Haitang was still in the Constellation Tier, after all. Although there were many elites in Mount Fangcun, a Constellation Tier elite was not someone that could be abandoned so easily. Moreover, there were some other reasons why Mount Fangcun could not abandon her so easily. Sensing that she had not returned, Mount Fangcun had stopped at this location.
Perhaps there were still elites from Mount Fangcun searching everywhere for her, but they could not find her in the end. Thus, Missing Moon Immortal was unlucky.
Lu Ye could not be sure exactly how the matter had developed, but he thought that it should be the process.
Now, it was very likely that Missing Moon Immortal was trapped in Mount Fangcun, so he had to go over and take a look. However, he soon realized a problem. "Senior Sister Haitang, since your Mount Fangcun has such a rule, then if I go in …"
Haitang smiled. "That rule is only applicable to intruders. You're a guest invited by me, so it's naturally not applicable. Junior brother, you don't have to worry. If that senior sister of yours is really at Mount Fangcun, I'll ask master to mediate for you to bring her out after I return."
"Thank you, Senior Sister," Haitang said.
"You saved my life and brought me out of the sea of bitterness. I do not know how to repay you. I am very happy to be able to help you. Junior Brother, you do not have to be so courteous with me."
Lu Ye did not say anything else. Haitang also seriously used the secret technique of the Dwarf Tribe, searching for traces of aura that others could not see.
Originally, he had planned to bring Haitang back to the Nine States and ask her for some information about the universe. Now, it seemed that this plan had been ruined.
This was something that could not be helped. Plans were always inferior to changes.
After receiving Little Nine's message, Lu Ye had rushed to the location where Missing Moon Immortal had disappeared. In other words, a month ago, Mount Fangcun should still be in that location, so it should not have gone far at this moment.
However, chasing after a drifting domain in the universe was actually not an easy task. Especially when Haitang had to stop from time to time to determine the direction that Mount Fangcun had moved. Sometimes, she even ran in the wrong direction, which was a bit of a waste of time.
After a full two months, Haitang said excitedly, "It should not be far. These traces are very clear. We should be able to reach home in a few days."
Sure enough, a few days later, something that looked like a small mountain suddenly appeared in Lu Ye's field of vision.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, there were all kinds of meteors and floating continents in the cosmos. He had seen all kinds of strange objects before.
But what he didn't expect was that when Haitang saw the mountain-like star, she actually cheered, "I finally found it!"
Lu Ye was dumbfounded. "This is Mount Fangcun?"
"Yeah!" Haitang nodded heavily.
The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. He wanted to ask her if she had made a mistake, but on second thought, it was useless to ask. Haitang was from the Dwarf Clan. There was no reason for her to make a mistake about her own domain.
But … could this be considered a domain?
The small mountain that entered his field of vision wasn't that big. It couldn't be said that it could be seen everywhere in the starry sky, but it wasn't difficult to spot. This was just a meteorite that was in the shape of a small mountain. Although there were many mountain peaks, the tallest one was only a few hundred feet high. Even if the Dwarfs were really small, living in such a place, wouldn't it be crowded? Moreover, Lu Ye couldn't sense any living aura from it.
Haitang seemed to have seen his confusion, so she explained, "Mount Fangcun is mysterious and unpredictable. It has the innate ability to camouflage and confuse people, so it's impossible to see anything from the outside."
What she meant was that there was a world inside Mount Fangcun.
Lu Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll have to take a good look."
But very soon, Lu Ye saw something else. "Your Mount Fangcun … is incomplete?"
On one side of the small mountain, there were obvious signs of fracture. It was unknown how it had been caused.
Haitang nodded. "Mount Fangcun is indeed incomplete. Many years ago, it was split into three parts. We belong to the eastern part of Mount Fangcun, and there are also the southern and western parts. In the future, if Junior Brother comes across the other two parts of Mount Fangcun in the starry sky, don't just barge in recklessly."
Lu Ye nodded and said, "I understand."
As they spoke, the two of them continued to approach Mount Fangcun. Very soon, they reached the periphery of the small mountain.
Haitang said, "Junior Brother, don't resist!"
As she said this, she activated her spiritual power and wrapped it around Lu Ye. Then, he crashed head-first into the small mountain ahead.
Just as he was about to crash into the mountain, Lu Ye suddenly had the illusion that he had barged into a layer of thin film. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
When he looked up, he was astonished. This was because what he saw was a huge sun hanging in the sky.
It had appeared so abruptly, without any warning at all.
Lu Ye immediately understood that Mount Fangcun looked one way from the outside and another way inside. As expected, there was another world inside.
An extremely powerful divine sense suddenly swept over, and Lu Ye's body tensed up. This divine sense was so strong that he had only felt it from a few people — Yue Xin, Yang Qing, and Feng Rumo.
Sunshine Realm!
Clearly, because Haitang had brought him into Mount Fangcun, they had attracted the attention of the Sunshine Realm cultivators guarding the border.
In the blink of an eye, the divine sense disappeared. It had undoubtedly identified Haitang's identity.
Lu Ye calmed himself down and continued to observe the interior of Mount Fangcun. The light of the sun was covered by the clouds. At this moment, he and Haitang were rapidly descending.
