Chapter 196: The Winds and Clouds of the World Emerge from Our Generation
Before the words had even faded, and while Ye Fan was still preparing to say a few more, the middle-aged Daoist had already vanished.
And the next moment, seeing Ye Fan standing there perfectly intact, many figures were immediately shocked.
A sleek, glossy black dog that had been howling on the sidelines just a moment before circled the area a few times, suddenly leaped up to bite Ye Fan on the waist, and ran off with the storage bag in its mouth.
Ye Fan was furious: "You dead dog, can you be serious for once? Why are you stealing my things?"
The dog stood up on its hind legs and bolted, muttering justifications as it ran.
"Damn it, I, Black Emperor, was worried about you just now, but it turns out you were saved by an Ancient Saint who resolved this great disaster; shouldn't you compensate me for the loss of my heartache just now?"
Ye Fan had dealt with this dead dog for too long; his mind turned, and he knew exactly what the dead dog was plotting.
"I don't know that Ancient Saint, and before he left, he didn't leave me any secret arts or treasures; he only acted because he and I had a common enemy, and I barely even exchanged a few words with him."
Black Emperor ignored him completely, head down, scurrying wildly.
"You brat have a hundred tricks up your sleeve; hurry, take out what that Daoist gave you!"
"How many times do I have to tell you, there is nothing!"
Ye Fan was truly speechless to the extreme.
The man and the dog argued as they fled into the distance, while the many powerful figures who had previously been extremely focused on Ye Fan did not make a move at this time.
Ye Fan possessed too many secrets; whether it was the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron or the suspected top-tier recovery secret art, both had made countless people curious and eager to plunder them in the past, but the terrifying power of the middle-aged Daoist who had suddenly appeared made the group uneasy, and they dared not make any excessive moves.
Therefore, they simply let Ye Fan walk away into the distance.
But the events that occurred this day shook the world.
Since the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, which had been silent for tens of thousands of years or even longer, had truly broken the curse; in the future, it was possible for it to grow all the way to Great Completion and become an invincible existence capable of challenging a Great Emperor.
This caused countless people to ponder deeply; the scene of the Saint Body breaking through and undergoing the tribulation shocked an unknown number of people, was spread throughout Beidou, and was remembered by countless others.
At the same time, another, most important matter also shook the world.
The Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid proved its capability.
Merely the second-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid allowed Ye Fan, a latecomer in the Cultivation World, to leap into becoming one of the top figures among the younger generation of the Cultivation World.
This immediately shook the entire world, causing countless people to cast their gaze toward him.
An unknown number of old monsters who had existed for many years were moved by this development and emerged from seclusion, preparing to continue their former glory.
Because it was rumored that the fifth-turn bloodline evolution fluid had already appeared, which was a supreme divine object useful even to Ancient Saint Sages.
The heavens and the earth were undergoing violent tremors; huge changes were happening and shifting.
At the same time, those with keen senses recalled the most terrifying scene of Severing Dao that had appeared on the Beidou Gu Xing previously—there were Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, the ten suns shining together, the Phoenix Nirvana, and even more, the Qilin imprint between heaven and earth...
All sorts of the most peculiar phenomena indicated that there was a figure between heaven and earth who was unimaginably powerful, comparable to an Ancient Great Emperor, who had taken a firm and powerful step in the Zhan Dao Realm.
This indicated many issues.
Severing Dao had become a huge threshold many years ago, and many people had difficulty achieving much in this aspect; yet now, someone had suddenly achieved such a special accomplishment, and many were moved by it.
An unknown number of people noticed the subtle differences within this.
"The God King is gathering the heroes of the world, wanting many figures to consume the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid together; I imagine he must have perceived some of the problems."
"More than just some problems; I feel that the person who severed the Dao very likely broke through to that realm by relying on the God King's Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid."
Someone speculated, and believed that what they had guessed was very likely the truth.
After all, Severing Dao Kings had not been seen for many years and could be considered the foundation of aristocratic families and major sects; Beidou had not seen a true Severing Dao King for many years, and now that the God King had appeared, such a fierce figure appearing as well was very likely related to the God King.
And it was at such a moment that top powerful figures saw Kongque Wang, who had dominated the world for over a thousand years, succeed in Severing Dao within the nameless mountain range, his radiance shocking tens of thousands of miles.
The vigorous blood energy and the grand lightning tribulation shocked an unknown number of people, making them feel terrified.
