All Heavens: Simultaneously traversing the Primordial World and Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 121 Jiang Taixu Takes Charge at Stone Village, Prequel to the Lotus Lantern: Saving Yang Jian

Ye Fan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as the Black Emperor's massive jaws snapped shut on his head.

Although it didn't cause Ye Fan any real harm, the insult was too great. Now, Ye Fan really had the urge to kill the Black Emperor.

Ye Fan raised his hand, and the Chaos Green Lotus was released from his palm, falling from the sky and smashing down towards the Black Emperor's head.

Upon discovering the Chaos Green Lotus, the dog jumped in alarm and ran away as fast as it could.

"Ye Fan, you heartless bastard! I only bit you once, and you actually used an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!"

Faced with the Black Emperor's insults, Ye Fan simply summoned a stream of water to wash his face.

"Who told you, you damn dog, to bite me?"

The Black Emperor has a white lotus inside him, so the Chaos Green Lotus definitely won't harm him; it's just a scare tactic.

However, Ye Fan was a little curious. This dog could actually recognize the Supreme Emperor Weapon. Just what was the dog's identity?

Black Emperor squatted to the side, his eyes also fixed on the Chaos Green Lotus.

If the Black Emperor hadn't once served by the side of a great emperor, he certainly wouldn't have been able to see what was so magical about this lotus flower.

However, after coming into contact with the Supreme Emperor Weapon, he became very familiar with its aura. This green lotus was definitely a Supreme Emperor Weapon, but he didn't know which emperor it belonged to.

Ye Fan washed his face thoroughly, then looked at Black King and felt that the dog in front of him seemed to have become even more special.

Previously, when facing the Black Emperor, Ye Fan could only feel pressure, but now, facing the Black Emperor, Ye Fan can feel danger.

If those pills are so effective, has the dog regained its strength?

But now that they're comrades, Ye Fan tidied himself up and said, "You damn dog, what are you planning to do now?"

The Black Emperor's eyes darted around, then he chuckled and said, "My current strength far surpasses yours, kid. Judging from your appearance, you seem to lack a teacher's guidance. How about this, you become my disciple, and I'll teach you how to cultivate and even impart ancient secrets to you?"

Seeing the black dog with ill intentions, Ye Fan didn't bother with it and casually summoned his immortal boat to leave.

Upon seeing this, the Black Emperor quickly pushed off with both legs, breaking through space and landing on the immortal ship.

His eyes were filled with even more curiosity about this celestial vessel.

This is a technology I've never seen before; it looks very interesting.

Ye Fan returned to Shizhai and immediately found Master Zhang.

After Black King landed, it attracted the attention of many children. After all, this big black dog looked very pettable, except for its ugly tail.

Unlike his treatment of Ye Fan, Black Emperor didn't bite these children without warning; instead, he showed some patience.

Ye Fan also noticed the Black Emperor's attitude towards the human cubs, and it seemed that the Black Emperor was on the side of the human race, which made him feel more at ease.

Ye Fan took out the Origin Book and gave it to Master Zhang. Master Zhang's eyes also showed excitement. This was a treasure left by his ancestors. He reached out and stroked the Origin Book.

He remarked with great emotion, "You really brought it out."

"I also brought out the remains of my ancestors."

Ye Fan took out the Purple Gold Gourd and released the skeleton. The skeleton was wearing clothes similar to the stone garment that Master Zhang had taken out.

Upon seeing this scene, Master Zhang's knees buckled, and he knelt before the skeleton.

"Descendants of the Zhang family pay respects to their ancestors!"

Master Zhang's voice choked with emotion. The remains of his ancestor had finally been found, and his ancestor's treasures had been retrieved.

He looked up at Ye Fan. In the past, he had actually used Ye Fan with a sense of exploitation, but now that Ye Fan had done so much for him, Master Zhang had completely regarded Ye Fan as one of his own.

Master Zhang raised the Origin Heaven Book and said, "Ye Fan, from now on it is yours, and you should inherit the legacy of the Origin Heaven Book."

However, Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Fifth Master Zhang, I don't need this Origin Book. I have already memorized all the words on it."

