Chapter 676: Ye Fan is Going to be a Matrilocal Son-in-Law!

Covering the Sky Plane, Eastern Wasteland Mortal Realm.

In a desolate mountain wilderness, the sky was dim, and looking into the distance, it was a scene of utter loneliness.

"Damn, how did I, a dignified Heavenly Emperor, become a joke? This is so disrespectful."

Ye Fan lay on a patch of grass, talking to himself.

In the Chat Group, it seemed everyone was teasing him, which made him very depressed.

It seemed everyone thought he was just spamming the group and not cultivating seriously at all.

It was just that they didn't know his strength had long since broken through to the realm of the Immortal Platform Level 3 Zhan Dao King during this time, which was an explosive existence even when looking at the entire younger generation; it was just that he was too low-key and hadn't appeared before the many Sacred Lands and Sects?

The Immortal Platform level is not like the previous Wheel and Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, or Dragon Transformation, which can be piled up as long as there are sufficient resources.

The most important thing for the Immortal Platform is enlightenment—the comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, controlling the heavens and earth, and constantly strengthening oneself, intending for oneself to transcend the ten thousand Daos, and finally achieving the supreme position of Great Emperor.

And at this level, it takes ordinary people decades, or even a hundred or a thousand years, to reach each stage of cultivation.

Yet, he had achieved in just a few short years what those people hadn't managed in hundreds of years.

Moreover, an Immortal Platform Level 3 Zhan Dao King could serve as the master of a sect throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland or even the Central Plains?

Naturally, reaching this level, apart from eating a little bit of the supreme fierce beast roasted meat essence shared by Xiao Shi from Honghuang, was all due to his own efforts.

Do not underestimate that little bit of flesh and blood essence shared by Xiao Shi; if it were other cultivators, they might have broken through even more after eating it, and becoming a Quasi-Emperor directly wouldn't have been a problem.

Ye Fan has the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body; this constitution is a gold-swallowing monster that absorbs countless resources to strengthen the origin of the Sacred Body, and upon reaching Great Completion, it possesses combat power that can rival or even challenge a Great Emperor.

Aside from improving his realm, that bit of fierce beast flesh and blood essence was basically all absorbed by the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and it hadn't even been fully absorbed yet.

Although it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this roasted meat essence from Honghuang could make people ascend on the spot, most group members wouldn't dare to absorb it like Ye Fan.

For instance, Huang Rong, Yan Fei, Li Chungang, and the Bad Commander in the martial arts planes only dared to eat a tiny, tiny bit, because if they ate too much, they might not be able to digest it, causing bloating, and they could dangerously supplement themselves to death.

There is no need to mention Tony from the technology plane; although this stuff might allow one to become an immortal if eaten, his mortal flesh would have no such fortune to enjoy it.

Just as Ye Fan was daydreaming about the future, a familiar dog bark reached his ears.

"You brat, have you gone mad? I admit you do have a bit of talent, but not much, and you even compare yourself to a Heavenly Emperor—pfft."

A large black dog with a missing tail, sturdier than a calf, appeared before Ye Fan, its massive dog head covering Ye Fan's face as he lay on the grass like a dark cloud.

Ye Fan was startled and instinctively kicked the large black dog away.

"Awoo-ooo!"

A miserable dog bark pierced the sky, sounding heart-wrenching.

Ye Fan's realm is Immortal Platform Level 3, but the physical strength and power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body are already enough to rival a Half-Saint or even a Saint!

Because he hadn't fought, Ye Fan didn't even know to what extent he had become strong.

He felt that below the Quasi-Emperor level, he could probably trade a few blows, or perhaps be evenly matched.

The large black dog was caught off guard and, having taken Ye Fan's power, was naturally in excruciating pain.

Fortunately, the large black dog's body is the Demon Emperor Body, tempered by a Great Emperor; in terms of hardness, it is comparable to the supreme magic treasures of a great sect.

"Doggy, are you alright?"

Ye Fan hurriedly went over to ask with concern. Seeing the Black Emperor foaming at the mouth from the kick, he wondered if it was going to "receive its lunchbox" early—what was he to do?

The Black Emperor breathed rapidly, its dog eyes rolling back, its two hind legs twitching constantly, and it gritted its teeth, saying:

"Ye Hei, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Jealous that I am more handsome than you, so you're trying to murder me?"

"..." Ye Fan.

Was it worth it for him to compare handsomeness with a dog?

"Dead dog, you appeared suddenly and scared me," Ye Fan retorted.

"No, I'm done for. That kick of yours shattered my viscera and all my bones, and my origin has cracked too. If there's no Undying Medicine, I'm afraid I'll die young."

The Black Emperor said deliberately, lying on the ground as if it would turn into a dead dog at any moment.

The Black Emperor naturally knew about Ye Fan having the Undying Medicine.

By logic, Undying Medicine only grows in the Life Forbidden Zone, and the known Undying Medicine is only kept by those few extremely ancient great sects. Although it didn't know where Ye Fan got it, it had long wanted to find an excuse to get its paws on Ye Hei's Undying Medicine.

