After entering the Domain of Great Sorrow, Ye Fan confirmed the direction, and Lan Jing asked, "Where are we going?"
"To the place we went to before, the human city of Tiancheng." Ye Fan determined the direction and was about to fly with his sword.
The Mysterious Woman said, "Young man, I've never heard of Tiancheng, nor have I been there. This human city formed thousands of years after we created the Secret Realm of Pan Gu. How can there be anyone there who can help me?"
"Auntie, just trust me. If I can't help you, I will use my life to protect you and Lan Jing from harm." Ye Fan said resolutely.
With such a promise from Ye Fan, the Mysterious Woman could say no more. The two of them, along with a soul, quickly headed toward Tiancheng.
Several hours later, they arrived above Tiancheng. Ye Fan and Lan Jing walked toward the clothing store where Ye Fan had previously bought clothes. Now, with disasters in the Secret Realm of Pan Gu intensifying, Tiancheng had become a shelter for many people. Even those cultivating immortality gathered there due to the lack of a strong force to manage it, resulting in a place where the weak were preyed upon by the strong, happening in broad daylight without anyone to intervene.
"How can they bully others?" Lan Jing looked, a bit angry.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "This is the way of the world. The so-called world is the survival of the fittest. Whether mortal or cultivator, as long as they can grasp the means to create value, they are accepted by the world; otherwise, they are eliminated."
"Oh." Lan Jing's eyes were filled with confusion because what Ye Fan said was beyond her understanding.
Finally, they reached the clothing store. There were not many customers inside. The common people were struggling to survive, with no money to buy clothes, and immortals would hardly pay for clothes, as a Daoist robe could last for hundreds of years without getting dirty or smelly, since no dust or bacteria could survive around them.
When Ye Fan entered the clothing store with Lan Jing, there was only a graceful girl who asked, "Are you two here to buy clothes?"
"I'm looking for your shopkeeper." Ye Fan said.
The girl was a bit surprised, but the door behind her opened, and she quickly stepped aside. Ye Fan took Lan Jing and the soul of the Mysterious Woman inside.
After passing through the door and a long corridor, they arrived at a very large courtyard, seemingly intended for people to reside in. Ye Fan sensed the changes in his surroundings but couldn't detect any presence of spiritual energy. But he knew the mysterious woman who had asked him to find Lan Jing's mother was inside.
As Ye Fan walked to the main hall of the courtyard, a graceful woman emerged. Her gaze did not fall on Ye Fan but on Lan Jing. She was somewhat incredulous and said, "Why does the power she possesses seem different from before? I seem to sense the presence of the Mother of Mysteries."
Lan Jing asked, "Are you talking about me?"
Ye Fan said, "Lan Jing, you wait here for a moment, I have something to say to this lady."
"Alright. I'll wait for you." Lan Jing trusted Ye Fan completely.
Ye Fan entered the main hall with the woman and then passed through the rear hall, arriving at a sealed chamber brimming with powerful spiritual energy. The woman then said, "You haven't found the person I asked you to look for?"
"I found them." As Ye Fan finished speaking, the soul body of the Mysterious Woman emerged from little Lan Jing, drifting behind Ye Fan.
Ye Fan originally thought that the woman would not be able to see it, but the woman bowed her head directly and greeted, "Your most loyal believer greets Mother of Mysteries!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, in the eyes of her believers, was also seen as the Mother Earth, which is why she was addressed as "Mother of Mysteries." Even the Mysterious Woman was surprised and said, "You can see me?"
The woman remained bowed on the ground and sincerely stated, "Mother of Mysteries, your servant cannot see you, but can feel your presence, for you once created us with your blood and flesh. Now, your servants have dispersed, but I have remained in the Secret Realm, hoping one day to find your whereabouts."
"You have been devoted." The Mysterious Woman said with a tone tinged with helplessness, "Stand up and speak."
She had created some servants with her own blood and flesh for her use, but after creating the Secret Realm of Pan Gu, she retreated to Earth in complete seclusion, no longer managing even her servants. She didn't expect that there would still be a servant searching for her.
"I have searched for you for tens of thousands of years, only to later learn that the body of the Mother of Mysteries had already dissipated, and there was no way in the world to find your presence. I learned that only the Tongling Mirror in this world could locate you, which is why I found Young Hero Ye and asked him to search for you on my behalf." The woman spoke with some excitement. Although she couldn't see where the Mysterious Woman was, she could feel her presence and communicate with her heart.
Only then did Ye Fan understand why the woman initially said only he could locate Lan Jing's mother. It turned out that the woman knew from the start that Lan Jing's mother had become a soul body and that his Tongling Mirror was the only tool that could detect the Mysterious Woman's location.
Ye Fan said, "Didn't Auntie say it was impossible to find her own blood and flesh? Auntie could regain her body using the blood and flesh of the servants she created."
The woman continued to bow and said, "If the Mother of Mysteries wishes to use this servant's body, I am willing to use my blood and flesh as the medium for the master!"
The Mysterious Woman had said that the biggest challenge in restoring her true form was not being able to retrieve her blood and flesh, but now there was someone available, though this might sacrifice the woman's life.
"I cannot harm the beings I have created, because you are innocent." The Mysterious Woman said resolutely.
"Is there no other way?" Ye Fan asked.
The woman suddenly stood up, using her own spiritual energy to break her bloodline, and blood began to pour from her wrist. The Mysterious Woman asked, "What are you doing?"
"If the Mother of Mysteries refuses to use my blood and flesh as the medium, but I now choose to sacrifice myself, if my master does not use it, it would betray my painstaking efforts!" The woman's tone was very firm, and even her spiritual energy was rapidly dissipating.
Ye Fan did not wish to see this happen. He had helped this woman find the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, aiming to gain the ability from the woman to tear through space-time from any location.
But if the woman died, the previous agreement would automatically be voided.
The Mysterious Woman said, "What you're doing is futile. Even if I could restore a human body using your blood and flesh, I would no longer be my original self, and I couldn't guide you because my power has been exhausted!"
The woman remained resolute, "Mother of Mysteries, please use the blood and flesh of your most humble believer to reshape your true form!"
Blood dripped to the ground, the color was very bright red.
Seeing the blood, the Mysterious Woman suddenly felt heartache for her believer. After tens of thousands of years, only this one remained of her believers, but this one person was willing to go through great lengths to have Ye Fan find her, and even sacrifice herself to allow her to regain a human body.
"You've worked hard." The Mysterious Woman, being a soul, couldn't stop the woman from harming herself. She began to use her remaining power to transmute the blood on the ground into a medium to reshape her body.
