Chapter 1299: Superior Skills
Lin Fan understood the reasoning.
But if she were to stand idly by and watch this world be destroyed, the entire Changtianmen be overthrown by disaster, and familiar people struggle to survive in misery...
Lin Fan suddenly realized that her once cold and hard heart had changed.
It was the little things that had happened at Changtianmen over the past year that had gently and silently softened her heart.
In fact, the emotional softening plan devised for her on the Noah was on the right track.
However, most people subconsciously worry about her identity and fear her power, so there are always some problems in carrying out her orders.
Lin Fan could always easily see the worry in Wu Yi's eyes, the respect Guan Ying showed, the well-concealed anxiety of Cen Fangyuan, and the unease beneath Antonio's unbridled behavior.
Even Jin Sichen, who was the best at putting on an act, showed no signs of anything amiss on his face, but the tablet in his hand was no longer playing melodramatic dramas all day long. Instead, he had been studying materials and developing many psychological intervention plans for a long time.
Lin Fan knew everything.
She was aware of her own extreme changes, and she was also aware of the expectations of others.
However, her overly keen insight always allowed her to easily perceive the real anxiety hidden beneath the surface emotions.
They don't like her as she is now, and they're unwilling to accept her as she is now.
Everyone wanted her to return to her original state, but they forgot that Lin Fan, amidst this extreme change, suppressed deep within her heart, unable to express her feelings, and her already uncertain and bewildered state of mind.
Her keen senses detected only rejection. Yet, the Lin Fan of today was still her. She was Lin Fan who had experienced change.
No one wants to be excluded. Not even a "demigod" who is high above and cannot descend to the mortal realm.
She doesn't feel sad or angry, but the urge to get rid of trouble is always instantly triggered and then fiercely suppressed.
So Lin Fan simply hid in Xiaoyao Mountain.
Training herself is one aspect. But what worries her more is staying away from crowds, fearing she might lose control one day and go on a killing spree, destroying the Noah.
Fortunately, Yue Zhengyuanqing didn't care about her changes.
Or rather, at least from that perpetually angry face, one could not discern any change in his attitude towards Lin Fan.
The sword that was meant to strike still fell mercilessly, and everyone who was meant to be hit received a beating.
Le Zhengyuanqing seemed completely unaware that Lin Fan had once reached the demigod realm, and even made her demands on him to an almost abnormal degree because of her further enhancement of her five senses.
At the end of each day, Lin Fan felt like a dead dog, lying on the ground in pain all over, too exhausted to think of anything else.
Blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze, rustling leaves, and the calls of unknown birds rising and falling...
Only in this pure nature can the tense nerves of someone sitting high in the sky truly relax.
While Yue Zhengyuan could not soften Lin Fan's heart, his frankness and powerful teaching process allowed Lin Fan to release all her energy, while also releasing the anxiety and restless destructive desires deep within her.
After leaving Xiaoyao Mountain, Lin Fan went down to the Permaworld.
After that, she traveled with Wu Yi, Guan Ying, and Bin Ze for a while. After Bin Ze confirmed the direction, they split up and soon entered Changtian Gate, parting ways with Wu Yi and Guan Ying.
Although not long after, Lin Fan, through his own efforts, brought the three of them back together in Yinyuewu, where they were able to live together.
But the same problem remains—although Wu Yi and Guan Ying also showed Lin Fan their sincere care, they still had subconscious reservations.
Furthermore, the inner disciples of Changtianmen have a heavy workload, limited time, and are constantly trying to keep up with Lin Fan, not wanting to fall too far behind. Therefore, the heartwarming action plan was largely ineffective.
However, the people of Changtianmen initially only had a bad impression of Lin Fan as an orphan girl whose life had been delayed, and their feelings for her were purer.
The elders of Changtian Sect were not easy to get along with, but they all cherished Lin Fan's talent and showed her special favor. Throughout the sect, every disciple who had met Lin Fan was friendly to her.
The "steward" Su Ze, along with the servants and disciples of Yinyuewu, took such good care of her that she was waited on hand and foot.
