Chapter 683 - 781: This Day Has Finally Passed
By the time Ye Tianfan removed the mark, night had already fallen.
Ye Tianfan looked at the darkened cave and sighed immediately; today has finally ended. Too many things happened, disrupting my cultivation.
Hopefully, tomorrow won't have as many interruptions, allowing me to cultivate peacefully.
Ye Tianfan held the Xiaoyao Sword in his hand and then lit up the lamps in the cultivation cave.
The soft light instantly illuminated the entire cultivation cave, bringing a sense of warmth to Ye Tianfan.
Seeing this gentle light, Ye Tianfan recalled the previous life, in the new home with Qin Ruomeng, where the light was just as soft.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan sat cross-legged on the ground somewhat despondently, staring blankly at the Xiaoyao Sword in his hand.
Then, his mind turned to Qin Ruomeng, wondering how she was now, whether she was alright. It has been three years since I came here, how much time has passed in that world? Are she and Long Yuqing still fighting, or have they shared burdens since my disappearance?
I wronged Qin Ruomeng; we had gone through so much to be together, but now I've crossed into this world, leaving Qin Ruomeng alone in that world.
And there's Long Yuqing, I wonder how he's doing now, and how he and Qin Ruomeng are getting along? Hopefully, they haven't become enemies again because of my absence.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan scratched his head in distress. Three years, I've only reached the Thousand Source Realm in three years, and although I'm a prodigy in this world, it's still too slow, really too slow, three years after another three years.
I've already reached the Thousand Source Realm, so I no longer worry about my life.
But it's different for Qin Ruomeng, they are still mortals, still subject to birth, old age, illness, and death, less than a century.
If I take more than fifty years to reach the Prime Realm, then even if I return, what awaits me are merely skeletons.
Yet in my current situation, there's simply no way to reach the Prime Realm within fifty years.
As Ye Tianfan's power grows, he understands more and knows that cultivating too quickly without keeping up mentally is problematic, because then, not only won't he advance to the Prime Realm, even maintaining his life could be a concern.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan felt a wave of frustration and unrest.
Sometimes, Ye Tianfan thought, maybe I'll just live out my days in solitude in this world. After all, I might not be able to return to that world, and even if I do, that world might not be the one I know.
But Ye Tianfan still harbors hope, hoping the time flow here is different from that world; perhaps a hundred years here is just one year there. Then again, it could be the opposite, with three years here equating to over three hundred years there. By the time I advance beyond the Prime Realm, this world may have torn down dimensional walls, leading to other worlds.
Of course, this is just Ye Tianfan's inner thoughts, he knows no matter how much he thinks, it's merely speculation; the reality is unknown.
No one knows what the future holds, and perhaps Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing, while exploring the Dragon Nine Cup, were also swept into another world, gaining extended lifespans.
Actually, deep down, Ye Tianfan hopes Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing got swept into another world too, where they can extend their lives through cultivation.
Ye Tianfan then thought that if they were drawn into another world, since that world allows cultivation, there will be conflicts, putting Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing in perilous situations.
Thus, Ye Tianfan feels conflicted, wanting them to cross into other worlds yet fearing the dangers.
If they crossed into other worlds, their intention would surely be the same as mine: to cultivate well and return to their world.
If they succeed in cultivation and return, then they have a chance to reunite.
Though the odds are slim, a chance is better than none.
Moreover, considering Long Yuqing and Qin Ruomeng's nature, they wouldn't place themselves in overly dangerous situations, they'd surely protect themselves.
Returning to their original world, however, seems even less likely.
After all, Ye Tianfan has understood the meaning of "Three Thousand Worlds."
Crossing into this world means there are countless other worlds.
It implies that even if I break through this world, finding my own world among so many is a problem.
Ye Tianfan thinks it's too early to worry about this, so he shakes his head and decides not to think about it yet, especially since he's just a minor role at the Thousand Source Realm.
Breaking through this world requires reaching beyond the Prime Realm, so these concerns should wait until I've surpassed the Prime Realm and can break through this world.
If I can't find my world at once, then I'll search one world at a time.
Eventually, I'll find it, as long as I'm strong enough to continue living.
Perhaps after finding that world, I can revive Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing.
With this thought, Ye Tianfan arranged bedding in a corner of the cultivation cave, placing the Xiaoyao Sword aside, and then lay down on the prepared bedding.
Ye Tianfan planned to rest well tonight and begin true cultivation tomorrow morning.
Considering all that happened today, while not physically drained, mentally Ye Tianfan was quite fatigued, so he intended to rest well and face any issues tomorrow.
Following this train of thought, Ye Tianfan fell asleep thinking of Long Yuqing and Qing Ruomeng.
In his dream, Ye Tianfan dreamt of returning to his original world, living happily with Qin Ruomeng, who bore him twins. Ye Tianfan held the girl joyfully, unwilling to let go.
Then, somewhat dismissively, Ye Tianfan glanced at the boy and said, "Let's call him Ye Meng!"
Ye Tianfan looked gleefully at the girl in his arms and said, "Call her Ye Keai."
