Chapter 1924: Chapter 1920: Disperse
After Nuwa realized that Ye Fan refused to form an alliance with her, she sneered and said, "Ye Fan, it seems you really are beyond saving. I originally thought you could recognize the situation for what it is, but now it looks like you’re very determined. In that case I won’t argue with you. From now on, you can confront Pan Gu on your own; I won’t get involved in your conflict. Even if you manage to save the Heavenly Tribulation, you’re still doomed to die!"
Ye Fan said, "Whether I die or not doesn’t seem to be something you need to meddle in."
Nuwa glanced at Ye Fan, then her body vanished on the spot, leaving only Ye Fan and Pan Gu in the teahouse.
Pan Gu shook his head and said, "Perhaps you should have agreed to her proposal. If you could join forces with her, you might still be able to oppose me. But now it seems... you lack that level of awareness, so you’re still choosing to face me alone. Maybe just as she said, after you save the Heavenly Tribulation, I might kill you... I won’t promise not to kill you."
"No matter what you say, I have my own judgment and won’t listen to you." Ye Fan said, "Even if you want to kill me, we’ll see whether, after I save the Heavenly Tribulation, you can still kill me. By then I’ll also kill you and become the master of this universe. At that time, there won’t be anyone who can threaten my position."
Pan Gu smiled and said, "In you, I see the me of the past. I appreciate you very much, but unfortunately the person you want to kill is me. I won’t accept that, so we can only fight to the bitter end!"
The two faced each other head-on; Ye Fan felt the immense pressure Pan Gu exerted on him. He couldn’t help sighing inwardly that Pan Gu’s cultivation was simply too high, to a point he couldn’t shake. If he wanted to kill Pan Gu, he would have to cultivate rapidly and also pin his hopes on obtaining a massive amount of energy within the Heavenly Tribulation.
For Ye Fan, all of this was extremely difficult.
What exactly the Heavenly Tribulation was, Ye Fan had no idea; he couldn’t even begin to guess. If he wanted to kill Pan Gu, he would have to rely on this Heavenly Tribulation that he knew nothing about at all. Ye Fan also felt that his own Destiny was a little too shrouded in uncertainty.
"You can go. I won’t interfere with your control over the entire Pan Gu Secret Realm. Until you finish saving the Heavenly Tribulation, you will remain the master of the cultivation world and the Immortal World. I’m handing that authority over to you, but only temporarily." Pan Gu said, "After you’ve saved the Heavenly Tribulation, I’ll strip all of this from you. You should also understand the consequences of all this!"
...
...
Pan Gu also left, and Ye Fan went down the teahouse alone.
Sang Yuan was waiting respectfully outside with people. When she saw Ye Fan come out by himself, she immediately had a premonition that Pan Gu must have left.
"Young Master, is there any trouble that this slave can help you resolve?" Sang Yuan stepped forward and saluted.
Behind Sang Yuan stood the main leaders of the seven great sects. The Sect Master of the Diyuan Sect, Ling, was still missing, while the Sect Master of the Tianxuan Sect, Hua Wu, had already been killed by Ye Fan. The others, including Huang Ze, were all present.
At this moment, Hai Wuzi of the Xinghe Sect also walked over, clearly wanting to inquire. Ye Fan waved his hand and said, "All of you may go back. What happened today isn’t such a big deal. As for what you saw, it may not be the truth. Right now it’s just an extension of an illusion, nothing more!"
Ye Fan deliberately spoke in a vague way, leaving people to ponder and speculate on the meaning of his words.
Sang Yuan also didn’t know whether the Pan Gu inside was real or fake, and she also had no idea that Nuwa later arrived.
Just then, someone stepped out from behind Sang Yuan—it was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. When Ye Fan saw her, he was somewhat angry, because up to now, he felt that the only person who could have awakened Pan Gu and Fu Xi was this Mysterious Woman.
After hearing Ye Fan’s words, Hai Wuzi said loudly, "Alliance Hierarch Ye has already explained the situation. People from the various sects may disperse for now. Don’t linger here and disturb Alliance Hierarch Ye!"
The members of the various sects also knew the gap between their cultivation and Ye Fan’s was too great, so they all withdrew.
Ye Fan glanced at Sang Yuan and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, then waved his hand and said, "You two, come with me."
With that, Ye Fan rose and headed toward the Hundred Immortals Building. Sang Yuan and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman followed behind, and the three of them entered the Hundred Immortals Building together.
The top floor of the Hundred Immortals Building was where Tianxuan Sect’s Wu Ding and Ping Han resided. When Ye Fan descended there, the two were somewhat surprised by his arrival. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman asked, "Ye Fan, who was that person really? Don’t tell me he was actually Pan Gu?"
"You mean to say you don’t know whether he was or not?"
As Ye Fan spoke, he walked over and sat down in front of the main chair. Sang Yuan, very tactful, moved over and knelt before Ye Fan. Wu Ding and Ping Han exchanged a glance, then also walked over and finally knelt in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan closed his eyes and said coldly, "Precisely because I feel my current cultivation is insufficient, I need to cultivate even more to raise my strength. Only then can I kill Pan Gu and Fu Xi. The cultivation of those two is truly terrifying, and that’s not even counting Nuwa, who has been eyeing me like a tiger. Nuwa is no small threat either, but I can feel that my cultivation is already very close to her level of power."
"Are you joking? Ye Fan, do you really think you have the ability to challenge those three?" The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman still looked incredulous.
Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the Mysterious Woman, and said, "Come here."
The Mysterious Woman was taken aback, and very quickly realized what Ye Fan’s command implied. She was furious, but still walked forward as ordered. Before she reached him, Sang Yuan had already moved aside, leaving the spot for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
When the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman knelt before Ye Fan and, just like Ping Han and Wu Ding, used a special manner to please him, Ye Fan looked at her with a distinctly mocking expression. He reached out and stroked her cheek, saying, "You should be very clear that right now you’re merely one of my women, also a cultivation cauldron for my training. Anything beyond that has nothing to do with you. If you insist on meddling in my affairs, then you’re just asking for trouble yourself! For now I won’t make any moves against you, but you also need to understand your situation!"
The Mysterious Woman said nothing; she kept her head lowered, her eyes already closed. She didn’t want to use her eyes to feel the humiliation before her.
Ye Fan suddenly stood up, startling Ping Han, and then walked over to the window. Looking outside, he said, "The Pan Gu Secret Realm was originally created by Pan Gu. If he wants to take it back, I don’t particularly mind. But if his existence threatens my life, then that’s a problem. I absolutely won’t allow him to disrupt my life in any way."
Sang Yuan walked over and said softly, "Then what does Young Master plan to do?"
"What else can I do?" Ye Fan turned around, scooped Sang Yuan up in his arms, and headed toward the nearby floor mat, saying, "I can only hurry and cultivate until I surpass these people. Only then can I truly seize control of my own Destiny. Right now, I can’t afford to rest for even a moment!"
