Chapter 2086 - 2082: Something Even Pan Gu Is Powerless Against

No matter how much Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting tried to coax Tantai Wanrong, it was difficult to see a smile on Tantai Wanrong’s face.

She seemed to have aged many years at once; Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting still wanted to train with Tantai Wanrong, yet Tantai Wanrong appeared fatigued and disinterested, as if she didn’t want to practice any cultivation techniques with the two little girls.

"You two train by yourselves. I feel like I’m already beyond my limits, and if I don’t do well, I might even hinder your cultivation progress," Tantai Wanrong said.

"Auntie, what’s wrong? Do you lack confidence in yourself? You’ve always been so energetic, yet seeing you this time, you seem to have no motivation at all," Qin Mengyao asked.

Tantai Wanrong replied, "You two little girls are very fortunate to have met Ye Fan so early. Perhaps you haven’t experienced the malice in people’s hearts in this world. The greatest happiness for you is to have a healthy life, but I can’t do that. I’ve gone through too many things. To maintain my former mindset, to face Ye Fan and then to face you—it’s almost impossible! Yaoyao, you’d better go back with Xiaoxiao. I have many things to consider, and if you’re here, your presence might greatly affect my train of thought!"

"Oh!" Qin Mengyao was puzzled inside, not knowing what her aunt was thinking. Nonetheless, since it was Tantai Wanrong’s request, she didn’t voice any objections and could only take Yang Xiaoting and leave together.

"Auntie, will you be lonely here? If you are, let us know, we’ll come over quickly. Don’t let anything weigh heavily on your mind; we’ll be very concerned for you, as will Brother Fan, and many others will care about you too!"

Qin Mengyao’s flickering eyes were filled with a sincere gaze, making it difficult for Tantai Wanrong to harden her heart in front of her little niece.

Tantai Wanrong said, "You two should go quickly. After you return, you can train well. I believe you’ll definitely be able to help Ye Fan. I trust in your perseverance and determination!"

"Alright!" Qin Mengyao took Yang Xiaoting and left.

After the two girls left, Tantai Wanrong felt a sense of loss, as if everything had become meaningless to her.

"Is my mindset really old now? Maybe I shouldn’t think about so many things. Ye Fan and Zhao Jun, along with Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao—they’re good inside. It’s just...I can’t taste everything from a normal person’s perspective anymore. Perhaps Zhao Jun’s actions were right too, and it’s something I cannot comprehend. Alas! What’s going on..."

Tantai Wanrong didn’t know why she felt so much melancholy and sadness. In the end, she shook her head, appearing quite helpless, and returned to sit on the sofa.

"Should I need to train too, to improve my cultivation and help Ye Fan? But why does it feel like doing this is of little significance to me?" At this moment, Tantai Wanrong’s expression was filled with confusion, yet she proceeded to train, though not together with Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting.

...

...

Ye Fan returned to the Pan Gu Secret Realm.

This time, Ye Fan returned to make final preparations before the celestial tribulation.

The celestial tribulation was unexpectedly impending, and in Ye Fan’s view, it could occur at any moment. Actually, only an hour remained until the final prophecy.

In terms of Pan Gu Secret Realm time, it was only ten hours.

Upon returning to the Pan Gu Secret Realm, Ye Fan was actually seeking someone related to the celestial tribulation. This person was none other than the former master of the universe, Pan Gu.

Pan Gu was currently on Heavenly Peak Mountain. Like Ye Fan, he seemed to be searching for clues regarding the celestial tribulation. When Ye Fan arrived, Pan Gu looked at Ye Fan with a curious gaze and said, "Even you’re uneasy about here?"

"Pan Gu, you’re the creator of the Pan Gu Secret Realm. You should know where the Pan Gu Secret Realm is vulnerable. From my judgment, aside from the Tianxuan Sect’s mountain gate, this should be the source of the celestial tribulation disaster!" Ye Fan said.

At this time, Ye Fan was accompanied by someone—it was Xi He. Pan Gu glanced at Xi He, shook his head, and said, "You’re still not clear about the entire layout of the Pan Gu Secret Realm. The mountain gate you mentioned at Tianxuan Sect, those two mountains, are due to a mistake when Nuwa was creating the Pan Gu Secret Realm, leaving a gap in the sky that needed fixing, but nobody fixed it!"

"Oh?" Ye Fan curiously examined Pan Gu in front of him.

Pan Gu continued, "Actually, Xi He knows about this, hasn’t she mentioned it to you?"

Ye Fan glanced at Xi He, who appeared very calm. She replied, "Regarding the layout of the entire Pan Gu Secret Realm, it’s decided by the ten ancient greats. Since I am not one of the ancient greats, how could I have the authority to know about these matters?"

"Haha, Xi He, do you really need to explain everything so early? You’re really a bit too naïve. Ye Fan actually doesn’t suspect you. I was merely stating a fact!" Pan Gu seemed to continue sowing discord.

Ye Fan raised his hand and said, "Pan Gu, there’s no need to continue. I don’t care whether this matter is related to you, but there’s one thing I must declare: As Pan Gu, as the master of the universe, do you need to ask others about the weaknesses of the Pan Gu Secret Realm you created? For you, excluding the entire Heavenly Peak Mountain should be quite easy, right?"

"I can’t do that!" Pan Gu appeared helpless, saying, "Perhaps, Ye Fan, in your view, if I designed something poorly, redesigning it would suffice. But I must remind you, the Heavenly Peak Mountain in the Pan Gu Secret Realm is like a needle; if I remove it, the entire Pan Gu Secret Realm would be destroyed by the void. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Ye Fan frowned, saying, "So, you never dare to do anything about it?"

"You are very correct. The Heavenly Peak Mountain has issues, and it indeed renders me powerless. I have thought about using some methods to change it, but I don’t have the capability. Hence, the final result is you and I both standing here, witnessing everything, yet unable to do anything. There is indeed a secret within Heavenly Peak Mountain, as it involves the power of the celestial tribulation. I wish to change everything, but I lack the ability... Ye Fan, you lack the ability too, isn’t that so?"

Pan Gu examined Ye Fan and asked.

Ye Fan nodded, saying, "Even you don’t have the ability, and for now, I naturally can’t change everything!"

"But you will eventually change it. The celestial tribulation is about to occur, and you’ll have to face it alone; I won’t help you with anything!" After speaking, Pan Gu seemed to no longer want to speak with Ye Fan and vanished instantly.
