Chapter 176 Traveling to the Northern Region
Ye Fan clearly heard cracking sounds from his bones and his body started to distort. He had received injuries that were so severe they were hard to imagine.
When he fell into the mountain stream, he entered a state of semi-consciousness.
Ye Fan drifted with the flow. The mountain stream passed through waterfalls and spring water, eventually arriving at a river. He was unable to move, simply drifting with the flow of the water.
This river wasn’t very fast. Half a day later he arrived at a field and was sucked into a larger torrential river.
Ye Fan occasionally awoke, but he didn’t have the slightest strength. In this large river he ebbed and flowed. He sensed that at least ten of his bones were broken.
His physical body was comparable to precious treasures, but it was still harmed to such an extent. Thus, it could be imagined how powerful that blow had been.
Ye Fan floated for three days before his mind gradually recovered. He immediately grimaced as he felt sharp pains all over his body.
At this time, the river had calmed down. Not far away was a pierwith quite a few ships docked there, and a city on the riverside.
Bang.
He was smashed into the pier by the river. He then collided with a large ship, and was immediately noticed at that point.
“What the, it really is bad luck. For a dead corpse to knock into my boat, it’s bad luck for at least a year.” There were people cursing on top of the ship.
“He hasn’t died. He’s still breathing.”
“Bring him up.”
Some people went down into the water, bringing Ye Fan onto the ship.
“Is it an expert from the cultivation world?” The boat’s steersman shuddered. “Could it be he received grievous wounds and fell into the river?”
He reached out his hand towards Ye Fan Wheel and Sea, before quickly standing up and cursing, “It’s just a trash. There’s no divine energy fluctuations.”
The others also came up and observed Ye Fan. A discussion quickly began.
“His face has been disfigured and his mouth and eyes are weirdly slanted. One of his legs is long while the other is short and his body is weirdly deformed. I’ve never seen such an ugly person.”
“This ugly is holding female garments tightly. Could he have died for life?”
“These clothes really are pretty though. It’s kind of disgraceful for them to be in his hands.”
“Third senior Li, could it be you want them? Such an ugly person probably is only attracted to a woman just as bad. Be carefully not to have nightmares.”
The dock’s people were all continuously discussing him.
Ye Fan quickly understood that his body had received severe wounds from the void shattering and had become completely deformed. In order to recover, he’d need to once again reconnect his bones. Right now he probably did look extremely ugly.
How are we supposed to handle him? It looks like he can survive.”
“Throw him onto the pier and let it run its own course. That already counts as a good deed.”
The old steersman circled around Ye Fan and said, “We can’t save him for nothing. Isn’t the city’s ‘Cheerful Faction’ recruiting all sorts of people? We’ll sell him there. It can be considered helping him make a living.”
“What is the Cheerful Faction doing by searching for people?” asked the surrounding people.
“It’s said that it’s for a powerful existence. They’re recruiting people to go the northern region and excavate Sources.”
“Wow, the northern region. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to travel there in ten lifetimes. How is he supposed to get here?”
“Cultivators have immortal families with methods to traverse the void. We might not be able to go to such a place, but it isn’t difficult for them.”
Ye Fan originally wanted to stand up and walk away, but when he heard these words, his heart shook and he didn’t get up.
“Hey ugly, you’re ok with this right?” the steersman squatted and asked.
“No problem. Once I rest for a few times I’ll be fine.” Ye Fan naturally agreed.
Hearing this, the sold steersman was very satisfied and said, “Give him some food, and then we’ll send him to the Cheerful Faction.”
The Cheerful Faction was just a small sect that wasn’t even comparable to the Spirit Ruins Paradise. But in such a city it was considered a giant.
This region was close to the Flickering Light Sacred Land, and all the sects in this region were the Sacred Land’s subordinates. The Cheerful Faction’s position was far from high, and was the lowest level of a sect. it could only forever be controlled and appended to the Flickering Light Sacred Land.

“Why are you sending any kind of person here? We only want healthy laborers, and not a handicapped person like this.” The Cheerful Faction was very dissatisfied when they saw Ye Fan.
“His strength is very great, and he’s definitely not handicapped. If you don’t believe him, just try making him move a stone.” The steersman smiled apologetically.
Ye Fan obediently picked up a large stone and walked a couple steps before throwing it to the ground. Just like that, he was kept.
---
Five days later, the Cheerful Faction sent him and hundreds of other people to a sect called the Jade Void sect.
“Carefully inspect them! Don’t let cultivators muddle their way in. We’re bringing people to excavate Sources and not helping people traverse the void. If there are any problems, you won’t be able to take responsibility.”
The Jade Void people were also in service to the Flickering Light Sacred Land.
An old man with a jade needle let Ye Fan and the others walk up the mountain one by one. Rays of light were emitted from the needle, and explored the place where the Wheel and Sea was located.
“Excellent, there’s no divine energy.” That old man nodded his head in satisfaction.
But it wasn’t finished just like that. Over ten seniors then walked up and repeatedly and carefully examined over them a dozen times before letting the group pass.
They were picking people for the Flickering Light Sacred Land, so they naturally didn’t dare be careless.

Over this time, Ye Fan learned many pieces of news.
The northern region had many divine sources, enticing the Eastern Wastelands. Many powerful existences were unable to hold back and went to the northern region. Their delegates found the region of the divine sources mine.
Countless years ago, each of the Sacred Lands and Ancient Desolation Noble Families had entered the northern region, and they each had their own mining regions.
