It was very likely that the Void Emperor had been to ancient China. This secret shocked Ye Fan and Pang Bo. They looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.
At this moment, a name appeared in their hearts at the same time — Yellow Emperor. This existence that was both human and god was born at the banks of Jishui. Was there some cause and effect?
However, after thinking for a while, they shook their heads and denied it. The time didn't match at all. Yellow Emperor was an ancient person from four thousand years ago, and the Void Emperor had passed away for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Elders, can you tell us in detail? We're all ears." Pang Bo went forward and grabbed an old arm to support him.
"Be gentle, it's falling apart." The old man from the Ji Clan grimaced. He didn't have the fortune to enjoy Pang Bo's arm that was three times thicker than an ordinary person's. He said, "I saw this in an ancient book in the Scripture Pavilion. The records aren't detailed and I've almost forgotten about it."
"This isn't the place to talk. Everyone, please come in." The Ji Clan's Holy Lord smiled. Ji Haoyue followed beside him and would officially take over in a few years.
The Ji Clan ruled over the southern region and looked down on the Eastern Wasteland. Few lineages could compare to them. They had once produced a human emperor and their foundation was incomparably strong.
Clouds and mist lingered around. All kinds of palaces were suspended in the air. Spiritual birds danced in the air and orchids floated in the air. It was like a fairyland. It was a magnificent scene.
Pure lands rose and fell one after another, suspended above the clouds. There were even more tens of thousands of zhang tall mountains towering, and great white waterfalls cascaded down. It was incomparably majestic.
"Roar …"
A loud roar came from afar. A black mountain towered in the clouds and a black flood dragon as thick as a mountain was tied to it.
The group was quite shocked. A clan that had produced a great emperor was indeed different. That flood dragon was majestic and had a pure bloodline. Its roar was accompanied by the cries of the Dao and its realm was unfathomable.
Ji Ziyue said, "That is the Holy Region and is connected to a small world. The black dragon guards that place and can't move half a step away. It can only live in front of the Black Dragon Swamp. It's very pitiful. My brother and I used to accompany it when we were young."
It was obvious that this was a secret place that was of utmost importance to the Ji Family. Those who were not direct descendants would not be able to enter. Their foundation was indeed unfathomable.
On the way, Ye Fan met a familiar person, it was Ji tribe's eighth elder, he was an elder with an illustrious status. Back then, he had stood on the side of Northern Plains' Wang tribe and made things difficult for him.
The two of them stared blankly at each other. The light in Ji Family's eighth elder's eyes flickered, and in the end, he sighed inwardly. He cupped his hands and left just like that. The present was different from the past. Northern Plains' Wang tribe had already been flattened by Ye Fan's cavalry, the situation was stronger than him, if he wanted to do anything, he would probably be killed by the Ji tribe themselves.
The central Void Heavenly Watchtower was grand and lofty, as if it was the Ancient Heaven. Red-Crowned cranes danced about, colorful luans cried out, circling above. Only the most esteemed guests could enter, yet now, it was wide open.
The Ji Family was very courteous. Ye Fan's battles had shaken the world and attracted everyone's attention. He had even severed the ancient emperor's bloodline, so how many people could stop him?
The Ji Family's elders had investigated in detail and learned of the relationship between Ji Haoyue and Ye Fan's group. Naturally, they wanted to pull Ye Fan into their camp.
In the past, a portion of people objected to Ji Ziyue and Ye Fan being too close, but now, almost all of them had changed their minds. If the Ji Family could have another great completion saint physique because of this, they would not have to worry for the next ten thousand years.
Before Ye Fan and Pang Bo could ask Ji Shui, a living fossil went straight to the point: "I heard that you came from the other side of the starry sky, is this true?"
Now, the mystery of Ye Fan's identity was no longer a secret. Many people already knew about it, so it was no big deal for him to ask like this.
"That's right." Ye Fan nodded and admitted.
"The starry sky is boundless, there are too many secrets. No wonder even the ancient emperors had to travel so far. There are many secrets in the universe that we don't know about." An old man sighed.
A graceful and beautiful maid walked into the palace and served tea. The fragrance of the tea filled the air — it was actually the Dao Comprehension Tea. This kind of divine tea was rarely served to people.
"I didn't expect to be able to taste this kind of divine tea so often." The Black Emperor stood up and stretched out a pair of huge claws, scaring the maids so much that they almost covered its face with the tray.
Not long later, an elder of the Ji Family personally went to fetch an ancient book and flipped through it with Pang Bo and Ye Fan. They wanted to find out about the mysterious place that the Void Monarch had been to.
"Oh, speaking of which, our Ji Family is not a native of the Northern Dipper Star Region. In fact, the ancient emperors seemed to have crossed over from the star region. Those who truly belong to this world might not exist," a living fossil said.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both surprised. Only the Black Emperor stretched out his huge head and shook it, "Ruthless and Emperor Wu Shi were born in this world. They came here to prove their dao."
"Maybe." The living fossil of the Ji Family smiled and didn't argue.
"Maybe, our race's emperor came from your world." The old man who flipped through the ancient book with Pang Bo said.
"Impossible, tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors were still living in places like Zhoukoudian and Yuanmou. How could there be cultivators?" Pang Bo shook his head.
Then, he was stunned again. How could he understand everything in this world with the thinking of Earth? He couldn't deny the theory of mysteries.
