Chapter 319 - 320 After modification Chapter 325 Peerless Beauty

320: After modification: Chapter 325 Peerless Beauty 320: After modification: Chapter 325 Peerless Beauty “Heavenly Demon Palace and the Golden Family…” Ye Fan had heard about them before.

Before coming to the Sacred City, he had even seen people from the Golden Family of the Northern Plains, galloping through the sky, stepping over the heads of men.

“They are all super-powerful forces, on par with the Sacred Lands,” Li Heishui whispered with a smile.

“Tonight, let’s just sit back and watch the spectacle unfold.” “Over there is also a Dragon Ship, much larger than ours.

It seems to be the Prince of Great Xia,” Ye Fan looked to the other side.

“That’s right.

That ethereal little nun has come as well.

Quite interesting, siblings coming to such a place together,” Li Heishui laughed.

In the distance, the Great Xia Prince, with flowing black hair, looked impressive and vigorous.

His Divine Iron Armor was dazzling, and nine streams of Dragon Qi swirled around him.

He was like the Heavenly Emperor descending to the mortal world, extraordinarily mighty.

Beside him was the innocent little nun, her big eyes darting around curiously as she surveyed everything, looking very pure.

Ye Fan was taken aback.

He’s here too…

On the shore, a golden divine Tiger Dragon, brilliant all over as if a divine flame was burning, had a white-clad man sitting serenely atop it.

His demeanor was like jade, with a hint of gentility intertwined with charisma.

Some people, even when standing amid a vast crowd, cannot help but stand out, as though they are heaven’s favored children, drawing attention no matter what.

Jiang Yifei…

This was a member of the Jiang Family, who had once taken Little Tingting and the old man away from the Southern Region, bringing them back to the Jiang Family.

Ye Fan’s impression of him was exceedingly profound; he had even once suspected that the divine body of the Jiang Family might be him.

“Is Little Tingting okay?

How about the old man?” Ye Fan murmured to himself.

Time passed swiftly; four years had flown by, and he wondered how the grandfather and granddaughter were now.

Ye Fan hadn’t spent much time with them, but it was with them he had first felt a sense of home in this world.

That brief period had been very warm.

The golden divine Tiger Dragon approached under the moonlight, its hooves stepping gracefully on the lake’s surface.

It was dazzling all over.

Jiang Yifei’s white garments outshone the snow; the pair, man and Tiger Dragon, were exceptionally eye-catching, like deities descending to the mortal realm.

“Such a person is obviously extraordinary,” even Li Heishui couldn’t help but praise.

“Do you know who the divine body of the Jiang Family is?” “Very mysterious.

No one knows,” Li Heishui shook his head.

“Perhaps it’s him,” Ye Fan said.

“No way!?” Li Heishui was startled.

Before long, Ye Fan and his companions arrived at the deepest part of the lake.

Thin mist swirled around, a holy aura permeated the air, and the lake water shimmered like a heavenly sea.

“There are quite a few formidable figures here,” Li Heishui looked toward another location.

There, a large ship glistened with dark light.

Upon it stood a man dressed entirely in black, quite aloof, with an air of keeping people at a distance.

“This is Xu Heng, grandson of the third great bandit Xu Tianxiong—the foremost expert among the great bandit’s descendants, peerless in combat, and a top master of the younger generation in the Eastern Wastelands.” “So he is Xu Heng?” Ye Fan examined him closely.

Xu Heng’s skin was glistening white, remarkably distinct, like frost or cold snow, yet without any hint of femininity.

His sharpness was hidden within, like a divine sword sheathed.

“You and Tu Fei were quite bold to have suppressed his younger brother.

Be careful not to let him find out.” All the ships stopped in the depths of the large lake because the Phoenix Ship, adorned with flowers, was right ahead.

In mid-air, the Heaven Temple was brilliant, towering and awe-inspiring, giving an unreal sensation.

Immortal music sounded as if descending from the Nine Heavens.

Nine women danced gracefully under the night moon, like heavenly fairies arriving in the mortal realm, their dance enchanting and mesmerizing.

Even Ye Fan couldn’t help but sigh; beautiful women among cultivators, upon entering the Red Dust, indeed exuded endless charm.

Mortal women, no matter how beautiful, could not float in the air with such immortal grace.

For many, these were the fairies of their dreams.

Suddenly, someone arrived, riding on the Divine Light of a Holy Sword, illuminating Miao Yu Lake instantly.

It was a man in yellow clothes, valiant and possessing great charisma.

