Invincible Young Master in the City

Ye Fan did not stay inside the secret realm of Pan Gu; he first returned to Earth.

In the air, he already felt a power that did not belong to the natural world beginning to spread. The existence of this power also made him realize that Heaven’s calamity was indeed approaching. This power was actually an extension of Heaven’s calamity, undetectable by ordinary humans and without significant impact on them, yet once it erupts, it can trigger factors leading to human extinction.

Such as explosions, floods, disasters, and catastrophes.

Ye Fan recalled Zhuo Junwu’s words, realizing that Zhuo Junwu was unexpectedly someone from the forces of Heaven’s calamity, and himself was also a disciple of a Heaven’s calamity faction.

"No wonder there are no Li Fire Sect people in the celestial realm. Now I understand, the root purpose of the Li Fire Sect was not to cultivate immortality, but to complete Heaven’s calamity, and my master would rather not cultivate than to search for me on Earth, showing that his purpose was strong."

Ye Fan felt somewhat sad, realizing he had been used from the start, and now was being forced to choose between Heaven’s calamity and saving it.

"If I choose to side with Heaven’s calamity forces, it’s like betraying my initial ideals. This is not what I hope to see, even if I know those ancient cultivators are using me, I cannot be used by Heaven’s calamity forces."

While pondering these matters, Ye Fan arrived at an ordinary countryside on Earth, as it was still nighttime and past midnight, the field was devoid of people.

It was at this moment that he seemed to hear something. The sound was so faint that he couldn’t determine whether it truly existed.

"What is that?" Ye Fan wondered with curiosity, knowing that nothing should escape his notice now, yet some subtle power changes on Earth were almost beyond his control.

A light spot jumped from the darkness, very small, like a firefly. This light spot flickered in front of Ye Fan for a moment, then dissipated. As for where this light spot went, Ye Fan did not know, but he understood one thing — outside the light spot, there was a peculiar power, almost able to communicate with the universe’s strongest force.

After the light spot disappeared, Ye Fan could no longer track any clues.

"Could this be some power’s hint to me? Though my cultivation is already high, even the powers of Pan Gu and Fu Xi are unreachable to me. I haven’t found the Chosen One, so what can I do now?"

Ye Fan felt somewhat frustrated, not knowing how to face Heaven’s calamity.

He suddenly thought of someone who reminded him of past encounters, someone he used to see frequently but hadn’t seen for a long time.

Ye Fan promptly left Earth, not to the secret realm of Pan Gu, but to a place within the Left Domain galaxy. On a dark planet within this galaxy, there was an ocean, and Ye Fan entered it directly. Not long after, he saw a blue figure ahead, who was indeed Lan Jing, someone who had a good relationship with him before.

Lan Jing swam over upon seeing Ye Fan and blinked, "Ye Fan, is that you? How come you are here?"

Ye Fan said, "I saw something and thought of you. I can feel the power within you, so I came to check on you."

"I’m doing well. I performed a ceremony earlier, which was very exhausting, so I told Sister Xuan Nu I wanted to find an ocean to rest, and she agreed and brought me here," Lan Jing said with a bright smile.

Ye Fan finally knew that Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s awakening was manipulated by Xuan Nu in the shadows. Though Pan Gu and Fu Xi now seriously threatened his position, knowing they would awaken before Heaven’s calamity, he held no great resentment toward Xuan Nu.

"I’m here to see you. Have you rested well?" Ye Fan asked.

"Not really. I want to rest a bit more. It’s nice here, worry-free every day. It’s really fun. Ye Fan, if you have nothing to do, you can come often, but I always feel you’re quite busy, always pushing yourself too hard, which isn’t good," Lan Jing said seriously.

Using his Spiritual Sense, Ye Fan examined the power within Lan Jing, discovering that her power was terrifyingly strong. Though he had noticed this before, he hadn’t thought much about it. Now he seemed to realize something and said, "Lan Jing, come back to Earth with me. I need your help with something."

"Sure," Lan Jing did not refuse. She seemed eager to help Ye Fan and said, "I also wanted to return to Earth’s oceans. The oceans here are unfamiliar and not so good."

"Alright." Ye Fan, holding Lan Jing’s hand — they appeared connected like one — with a wave, left the Left Domain galaxy instantly, returning to Earth.

...

...

In front of Li Zhaojun, Ye Fan had Lan Jing stand there before asking Li Zhaojun to bring out Tai Ning.

"Ye Fan, do you think Lan Jing might be the Chosen One?" Li Zhaojun asked.

"Let’s try first. What if she is? I never considered Lan Jing’s situation before because she was just my friend, who had amicable relations with us. I always felt that girl should be by my side..." Ye Fan said.

Li Zhaojun nodded slightly and took out Tai Ning, handing it to Lan Jing. "Miss Lan Jing, this is Tai Ning, an ancient Divine weapon. You can infuse your power into it. If you can receive its feedback, you might become its acknowledged owner."

"What does it mean to be acknowledged owner?" Lan Jing asked with a hint of confusion.

Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun couldn’t answer her and could only let her try on her own. When Lan Jing held Tai Ning, she sighed, "This weapon is really heavy."

"Try infusing your power into it. It doesn’t have to be much," Ye Fan said.

Lan Jing nodded, following Ye Fan’s instructions, infusing her power into it. Tai Ning, just as Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun previously tested, showed no sign of response, almost as if it had no reaction.

"It seems it cannot," Lan Jing said.

Just as she finished speaking, Tai Ning suddenly responded, a power surged from within, quickly wrapping the entire hammer with what appeared to be a white light, enveloping Lan Jing in it as well.

"Ah?" Li Zhaojun was surprised, seemingly realizing something, and at this moment, both she and Ye Fan watched Lan Jing intently.

Lan Jing didn’t know what was happening; she only felt a power flowing within her body and said, "What a strange feeling, I feel my whole body is filled with power."
