the Sea Variation. Even he himself didn’t know what kind of strange power that was.
Of course, the main reason he had managed to do was because Ji Haoyue had suppressed his cultivation base to the same level. After all, Ji Ziyue was like the sun in the sky. If he were to use his real power, even if his physique was more special he would still have died without doubt.
When both at the Wheel and Sea realm, they were actually equally impressive. The Eastern Wastelands’ divine body truly was formidable, causing Ye Fan to be shocked. His Sacred Body acted as if it had met a great enemy, instinctively fighting back.
What he didn’t know was that Ji Haoyue was even more shocked than he was. Even now he still hadn’t completely calmed down.
At the moment he saw Ye Fan, his Eastern Wastelands’ divine body had had a strange reaction like meeting an old enemy. The nine divine king halos had appeared above his head acting on their most primal instinct to resist.
Hua Yunfei in his fluttering blue clothes was calm like rippling water. He appeared spiritual like an immortal, possessing a very special spiritual aura. Raising his cup, he said, “Everyone here is outstanding amongst people. In this southern region of the Eastern Wastelands, I hope that we will never be enemies.”
In reality, this so-called ‘southern region’ was endlessly bound. Strictly speaking this was just barely a corner of the southern region.
Everyone raised their cups. Other than the Star Peak’s disciples, the other dozen people were all geniuses, outstanding disciples of each of their sects.
All of them knew that never becoming enemies was not possible. They were all in the same area, and each sect’s development would definitely cause some friction. When that time comes those talented disciples would inevitably clash sooner or later.
But the current atmosphere was still very harmonious. Everyone was raising their cups, talking about cultivation experiences and various secrets.
“That old madman’s divine might was unparalleled back in the day. His might suppressed experts and none could resist. Speaking of which, my Flickering Light Sacred Master was once defeated by him and forced to return, completely unable to compete. Now that six thousand years have passed, he had long since died of old age, returning to the earth. But the Celestial Jade’s crazy old mad is still healthy, it really is unbelievable.”
The Flickering Light sacred lady raised her cup with her pure white hand, gently sipping. She was exceptionally beautiful, her face possessing a bedeviling smile as she sighed.
Ji Haoyue nodded. “The power of time is the most merciless. Even world-shaking figures are unable to resist it and will return to the dust, the dust turning back to the earth.” Saying this, he sighed. “Back in the day, three of my Ji Family’s powerful figures that were absolutely shockingly talented joined hands to fight against him, but were still defeated. These three peak figures had long lifespans, but in the then, it still ran out four thousand years ago and they died. The distant past really makes one sigh. How many almighty supremes exist that shake the heavens, but in the end unable to escape death, simply turning into a part of history as they return back to the earth.”
The two of their words didn’t mean that the Flickering Light Sacred Land and the Ji Family were weak. On the other hand, it meant that they had deep understanding of inside information. Losing to the old madman back in the day was nothing.
In reality, those great figures whose legacies extended back to the Ancient Desolation had had many peerless figures appear within them that none at their time could compete against. There was no need for them to brag.
“This old madman is completely unfathomable. I wonder if back in the day there really was anyone in the Eastern Wastelands who was his match…” Hua Yunfei said, “He left behind Dao Glyphs in my Taixuan Sect to pass through the void. Those glyphs were completely incomprehensible. It looks like he wanted to go someplace extremely far, but we don’t know just where.”
The conversation topic flowed to the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Land and how the Ji Family, the Flickering Light Sacred Land, the Jiang family had all joined hands but were unable to succeed, being completely exterminated. It caused everyone here to sigh.
Amongst the people present, Ye Fan was the only one who had experienced that place, but he was unable to speak about it. Otherwise, Ji Haoyue and the Flickering Light sacred lady would inevitably fight over him.
Speaking of the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Land, the conversation inevitably then switched to the Great Primordial Mine in the Eastern Wastelands’ northern portion. With the word Primordial in its title it clearly described how far back its history extended. It was hard to trace that far back.
