Chapter 1860: Chapter 1856: What Should I Do?
Ye Fan looked at the woman before him without saying a word, his expression filled with a grim color that made even the disciples of the Great Cold Sect, including Master Ming Ye, find it somewhat terrifying.
"Ye Fan, what do you want to do? Do you intend to stay here and cultivate, to let yourself undergo catalytic cultivation, entering such a point of no return?" Master Ming Ye asked.
Ye Fan did not answer, temporarily ignoring Master Ming Ye and the others. He moved in a higher direction, reaching the top of the main hall, then broke through the temple’s dome and headed directly towards the energy source of the Great Cold Sect’s cultivation. What he saw was a massive surge of energy shooting out from an area of emptiness, and it was precisely this force that had allowed the disciples of the Great Cold Sect to cultivate over tens of thousands of years without ascending. From the very start, this cultivation energy was a deception.
"Young Hero Ye, why did you come to our Great Cold Sect’s sacred ground?" Zhu Nian asked curiously as he followed Ye Fan out.
Ye Fan said, "I just want to know what’s really going on with your Great Cold Sect’s cultivation. If your disciples from the start were immersed in this deception, then I assure you, some force has been exploiting your training, and the real purpose of this energy source is not to aid you in cultivation..."
"What do you mean, Young Hero Ye?" Zhu Nian seemed a bit puzzled.
Ye Fan used probing force to attack. His strength could suppress this energy source, and after his power directly broke through the energy source, countless energy like torrents shot out. It felt like a backlash force, even though it couldn’t cause fatal damage to Ye Fan, its impact was nonetheless substantial.
"Ah?" Seeing this, Zhu Nian appeared somewhat frightened, "This... Young Hero Ye, you should refrain from self-immolation, nobody knows how powerful our sect’s Spiritual Energy source really is. We never dare provoke this energy source ourselves..."
Ye Fan said nothing and turned back to the hall. By then, Song Mei had already stood up, her gaze towards Ye Fan and Master Ming Ye still filled with hostility.
Ye Fan said, "I need three disciples to cultivate with me, aside from Song Mei, Bing Xuan and one other..."
"Alliance Hierarch Ye, why do you only require these two? Song Mei has significant cultivation, but her cultivation has already stabilized, whereas Bing Xuan’s cultivation is insufficient to aid you..." Zhu Nian asked curiously.
"Regarding who I choose to cultivate and for what reason, there’s no need to explain to your Great Cold Sect. You only need to choose whether to comply or not!" Ye Fan said coldly, "After I finish my cultivation, I will try to help your sect’s disciples find a way to overcome the cultivation dilemma. As for how certain that is, I cannot say for sure, but I’ll certainly strive to help you through difficult times!"
"Thank you so much, Young Hero Ye!" Zhu Nian bowed, then signaled to Song Mei. Although Song Mei felt reluctant, she still led Bing Xuan towards the rear hall. It was clear that the three people Ye Fan needed did not include Master Ming Ye, which meant another person needed choosing—previously Elder Xia and Jing Ning were not part of Ye Fan’s list.
Meanwhile, Zhu Nian seemed eager, though she was weak and old, and had lost her charm, she still hoped to gain Ye Fan’s favor, but unfortunately, Ye Fan showed no interest in her.
Ye Fan said, "Go find a female disciple who just started your sect’s cultivation, I want to know the impact that this level of cultivation has on you."
After speaking, Ye Fan proceeded towards the rear hall first, followed by Master Ming Ye, who chose to accompany Ye Fan voluntarily since she didn’t want to fall behind in such matters, being able to cultivate with Ye Fan was considered a significant opportunity, the best way to enhance her cultivation. If she didn’t seize it and let the Great Cold Sect’s disciples take it, she felt she’d be losing.
Therefore, even if Master Ming Ye had to use a thick-skinned approach, she was determined to follow Ye Fan inside, and Ye Fan wouldn’t stop her, because he couldn’t deny that Master Ming Ye was the best candidate for his cultivation.
...
...
Ye Fan was cultivating in a small, almost wormhole-like void in the Left Domain star system, to further consolidate his power and prepare to re-enter the Pan Gu Secret Realm.
But Ye Fan’s ultimate goal was to awaken the elemental power within him, to once again use a strong elemental force to control the entire realm of cultivation, though right now it still seemed quite challenging.
In the Pan Gu Secret Realm, many were still searching for Ye Fan, while Sang Yuan shifted her focus outside the secret realm, intending to lead people to search outside the Pan Gu Secret Realm, trying to find Ye Fan. For Sang Yuan, although she harbored ambitions of dominating the entire Pan Gu Secret Realm, she was also loyal to Ye Fan, without thoughts of establishing her own supremacy, she simply wanted to help Ye Fan realize this potential to master the world. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Divine Envoy, the young master has been missing for two hundred days according to the Pan Gu calendar, even if calculated outside, it’s over twenty days now, where exactly has he gone?" a female cultivator asked nervously.
Sang Yuan said, "The young master’s disappearance requires you to maintain order within the Pan Gu Secret Realm. If you can’t do that, you offer no value to him, I can help him eliminate you all!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
At this moment, Sang Yuan was no longer as calm as when Ye Fan was present. She knows her current strength isn’t sufficient to control the entire Pan Gu Secret Realm; otherwise, she would have integrated all seven major sects over several millennia without waiting for Ye Fan to appear. She now feels her subordinates are becoming restless, and she must speak in a stern manner to them.
"Divine Envoy, we are your believers, and the young master’s believers, why would you want to eliminate us? We are devoted to serving you!" the female cultivator said respectfully.
No matter how respectful the female cultivator’s words, it sounded like a massive threat to Sang Yuan. She cannot enter the second-level secret realm, nor does she know its condition.
She thought to herself, "Could it be the young master is still in the second-level secret realm? Besides this explanation, there seems to be no other reason why the young master is missing, yet his power hasn’t diminished, and those of us who signed a Blood Oath with him aren’t greatly affected... If only the second-level secret realm’s gate could open, but only cultivators from ancient times with significant power can do that, and it seems only the Holy Mother, and Xi He have such power, what should I do?"
