Chapter 2235 - 2231: Imprisonment of the Celestial Realm

Han Ying didn’t expect Ye Fan to be so "agreeable." He thought Ye Fan intended to annihilate the immortal realm and completely flatten it.

But now, it seems Ye Fan doesn’t have any intention of annihilation, which truly surprises her.

She doesn’t understand what Ye Fan has in mind. She scrutinizes Ye Fan and asks, "How can I trust you? If you continue to trouble our immortal realm, we won’t have any chance to retaliate!"

"I don’t need you to trust me, it carries no meaning for me," Ye Fan replies, "Do you still have any choice now? Either trust me, stay in the immortal realm and work for me, or be erased by me or other forces. This is your best outcome. If you still want to gain other benefits, I advise you to abandon such thoughts soon!"

Han Ying grits her teeth. Just as Ye Fan said, she has no choice at all now.

Ye Fan’s power has reached a level where he can command everything. Ye Fan might not destroy the immortal realm now, but he could change his mind at any time.

She is not using anything to threaten Ye Fan, but reasoning with him instead. Ye Fan, as an upholder of authority, promised not to kill them or touch the immortal realm—that’s also a form of mercy from him. Ye Fan won’t make further commitments.

"You can go back, take everyone from the immortal realm. If I see any Immortal outside the immortal realm again, I’ll destroy the entire realm instantly! Don’t blame me for not warning you!"

Ye Fan’s tone is cold, appearing unwilling to speak further with Han Ying.

Although reluctant, Han Ying can ultimately only grit her teeth and accept Ye Fan’s terms.

For her, preserving the immortal realm is the best result now, she cannot negotiate other conditions with Ye Fan.

"Farewell, Alliance Hierarch Ye!" Han Ying didn’t change how she referred to Ye Fan. Although she mentioned becoming Ye Fan’s servant earlier, thinking Ye Fan might destroy the immortal realm anytime, her heart is a bit unwilling. After gritting her teeth, she bids farewell and leaves.

After she leaves, the people within the immortal realm don’t know how to leave here and return to the immortal realm since the restrictions within Pan Gu’s Secret Realm are still very strong.

Xi He appears in front of Ye Fan, carrying some confusion, and asks, "Master, you let those from the immortal realm go? These people could pose a substantial threat to you."

"No matter the threat, it shouldn’t be the reason for me to wipe out the race," Ye Fan replies, "They haven’t done anything harmful to me; perhaps Zhang Tian Daoist did something in the past, but as for others, probably not. Why should I destroy the immortal realm?"

Xi He is unsure how to respond. From her perspective, wiping out a cultivator’s branch, or even without a reason, is possible. But on Ye Fan’s side, reasoning prevails in everything, which is both bad and good for her.

If Ye Fan were capricious and killed indiscriminately, she might have died many times over. But there are drawbacks: races she considers unworthy of preservation could be spared, as Ye Fan isn’t one to kill carelessly.

Ye Fan said, "Send those from the immortal realm back, while sealing the realm along the way. If anyone from the immortal realm is spotted coming out, inform me, and I could destroy the realm at any time!"

"Yes!" Xi He replied with a bow.

"You don’t need to overthink it, it carries no meaning for you," Ye Fan states, "Better to use your thoughts to watch over the immortal realm well, and over the coming time, ensure Earth remains trouble-free. Your cultivation level now might have reached the point of succeeding Pan Gu and Fu Xi; you’ve grown stronger without discussing it with me."

Xi He had long expected Ye Fan to discover everything. She quickly says, "My cultivation level has improved because of you, Master."

"Whether it is or not, I don’t want to argue over it. You didn’t threaten me, so I won’t do anything to you, but I still have a warning for you ancient cultivators who stay by my side: if you harbor ill thoughts, you will meet the same fate as the people from the immortal realm—consider it my warning!"

With that, Ye Fan disappears from the spot, as if no longer concerned with matters of the immortal realm, leaving everything to Xi He to handle.

After a moment of hesitation, Xi He leaves, setting out to act as per Ye Fan’s instructions—to send the people from the immortal realm back and confine them within it anew.

...

...

When Xi He appears before Sang Yuan and Magic Child, Sang Yuan steps forward with a question, "Xi He Elder, I wonder what orders the Master has."

"Even if there are orders, they have nothing to do with you!" Xi He’s tone is cold, "Just take care of your own matters; the Master hasn’t given you more instructions!"

Sang Yuan’s complexion slightly tinged with awkwardness, yet she doesn’t dare to argue with Xi He. She knows Xi He’s cultivation level and status well. If her own cultivation is akin to a grain of sand, then Xi He’s is almost like an ocean, totally disproportionate.

Before immense strength, Sang Yuan has no choice but to admit she’s inferior to Xi He. However, she doesn’t intend to compete against Xi He, as their aspirations differ. Her aim is to maintain her status within Pan Gu’s Secret Realm, but Xi He would never focus his attention solely on the small Secret Realm.

"Where did Ye Fan go? I want to go with him!" Magic Child stubbornly insists.

Xi He and Sang Yuan both assess Magic Child, and eventually Sang Yuan shakes her head, saying, "You don’t have that qualification. Do you think anyone can just go out with the Master?"

"But I..." Magic Child can’t help but recall the past. She feels she deserves credit for her efforts.

Xi He no longer pays attention to the two before him; he heads directly to where the people from the immortal realm are. Quickly, he confines all the people from the immortal realm, relocates them to the realm instantaneously. Once he’s confined them anew, all the people from the immortal realm are angered, but they soon find their sight restored to see they’re back in the immortal realm.

"Xi He, what do you mean by this?" Han Ying, still full of anger, feels like a plaything being tossed aside.

Xi He says, "You don’t have the right to question me. I sent you back, not by my intention. If you wish to live still, recognize your identity and status. If Master changes his mind, you all will die! From now on, the immortal realm will be sealed, and each of you will decide the life-and-death fate of an entire tribe!"
