Rebuilding the He Huan Sect

On the mountain, in the dilapidated temple.

Liu Bai Yu had cleaned the interior thoroughly. The place no longer resembled its former state; it must be said that Liu Bai Yu was indeed a master of household chores.

Ascending from the foot of the mountain, Yang Yu Huan clung to Ye Fan's arm the entire way… The intimacy between the two was rapidly increasing, with many actions initiated by Yang Yu Huan.

Ye Fan did not refuse, but neither did he press forward.

He knew that Yang Yu Huan still regarded him as her father's killer… Now, only an opportunity remained to tell her everything.

Dao Integration Realm.

Heaven and earth were different.

Now, the world appearing in Ye Fan's sight seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire.

The colorful Spiritual Energy freely flowing in heaven and earth was like squids on a hot pan, constantly struggling uneasily.

Yet, the beings in this heaven and earth remained oblivious, still preparing for tomorrow's martial arts assembly…

This opportunity, it seemed, was also fast approaching.

Ye Fan looked up at the sky, knowing that deep within it lay an Eight Trigrams Furnace, and a three-eyed boy was guarding the bronze furnace. The illusory flames were born, and the spiritual energy in heaven and earth began to gradually dry up as the temperature rose.

Everything was changing.

However, the frog in the warm water pot could only await death.

"What should I do then?"

At this moment, Ye Fan somewhat missed the Bone Infant who had just left… He also wondered where that idealistic young man had gone in his impulsiveness…

Nevertheless, for now, it was best to remain hidden.

True mighty figures, though capable of propping up the heavens, need not always speak of "saving the world."

Doing is always more important than speaking.

Ye Fan looked towards Liu Bai Yu, who was meditating in cultivation, and suddenly spoke:

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother hopes you can do something. Can you accomplish it?"

Liu Bai Yu opened his eyes.

He did not know why this Senior Brother, with vast divine abilities and who had cared for him so meticulously, would speak in such a manner.

In his eyes, he would never fail any word from his Senior Brother.

Liu Bai Yu even felt a little excited.

After so many times needing his Senior Brother's help, finally, his Senior Brother had something for him to do.

"Senior Brother, I will certainly do my utmost!"

Ye Fan nodded.

"When I was in the He Huan Sect, I saw that the people within the sect were consumed by greed, anger, ignorance, and lust, neglecting the dual cultivation path, only knowing how to harvest and supplement… Such a He Huan Sect is not the true He Huan Sect…"

Deep within Liu Bai Yu's eyes, a tremor ran… In truth, he had always had opinions about the sect… but he did not know where the problem lay.

Now Liu Bai Yu quietly listened to his Senior Martial Brother speak, while Yang Yu Huan beside him stared at Ye Fan with a strange gaze.

Ye Fan, wearing a mask, continued:

"I hope you can re-establish the He Huan Sect on this mountain!"

What he had seen in the He Huan Sect that day was still vivid before his eyes.

Ye Fan did not wish to be involved with the He Huan Sect disciples who were indulging in pleasure in the grand hall… but now, this identity required the He Huan Sect as a foundation to become more authentic.

…

"Senior Martial Brother wants to rebuild the He Huan Sect…"

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. With Senior Martial Brother's unfathomable strength, even if the Sect Leader and all the He Huan Sect disciples attacked together, they would not be his match."

However, Liu Bai Yu did not nod; he always felt there was another meaning in his Senior Brother's words.

"Senior Brother, what do you wish me to do!"

Ye Fan looked into Liu Bai Yu's fervent eyes hidden behind the mask… and knew that Liu Bai Yu would not refuse him… but now, he needed to give Liu Bai Yu a reason.

A reason that would make him persevere.

Ye Fan then slowly said:

"What joy is there in life, what fear is there in death… I hope the He Huan Sect can embody these eight words…"

At this moment, countless figures flashed through Ye Fan's mind…

…

Liu Bai Yu repeated:

"What joy is there in life, what fear is there in death?"

Yang Yu Huan's eyes widened, filled with bewilderment.

The culture of Da Qian was originally vast and profound, not something an outsider of the Fire Worship Sect like her could understand…

Even so, Yang Yu Huan was shaken by the extraordinary power within these eight words.

It seemed these eight words were very unusual.

…

Ye Fan repeated once more:

"Yes, it is 'what joy is there in life, what fear is there in death'… Can the future He Huan Sect, and you, Junior Brother, achieve this?"

Liu Bai Yu's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he solemnly nodded to Ye Fan:

"As long as Senior Martial Brother wishes it, Junior Brother will surely achieve it!"

At this moment, Yang Yu Huan looked at the two He Huan Sect brothers; the atmosphere between them was extremely unusual, yet it seemed it was always meant to be so.

Yang Yu Huan could not help but admit that, apart from Da Qian's culture,

"Men's affairs are truly too perplexing."

Ye Fan placed a hand on Liu Bai Yu's shoulder, secretly chanting in his heart:

"Reverse Star Devouring Great Art!"

This time, Ye Fan transferred a great deal of power to Liu Bai Yu…

Liu Bai Yu's cultivation level rose from Xiantian Fifth Rank, to Xiantian Fourth Rank, then Xiantian Third Rank, Xiantian Second Rank…

Now Ye Fan had become Liu Bai Yu's golden finger.

Having experienced a similar situation before, Liu Bai Yu was not flustered… It was just that these powers were too strong; in an instant, Liu Bai Yu found that he had broken through the Xiantian Realm, reaching above First Rank!

Moreover, this transfer of power had not stopped!

…

Ye Fan had long had a plan in his heart.

In his hasty glance.

The disciples of the sects outside Ji Zhou City, plus the Sect Leaders and Elders, the strongest among them was only late Nascent Soul… The strength of ordinary people was roughly between Xiantian Ninth Rank and above First Rank.

As long as he raised Liu Bai Yu's strength to the Core Formation stage, and then arranged a safe competition route, he could personally create a legend in the martial world.

The He Huan Sect would surely become famous throughout the world in one fell swoop!

…

Now, Ye Fan continued to speak to his Junior Brother:

"To establish a new He Huan Sect, there are several very important points that Junior Brother must bear in mind!"

"From now on, within the He Huan Sect, male and female disciples practicing dual cultivation must freely pair up… the strong must not arbitrarily harvest and supplement… Even if disciples within the sect wish to dual cultivate with disciples from other sects, they must not be stopped…"

Liu Bai Yu nodded.

"Our He Huan Sect's internal cultivation methods must be made public, so that everyone can freely cultivate…"

"Ah, this!"

Although Liu Bai Yu was a bit reluctant, he also nodded.

Finally,

"The He Huan Sect shall have free entry and exit; if any disciple wishes to leave the sect, they shall not be stopped for any reason?"

"Ah!?"

Liu Bai Yu asked Ye Fan again…

"Then what if other sects send people to the He Huan Sect as spies?"

Ye Fan smiled,

"Water flows to lower ground, people seek higher ground… Over time, everyone will vote with their feet…"
