Chapter 1156 - 1256: Everyone's Back

"Thank you!"

Yu Shan, after regaining his senses, looked at Ye Tianfan gratefully. He knew that if it weren't for Ye Tianfan, the last support of the Shan Sect would have been lost!

This wasn't because Yu Shan was arrogant, calling himself the last support of the Shan Sect, but because, before the sect leader of the Shan Sect was seriously injured, he had already told everyone that if anything happened to him, then the next sect leader would be Yu Shan!

So Yu Shan felt such immense pressure, and in addition, without the transformation of the Chaos Treasure Lotus, their defense against Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative energies was inadequate, leading to Yu Shan getting slightly contaminated by these negative energies, which caused him to lose control.

If it weren't for his Magical Treasure being the Daffodil, which possessed a trace of purifying power, Yu Shan would have lost control much earlier, as soon as he became tainted with the negative energies.

And he wouldn't have taken so long, gradually losing control as the energies insidiously invaded his mind!

The most important point is that, even with a trace of power, the Daffodil still couldn't completely and effectively block these negative energies.

However, now that Yu Shan has been awakened by Ye Tianfan, these traces of negative energies dissipated as a result, mainly because these energies spent too much energy trying to corrode Yu Shan's mind. If Yu Shan had perfectly lost control, these energies would have been compensated and recovered.

But now that Yu Shan has been awakened by Ye Tianfan, despite their reluctance, the energies had to dissipate!

So now Yu Shan has come to his senses and understood what had happened, and he feels very thankful to Ye Tianfan!

"It's nothing, as long as you're okay. If something happened to you, the Shan Sect would suffer even greater losses!" Ye Tianfan consoled Yu Shan. After all, Ye Tianfan considered Yu Shan a good friend, so he felt sorrow for Yu Shan's situation.

It's important to know that the significant casualties the Shan Sect incurred were entirely due to their full confrontation with the Power of Heaven and Earth beyond the wall!

The Taichu Sect didn't fully confront the Power of Heaven and Earth because Ye Tianfan brought everyone into the Chaos Divine Pearl!

Then Taichu Zhenren stayed behind, while Ye Tianfan essentially led everyone back, ensuring they were all safe, as inside the Chaos Divine Pearl was another space, and the Power of Heaven and Earth beyond the wall, no matter how powerful, couldn't cross spaces to kill.

Even if it crossed spaces, the inside of the Chaos Divine Pearl wasn't an ordinary space, so the people of the Taichu Sect inside it were safe.

Additionally, with Taichu Zhenren staying behind, Ye Tianfan was even safer as they all safely returned to the major camp.

The price was only that Taichu Zhenren was seriously injured.

Why is the Shan Sect different? The Shan Sect fled together, but due to the varying cultivation levels, their velocities differed, causing the group to be uneven, with many falling behind.

The sect leader of the Shan Sect did everything to rescue those who fell behind, continually staying behind to defend, essentially fighting from start to finish. Despite this, many sect disciples were killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

Also, because the sect leader was overly concerned about his disciples, he barely cared for his own injuries during the battles.

The sect leader of the Shan Sect couldn't withstand the Power of Heaven and Earth beyond the wall but still fought desperately without leaving, leading to a situation where the leader was constantly being attacked, with virtually no ability to fight back.

Thus, the Shan Sect leader battled from start to end, unlike Taichu Zhenren, who began retreating while fighting as soon as Ye Tianfan left. Even so, Taichu Zhenren still sustained serious injuries.

In fact, Ye Tianfan already considered the Shan Sect leader nearly a goner because he knew that if Taichu Zhenren was so gravely hurt even while retreating, the fact that the Shan Sect leader wasn't dead yet was a miracle.

Furthermore, Ye Tianfan sensed that Taichu Zhenren might have damaged his foundation, as the Spiritual Power felt somewhat unstable when sensed by Ye Tianfan, not unstable in a wavelike manner but rippling instability.

Theoretically, a strong person like Taichu Zhenren shouldn't have appeared unstable, but he did, suggesting that Taichu Zhenren's foundation was shaky. This kind of instability usually only occurred among novices or those who had just advanced because they hadn't mastered the intensity of their Spiritual Power.

When Ye Tianfan sensed the damage to Taichu Zhenren's foundation, he felt a faint sadness in his heart.

Taichu Zhenren's damage, being irreversible, signified his goodbye to advancing to the Taichu realm. Though Taichu Zhenren might find other ways to reach that realm, his potential had been capped, preventing much future progress.

Ye Tianfan felt saddened by Taichu Zhenren sacrificing his path to immortality to save the rest of the Taichu Sect, which Ye Tianfan deeply admired but also deeply regretted.

After all, if Ye Tianfan and the others had seized a considerable territory beyond the wall and expanded it inside the wall, the luck belonging to that territory would flow inwards, and the first person to ascend to the Taichu realm with that luck would definitely have been Taichu Zhenren.

But now that Taichu Zhenren can't ascend, Ye Tianfan feels it's a great pity.

Just as Ye Tianfan was advising Yu Shan, he suddenly heard lots of commotion outside the main camp, mixed with cries for help.

After hearing the cries, Ye Tianfan exchanged a glance with Yu Shan and then understood that those calling for help faced a situation similar to that of the Shan Sect.

Immediately, Ye Tianfan and Yu Shan rushed outside.

Although Yu Shan was still feeling heartbroken, his kind heart propelled him to rush toward those crying for help.

Yu Shan wanted to help them, knowing the pain of losing fellow disciples and mentors.
