Chapter 312: Immortal Spirit Eye

Welcome.Novel Search.The third update has arrived.

The girl in blue, like an elf under the night moon, possessed an otherworldly grace, as if she didn't belong to this world, embodying both spiritual essence and beauty.

Expanses of celestial maple trees, a vibrant, dripping green like carved jade, swayed gently, their emerald light flowing. White petals drifted down everywhere with a rustling sound, and a fragrant aroma filled the air, enveloping one in a blissful daze.

"Weiwei!" Ye Fan was very surprised; he had met an old acquaintance.

Weiwei hailed from the Spirit Void Holy Land; it was she who had led Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and others out of the mountains and forests beyond the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Her prodigious talent, rarely seen in a millennium, led the Spirit Void Holy Land to send her to the Splendor Holy Land to further her cultivation. Back then, when Ye Fan had crossed the void from the Southern Domain to the Northern Domain and infiltrated the Splendor Holy Land, Weiwei seemed to have discovered him but did not expose him; she even subtly guided him for a period.

Ye Fan had never expected to meet her here. With a sweep of his sleeve, he instantly tucked the big black dog into it.

"Boy, what do you mean by this?" The big black dog tried to bite him.

"I ran into an acquaintance. Behave yourself, lest you give us away." Recently, they had been out pillaging bandits, and Ye Fan had used the Heaven-Changing Earth-Shifting Great Art to conceal his true appearance. The only potential giveaway was the big black dog.

"You know this woman, pure as crystal and beautiful as an elf?" Tu Fei asked in surprise, then exclaimed, "You beast, you beast! How is it that I keep finding you involved with so many women?"

"Stop your vulgar thoughts. This woman has been kind to me; she saved me before I became a Splendor disciple." They were still far apart, but Weiwei's spiritual perception was extremely keen. She turned her head to look, her gaze radiating light like a jade pearl, illuminating the entire maple forest.

"How do I feel like she recognized you?" Tu Fei's expression showed surprise. He already knew that Ye Fan practiced the Heaven-Changing Earth-Shifting Great Art, so he found it very unexpected.

"Impossible!" Ye Fan thought. "I've changed not only my appearance but also my aura completely. How could she possibly—" Yet, Weiwei truly walked closer. Graceful and elegant, her blue robes fluttering, accompanied by glistening petals, she resembled a celestial fairy treading on waves.

"Could she really see through my true form?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

Tu Fei said, "There are Underworld Eyes in this world, capable of seeing through the netherworld and peering into the underworld. Besides those, there are other types of Heavenly Eyes. Among them, the Immortal Spirit Eye can see through illusions; no matter how you disguise yourself, it can directly perceive your true essence. I suspect this girl most likely possesses the Immortal Spirit Eye. Look at her, pure as an immortal, born with an ethereal aura. This isn't mere simplicity; it's an immortal spirit's demeanor, consistent with legends of those who possess the Immortal Spirit Eye."

"Immortal Spirit Eye..." Ye Fan was surprised.

"Exactly, it must be the Immortal Spirit Eye! Otherwise, how could she see through your Heaven-Changing Earth-Shifting Great Art?" Tu Fei suddenly grew excited and said, "Grab her!" "What are you thinking?" Ye Fan wanted to hit him.

"Don't you know, those born with Heavenly Eyes are favored by heaven," Tu Fei's voice was almost a whisper. "She possesses an immortal spirit's demeanor. If you were to marry her, the benefits would be immense."

"What nonsense! That's absolute rubbish!" Ye Fan slapped him. "No, it's absolutely true!" Tu Fei protested, his face full of envy. "Don't you know, the Void Emperor of the Ji Family achieved his imperial throne precisely because he married a goddess-king? Many people say so."

The Black Emperor, from within Ye Fan's sleeve, couldn't help but retort, "Pipe dreams! Do you think Emperors achieve their positions like that? Ancient Emperors relied solely on their own cultivation!"

Tu Fei argued, saying, "Ancient texts record that a Divine King Body appears in the Ji Family every dozen generations because they are descendants of a goddess-king. This legacy is indestructible, and there's conclusive evidence that the Void Emperor married a goddess-king."

"So, according to you, Emperor Hengyu of the Jiang Family also married a goddess-king?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

"Not exactly. It was one of his descendants who married a goddess-king," Tu Fei said.

The Black Emperor scoffed coldly, "What have future generations misunderstood about this? Marrying a divine king was not for cultivation, but to ensure that divine bodies would occasionally appear among their descendants, thereby protecting the family. Because the Void Emperor deeply understood how difficult it was to achieve the position of a Great Emperor—only a few in history had ever done so—he wouldn't optimistically believe that a single family could produce a second Emperor. That would be unrealistic."

