Chapter 92

The morning mushroom knows not the end of the day, the cicada knows not the spring and autumn; the insect's life is but an autumn, and all living beings are struggling to cross over.

A history of civilization, how many joys and sorrows, how many epic splendors, are but five thousand years of time.

A Human Dao Venerable who traverses the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and sweeps across the universe can only live for ten thousand years or so.

One million years is too long; that is an epoch, an era. Who knows how many Great Emperors will be born.

This is simply nonsense; Ye Fan only took it as a joke to tell.

Lin Xian, however, was incredibly serious, taking out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, demanding on the spot that Ye Fan sign and press his thumbprint.

"Saint Son Ye Fan, has the bearing of an Immortal Emperor."

"I believe you will live for a million years!"

Lin Xian said with a solemn face: "Not to become an immortal, but just to struggle for a million years in the mortal world, waiting for your return."

"Come, sign this."

"Master Lin, stop messing around." Ye Fan held his forehead. Has he become addicted to signing things lately?

He had just wanted to refuse when he heard Lin Xian say leisurely: "If you sign it, I will teach you the Great Void Art."

"The Great Void Art!" The two from the Ji family had strange expressions. This is the highest top-secret inheritance of the Ji family; even elite collateral descendants don't have the chance to learn it. Now it's being passed on so easily?

Ye Fan was also both surprised and delighted, looking toward a certain place in the back mountain. He knew that there was more than one Saint hiding on Zhuofeng now.

"Pass it to him." The old Saint of the Ji family's calm voice sounded: "In the past, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body guarded the path for the Emperor Ancestor; now it can be considered repaying the karma. Besides, he also has the blood of the Void Great Emperor in his body."

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Ye Fan was immediately overjoyed, cupped his fists and bowed toward the void behind him, then hurriedly signed the contract, fearing that Lin Xian would go back on his word.

Things one million years later, let the one-million-year-old Ye Fan worry about them.

The matter of becoming an immortal is too ethereal.

Now Ye Fan longs for the Holy Body to reach Great Accomplishment, and even has a glimmer of ambition to become an Emperor, but as for immortality—he should just wash up and go to sleep.

Gazing at the Immortal Road, a desolate dream, white hair disheveled, the blue sea and blue sky wither; of the thirty Great Emperors through the ages, how many sages are now in the dust.

Who can live forever? All have become a handful of yellow earth.

Lin Xian put away the contract and then taught Ye Fan the Great Void Art. This divine art emphasizes the Space Dao, is incredibly profound, and is perfectly compatible with the "Xing" Secret.

If the "Xing" Secret is a sprint, then the Great Void Art is a flash, which can instantly widen the distance in space.

"Restrain the body, reverse the Dao, the void is eternal, the self remains unchanged..."

Ye Fan was thoughtful. After comprehending the Great Void Art, he taught some of the mysteries of the "Jie" Secret to Lin Xian.

Elder Li Ruoyu had warned him not to pass it on to outsiders, but Lin Xian had already comprehended the natural Dao and could be considered half a disciple of Zhuofeng, so it didn't count as passing it to an outsider.

Regarding this, Li Ruoyu also turned a blind eye. After all, for these past few hundred years, Zhuofeng had been neglected in the Taixuan Sect, gradually becoming a desolate mountain and wild ridge that no one cared about.

Before Ye Fan and Lin Xian arrived, Li Ruoyu was the only one on Zhuofeng passing down the orthodoxy, and he knew the cold and warmth himself.

What he wanted to protect was the Taixuan Sect and the founder's inheritance; as for the Taixuan Sect Master's warnings, listening to them was enough. Being perfunctory on the surface was enough for both to be at peace.

"Home flowers don't smell as good as wild flowers."

On the mountain peak, Li Ruoyu said thoughtfully. He had a premonition that perhaps these two disciples would be the ones to carry forward the natural Dao in the future.

During these days, other peaks had also sent many people wanting to inherit the Zhuofeng orthodoxy, but they hadn't even comprehended the fur of the natural Dao.

Zhuofeng never hides anything; the scriptures are carved between the mountain rocks, in every blade of grass and every tree. If you can comprehend it, you have the affinity; if you cannot understand it, you have no affinity.

