The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 501 Reencounter with Liu Yunzhi and His Two Men

However, the Yao Guang Holy Land's practice of cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art using the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor also has a flaw that is not exactly a flaw:

That is, the demand for the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor is much greater than that of other extreme forces.

The greater the demand for the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, the more the Yao Guang Holy Land becomes dependent on the Wuji Holy Court.

In order to obtain more Chaos Heavenly Emperor blood, the Yao Guang Holy Land has spared no effort in cultivating its prodigies, hoping that their own prodigies can pass the test of the Wuji Holy Court and become a member of the Wuji Holy Court.

As long as their own prodigy enters the Wuji Holy Court, even if they can only provide some convenience to the Yao Guang Holy Land within the bounds of the law, the Yao Guang Holy Land will still benefit greatly.

The Ancient Sacred Body is a top-tier physique in the universe. While it cannot be guaranteed that possessing such a physique will ensure passing the trials of the Boundless Sacred Court and becoming a member of the Boundless Sacred Court, the possibility is extremely high.

If Ye Fan could join the Boundless Holy Court, under its nurturing, he might very well achieve a different kind of enlightenment, just like the Supreme Ancient Holy Body.

Moreover, the suppression of the Great Dao is about to dissipate, and the Golden Age is about to arrive. In an era without an emperor, it is not impossible for someone like the Holy Body who followed the Heavenly Emperor 100,000 years ago to prove the Dao and become an emperor.

Such a promising talent, who has already entered the Lingxu Cave Heaven under their Yaoguang faction, is naturally not to be let go of; they are determined to acquire him.

However, other powerful forces, upon receiving the message from the Yan Kingdom's subordinate grotto-heavens, did not give up and also sent people to the Lingxu Grotto-heavens, hoping to snatch the person away before the arrival of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

Ultimately, the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ji family arrived first. When the Ji family saw that the powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land had arrived with supreme imperial weapons, they knew they couldn't take anyone away.

Although they couldn't steal him, they still wanted to get a share of the pie from Ye Fan's Ancient Sacred Body.

How can we get a share of the profits?

It's very simple: a marriage alliance! This is a common tactic used by the noble families of the Holy Land.

However, the marriage partner was not Ji Ziyue, but Ji Biyue, who in the original work chased after Ji Ziyue and almost drove her to the brink of death.

The reason it was her is twofold: firstly, Ji Biyue is both talented and beautiful, ranking first among the new generation of women in the Ji family, second only to Ji Ziyue; secondly, the powerful members of the Ji family who arrived had a closer relationship with Ji Biyue.

Secondly, Ji Ziyue possesses a special physique, the Yuanling Body, making it beyond his control to arrange a marriage for her.

In a normal, arduous era, all the powerful figures above the Saint level in the Ji family would be sealed away, and the people in charge would be a group of great powers with little knowledge. Although the status of the Yuanling Body was not low, it was not very high either.

However, this was not a normal era of hardship, because the Ancient Star Road of the Boundless Holy Court existed. Although the Ji family did not have any Quasi-Emperors in this era, they had several Great Saints.

Given the exceptionally high potential of the Yuanling Body, the Ji family naturally places great importance on it. Moreover, since the Ji family intends to have Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue join the Wuji Holy Court, they will not easily arrange a marriage for them.

Yao Guang Holy Land did not refuse this offer. Having more friends meant having more options, and a marriage alliance with the Ji family would be entirely beneficial to Yao Guang Holy Land.

Then, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were taken to the Yao Guang Holy Land for cultivation.

The Yao Guang Holy Land is not like the Lingxu Cave Heaven. It not only has abundant resources, but it is also very generous to Ye Fan, who has an ancient holy body.

In the beginning, various rare and precious materials and cultivation resources were constantly provided for him to cultivate and lay a solid foundation. Even when he reached the Other Shore Realm, a drop of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood was used to baptize him. In just three years, Ye Fan cultivated to the first level of the Dao Palace and mastered many powerful secret techniques. His combat strength was formidable, no weaker than that of ordinary people at the first or second level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Of course, he was just an ordinary rogue cultivator at the first or second level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. He couldn't possibly advance that many levels when facing elite geniuses from holy lands and aristocratic families.

Pang Bo was originally a descendant of a demon god whose bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form. He had also consumed several sacred fruits. Under the nurturing of the Yao Guang Holy Land, his cultivation speed was not slow. He had already reached the Other Shore Realm and was not far from the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Their departure from the Yao Guang Holy Land now is not considered an expedition for training, as their current level is not yet at the right stage for such training.

The purpose of taking them out this time is twofold: first, to broaden their horizons and prevent them from becoming arrogant and unaware of their own worth due to excessive flattery, like the previous Holy Body, who ended up mediocre and couldn't even pass the test of the Boundless Holy Court; and second, to go to the Ji family to finalize the previously verbally agreed-upon marriage contract.

Knowing that Ye Fan's fate would change drastically once again after leaving the Yao Guang Holy Land, Li Daoming ignored him and turned his gaze away, enjoying life while training a few people.

On the other side, Ye Fan arrived at the Ji family in high spirits and defeated a genius of the Ji family who was at the fifth level of the Dao Palace.

Ye Fan also tested each other with Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family. Since Ji Haoyue had already entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm and her combat power was not weak, Ye Fan suffered a small loss, which made him more competitive and eager to fight.

Even so, Ye Fan's cultivation and combat strength satisfied the Ji family, and they officially finalized the marriage agreement that had been verbally agreed upon.

After staying at the Ji family for a few days, Ye Fan and the group from the Yao Guang Holy Land left the Ji family and headed to several major grotto-heavens in the Yan Kingdom. Ye Fan wanted to take the opportunity to meet with Pang Bo and agree, and the powerful figures accompanying him from the Yao Guang Holy Land did not object.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Ye Fan, who was flying on a rainbow, seemed to have noticed something and stopped.

"Ye Zi, what's wrong?" Pang Bo asked, puzzled.

"Look over there?" Pang Bo looked in the direction Ye Fan was pointing and was immediately incredulous: "Liu Yunzhi, Li Changqing, Wang Yan, how could it be them? Shouldn't they be dead?"

"I don't know, they've discovered us too, and they're coming for us. They seem to be quite powerful," Ye Fan said with a serious expression.

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if their cultivation is similar to ours, they will never be our match. Besides, we also have the elders!" Pang Bo didn't care much. On the contrary, he was eager to rush over and fight Liu Yunzhi and the other two.

He felt that even if Liu Yunzhi and his men survived by sheer luck, they would definitely not be a match for them.

Moreover, even though this open space only has the two of them, their status in the Yao Guang Holy Land is not low, especially Ye Fan. Once his cultivation level is high, he can directly obtain the position of Holy Son. How could he not have someone protecting him?
Not only does he have a supreme expert and several powerful figures protecting him, but Ye Fan also possesses a life-saving jade talisman that can ensure his survival. In the event of an accident, a saint might arrive immediately.

"It really is you!" At this moment, Liu Yunzhi and his two companions flew to Ye Fan and Pang Bo's vicinity, carrying a hint of smugness and arrogance:

"Hahaha... You didn't expect this, did you? Throwing us into the tiger's den not only failed to kill us, but also gave us a great opportunity. Today is your death day."

"Whose death is yet to be determined!" Ye Fan stepped forward and retorted sharply.

Although it's understandable that Liu Yunzhi and his two companions must have powerful backgrounds to have cultivated to this level in such a short time, the Yao Guang Holy Land is an extremely powerful force, and it has also formed a marriage alliance with the Ji family, so it fears no force in the Beidou region.
