Chapter 840: Netting the Strongest Constitution

The group felt a chill, looking at the giant black hole on the ground. They exchanged glances, startled. This truly was a bolt from the blue, strange and mysterious, leaving them shaken.

The thatched hut had been utterly destroyed, leaving only a dark cavern leading deep underground.

The Diviner had long since seen through life and death. He gazed at the vast heavens, where endless secrets lay hidden, and let out a long breath. Finally, he would find release and an end to it all.

The ancient Great Emperors had long been dead; there was ample evidence of this. Yet, the realms and domains they had delved into held endless forgotten secrets, obscured by the heavens.

The Diviner had merely mentioned a single sentence, yet without even revealing a heavenly secret, it had led to such terrible consequences, which truly commanded awe.

Ye Fan thought of the heavenly tribulation, with its palaces resembling the ancient Heavenly Court and its humanoid lightning, all of which sparked infinite imagination.

"Grandmaster, please don't leave us!" The two children stood by the Diviner, shaking his arm, their small faces filled with terror.

"You two are co-born spirit children, one male and one female, representing yin and yang. You can mutually mitigate misfortunes. As long as you do not delve into forbidden heavenly secrets in the future, you will not suffer calamity." The Diviner said kindly, patting both children's heads.

Knowing his days were numbered and that he could not defy fate to survive, he asked Ye Fan and the others to care for the two spirit children, stating that they would prove greatly beneficial in the future.

If the Diviner's act of entrusting the children were to spread outside, it would surely cause an uproar. Countless major powers would fight tooth and nail to claim them, as the two spirit children were destined to become master diviners, capable of deducing heavenly secrets.

A thought crossed the Old Blind Man's mind: the Diviner must have foreseen something to entrust the two spirit children to them in such a manner.

"You wish to inquire about people, do you? This is a minor matter, not considered a revelation of heavenly secrets. I will divine for you." The Diviner closed his eyes and began his calculations after hearing the names of Pang Bo, Wu Zhongtian, and Dongfang Ye.

Pang Bo was in a celestial realm, undergoing various illusory tribulations. If he passed through them, a great opportunity awaited him, a revelation that pleasantly surprised Ye Fan.

Dongfang Ye was in purgatory, enduring severe tempering. One step back meant death, but passing a hundred trials meant life. In this desperate situation, to survive, he would need an iron will and perseverance.

This left everyone stunned: one in a celestial realm, the other in purgatory. Such extremes! Yet both were suffering calamities and would only survive by overcoming them.

Tu Fei was now doomed to a death that would last several millennia, making it impossible for old acquaintances to see him again in the future. Hearing this news, everyone's heart sank. The greatest tragedy in the world was separation by death.

Liu Kou was dead and would never appear in the world again, leaving everyone feeling dejected and powerless to change anything.

When he attempted to divine Little Nannan's fate, the Diviner found himself unable to. She had no past nor future; her life trajectory was a complete blur.

The Diviner, who claimed to be able to divine all earthly matters, was utterly helpless at this moment. He could not comprehend the underlying causes and effects, and a cold sweat broke out on him immediately.

"This person cannot be divined!"

Then, his face instantly paled. He spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, staining his Daoist robe, and quickly severed the heavenly secret as if fleeing a ghost.

Wu Zhongtian and Jiang Huai Ren were still alive, trapped in a cage-like predicament, but there would eventually be a day for them to meet again, which made everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Daoist Priest, can you tell me when I will attain the Dao and become an Emperor?" The big black dog, shamelessly bold, stepped forward to ask for a divination.

"When you meet an immortal," the Diviner smiled.

"What do you mean? If I meet an immortal, what's the point of becoming an Emperor?!" The big black dog was furious. "Where are there immortals in this world? This clearly means I won't attain the Dao!"

"Old Man, how many wives and concubines will I have in the future? I might be too busy if there are too many 'three palaces and six courtyards'," Li Tian asked eagerly.

"One is enough," the Diviner replied.

"What?! Are you messing with me? You can't just say things carelessly! Do you mean I'll only have one main wife, or that I myself am enough?!" Li Tian became flustered.

"Senior, I only wish to ask, can I embark on my return journey and go back to my homeland?" Ye Fan asked solemnly.

"Yes," the Diviner nodded, giving an affirmative answer. But after careful thought, he seemed to want to say more but held back.

"Senior, what were you going to say?" Ye Fan asked. Some matters could often have their beginnings predicted but not their ends, and he feared some unexpected turn of events.

"It won't be too long from now; you will know when the time comes," the Diviner said. He could only give a rough estimation, as revealing the detailed specifics of the future would be considered a revelation of heavenly secrets.

Finally, the time for farewell arrived. The young brother and sister were sobbing uncontrollably, heartbroken and reluctant to part with the Diviner. They clung tightly to his arm, refusing to let go.

"Our destiny together has ended, like a leaf that must eventually wither. If there is reincarnation, we will meet again after thousands of generations," the Diviner whispered, imprinting the "Heaven Stealing Art" into their foreheads' divine platforms.

Finally, Ye Fan and the others carried off the two children, bowed to the Diviner, and left the great mountain.

Boom!

Not long after they left, a bolt of lightning struck down, piercing through heaven and earth, engulfing that place.

"What? Is that even lightning?!" They were all dumbfounded.

There was only a single streak of lightning, yet it was thicker than dozens of mountains combined, stretching from the heavens down to the ground. It did not dissipate, terrifying beyond measure.

"One-character lightning," the Old Blind Man said with a solemn expression, gazing into the distance. Those in this realm all sought to grasp that "one," but it was impossible. Perhaps at the end of one's life, it could be seen, revealing all secrets.

They knew no miracle would occur; the Diviner could not defy heaven and would not survive. To leave the two children with some hope, they resolutely crossed the void, without looking back again.

