Chapter 116: Bewitchingly moving
In a time when the supreme ultimate mandated heaven and earth, and before the world splintered off. The yuan qi mixed and became one. Since the beginning, the great one dictated that all living things would return to the soil, including the supreme ultimate.
All this was recorded within ancient texts, the supreme ultimate was a manifestation of the Dao, since the beginning of time, from nothingness to the creation of tens of thousands of living creatures, all this was the supreme ultimate.
The most mysterious ancient text within ancient China, ‘Classic of Changes’ had long ago expounded on the Supreme ultimate, it was recorded: “Changes included the supreme ultimate, the beginning gave life to Yin and Yang ……”
Within the mountainous region outside the Wei City, before a clear blue pristine lake, Ye Fan moved silently and forcefully, alternating between the two, one moment he was still yet moving, moving yet still. Sometimes he stood erect like a pine tree, sometimes he was supple like the river waters swirling about, slowly releasing his body as he used his mortal shell to feel the formless sound of the Dao.
Ye Fan was not a god, he could not possibly create a martial art for forging the physical body instantly, he could only slowly feel his way, his body was like a bolt of lightning when he was forceful, gentle like a passing breeze when he was gentle, forceful and gentle, there were the natural feelings of the Dao contained within his movements.
Half a month passed, he realised the difficulty of his endeavour, sometimes merely having an idea was simply insufficient, one needed to make it a reality.
Currently, forging the physical body could only be a supplementary method, he was merely a cultivator at the Spiritual Bridge realm, it was simply impossible for him to create an astonishing cultivating art, all this required time to create.
Under the current circumstances, it was important for him to continue cultivating the Wheel and Sea, followed by the Dao Palace and other mysterious realms, these were tested and proven cultivation methods which had seen countless ages, forged and baptised by time, they were perfected pieces of cultivation arts.
“I will cultivate the Wheel and Sea, Dao Palace and other mysterious realms to build up my spirit while cultivating martial arts to strengthen the body, the two elements will complement each other, and I will have divine abilities and primitive combat power at the same time.” Ye Fan was extremely excited at the prospect of becoming stronger.
“I believe that the collected wisdom of ancient China will surely be able to give the techniques of this world a run for their money.”
Ye Fan had already stayed two months within the Wei State, besides cultivating, he was constantly thinking of ways to traverse the void. He did not have any good methods to break through the Wheel and Sea realm, his understanding of the Dao was limited and could not congeal heavenly influence to form a door which would allow him to traverse the void, thinking about it, he could only rely on a stronger power.
Within Wei City, the area was flourishing with the hustle and bustle of carts and people, Ye Fan inadvertently saw a familiar figure, dressed in taoist robes with a purple gold hat, he did not have the feel of a monk, his waist was thick with a rosy complexion, this was the unscrupulous cultivator Duan De.
“The life of this damned fatty is really tough, corpses were piled high like mountains at the demonic emperor’s burial mound and blood flowed like rivers, he was forced into the Yin Tomb by the five powerful figures yet he managed to stay alive……” Ye Fan felt that the fat cultivator was definitely not simple, he was certainly not good-natured like his appearance. This was a ruthless individual, Ye Fan did not dare to draw closer.
Currently, his divine sense was extremely strong, his consciousness had formed into a vast golden lake, an actual form was beginning to materialise, coagulating between his brow, he could follow from a distance without worry of being spotted. The unscrupulous cultivator climbed a flight of stairs within a restaurant as he began to have a feast, eating meat and drinking large bowls of wine without any restraint, acting completely different from a monk.
It was only an hour later before he left Wei City with a body full of the musk of alcohol, swaying as he moved towards the mountains.
“This damned fatty, after having his full of meat and wine, he actually goes directly into the depths of the mountains, what is he up to?” Ye Fan was curious as he followed from far behind, he was alarmed that with his powerful divine sense, he actually felt an unfathomable feeling coming from Duan De.
The speed of the unscrupulous cultivator was extremely fast as he crested mountains and traversed valleys, his speed was not much slower than flying as he swiftly arrived before the gate of a sect. Ye Fan knew that this was a small sect within the Wei State, even smaller than the Ling Xu Immortal Sanctuary.
Duan De snaked his way in as he delved deeper, Ye Fan did not dare to enter but rather quietly waited outside, half a minute passed before the fat cultivator snuck back out as he swiftly fled.
Not long after, shouts could be heard from within the sect, Ye Fan could faintly discern that the sect seemed to have lost something of importance.
“This damned fatty is really unscrupulous.” Ye Fan swiftly fled, the cultivators from this sect were flying forth in all directions and if he was spotted, it would be difficult to extricate himself from the matter.
“Where do you think you’re going!” An elder actually managed to spot him. “Damned fatty, I’ll f*** your ancestors, this couldn’t possibly be premeditated to make me a scapegoat right?” Ye Fan’s heart was confused as he disappeared into the depths of the mountains in the blink of an eye.
An hour later, he managed to find traces of the unscrupulous cultivator again, he was suspicious of whether Duan De knew that someone was following him.
However, the unscrupulous cultivator did not turn to look and seemed oblivious as he hiccuped in his drunken stupor while muttering: “The Wei State meeting of cultivators is worth a look, who knows what priceless treasures will turn up.”
“So this damned fatty is actually thinking of attending some meeting.”
Duan De flew five hundred odd Li before finally descending onto a mountain. Just ahead, the clouds and mist were swirling about under a mountain peak with lush green valley. Several cultivators were riding on mystical rainbows as they entered the valley.
This was a sect and before the gate was a limestone with the words ‘Mysterious Origin’, nobody was blocking the way and anyone could freely enter, several cultivators rushed over from all directions.
Inside the mountain peak was simply gorgeous, there were pavilion halls and a waterfall flowing down. It was an extremely serene pure land, and there were already many cultivators gathered within.
Ye Fan continued to follow behind Duan De, he realised that this fellow was really an unusual person who had his unusual ways as he turned and twisted his way through, causing one to be caught off guard as he reached the rear mountain of the sect.
Up ahead, cherry blossoms bloomed revealing a pinkish red sight. The entire area was covered in cherry blossom trees like a pink gauze encompassing the place as a flowery fragrance filled the air.
Duan De stopped before a thousand year old cherry blossom tree as he crouched down, his eyes were wide and it seemed like his saliva would flow out at any moment, he seemed to be very excited over something.
Looking at him from far away, Ye Fan wondered what priceless treasure this damned fatty had spotted.
“Who goes there?!” At this moment, the delicate voice of a female could be heard.
