A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2366 Inside The Celestial Palace

Ye Fan led his relatives to Indra Sacred Mountain.

The area was surrounded by a range of mountains and was teeming with lush vegetation

Various poisonous insects and beasts lived within.

In the heart of the forest, the miasma hung even more heavily.

The crowd, initially filled with joy, recoiled at the sight of the living conditions, with many choosing to back out.

“Ye Fan, we won't be hiding in these deep mountains forever, will we? If that's truly the case, I'd rather be outside, consumed by the Universe Tree.” Accustomed to a life of privilege, Ye Jian naturally couldn't tolerate such harsh conditions and immediately began to complain. Ye Fan gave him a casual glance, without offering any kind words.

“You can go back now. I won't stop you.”

Ye Fan never enjoyed forcing someone to do something.

He only saved those who deserved to be saved.

If some people failed to recognize what was good for them, then even if they were his own kin, he would not insist on forcing them. He would let them fend for themselves

h Ye Jian's face contorted

Upon sensing the tense atmosphere, Ye Jian’s father, Ye Ya, immediately reprimanded his own son, “You ungrateful brat, don't you know what's good for you? Ye Fan brought you here to escape the apocalypse because he cares about you. If it were a stranger, would they care whether you live or die?"

Yet Ye Jian felt somewhat wronged. “But Father, I know Ye Fan meant well. But how are we supposed to live in such a desolate wilderness? Are we expected to live like cavemen?”

Ye Ya glared at him. “You're still complaining, huh?” Immediately, Ye Jian lowered his head, not daring to utter a word.

Right then, Ye Fan's uncle, Ye Tian, reassured them, “Rest assured. Ye Fan must have thought of all your concerns long ago. He surely has a foolproof plan and won't let us live like cavemen. Isn't that right, Ye Fan?

Ye Tian was a shrewd individual.

He was actually worried that he might end up hiding in these desolate mountains forever as well.

However, he didn’t complain: instead, he chose to inquire in a different manner.

Ye Fan did not respond.

He led the group and continued to move forward.

The group that Ye Fan had brought along was not large, consisting only of some of his relatives, as well as Xu Lei, Junie, and Noa Of course, this was just the first batch. Ye Fan would continue to help them migrate in stages afterward

As they ventured further into the mountains, the confidence of Ye Jian and Ye Tian progressively diminished.

They were obviously in fear that Ye Fan had led them to a scary place.

However, the women had no worries.

They had all been followers of Ye Fan for many years. They chose to believe in him unconditionally.

After traveling for half a day, Ye Fan led the group to a halt in a valley.

“We've arrived,” Ye Fan softly uttered.

“Here?” Ye Jian glanced around at his surroundings, feeling somewhat desolate.

How do one survive in this place?

The expressions on the faces of Ye Tian and Ye Ya, among others, were somewhat hard to read. “Ye Fan, are you... are you serious?”

Not to mention the surrounding area was teeming with poisonous insects and wild beasts, the key problem was that there wasn't even a single house. Eating, drinking. and taking care of one’s basic needs were all problematic.

Just when everyone was starting to lose heart, Ye Fan stared into the void before him and said, “Wan’er, lead us inside.”

Ye Fan's words left everyone stunned

Wan'er? Who's Wan’er?

Towering mountains lay before them.

Where else could they go?

Ye Jian and the others were somewhat bewildered.

They wondered if they were hallucinating, or if Ye Fan was hallucinating.

Or could it be that this place before their eyes held a hidden mystery?

Just as everyone was filled with astonishment and doubt, a woman's voice echoed out of nowhere.

“All right, Ye Fan

That gentle voice seemed to echo from the depths of the void.

Everyone immediately began to look around, trying to locate the source of the sound.

But it was precisely at this moment, they felt a tremendous suction force in front of them. Following that, the fabric of time and space shifted. Ye Jian and the others felt as if the world was spinning around them

By the time they regained their footing, they realized they were in a completely different world.

Glancing upward, they could observe the cerulean sky and the brilliant sun above, accompanied by clouds meandering overhead. Beneath their feet, the brook murmured softly, enveloped by the scent of blossoms and the melody of birds, while a tender zephyr wafted by. Ahead, there were even more pavilions intricately scattered about

It was an absolute picture of a utopian paradise.

