The front still showed a sky full of stars, but when Zhou Qing turned it over, a complete mountain landscape appeared on the back!
"Is this the formation diagram of the Kunlun Grand Formation? Sure enough, a path to survival has been revealed within it, leading directly to the deepest part of the land of immortality!" Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief after examining it carefully.
With the array diagram in place, entering the core area of Kunlun and retrieving the Immortal Cauldron will be truly unimpeded.
The Zhou family patriarch also glanced at the mountain map and then said, "As expected of the Heavenly Court of the Mythical Era, one can see how glorious that era was just from this mountain map."
Finally, they set off, heading deeper into the land of immortals.
Meanwhile, outside, Ye Fan and the others embarked on their journeys home.
City B is an incredibly prosperous city, with skyscrapers rising in the glow of the sunset, as if edged with gold.
In this country, City B can be considered the second largest city in the world. It is bustling with people and filled with skyscrapers.
Ye Fan stood by a natural lake, somewhat lost in thought.
He couldn't find a trace of the past. If he weren't so familiar with this road, he would have thought he had come to the wrong place and that everything had changed.
This place should have been a suburb, but because his parents didn't like the fast-paced city life, even though Ye Fan had a big house in the city, he was ultimately unable to bring his parents to live there.
"Everything has changed. In just ten years, earth-shattering changes have taken place."
People often say that when they finally come back after being away from home for many years, things have changed, but now even things have changed. He stood silently for a long time.
This area has been redeveloped, and now he doesn't know where to look for them anymore.
Ye Fan walked beside the lake, which has now been developed into a large park.
In a daze, he seemed to see a familiar figure fishing by the lake, and suddenly, the person's fishing rod vibrated.
"Haha, I caught a big fish!"
The figure was reeling in his fishing rod while laughing heartily. Ye Fan took a step forward and quickly arrived beside the figure, saying, "Dad."
As soon as Ye Fan opened his mouth, the figure suddenly disappeared. There was no one in front of Ye Fan, only a fallen leaf drifted down in front of him.
Ye Fan remained silent, left the area, and continued walking through the neighborhood, entering and exiting many residential areas.
This area should have been a villa district. His parents used to live in a villa, which he bought for them with the money he earned in the three years since graduation. Although land in City B is extremely valuable, the cost of a villa was nothing to him.
However, this villa area is no longer there; instead, it has been replaced by residential communities, with countless high-rise buildings standing all around, blocking out the sky.
Moreover, there are very few pedestrians on the road; he hasn't seen many people so far.
Half a day later, he suddenly saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar.
"Huh? Is this Uncle Liu's daughter?" Ye Fan was suddenly startled and followed after her.
She was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and you could still vaguely see what she looked like when she was a child. When he left Mount Tai, this little girl was only six or seven years old, but now she had grown into a beautiful young woman.
Ye Fan hadn't figured out how to start the conversation yet, and his feelings were quite complicated. He followed her all the way, and gradually, the girl's speed increased, but she still couldn't shake off Ye Fan.
"Who are you! Why are you following me!"
After encountering a security guard, the girl quickly ran to his side, turned around, and looked at Ye Fan warily.
Ye Fan was still wearing Beidou's clothes and had his long hair down, which looked very strange to outsiders, let alone to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Moreover, Ye Fan was always following behind her, so how could people not be suspicious?
"Young man, why are you following someone? Tell me!" The security guard saw Ye...
Fan's strange behavior immediately put him on alert, and he shouted loudly.
Ye Fan remained silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions. It wasn't until the two people opposite him were about to lose their patience that he finally spoke: "You must be Liu Qian, Uncle Liu's daughter. I wonder if you still remember me."
Liu Qian was startled when she heard Ye Fan call her name. She stared at Ye Fan's face carefully, then shook her head and said, "I don't know you. Who are you? Tell me your name and why you're following me."
Ye Fan sighed inwardly. Although it had only been ten years since he left, she was not very old back then, and Ye Fan did not often live in this villa area. He spent most of his time working in the city, so he actually saw her very few times.
