As the top powers in the post-ancient era, Nangong Zheng and the Peacock King both knew how powerful real stars were.
Once it really falls, not only the two of them on the second level of the immortal platform, but the entire southern region of the Eastern Wasteland will be shaken.
Without hesitation, the powerful human Nangong Zheng and the demon Peacock King turned into streams of light and fled madly in one direction without caring about their own reputations.
“Run…Run away?!”
Looking at the fleeing figures of the two big men, Ji Ziyue couldn't help but be stunned.
After she came to her senses, she swallowed and her eyes became complicated when she looked at Ye Fan.
That’s Nangong Zheng and Peacock King!
Even in their Ji family, only the Holy Leader of the Ji family can compete with such a person.
But in front of Ye Fan or Li Yun now, even such a person can only flee in embarrassment.
Looking at the two escaping streaks of light, Li Yun's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, and the thunder was extinguished and the dark clouds dispersed.
"Tsk, he ran away already..."
In his sea of consciousness, Ye Fan sneered with disdain, and then looked at Li Yun's consciousness in the golden lake with a smile on his face.
"Brother, you are so awesome. I admire you!"
"Stop flattering me and look at your sea of suffering first!"
Hearing Li Yun's slightly strange words, Ye Fan was slightly startled, and then he realized that Li Yun's mind had left on its own, giving up control of the sea of consciousness.
Ye Fan felt something was wrong and quickly put his hands back on his body.
The moment he regained control of his body, severe pain attacked him from all parts of his body.
Ye Fan widened his eyes, endured the pain, and looked at his sea of suffering.
The originally golden sea of suffering became dry, and the life spring at the bottom of the sea seemed to have been shut off, shrinking from a gurgling fountain in the square to the size of a faucet.
Even the divine bridge above the Sea of Bitterness had tiny cracks appearing on it.
"…So miserable?"
Ye Fan was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Li, didn't we agree to take it easy?"
"This... is indeed my fault. I didn't expect your body to be so fragile..."
Li Yun answered with some guilt.
What he said was indeed true, but only half true at best.
Because he had a complete grasp of Ye Fan's physical condition.
But he never expected that the cost of moving stars and changing constellations would be much greater than he imagined.
Previously, when I was experimenting with the Tiangang magical power with the power of my soul in the underground lake, I had not yet noticed the abnormality of this world.
But now, when he used the power of the Ancient Saint Body to release [Moving Stars and Changing Constellations], the entire world was reverberating violently, amplifying the power of the original soul power version of the Tiangang magical power by thousands of times.
There is no doubt that this is the difference between Li Yun's soul power and the divine power of the ancient holy body.
After all, the former is an alien object and cannot enjoy local preferential policies.
The latter are the locals and are more acceptable to the rules of this world.
After realizing this, Li Yun had a clearer understanding of his own strength in this world.
In this Dharma Ending World where all spirits are gone and magic is forbidden, his True Immortal-level strength can only reach the level of exploding a galaxy at best.
But in a world like "Zhantian" where the power of heaven and earth is active, his strength will also be boosted by the power of heaven and earth. The previously estimated level of Saint King is definitely not the end, it is at least the level of Great Sage or even Quasi-Emperor.
Of course, the premise of all this is that his physical body can be recognized by the rules of heaven and earth.
But now, he has neither the recognition of the rules of heaven and earth nor a physical body...
Thinking of this, Li Yun couldn't help but set his sights on the several great holy bodies that appeared in the plot.
At the same time, Ye Fan has accepted the reality.
After all, things have come to this, what else can we do?
We can only find ways to repair the sea of suffering and then heal our wounds!
While comforting himself in his heart, he took out the jade bottle and drank tonnes of the holy spring water he got from the ancient forbidden land.
Ji Ziyue next to him also recovered from his standing upright position and trotted to Ye Fan.
"Senior, how are you?"
“…”
Ye Fan glanced at her and sighed, "Senior is very hurt now, please don't talk to me for now."
Ji Ziyue was slightly startled, then her eyes widened and she looked at him angrily: "Okay, it turns out to be you, where is the senior?"
Ye Fan sighed and said, "You dislike my sea of suffering drying up, so you ran to the sea of consciousness..."
Ji Ziyue blinked, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
"Hairy, who is Senior Li?"
"Who knows?" Ye Fan answered casually while closing his eyes to nourish the bitter sea, "I only know that when Brother Li was alive, he was definitely a peerless strong man who dominated the world. Even people of the level of the Holy Lord were not taken seriously by him at all."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yun's unpleasant voice sounded in his mind.
"You were alive, but I'm not dead yet. It's just that my soul has left my body and lost contact with it!"
"Is this the main point?" Ye Fan complained, "Shouldn't the main point be the peerless strong man?"
"Brother, I'm praising you!"
Ji Ziyue was unaware of the spiritual communication between the two. She shook her head and said, "To be able to use the cultivation of the Lunhai Realm to exert a power that even the Peacock King and Nangong Zheng fear, this is no longer something that can be simply described by the word 'strong'."
"He must have mastered some astonishing secret magical power, and he can even surpass the Nine Forbidden Realms and reach..."