“The Saint Heir of the Dayan Sacred Land—Xiang Yifei.” Ye Fan was amazed.

Why have all these people come without any concealment?

“Something’s off,” Li Heishui also sensed something unusual.

“The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the heir of the Golden Family, the Prince of Great Xia, the Jiang Family’s prominent figure, Xiang Yifei of the Dayan Sacred Land—the forces backing them are all colossal powers.

They shouldn’t be acting this way; they should be concealing their identities.” Ye Fan nodded.

“Indeed.

After all, the Miao Yu Temple doesn’t have a good reputation.

Why would these people come in such a high-profile manner?

There must be reasons we don’t know.” The two speculated that there must be something special afoot; otherwise, even if they came for such pleasures, they would consider their reputation and not reveal their true identities.

Suddenly, the music in the sky stopped, and silence descended abruptly.

Ahead, An Miaoyi, clad in white, danced in the wind, standing with a transcendental aura as if ready to soar away.

“Once I worried that too many pleasures would hinder my Daoist practice; yet, seeking seclusion in the mountains, I feared disappointing my master.

How can the world provide a perfect solution, to be true to the Great Dao and true to you?” The Heavenly Sound drifted in the night sky.

An Miaoyi’s dark hair waved, ethereal and extraordinary, demonstrating inner divine elegance, innate jade-like bones, and unmatched immortal grace.

Everyone was stunned.

‘Miao’ must refer to the myriad wonders of Miao Yu, ‘Wuming’ (the Nameless) clearly refers to the Great Dao, and ‘Qing’ (you) is a respectful address to a person.

The meaning of these lines was evident.

“How can the world offer a perfect solution?” An Miaoyi’s voice stirred hearts, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everyone.

She had unexpectedly spoken such words, leaving everyone surprised.

Could she be intending to leave the Miao Yu Temple, to retreat to the mountains in seclusion, to escape the mire of the Miao Yu Temple?

Many Jade Boats were on the lake, and everyone was shaken; indeed, the Eastern Wasteland’s most beautiful woman was extraordinary.

“Fairy An, I understand your hardship!

I am willing to retreat into the mountains and forests with you!” someone immediately shouted.

SPLASH!

Unfortunately, this upstart was looked down upon and knocked into the lake by others.

“Fairy An, you are so pure and ethereal, akin to the Divine Moon in the sky!

Once you leave the Miao Yu Temple and escape this quagmire, I am willing to accompany you!” This person, although not explicitly suggesting a shared seclusion, nearly implied the same.

His meaning was quite straightforward, and as a result, he too was pushed into the water.

“You are a beauty of this age and should stay away from Miao Yu.

I wish to journey to the Central States with you, Fairy An!” SPLASH!

Another upstart was knocked into the lake, drenched.

The others dared not speak up, fearing they might become public enemies.

“Difficult, difficult, difficult.

Enough.

Tonight, let’s just discuss the Dao and its doctrines,” An Miaoyi’s voice was very melodious, as if it came from the Nine Heavens above.

“What does she mean?

Does she truly wish to become a divine and pure fairy, unwilling to be sullied in Miao Yu?” Even Li Heishui showed a surprised expression.

An Miaoyi wanted to select some people to discuss the Dao and its doctrines throughout the night, but also didn’t want to dishearten others, so she decided to play the zither and dance lightly under the moonlight instead.

Her snow-white long skirt fluttered as she ascended into the sky.

A giant, bright moon appeared behind her, casting her silhouette within it.

The bright Divine Moon, with a diameter of three meters, highlighted her holiness, truly making her seem like the Cold Fairy gracing the world.

Her dance swayed the heavenly winds, her beauty peerless.

Not far away, a Jade Zither floated in the air, sparkling with crystals.

An Miaoyi, with her icy skin and jade-like bones, danced within that Divine Moon, gracefully enchanting, like a Nine Heavens Profound Lady descending to the world.

Her delicate hands played lightly, sending out points of Divine Light that struck the distant zither strings, producing immortal music from the Nine Heavens.

She danced while emitting Immortal Light, which landed on the Jade Zither.

An Miaoyi’s dance was unparalleled, making one believe a Goddess had descended, and the music was even considered immortal music, making listeners uncontrollably moved.

She danced within the Divine Moon, playing such immortal sounds remotely, astonishing everyone and entrancing all minds.

Suddenly, birds flew across the night sky, each carrying crystalline petals, and danced around her.

Below, everyone was stunned.