Moreover, having cultivated to this level, he had already undergone several transformations, and his appearance had changed somewhat. Although not much, the little girl might not recognize him anymore.
"Could I meet with Uncle Liu? I'd like to ask him about some things from the past," Ye Fan said.
Liu Qian looked at him with a puzzled expression. She had to admit that this man was really handsome and had a special, ethereal quality that made her young heart feel a little fond of him.
In addition, the man's attitude seemed sincere, and he was so good-looking that he didn't seem like a bad person. So, Liu Qian agreed almost unconsciously: "Then come with me. My dad should still be home."
Upon hearing Liu Qian's answer, Ye Fan immediately walked forward.
However, the security guard suddenly stopped him, took out a rectangular special device with a screen, and said meticulously, "During this special period, please have your temperature taken. Also, please extend your hands so we can disinfect them."
Ye Fan didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he readily extended his hands.
Ye Fan was then allowed inside and went to Liu Qian's doorstep with her.
"Dong dong dong."
After a knock, an old man opened the door.
"Qian'er is back!" the old man said with a smile.
Suddenly, he noticed another person next to his daughter, and looking up, he saw a somewhat familiar face.
The old man froze, his mouth slightly open, and he stammered, "You, you are, the son of the Ye family?!"
Ye Fan nodded and said, "I'm back, but this place seems to have been reorganized. I don't know where my parents moved to, so I came to ask you."
Hearing their conversation, Liu Qian looked puzzled. Her father actually knew this person, and judging from their conversation, they seemed to have been quite familiar with each other before.
Uncle Liu stood there for a long time, wiping his eyes. The scene before him was exactly the same. He finally believed it: the young man who flew away from Mount Tai ten years ago had really returned.
Although the people on Mount Tai kept it a secret back then, many people still saw it. He was also very moved, thinking what a fine young man Old Ye's son was, but he was gone just like that, taken away by the nine dragons.
Therefore, ever since then, he has come to believe that there are some things in this world that one really has to believe, and that there may really be gods in the world.
Seeing Ye Fan standing alive in front of him now filled him with a storm of emotions. He stammered, "Come in, come in. Whatever you want to ask, I can tell you."
Uncle Liu talked to him a lot, telling him that this area was actually only fully planned a few months ago.
Ye Fan's parents moved away before the area was properly planned, saying they wanted a change of scenery to avoid being reminded of their painful memories.
His parents hadn't moved out of City B, but were in another district. Uncle Liu was still in contact with his parents and had told him their new address.
Finally, after saying goodbye, Ye Fan arrived at District P of City B. This was a suburban area with a beautiful environment, featuring mountains and water.
Ahead lies an old courtyard house, surrounded by woodland and an artificial lake, much like the environment it once was.
Ye Fan descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard, shouting, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
"boom!"
A door was violently flung open, and a figure that Ye Fan had longed for for ten years stepped out.
“Xiao Fan, it really is Xiao Fan!” An elderly man with gray hair walked out, stopped in place, his chest heaving, his heart surging like a turbulent sea.
Chapter 306 Zhang Wenchang's Confusion
In the living room, Ye Fan opened a jade gourd, poured two glasses of wine, and the refreshing aroma filled the room, deeply moving his father who was sitting opposite him.
"This is a celestial wine I brought back from the Big Dipper. It was brewed by cultivators and nurtured by their magical power, making it much more fragrant and mellow than ordinary wines."
Afterwards, Ye Fan took out some strange ornaments, including a string of everlasting beads that had been washed clean and polished to remove any superficial luster, and an amulet carved from a celestial demon relic... all of which could prolong life.
"These are some small ornaments I brought back from Beidou. If you carry them with you, they can help you maintain your health, ward off all kinds of diseases, and live longer."
Ye Fan's parents were very surprised. Both the wine and the jewelry were too special and obviously not ordinary items.
Not to mention the radiant beads, even the wine gourd is made of flawless mutton fat jade. If it were put on the market, it would definitely cause a sensation and fetch an astronomical price.
"Xiao Fan, where have you been all these years?" Ye's father asked.
