Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

The underground lake is shrouded in mist and shimmering with ripples, and the shore is lined with lush trees and fragrant flowers and plants.

Between the countless towering ancient trees, there was an open space with a radius of ten meters. A young boy was sitting cross-legged on the open space, and next to him was a heroic young man in a green shirt.

The two men sat opposite each other, each of them emitting golden and silver light.

Through the golden light on the boy's body, one can see that in the sea of ​​suffering in his body, the essence of Xuanhuang is as bright as the moonlight and the sun, dazzling and eye-catching. Next to it, lines of Xuanhuang Qi flow naturally, like misty fog, mysterious and profound, wrapping a piece of green copper and constantly flowing.

Next to the two of them, under a towering ancient tree, a beautiful girl was imprisoned there, with her eyes wide open, looking angrily at the two people sitting opposite each other in front of her.

"How long will it take?!"

The girl couldn't help but yell.

The heroic young man opened his eyes, glanced at her, then turned his head and said seriously: "To be honest, Ye Fan, I think the talent of this girl you are bringing is quite good. Her physique is also rare in the world. Why not..."

Li Yun's seemingly intentional words rang in his ears, causing Ye Fan's body to tremble slightly.

He quickly opened his eyes, looked at Li Yun with a vigilant look on his face and said, "Senior, I didn't realize you had this habit!"

"Go to hell!" Li Yun cursed with a smile, and then said calmly, "To be honest, this girl is from the Ji family, right? Judging from her physique, she must be an important figure in the Ji family. You are carrying her all the way like this, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Ji family?"

Ye Fan sighed and said, "I'm just afraid, that's why I want to bring her with me!"

"Haven't I already told you about my experiences before I came here?"

Li Yun nodded and turned his gaze to Ye Fan's sea of ​​suffering.

There, in addition to the green copper block that occupied the fountain of life, there was also a heart as bright as a ruby.

That is the sacred object of the demon clan, the heart of the first great emperor of the post-ancient times, the Green Emperor!

Before coming to this lake, Ye Fan was tricked by an unscrupulous Taoist priest and was unfortunately imprisoned by the demon clan.

The demon tribes took a fancy to his ancient holy body and placed the Demon Emperor's heart into the Life Spring in Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness, hoping to use the unique divine spring of the ancient holy body to nourish the Demon Emperor's heart.

But what they didn’t know was that Ye Fan’s life fountain had already been occupied by the mysterious green copper block.

When the Demon Emperor's Heart encountered the green copper block, it was instantly suppressed by it and began to be used by Ye Fan instead.

Afterwards, Ye Fan stayed in the demon tribe’s base for a while, until the ancient aristocratic family, the Ji clan, set their sights on this group of demons.

Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family, had just completed his cultivation and wanted to use this group of monsters as a test stone, so he brought people to attack.

The demon tribes fought with the Ji family cultivators in turns, but were eventually defeated. They could only take advantage of the opportunity when Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the Demon Emperor, showed the vision of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and clashed with Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family, to cover Ye Fan, or the Demon Emperor's Heart, to escape.

On the way, Ye Fan and others were surrounded by monks from the Ji family. After various accidents, Ye Fan successfully kidnapped Ji Ziyue - the girl that Li Yun saw - and took her to jump into the underground river in the canyon and came to this lake.

When talking about this experience, Ye Fan looked calm and did not feel any emotion.

Obviously, this experience of being hunted down was commonplace for him.

It should be said that ever since being brought to the Big Dipper Star Region by the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, Ye Fan has been being hunted in various ways. He is either being hunted by powerful forces or on the way to the next hunt.

With such a ridiculous experience, it is no wonder that Ye Fan is still a little wary of Li Yun until now.

Li Yun looked at Ye Fan's bitter sea with a sharp gaze, and chuckled, "According to the agreement, after the Dao pattern on the green copper block is imprinted, this Demon Emperor's Heart will be mine, right?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Of course, if you can take it!"

To be honest, if one were to just offer sacrifices to the Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things, with the help of Li Yun's soul power, it would take no more than three days to successfully condense it.

But Ye Fan was a greedy guy. He did not rush to recast the small tripod. Instead, he let the Xuanhuang essence wrap the green copper block, and repeatedly engraved and hammered it, trying to engrave the natural Taoist patterns on the green copper block.

Coincidentally, Li Yun also discovered the Demon Emperor's Heart in Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness at this time.

He was very interested in this heart, so he asked Ye Fan for the Demon Emperor's Heart on the pretext of overtime pay.

Ye Fan was also wary of the foreign objects in this sea of ​​suffering. The two hit it off and agreed that as long as Li Yun could break the seal and take away the Demon Emperor's Heart, Ye Fan would give it to Li Yun.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Yun smiled.

The heart of the Green Emperor is naturally a rare sacred object of flesh and blood. With this thing, he might be able to make preparations for both scenarios.

Of course, if it is not necessary, Li Yun does not intend to really use the Demon Emperor's Heart to reshape his body. After all, he knows that the Green Emperor is still alive...

After that, after several more days, the Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things in Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness finally took shape.

