"Do you know why you couldn't obtain the inheritance when you attacked Purple Mountain? It's because none of you have the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo. In this World, only those with the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo can cultivate the Beginningless Scripture. No one else can!" The big black dog changed the subject and spoke again.
"What makes you say that?" the crowd asked, puzzled.
"Emperor Wushi himself possessed an innate sacred body and Dao embryo. Otherwise, how could he have swept across the nine heavens and ten earths without being invincible, wandering through the long river of time, lonely and without any rivals? He needed someone with the same physique to inherit his Dao lineage!"
The big black dog was so confident, it was almost as if it was cursing itself, its face full of fanaticism.
Everyone was shocked. This news was indeed earth-shattering. No wonder they had failed to obtain the Beginningless Scripture after several attacks on Purple Mountain. So this was the reason.
"Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo..." The Purple Mansion Holy Master's eyes flickered as he glanced at Ye Fan and then at his own Holy Maiden.
Ye Fan was restless. Even though he was thick-skinned, he was still uncomfortable at this moment. Being stared at by everyone made him feel very uneasy.
As for the innate Dao embryo in the Purple Mansion, it stood there quietly, with its black hair flowing freely, its skin as smooth as ice, and its bones as pure as jade, ethereal and noble, and its face showing no expression.
Many people glanced at Ye Fan, then at the innate Dao embryo in the Purple Mansion, and couldn't help but feel worried. If the two were to combine in the future and give birth to an innate Dao embryo, wouldn't that cut off the path for those under their tutelage?
The Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion had a bright and ardent look in his eyes. If Zixia could unite with Ye Fan and give birth to a congenital holy body, they could remain prosperous for another ten thousand years.
Zixia, with a serene expression, was in a mysterious state, always in harmony with heaven and Earth, her beauty unparalleled.
Seeing this, the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion sighed inwardly, knowing that Zixia had no intention of marrying the Holy Body.
"Sacred Body, Dao Embryo, both are unparalleled physiques. Young Brother Ye has extraordinary potential and is no ordinary person. The young generation should get to know him better! The Purple Mansion Saint Master smiled and glanced at Ye Fan, his expression full of profound meaning.
Many people were startled. Was the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion sending some signal?
The Purple Mansion Saint Lord was determined to befriend Ye Fan. Even if the two could not become Daoist partners, if Ye Fan achieved great success in the future, the Purple Mansion Holy Land would still make a huge profit and would not lose out.
"Senior is too kind. Thank you for your kind words." Ye Fan bowed respectfully to the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion.
"I hope to have the opportunity to exchange skills with Fairy Zixia in the future, and I hope that you will forgive my past grievances!" Ye Fan looked at Zixia again.
Previously, he and the Black Emperor had suppressed Fairy Zixia, but at that time, Fairy Zixia had not offended him.
Zixia Fairy had a gentle, serene personality and possessed an otherworldly air. She nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the two would have a hard time getting together. They did not want them to be together; otherwise, if the marriage had been successful and a child with an innate holy body had been born, the future would have belonged to the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
Nangong Zheng nodded inwardly. This Zixia was indeed very good. She was proud but not arrogant, had a strong personality, and was not snobbish.
In the original novel, she was unwilling to be with Ye Fan simply because she didn't like him, not for any other reason. Furthermore, when many holy sons and daughters wanted to kill Ye Fan to seize the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, she did not intervene.
Furthermore, Ye Fan and the Black Emperor suppressed her for no reason, and she did not retaliate later.
Even though Ye Fan had achieved great success, she never thought of trying to curry favor with him. In the novel "Covering the Sky," she truly deserved the title of "Holy Maiden."
In contrast, the other female character, Phoenix, appears rather pathetic.
In the original story, he believed he could defy the heavens and attain enlightenment, and even looked down on the Great Accomplishment Holy Body. It wasn't until he was hit hard by reality that he regretted not agreeing to Ye Fan's proposal. Of course, nowadays, many things have changed, and Ye Fan and Phoenix have no interaction.
Soon, the Peach Banquet came to an end, and everyone left.
Nangong Zheng did not leave Yaochi immediately, but was kept by the Queen Mother of the West for a few days.
Soon, the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion arrived with Fairy Zixia, chatted with Nangong Zheng for a while, and then left.
Not long after, Ye Fan came to his door again. He revealed that he came from the other side of the starry sky, a place called Earthh. He said that Nangong Zheng was now so powerful and hoped that Nangong Zheng would help him take him home.
"I understand. Although I can traverse the universe, I don't have its coordinates, so I can't go to the place you mentioned. I'll often get lost in the desolate universe." Nangong Zheng glanced at him and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He didn't have the coordinates of either the ancient star Yinghuo or Earth. What should he do?
His eyes were filled with sadness. He had been away from his hometown for almost ten years and didn't know how his parents were doing.
Nangong Zheng nodded inwardly. At this moment, Ye Fan, like the Undying Emperor, had a simple purpose: he had no intention of competing for the Emperor's path, but only wanted to return to his hometown.
"I can point you in the right direction; there might be some hope," Nangong Zheng suddenly said.
"How so? Senior, please feel free to make your request! Ye Fan's eyes lit up immediately. Although Nangong Zheng charged exorbitant fees, he was reliable in getting things done.
"Go to Zishan, you might have a chance to return to Earth!" Nangong Zheng said after a moment of contemplation.
He remembered that the deity of the Boundless Bell seemed to be revived, and if he could communicate with it, there might be hope.
"Then... let's go!" Ye Fan was very excited. He had been in this World for almost ten years, and he always missed his family and friends on Earth. At this moment, he wished he could rush to their side.
"No rush, we still need to wait for someone!"
Soon, a tall and imposing middle-aged man appeared with a girl in purple.
"Fairy Zixia!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.
The innate Dao embryo, Zixia, was pure and ethereal, her purple robes fluttering like a celestial flower. She nodded.
"Brother Nangong, are we about to set off?" asked the Purple Mansion Holy Land with some excitement.
"Well, there's no time like the present, let's do it today. Let the Holy Body and the Dao Embryo set off together and see how much inheritance we can obtain! Nangong Zheng said.
When the Beginningless Sutra is activated, it is necessary to nourish the blood of the innate sacred body and the Dao embryo. Perhaps, if the blood is nourished separately for the sacred body and the Dao embryo, unexpected gains will follow.
Previously, the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion brought Zixia to inquire about the inheritance of the Beginningless. Nangong Zheng agreed to let the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion take Zixia into Purple Mountain to take a look. Ye Fan happened to be there as well, so he was invited to go along.
Of course, Nangong Zheng wasn't acting out of pure kindness. Naturally, he also coveted the Wushi Jing (Scripture of the Beginningless), even though it was a scripture for cultivating the innate holy body and Dao embryo. The profound mysteries of the Great Dao were universal and might be of great benefit to him.
"Senior, let's set off quickly!" Ye Fan said. He understood perfectly that this Senior Nangong must be after the Beginningless Scripture; he would never be so eager.
However, he got used to it.
At this moment, even someone as serene as Zixia was not at peace. That was the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi, and no one could remain unmoved. Even as a Dao embryo, she could not escape the temptation.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a large black dog suddenly appeared.
"Wait for me! I know Zishan well, I'll take you there!" The big black dog appeared and joined the group.
Immediately afterward, Nangong Zheng, Ye Fan, Zixia, and the big black dog left Yaochi and headed towards Zishan!