Tu Fei argued, "Then why do some powerful experts also say that marrying a divine body or a woman with an immortal spirit's demeanor offers hope of achieving the Dao?"

"There's only a grain of truth to that claim," the Black Emperor said. "It's because women with divine bodies or immortal spirit's demeanor are favored by heaven and possess an immortal charm. Living with them gives one a feeling of being close to immortals, and occasionally, one might gain some enlightenment. But if you want to achieve the Imperial position, it's absolutely useless."

"So, it's still useful for cultivation?" Tu Fei pressed. "What use is it?" the Black Emperor scoffed. Weiwei had not yet reached them, but Tu Fei and the Black Emperor had already started bickering. Swish!

Weiwei, like a flickering light, like a fleeting shadow, arrived before them. Graceful and elegant, filled with a wise and spiritual aura, she was flawlessly beautiful, without a hint of worldly dust.

"Fairy, do you need something?" Ye Fan still couldn't quite believe that she had recognized him.

Weiwei's teeth gleamed like pearls as she smiled slightly, brightening the entire maple forest. She said, "I've been ordered by my master to capture Ye Fan."

Ye Fan understood. Weiwei had no killing intent; she had truly recognized him.

"Where is Ye Fan? I'm also looking for that scoundrel. He's worth 100,000 jin of Origin Stone!" "The real Ye Fan is hard to find, but there are many fakes," Weiwei said, her lips curling into a slight, somewhat playful and bright smile. "That Daoist Duan suffered terribly last time; if he hadn't produced a black iron token at a crucial moment, he would have been beaten to death. Now, the real Ye Fan is worth 200,000 jin of Origin Stone."

"Hahahaha!" Tu Fei burst out laughing. "That immoral Daoist finally showed his true colors and was recognized—" In recent days, they had been busy pillaging bandits and hadn't paid attention to the outcome of that particular day's events.

"Even if Daoist Duan had boundless magical power, with the Old Roc King's true form arriving, he couldn't escape," Weiwei said. Ye Fan felt that she was intentionally giving him information.

Indeed, Weiwei smiled faintly and said, "The great figures from all the major Holy Lands have gathered at Purple Mountain, intending to unlock the treasure of the Ancient Great Emperor. However, the younger generation and some rogue cultivators are all searching for Ye Fan."

"Oh, who exactly is looking for Ye Fan?" Ye Fan didn't break the unspoken understanding of their acquaintance, keeping it implicitly understood between them.

"Many people, and all of them extraordinary figures," Weiwei replied. "Even the Great Xia Prince from the Central Plains is searching for him, wanting to use the Mother Qi of All Things to forge the divine artifact of the Great Xia Dynasty."

In the Central Plains, there are four immortal imperial dynasties. With legacies spanning over 100,000 years, they have endured countless calamities without decline, remaining exceedingly prosperous. All were founded by Ancient Great Emperors.

Ye Fan had once seen a Great Xia Prince. Enveloped in imperial dragon qi, with nine dragons soaring to the sky, he was comparable to the Splendor Holy Son. Their family's 'Grand Emperor Scripture' was unparalleled in attack, rumored to contend with the Fighting Saint Art.

"Which Great Xia Prince is it?"

"He is frequently in the Holy City of the Northern Domain," Weiwei smiled. "And by his side, there is also a Buddhist Flower-Pinching Maiden."

Ye Fan knew that it was precisely the Great Xia Prince he had seen before. The Buddhist Flower-Pinching Maiden was undoubtedly the little nun in white he had encountered, who was also a Great Xia Princess.

Ye Fan smiled faintly. He was going to the Holy City, and perhaps he would have a grand stone-gambling battle with this Great Xia Prince.

"Currently, the biggest threat to Ye Fan comes from the Ten Great Experts of Splendor," Weiwei informed him.

"The Ten Great Experts of Splendor?"

"Right between An Province and Kun Province," Weiwei casually revealed, "there are ten young Splendor experts searching for Ye Fan. Each one of them is extremely powerful."

"How powerful can they be?" Tu Fei asked.

"They are all disciples trained by Splendor's reclusive elders," Weiwei explained. "Those at the fifth layer of the Dao Palace realm can contend with experts of the Four Extremities Secret Realm, and four or five of them have most likely already reached the Four Extremities Secret Realm themselves."

"That powerful?" Tu Fei was greatly startled. For those at the fifth layer of the Dao Palace to contend with the Four Extremities, and for four or five to already be in the Four Extremities Secret Realm, was truly astonishing.