Over the endless years, the Great Primordial Mine was the most famous mine for Sources within the Eastern Wastelands. They then found an ominous thing, the result that it became one of the seven areas forbidden to life.
“According to legend, over these countless years they’ve excavated a couple Divine Sources with powerful lifeforms sealed inside. Some of them were human shaped, killing everyone.”
“It’s said that Sources require a long time to take shape. At the very latest they had to start taking form by time immemorial. For its history to go back to such a time is really shocking…”
These young disciples had all gathered together, all speaking about various secret affairs, naturally arriving on the topic of cultivation.
Not long after people brough the subject of cultivators’ physiques. Several years ago, there was a rumor that the divine body was on the verge of being born within the Eastern Wastelands, and not just one.
Everyone present all looked at Ji Haoyue, asking him whether there really were other people. At the same time many of them looked at Ye Fan, many of them suspecting this youngster might also possess such a physique.
“There should be two, one of whom is me. The other person is in the Eastern Wasteland’s northern region, within the Jiang Family,” said Ji Haoyue.
The Jiang Family was also an ancient noble family located near Jiangshui River. It’s name shook this endless land as one of the most supreme existences within the Eastern Wastelands.
Ye Fan immediately thought of little Tingting and Uncle Jiang. He didn’t know whether going to the Jiang Family was a good thing or not for them and whether they had become accustomed to that lifestyle.
The Great Primordial Mine, the Jiang Family, as well as the Jade Lake Sacred Land were all in the northern region of the Eastern Wastelands. Ye Fan had long since decided he had to go there, but he still had no way of doing so.
Speaking of which, there was also an enemy there he had to be on guard against, Jiang Yichen. In order to find his precious treasures he sent the Jiang Family’s knights to chase after him for thousands of miles, making it so he had nowhere to go under the heavens.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but to become distracted when he thought of this. He definitely thought it was now time to leave here. It wasn’t safe to continue staying within the Taixuan Sect.
“Does junior brother Ye also possess a divine body?” At this moment, a green-clothed woman opened her mouth, and all of them glanced over at him, many of them knowing this was a joke.
“If I had a divine body would I be this free? I would have long since been concealed like senior brother Ji was. Without reaching some success with my divine body I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to show my face in public.” Ye Fan was very composed and calm.
“That’s true.” Some of them nodded.
“Then that shocks me even more. Junior brother Ye, if you don’t have a divine body, how did your physical body resist senior brother Haoyue’s limitless divine might?” That green-clothed woman once more asked. She was from the Unfettered Sect, a talented disciple called Li Youyou.
The Unfettered Sect was thirty thousand kilometers away from here, separated by dozens of nations. It was also a supreme sect within this area, just below a Sacred Land and on par with the Taixuan Sect.
“Well I think it might have something to do with me eating a strange fruit back when I was a child. A couple strange changes occurred, a couple of them which are secret that I can’t tell others.” Ye Fan knew trouble had come and he had to leave as soon as possible.
Hua Yunfei smiled, saying, “I’ll play another tune to help the wine drinking.” He turned the subject, not letting Li Youyou continue questioning.
Atop the fragrant meadow, everyone was drinking and talking, each acting properly and not asking too many questions.
The zither music lingered like a water from a great mountain, flowing naturally like immortal music, intoxicating people.
It was needless to say that Hua Yunfei’s skill had practically reached the point where his skill had reached the Dao. Under the control of his skillful fingers, the zither released all kinds of wonderful music, the sound drawing a poetic and picturesque scene.
Water flowed as if they were deep in the mountains next to a clear spring softly and gently flowing. Paying attention to the sound, it was joyful and passionate, spontaneous and drawn out, majestic like the flowing clouds and water.
