Capítulo 1358: Chapter 1354: Unreasonable Cultivator
Inside the Hui Xin Hotel, Ye Fan finally t the renowned cultivator who could rival the powers of ancient greats, a man seemingly in his forties, scholarly and possessing a certain masculine charm.
But Ye Fan couldn’t be certain of the person’s gender; he’s had past experiences. People from the ancient cultivation world can freely change their appearances like clay figures, so it’s very possible that what he sees is rely a mask. No matter how handso, it might not be the true appearance or even the actual gender.
“Ye Fan? Haha, I’ve heard Xi He ntion you a few tis. Still quite handso, no wonder so many human won are fond of you, even breaking so societal prejudices.” The man greeted Ye Fan in a way as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years, ntioning soone that made Ye Fan more cautious.
This person actually claims to know Xi He?
“Hmm.” Ye Fan nodded and sat down. There was only a teacup in front of him, but it was empty. The table in the corner of the hotel lobby seed prepared just for the two of them. Ye Fan felt a dead silence around him, not sensing any signs of life.
The man laughed, “Xi He’s spiritual power is that of an ancient great’s. You actually surpassed him in a spiritual contest, which I didn’t expect. Even I might not be able to compete with him in spiritual strength. Since She Said, I thought I’d like to challenge you myself.”
“Sir…” Ye Fan carefully chose his words, “I ca here to inquire about what’s going on, not to compete!”
The man said, “Why not listen to the conditions before deciding? You defeated Xi He, perhaps you can defeat too. Sotis Xi He acts without rules and doesn’t fulfill promises, but I won’t. Actually, I’ve only been on Earth for a few decades. During this ti, I’ve observed the greed and ignorance of humans, as well as their desire for civilization. If you plan to break through my illusions like how you dealt with Xi He, you have no chance!”
“Pervert!” This was Ye Fan’s most direct thought of the man, challenging people out of nowhere, and then wanting to challenge illusions, not giving him any options.
“I refuse!” Ye Fan simply closed his eyes, refusing to acknowledge the man.
Ye Fan knew these ancient cultivators had an almost perverse narcissism, thinking the world should revolve around them. He had encountered the temperants of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, Jiuyou Su Girl, and Xi He, considering them shaless and absurd ancient cultivators. Now facing a narcissistic man, Ye Fan was unsure to what extent this man’s narcissism would go but knew he must not follow the man’s instructions.
If you challenge , I will close my eyes and ignore you.
Because Ye Fan realized, so-called illusions are created through the five senses and emotional impact. If he stops using his body to sense the world and reaches a state of self-forgetfulness, then whether outside is an illusion becos irrelevant.
The man didn’t force Ye Fan, smiled, and said, “A normal human can achieve such a carefree state of mind, sothing I didn’t expect. But I invite you into my illusions purely for your benefit because I will provide insight into Xi He and others’ past lives!”
Ye Fan ignored the man. No matter what he said, illusions are crafted by intelligent beings and cannot be genuine. Ye Fan refused to be a fool.
“Sir, can I say such an encounter really was unnecessary?” Ye Fan opened his eyes, filled with bright insight.
Ye Fan and the man instantly locked eyes; the man tried to overpower Ye Fan with his gaze but found himself unsuccessful. Ye Fan’s spiritual power was so terrifyingly strong, showing no fluctuation amid their stare, as if this was their contest.
“Interesting, interesting!” The man smiled broadly; he enjoyed feeling superior over others and liked competing in this way against Ye Fan, as if it were amusing to strive with others.
After so ti, the man still couldn’t find any flaw in Ye Fan’s gaze, eventually giving up, sighing lightly, “A human actually possessing such powerful spiritual strength, even if you didn’t defeat , I am pleased. I now have another intriguing rival, just like Xi He!”
“You and Xi He…are rivals?” Ye Fan asked.
“Yes, she took my woman.” The man said sorrowfully, “I’ve never been beaten anywhere, but I lost a woman’s love to Xi He, who took my beloved, making a failure. Is it not sowhat ironic?”
Previously full of confidence, the man turned into a failure at the ntion of Xi He, appearing very pitiful.
Ye Fan said, “A woman robbed your beloved, so you desire to surpass everyone else?”
“She wasn’t my beloved, just my woman. Her love for was once my happiness, but Xi He…” The man thought for a mont, “Do you know why I’m inferior to her?”
Ye Fan shook his head, roughly guessing that the “she” the man referred to likely ant Xi He. The man seed unable to understand why his woman was so enamored with another woman.
Whether that woman truly loved Xi He, Ye Fan couldn’t be sure. Perhaps he finally understood why Xi He held such resentnt toward the female Soul Body, possibly the woman never loved Xi He but tried using her to provoke more attention from her man. Xi He mistook it for true love, but the woman couldn’t find harmony with Xi He, and for unknown reasons, beca pregnant with another’s child, birthing a daughter, then vanished as a Soul Body. Xi He seed to go mad, not only wanting to find this woman but to restore her human form and imprison her forever.
A woman caused a mysterious ancient cultivating man—and soone like Xi He, nearing ancient power—to turn insane, which Ye Fan found amazing.
Ye Fan felt more directly: “Ancient cultivators are a group of endless life and endlessly cultivating perverts!”
