"Ha ha, what a noble act of self-sacrifice!" said Guo Zhubiantian, laughing loudly as he walked in, with Sanbao following behind.
"Father, why are you here? Guo Xin'er also rose to greet us."
"Headmaster, why did you come? I!" Ye Yi was startled. He was about to get up to welcome him, but felt weak all over and stumbled, falling down again. Fortunately, Sanbao promptly caught him, otherwise he might have sustained two more injuries.
"It's okay. Don't move around. Just rest well," Guo Zhubiantian stopped Ye Yi and asked him to rest peacefully.
"I feel for the first time that gathering energy is so difficult!" Ye Yi took a deep breath and recalled the process of his own energy gathering. Finally, he was hit by the combined energy of the five elements, almost causing his death.
"Ha ha, don't be depressed. Star energy gathering is incomparable to other energy gatherings. If you were practicing other types of energy, you would have become a cultivator long ago!" Guo Zhubiantian comforted him, and in fact, this was the truth. Star energy gathering was inherently difficult, and apart from the Emperor of Heaven, there were few who succeeded. Moreover, those who succeeded did not go beyond the nuclear stage and stopped there. Only those who surpassed the nuclear stage were the only ones who succeeded outside of the Emperor of Heaven.
"Okay." Ye Yi nodded helplessly. There was no choice. Fate was playing tricks on him. He had finally found a way to return home, but it was difficult to set off. The word "star" had blocked him at the starting point.
"Headmaster! I want to ask, at what stage can you achieve tearing the starry sky and traveling through the universe?" Ye Yi suddenly asked. At least he wanted to have a rough idea.
"Tearing the starry sky?" Guo Zhubiantian was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "This is the method of the demigod! Only a few people in the world can do it."
"Isn't it rare? The world is so big. There should be a group of demigods in the fantasy world, right?" Ye Yi was stunned. After hearing Guo Zhubiantian say this, he felt a bit disheartened.
"There are many." Guo Zhubiantian was silent for a while, then sighed. "A thousand years ago, the fantasy world indeed had many demigods. Although they were not everywhere, nor were there so few that there were only a few. But due to a major upheaval that occurred at that time, I don't know exactly what it was. Almost all cultivators above the demigod level were summoned, and the demigods all disappeared after that summons. Their lives and deaths were known by only five people."
"There's something like this... " Ye Yi was silent. "Now where can I find the remaining demigods?"
"Fantasy God City!"
Guo Zhubiantian sighed. Now they were in the northern part of the fantasy world. The fantasy world was like a large area of land, divided into four zones: east, west, south, and north. The fantasy God City that Guo Zhubiantian mentioned was the central city of the fantasy world, spanning four zones, and almost all the strongest beings in the fantasy world were in that area.
"Was that the center area of the fantasy world at that time?" Ye Yi also heard about that city from Mu Tianlao.
"Mostly yes. Perhaps there were a few who lived in seclusion in the desolate areas, but since it was seclusion, it was difficult to find them." Guo Zhubiantian patiently answered Ye Yi's questions.
Ye Yi was silent. Demigods, only at that level did he have the strength to return home. What was that level? The strongest beings in the fantasy world were among the top two or three. And he was a cultivator who couldn't even gather energy. That meant he wasn't even a cultivator yet, let alone split the universe. The path back home was so far away for him.
He couldn't help but sigh sadly, "Can I have some quiet time?"
Everyone left. He really needed a quiet space.
"Qin Yu, are you okay?" Ye Yi muttered to himself. He couldn't help recalling the little things from the past, the small troubles, and even remembered the Bai Haoran who wanted to harm him. The world was so strange to him. There were no relatives. Thinking of going back was painful for him.
"Why!!!" He shouted. No one disturbed him. Perhaps more people thought he was immersed in the pain of failure.
Blindly, he fell into a coma again.
"Ye Yi, where are you! I miss you so much! Where are you!" A girl shouted loudly, running around.
"That's Yu Xue." Ye Yi gradually came to consciousness from his daze.
"Yu Xue, is that you! Yu Xue!" He shouted weakly, but the girl in front of him seemed not to see him. She passed by him and went through his body. He couldn't touch the person in front of him.
"Woah!! Why!!" He shouted loudly, but it was of no use. The person in front of him seemed like a mirage, out of reach.
"Child, where did you go! Ye Yi! Where are you!" Another shout came, and Ye Yi turned his head. Were those not his parents! They were looking for him, in great pain!
"Father! Mother!! I'm here, can't you see me!!" Ye Yi cried loudly, he had finally been admitted to university and was about to start working to support his parents, but in the end, he was brought here by the illusionary phenomenon, his parents couldn't be supported, there was no home to return to. How much pain was this! Thinking that his parents were growing old and even dying while he couldn't see them, his heart was bleeding.
"Why! Why!!" He cried out in a heart-wrenching way, but still couldn't change the fact.
"To go back, there is only the way of cultivation!" At this moment, another voice sounded, cold and indifferent.
