The wisps of black mist dispersed, revealing a large pitch-black crack that was seven or eight zhang wide and over a hundred li long. It traversed through the Imperial City and was obviously left behind from a great battle.
Ye Fan entered the crack in the earth and directly went several hundred zhang underground. He came into contact with a large underground karst cave, and the aura here was even stronger.
He was apprehensive. Could it be that he had found the little darling as soon as he arrived here? He shook his head, but this kind of exuberant life energy couldn't be lacking.
There was a pond in the underground karst cave. Stalactites were everywhere, like snails and giant bamboo shoots. Water continuously dripped down, and the sound came from the darkness and emptiness, making it all the more quiet.
Yan Yixi and Li Tian also followed, walking behind Ye Fan. They were a bit suspicious because they didn't sense anything special.
"Here!"
In a puddle, there was a sparkling and translucent crystal stone. It was like a diamond, flickering with beautiful radiance. Beside it, there was a jade jar that had shattered, and the crystal seemed to have rolled out from within.
Ye Fan picked up the sparkling granule. It was extremely translucent and gave off seven-colored light. The aura of life assaulted his senses, and there was the little darling's aura.
"It's not that little seven-colored stone. Its shape seems to be condensed from a teardrop." He was extremely astonished. Could it be that the little fellow's teardrop could also turn into this kind of crystal?
Yan Yixi and Li Tian were both astonished. They didn't sense anything even when they approached. They really didn't know how Ye Fan could find clues from so far away.
Li Tian received it and said, "When I touched it with my finger, I felt an incredible divine might, as if there was immortal energy pouring into my body!"
Yan Yixi was also astonished. Why couldn't they sense it from a distance and could only sense it through contact? He was extremely puzzled.
"It must be because the little darling gave me the little seven-colored stone back then, and I absorbed the seven-colored multicolored light inside," Ye Fan said, giving this kind of explanation.
At the same time, he revealed a hint of joy. It was difficult for others to find the little darling, but he could rely on this to sense it. This was not a small advantage.
Of course, compared to the vastness of the earth, this kind of advantage made people feel helpless. The vastness of the land was truly a headache, like finding a needle in a haystack.
And this was a really big problem! In the following half a month, Ye Fan and the others crossed the straits and appeared on several continents, searching for clues about Little Nan Nan.
Unfortunately, not even a trace of it could be found.
Decades had passed, and the major forces of the Ziwei Segmentum had no results. It was unrealistic for them to find him as soon as they arrived.
"What should we do?"
"The Human King Palace, the Netherridge Longevity Monastery, the Moon Palace, and the other major factions have been searching for decades. Perhaps they have found something. I have to pay them a visit," Ye Fan muttered to himself.
He had no other choice but to collect the fruits of everyone's labor. Perhaps this would be the only way to break through some of the fog surrounding Little Nan Nan's tracks.
"That's true. After all, they've been searching for dozens of years. They definitely have more valuable information than us." Yan Yixi nodded.
From that day onwards, a mysterious figure appeared in the Divine Prefecture, Luzhou, and He Prefecture. He turned to the powerhouses of the major sects and struck them with their clubs, but he did not take their lives.
This was naturally Ye Fan. He had secretly taken down dozens of people, and they were all elites of the major sects. He had searched their consciousness for everything related to Little Nan Nan.
In the end, the more he looked, the uglier his expression became. These people treated Little Nan Nan as an immortal medicine. All of them wanted to throw her into the cauldron and refine her into a furnace of immortal pills.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that, from what they knew, no one had succeeded yet.
"It's time to make a move against the most crucial major faction. After all, they are the masterminds," Li Tian said.
Decades ago, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty had turned into ashes. The main culprit was that major faction that had descended from the outer realms. Now, it could be said that they had replaced it and become the strongest faction on this planet.
After so many years, they had expanded rapidly. Many independent cultivators had joined them, and they seemed to be stabilizing the world. They had the domineering aura of swallowing the ancient continents.
If this continued, it would not be strange for them to unify the Ziwei Segmentum!
However, the higher-ups of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty had always been mysterious and shrouded in a layer of fog. Even powerful factions like the Longevity Temple and Human King Hall didn't know everything.
The moonlight was gentle and beautiful, and not a single sound could be heard. A majestic city appeared on the horizon. This was Kun City, a place that caused all cultivators in the world to stop and feel deep reverence.
Decades ago, they were the ones who destroyed the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, causing an eternal faction that had existed for thousands of years to meet its end.
They were a leviathan, and today, who would dare to provoke them? Once the order was issued, no one dared to disobey. From their expansion, it seemed that they really wanted to control the entire Imperial Planet.
This caused the various major factions to be deeply worried. They regretted joining forces with them to destroy the Ziwei Divine Dynasty back then. This was equivalent to killing a tiger and attracting an evil dragon.
The moonlight was like water. The majestic city stood tall on the ground like an ancient ferocious beast in hibernation. Although its malevolence was restrained, it still exuded a terrifying aura.
Ye Fan came alone. He stepped on the moonlight and entered the majestic city. He directly went to the inner part of the imperial city and was obstructed by a heaven-shaking grand formation.
He didn't barge in forcefully. After observing for a period of time, he couldn't help but be shocked. There was actually emperor's might here, and there was a killing formation set up by the Quasi-emperor.
At this moment, Ye Fan's eyes instantly turned cold. He placed this Divine Dynasty in the most dangerous category. This wasn't a simple major faction, and its origins weren't simple at all.
He carefully sensed it, but he wasn't sure if the Quasi-emperor was here. However, he could sense a trace of dark clouds from the formation here. No matter what, the ruler behind it was extremely terrifying.
Ye Fan didn't want to alert the enemy. He didn't want to start a war in this place.
