Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 395 - 396 Chapter 401 Release Conference

396: Chapter 401: Release Conference 396: Chapter 401: Release Conference The Flickering Light Saint Heir, the Golden-winged Little Peng King, and Yao Xi, all top figures of the younger generation, escaped from the Fire God Furnace, each exuding a murderous aura.

They were trapped in the Sealing God Furnace for several months, in utter darkness, suffering the pain of the divine flame corroding their bones—a torment they had never experienced.

They were all unparalleled geniuses who had never encountered such a situation.

Always surrounded by admirers like stars clustering around the moon, this was the first time in their lives they had been suppressed.

Moreover, it was done by a mere cultivator whose cultivation base was far inferior to theirs.

The thought of this made them burn with rage, and murderous intent filled the air.

“All are stunning talents; their future achievements are unfathomable,” Divine King Jiang nodded lightly.

The Golden-winged Little Peng King had apparently received a transmission and warning from the Old Peng King, but he was inherently wild and unruly.

Holding a Great Wilderness Halberd that could almost crush the void, he pointed it slantingly towards the southern sky and shouted, “Divine King, I am not convinced!” “What are you unconvinced about?” the Divine King asked calmly from his throne.

“Why do you, Elder, protect him like this?

I want to duel him.

If I win, I will spare his life.

Is that acceptable?!” His golden hair flew wildly as the Great Wilderness Halberd suddenly sank, pointing towards Ye Fan.

Boundless killing intent surged out like a stormy sea.

The Golden-winged Little Peng King’s wild nature was difficult to tame.

Daring to speak so boldly before the unrivaled Divine King caused many senior figures to nod secretly, acknowledging him as someone remarkably prominent.

The Divine King didn’t show any displeasure, instead revealing some admiration, saying, “You can duel him.

As long as he breaks into the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, anyone from the younger generation can face him in a life-and-death duel.” With the Divine King’s words, there was an uproar among the people.

Could the Ancient Desolation Sacred Body really break into the Four Extremes Secret Boundary?

Yet no one dared to refute him.

The Golden-winged Little Peng King’s golden pupils glinted with killing intent.

Staring at Ye Fan, he wanted to say more, but at this moment, the Old Peng King acted, extending a golden bird claw that instantly covered the heavens and grabbed him.

With the unrivaled Divine King present, who would dare be disrespectful?

If one were too reckless and provoked the Divine King, no one could save them.

The Flickering Light Saint Heir descended like the Taiyang God, even his hair strands dyed with golden rays, his demeanor and divine bearing extraordinarily outstanding, truly like a deity walking the mortal world!

“Good.

I look forward to Brother Ye entering the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, breaking the ancient curse, and letting the Ancient Desolation Sacred Body shine once again.” He spoke with a calm and peaceful demeanor, surrounded by 108 divine rings, almost resembling a god.

The Flickering Light Saint Heir calmly returned behind the Flickering Light Sacred Master.

People were astonished to discover that the number of his divine rings was exactly the same as that of the Flickering Light Sacred Master, though not yet as brilliant.

Yao Xi, an immortal beauty with a face capable of toppling kingdoms, had a divine, flame-like mark flickering on her brow.

This shocked the senior figures, and all revealed expressions of surprise.

She also retreated to the side, as if walking in Guanghan Palace, her clothes immaculate, pure and extraordinary.

Her phoenix eyes swept emotionlessly over Ye Fan, and she said nothing.

As long as Ye Fan enters the Four Extremes Secret Boundary, he will inevitably face the three most terrifying top figures of the younger generation.

An earth-shattering battle is sure to occur in the near future!

Divine King Jiang spoke, “To be precise, all three of you have turned misfortune into fortune, gaining a sliver of the Great Emperor’s insights in the Fire God Furnace.” At these words, everyone was shocked.

The grand hall fell silent; all were stunned.

The Great Emperor’s insight was invaluable in the world!

“Is this true?” Some senior figures’ voices were already trembling.

The Great Emperor’s insight is something cultivators dream of; it is a bright road that can lead to the pinnacle of Extreme Dao, a supreme spiritual imprint that can guide one to sainthood.

