With these clues in hand, Ye Tiancheng and his companions headed back.
Their primary destination was the Special Operations Group, as it offered a safer environment. Traveling to other locations would be more time-consuming, and while equally safe, the travel time would be a significant drain on Ye Tiancheng's resources.
Ye Tiancheng prioritized saving time and thus chose the Special Operations Group.
With Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping looking after things there, it was a better option for Ye Tiancheng.
Furthermore, when Ye Tiancheng needed to attend to his own matters, he wouldn't have to worry about his two newly acquired younger brothers, Little Fox and Ye Wuji, being left unattended.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping had no objections to helping Ye Tiancheng.
They agreed to assist Ye Tiancheng in looking after Little Fox and Ye Wuji.
Therefore, upon returning to the Special Operations Group, Ye Tiancheng felt completely at ease. He found a sufficiently secluded and safe place to attend to his own affairs.
Ye Tiancheng's main concern was that enough time had passed, and he could perhaps try to check his progress in collecting the fragments of the Fuxi Qin, to see how many more fragments were needed to complete the divine artifact Fuxi Qin.
This decision was driven by a subtle premonition Ye Tiancheng had.
After finding a sufficiently safe location, Ye Tiancheng proceeded with his attempt.
Unsurprisingly, Ye Tiancheng achieved a result quite smoothly: he had managed to assemble another seemingly complete divine artifact, the Fuxi Qin.
This left Ye Tiancheng with a sense of hesitation.
He recalled a previous instance where he believed he had fully obtained the Fuxi Qin and then traveled to the Pure Land. However, after that journey, not only did he lose the Fuxi Qin, but he also inevitably learned that even if it hadn't been stolen, he hadn't truly obtained the complete Fuxi Qin.
This was because the fragments he possessed were not actually complete.
It was known that at that time, one fragment was in the hands of the ghost fox Azi, and even two fragments were in the possession of Long Miaomiao.
Under such circumstances, how could one claim that Ye Tiancheng had previously assembled the fragments of the Fuxi Qin and obtained the true divine artifact Fuxi Qin?
Yet, at that time, looking at the complete Fuxi Qin in his hands, Ye Tiancheng genuinely did not realize that the Fuxi Qin he held was still not complete.
Therefore, with this past experience as a lesson, even though the Fuxi Qin in his hands appeared very complete now, Ye Tiancheng dared not assert that the Fuxi Qin he possessed was truly complete.
However, to test this, he would need to go to the Pure Land.
Gaining entry to the Pure Land was no longer a simple matter.
It was reasonable to assume that the Pure Land had become much more dangerous under the current circumstances. Moreover, Ye Tiancheng needed to be wary of behind-the-scenes forces discovering something and causing him trouble.
This was a significant concern that weighed on Ye Tiancheng's mind.
Therefore, after conducting his attempt, the first thing Ye Tiancheng did upon leaving was to consult with Little Fox and the others to discuss their next course of action.
However, after their discussion, everyone agreed that to ascertain this, a trip to the Pure Land was necessary for testing. But this was something that absolutely could not be rushed into.
Although the situation for the entire real world was indeed quite critical, it wasn't so dire that they couldn't hold on for a day or two.
It was acceptable for Ye Tiancheng to temporarily set this matter aside, make thorough preparations, and then investigate the Pure Land.
Following this experience, Ye Tiancheng and his companions ultimately decided to shift their focus to the situation with Fatty, whom they hadn't paid much attention to for a considerable time.
Ye Tiancheng had indeed not paid attention to Fatty for a long time.
It wasn't that he didn't care about Fatty, but rather that Ye Tiancheng currently lacked the capacity to manage so many things, with other more important matters demanding his attention. Thus, even if some matters were equally important, they had to be temporarily postponed.
However, now, seeing the progress in collecting the fragments of the Fuxi Qin, Ye Tiancheng felt it was a good time to investigate.
Regarding this, the first person he needed to consult was Helian Sheng.
After all, Ye Tiancheng had largely entrusted this matter to Helian Sheng.
Since the matter had come to mind, Ye Tiancheng and his group set out.
However, something Ye Tiancheng hadn't anticipated occurred: before he even reached his destination, Ye Tiancheng received a message from Helian Sheng en route.
Helian Sheng seemed to have made a new discovery.
He had attempted to contact Ye Tiancheng a few days prior but failed, so he had to wait for Ye Tiancheng to have time before trying again, finally succeeding in reaching him.
Ye Tiancheng was initially surprised that Helian Sheng would contact him so suddenly.