To be honest, something like the source of the mother energy of all things is naturally extremely precious to Ye Fan.

But for Li Yun, that's just the way it is.

Apart from anything else, the existence of the gray fog alone is in no way inferior to the source of the mother energy of all things.

Before Li Yun fell into his current situation, he used gray fog as a basic resource for cultivation.

At the same time, in the process of refining the Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things, Ye Fan took advantage of the fact that the Demon Emperor's Heart still belonged to him, and continued to rely on the power of the green copper block to exploit the Demon Emperor's blood from the Demon Emperor's Heart.

Under the tempering of the Demon Emperor's blood, his body was reborn, his flesh became crystal clear, like a colored glaze lamp, flawless and spotless.

Finally, after three transformations, the Demon Emperor could no longer endure it and broke the seal of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and flew high into the sky.

Li Yun was well prepared and had set up a tight net around him.

The Demon Emperor's Heart had just broken through Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness when he suppressed it with his backhand.

At this point, the preliminary deal between Li Yun and Ye Fan was finally reached.

Ye Fan achieved his goal and was satisfied, so he took the girl Ji Ziyue away.

At the same time, leaving with him was Li Yun's divine consciousness, which was placed on his Bitter Sea Divine Bridge.

As for Li Yun's original soul, it stayed in this lake filled with the Xuanhuang Qi with the Demon Emperor's heart.

After arriving on the surface, Ye Fan was surprised to find that after drifting in the underground river for a month, they still had not left the State of Wei, but had only come from the west to the east.

There is a super powerful force here, named Taixuan.

It covers a vast area, and the endless fairy mountains in the east all belong to this sect. Among the endless mountains, there are 108 main peaks. Each main peak represents a heritage of the Taixuan Sect, and each heritage is far superior to those small sects that Ye Fan had seen before.

In this vast area, apart from the Ji family and the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Taixuan Sect is the strongest super sect.

Ye Fan didn't dare to provoke an existence of this level, so he sneaked into the nearest big city in a low-key manner and inquired about the news during this period.

Sure enough, the most popular person in the past two months is Ji Ziyue’s brother, Ji Haoyue, the Ji family’s divine body.

His divine body has just taken shape and he has risen up strongly. In the past period of time, he has been constantly attacking the demon tribe's settlements. Now he has even challenged the caves of several big demons and has been invincible without a single defeat.

Many forces were secretly wondering why Ji Haoyue and the Ji family were making such a big fuss.

There are endless speculations, but none of them hit the point.

Only Ye Fan knew that the Ji family was making such a fuss most likely to find Ji Ziyue who was by his side.

Because he did not hear any news about Ji Ziyue's disappearance, it was as if the Ji family had taken the initiative to conceal this news.

After discovering this, Ye Fan became more low-key.

In the cave connected to the underground river, Ye Fan returned with a large amount of food supplies.

On the way, he whispered in his heart: "What kind of physique does Ji Ziyue have, and why is she so valued by the Ji family?"

Li Yun smiled and said, "Why, you are interested now? Didn't you deliberately avoid this topic before?"

Ye Fan sighed and said, "It was because of your joke that I thought you really wanted to take her body. Now that I have been with you for so long, I have figured it out. Even if you die, you will never give up your identity as a man."

Li Yun pulled the corner of his mouth and said unhappily: "Speak properly and stop teasing me!"

Ye Fan agreed with a smile.

Li Yun said seriously: "Ji Ziyue's physique is called Yuanling Body. This physique is in harmony with the law and can turn the power of heaven and earth into its own use. It can not only replenish the power of others, but also forcibly borrow the power of heaven and earth to enhance combat power and fight against enemies of higher levels."

Ye Fan was stunned and asked: "So strong?"

Li Yun shook his head and said, "It's unlucky for that girl. Her physique is actually the most suitable for cultivating immortals, but unfortunately, she was born in the wrong world. In this world today, the Yuanling body can only play an auxiliary function, and the pearl is covered in dust."

“…”

Ye Fan frowned and suddenly said: "Senior, didn't you say before that I couldn't learn that kind of enlightenment technique? What about Ji Ziyue?"

Li Yun nodded and said, "She does have a talent for this."

Ye Fan blinked and asked: "Then why..."

Li Yun said calmly: "Why should I teach her? You are the one who made a deal with me, and you are the one who can grow up in this world. Unless you two get married right here, don't even think about getting anything from me!"

During the time they spent together, the interaction between Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue was extremely awkward.

They are just like a quarreling couple, fighting and torturing each other every day.

Li Yun has been eating dog food for so many days, and he has long wanted to express his feelings to these two happy enemies——

Damn it, you two, just date me!

Hearing the senior's blunt words, Ye Fan's old face flushed, and he quickly said: "Senior, you can't say that. You can teach me first, and then I will use your magic to trade the Ji family ancient scripture with her. In this way, everyone will benefit and win, and I can also become stronger as soon as possible and find a suitable body for you!"

“…That makes sense.”

Li Yun nodded and said calmly: "However, I have a better idea. How about I build a stone house for you, and you can take her in, tie her up, and force her to hand over the ancient scripture, or we can have the wedding night right there?"