“Only a sliver, but it’s enough for them to comprehend,” Divine King Jiang stated.

“What exactly is the origin of the Fire God Furnace?” Everyone was incredibly curious, eager to know.

“It was a weapon used by Hengyu the Great Emperor in his early years.

Though not an Extreme Dao Holy Weapon, it is imbued with the Great Emperor’s Dao Glyphs,” Divine King Jiang revealed.

Everyone was stupefied.

The Fire God Furnace was actually a weapon used by an ancient Great Emperor, one that had accompanied his growth.

This was truly beyond everyone’s expectations!

Ye Fan was also very surprised, finally understanding why this furnace was always indestructible; it contained Emperor Glyphs within, possessing unimaginable power.

If unleashed, it could destroy the heavens and earth.

The Jiang Family’s supreme Holy Furnace was made in reference to this furnace.

Hengyu the Great Emperor collected Phoenix Blood Red Gold, then ventured deeply into Taichu Falling Sun Ridge, painstakingly forging the ultimate holy divine relics.

Tracing its origins, the predecessor of the Holy Furnace was the Fire God Furnace.

“All grudges have been resolved,” said Divine King Jiang, then casually asked, “Could there be anyone else?” “This…” Ye Fan hesitated.

“It’s alright.

Regardless of who else there might be, release them all.

I’ll resolve it for you,” Divine King Jiang said.

Ye Fan firmly believed that no secret could be kept forever, especially from those at the Saint Master Level.

They all possessed Heaven-defying Secret Techniques, capable of tracing the truth through special means.

After some thought, he decided to use this opportunity to shed all his burdens and let the Divine King handle everything, to avoid future catastrophe should the truth be revealed.

SWOOSH!

With a flash of light, a golden ancient pagoda appeared, suspended in the void, shining brightly.

In the distance, Xu Tianxiong, the third great bandit of the Northern Region, was somewhat stunned.

He hadn’t expected this to involve his grandson; he had personally forged this pagoda and couldn’t possibly mistake it.

Xu Yuan had originally been suppressed by Tu Fei, and Ye Fan had given the ancient pagoda to the Black Emperor.

However, Ye Fan later felt it was inappropriate, fearing it would implicate Tu Fei, so he had retrieved both.

Xu Tianxiong strode forward.

Even the Sacred Masters were somewhat apprehensive of him.

His ranking was even higher than the Green Flood Dragon King; his strength was immeasurable.

SWOOSH!

With a flash of light, Xu Yuan was released, seeing the light of day again.

Upon seeing Xu Tianxiong, he immediately shouted and pointed at Ye Fan in the distance.

SLAP!

Xu Tianxiong slapped him.

After searching his grandson’s Sea of Consciousness, he instantly understood everything; it was entirely Xu Yuan’s own fault.

“Grandfather…” Xu Yuan shouted.

Nearby, Xu Heng, the foremost expert among the descendants of the thirteen great bandits, stepped forward and pulled his brother away, not giving him a chance to speak further.

Divine King Jiang showed no reaction to this.

He understood worldly affairs and knew there was no need to resolve anything, certain the Xu family was in the wrong.

He asked Ye Fan, “Are there others still sealed?” Ye Fan was somewhat embarrassed, opening his mouth as if trying to say something.

Many wanted to laugh.

Seeing his expression, there clearly had to be more.

Just how many people has this youngster sealed exactly?

Divine King Jiang was also a bit surprised.

“No problem, release them.” Ye Fan didn’t say much.

This time, he unhesitatingly released Li Rui, the Flickering Light’s candidate Saint Heir, and quickly stepped back.

“Ye Fan…” Li Rui shouted, not understanding the current situation, and tried to rush forward desperately.

The Flickering Light Sacred Master coldly snorted, extending a large hand, grabbing him and sealing him directly.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Fan had not only suppressed the Flickering Light Saint Heir and Flickering Light Sacred Lady but had also captured the candidate Saint Heir.

He was truly ruthless, taking them all in one fell swoop.

The expressions of everyone from the Flickering Light Sacred Land were grim.

