They had been separated for more than a hundred years, and now they met again. It was as if they were in a dream. The two opened their eyes, slightly dazed. It felt so unreal.
"I'm back." Ye Fan nodded. He was also deeply moved.
In his eyes, the two of them were still children. But after all, many years had passed. The two of them had long since become saints. Time had changed too much.
Ye Tong shouted. He finally confirmed that this was real and not a dream. But soon, he groaned in pain. Cracks appeared on his body and blood splashed out.
"Brother, it's really you …" Jiang Ting's eyes were filled with tears. She had thought it would be difficult to see him again. She had never thought that the moment she opened her eyes, that familiar face and strong figure appeared again.
"Master …" Ye Tong endured the pain and choked with sobs.
"Don't cry. It's no big deal. None of this counts for anything." Ye Fan consoled. He was talking about the current situation, but he knew that these were tears of joy and excitement.
The two of them could not come out at all in the imperial formation. That day, they had escaped here and been sucked in. Ye Fan shouted at the cocoon of light, "Fatty Duan, let them out."
Although all the signs indicated that Duan De might be an ancient Celestial Being with intelligence, Ye Fan could not feel any respect for this unscrupulous Daoist. As before, they treated each other as equals.
"So noisy. If you dare to shout again, I'll dig up your ancestral graves." A shout came from the cocoon of light.
This shout immediately silenced the scene. Ye Tong and Jiang Ting looked at each other. They had lived here for so many years and had never heard Daoist Duan speak. How come he had woken up so quickly?
As for the Golden Lion King, Gu Jinpeng, Black Bear Saint, and the others, they were dumbfounded. Who was this master? Even his threats were so unconventional. It really made them speechless.
Even Ye Fan was a bit startled. He had only said it casually. He had not thought that Duan De would really wake up and say such words. He shouted, "Since you're awake, why haven't you come out yet?"
"Wicked Daoist, I'm back. Let's see if you're still alive. If you can't, I'll bury you." Longma laughed and taunted from the side.
"I hid in this place, but you found me. I can't live in peace," Fatty Duan cursed. The giant cocoon trembled and refused to come out.
With a hum, light flashed. Ye Tong and Jiang Ting were teleported out of the imperial formation. It was obvious that Duan De was in charge here.
"I can't get out of seclusion yet. I reckon I'll have to sleep for a few more years. The Immortal Ascension Path is about to open, and I haven't completed my metamorphosis. If I go out, I'll definitely be asking for trouble," Duan De mumbled.
The Black Emperor had once said that Duan De broke down and established, and then broke down, repeating the cycle. Regardless of whether it was his physical body or primordial spirit, he had experienced many tribulations, and his background was great.
"Kid, you … you're back!" Duan De seemed as if he'd just awoken from a dream, and he was slightly dazed as he said eagerly, "What did you encounter on the way to actually come back alive?"
"What are you talking about? Don't tell me you want me to die outside?" Ye Fan replied impatiently. He then tempted, "I saw the Demonic Emperor's Tomb on the ancient road and saw the Human Sovereign. Are you interested in going there?"
"Immeasurable, that Celestial Being, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Duan De seemed to wake up. He softly chanted to remind himself, "Calm down, everything else is just fleeting clouds. I am the only one who is true. I won't be swayed."
Ye Fan laughed loudly, expressing his disdain for such a self-deceiving attitude.
Longma was even more direct. He told Fatty Duan that they had entered the Demonic Emperor's Tomb and entered the Ancient Celestial Being's Sea of Bitterness.
"You obtained the Ancient Celestial Being's Divine Spring Elixir?" Fatty Duan seemed to be very anxious. "Give me some immediately and sprinkle it on the cocoon."
Ye Fan had originally come to find a disciple, but Fatty Duan had interfered and became the center of attention. The cocoon struggled, wanting nothing more than to rush over.
Ye Fan could tell that the Ancient Celestial Being's Divine Spring Elixir was very important to Duan De. He didn't say anything else and immediately took out a jade bottle and tossed it into the cocoon. There was no emperor formation to stop it.
