41: Chapter 41 Rejuvenation! Ye Fan and Pang Bo: Have we become younger?

At the peak of the holy mountain, the wind howled.

Upon the blue stone, the scent of tea curled in the air.

That refreshing aroma allowed the originally tense Ye Fan and Pang Bo to gradually relax.

A cup of Enlightenment Tea entered their stomachs, not only washing away the fatigue of their bodies but also leaving their minds completely clear.

Ye Fan set down the white jade teacup in his hand, looking intensely at the man in white across from him.

"Senior."

Ye Fan changed his form of address, his tone carrying a hint of urgency and anticipation.

"Can we... still return to Earth?"

Although they had just experienced the shock of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and witnessed this bizarre world of cultivation, deep in his heart, he still longed for his home on the other side of the starry sky.

There were his parents and his life.

Pang Bo also stared intently at Ye Xuan, waiting for an answer.

Ye Xuan looked at the two and shook his head lightly.

"You cannot return."

Three words, crisp and decisive, shattered the illusions in their hearts.

Seeing their dim expressions, Ye Xuan added, "At least you cannot return for now. Crossing the starry sky requires extremely powerful cultivation and coordinates. You are too weak right now. In this vast Universe, you don't even count as a speck of dust."

Ye Fan fell silent.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms.

He was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point in Ye Xuan's words.

Not being able to return now did not mean they couldn't return later.

The key lies in—cultivation.

"Please, Senior, guide us!"

Ye Fan stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

"I want to Cultivate. I want to control my own destiny."

Pang Bo also stood up and said loudly, "Me too! Since we are here, we can't just be trash. I also want to Cultivate!"

Ye Xuan looked at their determined eyes, his lips curling slightly.

As expected of the future Emperor Ye and the descendant of the Yao Emperor; they were already on the right track.

"Good."

Ye Xuan stood up, his sleeves swaying gently.

"Since you have such determination, I will grant you a stroke of fortune."

He walked in front of Ye Fan and extended a slender finger, golden light swirling at the tip.

"Ye Fan, do you know why you were able to withstand my pressure just now without kneeling?"

Ye Fan was stunned and shook his head. "I don't know, I just felt a heat below my navel."

"That is your Bloodline Awakening."

Ye Xuan's voice became serious.

"You and I are both Ancient Desolate Saint Body. This is a supreme Physique; after reaching Major Achievement, one can challenge a Great Emperor. But in this era, the environment of heaven and earth has changed greatly, and the Ancient Desolate Saint Body has become a useless Physique that cannot Cultivate."

"A useless Physique?" Ye Fan was startled.

"Correct. Because the bitter sea of the Ancient Desolate Saint Body is as hard as iron and difficult to open. However..."

Ye Xuan changed the subject, his fingertip suddenly pointing at the center of Ye Fan's brow.

"Meeting me, you can consider yourself lucky."

Boom!

A vast and majestic golden blood Qi flowed along Ye Xuan's finger, forcibly pouring into Ye Fan's body.

That was the Origin of an Ancient Desolate Saint Body at the level of a powerful expert.

Under the impact of this homologous power, Ye Fan felt the originally dead and hard bitter sea within his body tremble violently in an instant.

Crack.

It was as if something had shattered.

In the center of the originally pitch-black bitter sea, a point of golden light suddenly exploded.

Immediately after, a sound like a tsunami rang out within his body. It was golden waves surging; although only the size of a bean, it exuded an aura of supreme divinity and holiness.

The bitter sea, open!

Ye Fan's whole body shook violently, golden light piercing through his body, illuminating him as if he were cast in gold.

He felt his whole body filled with endless power, as if he could kill a cow with one punch.

Pang Bo, nearby, was stunned.

"Damn! Yezi turned into a golden man?"

Ye Xuan withdrew his hand and looked at Pang Bo.

"Don't rush, it's your turn."

"Senior, am I also that Ancient Desolate Saint Body thing?" Pang Bo asked expectantly.

"You are not."

Ye Xuan looked him up and down.

"You have the Bloodline of the Yao God flowing within you. Although thin, if activated, it is enough to let you take a step ahead on the path of Cultivation."

Saying this, Ye Xuan slapped Pang Bo on his back.

This palm strike did not use much force, but it contained a special guiding technique.

Roar!

A faint beast roar suddenly came from within Pang Bo's body.

His bitter sea area was not golden, nor was it the black of an ordinary person; instead, it emitted an eerie cyan light.

