295: Chapter 300: 100,000 Jin Source 295: Chapter 300: 100,000 Jin Source “You should stop daydreaming if you want to obtain the divine arts recorded in the Empty Void Scripture!” The Ji Family members looked displeased.
This person was Ye Fan, who had cheated them out of ten thousand pounds of Source, and now he had his sights set on the Empty Void Ancient Scripture.
“There’s no need to hold back; I have ancient scriptures too.
Why don’t we sit down and discuss them?” Ye Fan smiled.
“There are only a few ancient scriptures in the Eastern Wastelands, and my Ji Family monopolizes one of them.
What scripture do you have to discuss?” said one of them, trying to stall for time and awaiting rescue.
“I have a volume of the Dao Scripture and a volume of the West Emperor Scripture.
I wonder which one interests you?” Ye Fan knew their attempt to delay but was not concerned, he asked casually.
“What?
You have ancient scriptures too?
Not only the Dao Scripture but also the West Emperor Scripture from Jade Lake?
How did you acquire them?” The people from the Ji Family were shocked.
They believed Ye Fan had no need to lie since they were sealed and everything was under his control.
“As I said…
discussing scriptures with me wouldn’t be a loss for you.
How about it?” Ye Fan’s smile intensified.
“Recite a passage from the scripture for us first,” the people from the Ji Family requested.
“How about we recite them simultaneously?” Ye Fan suggested with an innocent tone.
The tense atmosphere instantly relaxed, and the Ji Family members eased up, engaging in a back-and-forth with Ye Fan to buy time.
Ye Fan maintained an innocent demeanor, earnestly negotiating with them.
However, suddenly, a golden beam shot out from his forehead, piercing into one person’s skull.
He wasn’t trying to kill but had struck suddenly to use his divine sense and seize their scripture imprint.
He feared he wouldn’t obtain it under normal circumstances.
Not long ago, in the Yun Array Mountains, he had tried to strip the Ji Family disciples’ Sea of Consciousness imprint, but their divine sense had suddenly collapsed.
SPLAT!
The Ji Family disciple’s skull exploded instantly, and Ye Fan’s divine sense retreated in a sorry state, rushing back into his forehead.
BOOM!
A destructive aura permeated the air, with terrifying telekinesis surging forth like a flood, sweeping towards Ye Fan.
He uttered a light shout, and the Origin Qi descended to shield him.
CLANG!
A deafening noise arose, and an ancient Great Cauldron blocked the formidable killing intent, shattering those telekinetic forces and causing them to dissipate into the void.
Once again, he had failed; the result was the same as before.
The opponent’s Sea of Consciousness held a mysterious seal that triggered upon any attempt at extraction.
“You…” The remaining four from the Ji Family paled dramatically.
“At this point, there’s nothing more to say.
If you want to live, exchange the Empty Void Ancient Scripture for your lives.
Otherwise, there’s only one word left—death,” Ye Fan said solemnly.
He didn’t hold much hope.
Divine scan couldn’t extract it, and getting these people to reveal it themselves was highly unlikely.
“Attack!” Two members of the Ji Family still had their bat Power.
They refused to sit idly by, and each of them summoned seven or eight Weapons, all as radiant as stars.
They were desperate, willing to sacrifice their Weapons to severely injure Ye Fan.
Each Weapon practically ignited, brilliant and dazzling.
CLANG!
The Origin Qi Cauldron lightly quivered, and the Weapons on the verge of shattering were absorbed into it, emitting blinding light and surging energy from within.
All the Weapons burned and shattered, but they couldn’t harm Ye Fan at all.
Ultimately, the interior of the Origin Qi Cauldron returned to silence, leaving only a heap of scrap metal.
Ye Fan struck like lightning, knocking the two to the ground and rendering them bat-ineffective.
“I don’t want to say much.
Whoever reveals the Innate Void Qi will be spared.
Otherwise, only death awaits.” Initially, the four remained silent, stubbornly refusing to promise.
This made Ye Fan frown; forcibly extracting the information would only cause their Sea of Consciousness to shatter.
“I’m giving you a chance…” Finally, Ye Fan allowed them to regain their bat Power and engaged with each of the four, secretly employing the Fighting Saint Technique to mimic the Innate Void Qi.
Eventually, he figured it out: it was a secret art blending the Innate Qi with the void.
He lacked the cultivation method but understood the concept.
When Ye Fan used the Fighting Saint Technique to activate this divine art, Ji Yunteng, Ji Yunsheng, and the others almost had their eyes pop out.
Ye Fan uttered a light shout; Divine Radiance burst from his mouth, sweeping across the ten directions like a tsunami, its power tremendous!
“You…
how do you know this divine art?!” “Let’s have a contest to see who’s stronger.” Ye Fan activated it with the Fighting Saint Technique, facing off against them.
It wasn’t the true Innate Void Qi, but its power was no less formidable.
This was the Dou Character Secret, one of the nine secret arts.
It could evolve into various offensive divine arts, ever-changing, truly a Supreme Sacred Technique!
Gradually, Ye Fan became increasingly adept.
When he exhaled, it was like a river of stars descending from the heavens, with unmatched power.
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit far surpassed ordinary people; the Innate Qi was like a sea, making this divine art perfect for him.
Unlike these others, who, after exhaling a single mouthful of Innate Void Qi, would have their body drained of enormous Qi, leaving them nearly exhausted.
HMPH!
Ye Fan demonstrated again.
He opened his mouth and exhaled, and out came a scroll with Dao Glyphs flickering on it, like a Sealing Heaven Ancient Scroll, directly subduing the four.
“How is this possible?!” Ji Yunteng and the others were filled with utter disbelief.
Ye Fan’s mastery of the Innate Void Qi was far more terrifying than theirs, as if he had intimately understood it for many years, leaving them unable to prehend.
