Chapter 2030 - 2026: Li Yunhuo Disappears
Li Zhaojun sought out Zhao Tianya, also considering the powerful force that Zhao Tianya carries.
After observing Zhao Tianya, Li Zhaojun discovered that not only had Zhao Tianya’s cultivation reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but his potential was also extraordinarily high.
"There is some conflict between Ye Fan and Zhao Tianya. To resolve their past grievances early, and for the future success of Ye Fan in resisting tribulations and those ancient cultivators, this is the best I can do. I hope Zhao Tianya won’t disappoint me!" Li Zhaojun had some expectations for Zhao Tianya in his heart.
At this moment, Ye Fan was already heading towards the Pan Gu Secret Realm.
Because Ye Fan felt that something seemed to have happened on Heavenly Peak Mountain, which was of great significance to him.
Ye Fan brought Xi He all the way to Heavenly Peak Mountain, even forgetting about Nuwa’s matters. Upon reaching Heavenly Peak Mountain, it seemed as if nothing had occurred here.
Everything was empty, except for the divine weapon resembling a spear and the dilapidated mountain gate of the Li Yunhuo Sect. Nothing else was left behind.
Xi He said, "Master seems to have misjudged, nothing has happened here!"
"Is that so?" Ye Fan replied with a frown, "I feel that a great battle should have taken place here. The combatants should have been Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Li Yunhuo. The outcome of this battle should have been that Li Yunhuo was subdued by Pan Gu and Fu Xi."
Xi He shook her head and said, "The situation you described shouldn’t have happened. Master should know that the death of Li Yunhuo would trigger the tribulation directly. Now, since the Master is not prepared to face the tribulation, why would Pan Gu and Fu Xi take the risk of killing Li Yunhuo now? Killing Li Yunhuo serves them no benefit!"
Ye Fan said coldly, "But what if they only imprisoned Li Yunhuo, not letting him die?"
"Huh?" Xi He appeared puzzled.
"The universe is not a simple universe; there are many scattered spaces. These spaces, along with the universe, form today’s realm of living beings. I believe Pan Gu and Fu Xi would imprison Li Yunhuo in another space. Thus, even if Li Yunhuo attempts to contact higher-level cultivators, it seems not to be an easy matter," Ye Fan said.
Xi He continued to shake her head. Although she did not know where Ye Fan was wrong, she still denied his statement.
Ye Fan didn’t argue with Xi He. He still searched the Heavenly Peak Mountain for clues he wanted to know, but nothing seemed left behind here. After this ancient divine weapon emerged from Heavenly Peak Mountain, it lay quietly there. Even when Ye Fan arrived, the weapon didn’t change at all, seemingly understanding that Ye Fan was not going to claim it for the time being.
"What is Master still searching for? Nothing is left here; Master should leave as well. Only then can Master quickly search for the whereabouts of Li Yunhuo!" Xi He urged.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "It makes no sense for me to search for Li Yunhuo; what Pan Gu and Fu Xi care about is their origin, but what do I care about? I know where I come from. We are the derived beings created by Nuwa, we have our own thoughts, and there is not much difference between us and you ancient cultivators. As for others... I honestly don’t care too much... By the way, have you found anything else here?"
"No!" Xi He firmly said, "If I found something, I’d surely tell Master, but I indeed found nothing!"
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Perhaps I didn’t do well enough in certain aspects, so I still can’t fully control the power of the seventh and eighth small crystals, nor awaken the original six small crystals. This is the reason why I cannot face the tribulation and defeat Pan Gu and Fu Xi. Although I can defeat Nuwa now, it means little to me. Now, I must completely suppress the tribulation!"
"Master isn’t supposed to suppress the tribulation with power!" Xi He reminded, "If it really relied on Master’s power, then Master’s power should have exceeded Pan Gu and Fu Xi. If not, then Master’s cultivation should have the power to suppress the tribulation. Perhaps now, facing the tribulation shouldn’t be challenging for Master."
Ye Fan said, "Even if you’re right, I won’t do it. It’s no different from suicide. I can face the tribulation, but I can’t face two powerful opponents. My current goal is not only to train the chosen one, Lan Jing, but also to break through in my cultivation. For now, it seems I can only start with the small crystals in my body; there seems to be no other way!"
"No, Master seems to have other ways!" Xi He suggested, glancing at that seemingly ordinary divine weapon on Heavenly Peak Mountain, "If Master subdues the tribulation, have you considered claiming this divine weapon? With this weapon, it seems Master could contend with Pan Gu and Fu Xi!"
Ye Fan examined the weapon, which remained unresponsive as if it could see through Ye Fan’s mind.
Ye Fan said, "I have said, I won’t attempt anything. What I’m going to do is to face the tribulation with my true cultivation. I won’t claim this weapon because it does not belong to me. Just a Fire Dragon Sword is enough for me!"
"Since this is Master’s choice, I have nothing to say!" Xi He replied.
After searching on Heavenly Peak Mountain, Ye Fan didn’t discover the whereabouts of Pan Gu and Fu Xi, nor any trace of Li Yunhuo. Because he didn’t know what exactly happened here, he could only hope that Pan Gu and Fu Xi wouldn’t obtain any valuable information from Li Yunhuo.
Ye Fan worried internally, "Even though Li Yunhuo is merely a human, he knows the art of reincarnation, capable of passing down his cultivation. Among so many cultivators, he is probably the one with the highest cultivation, even higher than those so-called Immortals. Not only that, but Li Yunhuo also knows much about higher-level cultivators. If Pan Gu and Fu Xi were to get some answers from him, then Pan Gu and Fu Xi might possess the qualifications to challenge the upper creators!"
"Why has Master not left yet?" Xi He curiously asked.
"I’m still pondering some things!" Ye Fan said, "What Pan Gu and Fu Xi lack isn’t cultivation but wisdom. Their understanding of the universe has its limitations. They can only comprehend things within the universe, not much about what’s beyond it. If they get answers from Li Yunhuo, perhaps they would break through a certain bottleneck. Then... defeating them becomes even more difficult!"
