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

That is to say, there were only three people present, and no disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect. Otherwise, it might have shaken the entire sect and caused a great uproar.

"Ji Ziyue has great potential, but she only knows how to have fun." Ye Fan finally realized that the princess of the Ji family was not a minor character after all, and had unique abilities in cultivation.

Lu Yao said, "The Yuanling Body, although it is a three-fluid constitution, also has its special features."

He explained in detail the characteristics of the Yuanling Body. If the Holy Body had the assistance of the Yuanling Body, it would probably be more than just one plus one.

Ye Fan also ascended the ninth step of the Heavenly Ladder. His physical body was incredibly strong, and his blood energy shook the heavens, making it even easier for him than for Ji Ziyue.

The two descended, quite excited. After all, this was a test set up by one of the top hundred sects in the Eastern Wilderness. Being able to ascend to the ninth level meant that they had surpassed most of the predecessors of Tai Xuan.

"Brother Lü, why don't you give it a try?" Ji Ziyue said with a smile, her eyes crinkling.

After spending a month together, she seemed to realize that Ye Zi's good friend wasn't as terrifying as the legends of the Ji family suggested, who was always ready to kill members of the Ji family.

"Yeah, Lao Lü, let me see your talent. You always say you have a mortal body, but your cultivation is like a rocket."

Ye Fan also said.

"What is a rocket?" Ji Ziyue asked curiously, standing on tiptoe.

Ye Fan tapped her smooth forehead: "A magical artifact for traveling through star fields."

Lu Yao said, "My cultivation is fast because I work hard enough, exchanging sweat for cultivation. As for this Heavenly Ladder, there's no need to climb it; it can't measure my aptitude."

That's the truth. If a primordial spirit can reach the top, how can you test his aptitude?

Lu Yao took out a black, eagle-like bird from the gourd, lit a fire, and immediately started roasting it.

Ji Ziyue pulled out a pot of fine wine, its color as green as spring water, from somewhere, and the three of them drank it together.

Ji Ziyue's face was flushed from drinking, and she occasionally told jokes about the Eastern Wilderness, which made Ye Fan and Lü Yao laugh out loud.

Then she insisted on dancing a dance her mother had taught her for Yezi. As night fell and starlight shone down, she truly looked like an elf before the campfire.

Ye Fan suddenly grabbed Lü Yao's arm: "Lü Yao."

Whether it was the fine wine or the beautiful woman that made Ye Fan, with his robust physique, feel intoxicated.

"Hmm?" Something's not right with this kid. Has his sexual orientation changed? Lu Yao shifted his position and shook off his hand.

"I need your help with something."

"explain."

"I know you very well. Are you planning to wipe out the Ji family?"

Ye Fan stared intently into Lü Yao's eyes.

"No." This was the truth; he only intended to cleanse the corrupt descendants of the Great Emperor.

"Old Lu, can you spare Ziyue and her loved ones' lives?" Ye Fan didn't believe it and said, "I gave you the ancient scripture and the Xuanhuang Origin Root because of our deep brotherhood and to plead for Ziyue and her loved ones. But you gave me a Holy Spirit memory and a fist technique in return, which has made it difficult for me to ask for help."

It wasn't that Ye Fan didn't believe in the strength of the Ancient Ji family, but rather that he was somewhat afraid of Lü Yao's strength and cultivation speed.

During this month, he tried to discuss the Dao with Lü Yao, but found that Lü Yao's understanding of the Dao was too profound. He could resolve his doubts with just a few words. He even felt that Lü Yao was only slightly inferior to Senior Li Ruoyu.

But what is Li Ruoyu? A powerful being! He's one of the strongest in the Eastern Wilderness.

Lü Yao is from the second level of the four poles.

Coupled with his rapid cultivation, Ye Fan truly believed that one day soon he would be able to destroy the Ji family and avenge their current pursuit of the two of them.

