Ye Fan knew that he had caused a great disaster. The Southern Region was extremely dangerous for him.
The Ji Family was huge and had many experts. They would not let him go just like that.
This time, he had killed the old steward Ji Ren and destroyed Ji Hui's imprint. However, this didn't solve the problem. On the contrary, the Ji Family would react even more violently.
Hide! There was only one way. There was no other way.
The Great Void Technique was one of the essentials of the Void Ancient Scripture. The Ji Family could not allow it to be leaked. Even if the Alkaid Saint obtained it, the Ji Family would find a way to take it back, let alone a small cultivator like Ye Fan.
In these days, he had heard a lot of news. All of it shook the Southern Region.
The battle between the Peacock King and Nangong Zheng had come to an end. The mountain range was scorched and became barren. However, the outside world did not know who was stronger and who was weaker. By the time people arrived, the two almighty beings had already disappeared.
The Alkaid Saint and the Ji Family's Saint went out together to search for the Peacock King in the Southern Region. They said they would kill the Peacock King. This caused a huge commotion but they could not find any traces of him.
The Bronze Palace was faintly discernible. It was about to sink into the Eastern Wasteland. But until now, no peerless experts had entered. The great figures were worried and were making their final preparations.
It was said that the Ji Family's Ji Haoyue was heavily injured and almost killed. His whereabouts were unknown and many people were secretly searching for him.
In the Heavenly Jade Holy Land, the only survivor was the Mad Old Man. He had formed a cocoon in the Great Darkness and was sleeping. There were many experts guarding him, but when he broke out of the cocoon, no one noticed him. He had mysteriously disappeared, leaving everyone shocked.
Undercurrents were surging in the Southern Domain. All of the great powers were sending out powerful experts to gather information.
Ye Fan smiled wryly. Right now, there were two people in the most dangerous situation in the Southern Region. One was Ji Haoyue and the other was him.
Ji Haoyue's Divine Body had just formed. He could be considered a strong cultivator. As long as he did not meet the Peacock King, he would have a way out.
As for him, his Divine Body had not formed yet. If he was discovered, he would be in great danger.
The Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland was not peaceful at all. Something shocking could happen at any time.
"The Ji Clan has been passed down since the Antiquity Era. If you want to kill me, don't blame me for being impolite. I will spread the Great Void Technique to the world. I don't believe that you dare to kill the countless people of the Southern Region!"
Ye Fan's expression was cold. He was ready to fight to the death.
That was because he clearly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the past two days. The legendary figures of the Ji family were searching for Ji Haoyue, but even more young experts had been mobilized. They were frantically searching for Ji Haoyue and were about to dig three feet into the ground.
Of course, that was only the worst-case scenario. The Southern Territory was so vast that Ye Fan didn't believe that he could hide in a secluded corner of the mountain and still be discovered.
For the past few days, he had been hiding in the wilderness, changing from one place to another. He was afraid that he had not completely shaken off his pursuers.
This kind of life as a fugitive was not easy. They were always on guard, afraid that they would be discovered by the Ji family.
It was not until the seventh day that Ye Fan finally stopped. He did not know where he was. He entered a deep mountain with ancient trees that covered the sun. He decided to quietly cultivate here and wait for the situation to completely calm down before leaving the Southern Region.
It was too dangerous outside, so he could only hide for the time being.
Ye Fan was ready to cultivate in peace and reach the Realm of the Shore as soon as possible. Right now, above his Sea of Sufferings, there was a divine pulse in the sky. It was crystal clear like a rainbow and was about to penetrate the Sea of Reincarnation.
With the formation of the Vein of Heaven and the Divine Bridge in the sky, it was only a matter of time before he reached the Realm of Nirvana. What he needed now was accumulation.
He had a pure source in his hand. It was the size of a fist and was overflowing with colors. However, Ye Fan did not intend to use it now. He wanted to save it for when he reached the Nirvana Realm.
Such a large source contained unimaginable life essence. If it was before, it would be enough for him to advance to a realm.
However, as Elder Wu Qingfeng had said, the further one cultivated, the harder it would be. Everything required ten times the price of the beginning.
This source could help him break through the realm. If he refined it when he reached the peak of the Celestial Bridge, he would definitely be able to enter the Realm of Nirvana.
In the next few days, Ye Fan began to understand the various methods that he had cultivated.
The Sea of Reincarnation Volume of Taoist Scripture was where his foundation lay. It was the source of his cultivation path.
This method did not have any secret techniques or killing moves. It was completely about tapping into one's potential. Although there was no secret technique like the Great Technique of Void, it was respected as the strongest chapter to cultivate the Sea of Reincarnation for a reason. It emphasized on the foundation!
Now, half of the words on the golden page had disappeared. Not much was left. Many of the star-like ancient words were completely obliterated.
