# Chapter 316: Spirit Immortal Eye
The blue-clad maiden was like a spirit under the moonlit night, her immortal bearing transcendent, as if she did not belong to the mortal world, embodying spiritual essence and beauty in one.
Clusters of immortal maple trees, verdant and dripping with green, seemed carved from jade, gently swaying with emerald light flowing. Countless white petals fluttered down, fragrant bursts intoxicating all who breathed them in.
"Vivi!" Ye Fan was very surprised. He had met an old acquaintance.
Vivi came from the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven. She was the one who had brought Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others out of the mountain forests outside the Ancient Forbidden Land.
She possessed a heaven-gifted bearing rarely seen in a millennium. The Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven did not want to hinder her cultivation and had sent her to the Yaoguang Holy Land.
Back then, when Ye Fan had crossed the void from the Southern Domain to the Northern Domain, he had sneaked into the Yaoguang Holy Land. Vivi seemed to have discovered him but did not expose him, and even intentionally offered a few words of guidance.
Ye Fan never expected to see her here. He waved his sleeve, instantly stowing the big black dog inside.
"Kid, what do you mean by that?" The big black dog wanted to bite him.
"I've run into an acquaintance. Behave yourself, so we don't slip up." Recently, they had been out looting bandits, and Ye Fan had used the Heaven-Shifting Earth-Transforming Art to conceal his true appearance. The only flaw was the big black dog.
"You know this woman, pure as crystal, beautiful as a spirit?" Tu Fei was surprised, then cried out strangely: "Beast, you beast! How do I find that you're entangled with so many women?"
"Stop your vulgar thoughts. This woman has shown me kindness. Before she became a Yaoguang disciple, she once saved me," Ye Fan said.
Though they were still far apart, Vivi's spiritual perception was extremely sharp. She turned her head to look back, and like pearls spitting forth rosy light, she made the entire maple forest brighten.
"How do I feel she recognized you?" Tu Fei showed a strange expression. He already knew that Ye Fan could use the Heaven-Shifting Earth-Transforming Art, so he found it very unexpected.
"Impossible. I've changed not only my appearance but also my aura to be completely different. How could she recognize me?" Ye Fan said.
But Vivi really did walk over, light and ethereal, her blue clothes dancing, crystalline petals accompanying her. She seemed like a goddess treading on waves.
"Can she really see through my true appearance?!" Ye Fan was somewhat shocked.
Tu Fei said: "In this world, there are Netherworld Eyes that can see through the underworld and peer into the nether realm. Besides that, there are several other types of heavenly eyes. Among them, the Spirit Immortal Eye can see through falsehood. No matter how you disguise yourself, it won't work. It can directly see the origin. I think this young lady most likely possesses the Spirit Immortal Eye. Look at her, pure as an immortal, naturally transcendent. This isn't innocence—this is a spirit immortal temperament, matching the legends of those with the Spirit Immortal Eye."
"Spirit Immortal Eye..." Ye Fan was astonished.
"That's right, it must be the Spirit Immortal Eye. Otherwise, how could she see through your Heaven-Shifting Earth-Transforming Art?" Tu Fei suddenly became excited and said: "Capture her!"
"What are you thinking?!" Ye Fan wanted to smack him.
"You don't know. Those born with heavenly eyes are favored by heaven. She has a spirit immortal temperament. If you were to marry her, the benefits would be enormous." Tu Fei's voice was almost dreamlike.
"What nonsense, completely absurd." Ye Fan slapped him, waking him up.
"No, it's absolutely true. You don't know, but the Void Emperor of the Ji Family achieved the imperial throne precisely because he married a female divine king. Many people say so." Tu Fei's face was full of envy.
Black Emperor, inside Ye Fan's sleeve, couldn't help but scold: "Wishful thinking! Do you think the Great Emperor achieved his position like that? The ancient great emperors all cultivated through their own efforts!"
Tu Fei argued: "Ancient records state that the Ji Family produces a Divine King Body every dozen or so generations. Because they are descendants of a female divine king, this inheritance is imperishable. There is solid evidence that the Void Emperor married a female divine king."
"According to you, did the Eternal Universe Great Emperor of the Jiang Family also marry a female divine king?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"That's not it. It was one of his descendants who married a female divine king as a wife," Tu Fei said.
