A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

The Black Emperor then used several other methods, including divine light to protect his body, teleportation techniques, and the sudden appearance of secret treasures, but all of them were crushed by the mountain peak!

"boom!"

In the end, the Black Emperor was firmly pressed down by the mountain, with only its head showing.

"Which bastard attacked me?! Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Black Emperor was furious and cursed under his breath.

But soon, he couldn't bring himself to curse anymore.

Because under the suppression of that mountain peak, the Taoist-transformed skin on his body began to disintegrate, revealing its original appearance!

A few seconds later, a large black dog with glossy fur, a robust build, and wearing floral shorts appeared in front of everyone!

Ye Fan was dumbfounded; his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Holy crap! You...you're actually a black dog?!"

Ye Fan's voice changed tone.

Damn! Could he have been scammed? How could the messenger of the Great Emperor Wushi be a black dog?

Also, the big floral jacket in the Taoist form should correspond to the floral shorts in the black dog form, right?

Did he just bump into that Taoist priest in his floral jacket?

Ye Fan kept replaying the events in his mind, fearing that he had encountered something he shouldn't have, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Black King blushed, but still tried to maintain his composure.

"Woof! What's wrong with being a dog? I am the divine hound under the command of the Great Emperor Wushi, how can I be compared to an ordinary dog?!"

"Judging from your expression, are you questioning my authenticity?"

"Don't you think that if it weren't for the envoy of the Beginningless Emperor, how could he possibly produce a Beginningless Emperor's decree, which carries imperial authority?"

Ye Fan: "......."

Ye Fan felt that what the Black Emperor said made a lot of sense, but the more the Black Emperor said it, the less he dared to believe him.

Because when he seemingly makes sense and tries to fool others, that's exactly how Black Emperor behaves!

.......

Just then, Lin Xiu's voice came from inside the stone archway.

"Little Yezi, what are you doing standing there in the dark? Aren't you coming in?"

Ye Fan was startled and quickly replied.

"I'm coming!"

Ye Fan glanced at the Black Emperor, who was still trapped under the mountain, and without even hesitating, strode into the stone archway.

"Damn it! You surnamed Ye! You're so disloyal!"

"Come back here right now! Otherwise, I won't give you the reward I promised!"

Ye Fan paused for a moment, but showed no intention of turning back; instead, he walked even faster.

He suddenly remembered that the Black Emperor had intended to give him a tooth mark on his sacred bone!

He had previously thought it was the tooth mark of some ancient spirit beast, but now it seems that it was the tooth mark of the Black Emperor!

You damn dog! You gave him a bone you'd already gnawed on, didn't you?! You're inhuman!

Ye Fan directly lowered the Black Emperor's credit rating to the lowest level, the same as Duan De's!

.......

Before dealing with someone of the Black Emperor's caliber, Ye Fan felt it would be better to learn more from Lin Xiu first.

Although Lin Xiu's level is only one level higher than Black Emperor and Duan De.

As soon as Ye Fan entered, he saw Lin Xiu sitting in the courtyard, holding a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

The little girl sat opposite him, her face flushed red, as she held a small suona and blew it hard.

That piercing sound came from the suona in Xiao Nannan's hand.

"Sigh~"

My Empress sister... or younger sister? Older sister?

My dear Empress! Please stop your supernatural powers immediately!

No wonder Xiangyang went outside the restaurant to cultivate; who could stand that horrifying sound?

Seeing Ye Fan enter, Lin Xiu put down the suona he was playing and patted the little girl's head.

"Nannan, you played very well today. Practice on your own for a while. Your master and your brother Ye Fan need to talk to each other."

"Ok!"

The little girl nodded vigorously, hugged the suona and ran to the side, continuing to blow it "woo-wah woo-wah".

That tune was still terribly awful.

Ye Fan's lips twitched, and he steeled himself as he walked up to Lin Xiu.

"Holy Lord, that big black dog outside..."

"It was I who suppressed them."

Lin Xiu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said:

“I know that bastard very well. If we don’t keep him in check first, he’ll keep you from having a moment’s peace.”

"You must have already experienced some of this before you came back, right?"

Ye Fan recalled how shamelessly Black Emperor had tried to join the group, and nodded in deep agreement.