“Thank you for letting me gain another offensive divine art!” Ye Fan finally stopped his demonstration after a while.
This wasn’t the Ji Family’s divine art but was activated using the Dou Character Technique from the nine secret arts.
「Half an hour later.」 Ye Fan returned to Fire Cloud City and spread rumors everywhere about the Ji Family being untrustworthy, warning that collecting rewards could lead to deadly consequences.
Afterwards, he quickly disappeared.
The Ji Family was in a frenzy but eventually quelled the storm, claiming that someone had deceived others with false information to cheat them out of Source.
It must be said that the Ancient Nobilities are colossal entities.
As a result, Fire Cloud City returned to “harmoniousness,” with hardly anyone believing Ye Fan’s claims.
Ye Fan was already aware that the Ji Family’s influence could smooth over any disputes.
He did all this to instill apprehension in them, making it easier for him to act in the future.
「Half a month later.」 Ye Fan returned to Haizhou and arrived at the stone village.
The big black dog had finally recovered.
It looked much thinner and was now allergic to pink fruit, its mouth twitching at the sight of them.
“Black Emperor, you ate an Immortal Fruit.
What’s its effect?
Did you gain immense benefits?” Ye Fan asked with a smile.
“Bring this up again, and I’ll be furious!” the big black dog said angrily.
It never suffered losses, but unprecedentedly, a piece of fruit had overwhelmed it.
The memory still made it feel like foaming at the mouth.
“There should be some effects; that fruit was evidently extraordinary,” Ye Fan mused, stroking his chin.
“Effects, my foot!
It’s made everything I eat taste as bitter as coptis—painfully bitter—and I don’t know when it’ll pletely go away.” The big black dog was extremely frustrated, blaming no one but itself for being greedy and fighting over that fruit.
Tu Fei did not disappoint, gathering twenty-five thousand pounds of Source, all sparkling, high-quality Pure Source.
“With so much Source, I demand half!” The greedy big black dog lunged, wanting to snatch it, but Ye Fan swept his long sleeves and collected it all.
“WOOF!” “You damned dog, stop snatching!” “I’ve helped you several times, yet I always end up with bad luck.
You need to pensate me.” “Alright, no problem.” Ye Fan readily agreed; he had mainly returned to seek the big black dog’s assistance.
Subsequently, Ye Fan found Tu Fei to discuss his plans.
“What?
Are you crazy?
Expose yourself and let someone collect the one hundred thousand pounds of Source?!” Tu Fei exclaimed.
“Correct.
It’s a rare opportunity, and highly feasible,” Ye Fan nodded.
Tu Fei shook his head and said, “You’ve already conned out ten thousand pounds of Source.
They’ll surely be on guard now; it’s impossible to continue slicing meat from the tiger.” “Last time’s strategy indeed won’t work.
I’ve heard that clue providers now need divine scan verification, so I must reveal my True Body, giving them an undeniably authentic report.” “That’s too dangerous,” Tu Fei opposed.
“It’s no problem.
As long as it’s well-orchestrated, the success rate is high.
With one hundred thousand pounds of Source in hand, I can immediately enter the Fourth Layer Heaven of Dao Palace!” “You’re betting your life!
If something goes wrong, it’ll be too late to regret!” That big mouth, Tu Fei, strongly objected.
“With the Black Emperor around, I can turn danger into safety…” “WOOF!” The big black dog looked displeased and said, “Kid, being with you, I’ve never gotten a shred of benefit and always end up unlucky.
Don’t count on me this time.” Ye Fan smiled and said, “You always want Source, don’t you?
This time we’re planning to seize one hundred thousand pounds of it.
Think carefully.” “A hundred thousand pounds…” The big black dog’s mouth watered; though inclined to refuse, it could not resist such temptation.
“Damn it, let’s do it!
If I’m unlucky again this time, kid, you’d better be prepared for me to hunt you down!” Ye Fan smiled at Tu Fei and the big black dog, saying, “Actually, as long as this is well planned, there’s no danger.” “Then elaborate,” Tu Fei said.
“The first step is to find a suitable candidate, who will naturally discover me and report to Flickering Light or the Ji Family to claim that one-hundred-thousand-pound bounty.” This was quite challenging.
Nowadays, clue providers needed divine sense verification, and problematic people would surely give themselves away.
This suitable candidate had to be genuinely ignorant and unaware.
Tu Fei pondered slightly and said, “Finding someone to betray you isn’t difficult.
The main challenge is to involve them in the plot naturally, without leaving any traces of our manipulation.” Ye Fan continued with a smile, “Secondly, we need to create momentum.
After the report is made to the Sacred Lands, it’s best to cause a big sensation, letting all the cultivators in that region know and follow along to witness.” “If that’s the case, won’t you be in more danger if you’re surrounded?” Ye Fan chuckled and said, “The Black Emperor is skilled in Dao Glyphs; traversing the void is nothing for him.
I just need to show my face and then immediately cross thousands of miles.” Tu Fei said, “Listening to you, it seems highly feasible.
It might actually succeed.” “Black Emperor, can you ensure absolute safety when traversing the void?” Ye Fan asked.
This step was crucial; without an escape plan, death was certain.
“You’re making it sound too easy,” the Black Emperor mocked mercilessly and said, “As Ancient Nobilities, they surely have secret treasures to anchor the void.
We might not be able to escape when the time es.” “Such artifacts exist?” Ye Fan was surprised.
The Sacred Lands have a long heritage; they’ve certainly refined such secret treasures, the big black dog thought, squinting.
“Fortunately, I’m not so easily defeated; I have ways to cope.” 「On that very day.」 They set off from Haizhou to pursue the one hundred thousand pounds of Source.