With a crashing sound, the jade bottle shattered and all of the crystalline liquid splashed onto the cocoon. It was like a raging flame, making the cocoon even more dazzling.
"Immeasurable, that Celestial Being's killing intent is too strong. It's almost burning me to death. Could it be that the Spirit Treasure Celestial Being's Divine Spring is too domineering?" Fatty Duan snorted.
"Grave robber, when are you coming out of seclusion? We've already encountered the Demon Emperor's Tomb on the Ancient Road of Humanity. There should be other ancient roads as well. I'd like to invite you to be our technical guide. How about we do something big?" Longma asked.
"Don't tempt me," Duan De said hatefully. "I really want to go, but I don't want to miss the Path of Immortalization. I won't leave Big Dipper. Alright, hurry up and disappear. I'm going into seclusion. I'm going to sleep. "
After saying this, he stopped moving. He was like a worm in a cocoon waiting to transform into a butterfly, waiting for the day of its awakening.
Little Que 'er's injuries were not ordinary. There was a terrifying Buddhist power roaming around her that she couldn't get rid of. However, after Ye Fan's domineering energy rushed in, it gradually dissipated.
"Divine Child … I'm much better. I don't need to use my origin power anymore." Little Que 'er opened her eyes, looking much more spirited than before.
Ye Fan nodded and tapped on her forehead. A spell immediately appeared in the depths of her consciousness. "With this secret art, you won't have to worry about injuries in the future."
"This is …" Little Que 'er was confused at first, but she soon revealed a shocked expression. That was because a paragraph of text had appeared in her consciousness. The title of the text was — Secret Art of Swordsman.
Ye Tong's injuries were also severe. He was cursed by the Golden Crow Clan. He had tried to destroy his own body several times, but he couldn't get rid of the curse. This power had entangled his primordial spirit.
Ye Fan's hands moved, and a powerful blood qi filled the air. He let out a clear whistle and instantly entered Ye Tong's body, cleansing and removing the curse. He then tapped on Ye Tong's forehead and imparted the Secret Art of Swordsman to him.
Little Que 'er and Ye Tong sat cross-legged and recovered on their own. Divine power surged throughout their bodies.
"Big Brother, how have you been all these years? Was it dangerous to compete on the Ancient Road?" Jiang Ting asked. Concern was written all over her face, and her heart was incomparably excited. Being able to reunite with him made her feel very unreal.
She was also injured, but they weren't very serious. However, Ye Fan still treated her and removed the curse power. He also imparted the Secret Art of Swordsman to her.
"On the Ancient Road, there were bitter battles, but there were also rewards. It was an unforgettable period …" Ye Fan recounted his experiences over the years. At the same time, he also asked Little Ting about her situation.
Little Que 'er and Ye Tong had also woken up. After their old injuries were removed, they were in high spirits and many times more spirited than before.
Reuniting was always a joyous occasion. Everyone had endless things to talk about as they talked about their experiences over the years. The general situation was more or less the same as what Ye Fan knew.
At present, they couldn't go to the Heavenly Village because they didn't know the exact coordinates of the outer realm. They had lost the Black Empress, and since they were in the Big Dipper, they couldn't go back.
Killing Saint Qi Luo sought justice for Ye Tong, but in the end, he was heavily injured by the Golden Crow Clan and went into hiding. Dongfang Ye, Yan Yixi, and the others should be fine. They might be recuperating in the Southern Mountains Barbarian Tribe.
What made people more worried was Huahua. Several batches of people had gone to rescue her, but all of them had failed. Moreover, Li Heishui, Li Tian, and Little Que 'er had almost met with misfortune.
"They attacked the Buddhist Sect and suffered heavy casualties. The waters of Mount Meru are unfathomable." Little Que 'er had personally participated. The Heavenly Village could also be considered extremely powerful, but they had almost been destroyed in the Western Desert.
"They saved my disciple. I must go and demand an explanation." Ye Fan told them to set their minds at ease.
In short, his eldest disciple was safe and sound, which made him feel half relieved. Next, he began to consider going to the Western Desert to ascend Mount Meru and rescue Huahua.
