"Was it really the Emperor's son who drained him dry?" the old blind man asked in surprise and doubt.

"Hmm." Ye Fan hummed in response and said, "I have dealt with the Heavenly Emperor's son before, and the residual aura is beyond doubt."

He then recounted his past:

“Back then, Master Yuan took a strange stone from Purple Mountain and placed it in Yaochi. In the end, I cut out a divine egg from it, which was the Heavenly Emperor’s son. His aura is here.”

They were all stunned for a moment. In the endless ages before the beginning of time, the name of the Immortal Emperor resounded throughout the heavens and the earth. All races worshipped him. He was the only immortal god, and everyone had to pay homage to him.

His descendants were naturally hailed as the sons of God!

It's obvious that the Heavenly Emperor's son possesses the most terrifying bloodline, and now that he has absorbed the Eye of Creation, everyone feels heavy-hearted.

Cao Ya suddenly spoke:

"We don't need to take the Emperor's words too seriously."

Ye Fan, Duan De, the old blind man, and the Black Emperor all blinked, unsure of what expression to make.

The cultivation of the Heavenly Emperor's son surpasses that of the young Great Emperor and the young Ancient Emperor. How could Sage Cao Ya say that such a person is not worthy of attention?!

"Could it be that Sage Cao Ya has been in the Divine Source for too long and his brain has been sealed and made stupid?" Duan De muttered to himself.

Cao Ya glanced over, and Duan De immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts and gave an awkward smile.

"The sons of the ancient emperors were all unparalleled figures throughout history. They were all just half a step away from attaining enlightenment, possessing incomparable talent and terrifyingly powerful bloodline strength. If they hadn't been born in the same era as their emperor fathers, they would have been extraordinary, even ascending to the heavens!" the old blind man said, implying that if normal imperial sons and princes were already so powerful, and the son of the Undying Emperor had absorbed the Eye of Creation, then if the Emperor's son wasn't worth paying attention to, then who should?

Sage Cao Ya, you cannot ignore him just because you are now powerful and your cultivation surpasses that of the Heavenly Emperor's son!

The old blind man pondered these last words for a moment, but didn't say them aloud.

After all, he wasn't very close to Cao Ya.

"The bloodline of the ancient emperors and the first generation of emperors is indeed frightening. Alas, it is a pity that the Great Emperor Wushi had no biological sons or daughters and could not inherit the power of the innate holy body Dao embryo." As the Black Emperor spoke, he stared at Ye Fan and said, "I heard that the holy maiden of the Eastern Wilderness Purple Mansion Holy Land is an innate Dao embryo. Little Ye, she is a great beauty. You are lucky."

"Get lost!" Ye Fan rolled his eyes.

"You don't want such a good thing? Little Yezi, there must be something wrong with you." Black Emperor exclaimed in surprise, and finally revealed his true purpose, "Hehe, I don't ask for anything else, as long as you unite with that Purple Mansion Saintess and give birth to an innate holy body Dao embryo to inherit the legacy of the Great Emperor Wushi."

"The Emperor's succession isn't unfair to your future son or daughter, is it?"

"That's the invincible Emperor Wushi, the greatest emperor of all time!"

Black King looked proud, then brought his dog face close to Ye Fan.

"Get out of the way." Ye Fan pushed him away. The Great Emperor Wushi had the physique of an innate holy body and Dao embryo. Only those with an innate holy body and Dao embryo could cultivate the "Wushi Scripture". Therefore, the Black Emperor had always wanted Ye Fan, who had the ancient holy body, to unite with the holy maiden of the Purple Mansion Holy Land who had an innate Dao embryo, and give birth to an innate holy body and Dao embryo to inherit the divine power of the Great Emperor Wushi.

As a result, Ye Fan rejected Black Emperor's proposal several times.

For Ye Fan, any woman he marries must be someone he loves and someone with whom he is committed to a lifetime of love.

He had seen the Purple Mansion Saintess before; she was indeed incomparably beautiful, but Ye Fan did not feel any attraction to her.

That was enough for Ye Fan to refuse.

Moreover, the Little Moon Princess Ziyue of the Ancient Ji family, and An Miaoyi, the marks those two left on Ye Fan's heart... were too heavy, too heavy!

Ye Fan had already felt too much regret from An Miaoyi.

She was the only woman who could make Ye Fan waver; even Ji Ziyue could not shake his resolve to cultivate.

