Chapter 21

"I'm leaving!"

Fang Yu's mind suddenly stirred, and the Myriad Realms King Map within his consciousness emanated a mysterious aura, carrying him off to another world.

"Hm? The Myriad Realms King Map actually has the ability to store items? And… I seem to be on Earth right now?"

When Fang Yu appeared once more, he saw that he had arrived on Earth. His dharma artifact flying sword was within the Myriad Realms King Map, and it seemed that as long as he willed it, he could take it out at any moment.

All around him were tall buildings, vehicles coming and going, and a few young men and women pointing at him and whispering among themselves.

He saw that he was still dressed as a member of the Fang clan, his hair long, looking like an ancient noble young master—especially with his powerfully developed physique, his muscles full and firm, which drew a great deal of attention in this modern society.

"The people of antiquity, in both spring and autumn, all lived past a hundred years, yet their movements showed no decline."

Just then, Fang Yu heard a voice coming from not far away. His gaze turned over, and he saw a young man reading a book, the *Huangdi Neijing*.

And at that very moment, that young man also saw Fang Yu, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"This… Daoist priest, would you care to come over for a chat?"

The young man looked at Fang Yu, unsure how to address him, and in the end used the term "Daoist priest."

"Sure."

Fang Yu looked at the young man and roughly guessed his identity. With a single step forward, he arrived instantly before the man.

"This speed…"

The young man's expression changed; he seemed not to have expected Fang Yu's speed to be so fast, arriving in an instant—that was the equivalent of over twenty meters in one second. Where in the world could there be a person that fast?

He immediately knew that this Daoist-priest-looking figure before him was certainly no mortal.

"This one is called Ye Fan, at your service, Daoist priest."

The young man gave his name.

"My name is Fang Yu. You needn't address me as Daoist priest."

Hearing the young man give his name, Fang Yu felt the Myriad Realms King Map was truly marvelous—it had actually brought him directly before the protagonist of the Shrouding Heaven Realm.

Shrouding the Heavens, Ye Fan, Emperor Ye.

This was good.

"Fang Yu? May I call you Brother Fang Yu?"

Seeing that Fang Yu had also given his name, Ye Fan thought for a moment, then spoke again.

"That's no problem."

Fang Yu nodded.

At this moment he was at the 5th Stage of Physical Body, while Ye Fan's cultivation base was roughly at the 1st Stage of Physical Body. In the Cultivation World, realm came first, so Ye Fan addressing him as "Brother Fang Yu" was not at all wrong.

As for the future, he could use the Myriad Realms King Map to come to this very moment, so there was no need to concern himself with future matters.

"Brother Fang's speed is so fast—could you be the heir of some hidden clan?"

Ye Fan invited Fang Yu to sit down, brewed a cup of light tea, and asked curiously.

Before him was a book—precisely the *Huangdi Neijing*.

Regarding the ancient era, Ye Fan was very interested, but what he found regrettable was that there were no detailed and accurate written records from antiquity. For people of today, it was an ancient history shrouded in mist, endlessly thought-provoking.

In the ancient times, ordinary people could all live past a hundred years, yet showed no signs of aging in their movements—what kind of past was that?

"Our Fang clan is indeed a great clan."

Fang Yu took a sip of his tea and said casually.

The Great Li Dynasty, the Fang clan of Long Yuan Province—absolutely counted as a great clan. After all, the Fang clan's patriarch, by order of the Great Li Dynasty's Emperor, served as Viceroy of an entire province, wielding great power. Such a background, placed in the modern era, would also be a great family.

He casually flipped open the *Huangdi Neijing* before him and saw a few lines written in it:

"Lifting and guiding heaven and earth, grasping yin and yang, muscles as one, able to live as long as heaven and earth—this is the way of life."

This was a chapter from the ancient Su Wen, speaking of how in the ancient era one could refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, and thereby achieve immortality, living for a very long time.

"Oh? Brother Fang truly comes from an ancient clan?"

This time it was Ye Fan's turn to be surprised—after all, he had only asked casually.

What real great clans were there in modern society? He hadn't expected this Brother Fang to actually admit it.
