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

In this situation, the elixir of immortality is actually useful.

As long as Ye Fan can live a second life with the help of the elixir of immortality, he will be able to refresh his body and resolve the problem of the Daoist essence within him.

However, Lin Xiu felt that this was a huge waste.

If the elixir of immortality is used to break through the Daoist seal, how will Ye Fan survive his third life without the accumulation of his second life brought by the elixir of immortality?

Using the elixir of immortality is not a perfect solution.

Unless there is absolutely no other way, Lin Xiu would never allow Ye Fan to use the elixir of immortality to start his second life prematurely.

.........

"Ye Fan can only cross over by himself? That means... even Master Lin can't help him?!" Pang Bo's face fell, finding it hard to accept this reality.

"Yes, he can only rely on himself to get through this ordeal," Lin Xiu reiterated.

Pang Bo: "........."

Pang Bo pondered for a few seconds, his expression constantly changing.

A few seconds later, he turned around and pounced on Ye Fan.

"Caw! Leaf! Even Master Lin can't do anything about it, we're really doomed now."

Pang Bo really didn't want to see himself making great strides on the path of cultivation while Ye Fan gradually declined and died.

"Mmm~"

Pang Bo's movements were a bit loud, causing Ye Fan, who was lying on the lotus platform, to frown and finally wake up.

The first thing Ye Fan saw when he woke up was Pang Bo's big face.

As a result, his already furrowed brows furrowed even deeper.

If he could, he hoped that when he woke up, he would see Ji Ziyue or Qin Yao crying in his arms.

Pang Bo said... Brothers are brothers, but men are different, so it's best not to get too close.

"Pang Bo, I'm not dead yet, there's no need to mourn for me," Ye Fan said, quite annoyed.

"Um?!"

"Ye Zi, you're awake?"

Pang Bo hurriedly got up from Ye Fan, and when he thought about his inappropriate behavior just now, the usually carefree Pang Bo actually showed a little bit of embarrassment.

"By the way, Ye Zi, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Pang Bo asked again.

"No."

"At most, the body will be somewhat depleted due to burning its vital essence?"

There is a fundamental difference between actively burning one's origin and having one's origin obliterated by the innate Dao diagram.

Active combustion is controllable. It's like drinking all the cola in a bottle; as long as the liquid is replenished after combustion, there won't be any major problems.

However, having its origin obliterated by the Primordial Dao Diagram is equivalent to crushing the entire bottle. Even if liquid is added to it, it will not fill up; it will only continue to drain away.

Having undergone the trials of the Innate Dao Diagram, Ye Fan's origin was quite abundant. Occasionally burning it wouldn't cause any major problems, which is why Ye Fan thought of burning his origin to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

Next, Ye Fan examined his own Sea of ​​Wheels and Dao Palace and found that the situation was quite good, much better than when he was suppressed by the Innate Dao Diagram.

The only problem is... there are some things that weren't originally there.

His once magnificent and dazzling golden sea of ​​suffering is now shrouded in a deathly gray.

The sea was completely still, like a stagnant pool frozen in ice.

The familiar life essence was no longer present on the sea surface; instead, there were nine enormous pillars of light, each a different color, reaching to the heavens and the earth.

These nine pillars of light were interwoven from the laws and Daoist principles of nine Lin Xiu. Each pillar of light exuded a completely different terrifying aura, like nine stabilizing needles that completely suppressed his sea of ​​suffering.

Above the Wheel of Life, five Taoist palaces that were once radiant with light and filled with the sound of chanting are now tightly bound by countless nine-colored chains.

These nine-colored chains, formed from nine different Daoist principles, bound Ye Fan's Dao Palace layer by layer, suppressing it until it was shrouded in a gray haze, devoid of any radiance, as if it had fallen into an eternal slumber.

Chapter 330 The Road Beyond the Emperor's Path

[So that's how it is. So that's why Master Lin couldn't arbitrarily raise other people's cultivation levels?]

Ye Fan remembered Li Changqing and Zhang Wuye. They had both absorbed the scriptures and Daoist principles given by Lin Xiu, which allowed them to rapidly improve their cultivation levels.

For ordinary people, this is a good choice, as it can quickly increase lifespan and combat power.

But... for Tianjiao, this was a move that completely cut off his path forward!

