Ye Fan found it laughable that a woman came before him saying she was a messenger of some ancient divine power. Did that mean she had a cultivation level higher than an Immortal?

Ye Fan said, "I don't know who you are, but I'm curious what your intentions are in seeking me out."

The woman gave a faint smile and said, "Young Master Ye, let's speak plainly. You have the Copper Mirror within you, a remnant Spiritual Artifact left from ancient times. It's original function wasn't significant, merely forming a second Golden Core within the body through reflections. However, it has the power to see through all illusions, and even Demonic Qi cannot hide from it. It's also the only way to locate the four hidden great powers. We would like you to find these four great powers so they can join forces to fend off the great catastrophe."

The Copper Mirror can reveal illusions; Ye Fan had witnessed it, even illusions created by the Shadowless couldn't immerse him, and the Demonic Qi from the Evil Spirit Banner couldn't approach him.

But finding ancient great powers with the Copper Mirror was something he had never tried, nor had he seen any sign of it.

"Young Master Ye doesn't believe it? Perhaps." The woman looked at Ye Fan as if she could see through his body, "Currently, the Copper Mirror only contains two protector bells, missing the third. Once you have the third protector bell, Young Master Ye can use the Copper Mirror to find the whereabouts of the four great powers."

Ye Fan shook his head, "Even if I find them, it's useless. With my abilities, I can't change their will."

"That's not necessarily true." The woman smiled, "They all have their weaknesses. If you can find their weaknesses, they will follow you."

"What's in it for me? Why should I help you? I'm not the chosen one. The so-called chosen ones are supposedly selected by those ancient great powers, right? Since you're their messenger, you should know who that person is. Why not send that person instead?" Ye Fan was very annoyed, trying to solve the issues concerning the Tianxuan Sect, and now he's faced with a madwoman who can create illusions in front of him and wants him to seek out some ancient great powers.

The woman sternly said, "As for the chosen one, it is indeed not Young Master Ye... but it is closely related to Young Master Ye. That's also why the ancient Immortal Artifact Taining doesn't counter Ye Fan and Miss Li, because you both come from the same lineage. If Young Master Ye feels it's futile, I pledge that as long as Young Master Ye accepts our request to help find these four great powers, we will resolve your troubles for you... like the grudges of the seven major sects against the Tianxuan Sect."

Ye Fan asked, "How do you plan to resolve it?"

The woman smiled, "The core of illusion lies in time, space, and matter. If these three can be controlled, Young Master Ye can create illusions himself. I can grant Young Master Ye such abilities, allowing you to travel from any point within the Pangu Secret Realm to any location in the universe, including Earth. You can also traverse from anywhere in the universe back to the Pangu Secret Realm. Moreover, you can possess the ability to convert time and matter, stopping time..."

"Are you kidding?" Ye Fan suddenly felt terrified. If time could be stopped during a battle, wouldn't the person holding such power be invincible?

Then why fear the great catastrophe?

The woman shook her head, "I understand what Young Master Ye is thinking. However, the Spiritual Bodies in the great catastrophe transcend the physical and material. No power can warp their time, so... they can only be resisted with energy, but even all the energy in the universe might not be a match for these Spiritual Bodies..."

Ye Fan raised a hand, stopping the woman from continuing, summing up, "You want to use the power to change time, space, and matter in exchange for me seeking the four great powers to bring them back to fend off the great catastrophe?"

"Yes, does Young Master Ye accept?" The woman asked with an eager look.

"That depends on how strong the power you're giving me is."

The woman smiled, and the scene suddenly shifted. The two left the illusion of the primitive forest and appeared inside a room.

This room, Ye Fan knew well because it was Lu Xiaoman's room.

On the bed lay someone, precisely Lu Xiaoman, and next to the bed was someone leaning against the side, pouting and watching TV, holding a remote and murmuring incessantly, "Annoying brother-in-law..."

It was Mo Xiaoyan.

"Is this a projection?" Ye Fan asked, "Or an illusion?"

"Neither, this is what's happening before your eyes. Once I teach you the techniques of conquering time, space, and matter, these will no longer be obstacles for you, and you can appear before them instantly. But, be reminded that with your current cultivation, you might not reach such a level, so you'll need to gradually obtain such abilities..."

Ye Fan, with disbelief, said, "I don't believe it, unless you let me appear before them now."

"Alright." The woman nodded slightly, waved her hand, and Ye Fan felt a heaviness in his body, suddenly appearing in the center of the room. Mo Xiaoyan, initially watching TV, suddenly sensed a dark presence and instinctively attempted to attack, but the aura was familiar, quickly realizing it was Ye Fan.

"Bro... brother-in-law... Why did you come back?" Mo Xiaoyan looked at Ye Fan, astounded.

Ye Fan closed his eyes, feeling the surrounding world, it seemed real, unlike an illusion, and the Copper Mirror inside him showed no reaction.

"I... came to see you both," Ye Fan said.

Mo Xiaoyan said, puzzled, "But you appeared before me suddenly, does cultivating Immortality grant such powers?"

Mo Xiaoyan didn't wake Lu Xiaoman, instead, she jumped barefoot from the double bed and pulled Ye Fan's arm, carefully checking if Ye Fan was injured or missing a limb.

"Annoying brother-in-law, you came to see sister, thinking I wouldn't be here, so you want something good with sister, right?" Mo Xiaoyan pouted, glaring at Ye Fan.

"No, this time I'm actually here to see you." Ye Fan laughed.

"Really?" Mo Xiaoyan showed a smile, "At least you have a conscience..."

She said, and Mo Xiaoyan tiptoed up, gave Ye Fan a heartfelt kiss, her small tongue mischievous; these were details only shared between them over time, and even if the woman wanted to create illusions, she couldn't know such particulars. This proved it was indeed real.

Having shared a heartfelt kiss with Mo Xiaoyan, their lips parted, Mo Xiaoyan's face still flushed, yet she guiltily glanced back at the sleeping Lu Xiaoman.

At that moment, a voice sounded in Ye Fan's ear, "Aren't you suspicious the world before you is false? You can go outside and check for familiar small details to confirm whether this world is indeed the one you reside in. If you confirm and tell me, we can proceed with the transaction. Actually... you have nothing to lose."
