Yun Fan suddenly felt something was wrong and wanted to slip away, but he could only turn around helplessly.
"Greetings, Madam!"
Yun Fan said with an awkward smile.
"Hmph!"
The Holy Mistress of Yaochi snorted, "Kid, how do you plan to settle the score for defiling my daughter's purity?"
"That... that also had its reasons!"
Yun Fan said awkwardly. He was helpless at the time, and it wasn't his initiative. Now that they were settling accounts after the fact, and he couldn't escape, he was at a loss.
"Explain it clearly, or I'll break both your legs!"
The Old Celestial Master had calculated everything, but he never expected that the disciple he personally taught would end up harming his own daughter.
Yun Fan knew that the Holy Mistress of Yaochi absolutely knew the reason, but since she didn't say it, he had to explain the situation himself.
So, he recounted the events of that day.
The matter of Yaochi's actions in her sleep afterward was unnecessary to mention, as he feared it would incite her anger.
After hearing this, the Old Celestial Master said, "This is not entirely your fault!"
"Can you bear to watch our daughter be..."
The Holy Mistress of Yaochi found it difficult to continue. In her opinion, the Old Celestial Master was biased. To protect his disciple, he didn't even care about his daughter.
In fact, the Old Celestial Master understood the bigger picture and knew that it wasn't entirely Yun Fan's fault; it was half and half.
Therefore, he said to Yun Fan, "From now on, you cannot neglect her, understand?"
"Completely understand!"
Yun Fan answered without any hesitation, because he knew that if he showed any hesitation now, his master would break his legs.
At this moment, the Old Celestial Master comforted the Holy Mistress of Yaochi, "I still trust my disciple's character, let's give him a chance!"
The Holy Mistress of Yaochi sneered. Your disciple's character is even worse than yours.
At this moment, to change the subject, the Old Celestial Master asked the Holy Mistress of Yaochi, "By the way, Yao'er, why did you think of coming to find me?"
The Old Celestial Master was unaware of the situation. After all, they had agreed never to see each other again. Now, that arrangement had been broken.
The Holy Mistress of Yaochi said with concern, "Your daughter is ill!"
"What?"
The Old Celestial Master's expression changed instantly. For someone at Yaochi's cultivation level to fall ill meant that the situation was very serious.
"I'll go with you to see her!"
The Old Celestial Master quickly proposed, "Let's set off now!"
"Mhm!"
The Holy Mistress of Yaochi nodded and left with the Old Celestial Master. As they were leaving, Yun Fan also wanted to go.
After all, he was also worried.
However, the Old Celestial Master said, "Disciple, you don't need to go. Your current goal is to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Yes, Master!"
Yun Fan decided to visit Yaochi after he broke through. In his opinion, even if Yaochi had any major problems, with his master around, she would surely overcome them.
...
Yun Fan arrived at the depths of the Blood Prison Forbidden Land, where he saw the Eye of the Blood Prison. He initially thought it was an actual eye.
To his surprise, it only resembled an eye; it was actually a pool of spring water that emitted a blood-red glow.
Looking down, it truly resembled a dripping eye. Yun Fan felt a powerful soul force.
And the malevolent thoughts within him resurfaced.
"Step forward and refine our prey!"
Driven by the malevolent thoughts, Yun Fan immediately stepped forward. Of course, it wasn't entirely due to being bewitched by the malevolent thoughts, but because he himself needed to refine this Eye of the Blood Prison.
However, as soon as he reached the spring, Yun Fan felt a sense of dizziness, and countless voices echoed in his mind.
At this moment, in a daze, he saw a woman with her back to him.
Yun Fan cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
"I am your second senior sister!"
The other party replied.
"Second senior sister?"
Yun Fan instantly let down his guard, as he believed his senior sisters would not harm him.
"Second senior sister, why are you here?"
However, the other party didn't answer him. Instead, she said, "Junior brother, you have accepted my token of love, so from today onwards, you are my man!"
"Second senior sister, let's not talk about that for now. How have you been all these years?"
"So, you don't agree with me?"
The other party's tone instantly turned icy, so cold it pierced to the bone.
"Second senior sister, I didn't mean that, I..."
Before Yun Fan could finish explaining, the other party coldly said again, "I once said that anyone who accepts my token of love but refuses me will die!"
"You are the first, and you will be the last!"
At this moment, Yun Fan felt that this second senior sister was somewhat extreme. At that very instant, the other party turned around.
In that fleeting moment, Yun Fan almost wet himself in fear.
This was no second senior sister at all! It was clearly a one-eyed monster, its entire head occupied by a scarlet eye.
"Break!"
Yun Fan shouted, and a surge of power struck out. However, the other party was unharmed and walked towards him step by step.
"Not good!"
Yun Fan sensed danger. Fortunately, at this moment, the demonic power within him emanated and instantly enveloped the monster.
Then, under the encirclement of the demonic energy, the one-eyed monster shattered.
Yun Fan let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he came to his senses. Looking around, it was very quiet.
There were no monsters or second senior sister. The spring was calm. Yun Fan knew he had fallen into a trap.