The nine Lin Xiu who descended during the Heavenly Tribulation, although their scriptures and Daoist rhymes were not quite the same as those given by Lin Xiu himself and could not improve his cultivation, still had the same effect of severing a cultivator's path to immortality!

In fact, he was in an even worse situation than Li Changqing and Master Zhang, because... their paths were not blocked!

Of course, since they have all absorbed Lin Xiu's scriptures and Daoist principles, there's no need to talk about their own personal Dao.

.......

Ye Fan observed his internal condition for a long time before looking back at the outside world and at Lin Xiu's extremely familiar face.

"Master Lin, is this the 'great calamity' you told me about?"

"Ah."

Lin Xiu nodded: "It seems you already know your situation?"

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

"I know that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through to the next level."

Ye Fan's expression was very calm, as if the road ahead of him was blocked, not his, but someone else's.

If Ye Fan had reacted strongly, it would have been fine, but his calm demeanor caused some people to become overly emotional.

The tears that had been welling up in Ji Ziyue's eyes suddenly poured out, and she rushed over and punched Ye Fan hard in the chest with her little fist!

"Ye Fan! Don't give up hope so easily!"

"Even if we can't now, we might find a solution when our cultivation level increases in the future!"

Compared to the Ye Fan in front of her who calmly accepted his fate, she still preferred the Ye Fan who spoke rudely to her and forced her to write down the Void Emperor Law!

"that is!"

Pang Bo also stepped forward and grabbed Ye Fan's shoulder tightly.

"Ye Zi, you must believe that all heavenly tribulations exist to temper and hone cultivators."

"Perhaps you can solve this problem on your own after studying it for a while, without needing anyone else's help! After all... you are the future Heavenly Emperor! How could you possibly stop here?"

Logically speaking, Pang Bo's encouragement was quite appropriate.

However, Ye Fan knew that his situation could not be judged by common sense.

Are all heavenly tribulations meant to temper and hone cultivators?

However, apart from the standard Four Extremes Tribulation at the beginning, weren't the other two of the three tribulations that befell him forcibly added to his life?

The Primordial Dao Diagram was added to the Holy Body lineage by a mysterious entity.

The nine illusory images of Lin Xiu were added to him by Lin Xiu himself.

Whether it's Lin Xiu now or Lin Xiu in the future, it's definitely Lin Xiu!

......

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

Ye Fan didn't speak, but turned his head and looked at Lin Xiu with a rather resentful look.

Why are you looking at me?

"If you had defeated those nine humanoid lightning bolts, none of this nonsense would have happened?"

Lin Xiu glared back fiercely, leaving Ye Fan stunned.

Depend on!

He was tricked so badly by Lin Xiu, can't he even express his opinion?

You think you can defeat these human lightning bolts? Why don't you go up there yourself?

I curse you to be beaten up by nine... no! A hundred of your own selves during your next tribulation!

Just as Ye Fan was drawing a circle to curse Lin Xiu, a person... no, a dog, stood up firmly!

"Woof! How can you say Ye Fan is useless? That's seriously underestimating him!"

"I don't think Ye Fan will fade into obscurity; I even think he will be reborn!"

The Black Emperor uttered the "strongest" words of support for Ye Fan since Ye Fan underwent his tribulation, which can be said to be completely on Ye Fan's side.

"Oh?"

"Big black dog, do you have a way to solve Ye Fan's problem?"

Qin Yao looked at the Black Emperor, her eyes filled with hope.

She knew that the Black Emperor was the dog of the Great Emperor Wushi. Although Lin Xiu had outstanding deductive abilities, in terms of knowledge, he was probably no match for the Black Emperor.

Just because Lin Xiu can't solve a problem doesn't mean Black Emperor can't!

Black Emperor did not disappoint Qin Yao's expectations and immediately replied loudly:

"I wouldn't say it's a solution, but I can offer a completely new approach!"

"All roads lead to the capital; Ye Fan's current hardships are only temporary."

"In terms of cultivation, he may no longer be able to make any progress."

"But in other areas, he still has a lot of room for improvement!"

"In what aspect?"

Qin Yao suddenly had a bad feeling.

As expected, under Qin Yao's gaze, the Black Emperor spoke again:

"Of course, it's in scientific research!"

"To tell you the truth, the Holy Body is a very peculiar constitution that can be compatible with many other constitutions."
