Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 196 Ancient City of the Central Region
Outside the Immortal Mausoleum lies a vast wilderness stretching for millions of miles, sparsely populated by humans, making it extremely difficult to find a town inhabited by any living beings.

But it is not entirely absent. On the outermost edge of this wilderness lies an ancient city built in the ancient times, named Tianhuang.

This is not only the outermost edge of the Immortal Mausoleum, but also the outermost edge of the Heavenly Fracture Mountain Range. Hundreds of thousands of miles to the north lies the flattened Heavenly Fracture Mountain Range.

Qi Zhe is currently staying in the city, focusing on his cultivation and oblivious to the affairs of the outside world. All the commotion in the Eastern Wilderness is irrelevant to him.

"Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life, how delightful!"

Qi Zhe bought a small courtyard in the city and was lying on a rattan chair, comfortably urging himself to cultivate his mind. He was very relaxed.

A few days ago, Qi Zhe found Shou Xin and stayed in Tianhuang Ancient City, ignoring the recent events.

But the discussions about him just wouldn't stop. In recent days, there have even been rumors that he has been reborn and plundered a city in the Central Region.

Someone is using his name to cause trouble, just like he did bad things under the name Ye Fan back then. He's been framed.

But Qi Zhe didn't bother with it. He knew very well that not many people could carry his name for long, and that there would inevitably be a day when they would suffer a backlash.

"You dare to take on my karma?"

Just as Qi Zhe was enjoying his leisurely time, a ragged young man entered the ancient city, his weathered appearance surprising everyone.

Traveling millions of miles was not easy for Ye Fan. Even though he was quite fast, he couldn't traverse the void, and it took him a full ten days to get here.

His disheveled appearance also concealed much of his true nature, and few people in the Central Region bothered him.

"They actually came to the Central Region." Qi Zhe immediately sensed their arrival after they entered the city and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Ye Fan's journey has been fraught with difficulties. He has made his way here step by step from the Southern Region, but now he is stuck because he does not have the Dao Palace scriptures.

However, he had indeed found out that he was about to set off for the Northern Region, intending to find an opportunity to obtain the Western Emperor's Scripture Palace Scroll.

Ye Fan hadn't rested for long in Tianhuang Ancient City when Qi Zhe found him, and they reunited in an inn.

"It's been a long time," Qi Zhe said with a smile, standing in front of Ye Fan with curiosity and a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Qi Zhe didn't appear out of nowhere; he knew very well that Ye Fan was about to head to the Northern Region and wanted to have a chat with him before his departure.

Qi Zhe's sudden appearance also surprised Ye Fan. He had just finished washing up and asked with a look of surprise, "Brother Qi, what are you doing here?"

Qi Zhe is now universally hated, and countless people despise him to the core, yet he has now brazenly appeared in an ancient city.

This surprised Ye Fan greatly, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Qi Zhe scoffed, "If you can be here, why can't I? Is there any place in the world I can't go?"

Qi Zhe is now confident that, apart from those few restricted areas, there are not many places in this world where he can stay, and there is no place he cannot stay.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan could only shake his head and smile wryly, "That's true."

Looking at Ye Fan's expression, Qi Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I sensed you ever since you entered the city. It seems you haven't been doing well lately."

Ye Fan's current situation is very different from his original situation, and his trajectory has deviated, which even Qi Zhe could not have predicted.

Upon hearing Qi Zhe's words, Ye Fan smiled wryly and said, "That's true. My physique has serious problems, and how I can continue cultivating is also a problem."

However, Ye Fan was very determined. He did not ask Qi Zhe for help, but was determined to follow his own path and forge ahead no matter how difficult it was.

His face held an astonishingly determined look, which surprised Qi Zhe, who knew that this was a manifestation of an invincible spirit.

Qi Zhe's lips curled into a smirk as he stared at Ye Fan's expression and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to the Northern Region to retrieve the Western Emperor Scripture Dao Palace Scroll?" It has always been said in the Eastern Wilderness that various Great Emperor Scriptures have their own strongest aspects, such as the Dao Scripture Wheel Sea Scroll being invincible for Foundation Establishment and the Western Emperor Scripture Dao Palace being supreme.

