Chapter 2253: Pan Gu's Secret

After Leizu absorbed part of the crystal’s power, she returned to Earth ahead of time, as if she had some urgent matter to attend to.

She said she was going to look for her daughter, but in truth, she had no clue whatsoever about her daughter’s whereabouts. She returned to Earth more because of something she was secretly planning.

This time, Leizu did not go to the Arctic but rather to the Antarctic ice sheet. When she reached a hidden ice cave, a man was imprisoned within the ice, and Leizu reached out to rescue him.

“Is it you?” The man was Li Yunhuo, who had previously been held captive by Ye Fan. It seemed that no one knew Li Yunhuo’s whereabouts except Ye Fan.

Leizu sneered, “Why can’t it be me? Is it strange for me to rescue you?”

“I’m not surprised that you came to rescue me because I know you have some ulterior motive regarding me. I’m just wondering how you acquired such powerful cultivation to break Ye Fan’s captivity of me!” Li Yunhuo said, while organizing his cultivation. “Did Ye Fan send you?”

“Ye Fan is missing now; no one knows where he’s gone. As far as I know, he has likely gone to contend with forces beyond the universe, higher-level cultivators… the so-called top-tier creators!” Leizu said.

Li Yunhuo originally didn’t take Leizu seriously, but upon hearing this, he scrutinized her and said, “Ye Fan went to meet the Pantheon people?”

“Pantheon? What kind of name is that? Explain it clearly!” Leizu said.

Li Yunhuo said, “There’s no need for me to explain to you, and you’re not qualified to know, because with your cultivation, it’s impossible to have any communication with the cultivators of the Pantheon… Anyway, I can tell you something simple, like… these Pantheon people are the backstage manipulators of the universe; their power far surpasses the forces within the universe. If Ye Fan went to find these cultivators, it would be a dead end.”

It seemed Leizu was very interested in the matters of the Pantheon. She said, “And what’s your relationship with the Pantheon people?”

After fully arranging the aura within his body, Li Yunhuo shook his head and said, “I can’t explain many things to you. Or rather, I simply don’t need to explain… Leizu, Leizu, you should understand one thing: there really is no shared interest between us. I won’t do anything to you now; I’m grateful that you rescued me and even told me about Ye Fan’s disappearance…”

“What do you want to do?” Leizu almost spoke through clenched teeth.

“I have nothing I want to do, or perhaps these matters have nothing to do with you.” Li Yunhuo said, “As for other things, I have nothing more to say. Farewell!”

After saying this, Li Yunhuo was about to leave but was stopped by Leizu.

“Stop right there!” Leizu said angrily, “I rescued you, and you just leave without even answering a simple question? Fine, there’s something you must discuss: it’s regarding my daughter. Apart from Ye Fan, it seems you know the clues about my daughter…”

Li Yunhuo initially hurried to leave, but upon hearing Leizu’s words, he appeared less anxious.

“Haha, you want to find your daughter, so that’s why you came to rescue me?” Li Yunhuo laughed, “Could it be that I’m your daughter’s father?”

Leizu cursed, “You’re thick-skinned. What relation do we have? Don’t forget, I was Xi He’s woman, and now I’m Ye Fan’s. You don’t want to make enemies of Xi He and Ye Fan, do you? They won’t let you off easily.”

“If you insist on talking about those two, then I have nothing to say. Regarding your daughter… I only know she was abducted by Ye Fan. As for where he hid her, why don’t you ask Ye Fan? Ye Fan is so affectionate and righteous; you’ve become his woman, would he hide anything from you?” Li Yunhuo spoke with some anger as if there were some unwilling elements involved.

“I just want to know my daughter’s whereabouts. Tell me what you know; the rest you needn’t bother with!” Leizu said.

Li Yunhuo scrutinized Leizu, seemingly with no intention of answering immediately. Finally, he asked first, “First tell me how you acquired your current cultivation… I feel traces of Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s power in your cultivation. Could it be you gained Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s strength?”

“Let’s just say yes, during your captivity, Pan Gu already passed away… As for Fu Xi and Nuwa’s essence, they were both imprisoned by Ye Fan; isn’t it surprising?” Leizu said.

Li Yunhuo sneered, “What’s so surprising about that? I expected Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s era to eventually end. You just don’t understand Pan Gu deeply enough; he couldn’t be wiped out so quickly. As for your power, it’s likely only a trivial part of Pan Gu’s, relating to spiritual energy!”

“What?” Leizu seemed incredulous.

“Actually, you should know Pan Gu’s spiritual energy power surpassed half of all spiritual energy in the universe. That’s why he could dominate the ancient realm of cultivation and even the entire universe long-term. But as his cultivation grew, his interests extended beyond spiritual energy and the forces existing within the universe. His internal spiritual energy became a burden, which he must abandon to achieve rebirth…” Li Yunhuo analyzed.

Leizu shook her head, “Stop trying to scare me; I don’t believe Pan Gu is still alive.”

“So you’re admitting your power comes from Pan Gu?” Li Yunhuo sneered, “You want to hide it, then keep on hiding. I won’t ask further; I just want to remind you that possessing this power is not beneficial for you. Ye Fan will target you, Pan Gu will target you, even the ancient cultivators will fight over power with you! You want to know your daughter’s whereabouts, but I can’t help you with that; I don’t know where your daughter is now, so there’s no need to follow me. I’m going to do something very meaningful!” Li Yunhuo said.

“What do you intend to do?” Leizu said furiously.

“Of course, it’s to seek revenge on Ye Fan. I can’t let Ye Fan continue to roam free; originally, he was just a puppet I created. I’m his master and his owner; he should become my servant!” Li Yunhuo said with anger.

Leizu cursed, “You’re simply crazy, completely crazy. You want to kill Ye Fan? You’ll only seek your own death! Now you must help me find my daughter, or I won’t let you leave unless you’re planning to step over my corpse, then let’s have a showdown!”