Lin Fan forgot her true identity for a time, as if she were just an orphan girl with a chaotic spiritual root, eager to learn and filling herself with new knowledge every day.
In this simple, everyday atmosphere, Lin Fan's "humanity" gradually revived. However, he didn't have the opportunity to show it within the sect until he went out to train and gradually revealed it.
Changtianmen accomplished what Noah couldn't, which was indeed due to their ignorance of Lin Fan's true identity.
But Lin Fan acknowledged this affection.
The earnest teachings of her masters, the precious friendship of her fellow disciples who had accompanied her along the way, and the treasures filled with disciple tokens all reminded her conscience that she should not stand idly by.
At the very least, we cannot turn a blind eye to or ignore what might happen in the future.
She respects the fate of others.
Le Zheng Yuanqing has no real interests with the Youye Sect. It's normal and reasonable for him to be able to distance himself from it.
But the fate of Changtianmen had already become intertwined with her the moment Lin Fan entered the sect. If she disregarded cause and effect and ignored the dangers of Changtianmen, one day her decision today would damage her Dao heart, make her a target of inner demons, and hinder her cultivation.
and so……
“I’m determined to take charge of anything that could harm Changtianmen.”
Upon hearing Lin Fan's resounding words, Yue Zhengyuanqing seemed to fall into a deep sleep, remaining completely still, except for a rapid twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Antonio, never one to shy away from a good show, clapped enthusiastically: "Fly high, baby, I'll always be with you. But didn't you guys destroy several points of that Five Elements Biochemical Array?"
“One from Mingmin Mountain,” Antonio counted on his fingers, “and one from the Canghai Sect. We’re missing two of the five elements; it’s going to die out!”
The commotion at Mingmin Mountain is huge. Everyone knows about it.
Although it is now under the control of Changtianmen and Taixu Palace, whatever is below it, as a key point of the Five Elements Life-Generating Array, it is definitely useless.
The Canghai Sect was mentioned when Ao Hen returned.
When Yue Zhengyuanqing was giving him the medicine, Sect Master Youye was asking him questions.
He was initially reluctant. But upon seeing Antonio, for reasons unknown, he stopped keeping quiet.
“It’s missing three.” Lin Fan then took out the underwater Dragon Palace plate again. “So the current Five Elements Biochemical Array only has the already formed Brahma City, which belongs to fire, and your Youye Sect, which belongs to metal.”
“But it has nothing to do with me,” Antonio waved his hands repeatedly, then asked, “Since you know all this, what’s there to worry about? It’s not going to work out anyway!”
Lin Fan glanced at him: "The position of the formation can be changed. Although this time the Five Elements Biochemical Formation uses the entire world as its diagram, the layout is indeed a bit large. But as long as the person who set it up is still around, if this one is destroyed, there's no guarantee that there won't be another one. What I'm worried about is the one that comes after."
“There’s no need to worry,” Yue Zhengyuanqing suddenly spoke up. “Even if those few array points weren’t destroyed, the Five Elements Biochemical Array needs to absorb enough spiritual energy to take effect. To restore the glory of ancient times, we must return to the time before the world was destroyed. You’ve forgotten the current concentration of spiritual energy…”
“That’s right!” Antonio punched his hand. “With the current amount of spiritual energy, there’s not even enough for cultivators to level up, so where would they get any extra spiritual energy for the Five Elements Life-Generating Array?”
"That's why it was set up under the Youye Sect, and there's also that city-slaughtering transformation. When people go crazy, what kind of terrible ideas can't they come up with?"
Lin Fan paused, then continued, "However, my senior brother reminded me that the limitation on spiritual energy remains their biggest problem. We can find clues by paying attention to any unusual movements in the spiritual energy. Maybe if we're lucky, they won't even have enough spiritual energy to collect by the time we clear away the radiation from the ancient world below..."
"Aren't you afraid they'll resort to desperate measures?" Antonio asked.
"If they could cause any trouble, they would have done it already. Why wait until now?" Lin Fan slowly shook his head.
"What I care more about is the opportunity that led to this change. Is Binze involved in all of this? What role did he play in it?"
