Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 391 - 192: Reunion with Old Friends, Their Shock (Part 2)

However, they had no clothes other than those from the Divine Maiden Sect, so Ye Xiaofan could only smile wryly and take out two plain robes from the Divine Sword Sect from his Space Ring for the sisters to change into.

It’s worth mentioning that although Ye Xiaofan’s robes were men’s attire, the sisters’ looks were not concealed in the slightest when they wore them, and instead, they exuded a youthful charm.

After changing clothes, the five of them put away the ark and slowly walked toward one of the Dao Platforms.

Just as the five were about to step onto the Dao Platform.

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded.

"Junior Brother Ye?"

The voice was a bit uncertain, but seemed somewhat sure.

Ye Xiaofan and the five others turned around, looking towards the source of the sound.

In the distance, there stood a dense crowd of Divine Sword Sect seniors, numbering over a hundred.

With just one glance, Ye Xiaofan recognized several familiar figures among them, including Jiang Changqing, Lin Changkong, Ning Xianna, a graceful figure next to Ning Xianna, and the Divine Sword Sect Sword Cultivator at the True Self Realm.

Besides them, there were also Wang Changsheng, Qi Yuan, and Shi Jingtian.

"Hahaha, it really is Junior Brother Ye. Junior Brother Ye, it’s been nearly half a year since we last met?"

"Oh my, it’s really you."

Wang Changsheng, Qi Yuan, and Shi Jingtian were all flabbergasted, and Jiang Changqing and the others were equally shocked when Ye Xiaofan turned around.

The reason why they were initially uncertain about calling out to Ye Xiaofan was due to the overwhelmingly formidable aura he exuded, which surpassed everyone’s expectations.

"Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Ning, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Qi Yuan, Senior Brother Shi..."

"Xiaofan greets all the senior brothers and sisters."

Ye Xiaofan slightly bowed to them. Standing there, he thought of how each of these people had helped him in one way or another, and he was grateful for their life-saving kindness.

Wang Changsheng, Qi Yuan, and Shi Jingtian looked at Ye Xiaofan in front of them with eyes full of shock, nearly speechless.

"Good heavens, Junior Brother Ye, you’ve reached the ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’?" Wang Changsheng was the first to speak. When they parted at the ancient Divine Sect ruins, only half a year had passed, and yet he had already reached the ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’.

It’s worth noting that when they last parted at the ancient Divine Sect ruins, Ye Xiaofan, through inheritance in the Floating Divine Hall, was only a ’Cultivator at the sixth layer of the Spiritual Essence Realm’. Yet, half a year later, upon meeting again, he had become a terrifying existence at the ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’. Such progress left Wang Changsheng and the other two in awe and wonder.

The events atop the First Divine Peak at the ancient Divine Sect ruins were still vivid in their minds.

However, compared to the others’ shock, Jiang Changqing, Lin Changkong, Ning Xianna, and the alluring figure beside Ning Xianna and the Sword Cultivator appeared as if they were struck by lightning, utterly stupefied.

The four at the True Self Realm and one at the Self-Slaying Realm stared at the familiar youngster in disbelief.

It had been a year since they parted ways with Ye Xiaofan. After bidding farewell at the ’White City Battle Domain’, they each went to different ’Battle Domains’.

A year ago, Ye Xiaofan was nothing more than a ’minor ant at the Peak of the Profound Sea Realm’, yet after a year, his cultivation had already reached the ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’. How could anyone cultivate at such speed?

"Little Junior Brother, your cultivation?" Lin Changkong stared at Ye Xiaofan in disbelief, saying, "You... you’ve reached the ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’?"

Ye Xiaofan bitterly smiled but nodded slightly, not saying much more.

"Good heavens, in one year, ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’, how is that possible? How did you achieve it?" The mysterious figure beside Ning Xianna furrowed her brows incredulously, her eyes full of disbelief.

In less than four and a half years, this person had advanced through the Tenth Layer of the Spiritual Absorption Realm, Tenth Layer of the Profound Spirit Realm, Tenth Layer of the Profound Sea Realm, Tenth Layer of the Spiritual Essence Realm, not to mention reaching Perfection, Great Perfection, Peak, and various minor stages.

This kind of progression was unheard of, even with the greatest opportunities.

Ning Xianna stood silently aside, her eyes filled with a complex expression, thinking that this was the boy her sister Ning Xianyi dismissed. In less than four and a half years...

At this moment, Ning Xianyi could only feel a mixture of emotions; the conversation at their farewell seemed so recent.

As everyone was in the midst of shock, Jiang Changqing suddenly seemed to notice something, his whole body trembling, and the shock in his eyes intensified geometrically.

He stared dumbfoundedly at the changes in Ye Xiaofan, his breath turning rapid, and involuntarily blurted out, "Little Junior Brother, you... you’ve awakened the Innate Dao Body?"

BOOM——!!!

At those words, everyone felt as if struck by lightning, standing petrified as if hit by some terrifying shock.

"Senior Brother Jiang, what did you say? In-Innate Dao Body? Are you saying Little Junior Brother has awakened the Innate Dao Body?" The figure beside Ning Xianna was completely astounded, dumbly looking at Jiang Changqing, while everyone turned to look at him.

Jiang Changqing swallowed hard, feeling parched, and said, "It’s indeed the Innate Dao Body. Only cultivators who have awakened the Innate Dao Body have a faint trace of Dao Rhyme. Although the Dao Rhyme on Junior Brother Ye is weak, it’s observable."
