Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 310 - 311 Chapter 316 Immortal Spirit Eye

311: Chapter 316: Immortal Spirit Eye 311: Chapter 316: Immortal Spirit Eye The blue-clad girl, like an elf under the moonlit night, possessed a celestial, otherworldly presence, embodying both spiritual aura and beauty.

A stretch of Immortal Maple Trees, vividly green as if carved from jade, swayed gently, their emerald light flowing.

A shower of pure white petals fell incessantly, their fragrant aroma intoxicating.

“Weiwei!” Ye Fan was startled; he saw an old acquaintance.

Weiwei hailed from Spirit Ruins Paradise; she was the one who had led Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others out from the mountain forests beyond the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Land.

Possessing a natural talent rarely seen in a millennium, Spirit Ruins Paradise had not wanted to delay her cultivation and had sent her to the Flickering Light Sacred Land.

Back then, when Ye Fan had traversed the void from the southern region to the northern region and infiltrated the Flickering Light Sacred Land, Weiwei had seemingly noticed him but had not exposed him, even intentionally offering a few hints.

Ye Fan had not expected to meet her here.

He waved his large sleeve, instantly sweeping the big black dog into it.

“Kid, what do you think you’re doing?” The big black dog wanted to bite him.

“I’ve encountered an acquaintance.

Behave yourself, lest you give us away.” They had recently been plundering bandits, so Ye Fan was using the Heaven and Earth Changing Technique to hide his true form.

His only weakness in this disguise was the big black dog.

“You know this girl, pure as crystal and beautiful as an elf?” Tu Fei was surprised, then quipped, “You beast!

How come I’ve noticed you have connections with so many girls?” “Stop your vile humor,” Ye Fan said.

“This girl was kind to me; she saved me before she became a Flickering Light disciple.” Though still far away, Weiwei’s spiritual perception was very keen.

She glanced back, her eyes like jade beads emitting a soft glow, brightening the entire maple forest.

“How come I feel like she recognized you?” Tu Fei showed a peculiar expression.

He had learned Ye Fan knew the Heaven and Earth Changing Technique, so he was very surprised.

“Impossible,” Ye Fan said.

“I changed not only my appearance but even my aura.

How could she recognize me?” Yet Weiwei indeed walked over.

She was light and graceful, her blue clothes fluttering, sparkling petals accompanying her.

She seemed like a fairy gliding over water.

Could she really see my true form?!

Ye Fan was somewhat shocked.

Tu Fei said, “In this world, there exists the Nether Eye, which can see through the Netherworld and perceive the Yin Mansion.

Besides that, there are several other Heavenly Eyes.

Among them, the Immortal Spirit Eye can penetrate illusions.

No matter how you disguise yourself, it won’t work; it can see straight to the source.

I reckon this girl likely possesses the Immortal Spirit Eye.

Look at her—pure as an immortal, inherently otherworldly.

This isn’t mere innocence; it’s an immortal spirit aura, matching the descriptions of legendary people with the Immortal Spirit Eye.” “Immortal Spirit Eye…” Ye Fan was amazed.

“Indeed, it must be the Immortal Spirit Eye!” Tu Fei suddenly got excited and said, “Capture her!” “What are you thinking?!” Ye Fan wanted to smack him.

“Don’t you know?

Those born with Heavenly Eyes are favored by the heavens.

She possesses an immortal spirit aura; marrying her would bring significant benefits.” Tu Fei’s voice was almost a dreamy mumble.

“What utter nonsense!

That’s completely absurd.” Ye Fan slapped him, jolting him awake.

“No, it’s absolutely true!

You don’t know this, but the Ji Family’s Void Great Emperor achieved his position as Great Emperor because he married a female divine king.

Many people say so.” Tu Fei looked envious.

The Black Emperor, from within Ye Fan’s sleeve, couldn’t help but rebuke, “Fantasizing!

You think a Great Emperor is made like this?

The ancient Great Emperors relied entirely on their own cultivation!” Tu Fei argued, “Ancient books record that every few generations in the Ji Family, a Divine King Body emerges.

This is because they are descendants of the female divine king; this lineage is indestructible, and there’s solid evidence the Void Great Emperor married a female divine king.” “According to you, did the Jiang Family’s Hengyu Great Emperor also marry a female divine king?” Ye Fan asked with a smile.

“Not exactly,” Tu Fei said.

“It was one of his descendants who married a female divine king.” The Black Emperor sneered coldly.

“What have later generations twisted this into?

Marrying a divine king wasn’t for cultivation, but for the chance that their offspring might occasionally possess divine bodies, which could protect the family.

The Void Great Emperor deeply understood how incredibly difficult it is to achieve the rank of Great Emperor.

