While Ye Fan was comprehending the scriptures of the "Western Emperor Sutra", Li Yun was also comprehending the scriptures.
The body he was eyeing was not a fully accomplished holy body that had cultivated all five secret realms, but an ancient holy body that had only cultivated a single secret realm.
Under such circumstances, Li Yun naturally also needed the Dao Palace scriptures of the "Western Emperor Sutra".
After a while, the light in Li Yun's eyes disappeared, and he looked at the stone wall with a smile on his face.
He has already obtained the Dao Palace chapter of the Western Emperor Scripture, and the best of the following four extreme realm scriptures is the Jiang family's Heng Yu Scripture.
But there is no need to rush now. It will not be too late to consider these things after taking over the remains of the holy body.
Thinking of this, Li Yun couldn't help but turn his head and look at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was seen sitting cross-legged under the sun, his eyes closed, holding a Bodhi seed in his right hand, obviously still in a state of contemplation.
Next to him, Ji Ziyue was also sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, meditating.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, six hours had passed.
As the sky brightened, Ji Ziyue opened her eyes first and stood up in high spirits.
After seeing Ye Fan still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Ji Ziyue couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on her face.
"It seems that this senior sister is more understanding!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yun raised his hand and gave her a slap on the face, saying unhappily, "It took six hours, and you call that a high level of understanding?"
Ji Ziyue covered her head, looked at Li Yun with grievance and said: "I am definitely not as good as you, but isn't Ye Fan slower than me~"
Li Yun shook his head and said, "It only took Ye Fan ten minutes to comprehend the scriptures of the Dao Palace Chapter of the Xihuang Sutra. Now, he is striking while the iron is hot and preparing to use the insights left by Xihuangmu in the past to break through the Dao Palace secret realm in one go."
"…It's only been a few days, and you're going to break through again?!"
Ji Ziyue ignored the pain in her forehead and looked at Ye Fan in astonishment.
Sure enough, in her perception, Ye Fan's five internal organs became extremely active.
Especially the heart, which represents the divine treasure of the Taoist Palace secret realm, is blooming with a blazing red light like the sun.
There are five divine treasures in the Taoist Palace, corresponding to the five major organs of heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. They are collectively called the five internal organs, also known as the five gods. They store essence and energy without discharging them, and contain life and make it immortal. It is an extremely important one among the five secret realms.
As the saying goes, if a person can nourish his spirit, he will not die. If the five spirits are always present, he can live forever.
Among the five internal organs, the heart is the most important; it is the sun and sky of the human body and the foundation of the five internal organs.
It is for this reason that the Taoist scriptures left by Queen Mother of the West took the form of an imprint of the sun.
Not long after, Ye Fan's body suddenly rumbled like thunder.
Li Yun immediately activated his eyes' divine light and used the technique of [Seeing Through Walls] to observe the situation inside Ye Fan's body.
I saw the heart in his body transformed into the shape of a flaming sun, and his five internal organs evolved into five energies, like five long dragons rising into the sky, forming a strange scene of five-colored divine smoke penetrating the sky in the outside world.
Seeing this scene, Ji Ziyue was stunned. After a long while, she murmured, "Is it really a breakthrough?"
A smile appeared on Li Yun's face. In the world of Shrouding the Sky, from ancient times to the present, the truly strong ones have never dominated the world by relying solely on their physique.
Taking the Ancient Holy Body as an example, there are many strong people who possess this physique, but in the end only Ye Fan can become the best.
This is because the truly powerful one is not the Ancient Holy Body, but Ye Fan himself.
While Li Yun was sighing in his heart, he looked around to protect Ye Fan who was breaking through.
Not long after, the five energies in Ye Fan's body converged, and he opened his eyes with a bright gaze, and stood up lightly.
"Successful?"
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded and said with a smile, "Now, I am also a cultivator in the Dao Palace Realm!"
Ji Ziyue curled her lips and said in a sour tone: "It's just the Dao Palace Realm. I have already reached that level, and the best of the younger generation are at least at the Four Extremes Realm. You have only just entered the Dao Palace, and you are still far away!"
"Really?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes, raised his hand and emitted a golden-red light, eager to try, "How about we practice with each other?"
"You're going to use the Great Sun Divine Light that my master taught you to blast me?"
Ji Ziyue's eyes widened, and she quickly ran behind Li Yun and said angrily: "Master, beat him!"
“…”
Li Yun pulled the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to suppress both of them, and said unhappily: "Stop making trouble... Ye Fan, now that you have entered the Dao Palace, plus the Great Sun Divine Light I taught you, ordinary people in the Four Extreme Realms are not your opponents."
"That's right. I figured out that you had another adventure in the Northern Territory, but I also have things to do. Are you willing to go it alone?"
"Ah?" Ji Ziyue couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise when she heard Li Yun's words that seemed to be trying to drive her away.
She quickly turned her head to look at Ye Fan, only to find that Ye Fan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"…Are you really going to leave?"
Ji Ziyue looked at Ye Fan hesitantly.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "A fledgling can't always be under the wings of its elders. I've been living comfortably by Brother Li's side for so long, it's time for me to go out and explore on my own!"
Ye Fan looked at Li Yun and said, "Brother, you said I had another adventure in the Northern Territory. Can you tell me the location?"
Li Yun nodded, then shook his head: "I only know that it is a purple mountain, and it is related to the Nine Secrets, but I don't know the exact location. I only know that it is probably tens of thousands of miles away from the Northern Territory Holy City, and it is in the same direction as the source mine controlled by the Yaoguang Holy Land."
"If you are interested, you can go and ask about it after you leave."
An adventure related to the Nine Secrets!
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "That's not even necessary, big brother, send me out now!"