Regarding this, Ye Fan was noncommittal. Back when the God King Jiang Taixu had little lifespan left and only the Undying Medicine could extend his life, the Black Emperor and the unscrupulous Taoist Duan De were both present when he took it out.

Ever since that time, the Black Emperor had been coveting the Undying Medicine.

And this Undying Medicine was also obtained from a Blind Box draw in the Chat Group.

Ye Fan sneered, his gaze dim, and said:

"Heitailang, do you think I don't know what's in your stomach? You want the Undying Medicine? No way.

If you really die, I promise to give you a grand funeral and burn a few bones for you every year as an offering.

But for now, let's make the best use of everything. Since you're going to die anyway, why not stew you? It'll be just right to nourish Senior Jiang."

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor, who originally thought Ye Fan was heartless but felt he had a conscience after hearing about the funeral, was so angry that its lungs were about to explode when it heard the end.

This brat really had a conscience, but not much; he actually wanted to eat dog meat—unbearable.

The Black Emperor immediately stood up and opened its mouth to bite Ye Fan's butt.

Ye Fan stepped on the Golden Light of Earthly Movement, the Black Emperor trod on the Moving Word Secret, and the man and dog began to chase each other just like that.

Truly, he flees, it chases, and it cannot escape even with wings!

In the distance, the unscrupulous Taoist Duan De saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "What a scene of affection between man and dog that never ends, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."

A long time later, the Black Emperor and Ye Fan stopped, both man and dog panting heavily.

Several rows of tooth marks appeared on Ye Fan's backside; they were left by the Black Emperor's dog mouth.

With Ye Fan's cultivation, dodging it would naturally have been no problem; he had let the Black Emperor bite him on purpose. After all, he had kicked the Black Emperor first, and if it had been an ordinary dog, it might have really been kicked to death, even if it was an unintentional mistake.

This could be considered settling the Karma with the Black Emperor; otherwise, being constantly coveted by the Black Emperor, who knows what absurd things might happen in the future.

The Black Emperor had lived for who knows how many years; it had nine thousand tricks if not ten thousand. Of course, it knew Ye Fan had done it on purpose, but it didn't say anything, just keeping this sentiment in its heart—though, of course, it would still scheme against him when it could.

"It's truly strange. In today's cultivation environment where the heavens are almost cut off, you, a Sacred Body, actually cultivated to the Immortal Platform Level 3 realm, and as a cursed Sacred Body, you shouldn't even be able to cultivate to Dragon Transformation. You brat are truly strange," the Black Emperor complained.

Ye Fan wore a look of smugness and said:

"What do you call this? This is called the Heavenly Mandate, the Son of the Epoch! Even Heaven cannot bind me."

"Heh, don't get cocky. This Emperor has seen plenty of monsters like you, but those who can make it to the end can be counted on one hand," said Black Emperor.

"Seeing you two make up, this Daoist is very gratified."

The unscrupulous Taoist Duan De walked over, wearing a gaudy gold Taoist robe, holding a ten-thousand-year-old agarwood horsetail whisk, and wearing purple-gold flying cloud boots.

This getup would make anyone want to rob him no matter where he went.

"??" Ye Fan, Black Emperor.

For some reason, while Duan De's words sounded fine, something felt off.

"Daoist, why have you come?" asked Ye Fan.

Duan De wore a smile and replied: "This poor Daoist thought it over and decided to lend young friend Ye a helping hand."

As it turned out, not long ago, Ye Fan had sought out Duan De, wanting his help to protect the Tao for Jiang Taixu.

After Jiang Taixu emerged from Purple Mountain, although he had consumed the flesh and blood of the Crocodile Ancestor to restore his vitality and spirit, he had been trapped in Purple Mountain for six thousand years, and his lifespan was already running low.

Lifespan cannot be restored just by eating the meat of the Crocodile Ancestor or heavenly treasures.

Lifespan is life itself; this thing is miraculous and profound, and once it is gone, it is gone.

Aside from the Undying Medicine that can extend it or substances of immortality, there is no other way.

Ye Fan had wanted to give the Undying Medicine to Jiang Taixu to consume, but Jiang Taixu refused, wanting instead to break through and then rebuild, to find life in death, and to break through his current realm to improve his cultivation.

But such an act is a life-or-death gamble, and in the process of breaking through, Jiang Taixu's old rivals would also appear to interfere and wipe him out.

No one wanted to see the God King who once dominated the Eastern Wasteland return; a Great Saint God King Body is absolutely a great enemy to the Ancient Myriad Clans.

Although in this life Jiang Taixu did not help him continue the heaven-defying path of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body which cannot be cultivated, Ye Fan was a person who valued relationships and righteousness; just because these things did not happen does not mean they do not exist.

To repay this kindness of recognition, he had to act as a protector before Jiang Taixu broke through.

However, the strength of one person was not enough, and Duan De was a good candidate, but Duan De had not agreed immediately at the time, and he did not want to force him.

Now that Duan De had appeared, he must have made up his mind.

"Daoist, have you thought it through? Senior Jiang dominated the Eastern Wasteland back in the day, and many of his rivals are still alive. Moreover, after six thousand years, most of them are at the level of old monsters, at the very least Half-Saints, or Saints, or even Saint Kings," said Ye Fan.

