Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

The expected battle did not occur. Xuan Chi sensed Russell's powerful aura and let him pass, giving him only a warning before allowing him to go.

The two entered the city and saw that the streets were old and the ancient buildings were magnificent, one after another, arranged in a well-organized manner.

In the center of the city stands a colossal monument, exuding immense power and surrounded by beams of celestial light. It is densely covered with inscriptions, all of which are divine traces of the Great Dao.

"The divine runes on this form a formation powerful enough to suppress a Great Sage. You can learn from it; you might need it in the future." Russell stroked the giant stele, his eyes gleaming, clearly already analyzing and imprinting it.

Both being Great Sages, Yin Xi is naturally far inferior to him in terms of methods, but when it comes to specialization in a particular path, Russell is far superior.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew." Ye Fan shook his head. Although he had already embarked on the path of nurturing the myriad scriptures and integrating the myriad paths into himself, this level of array patterns was still too far away for him.

He had only just broken through the Dao, and there was still a long way to go before he became a Saint. The Great Saint Array Pattern was still too far away for him.

“That’s true.” With that, Russell released his grip.

He has almost everything that should be in the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens, but most of them are incomplete or directly pirated. All he needs to do is complete them.

As the two passed through the city, a dazzling starry sky appeared before them. The starlight shone brightly and was boundless, like a beautiful painting. The stars seemed within reach, and the Milky Way flowed, casting down streams of starlight, peaceful and sacred.

"Ten years have passed, and we are separated by life and death. I wonder how my old friends in Beidou are doing." Ye Fan noticed the five-colored altar not far away and couldn't help but sigh.

"Stop barking like a dog. I've heard that you've had a lot of romantic encounters in Beidou, and you even took off the bellyband of the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang." Seeing that Ye Fan wanted to show off before leaving, Russell kicked him, sending him flying onto the altar, and then activated the formation without hesitation.

"I already said it was an accident."

Inside the teleportation tunnel, Ye Fan covered his backside and began to defend himself.

He and Yao Xi were absolutely innocent; there was no affair between them whatsoever.

I don't know how Russell knows so much. Over the past ten years, Russell has told his parents about all his female confidantes. His mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and insisted that he bring Ji Ziyue and An Miaoyi to Earth so she could see them.

It's not like we're separated by two main roads; it's like we're in the Milky Way. He pleaded and begged, and his mother finally let him go, but she still couldn't forget about it.

"I don't care if it's an accident or not, I'm following your mother's orders. I'll have to take a picture of each of them and send it to her." Russell said smugly, waving the photo stone in his hand.

"Damn it." Ye Fan sighed and rubbed his forehead. He's a Great Sage now, and he's still so gossipy.

Since cultivation was impossible within the Starry Sky Passage, Ye Fan began discussing the Dao with Russell.

After all, Russell's knowledge was as vast as the Milky Way, and he could answer most of Ye Fan's questions.

They continued their question-and-answer session for an unknown amount of time, traversing nearly forty ancient stars, until the Big Dipper Starfield finally came into view.

"Our next stop is Beidou. Many of my classmates are here. I'll organize a get-together, and we can all get together," Ye Fan said excitedly.

Russell nodded without saying anything. Although Ye Fan was smiling happily now, he remembered that a girl named Qin Yao had died from qi deviation while trying to keep up with Ye Fan. Ye Fan would have something to cry about then.

Nearly half a month later, the journey finally came to an end.

When they emerged from the passage once more, what greeted their eyes was a majestic, towering black mountain range. Each mountain was a king among mountains, an emperor among peaks, and they stood together, their imposing presence awe-inspiring.

"Mount Undying has finally returned!"

Ye Fan took a deep breath of the aura belonging to the Big Dipper.

"Where should we go next?" Russell asked.

Even with his strength, he was unwilling to linger here. The reason was simply that this place was too eerie, and as a Great Sage whose cultivation was in its infancy, he felt no sense of security.

"Let's go to Tianhen City first. I haven't been back for more than ten years, and I don't know how much has happened. Let's go and gather some information first."

Ye Fan took on the task of being the tour guide. He had originally thought about changing his appearance, but then he thought, with the Great Sage following him, what was there to be afraid of? Wouldn't it be wonderful to just push through?

Tianhen City is one of the ten ancient cities in the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness. It is unknown how long it has existed. Ye Fan led Russell to the most luxurious Longevity Tea House in the city with ease. He spent a lot of money to buy two Enlightenment Tea leaves. The two sat down and drank together, while listening to other cultivators in the tea house discuss the current situation of the Big Dipper.