Having said that, Ji Ziyue paused, as if hesitant about whether to reveal this information.
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, but considerately did not ask any further questions. Instead, he asked about Li Yun in his heart.
"What does the Nine Prohibitions mean?"
Li Yun explained: "Banned refers to the ability to fight across realms. For example, you are a Shenqiao cultivator in the Lunhai Realm, and the cultivators you killed before are in the Dao Palace Realm. The Dao Palace has five small realms, so they are two to six small realms away from you."
"Being able to fight across two small realms is considered two-level prohibition, and being able to fight across six is considered six-level prohibition."
"Eight prohibitions are a qualitative change, and nine prohibitions are the limit, also known as divine prohibitions, which means that cultivators can cross nine small realms at most to fight against enemies of higher levels."
Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time calculated the gap between himself and Peacock King and Nangong Zheng in his mind.
Suddenly, he took a breath and couldn't help but said, "Brother Li, you used my body to fight against the second level of Xiantai. Doesn't this mean you have crossed more than ten small realms?"
"Does the Nine Forbidden Rules no longer exist?"
"Or is it that the Ancient Saint Body has some special features that allow it to surpass the Nine Forbidden Paths and reach the Ten Forbidden Paths or even the Twenty Forbidden Paths?"
Ye Fan became more and more excited as he spoke, and it seemed that he had already imagined himself beating up the Holy Lord by crossing levels.
"You wish!"
Li Yun ruthlessly shattered his beautiful dream and told him the cold reality: "Prohibitions are only based on realm. I am an immortal from outside the domain. Firstly, I am not from this world and am not affected by it. Secondly, my realm is comparable to that of immortals. Even if I only have a soul now, my realm is higher than theirs. How could I be bound by the so-called nine prohibitions?"
“…I see.”
Ye Fan sighed, seeming a little disappointed.
Afterwards, he chatted with Ji Ziyue for a few more sentences, guessing about Li Yun's background, and then began to concentrate on treating his injuries.
At the same time, since Li Yun had withdrawn his magical power to move stars and change constellations, Ji Ziyue was worried that Nangong Zheng and the Peacock King would sneak back to observe the situation, so she took Ye Fan away.
During the transfer, Li Yun examined Ye Fan's ancient holy body and suddenly said, "Ye Fan."
"……Um?"
"Did you see the magical power I just used?"
“I see!”
Ye Fan instantly became alert, and his spiritual consciousness incarnation looked at Li Yun with sharp eyes.
Li Yun chuckled and said, "Have you heard of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang?"
Ye Fan's eyes lit up: "Of course I've heard of it, Zhu Bajie!"
Li Yun's smile froze, and he said unhappily: "I'm talking about the real Taoist Thirty-Six Heavenly Powers, which are definitely not as simple as thirty-six changes. Just like just now, the magical power I used to defeat Nangong Zheng and Peacock King was one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Powers, which is to move stars and change constellations!"
“Awesome!”
Ye Fan nodded repeatedly and looked at Li Yun with anticipation.
He was not interested in the names of the Thirty-Six Divine Powers of Tiangang, he just wanted to know whether Li Yun wanted to teach him.
As expected, Li Yun chuckled and said, "I have another magical power that is very suitable for your ancient holy body. Do you want to learn it?"
"Brother, teach me!"
Ye Fan answered without hesitation.
Li Yun was not surprised and started explaining directly.
"Listen carefully, this magical power is called [Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi], which is a method used by ancient cultivators to subdue qi and cultivate energy. One can breathe in and out nine times, transforming the vital energy of heaven and earth into magic power. It is most suitable for meditation, breathing regulation, and closed-door cultivation."
"If you can learn [Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi], not only can you recover from your injuries faster, but you can also reduce a lot of pressure on your cultivation resources."
"It is extremely difficult to cultivate the Ancient Saint Body in the Dao Palace Realm. Every time you cross a small realm, the resources required will increase tenfold."
"But with [Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi], you can turn the power of heaven and earth into your own use. Rub the spirit stone with your hands and pinch the source with one hand is not a dream!"
Although it is not some supreme magical power like [Mediating Creation] or [Reversing Yin and Yang], the effect of [Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi] still makes Ye Fan feel extremely excited.
The reason why the Ancient Holy Body is called a waste body is because there are too many resources used in the early stages of cultivation.
With the same resources, those big forces can cultivate more monks with higher realms, and their combat power is even greater than that of the Holy Body.
Under such circumstances, the holy places are naturally unwilling to invest in the Ancient Holy Body.
But now it’s different. Once you have mastered the [Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi], the consumption of resources will no longer be a problem.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt excited, and even the pain in his body suddenly felt relieved.
Afterwards, Ji Ziyue took him to fly tens of thousands of kilometers and found a beautiful place to live in the mountains thousands of miles away.
After placing Ye Fan in the cave behind the waterfall, Ji Ziyue jumped out of the waterfall, ready to find a nearby big city to buy some healing elixirs.
At this time, Li Yun's spiritual thoughts floated out from Ye Fan's sea of consciousness and began to teach him the magical power of [Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi].
Gradually, the power of heaven and earth within the cave began to fluctuate and turned into a vortex, continuously flowing towards Ye Fan in the center.
