Chapter 1060: Chapter 941: Destined Encounter

The residual radiation at the center of the explosion is still very strong, but for Yan, Chu Xuanji, Lv Yuan, and the others, this bit of radiation poses no threat under their Protective Gang Qi.

The group spread out, using the giant crater at the center of the explosion as the focal point, searching in all directions for traces of Ye Fan. They firmly believed that Ye Fan would definitely not meet with any mishap.

However——

As the search area gradually expanded, their hearts sank. With their powerful Divine Senses, nothing could escape their detection.

But after searching for a long time, not to mention a person, they couldn’t even find a single hair; all they saw was the glaring sand reflecting the sunlight, unable to sense anything!

“Ye Fan, Xiao Fan, where are you…”

Su Liuli and Chu Ji kept calling as they searched, their voices tinged with sobs. The more they searched, the more they felt their hearts sinking.

“Ye Zi, can’t you just come out and stop playing hide and seek with me? I beg you…”

Lv Zhan was also constantly calling. Not finding Ye Fan, he would never give up, but he knew the hope was slim.

It wasn’t just them; almost everyone felt their hopes waning bit by bit during the search. Could Ye Fan really be dead? Could the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown not withstand the explosion of a super nuclear bomb?

“Boom…”

Just as they were searching farther and farther away, a loud explosion suddenly erupted on the edge of the giant sandpit behind them. A golden crown, radiant with golden light, burst out of the sand, spinning in the air.

“Golden Crown? Is it Ye Fan?”

Lv Zhan immediately took notice, turned back, and saw a golden crown glowing brilliantly in the air. Excited, he rushed towards the direction of the golden crown.

Upon entering the explosion site, Chu Xuanji and Yan had mentioned to everyone that Ye Fan might be hiding inside a golden crown to find Ye Fan as quickly as possible.

So, as soon as Lv Zhan saw the golden crown, he immediately associated it with what the two masters had said and sped towards the location of the crown like the wind.

At the same time, others also heard the loud noise and saw the spectacle of the golden crown spinning in the air, rushing towards its location.

The next moment.

The golden crown vanished instantly, replaced by Ye Fan standing in the void, with a pair of golden wings on his back.

“You little rascal, you really aren’t dead. You scared the old man to death!”

Chu Xuanji was the first to appear beside Ye Fan, excitedly giving his shoulder a heavy pat, looking at his proud disciple with relief, the worry in his eyes yet to fade.

“Master, I told you everything was fine…”

Ye Fan responded softly, his heart filled with a deep sense of emotion. It was still his master who cared about him the most. The blast had just passed, and they had rushed over.

“Ye Zi, you scared the hell out of me. I thought you…”

Lv Zhan and Ye Hei hurried over, looking at Ye Fan with excitement. Ye Fan’s safety was more important than anything; they couldn’t express anything else.

“Thought what? Thought I was dead? Let me tell you, my life is tough. Even if you die, I won’t.” Ye Fan stepped forward and embraced Lv Zhan and others one by one, feeling the deep bond of brotherhood through their body language.

Afterwards, Ye Fan exchanged a few pleasantries with Lv Yuan and the others.

It was a formality that Ye Fan couldn’t ignore. Since Lv Yuan and the others braved the intense radiation after the nuclear explosion to find him, no matter the reason, he would respect them greatly.

In terms of strength and reputation, Ye Fan had long surpassed Lv Yuan and the others, but no matter how high his reputation or strong his strength, one thing could not change: these people were always his seniors.

It’s necessary to show due respect to seniors, especially when these people are still the masters and grandfathers of his brothers.

“It’s good to be alive, it’s good to be alive!”

Lv Yuan, Ye Feng, Cang Bo, and others looked at Ye Fan with relief, their hearts deeply shocked. At such a strong explosion center, even True Essence Realm mutant beasts were blown to bits, yet Ye Fan emerged unscathed, lively and kicking, which amazed them.

The group left the center of the explosion, stopped at an oasis to replenish some water, and rested for a while.

Near a giant cactus, Ye Fan briefly recounted his experiences to the crowd around him, though everyone already knew, except for what exactly happened after the explosion.

“Just now, I asked Elder Xuan for help, and he agreed to seal the passage between the Xuan Realm and Earth. Now let’s head to the Havis Desert, where the Light Gate is located, to seal the passage quickly. It’ll put our minds at ease.”

Finally, Ye Fan mentioned the sealing of the passage between the Xuan Realm and Earth, which everyone naturally agreed with.