He took a light breath and felt the air that he had not felt in a long time.
After passing through the clouds, the ground below was imprinted into his vision. It was vast and continuous, with many undulating mountain ranges. It was as if long dragons were lying on the ground.
This was what a realm should look like.
"Junior Brother, how is the interior of Mount Fangcun?" Haitang asked with a smile.
"The atmosphere is extraordinary!" Lu Ye could feel that Mount Fangcun was much higher level than the Nine Provinces. This was definitely a top-level realm.
From the outside, he could see the full appearance of Mount Fangcun at a glance. However, after entering, even if he fully spread out his divine sense, he could only detect a small area of Mount Fangcun.
Suddenly, he realized that something was not right. He turned to look at Haitang and was dumbfounded. "Senior Sister Haitang, you … have grown bigger!"
At this moment, Haitang was no longer that palm-sized little person. Instead, she was the same as when he saw her on the Specter Ship. She had a normal human physique.
Haitang pursed her lips and smiled. "It's not that I've grown bigger, it's that you've become smaller. This is the law of Mount Fangcun. It's said that the complete Mount Fangcun is a starry sky supreme treasure. Although it's now divided into three parts, the law of Mount Fangcun is still operating. All cultivators who enter this place will become smaller."
Lu Ye did not notice it at all. He circulated his spiritual power slightly, and there was no hindrance. He then looked at his storage ring and storage space. They were not affected at all. Even the Mountain Pan Saber was still the size that was suitable for him!
How mysterious was such a law?
Haitang continued, "I'll bring you back to the peak first to see Master. Then, I'll think of a way to find out about that senior sister of yours. If she's really trapped here, I'll ask Master to help rescue her and reunite with you."
She had arranged everything properly. Naturally, Lu Ye had no problems.
As he flew forward, Lu Ye discovered that there was nothing in Mount Fangcun. Moreover, there didn't seem to be a lot of people in Mount Fangcun. At the very least, it wasn't like the Nine Provinces where there were humans everywhere.
All the humans were gathered around the spiritual mountains. Some of the spiritual mountains had more humans, while others had fewer humans.
After asking about this, Haitang didn't hide anything. "Junior Martial Brother is right. Our Little Human Race does use Spirit Mountains as our foundation. A Spirit Mountain is equivalent to a sect of your Human Race. Within Mount Fangcun, there are a thousand Spirit Mountains, which means there are a thousand sects."
Although this was not a small number, it paled in comparison to the Land of the Nine Provinces.
If all the sects in the Land of the Nine Provinces were added together, there would be more than ten thousand of them.
This was undoubtedly related to the population of the humans.
Among the thousand spiritual mountains, there were three that were the most powerful. They were the Misty Peak, the Cloud Sea Peak, and the Immortal Spirit Peak. All of them had Sunshine cultivators.
Previously, when Haitang brought Lu Ye into Mount Fangcun, the spiritual will that swept over them belonged to the Cloud Sea Peak's Peak Lord, Chen Xuanhai. Recently, he had been on duty to protect this realm.
The spiritual mountain that Haitang came from was one of the three great spiritual mountains, the Immortal Spirit Peak. Her master was the Immortal Spirit Peak's Peak Lord, Su Yuqing. She was also one of the only three Sunshine cultivators in Mount Fangcun.
If not for this layer of relationship, Mount Fangcun would not have stopped to wait for Haitang after discovering that she had gone missing. If it were a constellation cultivator without a strong backer who had gone missing, Mount Fangcun would at most send out people to search for her.
It could be seen that Haitang's master was quite fond of her.
The territory of the entire Fangcun Mountain wasn't too vast. It was only about three out of the nine prefectures. However, one had to know that the Fangcun Mountain here was only a part of it. The complete Fangcun Mountain was definitely not inferior to the nine prefectures in terms of size.
A constellation cultivator's flying speed was very fast. Even if they entered the realm from the wrong place, it took them less than an hour to reach the Immortal Spirit Peak.
From the outside of Mount Fangcun, Lu Ye saw that the tallest peak was only a few hundred feet tall. However, it was different inside. The Immortal Spirit Peak was several thousand feet tall. Spiritual energy was abundant in the spiritual mountain. Beside the spiritual mountain, there were mountain ranges.
This area of a hundred thousand miles could be considered the territory of the Immortal Spirit Peak.
Haitang led Lu Ye to a valley below the Immortal Spirit Peak and arranged for him to stay in the guest hall. She said apologetically, "Junior Brother Lu, Master has some rules here. Without her permission, outsiders are not allowed to step into the Immortal Spirit Peak. Please wait here first. I will go and meet Master now and report to her about your senior sister."
"Then I will have to trouble Senior Sister Haitang."
After Haitang left, Lu Ye sat quietly in the guest hall and waited.
After entering Mount Fangcun, he tried to check the battlefield imprint. However, he was already out of the range of the Land of the Nine Provinces, so he could not find anything useful. He also thought of using his spiritual sense to search, but he was after all a guest. It would be inappropriate for him to do so. He could only leave this matter to Haitang.
Hopefully, there will be a good result.