After waiting for a long time, an expert appeared in the imperial city. As for the guards before him, he felt disdain to act. This person was a half-Sage. To him, this person wasn't considered much. But in this mortal world, this person was already considered very strong.
Ye Fan transformed into a beam of divine light and swooped down, carrying this person away. It could be said that he didn't waste the slightest effort. No one noticed him at all.
In the wilderness, Ye Fan searched his sea of consciousness, observing the origins of this great sect.
After a moment, his heart trembled. This sect really had a great background. In the depths of the starry skies, there was a ruler whose cultivation was unknown. He didn't know where he came from, but he sent down a decree and ordered his disciples to move out. He wanted to unify the Ziwei Ancient Region.
They wanted to build a Celestial Court!
In the end, Ye Fan obtained this information. How could he not be shocked? How bold was this person?
This wasn't establishing a sect on an ancient planet, but putting it into action. They wanted to conquer one region after another, building such a huge system and recreating the glory of the Legendary Era.
"Truly amazing!" Li Tian and Yan Yixi walked out from the mountain ridge. After seeing this person's immortal foundation, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"To build a Celestial Court that can rule over ten thousand regions, this person should be Quasi-emperor at the very least, right? Who in the current human race can rival him? Perhaps only Old Man Gai can do this, "Li Tian said.
"Just a disciple, but he almost wants to unify the Ziwei Ancient Region. The leader behind him must be extremely terrifying. Otherwise, why would he dare to do this?" Yan Yixi sighed.
After Ye Fan erased the relevant memories from this person's head, he sent it back. He frowned. He had tried all kinds of methods, but it was all to no avail.
"Maybe it's time to ask some old friends to take action," Yan Yixi said.
"To that special sect?" Li Tian asked.
"Yes!" Ye Fan naturally also thought of this. Now, he needed to seek help from the Heavenly Secrets Sect.
Back then, when they left, Ancestor Heavenly Secrets was about to pass away. He saw a corner of the future and sent out two prophecies, which could be considered accurate.
Li Tian and Yan Yixi had the Heavenly Secrets Command Talisman. According to the ancestor's agreement, Heavenly Secrets Valley had to divine for them four times. Now, there were still two left.
Back then, Ancestor Heavenly Secrets had said that they could come back after twenty years.
After Ye Fan and the others left, they were hundreds of millions of miles away from this place. They didn't know the coordinates of the way back, so they never thought they would come back. They had no intention of entering this sect again.
Who knew that after more than a hundred years, they would have a request again. The affairs of the world were unexpected.
Taiyuan was located in the west of the Central Plains. It was a huge deep valley that didn't see the light of day all year round. It was extremely dark. The secluded Heavenly Secrets Sect of the ancient secluded path closed its doors here. It was rare to see them in the world.
All of this was because they could divine the heavenly secrets and were cursed by the heavens. They had no choice but to hide from the world.
This sect was envied by the heavens. Although they had amazing divine arts, it was difficult for them to flourish. Throughout the generations, they only had a few disciples and were a secluded ancient sect.
When Ye Fan and the others went deep underground, they were stunned. The Heavenly Secrets Sect had been razed to the ground, and there was debris everywhere. It had been completely destroyed.
This was like a bucket of cold water being poured on their heads, making them shiver all over. Coming here was the most effective shortcut. They might be able to find some clues about the little girl, but they didn't expect it to be directly destroyed.
"Who destroyed it?" Li Tian gritted his teeth.
"It was the divine dynasty that descended from the outer realms," Yan Yixi said. They found a terrifying hole left by a battle spear here, and it was similar to the one in Ziwei Imperial City.
Obviously, this powerful force that wanted to build the Ancient Heaven also wanted to use the prophecy of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, but in the end, they destroyed this place.
Ye Fan was disappointed and left this place. He felt that it would really take a long time to find the little girl.
However, things often exceeded people's expectations. They searched in the Divine Prefecture in the east, and after half a month, they saw a Daoist child who took the initiative to greet them.
"Little Daoist, who are you?"
"I am from the Heavenly Secrets Sect, and I am here to deliver two pages of talisman paper to you," the little Daoist child said.
"The Heavenly Secrets Sect avoided that disaster?" Li Tian was surprised and at the same time shocked. This branch was really amazing to be able to find them.
"After avoiding the disaster of the past, we are living in seclusion in the short mountain up ahead. Another patriarch is about to pass away. There is still one day left, and I happened to see you here to think about your last matters in the mortal world." The little Daoist child showed a hint of sadness.
In the distance, another middle-aged Daoist walked over. His black beard fluttered in the wind, and he looked like an immortal. Upon closer inspection, he looked somewhat familiar. It was the little Daoist child from more than a hundred years ago, and now, he had become the successor of the sect.
"Another patriarch is about to pass away, fulfilling his last wish. Our sect will completely hide from the world until the greatest change in the past ten thousand years is over!" The middle-aged Daoist child had a sorrowful expression.
Back then, he witnessed a patriarch die because of the jealousy of the heavens, and now, another patriarch. This was a bad luck that they could not escape.
"My condolences."
Ye Fan and the others didn't know how to comfort him, so they bowed silently and gave him some of the divine liquid of the Ancient Celestial Being.
"The patriarch doesn't dare to calculate what you are looking for. Once he burns it, not to mention him, even the Heavenly Secrets Sect's eternal inheritance will be completely annihilated. I only have a vague feeling that if you all head northwest, you will obtain something in this mortal world, "the middle-aged Daoist said sorrowfully.
In the end, both sides bowed to each other and parted ways. From then on, the Heavenly Secrets Sect would no longer exist in this world for tens of thousands of years!
In the bitter and cold northwest, a small figure was currently moving forward alone. His small clothes had long since become tattered beyond recognition …
