Chapter 10: Tying the Heavenly Emperor to the War Chariot
Hua Yunfei forgot that Ye Fan was just starting out at this time and knew almost nothing about the various secrets.
He then took the initiative to explain some rumors about the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Bronze Immortal Palace to Ye Fan, leaving Ye Fan dumbfounded.
"Out of over two hundred thousand people, you are the only one who was able to obtain the Source of All Things' Primordial Qi from the Bronze Immortal Palace. Now you know how great your karmic connection is with this Great Emperor, right?"
Hua Yunfei smiled as he looked at Ye Fan's shocked expression.
"And what about you? What is your connection with this emperor?" Ye Fan, having regained his senses, scrutinized Hua Yunfei.
"I obtained the Devouring Heaven Demon Art she left behind..."
"I %@..." Upon hearing this, Ye Fan gasped and almost used the Heavenly Spin Step to run away immediately.
Through Hua Yunfei's narration, he clearly understood how terrifying the cultivation technique created by this great emperor was.
It devours various powerful physiques to achieve its own power, making it a fearsome creature.
Ye Fan was deeply surprised. At this moment, he felt that Senior Brother Hua in front of him was obviously not a good person.
On the surface, he is gentle and refined, incredibly handsome, like a celestial being, but who knows how many people he has devoured in the real world!
At this moment, he felt extremely uneasy, fearing that this Senior Brother Hua would covet his sacred body's essence. If he wasn't going out, he would also be facing certain death, so he was unwilling to sit with such a dangerous person.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to eat you..." Hua Yunfei said with a smile.
"Hard to say..." In Ye Fan's eyes, his smile was no different from that of a vengeful ghost.
"Even if everything you say is true, that's no reason for you to help me. No matter how you look at it, it's more beneficial for you to devour everything I have."
"Logically speaking, that's not wrong, but that's only if it's just the two of us."
"What do you mean by that?"
Hua Yunfei sighed and said, "Actually, I'm just like you, prey that others are eyeing. You only recently came into their sights, while I was..."
As he recounted his story, Ye Fan was utterly astonished.
The fact that such a sacred place could be parasitized by the ruthless lineage and secretly replaced shows how terrifying this lineage is.
As a member of the Holy Body, he was targeted by this lineage when the Tai Xuan Sect clashed with Ji Haoyue's divine body.
"You were actually the demonic fetus they chose..." Ye Fan's eyes were complicated. He never expected that the number one young person of the Tai Xuan Sect, a person as ethereal as an immortal, would have such a tragic fate.
"You were born on the other side of the starry sky, and came to the Big Dipper because of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. Like me, you are not in control of your own destiny. Now you are also being targeted by them. We have a common enemy!"
"My cultivation level is too low; I can't help you much..."
"That's not important. What's important is that you're on my side!" Hua Yunfei said.
Ye Fan was suspicious; he didn't understand what this meant.
"When I fight against the ruthless lineage of the Yao Guang Holy Land in the future, their imperial weapon—the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron—is a huge hidden danger. But if you help me, the situation will be different," Hua Yunfei said.
Ye Fan was dumbfounded. Was he being asked to fight against an ultimate imperial weapon? Did he have that much ability?
Hua Yunfei didn't explain much, but told Ye Fan that he would understand in time.
In Hua Yunfei's future plans, the ruthless lineage of the Yao Guang Holy Land must be wiped out. If he doesn't take action, the Tai Xuan Sect and he himself will be eliminated in the future.
Although he gained the approval of the Devouring Demon Jar, the other party also had the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.
What if he and the Yao Guang Holy Land start fighting, and the two imperial weapons remain neutral, or even the Devouring Demon Jar gains more favor towards the ruthless lineage of Yao Guang?
After all, the other party's lineage is more complete than his.
Strictly speaking, the other side is the true orthodox one!
The Devouring Demon Jar contains a portion of the Ruthless Great Emperor's primordial spirit! This imperial weapon cannot truly recognize another as its master.
Moreover, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, this imperial weapon, was definitely forged by the Empress herself for the Ruthless lineage in the Yao Guang Holy Land when she was temporarily lucid. This imperial weapon originally came from Yao Guang and had been in the hands of the Ruthless lineage for so long.