Since there were people like Laozi and the Qi Practitioners of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, then the ancient era might be different from what he knew. There might really have been a war of gods.
There were too many myths and legends on Earth, and some of them were related to this world. Some of them could even corroborate each other. Did they really exist?
"Found it, here …" Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the two old men carefully read the ancient book that was sealed with Dao patterns. It mentioned the Qi Practitioners and the ancient path of the starry sky.
However, there were just too few records, only a few key words. This was recorded when the imperial prince passed away in his later years, something he heard when he was young. As for what exactly the Void Great Emperor said, he couldn't remember it clearly, only having vague memories.
"It must be Earth!" Ye Fan and Pang Bo were stunned.
"And … the battle of the Celestial Court!" Even the Black Emperor was dumbfounded. He stared at the last word and was lost in thought.
The people of the Ji Family laughed. Many of the old antiques shook their heads and told them not to take it seriously. The emperor had heard it when he was young and it had long become blurry. It was only when he passed away that he muttered it to himself and it was remembered by the later generations. Some of them had already been confirmed. Many of them were stories that the Void Emperor had heard when he was young and they weren't true.
"The battle of the Celestial Court!" Ye Fan muttered to himself. His thoughts didn't waver because of them. There were definitely many unknown secrets on Earth that had disappeared in the river of time.
"There is also an incomplete map." At the end, they saw a map of mountains and rivers. There was a huge mountain carved on it, but there were no words.
"It looks like Mount Tai." Ye Fan and Pang Bo glanced at each other. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that it was similar.
"This is the mountain map that the emperor drew according to his blurry memories before he passed away."
Mount Tai was known as the number one mountain in the world. In ancient times, it was seen as the place where the sun was born and where all living things grew. There were historical records that stated that no mountain was greater than it and no history was greater than it!
"Laozi left Hangu Pass and rode on an ox. This is enough to prove that many of the legends are true." Pang Bo said.
"The laozi you are talking about is an old man riding a green ox." The Ji Family Master suddenly asked.
"Yes."
"I have seen him before." The Ji Family Master said.
"Pfft!"
Ye Fan and Pang Bo spat out the enlightenment tea in their mouths and revealed expressions of disbelief. They were truly shocked. The beautiful maids hurried over to clean up the mess.
"When I was young, I saw the elders welcoming such a person. They were extremely respectful …" The Ji Family Master said.
That was more than two thousand years ago. He was still young, so he could only watch from afar and couldn't say much. Later on, he learned that the guest was an unfathomable person who had come specifically for the Void Emperor's inheritance.
"Speaking of outsiders, there have been a few of them." A living fossil said.
If it was in the past, they wouldn't have spoken of these secrets. Now, Ye Fan was on par with them. Moreover, he himself came from the outer realm. That was why they had so many things to say and wanted to investigate.
Several ancient books were sent over. Unfortunately, they couldn't find any clues. They didn't know which ancient star region those people came from. They didn't seem to be related to earth, so it was difficult to find any clues.
"I really want to return to the other side of the starry sky. Ye, do you think we can dig out the fragments and remains of the Celestial Court?" Pang Bo asked.
"This … is really hard to say." Ye Fan rubbed his chin and pondered.
In the end, Ye Fan and the others asked the Ji Family where the Immortal Ascension Valley was. They were told that it was a very mysterious place in the great wastelands.
In the past, a Divine King of the Ji Family had entered the immortal palace outside the forbidden area of the Desolate Antiquity and obtained a fortune. In the end, he was sent to the Immortal Ascension Valley and only then did he know about that place.
"Ziyue, you can go with him. With me at home, you don't need to worry." When there was no one else around, Ji Haoyue said to his sister.
A living fossil of the Ji Family passed by and heard their conversation. He didn't object and instead said that if they could really go to the other side of the starry sky, there would definitely be a way to return.
The group left the Ji Family and headed for the Immortal Ascension Valley. Ye Fan wanted to see Lin Jia. He didn't know how she was doing and couldn't forget some things of the past.
A group of people came to this world, but why didn't the others appear? This made him suspicious. He really didn't know what they were doing and where they were scattered.
"Back then, how many of us came to this world? It should be 16, "Pang Bo muttered to himself.
"Yes, in the ancient coffin on the Mars Star, more than a dozen people died. Only 16 came to this world alive," Ye Fan said.
"Among them, Liu Yunzhi, Li Zhangqing, and Wang Yan failed to harm us. As soon as they came to this world, they died in the tiger's den outside the forbidden area of the Desolate Antiquity." Pang Bo nodded.
They were taken by the six Blessed and Heavenly Abodes of the Yan Land to cultivate. Among them, three died a few years later. One had a problem with his cultivation, one was killed when he went out, and one was torn to shreds by a strange beast while gathering herbs.
Now, only ten people truly survived. Li Xiaoman turned against them and became a great enemy. Zhang Wenchang was in the Humble Peak, Liu Yiyi entered the Jasper Pool, and Kai was taken away by an old monk to become a Buddhist Guardian Vajra. As for the others, Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, Lin Jia, and Zhang Ziling had never appeared. No one knew what happened to them.
"Are you sure that, other than us, the people in the ancient bronze coffin on the Mars Star and the others who came to this ancient planet are all dead?" Ye Fan asked.
Pang Bo pondered and didn't reply immediately.
"I still feel that there's a ghostly shadow standing in the darkness watching me," Ye Fan muttered to himself.