A Flower Rain drifted down, fragrant, as numerous birds danced with her.

It was truly incredible, surprising, and even more entrancing.

An Miaoyi began to sing.

Her melodious voice moved in all directions, even causing the fish in the lake to leap out of the water, dancing to her rhythm.

Her threefold excellence in song, dance, and zither left even Ye Fan amazed.

This flawless woman, known as the most beautiful in the Eastern Wastelands, was truly astonishing.

All aspects of her performance neared the Dao, showcasing an unparalleled beauty.

Within the Divine Moon, petals shimmered like rain.

She danced gracefully, zither music resounded, birds harmonized, and fish emerged from the water, all forming a wondrous scene.

The zither quieted, the dance ceased, the song faded, leaving the world in tranquility.

An Miaoyi stood alone.

After a long while, many awoke as if from a dream, everyone utterly astounded.

“Miao Yi wishes to discuss the Dao and its doctrines with everyone.” An Miaoyi, like a spirit under the night moon, floated upwards lightly, entering the ethereal pavilions where palace towers sprawled.

She disappeared into a jade pavilion.

Many awoke from their daze, scrambling towards the sky, all wishing to meet her up close.

“Oh no, this woman has moved my heart.

She truly has a special kind of charm,” Li Heishui said.

“Brother Black, are you falling for her so quickly?” Ye Fan laughed.

“I’m telling you, little kid Ye, at your young age, don’t act like you’ve seen through the world, as if you’re the only one clear-headed while everyone else is deluded.

When young men face such a woman, they should be captivated; otherwise, it’s not normal.” Ye Fan showed a faint smile and said, “Alright then, let’s discuss this.

Whether she really wants to leave the Miao Yu Temple to become the purest fairy in the Eastern Wastelands, or is deliberately captivating hearts, we should find a way to take her away.

How about it?” Li Heishui shot him a glance, patted him, and said, “Let’s go!

Brother Black is going to win this beauty!” In the night sky, ethereal palaces flowed with brilliance like celestial abodes.

Ascending to them made one feel as if in a dream.

An Miaoyi had already entered.

Outside this Jade Palace stood many people, all blocked by an Immortal Light, with few able to follow through.

“This is the Enlightenment Immortal Gate.

If one cannot comprehend a certain Dao Seal, one can’t get through.

Cultivators below the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, except for a few individuals, will definitely be blocked,” Li Heishui said in surprise.

The Prince of Great Xia walked with dragon-like strides, Dragon Qi soaring around him to the sky.

His Divine Iron Armor shone like the Heavenly Emperor descending.

The Enlightenment Immortal Gate could not stop him; it automatically parted, and he led the white-robed young nun inside with great strides.

WHOOSH!

With a flash of light, the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, his Purple Clothes fluttering and eyes deep, calmly entered.

Following him, Xiang Yifei, the Saint Heir of the Dayan Sacred Land, appeared riding a Holy Sword.

He flashed in, leaving only a trail of Holy Light.

In the distant sky, a golden divine Tiger Dragon stepped on the moon.

Upon it was a man in white garments that outshone the snow.

He leaped into the air with an elegant and unworldly presence.

Jiang Yifei also stepped into the Immortal Gate.

Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

This person is indeed extraordinary.

He suspected even more strongly that he might be the Jiang Family’s divine body.

Why are these people revealing their true identities after all?

He pondered this question once more.

“Brother Black, it’s all on you.

I can’t use divine energy.

I suspect that person might truly be the Jiang Family’s divine body and could sense my existence.” “Alright, I’ll do it!” Li Heishui stepped forward.

A Dao Seal burst forth from him, and the Enlightenment Immortal Gate opened automatically.

He and Ye Fan calmly went inside.

Those who could enter the Jade Palace totaled more than a dozen.

Undeniably, they were all top young powerhouses, all having reached the Four Extremes Secret Boundary.

Ye Fan looked around and could recognize half the people, all of whom had significant backgrounds.

The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Golden Family’s heir, Xu Heng, Dayan’s Xiang Yifei, the Wanchu Saint Heir, Jiang Yifei, the Great Xia Prince, the white-robed young nun…

Those who had arrived earlier had already begun discussing.

Ye Fan and Li Heishui found a place and sat down.

“Miao Yi has heard that the combat power of the sacred body of Ancient Desolation is unparalleled in the same realm.

Do any of you know the details?” An Miaoyi asked gently, her eyes bright and expressive, devoid of the Miao Yu Temple’s enchanting allure.
