In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Thus, the divine consciousness touched the green copper block within the sea of ​​suffering.

Sure enough, there might be the presence of the Azure Emperor's Heart. The green copper block slowly began to glow, and a wisp of magical power pierced through Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness and descended upon the Azure Emperor's Heart.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Azure Emperor's heart immediately began to beat, strong and powerful, as if it were still inside the Azure Emperor's body.

Then, three drops of bright red blood dripped out and floated in the air, which Ye Fan immediately collected.

"Push him any further," Lu Yao continued to command, this was not the level of composure expected of an emperor.

Ye Fan continued to communicate with the green copper block. At this moment, the Azure Emperor's heart was swaying and wanted to fly away, but Ye Fan held it firmly.

Three more drops of the Emperor's blood.

With a suck from the gourd-shaped spout on Lü Yao's head, three drops of blood were collected.

"Throw it away, quick!"

From obtaining the Azure Emperor's heart to forcing out six drops of blood, only three to five seconds had passed, but many people had already flown here.

Ye Fan dared not delay and noticed the murderous intent everywhere. With a forceful throw, he tossed the Azure Emperor's heart, which had been trying to escape for a long time, into the distance.

Lu Yao used the speed secret technique from the Yao Guang Ancient Scripture to quickly leave the place with Ye Fan.

The six powerful beings in the distance are still fighting, and it is unknown when it will stop.

As expected, as soon as the Azure Emperor's heart appeared, many cultivators immediately started fighting.

That's the heart of the Eastern Wilderness Demon Emperor! If we could obtain it, we might be able to unify the Eastern Wilderness.

We must never let it fall into the hands of the demon race, lest it repeat the glory days of the demon race ten thousand years ago!

Lu Yao naturally didn't care who got the Demon Emperor's heart and the Azure Emperor's weapon. He just kept using his secret techniques to fly away into the distance, and his Dao patterns almost started smoking from all the effort.

It flew for two whole days before slowing down.

"Brother Lü, what is the use of this Demon Emperor's essence blood?"

As soon as the two landed outside a small town and were about to go in to find a place to rest, Ye Fan started asking questions.

"The Emperor's essence blood can be used to heal injuries. I'm not sure if it can heal Dao injuries, but it should have a remarkable effect on other injuries, whether physical or spiritual, second only to the elixir of immortality."

That was a Heavenly Emperor-level figure; a single drop of his blood could kill the Great Sage. Now, the killing intent within has been refined. Whether the Great Sage can be revived is unknown, but reviving the Sage is certain.

"Besides, the life essence contained within is terrifying enough for you to cultivate to the Dao Palace or even the Dao Palace Perfection. But I don't recommend you waste it like that. You can find the source, sell the ancient spirit weapon, and search for the Source Book, but the Great Emperor's essence blood is not so easy to obtain."

Lu Yao carefully instructed Ye Fan, hoping he wouldn't waste such a waste.

The next time the Azure Emperor's heart is seen, it will probably be when Yan Ruyu invites talented people from all over the world to find a suitable vessel for its nourishment.

Lu Yao could only sigh that the Azure Emperor really left no tricks up his sleeve. He just lay down and went to sleep, killing two Great Saints of the Divine Ruins without cleaning up the mess, leaving his descendants to be wiped out.

I don't know how to use the Demon Emperor's heart; I need to find a prodigy to nurture it.

How to summon the Chaos Lotus? I don't know. You need to use the Treasure Basin.

If that treasure basin could gather ancient weapons of the Great Emperor, all the holy lands would have already attacked the demon race to seize it.

Why did the twenty-eight sages of Yaoguang Holy Land have to kowtow day and night to move the ruthless girl before they could forge the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron?

Only one nineteenth-generation descendant and Yan Ruyu, whose lineage is unknown, remain among the descendants of the Green Emperor.

None of the emperor's sons and grandsons were left behind, and even the nineteenth-generation descendant lost his body and had to possess Pang Bo's body.

This is no worse than the descendants of the Taiyin Holy Emperor and the Taiyang Holy Emperor.

The two talked as they slowly walked into the town and found a small shop in a rather secluded corner.

An old man and a little girl with pigtails were sitting in front of the shop, the grandfather was telling the little girl a story while holding her, making the little girl laugh.

"The guests have arrived, Tingting, go play in the back."

Sure enough, as soon as the old man opened his mouth, Lü Yao knew things were going to get bad.

He felt the malice of this world creeping over him, and somewhere in the universe, a being called the Heavenly Emperor was watching him with a knowing smile.

Lu Yao looked at Ye Fan beside him, took three deep breaths, and stepped into the store.

As the saying goes, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and Ye Fan needs to go through a period of extreme hardship.

Chapter Nineteen: You dare to take a stepson?

One day after Lü Yao left the Demon Emperor's Tomb, the battle between the five holy lands and the demon race came to an end.

Because another supreme being, the Peacock King, had arrived, the two great demons joined forces to suppress the elders of the five holy lands, and the elder of the Jiang family almost perished.

Yan Ruyu withdrew the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, took the Chaos Green Lotus, and gracefully departed under the protection of the two powerful beings.

The three major powers, Jiang, Ji, and Yaoguang, who possessed imperial weapons, did not obstruct the process too much and accepted the established fact.