The zither music seemed to almost pull the curtain of night over them. Moonlight spilled over them, heavenly watchtowers almost visible, the Jade Lake appearing before them, fairies flying gracefully, riding the celestial wind, their color and charm emotionally moving.
When the tune finally ended, everyone noticed that the fragrant meadows surrounding flowers had all blossomed, bursts of fragrance filling the air. The zither music had actually contained a fantastic energy that caused all the flowers to simultaneously flourish and bloom.
Everyone clapped.
The Flickering Light sacred lady and Ye Fan were not that far from each other. Her beauty was like a divine lotus blossoming, sparkling bright. She cheerfully smiled and talked, like the clouds covering the moon, like the breeze blowing past jade flowers, elegant and beautiful.
Her eyes were like water and her laugh passed to Ye Fan. “Junior brother Ye, if you ever need anything you can always come ask me for help. I won’t make it hard on you.”
Ye Fan’s heart shook, and he said, “Will others make it hard on me?”
“It’s possible. Since your physique is so special there might be some people who want to invite you to be a ‘guest’ at their sect.” The Flickering Light sacred lady was as beautiful as jade. She cast a bewitching glance at him.
“I just want to safely cultivate. I don’t want to be disturbed by others.” Ye Fan indifferently said.
“No harm. If you have any problems, I’ll come to you to help resolve them. I believe there won’t be anyone who will lightly make things difficult,” she said, extending an olive branch. Her beauty made her appear like an immortal, like a pearl blooming in light, a very bewitching appearance.
Ye Fan immediately understood she was trying to draw him to her.
Just at this moment, Ji Ziyue gently laughed, “After this is over, my big brother would like to invite you back to the Ji Family.”
In comparison, Ji Haoyue was much more direct by asking him to the Ji Family. He had many suspicions. If he couldn’t understand Ye Fan’s physique then he would always be uneasy.
These were two supreme powers. If it were others, they would definitely be elated. But Ye Fan felt a headache as he absolutely could not enter a Sacred Land or Ancient Desolation Noble Family like this.
Otherwise the green copper would definitely be exposed, and even more importantly, they clearly wanted to study his physique. This absolutely could not be allowed. If they were to examine his Wheel and Sea, they would definitely find his secrets.
The most important thing was that Li Ruoyu had once warned him that the Ancient Desolation sacred Body could not be exposed to those supreme existences that had legacies back to the Ancient Desolation.
At this moment, the Flickering Light sacred lady lightly smiled and said, “Junior brother Ye, if you could take a walk with me for a while, I have some things I want to say to you.”
At the same time, Ji Haoyue’s eyes emitted two divine lights and he personally transmitted to Ye Fan, “I want to invite you back to the Ji Family as a guest.”
At the same time again, several divine transmissions rang in Ye Fan’s mind, all express goodwill and wanting to discuss things with him.
Ye Fan knew this was a terrible thing. He patiently responded one by one, all stalling for more time.
“Ji Haoyue, you have a divine body, and because you had nothing to do you actually tested me like this and made such a big trouble.” Ye Fan inwardly muttered to himself. He had no idea that Ji Haoyue’s divine body had been disturbed and that he had had no choice but to do the probing.
“Looks like I definitely have to muddy the waters a bit and find them something more interesting than me. I have to think of how to make a stir to draw the focus so I can take advantage of the confusion to leave…” Ye Fan carefully thought about it, then raising his head and saying, “Everyone, I think you might not know yet, but something huge is about to occur that will shake the Eastern Wastelands.”
“What?” The Flickering Light sacred lady’s black hair fluttered, her face like jade, her eyes brightly shining in a moving manner.
“I think that everyone here should have heard of the Bronze Immortal Palace right? It is right about to reappear once more…”
The Bronze Immortal Palace represented a chance to become Immortal! It was recorded within the Eastern Wastelands ancient texts that every time it appeared it would shake the Eastern Wastelands, creating huge waves. Peerless experts would be like moths to the flame as they were drew there.
