Chapter 220
Chapter 220: Bright and Young Peach; Found at Last!
[After a month]
Starting from the Xuan Domain, several major domains aside from the Hong Domain where Yue Mingkong was present were all searched by Gu Changge's people.
During this search, Gu Changge found many cultivators with high Fortune.
Although they had nothing to do with the Favoured Son of Heaven, they could be regarded as fortunate people.
Under his order, it actually made the Taixu Sect's momentum grow stronger, and the news of the disciples' acceptance was widely spread, even reaching the rest of the domains.
As a result, there was talk about how the Supreme Immortal wanted to accept disciples and take them to the Upper Realm, which attracted countless Young Geniuses and even some cultivators of the older generations.
Gu Changge didn't bother to correct anything, not even showing up.
Things kept getting chaotic, making it difficult for people to see his true purpose.
After all, he was aiming to fish in troubled waters.
As a result, there was a rumour that the Supreme Immortal had a withdrawn and indifferent personality, and only extremely talented Young Supreme could enter his eyes.
At this time, Gu Changge decided to visit Tian Domain which was the farthest from the Xuan Domain.
From his perception, he could easily see the Dragon Veins converging at the centre of the Tianchen Realm.
He couldn't find the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor in the other domains, which was not surprising at all. On the contrary, he felt there was a great possibility of the Human Ancestor appearing in the Tian Domain.
Although this search method was slow, it was more meticulous than others and there were fewer flaws in it.
On the other hand, he was also paying close attention to Yue Mingkong's whereabouts, wondering if she had any news regarding the Human Ancestor. However, even she, just like him, had found nothing.
Instead, she was nearly discovered by the forces of the Upper Realm in her explorations.
In the end, it was Gu Changge who stepped in and prevented her from being discovered.
All these made Gu Changge slightly sigh.
'Mingkong... this stupid lass, did she really think she's invincible if she has knowledge of the future?'
'By her little tricks, forget about dealing with the Human Ancestor, I'm afraid she can't even find him.'
'On the contrary, it will just put her in a very dangerous situation.'
Gu Changge felt that after returning to the Upper Realm, he had to make sure Yue Mingkong starts using her brain and let her understand one more thing:
"If there's anything, you have to discuss it with your husband first, and only do things after he agrees."

[Somewhere in Tianchen Realm]
Soon, after many twists and turns, passing through many teleportation arrays, Gu Changge's figure appeared here.
He was still alone, not intending to carry a large group of people with him. Their use was not even as good as a Great Sacred Realm puppet he was thinking of using.
Soon, the void distorted.
A tall, sallow-faced puppet that looks no different from an ordinary person appeared beside Gu Changge and respectfully addressed him, "Master."
"It is perfectly adequate as a servant." Gu Changge nodded slightly.
Seeing the servant of the Great Sacred Realm, the cultivators and creatures in the entire Tianchen Realm would be frightened.
Then this pair of master-slave left this place and went to a crowded one.
Tian was different from the rest of the domains. The average Realm of cultivators here was much higher. The Sacred Lands of the other domains can only act as first-rate and second-rate forces in the Tian Domain.
Not long after arriving in Tian Domain, he was preparing to find a place to stay first.
Gu Changge suddenly heard the system's message prompt,
[Ding! Triggered the Samsara Favoured Son of Heaven's questline. Hints available!]
[Would you like to accept?]
Gu Changge had a strange expression as nodded, "Accept."
'It seems that as my Fortune Value increases, the range for detecting Favoured Son/Daughter of Heaven also increases.'
'Of course, the more likely reason is that my location is not very far from the character in this questline.'
As Gu Changge accepted the prompt...
Buzz!
The scene before his eyes became blurred.
The scene opened with a colourful and splendid peach tree in the middle of a chaotic ocean, as thick and monstrous Heavenly Thunder Tribulation struck down with a shocking momentum, shaking the earth.
In the end, this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation turned into an amazing vision resembling the river of stars.
Every ray of lightning seemingly carried the might to split up the heavens and tear apart the universe, extremely terrifying.
And this peach tree, welcoming the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, sank into it as if undergoing a transformation.
Finally, the picture changed.
The vision here disappeared, and the peach tree was scorched and tattered as if it had lost its vitality and fell from the universe.
And there was a cloud of light wrapped around it, falling down to a vast unknown place.
"A baby girl?"
Gu Changge could clearly see that the misty light was enveloping a little baby girl.
This made him frown.
When he saw this peach tree, he first remembered the peach tree in Peach Village where Gu Xian'er came from.
