Chapter 1938: Chapter 1934: Relentless Challenges
After Li Zhaojun and Min Shang escaped from that binding space cage, the first thing they did upon returning to the normal universe was to find Ye Fan.
The power that Ye Fan had planted in them had long disappeared. At this moment, Ye Fan was unaware that the two had returned, and they had completely lost contact with him. They could only rely on their own efforts to return to Earth and even find a way to enter the Pangu Secret Realm. However, entering the Pangu Secret Realm was particularly difficult for them, as their cultivation had already ascended, and entering required a pre-ascension cultivation level.
The two sisters began their efforts. They hoped that through their own means, they could return to Earth. They also wanted to know if Earth had survived the catastrophe, whether the humans on Earth were still safe, and of course, the person they cared most about was Ye Fan. As for others, they seemed no longer important.
At this time, Ye Fan was still in the Death Sea of the Pangu Secret Realm, searching for that mysterious small power. He spent more than two hours, and even without the help of Xuan Nu, Ye Fan sought together with Xi He. As time passed, Ye Fan couldn’t detect any traces of that small energy.
Eventually, Ye Fan appeared beside Xi He, and Xi He seemed to have given up the search as well.
Xi He said, "The clues the master mentioned before, in my view, aren’t anything significant anymore. That power hasn’t appeared again, suggesting it might have hidden, or is just a remnant of some power. In the Death Sea, there are many power remnants because when Pangu created the Secret Realm, there were inevitably many imperfections, and the power Pangu deployed must have included some unexpected energies."
Ye Fan said, "I don’t want to hear such disheartening words. I need to find real clues, or I will not rest."
Xi He seemed a bit helpless and said, "Even if the master believes the power can be found, you must admit that apart from this power, there is indeed other energy present. The Death Sea’s energy sources are not just one location. In my previous searches, I found some relatively weaker energy sources. Should I take the master to check them one by one?"
"If I ignore anything that could threaten me, then everything I’m doing is meaningless. Regardless, you just need to follow my instructions and act accordingly. If you, like Xuan Nu, don’t want to obey my orders, I won’t make things difficult for you. But you know what the consequences will be!" Ye Fan sternly said.
Xi He smiled slightly and said nothing more. It was clear she was somewhat intimidated by Ye Fan. She finally looked at Ye Fan, seemingly seeking his opinion. Ye Fan stated firmly, "No matter what, we must continue the search. If you don’t help me, I’ll have to take some extreme measures. You decide for yourself. I will continue searching; if you don’t assist, I won’t force you... decide for yourself."
After speaking, Ye Fan left to continue searching for that mysterious power, and Xi He was left with no choice. She sighed softly, "He says he won’t make it difficult for me, yet he’s already imprisoned Xuan Nu, effectively threatening me. Sigh, just search then, since it’s for the catastrophe; this search might still have some meaning, right!"
...
...
In a mysterious place within the Pangu Secret Realm, Nuwa continued to observe Ye Fan’s movements, everything Ye Fan did was clearly reflected in her Crystal Ball. What Ye Fan intended to do was of interest to Nuwa because she too wanted to know how Ye Fan planned to save against the catastrophe.
"It seems that Lady Nuwa is somewhat curious about this man." A woman appeared behind Nuwa. This person hadn’t appeared before Ye Fan before and was someone Ye Fan didn’t recognize. After the ancient cultivators successively awoke, those obscure ancient cultivators also began to appear. These people had to face a decision—to choose between standing with Pangu or Nuwa. Only by choosing a side could they hope to preserve themselves.
Though fewer people pledged allegiance to Nuwa, many women preferred to serve her because Nuwa acted relatively steadily, and being a woman herself, she took special care of female interests in many matters.
Nuwa said, "This man is connected to the greatest secret within the Pangu Secret Realm. Ever since the creation of the Pangu Secret Realm, there have been mysterious powers present. If these mysterious powers are not discovered, the source of the catastrophe cannot be found, nor can methods to cope with it. I have searched myself but found no presence, yet it seems Ye Fan has the ability to explore it, as what he practices within himself is fundamentally different from us."
"Lady Nuwa previously sent E Huang and others to deal with Ye Fan. What was the result? This man must be quite powerful, rising among humans and ultimately able to contend with us ancient cultivators. I’m actually curious to see how terrifying his abilities are." The woman said.
Nuwa looked at the woman and said, "I advise you not to go, or you won’t even know how you died. Ye Fan’s cultivation has already surpassed what I can control. Even if I went to kill him now, I wouldn’t be entirely confident. Do you think you have a chance to defeat him? Another thing about humans is their possessiveness. If you fall into his hands, you’ll be asking for trouble. The final result is you’ll become his slave, just like Xi He and Xuan Nu. If you can bear that, by all means, seek him out. I won’t stop you."
The woman chuckled, "Is Lady Nuwa trying to scare us juniors? No matter how strong this man is, it doesn’t concern me. I don’t wish to be possessed by him. What kind of women does he not have? I heard, Lady Nuwa even used herself as a bargaining chip to earn his allegiance, to no avail at the end."
"If you’re trying to anger me, you’ve succeeded." Nuwa closed her eyes and said.
The woman could feel the murderous intent emanating from Nuwa and said, "Forgive me, Lady Nuwa, I just said a few unpleasant words. It seems this man has his pursuits and won’t easily be swayed by other matters. In that case, I’ll go meet him first and see where his strengths truly lie. I hope this time I can help Lady Nuwa complete this task and quell the anger in your heart!"
