Ye Fan's body was as light as an immortal's. Like a cool breeze, he returned to the stone stronghold.
Seeing him return, Zhang Wuye pulled him to a secluded place and said, "Something's happened."
"What's wrong?" Ye Fan asked.
"Wang Shu and Dumbo have been behaving strangely ever since they went out with you. Their frontal bones have been glowing these days, and they've gained extraordinary strength …" Zhang Wuye frowned, revealing a worried expression.
"Bloodline awakening?" Ye Fan was astonished. "Take me to them."
"I didn't dare let them go out these days. They've been locked up in the house. Apart from the strange power, nothing bad has happened." Zhang Wuye accompanied Ye Fan to Dumbo's house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Fan felt an exuberant vitality. That's right, boundless vitality. It was as if he had arrived at a land of abundant vegetation.
"Brother Ye, you're here." Dumbo's little sister smiled sweetly. She was a very delicate and pretty girl.
"Is your brother alright?" Zhang Wuye asked her to lead the way.
"He's fine. He's sleeping soundly like a lazy pig." The Lei family's little girl pouted.
Snoring came from inside the house. Dumbo was sprawled on the brick bed, sleeping soundly. His frontal bones were like precious jade, shining brightly.
Divine power!
It was definitely divine power!
Ye Fan was astonished. Not long ago, Dumbo was an ordinary person, but now he had such great power.
His frontal bones were almost transparent. Gentle light overflowed and flowed to every part of his body, baptizing Dumbo's flesh and blood.
Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh. Different races had different achievements and starting points. This was an innate divine power, an innate power.
If human cultivators wanted to possess divine power, they had to train hard to open the door to their own treasures. However, some tyrannical races that had disappeared long ago were born with divine power. This was an unattainable starting point.
"Brother … wake up." The Lei family's little girl pinched Dumbo's nose and shook him awake.
"Is it time to eat?" Dumbo was still in a daze, and the light from his frontal bones grew even brighter.
"Lei Bo, how do you feel? Is there anything wrong with your body?" In the Lei Clan, Ye Fan directly called him by his name instead of calling him by his nickname.
"Little brother Ye, you're here." Dumbo turned around and sat up, saying, "I don't feel any discomfort. In fact, I feel so full of power that I could break rocks."
Ye Fan nodded. In Dumbo's current state, he could not only shatter boulders, but his Divine Power was comparable to that of a Celestial Bridge Cultivator. It would not be a problem for him to split open a mine.
"Why did your body undergo such a change?" Ye Fan asked.
"Come, let's go to my house. I'll cook a few good dishes. We can talk while we eat and drink," Zhang Wuye said. There were some things that couldn't be said in detail in front of Dumbo's family.
"Alright, I love the lamb chops made by Fifth Elder the most." Dumbo was so happy that it was as carefree as ever.
Wang Shu had also undergone the same change. He was called to Zhang Wuye's house by Ye Fan, and the few of them chatted while eating.
"Did you guys undergo such a change because you touched the nine rocks that day?" Ye Fan asked, not at all worried.
Many generations had passed, and these two families had long since assimilated into humans instead of other races. It was just that special children would occasionally appear. Apart from being born with Divine Power, there were no other abnormalities.
"Yes. After returning, it was as if a piece of paper had been torn open in my body. There was warm 'water' surging all over my body. It was very comfortable."
Ye Fan was speechless. Divine Power was like water. This was not just an ordinary kind of strength. This was the revival of an ancient bloodline, a gift from the heavens.
"Bite your finger and let me take a look."
Those with the surname Lei and Wang naturally knew that there was something special about their ancestors, but they didn't know if they were humans. Without any hesitation, the two of them pricked their fingers and sprinkled a few drops of blood.
"It's bright in the red, with a faint silver flicker. This kind of talent is admirable and enviable." Ye Fan nodded.
Their blood only had a trace of silver light, which was far from pure silver blood, but they already had such Divine Power. It was imaginable how powerful their ancestors were.
"I'm afraid they were also in a high position among the ancient creatures, or even royalty." Ye Fan thought to himself. He couldn't say this kind of thing out loud.
"Little Brother Ye, are we okay?" Wang Shu asked suspiciously, more or less worried.
"We won't become monsters, will we?" Dumbo also scratched his head. It was obvious that they had heard some legends about their ancestors.
"This is a good thing. You don't have to worry." Ye Fan carefully examined them and found that their frontal bones were very mysterious. They were connected to the origin in their heads.
His divine sense was so powerful that it forcibly broke into their sea of consciousness. He found that they had completely human characteristics, so he wasn't worried that they would become ancient creatures.
Compared to this, what shocked Ye Fan the most was the nine pieces of stone from the Jade Pool. The things sealed inside had stimulated Wang Shu and Lei Bo's Divine Power. It was most likely similar to their bloodlines.
"Is this really a good thing? Can we also fly in the sky in the future?" Both of their eyes shone with hope.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded. "If you're willing, you can do it now."
