Ye Fan was forced to cultivate now, so as to suppress the fires of the Dao Fruit that was burning into his inner spiritual sea.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi merely watched as he closed his eyes to meditate and she did not dare to disturb him.
There were many times that she had wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead but she resisted the temptations to do so.
Right now, Ye Fan was amalgamating the Dao Fruit into his inner spiritual sea which was his cultivation core.
If he could successful amalgamated it then he may gain a powerful Heavenly Dao as his cultivation concept to aid him in his future cultivation.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi knows that Ye Fan was most unwilling to swallow the Dao Fruit and he was only in this place to try his luck to obtain one.
He had succeeded with sheer luck in finding one but before he could give it to Fairy Xuan Xueqi, she had forced him to swallow it.
The Dao Fruit was actually not large and it was only the size of a big nut so it was easy for her to force him to swallow it.
Forcing wasn't the word to use; she did not even give him the choice and had attacked him before forcing it down into his throat.
She said silently: Ye Fan, this is for your own good. I don't need it. I should have died a long time ago. Or rather, I should have left a long time ago. Thanks to you, I managed to obtain my Nightingale Grass and that is better than any Dao Fruit. You have already done a lot for me for this and also for all the things that you have ever done for me all these years.
Then she began to heave a soft sigh as she continued to say silently: Over the years, I've grown attached to you and Little Xuefeng. How can I bear to leave you. What will you think of me if you know that all of years of efforts are all in vain?
She continued silently: Ye Fan, I love you. I really do.
After that, she quietly waited for Ye Fan and prayed to the Great Beyond Goddess, the Great Goddess Fantian and the Great God Pangu for his success.
It was not easy for Ye Fan to absorb the Dao Fruit as he was only a half-step golden celestial.
But Ye Fan had a firm resolute as he calmly overcome his cultivation blocks slowly but surely.
It actually took him one full day and night before he finally opened his golden eyes.
When he opened his eyes, Fairy Xuan Xueqi gasped as she said to him. "Ye Fan, your eyes are fully golden now! You are fully a golden celestial now!"
Ye Fan gasped and he quickly examined his cultivation core; he was delighted that he had really breakthrough to the initial 5th realm now.
He was not expecting to receive any breakthrough actually but absorbing the Dao Fruit had strengthened his cultivation core and even increased his profound strength further.
Fairy Xian Xueqi asked him curiously, "Did you gain any cultivation insight after taking the Dao Fruit?"
Ye Fan nodded, "When I was in meditation, I could feel the massive boundaries of the heavens descending upon me. This is suffocating and even scary. At first, I was worried that my cultivation realm may be too little and the Dao Fruit may be too overpowering for me. This is a superior grade Dao Fruit after all and it is even more potent than the average Dao Fruit…"
Then he said with a soft sigh as he looked affectionately at Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "I've thought that I might never see you again. But just thinking of you gives me renewed hope and strength…"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was startled when Ye Fan had suddenly said that to her as she muttered, "Ye Fan…"
Ye Fan smiled tenderly to her, "But I'm alright now."
Then he said, "As for my insight… I saw the multitudes of the Heavenly Dao that are crushing upon me. It is definitely more than the 3000 Heavenly Greater Dao that we are familiar with and countless number of Lesser Greater Dao that are crushing upon me…"
"These Heaven Dao are all the concepts and laws of the universe. Just grabbing anyone of them may be useful to me but at that time, these Heavenly Dao are a crushing weight to me and I feel that I am tearing apart…"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi slowly nodded and she did not dare to interrupt him; she could imagine how treacherous it was and Ye Fan had in fact survived this ordeal.
Now she felt very bad and guilty that she had forced Ye Fan to consume the Dao Fruit without any thought; she may have endangered his life by doing so and won't be helping him.
Her papa had told her that it was as easy as swallowing a nut and the Heavenly Dao may drop an inspiration when a cultivator is ready.
She didn't have any doubts on her papa as she had taken a Dao Fruit a long time ago but the grade was definitely not as good as the one that Ye Fan had just consumed.
Ye Fan continued slowly as he was painfully recalling his ordeal, "These Heavenly Dao aren't there for me to grab and then formed my cultivation concept with it…"
"After struggling to withstand the Heavenly Dao for a long time and at my brink, I had suddenly come to realize that these Heavenly Dao are the laws and concepts of the universe. No one can ever gain a mastery over them. Out of the infinity Heavenly Dao, there exist a dao for everyone. And if I choose the wrong one, I will die…"
Then Ye Fan looked at Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "At that moment, I have decided that I don't want to die because I still want to live because of my Xueqi. I want to protect my Xueqi. It was then that the immerse pressure over me had suddenly disappeared and a Greater Heavenly Dao seemed to have merged with me. That is the Heavenly Dao of Protecting my love. From there, I have visualized a heavenly sword of protection with the inspired concepts…"
He inhaled softly as he looked tenderly at Fairy Xuan Xueqi, "My dao is to always safeguard my Xueqi and from this, my great dao has been formed."
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was startled and at the same time she was greatly touched, "You formed your dao to safeguard me? Ye Fan, I don't deserve it. I may ruin your great dao in the future…"
Ye Fan interrupted her tenderly, "No, you won't. You are my dao and the love of my life."
Fairy Xuan Xueqi gently shook her head, "Don't be silly. It is very difficult for cultivators to have any children. You will need a harem and you will meet plenty of worthy maidens that can meet your expectations. I am not worthy of becoming your only dao…"
Ye Fan hugged Fairy Xuan Xueqi to interrupt her, "No, my Xueqi…"
All of a sudden, the whole place was shaking violently and it startled them.
It seemed like the entire place was collapsing.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi gasped softly, "Now that you have fully amalgamated the Dao Fruit, this mirage portal will soon cast us out. We will need to leave now."
Ye Fan nodded, "Alright. Let's go."
And he had grabbed Fairy Xuan Xueqi as they flashed toward the shimmering portal in front of them.