"They've gone too far. When I come out of seclusion, I'll personally meet them and dig up all the great tombs of the Buddhist ancestors and Buddhist grandchildren." The voice naturally came from the cocoon of light in the imperial formation. Everyone was speechless.
"Close your seclusion." Ye Fan stood up and led his disciples away.
"If you really want to attack Mount Meru and raze the Tempest Temple to the ground, inform me when the time comes. I'll go and help. I seriously suspect that there's something good buried under Mount Meru!" Duan De's nature was hard to change.
The world was instantly in an uproar when Ye Fan appeared in the world with Little Que 'er and rescued his disciple, Ye Tong.
The strength of the human race's Divine Physique made all the saints fearful. He had found his disciple so quickly and destroyed the Golden Crow bloodline. Anyone would be afraid.
Ye Fan did not hide his tracks. At this level, he was upright and fearless. Of course, the most important thing was to tell Li Tian, Li Heishui, and Dongfang Ye where he was so that they could reunite.
"You guys wait for me here." Ye Fan landed on the ground in the southern region. He raised his head and looked at the one hundred and eight mountain peaks in the distance. It was a magnificent scene. That was the Taixuan Sect.
Ye Fan entered the Taixuan Sect alone and ascended to the Humble Peak. Weeds grew everywhere and ancient temples collapsed. It was still desolate.
On a stone platform, a thin middle-aged man sat cross-legged. His aura was not very strong and he was very calm. He was comprehending his own laws and path.
"Wenchang," Ye Fan called.
"Ye Fan, it's really you. The rumors are true. You've really returned!" Zhang Wenchang opened his eyes. He was very shocked. He invited Ye Fan to the stone platform and handed him a praying mat.
They hadn't seen each other for many years. The two naturally had endless things to talk about. They only calmed down after a long time.
"Where's Senior Li?" Ye Fan asked.
"Master has been missing for almost a hundred years. I guess he might have entered the starry sky," Zhang Wenchang said.
Ye Fan started. Could it be that he would meet this old friend in the future on the Emperor's Path?
"Wenchang, your cultivation level …"
"Great circle of Dragon Transformation," Zhang Wenchang replied.
When Ye Fan heard this, he really didn't know what to say. He had long seen through Zhang Wenchang's cultivation level. It was just that he really didn't dare to believe that so many years had passed and the world had changed so much. This old classmate of his could actually still be so 'calm'.
Zhang Wenchang himself was very open-minded. He said, "At least I'm much stronger than mortals. I can also fly in the sky and tunnel underground. It's very convenient for me to travel. In addition, the cultivation art of the Humble Peak is special. The suppression in the early stages is very strong. I'm prepared to spend 400 years tempering the Sea of Reincarnation, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and Dragon Transformation Realm. After that, I'll think of a way to break through to immortal foundation. "
Ye Fan had an urge to vomit blood. This old classmate of his was too calm and steady. He was actually prepared to spend 400 years in the Dragon Transformation Realm. He wasn't the slightest bit anxious. This was the essence of Li Ruoyu.
Honestly speaking, when Ye Fan heard this, he didn't know how to persuade him. He really didn't know what to say.
"In that case … let's take it slow. Keep these well. " Ye Fan gave him a bottle of life spring divine liquid from the Ancient Celestial Being. After that, he left behind the scroll of the Great Dao of Nature and passed it to him.
The scroll of the Great Dao of Nature had once been given to Li Ruoyu. In the end, Ye Fan took it away when he became a saint. Now, it was like a cycle. Ye Fan once again sent this scroll to the Humble Peak.
When he left the Humble Peak, Zhang Wenchang sent him off. Ye Fan inclined his head. Not far away, the Stellar Peak was still radiating with radiance. He thought of Hua Yunfei, he was precisely from there.
All of a sudden, Ye Fan's expression stiffened. He saw a child about eight or nine years of age standing on a small mountain beside the Stellar Peak. The child had delicate features and was strumming a zither in his hands. This child bore a great resemblance to Hua Yunfei, it was like the walls were carved from the same mold.
Ye Fan personally killed Hua Yunfei and saw some scenes before his death. The greatest wish of this person was to return to the past, yet become a carefree zither attendant.
