I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The crowd gathered for a long time, and only dispersed when the Yaochi Gathering was about to begin.

Ye Fan was going to investigate, and Luo Mo gave him something before he left.

"This tower is a King's divine weapon, and there is also a King's puppet inside. Although its strength is not comparable to a true Dao-Slaying King, it is equivalent to a Holy Lord-level figure. Take this with you when you go to investigate, and it can keep you safe."

Luo Mo couldn't possibly let Ye Fan run around with the Saint's remains. Now that Saints are hard to find, giving a King's magic weapon and puppet is enough to ensure Ye Fan's safety.

"This is enough."

Ye Fan happily accepted the gray crystal tower.

With a puppet that could rival a Holy Lord and a King's divine weapon, Ye Fan believed that he could handle anything as long as the opponent didn't live in a forbidden area.

Under Ji Haoyue's extremely displeased gaze, Ye Fan went to investigate with his sister, while he and Luo Mo went to Yaochi to participate in the Yaochi Gathering. After all, the Ji family and Yaoguang were deeply united.

Yaoguang and the demon race, under the mediation of Yaochi, began peace talks, but the peace talks ended in failure after only half a day.

Xiao Yan did not show his face, but the effect he exerted behind the scenes swayed the situation.

He just went to the mining area occupied by the demon race and pointed out to the demon miners how to mine the source ore veins. Within a day, he mined several pieces of divine source, as well as some treasures sealed in the source, and countless pure sources.

Although this mining area was also a rich mine in Yaoguang's hands, it only produced a thousand catties of pure source per month. But Xiao Yan came for a stroll and discovered the treasure in this mine, the value of which was incalculable.

Although Jiang Li had also come to see this mine before.

The demon race is neither a Holy Land nor an ancient aristocratic family. The Qing Emperor's weapon only came into being in recent years. In the past, when the Northern Territory was dividing the cake, the Holy Land and the aristocratic families had the final say, and they could only pick up some scraps. When had they ever seen such a fortune?

After all, even the Holy Land rarely sees this kind of scene. Source Arts families are independent of the Holy Land.

But now, their demon race has mined so much wealth in the mining area that even if someone wants peace and reason, it's impossible, drowned out by the shouts of others.

After all, most of the demon race migrated from other regions of the Eastern Wilderness, and only the Northern Territory produces source. Where have they seen so much source?

In addition, the idea of the strong preying on the weak has always been the mainstream among the demon race. Not to mention returning the source mines, now many demon races are shouting to capture a few more source mines, and even set their sights on the other Holy Lands and aristocratic families.

After Qing Jiao King and others realized that the situation was not right, they began to quell this internal thinking, but at this time, the demon race's orthodoxy was already a behemoth, which can be called bloated. They couldn't ignore the opinions of the other dozens of demon race powerhouses, after all, everyone had contributed when dealing with Yaoguang and the Ji family.

Naturally, the peace talks failed. Not only was the demon race unwilling to hand over the benefits they had already obtained, but they even wanted Yaoguang to take out more mining areas, claiming to exchange them for peace.

Yaoguang Holy Lord Li Daoqing smashed a table on the spot, flicked his sleeves and left, declaring that if they wanted to fight, then fight.

The major Holy Lands were a little frightened, after all, these were two forces with Emperor's weapons. If they really fought, the other sects in the Eastern Wilderness would likely be affected.

There was no way, after discussing with the major Holy Lands and sects, they sent some representatives to act as mediators, half persuading and half arranging for both sides to temporarily cease fighting and no longer conflict, in order to maintain order in the Eastern Wilderness. After all, if it really got chaotic, it would be difficult to ensure that their respective interests would not be affected. It was better to waste a little saliva and calm things down.

After that, the Eastern Wilderness demon race announced the establishment of the demon God Holy Land, intending to establish the foundation of the sect as the demon Emperor's holy weapon and the Divine Phoenix Sutra.

After all, the Qing Emperor's scriptures are not passed on, and the demon race that joins can only learn the Divine Phoenix Sutra, and only great demons can.

However, the little demons also have their own benefits. They can contribute to the Holy Land and exchange for scriptures and secret techniques. The scriptures and secret techniques recorded on the Qi Luck God Stele are becoming more and more numerous.

The demon God Holy Land established Xiao Yan as the God Son and Yan Ruyu as the Goddess, with the strongest cultivator, Chi Jiao Taoist, as the Holy Lord.