'After all, according to the Heavenly Destiny template of Xian'er, that peach tree must have an extraordinary origin, and perhaps it is not necessarily an Offering Spirit from the Immortal Period.'
Gu Changge had never doubted this.
Now, seeing this vision, especially the mysterious baby girl, made Gu Changge wonder...
'Samsara Favoured Son of Heaven obviously refers to the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor.'
'Does this mean...this mysterious baby girl has something to do with the Human Ancestor?'
Soon, Gu Changge had a faint guess in his mind.
"Of course, I need to make sure."
He laughed, his expression a bit deep.
Boom!
With the puppet, his figure crossed this area and headed for the nearby Ancient City.
At the same time, in his eyes, all the Fortunes of the terrain were revealed.
In this way, Gu Changge could narrow the scope.
'According to the vision by the system, the mysterious baby girl should have landed in this place.'
'Since it is related to the Reincarnation of Human Ancestors, she must be very young.'

[In a remote village named Beishin Village]
"Grandma, Big Brother... he hasn't come back. It's been a year already."
"Do you think he forgot about Yaoyao?"
A little girl with crocheted hair and dirt on her face was looking at the Village Head and asked the old woman next to her, who had a stooped figure and silver hair.
The little girl's clothes were very old.
Many places were patched, but they were very clean, and her eyes were black, like the most flawless and purest gems.
Her face was deliberately smeared with dirt, and she looked no older than 4 or 5 years old.
But everyone in the village who was familiar with the little girl knew that her true age was more than just 4 or 5 years old.
The little girl was very sensible and pitiful.
She got a strange disease. For so many years now, she hadn't been able to grow at all and her appearance also hadn't changed.
"How is it possible? Even if Big Brother forgets everyone, he can't forget Yaoyao!"
"You don't have to worry about it!"
"Big Brother was just taken away by the cultivator, and he will soon return after learning. By then, he will also be a cultivator that can fly to the sky, so he can take you everywhere and eat a lot like Apple Candy and many delicious things."
The old woman said to the little girl with a kind smile upon hearing this.
"Umm, then I'll listen to grandma and wait for Big Brother in the village to come back."
"Wait for him to take me to fly like a cultivator and eat delicious food."
The little girl named Yaoyao nodded her head very cleverly and sensibly, but she couldn't help but glance at the entrance of the village again, showing a look of sadness.
For so many years, it was her Big Brother who was taking care of her sick grandma and her.
Now after being favoured by experts and taken to practice. It has been almost a year, but there was still no news from him.
Although she seems to be young, she actually understands everything in her heart. Every once in a while, she comes to the village entrance. Apart from missing him, she was also worried about her Big Brother.
The outside world was very dangerous. Although her Big Brother was taken away by an expert, there's no guarantee it'll be safe.
She has heard a lot of stories about the world of cultivation since she was a child, and it is not uncommon for cultivators to kill people and take away treasures without any mercy.
"Don't worry about your Big Brother Yaoyao. That expert said that he is from Xianlun Sacred Land."
"And your Big Brother's physique is very powerful in the world of cultivation, and he's being trained vigorously by the sect. He should be busy with cultivation, so he doesn't have time to come back to see us."
Seeing the little girl's saddened expression, the old silver-haired woman couldn't help smiling, comforting her.
She first found her under a splendid peach tree that was blooming brightly.
At that time, wrapped in a layer of light, and looking very extraordinary.
But it was more like she was abandoned there.
The peach was in full bloom.
At that time, seeing the scene in front of her, she named her Yaoyao after adopting her.
She had been taking care of her for so long, but Yaoyao stayed at the age of four or five, never growing up.
This made the silver-haired old woman helpless, but it didn't have the slightest effect even after trying many methods.
It seemed as if the heavens had played a joke on this little girl.
Yaoyao was also very sensible and never let her worry.
The other child she adopted was also a good fighter.
One year ago, he was favoured by an expert of Xianlun Sacred Land who happened to pass here and was brought for training.
Thinking of this, the old woman's smile deepened.
Tremblingly, she led the little girl to the house.
The terrain of Beishan Village was remote, with a mountain to the north. From time to time, Demonic Beasts would come out and make chaos in the village.
To the south was a large desert, where bandits were often seen ransacking the villages for meat and spirit stones.
All villages suffered greatly from it.
Otherwise, the old woman would not have smeared dirt on Yaoyao's face; she was afraid that the frenzied bandits would notice.
The little girl, Yaoyao, followed her grandmother, greeting village acquaintances as she walked home.
