Chapter 589: Chapter 525 Ye Fan’s Mother’s Secret_2

"Yes, the more people we have, the more strength we have. If we gather all the strong people in the Hua Xia Cultivation World at Mount Tian, maybe we can discover something," Yan nodded.

"That’s a good idea. I think we should not hold it at the Tian Shan Sword Sect, but right here instead,"

Chu Xuanji pointed at the glacier beneath his feet, speaking through the snow, "The concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here is obviously higher than other places, and it’s the site of the incident, which is beneficial for hosting the Qing bang contest and investigating secrets."

"Each Qing bang contest has been hosted by a sect or a Martial Arts Family. It might be somewhat inappropriate to hold it here. Moreover, this place was where the incident occurred. If a major incident happens again during the contest, the consequences are unpredictable," Yan frowned slightly.

"Let the Tian Shan Sword Sect be the host, and we can hold the competition here. As for... any incidents occurring again, I think there’s nothing to worry about—at that time, we will have numerous cultivators from the Gang Qi Realm. Even if a sudden incident occurs, we will be able to leave with all the participants calmly," Chu Xuanji said.

"That’s also true,"

After a brief contemplation, Yan felt that Chu Xuanji’s words made sense and said, "Since there’s nothing unusual here, there’s no need for us to stay. I will return to the Tian Shan Sword Sect now to discuss the arrangements for the Qing bang contest with Cang Bo."

"Alright, you go ahead,"

Chu Xuanji nodded, once again casting a complicated glance at Tumur Peak.

Seeing this, Yan, fully understanding Chu Xuanji’s reasons, wasted no words and left, manipulating Qi to propel himself away.

"Old fellow, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Chu Xuanji’s complex expression and the faint sadness in his eyes, Ye Fan could not help but ask.

"This is the place where your mother died," Chu Xuanji sighed softly.

"What... what?"

Astonished by Chu Xuanji’s words, Ye Fan was taken aback and blurted out, "Did my mother commit suicide by jumping off the cliff here?"

"Yes."

Chu Xuanji wanted to say something else but, thinking it over, felt the timing was not right and swallowed back his words. He merely nodded slightly.

Receiving a confirmed answer, Ye Fan stood frozen, his mouth slightly open, completely stunned.

Chu Xuanji also remained silent, his thoughts unknown.

"I heard from my aunt that she followed you here to Mount Tian for a secret cultivation. She met my mother, and then they lived together, but she did not practice martial arts with you. Instead, my mother taught my aunt the ’Jade Maiden Sword Technique,’ and also taught my dad a very powerful martial arts technique," Ye Fan, regaining his senses after a while, couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly happened?"

"Back in the day, Wu Mu and Jie Dao surpassed me in martial arts cultivation. I was no longer obsessed with shortcuts and focused on cultivation, so I brought Ji with me to Mount Tian for a secret cultivation. In our second month on Mount Tian, suddenly one day, I noticed a violent fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi at the location of Tumur Peak and went to check it immediately. That’s when I encountered your mother,"

Chu Xuanji seemed to be lost in memories, with a hint of emotional fluctuation in his voice, "At that time, your mother was severely injured and had fainted. I brought her back, gave her a Nirvana Pill, and saved her life."

"You mean the increase in Earth’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi back then was because of my mother?" Ye Fan was utterly astonished.

"At first, I really thought so and tried to ask her after she woke up, but who knew she suddenly left the next day,"

Chu Xuanji sighed and said, "Later, a few months passed and she came back to the place where I was in seclusion. She told me that she was the sole descendant and heir of a hidden Martial Arts Family, and that day she wanted to gather herbs on Mount Tian but was knocked unconscious by a loud noise emanating from Tumur Peak. She knew nothing about the increase in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on Earth."

"To thank me for saving her, she offered to give me a Cultivation Method of Martial Arts, but by that time I had already created ’Xuansha Fist,’ and pridefully believed ’Xuansha Fist’ to be the premier martial art in this world, so I refused her kindness. Thus, she passed on the ’Jade Maiden Sword Technique’ to your aunt Ji, as a token of thanks."

"Your aunt Ji quickly befriended your mother while learning the ’Jade Maiden Sword Technique,’ and eventually persuaded your mother to stay in Mount Tian. Later on, the Ye Family pulled some strings, bringing your father Ye Wenhao to seek medical help on Mount Tian, leading to what happened later,"

As he finished speaking, Chu Xuanji looked puzzled and said, "Later, after your mother left this world, I scoured ancient books, trying to find the ’Jade Maiden Sword Technique’ in order to learn about your mother’s family background, but never found it."

"Uh..."

Ye Fan was dumbstruck, and it took him half a minute to barely regain his senses, with an unbelievable thought emerging in his mind, "My mom appeared at Tumur Peak, died at Tumur Peak, and now, Tumur Peak has undergone changes again, with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on Earth increasing once more... Could all this truly be related to my mom?"

"Logically, it’s impossible, but all this is too coincidental," Chu Xuanji pondered thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan didn’t understand.

"Your mom was merely an Innate Great Perfection Cultivator; with her strength, it’s impossible for her to cause something as preposterous as an increase in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Furthermore, the sudden increase in the planet’s Primordial Qi this time should be due to the Crimson Golden Crown inside you, as far as I know, she didn’t possess a Crimson Golden Crown,"

Having said this, Chu Xuanji’s tone suddenly changed, and he said with a wry smile, "But as you mentioned, both incidents are somewhat related to her, to say they are coincidental is hard to convince anyone."

"This is really giving me a headache."

After listening to Chu Xuanji’s explanation, Ye Fan scratched his head, appearing as puzzled as a monk who cannot find his temple.

"Let’s not talk about this now," Chu Xuanji said, suddenly recalling something, and asked, "By the way, you mentioned that the Crimson Golden Crown was damaged?"

"It feels like it, but I can’t be sure," Ye Fan hesitated and replied.

"According to ancient texts, concocting ’Lifespan Extension Pill’ also triggers Heavenly Tribulation, and the power of that tribulation is not inferior to the one caused by ’Heaven-defying Fate Changing.’"

At these words, Chu Xuanji spoke with deep concern, "If the Crimson Golden Crown inside you is indeed damaged, then it won’t be able to help you resist the Heavenly Tribulation while you are concocting the Lifespan Extension Pill. When that happens, even if Yan and I both assist you, we cannot ensure your safety—the attack on the consciousness is something only you can withstand, outsiders can’t assist you!"

Ye Fan fell silent, his brow furrowed deeply, his expression becoming extremely solemn!

Because.

If Chu Xuanji’s hypothesis stood correct, then he would have to abandon his plan to concoct the ’Lifespan Extension Pill’!

If that happened, not only would he be unable to enhance his Cultivation by concocting the ’Lifespan Extension Pill’ in the Qing bang competition to defeat Emperor Bai, but also the plan to extend Old Master Ye’s lifespan would be scrapped, thereby unable to assist his father Ye Wenhao in reaching the Red Summit!

And if he forced the concoction of ’Lifespan Extension Pill,’ he simply would not be able to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, ultimately leading to his demise!