Because the trajectory of fate had changed, everything was full of uncertainty.

Just like how in the original trajectory, Jiang Taixu succeeded in breaking through and rebuilding, becoming a Saint King, a realm at the level of an absolute God King.

But this time, Jiang Taixu was not breaking through to the Saint King level, but to the Great Saint level.

This is the strongest existence below the Quasi-Emperor!

Looking at the world, with the Quasi-Emperors of the Myriad Clans not appearing, the Great Saint is the strongest.

And before the Golden Age begins and the path to immortality appears, the old monsters at the Quasi-Emperor level are basically sleeping in their coffins and will not interfere with the basic order of the world.

"It is a pity that this Emperor is not at his peak, otherwise, mere small cultivators of the Immortal Platform would be slapped to death with one paw."

Black Emperor raised his dog head high, looking as if he looked down on everyone.

"Dog, keep bragging; you have everything in your dreams," Ye Fan mocked.

Black Emperor stood up in a human-like manner and said seriously:

"Ye Hei, don't disbelieve me. In my dreams, I once dreamed of a perfect, brilliant world where Immortals were everywhere, and there, this Emperor took Immortals as human pets."

"?"

Ye Fan looked at Black Emperor strangely; could it be that this Black Emperor was also constantly reincarnating and had begun to awaken memories from before the Chaotic Ancient era?

"Immortals everywhere; that would truly be a wonderful era," said Duan De, a trace of longing flashing in his eyes.

"Not necessarily. Prosperity leads to decline; don't think of it so beautifully. Look at the world now; isn't it a microcosm of the past or the future? Where there is light, there is Darkness," said Ye Fan.

"Hehe, this Daoist was blinded."

Duan De put away his serious expression and then revealed a lecherous smile, which finally fit his temperament.

"But just with the two of us and one dog, we cannot deal with so many peerless old monsters," Black Emperor stated a cruel reality.

There were at least dozens of old monsters who wanted to kill Jiang Taixu, all of them peerless experts, and that was not counting those who were sleeping.

Think about how Jiang Taixu fought across the Eastern Wasteland back then; he had at least eight hundred enemies, if not a thousand.

Just like Ye Fan in the original trajectory, his path to becoming an Emperor was almost an enemy of the whole world; he fought wherever he went, and if he couldn't win, he would flee, then continue fighting when he was stronger, and then continue fleeing.

"Indeed."

Ye Fan frowned; if it really came to it, he would go to the Chat Group to call for help.

Duan De suddenly said: "Ye Hei, this poor Daoist remembers that your relationship with the Demon Race is quite good; why not invite some people from the Demon Race?"

"The Demon Race?" A look of doubt appeared on Black Emperor's dog face.

Back then, Ye Fan and Duan De first met at the tomb of the Demon Emperor, which formed a bond.

Duan De knew that there were some mysterious experts around Ye Fan.

At that time, Black Emperor was still sleeping in Purple Mountain and had not yet emerged.

"Sigh, Daoist, my relationship with the Demon Race is not what you imagine. The Demon Race looks at the face of the person behind me; what face do I have?"

Back at the tomb of the Demon Emperor, the Eternal Green Emperor suddenly appeared and even asked Xuan Ge for the method of becoming an Immortal.

At that time, Xuan Ge taught Qingdi the peerless technique God Elephant Prison Suppressing, which was a divine skill that even he envied.

Out of respect for Xuan Ge, Qingdi did indeed let the Demon Race take care of him, and Qingdi even shared some of the Demon Emperor's heart origin with him.

Unfortunately, during this period, he had not had much contact with the Demon Race.

Furthermore, he did not want to trouble the Demon Race to offend so many Eastern Wasteland forces for his sake, or even suffer losses in troops and generals.

Duan De smiled mysteriously and said: "Ye Hei, do not belittle yourself. You have already broken through to a realm that many people cannot reach in a lifetime before you have even reached the age of thirty.

A Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that is a Zhan Dao King—if this were to spread, who knows how many forces would fight over you?

That Saintess of the Demon Race, Yan Ruyu, is the recognized number one beauty in the world, given your talent. If you, little brother Ye, were to go to the Demon Race to be a son-in-law, hehe, the Demon Race would surely support you with all their might!"

Duan De's smile was somewhat lecherous, looking very indecent.

"Also, that little princess of the Desolate Ancient Family, the Ji Family, seems to have a connection with you as well."

Ye Fan's face darkened, and he had an urge to punch someone, saying irritably:

"Superficial, too superficial. To have me, Ye Fan, become a live-in son-in-law, that is Absolute impossible."

"Ahem, this poor Taoist is merely suggesting. Besides, this isn't anything shameful.

It's not as if Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies in past generations haven't been live-in sons-in-law; this Taoist master remembers that once, a Great Accomplishment Saint Body entered the Yaochi Sacred Land, and you must know that the Yaochi Sacred Land is entirely composed of female disciples," Duan De said.

"Woof, you dog Taoist!"

Black Emperor was enraged; what this unscrupulous Taoist was talking about was the story of the Western Queen Mother and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, and those were his master's mom and dad.
