Chapter 1862: Chapter 1858: Master Mingye’s Arrogance
Ye Fan’s cultivation has partially recovered, but it is merely an improvement in spiritual energy, without any relation to his elemental power cultivation. At this moment, the elemental power within him remains sealed, showing no signs of being mobilized.
"Ye Fan, it seems your cultivation has not reached its peak!" Ming Ye Shanggong said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You seem quite pleased, hoping my cultivation stays this way, posing no major threat to you?" Ye Fan asked.
"Say whatever you want! Whether your cultivation is high or not, I cannot defeat you—that’s a terrifying fact. I can’t handle you, so I’ll just wait for you to self-destruct! Haha, maybe it’d take hundreds of thousands of years!" Ming Ye Shanggong’s words carried a hint of self-deprecation.
At this moment, Song Mei and the others were absorbing spiritual energy from their Qi Sea, but they couldn’t fully mobilize their spiritual energy. Ye Fan merely restrained part of their power to prevent them from posing a significant threat to him.
Ye Fan was aware these people posed no major threat to him, but previously Nuwa disguised as Min Shang to launch a sneak attack on him, causing him to stay alert. He feared everything before him was deliberately performed for his sake.
"I need to continue cultivating for a while longer. Do not touch the people from the Grand Cold Sect. If you do, I’ll make sure you understand the consequences!" Ye Fan told Ming Ye Shanggong.
Ming Ye Shanggong sneered: "Are you threatening me? It’s of no use. If I want to kill them, unless you kill me, your threat is useless!"
Having said that, Ming Ye Shanggong appeared very self-assured, sitting down to continue cultivating with a tone laced with mockery: "However, I have no intention of killing these people now, as they don’t pose any threat to me! Nor should you control my cultivation. I need to cultivate, just like you need to cultivate to defeat those ancient powers; my goal in cultivating is to kill you, I don’t want to be enslaved by you any longer!"
At this moment, Ming Ye Shanggong showed no great resistance to Ye Fan, merely saying she would not attack Ye Fan anymore.
She would even voluntarily approach Ye Fan when he searched for other women to dual-cultivate, as she knew it was beneficial to her cultivation. Ye Fan’s Pure Yang spiritual energy had great affinity with her Pure Yin spiritual energy.

...
In the second Pangu Secret Realm, according to the calendar here, Ye Fan has been missing for six months.
In truth, Ye Fan has only been missing for less than twenty days. But since the epochs of the second secret realm are nearly identical to those of the first secret realm, according to the Pangu Secret Realm’s timeline, Ye Fan has been missing for almost two hundred days.
During these past six months, there has been a slight change in the order of the entire Pangu Secret Realm, while in the second secret realm, there are only some of Ye Fan’s female companions, and some female cultivator disciples building towns. These people dare not show any disrespect to Ye Fan’s companions, merely helping with the town construction.
Whether Ye Fan comes or not, it doesn’t greatly affect these female cultivators, but Ye Fan’s departure is hard for his companions to endure due to their longing.
Even Zhao Tianya visits Tantai Wanrong frequently to inquire about Ye Fan. Upon learning Ye Fan hasn’t come, Zhao Tianya feels deeply disappointed, sensing Ye Fan’s coldness toward her.
"Big Sister, you now also see that Ye Fan has completely forgotten about us here, with no news at all. It seems he definitely has forgotten us, as we can’t reach him anymore, even those women cultivating can’t contact him. Are we supposed to sit here waiting to die?"
Zhao Tianya complained, feeling her patience has reached its limit, not wanting to discuss Ye Fan anymore. Yet, she keeps thinking of him, for he greatly influenced her life, even altering her fate.
Tantai Wanrong replied: "What can be done? Say these things to Ye Fan; telling me is pointless. By the way, Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao also come by every day. If you’re going to keep complaining, why not say it to them? See if those two girls understand you! You’re no longer welcome here!"
"Big Sister, you feel the desolation without Ye Fan now? Hmm, fellow fallen ones, let’s see your reaction in decades! By then, you probably can’t endure the pain of Ye Fan’s absence anymore. By then, you might come looking for me to chat!" Zhao Tianya said.
As the two conversed, suddenly a tremendous pressure descended from above. Both were cultivators, and upon feeling this power, Zhao Tianya wanted to avoid it, but her speed couldn’t match its ferocity.
"Who’s there?" Tantai Wanrong shouted, drawing the sword Ye Fan gave her. She wanted to confront the formidable person, but her cultivation was far below that person’s.
A woman’s voice came: "Your cultivation isn’t bad, but it’s merely at the level of an ordinary human cultivator, still far from ascension!"
As she spoke, the person took her position; it was none other than Xi He.
Tantai Wanrong and Zhao Tianya recognized Xi He; they knew she was an ancient powerful being with very high cultivation. They dared not provoke this formidable woman.
"Did Ye Fan send you?" Zhao Tianya asked casually, with little reverence for Xi He due to Ye Fan’s backing.
Xi He replied: "The Master has gone missing. I’m just here to see if he visited you. If he hasn’t, I will leave soon without disturbing your normal lives!"
"What are you saying? Ye Fan is missing?" Tantai Wanrong asked nervously, moving closer.
Zhao Tianya glanced at Tantai Wanrong, seemingly criticizing her for being too anxious about Ye Fan. Xi He continued: "The Master has been missing for more than 190 days according to the Pangu Secret Realm calendar, although he truly left the Pangu Secret Realm. Where exactly he went, no one knows. He left while injured. I have captured the perpetrators, but the Master’s cultivation was greatly damaged, and he probably cannot reenter the Pangu Secret Realm..."
"Why don’t you bring him?" Tantai Wanrong asked urgently.
Xi He shook her head: "Unfortunately, I don’t have that ability. Only the Master has strong elemental powers that enable him to bring others into and out of the Pangu Secret Realm, even immortals. Furthermore, I can’t find the Master right now!"