However, it should be noted that there have been thirty emperors throughout history. Since the beginning of the mythological era, there may have been three or four hundred enlightened beings from various races. Who dares to say that their scriptures are necessarily superior to others?
Qi Zhe felt that even the Emperor wouldn't dare to say such a thing. This kind of strongest ancient scripture was ultimately just people's imagination, and almost no one in the world had ever verified it.

Even the greatest emperor in this world cannot see all the ancient scriptures that exist, nor can he judge which ancient scripture is the strongest in which field.

Ye Fan's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Qi Zhe had guessed his goal. After a moment, he could only nod and say, "That's right, I don't have any ancient scriptures to cultivate with, so this is the only way."

At this moment, Qi Zhe was not there to persuade Ye Fan to give up this idea. This was Ye Fan's path, and he had no right to interfere. He had other ideas.

At this moment, Qi Zhe slowly said, "The Holy Body is not as simple as you think. The invincible physique has its own invincible techniques!"

"The holy bodies cultivated by the holy lands in the past all went astray; they lacked that one method, and therefore all of them failed!"

Qi Zhe had always been curious about what the Perfect Holy Body Method was like, and he wanted to understand its mysteries, believing that it contained the ultimate secret of the Holy Body lineage.

Now that he is cultivating the Sacred Body True Scripture, the five secret realms are becoming stronger and stronger, and he can feel their potential. If he can comprehend the Sacred Body Flawless Method, he may gain even more.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was startled. He didn't quite understand Qi Zhe's meaning and stood there for a moment, waiting for Qi Zhe to explain.

“In the past, all the Great Perfection Saint Bodies in the Eastern Wilderness possessed a flawless method. This method could cultivate the Saint Body Secret Realm to its strongest level and was the foundation of its invincibility.”

"It's a pity that with the death of the last Great Accomplished Holy Body in a foreign land, the Perfect Method was lost, and it was difficult for later Holy Bodies to find its inheritance."

Qi Zhe told Ye Fan that in the post-ancient era, a holy body obtained a flawed method and cultivated to the realm of a sage even without breaking the curse.

The Holy Body left behind a remnant, which can only be replicated by Holy Bodies of the same origin; others would never be able to discover it.

Ye Fan felt a little dizzy after hearing Qi Zhe recount the secret, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there really such a thing?"

Qi Zhe nodded and said, "Absolutely no falsehood whatsoever."

Qi Zhe then explained his purpose: he wanted to obtain a copy of the method after Ye Fan figured it out in the future, so he could comprehend its mysteries.

Ye Fan was also somewhat dazed. He felt that Qi Zhe must have a deeper meaning in doing so, but he still nodded and said, "If I have something to gain, I will naturally not be stingy."

But when he tried to ask Qi Zhe where the remains of that sacred body were, Qi Zhe didn't say much, only that it was in the hands of a powerful being and not so easy to obtain.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan could only abandon the idea of ​​immediately obtaining that kind of method and prepared to inquire further and make a long-term plan.

Qi Zhe then said directly, "The Northern Regions are vast and beautiful, perfect for you. Would you like me to take you there?"

He didn't plan to go to the Northern Region with Ye Fan; he wanted to stay in the Central Region to continue cultivating, and he didn't care about anything else.

Ye Fan also realized that Qi Zhe probably didn't want to go to the Northern Region anymore, so he nodded and said, "It's always good to be able to travel less."

Without hesitation, Qi Zhe led Ye Fan out of the city and cast a great formation to send him away. It was at this moment that he encountered the master and disciple again.

"I'm getting old." The hunched old man, his eyes cloudy, stood in a desolate place, staring at Qi Zhe without looking away.

I don't have any ideas, so I'll just take a break and not ramble on.

By the way, here's something funny: last night I dreamt that Dong Ge released a new book, and I found his outline. I was so happy in the dream.

Dreams are wonderful; you can have anything.
