I and countless versions of myself simultaneously travel through time.

Ye Yan carefully guided the soul of Venerable Tianhuo into the ancient storage ring, and then set up a soul-nurturing array inside the ring.

This formation uses the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame as its guide and the Dou Zong level Dou Qi as its source. Although it cannot immediately restore the Heavenly Fire Venerable's soul power, it can at least make him more comfortable in the storage ring and prevent him from continuing to weaken.

"This formation is quite good." Venerable Tianhuo's voice came from the storage ring, with a hint of satisfaction. "I have been hiding underground for many years, and my soul power has been severely depleted. With your nourishment, I can last longer."

Ye Yan nodded without saying anything more, then leaped out of the magma world and returned to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

The two elders, Qianbai and Su Qian, were still waiting outside. When they saw him come out, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yan raised his hand, and a tiny flame floated out from his palm, hovering in front of Su Qian.

That was a secondary flame of the Fallen Heart Flame. Although it was not as powerful as the original flame, it was enough to maintain the cultivation effect of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and there would be no more risk of it going out of control.

"This is a sub-flame of the Fallen Heart Flame, left for Canaan Academy," Ye Yan said calmly. "There will be no more riots in the future."

Su Qian accepted the flame with both hands, as if it were a priceless treasure, and thanked him repeatedly.

The two elders also showed joy. After suppressing the rebellion for so many years, they could finally put down this burden.

Ye Yan didn't linger. He raised his hand, tore open a spatial rift, and stepped inside.

Before disappearing, he glanced back at the young man carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler in the crowd and said, "Take good care of that kid Xiao Yan. He has the potential to become a Dou Zong and will surely achieve great things in the future."

The spatial rift closed, and Ye Yan's figure vanished without a trace.

Su Qian and Qian Bai, the two elders, stood there stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"No..." Su Qian's lips twitched, "Is it really that good? We haven't even had a chance to thank them yet!"

The two elders also looked helpless.

This Sect Leader Ye came and went in a hurry, without even giving us a chance to exchange a polite word.

The three exchanged a glance, sighed in unison, and turned to look at Xiao Yan with complicated expressions. This kid has a Dou Zun standing behind him; his future is limitless.

Xiao Yan felt uncomfortable being stared at by three pairs of eyes. He scratched his head, chuckled, touched his nose, and gave a wry smile.

"It was just luck; it's all thanks to Senior Ye's good care."

Inside the spatial passage, Ye Yan walked through the air, surrounded by endless void turbulence.

A Dou Zun expert can tear through space to travel at a speed far exceeding that of Dou Qi Wings. In less than half an hour, he returned to the Yunlan Sect.

Behind the Yunlan Sect, Little Fairy Doctor is cultivating.

She sat cross-legged on a blue stone, surrounded by a faint purple poisonous mist, a sign that her Calamity Poison Body was beginning to awaken.

Ye Yan landed in front of her and took out a ball of crimson fire poison from his storage ring. It was extracted from the magma beneath the Fallen Heart Flame and contained the essence of the poisonous flames accumulated by the Fallen Heart Flame over millions of years.

"Fire poison?" Little Fairy Doctor opened her eyes and saw the crimson flame, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"I also have a set of poison control techniques that I created myself." Ye Yan handed over the fire poison and a scroll. "Once you master it, you will have basic control over your Calamity Poison Body and will no longer have to worry about dying from the poison."

Little Fairy Doctor took the fire poison and the scroll, her hands trembling slightly. The Calamity Poison Body was a double-edged sword, incredibly powerful but capable of backfiring at any moment.

She had been searching for a way to control the poison, but unexpectedly Ye Yan delivered himself to her doorstep.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ye!" Little Fairy Doctor bowed deeply, her eyes slightly red.

Just then, the voice of Venerable Heavenly Fire came from the storage ring: "Boy, have you forgotten something?"

Ye Yan was taken aback: "Forgot what?"

