Shrouding the Heavens: Simultaneous Transmigration, Heavenly Emperor's Stern Father

"Father……"

Ye Fan's eyes were a little red.

Ye Chen finally raised his head, glanced at his son, and maintained his calm and collected expression, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental. It's not your fault."

This old bastard has probably been watching you every second. Seeing that you're about to break through to the Life Spring, he's worried you might fall into a trap, so he couldn't wait to make his move.

Ye Chen stood up, walked to the medicine cabinets, and took out one rare medicinal herb after another.

"That old man is quite the idea genius. He actually thought he could refine a human pill and prolong his life this way. But he might as well use all the assets he's accumulated."

"It just so happens that your current cultivation level is stuck at the peak of the Bitter Sea, only one step away from the Spring of Life..."

Ye Fan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Father, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"That's right."

Ye Chen turned around, holding more than a dozen rare spiritual herbs that shimmered with spiritual light in his hands. The smile on his face seemed particularly dangerous to Ye Fan.

"Your father intends to follow the example of Lao Tzu and refine you."

Ye Fan's eye began to twitch.

"Did Laozi refine Sun Wukong?"

"Yes, that's the one."

Ye Chen smiled.

"father!"

Ye Fan's voice even split into two!

"Sun Wukong is a stone monkey! A stone monkey born of nature! I am a human! A mortal human! How can they be the same?"

Hagivan, you rascal, you're even calling me "Dad" in an attempt to awaken your fatherly love?

Ye Chen chuckled, walked to the medicine cauldron, glanced down at the boiling medicinal liquid inside, and frowned.

He carried over several large porcelain jars, poured the fresh herbal extract back into the cauldron, and casually replied as he poured, "Who said you were human?"

Ye Fan: "..."

"You have the Ancient Sacred Body..." Ye Chen didn't even look up, continuing to add spiritual herbs to the cauldron. "Is a Sacred Body considered human?"

Ye Fan opened his mouth, but for a moment he was speechless.

"Besides..."

Ye Chen tossed the last spiritual herb into the cauldron, clapped his hands, turned to look at Ye Fan, and his expression became much more serious.

"It is precisely because you are the Ancient Sacred Body that this path is unavoidable."

Cultivating a sacred body is a hundred times more difficult than cultivating a mortal body. Even with a massive amount of resources, it is impossible to know when one will be able to enter the Spring of Life by following the steps of cultivation.

"We must use extraordinary means to unleash potential, and use extreme pressure to force out the instincts of the Holy Body."

He looked into Ye Fan's eyes, his tone unusually serious:

"You are an ancient holy body, a man with the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor. I believe you can absolutely undergo a complete transformation."

Ye Fan fell silent.

His father rarely praised him.

More often than not, his father would give him light reminders and casual advice, as if he didn't care about anything.

But at this moment, Ye Fan saw an unwavering trust in his father's eyes...

It's not encouragement, not expectation, but more like stating a fact that has already happened.

"I……"

Ye Fan swallowed hard, glanced at the steaming bronze medicine cauldron, and still felt a little apprehensive.

"Should I train too?"

"want."

"Are you sure you won't die?"

"die?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Your father went to so much trouble to find you, do you think I wanted you dead? Go inside."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen grabbed Ye Fan by the back of his collar and swiftly threw him into the medicine cauldron.

"Mom, save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the lid of the cauldron slammed shut.

Ye Fan sank into the scalding medicinal liquid, the warm spiritual liquid overflowing his mouth and nose, and a life essence so rich it was almost solidified surged in from all directions.

It penetrates into the limbs and bones through the pores.

"Hurry up and cultivate. You don't want to go back to Earth, and your cultivation level isn't even as high as your mother's, is it?"

Ye Chen's voice came from outside the cauldron, tinged with amusement.

"Cultivate diligently. Your father will protect you outside. You can emerge whenever you break through to the Life Spring."

Ok? !

It's a little hot, but bearable. Seems okay?

As Ye Fan soaked in the medicinal liquid, feeling the immense medicinal power slowly released by those rare spiritual herbs under the stimulation of the fire element, his heart gradually calmed down.

Although my father was sharp-tongued, he would never joke about his life.

If Father says it can be done, then it definitely can be done!

"Then I'll give it a try."

He muttered something to himself, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Daoist scriptures and profound techniques. The emerald green medicinal liquid inside the cauldron began to slowly rotate, forming a faint vortex.

The center of the vortex was precisely where Ye Fan's dantian was located.

"Come forth, my Holy Body!"

Ye Chen sat cross-legged beside the cauldron and placed his palm on the bronze cauldron.

A wisp of jet-black divine power surged from his palm, spreading along the Dao patterns on the cauldron and slowly seeping in.

Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

The core principle of this Emperor's Scripture, created by the Ruthless Great Emperor, is to devour the origins of all spirits to strengthen oneself.

But few people know that devouring is not the whole of demonic arts... it has another side, which is transformation.

It neutralizes the medicinal effects, transforming them into the essence; it dissolves impurities, transforming them into the quintessence; it neutralizes the violent energy, transforming it into gentle, nourishing moisture.

During his year in the Yao Guang Holy Land, Ye Chen had already thoroughly comprehended the Dao Palace chapter of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

His lung deity cultivates autonomously, constantly deducing the profound meaning of scriptures.

In his hands, this demonic art was no longer just a tool for devouring, but an all-powerful divine art that could be used at will.

Rumble!

Ye Chen intervened in the medicine cauldron with his own devouring power.

Precisely control the speed and concentration of medicinal power released by each herb.

This makes the potent medicinal properties mild and controllable, drastically compressing the process that originally required seven days and seven nights of slow refining, without bearing the slightest risk of adverse effects from the medicinal effects.

What is the price?

The price will be very painful!

"Aaaaaah!"

"Dad, I can't take it anymore!"

"Turn down your temper, please!"

Ye Fan felt as if his whole body was on fire.

It truly felt like being torn to pieces.

"Ye Zi, is she dead?"

Ye Fan's weak voice came from the furnace:

"He's not dead yet... his eyes just hurt a little."

Ye Chen laughed and said, "That's a good thing! It means you're about to develop the Fiery Eyes of Truth. You've even experienced the life of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. That's amazing!"

"what!"

Ye Fan's loud shout came from inside the furnace!

"Father, what's happening? The temperature in the stove is getting higher and higher, I'm going blind!"

"My child, only by enduring hardship can one rise above others. Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are first tested with trials and tribulations..."

I'll take responsibility for Ye Fan's suffering!

As for the consequences, only God knows.

"Back then, the Great Sage was able to forge Fiery Eyes in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, so naturally your Sacred Body can be forged as well. A good Sacred Body is no less than that of the Stone Monkey!"

Ye Fan could no longer hear what was said after that.

When the pain reached its limit, he felt as if he were soaking in a warm spring of life, and the powerful medicinal force transformed into golden specks of light, like a sea of ​​stars pouring in.

It flowed into every inch of his flesh and blood.

His sea of ​​suffering had already been opened up many times in the cauldron, with the central area gushing like a spring, filled with clouds and mist, just one step away from the spring of life.

Now, under the impact of the torrent of medicinal power formed by these thirteen rare medicinal herbs, that thin membrane began to tremble violently.

The golden sea of ​​suffering surged with towering waves!

Thunder and lightning intertwined above the sea, and twenty-seven divine runes, like chains, stretched across the sky, cracking one by one as the Bitter Sea continued to expand!

One by one, they coalesced anew!

Each collapse and rebirth makes it stronger and more brilliant.

"Hmm? This is...?"

Ye Fan was startled!