But in fact, Lü Yao did not intend to completely wipe out the Ji family. After all, there were still some normal people in the Ji family. If he killed them all without distinguishing between good and bad, what would he become?

Moreover, he is currently short of time, and all he can say is that he will try his best to have the combat power of an emperor before the dark turmoil.

As for truly attaining enlightenment in a short period of time, crushing several or even a dozen Great Emperors or Heavenly Venerables single-handedly, he felt the possibility was not high.

Chapter Seventy: The First Movement of the Primordial Spirit

The existence of his cheat ability gives him a foundation similar to that of an emperor rebuilding his cultivation, but apart from immortal techniques, the illusory realms created by other incomplete scriptures only have a partial foundation.

The secret techniques and supernatural powers of the "Soldier's Secret" only focus on improving one's own level, not on cultivating one's cultivation realm.

Frankly speaking, his cultivation has progressed very quickly. In three years, he jumped from the Other Shore to the Second Heaven of the Fourth Extreme, and he may break through again soon. However, this is the initial stage of cultivation. The real time-consuming part is the Sendai Secret Realm.

Therefore, after reaching the third level of Sendai, he needed time to clarify his own path, rather than following the path of the ruthless. Under these circumstances, it was inevitable that his cultivation speed would slow down.

It's not like he can just mutter "I want to walk the path of chaos" and suddenly walk the path of chaos himself, right? That's too unconventional for cultivating immortality.

It took Ye Fan more than two hundred years to cultivate to the level of a Great Sage, but it took him another thousand years to reach the level of a Great Emperor, for a total of twelve hundred years.

What about Wushi? He swept across an entire era, possessing extraordinary talent; it must have taken him at least five or six hundred years, right?

This is not the chaotic ancient era, where spiritual energy is abundant and the laws are easy to comprehend.

This is an era of gradual unfolding and the revival of the Great Dao. Even with his cheat-like abilities, Lü Yao still needs time to comprehend the scriptures, absorb the essence, and bathe in the laws.

Having the combat power of an emperor within two hundred years is already the most ideal situation.

The dark turmoil will arrive exactly two hundred years from now.

However, the Emperor's combat power was insufficient to quell the greatest dark upheaval in history, and he needed to make contingency plans in advance.

He vaguely had a path in his mind, which would lead him to specialize in the five secret realms. He wondered if it was possible to have the combat power of an emperor when he was just a quasi-emperor.

The prerequisite is to collect more and more scriptures, especially the Imperial Scripture, which will take him countless hours and energy. He will need to search on various ancient stars and may even need to travel to the ancestral star of the Primordial Royal Family.

Therefore, Ye Fan had many worries. Lü Yao really needed some tools from the Ji and Jiang families to perform blood sacrifices in the future to enhance the combat power of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.

This leaves a backup plan for the dark turmoil and protects all living beings. This should not be decided entirely based on his personal likes and dislikes, unless these extreme forces cannot find a single good person.

Killing is for the sake of all living beings in the Eastern Wilderness, to rid them of the unscrupulous dragon; not killing is also for the sake of all living beings, to preserve the vital energy to resist the darkness.

Once he understood this reason, Lü Yao suddenly felt like he was about to become a saint, how could he be so considerate of the world and all living beings?

Moreover, if there aren't many backup plans, it would be playing with his life. The Supreme Being would definitely be very satisfied with the life essence brought by a flawed chaotic body.

"Are you really going to plead for Ji Ziyue's lineage?" Lü Yao asked with a half-smile.

"Yes."

"Return the source of all things' primordial energy to me," Lü Yao demanded.

Ye Fan's worries immediately dissipated, and he gave the Source Root back to Lü Yao.

“Ji Ziyue has no hostility towards me, and I never intended to kill her.”

Lu Yao accepted the source root, reassuring Ye Fan.

Before meeting Ji Ziyue, he thought she was just lucky. Now he realized that this girl had her own unique charm, no wonder she could control the ruthless Emperor Ye Tian.

