Ye Fan examined the fragnts of mysterious forces, hoping to find traces of Li Zhaojun’s departure and track her down.
But it was not easy to find specific traces of Li Zhaojun leaving, even the Mysterious Woman didn’t have this ability.
"Have you t Xi He, that woman?" The Mysterious Woman suddenly opened her eyes and glared at Ye Fan.
"Yes." Ye Fan did not deny it, nodding, "Why?"
The Mysterious Woman replied coldly: "You are quite capable, not only have you acquired Xi He’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, but you can use her as an alchemy cauldron! This greatly aids your cultivation, but I’ve noticed the elental powers within you seem to have disappeared! Can you tell what’s going on?"
Ye Fan said: "So things can be shared, but so must be kept secret. I hope you’ll pardon , Senior. Between Xi He and myself, it’s rely an exchange of interests, with no joint actions involved. On the purpose of the exchange, my attitude towards you and Xi He is the sa, so there’s no need for such an attitude when speaking to , Senior!"
The two exchanged looks; the Mysterious Woman was still very angry, as if Ye Fan’s actions had hard her interests sohow, but she forgot that Ye Fan had never chosen a side. He hadn’t fully allied with Xi He, nor did he completely side with the Mysterious Woman.
"Then, what sort of exchange of interests do you have with ?" The Mysterious Woman asked sternly.
"Does Senior believe interests must be tangible? In the matter of finding Zhao Jun, our interests are aligned, and I also don’t wish Lan Jing to co to harm. I still don’t understand why Zhao Jun’s character suddenly changed drastically. If Senior could answer , I wouldn’t need to seek it out myself," Ye Fan said.
The Mysterious Woman said nothing and responded, "You ca here after eting with Xi He; if I’m correct, that woman doesn’t want us to find that girl nad Li. She will definitely hinder us. But you can’t mobilize the elental powers to help track her down!"
"Only elental power can track down Zhao Jun?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"So things you shouldn’t ask . Although you master six elents that don’t include ti, combining them could alter and reverse ti! But you seem to lack control over this power—it appears the girl nad Li mastered it before you. Ye Fan, do you want to look down on you?" The Mysterious Woman taunted, provoking Ye Fan’s displeasure.
Ye Fan closed his eyes and imagined a scene in his mind: forming a ti wheel with his power, enabling him to traverse and leap through ti and space.
But he felt he lacked such ability.
Ye Fan opened his eyes and said: "Is Senior implying I lack the capacity to help you? But you seem to have forgotten to ntion that only those with Pure Yin Spiritual Energy can wield this ti-bending power. anwhile, I... my Pure Yang Spiritual Energy maintains the stability of ti and space. Asking to destabilize it ans betraying my mission. Senior, your intention is quite questionable!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman glared at Ye Fan and snapped, "You do seem to know everything!"
"I have no choice but to understand. The key lies in Xi He, who has already hinted at so matters. I’m rely passing on her words," Ye Fan said, clearly well aware of his power, speaking to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman with assertiveness.
The Mysterious Woman clearly didn’t realize Ye Fan was speculating. She said, "You are correct; the portal of ti and space cannot be opened by you, as your role is to guard its stability. Like Xi He, your missions are actually interconnected... But you are not the sa; you are a human cultivator, and she is ford by ancient spiritual energy. Your essence differs in emotion and choice. You have choices; she does not!"
"I’m not quite clear on Senior’s aning!" Ye Fan said.
"You can use Pure Yang Spiritual Energy to disrupt the order of ti and space, which is the root of saving the calamity; but you aren’t destined as the chosen one, as your power has limitations. You must find complentary forces. I initially thought this person was the girl Li, but I’m sensing she’s headstrong, hardly your helper, more like a jinx. She is influenced by so force to do these things. I suspect this force is actually a consciousness ford by the calamity... Ye Fan, the woman you love may have been manipulated by the calamity’s forces!" the Mysterious Woman said.
Ye Fan looked very solemn; he too had considered why Li Zhaojun would suddenly beco headstrong and do things he couldn’t accept.
He now seed to understand, perhaps Li Zhaojun wanted to use her powers to help him, and felt certain ways of assisting wouldn’t be accepted by him, so she chose to save him in her own way.
Ye Fan remained composed, saying: "Before Xi He arrives here, I must find where Zhao Jun has gone and bring her back together with Senior. Having spent too long, she might be unable to leave a certain space-ti!"
...
...
In another space-ti, Li Zhaojun felt her powers gradually waning.
Li Zhaojun hoped to change the final calamity outco by reversing ti, but she was actually being used. She believed her judgnt was correct and could fully assist Ye Fan, yet she didn’t realize such results ant Ye Fan wouldn’t interfere in the last calamity, leaving him in a dinsion without it.
"What should I do? Will I never see Ye Fan again?" Li Zhaojun feared, as she couldn’t connect with her original world at all.
At that mont, she felt soone waking behind her but saw Min Shang first rise in the dilapidated warehouse, followed by Lan Jing.
Due to Min Shang and Lan Jing’s relatively high cultivation, and Min Shang’s nearly Pure Yin Spiritual Energy, he could awaken alongside Lan Jing despite lesser cultivation. The rest, even Shen Yan, showed no signs of waking.
After they awoke, they found the world before them seed different than before.
The spiritual energy in this world was very thin, and their energy wasn’t accumulating but depleting.
Both were restricted by so force, unable to break free with spiritual energy.
"Sister, what happened?" Min Shang saw Li Zhaojun standing there, nervously asking, "Why are we here?"
Li Zhaojun replied apologetically, "Sister, it’s my fault. I’ve hard you all. We... may never see Ye Fan again!"
