Great Xia was an immortal ancient dynasty that had flourished for hundreds of thousands of years.
Great mountains collapsed, rivers dried up, and seas became mulberry fields. As time passed, everything changed.
However, Great Xia was as prosperous as ever. Ever since the emperor of the primordial era created this immortal dynasty, it had never fallen.
It recorded many changes in history and bore many secrets. No one could say for sure.
Ye Fan thought of many things. What happened two thousand years ago? Did Shakyamuni come to this world? What happened between him and the natives? Why did the Great Xia prince's expression change?
If there was a hidden story, one couldn't help but wonder. Great Xia definitely knew all of this. It was an immortal dynasty and should have records of all the major events that happened in this world.
Saint Child Yao Guang smiled warmly. His teeth were sparkling and even his hair was emitting a golden light. He was very easy-going as he looked forward.
"Boundless Celestial Being." Ye Fan chanted and shook his head. "I am a wandering cultivator that travels the world. I heard this by chance and was puzzled. That is why I asked."
He didn't disguise himself as Duan De. At this moment, his figure was tall and his robes fluttered in the wind. His appearance was out of this world. Even though he was young, he had a bit of an immortal charm.
"You are too humble. Can you dispel my doubts? Where did Shakyamuni come from? What kind of existence is he? How much do you know about him?" Saint Child Yao Guang smiled like a spring breeze.
Shakyamuni came from the other side of the starry sky. How could Ye Fan say that? He said, "I only know the name Rulai and don't know anything about his life. Saint Child, why don't you dispel my doubts? What is the origin of this Shakyamuni?"
"Shakyamuni …" Specks of light appeared in Saint Child Yao Guang's eyes. It was clear that these two words had a mysterious power that would cause him to have a different expression every time.
One had to know that people like him and the Great Xia prince wouldn't change their expressions even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them. However, the name Rulai made them feel uneasy.
"I was asking you, but you are asking me in return. You really are watertight." Saint Child Yao Guang smiled warmly and then shook his head.
"I've only heard rumors and don't know the details. I hope that Your Highness will not be stingy in teaching me, Boundless Celestial Being." Ye Fan's sleeves fluttered in the wind.
"This kid really thinks he's a Daoist Priest. But he's quite a fraud," Liu Kou muttered to himself.
"It's all the nun's fault." Li Heishui concluded.
"Heavy taste!" Jiang Huairen was even more concise.
The Alkaid Saint Child's eyes were deep, as if he could see through the sky of history and look into the eternal unknown. He said, "This name has a demonic nature. More than two thousand years ago, there seemed to be a sudden break in time and space. Everything about it no longer exists. I only know that it once existed."
Ye Fan's smile was like the rosy dawn. He nodded to express his understanding, but his mind was filled with countless thoughts. His thoughts were extremely scattered.
What did Tathagata do over two thousand years ago? What kind of traces he left in this world? Were they still there now?
All of this was a mystery, full of unknowns, making one want to get to the bottom of it. He urgently wanted to understand everything.
This was too important to him. The other side of the starry sky, the starry door left by the ancients, and across endless galaxies, where was the destination of this journey?
He had too many questions. Was the coffin pulled by the nine dragons a coincidence, or was he repeating the path of the predecessors? Did Buddha also accidentally come to the other side of the starry sky?
"Tathagata most likely came to this world, but I don't know what terrible changes happened," Ye Fan muttered to himself. He turned to look at the Xia Prince and realized that he was incomparably cold.
Why was he like this? There must be a secret. Sakyamuni made him avoid mentioning it!
Yaoguang Saint Son revealed a peaceful smile and turned to face the prince of Great Xia. "Your Highness, the dragon qi is soaring, and as the son of Great Xia, you should have some understanding of Rulai. I wonder what exactly happened two thousand years ago? Why did everything related to this person disappear into thin air? It's like he never appeared. "
"I also don't know. There are saints in the world of Buddhism. If you want to know, you can ask them yourself." The Xia Prince's expression was indifferent.
At the side, Yao Xi was thinking. She had never heard of the word Tathagata. Obviously, the Saint Child knew more than her. After all, he was the future master of Alkaid. This caused her heart to feel a bit disturbed.
Ye Fan completely calmed down. It was harder to get information from the Saint Child than to climb to the heavens. He obviously wouldn't tell him the secret.
As for the Xia Prince, he couldn't count on him. He hadn't even asked and already had an expression of a giant thousands of miles away.
He felt that he had to go to the Western Desert in the future and go to the legendary Mount Meru to understand the truth.
Of course, before that, he could think of a way to understand a bit more from the pure little nun.
Ye Fan turned his head and looked. It was really just a little nun. Her clothes were as white as snow, and her eyes were pure. Her big black eyes darted here and there. She was very timid. When he turned his head to look, she was hiding behind the Xia Prince like a frightened rabbit.
The Xia Prince frowned. He loved his sister very much. As her brother, he didn't want to see a man like Ye Fan. He always felt that he was trying to seduce his sister.
