Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1551 - 1547: Another Place Destroyed
The situation has been exposed, and Sang Yuan can only use the most direct method, which is to "kidnap" Qiao Feixuan and Ning Huwen to the Pan Gu Mystical Realm. This is the only way he can think of, as the two elderly ladies, upon realizing she was using deceit, would no longer listen to any of her reasoning.
After Sang Yuan kidnapped the people to the Pan Gu Mystical Realm, he immediately had the believer Ta Mo Xing use the Jade Talisman to communicate the situation to Ye Fan, also expressing his apology for his rude actions.
When Ye Fan learned of the situation, he was still exploring the second ancient ruins on Ta Mo Xing. In these ruins, Ye Fan and his group dove deep into the lakebed but still found nothing. This site felt small due to its proximity to the surface, leaving little to explore.
"There are many spiritual beasts in the lake, but they can only threaten low to middle-tier cultivators. Ye Fan, do you think that girl with the surname Li would hide people here?" Xuan Nu asked in a questioning tone.
Ye Fan did not speak at the moment; he was receiving the contents of the Jade Talisman transmission. When he learned that Sang Yuan used a near-forceful manner to send his mother and Li Zhaojun’s mother to the Pan Gu Mystical Realm, Ye Fan was not angry, as he knew Qiao Feixuan and Ning Huwen’s defense against strangers was formidable. Even he would struggle to deal with his mother and mother-in-law, let alone Sang Yuan.
He understood Sang Yuan’s predicament and was not thinking of punishing him.
"Ye Fan, I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?" Xuan Nu said angrily.
Ye Fan sized up Xuan Nu and said, "Can you not sense the strong power hidden beneath these ruins?"
When he said this, not only Xuan Nu but also Su Nu were surprised because they hadn’t sensed anything different about the ancient ruins in the lake. After renewing their search, they still found nothing. Xuan Nu was embarrassed to admit she wasn’t as perceptive as Ye Fan, an ordinary human, but she was concerned about her daughter’s safety. She could only ask with a stern face, "You can sense it?"
"Yes," Ye Fan replied openly, "the pressure I sense comes from elemental power. If you can’t feel it, it may be because your spiritual energy doesn’t have enough affinity with the elements. But I can feel the elemental force buried underground in Ta Mo Xing, frighteningly powerful, thousands of times stronger than Ta Mo Xing’s own energy core!"
Xuan Nu was silent in contemplation, but Ta Mo said, "You’re saying Ta Mo Xing’s internal energy hasn’t depleted?"
Ye Fan glanced at Ta Mo, aware that she was a native of Ta Mo Xing. After the Ta Mo Xing people discovered her ability to foresee, they treated her as a freak and isolated her. Later, Ta Mo escaped from Ta Mo Xing and eventually met Ye Fan on Earth.
Ta Mo, innately concerned about Ta Mo Xing’s fate, carries this sense of responsibility and mission.
Ye Fan said, "The energy core maintaining life on Ta Mo Xing is depleting. What I suspect is that the energy within Ta Mo Xing is so strong that it compresses the energy core to cause this."
Ta Mo appeared somewhat sorrowful, asking, "Is there any way to save Ta Mo Xing?"
"I don’t know," Ye Fan shook his head. "Perhaps, only by unlocking the secrets of these ancient ruins! Why Ta Mo Xing was formed, why it exists around a cosmic black hole yet harbors life—these puzzles confound me!"
Xuan Nu was slightly displeased, saying, "Stop rambling; even if there are powerful elemental forces below, you still need to quickly find my daughter. I’ve sensed her power waning..."
Lanjing’s energy was originally bestowed by Xuan Nu, so she could sense the energy depletion to a certain extent.
A change in Lanjing indicated that something might have happened on Li Zhaojun’s side, adding pressure to Ye Fan.
"Since you lack affinity with elemental energy, leave it to me!"
Ye Fan suddenly unleashed a palm strike, aiming directly at the lakebed. This time, instead of using spiritual energy, he harnessed elemental power infused with six types of elemental forces. These forces could penetrate the surface of the matter without causing destructive impact on ordinary material, meaning they could pass through the lakebed and through the crust, entering the core of Ta Mo Xing’s formidable elemental power.
As this energy delved deeper, Ye Fan felt the continuous changes in subterranean elemental power. Initially, the underground attempted to absorb Ye Fan’s energy, but upon discovering the unmatched purity of his energy, it began to resist.
"Boom..." The ground quaked, a result of the collision between two powerful elemental forces within Ta Mo Xing.
"Huff huff..." Ye Fan could sense the structural changes within Ta Mo Xing’s crust using his Tongling Mirror, even hearing some peculiar sounds emanating from within. Strings of energy cores erupted from the elemental forces like parasites freed from a host, seeking a new host.
"What’s happening?" This sudden burst of energy cores was easily sensed by Xuan Nu.
What Xuan Nu sensed was a massive accumulation of subterranean energy, similar to what was encountered at the first ruins, and the potency of these energies far exceeded her imagination.
"Let’s go!" Ye Fan simply yelled, having anticipated that these energy cores were latent dangers within Ta Mo Xing. Perhaps the energy core on Ta Mo Xing wasn’t strong itself, but this energy core’s affinity with these odd spiritual bodies allowed them to be hosts.
Xuan Nu and Su Nu understood what was happening, quickly using spiritual energy to bind Ta Mo and the female cultivators sent by Sang Yuan, and the group swiftly moved towards the third ruin. Meanwhile, the spiritual bodies escaping from the second ruin began to surface, slaughtering the beasts on the surface.
These spiritual bodies seemed eager to find the source of their disturbance, but by now Ye Fan and the others had left, leaving the spiritual bodies searching in vain.
...
...
"Another place has been destroyed, they are very close to finding us!" At some location on Ta Mo Xing, a black shadow watched Li Zhaojun.
Li Zhaojun remained silent, continuing with the ritual.
The changes occurring in the ritual were immense, the wheel of time was still turning, and she seemed intent on shifting time forward, but due to the irreversibility of three-dimensional space-time, Li Zhaojun completed this not entirely within one space.
Li Zhaojun herself felt the overwhelming spiritual pressure, but her heart was filled with sincere love for Ye Fan, showing no compromise or wavering.
"Soon, I believe I can complete it!" Li Zhaojun replied to the black shadow using her spiritual sense.
