Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 401 - 402 Chapter 407 Breakthrough Under the Full Moon

402: Chapter 407: Breakthrough Under the Full Moon 402: Chapter 407: Breakthrough Under the Full Moon The moonlight, like water, cascaded down—soft, hazy, peaceful, and tranquil.

In the heavenly watchtowers, all had quieted down.

On the White Jade Bed, An Miaoyi’s starry eyes opened wide.

Her beautiful body was stretched out, glistening and crystal clear; her hair was scattered, and she appeared weak and powerless.

“You should leave.” She extended a lotus-like arm, snow-white and tender, lazily waking the person beside her.

Ye Fan was very calm, yet his heart rippled.

He still smiled, his white teeth gleaming, looking quite brilliant.

“Why are you in such a hurry to send me away?” “If people find out you spent the night at Miao Yu Temple, will the Wind Clan agree?

They’ll probably make trouble for you.

The Phoenix is not an ordinary woman; how could she tolerate it?” An Miaoyi’s voice was very quiet and pleasant, yet calm and unruffled.

Her beauty was almost ethereal, pure and unworldly, like a fairy fallen to earth.

She had skin as cold as jade, and a body snow-white and smooth, glistening with radiance.

“The Wind Clan…

they haven’t betrothed me to anyone from their clan yet.

If I fail this breakthrough, they would discard me like worthless shoes,” Ye Fan said self-mockingly.

An Miaoyi gently massaged his temples, saying, “I believe you can succeed.

Someday, you’ll again show the supreme grace of the Great Success sacred body.” “The affairs of the world are unpredictable.

Now everyone is watching.

Many cultivators are waiting, focusing their attention from all directions, while I am likely to fail,” Ye Fan spoke nonchalantly, as if discussing something unrelated to him.

“If I make a quiet exit, I wonder what those who wooed me, befriended me, and invited me would think?

I suppose all affection would turn to cold indifference.” Ye Fan twirled a strand of her dark, shiny hair around his fingertip.

“Do you really have no confidence?” An Miaoyi quietly looked at him, her beautiful eyes as deep as the Starry Sky, her face extraordinarily beautiful, breathtaking.

“Relying on Source alone, I most likely won’t enter the Four Extremes secret boundary,” Ye Fan calmly stated.

He then turned to look at her, smiling as he spoke, “If I fail, what will you do?” “Go now, little man.

Don’t overthink it; you should leave.” An Miaoyi didn’t answer, her delightful body glimmering with radiance as she gently pushed Ye Fan to get up.

“Why do I feel like this is reversed?

You’re so carefree, constantly trying to make me leave, not caring at all,” Ye Fan laughed.

“Once possessed, why care for eternity?

If you become a Great Success sacred body in the future, it’s enough for you to be my protector.” “You see things so clearly.” Ye Fan lightly twirled her hair with his fingers.

“Don’t think it’s easy.

By then, you might face the enmity of the entire world,” An Miaoyi laughed softly.

“That serious?” Ye Fan was surprised, then earnestly gazed at her peerless face, saying, “What if I really fail this breakthrough?” An Miaoyi’s eyes flashed with astonishing brilliance.

“If that’s the case,” she said, “I’ll fall into the vast Red Dust, until someday I become a Great Emperor.

Then, I’ll annihilate everyone related to me, washing away all the honor and disgrace of my life.” “That’s not necessary, is it?” Ye Fan stared at her, stunned.

An Miaoyi laughed softly, caressing his cheek.

“So, little man,” she said, “for Miao Yi’s sake, you have to succeed in this breakthrough.

You wouldn’t bear to see me fall into the Red Dust, right?” “Then you must have faith in me.

If I don’t succeed on the night of the full moon, there will still be a chance…” Ye Fan hinted.

An Miaoyi shook her head, her beautiful eyes hazy, her sexy red lips vibrant.

She raised a jade-like finger, placing it on his lips, not letting him continue.

“Youth is fleeting, beauty easily fades,” she said.

“Miao Yi truly cannot wait.” Then, her full head of dark hair fell over Ye Fan’s face.

Looking down at him, she smiled sweetly and said, “Little man can only succeed, not fail.

Otherwise, Miao Yi will be the first to kill you, oh.” “If I fail, you’ll kill me?” Ye Fan wrapped his arms around her slender, smooth waist, staring at her.

“Yes.

Don’t let Miao Yi down, oh.” Her smile was sweet, her body crystal clear under the moonlight, its lines perfect and flawless.

“Then I’d better kill you first.” Ye Fan pulled her into his embrace, then flipped over, covering her perfect, ivory-like, snow-white, crystalline body.

“Little man…

get up…

you should leave,” An Miaoyi pushed back.