Li Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will teach you a technique first. This technique is called [Marrying Dreams], which is one of the seventy-two earthly magic powers."
"After mastering this magical power, you and I can communicate through dreams no matter how far apart we are. If you are in danger, you can also guide my divine thoughts to come to you through your dreams. In this way, I don't need to leave my divine thoughts in your body, and I can help you at any time."
Hearing Li Yun's words, Ye Fan immediately calmed down.
but……
"Three?"
Ye Fan looked at the purple-clothed girl beside him with some surprise.
The girl put her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "I learned it a long time ago!"
…
…
Three days later, somewhere in the Northern Territory, in an oasis called Quzhou.
This place has a radius of more than 3,000 miles and cannot be considered a big state. There are many such oases in the vast northern region, so it looks inconspicuous.
The reason why Li Yun, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue came here is because this state is jointly controlled by the ancient Ji family and the Yaoguang Holy Land, and a lot of information related to the two families can be heard from here.
The city in the center of Quzhou is an ancient city called Chaoyang City.
Li Yun transformed himself into a young man in a blue shirt, sitting on the rooftop of a teahouse, drinking tea while looking at the streets outside the building.
Next to him, there was a purple-dressed girl with a bright smile, who was diligently serving him tea and water and massaging his shoulders and back.
Such attentive and even flattering appearance made the tea drinkers around him extremely envious.
But Li Yun felt a little helpless.
He put down the teacup, looked at Ji Ziyue helplessly and said: "I'm telling you, just take a break. We are just separated from Ye Fan for a while, not a life-and-death separation. Besides, didn't I teach him the [Marry Dream] magical power?"
"Even if something really happens, the divine thoughts can arrive in time..."
Hearing Li Yun's words, Ji Ziyue curled her lips, put down the teapot, and sat opposite Li Yun.
"Since Ye Fan's adventure is related to the Nine Secrets, why can't we go together?"
Li Yun explained: "I didn't say I wouldn't go, but it's better to wait until I finish the things on hand."
This incarnation's power is limited and cannot be replenished, and he can't wait to replace it with a real body of flesh and blood.
It just so happened that he had heard some information about the demon clan in Quzhou. After sending Ye Fan away, he would go to look for the demon clan’s Green Dragon King.
As for why he didn't bring Ye Fan with him, it was because the holy bodies had mutual induction, and he was not sure whether his act of taking over the holy body would have any impact on Ye Fan.
Taking this into consideration, Li Yun simply sent Ye Fan away.
It just so happens that in the original plot, Ye Fan had two extremely important adventures in the Northern Territory.
That is the inheritance of Master Yuan Tianshi, and the secret of the word "dou" passed down to him by Jiang Taixu, the God King of the Jiang family.
Both of these things are extremely important and will have a profound impact on Ye Fan's future life.
If Ye Fan missed these two things because of Li Yun, it would be a loss.
Right here, Li Yun turned his eyes and saw a young man in a green shirt walking up to the top floor and walking towards the two of them with a smile. It was Ye Fan who went to inquire about Zishan's news.
"…Did you find out?"
Ye Fan nodded, sat next to Ji Ziyue, and said with a piercing look in his eyes: "I have heard that there is indeed a purple mountain near a source mine in the Yaoguang Holy Land. The place is very mysterious, and it is said that a figure of the level of the Supreme Elder has died there."
“So even the Yaoguang Holy Land doesn’t dare to go there to investigate easily.”
Ji Ziyue frowned and asked, "Is it so dangerous?"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have Brother Li as my backer, so I'm definitely safer than them."
Besides...that's the secret of the word Dou!
The world's number one secret fighting method, even a big shot with a very discerning vision like Li Yun said that it was an ultimate offensive technique, how could Ye Fan miss it?
"When are you planning to leave?"
"Now!"
Li Yun was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Now?"
Ye Fan nodded.
Li Yun showed understanding on his face, then raised his hand and drew several strange arcs in the air.
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan widened his eyes and said quickly: "Wait, I mean we can leave now, not here——"
Before he finished his words, a pitch-black vortex about the height of a person suddenly appeared, and mysterious Taoist patterns surrounded the vortex.
All the tea drinkers around suddenly stood up and looked at the void gate that exuded a terrifying aura in astonishment.
Li Yun didn't pay any attention to the people around him, he just stared at Ye Fan and said softly: "If the domain gate is unstable, don't forget to use the void seal."
"...I will."
Ye Fan showed helplessness, then stood up and stepped in under the watchful eyes of everyone.
When the dark vortex disappeared, Li Yun's aura changed, and it was like a scorching sun shining on the sky and earth, emitting an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, making the people watching around him feel a little breathless.
Everyone's faces turned pale and terrified, and they had obviously realized that this was a great man with unparalleled cultivation.
Li Yun didn't care about them. He waved his hand, emitting golden light, and flew out of the teahouse with Ji Ziyue. In the blink of an eye, they crossed a hundred and twenty miles and arrived at a quiet and peaceful mountain village outside Chaoyang City.
This place may look ordinary, but it is actually the stronghold of the thirteen major bandits in the Northern Territory.
At this time, an old acquaintance of Li Yun was visiting this stronghold.
"boom!!"
With a loud bang, the sky changed color and an inexplicable sense of oppression spread out.
The handsome young man who was talking to someone in the stone house suddenly looked up at the sky, and saw a heroic young man floating in the air, with golden light shining all over his body and bright eyes, staring at him across the stone house.
And next to the heroic young man, there was a figure that looked very familiar to him.
It was Ji Ziyue who had stayed with the mysterious young man in the mountains.
"We meet again..."
The heroic young man spoke slowly, his voice spreading out like rolling thunder, containing a hint of indescribable amusement and laughter.
"Little peacock."
"Do you still remember me?"
