Shrouding the Heavens Chapter 128 Empty Void Ancient Scripture

Chapter 128 Empty Void Ancient Scripture

Ji Ziyue glared at Ye Fan, angrily saying, “You want treasures, but I have none. As for the ancient scripture, there’s even less chance I have it. All I have is my Immortal body. See if you can handle it!”

“You really are a hoodlum.” Ye Fan immediately laughed, saying, “Like you said, if you don’t hand it over, I have all kinds of methods to use against you.”

Ji Ziyue bit her red lips, twisting her head and looking up at the skies in the clouds. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end stopped.

Ye Fan didn’t immediately press her since he still had time. The thing he needed to do now was to refine the Xuanhuan essence. His cauldron was shattered and clinging to his patinated copper, causing him some concern.

The greened copper was motionless within the spring mouth of his Sea. Around it was the Xuanhuan essence, and the broken pieces of the cauldron that were mixing with it. 

Ji Ziyue was speaking the truth. The small cauldron shattering was not at all a bad thing. It was actually an opportunity.

“Now that it’s broken I will forge it anew!” Ye Fan was completely focused on the mouth of his spring. He carefully used his divine energy to squeeze the broken pieces. 

He didn’t immediately start refining it, instead crushing it even more thoroughly in order for it to merge perfectly with Xuanhuan essence.

His broken cauldron was crushed to its most fundamental state. His divine energy circulated and his mind was completely focused as he controlled everything. 

The Xuanhuan essence was like the sun and moon, very dazzling. It continuously merged with the broken cauldron, and under Ye Fan’s control, the two of them became one entity, gradually becoming a glowing light.

Revolving around the copper shard, the misty air was extremely mysterious. In the end, the light finally receded, becoming plan and lightless. The misty Black and Yellow Qi was roving naturally, giving him an incomprehensible feeling.

At the beginning of the world, was the very essence of heaven and earth. It was the Origin Qi of all things, possessing a difficult to imagine mysterious energy. It was the absolute best material for refining Vessels!

Ye Fan carefully controlled the process, not impatient, slowly beginning the refinement. He allowed both of them to merge together, at the same time pressing the copper remnant down on it.

The patinated copper was repeatedly carved into the Xuanhuan essence, the innate Dao Glyphs slowly being left behind.

This was a long process that required time. At the beginning everything went smoothly, and no accidents occurred. 

In this manner, Ye Fan temporarily lived here. He also added several new bindings onto Ji Ziyue in order to prevent her from breaking out of them.

------

Half a month passed.

The lake’s mist gleamed, and the trees and plants were full of life.

Beneath a huge ancient tree, Ji Ziyue was unable to even move as she was bound there. Ye Fan didn’t bother with her screams, completely focused on drawing on her beautiful face.

He drew very quickly, and a frog quickly took shape. He nodded, apparently very satisfied. Placing down the brush in his hand, he raised a mirror and showed Ji Ziyue’s reflection to her.

She shrieked as if an extremely frightening thing was happening. Her scream was ear-piercing, filled with anger. She gnashed her teeth, her eyes glaring furiously at Ye Fan.

“Half a month passed, but you have only wrote a small portion of the ancient scripture. I need the whole scripture…” He patiently guided her, saying, “I have the Xuanhuan essence that rarely appears even in hundreds of thousands of years. If you write the ancient scripture for me, I’ll give this Origin Qi to you. It’s mutually beneficial to us.”

Ji Ziyue truly was somewhat moved. “I need time to carefully think it over.”

“Don’t think I don’t know you’re just buying time.” Ye Fan sat down and prepared the brush for her. Removing the seal on her right hand, he said, “Don’t dawdle. With the Origin Qi so close, don’t you want it?”

Ji Ziyue angrily said, “You’re too much! I already gave you several precious items and you still aren’t happy. If it comes to it, I’ll struggle with my life against you. As long as I die, my body’s trace will definitely appear in the Ji Family and everything you’ve done will be known…”

Ye Fan was immediately without words. Placing a phoenix hairpin, two bracelets, and a couple earrings in front of her, he said, “What do you expect me to do with these things? As long as you write down the ancient scripture for me, I’ll give them all back to you.”

Her expression immediately changed to become weeping. “It’s not that I don’t want to write it down. The family’s seniors have already sealed an immortal spell on me. If I were to reveal it, I’ll immediately die…”

Ye Fan gently smiled, saying, “Don’t act so miserable. I don’t believe you.”

She helplessly cried, saying, “I’ve never had any hostility towards you, even letting off the demon race’s people, but you still treat me like this…”

This truly did cause Ye Fan some shame. This problem truly was difficult to resolve. He couldn’t kill her, and he couldn’t let her go, or there would be endless trouble. Even after pressing her for the ancient scripture he was unable to obtain much.

“The ancient scripture is something I must have. Stop putting on an act…”

Ji Ziyue immediately switched expressions, her tears vanishing and beginning to appear determined. “I’ll fight to the end against you!”

“Well, do your best.” YE Fan started to take of her clothes.

She screamed sharply, “What are you planning on doing?! STOP!”

“Are you going to write the ancient scripture?”

“I…”

Ye Far completely removed her shoes and socks, revealing two little jade-like feet, sparkling with splendor and incomparably beautiful.