Everything he saw and felt was the work of the Eye of the Blood Prison. But he had to admit, at this moment, he had developed a psychological shadow regarding his unseen second senior sister.
He felt it was unfair to this second senior sister, but there was nothing he could do, as his mind had been filled with thoughts of his second senior sister just then.
"Damn it, you dare to scheme against me! Today, I will refine you!"
Yun Fan was furious and was about to refine this blood spring.
However, just as he was about to act, his mind began to blur again.
"No, if this continues, I'm done for!"
Yun Fan quickly concentrated his mind, refusing to let the Eye of the Blood Prison succeed. However, all his efforts were in vain.
Before the Eye of the Blood Prison, his soul was extremely insignificant.
At this moment, Shi Tianxing appeared before him.
"Ant, are you afraid of seeing me?"
Shi Tianxing said playfully, "In front of me, you will always be a crawler. If your second senior sister hadn't saved you, you would have died long ago! But even with your second senior sister protecting you, you will still die, and you will be trampled under my feet even in death!"
"Shut up!"
Yun Fan was enraged. Even though he knew it was fake, he couldn't control his temper.
"What? Do you, an ant, want to fight me? I advise you to give up that idea! Otherwise, you will only lose more miserably!"
"I don't believe it!"
Yun Fan gathered all his strength and charged forward, striking Shi Tianxing. However, he missed.
"An ant is just an ant. You can't even touch my robe!"
Shi Tianxing said disdainfully again.
Yun Fan was completely defeated and was about to enter a demonic state. However, at that moment, he suddenly thought of something.
He stopped attacking.
"Have you given up?"
He asked Yun Fan.
Yun Fan replied, "Yes, I have given up!"
Then, regardless of Shi Tianxing's provocations from behind, he focused all his attention on refining the Eye of the Blood Prison.
"Stop, you stop!"
Shi Tianxing was furious.
In fact, Yun Fan had seen through his little tricks. Both the second senior sister before and Shi Tianxing now were fake.
They were illusions created by the Eye of the Blood Prison based on his memories, solely to prevent him from refining the Eye of the Blood Prison.
An ordinary person would not only fall for it but would even fight until they were exhausted.
Yun Fan found the loophole. As long as he ignored them, it would be fine. As long as he refined the Eye of the Blood Prison, all illusions would disappear.
"Damn it, damn it!"
The Shi Tianxing illusioned by the Eye of the Blood Prison was furious. It did not expect Yun Fan to find the loophole so quickly.
Unfortunately, it was powerless to stop Yun Fan from refining it.
From then on, no matter how many benefits it promised Yun Fan, he ignored it and focused solely on refining.
In Yun Fan's opinion, whether these promises were true or false, the benefits he would gain after refining would be far greater than anything the Eye of the Blood Prison could offer.
The initial refinement was not smooth, but with the help of demonic energy, the Eye of the Blood Prison's resistance was rendered useless.
In less than two days, Yun Fan successfully refined the Eye of the Blood Prison.
After refining the Eye of the Blood Prison, Yun Fan did not leave immediately, as his realm had not yet broken through.
However, with the influx of so much soul force, his realm had begun to loosen, and it seemed that the Land Immortal realm was not far off.
At this moment, Yun Fan began to consolidate his realm. For three full days, he remained in seclusion here.
After three days, Yun Fan opened his eyes and could sense the slightest disturbance within dozens of miles.
"So, this is the Nascent Soul stage? It's truly magical!"
Even Yun Fan couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Nascent Soul stage. He now understood why his master could sense things miles away.
From this, it was not difficult to infer that his master's realm was even higher than his.
He just didn't know how much higher.
At this moment, he looked at the blood-red spring again. It had become clear and transparent, completely devoid of soul force.
Yun Fan was very curious about what kind of being created the Eye of the Blood Prison and ultimately helped him.
Although he was only in the early Nascent Soul stage now, Yun Fan was very satisfied with this outcome. Without these opportunities, he didn't know when he would have reached this realm.
At this moment, he was a Land Immortal. He hadn't expected that he would be the first to break through to this realm.
In his opinion, Yaochi had the highest potential. However, given Yaochi's talent, breaking through to this realm should not be difficult.
After all, Yaochi had a strong background, with the Holy Mistress of Yaochi on one side and the Old Celestial Master on the other.
He wondered how Yaochi was doing now.
Yun Fan did not delay at all. After leaving the Blood Prison Forbidden Land, he went to the Yaochi Holy Land.
"Brat, you're finally here!"
The Old Celestial Master's tone was filled with weariness. Clearly, he was also unable to help with Yaochi's illness.
Yun Fan quickly asked, "Master, what happened to her?"
"Hmph!"
The Old Celestial Master snorted, giving him no good look.
"This is all your doing. Her illness is not physical, but psychological!"
Yun Fan's head began to ache upon hearing this. It seemed the matter was not so simple. So, he quickly said, "I'll go see her!"
Then, he went to the back mountain where Yaochi resided and saw the Holy Mistress of Yaochi coming out of the back mountain.
As soon as she saw Yun Fan, she was even less likely to give him a good look.
"Kid, if you don't cure my daughter, I won't let you off! Even with your master here, I'll deal with you!"