"Really? How do we do it?" The two of them didn't even have time to eat and asked Ye Fan to teach them.
"This …" Zhang Wuye looked worried.
"Don't worry, old man. This is really a good thing." Ye Fan sent the two of them to the courtyard and said to Zhang Wuye, "They've long been assimilated into the human race. It's just that their talent has been awakened. Don't worry, they'll be able to protect the stone stronghold in the future."
Wang Shu and Dumbo's frontal bones were like a door that was connected to the mysterious origin. Divine Power nourished their bodies. They were no different from cultivators of the Celestial Bridge Tier.
Ye Fan taught them how to use their Divine Power. The two of them quickly left the ground, and a silver fog enveloped them. They swayed and flew into the sky.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
The two of them fell from the sky. Ye Fan rushed over and caught them. Their strength was comparable to a Celestial Bridge Tier cultivator. If they fell to their deaths like this, it would be too much of a joke. They would probably be recorded as negative examples in the history of cultivation.
"Don't fly so high. Practice three feet above the ground. When you've completely mastered it, I'll teach you other skills."
From that day onwards, the people in the stone stronghold saw the two of them shouting and flying around.
From that day onwards, no one called Dumbo by his nickname anymore. They started to call him by his real name, Lei Bo.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Fan consolidated the divine treasure in his heart and studied the Book of Origin at the same time. He had already mastered the Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth. Of course, it was limited to changing his appearance and temperament.
He still had a long way to go to change the appearance of the mountains and rivers. He needed to cultivate that kind of great Original Art to the later stage to master it.
During this time, he kept an eye on the Jade Lake Saintess' movements. Just as Tu Fei had said, she was walking around the cities in the Northern Region.
"Seems like she won't return to the Jade Lake in a short time." Ye Fan decided to increase his realm and cultivate the Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth to a profound level. Otherwise, if he gave himself away, he would be in big trouble.
Now that he had completely comprehended the first chapter of the Book of Origin, he decided to "sweep the Source." One thousand kilograms of Source was a big sum. It would be difficult to collect it from the big gambling houses in Flat Rock City.
However, if he could collect it, his Original Art would advance by leaps and bounds. He wouldn't fail in those gambling houses at the bottom level.
"Not good …" Suddenly, a villager came to find Ye Fan in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Ye Fan woke up from his meditative state. He didn't wait for the villager to say anything before he sensed that something was wrong with the village.
"Hurry, go and save Zhang Wuye. He's about to be beaten to death." The villager who came to deliver the message looked anxious and flustered.
Ye Fan stood up, took one step, and disappeared instantly. In the blink of an eye, he was already outside the village.
Zhang Wuye's hair was disheveled, and his cheeks were swollen with clear blue fingerprints. The corners of his mouth and chest were stained with blood. Apparently, someone had slapped him.
"How could you do this?!" The young men in the village all took out their scimitars, confronting the people in front of them and shouting.
"What's wrong?" Several young men stood in front of them. They were indifferent and didn't put the people in the stone village in their eyes.
"What right do you have to beat people?"
"This old man refused a toast only to drink a forfeit. The Blue Cloud Sect invited him to find the Source Ore, but he dared to find an excuse to refuse. I think he's out of his mind," a young man said indifferently with a cold smile on his face.
Not far away, there were some old people who looked very familiar. It was obvious that they had been abducted from the nearby villages.
"This old thing really has a certain amount of prestige. He only suffered a few slaps, and you want to risk your lives for him. If he was beaten to death, what would you do?" The few young men ridiculed.
"You …" The young men in the village were furious. They raised their long blades and walked forward, saying, "You've gone too far!"
"What? What kind of storm do you think you can create? If you want to court death, come forward. " The few young men swept their eyes over the crowd, and all of them revealed a look of disdain. One of them even raised his palm high and slapped Zhang Wuye's shining white head.
"Slap!"
It was a very loud slap. However, it wasn't on Zhang Wuye's face, but on his own face.
Ye Fan rushed over with an indifferent expression. He helped Zhang Wuye up and operated his life essence to stabilize and slowly heal his injuries.
"You … who are you?!" The Blue Cloud Sect disciple who had been slapped in the face was stunned. He roared, "You're courting death!"
"Slap!"
With a backhand slap, Ye Fan sent him flying again.
"Who's causing trouble? We're back!" Wang Shu and Lei Bo shouted as they flew back from the horizon.
Over the past half a month, Ye Fan had taught them flying techniques and some simple combat skills. The two of them had been diligently cultivating. After all, their foundations were there. Their talent had just awakened, and they were already comparable to Divine Bridge Cultivators. They had abundant divine power, so everything was going smoothly.
"Kill them all. Don't let a single one of them go!" Ye Fan instructed the two of them, saying, "It's not enough to just cultivate. You have to experience life and death as well as the test of blood."
He was sick and tired of this sect. First, they supported Beard Chen to plunder, then Liu Chengen and Liu Chengwang intercepted them, and now they actually came to act tyrannically.
