On the Mighty Sky Continent, everyone pursued the cultivation of martial arts. The weak's fists could be broken into pieces, and the strong's strength was as strong as a mountain. There were even mighty figures who could cut through the void, surpass reincarnation, and even be immortal.

On the mainland, there were numerous sects and fights. There were countless martial arts techniques and cultivation methods, as well as countless ancient temples. Everyone wanted to go against the will of heaven and live forever in this world.

In the easternmost part of the continent, there was a small city called Sunset City, which belonged to the Xuantian Dynasty, one of the many dynasties on the continent.

At this moment, in the Ye Family's Northern Yard in Sunset City.

What he saw was a shabby thatched cottage. Inside the house, Ye Fan sat cross-legged with a small black wooden box in his hand. He was lost in his memory.

"Uncle, I'm 16 years old. According to the family rules, I should go to the secret region to receive martial arts techniques."

"Your meridians have been destroyed. Don't think about martial arts anymore. Let's do business with your father!"

"This is the rule set by the ancestors of the Ye Family. Do you want to disobey it, uncle?"

"The rules are decided by person, not trash. Three days later, it will be the day of the martial arts test. If you can prove yourself, I will give you this opportunity!"

Thinking of this, Ye Fan turned his gaze to the little wooden box and slowly opened it.

Inside the wooden box was a small black pill. Although it was plain-looking and had a pungent smell, it was a peerless holy object for Ye Fan, and he placed his last hope on it.

Ye Fan carefully held the pill in his hand. After examining it for a while, he still swallowed it.

In an instant, a wave of heat came from all the bones in his body and flowed into those broken meridians. Unexpectedly, it did not immediately disappear. Instead, it slowly gathered and turned into a drop of Yuan Power.

"This pill is really reliable. Ye Mu is really capable!" Ye Fan couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

After regaining his strength, Ye Fan quickly stepped out of his room and rushed to the martial arts arena.

The Ye Clan was a big clan in Sunset City. It occupied an extremely large area and had a total of five major areas. Although Ye Fan lived in the Northern Academy at the lowest level, he was quite close to the martial arts arena.

After a while, Ye Fan arrived at his destination. At this moment, the martial arts arena was already crowded with people. Today was the day of the martial arts test. Almost everyone from the Ye Family came here to witness the growth of the juniors.

When Ye Fan arrived, the juniors of the Ye Family had already lined up in the square. All of them were in high spirits and wanted to show their skills in front of the elders.

Like an outsider, Ye Fan stood in the last row and shot a cold glance at the front.

There was a high platform in front of them, and there were always some elders sitting on it. There was a one-meter-thick stone pillar below the platform, named the Mystic Sky Stone Pillar, which was a tool used by the Xuan Empire to test the strength of cultivators.

As long as the power hit the stone pillar, it could show the corresponding pattern to distinguish the realm.

"The first one, Ye Meng!"

A white-bearded elder stood beside the stone pillar and announced the name of the candidate, causing the crowd to exclaim in surprise.

As the only son of the head of the family, Ye Feihong, and the person who had the greatest expectations of the younger generation, Ye Meng should be the first to take the test.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man dressed in black walked up to him. He looked at Ye Fan, who was at the back of the group, and smiled mysteriously. He cupped his hands and said, "Ye Meng is not talented. He is showing off."

"Bang!"

Ye Meng's huge fist violently smashed into the Mystic Sky stone pillar, causing the stone pillar to tremble.

With the swaying, two spherical patterns gradually appeared on the stone pillar and kept rotating.

"This... this is the second stage of the origin realm!"

The surroundings immediately boiled. Even a few of the elders on the high platform stood up and looked down at Ye Meng with admiration.

Seeing the scene on the stone pillar, Ye Fan's pupils contracted violently, and then he returned to normal.

"Not bad, you're the second person to reach the origin realm. You're truly worth teaching!"

The elder in charge of the test gave his praise and continued to report, "Next, Ye Mu!"

A slightly fat young man walked out of the group and looked at Ye Fan, who was at the back. He nodded slightly, but his eyes were somewhat evasive. Ye Fan didn't care about it and smiled at him.

This was his childhood playmate. Even at this moment, they were still best friends.

"Bang!"

Ye Mu's fist also landed on the stone pillar. However, his movements were much smaller than Ye Meng's. As the stone pillar trembled, six thick lines were revealed.

"He barely passed the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm!" The elder said flatly and then reported the next test result.

The results of the next few were not too bad. They were all floating above the sixth level of the Refinement Realm.

"Next, Ye Linglong!"

As his voice fell, a delicate and pure girl dressed in a light-colored veil slowly walked out. Her graceful figure and pretty face attracted the attention of most of the teenagers present. Even Ye Fan was no exception. However, there was a different emotion in his eyes.

Ye Linglong looked at Ye Fan with a complicated expression in her eyes. It was hard to tell what she meant. In the end, she turned around and smiled at Ye Meng, who was at the forefront. Then she punched the Mystic Sky Stone Pillar.

"Ninth level of the Refinement Realm, not bad. You are worthy of being the genius young lady of our Ye Clan. You and Ye Meng really match each other very well!"

A rare smile appeared on the elder's face as he boasted.

Hearing this, Ye Fan's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help clenching his hands.

Once upon a time, the elder had also said something like this to him. His former cultivation playmate had thrown himself into someone else's arms. This had to be said to be an extremely tragic thing.

"Next, Ye Fan!"

When Ye Fan's name appeared, the surroundings became unusually quiet. The geniuses of the past, the first person in the Ye Clan to reach the origin realm, had lost their former glory. This caused Ye Fan to be mocked and mocked.

Now, everyone was not even interested in mocking him. They had completely seen him as a good-for-nothing.

As he walked toward the stone pillar, Ye Fan found that his feet were trembling. He had rarely been so excited.

Uncle's words, which was also the promise of the patriarch, appeared in his ears again. As long as he could prove himself in front of the stone pillar, no matter what realm he was in, he could go to the secret region.

And the secret region was probably the only chance for him to recover his body in this life. At that time, he would still be the first person in the Ye Family.

He slowly raised his right fist, which was like the weight of a thousand gold coins. This was the moment to decide one's fate. Whether he could turn over or not was decided by this move.

Ye Fan's right arm was filled with the little bit of yuan qi that came from the pill inside his body. He struck the stone pillar with all his strength.

"Puff!"

The seemingly fierce attack only brought a slight sound, as if they were flirting with each other.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Ye Fan's fist slowly slid down from the stone pillar, as if his arm had been dislocated.

And his entire right arm was like a rose branch in full bloom, exploding with blood.

"Ah..."

Before Ye Fan could think about it, he felt a piercing pain in his body. The already scarred meridians in his body exploded one by one, and the broken dantian was also falling apart. It would disappear in a short time.

"Ye Fan, no realm!"

The elder's disdainful words caused Ye Fan's qi and blood to attack his heart. He immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood that stained half of the stone pillar.

Seeing Ye Fan's miserable appearance, the people around him did not pity him. Instead, they laughed at him again after many years, as if they were mocking Ye Fan's stupid behavior in recent years.

No matter how much the eagle struggled, it still couldn't fly into the blue sky. Especially this time, Ye Fan was afraid that he would be smashed into pieces.

"Ye Mu, what's going on?"

Ye Fan ignored the noise around him. His gaze was like a sharp knife as it pierced towards Ye Mu, who was cowering by the side, and he asked in a deep voice.
