Under the cold moonlight, the vast earth was completely desolate. Only the lone wolf was sorrowful, whimpering in the desolate grassland.
In this kind of environment, a majestic ancient temple stood. It was dyed in golden radiance, sacred and dignified, vast and righteous. It was indescribably mysterious.
Within the main hall, a green lamp accompanied an ancient buddha. An Miaoyi sat cross-legged on a praying mat. Her jade-like face always had a smile on it. Her slender jade-like fingers nimbly plucked the strings of the zither, producing mysterious notes that rang out.
"Why don't you recognize me?" Ye Fan walked forward, his steps light and slow. At this moment, he no longer had the sharpness he had when he swept through the ancient family.
Dang!
A bell rang out from the depths of the temple. The sound traveled for hundreds of miles, causing the entire grassland to tremble. Ye Fan stopped, resisting this sound wave.
At this moment, a buddhist light appeared behind An Miaoyi's head, making her white clothes seem even cleaner. At this moment, she looked like a Bodhisattva, holy and lofty.
Her fine black hair fluttered in the wind, each strand sparkling. A divine ring protected her body, making her look even more dignified. Although she was smiling brilliantly, it made others feel that her heart was far away.
"Miaoyi, why don't you recognize me?" Ye Fan softly asked.
"It's been more than ten years since we last met. Yesterday is like water that can't be left behind. Flowers will bloom once more, and geese will return once more. If I look back, will I still be the same? " There was a layer of mist in An Miaoyi's eyes, but she was still smiling. There was a stunning radiance flowing within her eyes.
Ye Fan's heart trembled. During his most difficult and difficult time, everyone was waiting to see him become a joke. They all thought that the divine body was fated to be unable to break the curse. Only An Miaoyi firmly believed that he could succeed.
Not only that, she even gambled herself. During that period of time, she was the only one who gambled her entire life.
"I'm still me. I've never changed." Ye Fan walked forward with large strides. He seriously looked at her, wanting to approach her.
However, the bell rang out once more. The divine ring behind An Miaoyi's head became even more resplendent. Buddhist light shone brightly, making it seem holy and otherworldly.
"Time cannot be turned back. There's never a path of return. Once we take a step forward, we can only move forward." An Miaoyi smiled. Her gaze was gentle, but it felt even more distant.
Twelve years ago, Ye Fan left without even turning his head back. He didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to this woman. Thinking back to the past, he couldn't help but be absent-minded.
"Even if we move forward, the person and the heart remain the same."
In the past, when Ye Fan succeeded in breaking the curse, he was injured by the Great Dao. He did not have much time left, and there was no hope for his future. He was mocked and ridiculed. A mere successor of the Five Elements Palace dared to speak rudely to him.
During that period of time, in order to help him recover, An Miaoyi searched everywhere for elixirs. She even gave him the Buddhist Nirvana Scripture, and even performed dual cultivation to heal his injuries.
It was impossible for him to forget all of this.
"Miao Yi, I know you still remember me." Ye Fan slowly walked forward and said softly.
During this process, it was rare that Li Tian did not say a single word. Together with Yan Yixi, he stood at the entrance of the hall, silently observing everything.
An Miaoyi smiled. Her beauty was dazzling, and there was a type of undying divine splendor blossoming. However, Ye Fan felt that it was becoming more and more out of reach.
"I have long since forgotten you."
These words were very soft, but it caused Ye Fan's heart to tremble. Ever since he came to this world, he was used to seeing life and death, struggling for survival, and cultivating for the sake of becoming stronger. He did not have any personal entanglements, he only felt moved.
But now, after hearing these words, he felt a sourness in the depths of his heart. It was as if his heart was suddenly entangled.
"If you don't know me, why are you still the same?"
"If one looks back, are you still the same? I am talking about myself. Once I take a step forward, there is no turning back." An Miaoyi's voice was very soft. Her delicate fingers plucked the strings of the zither, playing the beautiful melody of nature. Her voice lingered over the vast prairie, and under the cold night sky, it was exceptionally serene.
"What are you saying?" Ye Fan walked forward in large strides, arriving beside her.
An Miaoyi smiled. Her black hair hung down, smooth like silk. She exuded an astonishing beauty as she said, "She has waited for you for many years, yet we have never met."
