Chapter 1805: Chapter 1801: The Cultivation of Li Zhaojun and Min Shang

Before Ye Fan arrived at the Death Sea, Sang Yuan had already brought people over. She had re-investigated the situation around the Death Sea but did not find any clues related to Li Zhaojun’s disappearance.

"Master!" Sang Yuan appeared beside Ye Fan, with a bit of fear in her expression because she had not excellently completed the task Ye Fan had assigned.

"How come? You didn’t find anything in your investigation?" Ye Fan asked.

Sang Yuan didn’t dare to answer Ye Fan directly. She could only stand there with her head down, not daring to look Ye Fan in the eye.

Ye Fan said harshly, "I asked you a question, didn’t you hear?"

Sang Yuan replied, "In response to Master, the servants have searched the skies over the Death Sea but did not find any clues related to Mistress. Please punish me, Master!"

Ye Fan did not want to punish Sang Yuan because he knew Li Zhaojun’s disappearance had nothing directly to do with Sang Yuan. Now, to find clues related to Li Zhaojun, he could only explore some small backgrounds. Most importantly was the clue of Nuwa because Ye Fan had thought before that only Nuwa might have enough power to bypass the restrictions of the Pan Gu secret realm.

"Xi He, can you now investigate clues about Nuwa?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.

Xi He said, "Why does Master ask this? I have no connection with Nuwa. How can I find clues about her?"

"Now, only finding Nuwa, especially her true form, can provide the biggest clue to Zhao Jun’s disappearance. Do you have any clues about Nuwa’s whereabouts?" Ye Fan asked.

"If Master wants to find Nuwa, it’s not without opportunity, but... Master probably won’t accept it!" Xi He suddenly said.

"Oh?" Ye Fan examined Xi He with a determined expression.

Xi He said, "The best way to find Nuwa now would be to awaken Pan Gu and Fu Xi. If Master continues not to awaken them, the events inside and outside the Pan Gu secret realm are already uncontrollable, but doing so would affect Master’s authority. If Pan Gu and Fu Xi will awaken sooner or later, why not face them earlier, Master?"

"You mean for me to meet Pan Gu and Fu Xi? Hmm, you think too simply. Their cultivation far exceeds mine. Why wouldn’t I wait to awaken them until I have self-protection ability, maybe even surpassing their cultivation? Facing them too early is practically courting death; I won’t agree to your suggestion! I won’t create another dangerous situation in hopes of solving an existing one. To me, Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s danger is clearly greater than Nuwa’s. I won’t do it!" Ye Fan replied.

"Everything is still decided by Master; I can’t determine this matter!" Xi He closed her eyes, refraining from imposing her opinions because she knew Ye Fan often acted self-centeredly, never listening to her suggestions.

Ye Fan looked at the Death Sea and said, "We can only start searching the vast Death Sea now. The Death Sea’s area equals thousands of Earth’s surface area. Although thoroughly examined several times before, mysterious forces still linger. Xi He, Dao Zhen, and Sang Yuan, you each go investigate. Whoever finds useful clues will be heavily rewarded!"

"Yes!" Sang Yuan and Xi He left immediately, followed by Dao Zhen.

...

...

Ye Fan was still investigating Li Zhaojun’s whereabouts, but Li Zhaojun had already left the Pan Gu secret realm and returned to Earth.

Because she carried a suppressive force on her body, this power could block Ye Fan’s investigation. Li Zhaojun was the one most familiar with Ye Fan’s cultivation, allowing her to hide from him.

"Sister, where are you taking me?" Min Shang looked at Li Zhaojun, feeling some danger, yet she completely trusted Li Zhaojun, leaving her conflicted about how to face the situation.

Li Zhaojun said, "Don’t worry, little sister. I won’t harm you. I’m only taking you to a place that can help Ye Fan. You don’t want to always be protected by Ye Fan without helping him, and instead being a burden, right?"

Min Shang thought carefully and nodded firmly, saying, "Sister is right; I don’t want to be a burden to Ye Fan. I want to help him..."

"That’s it. From now on, we have many ways to help him. The most important one is to improve our own strength, allowing us to have the ability to help!" Li Zhaojun said.

Min Shang looked at Li Zhaojun, with a bewildered expression, and said, "Helping Fan is certainly good, but some things... saying you can help doesn’t mean you can. Fan’s cultivation has reached a high level now. I’d rather have him protect me or not trouble him. Only then am I truly helping him. If I don’t do well and instead upset him, I feel I’ve done wrong!"

"That’s your own thought!" Li Zhaojun said, "As women, we can’t be too selfish. Shang, little sister, I brought you back to Earth to complete the final training with you. This training should allow us to ascend, even surpass Ascenders in cultivation, and truly help Ye Fan. Are you willing to join me?"

"What kind of training?" Min Shang still did not understand.

Li Zhaojun said, "This training directly involves Pure Yin Spiritual Energy. After Ye Fan’s transformation, your cultivation is close to mine, both nearly resembling a Ta Yin physique. The training I plan to undertake is mentioned in the final step of the Heart Sutra. As long as we work together sincerely, we can quickly complete the final step. By then, we will have significance for Ye Fan. The time won’t be very long, just about a day!"

"Only a day? That’s fine, anyway, Fan often doesn’t return when he’s out working!" Min Shang heard it only takes a day and relaxed, thinking it wouldn’t cause Ye Fan any anxiety.

"Then let’s begin!" Li Zhaojun said, already taking Min Shang to an area in Africa on Earth, a grassland that looked ordinary and posed no danger from people or mysterious forces. Just as Min Shang wanted to ask something, Li Zhaojun gestured for silence.

"You just need to follow my instructions to train. Once completed, we will ascend. My cultivation will be slightly higher than yours, so I’ll wait for you. After ascending, we’ll undertake a second training in the celestial realm, only then can we truly help Ye Fan!" Li Zhaojun said firmly.