However, although the demon race Holy Land has been established, there are too many and too mixed demons in it, and it is not easy to manage. Conflicts often occur with the human race, and because the demon race has a good relationship with the great bandits, many demons often mix with the great bandits after coming to the Northern Territory, plundering the Holy Land's mining areas, and friction is constant.

Peace is inherently difficult to last, especially relying on such a fragile relationship as verbal agreements.

"What's going on with this little girl?"

Luo Mo looked at the little girl, who also opened her eyes wide to look at him.

"I found Nannan in the Yin Yang Sect's station. I knew her before. She has no relatives, so I had to bring her back."

Is this the Ruthless Great Emperor's Dao Fruit?

Luo Mo didn't look at this little girl too much, and handed her a spiritual fruit.

The little girl said 'Thank you, big brother' and then stayed quietly to the side, letting the two older brothers discuss things.

"How was the matter resolved? Is it related to the Yin Yang Sect?"

When Luo Mo asked this, Ye Fan was a little embarrassed, "Yes, when I found the abducted children, I found that it was the people of the Yin Yang Sect who were doing this. They also wanted to besiege and kill me and Ziyue. I had no choice but to..."

"Just what?"

"Just out of self-defense, I killed some people."

Luo Mo: "..."

"Including several elders."

"After all, they were at fault first. There's nothing wrong with you taking action in self-defense."

Ye Fan looked at Luo Mo's face, and then quickly said, "And their Holy Maiden."

"..."

Worthy of you.

"I remember I gave you a King's divine weapon and puppet. Isn't it easy to capture them? How did it become like this?" Luo Mo couldn't help but ask.

You killed the Holy Son and Holy Maiden, you're really something.

Ye Fan complained, "It can't be blamed on me either. They had a secret treasure that directly smashed the King's divine weapon you gave me. I thought it was some old monster taking action, and in a moment of excitement, I let the puppet you gave me go all out, and then—"

Then something happened, didn't it?

Speaking of which, the King's puppet was particularly ruthless, and the Yin Yang Holy Maiden was torn apart alive.

He took out the gray crystal tower for Luo Mo to see. Sure enough, a good King's divine weapon had been beaten into a hornet's nest, with many small, dense holes.

"Star sand refined from Saint's bone powder?"

Luo Mo asked, he remembered that the Yin Yang Sect Holy Maiden had such a secret treasure in the original work.

"You can tell what treasure caused it just by looking at the scars?"

Ye Fan was very surprised, "Even the Yin Yang Holy Maiden herself didn't know what this treasure was. Ziyue only recognized it after seeing it in an ancient book."

Luo Mo was also speechless. He asked you to investigate, and you directly killed the Holy Maiden...

"Forget it, it's dead. I'll let the Holy Lord handle this matter. Have you brought back all the children?"

"I thought about making the matter bigger at the time, and I've already contacted the various sects. They've all come to claim them. It's just that some of the children were found by the Yin Yang Sect from the people. What do you think should be done?"

"What else can be done? Since they are the good seedlings they worked so hard to find, they will stay in Yaoguang to cultivate in the future."

Do you even need to ask about this kind of good thing?

"Then please help arrange it. I can't take care of children."

Ye Fan said quickly.

"Do you even need to take care of them? I guess the elders are all snatching people after hearing the news. Let's go and take a look."

As Luo Mo expected, Ye Fan had just spread the news outside, letting the various sects take back the talented children they had lost, and the news quickly spread back to Yaoguang.

Some elders had already come to choose disciples after hearing the news. After all, they were all good seedlings searched by the Yin Yang Sect from the people, and they couldn't wait to take them all away.

Luo Mo came forward to allocate them to the elders who wanted good disciples, so as to avoid them from arguing, and the matter was resolved.

As for the Yin Yang Sect, they were unreasonable, stealing the talented children of the various sects, and now they have become rats crossing the street, hated by everyone.

It's just that the King's divine weapon, the gray crystal tower, was damaged, which is a pity. It's very troublesome to repair, and it also requires a lot of materials.

"You've learned the Source Book anyway, go to the Holy City to earn source and buy materials to repair the divine weapon yourself."

Luo Mo threw the gray crystal tower to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn't care, and even eagerly tried, "Okay, I want to try my Source Arts."

"Remember to change your appearance."

"Don't worry, I know."

As a disciple of the Light of the Big Dipper, running to other people's stone workshops every day to win sources and treasures, wasn't that deliberately looking for trouble?

Moreover, it would expose the secrets of the Source Book, and exposing the divine arts in the Source Book, wouldn't that mean he was related to Fang Han?

He couldn't坑 (kēng - trick/harm) his friends like that; Ye Fan understood this principle.

