Chapter 1034: Entering the Jade Pool
The hall was a mess of cups and dishes, everyone drinking late into the night, all collapsing drunk by the tables. It wasn’t until the sun was high in the sky the next day that they woke up one by one, still bleary-eyed.
“What a blast, it’s been so long since I’ve drunk like this.” Dongfang Ye, just getting up, grabbed another wine jar and chugged a few gulps with a gurgling sound.
In the following days, they continued celebrating and drinking, only parting ways five days later, agreeing to meet again in the future.
“Looking forward to that battle!”
Everyone already knew that a perfectly fine Holy Land couldn’t possibly just split apart.
On that day, Ye Fan also departed. He had some matters to attend to, and soon he might not have the time.
Leaving Heavenly Village, the land was barren, with not a blade of grass growing for a million li. This was the Northern Domain, where a lack of vitality was perfectly normal.
A gentle breeze brushed his face as Ye Fan stepped out, standing atop a mountain peak, gazing at the withered landscape. It was bare and desolate, not a trace of life to be seen.
Passing by Divine City, Ye Fan sensed its bustling prosperity. Various blood energies mixed together, forming a majestic momentum, like a heavenly bronze furnace.
“Only I returned to Earth, and now I’ve successfully come back. I need to tell Liu Yiyi, Zhang Wenchang, and the others about their families’ situations.”
Ye Fan didn’t enter Divine City. Instead, he chose to continue crossing the void, heading straight for the Jade Pool Holy Land.
The Northern Domain was dry and lifeless, but not every place was like that. The Jade Pool was no exception—it was magnificent and beautiful.
This sacred gate wasn’t suspended in midair but sat on the ground. Ye Fan arrived there that very day.
The sacred mountains were towering, the elegant peaks ethereal, as if stepping into the Immortal Domain. Divine springs flowed from rocky cliffs, spiritual herbs grew along the precipices, and auspicious beasts lurked in the mountains. There was both immortal qi and stunning scenery, splendid and varied.
“A renowned divine land in the Eastern Wasteland!” Ye Fan murmured to himself. After so many years, he stood once again outside the mountain gate of this place.
“Swish”
A flash of green light, and a void gate opened in the distance. Several members of the Ancient Clan walked out and landed on the ground. They glanced at Ye Fan with surprise but didn’t pay much attention. No one could see through Ye Fan’s “Heaven-Shifting Earth-Transforming” technique now.
“The leader is a Dao Cutter!” Ye Fan showed a strange expression. Why would powerful figures from the Ancient Clan come to the Jade Pool Holy Land? In an era when Saints didn’t emerge, Dao Cutters were the ultimate... “What?” Ye Fan feigned ignorance.
“I want to say you’re Ye Fan. I happened to see Yiyi earlier. She was emotional, her eyes red and swollen. Though she tried to hide it, she couldn’t fool me. Over the years, her only heartache has been wanting to return to the other shore of the starry sky. Who else but you, coming back and bringing her exciting news, could cause that?”
Ye Fan spread his hands, indicating he couldn’t understand, and walked forward with a grin. “I’ve long admired the Holy Maiden. Perhaps we truly have a connection, so we feel a mutual fondness, as if we’ve met before.”
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi smoothed her hair, her fair forehead shimmering with inner divine light, her lively eyes sparkling with wisdom. “There’s no need to hide from me. To be honest, I’ve also learned some Source Arts. You must be using the Heaven-Shifting Earth-Transforming technique.”
“Alright, since the Holy Maiden believes I am, then I am. As Ye Fan, I invite the fairy to enjoy the moonlight together and discuss some life aspirations. How about it?”
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi’s red lips were glossy, her pure and stunning beauty tinged with a hint of allure. Her figure was lithe and graceful, her gaze confident. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