Another half a month passed, and Lin Xian remained calm. However, Zhuofeng was rising, its status was improving, and it had taken in many outstanding disciples; the main peak was no longer desolate.

Many disciples from the main peaks came to befriend Lin Xian, Ye Fan, and the people of the Ji family, adding a bit of mortal atmosphere to Zhuofeng.

"The mortal world, that's it. How could I have forgotten that people are also a part of nature."

"How can I only focus on the nature of heaven and earth and forget about dealing with people."

Lin Xian sighed. The Bodhi Seed in his hand glowed. At this last moment, he comprehended the "Jie" Secret. His combat power was sublimated; perhaps he could rival the Saint Sons of the various great holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland.

This secret is incredibly critical and can greatly amplify combat power. By operating it slightly, one can increase combat power several times over, reaching up to ten times, helping one enter the Eight Forbidden realms.

Lin Xian invited Ji Haoyue, who was in the Four Extremities Secret Realm, to spar with this young God King, and achieved astonishing results.

Ji Haoyue could not help but whisper: "This kind of divine art is truly heaven-defying. If a Great Emperor could also stack ten times the combat power..."

"That is an impossible thing."

Lin Xian shook his head and said: "The 'Jie' Secret also has limitations. After entering the Eight Forbidden realms, the 'Jie' Secret is ineffective."

"Why is that?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled: "Does the Eight Forbidden realm have some limitations?"

"It's not that the Eight Forbidden realm has limitations; it's that people have limits." Lin Xian said solemnly: "Ten times the combat power is equal to the Eight Forbidden realm; the improvement of the two is the same, so it is impossible to stack combat power."

"Unless one steps into the God Forbidden realm again, breaks the limits of the human body, steps into the realm of gods, gets rid of the old shackles, and touches the 'Jie' Secret with a brand-new posture, only then can one trigger ten times the combat power."

"God Forbidden..." Ji Haoyue frowned, asking in confusion: "What kind of realm is that?"

"Ziyue, let your brother read more books." Ye Fan shook his head and sighed: "If he continues to be this illiterate, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a sister-in-law."

Ji Haoyue's face turned black. He had put all his thoughts into cultivation; where would he have the mood to read miscellaneous books?

"The God Forbidden realm, that is the true bearing of a Great Emperor."

The old Saint of the Ji family appeared, no one knew when. His eyes were deep, and he sighed: "The God Forbidden posture is something you can encounter but not seek; even figures at the Emperor Child level cannot trigger it at all times."

"But when one can permanently reside in the God Forbidden realm, it is mostly at the Great Emperor realm. The taboo Imperial Arts created by the Great Emperor are more suitable for oneself than the 'Jie' Secret, and even more powerful."

"For a Great Emperor, the 'Jie' Secret is tasteless to eat but a pity to discard."

But even so, the 'Jie' Secret can be called heaven-defying; it can be called the head of the Nine Secrets.

Below the Emperor's bearing, once it comes out, it is invincible; it is a situation of winning steadily.

Lin Xian is willing to call it: The "Win" Secret!

"Coming early is not as good as coming at the right time." Lin Xian said with a realization: "Saint, is there unusual movement over at the Star Peak?"

"The fish has arrived; it is time to scatter the bait."

The old Saint of the Ji family smiled slightly and said: "Prepare, prepare. Haoyue, bring out the temperament of a peerless God King. Ye Fan, you also need to have a bit of the bearing of a Holy Body."

Ji Haoyue and Ye Fan's faces turned black. It turns out they were being used as bait.

"Why doesn't he use it?" Ji Haoyue asked, pointing at Lin Xian.

"I am a Mortal Body." Lin Xian said proudly. I am a Mortal Body and I am proud; I am a Mortal Body and I am confident.

The Ruthless lineage devours all bodies and eats all kings, but they don't eat Mortal Bodies because they are useless. This is the biggest difference between the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Dark Venerables—they don't eat mortals.

The former is a demonic Great Emperor who harms others to benefit herself and has a heartless Dao heart; the latter are just gluttons who lower their bottom line, abandon themselves, and constantly degenerate.

Lin Xian led the way, like a leisurely fisherman, taking two small fish to catch a shark. However, above the water surface, two aircraft carriers were waiting.

As soon as the shark comes out of the door, they will sacrifice their Imperial Weapons and cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!
