Time passed in the blink of an eye!
Although the vegetation on the mountain had withered, the thick fog still did not disperse all year round. It had been twelve years.
Fortunately, this place was remote and there were very few people here all year round, so no one paid attention to the abnormalities on the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, within the thick fog, there was an open space. There was a thatched cottage and a medicinal field, but there were countless rare and precious herbs planted in the field. They were all Young King Herbs that were at least ten thousand years old. The fragrance of the herbs was extremely rich, and it made people feel like they were walking on clouds.
A young man sat cross-legged on a jade couch in the thatched cottage. His eyebrows were like swords, and his face seemed as if it had been carved by knives. He sat there with his back straight and did not give off any aura at all, as if he was a stone statue.
Suddenly, the young man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes. Two rays of golden light shot out like sharp swords. Wherever they passed, the space was annihilated, and in an instant, the entire cottage turned into ashes as if it had experienced millions of years of decay.
If it were not for the fact that there had been a great formation set up outside the thatched cottage, making it difficult for even Saints to break through, the mountain below would have probably been reduced to dust.
"The Holy Sovereign!" The disturbance here naturally alarmed the three beasts that were guarding the side. They were shocked, and then with a flash, they appeared in front of the young man and bowed with their heads lowered.
The black ape and the other two beasts looked at the young man that sat cross-legged on the jade couch, and when their eyes met, they felt that the young man's eyes were incomparably deep. There seemed to be the scene of the birth of the universe and the creation of the world within them. At the same time, they seemed like two black holes, and even they felt their souls become unstable as if they were about to leave their bodies.
This feeling gave the black ape, the golden ox, and Daoist Hong Yu a fright. They hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look again.
They knew that the Holy Sovereign's skills had become even more unfathomable after cultivating for over a decade. He had reached a level where they could no longer compete with him.
Of course, this was just the guesses of the black ape and the other strange beasts. Only Ye Xuan himself knew that even though he had always been cultivating in seclusion for more than ten years, his cultivation actually didn't make any progress. What he improved was merely his dao skills. Right now, his dao skills already exceeded the Self Severing Realm, merging with the great dao, searching for the one that escaped.
The Self Release Realm was equivalent to the seventh-layer immortal-foundation realm of this world. It was just that they had to search for the one that could escape from the Great Dao. Compared to the Great Sage Realm, their cultivation base was much deeper and their understanding of the Great Dao was also much deeper. They could already be compared to the quasi-emperors of this world.
As for why his cultivation had not improved, it was naturally because there was still a Great Path injury in the source of his spiritual soul. Under his deliberate control, this Great Path injury did not heal because of the improvement of his cultivation.
Ye Xuan raised his head to look at the three respectful beasts in front of him and said calmly, "Yes, it's been hard on you all to protect me for the past dozen years!"
"The Holy Sovereign is too serious!" Daoist Hong Yu spoke.
Glancing at the three strange beasts, Ye Xuan nodded his head lightly. "Seems like the three of you didn't slack off during these ten years. Very good!"
Given Ye Xuan's cultivation base, he could naturally see the cultivation bases of the three strange beasts with a single glance. All three of them had already stepped into the half-Saint realm and only needed one more step before they could step into the Sage Realm.
"I don't dare to. This subordinate only managed to step into this realm by luck because of the divine fruit!" The three strange beasts knew that the reason why their cultivation bases rose was because of the ninth-grade undying divine medicine that Ye Xuan bestowed upon them.
If it wasn't for them refining the divine fruit, given their physiques, although it wasn't difficult for them to step into the half-Saint realm within ten years, they wouldn't be able to reach the high-tier of half-Saint in such a short period of time.
Although the half-Saint realm still belonged to the Third Heavenly Layer, because they had already stepped into the Sage Realm, they could actually be considered another realm, surpassing the Major Completion of the Dao Cutting Monarch Realm.
"There's no need to say more. I don't even want to covet your cultivation base!" Ye Xuan waved his hand and then asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
Although the three strange beasts had been protecting him for the past ten years, they didn't guard this place to the death. Sometimes, some of them would go out to gather information.
"Holy Sovereign, the situation outside is more or less stable." Daoist Hong Yu stood up and bowed to Ye Xuan before continuing, "Ever since the Green Emperor appeared, the major forces of the Big Dipper have temporarily been observing in secret. Only the Demon Clan seems to have made some moves. More than ten years ago, the descendant of the Demon Clan, Yan Ruyu, made use of the Green Emperor's reappearance to gather the power of the Demon Clan. Over the years, she has recruited many experts of the Demon Clan. Among them, the Peacock King, the Green Serpent King, the Crow Daoist, and the Red Dragon Daoist were famous for a time. They once fought against the Ji Family of the Desolate Antiquity and the Remote Light Sacred Ground, but it didn't cause a war. "
"Other than that, eleven years ago, there was a rumor in the Eastern Wilderness that someone found the Bronze Immortal Palace. It was said that the person was your disciple, Ye Fan. However, it wasn't confirmed. Later on, the Bronze Immortal Palace seemed to have escaped into the Northern Region and was taken away by an elder. Some people guessed that she might be a human Sage."
Hearing this news, Ye Xuan nodded slightly. It seemed that other than the rise of the Demon Clan, there wasn't much change in the general direction because he didn't participate in it.
"How is Ye Fan now?" Ye Xuan asked after a moment of silence.
"Holy Venerable, I went out once a while ago and met him and the Dragon Horse. Ye Fan's cultivation has reached the fifth secret realm of the Dragon Realm." This time, it was the Golden Ox's turn to speak. "Ever since Emperor Qing disappeared, the Ji Family of the Clan of the Ancients and the Yaoguang Holy Land all guessed that Holy Venerable had something to do with Emperor Qing's reappearance. Because Holy Venerable disappeared in seclusion, the people from the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ji Family set their sights on the people who came with you. Because of Ye Fan, your disciple is being hunted down by the people from the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ji Family.
"But Holy Venerable, don't worry. Ye Fan is very alert. Until now, the people from the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ji Family can't do anything. On the contrary, Ye Fan is getting more and more courageous as he fights. He makes breakthroughs and kills many people from the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land."
"The Yaoguang Holy Land, the Ji Family …" Hearing this, Ye Xuan's eyes sparkled. He muttered to himself, but he didn't continue. Instead, he asked, "What about the Forbidden Land? Did anything happen? "
"Holy Venerable, ever since Emperor Qing reappeared and disappeared, people from the Forbidden Land have come out. They've been searching in the Eastern Wilderness. They've even entered the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land to search for Ye Fan," the black ape said respectfully.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan frowned slightly. His eyes sparkled, but he shook his head. Now was not the time to provoke the existence of the Forbidden Land.
"How's the search for the Celestial Transformation Pool?" Thinking of the supreme existence in the Forbidden Land, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He asked the three exotic beasts.
"Holy Venerable, I've already found out where the Celestial Transformation Pool is. It's in the Celestial Transformation Pool in the Qinling Mountains of the Central Plains. It's said that it's where Emperor Qing was born," the black ape said respectfully.