The passage between the Xuan Realm and Earth was a ticking time bomb, with no telling when mutant beasts or cultivators from the Xuan Realm might enter, which would be an absolute disaster for Earth!

Only by sealing the passage could Earth’s temporary peace be preserved, and even that peace could buy Earth some time.

After resting enough, the group boarded the Flying Artifact again. Ye Fan still had the Golden Feather Wings, which were high-level Flying Artifacts in themselves, not at all inferior to the War God Alliance’s flying ships, and even faster.

…

As Ye Fan and others were rapidly flying toward the Havis Desert in America, Gu Yun from the Xuan Realm had already entered the golden Light Gate with Chen Daozang, stepping into the Xuan Realm through this space portal.

The moment they stepped out of the Light Gate, Chen Daozang was stunned, as the dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here made him feel as if he could fly, and all the pores of his body seemed to have opened.

“Be careful, this is the Xuan Beast Forest. Do not alarm the powerful Xuan Beasts here, or else, even if the elders were to come, we’d only have to flee.”

Gu Yun quickly advised Chen Daozang, then led him stealthily, carefully avoiding the territory of the powerful Xuan Beasts, until reaching the edge of the Xuan Beast Forest, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

During this process, Gu Yun continuously made marks, preparing for future visits.

Chen Daozang was fine, but he also sensed a few extremely powerful auras along the way, which made him believe Gu Yun’s words.

“Who’s there? Come out?”

Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, stepping out of the edge of the Xuan Beast Forest, they suddenly heard a loud shout, followed by seeing four young cultivators in long robes and long hair surrounding them in a fan shape.

Thump!

Feeling that the auras of the people were all at the True Essence Realm, Chen Daozang’s heart trembled. Although the Xuan Realm was more suitable for cultivators than Earth, it was also filled with various dangers.

His strength was considered top-notch on Earth, but in the Xuan Realm, he was probably at the bottom.

“Fifth Junior Brother, Seventh Junior Brother, Eighth Junior Brother, Ninth Junior Brother, how come it’s you? What brings you here?”

While Chen Daozang pondered secretly, Gu Yun looked at the four with surprise and directly approached them.

“Senior Brother? You’re alive? That’s wonderful!”

The four immediately restrained their hostility and greeted him with surprise.

“Senior Brother, who is this person? I’ve never seen him before, which sect is he from?”

The one referred to as Fifth Junior Brother asked, pointing at Chen Daozang after exchanging pleasantries with Gu Yun.

“He’s a friend of mine. If it wasn’t for him, I would be dead. I’ll tell you about it later, or you can ask him directly.”

Gu Yun smiled, pushing Chen Daozang forward, giving a brief introduction of the situation.

“This is all unbelievable!”

“Senior Brother, I personally suggest that one of us goes back to the sect to report, the Sect Leader and the elders should believe it, while the others guard the passage. On one hand, to prevent other sects from getting there first, and on the other, to prevent mutant beasts from entering Earth again!”

With Gu Yun’s words, the four disciples of the Tianyuan Sect were first shocked, then someone proposed this suggestion.

“Your suggestion is very good.”

Gu Yun pondered for a moment and said, “I will return to the sect to report to the Sect Leader, and have him bring you to the passage. You must protect him well, make sure nothing happens to him, understand?”

“Senior Brother, let me report to Master. You stay?” Ninth Junior Brother volunteered to report to the sect instead of Gu Yun.

Gu Yun shook his head and said, “Junior Brother, you don’t understand the full story as I do. This matter is of great importance and must not go wrong, so I’ll go. Remember, Brother Chen must not be in any danger. Also, before Brother Chen takes you to the passage at the Light Gate, guard the Light Gate, don’t let any mutant beast or cultivator enter!”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother, we will protect Brother Chen’s safety with our lives if necessary!”

The four disciples of the Tianyuan Sect vowed.

Gu Yun nodded and started flying towards the Tianyuan Sect, while Chen Daozang led the other four cautiously towards the passage.

Along the way, Chen Daozang explained the situation on Earth in more detail to the four.

“What? Cultivators on Earth can reach such a realm under such resource-poor conditions, it’s simply unbelievable!”

The four were astonished simultaneously and understood why Senior Brother said this matter was of great importance. Indeed, if things were as Chen Daozang described, then Earth would be an inexhaustible treasure trove and the future stronghold of the Tianyuan Sect, no wonder Senior Brother was so cautious.

Once they arrived near the passage, with Chen Daozang leading, the five entered the world passage in single file, ready to guard the other end of it.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and others were on their way to the passage.

The two sides are destined to meet!