On the White Jade Bed, an endless romance unfolded with melodious moans and infinite tenderness.

「At dawn」 Ye Fan left, walking the ancient streets of the divine city.

He contemplated, considering all possibilities, then gazed toward the distant horizon.

If he failed, would crowds still flock to his gate?

Would anyone still eagerly woo him?

A moment of glory fading would surely be met with boundless coldness and indifference.

Ye Fan did not return to his residence but instead wandered through the divine city.

He only returned at noon when the divine king summoned him.

“The world’s attention on you is a curse, not a blessing!” This was the White-clothed Divine King’s greeting and warning.

Ye Fan was stunned, then nodded.

He had already thought through the various implications and had been worried.

Attracting the world’s attention might indeed lead to a calamity.

Many wouldn’t want a Great Success sacred body to appear in the world.

If there were any signs of one, strangling it in the cradle would be the best choice.

The day of a successful breakthrough might indeed be the time of death and bloodshed.

The peerless divine king was strong, yet he couldn’t protect him forever; he himself likely didn’t have long to live.

“Divine King, do you have any advice?” Ye Fan asked.

“Now, the whole world knows you are a sacred body.

You can delay for a moment, but not forever.

Tonight is the full moon; I will hold the Hengyu Holy Furnace to protect you,” the divine king frowned.

Things had reached this point; avoiding it was no longer possible.

Not attempting the breakthrough today wouldn’t change anything if he tried another day.

The divine king murmured to himself, then looked at Ye Fan, “Is facing the enmity of the world the fate of one who walks the path to becoming a Great Emperor?

Unless you fail this breakthrough, this world will not be peaceful.” 「When the red sun began to set」 The entire divine city became somewhat oppressive.

Too many experts from the Central States and Eastern Wastelands had come, all silently waiting for the full moon to rise.

“The Daoist of Scarlet Dragon has returned!” Many were astonished.

The news spread immediately.

People found that his companions were the renowned Peacock King and the Northern Region’s fourth great bandit, the Green Flood Dragon King.

The three pinnacle experts entered the city together, sending seven hundred thousand catties of Source to Ye Fan.

This shocked everyone, as they hadn’t expected them to treat Ye Fan with such care.

At dusk, Yao Yuekong, the Young Master of Heavenly Demon Palace, sent Ye Fan fifty thousand catties of Source.

Shortly after, Prince Xia Yiming of Great Xia appeared, similarly sending fifty thousand catties of Source.

When the evening glow disappeared, many youths from major forces sent varying amounts of Source.

Beside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Divine Light soared and Spiritual Qi filled the air.

Night descended, and the world gradually darkened.

A Divine Moon appeared, not yet very bright, casting a soft light.

The atmosphere in the divine city was oppressive to the extreme, making one feel breathless.

It was utterly silent.

After nightfall, the entire giant city became quiet.

This world seemed to have lost its voice.

There were no gusts of wind or rustling of grass.

It was like a dead city, without a sense of vitality, and no conversations could be heard.

The silence was like death itself.

All the cultivators were waiting in anticipation around the Dragon Transformation Pool, a dense crowd of shadows stretching endlessly.

Above in the sky, shadows were even more indistinct.

The most advantageous positions were reserved for the powerful figures; no one dared to contest them.

Time flowed by.

The Divine Moon hung high, like a divine disc set upon the firmament, rendering the entire Ancient City radiant, as if white mist were rising.

“He’s here!

He’s appeared!” exclaimed someone unknown, and everyone gazed in one direction.

Ye Fan arrived, treading on moonlight.

This night, he was clothed in white, looking ethereal and graceful, his steps unhurried as he walked through the void.

His black hair danced lightly in the night breeze.

His clear eyes were as limpid as a mountain spring.

He was like an exiled Immortal arriving in the world, enveloped by moonlight, in immaculate white attire, descending before the Dragon Transformation Pool.

“Is this the sacred body?

He’s just a teenager, probably fifteen or sixteen years old.” “Setting aside his physique, entering the Four Extremes secret boundary at this age would be considered an exceptional talent.” “Such an elegant young man, his physical body comparable to a wild dragon?

I can’t see it.” …

Many were seeing Ye Fan for the first time, full of curiosity about the sacred body, whispering among themselves.

The oppressive atmosphere of the divine city finally eased, no longer suffocating.

At last, conversations began and various voices emerged, breaking the dead silence.

“Where is the divine king?

Why hasn’t he appeared?” The peerless divine king did not appear.

Unable to witness his supreme style, many cultivators were uncertain and scanned their surroundings.

“No need to search.

The sacred body’s breakthrough will not be peaceful.

The White-clothed Divine King is likely hidden, ready to act at any time,” someone speculated.

