Invincible Young Master in the City

Even if Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting didn't want to sleep, Ye Fan could use Spiritual Energy to calm their Spiritual Sense, allowing them to fall asleep quickly.

Watching the two little girls fall asleep with a smile, Ye Fan felt a sense of warmth that couldn't be put into words. He tidied his clothes and left the villa.

"Mr. Ye." Sun Ning, being a strong woman, had less than five hours of rest every day, and she took breaks whenever she could, so she could keep up with the pace of cultivators like Ye Fan.

"Back to the hotel."

Ye Fan got in the car, pondering issues while Sun Ning drove.

Soon, the car stopped at the hotel entrance. Ye Fan went upstairs and saw Li Zhaojun and the others; they had already finished adjusting their breath.

"Let's head to the Arctic and find the legendary red lightning," Ye Fan said.

Li Zhaojun asked, "Ye Fan, do you know what that red lightning is?"

"It might be a Divine Artifact or something that can save the Pan Gu secret realm. Otherwise, Senior Brother Qing Wu wouldn't have come from the secret realm back to Earth to search for it," Ye Fan said. "If we find it, returning it to the Pan Gu secret realm could also fulfill my responsibility to the sect. After that, I just want to stay peacefully on Earth."

Li Zhaojun asked, "Ye Fan, are you planning to live in seclusion?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "To live in seclusion in the city, why not?"

Li Zhaojun smiled slightly, but did not comment. Lan Jing, Min Shang, and Qing Xu were also ready. Suddenly, Qing Xu asked, "Senior Brother, won't Senior Sister Wu Ding come back?"

"It's difficult," Ye Fan thought of the sealed connections between Earth and the Pan Gu secret realm. With Wu Ding's cultivation level, she couldn't open it. Only a cultivator like Lan Jing could. "Whether we find it or not, it's time to send you back to the Tianxuan Sect. You've played enough on Earth."

Upon hearing that Ye Fan wanted to send her back, Qing Xu let out a reluctant "oh." She wanted to stay on Earth, enjoying things like racing cars and the colorful world, whereas in the Tianxuan Sect, all she could do was cultivate.

After all, she was just a child, with no strong concept of becoming immortal, preferring to be a carefree child as long as she had companions like Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun.

...

...

They set off at night, taking over two hours to reach the Arctic.

After crossing the Arctic Circle, the sky gradually brightened. Qing Xu curiously said, "Senior Brother, isn't it supposed to be two more hours until dawn? Why can I see the sun?"

"Earth is different from the secret realm. The realm is a flat heaven, but Earth is a sphere, and there are polar days and nights at the South and North Poles," Ye Fan said.

With Qing Xu's small mind, she couldn't understand what Ye Fan was saying. After all, she had never attended school, only learning to read and write with the sect members.

On the Arctic ground, although it was a polar day, it felt like sunset twilight, and the light wasn't particularly bright. Ye Fan sensed the environment, with many Arctic animals, but couldn't detect any Spiritual Energy bodies or powerful artifacts.

"The place Senior Sister Wu Ding and Li Bei mentioned should be here. Up ahead is the area where Senior Brother Qing Wu broke the ice shell due to Demonization. I can even feel the lingering Demonic Qi of Senior Brother Qing Wu, but there's nothing unusual around here," Ye Fan thought, puzzled.

Li Zhaojun asked, "Could Senior Wu Qing have been ambushed?"

Ye Fan considered it and thought it was a possibility.

Although Spiritual Energy on Earth is thin, it's possible that cultivators beyond the Transcendence Tribulation Stage might have come out from the secret realm to hide on Earth, preparing for their final ascension.

With Elder Wu's cultivation, encountering someone from the Transcendence Tribulation Stage is very dangerous. Someone at that stage could even evade Li Bei.

"Look ahead!"

Ye Fan said and proceeded forward by flying on his sword. Soon, he arrived at the place where Elder Wu shattered the crust and ice shell. Below was an abyss at least several hundred meters deep. Fortunately, it was in this frigid Arctic region, where seawater had directly frozen into ice. Otherwise, the resulting tsunami could have devastated the Pacific coast.

Ye Fan said, "Let's cultivate here and see if we can attract the mysterious person or object!"

They landed in the icy snowfield, where the snow wouldn't melt for hundreds of years, and the permafrost lay beneath. They sat cross-legged to start cultivating, but Lan Jing stood still, gazing into the sky as if sensing something.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!" Little Red Crystal and Little Blue Crystal began to scream randomly. Even the black crystal in Ye Fan's storage bracelet seemed to feel a dangerous presence around.

Yet, Ye Fan couldn't detect any energy bodies or Spiritual Energy.

Ye Fan thought, could it be that my cultivation level is too low?

Even mid-Integration Stage Elder Wu was injured by this mysterious person or artifact. Even if he found it, he lacked the ability to defeat it and bring it back.

Lan Jing suddenly said, "I feel something is flying toward us!"

Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun immediately became alert, but Ye Fan couldn't detect anything with his Spiritual Sense or even his sixth sense. However, he could see a red bird flying toward them with his naked eye. The bird seemed like a Spiritual Body, visible only by ordinary sight, undetectable by any other technique.

"What is that?" Li Zhaojun also spotted the red bird and pointed at it, asking.

"Strange, its power is incredibly strong, yet it can hide its presence," Ye Fan felt a touch of shock.

The red bird flew closer, stopping at a distance of two to three hundred meters. It let out a "screech," piercing through the air. Despite Ye Fan's cultivation, his eardrums felt a sudden pain.

The permafrost began to tremble. Merely a cry from the bird incited a small earthquake and avalanche.

Li Zhaojun said, "It seems hostile to us, as if trying to make us leave!"

"No," Ye Fan shook his head. "If it wanted us gone, it could have used force. Even Senior Brother Qing Wu isn't its match. It wouldn't need to fear us."

"Screech!" Another cry rang out, louder and more destructive.

Although everyone was very cautious, Lan Jing seemed unafraid. She contemplated and said to Ye Fan, "I... for some reason, feel a closeness to it, as if it's my mother..."

"Impossible," Ye Fan immediately denied Lan Jing's notion.

Earlier, he was unsure, but now he was certain that Lan Jing's mother was back in the sea. Since Lan Jing's mother had become a Spiritual Body, she couldn't survive long without the large Blue Crystal.

Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Even if it is related, it might just have some connection to your mother."

While speaking, the red bird on the opposite side suddenly swooped toward Ye Fan. The surrounding air froze, temperatures plummeting to over a hundred degrees below zero. Even Qing Xu, who had Spiritual Energy shielding, felt the chill, being just at the Golden Core Stage.

"Senior Brother, it's so cold," Qing Xu directly hid behind Ye Fan, letting him shield her from the biting wind.
