# Chapter 842: Netting All the Strongest Physiques
The group felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the huge black hole on the ground, then exchanged glances. This was truly a thunderbolt from a clear sky—strange, mysterious, and leaving one with lingering fear.
The thatched hut had been destroyed, vanished completely, leaving only a pitch-black cave leading deep into the earth.
The Divine Diviner had long seen through life and death. He gazed up at the vast heavens, where endless secrets were hidden, and let out a long breath. He would finally be released, putting an end to all this.
The ancient Great Emperors had all died long ago—there was ample evidence of this in the world. Yet the realms and domains they had touched held countless hidden secrets, obscured by heaven.
The Divine Diviner had merely mentioned a single sentence earlier, without revealing any heavenly secrets, yet it had brought about such terrible consequences. Truly awe-inspiring.
Ye Fan thought of heavenly tribulations, those palace halls like the ancient Heavenly Court, and the human-shaped lightning bolts—all of this stirred boundless imagination.
"Ancestor, don't abandon us two!" Two children stood beside the Divine Diviner, tugging at his arm, their small faces filled with fear.
"You two are spirit children born together—one male, one female; one yang, one yin. You can mutually reduce calamities for each other. As long as you don't meddle in forbidden heavenly secrets in the future, you won't meet disaster." The Divine Diviner was very kind, patting the heads of the two children.
He knew his life was short, impossible to defy heaven and survive. He asked Ye Fan and the others to treat the two spirit children well, saying they would be of great benefit in the future.
If news of the Divine Diviner entrusting his orphans spread to the outside world, it would cause an uproar. Countless major powers would break their heads fighting over them. The two spirit children would become divine masters in the future, capable of divination and deduction of heavenly secrets.
The Old Blind Man's heart stirred. The other party had entrusted the two spirit children to them—he must have divined something, otherwise he wouldn't have done so.
"You want to ask about people, right? This is a minor matter, not considered revealing heavenly secrets. I'll help you divine." The Divine Diviner closed his eyes. When he heard the names Pang Bo, Wu Zhongtian, Dongfang Ye, and others, he began to deduce.
Pang Bo was in a celestial realm, experiencing all kinds of illusory tribulations. If he broke through, there would be a great opportunity—news that delighted Ye Fan.
Dongfang Ye was in a hellish realm, enduring severe trials. One step back meant death; breaking through a hundred gates meant life. Placed in a death ground, survival required an iron will and perseverance.
This left people stunned—one in a celestial realm, the other in a hellish realm. Truly extreme opposites. But both were undergoing tribulations and needed to pass through to survive.
Tu Fei had no life now; he would die for several thousand years, and in the future, few old friends would see him. Hearing this news, everyone's heart sank. The saddest thing in the world was separation by life and death.
Liu Kou was dead, no longer able to appear in the world—a somber realization, powerless to change anything.
When deducing Little Nannan, the Divine Diviner couldn't calculate at all. She had no past, nor any future—her life trajectory was complete chaos.
The Divine Diviner, known for calculating all worldly affairs, was helpless at this moment. He couldn't comprehend the cause and effect and broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
"This person cannot be calculated!"
Then, his face changed instantly. He spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, staining his Dao robe, and quickly cut off the heavenly connection, as if avoiding ghosts and snakes.
Wu Zhongtian and Jiang Huairen still had life, trapped in cages and predicaments. They would eventually meet again—a relief that made everyone exhale.
"Daoist, calculate for me when I'll attain the Dao and become an emperor?" The Big Black Dog was incredibly thick-skinned, stepping forward to seek a divination.
"When you meet an immortal." The Divine Diviner smiled.
"What do you mean? If I even meet an immortal, what use is becoming an emperor?!" The Big Black Dog was furious. Where were there immortals in this world? This clearly meant it couldn't attain the Dao.
"Old man, how many wives and concubines will I have in the future? If it's three palaces and six courtyards, I won't be able to handle it." Li Tian asked with a look of eager concern.
"One is enough." The Divine Diviner said.
"What? Isn't this cheating me? Don't talk nonsense. Are you saying I'll only have one main wife, or that I alone am enough?!" Li Tian's eyes widened in panic.
"Senior, I only want to ask you: can I embark on the return journey and go back to my homeland?" Ye Fan asked solemnly.
"You can." The Divine Diviner nodded, giving an affirmative answer, but after careful thought, he hesitated as if to speak.
"Senior, what do you want to say?" Ye Fan asked. Some things could often predict the beginning but not calculate the ending. He feared some变故.
"The time won't be too distant. You'll know when the time comes." The Divine Diviner said. He could only give a rough calculation; revealing the details of the future would count as leaking heavenly secrets.
Finally, it was time to part. The little brother and sister cried pitifully, heartbroken, unwilling to leave the Divine Diviner. They clung tightly to his arm, refusing to let go.
"The fate is exhausted, like leaves that must wither. If there is reincarnation, we will meet again after a thousand or a hundred lifetimes." The Divine Diviner said softly, imprinting the "Heaven-Stealing Art" into the immortal platforms within their foreheads.
In the end, Ye Fan and the others carried away the two children, bowed to the Divine Diviner, and left this mountain range.
"Boom..."
Not long after they left, a bolt of lightning struck down, connecting heaven and earth, engulfing the area.
"What, is this still lightning?!" They were all stunned.
There was only a single bolt of lightning, yet it was thicker than dozens of mountains combined, stretching from the sky to the ground without dissipating—terrifying and boundless.
"A single-character lightning." The Old Blind Man's expression was grave as he gazed into the distance. Those in this field all wanted to grasp that "one," but it was impossible. Perhaps at the end of life, one might see it and understand all secrets.