Black Emperor snorted coldly: "What have later generations turned these things into? Marrying a divine king as a wife isn't for cultivation, but to ensure that occasionally a divine body appears among one's descendants, which can protect the family. Because the Void Emperor deeply understood how difficult it was to achieve the position of Great Emperor. There have only been a few in all of history. He wouldn't optimistically think that a single family could produce a second Great Emperor—that would be unrealistic."
Tu Fei argued: "Then why do some great powers also say that marrying a woman with a divine body or spirit immortal temperament can lead to achieving the Dao?"
"This claim has only a shred of basis. It's because women with divine bodies or spirit immortal temperaments are favored by heaven and possess immortal charm. Living with them gives one a feeling of being close to immortality. Occasionally, one might gain some insight. But wanting to achieve the imperial throne? It's completely useless."
"So, it's still useful for cultivation!" Tu Fei insisted.
"Useful my ass!"
Before Vivi had even reached them, Tu Fei and the big black dog had already started quarreling.
"Swish"
Vivi moved like flowing light, like a darting shadow, arriving before them. Light and ethereal, full of spiritual wisdom, flawlessly beautiful, without a trace of worldly aura.
"Fairy maiden, do you have business with me?" Ye Fan still didn't quite believe she had recognized him.
Vivi's crystalline teeth gleamed as she smiled slightly, making the entire maple forest bright and cheerful. She said: "By my master's orders, I've come to capture Ye Fan."
Ye Fan understood. Vivi had no killing intent. She had truly recognized him.
"Where is Ye Fan? I'm also looking for that bastard. He's worth a hundred thousand catties of source." Tu Fei played dumb.
"The real Ye Fan is hard to find, but fake ones are plentiful. Last time, that Priest Duan was really done in. If he hadn't pulled out a black iron token at the critical moment, he would have been beaten to death. Now the real Ye Fan is worth two hundred thousand catties of source." Vivi's lips curled slightly, carrying a hint of playfulness and brightness.
"Haha..." Tu Fei laughed loudly: "That unscrupulous Taoist finally showed his true colors and got recognized?"
These days, they had been looting bandits and hadn't paid attention to what happened that day.
"The old Peng King came in person. No matter how powerful Priest Duan's magic was, he couldn't escape," Vivi said with a light laugh.
Ye Fan felt she was intentionally telling him this news.
Sure enough, Vivi smiled lightly: "The big shots from the various holy lands have gathered at Purple Mountain, wanting to open the ancient great emperor's treasure. The younger generation and some scattered cultivators are all looking for Ye Fan."
"Oh, who are the people looking for Ye Fan?" Ye Fan didn't acknowledge their acquaintance, tacitly understanding.
"Many people, and all of them are remarkable figures. Even the Great Xia Prince from the Central Province is looking for you, wanting to use the Primordial Qi Cauldron to forge a divine artifact for the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty."
The Central Province had four imperishable imperial dynasties, passed down for over a hundred thousand years, enduring countless calamities without decline, extremely prosperous. All were founded by ancient great emperors.
Ye Fan had seen one Great Xia Prince. Imperial dragon qi coiled around him, nine dragons soaring into the sky, comparable to the Holy Son Yao Guang. That clan's "Supreme Emperor Scripture" was unmatched in attack, said to rival the Battle Saint Art.
"I wonder which Great Xia Prince it is?"
"He is stationed in the Holy City of the Northern Domain. By his side is also a Buddhist maiden holding a flower," Vivi said with a smile.
Ye Fan knew it was the Great Xia Prince he had seen. The Buddhist maiden holding a flower was undoubtedly the White-Robed Little Nun he had met, who was also the Great Xia Princess.
Ye Fan smiled slightly. He was about to go to the Holy City, and perhaps he would have a great stone gambling battle with this Great Xia Prince.
"Currently, the biggest threat to Ye Fan is the Yaoguang Ten Great Experts."
"Yaoguang Ten Great Experts?"
"Right here between Anzhou and Kunzhou, ten young experts from Yaoguang are searching for Ye Fan. Each one is very powerful." Vivi casually revealed such news.
"How powerful are they?" Tu Fei asked.
"They are all disciples trained by the hidden elders of Yaoguang. Those at the fifth level of the Dao Palace Secret Realm can fight against experts of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Moreover, four or five of them are likely already at the Four Extremes Secret Realm."
"So formidable?!" Tu Fei was greatly shocked. Those at the fifth level of the Dao Palace could fight against the Four Extremes, and four or five were themselves at the Four Extremes Secret Realm—this was truly astonishing.
