Chapter 87 He is my ancestor!
When the three words "Master Yuan" echoed in the noisy gambling stone shop, the entire space seemed to be drained of sound by an invisible force, leaving Ye Fan alone in the crowd, becoming the focus of everyone's attention. Those monks who were originally arguing about the golden creatures in the source of the gods, at this moment, all restrained their voices, their eyes like torches, shot directly at Ye Fan, with surprise and greed.

“Master Yuan Tianshi… He is a legendary figure. I didn’t expect that I could witness the reappearance of his legacy with my own eyes today!” Someone exclaimed in a low voice with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Yes, it is said that the lineage of Master Yuan Tian can see through the secrets of heaven and earth and find the endless divine source. It is a great legend in the cultivation world. Now it seems that this brother Gu is the heir to that inheritance." Another person echoed, his eyes fixed on Ye Fan.

"It's indeed him, Ye Fan! But he is as brave as ever!" The beautiful eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi in the crowd were shining as she thought about the affairs of her own holy land.

Although Ye Fan was unhappy in his heart, he remained calm on his face. He said lightly: "Since your elders are visiting Yaoguang, you can go back and inform them, but if you want to gamble with me, you have to prepare a million kilograms of source!" As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt of lightning, causing ripples in the gambling stone shop.

One million jin of source, this astronomical figure shocked everyone. Many guests of the Ji family were attracted by this amazing bet and came to watch, with discussions one after another.

Jiang Yifei secretly sent a message to Ye Fan's consciousness: "This Tuoba Chang's grandfather is a master of source techniques. Although he has not reached the level of a source master, he is not far away. He has deep friendships with all the major holy places and is often invited to solve various problems in ancient mines. Be careful when betting with him."

"What a big deal!" The old gamblers in the gambling stone shop exclaimed in amazement. They were attracted by the upcoming thrilling gambling game and their hearts were full of anticipation.

"Brother Gufeng, it seems that you are going to do something amazing again." An Miaoyi's voice was as pleasant as a clear spring. She looked at Ye Fan with a smile, her eyes flashing with anticipation.

The people of the Ji family breathed a sigh of relief. The two evil stars were finally leaving, and they hoped to take this opportunity to reduce some losses.

Tuoba Chang did not show anger. He looked at Ye Fan deeply, then bowed and said, "I will go ahead and inform the elders at home, and prepare one million kilograms of source stones to welcome the future Yuan Tianshi." After that, he turned and left, but secretly said in his heart, "Boy, don't be complacent for now. Don't think that you can win every battle with the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi. You will cry soon! I was afraid that you would not gamble, but I didn't expect that you would come to my door without even putting down the bait. "The Book of Source Heaven", I must get it!"

······
Ye Fan and Zixia were surrounded by the crowd and slowly came to the door of Yaoguang Stone Archway. There were already a huge crowd of people in front of the stone archway, and many cultivators were anxiously waiting because they could not enter. Today's source art duel not only attracted the attention of countless cultivators, but also alarmed many people with great backgrounds, and its influence was evident.

The Divine City has become the center of the storm today, and the upcoming war in Zishan seems to be overshadowed by the light of this duel. Yaoguang Stone Archway has a long history, and the ancient buildings appear magnificent and sacred in the sun, flashing with flowing brilliance.

Yaoguang Stone Archway has a long history. The ancient buildings are magnificent and tall. Under the sunlight, there is a sacred glow flowing.

Each stone garden is not monotonous. It is filled with ancient trees, which are extremely lush and dense. If you enter rashly, it will feel like a pristine place.

Passing through the bustling crowd, Ye Fan, Zixia and others walked straight to the depths of the stone archway. They knew that today's battle would definitely take place in the Tianzihao Stone Garden.

When the waiter of Yaoguang Stone Shop saw them coming, although his face was expressionless, the indifference and "unwelcome" in his eyes were very obvious.

Such a grandmaster-level duel of source techniques is rarely seen in a century, not to mention that it involves a shocking bet of one million kilograms of source. There hasn't been such a gamble in thousands of years. I'm sure Yaoguang Gambling Stone Shop will bleed heavily today!
Soon, they met Tuoba Chang and his group who came out to greet them. Next to Tuoba Chang, an old man from the ancient Yuanshu family had a kind face, but gave people an unfathomable feeling. He asked, "Are you the descendant of Yuan Tianshi?"

Ye Fan's heart trembled, he felt the dangerous aura emanating from the old man. He smiled and did not directly admit or answer, but used his divine sense to say to Zixia and Li Heishui: "You can follow me, but don't get too close, or you might get hurt. This old guy is very powerful."

