Shrouding the Heavens

Legend has it that if such a stone absorbs enough Sun and Moon Essence over a sufficient period, it will eventually transform into a Holy Spirit.” This stone held an immense attraction for Ye Fan.

Naturally human-shaped and possessing nine apertures, it was exceedingly special.

Though he had wandered around the garden, his mind had been constantly drawn back to this spot.

According to ancient legends, there existed Immortal Stones in the world, born with nine apertures, capable of transforming into Holy Spirits—beings close to Immortal.

However, this stone was too small, only a foot long.

Ye Fan pondered.

Ultimately, he made his move, picking up the Nine-Aperture Stone Man and observing it meticulously.

“Many masters highly skilled in Source Techniques have examined this Nine-Aperture Stone Man, but for so many years, no one has dared to make a move on it.” “Young man, do you really intend to try this stone?” A group of old men was very surprised.

They had all studied this stone before, but none had ever dared to act.

This stone was merely a foot long, yet it was valued at 90,000 jin of Source—an absurdly expensive price.

Many who had seen it were left uncertain.

“Is someone going to attempt the Nine-Aperture Stone Man?

I’ve come at the right time!

I must take a good look.” More old men, having heard the news, arrived.

“Last time, those experts from the Source Technique noble families studied it for the better part of a day and ultimately shook their heads and gave up.

Is someone really going to cut this stone today?” Today, Ye Fan cutting out the Ancient Divine Medicine had created a far greater impact than he had imagined.

People continually arrived, eager to witness it, causing a veritable sensation throughout the divine city.

Ye Fan raised this strange black stone, holding it up towards the sun, carefully analyzing, observing closely, and silently contemplating.

He constantly felt that this stone was profoundly mysterious and elusive.

One moment it gave him an illusory, dreamlike feeling, the next it felt incredibly heavy, giving him the false impression that it contained an unparalleled rare treasure.

Beside him, the old men were discussing.

“The divine medicine has been sent away; we won’t see it today.

It will be auctioned at the Heavenly Demon Treasure Pavilion soon.

However, today’s visit hasn’t been in vain.

If we can find out what’s inside the Nine-Aperture Stone Man, it would fulfill a long-held wish.” “Indeed.

I’ve always wanted to know what it contains.

Unfortunately, even those with profound skills in Source Techniques eventually gave up on it, so we’ve never been able to see for ourselves.” A group of old men, their interest piqued, gathered around, all eagerly anticipating Ye Fan cutting open the Nine-Aperture Stone Man to satisfy their curiosity of many years.

“Are you confident?” Li Heishui transmitted his voice.

“Not confident, but it’s worth a shot!” Ye Fan replied, holding up the strange black stone, aligning each of its nine apertures with the sun, observing them one by one.

When he inadvertently looked back, he was somewhat surprised.

The area outside the Stone Garden was completely surrounded by people.

Numerous cultivators were watching, no one making loud noises, all observing quietly.

Among them stood the Jiang Family’s outstanding talent—Jiang Yifei, clad in white robes that outshone snow, exceptionally distinguished.

And in another direction, there was also a person in white—a woman with bright, captivating eyes, flawlessly beautiful, her skin like crystal.

It was An Miaoyi.

She, too, had come.

Only at this moment did Ye Fan realize that cutting out the divine medicine had caused a stir throughout the divine city, drawing numerous prominent figures to this place.

At this point, only the group of old men showed no reservations, surrounding him and discussing animatedly, while everyone else watched in silence.

Ye Fan shook his head, not having expected to draw so much attention.

He quickly calmed his mind and began again, aligning the Stone Man’s nine apertures with the sunlight one by one, and continuously measured its body with his fingers.
