Ye Han sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Cabin of the Black Flying Boat. After spending so many years learning about the Chaos Immortal Cave, he and Fairy Xuhua had finally found a way to set up a formation that resisted teleportation within the chaos space, preventing them from being sent elsewhere.
This finally allowed them to cultivate in peace. Yet Ye Han did not cultivate. Instead, he helped Fairy Xuhua refine the flesh and physical body of the Lotus Divine Horse Divine Beast. It took more than three hundred years before he finally finished helping her refine it.
The reason Ye Han spared no expense, pouring so much effort and spell power into refining the Lotus Divine Horse Divine Beast's flesh and physical body, was that refining the divine beast's body benefited more than just Fairy Xuhua. It also greatly helped him control the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron and accelerate its fusion.
Otherwise, why would Ye Han have played the sucker, consuming so many pills and so much spell power, and even sacrificing so much of his True Immortal cultivation to help Fairy Xuhua?
It was all because of the Purple Hair Man's Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, which he had devoured back then. Although its fusion had continued to progress, after he entered the Chaos Immortal Cave, the powers of the two cauldrons had reached a stalemate, causing the fusion to grow steadily slower.
Ye Han had originally estimated that the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron would fully fuse and become even stronger in a few thousand years. But with this development, it might take ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years. Other unforeseen complications might even arise, such as the two cauldrons joining forces to turn on their master.
This also made Ye Han understand why Fairy Xuhua had been so certain he would comply
