Chapter Thirty-Seven: Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven
So far, Ye Fan and his party were left with only thirteen people, and the others all died. Except for Ye Fan, who had a special physique, the remaining twelve people were evenly distributed, and each Dongtian Fudi could take away exactly two people.
This is a passive choice, but Zhou Yi and Lin Jia et al. do not reject it, just as the old people of Ling Xuan Cave Heaven said, this is an opportunity for them.
Finally, Ye Fan was in an awkward position, starting to be unanimously looked up to by everyone, but now no one pays attention to him anymore.
"I won't go with you if you don't bring Ye Fan." At this moment, Pang Bo looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, but his words were quite tough: "Worst comes to worst, I'll follow Ye Fan to the mortal world and make a living."
An old man in Lingxu Cave Heaven explained: "There are no ordinary people inside the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. If he joins them, it may not be a good thing for him."
Ye Fan listened clearly and thought carefully, thinking of all sorts of possible situations that might happen. Inside the Dongtian Fudi were all cultivators, who would care about him, a small ordinary person? Even if there was Pang Bo to take care of him, it wasn't a long-term plan, and in the future, there would definitely be many unpredictable troubles.
"Let's go with them, Pang Bo. I won't join any paradise or haven. Maybe it's better to just be a ordinary person, simple and plain."
"No way, I must take you away." Pang Bo firmly opposed.
"Alright, let's take Ye Fan away too." The elderly people of Ling Xu Dong Tian didn't want to give Pang Bo any reason to be resentful, so they decided to bring Ye Fan along as well.
"Slow!" Ye Fan didn't show any excitement, instead his face was calm and he said: "I've said it before, I won't join any cave heavens or blessed lands, thank you for your good intentions."
"Yefan, this is an opportunity..." Pangbo hastily persuaded.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "You don't need to persuade me." He had just thought it through carefully and completely understood that once he joined a certain sect or school, he might face all sorts of troubles. Moreover, the old man from Ling Xuan Cave Heaven had also hinted at this earlier.
"If you don't go, I will never follow them either." Pang Bo was very righteous and didn't want to leave Ye Fan behind, going on the road alone.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "From now on, I'll be counting on you. You must cultivate well. In the future, I'll still have to rely on you for support. For example, a few chivalrous women, fairy maidens, goddesses, or saintesses... just send a few over, and I won't be picky."
Pang Bo's words made everyone roll their eyes. The monks and nuns around him also showed strange expressions, with several female nuns glaring at him fiercely.
"Yefan, why don't you come with me instead?" Pangbo persuaded again.
"I really want to go with you, but I just want to visit for a while, not join them. I don't know if the people of Lingxu Cave Heaven will allow it." Ye Fan said suddenly, he was unwilling to cut off his connection with the immortal path, wanting to take this opportunity to enter Lingxu Cave Heaven and understand it, but didn't want to be bound by a certain sect.
"Good, as long as you're willing to go, that's all." Pang Bo immediately became excited, as long as Ye Fan was willing to go, he thought there would always be a way to keep him there. He immediately looked towards the few elderly people in Lingxu Cave Heaven.
"Alright." Several elderly people finally nodded in agreement.
Ye Fan and his group were about to bid farewell, with the road ahead unknown, everyone was both bewildered and expectant. In their final gathering, everyone bade each other farewell, promising to reunite in the future.
At this moment, Ye Fan is undoubtedly a bit special. His future holds no promise, and he has already become like two worlds apart from the crowd. Even if someone were to propose gathering again in the future, it's easy to imagine that he would not be able to appear before everyone's eyes again. Every time people look at him, they reveal an unusual color, with expressions varying from person to person.
In the end, they bid each other farewell and parted ways.
"Yefan, this is for you..." Yuyi handed the rosary in her hand to Yefan before leaving, not waiting for his refusal, and quickly left.
"It's actually good to be an ordinary person, I wish you a lifetime of happiness." Li Xiaoman walked over, said this sentence, took a deep look at him, and then turned around and left.
"Yefan, I wish you all the best for your future, and I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely have a colorful life in this world." Lin Jia said this and then left.
Then Zhou Yi and Wang Ziwu also came to bid farewell.
"It's actually a blessing to be an ordinary person." Zhou Yi smiled faintly and patted his shoulder, saying "There's nothing to be disheartened about."
Ye Fan's expression remained calm and unruffled, a faint smile on his lips as he said, "As for what happens next, who can say for sure."
……
Moments later, a dozen or so divine rainbows rose into the sky one after another, tearing apart the quiet night sky like a string of brilliant shooting stars, gradually disappearing at the horizon, and the crowd bid each other farewell.
After the others left, several old men from Ling Xiu Dongtian spoke to Pang Bo and Ye Fan: "Actually, these blessed lands are not far apart. If you want to meet, it's very easy."
The people of Lingxu Cave Heaven set out on the second day, driving the divine rainbow to move forward, with a speed as fast as wind and lightning, and the mountains, rivers and streams on earth kept retreating.
Finally, the group stopped in front of a faintly visible fairy mountain, where everything was peaceful and serene. The beautiful trees were lush and green, with pavilions and buildings scattered among them. Springs flowed and waterfalls cascaded, while cranes flew about, creating a vivid and natural scene that was truly a wonderful place.
"Is this the Lingxu Cave Heaven?" Pang Bo couldn't help but ask, however his next words were somewhat disappointing, muttering to himself: "The cranes are quite fat, can we catch one or two to roast and eat..."
An old man beside him glared at him and said, "Those are spiritual cranes that have opened their wisdom. Don't make reckless decisions. With your current skills, you can't even get close to them."
This place is not the inside of Lingxu Cave Heaven, but just the mountain gate. Inside, the fairy mist floats and hovers, vague and indistinct. Strange flowers and grasses are everywhere. When you come to a place where the clouds are deep and unknown, you only see a large bluestone standing in front of you, with two ancient characters carved on it: Lingxu!
Pang Bo naturally didn't recognize these two ancient characters. An old man next to him informed him, and he only then understood that they had just arrived at the Lingxu Cave Heaven.
Legend has it that this place was once a desolate ruin in the distant past, but after being slightly cleaned up by later generations, it became a paradise on earth. It can be said that the Lingxu Cave Heaven has a long history, and if we trace back further, this ancient land can be extended to the primitive era.
Later generations once excavated and cleaned up on a large scale, hoping to find some divine objects in the ruins, but ultimately nothing was gained.
Generations of powerful cultivators who have practiced here at Dongtian always feel that this place is not so simple, but unfortunately, they never made any major discoveries.
Passing by the large bluestone, walking into the mist in front, the scene suddenly changed greatly. Inside is an extremely beautiful world, as if it had suddenly arrived at another piece of heaven and earth.
"Is this the Lingxu Cave Heaven?"
"It's just like having its own little world!"
Several elderly people were very satisfied with Ye Fan and Pang Bo's reaction.
The vegetation here is as if favored by the essence of the sun and moon, even ordinary grasses are exceptionally green, like jade carved. The ancient trees reach the sky, fragrant herbs, spiritual birds fly, rare beasts appear, and divine springs flow.
At this moment, Ye Fan was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, an ancient scripture echoed in his heart, like the sound of a divine bell, shaking the heavens. It was the same ancient scripture he had obtained from the bronze ancient coffin, which consisted of hundreds of words.
