Ji Ziyue floated over like a purple cloud. Her hair reached her waist, and her skin was whiter than snow. Her smile was very cute, and her eyes were almost curved into crescent moons. Her dimples appeared, and she had a hint of mischievousness and slyness.
Ji Haoyue was just like his name. He was like a divine moon, and there was a faint radiance overflowing from his body. The Divine King Physique and his life had a special aura that made people feel like they were facing a god.
"Sister Ziyue …" Yao Xi also had a very moving smile. Her slim body was like a piece of divine jade, and there were specks of divine light. She went over and held Ji Ziyue's hand.
"Sister Yao Xi, long time no see." Ji Ziyue smiled very sweetly.
Ji Haoyue also nodded in greeting, "I didn't expect Fairy Yao to come to Li City."
"I just came to take a look. Brother Haoyue, I'm afraid you came here to get it, right?" Yao Xi's eyes wandered. As the Alkaid Saintess, she was also very flirtatious. She said, "Your arrival will most likely make many people nervous. Once the Divine King Physique appears, many experts will have to retreat."
Ji Haoyue shook his head, "Everything depends on fate. Everyone wants a priceless treasure, but I'm afraid most people will be disappointed. I don't have too much hope either."
"This is …" Ji Ziyue was a little surprised to see Ye Fan again. She always felt that this little Daoist was a little special, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Yao Xi smiled, "This is the famous Daoist Duan. I don't know this little Daoist."
"This humble Daoist is Zhengde." Ye Fan answered.
Duan De glanced at him and said, "So, we're both from the De generation."
"Duan De, you can't be that heartless Daoist, right?" Ji Ziyue's small mouth formed an "O" shape, and her long eyelashes trembled.
"This humble Daoist is Duan De, people call me the Righteous Daoist." Duan De recited his Daoist name. He looked solemn, and he looked like an otherworldly expert.
Yao Xi pursed her lips and smiled. Her pretty face was bright, and she said, "No matter what title he has, he must be the person you think he is."
"Alright, so it's you!" Ji Ziyue looked at him angrily.
Ji Haoyue's expression darkened as well. "Daoist Duan De, you've been to Jishui several times and spied on my family's ancestor cemetery. What's the meaning of this?"
Ye Fan was somewhat dumbfounded. This fat Daoist was truly audacious to the extreme. He even set his sights on Ji Family's ancestral grave. Was he not afraid of being slapped to death?
"Limitless Celestial Being, Ji family's future Godly King, you can't wrong me." Duan De said righteously, "Ji Water has been flowing for hundreds of thousands of years. Although it's a famous Ji, it doesn't belong to your Ji Family. I passed by occasionally but was beaten up by your Ji Family. Life is really helpless."
"We don't object to you passing by Ji Shui, so why do you keep looking at our Ji Family's mausoleum?" Ji Ziyue asked.
"This Daoist saw many mausoleums and grand auras, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances. Thinking back to ancient times, the Void Monarch was immortal and invincible. He wanted to compete with the heavens. This Daoist was filled with respect."
Ye Fan's heart shook. The Demon Monarch's mausoleum had left a deep impression on him. Ji Family also had a Great Monarch in the past. Could there be a Great Monarch's mausoleum as well?
The remains of ancient sages could be refined into supreme weapons. When the Great Monarch was young, he could suppress all opponents of the same realm. Didn't this mean that the remains were even stronger? They were definitely treasures for sacrificial weapons.
"My elder saw you with his own eyes. You wanted to target our Ji Family's deceased Godly King's mausoleum." Ji Ziyue stared at the heartless Daoist.
"No, I just took a few glances out of curiosity. In the end, I was chased by those old men for three thousand miles. I almost lost my life. I won't look sideways again."
Although Ji Ziyue's expression was unfriendly, he didn't plan to have a conflict with him. He didn't want to make a big enemy at this critical moment. He knew that this Daoist wasn't simple.
"Little Daoist, are you together with the fat Daoist?" Ji Ziyue glanced at Ye Fan again.
"He wants to bet with me. He said that he has information about the Nine Secrets." Ye Fan said directly. He didn't believe that the heartless Daoist would give him valuable information.
"It seems like Daoist Duan knows a very important clue?" Yao Xi smiled and asked.
"Could it be that the tomb robber is Daoist Duan?" Ji Ziyue teased.
Duan De said confidently, "This Daoist's knowledge is limited. However, I do know a thing or two. That's why I bet with Daoist Zhengde."
Ji Ziyue reminded him with good intentions, "Little Daoist, don't bet with him. He is a famous heartless Daoist. He always cheats and never makes a losing deal."
"Little princess of Ji Family, you can't slander me. This Daoist has always been righteous." Duan De boasted shamelessly.
"Tsk!" Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at him and then turned to Ye Fan, "Little Daoist, I'll tell you the information for free. Don't listen to him."
"This Daoist thanks Miss Ji." Ye Fan nodded in thanks.
In Li City, there was indeed news about the Nine Secrets. It was all because of a tomb robber.
Not long ago, in an ancient weapon shop in the north region, they bought a broken copper bell. They found the words Nine Secrets on it and it caused a commotion.
They carefully restored the ancient bell. From the hundreds of ancient words on it, they deduced that it was a funerary object. It was something unearthed from the grave of an ancient cultivator.
