Chapter 2128 - 2124: Waiting for Ye Fan

Although Ye Fan woke up, his memory has not fully recovered.

Regarding the Heavenly Tribulation and the mission to save it, he has no clear impression in his mind. Seeing the Blue Crystal and six small crystals, he can’t even recognize them, let alone complete the mission to save the Heavenly Tribulation.

Within the Pangu Mystical Realm, Li Zhaojun and Xi He had just arrived together at Heavenly Peak Mountain.

This is where Ye Fan disappeared. It was here that Ye Fan lifted that Divine Weapon, and it was here that Ye Fan succumbed to madness.

"I can feel Ye Fan’s presence here, but I’m not sure where he is now," Li Zhaojun said. "You’ve been with Ye Fan for a long time, and your cultivation level is higher than mine. Can you detect anything?"

Since Li Zhaojun could not find Ye Fan, she could only place her hope of finding him on Xi He. After all, Xi He had an inexplicable cultivation level, and Li Zhaojun felt that trusting Xi He was a relatively safe approach, especially since Xi He had made a Blood Oath with Ye Fan, indicating a strong connection between the two.

"I don’t know!" Xi He shook his head. "Although the master’s last presence was here, I’m not sure where he went afterward. If you, mistress, think I should know something about the master, it’s a misunderstanding... The power corrupting the master is the Heavenly Tribulation, and even Pan Gu and Fu Xi cannot handle it, let alone a mid-tier cultivator like me."

Li Zhaojun thought for a moment and finally shook her head helplessly, still pondering about Ye Fan’s situation.

Heavenly Peak Mountain was very quiet. After several explosions and collapses, the mountain had returned to its original height. Li Zhaojun had no idea why this happened, and even Xi He couldn’t explain it. Heavenly Peak Mountain was naturally a focal point for the Heavenly Tribulation, the needle embedded by the forces of the Heavenly Tribulation within the Pangu Mystical Realm, and Pan Gu and Fu Xi were powerless against it.

"Ye Fan disappeared here. At that time, he should have been with Lan Jing, the one he painstakingly sought out. In my view, Lan Jing is a very insightful and visionary girl. I admire her, but she has lived alone for too long, making her appear inadequate in handling sudden events," Li Zhaojun said.

"Yes!" Xi He nodded. "Lan Jing, as a spirit, still has many shortcomings. The master also wanted to help her, but time was too short."

Li Zhaojun looked at Xi He again and said: "You understand Ye Fan’s attitude towards Lan Jing better than I do. I have a favorable impression of Lan Jing. I know she would never harm Ye Fan. After enduring two rounds of Heavenly Tribulation, the entire Pangu Mystical Realm has suffered significant damage. I want to help Ye Fan break free from the control of the Heavenly Tribulation. Do you have any ideas?"

Faced with Li Zhaojun’s question, Xi He still shook his head, which made Li Zhaojun feel very helpless. In these matters, she felt as powerless as a mortal, and the threat of the Heavenly Tribulation was too great for her to change its course, leaving her mind in turmoil.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, descending like a divine being. When this person appeared, both Li Zhaojun and Xi He became extremely cautious. The visitor was none other than Pan Gu, the ancient power and founder of the Pangu Mystical Realm.

This time Pan Gu did not bring Fu Xi; he came alone. When he landed on Heavenly Peak Mountain, he did not glance at the two women, as if Li Zhaojun and Xi He were insignificant to him. Xi He looked at Pan Gu and said, "You came here for the purpose of finding my master’s whereabouts?"

Pan Gu turned to look at Xi He and finally shook his head: "I don’t really care whether Ye Fan is alive or dead. His existence can be both a salvation and a disaster for ancient cultivators, and his disappearance just proves one thing: humans cannot play a decisive role in the order of the Heavenly Tribulation and the entire celestial way."

These words greatly displeased Li Zhaojun. Initially, she did not have the right to converse with Pan Gu, nor would she say anything, but she couldn’t help retorting: "If Ye Fan can’t do it, can you? You ancient cultivators shirk the responsibility of saving the Heavenly Tribulation onto mortals, yet brazenly ridicule Ye Fan here. You’re not qualified!"

"Heh!" Pan Gu looked at Li Zhaojun, smiling, "A little human girl dares to speak to me like this. If it were before, I would’ve made you disappear instantly from the universe, but I won’t bother with you, partly in Ye Fan’s favor. In answer to your question, I don’t underestimate humans. On the contrary, I’m cautious about Ye Fan. Besides him, there’s no one else with an energy body that can contend with me. This Heavenly Tribulation is a trial for both me and him. If we surpass this trial, he could elevate himself beyond me and dominate the cosmos!"

Xi He shook his head and said, "Pan Gu, everyone knows you must have a plan. You won’t let Ye Fan succeed easily! Are you still going to hide your intentions and let us guess your purpose?"

Pan Gu said, "I came here to search for Ye Fan’s whereabouts, just like you. Ye Fan indeed disappeared before, but now I feel his power. Although I don’t know where he is, I know he must be safe. Before the next round of Heavenly Tribulation, he should return here... this is the place where he left the universe, and he will inevitably reappear here... so I am waiting for him."

Li Zhaojun frowned: "You want to wait for Ye Fan here, planning to attack him when he returns? I haven’t misunderstood, have I?"

"Why would I attack him? He is crucial to saving the Heavenly Tribulation. Killing him wouldn’t do me any good, so don’t use your beliefs to infer my intentions—that’s a very biased thought. I said I wouldn’t kill Ye Fan; consider it a promise. It’s up to you whether to believe it or not! Now I’m going to wait here for Ye Fan’s appearance. If he emerges, I will use it to arrange the next plan! I want to know how much he has improved since he left! Furthermore, I want to know if he intends to destroy the living realm or come back to save it!" Pan Gu looked again towards the peak of Heavenly Peak Mountain, refraining from observing Li Zhaojun and Xi He, his demeanor becoming even more aloof.