“You…” Ji Ziyue was incomparably humiliated and angry, now actually frightening. In a trembling voice, she said, “Stop…”

Ye Fan wasn’t fast or slow. Leaving a layer of honey on her feet, he then grabbed a bunch of ants and placed them upon her.

Within the forest, Ji Ziyue’s shamed and angry cry rang out. “You little brat Ye Fan, I’m not done with you, AHHH!!!”

---

An hour later, Ye Fan walked to the lake’s edge with several pages in his hand. He was completely focused on the scripture written on it.

“The Grand Dao is like an abyss. The ancestor of all things is connected to everything…”

Ye Fan read it and pondered it. The Ji Family’s ancient scripture truly did have some original points that were not within the Dao Scripture.

In just the first few words, he found that this scripture’s main focus was on the void with endless uses, known as the Ji Family’s Empty Void Scripture.

The Grand Dao of the Void, it weakened everything’s attack, it resolved all conflicts, it harmonized all radiance, it muddled all faults, but in the end, its basis was the eternal void.

But Ji Ziyue was too resolute, preferring to die than yielding. She only wrote a couple very limited pages. He still needed time to obtain the entire scripture.

The scripture on these pages was not very coherent. The portion on the Dao Palace was too pitifully little with only half a page on it.

“The Harvest God does not die. It exists for the mysterious valley, the mysterious valley’s door for the root of the world…”

Although it was just a short half page, it did enlighten Ye Fan on what needed to be cultivated within the Dao Palace realm.

“So you really do have to cultivate five gods!”

If people could cultivate the Dao Scripture’s five gods and could then use them, they could extend their life span and gain five types of Qi. With the gods’ Qi merging with their own, all kinds of mysterious events might occur.

The Dao Palace seemed much more mysterious than the Wheel and Sea, with all kinds of magical sights appearing from it. But Ye Fan only had this half page, so he didn’t know what they were.

To cultivate the Dao Palace required that you cross over the Sea of Bitterness. Only by reaching Paramita, the other side, could one continue.

---

In the next few days, Ye Fan started to bitterly cultivate. He didn’t wish to waste the slightest bit of time.

During this time, he also continuously refined the Xuanhuan essence, continuously merging it perfectly and copying the greened copper’s Dao Glyphs onto it. 

Of course, the most important thing Ye Fan was doing was beginning to refine the Demon Emperor’s heart’s essence blood. He needed a powerful strength, and if he didn’t exploit this heart within his Spring of Life, it really would be a waste.

This time, he used the Black and Yellow Qi to force the sacred heart to give up its blood. 

With the copper shard suppressing it at the bottom of the Sea, the sacred heart could not resist the cauldron. It had no movement, and over half a month, Ye Fan managed to refine its essence blood, allowing his body to continuously strengthen, on the verge of another transformation.

Ji Ziyue saw this from the distance, and was startled, vaguely feeling that Ye Fan’s body held many secrets and was far from as simple as he appeared.

On the nineteenth day of refining the Demon Emperor’s sacred blood, a huge change occurred. The scarlet heart seemed like it could no longer endure this, and completely exploded. 

Ye Fan’s golden Sea of Bitterness completely flared out. If it were not for the patinated copper there, his body might have exploded into pieces.

The Demon Emperor’s sacred heart started pulsing, completely recovering its vitality. Having had its sacred blood snatched, it seemed it wanted to crush Ye Fan.

Back in the day, even experts beyond the Paramita realm were unable to bear it, so its might was imaginable!

With the Black and Yellow Qis circulating around the greened copper, his Wheel and Sea stabilized, allowing Ye Fan to avoid any danger. That flaming heart directly opened Ye Fan’s Sea of Bitterness and turned into a bright bloody ray that disappeared over the horizon.

Ye Fan’s Sea of Bitterness hurt. Although it quickly closed, it was a long time before he recovered. This result caused him to be bewildered, and he muttered to himself, “I suppressed it too fiercely and now the Demon Emperor’s sacred heart actually flew away!”

The powerful sacred heart was unwilling to be stolen from every day, and in the end, it completely disappeared into the sky.

“Heavens, that’s the demon clan’s Great Emperor’s heart! It was actually inside your body!” Ji Ziyue was stupefied, her whole face covered in shock.

Ye Fan didn’t chase after it. Sitting still, he absorbed the last bit of sacred blood he had obtained into his body.

At this moment, his whole body was like jade, his organs flashing, his bones bright, his skin shining. After the baptism of the sacred blood, he felt a difficult to bear pain.

At last, after consuming two sacred medicines, he now started his third shedding of his mortal body.

This was a painful and hard to endure process. Over half a day passed before it ended. Ye Fan looked like a god as he stood there, divine light shooting out, as bright as the sun and moon, as resplendent as the stars in the sky. 

---

A long time passed before the light finally disappeared. He had now returned to his original appearance.

He felt a powerful strength within him. After the third shedding of his mortal body, he felt as if he had been reborn in flames, his whole body filled with inexhaustible energy!

Clenching his fingers, his fist turned golden and actually had lightning around it, looking like it could break heaven and earth.

The most unimaginable thing was the Black and Yellow Qi appeared on his fists, as if they had been smelted upon them.

Ji Ziyue was astonished, her jaw dropping and saying, “What has this guy done?”

A cool breeze blew by and Ye Fan’s black hair fluttered. Tightly clenching his golden fist, he felt incomparably powerful, the Black and Yellow Qi filling the air.
