"Understood, Young Master Ye. I will dispatch people to make contact at once," the Reincarnation Palace elder nodded in response.
The members of the Reincarnation Palace now regarded Ye Yunfei as their central figure, treating his words as orders to be carried out.
Turning around, the Reincarnation Palace elder began sending people to contact all the factions willing to assist.
Before long, within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, many forces dispatched their people to search for the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Palace Patriarch and Su Qingluo.
Having seen Ye Yunfei overwhelm and defeat the Dark Ancestor and the Dark Faction, most factions across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds now understood that he had become one of the top experts in this region of spacetime—even arguably the number one.
Consequently, most forces and worlds sought to curry favor and please him.
Now, hearing that Ye Yunfei required their help to find someone, they seized the opportunity immediately, sending out large numbers of personnel to participate in the search for the Reincarnation Palace Patriarch and Su Qingluo.
For a time, all across the scope of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, groups of searchers could be found seeking clues about the two.
Naturally, the vast majority of forces and worlds resembled headless flies, searching at random.
"Hm?"
Within the shattered Reincarnation Realm, at the very location Su Qingluo had vanished, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had been carefully perceiving and deducing. At a certain moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm let out a light exclamation, seemingly having discovered something.
"What is it?"
Immediately, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and Hu Miao, who had been standing nearby, all looked at the silkworm curiously.
"Are you making a fuss? Have you found something?" Hu Miao was the first to ask.
"I just deduced—or rather, sensed—that after Qing Luo was gravely wounded and vanished, someone suddenly used an incredibly profound secret art, producing a mysterious energy that instantly shifted Qing Luo away from her original position. If that's true, then she avoided the combined strike of those Dark Faction Earth Immortals and should be fine," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm explained.
"Really?! If Qing Luo could avoid the combined attack of those Dark Faction Earth Immortals, it's entirely possible she managed to escape successfully!" Hearing this, Ye Yunfei's spirits soared.
During his previous deduction attempt here, Ye Yunfei had seen that after Su Qingluo was severely wounded, over twenty Dark Faction Earth Immortals launched a terrifying combined strike against her. Then the scene was cut off at that moment, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't deduce what happened next.
Ye Yunfei's greatest fear was whether Su Qingluo could withstand such a combined attack from so many Earth Immortals. If not, the outcome might be her body shattered into dust, or even complete annihilation. This was the worst-case scenario, and one he could not accept. Though he had never allowed his thoughts to wander there, and kept telling himself it wasn't so, deep down he knew this possibility existed.
Now, hearing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's words ignited a spark of hope within Ye Yunfei.
"I can't really explain it. It might be a result of my deduction, or just intuition. But for our Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race, even intuition tends to be remarkably accurate. After all, our race possesses an exceptionally sensitive perception of space and surprisingly accurate intuition," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pondered for a moment before speaking.
"That's true. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race is indeed highly sensitive to space. Sometimes, based on intuition alone, they can sense many things," Hun Lao chimed in.
"Let's hope that's the case then. Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, describe carefully what you perceived, then guide Hun Lao and me. The three of us will attempt another round of detailed perception," Ye Yunfei instructed.
"Alright then." The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm nodded. It understood that Ye Yunfei would absolutely not rest until he found Su Qingluo.
Thus, it meticulously described the situation it had deduced and perceived, then guided Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao as they all began their deductions.
Unbeknownst to them, another ten-plus days passed.
"Now we can confirm it. When those twenty-odd Dark Faction Earth Immortals launched their combined attack against Qing Luo, someone suddenly utilized an exceedingly profound and mysterious secret art, generating a burst of mystical energy that instantly shifted Qing Luo's position. It's just that the energy was too mysterious, and we couldn't perceive or track it at all. That's why we couldn't deduce Qing Luo's whereabouts before," Hun Lao summarized after over ten days of their combined efforts yielded several new insights.
"Yes. That energy was indeed extremely profound and mysterious. Precisely that energy blocked off our perception and deduction of Qing Luo," Ye Yunfei concurred.
Guided by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, after repeated perception and deduction over those ten-plus days, Ye Yunfei had finally managed to capture a trace of that mysterious energy that had appeared at the moment of Su Qingluo's disappearance!
This filled Ye Yunfei with both great delight and agitation. A weight lifted from his heart, for this meant Su Qingluo had successfully evaded the combined strike from over twenty Earth Immortals.
"Wonderful! I pray Qing Luo is safe and sound," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, I didn't expect you to have such skills. Not bad," Hu Miao praised. While she often found chances to poke fun at the silkworm, this time she genuinely applauded its effort.
"Of course," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm lifted its head high, replying smugly.
"Strange. I get the feeling that mysterious energy seems related to the Samsara energy of the Reincarnation Palace. Perceive it carefully," Hun Lao suddenly remarked softly at this moment.
"Indeed! That mysterious energy is indeed related to Samsara energy!" Ye Yunfei carefully sensed it again and nodded.
"If so, then the one who unleashed that mysterious energy was most likely the Reincarnation Palace Patriarch, or perhaps even Qing Luo herself!" Hun Lao exclaimed.
"I suggest you go ask the Reincarnation Palace people immediately. Find out if their palace possesses any secret art that allows a quick, temporary escape while evading perception and tracking," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suggested.
"Right! I'll ask them at once!" Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei immediately gathered several Reincarnation Palace elders and posed the question.
"A secret art that allows quick, temporary escape while evading perception and tracking... Our Reincarnation Palace has several profound movement secret arts. Cultivated to a high level, they naturally allow swift flight. Examples include the Lunhui Wangshen Body Technique, the Six Paths of Samsara Body Technique, the Samsara Path Body Technique. Young Master Ye, which one were you inquiring about?" One of the elders listed several body technique names.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't make a judgment.
"Qing Luo was gravely wounded back then, and she faced a combined strike from over twenty Dark Faction Earth Immortals. I doubt ordinary body techniques would have been of use. Moreover, in that state, she likely didn't possess enough strength to execute such techniques," Hun Lao spoke up.
"Could it be... that the Patriarch activated the legendary 'Samsara Three Lives Tablet'? If she employed the Samsara Three Lives Tablet, let alone twenty-some Earth Immortals, even an attack from over twenty Golden Immortals could possibly be avoided!" Another elder suddenly spoke.
"Samsara Three Lives Tablet? What is that?" Hearing this, a flicker of interest stirred within Ye Yunfei.