In front of the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ye Fan stood alone, his white attire fluttering, as if about to ascend as an Immortal, appearing otherworldly under the moonlight.

In the Dragon Transformation Pool, Divine Sources and Exotic Sources radiated light that soared to the sky, almost turning the pool into an Immortal Pool.

The Spiritual Qi was so rich it almost seemed to form into flowing liquid.

If the pool had not been sealed, the Divine Radiance here would have pierced the sky, and the moon and stars would have been dimmed.

Suddenly, three figures advanced, encircling the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The elegant Peacock King, the sturdy Green Flood Dragon King, and the energetic Daoist of Scarlet Dragon stood at three corners, evidently to guard Ye Fan.

Subsequently, members of the Wind Clan appeared.

Four elders surrounded the Immortal Pool from the east, south, west, and north, to guard his breakthrough.

Ye Fan raised his head to gaze at the Divine Moon, his elegant face calm.

Then he scanned everyone, aware that these people had come from all over the world, observing his every move.

He saw the Flickering Light Saint Heir, cloaked in Holy Light.

He also saw the arrogant Golden-Winged Young Peng King and the proud Xia Jiuyou.

These beings were destined to be his formidable rivals.

Even before entering the Four Extremes secret boundary, he had foreseen the future, witnessed scenes of kings arising and endless great battles.

The nation-toppling Yao Xi, the Ji Family Divine King Body, the Purple Mansion Innate Daoist Embryo…

The various Saint Heirs and sacred ladies, each silhouette and face, were silently watching.

Then, Ye Fan’s gaze fell on the peerless An Miaoyi.

Her dark hair fluttered, and she was clothed in white like snow, her beautiful body like jade, her eyes like autumn waters, silently watching him.

Ye Fan swept his gaze over everyone, then withdrew it.

SWISH.

He flicked his sleeve, causing a pile of Divine Sources to fall.

In the distance, everyone exclaimed in shock.

It was astonishing that the sacred body itself possessed so many Sources, shocking the people of the Central States!

Only the people of the divine city understood that Ye Fan’s skill in Source Techniques was astounding.

He had acquired a significant harvest, especially from the shocking gamble with the Source Technique noble families, resulting in a massive accumulation of Sources.

All Divine Sources were thrown into the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Ye Fan took a step and entered, beginning his breakthrough!

The Phoenix Cry shook the heavens!

In the sky, nine Divine Birds resembling phoenixes soared.

They ferried a divine carriage bathed in Divine Light, vibrant and colorful, bursting through the clouds and arriving above.

At the same time, nine golden divine Tiger Dragons came soaring, towing an ancient war chariot.

It rolled across the sky, thundering like a thousand horses galloping.

The Eastern Wastelands’ numerous Peacock Kings appeared one after another.

They rode emperor carriages, personally arriving to witness the sacred body’s breakthrough.

ROAR…

A dragon’s roar echoed across heaven and earth.

Another notable figure appeared: nine Azure Dragons lay across the sky, vast as mountain ranges, arriving in an instant.

An elderly figure appeared in the sky.

He donned a Dragon Robe and was crowned with a Dragon Crown, radiating brilliance.

Majestic beyond compare, like the Heavenly Emperor descending, a real Ancestor Dragon Head emerged on his Dragon Crown.

“Could it be Emperor Xia himself?” Many were stunned, unsure if it was the supreme Emperor of the Central States.

From other directions, terrifying waves of power also came.

Supreme powerhouses from the Central States’ Four Immortal Dynasties successively manifested, arriving to observe the ceremony.

Then, even more people appeared.

Representatives of the various sects from the Central States arrived, arrayed in the sky above.

Each was incredibly powerful, inducing awe and trembling in those who recognized them.

BOOM!

At this moment, the seal of the Dragon Transformation Pool was lifted.

Divine Radiance burst forth, piercing the clouds and the sky.

The world became a blazing inferno, forcing eyes shut.

Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, it was like a premier Spiritual Land from the beginning of creation.

Divine Radiance cascaded in ten thousand streams, auspicious colors in a thousand strands; five hues presented themselves, seven colors swirled, making it supremely sacred.

Ye Fan sat in the Immortal Pool.

His enormous Qi was boiling, and his Blood Qi soared, transforming into a dragon-shaped column of Qi that pierced through the night sky like an unmatched sword penetrating heaven and earth.

Everyone was shocked.

“Is this the sacred body?

Still only in the Dao Palace secret boundary stage, yet its physical Blood Qi is so vigorous?

It’s like a True Dragon awakening!” The expressions of the various Saint Heirs and sacred ladies changed.

If such a person were successful in his breakthrough, he would become an immensely formidable foe!

The whole world his enemy.

Ye Fan felt an endless killing intent surging towards him from all directions.