"How are things going with Zi Yue?" Luo Mo asked suddenly.

"How could anything be going on between me and her?" Ye Fan pretended not to understand.

Luo Mo smiled and said, "Being the son-in-law of the Ji family is actually pretty good."

"We'll talk about it later." Ye Fan was also a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

… …

Tai Xuan.

There are one hundred and eight inheritance peaks here. Even if some inheritances decline temporarily, other inheritances will rise, preventing Tai Xuan from falling into decline.

And the Tai Xuan Star Peak is the mountain peak that has produced the most Tai Xuan Sect Leaders. The current Tai Xuan Sect Leader is from the Star Peak and is also Hua Yunfei's grandfather.

At this moment, inside the Star Peak, the Tai Xuan Sect Leader looked at the young man below and said, "Holy Son of the Light of the Big Dipper, why have you come alone?"

"Jiang Li has come this time for my junior brother Ye Fan, and also to solve the problem of the secrets of the Clumsy Peak."

Under the gaze of the Tai Xuan Sect Leader and a group of peak masters, Luo Mo continued, "I have thought of two methods, I wonder if you seniors are willing to listen."

"Tell us."

"First, junior brother Ye Fan once obtained the inheritance of the 'Zhe' character secret among the Nine Secrets, and is willing to exchange it."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. A peak master said excitedly, "Could it be the sacred healing technique among the Nine Secrets?"

"Exactly."

Everyone immediately began to discuss, and even the master of a peak found it difficult to remain calm. Some people couldn't wait to agree on behalf of the Sect Leader.

However, Li Ruoyu, as the peak master of Clumsy Peak, was very calm. Although a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he heard the 'Zhe' character secret, he was no longer excited about it.

The Tai Xuan Sect Leader pressed down with both hands, and the hall immediately quieted down.

He said, "What is the second method?"

"For the second method, junior brother Ye Fan obtained the 'Dao De Jing' (Tao Te Ching) Wheel Sea Volume collected by the Demon Emperor when the Demon Emperor's Tomb was opened, and is willing to exchange it for the strongest scripture in the Wheel Sea Realm."

The Tai Xuan Sect Leader looked at Luo Mo and suddenly laughed, "You young man, you really don't suffer any losses."

But his expression suddenly changed, and the pressure of a Saint Lord made people's breathing stagnate, "But why should my Tai Xuan exchange with you? Are you trying to force a sale on us?"

Under this pressure, Luo Mo unhurriedly took out a silver book, "As Ye Fan's senior brother, I invited him to join the Light of the Big Dipper. I apologize to the seniors. This is a volume of scripture that I obtained by chance. It is not an exchange, but just as an apology. Please take a look."

The silver book flew steadily in front of the Tai Xuan Sect Leader. He was puzzled in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

An apology?

Naturally, the apology would not be more valuable than those two choices; that was a given.

But when he fixed his eyes on it, it turned out to be a scripture, a scripture from the Immortal Platform Realm, and it was marked as—

《Sun Ancient Scripture》?

The Sun Ancient Scripture, known as the strongest in the Immortal Platform Realm?

The Tai Xuan Sect Leader looked at the scripture and was momentarily lost in thought until someone next to him reminded him, and he regained his senses, inconspicuously putting the silver book into his arms.

This made the peak masters of the other peaks of Tai Xuan very surprised. What kind of scripture was that, that could make the Sect Leader lose his composure?

"Ye Fan was originally a disciple of my Tai Xuan, and my Tai Xuan has always been on good terms with the Light of the Big Dipper, as long as he does not spread the Nine Secrets—"

"Please rest assured, seniors, I can guarantee it for Ye Fan."

"Well, that's good. Of course, the restriction that the Nine Secrets of Clumsy Peak cannot be spread does not include you, but it is limited to you." The Tai Xuan Sect Leader added, and then, without waiting for the other peak masters to speak, he looked at Li Ruoyu, the peak master of Clumsy Peak, "Junior brother, what do you think? You can choose the 'Zhe' character secret or the Dao De Jing."

Li Ruoyu: ?

So the Nine Secrets were directly sold, right?

However, he didn't dislike the child Ye Fan. He didn't have any objections to him learning the Nine Secrets of Clumsy Peak, but he was a little surprised by the methods of this Holy Son of the Light of the Big Dipper. He first threw out two conditions to lure a group of peak masters, and then directly sent an apology to settle the Sect Leader. It was really—

Wealthy.

Were there so many scriptures and secret techniques?

