Ye Fan based his conclusions on mythical stories, coupled with some understanding of ancient tomes, through his own imagination.

Lan Jing's mother is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Bird, while this woman is the Jiuyou Fire Bird, and the two women were once sisters. As for the human legend that they were both attendants of the Yellow Emperor, that is debatable. But no matter how one says it, Lan Jing indeed has a father, but who this person is, Ye Fan couldn't find out.

"You?" Jiuyou Su Girl looked at Ye Fan, unable to understand how Ye Fan could know about her and Lan Jing's mother's identity.

She was complacent and certainly did not want to ask a lowly mortal when she had doubts, but it seemed only Ye Fan could help her find answers.

Ye Fan said, "If you don't ask, senior, please leave!"

Jiuyou Su Girl sneered, "Mortal, do you think I will let you go so easily? I can imprison you, slowly torture you, and then force you to tell everything you know!"

"Then feel free to try, senior." Ye Fan said confidently and smiled, "But I must remind you, senior, the reason I know about you and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman is that I have the ability to communicate with spirits. I can talk to the souls of all things in heaven and earth, so it's not that I know, but that I can ask them. If you torture me, who will tell me what you want to know?"

Jiuyou Su Girl scrutinized Ye Fan, and with her nearly mighty power, it was easy to detect that Ye Fan had two Nascent Souls within him, one being his true self, and the other formed with a very strange Spiritual Artifact.

Although Jiuyou Su Girl was knowledgeable, she did not know about the Tongling Mirror and thus didn't know how Ye Fan communicated with ghosts and spirits.

"You're saying the Mysterious Woman is already dead, and you can communicate with her to get me answers?" Jiuyou Su Girl frowned.

"Yes." Ye Fan nodded.

"Why should I believe you?" Jiuyou Su Girl shouted angrily.

"Then, senior, you can give it a try, and if I don't have this ability, you can deal with me as you wish!" Ye Fan said.

Jiuyou Su Girl sneered with disdain, "How interesting could it be to deal with a mortal like you? Would you be idle and crush ants for fun?"

Ye Fan thought, you're not even truly mighty, yet you talk so provokingly. You better hope I don't surpass you in cultivation one day, so you learn what respect for elders is!

"Well then, senior, do you want to ask or not?" Ye Fan said.

"Fine, then I ask you, do you know where the Mysterious Woman hid the Divine Artifact she brought with us to this world?" Jiuyou Su Girl glared at Ye Fan and asked.

At this moment, the armed police downstairs sensed no movement upstairs and suddenly initiated a raid. But they hadn't reached the sixteenth floor yet when they were pushed away by an explosive force of Spiritual Energy, with many injured as they were thrown down the stairs.

"Truly overestimating one's abilities!" Jiuyou Su Girl scoffed, "But mortals love doing such overestimating things. Brat, if you also spout nonsense, I'll crush you in no time!"

Ye Fan had to use the Tongling Mirror to ask Lan Jing's mother, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, "Auntie, could you inform me of the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact?"

The Mysterious Woman said, "I don't care how you know my identity, but I won't tell her such things!"

"But don't you care that your daughter might lose her most precious chance of survival?" Ye Fan queried through the Tongling Mirror, "We aren't her match now, and she can easily kill us. While the Divine Artifact is just an object for you, isn't your daughter more important?"

The Mysterious Woman was stunned by the question, hesitated for a while, but said nothing.

Jiuyou Su Girl shouted, "Brat, have you contacted that woman yet? Is she willing to reveal it?"

"Senior is truly impatient, but I'm asking right now and may soon have an answer," said Ye Fan.

Jiuyou Su Girl observed Ye Fan, wanting to know if Ye Fan was feigning communication with the Mysterious Woman or truly conversing with her. She wanted to watch Ye Fan's communication method but saw that Ye Fan merely closed his eyes without any movement. She suddenly realized that even with her cultivation, she couldn't communicate with a soul; how could this kid have such a miraculous ability?

"You brat, are you deceiving me? Watch me kill you all!" Jiuyou Su Girl thought she had been conned and was about to start killing.

At this moment, worried about her daughter Lan Jing's safety, the Mysterious Woman quickly told Ye Fan something, and Ye Fan raised his hand and said, "Senior, wait. Is the Divine Artifact one of the Creator's artifacts?"

"You... what else do you know?" Jiuyou Su Girl lowered her raised hand.

"I also know that this Divine Artifact is the energy source that initially created the entire Milky Way. However, it is now placed in the central black hole of the Milky Way, so if you're looking for it, you shouldn't stay on Earth. Because this Divine Artifact is far too powerful for a minor place like Earth to handle," Ye Fan said.

Jiuyou Su Girl's expression changed, and what Ye Fan said seemed plausible. She only needed to travel once to the center of the Milky Way to know if it was true.

But even with her cultivation, traveling through the universe wouldn't be very fast. The Milky Way has a diameter of one hundred thousand light-years, and even light would take tens of thousands of years. Even if she could traverse through time and space, it would take at least ten days or even several months for a round trip.

"Then I ask you the second question: who is this girl's father?" Jiuyou Su Girl pointed to Lan Jing and asked.

This question concerned not only Jiuyou Su Girl but also Ye Fan, Lan Jing, Wu Ding, and Li Zhaojun.

Lan Jing's heritage was peculiar; she seemed like a soul body, similar to Little Purple Crystal, gaining consciousness through the accumulation of power, and finally gaining a human female body through her mother. But Lan Jing indeed has a father.

Ye Fan said, "Senior and the Mysterious Woman are sisters, how could you not know this?"

"We are indeed sisters, but only as beast spirits— I don't know who the child in her belly is fathered by. Logically speaking, whether mortals, immortals, or those vaunting their mighty power, none could allow her to bear children, for she's a beast spirit, like me!" Jiuyou Su Girl seemed somewhat angry.

Ye Fan thought to himself, is this woman envious, jealous, and resentful because the Mysterious Woman can have a daughter while she can't, so she wants to know what's going on?

In mythological stories, Jiuyou Su Girl was the Yellow Emperor's mentor and was very proficient in bedroom techniques, but now it seems that's just a legend.

"Then, senior, please wait a while." Ye Fan closed his eyes again to inquire of the Mysterious Woman.

This time, the Mysterious Woman replied simply: "Even if my daughter is in danger, I won't tell her this."

"Why refuse directly, auntie? Even a lie, she might not find out," Ye Fan replied.

"Lie?" The Mysterious Woman, like her daughter, always treated people with sincerity, wouldn't speak of things she didn't want to, and wouldn't lie, because beings of her ancient power felt lying was unnecessary. I created the heavens and earth, why would I need to tell lies?

Ye Fan didn't explain in detail. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiuyou Su Girl and said, "Senior, I've asked clearly; Lan Jing's father is a person named Yellow Emperor!"

"Yellow Emperor? Who is that?" Jiuyou Su Girl shouted coldly.

Ye Fan shrugged, "That's Lan Jing's father. As for who specifically, only you, senior, can investigate!"