"You yourself should inherit the lineage of Master Yuan."

Master Zhang smiled wryly and said, "I have no talent for cultivation, how can I learn the Origin Heaven Scripture?"

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Speaking of this, I plan to take over the entire Stone Village and make it a part of my Heavenly Court. What do you think, Master Zhang?"

"I will teach you a set of cultivation techniques that will allow you to easily embark on the path of cultivation."

Ye Fan had long had his eye on this stone village. Its location was unique, and the people there were very simple and honest, which suited Ye Fan's tastes perfectly. He thought it would be better to bring it into the Heavenly Court.

As for cultivation, it's actually even simpler. Just follow the steps of the Creation Scripture and you'll easily break through to the other shore.

However, reaching the Dao Palace from the other side requires a large amount of resources, which the Creation Scripture cannot compensate for.

Master Zhang was naturally very interested, but he couldn't make the decision for everyone by himself, so he immediately ran out and gathered everyone together.

After this news was shared with everyone, no one present objected.

Because Ye Fan avenged them when he went out, his righteous act was recognized by everyone.

Moreover, in this world, these weaklings can only depend on the strong.

Most powerful people don't even look down on them, but now there is a powerful person willing to protect them.

They are even willing to teach them how to cultivate themselves. Who could refuse such a good thing?

"We are willing to join the Heavenly Court!"

"Mr. Ye, what is the purpose of this Heavenly Court?"

"Should we help the Heavenly Court mine minerals?"

Seeing the group of people arguing amongst themselves, Ye Fan smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The Heavenly Court doesn't need you to help with mining. The Heavenly Court just needs you to gather together and fight for the same cause."

Of course, one must also abide by the rules set by the Heavenly Court, refraining from bullying the weak or wantonly harming life.

The people of Shizhai are like the eyes I left behind; for the time being, I don't need them to do anything.

Of course, as a force within the Heavenly Court, it must also maintain basic order and loyalty.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but scratch their heads. They felt that what Ye Fan was talking about was exactly what they were doing.

It seems like nothing needs to be changed; all that's required is to remain loyal to the Heavenly Court.

So a group of people excitedly waited for Professor Ye Fan and the others to begin their cultivation.

However, Ye Fan did not rush to teach them. Instead, he casually opened a spatial rift, from which walked a tall, thin old man with hair reaching the ground.

To be honest, many people were startled when they first saw this gaunt old man. He looked like he had no flesh and skin, with his skin sticking to his bones.

Uncle Zhang quickly brought over a stool and made the old man sit down, afraid that he might accidentally fall and break his bones.

The moment Black King saw the old man, his tail stood straight and he instinctively took a step back.

Ye Fan appeared behind Black Emperor and grabbed the dog's head, saying, "What, Black Emperor, you know him?"

Black King opened his dog mouth wide and said, "Let go. Do you really think I can't see that this guy is no ordinary person?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. This person will need to recuperate here for a while. Anyway, you and I know that."

The God King Jiang Taixu, after thousands of years, finally saw people again, and he was filled with emotion.

After a brief introduction, everyone called him Grandpa Jiang. He was so thin because he was sick, but he would gradually recover.

After learning about this situation, some children went back home and brought out their treasured dried meat, which made Jiang Taixu both amused and exasperated.

Next, Ye Fan had everyone follow him and perform a set of boxing techniques.

This set of boxing techniques looks ordinary, but everyone who finishes it feels warm all over.

"Practice this set of boxing techniques a maximum of twice a day. After a year, you will be able to enter the realm of the Sea of ​​Bitterness."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but their understanding of cultivation techniques was far too limited; some didn't even grasp the concept of the "Sea of ​​Bitterness."

Jiang Taixu watched this scene from afar, feeling deeply moved.

This Creation Scripture is truly miraculous; if I return to my clan, I must promote it.

However, Jiang Taixu only intends to promote the Wheel Sea Chapter, and ordinary people in the clan can also rely on the Creation Scripture to obtain a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.

This is actually the most outrageous aspect of the Creation Scripture that Jiang Taixu found most absurd: it greatly extends lifespan.

