Invincible Young Master in the City

After confirming that Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting couldn’t gain acknowledgment from Taining, Ye Fan also verified that many women around him weren’t Taining’s masters.

Previously, he wondered if it was because most of the women around him had cultivation levels that were too low to gain Taining’s acknowledgment, but by now he was almost certain that whether someone could become Taining’s master wasn’t largely related to their cultivation level. Instead, the way Taining acknowledges its master remains debatable. As for whether there is another way to trigger Taining’s acknowledgment mechanism, even if Ye Fan had suspicions in his heart, he didn’t have the time to verify them.

Ye Fan first sent Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting back, then returned to Li Zhaojun and Min Shang’s side. Li Zhaojun comforted him, "Ye Fan, you don’t need to worry too much. It seems like there might be some issues with Taining’s acknowledgment mode. If you can make some breakthroughs on the acknowledgment issue, you might find Taining’s master."

Ye Fan shook his head slightly and said, "The only way now is to have people attempt willingly. Taining probably can’t track down the existence of its master itself, and this is what troubles me. Initially, when you and I infused our Spiritual Energy into Taining, we didn’t suffer any backlash, maybe because we have some connection with Taining’s master, but as to who it is... it’s hard to say."

"Maybe... you should bring everyone around you to try?" Li Zhaojun tentatively asked.

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun. He knew Li Zhaojun was in a difficult position. For a woman to accept her man having dealings with other women was one thing, but to also accept Ye Fan’s affection for other women—now, to help Ye Fan, she had to let him bring other women close to her. As a woman, this would understandably make her feel wronged, but she had no other choice, because the situation had become so urgent that if the chosen one couldn’t be found, Ye Fan’s previous efforts would have been in vain, and she wouldn’t be able to assist him.

For Ye Fan, she could only make some psychological sacrifices, all in exchange for the safety of the entire world of living beings.

"No need for now," Ye Fan said. "The situation hasn’t become that critical yet. If, in another day or two, when the sky-reaching disaster is about to happen, I believe the chosen one will naturally be found."

Ye Fan was still confident about finding the chosen one, but as for when they’d be found, he wasn’t as sure. From the perspective of the world of living beings, finding them sooner meant actions could be taken sooner. Not finding them for a long time wasn’t a good outcome for the living beings either.

Ye Fan was also calculating in his mind who the chosen one might be. Now that Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan were both unconscious, he couldn’t judge if they were the chosen one. As for Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, they were probably not, and now he confirmed that Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting weren’t. The options were indeed narrowing down. It seemed only Zhao Tianya, Zhao Lina, or Lu Xiaoman were left, or perhaps one of the women he had collected after entering Pan Gu’s secret realm.

However, he also thought of a previous woman whose cultivation level broke through very quickly and had a significant impact on him — Shen Yan.

But he didn’t know Shen Yan’s whereabouts, thus he had no idea how to verify if Shen Yan was the chosen one.

"Let’s take one step at a time," Ye Fan finally said with a calm mindset. "Entering the world of cultivation was entirely a coincidence for me. Trying to identify the chosen one now is practically too difficult. It’s better to attempt breaking through with my cultivation. To solely rely on ancient prophecies is a mindset of not progressing."

Li Zhaojun nodded and said, "Then let’s do as you say, Ye Fan. I will follow your lead no matter what."

...

...

Not only was Ye Fan looking for the chosen one’s whereabouts, but even Pan Gu and Fu Xi were making their last efforts and attempts. Now, it seemed everyone wanted to know the chosen one’s identity, to determine whether the chosen one could help the world of living beings, or themselves.

Nuwa’s method of searching would be more direct; she would use secret probing techniques to follow Ye Fan, ensuring she wasn’t detected by him.

As for Pan Gu and Fu Xi, they would present themselves with a bit of seniority, not directly tracking or engaging with Ye Fan. Instead, they used their thoughts to probe certain matters, as if all the world’s changes were under their control, requiring no direct action to detect many shifts.

Neither Pan Gu, Fu Xi, nor Nuwa had detected who was the ultimate chosen one, as it was also difficult for them to judge any criteria for the chosen one. On Ye Fan’s side, he could at least use Taining’s acknowledgment method to determine the chosen one’s identity, but Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa didn’t even have Taining’s methods, leaving them to guess almost blindly who it might be.

"Ye Fan himself has been searching for a long time without knowing the chosen one’s whereabouts—do we still need to search?"

After Fu Xi opened his eyes, he asked Pan Gu, who was still concentrating on detecting with his eyes closed. To him, continuing the endless search seemed almost meaningless.

Pan Gu didn’t open his eyes but said, "The best approach nowadays would be to bring everyone around Ye Fan here directly, but this is also the most unwise method. Right now, the ancient prophecy almost indicates that the chosen one is near Ye Fan, and beyond that, there’s no more information. If this matter wasn’t led by Ye Fan, then what we’re doing might seem laughable."

"If it really isn’t Ye Fan, or someone close to him deciding the fate of the final disaster, what we’re doing now would just be a joke. But I’m sure you won’t believe this has nothing to do with Ye Fan, right? You would surely think Ye Fan already has the qualification to challenge ancient powers, thus naturally having such cultivation. I don’t want to explore how high his cultivation will ultimately reach. I know Ye Fan’s potential far exceeds ours. Killing him now is actually the best choice."

Fu Xi seemed to be testing Pan Gu’s true thoughts while speaking.

Yet Pan Gu continued to probe something with his eyes closed, without responding to Fu Xi.

Fu Xi finally closed his own eyes and said, "Before long, Ye Fan may even lose the capability to control himself, and we ancient cultivators will also lose our nature. The disaster is inherently a force driving people mad. By then, we would all be fighting for our gains, not intentionally sparing humanity, and Ye Fan would fight us regardless of the cost... The disaster is the root of the final chaos. If we can’t fundamentally alter the disaster, it’s better for everything to return to its original state, where we and humanity don’t interfere with each other!"