Powerful figures specifically observed that area and then detected the same aura and charm as the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid in Shencheng.
Kongque Wang's blood energy was vigorous and vast, his strength was terrifying to the extreme, and he became a true king among the Demon Race.
He wanted to find the Yaochi Sacred Land and directly kill the contemporary Saint Ancestor of the Yaochi Sacred Land, but he ended up provoking an old fossil-level figure who had lived for over three thousand years; yet that old fossil-level figure was blasted apart by him in a few moves, shaking the world.
Zhang Xuan did not concern himself with the many disturbances of the outside world; at this very moment, he was staying near the Dragon Transformation Pool, and Gai Jiuyou was also here.
After many days of research, Gai Jiuyou had confirmed that he could refine the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, and that the sixth, seventh, and eighth turns would not be much of a problem.
He felt that part would not be too difficult.
These were not doing anything else, but were attempting to refine the sixth-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid.
At the same time, regarding the matter Zhang Xuan and Jiang Taixu and others had discussed, Gai Jiuyou also nodded in agreement to go fishing.
Fishing to lure out the group among the Ancient Myriad Tribes that held hostility toward the Human Race—on this point, Gai Jiuyou also agreed.
"However, regarding the specific fishing, we still need to discuss it; there are many details that need to be perfected."
"The era is already different; it is no longer the Taigu years, but many people's thinking and patterns still remain in the Taigu; over these years, I have also killed quite a few Ancient Creatures, and many Ancient Creatures' thoughts and states are still preserved from back then."
"They fear power but do not cherish virtue; only by truly hurting them can they be made to change; ordinary small skirmishes, just killing a few Saints or Saint Kings is not enough; it is best to kill one or two Great Saints."
Gai Jiuyou's words were not loud, but the killing intent revealed within them was shocking.
Gai Jiuyou even said quite naturally to the old Daoist beside him: "It is a pity that the materials are lacking; otherwise, if we refined the nine-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, with your accumulation over these years, Daoist friend, stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm would also be very easy, and by then, you alone could suppress the Ancient Race."
That old Daoist who helped Ye Fan resolve the terrible disaster smiled and shook his head: "Being able to live for another thousand years and return to the peak state of blood energy is already the greatest help to me; I don't even need the help of external forces; after polishing for another period of time, I am confident I can step into a higher realm."
When Zhang Xuan heard this conversation, his heart stirred.
In the original work, he felt that the Cai Jia Da Sheng, who sat in meditation on a nameless small mountain and lived for over eight thousand years, was terrifyingly strong.
In the most difficult and arduous era of heaven and earth, he silently broke through to the Great Saint Realm and lived for eight thousand years; he could basically be said to be standing at the very peak of the Great Saint Realm.
Now that his lifespan had been further extended and his blood energy had returned to a youthful state, he could basically move forward steadily on the existing foundation.
And this Great Saint did not know that the situation of heaven and earth would change in the future; in such an environment, he still said that if given more time and years, he could break through to a higher realm; one can imagine how powerful this figure was.
"As for the previous period of time, I displayed a posture akin to attaining the Dao; such a situation is too terrifying, and many figures will certainly be suspicious, and the Ancient Race is the same."
"It is best to actively spread the word that at that time I was about to sit in meditation, and therefore I actively merged with the Dao of heaven and earth; next, I will actively disguise my Transforming into the Dao."
Gai Jiuyou was very calm; while refining the sixth-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, he was still perfecting the plan discussed by Zhang Xuan, Jiang Taixu, and others.
"As for the lower-tier Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, let's set aside ten portions, using the Four-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid as the standard; this stage of bloodline evolution fluid has an extremely potent effect even for the Immortal Platform Realm."
"For those who are not Emperor Sons or Saint Bodies, relying on the Four-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid, it is possible to become a Severing Dao King; this is enough to allow a batch of the top-tier figures of this era to grow."
Gai Jiuyou's words were calm and indifferent, yet they carried immense confidence; the few people present nodded upon hearing this.
Zhang Xuan had no objections to this either, taking out ten portions; the remaining large portion was more than enough for those present, and even more than sufficient for many others to use.
From the void of the Universe, Qingdi searched for and found many of the most top-tier materials, especially the accumulations from the Eternal Star Domain during its most glorious period one hundred thousand years ago.
