"You're back? Look, the sacred object has returned as well. Hehe, the animals and plants here can live again. I'm so happy."

Lan Jing held Ye Fan's hand and walked around the large blue crystal, just like a cheerful little girl, eager to share her joy with the person she most wanted to talk to.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "It's good that it's restored. Do you plan to stay at the bottom of the sea and not come back with us?"

"Uh?" Lan Jing, who had been very happy, suddenly looked confused. Her expression towards Ye Fan was also a bit complex.

She hadn't been out with Ye Fan for very long, but they had been to many places, even the secret realm of Pan Gu together, eaten lots of delicious food, worn beautiful clothes, and even learned makeup and grooming from Li Zhaojun. All of this was much happier compared to her solitary life at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing Lan Jing's confusion, Ye Fan pulled out the small blue crystal from his collar. The small blue crystal was playing with the small red crystal and was not happy about being taken out suddenly.

"It should also return to where it belongs." Ye Fan placed the small blue crystal back into the gap of the large blue crystal, but as soon as he let go, the small blue crystal quickly jumped down and burrowed back into Ye Fan's collar.

"It doesn't want to stay," Lan Jing said, not looking very disappointed, as if she had expected this outcome.

Ye Fan smiled and asked, "And what about you?"

"Me? I... I want to go out with you guys," Lan Jing said. "Although my mother asked me to stay and guard the sacred object, protecting it can be the same as well. Also, you haven't pushed me yet."

Because Lan Jing's words were so naive, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile, as if there was an unfulfilled promise between them. Lan Jing had hoped that Ye Fan would push her just like in the Tianxuan Sect's hall in the Pan Gu secret realm, which had triggered her most sincere emotions. But she didn't understand that true protection happens in an instant and isn't about creating a deliberate scene.

"Alright, let's go back together," Ye Fan nodded.

"Mhm." Lan Jing was very happy and was about to pull Ye Fan to continue circling the large blue crystal when she suddenly remembered that Li Zhaojun and others were also watching. Her face flushed a little, but she went over to hold Li Zhaojun's hand and said, "Sister, look, the sacred object... has returned again."

Li Zhaojun looked at Ye Fan with a hint of resentment and said, "I know."

Among all the womenfolk, only Qing Xu, that playful spirit, would go over to see the large blue crystal with Lan Jing. The others just wanted to return to Hua Hai City or Ning Hai City as soon as possible. This night's rush made them very tired, and they needed to carefully nourish their inner spiritual energy.

...

...

Ye Fan didn't return to Hua Hai City but went straight back to Ning Hai City.

The two cities were only a few dozen kilometers apart originally, making it easy to travel. After arriving at Han Qing'er's private villa, all the women needed to regulate their breath.

Ye Fan said to the girl he brought back from underground, "Miss, you can leave now. No one will use you as a live sacrifice anymore, and I will not harm you."

"Lord, are you saying that you want to abandon me?" The girl said, "Your believers indeed did wrong before, so I ask for your great mercy to forgive your servant."

Han Qing'er came out and heard someone referring to themselves as a 'servant' in front of Ye Fan, which made her feel a sense of vigilance. She knelt in front of Ye Fan, full of deep affection, which, to the girl, seemed like another believer of the Lord.

"Leave here, I don't want to see you," Ye Fan's voice turned cold. "If you stay any longer, I will kill you. Did you hear me?"

The girl, full of fear, but obediently got up and left the courtyard, not going far but kneeling outside, as if hoping to earn Ye Fan's forgiveness through long kneeling.

Ye Fan ignored her and sat cross-legged on a small platform in the living room.

This small platform was specifically set up by Han Qing'er for her own cultivation, but now, with Ye Fan's arrival, it became his 'throne.'

With the help of the Light Refining Pill that Ye Fan provided, Han Qing'er's inner spiritual energy was progressing rapidly and was about to break through the Golden Core Stage. Just like Tantai Wanrong and Lu Xiaoman had experienced before during cultivation, after the internal spiritual energy circulated, there was a certain erotic confusion. Seeing Ye Fan, her 'master,' even if Ye Fan was meditating, she would lean her head over, almost attempting to tempt the high monk with her charm.

She emitted a very alluring fragrance.

Ye Fan felt a bit impatient. With the three protector bells of his copper mirror complete, it was now the critical time for him to calmly cultivate, fuse the Copper Soul Mirror into a whole, and break through the mid Nascent Soul Stage. But Han Qing'er was swaying in front of him, seeking a mate, even with his eyes closed.

"Get away!" Ye Fan opened his eyes and said angrily.

Han Qing'er, whose expression was initially somewhat confused, was so frightened by Ye Fan's reprimand that she was trembling all over, as the regal aura exuding from Ye Fan had become increasingly apparent, intimidating her.

After Ye Fan closed his eyes again, Han Qing'er dared not wander in front of Ye Fan any longer, but instead, obediently returned to the side of the sofa, kneeling on the ground, looking at Ye Fan with an aggrieved expression, like a wronged little pet.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within Ye Fan was surging.

The power brought by the fusion of the Protector Bells of the Copper Soul Mirror was adding a domineering primordial spiritual energy to his body.

Following the descriptions within the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ye Fan guided this energy. Previously, his Nine Yang Divine Skill had stayed at the fourth level, but with this energy's help, the Pure Yang energy from his Nine Yang Divine Skill had shifted from its original crimson color towards gold. If the golden energy successfully formed, his Nine Yang Divine Skill would directly complete the sixth level, and his cultivation would potentially break through the Nascent Soul Stage and reach the Divinity Transformation Stage.

This was a crucial moment, as the spiritual energy within him flowed rapidly. He quickly broke through the fourth and fifth levels of the Nine Yang Divine Skill but met a bottleneck at the sixth level.

The Copper Soul Mirror had just merged and could not yet fully integrate with his body, causing inefficiencies in transforming the primordial energy.

However, Ye Fan had two Nascent Souls, with his original Golden Core being damaged. Even if the Nascent Soul was birthed, it was very weak.

At this time, the Nascent Soul formed by his Copper Soul Mirror was emitting a large amount of primordial energy, which was absorbed by his weakened Nascent Soul, meaning Ye Fan was essentially cultivating two Nascent Souls simultaneously.

"Pfft!"

When Ye Fan's second Nascent Soul reached the mid-Nascent Soul Stage, the existence of the red and blue crystals on Ye Fan supplemented his lack of spiritual energy. After a sudden explosion, the Nascent Soul formed by the Copper Soul Mirror broke through the Divinity Transformation Stage first, while the other primordial Nascent Soul reached the late Nascent Soul Stage.

When Ye Fan opened his eyes, they were full of golden light.

"Congratulations, junior brother," Wu Ding said, not knowing when he had been protecting him, and Li Zhaojun, Min Shang, Lan Jing, and Qing Xu were also present.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within Ye Fan was still slightly chaotic. He didn't speak, let out a cold laugh, walked over, picked up Min Shang horizontally, and walked toward the bedroom...