This was truly not a glorious matter; Ye Fan had almost become the public enemy of Flickering Light’s younger generation.

“Is there still more?” Divine King Jiang asked casually, not really expecting there to be.

Ye Fan nodded awkwardly, even feeling a bit embarrassed himself.

The others suddenly had the urge to spit out their drinks.

There really is more?

Just how many people has this kid sealed?

Many people’s mouths twitched.

Divine King Jiang was almost speechless and involuntarily glanced at Ye Fan, feeling extremely surprised.

In the distance, An Miaoyi covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes sparkling.

She was truly enchanting and charming, capable of causing the downfall of a nation with a smile.

The white-robed little nun blinked her large eyes, looking at Ye Fan oddly.

The small golden creature on her shoulder behaved very human-like, roaring with laughter as it teased Ye Fan.

“Brother Gu, he…” the Prince of Great Xia shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Yao Yuekong laughed and said, “He should be called Junior Brother Ye.” This time, Ye Fan released over a dozen women, all shrouded in purple mist, emitting a purple glow, very clearly from one Sacred Land—the Purple Mansion.

“Finally done,” Divine King Jiang muttered to himself, his words tinged with helplessness.

He didn’t understand how Ye Fan had managed to suppress so many people.

“I beg the Divine King’s forgiveness… there’s more.” Ye Fan looked up at the Divine King with some guilt.

“Still more?!” Divine King Jiang was almost amused by his exasperation.

The others couldn’t hold back any longer; many of them burst out laughing.

All the Saint Heirs and Sacred Ladies revealed peculiar expressions.

This scoundrel is just too much.

How many people has he actually sealed?

“This guy is too wicked, carrying so many suppressed people around!” Ji Ziyue’s large eyes curved into crescent moons.

Then she shook Ji Haoyue’s arm, saying, “Good thing my brother isn’t among them.” Ji Haoyue was quite speechless, glaring at his sister.

This time, Ye Fan took out a violet-gold gourd, and the moment he opened its mouth, Jiang Yichen fell out, looking rather embarrassed.

Even a descendant of the Divine King was suppressed!

The people of the Jiang Family were speechless.

Many cultivators wanted to laugh out loud but restrained themselves.

Jiang Yichen was unaware of the situation.

As soon as he came out and saw many elders present, he was about to turn hostile towards Ye Fan.

Jiang Yifei hurriedly came forward and dragged him out of the crowd, fearing that the Divine King’s wrath might lead to the death of such a descendant.

Divine King Jiang stared at Ye Fan, thoroughly amused now, as he noticed Ye Fan’s hesitant expression, saying, “Do you want to tell me there are still more?” “It’s definitely the last one!” Ye Fan was almost sweating, realizing for the first time that suppressing so many people was also exhausting for him.

Everyone was speechless but couldn’t help laughing, all eyes fixed on him.

The Saint Heirs and Sacred Ladies glanced at each other.

This scoundrel seems naturally opposed to the Sacred Lands, always sealing Saint Heirs or Sacred Ladies.

Who could it be this time?

Ye Fan took out a scroll painting from the Vajra and unfurled it into the void.

Inside, a girl in purple clothes appeared, ethereal and hazy, as if she were about to ascend as an immortal.

When the Mountain and River Map was unfurled, many people exclaimed.

All the Saint Heirs and Sacred Ladies were shocked; this was a divine object left behind by the previous Sacred Master of the Purple Mansion, possessing unparalleled power.

“He actually forced the Purple Mist Fairy into the Mountain and River Map!” “The Purple Mansion Sacred Lady is an Innate Dao Embryo, standing at the pinnacle of the younger generation’s top experts, and even she has been sealed!” “Once an Innate Dao Embryo becomes a Sacred Master, she will merge her body with the Dao.

No matter how powerful your magical power, you can only be suppressed.

The further she progresses, the more invincible she becomes.” … SWOOSH!

The Purple Mansion Sacred Lady flew out.

Her breathtaking beauty flashed for an instant before being enveloped by purple mist once again.

She was like an immortal treading on waves, every movement carrying a Dao rhythm.