"Yes, you went to a class reunion back then, but you were dragged away by nine dragons. What have you been through all these years, and how did you get back to Earth?" Ye's mother took Ye Fan's hand and gently stroked it. The longing in her eyes made Ye Fan's heart tremble.
"After I was taken away by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, I first landed on Mars, where I encountered the Crocodile Ancestor from Buddhist legend. Many of my classmates died there. It was a great struggle to leave Mars and, after traversing the distant starry sky, we arrived at an ancient star called the Big Dipper."
Ye Fan recounted some of the things he had encountered over the years, describing some in detail and others in a rough manner. For example, he mostly glossed over the fights and killings he had done.
My time with BeiDou was filled with joy, worry, unforgettable moments, and profound experiences, but overall, life with BeiDou was not difficult.
He didn't have enemies all over the world, and not many people were targeting him, because as soon as he arrived in Beidou, he was backed by a powerful ancient family, and he cultivated in seclusion for a long time until he truly emerged to experience the world after entering the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
As for the Demon Emperor's Ancient Tomb and cultivating with the Demon Emperor's Heart, those were only temporary experiences. Most of the time, he was in seclusion cultivating.
He was already a dazzling new star in the Eastern Wilderness from the moment he was born. After several battles arranged by the elders of the Zhou family, he defeated several holy sons, and his fame spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness. People in the world were in awe of him.
Especially during that period, although the God Lord left Beidou, his name still weighed heavily on the heads of the various powerful figures in the Eastern Wilderness. Even if someone was dissatisfied with him, they dared not ask their elders to deal with him. This allowed him to fight against the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness and establish a formidable reputation.
Ye's parents listened quietly. From Ye Fan's narration, they gradually saw a more vast world, a world where immortals could fly and burrow underground, where great demons roamed the heavens and earth, and where ancient races had been hidden for countless years.
That was a world of immortals, or so they thought.
In fact, seeing that Ye Fan could conjure objects out of thin air, and seeing that the wine and ornaments were clearly not ordinary items, they all had some guesses in their hearts.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Ye's mother looked at her child with heartache.
Tears streamed down her face.
"So, you've met a benefactor. If it weren't for that god, your life might not be as smooth as it is now, and you wouldn't be able to return to Earth today," Ye's father said softly.
After listening to Ye Fan recount his experiences in the universe, Ye's father couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude towards the god he had never met.
Such a family with a long history, such a powerful immortal, yet he was willing to spend so much effort to raise his child.
Although he knew that Ye Fan was chosen because of his strong talent for cultivation, he could not ignore the help Ye Fan had received over the years.
In fact, their health has been deteriorating over the years, and sometimes they would involuntarily shed cloudy tears while sleeping at night.
They also kept a diary, a habit they developed after Ye Fan left. Whenever they thought of Ye Fan, they would write it down to express their longing.
"Dad, Mom, I must have left you a lot of money back then. You should have taken over my house, car, and savings, right? But why are you living in such poverty now?" Tears welled up in Ye Fan's eyes as a question arose in his heart.
Although he only worked for three years after graduation, he had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, enough to support his two elderly parents for several generations.
Even after ten years, with rising prices and inflation, their wealth would be enough for them to enjoy their retirement.
But now, seeing the furniture in the house and this courtyard, he realized the living conditions of the two elderly people; this shouldn't be their standard of living.
“We donated all the money you left behind to an orphanage, thinking that we could use your money to help more children. It’s a good deed, and maybe God will take pity on us and bring you back from the universe,” Mr. Ye said, his voice somewhat low.
Ye Fan sighed softly. He understood his parents, but now that he was back, he would naturally make sure they had a better life.
"It's alright. I have a lot of ancient jade. I can easily sell a few pieces for a sky-high price at an auction house. Making money is very easy for me. I'll find an auction house to consign them for auction tomorrow," Ye Fan said.
Afterwards, Ye Fan invited his father to taste a sip of the immortal wine he had brought back. Just one sip made Ye's father's face turn red, his vital energy overflow, and his whole body exuded fragrance.
Ye's mother couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Old man, how come your alcohol tolerance has suddenly become so low? You got drunk after just one sip? Your son is right in front of you, it's so embarrassing."
