Chapter 1793: Chapter 1660: Making an Exception for You
One night without words, early the next morning, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf clandestinely found the Law Enforcement Elder, Lan Yingfei.
Lan Yingfei had already received instructions from the Imperial Academy Director, Monk Dao Yan and said nothing, directly leading one wolf and one man to the teleportation hall of the Immortal Academy.
This is one of Immortal Academy’s Forbidden Lands, belonging to the Academy’s secret, the Transmission Array Platform can teleport to any important location within the Five Domains.
Of course, the Western Region is an exception.
The Western Region never interacts with cultivators from the other Four Great Regions, and both the Demon Sect and Buddhist Sect in the Western Region are adept at brainwashing. There were strong cultivators who once entered the Western Region, but never returned, rumored to have been converted, though whether it was by the Buddhist Sect or Demon Sect remains unknown.
Soon, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf followed Lan Yingfei to the teleportation hall of the Immortal Academy.
Ye Fan was already very familiar with this place, where in the entire hall lay numerous array platforms, each leading to different areas.
On an array platform marked with the Imperial Academy, Lan Yingfei placed the spirit stones needed to activate the platform, then let Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf stand atop it to activate the array patterns.
"Buzz!"
A flash of light, countless beams emitted by the spirit stones formed a domain gate, and Ye Fan waved to Lan Yingfei, stepping into the domain gate with Bai Yan wolf to commence the void crossing.
With Bai Yan wolf’s deception array patterns, no one felt he had left the Immortal Academy, still fooled by the Old Fox into waiting.
They thought Ye Fan was struggling with a choice, given it was a very difficult decision, a bit more time was normal.
Little did they know, Ye Fan was no longer at the academy, but traversing the void heading towards the Central Domain’s Imperial Academy.
The void isn’t always dark and lonely; there are also some splendid radiances, each with the power to slay Lord Realm strong people.
In the void, there’s no concept of time, appearing as a moment, yet also as if endless time passed, Ye Fan’s view brightens, stepping out from the void already within the Imperial Academy.
"Ye Fan, over here!"
Just as Ye Fan appeared in the Imperial Academy, he heard Monk Dao Yan’s voice ring in his ears, looking towards the voice, Monk Dao Yan and a group of teachers were standing there by a magnificent building, gazing at him.
The news of Ye Fan’s arrival was sent yesterday, causing a shock across the entire Imperial Academy.
"So young yet possessing such cultivation, truly unbelievable!"
"If only he had chosen our Imperial Academy at that time... what a pity!"
"This boy, able to make the Demon Clan’s younger generation dare not battle with an early Lord Realm cultivation, truly defying the heavens, possibly the sole protagonist of this golden era!"
The teachers from Immortal Academy marveled at Ye Fan’s superlative power and the achievements he attained in War City, and simultaneously regretted Ye Fan’s past choice for Immortal Academy.
Regret aside, now the entire Human Race shares a common enemy and cannot quarrel internally anymore, the stronger Ye Fan becomes, the better for the Human Race, which they understand.
For the sake of the Human Race, they’ve already discarded sectarian prejudices, whether within Immortal Academy or Imperial Academy, ultimately it’s all part of human strength.
Some Imperial Academy disciples did not share such high awareness, some felt Ye Fan’s existence completely suppressed the academy’s momentum, causing particular dissatisfaction, inevitably saying some cold remarks.
Of course, some disciples considered the situation from a broader human perspective, thinking Ye Fan’s presence wasn’t a bad thing, whether Immortal Academy or Imperial Academy, east wind overpowers, or west wind overpowers east wind, ultimately it’s internal human affairs.
From another viewpoint, Ye Fan defeated the Demon Clan, securing peace and stability for mankind, this transcends mere sect rivalry, turning into a grudge between two races.
Considering from this angle, Ye Fan’s existence is undoubtedly fortunate for the Human Race, he is the Human Race’s hero.
"Ye Fan, sincerely thank you for your outstanding contributions in the battle against the Demon Clan, you’re the hero and future hope of the Human Race, worthy of our Imperial Academy’s exception!"
An old teacher from the Imperial Academy approached, patting Ye Fan’s shoulder and said.
"These are what the younger generation should do, seniors don’t need to thank me. I believe, even if I hadn’t done this, our Human Race would certainly have won the competition, as we have three Emperor’s sons who haven’t acted yet, I merely stole their thunder, hopefully they won’t be upset." Ye Fan joked.
"Hahaha... You rascal can really handle people, perfectly suits my taste, pity you’re not my Imperial Academy disciple, otherwise I’d surely teach you everything." The old teacher laughed.
"Even if he’s not my Immortal Academy disciple, don’t hide anything, considering he represents our entire Human Race’s fate." Monk Dao Yan smilingly said.
"Indeed, Ye Fan, as long as you wish to learn, I’ll impart everything to you, I can’t let my life’s learning be lost." The old teacher laughed heartily.
His lifespan is already limited, before dying, surely he will pass on his life’s learning, moreover now he is teaching other disciples cultivation within the Imperial Academy.
Seeing both the courtyard and teachers regard Ye Fan differently, some Imperial Academy disciples felt more discontent, thinking the teachers were unfair, any ultimate skill should be taught to them first.
