Actually, Ye Tianfan didn't think too differently.
Because from the feel of it, the strength of this Heaven-Swallowing Python is really not enough to deal with Taichu Zhenren. Ye Tianfan even thinks that if he is careful enough, he could handle this creature from beyond the wall, which is this Heaven-Swallowing Python.
After all, this Heaven-Swallowing Python can act mighty within the wall, but outside, it's just a little brother. So, after coming outside the wall, it shouldn't be able to devour any creature from beyond the wall. It's likely that every creature the python encounters outside is stronger than it.
For it to have survived to this point, the time hasn't been easy, so its strength is not much higher than when it was inside.
Therefore, Ye Tianfan feels he can take on this creature from beyond the wall.
Besides, if it's about creatures from beyond the wall that can be fought, Ye Tianfan feels it's better for him to take the attack.
So this time, Ye Tianfan intends to attack this creature from beyond the wall himself, which is the Heaven-Swallowing Python.
Of course, Taichu Zhenren is there to guard.
Though Ye Tianfan wanting to battle the Heaven-Swallowing Python may seem a bit overreaching, among people of Ye Tianfan's level, apart from Ye Tianfan himself, no one else can battle by crossing levels. So if Ye Tianfan wants to use the Heaven-Swallowing Python for practice, it's definitely possible.
However, if Yun Tian and the others want to battle too, Taichu Zhenren will definitely stop them because their strength is nowhere near enough to fight the Heaven-Swallowing Python.
The difference in strength is too great, and although Yun Tian and the others also hold some cards, they don't have Ye Tianfan's level-breaking cards.
Thus, Ye Tianfan conveyed to Taichu Zhenren his desire to challenge.
After all, while the Heaven-Swallowing Python poses some threat to Ye Tianfan, it's not a threat he cannot resist.
Taichu Zhenren pondered after hearing Ye Tianfan's words. To be honest, there was much internal conflict within Taichu Zhenren. If Ye Tianfan fights the Heaven-Swallowing Python, there will definitely be danger, and quite significant danger at that.
Although Taichu Zhenren thinks this Heaven-Swallowing Python can be easily defeated, it's not that simple on Ye Tianfan's side.
Even Ye Tianfan's chance of winning is relatively small, so Taichu Zhenren believes it's better not to take this risk if possible. Even though Taichu Zhenren does think highly of Ye Tianfan, it doesn't mean allowing him to fight currently is wise, as creatures from beyond the wall are all dangerous, and being contaminated by them would lead to big trouble. Once they infect someone, almost all hopes of recovery are lost.
Although Ye Tianfan can quickly recover himself, because he holds the Chaos Treasure Lotus, it's still possible to fully recover, but it's not as simple as wanting to recover. Being infected by Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative energies would cause virtually permanent damage.
To avoid permanent injuries, one must surround those negative energies at the moment of infection to prevent spiritual power from permanent damage.
Ye Tianfan hasn't experienced such a situation, so Taichu Zhenren is not keen on letting Ye Tianfan take this risk.
Nevertheless, Taichu Zhenren also knows that young eagles must learn to fly. Always protecting Ye Tianfan is not an option, and Ye Tianfan must strive himself.
But suddenly letting Ye Tianfan face a creature beyond the wall, which could likely kill him, is too risky, so Taichu Zhenren doesn't favor letting Ye Tianfan take this risk. If they encounter another creature outside the wall later matching Ye Tianfan's strength, not needing Ye Tianfan to speak, Taichu Zhenren will let him practice.
However, for now, it's too risky, so after much thought, Taichu Zhenren rejected Ye Tianfan's proposal.
But after rejecting Ye Tianfan's proposal, Taichu Zhenren explained the reasons, because geniuses like Ye Tianfan would ponder over things they don't understand and become fixated, leading to harmful thoughts which would significantly limit his cultivation.
Although Ye Tianfan felt a bit disappointed inside, he understood and nodded after hearing Taichu Zhenren's explanation. According to Ye Tianfan, he admits it's indeed too risky, but he is confident he can dispel those threats when the negative energies infect him.
Of course, even with Ye Tianfan's confidence, Taichu Zhenren wouldn't dare risk him, so in the end, the Heaven-Swallowing Python was left to be handled by an elder from another sect.
After all, for wall creatures of this strength, having another sect's sect leader deal with them would be lowering their status, even letting Taichu Sect's elders handle it would be lowering their status, so letting an elder from another sect resolve this creature is a good choice.
After all, not every incident requires Taichu Zhenren to act, while other sects have no chance to intervene. Now, they have a chance to act, so each sect wants to showcase themselves. However, after comprehensive consideration, it's more suitable for an elder from the Flower Fairy Sect, the Immortal Elder, to handle the Heaven-Swallowing Python. Both in terms of strength and cultivation, Immortal Elder is comparable to the Heaven-Swallowing Python, making him a suitable choice for the fight.
Ultimately, Ye Tianfan couldn't fight the Heaven-Swallowing Python and only watched the battle between Immortal Elder and the Heaven-Swallowing Python.
What surprised Ye Tianfan was that Immortal Elder was not as weak as he imagined, but rather very strong, not only in cultivation but also in his fighting style and experience, both formidable and letting Ye Tianfan broaden his horizons.
Ye Tianfan's mindset while watching the battle could be described with a few phrases: "It can be like this? It can also be this way? I've learned something new! This works too? I've gained new knowledge!"
