“You’ve attracted their attention, this is my chance to look for clues about the Primordial Ancient City! We should split up.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, and he asked, “How do you plan to find clues?”
“Enter the elven territory, searching step by step.” Wang Fan replied.
“Doing so… the risk is too great.” Fang Yu frowned and said, “Let me…”
“No, your current identity wouldn’t allow you to access any relevant clues within the Divine Race territory. You might even alert Ji Wangu… At that point, even if the Primordial Ancient City still existed, Ji Wangu would immediately destroy it, preventing us from obtaining that portion of the inheritance!” Wang Fan stated, “I’ll go first to search for clues. Once I have news, I’ll inform you, and afterwards… we can find a way to reclaim the inheritance!”
Fang Yu looked at Wang Fan, his brows still tightly furrowed.
“Rest assured, the Myriad Divine Shadows Technique will at least keep me safe. If I am exposed, I will immediately withdraw,” Wang Fan said. “Fang Yu, this is our best option for now.”
“The legacy left by the supreme being must be yours, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of outsiders!”
Wang Fan’s tone was full of determination.
Fang Yu knew that Wang Fan’s personality was one that would never back down, nor would he be afraid of death.
Upon seeing Fang Yu, he clearly saw hope.
And to make this hope greater, he must find a way to locate the ancient city of Yuanshi and allow the strongest inheritance left by the Yuanshi Supreme Being…to be successfully inherited by Fang Yu!
“Let’s go our separate ways and keep in touch with our soul imprints,” Wang Fan said.
“Good.” Fang Yu said no more, agreeing.
After the two parties exchanged soul imprints, Fang Yu recalled something and summoned the ball.
The little ball, still looking like a little girl, was taken aback when she saw Wang Fan. She took two steps back and shyly hid behind Fang Yu.
“Yuan, Yuan Ling?”
Wang Fan saw the ball and was shocked.
After he reacted, his right eye turned red again.
“Yuánlíng?” Fang Yu looked at Wang Fan.
“This is the Spirit Infant nurtured by Zhizun’s own immortal power!” Wang Fan said.
“Ling Ying?” Fang Yu’s brow furrowed, completely puzzled.
A baby conceived with fairy power? <<<
In other words, the orb is actually equivalent to the descendants left behind by the Primordial Sovereign?
“You’re right, master,” Jihan Zilei spoke. “A Ling Ying is a living being, but it isn’t born from bloodlines. It’s nurtured with Xianli. Many clans in the myriad domains cultivate their offspring in a similar way.”
“Does this count as the application of the laws of life?” Fang Yu asked.
“Strictly speaking, no,” said the Tears of Frost. “This is a way of bringing forth offspring.”
“You said that, it reminds me of the Ten Thousand Dao Origin Demon… Hua Yan and Hua Zhi seem to be his offspring nurtured in a similar way.” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, he said, “Then why doesn’t Xiao Qiu grow up?”
“The ways in which a spirit infant grows are varied. Perhaps it will never grow at all, or perhaps it could mature in an instant…” replied the Tears of Frost.
“Brother…”
At this moment, the little ball pulled on Fang Yu’s clothes with her tiny hand, burying her head into her chest.
Evidently, she was afraid, even somewhat intimidated by Wang Fan.
“Xiaoqiu, this is Wang Fan. He’s a disciple of your master! You should have met him before, right?” Fang Yu patted Xiaoqiu’s head and said.
The little ball raised its eyes and secretly glanced at Wang Fan.
Wang Fan took a step forward.
The little ball immediately shrank back in fright and said, “I don’t remember!”
“Unexpectedly… the Supreme Being even left the Yuanling behind…” Wang Fan looked at the little ball, his right eye twinkling with tears.
Upon seeing the ball, he was instantly transported back to his younger days, finding it hard to shake off this sudden wave of nostalgia.
If there had been no war with the two demon clans, the human race would surely be flourishing today… The Supreme One would still be here, and all of my fellow disciples as well…
“I named her Xiaoqiu,” Fang Yu said, “Before finding Tiandao Mountain and the ruins of Yuanshi Ancient City, it was all thanks to Xiaoqiu leading the way.”
“The Supreme Being left the Primal Spirit behind… it must be to guide the successor to find his inheritance. It’s a pity… the primordial ancient city was destroyed, and its whereabouts are unknown.” Wang Fan still stared at the ball, tremblingly said.
“Xiaoqiu, he’s really not a bad person. His master is your master too,” Fangyu said. “Think back carefully, his name is Wang Fan.”
The little ball peeked out again, looking at Wang Fan. Its eyes showed fear, but also confusion.
It’s perfectly normal that she wouldn’t recognize me. After all, so many years have passed…Besides, I’m a completely different person now compared to who I was back then. Wang Fan said with a wry smile.

“Yuán Líng’s mind is still that of a child, there is no need to force her. Let her continue to follow you.” Wáng Fán said, “If the Supreme One left her behind, there must be a reason.”
Fang Yu nodded and said, “Yes, Xiaoguo played a big role. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known so much about what happened back then before meeting you.”
“Well, we can’t talk anymore.” Wang Fan said.
