Ye Fan gazed at the remnant of Nuwa’s body, contemplating how to track Nuwa’s whereabouts.
For him, if he couldn’t even capture Nuwa’s whereabouts now, then there was no need to ntion confronting Nuwa, nor defeating Nuwa. Nuwa’s power surpassed his imagination, and he never thought the gap between his power and Nuwa’s would be this vast.
"Why didn’t Nuwa kill ? If she wanted to, I might not even have a chance to retaliate. Nuwa’s power is too formidable; I don’t know how I can battle her!"
Ye Fan was very conflicted. He finally understood what Xi He ant back then: to be cautious of one’s enemies, and never make Nuwa an enemy. Not only does Nuwa possess mighty power, she also has an understanding of human physiology that Pan Gu and Fu Xi do not possess.
After all, cultivators are humans at heart—descendants created by Nuwa. No one dares to guarantee whether Nuwa planted weaknesses in human bodies that can be exploited at any ti, just as Ye Fan is familiar with Xi He, Xuan Nu, Su Nu, and Sang Yuan’s cultivating elents.
When Ye Fan prepared to return to Earth, Nuwa’s power had almost completely vanished, and Ye Fan could not trace any evidence of Nuwa’s presence.
This was what frustrated Ye Fan the most—he felt no opportunity to defeat Nuwa.
At this mont, Ye Fan decided to visit Nuwa’s clone, hoping to find so ans of dealing with Nuwa from it. This clone was hidden by Ye Fan on Earth, but Ye Fan was unsure whether Nuwa would rescue it. Perhaps in Nuwa’s eyes, this clone was already a aningless, discarded pawn. Given Nuwa’s proficiency, she wouldn’t need to care about a clone with lower cultivation than Ye Fan and immature thinking.
When Ye Fan returned to Earth, Xuan Nu and Xi He were present.
Ye Fan directly descended in Hua Hai City, a place of unexplained ties for him. He had set up a secret elental cage in Hua Hai City, imprisoning Nuwa’s clone.
"Did the master see Nuwa?" Xi He heard the news and furrowed her brows. She was sowhat concerned about Ye Fan eting Nuwa, because she always advised Ye Fan to avoid Nuwa, but he seed not to heed this. If Ye Fan died, all those bound by the Blood Oath to Ye Fan would perish.
Ye Fan said, "Yes. Though I’ve t her, I’m still unsure whether she truly is Nuwa; it’s just that her power is overwhelming, like a drop of water compared to a river!"
Xuan Nu confidently said, "That must certainly be Nuwa. Otherwise, how could a clone possess such formidable power?"
Xi He said, "That’s not necessarily so; Nuwa has many clones, and no one can ascertain which is her true form. Additionally, she can create illusions, making one of her clones appear powerful. Otherwise, how could the Yellow Emperor perish for a fake Nuwa? This is the most perilous aspect of Nuwa—you never know when she might suddenly erge, and you dare not rashly probe, because once you encounter a genuine form, offending Nuwa ans death..."
"Regardless of whether Nuwa is real or not, I must attempt to find if there is a chance to break the life force Nuwa controls. Yet, I feel there is more power within her beyond the life force, none of which I can contend with! So be it; you two need not accompany . I have matters to attend to that don’t concern you!" Ye Fan said.
Xuan Nu and Xi He bowed and retreated to the side, their bodies soon disappearing like Nuwa. However, Ye Fan could sense the residual power of Xuan Nu and Xi He and could track where they went.
...
...
Ye Fan first conveyed a few words over the phone to Sun Ning, then went to the cage imprisoning Nuwa’s clone.
By now, Nuwa’s clone had been hidden from the world for many days. Upon seeing Ye Fan, she eagerly approached and asked, "How long do you intend to imprison ?"
Ye Fan said nothing. The place where Nuwa was imprisoned was more like a vast stadium; it was simply a space Ye Fan established and did not belong to the usual cosmic space—it was an elental space created by Ye Fan.
"Your words are quite rude, but I won’t bicker with you," Ye Fan sat at the far end of the space, as there was no spiritual energy or other forces within this elental space, rendering Nuwa’s clone entirely unable to cultivate, leaving her staring blankly like a prisoner.
Nuwa’s clone angrily said, "Don’t you feel we shouldn’t relate like this? Your feud is with Nuwa, not ! How can you treat like this, I protest..."
"Protest denied. I still need to explore more about Nuwa’s life force from you," Ye Fan said. "I suppose I’ve seen Nuwa’s true form, her power is overflowing—all the hundreds of s combined couldn’t stand against her!"
Nuwa’s clone furrowed her brows and said, "You’ve seen my true form? Humph, why didn’t she kill you?"
"Maybe she feels there’s no point in killing , for my existence poses no significant threat to her—instead, it might threaten the Heavenly Tribulation she cares about!" Ye Fan said. "Nuwa’s reappearance is linked to the impending Heavenly Tribulation. Although I don’t know how significant this connection is, I assu Nuwa stands against the Tribulation rather than supporting it!"
"You speak of Nuwa before , acting as if I’m fake, don’t you?" Nuwa’s clone said angrily.
Ye Fan sneered, "What else? I must confront Nuwa and need to break life force. Aside from you, who else can give such a key?"
As he spoke, Ye Fan scrutinized Nuwa’s clone like a superior, "Are there things I should teach you?"
"You!" Nuwa’s clone wasn’t entirely ignorant of Ye Fan’s aning, but as soone who always believed herself to be a mighty ancient being, the humiliation she was enduring was difficult to accept internally, the fact she was a false clone was sothing she wanted to deny. Yet now she had to accept it, and bear being owned by a human, "Ye Fan, must you be so domineering and adamant?"
Ye Fan’s expression remained calm, "At present, I can’t conceive of another way to resist Nuwa, so you must temporarily sacrifice a bit. If you want to beco Nuwa’s true form, you must stand with , for I’m the only one who can assist you; you can’t deny that, can you?"
Nuwa’s clone pondered it, nodding unwillingly, because Ye Fan’s words were indeed true.
Only Ye Fan could assist her.
Ultimately, she could only grit her teeth and step by step approach Ye Fan.