This was the Innate Dao Embryo.

Even ordinarily, she was almost in the wondrous state of Heaven and Man Together, every gesture containing the divine rhythm of the Great Dao.

“What a pity.

The Innate Holy Body Daoist Embryo hasn’t been born yet, and she’s already out…” Li Heishui grumbled from a corner.

Many people were petrified on the spot.

Give birth to an Innate Holy Body Daoist Embryo?

This is truly shocking news!

Li Heishui, you bastard, are you trying to get me killed?!

Ye Fan cursed in his heart, then hurriedly explained, “It hasn’t been born yet!

No, that’s not true!

Wrong, I have no such intention!” The more he tried to explain, the more muddled it became.

Beside him, the Purple Mansion Sacred Master’s face instantly darkened.

The Innate Dao Embryo was the future prodigy of the Eastern Wastelands, and he certainly didn’t want anything to happen between her and the Sacred Body.

Behind him, the Purple Mansion Saint Heir’s expression was even grimmer.

He had been overshadowed by the Sacred Lady since childhood, his cultivation base no match for hers.

Hearing such news now naturally filled him with rage.

The Purple Mansion Sacred Lady had a tranquil nature, with an aura of detachment, but at this moment, she was somewhat vexed, saying, “What nonsense are you spouting!” In the grand hall, those present looked at each other, many of them showing smiles.

“Actually, such a marriage alliance could be considered.

Perhaps it could really produce the most powerful physique,” Divine King Jiang suddenly spoke.

“This is…” All the Sacred Masters were shocked internally.

“If I’m not mistaken, the Wushi Great Emperor might have been an Innate Holy Body Daoist Embryo,” Divine King Jiang said.

Everyone present was greatly surprised.

Who in this world could understand the Wushi Great Emperor better than the unrivaled Divine King?

He had been trapped in the Purple Mountain for 4,000 years and must have learned many secrets.

He had very possibly acquired the Wushi Great Emperor’s imprints and inheritance.

Everyone was eager to learn the secrets of the Emperor in Purple Mountain.

However, no one dared to ask at present, as the thirteen Saint Master Level figures, three peerless old monsters, and the Dark Night King served as cautionary tales.

Divine King Jiang stared at Ye Fan, saying, “Do you want to follow the path of the Wushi Great Emperor?

Enemies everywhere, defeating all Kings, suppressing all physiques, fighting all the way to the Sage realm, and breaking into the Great Emperor Realm…” The crowd was shaken.

Was this how the Wushi Great Emperor fought his way to the Great Emperor Realm?

The Divine King had mentioned the Emperor’s secrets again.

Ye Fan had greatly offended all the Sacred Lands, and there were bound to be enormous battles with the Saint Heirs and Sacred Ladies in the future.

Even the unrivaled Divine King couldn’t protect him forever.

In fact, Ye Fan was also speculating how long the Divine King could live.

He always felt something was amiss; the White-clothed Divine King’s solo battle against unparalleled powerhouses was indeed too formidable, always giving the impression of a beautiful sunset, glorious but nearing its end.

“In the Post-Huanggu Era, this heaven and earth have changed.

The Sacred Body has fallen into decline and no longer possesses the supreme grace of yesteryear.” Divine King Jiang gazed at Ye Fan, saying, “I will give you 10,000,000 jin of Source to help you break into the Four Extremes Secret Boundary.

Ultimately, whether you can break these shackles and how far you can go will depend on yourself.” These words sparked a clamor among the crowd, who were extremely shocked.

The unrivaled Divine King is going to act?

Does he want to create a miracle?!

Some even speculated that perhaps he really didn’t have much time left and would make a series of major moves soon.

“Standing in the Dao Palace, gazing at the Four Extremes, I loudly proclaim: Brothers and sisters, I miss you all dearly!

Toss me some monthly tickets; I want to enter the Four Extremes!” Ye Fan shouted, loudly requesting support.

I haven’t asked for tickets for days, and the competition behind is fierce; they’re catching up quickly!

Please, brothers and sisters, lend me your support with votes.