"You are!" Ye Yi looked at the blurry figure in front of him.
"I am you! I can feel everything about you! Pain won't let you go back, only by taking the path of cultivation, breaking through all realms, can you return to the side of your family!" That figure said firmly.
"Cultivation, break through all realms, return home." Ye Yi kept repeating this sentence. ....
....
"Xie Yi! Xie Yi!" Bo Ba kept calling his name in the room.
"Grandpa Mu Tian, is Xie Yi okay?" He asked the elderly Mu Tian who was examining Xie Yi's pulse nearby.
"Nothing serious. He just had an unstable mood which led to a coma!" The elderly Mu Tian stroked his beard and said.
"I... What happened?" Xie Yi's voice came slowly.
He only remembered having a dream. When he woke up, he saw Bo Ba and the elderly Mu Tian beside him.
"You said you wanted to be quiet. After we left, we heard a loud cry and then there was no movement for a long time. Bo Ba didn't trust you and came in to see and found you had fainted." The elderly Mu Tian explained slowly.
"Well, sorry, I'm too tired. Sanbao has troubled you again." Ye Yi felt a bit touched in his heart. On Earth, he had many classmates, but they were just classmates. Their only goal was the college entrance examination. They would never visit each other because of someone being ill. Unless it was a very close friend, but he didn't have any such friends. Except for Xiaoyu, no other classmates cared about him like this. But when he came to the fantasy world, he saw such a good friend.
"Hey, brothers, don't be so formal. I'm still waiting for you to treat me to a drink!" Sanbao laughed.
"Okay! I'll have a big drink with you when I'm better!" Ye Yi agreed readily.
Unconsciously, the night deepened again. Sanbao went back, and Master Mu Tian also went back. The bedroom was left with Ye Yi alone, but he couldn't sleep. The experience of being in a coma made him think a lot. He went back to the same place, a small stream, a grassland, and a starry sky. Ye Yi lay under the starry sky, looking at the vast and boundless stars.
"Are you all looking at the stars?" he said to himself. He remembered his family. Unconsciously, he had been here for over a month. Although his thoughts and emotions weren't as fluctuating as before, they still existed.
"Looking at the stars!" At this moment, a soft voice came, and in the moonlight, a graceful figure walked over.
"Fang'er, it's you!" Ye Yi recognized the person.
"You really like looking at the stars here!" Fang'er said.
"Okay! I'll have a big drink with you when I'm better!" Ye Yi agreed readily.
Unconsciously, the night deepened again. Sanbao went back, and Master Mu Tian also went back. The bedroom was left with Ye Yi alone, but he couldn't sleep. The experience of being in a coma made him think a lot. He went back to the same place, a small stream, a grassland, and a starry sky. Ye Yi lay under the starry sky, looking at the vast and boundless stars.
"What do you think, does the moon's light have already surpassed the stars' light, but why can it make the stars shine together with it instead of monopolizing the sky alone?" Ye Yi looked at the moon and suddenly asked.
"Only a sky with one moon can be beautiful?" Fang'er replied.
Ye Yi was stunned. Yes, if the sky really only had one moon to dominate, would it be beautiful? When stars and the moon appeared together, it was the prosperity of the starry sky.
"If monks could live peacefully like the stars and the moon, then the fantasy world might become even more beautiful!" Fang'er sighed. She had already grown tired of the power struggle in the fantasy world.
This must be the innocent fantasy of a young girl! Ye Yi shook his head, but then he was stunned again. He thought of that sentence.
Why become enlightened!
"Enlightenment, only to protect!" Ye Yi kept repeating this sentence. Standing under the starry sky, he closed his eyes and thought deeply.
"Ye Yi! What's wrong with you!" The girl Fang'er saw Ye Yi muttering to himself and thought he was like before, not recovered.
"Nothing's wrong with him." When Fang'er was about to hold Ye Yi, a voice came. Suddenly turning around, Guo Zixin was walking towards them.
"Miss Xing'er!" Fang'er immediately stopped. She wasn't a monk, but it seemed that she quickly realized that Ye Yi might be in some kind of enlightenment state.
"He is contemplating his path!" Guo Zixin said. "If we disturb him at this time, it might not only fail but also disrupt his mind."
Fang'er hurriedly stepped back two steps. What would happen if she had touched him just now? She couldn't even think about it anymore.
"Thank Miss Xing'er for reminding me." Fang'er took a deep breath, the shock still hadn't subsided. "How could he suddenly enter this state!"
"Ah, monks will enter this kind of enlightenment state from time-to-time conversations and fights. Let's leave first!" Guo Zixin smiled.
Under the vast starry sky, Ye Yi stood alone. It seemed that the whole world had fallen silent, only he and the countless stars remained.
"Protect the peace of the stars and the moon!" He silently said.
Then his eyes opened again, shining with an unprecedented determination.
"Parents, I will definitely come back. And Xiaoyu, you wait for me!"