But upon learning that Helian Sheng had something very important to tell him, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a sense of tension, as if he had a premonition that something very significant was about to happen.
Ye Tiancheng then inquired about what had happened with Helian Sheng.
However, Helian Sheng did not immediately provide an answer to Ye Tiancheng's question. He stated that for safety reasons, it would be best to discuss all this information face-to-face after Ye Tiancheng arrived.
After considering it, Ye Tiancheng had no objections.
He then informed Helian Sheng that he was on his way and asked him to wait a while, as he would arrive soon.
Helian Sheng was somewhat surprised, unsure why Ye Tiancheng was suddenly coming.
Ye Tiancheng didn't particularly conceal his intentions, explaining that he had attempted to assemble the Fuxi Qin and was unsure if it was truly complete, so he would be going to the Pure Land to test it.
However, going there required some preparation before departure.
Therefore, before heading there, Ye Tiancheng decided to resolve some other matters first. In any case, a day or two's delay was acceptable.
Upon hearing this, Helian Sheng was greatly astonished, yet he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
After listening to what Ye Tiancheng had said, Helian Sheng immediately stated.
If Ye Tiancheng wished to conduct a test, he didn't need to rush to the Pure Land immediately. It was more dangerous there. However, conversely, there was a similar place where Ye Tiancheng could first attempt the test and confirm if there were any issues.
As Helian Sheng said this, before he could even finish, Ye Tiancheng immediately thought of it.
Indeed, there was such a place in this world, and it was precisely because of this place's existence that Ye Tiancheng eventually reached a cooperation with Helian Sheng, allowing him to appear where Fatty was and help Ye Tiancheng observe Fatty's situation.
This was how this series of transactions was made possible.
Therefore, if Ye Tiancheng were to conduct a test, the location belonging to the Helian family was indeed an excellent testing ground.
Moreover, regardless of how one looked at it, it was significantly safer compared to the Pure Land.
Ye Tiancheng hadn't thought of it before, but now that he had, he realized that doing so would undoubtedly bring him greater benefits.
He immediately thanked Helian Sheng.
Helian Sheng did not take credit, stating that these matters were mutually beneficial. Ye Tiancheng's ability to handle these affairs brought absolute advantages to Helian Sheng; otherwise, Helian Sheng would not have agreed to the transaction with Ye Tiancheng.
Since Helian Sheng had put it that way, Ye Tiancheng did not engage in excessive thanks.
After all, that was indeed the situation.
Therefore, after discussing this, Ye Tiancheng planned that after visiting Helian Sheng, his next step would be to go to the Helian family to confirm his collection progress.
Only then could Ye Tiancheng feel at ease if everything was in order.
Because Ye Tiancheng was in a hurry, it didn't take him much time. Soon, Ye Tiancheng arrived at his destination, finding the city where Helian Sheng and Fatty were currently located.
However, given the passage of time, it was certain that Fatty had established considerable influence here. Therefore, for safety reasons, Ye Tiancheng would not take risks and would be mindful of concealing his movements, preferably so that Fatty wouldn't discover his presence at this time.
Upon arrival, Ye Tiancheng disguised himself to appear openly.
Then, Ye Tiancheng chose to contact Helian Sheng. Upon learning of Ye Tiancheng's arrival, Helian Sheng did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to meet Ye Tiancheng.
After meeting Helian Sheng, Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox were picked up by Helian Sheng and taken to his temporary residence in this area.
It could only be said that for someone like Helian Sheng, he would certainly not allow himself to be wronged. Therefore, Helian Sheng's residence here was a very large villa.
In short, it was extremely luxurious, and his living standards had not declined at all.
Ye Tiancheng and his companions also benefited from this, receiving quite good treatment upon their arrival.
Upon arrival, Helian Sheng had noticed that there was a bird accompanying Ye Tiancheng. However, he hadn't been able to ask about it earlier, so he hadn't inquired about the nature of Ye Wuji's existence.
However, once they reached a sufficiently safe place, Helian Sheng curiously inquired.
For such a minor matter, Ye Tiancheng saw no reason to conceal it from Helian Sheng.
After all, given their cooperative relationship, concealing such ordinary matters would be meaningless and unnecessary.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng introduced him, saying, "This is also my younger brother, his name is Ye Wuji."
At the same time, Ye Tiancheng also signaled Ye Wuji to revert to his human form.
Thus, a small child joined Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox.
Helian Sheng found this development rather amusing.
In a way, Ye Tiancheng was truly an extraordinary individual to them. Both of his younger brothers were definitely not biologically related to Ye Tiancheng.
