Ye Xuan unleashes the power of his Taoist Body, causing the Origin Power of the opponent within Jiang Ziyu’s body to deplete. He finds Jiang Ziyu’s true Life Soul and protects it as the opponent attempts to flee. The white-robed elder is revealed to be controlled by the Dou Tian Divine Domain being, but Ye Xuan manages to trap the entity within an Ancient Cauldron and uses the Emperor of Hundred Herbs’ spirit to suppress it.

Of course, this is just what Zhou Youwei sees now.

"Great Ancestor!"

At this moment, the white-haired old man was supporting Jiang Ziyu, his expression filled with excitement.

He never expected that inside the Bronze Coffin was actually Great Ancestor Jiang Ziyu.

This legendary Divine being.

Back in the day, after the disappearance of the ancestor Jiang Yan, the Jiang Family experienced a period of turmoil.

But soon, the Jiang Family stabilized.

All because of Great Ancestor Jiang Ziyu.

This peerless being who did not carry the Tian Ming yet could contend with the Great Emperor.

Unfortunately, over the long years, any living being, no matter how powerful, will eventually pay the price of life.

Or perhaps, this is the ultimate path for all beings.

All living beings cannot avoid such a fate.

Great Ancestor is no exception.

But at this moment, the white-haired old man clearly felt a sense of vitality emanating from Great Ancestor.

Though very faint, it was indeed present.

This means that Great Ancestor is still alive!

What an exhilarating piece of news this is!

However, Great Ancestor did not show any sign of waking up.

The white-haired old man glanced at the Ancient Cauldron nearby, hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and carried Jiang Ziyu’s sacred body back for placement.

After all, the situation here has stabilized, and he had nothing to do here, so it was better to first stabilize Great Ancestor.

Some of the Jiang Family’s elders wanted to follow, but the white-haired old man stopped them.

Now, although Great Ancestor still has vitality, it is extremely weak and should not be disturbed.

These Jiang Family elders could only stay in place.

Everyone’s gaze was gathered on the Ancient Cauldron.

Ye Xuan’s tactics shocked many present.

Even the astonishing battle, they hadn’t reacted, and it was already over.

"Young Master Ye, please do not harm my clansman."

At this time, an elderly man with white hair stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Ye Xuan, pleading for clemency.

Because under the seal of the Ancient Cauldron, besides the presence from Dou Tian Divine Domain, there was also the elder of the Jiang Family he was occupying.

Ye Xuan returned the Spiritual Pattern Pen to Jiang Zhao, calmly watching the Ancient Cauldron.

The Array Patterns have been etched, plus his unique power.

No matter how formidable that guy from Dou Tian Divine Domain was, he would only be suppressed.

Inside the Ancient Cauldron, there was no more sound.

It seemed that the guy from Dou Tian Divine Domain had been suppressed.

But Ye Xuan did not open it.

"Uncle, you guard this place and do not let anyone touch the Ancient Cauldron."

Ye Xuan looked at Jiang Zhao and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhao’s expression turned grave. He nodded solemnly and said, "Little Xuan, rest assured. This place will be guarded by me."

He naturally understood the importance of this matter.

"Want to check the Bronze Coffin?"

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei, smiling slightly.

Zhou Youwei nodded gently.

The couple ignored everyone’s gaze and returned to the Chaos once again.

Traversing the Chaos, they soon arrived at the Bronze Coffin floating in the Chaos for a hundred years.

The coffin lid floated aside, undisturbed.

The couple easily entered the Bronze Coffin.

Ye Xuan snapped his fingers, and the dim Bronze Coffin suddenly brightened.

The entire world inside the Bronze Coffin appeared so ancient, devoid of any existence.

The only lingering presence was the aura of the person from Dou Tian Divine Domain.

"It seems this guy didn’t leave any backup plans..."

Zhou Youwei glanced around and said softly.

Ye Xuan did not speak but squatted down, reaching out to touch the bottom of the Bronze Coffin.

The touch was extremely cold, as if it would freeze Ye Xuan instantly.

No wonder Jiang Ziyu’s corpse hadn’t decayed after so many years.

"Did you discover anything?"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s actions, Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes showed a trace of curiosity.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly.

The reason for such actions was just a habit formed over time.

Throughout the ancient ages, Ye Xuan had experienced countless events and investigated many times.

Many ancient secrets were not easily obtained by Ye Xuan but were discovered through repeated exploration and meticulous investigation.

For some reason.

Ye Xuan always felt that this incident was not that simple.

Especially when noticing that Origin Power seemed to surface in various places, Ye Xuan felt an urgency.

The True Dragon Ao Jue of the Demons Great World.

The Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea.

The Mountain God Golden Body of the Mountain God Temple.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

The Space-time Eyes of the Evil God Sect.

......

Perhaps, the people from Dou Tian Divine Domain left hidden plots in this world that are about to be revealed!

And those two traitors...

The people backing them back then, are they from Dou Tian Divine Domain?

Ye Xuan still couldn’t be certain about this.

With Ye Xuan’s current strength, it seems still insufficient.

He must find a chance to visit Earth State Black Abyss, to see if the remaining two Immortal Treasures are there.

Numerous thoughts crossed Ye Xuan’s mind as he withdrew his right hand.

Afterward, Ye Xuan began to stroll around the entire Bronze Coffin.

Zhou Youwei accompanied Ye Xuan, remaining silent, also observing.

However, she didn’t find anything unusual.

Everything seemed quite normal.

After a long time.

Ye Xuan stopped, looking out of the Bronze Coffin, softly murmuring, "It seems the problem is not with the Bronze Coffin..."

Then, Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and looked at Zhou Youwei, asking, "Youwei, during the years I’ve walked the Emperor Road, have you discovered anything else in the Myriad Worlds?"

Zhou Youwei slightly shook her head and said, "I have investigated the people from Dou Tian Divine Domain, but found nothing new. Instead, things are very unusual on the Black Sky Ancient Nether side."

"They have a massive plot."

"This plot could very likely target the entire All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds."

Zhou Youwei spoke calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, speaking in a focused tone, "Could it be that Black Sky Ancient Nether... is the biggest hidden plot of Dou Tian Divine Domain?"

Zhou Youwei immediately shook her head in disapproval upon hearing this, "Impossible."

Ye Xuan smirked, "Youwei, so certain?"

Zhou Youwei gave Ye Xuan a white-eyed look, speaking gently, "Husband, there’s no need to provoke me. You actually know the true origin of Black Sky Ancient Nether, don’t you?"

Ye Xuan neither confirmed nor denied, speaking slowly, "But their purpose is indeed somewhat baffling."

Zhou Youwei rubbed her Qiong nose, speaking softly, "In fact, from the perspective of the Immortal Ancient Era, their so-called purpose is very easy to see."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "That’s even more absurd."

Zhou Youwei was slightly stunned, appearing thoughtful.

"Let’s go, to see if we can ask that guy something."

Ye Xuan reached out to hold Zhou Youwei’s hand, and the two flew out of the Bronze Coffin together.

Boom!

But at this moment, the coffin lid that had been floating at the other end suddenly flew up, and then slammed down.

A huge explosion.

Accompanied by came the endless Dark Invasion.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei both felt their hearts sink.
