Ye Xuan encounters a mysterious girl who claims he is her father. She reveals knowledge of his wife, Zhou Youwei, and the reincarnation of Hong Yao Immortal Emperor. Despite Ye Xuan's confusion and attempts to deny being her father, the girl's tears possess immense power, vanishing the surrounding thunder. Ye Xuan names her Ye Sixing, and she admits to receiving all knowledge except for his origins, hinting at other presences within him.

On the back of Ye Xuan’s right hand, a white mark slowly emerged.

Ye Xuan felt a slight stirring in his heart.

It was Bai Ze awakening.

Bai Ze had fallen asleep when Ye Xuan ascended the Emperor Road, saying the time would come.

Now that Ye Xuan had walked out of the Emperor Road, Bai Ze seemed to have found its moment, gently awakening.

"Daddy, I saw many visions..."

At this moment, the young girl in white, Ye Sixing, suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with fear.

Finally, she cried out and leapt into Ye Xuan’s embrace, sobbing softly.

Like a frightened kitten.

Ye Xuan’s heart moved slightly, he spoke softly: "Did you see it from here?"

Ye Xuan raised his right hand near Ye Sixing.

Ye Sixing, however, dared not look again and burrowed desperately into Ye Xuan’s arms, "Daddy, don’t show me, I’m scared..."

Ye Xuan was thoughtful.

If nothing went wrong, Ye Sixing saw the terrifying visions through Bai Ze’s awakening.

That was why she was so afraid.

At this moment.

Bai Ze’s mark was rapidly becoming complete.

When it fully appeared, Bai Ze was revived.

In front of Ye Xuan, a phantom of an absolutely beautiful woman with snow-white appearance appeared out of thin air.

White hair, white brows.

Even her eyes were white.

This was Bai Ze’s human manifestation.

At this moment, Bai Ze’s gaze also fell upon the young girl in white, slowly speaking: "You have gained a great karma."

The voice remained gentle.

Ye Xuan reached out to hold the young girl in white, for he found the girl was trembling.

"What can you see?"

Ye Xuan asked Bai Ze.

Bai Ze shook her head: "I cannot say."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "Weren’t you sleeping because the moment had come? You should remember many things now."

Bai Ze nodded slightly: "It’s true, I remembered everything, but precisely because of this, I cannot speak of them."

Ye Xuan seriously said: "Then our deal is void."

Previously, Ye Xuan had agreed to be Bai Ze’s vessel so Bai Ze would tell him more truths.

Hearing this, Bai Ze smiled slightly and said: "On Emperor Road, didn’t you already get the answer?"

Ye Xuan shook his head: "Those answers are not enough, above them lies a deeper layer of darkness."

Bai Ze didn’t look at Ye Xuan, but focused on the young girl in white, Ye Sixing, gently saying: "Actually, you have already guessed why she has such ability."

This enigmatic statement.

But Ye Xuan understood the meaning behind it.

What Bai Ze meant was, Ye Sixing’s ability to glean knowledge from the world came from Bai Ze.

Bai Ze’s power is to comprehend the origins of all things.

In this world, there is little that Bai Ze does not know.

Unexpectedly.

Initially, when Ye Xuan used Immortal Profound Power to touch Ye Sixing, during her infancy, Bai Ze was slowly awakening.

Also because of this, Bai Ze’s abilities were sensed and absorbed by the infant.

Forming Ye Sixing in the end.

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes: "Then you are more responsible."

Bai Ze smiled slightly: "She possesses unique talent and physique in the world, you have gained such a daughter, shouldn’t you thank me?"

Bai Ze rarely teased.

Ye Xuan did not reply.

"I still don’t quite understand."

Ye Xuan said softly.

Bai Ze naturally knew what Ye Xuan didn’t understand.

Bai Ze did not speak, but gestured for Ye Xuan to raise his hand.

Ye Xuan raised his right hand.

Bai Ze raised her left hand, extending her forefinger.

Ye Xuan followed suit.

Their forefingers touched.

A mysterious light flashed.

At that moment, images flashed through Ye Xuan’s mind.

In those images, were all the scenes of Ye Xuan entering the center of the Thunder Pond.

The only change is, unbeknownst to Ye Xuan, a life form had begun to gestate at the center of the Thunder Pond.

That life form was actually lifeless during gestation.

The last image was Ye Xuan visiting this place a million years ago.

At that time, the infant girl had formed, shrouded in endless darkness, with a layer of black matter on her body fused with Dark Thunder, completely undetectable.

Even Ye Xuan hadn’t noticed it.

The images overlapped, forming a new image.

Just as Ye Xuan used Immortal Profound Power to touch the infant girl.

"From beginning to end, she was your Undying Night Emperor’s daughter."

Bai Ze lowered her left hand and said softly.

Ye Xuan lowered his right hand, staring at Ye Sixing hiding in his embrace.

So...

This is how it is.

"Originally, she was supposed to be the next Undying Night Emperor, but because of my existence, she gained my abilities, even surpassing them, thus the ability you left was weakened."

Bai Ze spoke softly.

The mystery within Ye Xuan’s heart was unraveled.

Ye Sixing’s birth was intertwined with Ye Xuan.

Ultimately, Ye Sixing was Ye Xuan’s daughter.

It’s just that her gestation was too peculiar.

"Little girl."

Bai Ze softly called Ye Sixing.

Ye Sixing continued to hide in Ye Xuan’s arms, fearful of Bai Ze.

Ye Xuan gently patted the girl’s shoulder, speaking softly: "It’s okay."

Ye Xuan’s voice seemed to have a unique calming effect on Ye Sixing, stabilizing her fearful emotions.

"Dad..."

Ye Sixing looked up at Ye Xuan.

Hmm...

Her eyes still didn’t open.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

Only then did Ye Sixing muster the courage to face Bai Ze.

But she dared not fully face Bai Ze, for she could see many frightening images.

Bai Ze said gently: "Don’t be afraid, I will teach you how to use this ability."

Bai Ze flicked her finger, and a white mysterious light lightly fell on Ye Sixing’s forehead.

It was at that moment, Ye Sixing’s inner unrest was completely erased.

Ye Sixing finally faced Bai Ze.

"Are you taking my daughter as your disciple?"

Ye Xuan looked at Bai Ze, half-jokingly.

Bai Ze smiled softly and said: "For now, I am most suited to be her Master."

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Sixing and gently asked: "Sixing, would you like to become a disciple?"

Ye Sixing was a bit bewildered.

But soon, she understood what becoming a disciple meant.

Facing Bai Ze, her movements somewhat stiff and awkward, she performed the disciple’s ritual: "Disciple Ye Sixing, greets Master."

Bai Ze accepted it graciously.

After accepting Ye Sixing as a disciple, Bai Ze gently tapped Ye Sixing’s forehead and a white light flashed.

Instantly, Ye Sixing felt an influx of knowledge into her mind.

"This book ’Ancient and Modern’ is not a Cultivation Technique, but it helps you better understand the world, consider it your first lesson from me."

Bai Ze spoke warmly.

A hint of delight appeared on Ye Sixing’s face: "Thank you, Master."

Bai Ze nodded lightly.

Then Bai Ze said to Ye Xuan: "Summon me when you feel the time is right."

As the words fell, Bai Ze transformed into a mysterious light and returned to the mark on Ye Xuan’s hand.