Li Heishui was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Could it be that this old fellow really dares to kill someone in public?"

Zixia explained: "The cruelty of the source art duel is far beyond your imagination. Some source art duels are not only a test of value, but also a matter of life and death. A powerful source master can use the power of heaven and earth to suppress everything, and his methods are extremely terrifying."

Ye Fan nodded and reminded again: "You don't have to intervene, just watch from the side." He didn't want Zixia and Li Heishui to be affected by this confrontation.

The Blood-Tear Jade Bamboo is pure white and sparkling. When the breeze blows, it makes a rustling sound and the jade leaves flutter like falling blood and tears.

The bamboo forest is so dense that it blocks the sun, but this place is not dark at all and is bright and shining.

Ye Fan stepped forward steadily. Facing the people of the Tuoba family, his eyes were calm and deep. He asked, "Which senior is willing to learn from me about the origin technique?"

Before he finished speaking, a kind-looking old man came out. It was Tuoba Changsheng who had just talked with Ye Fan. As Tuoba Chang's grandfather, he had long been famous in the source art world and was respected as the master of source art.

After learning his identity, Ye Fan remained calm and said, "Senior, how do we set our rules?"

Tuoba Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "If you win this duel, in addition to the bet of one million jin of source, you must also add the rare treasures cut out by the opponent."

Ye Fan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I want."

However, Tuoba Changsheng shook his head and added: "I haven't finished yet."

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh? Senior, do you have anything else to say?"

Tuoba Changsheng smiled and said, "One million jin of source is not a small amount. It would be too hasty to bet on a stone. It is difficult to truly show the excitement of the source duel. I suggest that each of us choose three stones to duel. How about it?"

Ye Fan thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement. People make mistakes, and horses stumble. Such a rule is more secure for both parties and can better demonstrate their true level.

"Then please choose the stone first, senior." Ye Fan bowed.

Tuoba Changsheng did not refuse and stepped into the crystal clear Polygonatum forest first.

The Tianzihao Stone Garden was bustling with people. The older generation of strong men and the elites of the Saint Son level followed one after another, watching the stone selection process with sharp eyes, as if trying to get some clues from it. Zixia also wandered around in this lively stone garden, trying to find Yao Xi's figure in the bustling crowd.

Thinking of this, Zixia couldn't help but smile. It was ironic that the Holy Son of Yaoguang was still outside trying to hunt down Ye Fan, while Ye Fan, the real boss, was already enjoying a good life in their old camp. However, Zixia was also puzzled. She wondered if the Holy Son of Yaoguang was also using this incident as a cover to secretly plan something unspeakable. After all, the mysterious Heaven Devouring Demon Jar incident was very likely his masterpiece.

Ye Fan strolled leisurely among the blood-tear jade bamboos, his eyes moving among the countless strange stones. He was not in a hurry to make a choice, but wanted to have a general understanding of the entire stone garden first.

In the Tianzihao Stone Garden, there are many strange stones, each of which exudes an extraordinary aura and is priceless. One of the priceless stones is priced at 120,000 kilograms of pure source, and it gleams with an attractive luster in the sun. Just as Ye Fan's eyes passed over the strange stone, he suddenly felt a dazzle, and a seemingly ordinary stone in front of him suddenly caught his attention. He walked forward quickly, and the purple light in his eyes penetrated into the stone like a substance, trying to see through the mystery inside.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. The strange stone suddenly broke, and a red dragon rushed out of it, shining brightly, and rushed straight to Ye Fan's chest. This sudden attack shocked everyone, and only Ye Fan himself understood that this was a trap set for him by Tuoba Changsheng.

Tuoba Changsheng had tampered with this strange stone. The "red fire" contained in it was transformed into dragon energy by the other party's profound source technique. It looked like a divine source, but it was actually a murderous intent. Once touched, it would break apart, and the endless essence would turn into a deadly knife.

Ye Fan quickly retreated and avoided the attack of the red dragon. At this moment, the cruelty and thrill of the source technique duel was fully displayed.

"Swoosh!" A golden light broke through the air, and the golden elf danced in the air. It opened its mouth and inhaled, and the essence of the red fire source turned into a divine light and sank into its mouth. The elf smacked its lips in satisfaction, and its big eyes flickered and sparkled, looking extremely cute.

"Haha, you've done a great job, little thing!" Li Heishui laughed at this, but the golden elf didn't appreciate it at all. It bared its teeth and claws at him and Ye Fan, flew away angrily, and finally landed on Zixia's shoulder. This scene made everyone present laugh, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Instantly, those monks who had not seen the true appearance of the divine silkworm gathered around, their eyes focused on the golden little creature, curiously and surprised, "Is this the strange living thing cut out from the divine source?"