But how could Ye Fan be at ease? Did he really think that Lü Yao's wealth, acquired at such a young age on Earth, was solely from writing novels and composing songs?

Having over 100 million in wealth is no longer just about money; it symbolizes abstract things like responsibility, fame, power, and status.

Many wolves will come by the scent, so how could Lü Yao, who built up a fortune and made people afraid to even look at him, be a simple person?

Ye Fan even suspected that his hands were not clean at that time.

"That's true, but what if Ziyue has a close relative who insists on going against you? At least for my sake, you might not kill her, or at least suppress her instead."

"Whether I kill or suppress those who are not close to Zi Yue is irrelevant."

Ye Fan smiled.

Lü Yao smiled and said, "Alright, I'll accept it, but I have something to say beforehand."

"What?"

"If any of Ji Ziyue's surviving relatives dare to seek revenge after I have cleansed the Ji family, I will seal them away and use their blood to sacrifice to the Void Mirror two hundred years later."

Ye Fan's eyes narrowed: Sure enough, Lü Yao had murderous intent towards the Ji family. If he hadn't mentioned it today, Ji Ziyue would have made him happy these past two days. Was he going to wipe out the entire Ji family in the future?

"Alright, if that day ever comes, I'll help you suppress the Ji family, including Ji Ziyue."

The scriptures and their source were originally a gift to you, yet you have given me the memory of the Holy Spirit. In return, I will find a few more ancient scriptures.

Ye Fan promised.

During his time fleeing to the northern region, Ji Ziyue saved his life twice.

One instance was teaching the Great Void Technique, which allowed one to escape the array's containment.

On one occasion, she shielded him from a deadly assassination attempt.

Although he saved Ji Ziyue by using a drop of the Azure Emperor's essence blood, and the Azure Emperor's essence blood was extremely precious, Ye Fan believed it was worth it.

Regardless of any romantic feelings involved, the two acts of saving his life were enough for Ye Fan to pay this price.

"But why sacrifice blood to the Void Mirror?" This question puzzled Ye Fan.

"Because of a turmoil and a celebration."

Ye Fan was puzzled. What turmoil? What revelry? It was like a riddle.

"If you really have a good relationship with Ji Ziyue, ask her to go back and check the Ji family records. Maybe she can find it."

At that time, the children of the Primordial Emperor and the Ancient Desolate Emperor will be born, and perhaps even more terrifying figures will be involved.

Lu Yao naturally did not believe that these extreme families and ancient imperial lineages had no records of the Dark Turmoil and the Path to Immortality.

"The biological son of the Primordial Emperor and the Ancient Emperor..." Ye Fan was in a daze. What kind of divine figures were they? They must be true prodigies.

Ji Ziyue sat back down, shouting and raising her wine cup to drink with Lü Yao, gossiping about the holy lands of various families, her bright and charming demeanor captivating.

Immersed in the moment, I lost track of time. As night fell, the distant star-capped peaks were enveloped in a veil of starlight, ethereal and hazy, like a fairyland.

After enjoying the unique scenery for a while, the three of them returned to their respective places of temporary cultivation.

Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue built two bamboo houses on the mountaintop, while Lü Yao found the cave dwelling left by the ancient sages of Zhuofeng under the waterfall halfway up the mountain.

Li Ruoyu appeared behind a boulder, watching the three figures disperse, and remained silent.

It's a pity that none of these three promising talents belong to Zhuofeng.

But then I thought, if one of the three really does inherit the legacy that disappeared five hundred years ago, it would still be a kind of connection, so there's no need to insist that he must be a disciple of Zhuofeng.

In the original work, he and Ye Fan had this kind of relationship. Now that Lü Yao has been added, he is still just as broad-minded, open-minded, and clear-headed.

Another half month passed, and the Zhuofeng Inheritance was launched as scheduled. Ye Fan held the Bodhi Seed, and Lü Yao shared the ultimate understanding of Tai Chi Chuan, and both obtained the secret of the character "皆".
