Chapter 550: Chapter 549: Fusion of Divine Steel

Ye Fan found it rather amusing and couldn’t help but smile at Ye Tiannan. "Father, just let the cultivation process take its natural course."

"Fan, stop trying to comfort him. His cultivation isn’t progressing, and he’s not getting anything done. This is unbearable!" Mrs. Jiang immediately scolded.

Ye Tiannan felt incredibly aggrieved. He wanted to erupt in anger, but he knew he was no longer a match for Mrs. Jiang and currently had no grounds for rebuttal.

Ye Fan greatly admired his formidable mother. Of course, he knew she was only joking.

At that moment, Ye Qingshan, who had been sitting silently with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. "Alright, both of you, that’s enough."

"Ye Fan, are you planning to leave?"

"Grandfather, how did you know?"

Ye Fan was surprised that his grandfather had seen through his intentions.

Ye Qingshan explained, "I have been keeping an eye on the entire Spirit Suppressing Domain. I knew that your return this time was really to say farewell."

Both Ye Tiannan and Mrs. Jiang were reluctant to see Ye Fan go.

But Ye Qingshan said, "I support you. After all, you’re not a child anymore. There are some things you must consider for yourself, and some responsibilities that no one can bear for you."

"Go on. We’ll be here in the Secular World."

"We’ll take care of your women for you."

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Ye Fan’s eyes brimmed with tears.

"You silly child, we’re family. There’s no need for thanks. You should, however, go and say your goodbyes to them," Mrs. Jiang said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan choked back his emotions and nodded.

He didn’t plan on letting the Ye Family go to the Spirit Suppressing Domain yet. To that end, he had already spoken with the five Egyptian Pharaohs. They would definitely be on their best behavior and wouldn’t dare to disturb the Ye Family.

After the family had talked for some time, Ye Fan brought out a large pile of spiritual materials. "I prepared these for you. They’re enough to help you break through to the Reincarnation Realm! I will return. I don’t know how long it will be, but by then, I will have become a god. I will lead the Ye Family to the greatest heights!"

Ye Fan declared his words with conviction.

The members of the Ye Family nodded immediately, believing he could achieve it.

After staying with the Ye Family for one night, Ye Fan gathered all of his women the next day.

Among them were Shangguan Qiuyue, Fang Nan, Qin Yanran, Tang Yurou, Luo Ling, Chen Zihan, and Wu Shiyin.

These women were all cultivating. Although they were only at the Emperor Level, their strength was bound to advance by leaps and bounds with Ye Fan’s help.

Ye Fan bade them farewell. Each woman was reluctant to see him leave, but they understood that this world could no longer hold him. They also knew that no matter where he went, he would never forget them.

Therefore, they all supported him, more than willing to wait in the mortal world for the day he would return by breaking through the void.

As for his other women, Ye Fan didn’t summon them. He knew they were already following closely in his footsteps, so there was simply no need for them to come.

Perhaps, one day in the Divine Domain, I might even meet them there.

To Ye Fan’s delight, Yaoyao, nurtured by the Witch Clan, had reached the Supreme Level at a young age. Her rate of growth surpassed even his own. He knew that in the future Divine Domain, Yaoyao’s brilliance might overshadow his. After all, her innate talent was so immense that not even the Ancient Witch King could compare.

However, the little girl was still slumbering in the Holy Land of the Witch Clan, and Ye Fan chose not to disturb her.

Ye Fan spent a full ten days with these women. Ten days later, with his family and loved ones watching, he departed for the Spirit Suppressing Domain.

No one knew how long it would be until they met again, but they believed that as long as their hearts remained connected, they would one day be reunited. That would be a time when all troubles were cast aside, a time to be together forever.

Ye Fan also firmly believed that such a day would come. Once he eradicated the Divine Domain, the world would no longer need his contributions.

Upon arriving in the Spirit Suppressing Domain, Ye Fan felt a profound sense of loss, likely from having to leave his women. After being together for so long, suddenly facing such a long separation would be hard for anyone to bear.

The Grassland Bear slept in his arms like a cuddly pet.

Ye Fan had initially planned to take the Grassland Bear to the Divine Domain, but after some thought, he decided to wait and bring it with him on his next return. High-level Spiritual Beasts were different from Martial Artists. The Spiritual Energy within them was sufficient to fuel their breakthroughs, so the Grassland Bear’s location didn’t matter. It would break through when it was time.

Moreover, the Grassland Bear’s authority was now immense. It could move freely between the Spirit Suppressing Domain and the Secular World—a privilege that not even Zhuang Zhou and the others possessed. Without a doubt, it was the spiritual beast with the most authority in the entire Spirit Suppressing Domain. It was also Ye Fan’s secret trump card for protecting his family. The Grassland Bear’s combat strength, honed through countless transformations, was beyond question.

Its strength was now on par with a Spirit King, and no one in the entire Spirit Suppressing Domain could subdue it.

During these few days in the Spirit Suppressing Domain, Ye Fan was extremely busy forging his own Godhead, a crucial step. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The materials for forging a Godhead were quite particular. Unlike Spiritual Artifacts, which required hard and sturdy materials, a Godhead had to be integrated into the body. Therefore, the materials needed to be soft and free of impurities. Of course, the better the materials, the higher the quality of the resulting Godhead.

In the Secular World, materials for forging a Godhead were scarce. For now, he could only create a simple one to get by. Later, when he reached the Divine Domain and found higher-quality materials, he would gradually upgrade his Godhead. This was his plan.

He had prepared just over ten types of materials. These were not ordinary and had taken great effort to find. Of course, from the perspective of the Divine Domain, they were the lowest grade of materials. For the time being, however, even these materials would suffice.

This was because he possessed one top-tier material: the peerless Divine Steel gifted to him by the Ancestor of Tianyuan.

Finally, after three days and three nights of relentless refinement, he had forged his own Godhead, integrating the peerless Divine Steel into it.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted Godhead, Ye Fan still felt something was missing.

This Godhead is too lifeless. Since it’s a Godhead, it must have some spirit.

With this thought, he sliced himself open and fused his Ancestor Realm Bloodline into it.

Instantly, the Godhead began to shimmer with a vibrant, flowing light.

Then, Ye Fan began the process of merging with the Godhead.

It was, without a doubt, a difficult and painful process, with pain comparable to being flayed and having your tendons ripped out. When he first attempted the fusion, his entire body trembled as cold sweat poured from him.

By the second day, Ye Fan had gradually adapted to the pain and pushed the integration deeper, only for the pain to intensify. He fainted from the agony several times.

Most of the materials were gentle, but one was incredibly domineering: the peerless Divine Steel.

Under the oppressive power of the peerless Divine Steel, merging with the Godhead was undoubtedly an agonizing ordeal.