It's hard to say which of the two imperial weapons will ultimately choose when they start arguing.
At this point, breaking the balance requires the help of Ye Fan, a key figure.
As long as Ye Fan stands next to him, he doesn't believe that the two imperial weapons will still be aimed at him!
Do you even realize how valuable Empress's brother is?
As for whether destroying the Yao Guang Holy Land will provoke the Empress's wrath, there's really no need to worry about that.
The Empress wouldn't care about their lives or deaths; she only created the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron on a whim.
These are the real reasons why Hua Yunfei wanted to drag Ye Fan onto the pirate ship.
However, it's not appropriate to be too direct with Ye Fan right now, but one thing is certain.
The two do indeed share a common enemy.
Ye Fan understood this as well. He knew Hua Yunfei wasn't lying, after all, he and Ji Ziyue had personally experienced the pursuit by the Ruthless Clan.
Furthermore, Hua Yunfei's cultivation level is far higher than his. If he wanted to take advantage of him, he could have done so at the Tai Xuan Sect. There was no need for him to come here and tell him stories to deceive him.
"So how do you plan to deal with them?" Ye Fan asked after his wariness of Hua Yunfei had lessened considerably.
Hua Yunfei waved his hand and said, "No rush, let's improve our cultivation first."
"As for you, as a Holy Body, although you have successfully embarked on the path of cultivation, the cultivation resources you need are enormous and boundless. Each breakthrough increases them tenfold. Do you have a plan?"
Ye Fan spread his hands, offering only a wry smile.
Hua Yunfei smiled mysteriously: "I have a path here. It's risky, but the rewards are high. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. If you're brave enough, you might as well give it a try."
Seeing Ye Fan's anticipation, he didn't keep him in suspense and directly uttered a few words: "Northern Region, Purple Mountain, Origin Heaven Book!"
"The Origin Book? What is that?" Ye Fan asked, completely bewildered.
"To find the dragon veins, to pinpoint the source of the spirit, to restrain the earth's dragon energy with a mere gesture, and to alter the course of mountains and rivers—this lineage is extraordinary!"
Hua Yunfei gave a brief introduction to the various legends surrounding this tradition.
Ye Fan, standing to the side, was extremely excited. The Origin Heaven Book was such a perfect inheritance for him, a rogue cultivator with a holy body.
If he could learn the Origin Book, then the massive resources he needed would be secured.
He's only at the Divine Bridge Realm now, and just thinking about the enormous resources needed for the next few realms almost makes him faint. It's just too terrifying!
"I should go now. I'm being watched too, so I can't keep helping you," Hua Yunfei said.
"Senior Brother Yunfei, since there is still a Great Emperor's legacy in Purple Mountain, why don't we go together?" Ye Fan said sincerely.
Hua Yunfei smiled and glanced at him: "That's right, you sensed it. Purple Mountain is indeed extremely dangerous, so don't even think about dragging me down with you. Whether you survive or not depends on yourself. I'm not going!"
"Brother Yunfei, that's the legacy of a great emperor. Aren't you tempted at all?" Ye Fan was still trying to persuade him.
"No time, I'm busy cultivating."
After leaving these words, Hua Yunfei drifted away.
Purple Mountain? Not even a dog would go there! A whole litter of Primordial Ancestral Kings—even with an Emperor Weapon, he would be in grave danger with his current cultivation level!
He returned to the Tai Xuan Sect and continued to nurture the Devouring Demon Jar.
A divine artifact, especially the mighty Devouring Demon Jar that has shaken the ages, is not so easy to control.
Even though he has mastered the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and has gained initial recognition, his cultivation level is still too low, and he still needs to refine it with care.
His protector also returned from the Bronze Immortal Palace. This person was more cautious and did not rush in like a moth to a flame, unlike those old cultivators whose lifespans were nearing their end.
The restriction placed on Hua Yunfei was sealed by Wei Yi within a wisp of his divine sense, so the other party did not sense anything unusual when they met this time.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