What intrigued Ye Fan the most was the Holy Son of Yao Guang. In just over a decade, the Holy Son of Yao Guang had transformed into the Holy Lord of Yao Guang Holy Land, and eight years ago he was invincible, seemingly the number one person in the Big Dipper.

Before he could even process the news, he heard that his eldest disciple, Ye Tong, was going to have a decisive battle with the prodigy of the Wan Chu Holy Land today. He couldn't sit still, so he grabbed Russell and rushed over.

The decisive battle was chosen to take place in a place called Fire Spirit Valley, which was originally an ancient battlefield located a hundred miles west of Tianhen City.

When Russell and Ye Fan arrived, the mountains surrounding Fire Spirit Valley were crowded with people, many of whom were ancient races with strange appearances. Some had dog heads and human bodies, some had divine wings, and some looked like thunder gods.

"Does your disciple have confidence?" Russell asked telepathically.

"Of course, my disciple is invincible." Ye Fan mingled in the crowd, secretly memorizing the bad things those scoundrels were saying about his disciple, preparing to take revenge later when the opportunity arose.

Before long, Ye Fan's disciple Ye Tong and Mo Xue from the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land arrived above the Fire Spirit Valley, each bringing a large number of people.

More than a dozen powerful figures from the Wan Chu Holy Land came, and hundreds of renowned dragon-transforming elders also arrived.

Although Ye Tong's side had few people, their quality was exceptionally high. First was the Peacock King, who had already achieved the Dao-Severing Success. Jiang Yifei, the Holy Master of the Jiang Family, also came to support Ye Tong. Then came Xia Yiming, the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Yao Yuekong, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and Dongfang Ye, the Barbarian God King.

Without exception, these people were all Ye Fan's former friends or had received favors from him. Now that Ye Fan had left Beidou and his disciple was being bullied, they naturally came to support Ye Tong and prevent him from being bullied.

After exchanging harsh words, Ye Tong and Mo Xue began to fight.

Ye Tong's physique is the legendary Sun Sacred Body. In his early twenties, he was full of vigor and ambition. He stood in the midst of a golden sun, his whole body radiating a brilliant golden light that made it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

Mo Xue, on the other hand, was the complete opposite of him. A strange, cold light shone on her iron armor, and the sky and the ground were filled with a cold glow. A huge rift in the void slashed down, and the sky trembled.

As they clashed, the entire void trembled like a windowpane, all the air currents surged wildly, sand and stones flew from the mountain peaks, and ancient trees were all reduced to dust.

"Alright!" Russell fully utilized his role as a background character in "Covering the Sky," explaining the situation on the battlefield. He first described how powerful Ye Tong's move was and what its origins were, then discussed how Mo Xue responded and what her next move was.

With his perspective, he wouldn't misinterpret such playful banter between juniors.

He broke down each move and technique to its extreme and explained it to everyone.

Of course, he didn't deliberately suppress his voice, so the two people who were in the middle of a fierce battle could hear him.

Mo Xue was no match for Ye Tong to begin with. After Russell revealed all his moves and ideas to the public, how could he calm down? He was beaten back step by step.

The people of Wan Chu Holy Land immediately glared angrily at Russell's location, but before they could utter a word, they were silenced by Peacock King and Yao Yuekong's gazes.

In the arena, Ye Tong's Sun God Bell enveloped Mo Xue. The bell's waves surged like the sea, and the dense, fiery red ripples transformed into runes that submerged the bell's interior. Mo Xue tried everything but could not break free. She had no choice but to blast open the chaotic sea within her body and use the recoil to shake the bell open.

He himself was sent flying backwards, landing in the camp of the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land. His eyes were piercing as he glared at Russell with hatred. In the end, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted from anger.

"This is unfair!" a powerful elder from the Wan Chu Holy Land roared, pointing at the innocent-looking Russell: "If it weren't for this kid interfering, how could my Qilin son have suffered such a defeat?"

"Heh!" The Peacock King snorted coldly, his eyes like knives: "Everyone heard this person's explanation clearly just now. Ye Tong had already gained the upper hand. If it weren't for this person pointing out Ye Tong's weaknesses one after another, Mo Xue would have been defeated before an incense stick could burn."

