Invincible Young Master in the City

Xi He seemed to have some expectations for Ye Fan. She didn’t want Ye Fan to face Fu Xi and Pan Gu head-on because she knew that Ye Fan’s cultivation level was not as high as theirs, and the possibility of defeat was significant.

"Let’s not talk about this," Ye Fan said. "By tomorrow morning, time will be very short. I’m afraid there won’t be time to practice anything else, so I can only use some basic methods to cultivate."

Xi He glanced at Ye Fan and roughly understood what he meant. If Ye Fan wanted to intensify his cultivation, his only option was to try to activate a few small crystals within his body.

Currently, even without being able to activate these small crystals, he could already suppress Nuwa’s cultivation. If he activated them, he might be able to defeat Fu Xi or even challenge Pan Gu.

"Let me, Xuan Nu, and Su Nu help the master cultivate," Xi He said.

The three of them were all ancient cultivators. One of them was an ancient powerhouse, and among the other two, Xi He’s cultivation was actually higher than the typical ancient powerhouse, with Su Nu’s cultivation being relatively lower.

Long ago, Ye Fan’s cultivation had already surpassed Su Nu. Nowadays, Su Nu’s cultivation was insignificant in front of Ye Fan, and Xi He was no longer a match for Ye Fan either.

At the same time, Ye Fan was to cultivate with these three ancient female cultivators. However, it was just an ordinary form of cultivation. Ye Fan sat cross-legged, while the three women sat at different positions around him. Xi He’s cultivation was the highest, and the other two women’s cultivation could only be conveyed through Xi He as an energy intermediary.

Otherwise, Ye Fan’s cultivation might be unbearable for Xuan Nu and Su Nu.

A golden light formed around Ye Fan’s body, and as this light emerged, much energy began to shift. Ye Fan’s cultivation mainly aimed to energize the elemental energy within his body, simultaneously letting Xi He, Xuan Nu, and Su Nu bear this elemental force. However, after a long time of cultivation, this effect seemed not very apparent.

...

Somewhere within the universe, after escaping, Li Yunhuo finally found a place to hide.

During his previous confrontation with Pan Gu and Fu Xi, his body was already severely injured. It was relying on some energy that did not belong within the universe that enabled him to escape.

"Humph, Pan Gu and Fu Xi, sooner or later, I will render you beyond redemption. Do you think that by defeating me, you can defeat everything?" Li Yunhuo was furious. "Luckily, I can still hide within the universe. You must think I’ve already escaped the universe, maybe even reached an unfathomable place... haha, if you have the skill, come and kill me..."

While Li Yunhuo was speaking, a figure appeared behind him. Li Yunhuo turned to see who it was and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

The newcomer was not his enemy but Shen Biancheng, his disciple.

Shen Biancheng said, "Master, you instructed me to rest here, have you forgotten? How... are you injured?"

Shen Biancheng looked at Li Yunhuo with surprise because he thought Li Yunhuo had already reached a level beyond all cultivators in the universe and theoretically shouldn’t be injured.

"It was Pan Gu and Fu Xi, the two mightiest ancient cultivators. I thought I could contend with them, but it was actually wishful thinking. Their cultivation levels have indeed reached a terrifying extent. I must admit, defeating the two of them is as difficult as reaching the heavens!" Li Yunhuo said.

"Master, isn’t that belittling yourself? Isn’t there still Junior Brother? Once the tribulation arrives, even if Junior Brother overcomes the tribulation, he will help us kill Pan Gu and Fu Xi. Now he has already defeated Nuwa!" Shen Biancheng said.

"Don’t mention him to me. He might not be on our side anymore. I was trying to help him so he could dominate the universe, and what about him? Humph, even now he is still dissembling with those ancient cultivators. It’s infuriating. If he had helped me, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. You must know, Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s arrogance is entirely because of him. If he listened to me and wielded that ancient weapon, Pan Gu and Fu Xi would be gone. He never complied with my wishes."

When Li Yunhuo mentioned Ye Fan, his words carried a hint of anger, as if Ye Fan had betrayed him. But in fact, Ye Fan wouldn’t align with Li Yunhuo on certain choices.

Especially after Ye Fan discovered he was being used by Li Yunhuo.

"Master, have you entirely given up on Junior Brother? I think he can still be persuaded; why not let Bai He and me try?" Shen Biancheng said.

"No, time is too short for unrealistic hopes. Do you think Pan Gu and Fu Xi are unprepared? If Ye Fan intended to agree, he would have long ago instead of waiting until today. Now Ye Fan is simply an obtuse person. Whatever you say to him is futile. It’s better to think about how to complete the tribulation. We are the vanguard of the tribulation, different from those ancient cultivators. Counting on Ye Fan to agree with us is overly difficult!" Li Yunhuo said.

Shen Biancheng said somewhat disheartened, "Thinking about having to oppose Junior Brother, my heart is still somewhat unwilling. His cultivation rise was witnessed by me, step by step. If we abandon him like this, it means we will become enemies. Do we really have to reach this point? Our intentions are not malicious, and his heart is also kind..."

"People of different paths cannot make plans together—this is the basic principle. You are human, you should understand this without me reminding you, my disciple. I have granted you a certain level of cultivation, but the gap between you and those ancient cultivators is still immense. It’s best you don’t wander and expose yourself, lest you also bring me danger. I must cultivate in the shortest time... the tribulation is about to extend to Pan Gu’s secret realm. I must prepare for the final step!"

Having said that, Li Yunhuo sat down, seemingly to begin cultivating. But while he was cultivating, the energy within his body failed to coalesce.

"Master, you..." Shen Biancheng seemed to notice something amiss and voiced a reminder.

"Don’t concern yourself. Do you think the cultivation methods of high-level cultivators are the same as those of ancient cultivators? What I must do now is beyond your understanding. I aim to complete a kind of cultivation not belonging to this universe. Pan Gu, Fu Xi, Ye Fan, you three will all be slain by me eventually, not by the tribulation but by my own hands!" Li Yunhuo said with a twisted expression.
