Among all the heavens, I, Xiao Yan, did not use any cheat codes.

Chapter 74 Brother Xiao, you have traveled far and wide, and are a hero of the world. Please try to interpret the Book of Changes.

"Half a year has passed, how come you've gotten so bad? What realm are you at, yet you're being hunted down by the Great Luo Sect?"

With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Yan put away the Xuanzhong Ruler, beaming with joy.

To be fair, these veteran male protagonists all survived various ambushes and attacks.

I wonder who's chasing Ye Fan right now.

"Haha, I also have to thank Brother Xiao for his help. If it weren't for your assistance, I wouldn't have been able to reach the Manifestation Realm." After joking with Xiao Yan for a few moments, Hong Yi's eyes were full of emotion.

Quite a few things have happened in the past six months.

"Oh, right, I happen to have something for you." He casually tossed some pills to the group behind Hong Yi as a greeting gift. With a thought, Xiao Yan sent a message to Hong Yi.

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into Hong Yi's mind.

This is a useful item that Xiao Yan extracted from Zhao Feirong after killing her.

To be fair, Hong Xuanji treated his daughter quite well. This Zhao Feirong had actually learned a fragment of the Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death, a cultivation method that leads directly to the Martial Saint realm, and it also included some rudimentary cultivation methods for acupoints.

The most useful thing is actually this Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens. Xiao Yan saw a Frankenstein's monster flavor in it, but to be honest, it was sewn very well. Then it's not sewing anymore, it's called fusion.

Copying one person is copying; copying more than ten thousand people is sewing; sewing together tens of millions of people is true heroism.

This is a technique that combines the strengths of many schools of thought.

Upon seeing this thing, Xiao Yan gained some insight. It wasn't that this thing was of any benefit to his cultivation, but rather that the concept behind it allowed him to make connections and think of things he hadn't considered before.

Absorb its essence and integrate it all into your own methods.

Having high comprehension means you can understand anything you see.

When you get into a fight, if you're asked whether you won or lost, the answer will always be "I've come to an understanding."

So the God of the Heart, who was originally pondering his ultimate move, had something else to do: besides this, he also had to carefully study the so-called method of cultivating acupoints.

Xiao Yan had never been so eager to find more workers, nor had he ever been so eager to spar with more experts, preferably experts from the Yangshen world and the Shrouding the Heavens world.

"The Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens? And the Yin-Yang Dao of the Stars?" Hong Yi's eyes widened. Even though they were only incomplete copies and he had only glanced at them, the profound mysteries within them shocked him greatly.

These are top-tier techniques!

"Yes, that martial arts technique belongs to some disloyal, unkind, and unjust swine. As for the Star Constellation Yin Yang Dao, it's currently considered the domain of a bunch of beasts." Xiao Yan chuckled, thinking that Hong Xuanji and the Daluo Sect were in cahoots, a whole litter of swine.

The biggest change in this timeline is probably that Hong Yi learned about some secrets of the past in advance, allowing him to cut ties with Hong Xuanji earlier.

"So it was that old thief." Upon hearing this, without even thinking, Hong Yi could only think of one person who fit the negative descriptions of being utterly wicked.

His biological father is Hong Xuanji.

"The Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens is quite exquisite, bringing together the essence of martial arts from the Great Luo Sect, the Supreme Dao, and the Great Zen Temple, and combining the strengths of various schools."

Take a look at these two; go and teach your men how to use them.

As he spoke, Xiao Yan suddenly produced a small peach wood sword in his hand. It was the Yin-Yang Peach God Sword, which had been used to break a rock with an egg, but was directly shattered by his physical body.

The divine thoughts contained within this thing are comparable to those of a ghost immortal, and its material is as fleshy as flesh, so it can also be considered a spiritual root.

Unfortunately, to break through his defenses, we'll have to rely on the Holy Emperor's Artifact.

Flames surged in his palm, and in the time it took to speak, various spiritual objects flew out from Xiao Yan's palm, their fragrance filling the air, and in an instant, they were refined into two pills.

