# Chapter 1528: Imperial Shadow Divine Child
As soon as Ye Fan moved to act, the Stone King trembled, retreating several steps back, and even more chaotic qi emerged.
Swish!
Between Ye Fan's golden palm fingers, order divine chains were contained, hanging down like phoenix divine feathers, fixing it in place, unable to move any further.
"Boom!"
Chaos surged, suddenly exploding as if a world had been split open, shaking this stone workshop violently. The crowd was horrified—the Stone King was far more powerful than they had imagined.
What was this thing? The chaotic qi was too dense. Generally, this kind of substance only appeared in newly opened small worlds or at the cosmic border wastelands. How could it be so concentrated?
Ye Fan used his finger as a blade, carving into the stone material, not wanting to harm what was inside, peeling it away layer by layer.
Crack!
A layer of earth-gray stone skin fell off, and in that instant, nine-colored divine radiance burst forth, dazzling people so they couldn't open their eyes. Truly, the phenomenon was astonishing.
The crowd retreated, watching from afar, their hearts filled with uncertainty. They had never encountered such a sight—first chaos, then such brilliant immortal radiance.
Ye Fan moved again. Stone chips fell rustling, and a large piece of stone skin dropped off, causing this stone to tremble violently.
Weng-long!
Streams of clear qi surged up, transforming into strands of dazzling light, like ascending immortals. Many strange scenes appeared in this garden—as if one great emperor after another was shouting, or as if the gates of the Immortal Domain had been opened, revealing a vast, bizarre world.
Stone Within Flying Immortal!
This scene appeared again. Generally, such phenomena only occurred when rare treasures emerged from stone.
And different immortal materials were accompanied by different scenes. This time, the "Stone Within Flying Immortal" was clearly too shocking. People truly felt as if one great emperor after another was roaring and struggling.
"What is that?"
The crowd actually felt a shivering sensation. It was clearly just a phenomenon, not real figures, yet it made everyone tremble. When had such a thing ever happened during stone cutting?
It seemed to be one imperial shadow after another, lined up together, overlooking the ages, facing all living beings. They emitted a "Only I Am Supreme" aura that almost made people kneel in defeat.
There was no power fluctuation, no trace of pressure, yet it was this intimidating. An unparalleled supreme momentum made everyone feel awe.
What exactly was inside this stone? Everyone was shaken, their hearts filled with doubt. This "Stone Within Flying Immortal" phenomenon was different from the legends. It subdued all the heroes.
The Immortal Domain was illusory, slowly fading in the light and shadows. All these great emperor shadows disappeared, gradually dispersing into heaven and earth.
Crack!
Ye Fan continued cutting the stone, bringing people's thoughts back to reality. All the various phenomena of "Stone Within Flying Immortal" had vanished, ending a scene.
But the crowd couldn't let it go. It was as if they had truly experienced a moment when all emperors coexisted, feeling a vast, ancient atmosphere, unable to speak for a long time.
As cracking sounds continued, much stone skin was shaved off the broken stone. It began to struggle again, very fiercely.
Even though Ye Fan was confident in his natural divine strength, he was still surprised. The force of this stone was not small—much stronger than an ordinary sage. If he weren't holding it down, it would definitely have flown away.
At the same time, a wild, ancient aura suddenly burst forth. A world came crashing down toward Ye Fan!
That's right, it was a vast world, incomparably grand. Lofty mountains, boundless divine waterfalls, towering ancient trees—like a piece of primeval divine land where ten thousand tribes coexisted, pressing down.
A world suddenly appeared in the void, pressing toward Ye Fan. Anyone would be greatly shocked. This was a powerful thought transformed, impacting his sea of consciousness, trying to suppress his Immortal Platform.
As strong as Ye Fan was now, he naturally wouldn't be defeated by the Stone King. The golden little figure in his brow sat cross-legged, directly blocking everything back. However, he didn't shatter it, because it looked somewhat familiar, causing him to lose focus for a moment.
"This is..."
Ye Fan was quite shocked. Looking carefully, it was a vast landscape, many scenes seemingly seen before.
"The other shore of the starry sky—Earth!"
He finally recognized it. This was the land of his homeland, though not what was seen now, but the grand world that only cultivators could contact.
He had returned to Earth before. After careful observation, he discovered that the true land was incomparably vast, many times larger than the part already revealed, but all covered by great arrays, sealed away.
The current secular world was only a very small part. He had been to Kunlun, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Soap Horn Mountain, Mao Mountain, and other places, as well as the Changbai Ancestral Mountain—all sealed by great arrays, with only a small part exposed outside.
"This is the ancient land of Earth before it was sealed..." Ye Fan was truly shocked. When he first returned to Earth, descending from the outer domain, he caught a glimpse—various mountains towering to the heavens, tens of thousands of feet high, almost identical to what he had just seen.
What was going on? How could this Stone King reflect the former world on the other shore of the starry sky? Could it be that the living being inside the stone came from Earth?
This was too shocking, truly challenging one's mind.