Within that cyan light, a huge Yao shadow faintly floated.

Pang Bo felt his whole body hot, his muscles bulging, and his whole person seemed to have inflated, becoming one circle more robust.

"Done."

Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

Whether it is the Ancient Desolate Saint Body or the Yao God Bloodline, as long as the first step is taken, the road ahead is easy to walk.

He flipped his wrist, and two streams of light flew towards the two.

"Catch."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo subconsciously reached out to catch them.

They were two Jade Slips.

"Pang Bo, what you have in your hand is an ancient scripture of the Yao Race, most suitable for your Physique to Cultivate. If practiced to a deep level, you can transform into an ancient great Yao, plucking stars and grasping the moon."

"Ye Fan, this scroll I give you is the Sea of Reincarnation scroll of the 'Dao Scripture'. This is the strongest Foundation Establishment technique in the world, capable of cultivating your bitter sea to Perfection."

Speaking of this, Ye Xuan paused and added, "Besides this, the Jade Slip also contains some of my insights on cultivating the Ancient Desolate Saint Body, as well as a fist technique—Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist. This fist technique is incomparably fierce and most suitable for the Ancient Desolate Saint Body to unleash. Study it well."

The two held the Jade Slips like they had obtained a precious treasure.

Especially Ye Fan; he felt the vast information coming from the Jade Slip and was incredibly excited.

The strongest Foundation Establishment technique!

A powerful expert's cultivation insights!

This is simply a beginner's gift pack!

"Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness!"

The two bowed together.

This time it was not out of fear, but sincere gratitude.

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

"Don't rush to thank me. Cultivation requires not only techniques but also wealth, companions, and land. Your bodies are too weak right now; your foundation is too thin."

He glanced at the two, who, although changed, still had mortal bodies.

"Eat something to supplement."

Ye Xuan took out a few red fruits from his bitter sea, each the size of a fist, emitting an alluring fragrance.

These were exactly the holy fruit specialty of the Ancient Forbidden Land.

At the same time, he took out two jade bottles filled with crystal-clear divine spring water.

"Eat them, they are good for your body."

Ye Xuan said casually.

How could Ye Fan and Pang Bo doubt him?

The two were already starving; smelling this fragrance, their saliva was about to flow out.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Pang Bo picked up a holy fruit and took a bite with a "crunch."

Juice overflowed, sweet and delicious.

"Delicious! Too delicious!"

Ye Fan also picked up one and began to eat it in large bites.

After a few holy fruits were in their stomachs, the two tilted their heads and gulped down the two bottles of divine spring water.

Boom!

This time, the kick was strong.

How vast is the life essence contained in the holy fruit and divine spring water?

Even a powerful expert would need to refine it after eating, let alone these two little rookies who had just opened their bitter seas.

Pang Bo only felt like there was a fire in his stomach, a massive heat flow instantly rushing to his limbs and bones.

"Hot! So hot!"

Pang Bo yelled, starting to tear at his clothes.

Ye Fan was also flushed, white smoke rising from the top of his head.

He felt the bones in his whole body itching, and his skin was burning.

Crackle, crackle.

A series of popping sounds like frying beans came from within their bodies.

That was their bones restructuring and their flesh regenerating.

Just in the surprised eyes of An Miaoyi and Xiao Yixian, a bizarre scene occurred.

The originally tall and robust Pang Bo's body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One meter nine... one meter eight... one meter six...

Ye Fan was the same.

His originally fitting clothes were now empty, hanging loosely on him.

In just a few breaths of time.

Two young men in their twenties had actually shrunk directly into the appearance of eleven or twelve-year-old boys!

Their skin was as white and tender as jade, delicate enough to be broken by a blow, and the stubble on their faces was gone, becoming incredibly youthful.

Pang Bo stared blankly at his own hands.

His originally fan-like large hands had now turned into chubby little hands.

He touched his face and then looked down at his pants, which were about to fall off.

"Holy crap!"

A childish, immature voice came out of Pang Bo's mouth.

He screamed in terror, his voice changing pitch.

"Yezi! Yezi! Why did you shrink? Why has your face become as white as a buttock?"

Ye Fan was also stunned.

He looked at the little fatty in front of him, wearing adult clothes and looking incredibly funny, and then looked at himself.

"Did we... become younger?"

Ye Fan pinched his face in disbelief.

The touch was indeed full of collagen.

Rejuvenation!

This kind of thing that only existed in myths and legends had actually happened to them.
