Chapter 1164: Arrival of Eternity

Chapter 1165: Arrival on Eternal

Under the brilliant starlit sky, only a scream was left, filled with helplessness. Fan Xian's face flushed then paled, but it changed nothing.

Fan Yuntong wanted to pursue them and unleash a massacre, but he suppressed his rage. If he dared to act against the Xianyu Qi family in such a way, Qi Yaoguang would certainly destroy Paradise.

Bathed in light, Ye Fan and Qi Yaoguang arrived on Xianyu Star. Their speed was incredibly fast, and along the way, the Qi family's saints were in high spirits.

"Hey, kid, why are you so quiet? You've had your fill, and now you're a saint?" The old man was being quite improper.

"You're the saint," Ye Fan retorted testily. Recalling the recent events, he felt a real headache.

"Young people truly have good fortune, much stronger than I was back in my day. Quite decisive, aren't you?" Qi Yaoguang chuckled.

"You old geezer, showing no respect for your elders!" Ye Fan rubbed his temples. He had cultivated hundreds of scriptures, his profound techniques reaching god-like levels. Now, after nine transformations, all side effects had vanished.

"Heh, don't say that, little Daoist friend. That was a celestial flower of the starfield, and it just got planted on your pile of cow dung. Tsk, tsk... really!" The old man's words were very unkind.

Ye Fan truly wanted to stomp on him. He turned his back, ignoring him, and began to ponder his next steps.

Qi Yaoguang, clearly speaking from a position of ease, said, "Hey, young man, don't look so full of bitterness and enmity. Anyway, it's not really about who took advantage of whom. After all, you're a living Undying Golden Body, worth the effort and cultivation."

Dark lines appeared on Ye Fan's forehead. Finally, he shot a sidelong glance at Qi Yaoguang and said, "Since senior has put it that way, I think Miss Qi Meng is quite good."

Qi Yaoguang was taken aback and immediately stopped. He sternly warned Ye Fan not to harbor any improper thoughts, or he would be hunted across the entire world. At the same time, he dared not continue to tease him.

"Senior, I'm serious." It was Ye Fan's turn to provoke him.

"Go stand aside! If you annoy me further, I'll destroy your body and soul right now. I don't care if you're a Golden Body or a Sacred Body!" Qi Yaoguang said with a dark expression.

The Qi family residence was located in a primitive mountain range. Below were cities, and above were floating divine islands, scattered like stars, appearing magnificent.

This was Ye Fan's first time entering as a guest, and he received a grand reception. With their Ancestral Saint personally accompanying him, no one dared to find fault.

Ascending a floating ancient city, Ye Fan felt a sense of antiquity and grandeur. This was where the Supreme Immortal Body once secluded himself for cultivation, and it had now become a sacred ancient land revered by all saints.

On the streets, the bluestone slabs were pitted and worn by time. Walking on them, sounds echoed from across millennia. Ye Fan's mind was clear and serene; he found a rare tranquility in this place.

Qi Yaoguang was very cunning. He naturally wanted to obtain the Undying Golden Blood, but he didn't force the issue. Instead, he treated Ye Fan with great care, making no demands.

"Ancestor, he killed Qi Yun, and you're just letting it go?" someone asked unwillingly.

Qi Yaoguang sternly warned his own disciples to improve their relationship with Ye Fan and not to be his enemies. He had seen Ye Fan's potential, believing that if he matured, he might become invincible in the world!

Having such a friend far outweighed their unseemly schemes, provided, of course, that Ye Fan survived and could grow to that realm.

There was one thing Qi Yaoguang hadn't accounted for: one of his descendants was a born blabbermouth. Less than half an hour after their return to the Qi family's immortal city, this person exaggerated and spread the news of the Fan family's double loss – losing both the lady and the troops.

"What? You mean Fan Xian and that ascetic cultivator, under the stars..."

"No way! A divine flower of our Eternal Starfield was just taken like that? That damn ascetic, I'll kill him!"

Outside, there was an uproar!

People from all walks of life, from various factions, were agitated, seeking to verify the news. The Starry Sky Network descended into chaos, with many rioting, unable to accept it.

When Qi Yaoguang found out, he was so furious he wanted to slap his blabbermouth great-grandson to death. His face was covered in black divine patterns. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

"I don't believe it. Just an ascetic from outside our domain, how could he be worthy of our starfield's celestial pearl? It must be a rumor."

"If it's true, I will definitely go... and kill that Undying Golden Body!"

Fan Xian was extremely popular in this starfield. With such a major incident occurring, the younger generation became agitated, causing a huge sensation. Many were eager for action.

As for Paradise, many were absolutely livid. This time, they truly lost both the lady and the troops, gaining nothing.

Ye Fan stayed at the Qi family for several days, utterly refusing to give even a drop of golden blood. He was even afraid of losing a single strand of hair, treating Qi Yaoguang like a thief.

"It's not that I'm stingy, but if you were to resurrect another Golden Body using my genes, identical to me, how could I face that?"

Qi Yaoguang patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I just want a little Undying Golden Blood for cultivation. I absolutely have no such thoughts. Besides, such a replica would have little value and would lack your original divine nature."

Ye Fan looked at him, utterly unconvinced, and resolutely refused to give any. These days, his entire body was clean and flawless, not a single strand or speck falling, for fear that Qi Yaoguang would find an opening.

Finally, as a token of gratitude, he gave the old saint some divine liquid he had obtained from the Immortal Ascension Pool. He hadn't expected it to cause such a stir in the other party; these liquids actually contained a divine mineral.

"Kid, do you really not believe that my Qi family can refine the fourth stage evolution fluid?"

Ye Fan insisted on leaving, and Qi Yaoguang found it difficult to stop him. Although he knew the Undying Golden Body was extremely valuable, after careful consideration, he decided that fostering a good relationship was more appropriate.