The villagers were also quite fond of this well-behaved and obedient little girl.
Rumble!
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes shook the sky suddenly resounding outside the village, like a galloping army.
The momentum was shocking and terrifying.
From afar, one could see a terrible Qi rising from the sky.
"It's the bandits! The bandits are rushing towards the village, women, children and the elderly, hurry back to the house, do not show yourself."
"Damn it! Didn't we just hand in the Spirit Stones? Why are these bandits coming again?"
"This group of rebellious robbers! Everyone take up their weapons!'
This scene stunned everyone in Beishan Village.
Everyone responded quickly; their complexion changed drastically, extremely pale and shouts for the elderly and weak to hide back were heard.
The young and middle-aged and some people who have cultivated took up arms and gathered at the entrance of the village.
It was normal for bandits to ransack the villages. There was no way they'd come to talk about friendship.
"Grandma, the bandits are here again..."
Yaoyao's face also showed a little fear.
The bandits were notorious for killing people without batting an eyelid.
"Don't be afraid Yaoyao, grandma is here."
At this time, the silver-haired old woman was much calmer, holding Yaoyao's hand tightly, and said comfortingly.
However, there was still a hint of worry in her eyes. After all, judging from the momentum, this group of bandits seemed different from the previous ones.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sky full of yellow sand.
At the entrance of Beishan Village, a large group of bandits riding fierce beasts were rushing here.
The bandits sitting on the fierce beasts were extremely aggressive, with terrifying murderous intent, gleaming brilliance, and cold faces.
The aura was powerful and the Qi was amazing, far beyond ordinary people and cultivators, ordinary bandits can't have this kind of aura at all.
This can only be attained after killing a mountain of people and spilling a sea of blood.
"This... how is this possible?"
"They are... the Black Wind Bandit!"
"Black Wind Bandit... they are the most powerful bandit in the vicinity. Many of the Great Sect forces that came to attack them were ruthlessly killed by them!"
"It is said that their leader is in the Heavenly God Realm."
"Why? How could Black Wind Bandit come to our village?"
Recognizing the identity of this group of bandits, all the villagers in Beishan Village were stunned, and their faces turned pale with fright.
Some people were even worse, and their legs went limp and they fell to the ground.
Just now, the group of villagers who were still holding weapons, went to confront this group of bandits. At this time, there was no courage.
Just this monstrous Qi and Vitality would drown them and make them suffocate.
Some people were so timid that their eyes rolled over and they directly fainted on the ground, not able to bear the fluctuations.
"Black Wind Bandit, how come are they here? Although it's just a bunch of them, how can ordinary villagers resist them?"
The expression of the silver-haired old woman also changed slightly, a little bit unbelievable and shocking.
"Grandma, they all said that the head of the Black Wind Bandits likes to eat people, and he likes to eat children the most..."
There was fear in a pair of Yaoyao's big eyes.
After all, she was just a little girl.
Although she was more sensible than his peers, how can she not be afraid in the face of such murderous and even cannibal bandits?
"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. Those are just made up by adults to deceive you. With grandma here, no one can hurt you."
The silver-haired old woman gritted her teeth slightly, guarding Yaoyao behind her, preventing the group of Black Wind Bandits in the distance from seeing her.
She didn't know why a powerful bandits group like the Black Wind Bandits would send a team to come to remote villages like theirs.
In this neighbourhood, in addition to Beishan Village, there were still Heishi Village, Woniu Village and some other villages.
'Could it be that those villages have also been ransacked?'
'Is there anything worthy of their attention in Beishan Village?'
Just when the thoughts of the old silver-haired woman passed by.
At the entrance of the village, a bandit with a strong aura opened his mouth, with an abominable face, and a scar running through it.
His Cultivation Base had reached the Great-Transcendent Realm, enough to sweep around nearby places and do whatever he wants!
"Let the Village Head of your village come out!"
He said indifferently as if looking at ants.
The many bandits behind him also had a cold expression, sitting on the beast, as if they would slaughter the village if they didn't cooperate.
The villagers in Beishan Village had never seen such a horrible situation before, their faces were pale and bloodless, unable to speak.
Accompanied by a panic.
A trembling old man came out, his expression frightened, and said.
"This old man is the head of Beishan Village, I greet the sirs!"
He was the head of Beishan Village.
When he was young, he practised a little but damaged his foundation, and then returned to the village and served as the Village Head.
On normal days, he also instructed the villagers to strengthen their muscles and bones.
But in front of such a fierce Black Wind Bandit, they were all powerless.