"Boundless Celestial Being, I am a monk. I sweep the floor without harming the lives of ants. I cherish moths and cover the lantern with gauze. I don't have any mortal thoughts." Ye Fan looked serious, but there was a hidden meaning behind it.
The Xia Prince's face was expressionless, but he was very annoyed. The little nun in white covered her mouth and giggled. She glanced at him with her big black eyes.
"He's addicted to being a Daoist. I think he can compete with that wicked Daoist. Maybe he's another heartless Daoist." Liu Kou equated him with Duan Dekuai.
"Have you heard of Sakyamuni?" Tu Fei asked in a low voice.
"Never heard of it. Those baldies are too mysterious. If it wasn't for the people from the Central Plains coming to the Saint City and mentioning it, I wouldn't even know of such a sect." Li Heishui shook his head.
"I've heard of this sect, but I don't know much about it." Wu Zhongtian frowned. "My grandpa talked about it. It seems that this sect is very powerful. There are some ancient Buddhas in the sect that are unfathomable."
"That's all I know. I don't know anything else." Jiang Huairen shook his head.
Ye Fan's heart was calm. He needed to find out more about Sakyamuni. His thoughts returned to the present. He took light steps and the Dao wind blew. He walked one round. He found that Yao Xi didn't feel anything. She didn't know him at all.
"So, my Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth has been cultivated to a certain level. She can't feel my breath."
Ye Fan's steps were light, and he looked like an immortal. He floated to Yao Xi and said, "Goddess, you are like a lotus flower coming out of the water. You are so beautiful. It's obvious that you have a celestial bone and a natural Daoist body. You are truly a weirdo in our Daoist sect."
Yao Guang Saintess heard him and smiled faintly. She said, "You are flattering me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I am telling the truth." Ye Fan was very serious. He said, "I can feel the breath of an ancient emperor on you. Your cultivation hasn't reached its peak yet, but you have such dense celestial energy. You are definitely not a mortal."
Yao Guang Saintess was surprised. There was a moon palace in between her brows. It was an ancient secret treasure. Its level was hard to determine, and almost no one knew about it. Could this Daoist have felt it?
She said calmly, "You sure know how to joke. I wonder which sect you are from?"
"I am not from any sect, and I am just a wild crane. I came out this time to find an apprentice-nephew," Ye Fan recited.
"I wonder who your apprentice-nephew is? I might have heard of him." Yao Xi didn't believe Ye Fan and thought he was lying.
"Actually, I was going to ask you to find out more about my unruly apprentice-nephew. After all, Yao Guang is a sacred ground of the East Barren Territory." Ye Fan wanted to know more about the unscrupulous Daoist from these sacred grounds' heirs, so he said, "His name is Duan De, and his Daoist name is Wuliang."
"The unscrupulous Daoist is your apprentice-nephew?" Yao Xi looked surprised.
"His behavior is improper, and he is called unscrupulous by others."
"May I ask how old you are, Daoist?" Yao Xi asked.
"I have been cultivating for more than 300 years. Now that I think about it, I have wasted 318 years."
…
"Pfft!"
Not far from them, Li Heishui spat out some wine, and the broken gourd in his hand almost fell to the ground. He cursed, "This brat is a beast!"
"I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen someone as shameless as him. Motherf * cker, he took her bra, and now he is pretending to be a Daoist master, talking about Daoism." Tu Fei cursed him for giving himself away.
"Do you think the Yao Guang Saintess will spit out blood if she knows that brat's real identity? Should we roar at her?" Jiang Huairen smiled.
Wu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Don't mess around."
"What is sanctimonious and what is a beast in human clothing? This is a living example." Liu Kou was indignant and muttered, "What a beast!"
Not far from them, the Yao Guang Saint Son and the Xia Kingdom's prince were walking shoulder to shoulder toward the nine strange stones in the Celestial Stone Square.
The Yao Guang Saint Son was glowing. His fluttering hair had turned gold as if he was made of pure gold. He looked like the God of the Sun descending to the mortal world, as splendid as the Sun.
Wu Zhongtian frowned and said, "I feel like he's a heaven and earth furnace. His Blood Qi is as vigorous as the rolling sea. I'm afraid that the Yao Guang Saint Son is not the strongest warrior of his generation."
Li Heishui and the others discolored. They had invited Wu Zhongtian to help the Yao Guang Saint Son. They didn't want him to give such an evaluation.
Tu Fei sighed. "When he uses the Sacred Light Technique, it's unrivaled. His light can illuminate the entire universe. Everything is purified. It's the real invincible technique. No attacking technique can break it."
Li Heishui looked worried. "His Sacred Light is getting stronger. It's as scorching as the Sun. I think even the God Body can't break it. In this world, I think there's only one attacking technique that can subdue him. Unfortunately, it has been lost forever. "
"You mean the Battle Saint Technique of King God Jiang Taixu, the one with the highest attacking power in five thousand years?!" Tu Fei frowned.
"Yes. Otherwise, the God Body can't tear that kind of Sacred Light. Most likely, it can only be a draw. At his age, he has cultivated this supreme technique to this level. It's really terrifying!" answered Li Heishui.