Even Tuoba Changsheng walked over slowly. He stared at the little golden creature with a frown, as if he was trying to identify its origins.

Everyone present was so excited that they were all waiting for the old man's answer. Even the little golden creature seemed to be attracted, it tilted its head and listened quietly to Tuoba Changsheng's story.

Tuoba Changsheng looked at it carefully for a moment, finally nodded, and said: "This should be a divine silkworm from the ancient times."

The whole audience was shocked when this was said. How could it be a silkworm? The golden creature was so majestic, like a young dragon, but it was said to be a worm. This was really unbelievable.

The little golden creature seemed to have noticed people's discussions. It blinked its big eyes, as if thinking, or protesting. It was obvious that it did not fully agree with Tuoba Changsheng's statement.

However, although everyone was puzzled, they did not dare to question Tuoba Changsheng's judgment. After all, he was a transcendent figure in the world of source arts, and it was impossible for him to make a random statement.

"This golden little creature looks like a baby dragon no matter how you look at it. It has nothing to do with silkworms." The little nun in white whispered. Although her voice was small, it was particularly clear in the silent air.

Tuoba Changsheng smiled slightly and explained: "In fact, this creature can also be called a beast. However, a Yuan Tianshi in the past saw that it was different from others, so he called it a divine silkworm, and this name has been passed down."

"Why is this?" Everyone was even more confused and someone asked.

Tuoba Changsheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "According to that Yuan Tianshi, the first form of this creature is indeed a divine silkworm. The reason why the word "divine" is added before the word "silkworm" is because it is too extraordinary to be called a divine insect. This creature is very strange and has the ability to evolve continuously."

"In its initial form, it is golden and translucent, feeds on the source, and has a long lifespan. But what is even more amazing is that when it completes its first metamorphosis, it will leave the realm of a silkworm and transform into a small golden snake."

In its lifetime, it can undergo up to nine transformations, and each transformation is a new life, like a nirvana, and its strength will soar.

However, for this kind of creature, it is usually good enough to be able to transform once or twice, because the conditions for each transformation are very harsh.

"What kind of existence will the Divine Silkworm become after its Nine Transformations?" someone asked.

A trace of awe flashed in Tuoba Changsheng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It will become an unimaginably powerful creature. Even in the ancient times, it will be able to roam the heavens and the earth, and no one can stop it."

"A divine insect can transform to that level?!" Many people were a little bit unconvinced.

"Indeed." Tuoba Changsheng nodded.

These secrets came from a Yuan Tianshi in the past. He traveled through the ancient veins of mountains and rivers, dug countless large mines, and had the most authoritative understanding of ancient creatures.

At this point, Tuoba Changsheng suddenly changed the subject, staring at the golden creature on Zixia's shoulder with burning eyes, and said, "My friend, I am willing to pay 800,000 kilograms of source stones to buy this divine silkworm! If it follows me, it will have endless divine source to eat, which will better accelerate its transformation!"

Before Zixia could say no, Jiang Yifei quickly stood in front of her and said firmly, "Senior Tuoba, this divine silkworm is destined to be with my sister, and has been taken into the possession of my Jiang family."

Tuoba Changsheng could only sigh after hearing this. Even though he was a master of source arts, he did not dare to easily become an enemy of the ancient family.

The monks present were all shocked when they heard the news. They cast their eyes on the golden little creature again, their eyes full of surprise. If this seemingly ordinary little creature could really complete the nine transformations, it would become an unparalleled existence, which was unimaginable.

Beside her, Ji Ziyue chuckled. She took out a divine source bean, walked towards Zixia, and said softly, "Sister, this little guy is so cute! Can I touch it?" After that, she gently shook the divine source bean in her hand, trying to attract the attention of the divine silkworm.

However, the divine silkworm didn't seem to buy it. It ran to Ji Ziyue happily, but after eating the divine source beans, it quickly flew back to Zixia's shoulder, leaving Ji Ziyue empty-handed.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yilin, who was far away, couldn't help but take out a small piece of divine source and came over curiously, wanting to see the demeanor of the divine silkworm. Ji Haoyue and Xia Yiming also approached and communicated with Jiang Yifei.

"Brother Yifei, we have never seen this sister before! Where is Caixuan?" Ji Haoyue asked curiously.

"It's not easy to take care of my sister!" Xia Yiming sighed.

The two of them were talking about taking care of their sister, but Jiang Yifei was smiling bitterly.

"Do you know? That's not my sister, that's my ancestor!"