"She … who is she?" Ye Fan asked with a trembling voice.
"You know who she is." An Miaoyi's expression was gentle, and her voice became even softer. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"She is you!" Ye Fan said.
"Wrong. She was me in the past, but now, I am no longer her." An Miaoyi smiled, but her tears were about to fall.
"Why do you say that?" Ye Fan's heart trembled.
An Miaoyi flung her black hair, causing it to dance in the air. Her face was filled with a holy light. She was laughing loudly, but her tears fell down and were hidden in her hair.
"Because that 'she' is no longer here. Now, there is only me, and I no longer know you." At this moment, her voice turned cold.
"Miaoyi …" Ye Fan walked forward, wanting to grab her arm and approach her.
However, An Miaoyi gently plucked the strings of the zither, and a great bell rang from the depths of the temple. Buddhist light blazed behind her, and one could vaguely see the benevolence of a great Buddha.
Ye Fan couldn't get close. If he wanted to get close, he could only use force. A domain blocked his path.
"I waited here for you only to see her one last time and fulfill her final wish." The Buddhist light behind An Miaoyi was boundless, solemn and inviolable. There was no trace of that momentary gentleness.
"What you and her? There is only one Miaoyi in this world. No matter who she is, no matter what, I will find her and change her back." Ye Fan's voice was sonorous, and his steps were firm. He opened up the golden sacred domain and strode forward.
"Could it be that you want to attack me?" An Miaoyi asked calmly.
"There is only one Miaoyi in this world. In order to bring her back, I'm sorry, but I have to offend you!" Ye Fan was very domineering. He raised his hand and pointed forward.
Bang!
Buddhist light flickered as An Miaoyi blocked this attack. She then retreated as light as a feather, and like a female Bodhisattva, she sat cross-legged on a lotus platform with a dignified appearance.
Dong … The great bell rumbled like a Buddhist chant, shaking the heaven and earth. It was as if a basin of clear water had been poured over one's head.
"Bang", "Bang" …
The two exchanged blows in the hall, their speed faster than lightning. Secret techniques and dao methods surged together, attacking in all directions. The golden sacred domain was resplendent, and the buddhist light was also boundless. They continuously clashed.
Even though it wasn't a life and death battle, only a small-scale confrontation, it was still remarkable. There were many areas that made one sigh in admiration. It was extremely extraordinary.
"Chi!"
A streak of multicolored light tore through the sky. They flew out of the temple and fought on the desolate prairie, leaving behind streak after streak of brilliant splendor in the night sky.
"Ye brat, do you need us to take action and blast her down with that holy weapon?" Li Tian cried out strangely.
"You're still joking even now. Let them fight, don't randomly get involved." Yan Yixi glared at him.
"I knew a long time ago that no one would die if they fought like this. Ye brat is reluctant." Li Tian mumbled.
Ye Fan fought a great battle against An Miaoyi. The two fought from the sky to the ground, and then into a large lake. He couldn't be too heavy handed, but he was still extremely shocked.
This was the first time Ye Fan saw An Miaoyi take action. In the past, he had never seen her display her cultivation, yet she was so powerful that even he was stunned.
Four hours passed. Ye Fan frowned, displaying his terrifying strength. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to subdue this enchanting beauty.
"This woman is too powerful. Damn it, she has touched upon the threshold of the Three Slashes Dao. If Ye brat is the slightest bit careless, he might be injured by her." Li Tian's expression was grave.
"Indeed terrifying, to actually have this level of cultivation. She is an extraordinary woman." Yan Yixi nodded.
"Bang", "Bang" …
Another two hours passed. Ye Fan continuously unleashed heavy blows. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist suppressed everything, the Battle Saint Technique deduced the taiji, and the golden sacred domain descended, capturing An Miaoyi alive, imprisoning her within an expanse of golden light.
This was a beautiful body. Black hair hung down, her swan-like neck snow-white and exquisite. Her face was dreamlike and illusory, full of spirituality.
"Miaoyi, what's wrong with you exactly?" Ye Fan sent out his powerful divine sense, gushing into her immortal foundation, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
A new battle began. This was a battle of divine sense. An Miaoyi's body glowed with buddhic light. Her divine sense was like that of a female Bodhisattva, incomparably powerful.
