Chapter 1494: Chapter 1492: Reversal, Failed?

Of course!

Lin Fan must immediately repair his body!

Lan Zhengqing had already fled through the back door with the Divine Phoenix. If he doesn’t start recovering soon, Lan Zhengqing might completely vanish!

The Divine Phoenix is still in his hands, and who knows what Lan Zhengqing might do to her.

Lin Fan certainly wouldn’t allow his woman to be bullied!

But...

He was left with nothing but a skeleton and an indestructible Divine Sense.

To repair it is extremely difficult!

Furthermore.

With his current cultivation realm—a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor—it’s practically impossible to repair!

As hard as reaching the heavens!

Lin Fan’s Divine Sense wandered in his mind, and after Emperor Jade’s anxious roar, it calmed down, trying to restore the tattered flesh.

However, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, a face full of shock and disbelief.

"Emperor Jade!"

Lin Fan’s voice trembled slightly, his expression panicked.

"What happened?"

Emperor Jade heard something amiss in Lin Fan’s voice and quickly asked.

Silence.

A deadly silence.

As if sound had never existed in this world.

Everything seemed to be swallowed by a Black Hole.

Emperor Jade watched Lin Fan’s increasingly twisted, terrified, and flustered expression!

Her emotions also became restless.

This isn’t right!

I’m clearly an Artifact Spirit, how can I be so nervous?!

But Lin Fan’s expression was just too... eerie.

Even making the Artifact Spirit feel uneasy.

"Lin Fan, what’s going on?"

After a long while.

Lin Fan finally spoke, his face ashen.

"Emperor Jade, am I not dead?"

"Yes, you’re not dead. If you were dead, your Divine Sense would have vanished. Since your Divine Sense still exists, it means you’re not dead and can come back to life. Or in other words, you’re not completely dead, and there is still a chance for survival."

"If I’m not dead, does it mean my reverse path was successful?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Uh..." Emperor Jade paused, deep in thought. "You could say that, the reverse path is incredibly difficult, surviving is a miracle. Think about it, surviving against someone two Great Realms higher than your cultivation is something not everyone can endure. Surviving itself is already fortunate because very few can survive the reverse path."

Emperor Jade explained at length but still didn’t clarify if Lin Fan’s reverse path was successful.

Lin Fan was clearly a bit impatient, his face immediately darkened.

"Emperor Jade, tell me the truth! Did I succeed in the reverse path or not?! Speak up!"

A roar like thunder!

Thunderous fury!

Lin Fan’s entire expression became twisted, manic, violent, and ferocious!

As if he was about to tear Emperor Jade to pieces.

Emperor Jade furrowed her brows, sighed, and looked serious.

"Let’s put it this way, successful, yet not successful."

"Wha... What do you mean?" Lin Fan’s voice trembled slightly.

"To survive is already a success, but whether you can break through the realm’s shackles is hard to say... Lin Fan, don’t be anxious, let me explain!" Emperor Jade hurried to calm Lin Fan, who was as furious as a raging lion.

Lin Fan panted heavily, face flushed, veins popping, looking fierce and terrifying.

Emperor Jade quickly continued, "Lin Fan, very few choose the dangerous path of reverse. It’s extremely rare! Only one out of a hundred million would appear!"

Lin Fan growled angrily, "Stop spouting useless crap! What’s really going on!"

"Don’t rush... I understand how you feel right now..."

"Emperor Jade, if you dare to say one more word of nonsense, I swear I’ll smash you to pieces! If anything happens to my woman, I won’t spare you."

Lin Fan had always been a calm person.

No matter the difficulty, he’d face it with calm and composure. Except for a brief period of collapse on the Sumeru Continent, he’d never acted irrationally at any other time.

But now.

Lin Fan had completely lost his reason, becoming an unreasonable person.

Emperor Jade naturally understood his state of mind, after all, the Divine Phoenix was taken away by Lan Zhengqing, whereabouts unknown, and Lin Fan, after enduring such a reverse path ordeal, could only watch, unable to do anything.

The feeling was truly terrible!

Like seeing a house full of beloved figurines and models destroyed by a bratty kid while you stand by helplessly, unable to do anything.

Despair, helplessness, pain.

Moreover, Lan Zhengqing took the Divine Phoenix right under Lin Fan’s nose!

If Lin Fan hadn’t chosen the reverse path, maybe he could have escaped with the Divine Phoenix.

But he chose this no-return path.

Lin Fan felt regretful and remorseful.

He was no longer calm, and someone unable to calm down naturally couldn’t make sound judgments.

So.

Emperor Jade was doing her best to try and bring Lin Fan back to calmness, to at least recover a little bit of reason.

"Lin Fan, right now you’re acting like a ridiculous clown, nothing like the Lin Fan I know. This isn’t the Lin Fan I recognize."

"Emperor Jade," Lin Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes bursting with fierce, crimson light.

Emperor Jade shook her head helplessly, saying blandly, "Too few have experienced the reverse path, and even fewer have survived! So, the world doesn’t know if one’s cultivation realm will leap up after the reverse path. As far as I know, only two people have survived the reverse path, one became an ordinary person without any change, and the other died a year later, without anyone knowing why."

Emperor Jade stared at Lin Fan, her pupils contracting.

"You’re the third."

Lin Fan’s eyes still burned with fierce flames, not calming down due to Emperor Jade’s explanation but growing even more intense!

"So what."

"So I don’t know what will happen after the reverse path, because only two survived, which isn’t enough for a reference. I can’t give you a precise answer. I can only tell you that surviving the reverse path is already a success, but whether it will lead to a transcendent breakthrough... it’s unknown..."

"Maybe you’re the monstrosity that breaks the world! Or maybe you’re just an ordinary person like everyone else."

"Ultimately, I can’t say for sure, what happens next, you’ll have to decide for yourself."

"But I must advise you to calm down. If you don’t stay calm, you’ll make wrong judgments."

"That’s it."

After speaking, Emperor Jade severed the Divine Sense connection and disappeared into the silent darkness.

In the pitch dark.

Only Lin Fan’s dazed, stupefied, shocked Divine Sense was left standing still, staring wide-eyed at the place where Emperor Jade vanished.

He looked at his illusory hand, glanced at his barely-there body.

Only then did he realize he was merely a Divine Sense, without even a physical form.

Reason told him that what Emperor Jade was saying was based on factual judgment. There had indeed never been a case of successfully breaking through after the reverse path, and this notion remained a myth, without substantive evidence.

He really wanted to believe Emperor Jade.

But his emotions had taken complete control of him, making it impossible to calm down and seriously think about the issue, only allowing anger to spread endlessly until all emotions were consumed by rage.

He was on the verge of losing control, with one foot already stepping into the realm of madness.

Lin Fan shook violently, his heart like ashes.

Did the reverse path fail?