They knew there would be no miracle. The Divine Diviner couldn't defy heaven; he couldn't survive. To leave hope for the two children, they resolutely crossed the void and departed, not looking back once.
"Grandpa, Ancestor..." The two children cried heart-wrenchingly, reaching out their small hands backward, but grasping nothing.
They didn't immediately return to Heavenly Village but wandered around many places in Central Province, trying to calm the two spirit children.
Finally, they crossed the void and returned to the Northern Domain.
This was an oasis, lush with vegetation and full of vitality. Over a decade ago, Uncle Zhang Five and their stone village had moved here.
Now, the people of the stone village lived prosperously, no longer as hard as before. Everything was peaceful and harmonious.
A few days ago, they had agreed to gather here. Li Heishui had already arrived first, pulled by Uncle Zhang Five for hearty drinking. Years had passed, and the old man had visibly aged.
When Ye Fan and the others arrived, the stone village buzzed with activity. Many villagers gathered around. Before the bonfire at night, people were everywhere, the aroma of wine and meat wafting through the air, as lively as New Year's.
Ye Fan took out a drop of True Dragon Immortality Medicine to extend the life of mortals like Uncle Zhang Five. He didn't find it a waste. He felt grateful to the Zhang lineage; without their Source Heaven Scripture, he wouldn't have everything he had now.
The biggest changes in the stone village were Wang Shu and Er Lengzi—the ones Ye Fan had appointed as mining supervisors in the past. They had double pupils, their forehead bones glowing, and their blood had turned pure silver.
"Cultivation progressing so fast?" Even Black Emperor was quite surprised. Years ago, it had discovered their mutations and taught them the path of cultivation.
Now, these two had become cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm without any teacher, progressing at a jaw-dropping speed.
They certainly couldn't compare to the people present, but one had to know they started from nothing, with no guidance, groping in the dark on their own.
"Crownless Emperor!" That night, the Monkey also arrived. Seeing the silver blood and various characteristics of the two, he was greatly shocked, grabbing them and questioning them carefully.
The Origin Heavenly Master had brought back two infants in his later years who weren't human. He had sealed their bloodlines with heaven-defying means—these were the ancestors of Wang Shu and Lei Bo.
Ye Fan had heard this from Uncle Zhang Five before and now had him recount it in detail. The Monkey listened, remaining silent for a long time.
In the ancient times, powerful clans stood everywhere. Countless stories of rise and fall existed, and they had grown accustomed to tragedies where great clans ruling the world were wiped out overnight.
Among them was one clan that, through ups and downs, had never produced an ancient emperor but had ruled the world several times, known as the Crownless Emperor.
Their population was sparse, their blood pure silver, possessing terrifying天赋. Once they grew up, they were formidable and powerful. Though they produced no emperors, they never lacked Great Sages, and even the imperial clans dared not provoke them.
Unfortunately, in ancient times, they provoked an existence they shouldn't have. Legend had it they tried to enter the Immortal Mound, and the entire clan was buried as a result.
"Such a big background?" Everyone present was stunned.
The Origin Heavenly Master traveled everywhere. After experiencing misfortune in his later years, his actions became even stranger. He had entered the Immortal Mound, broken into the Divine Ruins, seen ghost soldiers borrowing the road, and brought back two silver-blooded infants—nothing unusual.
"The Origin Heavenly Master truly had ghostly and godly means, retrieving the already extinct Crownless Imperial Clan. Truly shocking." The Monkey looked at the Lei and Wang families in the stone village, his eyes gleaming.
Then he sighed lightly: "Pity, the bloodline has thinned. It can't compare to the silver-blood lineage of the past. Otherwise, it would be a true imperial clan."
But then he turned sharply, fixing his gaze on Lei Bo and Er Lengzi: "Breaking through the bloodline seal, forcibly挣脱 the shackles—this is atavism. It means their blood is as powerful as their ancestors', pure descendants of the Crownless Imperial Clan."
"The people of the stone village are all treasures. Even if the bloodline is thin, they can all unseal it and grow into strong ones." Black Emperor's eyes gleamed. Of course, it wouldn't say this to the villagers. Only Uncle Zhang Five, Wang Shu, and Er Lengzi could understand the truth.
When they returned to Heavenly Village, Qi Luo saw this group. His single eye narrowed into a slit with joy, and then he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Who in the future can compete with our Heavenly Court for the fortune of heaven and earth?!" He stared at the two spirit children, looked at Little Tongtong, gazed at Little Que'er, and then grabbed the two silver-blooded men.
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 invincible under heaven.
A physique identical to the Sun Saint Emperor, plus Little Que'er's bearing of slaughtering all kings, and the two spirit children deducing heavenly secrets to seek good fortune and avoid disaster—who could oppose them?
Of course, if they could keep the Battle Saint Holy Prince and let the Primordial Saint Body also avoid accidents, they would be even more invincible, unafraid of facing all ancient kings in the future.
"Tongtong is an atavistic phenomenon, with the same physique as the Sun Saint Emperor. I heard you have a sister who is a Yin Moon Physique. To find you, she's been in closed-death meditation at the Jiang family. Now that you're back, you can call her out of seclusion. If possible, invite her here for a few days." Qi Luo said, looking somewhat cunning, making people want to slap him.
"You want to net all the strongest physiques under heaven, don't you?" Ye Fan said with irritation.
"Of course! If you're going to do it, be the best under heaven. What we're recreating isn't the ancient assassin divine dynasty, but the true Heavenly Court of myth and legend!" Qi Luo declared.
