Chapter 147: Under the Spotlight
At this moment, only Ye Fan himself truly understood why he had withstood the Divine Body's assault—it was entirely the instinctive reaction of the Primordial Saint Body.
During the process of being suppressed, a peculiar energy overflowed from his Wheel Sea, forcefully resisting the "Sea Rising, Moon Ascending" divine phenomenon. Even he himself did not understand what kind of strange force that was.
Of course, the most fundamental reason was that the other party had suppressed his cultivation, keeping both of them at the same level. After all, Ji Haoyue was at his peak; if he had unleashed his full power, no matter how special Ye Fan's physique was, he would have undoubtedly died.
Both at the Wheel Sea realm, they ended in a draw. Ye Fan's heart tightened. The Eastern Wasteland Divine Body was indeed terrifying, forcing his Saint Body to treat it as a mortal enemy and instinctively resist. Little did he know, Ji Haoyue was even more shocked than he was, his mind still unsettled even now.
The moment he first saw Ye Fan, the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body had produced a strange reaction, as if encountering a destined rival, causing his blood to stir. He had to probe and find out.
"Brother Ye, your physique is truly extraordinary. I wonder what kind of constitution it is?" Ji Haoyue's voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp as lightning, staring straight at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan knew the trouble had come. He had to leave quickly and could not delay.
"Speaking of this, it's a long story. It might be related to a strange fruit I ate in my childhood, which caused some inexplicable changes. Some of the details are not something I can share with outsiders." Ye Fan knew trouble was brewing and had to leave as soon as possible without any delay.
Hua Yunfei smiled and said, "Let me play another tune to accompany everyone's drinking." He changed the subject, preventing the sharp-tongued woman Li Youyou from pressing further. On the grassy field, everyone drank and chatted cheerfully, knowing their limits and not asking too many questions. The sound of the zither lingered, like high mountains and flowing water, like a celestial melody from Guanghan Palace, intoxicating all who heard it.
One must admit, Hua Yunfei's skill was nearly akin to the Dao. Under his nimble fingers, the strings produced all kinds of wonderful sounds, seemingly painting a picturesque and poetic beautiful scene.
The notes clinked and chimed, like a clear spring deep in the mountains. Soft and gentle, like a fine stream beneath pine roots. Concentrating and listening quietly, a feeling of joy arose spontaneously, its rhythm rising and falling leisurely, like drifting clouds and flowing water.
Then, the zither music became ethereal, as if pulling down the curtain of night. Moonlight scattered down, heavenly gates appeared faintly, the Jade Pool came into view, fairies danced gracefully, light and airy, riding the wind and treading the waves, moving with the celestial breeze, their expressions moving, their charm flowing.
When the piece ended, everyone noticed that all the flower buds around the grassy field had fully bloomed, emitting waves of fragrance. The zither music contained a wondrous power, causing hundreds of flowers to bloom simultaneously. Everyone applauded and praised.
The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang was not far from Ye Fan, like a divine lotus in full bloom. Her skin was crystalline, her smile radiant, like thin clouds veiling the bright moon, like a gentle breeze brushing jade flowers, magnificent and colorful.
Her eyes were like water, and she transmitted her voice with a light laugh, "Brother Ye, there's no need to be wary. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to speak to me." Ye Fan's heart stirred, "Will others make things difficult for me?"
"Perhaps. After all, your physique seems quite special. Someone might want to invite you to 'visit' them, who knows?" The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang's teeth were like jade, red and lustrous. She glanced over lightly, extremely charming.
"I just want to cultivate in peace without being disturbed," Ye Fan transmitted nonchalantly.
"No problem. If any issues arise, I will handle them for you. I believe no one will easily make trouble." The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang extended an olive branch. Her appearance was beautiful, her bearing like an immortal, shining like a bright pearl, very alluring. Ye Fan instantly understood—she was recruiting him.
At that moment, Ji Ziyue's big eyes flickered, and she transmitted softly, "After this matter is settled, my brother wants to invite you to our Ji Family."
Relatively speaking, Ji Haoyue was more direct, explicitly stating that he wanted to invite Ye Fan to the Ji Family. He had too many questions; if he couldn't figure out Ye Fan's physique, his heart would not find peace.
Being favored by two such transcendent major powers would make anyone else overjoyed, but Ye Fan only felt a headache. He absolutely could not enter a Holy Land or an ancient aristocratic clan like this.
Otherwise, the Green Copper Block would definitely not be saved. More importantly, they clearly wanted to probe his physique, which was completely unexposable. If his Wheel Sea were probed, all his secrets would be lost.
The most important point was that Li Ruoyu had once warned him: the Primordial Saint Body must not be exposed to these great powers that had been passed down since the Primordial Era.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang chuckled and transmitted, "Brother Ye, would you like to take a walk with me later? I have some things to tell you."
At the same time, Ji Haoyue's eyes burst forth with two beams of divine radiance, personally transmitting to Ye Fan, "I want to invite you to the Ji Family as a guest."
Simultaneously, several more divine thoughts came, showing goodwill toward Ye Fan, wanting to talk further with him.
Ye Fan knew things had gone wrong. The situation was very unfavorable. He responded patiently, fobbing them off one by one, stalling for time.
"Ji Haoyue, you're a Divine Body. Why did you have to probe me? And now you've caused such trouble." Ye Fan muttered to himself. Little did he know that Ji Haoyue's Divine Body had been stirred and had no choice but to probe.
"Right now, I have to muddy the waters, make them unable to focus on me. I must create a sensational focal event and slip away in the chaos." Ye Fan thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Everyone, perhaps you don't know yet, but a major event that could shake the Eastern Wasteland is about to occur." "Is that so?" The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang's black hair danced lightly, her face like jade, her eyes sparkling, radiant and moving.
"I think everyone present should have heard of the Bronze Immortal Hall. It has appeared again now..." Ye Fan's words were shocking, refusing to let go without causing a stir.
The Bronze Immortal Hall held the opportunity to become an immortal, recorded in the historical texts of the Eastern Wasteland. Every time it appeared, it would shake the entire Eastern Wasteland, causing a huge uproar. Peerless experts would flock to it like moths to a flame. Wishing all readers a Merry Christmas. Peace, happiness, and joy.