"A treasure trove!" Venerable Heavenly Fire's voice carried a hint of disappointment. "The treasure trove of Canaan Academy! You went to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, and you didn't even bother to loot the treasure trove? There are plenty of good things inside!"

Ye Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems... I did forget. I mainly came to get the Fallen Heart Flame. I'll go later."

Venerable Heavenly Fire: "..."

"But it's alright." Ye Yan waved his hand, his tone indifferent. "I have a better cultivation method."

Venerable Heavenly Fire remained silent.

This kid is good in every way, except that he's sometimes too carefree; he's even too lazy to take anything from the treasure vault.

Ye Yan drew the soul of Venerable Tianhuo out of his storage ring and brought it to a secret room.

Inside the secret chamber, all sorts of materials for refining the physical body had already been prepared: the remains of the Heavenly Fire Venerable, the ingredients for the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, and the materials for the Yin-Yang Life-Soul Pill—everything was readily available.

"Elder Yao, I've brought your remains." Ye Yan took the skeleton out of his storage ring and carefully placed it on the stone platform. "I'll refine the Bone Regeneration and Blood Fusion Pills and the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pills now."

Venerable Heavenly Fire gazed at his own remains from his previous life, remaining silent for a long time before his voice grew hoarse: "Thank you."

Ye Yan said no more. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame surged from his palm, engulfing the medicinal herbs one by one into the flame.

The refining of seventh-grade pills is extremely difficult for ordinary alchemists, but for Ye Yan, it is already a piece of cake.

In less than half a day, two pills were formed, their fragrance filling the air.

After Venerable Tianhuo took the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, new flesh and blood began to grow on his withered bones.

The scene was quite bizarre. On the white bones, tendons, blood vessels, and muscles grew, intertwined, and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a complete body was formed.

The soul of Venerable Heavenly Fire entered the newly formed body, and the body suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze radiating brilliance.

"Take the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill." Ye Yan handed over the second pill.

Without hesitation, Venerable Tianhuo swallowed it, and the fusion of his soul and body accelerated instantly, unleashing a powerful aura from his body.

At the first star of Dou Zun, Tianhuo Zun Zhe's cultivation has recovered to the Dou Zun level. Although there is still a gap between him and the peak of Dou Zun, he has at least been reborn.

"Not enough." Ye Yan frowned, sensing the fluctuations of battle qi within the Heavenly Fire Venerable's body. "This physical body is not strong enough to withstand your power at its peak."

Venerable Heavenly Fire stared wide-eyed in astonishment: "This isn't enough? I think it's already very strong!"

Ignoring his surprise, Ye Yan took out a large pile of pills from his storage ring and stuffed them into Venerable Tianhuo's mouth.

Before Venerable Tianhuo could react, the pills had already transformed into a torrent of medicinal power, surging into his limbs and bones.

His Dou Qi cultivation began to rise steadily, soaring from Dou Zun Level 1 to Dou Zun Level 2 before finally stopping.

"This..." Venerable Heavenly Fire was completely stunned as he felt the surging power within his body.

He had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a cultivation method. Eating pills like food and having one's cultivation level rise like a rocket—this was too outrageous!

Is this how he usually cultivates his power?

Ye Yan nodded in satisfaction: "That's about it. Elder Yao, you must work for me no matter what. It would be a shame not to do something good for such a powerful Dou Zun."

Venerable Heavenly Fire's lips twitched: "Are you trying to exploit me?"

"This is called making the best use of everyone's talents; we are all members of the Ye Alliance," Ye Yan said seriously.

Venerable Heavenly Fire laughed in anger, but he accepted it.

Ye Yan gave him a new life, so he owes Ye Yan a life and it is only right that he serves him.

Ye Yan led Venerable Tianhuo out of the secret chamber and toured around the Yunlan Sect.

The Yunlan Sect of today is no longer the small, isolated sect it once was.

The banner of the Ye Alliance flew high in front of the sect. Representatives from various forces, including the Jia Ma Empire, the Chu Yun Empire, the Snake People Clan, and the Alchemist Guild, came and went, creating a lively atmosphere.