Historically, only a few have ever done so.

He wouldn’t have been optimistic enough to believe one family could produce a second Great Emperor; that’s unrealistic.” Tu Fei argued, “Then why do some sovereigns also claim that marrying someone with a divine body or a woman with an immortal spirit aura offers a hope of achieving enlightenment?” “That saying only has a sliver of truth to it.

It’s because those with divine bodies or women with an immortal spirit aura are favored by the heavens and possess Immortal Charm.

Living with them grants a near-immortal feeling and might occasionally lead to some insight.

But as for achieving the rank of Great Emperor?

It’s utterly useless.” “So you mean, it’s still useful for cultivation!” Tu Fei contended.

“Useless, I say!” Weiwei had not yet arrived, but Tu Fei and the big black dog had already started bickering.

SWISH!

Weiwei moved like a flickering light, like a fleeting shadow, arriving nearby.

She was light and graceful, filled with an insightful spiritual aura, beautifully flawless, without a hint of worldly air.

“Fairy, is there something you need?” Ye Fan still didn’t quite believe she had recognized him.

Weiwei’s pearly teeth showed in a slight smile that seemed to brighten the entire maple forest.

She said, “I am here on my master’s command to capture Ye Fan.” Ye Fan understood.

Weiwei had no killing intent; she had indeed recognized him.

“Where is Ye Fan?

I’m also looking for that bastard.

He’s worth one hundred thousand pounds of Source, you know,” Tu Fei feigned ignorance.

“The real Ye Fan is hard to find, but there are plenty of fakes.

Last time, that Daoist Duan was severely beaten.

If he hadn’t produced a Black Iron Token at the critical moment, he would’ve been killed.

Now, the real Ye Fan is worth two hundred thousand pounds of Source.” Weiwei’s lips curled slightly, a hint of playfulness and radiance in her expression.

“Haha…” Tu Fei laughed loudly.

“So the unscrupulous Daoist finally showed his true colors and got recognized?” These days, they had been looting bandits and hadn’t paid attention to the outcome of that particular day.

“The Old Peng King himself appeared.

Even with Daoist Duan’s formidable magical power, he couldn’t escape,” Weiwei chuckled.

Ye Fan felt she was intentionally conveying this information to him.

Indeed.

Weiwei smiled faintly and said, “Great figures from the various Sacred Lands are gathering at Purple Mountain, intending to open the ancient Great Emperor’s treasure hoard.

Meanwhile, the younger generation and some scattered cultivators are all searching for Ye Fan.” “Oh?

And who might be searching for Ye Fan?” Ye Fan didn’t acknowledge their acquaintance, a silent understanding passing between them.

“Many people, all of them extraordinary figures.

Even a Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty from the Central States is searching, hoping to use the Origin Qi Cauldron to forge a Divine Artifact for the Great Xia Dynasty.” The Central States have four Immortal Dynasties, each with a legacy stretching back hundreds of thousands of years.

They have weathered countless calamities without declining, flourishing immensely, and all were founded by ancient Great Emperors.

Ye Fan had once seen a Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

He was wreathed in Emperor’s Dragon Qi, with nine dragons soaring around him—a presence comparable to the Flickering Light Saint Heir.

That dynasty’s ‘Grand Emperor Scripture’ is unparalleled in offensive power, rumored to even rival the Fighting Saint Technique.

“Which Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty?” “He often resides in the Northern Domain Holy City, and beside him is a Flower-picking Girl from Buddhism,” Weiwei said with a smile.

Ye Fan knew it was precisely the Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty he had seen.

And the Flower-picking Girl from Buddhism was undoubtedly the little nun in white he had met before, who was also a princess of Great Xia.

Ye Fan smiled faintly.

He was about to go to the Sacred City; perhaps he would have a stone-gambling battle with this Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty there.

“Currently, the greatest threat to Ye Fan comes from the ten top masters of Flickering Light.” “The ten top masters of Flickering Light?” “Between Anzhou and Kunzhou, ten young masters from Flickering Light are searching for Ye Fan.

Each of them is extremely powerful,” Weiwei casually revealed this news.

“How powerful can they be?” Tu Fei asked.

“They are all disciples trained by the reclusive Elders of Flickering Light.

Those at the Fifth Layer Heaven of the Dao Palace can fight against experts of the Four Extremes secret boundary, and among these ten, four or five are likely already experts of the Four Extremes secret boundary themselves.” “So powerful?!” Tu Fei was shocked.

Dao Palace Fifth Layer Heaven cultivators who could battle those in the Four Extremes, and four or five who were already in the Four Extremes secret boundary themselves—it was truly astonishing.