This was a collision of daos. Auspicious qi descended from the heavens, auspicious light gushed forth from the earth, lotus flowers filled the air, the feeling of gods, the five notes of daoism, the wondrous words of buddhism, all of them rumbled.
This was a resplendent little world. The battle between the two of them interweaved into one scene after another.
"Bang!"
Finally, Ye Fan descended from the sky. At the instant when he didn't injure An Miaoyi, he used his own primordial spirit to suppress her divine sense.
A light laughter drifted over. A familiar and moving voice containing magnetism rang out, incomparably gentle. "Little man, you have returned. You are truly getting more and more powerful."
"Miaoyi!" Ye Fan released her and quietly stared at this young woman with misty starry eyes. Compared to earlier, she was even more breathtaking. There was an additional gentleness to her as their hearts grew closer.
"Who would have thought that we would still be able to meet again. Seems like my obsession is very deep and I have such great strength that she has no choice but to compromise." An Miaoyi's smile was very sweet, her eyes were intoxicating, a smile that could topple cities.
"What are you talking about? Who is she?" Ye Fan stared at her in a daze.
"She is me. A me who severed you, severed a part of me." An Miaoyi smiled. Her words sounded awkward but Ye Fan instantly understood.
"Three Immortal Slashes. You actually chose to sever everything related to me. Wrong, you chose to sever a part of yourself, erasing everything related to me."
"You have already left this world, not even turning your head back. Do you want me to wallow in my memories?" An Miaoyi's smile was extremely moving, but there was also a trace of self-pity in it.
Ye Fan felt bitter in his heart. This was a young woman who appeared extremely charming but her heart was sometimes filled with arrogance and might even be a little unyielding.
He could still clearly remember An Miaoyi's resolute words in the past.
"If my life is in chaos, I will fall into depravity in the mortal world. If there comes a day when I become an emperor, I will definitely kill everyone related to me, cleansing my life of glory and humiliation!"
He stared fixedly at this young woman and didn't speak for a long time. Only when a gust of wind blew did he wake up.
"You've touched upon the third stage of the Three Immortal Slashes?"
"There's no need to be shocked. Many people are stuck here, unable to step past it. Many people have to use their entire lives to sever their daos." As she spoke until here, An Miaoyi laughed. "This little man is still the most awesome, catching up step by step and catching up to me. Over ten years have passed and although Wang Teng has become even more terrifying, he is still stuck outside the door of the Three Immortal Slashes. He has no way to fight against you, a character on the eighth minor step of the second layer of immortal-foundation. "
The third stage of the Three Immortal Slashes, severing the path of a cultivator. There would be no more paths to seek. Many people struggled their entire lives but were unable to advance an inch.
At this stage, there wasn't much difference between cultivating for ten years and a thousand years. If one could comprehend it, if one had great willpower, they might be able to break through in a single day. But if one didn't understand it, they would be stuck here for the rest of their lives.
The third stage of the Three Immortal Slashes, severing the path of a cultivator.
The third stage of the Three Immortal Slashes, severing the path of a cultivator. Humans could also sever their daos, severing the thoughts in their hearts, severing everything, severing everything, severing their own daos!
"To sever one's dao, you actually made such a choice …" Ye Fan stared at that flawless countenance.
An Miaoyi had a radiant smile on her face. She came before him and spoke, "If I fail, everything will turn to smoke. If I succeed, ten years or a hundred years later, I will step into the third stage of the Three Immortal Slashes and everything will return to me."
Ye Fan stretched his hand out, caressing her jade-like face as he spoke in a light voice, "How can you disappear with the wind, turning to smoke? I promised you before that I would be your dao protector and would definitely help you succeed. At the very least, you would become a female sage."
"Oi, oi, oi … there are still two living humans below. Oh right, there's also a child. Don't be so overboard okay?" Li Tian released Little Tong.
The moment Little Tong appeared, he bawled, "Lecherous Uncle, go and let others step on dog shit. I don't want to learn cultivation from you, I don't want to step on you."
"Damn, this child is so unlikeable."
"Master …" Tong Tong cried loudly when he saw Ye Fan pulling An Miaoyi away.
"Forget it, don't shout anymore. We can't spoil the mood and follow them at this moment." Li Tian patted his head.