Dumbo's eyes immediately turned red. He saw a familiar face among the few people who had once appeared with Beard Chen.
"Damn bandits, they're really supported by the Blue Cloud Sect. I'll fight it out with you. Give me back my sister's life …" he roared and pounced forward like a beast.
Wang Shu was afraid that something would happen to him, so he followed and charged forward.
"You two peasants dare to go against the Blue Cloud Sect?!" The few young people were fierce in appearance but weak in heart. How could they not see how powerful Ye Fan was? At this moment, they brought up the sect to threaten him.
"Blue Cloud Sect …" Ye Fan looked at the palm print on Zhang Wuye's face, then suddenly turned around and said, "There's no need for this sect to exist anymore!"
"You … arrogant!" One of them sneered and said, "If you harm us, all the cultivators within a radius of five hundred miles will hunt you down!"
"Poof!"
With a light flick of Ye Fan's finger, this person's head was directly crushed, and his corpse fell to the ground. This was the only Divine Bridge Cultivator. The others were only at the Life Spring Realm.
"Kill them all, don't let a single one go." Wang Shu and Dumbo Lei Bo could completely deal with the remaining people. Even if their moves were limited and they didn't know how to use tools, their surging divine power and brute force were not something that those people could resist.
Screams were heard.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding. That bastard just now is the headmaster's grandson. He's used to being domineering. It has nothing to do with us."
Unfortunately, the begging came too late. Dumbo's eyes were bloodshot. Thinking of his sister, he almost went crazy.
These people couldn't escape even if they wanted to. Wang Shu and Dumbo gritted their teeth and quickly killed all of them.
"They're from the Blue Cloud Sect. If they retaliate, our stone village can't resist." Some people in the village were worried.
"It doesn't matter. This sect will no longer exist in the future." Ye Fan said calmly. He already knew that the Blue Cloud Sect was only a small sect. The highest realm in the sect had only cultivated into the Holy Palace Secret Realm. At most, they had cultivated to the level of one or two gods.
"Bring these people into the village first. After we've dealt with the Blue Cloud Sect, we'll let them go." Ye Fan pointed to several old people in other villages.
The Blue Cloud Sect could be called a tumor. Ye Fan decided to remove it.
"I think such a sect should have a thousand kilograms of source. If we take it down, I can immediately go to the next level …" Ye Fan laughed involuntarily. With such a decision, he seemed to be getting closer to the 13 Great Bandits.
"I don't rob mortals. I only want to remove the tumor. This isn't considered evil."
Before Ye Fan could take action, just one day later, the people of Blue Cloud Sect came to his door.
On the second day, as soon as he walked out of the stone village, he was ambushed. A cultivator of the Nirvana Realm led nine cultivators of the Celestial Bridge Realm to attack him with weapons.
"Your noses are really sharp. You've found me so quickly."
"So, the missing people of my Blue Cloud Sect were killed by you?" One of them asked.
"So you don't know. Why did you attack me?"
"You're suspicious. You don't look like someone from the stone village, but you have extraordinary cultivation. Naturally, we have to take you down for questioning."
"What a big tone. You can attack me just like that?!" Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Reckless."
"Who dares to attack my Blue Cloud Sect? I wonder who is reckless!" The cultivator of the Nirvana Realm ordered the nine cultivators of the Celestial Bridge Realm to surround and kill Ye Fan.
"Why bother? I'll send you all on your way!" Ye Fan waved his sleeves and took in the nine cultivators of the Celestial Bridge Realm. He floated like a fairy.
"You …" The cultivator of the Nirvana Realm was shocked.
"You too." Ye Fan stretched out his big hand and pressed down like a five-finger mountain.
All the weapons of the cultivator of the Nirvana Realm were crushed by the palm and fingers. He himself fell into the big hand.
At the back, Wang Shu and Dumbo were dumbfounded and felt that it was unbelievable.
"This is nothing. This is just the operation of Taoist power. I can easily display it when I enter the secret realm of the Doctrine Palace."
Of course, it was impossible for others to display it with such power.
"Let's go to the Blue Cloud Sect."
"Are we really going to destroy this sect?" Wang Shu was stunned.
"Only the leader will be killed. The rest will stay. I've decided to build a sect. The Blue Cloud Sect is a ready-made foundation. "Ye Fan took the two of them and rose into the sky.
"Start a sect?" Dumbo muttered.
"What for?" Wang Shu asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's useful."
Not long after, Ye Fan arrived at the Blue Cloud Sect, located in an oasis.
"Who dares to trespass into the Blue Cloud Sect?!" A loud shout came from the front.
Green mountains and clear waters were rare in this desolate northern region. The Blue Cloud Sect had such a spiritual land, which was indeed extraordinary.
"Go and tell your headmaster that I want to start a sect here and ask him to move."
The people guarding the mountain gate were all dumbfounded. Then, they shouted, "You … Did you eat a bear's heart and leopard's gall?!"