Otherwise, if the Azure Dragon King were to actually activate the Chaos Azure Lotus and clash with the three major forces, the entire Eastern Wilderness would be sunk.

As for why the Azure Dragon King was not mentioned in the original work, Lü Yao could only assume that there was a battle going on behind the scenes, but Ye Fan was too weak to even glance at him.

Otherwise, how could the demon race, relying on just a few cultivators at the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation stages, compete with the Five Great Holy Lands for the ownership of numerous treasures, or scheme against the Eastern Wilderness human race?

Can't do it at all.

If a powerful demon clan member were to support them, everything would make sense.

On the southern land, a river flows through countless mountains, its surface shimmering with iridescent light, and the essence of heaven and earth gathers on the river, forming a mist.

Jishui.

The ancestral land of the Ji family is located to the side.

Even the gates of the Ji family floated in the air, amidst clouds and mist, with islands hanging in the sky and waterfalls cascading down into the Ji River, creating splashing white waves—a magnificent and spectacular sight.

A nine-headed, ancient beast, resembling a Qilin, pulled a jade chariot and roared past from afar, surrounded by rosy clouds and mist. The beast roared like thunder from time to time, and in just a moment, it arrived at the gate of the Ji family from more than a hundred miles away.

Behind them, streaks of rainbow light appeared. Some people were riding clouds and mist, some were riding strange beasts, and some were piloting flying boats. They were all disciples or knights of the Ji family who were fighting against various forces in the Yan Kingdom's Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"Uncle Yuan Bing is back."

"My great-uncle is back."

......

Cultivators have long lifespans and many family seniority, so many people addressed Ji Yuanbing with the proper titles.

"Open the door!"

A voice came from inside the gate, and the huge floating gate opened, allowing the Ji family's Supreme Elder and many disciples to return home.

"You may all go and rest. I am going to see the Holy Lord." Ji Yuanbing stepped out of the carriage, his tone indifferent.

"Yes," the disciples bowed and agreed.

The ancient clans have existed for far too long, spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Their hierarchical system of superiors and inferiors is strict and unspoken, and these unspoken rules are inviolable.

Not everyone is like Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue, who belong to the main lineage and possess special physical characteristics, receiving abundant family resources and care from their elders.

A disciple stepped forward and led the nine-headed Qilin beast away, preparing to take it to the beast trough specially prepared for the important figures of the Ji family, to feed it blood and spiritual medicine.

Ji Yuanbing transformed into a streak of light and headed to the main hall to meet the Holy Lord and report on the operation.

Unfortunately, apart from a bunch of weapons at the level of the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation, he didn't get a single supreme treasure.

Although the Holy Lord was lenient and did not reprimand him, it was still a waste of manpower and resources, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

About half an hour later, Ji Yuanbing left the main hall.

Just as he expected, the patriarch did not reprimand him. He said that if the demon race were not confident, how could they have triggered the emergence of the Azure Emperor's Tomb? He told him not to overthink it, to go back and rest well, and to give the Ji family more guidance on their divine body cultivation when he had time.

The divine body is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and this breakthrough will allow it to break through the four extremes and achieve minor success.

He's far more promising than my two sons; no wonder he's the Ji family's Great Moon, possessing the bloodline of an emperor and a special physique.

A moment later, Ji Yuanbing landed on a floating island and entered his own private palace complex.

Ji Yuanbing frowned. Something was off. The maids and servants in the palace were overly respectful, and there was a palpable tension, as if something had happened.

"What happened during the few days I was gone?" Ji Yuanbing casually asked one of the maids.

Upon hearing her master's question, the maid trembled and replied in a shaky voice, "Young Master Jin Yue's life lamp... has gone out."

"What? Jin Yue's life lamp has gone out?" Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanbing's eyes suddenly went black, and he took half a step back. After barely regaining his balance, he hurriedly headed towards the main hall.

"Lan'er".

Sure enough, inside the main hall, a beautiful woman sat slumped on a couch, clutching an extinguished life lamp, seemingly lost in thought.

"Yuan soldiers." Upon hearing the familiar voice, the beautiful woman raised her deathly pale face, her eyes bloodshot: "Jin Yue is gone."

When did this happen?

Two days ago.

"Two days ago!" Ji Yuanbing said, "Before the battle began, I clearly told him to leave immediately and return to his family. How could he be dead!"

She was initially reluctant to take him, but Ji Jinyue said it was just to broaden his horizons and that he would not do anything reckless, so he agreed.

Later, realizing that a peerless figure might be descending from the demon race, he made him leave immediately.

He had always believed that his eldest son, Ji Jinyue, had returned to the family.

After all, in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, as long as one doesn't provoke disciples of major sects, nothing bad will happen, not to mention that he also carries the name of the Ancient Ji Family.

Holy lands and great religions would leave a trace of their essence and blood to make a life tablet or life lamp, or a trace of their soul power to make a soul lamp; when a person dies, the lamp will go out.

The Ji family makes life lamps for their members, and as long as they have family blood, one of them will be kept in the Life Lamp Hall.

Ji Yuanbing tried to take the life lamp from Jiang Lan's hand, but failed after tugging twice.

She said gently, "Hua Lan, let me take a look."

The moment the beautiful woman's pale fingers loosened their grip, tears began to stream down her face.

Sure enough, when Ji Yuanbing looked, he saw that the life lamp had gone out completely; his eldest son was dead.

"Hua Lan..."
