Chapter 1940: Chapter 1936: Ye Fan’s Choice
Ye Fan still hadn’t found that mysterious force, which, for Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa, was both a good thing and not necessarily completely beneficial, because it meant Ye Fan had not yet acquired the power to challenge them.
After leaving Pan Gu, Fu Xi went to the Death Sea surrounding the Pan Gu Secret Realm to probe this power, but unfortunately, even with his cultivation level, he couldn’t find any clues. He didn’t know why this was the case, because in his view, his own cultivation level should exceed Ye Fan’s by a lot, and it should have been easy to investigate.
"Why is it like this? I thought I could find this mysterious power before Ye Fan, but now it seems, this mysterious power remains as mysterious as ever. If I can’t find it, it means I still don’t possess the ability to directly rule over Ye Fan. Perhaps what Pan Gu said is true, the existence of humans has already threatened the status of ancient cultivators. Even if we don’t kill them, we must find some way to limit them and prevent their cultivation from growing without restraint. But killing them is still unnecessary." Fu Xi began to understand Pan Gu’s decision, especially after discovering in some aspects, he was already not as good as Ye Fan.
At this moment, Ye Fan was still continuing his search for the remnants of that force.
Nuwa also returned from outside the Pan Gu Secret Realm to within the Pan Gu Secret Realm, and the person Nuwa went to find was not Pan Gu, but Fu Xi, whom she kept in her heart.
When Nuwa appeared before him, Fu Xi glanced at her and said, "Didn’t expect you to come again. Are you here to monitor Ye Fan or to monitor me? It seems you know Ye Fan is bound to accomplish something."
Nuwa replied, "Before, I was very curious, Ye Fan was just an ordinary human, what did he have that would allow him to challenge our power in the end. Now, it seems I understand, besides his own efforts, he must have encountered some strange occurrence. Under the influence of this occurrence, his cultivation will continue to improve. What might not seem like an opportunity for advancement to us, is a great chance for Ye Fan."
Fu Xi said coldly, "You should also know that humans have their own way of cultivation, which is different from us ancient cultivators... perhaps with their qualifications, it is inherently difficult for them to surpass us. Now that they have found a way to reach a certain level, it’s their own good fortune, and we have no right to interfere. However, you seem to be constantly interfering with human cultivation. What’s your purpose? Humans will eventually help us overcome the shadow of the heavenly tribulation, not just you, even Pan Gu wants to completely solve the human problem."
"Haha, why, even the Pan Gu you trust is not as noble as you once thought? I told you, Pan Gu is actually a man who fishes for fame. Everything he has been promoting seems like a joke to me. He won’t help humans obtain any right to survive; he just wants to strip those survival rights from them. And you still trust him and support him. In the end, aren’t you afraid you might threaten his position too, and he will kill you as well? That would be interesting, and I somewhat look forward to that scene appearing." Nuwa seemed a bit schadenfreude.
Fu Xi said nothing; to Fu Xi, Nuwa and Pan Gu were equally stubborn at times.
Seeing Fu Xi silent, Nuwa said, "Let me tell you something, the two women beside Ye Fan have just come out from their trapped prison. That prison, for those women, lasted tens of years. After coming out, they will go to find Ye Fan, and among those two women, there might be a chosen one. Aren’t you going to take a look?"
"Didn’t you say you already know who the chosen one is? You seem to have sworn before Ye Fan to do something about it. Now it appears, you were just bluffing." Fu Xi said.
Nuwa gave Fu Xi a cold look and said, "Say what you like. I find you narrow-minded, increasingly like an ordinary human man. I don’t know what exactly there is about you that’s worth admiring. Maybe I was just blind back then. I’m going to test those two women now. Whether you want to go with me is up to you. However, Ye Fan will probably soon discover the result as well, and if Ye Fan finds these two women first, you and I won’t have a chance to approach them."
Fu Xi said nothing, but his figure gradually disappeared, following Nuwa out of the Pan Gu Secret Realm.
...
...
Ye Fan indeed hadn’t found any trace of Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, and he had temporarily not found any clues about these two women.
At the moment, he was continuing to probe the secrets beneath the Death Sea. Unfortunately, after spending three or four hours, he still didn’t detect any clues and had to restrain his confidence, waiting by the shore, while Fu Xi and Nuwa had already left.
"Is the master discouraged?" Xi He emerged and asked.
Ye Fan looked at Xi He, showing a bit of disappointment, and said, "What I can be sure of now is that this power has nothing to do with Pan Gu and Fu Xi, contrary to what Xuan Nu said about this power being Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s temptation... As for other things, I’m not too sure. When I briefly contacted that power, what I sensed was a potential in elemental power, which for a time made me feel it was an extension of elemental power, or the existence of a seventh small crystal. Now I still can’t determine the specific nature of this power."
"Since even the master can’t determine it, then the master should not investigate. What the master needs to do now is to hurry back to Earth and prepare for the heavenly tribulation, right? With the master’s current cultivation, it seems he already possesses the ability to counter the heavenly tribulation," Xi He said.
Ye Fan looked at Xi He and said, "Do you really think I already have the ability to challenge the heavenly tribulation?"
"Yes," Xi He said, "although the master’s current cultivation may not exceed those like Pan Gu, the master’s cultivation has reached a very formidable level. More importantly, the master has achieved considerable improvement in some aspects of his cultivation, which is a capability specifically designed to counter the heavenly tribulation. It’s similar to elemental power or some potential powers within the master. Because the master possesses these powers, neither Pan Gu nor Fu Xi dares to offend the master, or to kill the master. But for the master to surpass Pan Gu and Fu Xi in a short time, it also seems impossible."
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "You are wrong. If I can’t surpass Pan Gu and Fu Xi, I won’t face the heavenly tribulation, because even if I overcome the heavenly tribulation, I will still die at their hands."
