In the next few days, Ye Fan continued on his journey and soon left the State of Wei and arrived tens of thousands of miles away.

He originally wanted to cross the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness and go to the Northern Territory, but the journey was too long. Even if he had the incomplete secret of the word "Xing", it would take at least several years or even more than ten years.

There was no other way, Ye Fan could only stop temporarily and look for an opportunity to use the domain gate to cross the void.

He came to a small mountain village and practiced in seclusion there for a period of time. During this period, he also changed his appearance and went to the surrounding big cities to inquire about some important news in the southern part of East Wilderness.

There, he learned that Nangong Zheng, a powerful human who was suspected to have passed away five hundred years ago, had reappeared in the world and visited Taixuan Gate.

The powerful Peacock King, a demon who swept across the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness eight hundred years ago, appeared again and showed up in the territory of Wei State.

There is no doubt that they were all alarmed by the turmoil in Taixuan Sect and returned to the world.

Especially the powerful Peacock King from the demon clan. As soon as he was born, he went to the ancient Ji family and smashed the door plaque with a slap, in revenge for the Ji family's previous actions of clearing out many demons.

The Ji family was furious and issued a kill order that day, mobilizing many supreme elders to surround and kill the Peacock King.

But the Peacock King did not show any weakness. He remained silent for several days and suddenly appeared at Taixuan Gate, where he killed a supreme elder who was a guest of the Ji family on the spot.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Fan was shocked, but also fascinated.

If he also had such strength, why would he retreat in front of those super powers?

Thinking of this, Ye Fan practiced even harder.

But unlike in the original novel, this time he was not in a hurry to reach the other side, but instead studied the Great Sun Divine Light diligently, wanting to thoroughly master this scientific magical power taught to him by Li Yun.

In the short term, this choice is quite correct.

The increase in combat power after cultivating the Great Sun Divine Light is definitely much higher than being promoted to a smaller realm.

What's more, he also has the "Jie" secret that can increase the power tenfold.

If the Great Sun Divine Light can also be triggered, then he will have a special move that can be called a trump card!

Time keeps passing in days like this.

Until that day, footsteps were heard outside the stone house where Ye Fan lived in seclusion.

Then, a weak but familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Little kid..."

Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, and the hot aura surging from his body destroyed the surrounding equipment, causing it to burn fiercely.

But he no longer cared about so much. He immediately turned into a rainbow light and flew out of the stone house, and saw the weak girl outside the house.

At this moment, her face was extremely pale, with traces of blood on her red lips. She just stood by the pond and smiled at Ye Fan.

"What's going on?"

Ye Fan was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support her.

Ji Ziyue's mouth curved, dimples appeared, and she said weakly: "Haven't you heard the latest news?"

Ye Fan thought about it for a moment, frowned and said, "Is it the Peacock King?"

"You were also hunted by him?"

Ji Ziyue shook her head: "He was after my brother, I was just an innocent victim."

Ye Fan helped her sit down, took out the jade bottle, and poured some of the magic spring into her mouth.

The holy spring is taken from nine sacred mountains in an ancient forbidden land, and has the powerful effect of bringing the dead back to life.

Ji Ziyue just drank it, and her severely injured internal organs began to recover rapidly.

After successfully stabilizing her injuries, Ji Ziyue opened her eyes and looked at Ye Fan weakly.

"Little brat, why did you leave without saying a word? I chased you for three thousand miles but still couldn't catch up with you. Did Senior Li teach you some lost ancient escape technique?"

"Is this the time to talk about this?"

Ye Fan replied unhappily, and then asked worriedly: "What happened? How did you escape from the Peacock King?"

Ji Ziyue sighed and said with some worry: "It was my brother. He and I escaped separately. The Peacock King valued him more, which gave me the opportunity to escape."

"...That's really a coincidence. You just happened to escape to my side."

"It's not a coincidence~" Ji Ziyue smiled, "I left a mark on you and escaped here on purpose!"

"What?"

Ye Fan stared at Ji Ziyue with his eyes wide open. He actually had no idea that Ji Ziyue had played tricks on him.

And it wasn't just him. Li Yun's divine consciousness hidden in his sea of ​​suffering didn't seem to notice it either...

Looking at Ye Fan's expression, Ji Ziyue seemed to be able to see through his heart, and said with a smile: "Senior Li had already discovered it, but he thought I would definitely not harm you, so he did not stop me."

"You don't believe me, but you also don't believe Senior Li?"

Ye Fan frowned tightly and couldn't help but glare at her. Then he decisively began to look inside his body, trying to find the mark left by Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue said with a smile: "Just go and look for it. If you can find it, you'll be awesome!"

At this moment, Ji Ziyue's expression changed and she couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in the sky, and several monks with powerful auras flew out of it.

"…They are the ones who are chasing me!"

Ji Ziyue gritted her teeth and stood up, saying apologetically: "I thought I got rid of them. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble..."