Fu Xi, Yellow Emperor, Rong Cheng, Laozi, Buddha—these powerful figures, after entering the cosmos, had never been seen. Who would have thought that today, here, they would encounter one.
Ye Fan's heart was heavy, his expression very serious. He dared not be careless in any way. He began cutting the stone again, wanting to peel out the living being inside.
The vast world scene disappeared, but those images were imprinted in Ye Fan's heart, making him feel a kind of homeland aura, as if calling to him, urging him to return.
He had many questions. If sealed in stone, it must have been at least from the Primeval Era—much earlier than the Flame Emperor, Yellow Emperor, Rong Cheng, and others.
Not Fu Xi, Yellow Emperor, or those half-human, half-divine beings. Who could it be? How far back in time would it push?
"Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains? That's very ancient. That great calamity swept through all heavens and myriad domains, ultimately falling on Earth."
Ye Fan's fingers moved without stopping, slowly cutting the stone. He felt he could suppress the being inside. It certainly wasn't any of the former sages listed above—just that this person was ancient enough.
At this point, Ye Fan increasingly felt that Earth was mysterious and unfathomable. Aside from the final descent of Kunlun, there seemed to be many unknown secrets.
Crack!
A light sound. The stone was opened, emitting ten thousand feet of light, like a small sun blooming, causing many people to immediately close their eyes, unable to look directly.
What kind of immortal material was this?
The most powerful cultivators, enduring the pain in their eyes, stared at this spot, wanting to see clearly.
Ye Fan's mind trembled. His heavenly eye shot out astonishing light. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was a type of source—something theoretical in the Source Heaven Scripture. According to speculation, it should exist in the world, but no Origin Heavenly Master throughout the ages had ever seen it.
In the past, Ye Fan had only heard someone talk about this kind of substance at Sacred Cliff.
The primordial spirit of the Undying Daoist had been sealed in Immortal Source. It should be this kind of substance.
Based on what he knew, if one wanted to remain undying, even this kind of source couldn't seal a Great Emperor—it simply wouldn't work, unless they paid that unimaginably great price. For Supreme Beings, this substance was only somewhat better than Divine Source.
In the Divine Source was sealed a living being, possessing vigorous life force, emanating an aura of the dawn of all things.
As the remaining stone skin fell off, this rare Immortal Source gradually revealed most of itself. Inside was a little creature, staring right back at Ye Fan!
"Ou miao la e du na..."
Muttering sounds came from the Immortal Source. This creature was speaking to Ye Fan, as if expressing unease and some dissatisfaction.
"What are you saying?" Ye Fan fixed this in place, releasing golden battle qi to prepare.
"A li rua ma ya la gu na..." This little creature continued speaking, clearly transmitting to Ye Fan's ears.
Chaotic qi filled the air. Mysterious mist surrounded the Immortal Source, blocking others' line of sight, as unfathomable as immortal fog. And at this moment, Ye Fan was right in front, able to see clearly what was inside. Within the Immortal Source was actually a child!
This made him find it hard to believe. He had clearly felt sage-level force, but when cut open, it turned out to be a child. Moreover, he was chubby, plump, and adorably naive.
This was a child who looked three or four years old, completely naked, a boy. His pupils were like black gems, his body fair and clean, looking completely harmless, even quite cute.
Ye Fan was a bit dazed. He had thought about it for a long time but never imagined a chubby baby, white and plump, harmless to humans or beasts.
"Sa de le fa si di dan fu fen..."
Seeing that he didn't act, this child grew bolder, shedding his fearful and nervous expression, speaking loudly to him.
The Immortal Source was very peculiarly shaped—like a small coffin, or like a crystal bed. The child lay inside, very comfortable.
But now, held up and fixed by Ye Fan, his unease hadn't completely dissipated. He cautiously confronted Ye Fan.
Around the Immortal Source, chaotic qi never dispersed, swirling around, making him appear even more extraordinary. Everyone knew that any living being that could naturally gather chaotic qi was extraordinary!
Ye Fan's expression shifted between uncertainty. Fixing the Immortal Source, he carefully pondered. This matter was too strange—no matter how he looked at it, there was something eerie.
A child, this tiny, with the strength of a sage—this was not just heaven-defying, it was unheard of, defying common sense, too subversive.
Unless he wasn't really a child, just appearing this way. Otherwise, it was truly inexplicable, more bizarre than anyone's talent he had ever known.
"Over a hundred years ago, he awakened, sealed in Immortal Source. If he had cultivated during this time, like the Holy Prince in the past, the Immortal Source should have cracked open."
Clearly, this child hadn't cultivated. The Immortal Source showed no cracks, still in its sealed state. This gave Ye Fan a headache.
He carefully examined the child's body, then fixed his gaze on his Immortal Platform, preparing to investigate thoroughly. The appearance of this child was truly too strange.
"Most crucially, he might come from the other shore of the starry sky—Earth. Mysterious and unfathomable—I must get to the bottom of this!"
Calling upon all great emperors, begging for monthly votes. Also, can anyone guess the origin of this child? Please leave a comment and see if you're right when it's revealed later.