Ye Fan also frowned, saying, “The younger generation of Flickering Light…

weren’t there only four experts in the Four Extremes secret boundary in total?” “That was news from a year or two ago.

Everyone is progressing, and there will always be astonishing talents who advance.

Besides, the disciples taught by the reclusive Elders are very low-key and rarely show themselves to the world.” “Did these ten masters emerge solely for Ye Fan?” Tu Fei asked.

“The Flickering Light Saint Heir is arguably the foremost among his peers in the Eastern Wastelands.

With him around, no one else in Flickering Light would have other ambitions.

But he was suppressed by Ye Fan, and it’s uncertain if he’ll return alive.

Consequently, some Grand Elders and reclusive Elders naturally want to support their own disciples to rise.

This time, whoever can capture or kill Ye Fan will add significant glory to their name.” “How did the ten top young masters of Flickering Light find their way to this region between Anzhou and Kunzhou?” Ye Fan inquired.

Weiwei smiled faintly.

“Now, everyone knows the sacred body requires a vast amount of Source to advance.

Anyone engaging in large-scale looting of bandits would naturally fall under suspicion.

The ten top young masters of Flickering Light, emerging from the shadows into the open, are all vying for the position of Saint Heir, so they are naturally the most sensitive to such news.” A crowd of heroes chasing the stag…

they’d better be careful, or the stag might just wipe them all out!

Ye Fan muttered.

Weiwei, with her ethereal immortal aura and utmost purity, had clear eyes.

She smiled beautifully, her lips slightly upturned, and said, “Oh, I must go now.

I’m under my master’s orders to capture Ye Fan.” Her demeanor as she was about to leave was somewhat playful.

She turned lightly, her jade feet stepping on crystalline petals, and fluttered away, leaving only a trace of fragrance.

The big black dog impatiently darted out from Ye Fan’s sleeve.

Gazing at the beautiful figure disappearing deep within the maple forest, he said, “This girl is quite extraordinary.

Her immortal spirit aura is intense, and she possesses an indescribable charm.” Tu Fei also nodded.

“Indeed extraordinary.

Does she want to use us to eliminate Flickering Light’s ten top masters?

Is she aiming to become the Female Saint Master?!” Ye Fan said, “Regardless, she has no killing intent towards me.

Both times, in the southern and northern regions, she recognized my true form yet never tried to gain favor from Flickering Light by exposing me.” Tu Fei pondered, then said, “That’s why I say this girl is remarkable.

I think she, like me, believes you can break the curse of the sacred body and break through to the Four Extremes secret boundary.” Ye Fan said, “Since the ten top young masters, taught by the reclusive Elders of Flickering Light, have emerged and come to Anzhou and Kunzhou, I mustn’t disappoint them!

I’ll defeat all of these so-called ten top masters and cause a stir in the Northern Domain, so they won’t all think of me as easy prey.” Tu Fei was immediately shocked.

“What are you doing?

Doing this just to vent your frustration is too irrational!” Ye Fan smiled and shook his head.

“I’m doing this to create a misdirection for the world, to focus their attention on the various oases, while I’m about to enter the Sacred City.” “You intend to go stone gambling with the stockpiles of the various Sacred Lands?” Tu Fei was shocked.

Ye Fan had already told Tu Fei that he had mastered the ‘Heavenly Source Book.’ Given Tu Fei’s considerable help, Ye Fan didn’t want to hide anything from him.

“Correct,” Ye Fan solemnly told Tu Fei.

“This is a prime opportunity.

The great figures from the various Sacred Lands have all gone to Purple Mountain, wanting to open the ancient Great Emperor’s treasure hoard.

I must enter the Sacred City during this time and make big bets on the stone gambles of the various Sacred Lands.

I need your help.

After I enter the Sacred City, you must help me create some diversions in the various oases, making people believe I’m still out there, looting Source everywhere.” Ye Fan had mastered the Heaven and Earth Changing Technique, but for safety’s sake, he felt it was better to make additional preparations.

“This is very easy to do,” Tu Fei laughed.

“Laying false trails…

I guarantee these people will keep searching for you with renewed hope!” “Black Emperor, I’ll also need your help,” Ye Fan said, not waiting for a response.

“Occasionally show yourself in various places, casually carve some Array Patterns, take a couple of turns around, and that’s it.

You know that once I’ve mastered the ‘Heavenly Source Book,’ finding Divine Sources in the future will be no problem at all.

Helping me now is helping yourself.” After everything was discussed, Ye Fan looked into the distance and said, “Before entering the Sacred City for some high-stakes gambling, let’s first deal with these newly emerged ten top masters.

Let the tranquil Northern Domain get a bit more turbulent!”