"Grandpa, Grandmaster's life..." The two children cried heartbreakingly, stretching their small hands behind them, but they could grasp nothing.

They did not return to the Heavenly Village immediately but instead wandered through many places in the Central Province, hoping to calm the two spirit children.

Finally, they crossed over and returned to the Northern Region.

This was a lush land, with abundant vegetation and vibrant life. More than ten years ago, Zhang Wuye and his stone village had relocated here.

Now, the people in the stone village lived prosperous lives, no longer struggling as much as in the past. Everything was peaceful and harmonious.

Some time ago, they had agreed to gather here. Li Heishui had already arrived and was being pulled by Zhang Wuye to drink heavily. After years apart, the old man had clearly aged considerably.

When Ye Fan and the others arrived, a commotion arose in the stone village. Many villagers gathered around the evening bonfire, where people were everywhere, the scent of wine and meat filled the air, and it was as lively as a New Year celebration.

Ye Fan took out a drop of True Dragon Immortal Medicine to extend the lifespan of a mortal like Zhang Wuye, feeling no regret. He harbored deep gratitude for the Zhang clan; without their Source Heaven Book, he would not have achieved everything he had today.

The biggest changes in the stone village were seen in Wang Shu and Er Lengzi, whom Ye Fan had previously designated as responsible for certain teachings. They were born with double pupils, their foreheads glowed, and their blood had turned pure silver.

"Their cultivation progressed so quickly?" The Black Emperor was quite surprised. Years ago, after discovering their anomalies, it had taught them the path of cultivation.

Now, these two had become self-taught cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Realm, their progress breathtakingly fast.

While they were certainly incomparable to the few individuals present, it was remarkable that they had started from scratch, with no guidance, and had simply fumbled their way forward to learn.

"Uncrowned Kings!" The Monkey also arrived that night. After seeing the pure silver blood and various features of these individuals, he was greatly astonished and grabbed them firmly, questioning them closely.

In his later years, the Source Celestial Master had brought back two infants who were not human at all. He had sealed their bloodlines using heaven-defying means, and these infants were the ancestors of Wang Shu and Lei Bo.

Ye Fan had heard Zhang Wuye mention this before, and now he asked him to recount it in detail once more. The Monkey remained silent for a long time after listening.

During the Primordial Era, powerful clans proliferated, and countless tales of rise and fall were witnessed, along with the tragedies of great ruling clans being wiped out overnight.

Among them was one clan that had endured many changes. Though no ancient Emperor had emerged from them, they had several times ruled the world and were called Uncrowned Kings.

Their population was sparse, their blood pure silver, and they possessed terrifying innate abilities. Once they matured, they became formidable and powerful. Although they produced no Emperors, there was a continuous succession of Great Sages among them, so much so that even imperial clans dared not provoke them.

Unfortunately, during the Primordial Era, they provoked beings they should not have. It was rumored they wanted to enter the Immortal Mausoleum, which resulted in the entire clan being destroyed.

"Such a significant origin?" Everyone present was a bit stunned.

The Source Celestial Master traveled extensively. After experiencing ill omens in his later years, his actions became even more bizarre. He had entered the Immortal Mausoleum, trespassed into the Divine Ruins, and witnessed ghost soldiers borrowing a path, so bringing back two silver-blooded infants was not surprising.

"The Source Celestial Master truly possessed unfathomable means, to have recovered the Uncrowned Imperial Clan that should have long been extinct. It's astonishing!" The Monkey's eyes shone with excitement as he looked at the Lei and Wang family members in the stone village.

Then he sighed softly, "It's a pity their bloodline has thinned and cannot compare to the former silver-blooded lineage. Otherwise, they would truly be a great imperial clan."

However, he suddenly turned around and stared at Lei Bo and Er Lengzi, saying, "Breaking through the bloodline seal and forcibly breaking free from their shackles—this is an atavistic phenomenon. It indicates their bloodline is as powerful as their ancestors', making them pure-blooded descendants of the Uncrowned Imperial Clan."

"The people of the stone village are all treasures. Even if their bloodlines have thinned, they can still unlock the seals and grow into powerful individuals." The Black Emperor's eyes gleamed. Of course, it couldn't reveal this to the villagers; only Zhang Wuye, Wang Shu, and Er Lengzi could understand the truth.

When they returned to the Heavenly Village, Qi Luo saw the group and was so happy that his single eye almost narrowed into a slit. Then he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Who in the future can contend with our Heavenly Court for the destiny of heaven and earth?!" He stared at the two spirit children, then at Little Tongtong, looked toward Little Que'er, and finally seized the two silver-blooded individuals.

In the future, even without Ye Fan, as long as Tongtong, Little Que'er, and the two spirit children could grow up, they would be unrivalled in the world.

With a physique identical to the Solar Saint Emperor, Little Que'er's prowess in slaying all kings, and the two spirit children deducing heavenly secrets to seek fortune and avoid calamity—who could possibly contend with them?

Of course, if they could retain the Battle Saint Prince and ensure no mishaps befell the Desolate Ancient Saint Body, they would be even more invincible, fearless even when facing the Primordial Kings in the future.

"Tongtong's atavism gives her a physique identical to the Solar Saint Emperor. I also heard you have a younger sister with the Lunar Yin Body, who has been in secluded death meditation at the Jiang family to find you. Now that you're back, you can go call her out. If possible, please invite her to visit us here for a few days," Qi Luo said, looking somewhat cunning, making one want to slap him.

"You want to sweep up all the strongest physiques in the world, don't you?" Ye Fan retorted ungraciously.

"Of course! If we're going to do it, we'll be number one in the world. We won't re-establish the Ancient Killer Dynasty, but the true Heavenly Court from myths and legends!" Qi Luo declared.
