Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1480 - 1476: Fire Sun God

"Ye Fan, the Alliance Hierarch, is about to have a new marriage. Why is it that he brings me along on this exploration of the ancient relics in the Arctic?" Wu Ding was completely unaware of the purpose of this journey; she didn’t yet know about the relationship between Ye Fan and Xi He.

Ye Fan said, "Senior Sister is being too polite. In my eyes, you will always be Senior Sister. On the day we arrived on Earth together, I was immensely grateful for all the help from Senior Sister, and it remains deeply appreciated in my heart!"

Wu Ding’s expression showed a trace of sadness, "In the heart of the Alliance Hierarch, I am merely a servant. I will not ask further about the Alliance Hierarch’s movements and purposes; please lead the way, Alliance Hierarch!"

Ye Fan said nothing more and set off with Wu Ding towards the Arctic.

At the same time, Liu Ye returned to Earth; the person he wanted to meet was the Mysterious Woman. Ye Fan brought Li Zhaojun and Min Shang to the secret realm, while the Mysterious Woman temporarily stayed on Earth. Liu Ye carried Nuwa’s instructions and returned to connect with the Mysterious Woman.

When Liu Ye arrived at the Mysterious Woman’s abode, she was still studying a few magical artifacts in her hands; those artifacts were left from ancient times, and she was trying every means to awaken Pan Gu and Fu Xi.

"You’ve come, why are you still sneaky?" The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman turned to look at Liu Ye, her tone was full of murderous intent.

"Are you still trying to challenge Nuwa’s authority? Let me tell you, Nuwa’s majesty cannot be challenged by anyone. Even if Pan Gu and Fu Xi awaken, they cannot prove Nuwa’s decisions wrong, they are just too indecisive, not understanding that destruction is rebirth!" Liu Ye said.

"Destruction and rebirth? If you kill living beings, it would be more terrifying than a celestial calamity. Who is truly the destroyer?" The Mysterious Woman questioned.

"But destruction can also preserve the power of living beings. During a celestial calamity, the spark of life can be preserved. After the calamity ends, the spark of life can be reignited. All life could undergo a journey from nothing to existence again, why not?"

Liu Ye’s demeanor showed some yearning.

"That is Nuwa’s thought, not mine. My belief has always been in Pan Gu, only his words are correct. The celestial calamity must be resolved by human strength, not ancient cultivators. Now, Ye Fan has risen, and he might change the celestial calamity!" The Mysterious Woman said sternly.

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Ye Fan’s power is too insignificant, even if he has ancient Immortal Artifacts, he cannot change the world’s destructive calamity. Now you are enemy rather than friend with him, he won’t be influenced by your thoughts. Mysterious Woman, you are now truly alone!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman picked up a magical artifact resembling a copper bowl from the table and threw it at Liu Ye, but her cultivation was lost, and she was not on the same level as Liu Ye.

Soon, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman realized her body was suspended as Liu Ye captured her.

"What are you doing?" The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman wanted to struggle, but the constraints of the flesh prevented her from breaking free.

"Taking you to meet Nuwa, only Nuwa can help you. I also want to help you, don’t stay lost in your ways!" Liu Ye finished speaking and disappeared from Earth, taking the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman towards Tai Yuan star, where Nuwa was temporarily hidden.

Ye Fan brought Wu Ding to the Arctic and easily found the ancient relic he had explored previously. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

At this moment, the ancient relic no longer contained any breath of life; when Nuwa departed, she directly destroyed the power within the relic, turning it into an almost snow-and-ice land.

Ye Fan let Wu Ding stay on the surface of the Arctic, and he descended alone into the ice cavern. His understanding of Xi He’s purpose was unclear, and the gap in cultivation between him and Xi He was significant, making it impossible to pinpoint Xi He’s exact location. So he could only proceed step by step.

It wasn’t until he arrived outside the hall where he previously discovered the small purple crystal that he felt a flow of Spiritual Energy, generated by Xi He.

Ye Fan entered but found the hall empty. After flying a few kilometers further inside, he came upon a second hall.

At that moment, Xi He stood in the center of the hall, holding the previous purple Crystal Ball in one hand and supporting himself with a staff in the other, looking up at a large statue. The statue seemed to be of a man, emanating many rays of light.

The entire statue was carved from ice and snow.

"What is this?" Ye Fan landed beside Xi He and asked.

Xi He did not look over but sighed softly and said, "According to legend, this is the Fire Sun God, which is myself. When Nuwa intended to create me, she initially planned to mold me as a male body, which would facilitate cultivating Yang energy and mastering the powers of fire and the sun. But unexpectedly...alas!"

Ye Fan was slightly surprised in his heart that Xi He was actually lamenting at his own statue?

"There is actually no need for you to be sentimentally touched, this statue isn’t you; perhaps it’s just an ancient creator’s imagination!" Ye Fan comforted.

Xi He turned his head slightly to face Ye Fan, and with a gentle smile said, "Are you trying to comfort me now?"

"I am not comforting you; I am speaking the truth!" Ye Fan replied.

"You don’t need to say anything more. There is some Pure Yang energy here; you can absorb it first and then come in to see me. I need a brief amount of time to tidy up!" Xi He said.

Ye Fan didn’t know what Xi He needed time to tidy up, but beneath the colossal statue, there were several cylindrical columns, each emitting very pure Pure Yang energy.

"Only I can enter here; the Maiden desires to absorb these energies but can only approach the vicinity as she dares not to come close to this energy!" Xi He finished speaking and went around the statue, entering inside.

Ye Fan closed his eyes and, very swiftly, absorbed all the Pure Yang energy from the columns.

Because these energies had high affinity with him, after absorption, he felt no resistance within his body.

Once he sensed his internal energies had stabilized, he walked around the statue. Passing through the ice gate behind the statue, the sight before him was dazzling.

It was like a grand garden crowded with clusters of flowers, nestled within countless blooms he had never seen, now blossoming, and at the center of the floral array, Xi He was kneeling. Now Xi He’s hair was let down, very long, at about two meters, and pure silver-white in color; it was the first time Ye Fan saw her true hair.

Before Xi He lay the purple Crystal Ball, upon which hovered the woman’s Soul Body, and Xi He seemed oblivious to Ye Fan’s arrival.

At this moment, she was dressed in a very simple gray-white long dress, like a classical beauty.

"This is where I was born," Xi He said. "Earth, it counts as my home too, but in the following tens of thousands of years, I have never returned because I don’t want to face these sorrowful memories. Today, here, I have six hours of time, purely as a woman, one who understands tenderness and empathy."
