Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 71 The Madman Who Has Never Died in Six Thousand Years

That very night, Ye Fan sought out his senior brother, Lu Hao, to ask for a way to leave the Tai Xuan Sect.

The senior brother knew his identity, and Ye Fan also trusted the senior brother to a certain extent.

"To leave unnoticed, one can only use the domain gate to travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. Otherwise, relying solely on human smuggling would be easily discovered," Lu Hao said.

"Where is the domain gate of our Tai Xuan Sect?" Ye Fan immediately asked.

"This... I don't know either. Moreover, the conditions for opening a domain gate are harsh and require a huge price to pay. Either you need to use the source as the driving material or you need to use your own pure divine power to activate the domain gate. Either way, it's very difficult to do. Most importantly, domain gates are usually important hubs connecting sects with other places, guarded by powerful figures. Ordinary people simply can't get through."

Lu Hao spoke calmly.

Hearing his senior brother's words, Ye Fan's anxiety finally subsided.

The method to open the domain gate is too difficult; with his individual strength, he can almost ignore it.

"Senior Brother, I may have to leave the Tai Xuan Sect," Ye Fan said.

"Is it because the Ji family has come?" Lu Hao asked.

"Yes, my master reminded me to keep my distance from the ancient aristocratic families. Moreover, I also have some unpleasant entanglements with the Ji family," Ye Fan said, revealing part of the details.

"Since that's the case, you should leave. Go ask your master if there's a way to leave the Tai Xuan Sect." Lu Hao nodded upon hearing this, reminding Ye Fan that he could go find Li Ruoyu and ask her.

Ye Fan nodded, bid farewell to his senior brother Lu Hao, and found Li Ruoyu under the cover of night, bringing up the matter.

"Leave... wait a few more days. There have been major events happening near Wei in the past few days. The Ji family and the powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land have come to search for that old madman who has lived for six thousand years. If you leave now and they find you, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Li Ruoyu, the peak master of Zhuofeng, spoke up to remind Ye Fan.

Finally, Ye Fan returned to his wooden cabin.

Leaving Zhuofeng is indeed a difficult issue to resolve in the short term.

If they can't go through the domain gate, and if they leave directly, there are still so many powerful people outside the Tai Xuan Sect. If they are discovered, then it really doesn't make sense.

Ye Fan sighed, realizing he had no choice but to look for other solutions.

The matter of the old madman could not be kept secret, and the entire Tai Xuan Sect soon learned of it, with a group of disciples discussing it.

The only good news for Ye Fan was that his "brother-in-law" hadn't arrived yet.

He still has time to plan his escape.

"Little Moon, let's play hide-and-seek. You hide me and see if the others can find me. If they do, you lose, okay?"

In the end, Ye Fan found Ji Ziyue and made this suggestion.

Ji Ziyue wrinkled her cute nose and gritted her teeth slightly, "Little brat, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think you're old enough to fool a future fairy?"

Ji Ziyue spoke, extending her snow-white hand, bending her fingers, and landing heavily on Ye Fan's head with a thud.

Then, Ji Ziyue immediately withdrew her hand and blew on it, "Little brat, why is your head so hard?" After the news of the old madman spread, many experts from the Tai Xuan Sect were mobilized, along with many experts from the Ji family and the Yao Guang Holy Land, to search for the old madman's whereabouts.

The reason is simple: the old madman's background is too terrifying!

"That person was a prodigy from a once-powerful holy land in the Eastern Wilderness. However, when that holy land attacked the Ancient Forbidden Land, almost the entire army was wiped out, and no one expected that anyone would survive. Judging from his age, he must be at least six thousand years old."

Whether he's a survivor of the Tianxuan Holy Land or a powerful figure who has lived for six thousand years, either of these identities sparks endless speculation. That's why several major forces have joined forces to search for his whereabouts, hoping to glean some secrets from him.

Elder Zhuofeng, Li Ruoyu, asked the question.

He sat atop Zhuofeng Mountain, bathed in the starlight streaming down from the surrounding peaks, and recounted the events unfolding in the outside world to the three people before him.

These three people are still the eldest senior brother, second senior sister, and third junior brother of Zhuofeng. Their backgrounds and origins are all extraordinary, which is why they are able to come into contact with these things.

And who knows, there might be someone among them who knows even more than he does.

"A being that has lived for six thousand years? Has it already become an immortal?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

How long is the history on Earth? Going back 6,000 years, it's still in the Neolithic Age. But here in Beidou, powerful beings have survived for 6,000 years!
"Becoming an immortal is unlikely. There are so many legends about immortals throughout history, some even claiming that someone in a certain place has become an immortal. But from ancient times to the present, no one has ever seen an immortal. Even the most powerful ancient emperors did not necessarily become immortals," Li Ruoyu said.

Immortality has always been the ultimate goal that cultivators dream of.

Throughout history, there have been many rumors about immortals, and there have been rumors that someone has become an immortal. However, these rumors cannot be investigated in depth. Once you seriously investigate, they are all false.

Becoming an immortal is not so easy.

Ye Fan looked at Ji Ziyue.

"Why are you looking at me? No one in our Ji family has become an immortal yet... but maybe in the future!" Ji Ziyue said.

"Didn't the Void Emperor become an immortal?" Ye Fan asked eagerly.

“How would I know? The story of our ancestor has been passed down for so many years, and you can get many different answers if you ask outside the family. But according to rumors within the Ji family, our ancestor did not become an immortal.” Ji Ziyue thought for a moment and said seriously.

“That proves one thing: throughout history, becoming an immortal may just be an unattainable dream. None of the ancient emperors became immortals, and the one who lived for six thousand years was probably not an immortal either.” The senior brother Lu Hao, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

“Yes, but one thing is certain: that person must be extremely powerful, otherwise, several families wouldn’t have sent so many experts to search for them,” Li Ruoyu said.

This casual conversation under the moon allowed Ye Fan to learn about the situation in the outside world.

However, he still desperately wanted to leave the Tai Xuan Sect.

The Ji family and the Yao Guang Holy Land are both searching for the old madman in the vicinity. No one knows when they will come to the Tai Xuan Sect. If they run into someone they know, they could easily be exposed.

However, how to leave Tai Xuan Sect safely is a great challenge.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better!
One day, when Ye Fan was searching for a way to leave the Tai Xuan Sect as usual, he unexpectedly encountered the Old Madman!
This powerful figure, who had baffled even the major powers, actually appeared inside the Tai Xuan Sect without the sect noticing!
Ye Fan knew this was a rare opportunity and wanted to go with the old madman to see if they could leave the Tai Xuan Sect...