She threatened Yun Fan.
Yun Fan's head began to ache again. It seemed the situation was becoming increasingly grim.
So, he quickly said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to help her!"
"Hurry up! Don't keep her waiting!"
"Alright!"
Yun Fan went to the back mountain and saw Yaochi sitting under a plum blossom tree, her eyes vacant and dull.
At this moment, to ease the atmosphere, Yun Fan immediately smiled and said, "Long time no see, have you missed me?"
However, Yaochi did not respond to him, which made Yun Fan feel a loss of face. But at this moment, he did not get angry and sat down beside Yaochi.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Fan asked tentatively.
Yaochi said, "I have entered the Path of Forgetfulness!"
"What kind of path is that?"
Yun Fan knew it must be a cultivation path, but he didn't know how terrifying the Path of Forgetfulness was.
"I'm very scared, scared that one day I'll forget everything around me and become a heartless person!"
Yaochi revealed her inner thoughts.
Yun Fan's brow furrowed immediately upon hearing this. It seemed the situation was not optimistic.
So, he asked, "Why did you choose this path?"
He seemed to have heard that taking this path could save a lot of detours compared to others, but this path also had its drawbacks, which was Yaochi's current state.
Of course, this was only the beginning of the drawbacks. As time went on, she would become increasingly emotionless.
In the later stages, even if her loved ones were killed before her eyes, she would remain unmoved. This was the ruthless nature of the Path of Forgetfulness.
Yaochi said, "Isn't it because of you!"
"Because of me?"
Yun Fan was stunned. He felt he was being dragged into trouble for no reason, suffering undeserved calamity.
Yaochi said, "Because of your heartlessness, I accidentally entered the Path of Forgetfulness!"
"How was I heartless?"
Yun Fan felt rather miserable at this moment. He only felt like an innocent person, but at this moment, no matter what, he had to go along with Yaochi's intentions.
Yaochi said, "That time I went to help you, why were you so cold to me?"
"Uh..."
Yun Fan was speechless. He finally understood where the problem lay.
So, he said, "Didn't you say we were just taking what we needed from each other? I'm not good with words, so I took it literally at the time. I never expected it would lead to such serious consequences!"
"Hmph!"
Yaochi snorted, "You really don't understand women. You men only care about your own pleasure. After you get what you want, you can't wait to shirk responsibility!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan felt very wronged. So, he said to Yaochi, "From that day on, I have always kept it in mind. You are wronging me. I'm just not good at expressing myself!" Su Dan Novel Network.
He felt very speechless inwardly. It seemed that Yaochi was just putting up a tough front while having a soft heart. She had fallen in love with him back then but had just found many excuses to dismiss it.
At this moment, Yaochi said, "So, you love me too?"
"Mhm!"
Yun Fan nodded quickly. Although their conversation was very childish and lacked any sophistication, the more it was like this, the more it revealed their true feelings.
At this moment, Yaochi said, "But I have already entered the Path of Forgetfulness, and I don't want to take this path. Do you have a way to break it?"
In fact, Yaochi had been searching for a solution for the past few days, but she had not received Yun Fan's promise, so she could not break free.
Yun Fan pondered for a moment and said, "This is also simple. Then let's use love to break this terrifying Path of Forgetfulness!"
This was Yun Fan's plan. Although it had not been implemented yet, he believed it would surely succeed.
Upon hearing this, Yaochi asked doubtfully, "Is it feasible?"
"I think it's feasible!"
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Come on! Let our love begin with practical actions!"
"This time, I want to take the lead!"
"Shameless!"
...
After spending several days with Yaochi, Yun Fan discovered that Yaochi had begun to detach from the Path of Forgetfulness, but she had not completely broken free.
After all, this path was terrifying, perhaps comparable to the Demonic Path.
To completely help Yaochi emerge from the Path of Forgetfulness, Yun Fan decided to take her to the mortal world for a period.
Therefore, at this time, he abandoned his original plan. According to his plan, he was supposed to go to the Great Void Holy Land first to understand the secrets of the Demonic Path.
The Great Void Holy Land was secretly researching the Demonic Path, and their ancestors had some unknown grievances with that powerful demonic cultivator.
However, Yaochi's situation was more urgent, so he temporarily put aside this plan.
"Disciple, you must treat my daughter well, otherwise, I will have to act against my own kin!"
The Old Celestial Master warned Yun Fan.
"Master, don't worry, I will treat her well!"
"Then I can rest assured!"
The Old Celestial Master said to Yun Fan, "You go to the mortal world first, and while you help my daughter dissolve her forgetfulness, you can also consolidate your current cultivation! Now that you have broken through to the Land Immortal realm, the next move of the Feng Shan Land will likely be a killing blow!"
"Alright!"
Yun Fan nodded. He naturally knew the consequences, so at this moment, he was prepared to face it in his peak state. Even if the Feng Shan Land had three heads and six arms, he would not be afraid.
"Go! You'll be back before you know it!"
"Mm!"
Then, Yun Fan, with Yaochi, left the small world and headed to the mortal world. What he didn't know was that the Feng Shan Land had already begun to act, reaching out to the mortal world.