Ye Fan also frowned: "Doesn't the younger generation of Yaoguang only have four experts at the Four Extremes Secret Realm?"
"That was news from a year or two ago. Everyone is progressing. There will always be stunning figures who advance. Besides, the disciples taught by the hidden elders are very low-key, rarely exposed to the world."
"Did these ten experts emerge solely for Ye Fan?" Tu Fei asked.
"The Holy Son Yao Guang is practically unrivaled among his peers in the Eastern Wasteland. With him around, no one in Yaoguang would have other thoughts. But he was crippled by Ye Fan. Whether he can return alive is hard to say. Some supreme elders and hidden elders naturally want to support their own disciples to take the position. This time, whoever can capture and kill Ye Fan will add a brilliant mark to their record."
"How did the Yaoguang younger generation's ten great experts find their way to the Anzhou and Kunzhou region?" Ye Fan asked.
Vivi smiled lightly: "Now everyone knows that the Primordial Saint Body needs a large amount of source to advance. Large-scale looting of bandits naturally arouses suspicion. The ten great experts of Yaoguang's younger generation, who have moved from the shadows to the light, all want to compete for the position of holy son, so they are naturally the most sensitive."
"The heroes are chasing the deer, but I hope the deer doesn't kill them all!" Ye Fan muttered.
Vivi's spirit immortal temperament was transcendent, holy and pure. Her eyes were clear and bright, her smile very moving, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "Oh dear, I have to go. By my master's orders, I'm off to capture and kill Ye Fan." Her manner before leaving was somewhat playful.
She turned lightly, her jade feet stepping on crystalline petals, drifting away, leaving only a trace of fragrance.
The big black dog couldn't wait to rush out of Ye Fan's sleeve, looking toward the depths of the maple forest where the beautiful figure was about to disappear. "This young lady is very unusual. Her spirit immortal aura is very strong. There's an indescribable divine charm."
Tu Fei also nodded: "Indeed, she's not ordinary. Does she want to use us to eliminate the ten great experts of Yaoguang? Does she want to become a female saint lord?!"
Ye Fan said: "Regardless, she has no killing intent toward me. Twice, in the Southern Domain and the Northern Domain, she saw through my true identity but didn't report it to Yaoguang to claim credit."
Tu Fei said thoughtfully: "That's why I say this young lady is very extraordinary. I think she, like me, believes you can break the curse of the Primordial Saint Body and enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm."
Ye Fan said: "Since the ten young experts trained by Yaoguang's hidden elders have emerged and come to Anzhou and Kunzhou, I can't let them down. I'm going to kill all these so-called ten great experts and shake up the Northern Domain, so they won't all see me as a piece of fat meat."
Tu Fei was startled: "What are you doing? To vent your anger? That's very irrational."
Ye Fan smiled and shook his head: "I'm doing this to create an illusion for the world, to focus their attention on the various oases, while I'm about to enter the Holy City."
"You want to go gamble on the stone materials of the various holy lands?" Tu Fei was shocked.
Ye Fan had already told Tu Fei that he had mastered the "Source Heaven Scroll." Since the other was helping him so much, he didn't want to hide anything.
"That's right. This is a perfect opportunity. The big shots from the various holy lands have all gone to Purple Mountain, wanting to open the ancient great emperor's treasure. During this time, I'll enter the Holy City and gamble heavily on the stone materials of the various holy lands." Ye Fan said seriously to Tu Fei: "I need your help. After I enter the Holy City, help me create some confusion in the various oases, making people think I'm still looting source everywhere."
Ye Fan had mastered the Heaven-Shifting Earth-Transforming Art, but to be safe, he felt it was better to make more arrangements.
"That's easy to do. Set up false trails, and I guarantee those people will keep chasing after you with hope!" Tu Fei laughed.
"Black Emperor, I also need your help. Occasionally show up in various places, casually carve some array patterns, go out for a couple of rounds, and that's enough." Before it could respond, Ye Fan said: "You know, after I master the Source Heaven Scroll, finding divine source in the future will be no problem. Helping me now is helping yourself."
After everything was settled, Ye Fan looked into the distance and said: "Before entering the Holy City for the big gamble, let's first deal with these ten great experts who have just emerged. Let's stir up some waves in the peaceful Northern Domain!"
