In the world of "Covering the Sky," Ye Fan repeatedly invited me to come out of seclusion.

After leaving the Yao Guang Holy Land, Hua Yunfei headed alone to the Tai Xuan Sect.

Wei Yi had already left and returned to the stone archway in the divine city to continue guarding his dilapidated garden.

After leaving the domain gate, Hua Yunfei did not want to cause a commotion within the Tai Xuan Sect, so he concealed his whereabouts.

During this period, the deeds of the ruthless lineage of Yao Guang Holy Land and Hua Yunfei spread throughout the world and became known to all.

Hua Yunfei, disguised as a demonic fetus, staged a powerful comeback, leading a terrifyingly strong individual to storm the Yao Guang Holy Land and uproot the ruthless lineage that had been parasitizing the Holy Land.

Their popularity was unparalleled for a time.

Upon entering the Tai Xuan Sect, Hua Yunfei first went to Zhuofeng Peak.

Here he only met Li Ruoyu, and after some questioning, he learned that the God King and Fairy Caiyun had left a month ago.

"King Jiang said he had gained some insights here and went on to walk his own path."

Li Ruoyu informed Hua Yunfei.

"Your path will not be easy..." Li Ruoyu looked as ordinary as ever, his cloudy eyes looking at Hua Yunfei with a meaningful expression.

Li Ruoyu had naturally heard about his deeds.

"Have you ever considered breaking away from the path of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in the future?"

The old man continued to ask, as he was Hua Yunfei's legitimate senior in the sect and did not want to see him embark on a path of no return.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Li. Yunfei knows what he wants..."

Hua Yunfei said solemnly that he knew Li Ruoyu meant well, after all, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was infamous, and those who cultivated the art were destined to be enemies of the world.

But he has his own ideas and his own path to follow, and he won't change them easily.

Li Ruoyu nodded and said nothing more.

After leaving Zhuofeng, Hua Yunfei secretly returned to Xingfeng, met with his grandfather, the master of Xingfeng, and briefly recounted his experiences over the past few days.

He did not linger at the Tai Xuan Sect any longer, after all, Hua Yunfei was now labeled as the inheritor of a ruthless person, and his staying would be detrimental to the Tai Xuan Sect.

The Northern Region, the Azure Dragon King's Small World.

Hua Yunfei is back.

He came here to find Yan Ruyu.

Rippling blue waves and dotted with green mist, this is a vast, emerald-green lake, with a small island in the center appearing and disappearing in the water mist.

Hua Yunfei didn't want to alert anyone, so he concealed himself and arrived at the island.

This is Yan Ruyu's residence.

"Who?"

A clear, cold voice rang out, and at the same time, a figure descended from the sky like a fairy, with a flawless face, a graceful figure, and not a single imperfection in her body.

Hua Yunfei was surprised that Yan Ruyu's spiritual sense was so sharp that she discovered him as soon as he arrived on the island.

"It's you..." Yan Ruyu was stunned when she saw the familiar figure in front of her, and then she showed a bright smile. For a moment, even the sun seemed to dim a little.

She smiled slightly, her voice melodious and pleasant, and said, "If you're coming to see me, you should come openly and honestly. Why do you have to sneak around like a thief?"

"There's nothing I can do. I'm like a rat crossing the street now, everyone wants to kill me," Hua Yunfei said, feigning a pitiful expression.

"So you've come here seeking my protection?" Yan Ruyu glanced at him sideways, adopting a princess-like demeanor and feigning aloofness.

"Indeed, I have heard that Your Highness is still lacking a partner, so I have come here specifically to help you resolve this problem."

"Pah... Shameless..."

When they met again, the two did not become estranged; on the contrary, they became even closer.

After a few teasing words, Yan Ruyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She then said seriously, "Speak, what do you want from me?"

Hua Yunfei also became serious, and he directly stated his purpose: "I want to exchange some of the essence blood left behind by the Azure Emperor from you."

"Do you need to use it for cultivation?" Yan Ruyu asked calmly, as if she had been prepared for this.