The Yi Wood Spirit Pill contains the Qi of Yi Wood, a large amount of divine soul power, and life essence. Xiao Yan also added some insights gained from cultivating the Dao Palace, making this pill even more helpful in unlocking the potential of the liver.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan swallowed one whole. His natal fire instantly transformed into dense essence and soul power, which circulated through his meridians before being rapidly refined.

Feeling the still unopened Dao Palace in his liver area and the increasingly clear acupoints, Xiao Yan was extremely satisfied.

The other pill was given directly to Hong Yi.

"This—Brother Xiao, I cannot accept a gift without having done something." Subconsciously accepting the pill and feeling its immense medicinal power, Hong Yi wanted to refuse, but found that Xiao Yan simply waved his hand and ignored him. He immediately shook his head and smiled, carefully storing the pill into the storage magic artifact that Xiao Yan had given him earlier.

"Just share any good stuff with me later." Xiao Yan didn't care at all. There was still Ye Fan traveling around in the world of "Covering the Sky," and he would go there next time to harvest a lot of goodies. It wouldn't be bad to have Hong Yi traveling around here as well. Hopefully, he could get a copy of the Book of Changes directly next time he came.

Xiao Yan was very confident in his soft skills; with his comprehension, he was certain he could comprehend some supreme divine abilities.

He pulled out a carriage frame and traveled with Hong Yi. Xiao Yan then used his thoughts to search for the location of Baiyun Manor.

That place was a stronghold of the Da Luo Sect. Not only did it hoard crossbows and other dangerous items that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of a family in feudal times, but it also contained many treasures from the Great Zen Temple.

Xiao Yan wasn't after these things.

"Brother Xiao, this Da Luo Sect seems to be a bit shady." Hong Yi frowned as he relayed the information he had gathered along the way to Xiao Yan.

Although there is no concrete evidence, it seems that the Da Luo faction was secretly involved in human trafficking and the abduction of women.

"These beasts abduct young girls, then train them into slavery, and then sell them to wealthy families and brothels."

Xiao Yan didn't raise his eyes. Zhao Feirong had no relevant memories. She only knew that this matter existed, but she didn't know anything about the strongholds or their operation.

But without her as the Holy Maiden, the people of Baiyun Manor would not be able to disappear.

Xiao Yan had no intention of letting any of them go. If he didn't encounter them, so be it; but if he did, he would kill them one by one.

Even if killing those pigs and dogs didn't yield experience or gold coins, Xiao Yan could still use it as proof of his combat strength.

It still needs to fit the art style of the Yangshen world to some extent; just kill and that's it!

"Come on, Brother Hong, I'll take you on a big mission." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, put one hand on Hong Yi's shoulder, and saw that the other party did not refuse, but instead began to explain the follow-up matters to his subordinates. Xiao Yan was even happier.

After Hong Yi finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately snapped his fingers, and in an instant, a burst of fire enveloped the two of them, and their figures disappeared from the spot.

"Is this the power of a Ghost Immortal? Something's not right." Chi Zhuiyang was dumbfounded. He had some experience, but this method was beyond what a Ghost Immortal could do. The supposedly Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal used magic to envelop his physical body, yet he didn't fly much faster than a mosquito.

It seems like they even have spatial abilities!

Baiyun Mountain Villa.

Baiyun Manor Owner Liu Baiyun frowned deeply. Zhao Feirong was gone and would never return, and he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Suddenly, two figures appeared side by side in the sky.

"Hahaha, Brother Hong, haven't you always wanted to see my skills?" Xiao Yan laughed loudly, ignoring the people below who were attracted by his voice. He stood proudly in the sky, and as he spoke, his aura surged.

"—The methods Brother Xiao used to bring me here are already beyond my comprehension." Hong Yi touched his nose, shook his head and smiled wryly, but still nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

"Brother Xiao, you are a born hero, a peerless figure of your time. Please try to interpret this for me."