Jiang Huairen kept silent. Jiang Taixu was his ancestor. Unfortunately, the number one attacking technique had been lost.
"Perhaps, there's another great attacking technique that can break this Sacred Light," said Wu Zhongtian deliberately.
"Is there anything else?" The others were bewildered.
"You guys are confined to the Eastern Barren Territory. You've forgotten about the Central Plains." Wu Zhongtian glanced at the prince of the Great Xia who was walking beside the Yao Guang Saint and said, "The imperial draconic qi of the Great Xia is extremely domineering. It is said to be indestructible and unbreakable. I think it should be able to deal with the Yao Guang Saint."
The Xia Prince's iron clothes sparkled dazzlingly. Dragon Qi twirled around him. People could vaguely see nine real dragons coiling around his body. The dragons' heads were held high on his shoulders. He looked so majestic. He looked like a Heavenly Emperor descending to the mortal world.
"I don't know which one is stronger, the imperial Dragon Qi or King God Jiang's Saint Technique. The people of the Central Plains have always been proud. However, the two have never fought face to face." Tu Fei felt regretful. "It's the greatest regret of all time. I can't see the peak battle of the two great attacking techniques anymore."
At this moment, the Yao Guang Saint Son and the Xia Prince were evaluating the stone materials. The nine strange stones had been there for a long time. This was the first time they had touched them.
At this moment, Ye Fan and Yao Xi were chatting happily. They also walked over. The other bandits sighed and kept muttering, "What a beast in human clothing!"
"Daoist Priest, do you know about Origin Stones?" Yao Xi asked.
"This humble Daoist's knowledge is mixed but not refined. I haven't accomplished anything, but I know a little about the Dao of Origin." Ye Fan smiled.
"I think that Daoist Priest is modest. Why don't you come forward and evaluate these nine stones?" Yao Xi smiled. Her eyelashes fluttered. Her black eyes were like the stars, her jade teeth flashed, and her lips were bright. She was beautiful.
As soon as she said this, the Xia Prince and the Yao Guang Saint Son looked over with different expressions.
The Xia Prince didn't have a good impression of him. Perhaps this was a common problem as an elder brother. He was always afraid that the bad boy would have ideas about his little sister.
The Yao Guang Saint Son smiled calmly. He didn't look like anything. He had a special charm that attracted the gazes of most of the young female cultivators.
The pretty nun was also sneaking glances at Ye Fan. She was full of curiosity. She looked completely innocent.
"Alright then, this humble Daoist will show his incompetence." Ye Fan went forward but didn't reach out. He walked around the nine stones twice.
At this moment, a graceful figure appeared in the jade palace not far away. The Jade Pool Fairy appeared and personally observed Ye Fan. However, she was shrouded by immortal clouds and no one could see her true appearance.
She had been watching silently ever since Ye Fan said the words Tathagata and Sakyamuni. This was something Ye Fan didn't expect.
Ye Fan circled around several times, patting the largest piece and flicking the smallest piece. He said indifferently, "These two pieces of stone, the inner one is sealed with Shenxiu, the rest are all stubborn stones."
Sneers came from all around.
"Boasting shamelessly. Does he really think he's the Yuan Taoist Master? Is the Jade Pool's Immortal Stone so easy to confirm?"
"I think he's talking nonsense. Based on my many years of experience in stone gambling, those two stones are definitely white stones. There's nothing inside."
"There are too many people who think they're infallible. There's no need to pay attention to them."
…
It was no wonder. In the eyes of the crowd, Ye Fan didn't even carefully identify the two stones. He casually knocked them a few times and determined that the two stones contained spiritual beauty. It was indeed a little hard to believe.
"Oh, are you so sure?" The Prince of Great Xia looked over and asked calmly.
"My knowledge is limited. It's just a random comment," Ye Fan said modestly.
The Prince of Great Xia shook his head and said, "If I choose, one of the two stones will be the first choice and the other will be replaced."
Everyone knew that he came for the Jade Pool Holy Maiden. He only commented today, so he was naturally well-prepared.
Ye Fan laughed and said, "How about I make a bet with Your Highness?"
"Oh, what kind of bet?" The Prince of Great Xia asked.
"If I can turn stone into gold, I just want to talk to this little master for a while." Ye Fan pointed at the little nun.
The Prince of Great Xia was very interested at first, but after hearing this, he immediately turned around. He was very sick of it.
The little nun wrinkled her nose and waved her little fist at Ye Fan.
"Master, are you sure that these two stones have spiritual beauty in them?" Yaoguang Saint asked.
"That's just my opinion."
Yao Xi also came forward and said with a smile, "I think you're very knowledgeable."
At this moment, what people didn't expect was that the Jade Pool Holy Maiden actually came in the air. She was like a fairy walking on the waves, light and elegant to the extreme. She brought with her a sparkling rain of sparkling flowers that sprinkled down.
"Master, did you really choose these two stones?" Her voice was like the sound of nature, beautiful and pleasant to listen to.
The surrounding people were all shocked. They never thought that the Jade Pool Holy Maiden would come in person. This was something that had never happened before.