Ye Fan needed the fourth stage evolution fluid, but after detailed inquiry, he could only sigh. This substance was too heaven-defying. The Qi family had no problem refining the third stage, but progressing further was almost impossible.

This was because a crucial divine main ingredient that was lacking was simply impossible to collect. It was rumored that four thousand years ago, a piece of such material still existed and was auctioned, but it had long since been depleted.

In the vast heavens, trying to find it oneself would be like searching for a needle in a haystack—possible to encounter but not to seek.

Currently, most of the divine minerals for both Paradise and the Qi family were accumulated over many years or acquired at high cost through exchange. Trying to find them on short notice was too difficult.

These past few days, Qi Yaoguang had been guarding Qi Meng like a wolf, preventing Ye Fan from approaching her, which made Ye Fan roll his eyes.

Before leaving, Ye Fan wanted to see the Supreme Immortal Mirror. This secret treasure was too miraculous, capable of finding him even in a vast crowd, making it truly something to be wary of.

Qi Yaoguang retrieved the secret artifact. It was an ancient mirror, tens of thousands of years old. From its antiquity flowed wisps of immortal energy, revealing its profound mystery.

"You can rest assured," Qi Yaoguang said with a slight smile. "There is only one such treasure mirror on Eternal Main Star. Apart from this, no one can see through your false body."

This mirror was truly magical. As long as its light fell and enveloped a person, no matter how they tried to conceal or hide, they would have nowhere to escape.

Xianyu Star was quite small, not very large, so the mirror's light could spread and illuminate all parts of it. If it were on Eternal Main Star, it wouldn't be as effective.

The Qi family was half-owner of Xianyu Star, so they could act without many qualms, scanning all cities without issue. Leaving this place, however, would not be as simple.

Ye Fan stroked his chin. He felt relieved. This mirror could not deduce heavenly secrets; its light was merely mysterious. He had only been exposed last time because the light beam swept over him. If the area were vast enough, or if he avoided it beforehand, the mirror would be ineffective.

That day, Ye Fan departed. The Qi family helped him construct a stargate in the outer domain, leading directly to the Eternal Realm. This saved him the trouble of finding his own way and traversing vast distances.

"Be careful," Qi Yaoguang said. "The Cao family has sworn to take your divine blood and sever your life soul. Our Qi family has been under immense pressure these past few days."

He remained calm as he sent Ye Fan on his way, silently and imperceptibly taking a broken strand of his hair into his hand.

Ye Fan immediately sensed it. At close range, he was certainly no weaker than a saint. He deliberately provoked the old man, saying, "Senior, when are you going to arrange a match between me and Sister Qi Meng?"

"Scram!" Qi Yaoguang's face twitched, looking like he wanted to hit someone.

Ye Fan flicked his finger, and the strand of hair turned to ash. Then, without looking back, he rushed into the stargate and disappeared.

The spatial passage was dark. After an unknown period, Ye Fan burst out. Ahead lay a colossal star, from which an awe-inspiring divine aura surged overwhelmingly.

It was incredibly vast, countless times larger than Xianyu Star. It seemed as if a living true god was dormant, sleeping on this ancient star, causing those who faced it to tremble.

This was the Eternal Main Star!

In terms of sheer grandeur, it could definitely rival Beidou's life-bearing ancient star. It had existed for an unknown number of years, seemingly having truly given birth to deities, just as the legends claimed.

Ye Fan was very cautious, concealing himself with the Heaven-Deceiving Array patterns and merging into the void using a Heavenly Court secret technique. He then flew towards the great star, not wanting to be discovered as soon as he approached.

Finally, he successfully landed and stood on the great star, immediately feeling a wild and vast aura surge towards him.

The mountains shook and the earth trembled as a group of ancient beasts, each as large as a small hill, charged through the jungle ahead, crushing many giant trees.

This was a world where gods had been born, boundless and without limits. Great mountains towered, long rivers rushed, and the landscapes were infinitely grand. Many species were completely unheard of and unseen.

Ye Fan traversed what felt like millions of miles, finally emerging from the great wilderness. He cautiously inquired, slowly gathering information, truly realizing how immense the power of some major factions was.

Yuancheng was a colossal city with a long history, preserved since ancient times. Its buildings included both ancient and modern styles, making it very complex and unique.

There were no excessively tall buildings here; otherwise, all the ancient halls and structures would be overshadowed by modern architecture. Now, it appeared more classical.

Ancient castles, crystal cities, gardens, and modern villa districts were combined, creating a pleasing sight. This was one of the Eternal Main Star's ten famous cities, where major powers from all sides had established their presence, making it a mixed ancient holy city.

"Is it similar to Earth's entertainment industry?"

He was truly speechless. No wonder Cao Qing would pursue someone from Eternal Main Star all the way to Paradise. It seemed the "celebrity beauty" effect wasn't limited to just one end of the starry sky; it was the same everywhere.

Ye Fan walked aimlessly down the streets, which retained an ancient aura, constantly impacted by the alternating modern and classical elements. Along the way, he saw the footprints of an ancient Great Saint left on a bluestone, the ruins of ancient castles where descendants of gods once resided, and even modern theaters.

Suddenly, a fierce and tragic aura rushed towards him. Ahead, it seemed as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping, and the murderous intent made even him tremble.

Ye Fan quickly looked. It was a vast gladiatorial arena, where every colossal stone was engraved with Dao runes, bearing the marks of time.

Many people stopped, because a large advertisement had just been posted, announcing a stunning grand showdown there in three days – a clash of super-powerful divine physiques.

Ye Fan was petrified on the spot. He saw one of the participants in the advertisement, and although it was only a side profile, he could almost confirm it was an old acquaintance!