Ye Fan shook his head: "What do you mean by implicate me? If you don't come to me, I will blame you!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan rode the rainbow light and soared into the sky. He looked at the monks with a sharp gaze and said:

"I'll use you to try out my new magical power!"

The several monks glanced and locked their eyes on Ye Fan who was flying below. Then, without saying a word, they waved their hands decisively and released an ancient tall tower to suppress him.

Seeing this scene, Ye Fan's face changed slightly.

As everyone knows, in the world of Shrouding the Sky, most of the cultivators who use towers, bells, and tripods are the best in their realm.

"Can you win?"

Ye Fan's heart was beating fast, but he still gritted his teeth and used the magical power he had just cultivated for the first time.

In the sky, the five-story tower rumbled down like a mountain falling from the sky, so heavy that it made people breathless.

On the ground, Ji Ziyue widened her eyes and looked at Ye Fan's back in surprise.

She didn't expect this guy to be so brave. Facing an enemy who was one level higher than him, he dared to face him head-on.

"Hairy boy, don't--"

Ji Ziyue called out to Ye Fan anxiously, trying to stop him.

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly shouted loudly, and an extremely bright golden-red light burst out from his body.

The next moment, Ye Fan's golden sea of ​​suffering began to stir, causing huge waves.

Countless divine powers were attracted by some force and rushed into the body surface frantically like flowing into the sea.

At the same time, Ye Fan continued to practice the Jie Zi secret, trying to trigger a tenfold increase in combat power.

Perhaps it was really destiny that after only the third operation, Ye Fan successfully triggered the secret of the word "Jie".

But what he didn't expect was that triggering the secret of the word "Jie" did not seem to be good news for him.

Because the [Great Sun Divine Light] that had not yet been released suddenly turned into a bottomless pit. While the energy increased tenfold, it was also continuously absorbing all the energy in Ye Fan's body.

Under this devouring force that was like a bottomless pit, Ye Fan's divine power dimmed and the sea of ​​suffering almost dried up.

This can't go on any longer!

Ye Fan realized that something was wrong, so he gritted his teeth, shouted, and condensed the golden-red light on his body, and blasted it towards the tall tower above his head.

It’s a pity that this energy is so huge that Ye Fan is unable to control it accurately at the moment.

The golden-red light only flashed a few times on his body, symbolically gathered towards his arms for less than a second, and then exploded in Ji Ziyue's extremely shocked gaze.

"boom!!!"

The terrifying energy fluctuations swept over, turning into hot tides and powerful shock waves that spread in all directions.

In just a moment, the high tower affected by the golden-red energy collapsed layer by layer.

The faces of the monks floating on the high tower changed drastically. Just as they were about to turn around and escape, they were swept up by the violent golden-red energy.

"ah!!"

Miserable wails were heard from the sky. Several cultivators who were far more powerful than Ye Fan were constantly annihilated in the violent golden-red energy tide, and finally turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

Looking from above, it looked like a second sun had risen above the ground.

The area within a radius of thirty kilometers was covered by the blazing divine light.

The earth in the distance dried up and cracked, the leaves curled and turned yellow, black smoke came out of the tree trunks, and finally burst into flames.

And in the closer places, everything seemed to be burned by flames. The stone house that originally stood directly below Ye Fan had long disappeared. The earth seemed to have been hit violently by a meteorite, forming a huge crater with crystals on the surface.

About 3,000 meters above the meteorite crater, Li Yun controlled a golden strange bird with his spiritual power. The bird flapped its wings and floated in the air, looking down with a frown.

In his claws, he was holding a girl in purple, who was Ji Ziyue who had narrowly avoided the aftermath of the energy.

At this time, Ji Ziyue's face was pale, and she stared in amazement at the golden-red figure floating below. She seemed to have not expected that this little kid, who was so much lower in realm than her, actually possessed such a powerful magical power.

At this moment, Ye Fan, who was floating in the air, suddenly fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Ji Ziyue suddenly woke up and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Furry boy!"

Seeing this, Li Yun sighed, grabbed Ji Ziyue and flew down, landing next to the meteorite crater.

Ji Ziyue broke free from the bird's claws, quickly jumped into the meteorite crater, and came in front of Ye Fan.

After discovering that Ye Fan was just weak and unconscious, and not seriously injured or unconscious, Ji Ziyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death, fur boy, are you okay?"

"……fine."

Ye Fan glanced at her, replied softly, then turned to look at the golden bird on the edge of the crater above.

"Brother Li, you really didn't lie to me, but... the aftereffects are too strong, right?"

Ye Fan smiled bitterly and said: "It's like hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred!"

"Bullshit." Li Yun's mind flew out of the golden bird, transformed into a heroic young man and fell into the meteorite crater. He said unhappily, "Who told you to use the Jie Zi Secret? Without this tenfold increase in power, you will definitely be in trouble!"

Ye Fan smiled awkwardly: "I'm just worried that I can't get rid of them..."