"Our Holy Lord is wise."

"So, Holy Lord, you've already figured out his identity? He really is the Imperial Envoy of the Great Emperor Wushi?" Ye Fan, drawing inferences from one instance to another, immediately realized that the Black Emperor was no ordinary person.

Because if it were just a small Karami, it wouldn't be qualified for Lin Xiu to deduce.

"Well, in fact, its status is even more illustrious than that of the so-called 'Emperor Wushi'."

"Oh? That's incredibly impressive?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.

"If we have to categorize her, she could be considered the Empress Wushi."

"Hahaha! Empress? Is she a female dog?!" Ye Fan couldn't hold back anymore.

"Don't be too happy yet, it will become your empress in the future," Lin Xiu added.

Ye Fan: "......."

Ye Fan fell silent instantly, his face twitched, and he could no longer laugh.

Chapter 180 The Emperor's Elixir of Immortality: Left Foot Stepping on Right Foot?

"Um, Your Majesty... what exactly do you mean by the Empress you speak of?"

Although Ye Fan knew that Lin Xiu was definitely not talking about matters between men and women, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

"That is to say, you are the top leader of the Heavenly Court, sitting in the center, while it is the second-in-command of the Heavenly Court, sitting in the rear and directing everything."

"Your destinies are so tightly intertwined," Lin Xiu said with absolute certainty.

Ye Fan: "......."

Although the title of Emperor Wushi Envoy or even Empress Wushi sounds impressive, Ye Fan could no longer be happy when he thought of Duan De, the Underworld Emperor, Lin Xiu, the Immortal Venerable, and even the Azure Emperor and Xiao Nannan.

What kind of team is this? Is there not a single decent person among them?

[Never mind that! Our priority right now is to break through the four barriers!]

Once I finish this wave of tasks, I'll have gathered almost half of the resources to break through to the fourth level!

[The rest, I'll just need to go to a gathering of the younger generation and seduce a few nouveau riche with lofty ambitions but tiny brains to bet against me. That should be enough!]

As for the matter of the innate sacred body and Dao embryo, let that dog tell us himself. If I bring it up, it will be too obvious, and Master Lin will easily notice something amiss.

.......

"Ahem~ Thank you for the reminder, Holy Lord."

"However, I'm only at the Dao Palace realm now, so let's not talk about the future. Let's focus on the present."

"I have successfully completed the task you assigned me, Holy Lord. Please check it now!"

Ye Fan took out several brocade boxes from his storage artifact, which contained the source stones he had obtained from the top-tier stone workshops of various holy lands.

As Ye Fan took out the source stones, he said:

"By the way, Holy Lord, there is a woman named Ji Zi from the Ji family who wants to see you. She says she wants to discuss the Void Mirror and the people in the Ji family."

Lin Xiu nodded.

"Oh? Himeko? She has indeed been born."

“That’s true. The Void Emperor only has one son. He’s the only one left who can try to activate the Void Mirror through me.” Not long ago, Lin Xiu had sensed an anomaly in the Void Mirror, but it was quickly cut off by the Void Mirror just like last time.

In retrospect, it was Himeko who was summoning the Void Mirror at that time.

"Huh? Holy Lord, you're saying... Himeko is the Void Emperor's biological daughter!?"

Ye Fan's mouth dropped open. Well, although he had indeed considered this possibility because Ji Zi and the Void Emperor looked alike, he was still surprised to be told it to him in person.

After all, this is the Emperor's own son!

Living in the same era as the emperor and his children gave him a strange feeling of time and space shifting.

"Isn't he just the Emperor's son? What are you so surprised about?" Lin Xiu shook his head.

"Have you forgotten that there's still an Empress Wushi being suppressed outside the door?"

Ye Fan: "........."

Ye Fan's expression changed. Thinking of the Black Queen, the sense of vicissitudes he had felt earlier vanished instantly.

Very well, Master Lin, how dare you obstruct his enlightenment? You have already chosen the path to death!

Even so, Ye Fan had already made up his mind to stay away from Lin Xiu and keep a low profile in the near future. This way, he could deflect responsibility if Lin Xiu's affair with Huang Yao came to light.