Ordinary people can obtain a lifespan similar to that of a god by relying on the Creation Scripture, while a god can have a lifespan that is at least five hundred years longer by relying on the Creation Scripture.

Upon reaching the Dao Palace Secret Realm, one can even utilize the unity of the five elements to live another life.

Anyone who practices this technique will have their lifespan more than doubled.

It's a pity there are no other cultivation methods in the secret realms, but these two are enough, especially the Dao Palace Secret Realm, which has been of great help to Jiang Taixu.

If his lifespan is about to end, he can use the secret techniques of the Dao Palace to live another life. In this new life, Jiang Taixu is confident that he can walk the same path again, regain his kingship, and even go further to become a saint.

As for Emperor Cheng, Jiang Taixu had no desire to pursue him.

The Ye Fan before them was also a prodigy, and the secrets he possessed, as well as the origin of the Creation Scripture, all lay within him.

He believed that Ye Fan would definitely be able to cultivate the entire Creation Scripture, and at that time, who in this world could become his opponent?

In the following time, Ye Fan taught everyone while also cultivating himself.

Black Emperor occasionally tried to ambush Ye Fan, and it seemed he wanted to knock Ye Fan unconscious so he could search for treasures in Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Even after being beaten by Ye Fan several times, the dog still wouldn't give up. Because of its thick skin, Ye Fan was completely helpless and could only avoid it.

After a week, Jiang Taixu recovered somewhat, and his previously withered body finally showed some flesh color.

Ye Fan planned to travel to Han Li's world to obtain some more restorative pills, but this time he didn't end up in Han Li's world. Moreover, during this trip, the Black Emperor crashed into him.

The man and the dog almost spun as they fell from the sky, finally crashing together onto a mountain.

Amidst the dust, Ye Fan rubbed his head, speechless, and said, "You damn dog, next time I travel through time, can you please not come and cause trouble?"

Black Emperor lay sprawled on the ground. He quickly rolled over, looking around in surprise, and asked, "Kid Ye, where have you gotten yourself?"

"You didn't even know where this place was, yet you still dared to follow us?"

Ye Fan said irritably, then stood up and looked around. He quickly noticed three people in front of him.

Ye Fan didn't know how to explain these three people, because one of them was wearing golden armor, had red hair, and exuded an aura as dazzling as the sun.

The other two were dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, a man and a woman. The man looked handsome, and the woman looked very beautiful.

The two of them were embracing, and at first glance they looked like a married couple, but Ye Fan felt that something was not quite right.

After Ye Fan released his divine sense, his eyes lit up.

Because inside the clothes of the man in that couple was a blue lotus seed!

The Lotus Master has been found, and now he knows what to do.

Ye Fan charged straight into the center of the three, with Black Emperor close behind.

The unknown warrior with sun-like markings and red hair said coldly, "Who are you? You're on a mission from Heaven, so step back!"

The Black Emperor raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Ye Fan with surprise, saying, "Hey, Emperor Ye, is this the Heavenly Court you've been talking about? So, this kid is your subordinate?"

Ye Fan stared wide-eyed. "You're from the Heavenly Court? The Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court? Then who are you?"

"I am the Great Golden Crow! Since you know of the Jade Emperor, then step back! I am acting on the Jade Emperor's decree to arrest the suspects Yang Chan and Yang Jian!"

The Great Golden Crow spoke in a serious tone. Ye Fan looked at the other party and then at the two people behind him.

A quick scan with divine sense revealed that the two individuals appeared to be in good physical condition, but a force could be clearly felt brewing on the man's forehead.

Good heavens, I've traveled to a story before the Investiture of the Gods, no, this should be the story of the Lotus Lantern.

There is no character named Yang Chan in the Investiture of the Gods, nor is there a Great Golden Crow.

Ye Fan is good at history. The story of Erlang Shen begins with him splitting Peach Mountain to save his mother.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a eunuch named Yang Jian. At that time, the story of Erlang Shen had already matured, so the story of Chenxiang rescuing his mother and defeating Yang Jian was developed.