Vaguely, this matched with Ye Fan's realm. The words that disappeared were all parts that he had completely cultivated. He guessed that once he reached the Realm of Nirvana, there would be no more ancient words in this Taoist scripture.
Other than the Golden Book, one of the Nine Secrets, Crazy 'Ole's Footwork, and the Great Technique of Void were the three supreme secret techniques that he had mastered. In their respective fields, no other technique could surpass them.
For a few days, Ye Fan kept trying to figure out the three secret techniques. He had mastered too few techniques. This was his ultimate technique to save his life.
The tripod was still not formed. It needed time to be refined. However, it could be imagined that once the tripod was formed, it would be invincible.
Ye Fan did not want to add a name to the tripod. He felt that the word "tripod" was enough to represent everything. The Xuanhuang Tripod, the Qi of Myriad Cauldron … were not as clear as that word.
Ye Fan drank a lot of divine spring. He calmed his mind and cultivated. He comprehended a lot. The heavenly veins above the Sea of Reincarnation grew again. It was just around the corner to reach the mysterious Realm of Nirvana.
On the ninth day, Ye Fan held the Bodhi bead in his hand. His mind was empty. His body was like a glass lamp, pure and translucent. He was in a wondrous realm.
At this moment, he was one with the rocks, the plants, and the deep mountains. His mind was at peace. He could hear the breathing of the plants and feel the pulse of the deep mountains.
He seemed to be one with the heaven and earth. His consciousness took form. It was like a breeze or a cloud. He traveled through the deep mountains. His spirit seemed to have left his body.
If there was a big shot here, he would be shocked. When a powerful cultivator reached the later stage, he would have to rely on comprehending Dao to increase his realm. Once he reached that level, no heavenly materials or earthly treasures would be of use.
Ye Fan's realm was not high. However, he could stay in the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth and be ethereal for a long time. It was rare.
Suddenly, Ye Fan sensed danger. He was one with all things. His consciousness that was traveling in the deep mountains sensed danger.
In almost an instant, he saw Ji Hui of the Ji Clan!
In an instant, his Divine Sense returned. He opened his eyes with a swoosh and stood up from the grass and trees.
"This old man, how did he find me …"
Ye Fan turned into a wisp of smoke. He traveled through the forest and quickly rushed into the distance.
"This kid's spiritual sense is so sharp. It is really strange," Ji Hui muttered to herself. She waved her hand and said, "Send a message. Surround him from all directions. We cannot let him escape!"
Ye Fan was prepared. He had carved many Dao patterns here. They were recorded in ancient beast skin books. He could not comprehend them and could only copy them.
Now, they were finally useful. He rushed out, but the people surrounding him were blocked.
"Insignificant tricks!"
Ji Hui shouted coldly. She waved her hand and with a rumble, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. Rocks shot through the air. The area with the Dao patterns was erased by her divine power.
Behind her, the sky was densely packed. In order to chase after Ye Fan and to take back the Great Void Technique, they had mobilized a large number of cultivators.
Ji Hui was not the only super expert. For a small cultivator like Ye Fan, there were actually several famous guests with similar statuses to Ji Hui.
The Great Void Technique must not be leaked!
Ye Fan rushed out dozens of miles, but he was shocked. The speed he was so proud of couldn't shake off these elders. With their strength, their speed was naturally terrifying.
"Young man, you have nowhere to go today. There is no way you can escape!" Old woman Ji Hui's expression was cold as she transmitted her voice from behind.
"How did you find me?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
"Can my spiritual imprint be erased so easily?" Ji Hui's expression was unsightly. It was a humiliation for someone as powerful as her to have her spiritual imprint erased by a young man. She said coldly, "Even if Ziyue gave you the Psychic Jade, it doesn't mean you can't track me. You're audacious enough to take away my Overarching Heaven Net!"
Ye Fan sighed. He already repeatedly refined the Overarching Heaven Net, erasing all traces on its surface. Every strand of the net was sparkling like jade, already untainted by dust, untainted by divine senses, yet it was still found by the other party.
The famous guests of the Clan of the Ancients were indeed unfathomable. They couldn't be measured with common sense!
Ye Fan was like a stream of light, like lightning. The mountains and rivers retreated rapidly, but he still couldn't shake off Ji Hui and the others. The distance between them was actually shrinking.
At this point, he was truly at the end of the line. There was no way out. Ye Fan thought about it and could only gamble. He rushed out of the mountain range and flew towards a densely populated area.
This was a powerful country in the southern region. The capital had a population of no less than a million. The city was huge and bustling, with people coming and going in an endless stream.