After all, Hua Yunfei had said a few months ago that he needed something from her.

"I suppose so!" Hua Yunfei couldn't explain the uses of the Azure Emperor's essence blood too clearly.

"I can exchange some divine items for you, I guarantee you won't lose out," Hua Yunfei said earnestly. After all, Yan Ruyu was a good partner, so he naturally had to treat her with sincerity.

"How much do you need?" Yan Ruyu asked directly, not caring about how Hua Yunfei was going to exchange with her.

Hua Yunfei's heart stirred slightly upon seeing this; it seemed that Yan Ruyu trusted him quite a bit.

In the end, he successfully obtained the Demon Emperor's essence blood he wanted.

Since Yan Ruyu was so generous, Hua Yunfei naturally couldn't be stingy. He selected several exceptionally precious items from his own collection and gave them to Yan Ruyu.

"Where did you get so many treasures?" Yan Ruyu was shocked as she looked at the Medicine King, Phoenix Blood, and other items in her hands. These were things that would drive even a saint crazy.

"You've forgotten, I looted a sacred site!"

Hua Yunfei said proudly.

"A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grass. The ancients were right!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed.

Hua Yunfei wholeheartedly agreed with this.

After doing all this, Hua Yunfei bid farewell to Yan Ruyu.

The latter expressed some dissatisfaction: "So rushed?"

Hua Yunfei sighed, "Time waits for no one. If we're too late, the phoenix we've got will fly away!"

Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes, waved her hand, and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and catch your phoenix!"

Yan Ruyu didn't believe it, and Hua Yunfei was helpless.

After that, he bid farewell to the demon princess and left this small world.

If we were to discuss which place in the Northern Region is the most famous, without a doubt, it would be the Primordial Ancient Mine.

This ancient mine has an astonishing history; it was already a forbidden zone for life during the chaotic ancient period.

The reason this place has been cherished by generations of supreme beings is because of a rare treasure nurtured by this ancient mine: the Primordial Life Stone.

The Primordial Life Stone is incredibly precious; it can even be used by emperors to slow down their aging and preserve their vitality.

Therefore, the number of supreme beings in this ancient mine has always remained high. For countless millennia, this place has been the most terrifying place in the entire universe, without exception.

That was a real nest of supreme beings!

Hua Yunfei estimated that at this time, the Primordial Ancient Mine could almost single-handedly take on the other five major forbidden zones of life in the Big Dipper.

Except for the ancient forbidden land.

At this moment, Hua Yunfei arrived, thousands of miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine.

Logically, there should be few living beings near the restricted area, but there happens to be a city here.

This city is called Source City. It was built by cultivators from the source mining area on the outskirts of the Primordial Ancient Mine. Almost all the people who frequent this city are disciples of various major forces.

Yuancheng was Hua Yunfei's destination this time.

He obtained the Demon Emperor's essence blood from Yan Ruyu, intending to use it to exchange for the Heavenly Emperor's son.

For many years, the Yaochi Holy Land has been peaceful and undisturbed by the world. If he wants to obtain the Heavenly Emperor's son, exchanging him openly and honorably is the best option.

What else? Just rob it? You might not even win.

Harmony brings wealth, so let's all be harmonious.

Since we're going to exchange things, we should naturally cater to each other's preferences.

In the sacred land of Yaochi, there is a nine-aperture spiritual stone figure, and the female holy spirit inside is not far from the state of perfect enlightenment.

Yaochi is searching far and wide for special blood to nourish the Nine-Aperture Stone Man. Hua Yunfei doesn't believe that the old fairies of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West can remain calm in the face of the essence blood of a demon emperor.

Since Hua Yunfei was determined to make money through peaceful means, he needed to find a suitable partner.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi would be a good choice. They are of similar age and cultivation level, so they would definitely have a lot in common.

The key point is that the other party has a high status in the Yaochi Holy Land and can speak to people.

He learned that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had arrived in Yuancheng recently to transport a batch of important stone materials.

So Hua Yunfei quickly arrived at this place.