What was even more astonishing was that the surrounding air was imbued with an ethereal aura.

As they took a long breath, it surprisingly brought about a sense of exhilaration and tranquility.

“Where... are we?"

“There's such a beautiful place in this world?”

Ye Jian and the others were all stunned

Just like country folks stepping into a city for the first time, everyone was gaping, looking around in all directions.

Xu Lei and Junie were also full of surprise.

They were only concerned with being able to accompany Ye Fan, so they didn't mind their living conditions.

However, upon seeing this place of beauty, akin to a paradise on earth, even the two of them couldn't help but be overwhelmed with joy. “Ye Fan, is this the place where we will be living for a long time? It's really beautiful.”

The thought of living in such a place with Ye Fan in the future filled Xu Lei's heart with immense happiness.

Ye Tian and the others also came to express their gratitude to Ye Fan.

“Haha, you never fail to impress, Ye Fan!”

“That is impressive indeed.

“How did you find such a heavenly place?”

“You're amazing!”

Everyone was full of admiration, each of them giving Ye Fan a thumbs up.

At that moment, Duanmu Wan'er, dressed in a white dress, gracefully walked over.

“Ye Fan, you've returned. Are all these people your relatives?”

Duanmu Wan'er looked at Ye Tian and the others.

Ye Jian and the others also looked over, and upon seeing the beauty of Duanmu Wan'er, they couldn't help but be astounded as if they had seen a celestial being.

She must surely be a fairy.

“Yeah. Wan'er, come with me. I nave something tQrdsk you.” Ye Fan led Duanmu War'er off to the side. . "Wan’er, during the time I was away, did Jian Boyou give you any trouble? That Mundane Sword Deity kept pressuring me to accept hinwas my roaster. I even managed te-anger him last time. I was worriéd he might harm you.”

“Ye Fan, you can rest assured now. Although Grandpa Jian has a peculia temperament, he's a good™. man. Mateover, at present, he's tod busy trying to curry favor with me. He wan't dare to make things difficult for me.” Duanmu Wan'er smiled, her eyes cold. Caftent

“Oh? What happened?

Upon hearing these words, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel curious.

Even though Ye Fan had limited interaction with Jian Boyou, he understood that this man's unique disposition was not readily manageable. “Hehe, Ye Fan, it's because of this.”

Duanmu Wan'‘er took out a leaf from the Universe Tree.

It turned out that during the years when Ye Fan was absent. Duanmu Wan’er had often sent Snow out to pick leaves from the Universe Tree. The leaves of the Universe Tree had the effect of nourishing the soul.

This was exactly what Jian Boyou needed.

“He needs something from me, so he has to butter me up at every turn. He even said he wanted to take me as his apprentice. However, I rejected him.” Duanmu Wan'er spoke with satisfaction.

Ye Fan nodded as he listened

“Wan'er, it still has to be you. That old geezer is so troublesome, yet you managed to handle him.” Ye Fan smiled approvingly. “Hehe... Ye Fan, you should rest for a while. I'll take everyone around to explore and introduce them to the celestial palace.” Duanmu Wan'er was very considerate.

Ye Fan nodded, his gratitude toward her growing even stronger in his heart.

Over the years, Duanmu Wan'er had truly done a lot for him.

Ye Jian and the others followed Duanmu Wan'er around for a tour.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, found himself walking alone into the grand hall of the celestial palace.

Having sensed Ye Fan's arrival, the phantom of the Mundane SN ivelaeI Deity promptly materialized. “Well, kid, have you'made up your mind? ~ It's not tgo late for you to take meas your maste now. Under my oO tutelage, your power could pregress exponentia ly. Furthermore,dwithin the celestial palace, there-exists a prized location for cultivation. You could spend a decade cultivating within, yet externally, merely a year would have elapsed.”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Fan was taken aback.

“Are you serious about what you just said? Is there really such a prized location in the celestial palace?” Ten years inside, one year outside. It's a tenfold acceleration of time.

There were just over three years left until the end of the world.

In other words, if Ye Fan were to cultivate within, he could practice for over thirty years.

The probability of breaking through the god realm had undoubtedly increased significantly.
