Invincible Young Master in the City

Master Ming Ye looked at Li Zhaojun and asked, "So, disciple, do you still think you have a choice now? What you need to do, others may not know, but I am well aware, because you are my successor. Let me put it this way, my cultivation level is still higher than yours, and it will greatly assist you. You should understand that my cultivation state is at its peak right now. Only I can assist you adequately. If you listen to me, your cultivation will improve as well. Isn’t that the best result?"

Li Zhaojun hesitated; she genuinely wanted to accept Master Ming Ye’s offer, but she feared Master Ming Ye might have ulterior motives to exploit her.

Min Shang interjected, "Sister, this person harbors dubious intentions. We should not listen to her. What if she’s here to harm Fan?"

"Why would I want to harm Ye Fan? His achievements now determine the future of cultivators, and even immortals’ destiny. If I harm him, it would mean that after the Heavenly Tribulation, I would perish with him. What benefit would that be to me? Am I here to seek mutual destruction with him?" Master Ming Ye said disdainfully.

Li Zhaojun responded, "How could we know your intentions? We want to assist Ye Fan now, but you do not share our resolve. Even if some of the women around Ye Fan have grievances with him, they would never harm him. Your intentions differ from theirs."

"So what you mean is, my appearance is to harm Ye Fan and exploit you? I’m not a positive character, so you won’t agree with me, is that it?" Master Ming Ye said coldly.

Li Zhaojun shook her head and said, "I don’t want to outright accept you now. Of course, I don’t want to outright reject you either. I wish to give you a chance... but you need to prove yourself with your actions that your intentions towards Ye Fan are benevolent and not exploitative, which would leave me unable to explain to Ye Fan."

"You are a clever woman!" Master Ming Ye nodded approvingly, "Among my many disciples, your cultivation and insight should be the best. Furthermore, you are luckier than others; you gained Ye Fan’s favor and are Ye Fan’s wife. Your future achievements will undoubtedly be high. Even if the women around Ye Fan have great abilities, they must listen to you, simply because you are Ye Fan’s rightful wife and others are merely accessories to Ye Fan!"

"Saying these words doesn’t help show your sincerity," Li Zhaojun said. "I truly wish to assist Ye Fan in my own way now. If you have goodwill, it’s best to first gain Ye Fan’s forgiveness. If Ye Fan agrees to accept you, then I will consider bringing you into the effort to assist Ye Fan. If you cannot achieve this, you don’t need to come to me anymore; I won’t accept your words!"

Master Ming Ye seemed very angry, "Disciple, speaking like this is a great disrespect to me."

"I have shown you much respect already; it’s you who need to grant yourself necessary trust. We are not Ye Fan; we cannot decide whether you are accepted. Those who can assist Ye Fan this time must fulfill one condition: a heartfelt love for Ye Fan and a desire to help him overcome difficulties. If you are not one of them, please leave. We don’t need someone like you pretending here. You understand what I mean, right?" Li Zhaojun appeared strong before Master Ming Ye and said.

Master Ming Ye said, "If not for needing your help, upon hearing your words, I would have almost wanted to kill you. You are oblivious, but I still respect you; after all, you are Ye Fan’s rightful wife. Okay, I will first meet Ye Fan, let Ye Fan know my value. Then, perhaps you won’t reject me any longer?"

"It depends on the situation. I don’t yet know Ye Fan’s attitude toward you. If Ye Fan accepts you, I think you can join this endeavor. But let me remind you: If you inform Ye Fan of this, you will never be accepted by us. I will certainly not agree to you helping Ye Fan... be careful on your own!" Li Zhaojun said.

Master Ming Ye chuckled coldly, seemingly at a loss with Li Zhaojun, yet under the circumstances, she had to consider whether to accept Li Zhaojun’s terms.

Li Zhaojun’s position was no ordinary one now; just by being Ye Fan’s rightful wife, anyone wanting to become Ye Fan’s woman must give her face. Despite Master Ming Ye’s discontent with Li Zhaojun, there was something she had to acknowledge: she could not challenge Li Zhaojun. No matter how arrogant she was, she must recognize that Li Zhaojun could decide who would remain by Ye Fan’s side in the future.

...

Ye Fan emerged from the Hundred Immortals Building accompanied by Sang Yuan.

Sang Yuan seemed like an ordinary woman, giving Ye Fan the impression of complete obedience without any resistance.

Ye Fan said, "The Pan Gu Secret Realm is indeed a special place. Only cultivators can enter here. Remember, if any ancient powerful beings enter, you must inform me... but these beings will certainly hide their cultivation level. I have laid many detection points within the Pan Gu Secret Realm; I can easily sense their presence. Monitor some for me. If anything happens, come back to inform me. I want to know what purpose these people have for entering the Pan Gu Secret Realm."

"Yes, my lord, I will remember!" Sang Yuan bowed respectfully.

Ye Fan first brought Sang Yuan back to Tiancheng, and within Tiancheng, members of the seven major sects had each returned to their mountain gates.

Now it was nearly time for the final arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation. Members from the seven major sects were preparing to use their mountain gates as the ultimate barrier to resist the Heavenly Tribulation. Even though they understood that in the face of Heavenly Tribulation, there was essentially no room for resistance, they still wished to make a last stand—even if it meant dying—as an acknowledgment of their efforts.

Ye Fan looked up at the sky and said, "The Heavenly Tribulation should use the Pan Gu Secret Realm as a starting point because it’s the place with the strongest spiritual energy in the entire universe. Perhaps that’s why Pan Gu created such a place. In the universe, spiritual energy is the most easily absorbed by the human body and can also be gathered infinitely. What the Heavenly Tribulation targets is actually the energy of spiritual energy, so the upheaval caused by the Heavenly Tribulation to the Pan Gu Secret Realm is the most significant. Now, there are limited ways I can aid the secret realm. Given my current state, fully resolving the Heavenly Tribulation remains very challenging. At that time, the Pan Gu Secret Realm may have to be abandoned."

Ye Fan seemed somewhat bewildered, "However, the final place to resolve the Heavenly Tribulation must be consistent with the ancient prophecies; it is on Heavenly Peak Mountain."
