You must carry on your master's legacy.
As Ye Nantian's final trace of life Origin and spiritual energy entered Chu Fan's body, the treatment to repair the Dantian finally came to a complete end.
Chu Fan had successfully obtained a brand-new Dantian, but at the same time, Ye Nantian had paid with his own life.
"Have a safe journey..." Jiang Wang whispered in Ye Nantian's ear.
The final glimmer of light in the latter's eyes finally faded completely; he was dead.
Meanwhile, Chu Fan, whose treatment was complete, finally opened his eyes.
He looked at the familiar ceiling in a daze, finally realizing something.
"Qingyang Peak... I'm back?"
Shifting his gaze, he saw Ye Nantian in front of him.
"Master!"
Chu Fan hugged Ye Nantian excitedly; he had too many things he wanted to say to his Master.
However, he instantly sensed something wrong.
Why was Ye Nantian's body so cold? Why was there not the slightest reaction of spiritual energy throughout his body?
"Little Friend Chu Fan, please accept my condolences." Qi Jiang spoke up at this moment.
Chu Fan only then noticed there was another person in the room.
He looked at the other person in disbelief and sternly demanded, "Who are you?! What are you saying! What exactly happened to my Master!?"
"This matter perhaps needs to be told starting from a few days ago, when I was out traveling..."
Jiang Wang told Chu Fan the story he had carefully fabricated, letting him know what had happened during the days he was unconscious.
According to Jiang Wang's description, the Big Brother Jiang Wang whom Chu Fan had originally met died in the mouth of a Yao Beast while protecting him on the way to the Three Saints Sect.
As Qi Jiang, he had saved Chu Fan and, following Jiang Wang's dying wish, brought Chu Fan to the Three Saints Sect.
These events were things he had fabricated long ago; whether it was for Liu Yueru or Ye Nantian, he used this same set of excuses.
After arriving at the Three Saints Sect, he found Ye Nantian, who had gone out to seek medicine to treat Chu Fan, but returned empty-handed.
With no other choice, in order to treat Chu Fan and repair his Dantian, Ye Nantian ultimately paid the price with his life.
"Little Friend Chu Fan, your Master truly regarded you as his own flesh and blood."
"He left behind a final wish, hoping that you could go further and further on the path of cultivation..."
Jiang Wang finished recounting everything in a compassionate tone, while Chu Fan, holding Ye Nantian's corpse, was already streaming with tears.
He never imagined that Ye Nantian would actually pay the price of his life for him.
Jiang Wang handed over a handkerchief at the appropriate moment, letting Chu Fan wipe away his tears.
He then said in a suspicious tone, "Earlier, I saw your Master suddenly take you away from Qingyang Peak, appearing to go look for someone."
"But looking at his solemn expression when he returned, he must not have found them. If Fellow Daoist Ye Nantian had found what he was looking for at that time, perhaps this matter would have had a different ending..."
Hearing this, Chu Fan reacted instantly, "Who did my Master go to look for earlier?!"
"I only remember the general direction he flew away with you; I am not clear on where exactly he went, as I am not a member of your Three Saints Sect."
Jiang Wang brought the red-eyed Chu Fan outside the courtyard, then pointed in a certain direction.
Having already investigated the Three Saints Sect, he was naturally pointing in the direction of Chenyang Peak.
Looking at that familiar direction, a scene instantly appeared in Chu Fan's mind.
Ye Nantian holding his dying self, begging Su Ming for treatment, but being ruthlessly rejected and mocked by the other party.
In the end, Ye Nantian had no choice but to bring him back to Qingyang Peak and save him by trading one life for another.
Su Ming, it is Su Ming again; why is it always him?
Because of him, he was punished to enter Yan Yu Cliff, failed at the Sect Grand Competition, and was swept into the spatial turbulence.
Everything that happened after this was all because of Su Ming!
He even blamed the death of 'Big Brother Jiang Wang' on Su Ming.
In an instant, Chu Fan ran towards Chenyang Peak like a madman.
However, how could Jiang Wang let Chu Fan go to his death in vain?
If he ran to find Su Ming in this state, would his own plan not be ruined?
So he directly pulled Chu Fan back.
"Although I don't know what you are going to do now, your priority right now is to calm down!"
"Your Master sacrificed himself to save your life and your cultivation; he wanted to see you go further and further on the path of cultivation. Do you want to disappoint his expectations?!"
These words instantly brought Chu Fan back to his senses.
He sensed his empty Dantian; he had no cultivation at all now.
With such strength, what could he do even if he walked to Chenyang Peak? Let that Su Ming mock him again?
His Master had already paid so much for him; he absolutely could not disappoint his Master's expectations.
"We will first bury your Master properly, then go to consolidate your cultivation. Your Master handed you over to me before he died; I will not let you do anything foolish. You must carry on your Master's dying wish..."
At this moment, Jiang Wang was every bit the compassionate teacher, which really did fit the temperament of the Jixia Academy.
Before turning back to Ye Nantian's side, Chu Fan took one last look at the location of Chenyang Peak.
"Su Ming, I, Chu Fan, and you are irreconcilable enemies! I don't care how noble you were born; as long as there is an Opportunity in the future, I will kill you!"
Meanwhile, Su Ming successfully used the spiritual energy shared from Chu Fan to smoothly break through to the seventh level of the Longevity Realm.
The moment he opened his eyes, the System's notifications arrived as expected.
【The Host indirectly caused the death of Chu Fan's Master, Ye Nantian; obtained 50,000 destiny points.】
【Chu Fan has developed monstrous hatred for the Host, vowing to fight to the death; obtained 50,000 destiny points.】
【The Host successfully dealt a major blow to Chu Fan; obtained 100,000 destiny points.】
"Hmm? Even with the Remnant Soul of Taotie and me splitting the spiritual energy poured in by Ye Nantian, it shouldn't have required him to pay with his life to repair Chu Fan's Dantian..."
Su Ming immediately realized something was wrong.
Ye Nantian's cultivation was one level higher than in the original story; there was no reason he would die because of repairing a Dantian.
Plus, the System specifically used the word "indirectly"; there must be some other trickery involved.
"Could it be the work of the Remnant Soul of Taotie?"
"Forget it, no need to think so much. If Ye Nantian is dead, then he is dead."
He still remembered Ye Nantian's face back then.
With millions of destiny points in hand, Chu Fan would not be able to make any waves no matter what now.
Unless he spent the rest of his life relying only on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Empowerment of others to improve his cultivation, any Opportunity would have nothing to do with Chu Fan.
Without the Opportunity given by destiny, Chu Fan would never dream of catching up to him in his lifetime.
【Due to the Host dealing a major blow to Chu Fan, you may be targeted by destiny in the coming period; please be aware, Host.】
"Then let it come!"
The last time he was targeted by destiny, it allowed Su Ming to see his mother again. This time, if there were no exceptions, the will left behind by Su Wu and Ling Xiao should also take action.
He had his Supreme parents standing behind him; why would he be afraid of this minor targeting by destiny?