Cao Ya ignored the two clowns, raised an eyebrow, smiled faintly, and said:

"I heard before I died that the Heavenly Emperor's son was not the only son of the Immortal Emperor. He should have had a younger brother, who was the son that the Immortal Emperor valued. Even the Eye of Creation was left with four or five openings?"

"Before the Heavenly Emperor's son was sealed away, the Undying Heavenly Emperor gave him two choices. The first path was bright and dazzling, with protectors, peerless immortal treasures, ancient holy medicines, and ancient divine pills—all inexhaustible. The other path, however, only had the Undying Heavenly Blade, which he was to use to cut down the Enlightenment Tea Tree, shatter numerous immortal treasures, and completely sever the first path."

At this point, Cao Ya looked around at everyone and asked with a sigh:

"If it were you, which path would you choose?"

Ye Fan remained silent, putting himself in the other person's shoes to think it over, but he hesitated between the two paths, though he still leaned towards the second one.

"Of course it's... the first path!" Duan De rubbed his hands together excitedly. "If there were so many good things, why would I need to dig up tombs? I'd just dig them up..."

"So you're digging up your own father's grave, the Immortal Emperor?" the old blind man replied calmly.

"Get lost! Do you think I'm such a heartless person?" Duan De laughed and cursed.

But it must be said, the old blind man spoke to his heart.

The remaining treasures are already numerous; the burial site of the Immortal Emperor must contain endless sacred medicines and celestial treasures!

Unfortunately, the depths of this Purple Mountain Tomb have already been ravaged by the Great Emperor Wushi once, and I still cannot enter.

Duan Deshu felt very sorry.

"The Immortal Emperor probably wants the Crown Prince to choose the second path," the Black Emperor pondered.

"Because that way, the Heavenly Emperor's son would have a chance to break free from the influence of the Undying Heavenly Emperor and hopefully become an Ancient Emperor!" the old blind man sighed, at the same time thankful that the Heavenly Emperor's son did not choose that path.

Given the current situation, is there any need to elaborate on the Crown Prince's choice?

“If the Heavenly Prince had truly chosen the second path, he wouldn’t be the Heavenly Prince he is today,” Ye Fan said, then suddenly smiled. “The path the Holy Prince chose should be a celestial iron rod, retracing his father’s path. It’s essentially the second path the Undying Emperor gave to the Heavenly Prince, and also the path the Undying Emperor wanted the Heavenly Prince to choose.”

"It is obvious that the Emperor's son has disappointed the Immortal Emperor."

Ye Fan suddenly understood why Sage Cao Ya had said that the Heavenly Emperor's son did not need to be taken so seriously.

"The Heavenly Emperor's son chose the former, which disappointed the Undying Heavenly Emperor, so he left more of the good things to his younger brother. However, the Heavenly Emperor's son lacks a resilient character, and his Dao heart is not firm or stable enough. Unless the Heavenly Emperor's son encounters a great change later and emerges from the shadow, he can dream of attaining the Dao!" Cao Ya said with a sneer.

At a certain level, what matters is no longer bloodline or physique, but rather a Dao heart, and whether it is clear and transparent.

Understanding one's true nature is never an easy thing.

Having learned of the Heavenly Prince's weaknesses, Ye Fan, the Blind Man, Duan De, and the Black Emperor suddenly realized that the Heavenly Prince was indeed not someone to be taken too seriously.

Of course, it should not be underestimated.

After all, the bloodline of the Emperor's son was enough for him to be arrogant and unparalleled.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Emperor's son also drained a mouthful of the Source of Creation.

In terms of lineage alone, it is no exaggeration to say that no one in the world today can surpass the Emperor's son!

Even the birth of an imperial prince cannot compare.

Which imperial prince absorbed the Eye of Creation?

"The Emperor's younger brother?" Ye Fan suddenly felt a jolt, and his expression changed.

In Cao Ya Shengren's words, he repeatedly mentioned that the Emperor's son had a younger brother who was highly valued by the Immortal Emperor and seemed to have left him many more good things.

“Based on our speculation, the Emperor’s younger brother is not yet due for birth, so there’s no need to worry,” Cao Ya said. “If no one in the world attains enlightenment after such a long time, then there’s nothing more to say.”

With the Great Emperor alive, what is there to fear unless the Immortal Emperor appears?

Everyone immediately relaxed slightly.
