Covering the Sky: The Ruthless Empress's Brother, Becoming an Emperor Through Biting!

Jiang Xuan turned around and looked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who were completely petrified.

"Alright, the flies are gone."

"We've finished the buffet."

He patted Ye Fan on the shoulder: "Little Fan, it's time for our Ye to get going."

Ye Fan nodded mechanically; his brain had completely shut down.

What kind of monster is his uncle?

Led by Jiang Xuan, the group began to leave the desolate forbidden land.

"Run! Don't look back!"

Jiang Xuan walked at the very front.

He walked seemingly casually, yet every step he took precisely avoided all the invisible dangers.

After all, he was the ruthless empress's brother, and with the protection of the Immortal Cauldron, he felt as if he were home in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo followed closely behind Jiang Xuan. Because they had eaten the sacred fruit, their physical condition had greatly improved, and they were able to keep up with him.

Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, and the other surviving classmates stumbled and fell, looking utterly disheveled.

When they saw the sunlight outside the forbidden area, they wept with joy.

"I...I survived!" Pang Bo plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

Ye Fan also collapsed to the ground. He looked back at the forbidden area shrouded in mist, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

Only Jiang Xuan remained as lazy as ever.

He simply dusted himself off and complained, "This mountain path is really hard to walk on, it's exhausting."

Ye Fan: "..."

If he still believes his uncle's nonsense now, he'd be a fool.

"Uncle, thank you so much for what I did inside just now," Ye Fan said sincerely.

He knew that without Jiang Xuan, none of them would have survived.

"Why thank me?" Jiang Xuan waved his hand. "You're my nephew, blood is thicker than water. If your uncle doesn't protect you now, do you expect me to protect you?"

Ye Fan was about to say something.

Jiang Xuan then added, "Oh right, I'll really have to rely on you to protect me from now on. As the Heavenly Emperor's nephew, you can't let your uncle down."

Ye Fan: "Uncle, you're talking nonsense again."

"Alright, enough nonsense." Jiang Xuan pointed down the mountain. "We need to find a place to stay, preferably one that provides food and lodging."

……

Exhausted, the group left this place of trouble.

Just then, a clear female voice rang out: "You came from the forbidden area?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old was riding a divine rainbow, looking down at them from above.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, and wore simple and elegant clothes. She had an otherworldly air about her, like a fairy in a painting.

She is Vivi.

Weiwei's gaze swept over everyone.

When she saw Ye Fan and Pang Bo, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly.

Although the two were in a sorry state, their vital energy was abundant, far exceeding that of ordinary people, clearly indicating that they had obtained a "divine opportunity" in the forbidden area.

But when her gaze fell on Jiang Xuan, she was slightly taken aback.

This young man... is quite strange.

He looked ordinary, with a weak breath, like an ordinary person who couldn't even kill a chicken.

But his eyes were eerily calm, as if he had seen through everything in the world, carrying a languor that was incongruous with his age.

"I am Weiwei, a disciple of Lingxu Cave Heaven. May I ask if you have returned from the forbidden area?" Weiwei gracefully landed and asked politely.

"Lingxu Cave Heaven?"

"Forbidden area?"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with shock.

It seems they have truly entered a mythical world.

Ye Fan stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Miss, we did indeed just come down from that mountain, barely escaping with our lives. We are..."

Ye Fan briefly recounted their experience.

Of course, the existence of Earth was not revealed.

After listening, Weiwei understood.

"I see. You lot are truly blessed to have survived this forbidden area." Weiwei's smile grew even sweeter. "To be honest, my Lingxu Cave Heaven is currently opening its gates wide to recruit disciples. I see that you all possess extraordinary talent; I wonder if you would be willing to follow me and enter the immortal sect for cultivation?"

"Cultivation?!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo's hearts skipped a beat!

"I do!" Pang Bo was the first to shout.

Ye Fan nodded emphatically: "I'm willing!"

Li Xiaoman, Lin Jia, and others also looked excited.

Only Jiang Xuan muttered softly, "Lingxu Cave Heaven? Sounds like a small sect..."

Vivi: "..."

Next, cultivators from other grotto-heavens arrived, and after some haggling, the various grotto-heavens divided up Ye Fan's batch of "immortal seedlings".

……

Lingxu Cave Heaven.

As one of the six blessed lands of the Yan Kingdom, Lingxu Cave is nestled among mountains, shrouded in mist and adorned with flying cranes, exuding an extraordinary grandeur.

Weiwei led Jiang Xuan and his group to the front of the mountain gate.

Elder Wu Qingfeng, who was in charge of recruiting disciples, personally received them.

"Oh? You came out alive from the ancient forbidden land?"

Elder Wu Qingfeng's gaze swept over the crowd like lightning.

"You have abundant energy and a strong physique, not bad." He pointed at Pang Bo and nodded.

"You..." He frowned as he looked at Ye Fan. "Strange, why is your body like an abyss, bottomless yet utterly lifeless?"

He reached out and placed his hand on Ye Fan's sea of ​​suffering.

A moment later, he shook his head in disappointment.

"Alas, what a pity. It is the legendary Ancient Sacred Body. The Sea of ​​Bitterness is as solid as divine iron, and divine power cannot advance even an inch. It seems you are destined to be forever barred from the path of immortality."

Ye Fan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

"Elder! This is impossible!" Pang Bo exclaimed anxiously, "Ye Zi, he..."

"Shut up," Wu Qingfeng snapped, then looked at Jiang Xuan.

He looked Jiang Xuan up and down, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"Uh... how come you also have the Ancient Sacred Body?"

"Me?" Jiang Xuan pointed to himself, then to Ye Fan, "Because I'm his uncle."

"Uncle?" Wu Qingfeng was taken aback.

"That's right." Jiang Xuan said earnestly, "Elder, my nephew has the Ancient Sacred Body, so it's normal for me to have the Ancient Sacred Body too, isn't it?"

Wu Qingfeng: "..."

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

At this moment, Weiwei spoke up, "Elder, since he is Ye Fan's relative, let him stay. Although he and Ye Fan are also ancient waste bodies, they have come out of the forbidden area after all, so they should have good fortune. It would be good for them to stay in the sect as servants."

Wu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Very well. Pang Bo, your aptitude is decent, you can join the outer sect of my Lingxu Cave Heaven." "Ye Fan, you have a useless body, you'll start as a menial disciple, in charge of managing the herb garden."

"As for you..." He looked at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan quickly replied, "I can take care of lying down."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng's face twitched: "You can go to the herb garden with Ye Fan!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Xuan snapped his fingers, his heart filled with joy.

"Perfect."

"Here, there is food and lodging, and my nephew Ye Fan, the future Heavenly Emperor, will be my laborer."

"My grand plan to 'cultivate the Dao and become an emperor' has finally taken its first solid step!"

Then, he patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiao Fan, from now on, your uncle's wonderful life is in your hands."

Ye Fan: "??????"