Ye Fan also frowned and said, "Didn't the younger generation of Splendor only have four experts in the Four Extremities Secret Realm?"

"That was news from a year or two ago," Weiwei replied. "Everyone is progressing, and there will always be dazzling individuals who advance. Furthermore, the disciples taught by the reclusive elders are very low-key and rarely reveal themselves to the world."

"Are these ten experts emerging solely for Ye Fan?" Tu Fei asked.

"The Splendor Holy Son is practically the foremost among his peers in the Eastern Wasteland," Weiwei explained. "With him present, no one else in Splendor would have other ambitions. However, he was suppressed by Ye Fan, and it's hard to say if he'll return alive. Naturally, some Supreme Elders and reclusive elders will support their own disciples to ascend. This time, whoever can capture and kill Ye Fan will add a significant glow to their own prestige."

"How did the Ten Great Young Experts of Splendor find this area between An Province and Kun Province?" Ye Fan asked.

Weiwei smiled faintly and said, "Everyone knows by now that the Ancient Sacred Body needs a massive amount of Origin Stone to advance. When someone extensively pillages bandits, they are naturally suspected. The Ten Great Young Experts of Splendor, who have emerged from the shadows, all desire to contend for the Holy Son's position, so they are naturally the most sensitive to such clues."

"It's a struggle for supremacy," Ye Fan muttered, "but don't let the 'deer' get rid of all the hunters."

Weiwei's immortal spirit aura was ethereal and exceptionally pure. Her eyes were clear, her smile enchanting, and the corners of her lips curled slightly as she said, "Oh, I must go. I'm under my master's orders to capture and kill Ye Fan." Her demeanor before leaving was somewhat playful.

She turned gracefully, her jade-like feet treading on glistening petals, and floated away, leaving only a trace of fragrance behind.

The big black dog impatiently burst out from Ye Fan's sleeve. It looked towards the beautiful figure about to disappear into the depths of the maple forest and said, "This girl is extraordinary. Her immortal spirit aura is very strong; there's an indescribable divine charm about her."

Tu Fei also nodded and said, "She is indeed unusual. Is she trying to use our hands to get rid of Splendor's Ten Great Experts? Does she want to become the Female Holy Master?"

Ye Fan said, "No matter what, she bears no killing intent towards me. She saw through my true form twice, once in the Southern Domain and once in the Northern Domain, and never claimed credit from Splendor."

Tu Fei mused, "That's why I say this girl is extraordinary. I believe, like me, she thinks you can break the curse of the Ancient Sacred Body and enter the Four Extremities Secret Realm."

Ye Fan said, "Since the Ten Great Young Experts trained by Splendor Holy Land's reclusive elders have emerged and come to An Province and Kun Province, I cannot disappoint them. I will eliminate all of these so-called Ten Great Experts and shake the Northern Domain, so they stop treating me as easy prey."

Tu Fei was instantly startled and said, "What are you doing? This is too irrational just to vent your anger!"

Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm doing this to create a false impression among the public. Their attention will be focused on the various oases, while I'm about to enter the Holy City."

"You want to gamble big on the stone materials of the major Holy Lands?" Tu Fei was startled.

Ye Fan had long ago told Tu Fei that he had mastered the 'Origin Heaven Book.' Since Tu Fei had been so helpful, Ye Fan didn't want to conceal anything.

"Exactly. This is an excellent opportunity," Ye Fan said solemnly to Tu Fei. "The important figures from all the major Holy Lands have already gone to Purple Mountain, intending to unlock the Great Emperor's treasure. I will enter the Holy City during this period and gamble big on the stone materials of the major Holy Lands. I need your help. After I enter the Holy City, please create some confusion in the various oases, making people believe I am still pillaging Origin Stones elsewhere."

Ye Fan had mastered the Heaven-Changing Earth-Shifting Great Art. However, for safety, he felt it was better to make more arrangements.

"That's easy to do. We'll set up a smokescreen," Tu Fei laughed. "And surely, these people will keep searching for you full of hope."

"Black Emperor, I also need your help. Occasionally, show yourself in various places, casually carve a formation, and stroll around a bit." Without waiting for its response, Ye Fan said, "You know, after I cultivate the Origin Heaven Book, finding divine Origin Stone will be no problem in the future. Helping me now is helping yourself."

After everything was discussed, Ye Fan looked into the distance and said, "Before I enter the Holy City for the grand gamble, let's first deal with these Ten Great Experts who just emerged. Let's create some ripples in the tranquil Northern Domain."
