# Chapter 1534: Target Ziwei
Before leaving the Big Dipper, Ye Fan naturally had many things to do. He needed to inform the people of Heavenly Village and pay a visit to the Ji Family.
When he went to the Ji Family, it truly caused a joke. The heavy gift he presented was a little fat child, leaving everyone exchanging bewildered glances. The Ji Family directly stated, "If you came because of Ji Ziyue, what does presenting a child mean?"
"Father!" The little fat troublemaker was very mischievous. He shouted on the spot, causing a row of tables to be overturned. Yet the culprit put on an innocent look, blinking his big eyes and saying nothing more.
"I'll stew you and feed you to the Black Emperor later!" After leaving the Ji Family, Ye Fan really wanted to cut him out.
"I didn't call you. I wouldn't suffer such a big loss. I have a vague impression in my divine sense." The little fat boy was very stubborn.
Without another word, Ye Fan directly searched his Immortal Platform, but found nothing at all. This little fat troublemaker had deliberately caused trouble.
Ye Fan had wanted to gift the Ji Family a future Quasi-Emperor, one who could protect the clan's glory for an era. But recalling the words of the Calamity Saint Chaos Expansion, he didn't insist. Of course, the main reason was thanks to the little fat boy's own mischief, shouting so recklessly like that.
He left behind half of the Dao Source, then crossed the Ji River and departed.
"Master, I want to go back!" When Ye Tong heard that Ye Fan was going to cross to the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, his eyes immediately turned red, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
The great hatred of clan annihilation, the deep blood feud—his childhood was filled with wounds. His parents and older brother, the little sister who died shielding him, and the loyal old servant who protected him as he fled—thinking of them made his eyes sting and his heart ache with sorrow.
Ye Fan nodded. It was time to take Ye Tong to the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain and settle the grudges of the past.
"It's been so many years since we left. It's time for us to return home in glory. After all these years, the divine maidens and sacred maidens of Ziwei have probably forgotten the unparalleled elegance of this Great Emperor Li Tian." These two fellow disciples were from Ziwei and naturally had to go back and take a look.
Back then, their lineage's predecessors had been jointly destroyed by various sects. The reason these two fellow disciples had left their homeland was also to escape the quagmire, otherwise there would always be trouble.
Now, as Saint Kings, they could naturally return without fear of any sect.
"I feel that the Immortal Path is truly about to open. The footsteps are getting closer. We need to be prepared and not put ourselves in danger," Ye Fan said.
"What's there to fear? Fight our way in!" The little fat boy shouted.
As a result, Ye Fan picked him up and smacked his little bottom. The force naturally penetrated into the Immortal Source, making him cry out loudly, his little bottom turning bright red.
"You dare hit this Heavenly Emperor? I'll fight you to the death!" The little fat boy howled. But unfortunately, he still lacked the skill to shake the Sacred Body.
"This little fat boy is a talent, born a Saint. Leave him with me for proper training." Qi Luo and the others, having developed a fondness for the extraordinary talent after cultivating Ye Tong, Little Sparrow, Huahua, and others in Heavenly Village, took special interest in such heaven-defying prodigies.
Ye Fan shook his head. "Forget it. Let him stay by my side for now. He's a calamity seed for the world. He even scared Chaos Expansion into fleeing like an old rabbit. Who knows what unforeseen events might happen in the future. Let everything come at me instead."
"You know it well!" The little fat boy muttered, only to get smacked again, crying out endlessly.
"Little fatty, I hear you have quite the background. I'll give you an Arhat position. Come with me, big brother." Huahua returned and teased him.
"Bald head, don't tempt me. You're not a beauty!" The little fat boy glared.
"I have a nun there. I'll appoint you as a Bodhisattva." Huahua grinned mischievously. As a result, Ye Fan lightly slapped his bald head, producing a crisp sound.
All the people from the Western Desert had arrived, including Kaide, now known as Golden Fur Heavenly King, the Dharma Protector Venerable of the Western Desert branch of the Heavenly Court. He spent every day with Huahua in the temple, eating large chunks of meat and drinking large bowls of wine.
The old monk Maha had truly had enough. If not for the fact that Huahua was proof and miracle of the Buddhist reincarnation, he would have long slapped them both into meat paste.
After all, as a Great Sage, the old monk had dared to fight the Battle Victory Buddha back in the day. Now he had become the abbot of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, holding an extremely revered status.
But he wanted to understand the truth of reincarnation, so he agreed to become the great mountain gate protector for Huahua.
Everyone discussed that the Heavenly Court forces should gradually withdraw from the Big Dipper. Otherwise, once the Immortal Path opened, no one could say what would happen.
Everyone wanted to become immortal. But only if they stayed alive. They had come into contact with too much. The Green Copper Cauldron was in their hands. The more they understood, the more hopeless it seemed. It was better to stand outside the domain and observe first.
Undoubtedly, there were many in the universe who held the same thoughts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have only sent subordinates first while the true bodies of the giants hadn't arrived in person.
"Those who are arrogant will eventually be unable to resist. They will descend sooner or later. When that time comes, Quasi-Emperor battles stretching across the heavens won't be surprising!"
What surprised everyone was that in the following half month, as they busily prepared to retreat, someone descended from outside the domain to find them.
"It's the siblings Gu Fei and Gu Lin! They came out of Heavenly Village and actually returned to the Big Dipper!"