Ye Fan rushed to the sky above the unknown capital city and stopped. He turned around and used his Divine Sense to communicate with the other four, "If you dare to take one more step forward, I will spread the Great Void Technique to the entire capital city and let millions of people know about it. Moreover, I'll rush to the next city and announce it to the world. The Great Void Technique will no longer be a secret. I don't believe you'll dare to slaughter the entire southern region! "
Ji Hui's expression changed. The other three also stopped in their tracks. If the Great Void Technique were to be known by everyone, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Didn't your Ji family want to keep it a secret? I'll let the entire southern region know. Since I have no way out, why not help the cultivators of the world?"
Ji Hui's expression was as dark as water. The other three were also furious. They felt that the young man in front of them was truly difficult to deal with. They wanted nothing more than to slap him to death.
Ye Fan looked at them coldly and shouted, "Scram, scram immediately!"
The Ji family, which had been passed down since the Antiquity Era, was extraordinary. No one dared to humiliate them, but a little cultivator dared to do so!
The Ji family's legendary figures, especially Ji Hui, were livid. Veins popped on her forehead, but she held it in.
At this moment, the other cultivators of the Ji family caught up. Most of them were young, and the sky was densely packed with people.
"And all of you, scram as well!" Ye Fan shouted. He had long been suppressing a bellyful of anger from being chased. There was nothing to worry about right now. He had already shed all pretense of cordiality.
If he couldn't escape, then he'd fight to the death!
His voice was like thunder. The entire city heard him clearly. There was no lack of cultivators below, and they all looked shocked.
"Aren't those the cultivators of the Ji family? Someone actually dares to speak to them like that. How incredible, comparable to the Peacock King! "
"Who is that young man? He dared to tell the Ji family's legendary figures to scram and shocked everyone. No one dared to go forward. He's probably a powerful cultivator too."
Ye Fan had always been unknown in this area, but from this day onward, he was destined to be known by everyone.
He dared to challenge the authority of the Huanggu family and face the many cultivators of the Ji family alone. It was truly shocking.
"Didn't you hear what I said? All of you scram! Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. You know what will happen! "If people didn't fear death, they wouldn't be afraid of anything and wouldn't care about anything.
Veins popped on the foreheads of the Ji family's legendary figures. Black mist curled around them, and their gazes were frightening. No one had ever dared to treat the cultivators from the Ji family like this.
"Kill him!"
"Ancestors, why won't you let us go?"
The eyes of the young disciples of the Ji family almost popped out of their sockets. No matter where they went, they were seen as geniuses. Today, they were humiliated by a young man like this. They couldn't bear it at all.
This was the first time Ye Fan became famous among the younger generation, but he did it in such a way. It was obvious that he would become the public enemy of the younger generation of the Ji family.
"Ye Fan …" Ji Hui slowly opened her mouth. She tried to make her voice as calm as possible. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Stupid old woman, shut your mouth. I have nothing to say to you. If you mention my name again, there's no turning back!" Ye Fan threw caution to the wind.
Now that he couldn't suppress these people, he didn't even have the slightest hope of living.
Ji Hui's chest was heaving up and down. The veins on her neck were clearly visible. They were as thick as vines, and they were spasming and trembling.
She couldn't remember how many years it had been since someone dared to treat her like this. Even someone as powerful as she, who had lived for so long, found it hard to swallow this anger.
"Ancestor, what are you waiting for? Kill him!"
"Let us go and kill him!"
The younger generation of the Ji family couldn't take it anymore. Their killing intent soared to the sky.
"I'm only going to say one last time. All of you, scram immediately. I'll only give you ten breaths of time!" Ye Fan swept his gaze forward.
Someone from the younger generation of the Ji family let out a long roar, venting his anger.
Below, the cultivators in the giant city were all dumbfounded.
It was obvious that Ye Fan's name would spread throughout the Southern Domain and become the public enemy of the younger generation of the Clan of the Ancients.
"Hahaha …" At this moment, someone laughed.
A figure arrived in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that it was unbelievable. It was as if he had been standing in the sky above the giant city all this time and didn't just appear out of nowhere.
It was a youth around sixteen or seventeen years old. He was delicate and handsome, with soft hair, clear eyes, and an otherworldly temperament. He was as fresh as snow on a flowering tree. It was the Peacock King.
"Well said. Did you hear that, people of the Ji family? Hurry up and scram!"
The Peacock King looked down on the Southern Domain. He was invincible and stood at the peak.
His appearance caused everyone's expressions to change. Many people were trembling with fear. One had to know that the Peacock King's roar had directly shattered a legendary figure of the Ji family. He was unfathomably powerful!
The Peacock King walked over and patted Ye Fan's shoulder. He looked as otherworldly as a lotus flower and didn't have the slightest bit of power or might.
Everyone was shocked. What exactly was the relationship between Ye Fan and the Peacock King? Could it be that he had a great background?
