Sang Yuan quickly gathered a dozen female cultivator disciples. Since she had previously taken a group back to Earth, the people she arranged in Sky City were not many. When Ye Fan needed manpower, she could only temporarily call on female cultivator disciples, while male cultivators were responsible for defending Sky City.

"Sir, everyone is here. Though they are few, they can still work basically. No need to worry!" Sang Yuan said.

Ye Fan observed the dozen female cultivators in front of him, hesitantly saying: "I need to construct a simple city in the second level of the secret realm. Even if it’s not very large, it should have at least hundreds of houses. Do you think these few people will suffice?"

Sang Yuan smiled: "You may not know, Sir, but the previous Hundred Immortals Building was constructed by them. With their abilities, building houses in Sky City is not troublesome. Moreover, they have been to Earth before and are familiar with modern architecture, so they can create modern structures, surely won’t disappoint you!"

Ye Fan said: "Since you say so, let them try. I’ll first send them to the second level of the secret realm. Later, I’ll allocate another group and bring them over; let’s aim to establish a small town for hundreds to live in the second level of the secret realm within a day or two!"

"Yes, sir, I will arrange it later. You need not worry, Sir!" Sang Yuan, knowing she had made mistakes, felt guilty, so she would strive to make amends. She realized Ye Fan now needed a final sanctuary, to send everyone around him into the second level of the secret realm. She wished to use this matter to become the most valuable woman at Ye Fan’s side, rather than a useless decoration.

Ye Fan said: "Xi He, you and Xuan Nu return to Sky City first, and I will come back to find you later. I’ll visit the second level of the secret realm again; we will talk when I return!"

"Can you promise to send these people in and return safely?" Xi He seemed uncertain. In her view, even if Ye Fan can enter and exit the second level of the secret realm once smoothly, he may not be able to do so every time. Ye Fan managed to bring out Xuan Nu, as she is an ancient mighty one with great power. In Xi He’s eyes, these female cultivators brought by Sang Yuan haven’t reached an ascension level yet, they may shatter in void.

"You don’t need to worry about this!" Ye Fan said, "You return first; I will contact you if there are any matters! Let’s separate here for now..."

After speaking, Ye Fan vanished from the open space, along with the dozen female cultivators brought by Sang Yuan, even Sang Yuan disappeared without a trace.

...

...

Ye Fan directly used elemental powers to envelop Sang Yuan and the sixteen female cultivators around her. In almost a few seconds, they entered the void.

Not only were the sixteen female cultivators tense, but Sang Yuan as well. They had never entered the void before and didn’t know what kind of place it was; they even thought the world before them was too incredible. Common logic no longer applied here. Even Xuan Nu couldn’t adapt to the rhythm of the void, let alone a person like Sang Yuan who barely ascended recently, or those cultivators who haven’t even ascended yet.

"Sir, what is this place? Is this the legendary void?" Sang Yuan asked nervously.

Ye Fan said: "No need to say anything, concentrate your spiritual power; once I open this passage, it’s all that matters!"

Since Ye Fan had successfully entered and exited once before, this time the process to the second level secret realm was much smoother. This secret passage could only be opened with his formidable elemental powers; others wouldn’t be able to go through it.

Sang Yuan and the sixteen female cultivator disciples only felt the world momentarily darken before vision returned, revealing a world they had never seen—this was the second level secret realm where Ye Fan had previously brought Xuan Nu. This place was the last human refuge, abandoned by Pan Gu and Fu Xi.

The sixteen female cultivators soared into the sky, witnessing the wind stirring below. It seemed unbelievable to them. These female cultivators were quite old, many having cultivated for one to two hundred years. They were widely knowledgeable but hadn’t heard of another secret realm beneath the Pan Gu realm, posing a huge challenge to their thinking.

"Sir, is this the second level secret realm?" Sang Yuan approached Ye Fan, appearing very respectful, knowing only reliance on Ye Fan could ensure survival. The Pan Gu secret realm was no longer exclusive to cultivators; numerous individuals with far surpassing ascension levels enter the secret realm, yet not all with potent powers are discovered.

Ye Fan said: "Inside, there is no human presence. How to guarantee survival here is unclear; this is not really a place for cultivation..."

"Then, for cultivators entering, it’s challenging to continue cultivating here!" Sang Yuan expressed concern. "There is no strong Spiritual Energy here to rely on!"

"Since this is deemed a refuge, it’s unnecessary to treat it as a cultivation site; refuge time won’t be long. Construct here first, you have three days, and this is the maximum time. Then I will return to lead you away!" Ye Fan said to the sixteen female cultivators.

Sang Yuan appeared hesitant, knowing leaving the sixteen female cultivators here meant cutting all external ties; it was akin to being imprisoned unless Ye Fan or possibly Pan Gu and Fu Xi could rescue them, though the latter seemed unlikely.

The destiny of these female cultivators was fully in Ye Fan’s hands.

"Follow Sir’s instructions, and you’ll be fine. Do you think Sir will abandon you here?" Sang Yuan said angrily seeing the female cultivators anxious.

The dozen female cultivator disciples dared not disobey Ye Fan. Sang Yuan said: "Please, Sir, choose the place to construct the city!"

"Down there!" Ye Fan pointed to a fertile piece of land below, saying, "It’s relatively level here, with abundant plants. The Spiritual Energy around is the strongest in the whole second level secret realm, building a small city here would make moving in and out easier!"

"Yes, Sir!" Sang Yuan replied, glaring at the female cultivators, "Didn’t you hear Sir’s words? Build a city down there; during these three days, you shall not slack off. Build the city as large as you can, concerning materials, figure it out yourselves!"