Seven Great Saints appeared in succession, and within the bodies of these seven Great Saints was the Eight-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid of that time; after experiencing long years and time, only the efficacy of the Four-Turn remained.
But this portion of liquid was also very vast; after all, it was the accumulation of the most glorious civilization of an era, and it would be basically impossible for an individual to collect so much.
"As for the wider and more vast world, there are many geniuses we cannot look after, but we can also exchange the formula for the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid with them in the later stages, letting the other party give us a batch of Divine Substance; I imagine many of the top-tier Holy Lands and families must have accumulated very abundant treasures over these years."
"And after the effects of the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid are demonstrated in the early stages, they will also be very willing to exchange a portion of Divine Substance for this most special pill formula in the future."
This suggestion was put forward by Zhang Xuan; such words, once spoken, surprised the few people present, as the formula for the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid was an supreme treasure that would become an eternal treasure within Holy Lands and Desolate Ancient Families at any time, and they would never leak even a tiny bit.
This was the best way and method to create a gap between true great families and sects and ordinary figures.
If one could truly collect enough Divine Substance, it could basically guarantee that powerful figures above the Immortal Platform Realm would appear in the family or sect generation after generation.
Moreover, the prodigies of each generation could be very powerful; if one could collect more than four types of Divine Substance, a Severing Dao King could appear in every generation, which would truly be the most top-tier treasure in the world.
Jiang Yifei could not help but look at Zhang Xuan, feeling that Zhang Xuan was overly magnanimous.
When only a portion of the Ji Family's Void Technique was leaked, Ye Fan was hunted down everywhere by the Ji Family and almost died; now, Zhang Xuan was passing on such a top-tier refining secret technique and formula that was not inferior to an ancient scripture, which was truly being magnanimous to an excessive degree.
Jiang Taixu and Gai Jiuyou were both slightly surprised, and that Cai Jia Da Sheng who had lived for eight thousand years was also somewhat astonished.
Zhang Xuan was very calm.
"The secret formula has already served its greatest purpose for us; as for Divine Substance, we have collected more now, so leaking the formula will not have a great impact on us, and it can also be used to exchange for the most top-tier Divine Substance from various families, which is of great benefit to us."
"As for the leaked formula possibly allowing other figures to strengthen on a large scale, it will also give those top-tier prodigies who are active externally and cannot be influenced by us a chance to have more changes to deal with the terrifying turmoil in the future."
Zhang Xuan had seen the terrifying power of Earth operating at full capacity in the Three-Body World, and in many ways, he also partially approved of actively publishing some extremely useful public technologies rather than sticking to old ways.
"Daoist friend's breadth of mind and bearing are truly of the highest order."
Gai Jiuyou could not help but offer praise.
"Since the Daoist friend has no objections to this, then of course I will have no objections."
Jiang Taixu pondered for a moment and said: "I can come forward to trade with the Jiang Family; the Jiang Family has also always wanted this formula, and I imagine the Jiang Family will also be willing to take out a large batch of Divine Substance and secret techniques for the exchange."
From this, one could see the character of the God King; the God King had long ago obtained the complete refining method, including the formula for the bloodline evolution fluid and the techniques, but the Jiang Family had never known.
The God King's strength and realm were far superior to Zhang Xuan's before, and even now he was much stronger than Zhang Xuan, but the God King acted in such an open and honest manner, with a clear conscience; he could be called a model in this regard.
Jizi pondered for a moment and also nodded, saying: "I will also go and communicate with the people in my family, letting them use more Divine Substance to exchange for it; they will also be willing."
Jizi himself had used the Zuijiang Xuemai Jinghuaye and had now reached the peak of the Immortal Second Realm, but the threshold of Severing Dao could not be forcibly crossed by relying on medicine.
For a figure who aspired to go further on the Emperor's path in the future, he wanted to cross this barrier on his own.
And the Ji Family had also previously obtained portions of the Three-Turn and Four-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid; Zhang Xuan did not really concern himself with how they were specifically consumed.
But what Zhang Xuan did know was that the Ji Family also had a very deep understanding of the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid and would be willing to pay a large price.
"These can be discussed later; they are not very urgent. The most critical thing now is actually something else: the top-tier batch of figures among the younger generation is currently influenced by us and will soon be able to rush into the Immortal Platform Realm, but they can hardly find any opponents among their peers, which is also very unfavorable for their growth."