Everyone was both surprised and delighted. After the unreliable Black Emperor disappeared, contact with the outside domain had been cut off. Now the siblings' arrival was very good news.
"Little Sparrow!" Gu Lin had a very good relationship with Little Sparrow. After years apart, they reunited and rushed toward each other.
When they saw Ye Fan, the siblings were stunned. They quickly rushed over and performed a grand salute.
After years of separation, the siblings had long grown up. The sister was still lively, but the brother had become quite steady. He wore a Daoist robe, looking like a Heavenly Master, with a long beard.
In fact, the others had also been separated from these siblings for over ten years, some even longer. When they met, naturally there was no end to their words.
"Has the Black Emperor returned?" the Silver Blood Twin Emperors asked, their expressions very awkward. These two had been trained by Big Black to the point that even thinking about it now sent chills down their spines.
"No. Since he disappeared, he hasn't returned," Gu Fei shook his head.
Even with the siblings' methods, they couldn't calculate the Black Emperor's whereabouts. It was like trying to divine for Ye Fan—it would inevitably backfire.
In the siblings' words, one possibility was that Ye Fan's fate was too strong, and another was that his future achievements were immeasurable, making external things difficult to interfere.
As for predicting the future, the ancient sages had already explained it thoroughly. Divination was like watching falling leaves and predicting they would inevitably fall to the ground—it was merely observing a certain trajectory and foreseeing a trend.
Of course, it couldn't be taken entirely as truth. Like those leaves, they might fall into a tree hollow and turn to dry mud without ever touching the ground.
"Come, take a look at this little fatty. Try to see if you can see through his origins." Ye Fan invited the siblings to perform their art, while he personally protected them to avoid any accidents.
Gu Fei and Gu Lin nodded in agreement. They took out various ritual implements, set up a tortoise shell platform, carved various runes, sat cross-legged on it, and then placed the little fat boy on top.
"You... what are you... going to do to me?" He kicked his legs vigorously.
Everyone laughed. This fair-skinned little fatty acted like this, like a young wife encountering a villain, fear written in his eyes.
The siblings performed their art. The place flickered with light, dimming and brightening. The little fatty was very uneasy, twisting his body, wanting to escape immediately.
"Crack!"
In the end, the tortoise shell platform exploded. Two inexplicable laws intertwined in the void, striking toward the siblings Gu Fei and Gu Lin.
"Swish!"
In that instant, the two disappeared!
Ye Fan appeared in their original position. This was a life-substitution technique, prepared in advance. If an accident occurred, Ye Fan would bear the punishment in their place.
Two soft sounds came. Two blood lines appeared on Ye Fan's forehead, spreading like cracks down to his chin. They were very long, and blood dripped down.
At this moment, everyone's expression changed!
Even the grinning Huahua's face changed drastically. He stared at the divine child, then looked at Ye Fan. "Master, are you alright?"
"It's nothing!" Ye Fan circulated his profound art, repairing his Immortal Platform. The blood marks disappeared. But everyone had seen the golden blood just now—it was shocking.
What was this child's origin? Trying to calculate him actually injured Ye Fan. It was simply inconceivable.
If Gu Fei and Gu Lin had borne the punishment themselves, they would surely have been reduced to ashes by now!
Even the veteran Qi Luo felt his hair stand on end. Just a child, and calculating his past and origins produced such powerful backlash, terrifying to the extreme.
In this world, ancient great emperors could not be divined, immortals could not be divined. Otherwise, calamity would surely strike.
Of course, there were other taboo things as well. They could not be speculated upon, or great disaster would befall.
"Whose child is this? Could he really have fallen from the Immortal Domain?" Everyone was uncertain.
Ye Fan, now comparable to a Great Sage, had been injured when bearing the punishment for Gu Fei and Gu Lin. That was enough to illustrate the problem.
It was a long time before people calmed down.
"Don't bully me. I... I'm very powerful!" the little fat boy said.
Smack!
Ye Fan slapped his little bottom again, of course without force. This made him jump up in anger. Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
Gu Fei and Gu Lin had laid down array platform after array platform, gradually reaching the Big Dipper. Moreover, they had calculated the coordinates of Heavenly Village, so they could return along the original path.
Everyone withdrew from the Big Dipper in a great retreat, traveling all the way until they reached Heavenly Village, very smoothly.
"We've finally returned!" Everyone sighed with emotion.
In the village, a group of children ran over. Many elderly people appeared excitedly at the village entrance. It was very lively.
"This journey will have unknown dangers. You must be careful!" the Killing Saint Qi Luo cautioned.
Ziwei, that star domain was not a simple place. There were many legends, considered an Emperor Star. It was said that the ancient Heavenly Court might have stayed there for a long time.
Although Ye Fan and the others were very powerful now, they still needed to be careful. If they encountered something of unclear origin, even people or things from the Heavenly Court era wouldn't be surprising.
After all, this was a great era. The Immortal Path was about to open. All kinds of ox-headed and ghost-faced things might appear!
When everything was settled, Ye Fan picked up the little fat boy, brought Ye Tong, and set out with Li Tian and Yan Yixi. They stood on the Divine Light Platform and advanced toward the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain!
"I hope to see Little Nannan soon..." Ye Fan was determined. He had to find her, no matter how much trouble he encountered, he would see it through to the end.
"I hope the ancient Heavenly Court is truly in the Ziwei Star Domain." Li Tian was also full of anticipation, while Yan Yixi was much more indifferent.