History can only serve as a partial reference, but Ye Fan believed there must be a connection between them.

However, the era he traveled to was not Chenxiang's era, but Yang Chan's era.

This is interesting.

According to mythology, the Golden Crow is the sun. How could a sun walking on the earth be possible? It's a star.

However, even if he were to face a single star, Ye Fan would not be afraid. His supreme imperial weapon could sweep across an entire star field, so why would he be afraid of a single star?

However, the giant golden crow in front of him did not give Ye Fan a strong feeling, at least not the kind of deadly threat that he would feel when facing a Sendai expert.

Is the Golden Crow's power transforming into a dragon?

Although he was thinking, Ye Fan did not back down, which made the Great Golden Crow frown.

He looked at the two somewhat timid figures in the distance, and what had initially been a suspicion now became even more certain.

Yang Chan and Yang Jian are them!

The Great Golden Crow made its move, intending to strike first, but the next moment it let out a miserable scream.

Black Emperor bit down on the arm of the Great Golden Crow, the arm with the sun wheel shield.

"Where did this dead dog come from? Let go of it!"

The Great Golden Crow kept swinging its arms, the excruciating pain fueling its rage.

At the same time, the Great Golden Crow's body was also engulfed in raging flames, but these flames did not cause the Black Emperor's fur to curl at all.

Black Emperor remained relentless, scoffing, "Release your weapon and I'll let you go!"

"You damned beast!"

"You feathered chicken!"

The two exchanged a few words, and then both became enraged.

The Golden Crow slammed its fist into the Black Emperor's head, but the Black Emperor's head was harder than its Golden Crow shield. The blow only made the Golden Crow's right hand ache, and it did nothing to the Black Emperor.

Black King bit down harder, and even though it was covered by armor, its entire arm felt like it was about to break. The intense pain made Golden Crow release its grip, and the shield it was holding immediately fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Black King immediately released its grip, then braced its front paws on the ground and delivered a mule-like kick with its two hind paws.

The powerful dog paws slammed into the armor on the Golden Crow's chest, sending him flying. Judging by the looks of it, he's probably going to fly to the ends of the earth.

Black King looked at the sun shield in front of him with delight, then opened his mouth and swallowed the shield whole.

This is a great thing! It can withstand such high temperatures and also acts as a shield. Plus, the curved surface can be used as a pot, which will be so convenient for grilling.

Watching the giant golden crow fly away, Ye Fan felt he didn't need to intervene. He turned to the man and woman and said, "You two are Yang Chan and Yang Jian, right?"

The young man looked at Ye Fan and knelt down, saying, "Please, sir, accept us as your disciples!"

The woman hurriedly knelt down as well, pleading, "Yang Chan, please accept this, Master!"

Ye Fan is a bit too fierce. What's going on? Am I going to become the master of the Third Holy Mother and Erlang Shen?

Ye Fan quickly stepped forward to help the two up, saying, "Don't panic, you two. Can you tell me what happened? How are your parents?"

Yang Chan bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

Although Yang Jian also wore a sorrowful expression, he explained what had happened at home one by one.

Because their mother violated the heavenly laws, their father and elder brother died tragically, and only the two of them were lucky enough to survive.

Although I was puzzled as to why these two people had survived, the plot development was pretty much as I had expected.

"Didn't you see Master Yuding?"

Both of them shook their heads, not knowing who Yu Ding was.

Ye Fan scratched his head helplessly and said, "I'm not strong enough right now, so I can't lead you guys to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

But you can rest assured for now, your father and eldest brother should still be alive, or rather, not quite dead.

Excitement gleamed in their eyes, and Yang Jian quickly said, "Master, are you saying we still have a chance to rescue Father and Elder Brother?"

Looking at Yang Jian's expectant gaze, Ye Fan shook his head and said, "To be more precise, it will probably be some time before they are tortured to death."

Only their bodies are destroyed; their souls will be taken to the underworld to suffer endless torment. It's unknown how long this torment will last, or whether they will be reincarnated or simply vanish.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan nearly fainted. Yang Jian immediately grabbed Ye Fan's legs and cried, "Master, please save my elder brother and father!"

