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

"Father, she..."

"Her name is Xiao Nannan, and she'll be your little sister from now on."

Ye Chen's tone left no room for argument.

Ye Fan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after seeing his father's gaze, he wisely shut his mouth.

Ye Fan followed behind his father, watching the little girl swinging her legs on Ye Chen's shoulder. He felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The father's spiritual sense was far stronger than others of the same level; even he could detect unusual things, so it was impossible for the father to ignore them.

Unless, of course, the father believes that this "abnormality" is not abnormal at all.

The thought flashed through Ye Fan's mind, but he didn't dwell on it any further.

He had grown accustomed to the deeper meaning behind his father's actions...

This is the most important thing he has learned over the past two decades.

Outside the desolate and forbidden land, the mountains stretch endlessly.

Before Ye Chen and his companions even stepped into the forbidden area, they could see a dazzling glow in the sky from afar...

Dozens of divine rainbows pierced the sky, and the cries of phoenixes—a chariot pulled by a qilin, a road cleared by a dragon, and a chariot facing the sun with nine phoenixes—resonated throughout the heavens.

The powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land, the Ji family, and the Jiang family have already arrived, forming a formidable force.

Golden rocs, blotting out the sky, circled in the clouds, each radiating a terrifying pressure comparable to the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage.

The three families were clearly determined to obtain the sacred fruit and divine spring.

The little girl clung to Ye Chen's back, her hands gripping his collar, her big eyes reflecting the divine light of the sky, yet showing no fear whatsoever.

Instead, he stared at the strange birds with curiosity for a long time.

"Uncle, those big birds are so beautiful."

"Doesn't it look delicious?"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

They ignored the commotion in the sky.

Without emitting any aura, he simply led the little girl along a secluded mountain path, silently bypassing the camp of the three allied forces.

He had no intention of dealing with those holy families, nor did he want to remind them of anything.

Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices.

This is an ironclad rule in the world of cultivation.

He had even less affection for the people of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Ye Chen and his two companions prepared to enter the desolate forbidden land from another direction.

"Li Xiaoman, Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, Wang Ziwen, Zhang Ziling, Liu Yiyi..."

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. He actually saw a group of classmates in the procession of the Holy Land Family entering the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

What's going on?

Ye Fan went to find out some information.

"Since the emergence of the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb, it has devoured the lives of countless cultivators. The deep pool has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and even several great figures have perished."

"It is said that the Desolate Tower is located in the Yin Tomb. Various holy lands and ancient families are determined to obtain it, and even mysterious figures from the Central Plains have come to the Eastern Wilderness."

"The Forbidden Land of the Ancient Wilderness has once again become the focus of the Eastern Wilderness. In order to prolong the life of an important figure, the Yao Guang Holy Land, the Jiang family, and the Ji family have joined forces to prepare to climb the Holy Mountain to collect sacred medicine."

Ye Fan recounted the information he had gathered.

Ye Chen nodded; this was exactly what he had expected.

However, no matter how much the holy land families prepare, it's useless. No matter how many go, they will all die. Without Ye Fan, there is no possibility of obtaining the holy fruit.

Ye Fan looked surprised and said:

"Oh, by the way, Father, I encountered something strange outside the forbidden area!"

"What is it?"

"An old woman and a madman who has lived for six thousand years, he muttered insanely, 'Endless withered bones, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it's coming again.'"

Ye Fan was astonished. Six thousand years of immortality? What does that even mean? China only has a history of five thousand years!

And that old woman, who looked old and unremarkable, actually recognized the old madman!

Perhaps they were also important figures of the same era!

How big does this person have to be to be considered big?

It seems even the Holy Lord wouldn't live for six thousand years!

To Ye Fan's surprise, his father's reaction was indifferent, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Let's go, it's time for us to enter the ancient forbidden land."

The three of them entered the desolate forbidden land from another direction.

The curse power surrounding the forbidden area was still manageable for the father and son, who had consumed the sacred fruit.

To Ye Fan's alarm, the little girl showed no reaction to these curses, as if those strange powers that even made the Holy Lord pale at the slightest thing did not exist!

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

Who exactly is this little girl?

The strange beasts on the outskirts of the desolate forbidden land had already scattered and fled in terror at the sight of the three allied forces.

The three of them traveled without any obstacles and soon ventured deep into the heart of the forbidden area.

The deeper you go, the stronger the eerie power in the air becomes.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, old vines coil around them, and scattered on the ground are bones of unknown age, some weathered into powder, others still retaining their original appearance...

Some knelt, some lay down, some roared to the sky, as if they had experienced the ultimate fear before death.

Ye Fan's face grew paler and paler. He felt that his divine power source was being suppressed by an invisible force, and the gurgling flow of his life spring slowed down considerably.

But just as his father had predicted.

His sacred body has a natural resistance to this curse. Although he suffers, he does not experience the loss of vitality and rapid aging that ordinary cultivators do.

But Ye Fan discovered that the little girl was completely unaffected.

She held Ye Chen's hand, looking around curiously, and occasionally squatting down to pick a wildflower.

It was as if this forbidden zone of life, which made the entire Eastern Wilderness tremble with fear, was just an ordinary mountain forest in her eyes.

Ye Chen saw it all and understood.

She is the Dao Fruit of a ruthless person, and this forbidden area is her territory.

The curses and slaves in the desolate forbidden land exist because of ruthless people, so how could they possibly harm her?

Several hours later.

The core area of ​​the forbidden zone.

Ye Chen emerged from behind a rocky mountain, his gaze passing over layers of ancient trees, looking towards the summit of the sacred mountain opposite.

The little girl sat quietly on his shoulders, neither crying nor fussing, but her clear, big eyes were always gazing towards the mountaintop, as if she were watching something.

Behind him, Ye Fan's face was pale, but his eyes remained sharp.

Further away, the allied forces of the three holy families were completely silent.

Broken bronze chariots lay scattered on the mountain road, broken banners fluttered helplessly in the wind, and bloodstains stained half of the cliff.

Those powerful figures who rode on qilin and dragons, those renowned elders on whom high hopes were placed, along with their pride and ambition, were forever left in this forbidden zone.

"The old madman's words have all come true..."

Ye Fan was shocked.

"Of course, no one understands the dangers of the Forbidden Wasteland better than the old madman."

Ye Chen spoke calmly:

"Six thousand years ago, the Tianxuan Holy Land was at its peak, producing several saints and even quasi-emperors. They used imperial artifacts to invade the desolate ancient forbidden land and open the path to immortality."

As a result, after the battle, the entire clan was wiped out, with only a handful escaping, including the old madman.

Ye Fan was shocked!

Saint, Quasi-Emperor, Imperial Weapon—these terms are all incredibly eye-catching!

Yet, the entire Tianxuan Holy Land was wiped out. The Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was truly terrifying!

"Kid, you know quite a lot!"

Suddenly, a cold, eerie voice spoke:

"How did you manage to get here with your cultivation levels?"

Three aged figures appeared, their gazes icy.