There weren't many words on the broken copper bell and the records were very vague. It roughly recorded some of the deeds of the tomb owner. The last sentence simply mentioned that their family had passed down one of the Nine Secrets.
Nine Secrets. Every secret had unbelievable effects. It was a supreme divine art that everyone dreamed of. It shook the past and present.
It was because they were too powerful that they were split up in the distant past and lost in different parts of the world, never to be gathered again.
The appearance of the copper bell was like a tsunami that struck people's minds, shocking them. That was because there were only three or four of the Nine Secrets that were passed down in the world. The rest were almost all lost.
If one of them appeared because of this, any sect would go crazy. It was definitely a priceless divine art.
"In that case, a tomb robber dug up a broken copper bell and triggered the news of the Nine Secrets appearing?" Ye Fan was surprised.
Ji Ziyue nodded and said, "Unfortunately, when we found the tomb robber, he had already died mysteriously."
"Killed to keep his mouth shut?"
"No, he seemed to have been cursed. Ancient cultivator tombs often have this kind of evil art." Ji Ziyue answered.
The ancient weapon shop couldn't keep this secret. The news spread quickly. Many people deduced the approximate location from the vague records on the copper bell. It should be in Li City.
Ye Fan stared at Duan De with an unfriendly expression and said, "This news will spread very soon. Aren't you embarrassed to sell it to me for ten thousand kilograms of Origin Source?"
Duan De's face was flushed and he said, "When the news spreads, it will lose its value. Now, it's all about the word 'early'. The earlier we know, the better. In my opinion, it's worth ten thousand kilograms of Origin Source."
"You really know how to talk nonsense." Ye Fan didn't want to say anything more to him.
The Nine Secrets were a type of lost inheritance. It was very likely to be found here and reappear in the world. Ye Fan was very tempted. He had grasped two of them. No one knew better than him how terrifying these divine arts were. He was willing to exchange ancient scriptures for them!
"Daoist Duan, your footprints are all over the world. I wonder if there are any other clues we can find. How about we cooperate?" Yao Xi said with a smile.
"I'm afraid we'll be killed by your holy land at the last moment." Duan De chuckled.
"How can that be? I'm just talking about the few of us. The forces behind us haven't arrived yet." Yao Xi smiled like a flower.
"I have some clues in my heart. I do need some helpers …" Duan De's fat face showed that he was tempted.
"Brother Haoyue, what do you think?" Yao Xi asked Ji Haoyue.
The future Divine King of Ji Family didn't like Duan De very much. However, he knew that this fat Daoist was very mysterious and had some special methods. He wouldn't lose out if he cooperated with him.
"Alright." Ji Haoyue nodded.
Ji Ziyue wrinkled her nose and said, "Daoist Duan, what clues do you have?"
"I know. A long time ago, an unparalleled character came to Li City to search for the Nine Secrets. I know a thing or two about the route he took."
"You even know the whereabouts of an unparalleled character?" Ji Ziyue didn't believe it.
"This is a record I found in an ancient book. Of course I know."
"In that case, it should be something very long ago." Yao Xi was surprised.
Duan De nodded and said, "Yes, very long ago. This proves that Li City definitely has one of the Nine Secrets. Unfortunately, it's been lost for countless years. It's very likely buried underground."
"Even that unparalleled character didn't find the Nine Secrets. So what if you know his clues?" Ye Fan asked.
"He didn't leave empty-handed. He left behind some extremely valuable clues." Duan De chuckled and answered.
"Who is this unparalleled character you're talking about?" Ji Haoyue frowned.
"The future Divine King of Ji Family. You always don't believe me. Alright, I'll tell you. He's Gai Jiuyou from eight thousand years ago."
"What?!"
"Gai Jiuyou from Middle Prefecture …"
Everyone was shocked. This name was too famous. Eight thousand years ago, Gai Jiuyou's name shook Middle Prefecture and even spread to East Barren. He was invincible. Some people even thought that he might become a Great Emperor.
"In his later years, he came to East Barren. I think he was most likely buried here," Duan De answered.
They all stared at Duan De with strange expressions. Duan De's hair stood on end. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Taoist Duan, did you dig up Gai Jiuyou's tomb?"
"We thought too badly of me. Am I that kind of person? Why would I dig up someone's tomb for no reason? Besides, no one knows where Gai Jiuyou died."
"It's useless to talk about this. Let's find the Nine Secrets," Ji Haoyue said in a deep voice.
According to the record that Duan De had found, Gai Jiuyou had indeed been here and left behind valuable clues.
Fifteen thousand years ago, there used to be an ancient family in Lizhou. They were very mysterious and kept a low profile. They were suspected to have cultivated the Nine Secrets.
As time passed, this ancient family had already disappeared in history.
"There are many ancient tombs outside Li City. We don't need to dig them up one by one. We just need to find the tomb of that ancient family. Maybe we'll find something amazing."
When they left Li City, they saw many cultivators coming to Li City.
Ye Fan first saw Wu Zhongtian, Jiang Huairen, the bandits, and Li Heishui. Then, he saw the Little Peng King.
"This guy is here too. Don't tell me he's here to kill Yao Guang and Ji Haoyue?" He knew how terrifying the Little Peng King was.
In the suburbs of Li City, there were many people in the tombs. Yao Xi immediately frowned.
Duan De said, "It's okay. In the past fifteen thousand years, Li City has changed its location several times. There are many places in the tombs that they can't find."