"Oh, it turned out to be a cultivator, but what's the use if you don't even reach the Spirit Palace Realm?"
The bandit gave him a glance and sneered.
The old village chief turned white and did not dare to speak back.
Subsequently, the bandit glanced at all the villagers.
He scanned everyone coldly, and slowly said, "Our leader has given an order that all the girls in the nearby villages who are not more than 15 years old must be taken! He wants them all!"
"After three days, I will bring people to get them, if anyone dares to run away or resist, then we will... massacre the village! No one will be left behind!"
There was a hideous crack in the corner of his mouth.
Saying such words, in line with this appearance, has an extremely terrifying deterrent.
Waah!
At this moment, many children were scared and started crying.
Let alone children, at this time, even the adults were terrified.
Someone held their own child tightly, desperate.
Against the Black Wind Bandits, who dares to resist?
Handing over their children? How can anyone be willing?
Although the Black Wind Bandits had a bad reputation over the years, they never saw them capturing children! They also asked for girls under 15 years of age.
This makes many people desperate, thinking of the rumour that the leader of the Black Wind Bandit likes to eat people.
After saying this, the Black Wind Bandits in front of them also left in a mighty manner.
Yellow dust rose because of the great momentum as they rushed to the rest of the village.
Only a group of desperate and frightened villagers in Beishan Village were left behind.
"Why? Damn the Black Wind Bandit, why do they want to steal our children!"
"Even if I die, I won't hand over my child!"
Soon, there were bursts of weeping and unwilling roars of anger.
Many villagers were shouting.
The old Village Head was desperate and sat down on the ground.
Not to mention the Black Wind Bandits, even the ordinary bandits, who were much weaker than them, were not something they could fight against in a small village.
Disobeying the Black Wind Bandits' orders? It would only result in their village being slaughtered, leaving no one.
Escape? Relocation?
In three days, how can a group of ordinary people run away from the Black Wind Bandit riding a fierce beast?
"Grandma, I'm scared"
In Beishan Village, Yaoyao naturally heard the words of the leader of the Black Wind Bandit, her small face stained with mud was a little pale.
Girls under the age of fifteen, doesn't that also include her?
She remembered the rumour that the Black Wind Bandit ate people again and bit her lips tightly in fright.
"I don't want to be eaten..."
"Don't be afraid Yaoyao, no one can take you away when grandma is here."
The silver-haired old woman hugged her tightly, her voice trembling slightly.
The tone was firm as if she had some confidence.
And just after when the Black Wind Bandits appeared in the nearby villages and put forth their demands.
In the place where the Black Wind Bandits were stationed, on a pitch-black mountain with an awe-inspiring aura.
A majestic palace stands tall.
Inside that was the current leader of the Black Wind Bandits.
He was bending over with a humble, flattering face, pointing at the unconscious girls captured below, and reported to the young man above with his hands behind his back, "My Lord, these girls were captured from the nearby villages and cities according to your orders."
"Are you satisfied?
"It's useless, don't hurt them, let them go back."
There was an inexplicable meaning in his tone.
Hearing that, the Black Wind Bandit leader looked a little confused.
'Is he looking for someone?'
But he didn't dare to ask and hurriedly replied, "My Lord, please rest assured, I won't hurt them."
Having said that, he quickly left with the young girls below, not daring to stay for long.
Some time ago, this mysterious young man came to the place he cultivated out of thin air and asked him to do things for him.
At that time, he was shocked, and before he could react, he saw the young man and a servant behind looking at him indifferently and the pressure of the Great Sacred Realm crushed down.
At that time, he was frightened and stupefied, and his Dao Heart almost crumbled.
Regarding the rumours that he was going to eat people, the leader of the Black Wind Bandit was also helpless and bitter.
This rumour, he cannot deny.
The young man ordered him to do so.
And now the entire Black Wind Bandit, except for him, no one knows the existence of this young man.
'Did I guess the wrong location?'
In the Great Hall, after seeing the leader of the Black Wind Bandit go.
Gu Changge frowned and wondered if there was a problem.
Even after narrowing the scope this much, he can't even find a baby girl? This was unacceptable.
'Let's wait a little longer.'
Gu Changge closed his eyes and fell into thought.
These days, the girls caught by the Black Wind Bandits had no Fortune, nor was there anything surprising.
But he believed in his own deduction.
— — —
[Three days later.]
A piece of news made Gu Changge interested...
"A small team sent by the Black Wind Bandit was destroyed."
'I finally found you!'
Gu Changge instantly thought, and he couldn't help but smile.