"That's right! A defeat is a defeat! Don't make excuses here!" Xia Yiming's dragon aura surged, his brows furrowed. He was now the emperor who ruled a dynasty, and when an emperor was angry, the world would change color.

"Ye Tong has no real ability, but won the final battle by resorting to crooked methods, and he's still here spouting nonsense." Two men who looked very powerful swept in from the horizon, with divine flames flickering between their brows, and one of them even had a single horn growing on his forehead, making him look like a deity.

They were two great generals under the Heavenly Emperor's son, both possessing the cultivation level of a Dao-Slaying God-King.

"It should be called a laughing stock. The Holy Body was just a name back then, and his disciples only knew how to use some petty tricks."

With another soft laugh, the young prince of the Demon God Clan and another Dao Slayer cloaked in a cape entered the battlefield.

They stood together, confronting Peacock King Yao Yuekong and his group on equal footing.

"If you are not convinced, wait until I sever my Dao, then we can fight again." Although Ye Tong was young, his domineering aura was just like Ye Fan's. He stared directly at the divine general who had just spoken, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Uh... Old Ye, have I caused trouble for your disciple?" Several Dao Slayers faced each other from a distance, none of them daring to make a move. Russell nudged Ye Fan, who had just returned from knocking down many people, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's nothing. Even if you don't say anything, they won't admit it. These damn holy lands have plenty of excuses. They won't know the pain unless you tear a piece off their flesh." Ye Fan waved his hand. He had been swindling and cheating in Beidou for many years and knew the holy lands' nature very well.

However, the matter between the Holy Land and his disciple was originally just a civil war among humans, but now that they have joined forces with the ancient races to harm his disciple, he can no longer sit idly by.

He had just returned when someone bullied his disciple right in front of him. This was unacceptable.

Immediately, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and a black gun appeared. He strode forward, step by step, until he reached the center of the battlefield.

The sudden appearance of such a person surprised many cultivators, who wondered which side he belonged to and who he would attack.

Among those present were Ye Fan's close friends and disciples, and since Ye Fan made no attempt to conceal his appearance, how could they not recognize him?

"Ye... Ye Fan!?" Yao Yuekong immediately smiled: "You're finally back?"

"Master!" Ye Tong was overjoyed and extremely excited.

"Long time no see." Ye Fan greeted them one by one, patted Ye Tong's head, and then raised his spear to scan the four Dao Slayers in front of him: "How dare you bully my disciple? You'll leave your lives behind today."

"Arrogant!" The young prince of the Demon God Clan was furious and was about to kill Ye Fan.

Although they are all Dao-Slaying God-Kings, the difference between Dao-Slaying individuals is definitely greater than that between a human and a dog.

Ye Fan, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, fought four opponents single-handedly. With a swift movement, he pierced and killed the four Dao-Slaying Venerables. Finally, he pressed the spear tip against the forehead of the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord, forcing several old monsters from the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land to self-destruct, or he would slaughter everyone in the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land.

"Fourteen years have passed, and Ye Fan has become even stronger."

The Peacock King sighed.

When they first met, Ye Fan was just a young man who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. Now, when they meet again, he has already surpassed him. Truly, every generation produces its own talented individuals.

“This is clearly terrifyingly strong,” Yao Yuekong added.

He originally thought that he had made up for his innate deficiencies and that he could fight Ye Fan to some extent after breaking through the Dao. He did not expect that Ye Fan's progress was even more outrageous than his. He was probably already at the seventh level of breaking through the Dao. He was truly a monster.

“No, he’s only at the third level,” Russell corrected them as he approached the two.

"It's you!" Yao Yuekong and Dongfang Ye exchanged a glance and recognized Russell as the commentator.

“My name is Russell. I’m from Ye Fan’s hometown. You are his friends in Beidou. According to the substitution formula, we are also friends,” Russell said earnestly.

"Although I don't understand what formula you're talking about, you're right about one thing: you're Ye Fan's friend, so naturally you're our friend too." Dongfang Ye patted his chest and laughed.

He had just thought Russell's insights were quite remarkable, but he never expected that he was Ye Fan's friend.

Ye Fan is indeed skilled at making friends.

Dongfang Ye's behavior made Yao Yuekong rub her temples in despair. How many times had she told him to be more composed? Why couldn't he listen?

Then he saw Dongfang Ye and Russell huddled together, arms around each other, whispering something to each other while chuckling maliciously.

"..."

After a two-second silence, Yao Yuekong joined in the smirking. (End of Chapter)
