Chapter 1891: Chapter 1887: The Proliferation of Power
Conflicts arose between Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa, creating a rift among them, a rift among the greatest powers of ancient times, and among the three highest cultivators in the universe.
Nuwa scrutinized the two of them and asked coldly, "What, are you planning to join forces to kill me?"
"Kill you? That’s impossible!" Fu Xi said, "The order among ancient cultivators is to let them be, and even if there are enemies, it’s not for us to take action. We cannot defy the laws of nature. Even if you want to change everything, we won’t kill you!"
Nuwa replied, "You have always chosen to side under Pan Gu. What has Pan Gu given you? In the end, Pan Gu still only sees you as a helper, and you will forever live in his shadow. Do you think I’m doing all this for myself? Isn’t it for you, so that you could one day truly rule over living beings? Yet, in the end, you don’t appreciate it!"
Fu Xi laughed, "What, you want to sow discord in front of Pan Gu? You know I won’t kill you now, nor will Pan Gu. Saying this is meaningless! If you violate the previous restriction and go on to kill someone, I will propose to Pan Gu to spare you, but I will also propose to kill you. That’s the order! Don’t think being an ancient great power gives you immunity!"
"Do what you want, I’d rather let a human threaten our rule than kill him. Your actions truly disappoint me!" After Nuwa finished speaking, she disappeared, and Fu Xi did not pursue her, neither did Pan Gu prepare to kill Nuwa.
After Nuwa left, Fu Xi said, "She is still as willful as before. Maybe if we spare her life, she might change her mind!"
"She will change?" Pan Gu replied, "No, she never will. Her life carries a streak of rebellion. Though you once won her over, you didn’t completely subdue her. She won’t help you achieve great deeds; everything she does is for herself. If she defies the order, I will kill her. Your help would be in vain!"
Fu Xi’s expression was a little gloomy. Even though he sided with Pan Gu, he still wanted to help Nuwa. In the end, he shook his head and said, "No matter what you do, Pan Gu, I will support you. Even if it means killing her, I will support you!"
Pan Gu glanced at Fu Xi and said, "The only one who can match my power is you. Even if you join forces with her, your cultivation surpasses mine. I trust you, but I don’t trust her. Perhaps she has another motive, but I haven’t detected it. Now she is stubbornly unrepentant, and I can no longer pull her back. All I can do now is maintain the current order. I hope you will steadfastly support me!"
Fu Xi nodded; both continued to look into the distance, towards the death sea of the Pan Gu’s secret realm.

Li Zhaojun and Min Shang’s cultivation had not seen much progress before, but after continuing their combined cultivation, their skills suddenly made significant advancements.
"Sister, I don’t know why, but it feels like there’s a force within me that doesn’t belong to us!" Min Shang suddenly said, still with her eyes closed, sensing the changes in the power within her.
"I feel it too, Shang sister. Don’t act rashly. This force might not be beneficial to us. We need to first grasp what it is, then try to harness it. It’s surprising that after our Pure Yin Spiritual Energy cultivation, such a result occurred!" Li Zhaojun said, with a hint of incredulity.
Both of them were very pleased; they continued to cultivate this strange new power, which raised their cultivation to a new level.
Eventually, this power seemed to show its pattern. Li Zhaojun said, "Sister, try and harness this power. Let’s try to break through the surrounding constraints. This is our best chance!"
As Li Zhaojun finished speaking, Min Shang coordinated with her to harness this power. The forces targeted the enclosing cage forcefully. After a strong attack, while the cage didn’t shatter, it seemed to waver. Min Shang was delighted, "Sister, it seems to be working!"
"Then let’s continue!" Li Zhaojun and Min Shang kept channeling this power together.
The combined power was immensely strong, a feeling they had never experienced before. With the activation of this power, they could feel the surging energy within, releasing it repeatedly against the cage, each time leaving a heavy impact. Just a few more times, and they might break free.
"Almost there, sister. If we can get out, we’ll be able to see Ye Fan! I don’t know how much time has passed now—feels like months! I don’t know if Ye Fan might be in danger now! We must get out, and help him if we can. Even if we can’t, we must not be a burden to him!" Li Zhaojun said.
"Mm!" Min Shang nodded. Her feelings for Ye Fan were also very sincere, and she was intent on aiding Ye Fan, even if it meant sacrificing her own life’s force.
...
...
Ye Fan was on Earth, still engrossed in his cultivation.
He was also cultivating a force that had arisen within him due to Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, a force that hadn’t yet become his dominant power. He felt this force hadn’t reached the peak state of his elemental power.
"It’s not working; right now, I can only cultivate this force through catalysis. It seems there’s always a missing medium. Could it be the Pure Yin Spiritual Energy in Zhao Jun and others? If Zhao Jun were here, it might not be this troublesome! I could try it directly, but Mingye Supreme’s Pure Yin Spiritual Energy is never quite in harmony with mine!" Ye Fan thought to himself.
Ye Fan kept nurturing the power within him, but it couldn’t become his assistant, and he didn’t know how to properly harness it.
"There’s no emotional connection between Mingye Supreme and me, and her body’s Pure Yin Spiritual Energy carries remnants of ancient cultivators. Cultivating with her only fosters this force within me, but I can’t refine it to utmost potential. Even if Zhao Jun and Min Shang come, it might not be effective since their cultivation isn’t high enough to be my best aid!"
At this realization, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
Without the help of a cultivation medium, it’s futile no matter how he cultivates. Only this force could contend with the powers of Pan Gu and Fu Xi and not his previous elemental strength.