The Black Emperor was very puzzled: "Ye Fan, what kind of world is this?"

Is the underworld you're talking about the one I remember?

"Is there a hell above the Big Dipper? A hell that controls reincarnation?"

"So the underworld also controls reincarnation?"

The man and the dog exchanged a glance and immediately realized that they were definitely not talking about the same thing.

Ye Fan explained in detail the operating mechanism of this world.

After a person dies, they become a ghost. The ghost goes to the underworld, where it is judged based on the merits of their life. It will decide whether they will be reborn as an animal or a human again.

Of course, above the underworld is the Heavenly Court, which can directly change the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld.

"In other words, the father and elder brother of these two people offended the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court not only wants them to die, but also wants their souls to suffer endless torment before they die."

What did they do to offend the Heavenly Court?

Not only was the Black Emperor puzzled, but Yang Jian and Yang Chan were also filled with doubt.

Ye Fan spread his hands and said, "Because the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the rulers of Heaven, do not allow immortals to fall in love. Anyone who dares to fall in love will be punished."

Their mother was to be sealed away, and their children were to be killed outright.

Numerous question marks appeared on Black Emperor's dog head.

"What kind of crappy heavenly court is this? Is this the kind of heavenly court you've set up?"

"It's just a similar name. What I want to create is a heavenly court where immortals gather, not a heavenly court where even romance is impossible."

Yang Jian quickly said, "Master, we support you becoming the ruler of Heaven!"

Looking at the two of them, Ye Fan felt even more helpless.

"Eat this first."

Ye Fan reached directly into Yang Jian's pocket and pulled out the jade lotus seed. Yang Jian didn't know what it was; he had picked it up earlier.

A dark shadow suddenly rushed out, trying to swallow the green lotus seed whole.

However, the jade lotus seed only emitted a faint light, which directly sent the Black Emperor flying.

After rolling headfirst a few times, Black Emperor rubbed its head with its paw and asked, "What exactly is this lotus seed? How can it have such strong defensive capabilities?"

Ye Fan didn't bother replying to the Black Emperor and simply tossed the lotus seed into Yang Jian's mouth.

The lotus seeds melted in his mouth as soon as he ate them, leaving Yang Jian completely bewildered as to what he had just eaten.

"I will teach you two sets of exercises. Practice these exercises first."

As Ye Fan spoke, he took out two pieces of pure source and stuffed them into the hands of the two men, then began to practice his boxing on the spot.

Before they could react to anything else, the two immediately caught up with Ye Fan's pace.

The Azure Lotus can quickly open the Sea of ​​Bitterness; all it needs is enough energy. Ye Fan doesn't need to let them take their time.

"Black Emperor, keep an eye on things for me."

After uttering those words, Ye Fan vanished in a flash.

Black Emperor was speechless. He realized that Ye Fan had countless secrets, and he estimated that he had come into contact with the biggest one.

Ye Fan disappeared because he noticed someone spying on him from a short distance away. When Ye Fan appeared behind the two people, they were both startled.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Ye Fan discovered that they were actually two demon foxes.

Although they took human form, their soul essence remained unchanged.

"What are you two doing?"

Ye Fan wasn't the kind of person who would kill demons indiscriminately. Besides, these two demons didn't have any malevolent aura. He was simply curious about what these two foxes wanted to do.

The male fox stammered, unable to speak, while the female fox quickly said, "We're here to learn skills, so we won't be bullied anymore!"

"Oh, right! Please, Immortal Master, accept us as your disciples!"

The two foxes immediately bowed down. Ye Fan pondered why they were able to appear beside Yang Jian, especially in such an important plot point.

These two foxes might be useful, or even have some talent.

Although I don't understand the cultivation methods of this world, I'm sure I can learn some by spending some time on it.

Yang Jian's lotus seeds can also be given to them to guide them on the path of cultivation in the secret realm.

"I can accept you two as apprentices, but you must study academic subjects, including five years of college entrance exams and three years of mock exams."

"What is that?"

The two fox demons were filled with doubt.
