Chapter 989 - 1089: Alone in Silence
After returning to Taihuo Peak, Ye Tianfan immediately saw the anxious Tian Chu Zhenren.When Tian Chu Zhenren saw Ye Tianfan, he first let out a deep sigh of relief and then, somewhat choked up, said to Ye Tianfan, "It's good you're back, it's good you're back. If you hadn't returned, both your Sect Leader Shibo and I would have had to go out and find you!"
However, Tian Chu Zhenren quickly noticed the sadness on Ye Tianfan's face, and instantly understood that Ye Tianfan already knew about Yun Tian's situation, as well as the situation of those who went out with him!
Tian Chu Zhenren stepped forward and patted Ye Tianfan on the shoulder, then said, "Take it easy, life and death partings are a common thing in the world, and moreover, they died fighting against the Demon Sect, they died as heroes, deaths they are worthy of. You've really only been cultivating for five years, so you've experienced very few life and death partings, even in the previous organization event, although many people died in that incident, you weren't really involved. By the time you returned, the battle was already over, so you didn't truly witness the heavy casualties Taihuo Peak suffered that time, they were just numbers to you, and the ones who died were mostly unfamiliar to you. But this time, those who died were comrades who ate and drank with you for days, and among them is Yun Tian, whose fate is unknown. I know you have a good relationship with Yun Tian, and now that his fate is uncertain, you are very sad. But Tianfan, you must remember, rather than being sad here, it's better to think of how to avenge them!"
Ye Tianfan, upon hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, pursed his lips, wanting to speak but ultimately saying nothing. However, Ye Tianfan knows that what the expedition comrade said is true; rather than being sad here, he should think about how to improve his strength and then seek revenge against Tian Chun!
"I understand, Master, don't worry, I won't be stuck in this sorrowful mood forever. I will strive to improve, make myself stronger, and then personally slay Tian Chun!" Ye Tianfan said with his slightly hoarse voice!
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Tian Chu Zhenren knew that Ye Tianfan couldn't snap out of it in a short time, so Tian Chu Zhenren told him to have a good rest, and if there's any news, he would let Ye Tianfan know immediately.
Ye Tianfan nodded and then walked towards the cultivation cave, wanting to be alone in a quiet place; nothing is more peaceful than the cultivation cave!
Tian Chu Zhenren saw Ye Tianfan heading towards the cultivation cave rather than his resting room, wanted to call out to him, but after extending his hand, ultimately didn't.
Forget it, let Ye Tianfan have some peace and quiet to think on his own, after all, Ye Tianfan's psychological resilience isn't as poor as I thought. Let him contemplate quietly by himself. Although Tian Chu Zhenren thought this way, he still looked worriedly at Ye Tianfan's back.
At this moment, Tian Chu Zhenren felt some resentment toward Taichu Zhenren for assigning such inaccurate intelligence for Ye Tianfan's task, moreover, such a task should have been executed by someone at Elder level, while Ye Tianfan is merely at Thousand Source realm, and along with him only Yun Tian, his senior nephew, is also at Thousand Source realm; the rest are at Wanxuan realm. If there was no danger, it would be fine, but once danger arose, it's just like what happened, with significant casualties!
Tian Chu Zhenren also couldn't anticipate that Taichu Zhenren, assigning Ye Tianfan to complete this task with several others, was aimed at building Ye Tianfan's prestige, and to establish Ye Tianfan's prestige, he must start by dealing with the most difficult individuals.
If they all recognize Ye Tianfan, under their influence, the number of people recognizing Ye Tianfan would gradually increase. This way, when Ye Tianfan becomes the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect, there won't be much resistance. After all, the entire Taichu Peak's disciples mostly favor Yun Tian as the next Sect Leader, but now Yun Tian no longer qualifies, hence Taichu Zhenren plans to support Ye Tianfan.
Still, he hadn't anticipated encountering such circumstances during their first task together with Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan entered the cultivation cave and sat down cross-legged, letting out a deep sigh!
Although Ye Tianfan knew that after being discovered by Tian Chun they would suffer casualties, he never expected such significant losses. Had he not inadvertently entered Penglai Immortal Island, Ye Tianfan might have been on this death list too.
Ye Tianfan thought about it and clenched his fist fiercely, realizing he is still so weak. He had believed he could wrestle with people at the Hundred meetings realm, but when facing a true boss, he realized he's too weak, and this incident made him recognize the cruelty of the cultivation world. Though Ye Tianfan always knew this world was survival of the fittest, he had been sheltered well and hadn't truly understood the harshness of such a world.
But now things are different. Ye Tianfan truly felt the uncertainty of life and death concerning his friends, and those senior brothers have died! To know they were still laughing and flying towards Xuanqian Cave a few days ago, but now they're separated by life and death!
Suddenly Ye Tianfan felt a bit powerless, feeling not as strong as he imagined, realizing he was quite ordinary in the face of absolute strength!
However, Ye Tianfan soon filled himself with confidence again, for after coming out of Penglai Immortal Island, he has transformed entirely. If it were him before entering Penglai Immortal Island, now he could defeat that previous self a hundred times over, perhaps even in seconds.
Furthermore, he learned fire-powered artifact refining, and his refining method differs from current techniques, adopting methods from ancient times, which could produce Supreme Magical Treasures and include the Power of Laws!
It's unlike the current way where refining even a Rare Magical Treasure is extremely challenging, and high level treasures require various high-grade materials to succeed!
Ye Tianfan thought if he could refine an artifact specifically restraining Tian Chun, then with his current strength, he should be able to kill Tian Chun!
Of course, at present, Ye Tianfan's biggest shortcoming isn't materials, but information about Tian Chun. If he could obtain detailed information about Tian Chun, he could easily forge a countering artifact!
Ye Tianfan plans to inquire from the Sect Leader Shibo whether there's any available information on Tian Chun, since it has been several days since Senior Brother Yun Tian was severely injured and returned to Taichu Sect.
