A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

At the pinnacle of Celestial Road, as Sky Gate gradually opened, more light orbs flowed out.

After Ye Fan realized the healing properties of light orbs, he proceeded forward again, aiming to absorb as much energy as possible from them.

Ye Fan's previously exhausted body began to recover.

The strength throughout his body was also growing.

It was hard to tell how much time had passed, but under the infusion of the light orbs, Ye Fan's previous exhaustion had mostly faded.

Once Ye Fan had regained his strength, he stood up to find that the area beneath Mount Kransbay had nearly turned into a sea of light.

The light orbs, like stars, were slowly moving between Mount Kransbay.

Indeed, it was just like a river.

The vegetation along the path of the light orbs was actually growing wildly due to their nourishment.

Who could've thought that Mount Kransbay, once known as the forbidden zone of life, had, in the blink of an eye, become a paradise on Earth? It had transformed into a place filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.

The fragrance of various plants and flowers wafted for kilometers.

The aura it contained was so potent that taking in a single breath of it would feel refreshing.

The people below the mountain, including Ye Qingtian, were undoubtedly completely stunned by the scene before them.

"Oh heavens!"

"This.. This.."

"What on earth is this?"

Aaron and the others were shocked and trembling.

At one point, they felt as though they were in a magical realm at that very moment.

After all, it was astonishing how many flowers and plants managed to grow on that sheer cliff.

Moreover, those plants and flowers were by no means common roadside weeds. Instead, they were similar to the spirit fruits that Ye Fan had obtained in Boguia Rainforest. The spiritual energy within was incredibly dense and rich.

Moreover, it seemed to have healing properties.

King of Fighters and Sword Saint, who were both previously controlled by Symborsus, had regained consciousness.

After all, Symborsus was defeated by Ye Fan.

Its soul suffered a heavy blow, so, naturally, it no longer had the power to control people like King of Fighters.

After regaining consciousness, the supreme grandmasters instinctively picked the flowers and grass beneath their feet, placing them in their mouths for a light taste.

At that moment, they felt a surge of warm and cool spiritual energy entering their bodies and nurturing their muscles.

"This is a divine herb. It actually has healing properties!" Someone cried out in a trembling voice a few times. Afterward, Ye Qingtian and the others all tried plucking and swallowing a few leaves. Indeed, those were divine herbs, and they had greatly healed their wounded bodies. While everyone was filled with joy and surprise, they couldn't help but feel puzzled. They wondered if the secret behind Sky Gate was those light orbs.

The same doubt naturally arose in Ye Fan's heart as well.

He tentatively made his way toward Sky Gate.

However, just as he was about to cross over, he felt a barrier blocking the doorway.

The situation made it extremely difficult for Ye Fan to make any progress.

Ye Fan immediately furrowed his brows. It seems that this so-called Sky Gate only allows for exiting, not entering.

After confirming that, Ye Fan shifted his gaze to the light orbs.

Could it be that the secret to becoming a saint lies in these light orbs? By refining and absorbing the energy from these light orbs, will I be able to attain sainthood? Ye Fan was quietly speculating. As Ye Fan was lost in his thought, a seed-like object was mixed among the golden light orbs, falling from Celestial Road.

And so, it descended onto the vast land below.

The moment the seed fell, the light orbs, as if summoned, madly rushed toward the location of the seed, pouring into it.

Ye Fan watched as the seed on the ground took root, sprouted, and quickly grew stems and leaves.

After sprouting, the mysterious plant did not cease to absorb the light orbs.

Instead, it greedily devoured the golden light orbs around it.

Although, the growth rate of the plant had clearly slowed down.

That bizarre scene left Ye Fan greatly astonished.

At the pinnacle of Celestial Road, he studied Sky Gate again.

However, there was still no special discovery.

Aside from the endless stream of light orbs, and the mysterious seeds that had fallen earlier, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

At last, the first ray of morning light emerged from the east.

Dawn had arrived.

After a night of hustle and bustle, Mount Kransbay finally welcomed the break of dawn.

And at the same time, the Celestial Road gradually faded away.

Ye Fan knew it was time for him to step down.

At present, after absorbing a considerable amount of light orbs, Ye Fan felt his physical strength had been restored.

And so, he leapt straight off the peak of Celestial Road.

He stood atop Mount Kransbay, quietly watching as Celestial Road gradually disappeared, bit by bit.

While he had assumed that Sky Gate would vanish just like those steps, it didn't.

Sky Gate stood as if it was everlasting.

The light orbs continued to stream ceaselessly from that door.

"Dragon Master!" After a night of frantic running, Gaius, one of the Dragon Gods, clad in oversized shorts, appeared on the eve of dawn. "Dragon Master, are you okay? My apologies for my late arrival to your aid. Please, punish me as you see fit!"

Gaius knelt on the ground, paying his respects to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan glanced at Gaius and said, "Get up. The fact that you made it here shows you care. Besides, the battle here is simply not something you lot can participate in."

From the very beginning, Ye Fan had never considered involving his subordinates from Dragon God Hall.

After all, their abilities were limited and they weren't that useful to him by that point.

"Dragon Master, have you ascended to sainthood? Will you become a saint in the future?" After getting up, Gaius looked at Ye Fan with eyes full of reverence and curiosity.

He wanted to see just how much of a difference there really was between saints and mortals.

Ye Fan glanced at him. "You're overthinking it. I'm still me. Nothing has changed."

"This... This shouldn't be happening." Gaius was completely taken aback.

As the saying went, hard work would pay off, and if a mortal managed to open Sky Gate, they should become a saint.

If that wasn't the case, then Ye Fan ascended Celestial Road for nothing.

Gaius was quite speechless.

Ye Fan pointed down and said, "Take a look for yourself. This is what lies behind Sky Gate."

Gaius followed Ye Fan's gaze and saw those golden light orbs beneath Mount Kransbay flowing like a river and sea.

At the very heart of the river, there was a plant wildly devouring those light orbs.

"Dragon Master, what... What is that? Is it edible?" Gaius couldn't help but tremble.

Ye Fan shook his head, "You can go ahead and give it a try."

After finished speaking, Ye Fan didn't pay any more attention to Gaius.

He turned around, walked ahead, and picked up Eigetsu, who was in eternal sleep. He was ready to leave.

"Gaius, you stay here first, and assess the situation."

Then, he left, cradling Moon God in his arms.

After Ye Fan left, Ye Qingtian, Aaron, and the others also hurried over one after another.

"Gaius, how's it going? What did your Dragon Master say?" These once half-crippled masters were, at that moment, all lively and bouncing around.

One by one, they all curiously asked Gaius similar questions.

After all, everyone was curious about what Ye Fan had obtained after he opened Sky Gate.

After a moment of thought, Gaius replied proudly, "Dragon Master has spoken. From this day forward, he is a saint."

Upon hearing those words, everyone trembled in fear and shock.

"You're saying your Dragon Master really has become a saint?"

Everyone present was undoubtedly taken aback.

Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of impending danger.

After all, everyone had betrayed Ye Fan before.

So now that Ye Fan has truly become an immortal, doesn't that mean he could obliterate them with a mere flick of his hand?