Looking at all this, Venerable Tianhuo couldn't help but chuckle: "Isn't this just a small sect? Compared to those behemoths in Zhongzhou, it's not even worth an ant."

"Naturally, it's not as good as Zhongzhou." Ye Yan nodded, but his tone was unusually serious. "But Yunlan Sect is where I grew up. My sect, my companions, and my foundation are all here. No matter what, I will make it stronger."

Venerable Heavenly Fire was slightly taken aback, then smiled.

He possesses terrifying strength, a calm temperament, and still cherishes old friendships; he is indeed a rare individual.

"Elder Yao, I need you to go to the Tagor Desert." Ye Yan stopped and turned to look at Venerable Tianhuo. "The Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked eighteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, I need you to retrieve it for me."

Venerable Tianhuo nodded, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Ye Yan then took Venerable Tianhuo to meet Yun Yun, Little Fairy Doctor, Medusa, and the green-haired girl Qing Lin.

Yun Yun is a Dou Zong, Medusa is also a Dou Zong, and although Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation is not high, once her Calamity Poison Body is unleashed, even Dou Zun will be wary of her.

The more Venerable Tianhuo looked, the more astonished he became. This small Yunlan Sect actually harbored so many potential talents.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Gama Empire.

The news that two Dou Zun were stationed at Yunlan Sect was like a bombshell, causing the entire empire to boil over.

The Gama royal family, the Izumo Empire, and all the major clans were talking about Ye Meng, Ye Yan, and that newly arrived Dou Zun powerhouse.

At that moment, inside the shared space.

As soon as Ye Yan entered Doupo, he sensed that something was wrong.

Several Ye Yans huddled together, staring at the two newcomers.

One of them was covered in gold and was carrying an iron rod, while the other was smiling and holding a strangely illustrated booklet.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yan asked curiously.

The mysterious Ye Yan pointed to the two newcomers: "We've got a Ye Yan who plays King of Glory and a Ye Yan who plays hentai anime."

Ye Yan from Doupo paused for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, our team is getting more and more lively."

The group of Ye Yan sat in a circle and began to share their memories, talents, and strength.

A jumble of abilities flooded into Ye Yan's mind. He closed his eyes to process them for a moment, then opened them and sighed, "Looks like I'll have to go to the Central Continent for resources. The things in the Northwest Continent aren't enough for me to mess around with."

The mysterious Ye Yan crossed his arms: "I'm still training Yang Jian. That kid, he can't stand a day without getting a beating from me. He's squatting at the training ground entrance at six o'clock sharp every morning, eagerly waiting for me to give him some intense training. Others train for money, he trains for his life, and the worst part is he's addicted! A few days ago I deliberately gave him a day off, and he came knocking on my door in the middle of the night, saying he felt uncomfortable and begging me to hit him a couple of times. Do you think that counts as Stockholm syndrome? I suspect that if he keeps training like this, one day when I'm not around, he'll be able to hit himself to get the feeling back."

"Why should I ask you to be beaten?" asked Ye Yan, a mortal.

"Because once I hit it, the supernatural phenomenon was suppressed."

Ye Yan from Doupo laughed in exasperation: "What have you turned Yang Jian into? You've turned a perfectly good protagonist into something like a ghost slave."

The mysterious Ye Yan shook his head, his face serious: "You don't understand. I need to use headquarters resources to enhance my supernatural powers, and Yang Jian is the best candidate. Moreover, his personality is even more arrogant now, which suits me perfectly. The limits of my Ghost Eye development are not yet reached, and besides, the protagonist of every book is the best chosen one."

Just then, Ye Yan from the inner circle spoke up with a smile: "Everyone, I have some good news to share. Your kidneys can now be strengthened indefinitely. You won't have to worry about your bedroom skills anymore."

All of Ye Yan fell silent.

