After successfully reviving Jiang Ziyu using his Origin Power, Ye Xuan considers reviving Little Red Sparrow. However, this would require a trip to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, facing Bei Yao Shenwu, and potentially confronting the Dou Tian Divine Domain. Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei discuss the rising threat of the Dou Tian Divine Domain, suspecting they are after Ye Xuan's Origin Power. Zhou Youwei reaffirms her commitment to facing this threat alongside Ye Xuan.

After Zhou Youwei left.

In the chaos, only Ye Xuan and the still unconscious Jiang Ziyu remained.

Ye Xuan took off the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd from his waist and drank alone.

Originally, he planned to slowly strategize and wait for that battle to come.

After all, no matter from which angle you look, the arrival of that battle wouldn’t be too soon.

He had plenty of time to prepare for these.

But just like the truth he had learned.

True battles never start when you’re fully prepared.

They often ignite completely all of a sudden.

The continuation of the Immortal Ancient End War might arrive earlier...

Of course, it’s not necessarily so.

But regardless, Ye Xuan had to prepare himself as much as possible.

The greatest preparation.

Naturally, was his own strength.

Since walking down the Emperor Road, Ye Xuan had always been in the Invincible Great Sage Realm.

Without progressing further.

No one knew what Ye Xuan was doing.

Only Ye Xuan knew.

He was tempering himself.

Just like the Great Sage Realm back then.

In the endless ages, although Ye Xuan had never cultivated, he understood the characteristics of each realm better than anyone.

He developed a specialized cultivation method.

Every realm was different.

And in fact, Ye Xuan’s performance in each realm was completely different from ordinary people.

Each of his realms could exhibit extremely terrifying power, beyond his realm.

Besides Ye Xuan being a monster who lived through endless ages, it was also because of his unique cultivation method.

Great Saint Realm.

From the First Realm, the Undying Great Saint, to the Ninth Realm, the Nine Transitions Great Saint, Ye Xuan understood them all.

The biggest difference between the Great Saint Realm and the Great Sage Realm was that apart from being completely different in terms of Dao, there was another level, which was the Great Saint Body.

Cultivators, during their cultivation journey, undergo repeated tempering.

After passing through the Heavenly Human Five Decays, they forge the Heavenly God Body.

At that point, the cultivator’s physical body has already created a significant divide from other cultivators.

The Heavenly God Realm is called so because, by just the physical body alone, it’s like a heavenly god descending!

But after that, people’s cultivation focused on understanding the Dao, opening up the heavens to create the world, and tracing the source, so the enhancement of the physical body wasn’t significant.

But when reaching the Great Saint Realm, it was entirely different.

The Great Saint Body of the Great Saint Realm is equivalent to the Great Success Sacred Body!

Those in this realm can proclaim invincibility with mere physical strength.

If the Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Great Emperor Realm do not appear, who can rival them?

This realm is among the highest combat power in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Even in Longevity Families and Great Emperor Immortal Sects, it’s the strongest level of existence.

After all, not all forces have Quasi-Emperor Realm experts to guard them.

Forces with Quasi-Emperor Realm experts are often those with deep foundations like Longevity Families or Great Emperor Immortal Sects.

Moreover, entities in this realm are often elusive, like a Divine Dragon you see the traces of but not the form.

An ordinary person might never encounter such beings in their lifetime.

For Ye Xuan.

His Taoist Body, reaching great success, had long surpassed the Great Saint Body.

Coupled with his understanding of the Dao, he had long been far ahead.

In short.

The current Ye Xuan could step into the Great Saint Realm at any time.

But Ye Xuan is Ye Xuan; he never takes the usual path.

When the tempering is enough, he will once again do something that shakes the world.

Just like that.

Ye Xuan drank while contemplating his strategy.

Time flowed by slowly.

But in the chaos, this was imperceptible.

Who knows how long passed.

The long-silent Jiang Ziyu suddenly showed a slight fluctuation in his aura.

As time passed, this aura fluctuation became increasingly terrifying.

As Jiang Ziyu breathed in and out, the entire chaos moved with him.

If someone were outside the chaos at this moment, this scene would certainly leave them stunned beyond measure.

To move the rhythm of the whole chaos by breathing alone, how terrifying that is!

However, Ye Xuan was not surprised by this.

He waited for Jiang Ziyu’s awakening.

After an incense stick burned, the chaos slowly returned to calm.

Jiang Ziyu’s terrifying breathing also calmed at this moment.

But at this moment, Jiang Ziyu was astonishing.

Although he still had white hair and beard, his once decrepit face had now become incredibly youthful.

Like a young man.

Rather than old and frail.

Jiang Ziyu slowly opened his eyes, those eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.

As if he had experienced countless years.

Yet now, Jiang Ziyu appeared somewhat bewildered.

He seemed unaware of what had happened.

"Have a drink to wake up."

Ye Xuan tossed the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd to the side.

Jiang Ziyu caught it smoothly, looked at Ye Xuan, then looked at the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd in his hand, and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

Ye Xuan yawned and replied vaguely, "Drink, it’s good wine."

Jiang Ziyu didn’t ask further; he took a sip and then put down the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd.

Feeling the immense power and spiciness in that sip, Jiang Ziyu gradually became clear-headed.

"Thank you."

Jiang Ziyu smiled slightly.

"Well, well, the renowned Jiang Family’s Grandfather is actually so kind and friendly?"

Ye Xuan teased.

Jiang Ziyu smiled wryly, "Emperor Ye, please stop teasing me."

Ye Xuan wasn’t surprised that Jiang Ziyu could immediately recognize his identity.

"It’s been a long time. You’ve become more honest."

Ye Xuan smiled as he spoke.

Jiang Ziyu rubbed his temples, looking melancholy, "It’s not quite like that. Mainly, I’m a bit confused myself. I should have been dead, so how am I alive again..."

"Your means, Emperor Ye?"

Jiang Ziyu glanced at Ye Xuan, looking suspicious, "No, no, even if you can perform such world-defying means, you wouldn’t use them on someone insignificant like me..."

"Emperor Ye, care to explain?"

Upon finishing, Jiang Ziyu tossed the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd back to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan caught the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd and frowned, "You don’t feel anything?"

In theory, as Blood Image took over Jiang Ziyu’s body and resurrected him, he should have vague memories.

Jiang Ziyu shook his head and said, "My memory stopped at the Primordial Wilderness Era."

Ye Xuan swirled the wine inside the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, deep in thought.

After a while, Ye Xuan briefly explained the entire process.

Jiang Ziyu listened, then twitched his mouth slightly, "Damn, I was actually manipulated by someone?"

Ye Xuan stroked his chin, saying seriously, "Not exactly manipulated, after all, you were merely a walking corpse back then."

Jiang Ziyu: "..."

Boom!

The next moment, Jiang Ziyu’s robes swelled, his aura erupting, causing the surrounding chaos to explode into a vacuum.

Jiang Ziyu, brimming with fury, "Damn it, next time I meet that guy, I’ll crush it to pieces!"

It’s hard to imagine that the renowned patriarch of the Jiang Family has such a fiery temper.

Ye Xuan, however, was not surprised, grinning as he waved his hand, "It’s nothing, but I’m interested in understanding your resurrection process..."