Especially Imperial Academy’s Liang Boyao and You Yunxiao, their eyes turning red, if they weren’t aware they couldn’t contend with Ye Fan, they would’ve challenged Ye Fan on the spot to erase past humiliation.
Within the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm, both were thoroughly plundered, stripped of clothes, set in such a posture, becoming a lifetime stain and disgrace.
```
"The Old Bastard has already told me about your matter. It was Elder Lin’s decision to open the Emperor’s Secret Realm for you, and he has something to say to you. Follow me!"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Monk Dao Yan said to Ye Fan.
"How is Elder Lin? Is he alright?"
Thinking of Elder Lin’s desperate battle to slay the newly promoted Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan, Chang Hao, and the severe injuries he sustained, Ye Fan couldn’t help but ask worriedly.
"His Primordial Life is damaged, and his essence has suffered significant harm. He is preparing to go into seclusion to heal, to restore his Primordial Life and essence. Before he goes into seclusion, he wants to see you."
Monk Dao Yan said with a heavy expression.
Elder Lin is one of the foundations of the Imperial Academy. His injuries have made the entire Imperial Academy tense. After Elder Lin returned from the Outer Battlefield, the Imperial Academy Director Monk Dao Yan consulted with Yayun Peak of the Treasure Pavilion, offering a great price to acquire Divine Medicine that can extend life, determined to preserve Elder Lin’s life no matter what.
Upon his return, the Imperial Academy devoted almost all its resources to Elder Lin, helping him restore his damaged essence.
Outside a small, inconspicuous stone house in a corner of the Imperial Academy, Ye Fan saw the old man who had once saved his life.
At this moment, Elder Lin was sitting on a recliner basking in the sun. His graying hair was a bit disheveled by the wind, his face was lined with wrinkles, and his eyes emitted a murky light, showing no different from common elderly people in the fields, not even a ripple of Divine Power could be sensed.
"Youth is indeed good; you have plenty of it to squander!"
Seeing Ye Fan approach, Elder Lin waved him over, speaking with some emotion.
"Elder Lin, you talk, I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave first."
After leading Ye Fan here, Monk Dao Yan bowed to Elder Lin and slowly retreated.
"Sit down, let’s chat casually."
Elder Lin weakly pointed to the stone drum beside him, indicating for Ye Fan to sit down.
Ye Fan nodded, walked to the stone drum, sat down, and for a while, didn’t know how to start the conversation. The two just quietly basked in the sun.
"Young man, managing to win a thousand years of peace this time, you deserve great credit—if you hadn’t defeated the younger generation of the Demon Clan, I’m afraid it would be all devastated by war now."
After a long pause, Elder Lin finally spoke slowly, praising Ye Fan’s achievements this time.
"It’s all thanks to you, Monk Director, and the Old Bastard seniors; what merit does a young boy like me have?" Ye Fan responded humbly.
"There is merit, certainly. It was you who, after our Human Race suffered two consecutive defeats, strongly intimidated the Demon Clan, forcing that old fellow Chi Lin to change course."
Elder Lin chuckled and continued, "However, the current situation is still very tense. The Demon Clan harbors ambitions and constantly seeks control of this world, to restore their former glory.
This time, though they have temporarily retreated, they will never willingly stop here. War between the two clans will break out sooner or later. When that time comes, whether the Human Race can remain the rulers of this world will depend on you young people."
Ye Fan remained silent, unsure how to respond to such words, knowing full well that Elder Lin spoke the truth—the Demon Clan would certainly not give up easily.
Right now, the Human Race can only enhance their overall strength desperately to resist the future invasion of the Demon Clan, safeguarding their dignity and status.
At that moment, Ye Fan felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier.
Even though he wasn’t from this world, and its fate seemed unrelated to him, he still felt the power of trust at that moment.
These words from Elder Lin were undoubtedly a hint for him not to relax, as danger could come at any moment, and only constant preparation can prevent being caught off guard.
The disaster suffered by the Xuanwu Sect last time was because the incident happened suddenly without thorough preparation beforehand, leading to tragedy.
If preparations had been made in advance, perhaps this human catastrophe wouldn’t have happened.
"The Demon Clan is only a small danger; the greater danger comes from human-shaped creatures. I’ve heard you once teamed up with others to strike one down using Heavenly Tribulation—was that true?" Elder Lin paused for a moment before continuing.
"Indeed!"
Ye Fan nodded, confirming the event in the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm, a battle that made him truly realize the strength of human-shaped creatures.
"Historically, there have been several dark turmoils caused by the invasion of human-shaped creatures. These demons have inflicted severe damage on this world, and in the distant future, they will likely descend again, plunging humanity into another dark turmoil. When that time comes, it will be a disaster for the entire world. So, you and other young cultivators need to keep striving, with no room for complacency. If human-shaped creatures invade again and we have no one to counter them, this world will be utterly destroyed!" Elder Lin said worriedly, looking at Ye Fan.
"What exactly are these human-shaped creatures? I have felt a rich death aura on them before—are they death creatures?"
Ye Fan asked Elder Lin.
