Chapter 522: Chapter 464: Prepare the Coffin

Night had fallen, and the street lamps on both sides of the road lit up, their milky white light illuminating every corner of Hospital 301. The light was not harsh, giving a sense of tranquility.

In the darkness, a special licensed car drove out of the inner courtyard of Hospital 301. Bai Yuan leaned back in the rear seat, feeling a chill on his back.

It seemed he had not yet recovered from the shock brought by Ye Fan’s words.

"That kid has evidence?"

It wasn’t until the car had left Hospital 301 that Bai Yuan finally calmed down and quietly asked himself.

"Impossible!"

"Given that kid’s way of doing things, if he really had evidence, he would have used it to his advantage by now. Moreover, Yan would not have remained indifferent. That kid was bluffing me!"

Having calmed down, Bai Yuan thought back to everything that had just happened, rejected this possibility, and felt relieved but also played.

Rage ignited in his heart once again!

In his annoyance, he also knew that the current situation was very tense and critical. The Ye Family might very likely launch a counter-offensive soon, and he absolutely could not sit back and wait for death, or else all the efforts of the Bai Family would have been in vain.

Thinking this, Bai Yuan’s eyes sharpened. He took out his highly secure private phone and dialed a number to arrange countermeasures.

Meanwhile.

Ye Zhen and Ye Wenhao together helped Ye Yuanshan into the inner courtyard building, while Yan followed behind, ready to discuss some matters with Ye Yuanshan.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan was downstairs with Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji.

"Master, that slap you delivered was so satisfying; my little heart was pounding wildly." As soon as she saw the four entering the inner courtyard building, Chu Ji giggled and started flattering Chu Xuanji.

"When you executed the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique just now, a golden vortex appeared above your head, wildly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Afterward, you were injured by Heaven’s Punishment, and I used my mind to check your injuries, but found that a crimson golden light outside your consciousness blocked my probe. Yan’s probe of your consciousness was also blocked by that crimson golden glow, and his consciousness was unstable."

Chu Xuanji ignored Chu Ji’s flattery, but stared straight at Ye Fan and said, "He said there is a terrifying intention inside you. Could that intention be the secret you once mentioned to me? Is it also the basis for your ability to execute the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique?"

Hearing Chu Xuanji’s words, Chu Ji also recalled the strange scene when Ye Fan executed the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique, and looked at Ye Fan curiously, waiting for him to reveal the secret.

"That crimson golden vortex was transformed from a Crimson Golden Crown."

At this point, Ye Fan knew that he had to tell Chu Xuanji about the Crimson Golden Crown in his body, otherwise if Chu Xuanji mistakenly thought that there was a powerful soul inside his body, he would be restless.

"Crimson Golden Crown?"

Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji both exclaimed in unison. They had never seen Ye Fan take out the Crimson Golden Crown before, nor had they ever heard Ye Fan mention it.

"Yes."

Ye Fan nodded and said, "I only discovered it after coming down from the mountain this time. At that time, I was in Ao Xiang Villa, and the person in charge of the Yanhuang Organization in Dong Hai, Lu Wen, had injured my consciousness. The Crimson Golden Crown suddenly appeared and helped me repair my consciousness."

"Is it a Magic Artifact??"

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words again, both Chu Ji and Chu Xuanji did not speak, but looked at Ye Fan in shock—they had never heard of an object in this world that could repair the consciousness!

"At first, I also thought it was a Magic Artifact, but there is no Magic Artifact in the cultivation world that can be invisible and guard the consciousness. Later, I went back to Spirit Mountain and searched through ancient books but never saw such a Magic Artifact in the books. I am not quite sure what it specifically is."

Ye Fan was also puzzled.

"Then what about the terrifying intention that Yan mentioned? Is there a powerful soul surviving because of the Crimson Golden Crown you mentioned?"

Gradually recovering from his shock, Chu Xuanji looked worriedly at Ye Fan.

He had read many ancient books, and once saw in a book that a cultivator, when facing death, could use a secret technique called ’Reincarnation’ to attach the remnants of a soul to a Magic Artifact, use the Artifact to survive, and then at an opportune time, possess the body, eliminate the original owner’s soul, and be reborn.

At the time, Chu Xuanji had seen the record in the ancient book and had conducted some deductive research, ultimately finding it impossible to achieve.

But—

Previously, when Yan mentioned that there was a terrifying intention inside Ye Fan, Chu Xuanji thought that what Ye Fan just said was very similar to the situation of ’Reincarnation’ recorded in the ancient book.

"There shouldn’t be. I have never sensed a strong soul presence inside the Crimson Golden Crown."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but recall the terrifying aura that occasionally appeared when the Crimson Golden Crown absorbed the two powerful souls from the Bloodline Token last time, but seeing Chu Xuanji’s worried face, he finally chose to lie, shaking his head in denial.

Because he did not want Chu Xuanji to worry about this!

"That’s strange then."

Chu Xuanji frowned, puzzled.

Ye Fan saw this, relieved, and said, "Master, although I don’t know what that crimson golden crown is, it has done me no harm. Moreover, if there were a powerful soul within the crimson golden crown, it would have taken over my body already, as the ancient books recorded."

"That is also true."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Chu Xuanji also felt it made sense. The worry between his brows gradually faded, replaced by anticipation, "Originally, I had high hopes for you, believing you to be the only one in this world who might break through to that legendary realm, potentially paving the way for all cultivators in the Gang Qi Realm. Now, with that mysterious crimson golden crown inside you, my confidence in you is even greater."