"The Dao De Jing Wheel Sea Volume is said to be the strongest in the Wheel Sea Realm, but it is only a volume. The peaks of my Tai Xuan all have their own inherited scriptures, but they are not as good as the supreme healing technique among the Nine Secrets," Li Ruoyu said.

The other peak masters also nodded, their hearts drooling wildly.

"It's just…" Li Ruoyu changed the subject, "Even if you didn't offer these, we wouldn't make things difficult for Ye Fan. Do you have anything else?"

This old man understood people's hearts and asked Luo Mo's purpose.

"There is no other purpose. It's just that the situation in the Eastern Wilderness is currently chaotic, and the Light of the Big Dipper and Tai Xuan are neighbors, so we should be closer to each other."

The purpose naturally could not be stated clearly. He couldn't directly say that he wanted the luck of Tai Xuan, right?

Luo Mo came this time to see Hua Yunfei.

This controlled child, should be doing well recently, right? After all, the person who controlled him was dead, and Luo Mo had cleaned up everything. Now, the only Demonic Art practitioners left outside should be him and Jiang Yifei.

Tai Xuan, Star Peak.

Every night, the starlight here is like water, pouring down, because this mountain peak is gathering star power for the disciples to cultivate.

"Brother Jiang's understanding of the Dao makes Yunfei sincerely admire him. You are truly a good teacher and friend."

Hua Yunfei said to Luo Mo. At this moment, only the two of them were here, playing the zither, tasting tea, and discussing the Dao.

Recently, he had been playing the zither and cultivating himself in the Star Peak every day. It was said that he rarely cultivated or went out.

Last time, Luo Mo invited him to leave Tai Xuan, and this time, Luo Mo took the initiative to visit.

"Brother Yunfei, I have something to say. Would you like to listen?"

"Brother Jiang, please speak freely."

Hua Yunfei's temperament became more and more indifferent and detached, as if he did not eat human food.

"You seem to have given up on the path of the Dao."

Luo Mo said very affirmatively, which made Hua Yunfei's smile stop at his lips.

But Luo Mo's eyes were bright, and he continued, "The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you slack off, others of your generation will leave you far behind. How can there be no reason to advance? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will definitely help you solve them."

Hua Yunfei shook his head and said sadly, "Some things, Brother Jiang cannot help me with."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Mo pinched a hand seal. Under the induction of his Qi, he immediately extracted a black seed from his Wheel Sea and pinched it between his fingers.

"Can't help?"

He exerted force with his fingers, and the seed immediately turned into a stream of vitality, dissipating in the world.

Hua Yunfei was shocked, then stunned, and finally excitedly grabbed Luo Mo's hand, "Brother Jiang, you—"

"They also looked for me, but I destroyed them. I learned about these dirty methods from their memories."

"Thank you… Thank you, Brother Jiang… If it weren't for you, Yunfei would still be in hell…"

Hua Yunfei was so excited that he was incoherent.

He had been controlled since he was a child, and his treatment was relatively poor. He cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, and no matter how many physiques he devoured, he would still be used as nourishment for the former Holy Son of the Light of the Big Dipper in the future.

They were playing the game of big fish eat small fish here?

But now their leader had been destroyed by Luo Mo, and the rest had been sent to the Godly Scar Violet Gold Pagoda to be saved. The entire Ruthless Man lineage had disappeared.

Hua Yunfei had been controlled for so many years, and today he was finally freed. Hearing the good news, he was extremely excited and could not restrain his emotions. It took a while for him to calm down.

"Cultivate well in the future. I plan to eliminate those forbidden areas in the future. I hope you can help me then."

Hua Yunfei's eyes turned red. At this moment, he finally gathered his composure, listened to Luo Mo's words, and a surge of heroism rose from his heart, firmly saying, "Okay, I, Hua Yunfei, vow that I will definitely help Brother Jiang to eliminate the forbidden areas in the future!"

"Then I will look forward to that day. Farewell."

"Brother Jiang, please stay for a few more days. Yunfei still has a lot to say."

"Haha, I only came for you. Now that the matter is resolved, you can cultivate well and don't need to have any more concerns… I'm leaving!"

Luo Mo left very freely, but Hua Yunfei stood there for a long time.

The night breeze was gentle, and the starlight sprinkled down.

He let out a long howl, receiving the star power. A pillar of moonlight descended and enveloped him, accompanied by thousands of starlights.

Holy light surrounded him, his body and mind were flawless, and he was like a newborn.

"…Came for me?"

I, Hua Yunfei, will definitely not let down this kindness!
