Ye Fan could no longer return to the military and political system on Earth, because he could no longer hold the mindset of an Earthling to help a country or an organization do anything.

What he intends to do now is far more noble and grand. He envisions himself earning a unique status in the world of cultivation, rather than helping people accomplish things on Earth.

He has transformed from the ruled to the ruler, even gaining supreme authority. The entire Pan Gu Secret Realm and the Immortal Realm are under his jurisdiction; if these soldiers in front of him try to trouble him, they won’t have the slightest ability to offend him.

"You... What are you saying? You’re a traitor!" the valiant beauty scolded.

"Young lady, when I was your age, I also served in the army, but now I have completely retired. The task of defending the motherland is temporarily left to you! Just consider you inheriting my aspirations, to complete what I once did. Is that alright?" Ye Fan said.

The beauty glared at Ye Fan; if she knew she had no chance to defeat him, she might have rushed at him directly.

Ye Fan glanced at Ming Ye Shang Ren, who coldly said, "If you don’t want to kill them, I can do it for you!"

"I don’t need someone to do it for me, neither will I kill them. What they are doing now is precisely what I used to do, so I understand. It’s nothing more than being constrained by others. Before, I wondered what it would be like to leave the army. I didn’t know much about the outside world then; now I know that after leaving the army, I can still live my own life. Moreover, I’ve stepped into the cultivation world, and it’s impossible to return to the army!" Ye Fan said. "Because I will no longer resign myself to being a mortal."

Finishing his words, Ye Fan controlled all the soldiers present, rendering them temporarily immobile.

He wouldn’t use any teleportation or vanish into thin air to avoid suspicion from those before him, unsure of how they would report to their superiors upon their return. Now, he needed to leave Earth, go elsewhere for cultivation, and attempt to re-enter the Pan Gu Secret Realm, which is his upcoming task.

He didn’t wish to contact anyone within the Pan Gu Secret Realm, knowing not everyone inside aligns with him; in his weakened state of power, there would be more people wanting to kill him and seize his position.

"You can’t escape; we’ll catch you and ensure you’re judged appropriately!" the valiant beauty threatened.

Ye Fan sighed, "Just because I didn’t help them, I’m called a traitor. That’s truly unjust. But it’s okay, because I won’t be helping them anymore. It’s better to do what I want rather than being caged by those old relics, isn’t life in the cultivation world much more enjoyable! Hahaha..."

With loud laughter, Ye Fan left the hotel with Ming Ye Shang Ren. Even if there were more soldiers outside, they seemed suddenly unable to control their bodies, unable to capture Ye Fan; they temporarily lost control of their nerves. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

...

Ye Fan left Earth with Ming Ye Shang Ren, not going far, only staying in the solar system, believing no one could find him now.

He hid all the spiritual energy within his body as much as possible, that way, even if Xi He and Xuan Nu came looking, they wouldn’t find his whereabouts.

On Jupiter, Ye Fan began his cultivation directly. This time he didn’t cultivate with Ming Ye Shang Ren but alone. Though insignificant compared to the vast planet, his internal potent force still influenced the entire solar system to some extent.

"Are you planning to cultivate here, without seeking your subordinates?" Gradually, Ming Ye Shang Ren found Ye Fan easy to talk to, especially after Ye Fan possessed her, seemingly respecting her more and rarely tormenting her again; she dared to converse with him.

Ye Fan opened his eyes and said, "Your thought now is for me to die quickly; do you think I’m unaware? Abandon that notion; I want to quickly mobilize the elemental power within me. Before that, you are only my furnace; I’ll use you when I want, and even kill you if I choose not to use you!"

"Feel free to kill me anytime!" Ming Ye Shang Ren responded in a proud tone.

Ye Fan continued to cultivate with his eyes closed, while Ming Ye Shang Ren wouldn’t cultivate due to her suppressed spiritual energy by Ye Fan, as it was meaningless.

Due to the thin spiritual energy throughout the solar system, Ye Fan’s cultivation focused only on the origin’s spiritual energy within his body. At this time, he utilized a treasure within him, previously useful for storing spiritual energy, which can continuously release spiritual energy in places where it is scarce—the gourd, which Ye Fan called forth at that moment.

While Ye Fan cultivated with the gourd, Ming Ye Shang Ren stared at the artifact curiously and said, "Wasn’t this item from our Xuanyue Palace? When did it fall into your hands?"

Ye Fan continued to ignore Ming Ye Shang Ren, seemingly uninterested in what she said. Regardless of to whom the gourd artifact originally belonged, it was from tens of thousands of years ago in Pan Gu calendar; back then, the Pan Gu Secret Realm’s order was vastly different, with divided factions. At that time, Ye Fan’s belonging, the Li Fire Sect, was the largest in the Pan Gu Secret Realm, with countless disciples, but it later declined with only one lineage passed on.

After several hours of cultivation, Ye Fan felt his internal spiritual energy seemed fuller. He tried using this energy to create a mysterious force beyond Pure Yang spiritual energy, discovering a well-established cyclic system.

"I should have used this artifact for cultivation earlier; before, I cultivated entirely celestial energy in the Immortal Realm, which didn’t align with my internal mysterious force. Only Pure Yang spiritual energy aligned well with that force. It seems I have the chance to develop new mysterious power, which might be helpful, possibly greater than elemental power in practical application!" Ye Fan thought.

At that moment, Ming Ye Shang Ren suddenly looked toward the cosmic space and said, "I sense something coming!"

Ye Fan looked at Ming Ye Shang Ren and said, "Your spiritual energy suppressed by me, yet your spiritual sense remains sensitive?"

Upon carefully probing, Ye Fan found Ming Ye Shang Ren indeed spoke truthfully.