"Master, it’s a bit early to talk about that now."

Chu Ji was also full of anticipation, "Compared to him breaking through that legendary realm, I’m more excited about him shining brightly in this year’s Qing Bang competition! With his current strength, even if he encounters Emperor Bai of the Bai Family, he won’t be afraid!"

"Emperor Bai, nominally a disciple of that old man Jie Dao, but since Wu Mu has been serving the Bai Family for so many years, he most likely also tried to teach Emperor Bai both magic and martial arts—Emperor Bai might well be a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts," Chu Xuanji suddenly said.

"No... really? If Emperor Bai really has surpassed the Half-step Gang Qi Realm in his martial cultivation, and if he cultivates magic as well, wouldn’t he be invincible below the Gang Qi Realm?" Chu Ji exclaimed, her face losing color.

Ye Fan was also slightly startled. If Emperor Bai was merely at the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, he wouldn’t fear him, but... if Emperor Bai was really a dual cultivator as Chu Xuanji said, then with his strength, he probably still wouldn’t be a match.

"It’s just a guess, we’ll only know during the Qing Bang competition," Chu Xuanji said, squinting slightly.

"Moreover, as far as I know, this year’s Qing Bang competition is unlike any previous year. Geniuses from all the great sects and martial arts families will participate, making it the most prestigious Qing Bang competition in the history of the Huaxia cultivation world."

"Why?"

Ye Fan was puzzled, "Haven’t all the martial arts sects and families participated in the Qing Bang competition before?"

"That’s not it. It’s just that the participants in the past competitions weren’t as strong as this year’s," Chu Xuanji explained with a wry smile, "Twenty some years ago, the quantity of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, which was originally scarce on Earth, suddenly increased, leading to a resurgence of prosperity in the cultivation world. At the same time, many children born during those years, with good talents and foundations, were groomed as successors by various sects and families but remained unseen till now. They should be emerging this year."

"I see," Ye Fan realized.

"You don’t need to worry. You are currently at the Peak stage of Innate but are already capable of contending with, even killing, those in the Half-step Gang Qi Realm. If you break through to the Realm of Innate Great Perfection, with your strength, no one below the Gang Qi Realm will be your match!" Chu Xuanji said proudly, considering Ye Fan’s special method of martial cultivation and the cultivation level displayed during the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique. "Even if you can’t break through the Innate Great Perfection Realm, with your current strength and your numerous life-and-death battle experiences, you still have a chance to contend for the top—those flowers raised in greenhouses can’t stand your beating!"

"Master, rest assured. Xiao Fan has managed to cultivate from Postnatal Perfection to the Peak stage of Innate in less than a year—it’s definitely not difficult for him to break through to Innate Great Perfection,"

Chu Ji, unaware that Ye Fan had 108 vital acupoints capable of generating Power Seeds and storing power, making his cultivation speed extremely slow, was full of confidence in Ye Fan.

Ye Fan remained silent, he had initially thought that his current strength was definitely not inferior to Emperor Bai, who occupied the first place in the Qing Bang, but now, he wasn’t so sure.

"You previously succeeded in extending Ye Yuanshan’s life by about a year. According to your plan, you also need to refine the ’Lifespan Extension Pill’ mentioned in the ancient books. Not only does the Lifespan Extension Pill require a vast array of materials, but many are also rare and hard to find. If you want to gather these materials, relying solely on auctions might not suffice; you’ll need to seek them out yourself."

Chu Xuanji paused to think, then asked, "Are you planning to close up and focus on breaking through the Innate Great Perfection Realm to prepare for the Qing Bang competition in six months, and then go gather the ingredients after the competition, or do you plan to collect the materials while cultivating?"

"I think Xiao Fan should first close up and focus on enhancing his strength," Chu Ji proposed, "As for the materials for the Lifespan Extension Pill, I’ll send people to find them. Even if they can’t gather enough after the Qing Bang competition, he will still have six months to collect them himself, so there’s no need to rush."

"No. I’ve decided to travel around, collecting materials for the Lifespan Extension Pill while I cultivate," Ye Fan shook his head, rejecting Chu Ji’s proposal.

This time, by using the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique to extend Ye Yuanshan’s life, he had depleted the essence of Heaven and Earth stored in the crimson golden crown.

Given that, if he were to cultivate conventionally, it would be difficult to break through to the Innate Great Perfection Realm in six months. The only way was if he stumbled upon an opportunity to use the ability of the crimson golden crown to absorb and convert all Primordial Qi from the surroundings to enhance his strength.

Just like before when the crimson golden crown absorbed the Pure Yang Qi and the weird flow from the Taiyin Xuan Sword and the Bloodline Token, transforming them into the essence for Ye Fan to absorb.

"When do you plan to set off?"

Chu Xuanji asked, indirectly consenting to Ye Fan’s decision.

"I’ll first return to dong hai, and set off in a few days," Ye Fan said.

"You’re going to save that Pan Jueming, aren’t you?"

Chu Ji was perceptive but somewhat worried, "Since the news of Ye Yuanshan’s critical condition spread, I’ve been unable to hear any news about him. Hopefully, he is safe."

"If he is dead, the Bai Family had better prepare at least ten coffins!"

Ye Fan slowly spoke, his tone chillingly cold.