Ye Yan from Doupo turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Ye Yan from King of Glory, the "Sun Wukong" who was covered in golden light and had been used by different monkey players tens of millions of times.

Ye Yan in Honor of Kings is not actually a real person; he is the electronic life form of the hero "Sun Wukong," and has been used by countless players thousands of times, to the point that they are already numb to it.

In the Chinese version of the game, Sun Wukong is all him, but he is just a game character, a string of electronic data, and even his true self is almost disappearing.

Until one day, he modified the gold coins in a ranked match, pretending to be controlled by the player, but actually operating it independently.

Those players who were "tricked" by him were reported and banned, permanently suspended from competition. After the news spread, Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili all exploded. Sun Wukong had actually been resurrected?

This is none other than the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!

Ye Yan, the King of Glory player, did not stop.

He started doing weird things with the female characters' skins, like auto-play, instant item and economy progression, and speedrunning the game... The official King of Glory team was heavily criticized, but they couldn't find out what the problem was.

Later, he even manipulated the KPL professional league, making the five heroes of both sides fight each other, leaving professional players and viewers dumbfounded.

After listening, Ye Yan from Doupo couldn't help but ask, "Are you getting revenge on the game?"

King of Glory's Ye Yan shrugged, looking completely innocent: "I'm just a string of electronic data. I haven't harmed society, so I've already been merciful enough. Besides, I can still go into reality in the future."

The mysterious Ye Yan nodded thoughtfully: "Isn't that... the Sole Law?"

Zhong Yeyan has logged off.

...

A world where mortals cultivate to become immortals.

Luoyun Sect.

Multi-layered, enclosed chambers.

"The Five Elements Spiritual Roots were once the greatest shackles of my life. From the arduous journey of Qi Refining to the near-death experience of Core Formation, I exhausted my efforts and traversed countless mountains and rivers to barely reach this point. But now, the opportunities granted by the shared space have given me, with my 'useless spiritual roots,' the confidence to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"A hundred years of arduous cultivation is not as good as even a fraction of the gift from a golden finger. In the cultivation world, opportunity ultimately outweighs effort."

Ye Yan sat cross-legged in the secret chamber of the Luoyun Sect, his body radiating spiritual light. His cultivation at the ninth level of the Core Formation stage had reached its peak. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with both emotion and relief.

Looking back, as a useless cultivator with five spiritual roots, he struggled to make progress in the cultivation world.

To achieve Foundation Establishment, he ventured deep into the wilderness, battling demonic beasts and narrowly escaping death. To form the Core Formation, he traversed the southern lands, searching for spiritual herbs and fighting alongside his fellow disciples in the Blood Forbidden Land. Each breakthrough was soaked in blood and sweat, and every bit of cultivation was hard-won.

He once spent months lying in wait on a snow-covered plain, frozen for thousands of miles, for a thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

He once fought wits and courage against a Nascent Soul cultivator for a tattered cultivation manual, nearly losing his life in the process.

But everything changed after the shared spaces were launched.

He not only shared Ye Yan's Core Formation cultivation in female attire, but also inherited her pure battle qi. That immense power originating from another world merged with his own spiritual power, making his foundation even more stable than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

What was originally a bottleneck that required decades of painstaking effort was broken through as easily as a piece of paper with the help of the power of sharing.

"A hundred years of arduous cultivation is not as good as a single moment of opportunity." Ye Yan changed the hand seals, and the spiritual energy in the secret chamber suddenly surged.

This breakthrough is not only a leap in cultivation, but also signifies a reshuffling of the power structure in Tiannan.

From this point on, Ye Yan of the Luoyun Sect officially joined the ranks of top experts.

Immediately, the Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon descended with a thunderous roar, and five-colored spiritual light soared into the sky, its majestic momentum enveloping the entire Falling Cloud Sect and shaking all directions.

Ye Yan casually opened the talent panel, glanced at it indifferently, and slowly began to break through.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

[Life State: The Posture of a Dao Ancestor]

The four words, gleaming with golden light, stung his eyes.
