Ye Xuan created a special world for the little Red Sparrow to recover. He then returned to the Emperor Immortal Sect, which had become a bustling hub with many guests and disciples. The Golden Pond, now able to accommodate ten thousand people, reopened, bringing renewed prosperity to the sect. Ye Xuan reunited with his disciples, who recalled his past triumphs.

He hadn’t seen them for many years.

Since returning from the Emperor Road, he had been staying alone at Zhongxuan Mountain, without seeing anyone else.

Afterwards, he was traveling with Ye Sixing.

Those young people who once followed him have now become the pillars of the Emperor Immortal Sect, supporting a sky for the sect.

Especially the group from Xuanyuan Peak, who, in the years that followed, demonstrated extraordinary flair.

Now, they are at least in the Saint Realm.

Talents like Tan Qingshan and Lv Xiuli, who were already impressive back then, are now close to touching the Immortal Realm.

They are nostalgic people; while their realms have improved, they did not reside permanently at Zhongxuan Mountain but chose to return to the ancestral land of the Emperor Immortal Sect to nurture the new generation of disciples.

They understand very well that their talents are limited.

Even if they live for a long time, there’s almost no chance to reach higher realms in the future.

They cannot follow the footsteps of the Senior Brother.

They can only do what they should, to shine for the Emperor Immortal Sect.

This.

Is the sect’s heritage.

Passed from one generation to the next.

Every era needs such people to do such things.

"Senior Brother!"

At this moment, Tan Qingshan and others forsook guarding the Golden Pond and immediately paid great respect to Ye Xuan.

"Senior Brother?!"

The actions of Tan Qingshan and others instantly left the Emperor Immortal Sect disciples present dumbfounded.

These elders in the sect, with great strength, were said to have followed the Senior Brother in the past.

Then the Senior Brother they referred to...

Could it be Ye Xuan?!

At this moment, countless gazes turned to Ye Xuan.

Disciples from other sects did the same.

Even if they were not disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect, they had heard the legendary tales of Ye Xuan.

To see the person in the flesh now?!

It felt surreal to them, like a dream.

"It’s truly Senior Ye Xuan!"

Among the young disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect, someone had seen a portrait of Ye Xuan before and compared it now, finding it really was him, instantly feeling extremely excited.

"So that’s Senior Ye Xuan, so handsome!"

A young infatuated one was already smitten.

In the crowd, Ye Sixing, naturally knowing of Ye Xuan’s arrival, couldn’t help muttering: Dad is so popular...

"Dad."

Yet, Ye Sixing still whispered softly.

"What did you say?"

Due to too much excitement on the scene, the disciple next to him did not hear Ye Sixing clearly, so he asked.

"He’s my dad."

Ye Sixing said softly.

"What?"

The chubby young disciple next to him was stunned.

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Sixing and softly said, "Keep it up."

Ye Sixing nodded heavily, smiling, "Don’t worry, Dad."

Now, every disciple in the venue was bewildered.

Senior Ye Xuan has a daughter!?

Their gazes towards Ye Sixing became quite peculiar.

"You’re back."

Qiu Wenhan, seeing the commotion caused by Ye Xuan’s presence, had a face full of relief, and also took the initiative to greet Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "You really know how to relax, coming back to take care of the Golden Pond."

Qiu Wenhan grinned, "Relaxation indeed, back then I only guarded the Ancestor Temple, now I have to manage so many disciples."

Ye Xuan laughed, "Alright, let’s drink when there’s time."

Qiu Wenhan had to take charge of these disciples at the Golden Pond, so naturally had no time now.

Although Tan Qingshan and others also wanted to chat with Ye Xuan, they could only suppress their excitement due to their duty.

Ye Xuan’s gaze cast toward the Pixiu above the sky dome, muttering softly, "It seems you’ve eaten quite a bit over the years, evolving into a true Pixiu."

The Pixiu naturally noticed Ye Xuan’s arrival too, but as it had to maintain the Golden Pond Gate, it could only wink at him.

Boom!

Just at this moment.

A terrifying boom came from the backside of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Soon after, a Divine Dragon riding auspicious clouds arrived.

The Divine Dragon had a ten-thousand-foot golden body, reflecting golden light under the sunlight.

This was the Dragon Carp, Huangji, which Ye Xuan had brought back from the Divine Dragon Azure Sea, now evolved into a True Dragon!

True Dragon Supreme.

"Master."

Huangji called out to Ye Xuan.

Despite having evolved into a True Dragon, Huangji’s voice was still babyish.

The Pixiu glanced at Huangji disdainfully, seemingly displeased.

Ye Xuan leapt onto the head of the True Dragon, Huangji.

Huangji joyfully rolled over several times in the air, dragon roars echoing through the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Such a sight did not surprise the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

In their daily lives, they were accustomed to seeing the battles between the Pixiu and True Dragon Huangji.

These two giants never idled, battling ceaselessly day after day.

Had it not been for the East Desolate Mountain God to keep order, the back of the Emperor Immortal Sect would have long been destroyed.

"Youwei."

Ye Xuan softly called out.

In her boudoir at Emperor Peak, Zhou Youwei slowly opened her bright, beautiful eyes.

Zhou Youwei looked up, then got up.

The next moment, Zhou Youwei’s graceful figure appeared beside Ye Xuan out of thin air.

"The Princess is here too!"

The attention of Tan Qingshan and others was on Ye Xuan, and seeing Zhou Youwei beside him, they were pleasantly surprised.

As among the first to know Ye Xuan back in the day, they knew better than anyone else that this pair was made in heaven.

But it had been so long since they last saw the Senior Brother and the Princess together.

The scene was still that beautiful!

"Carry on with your tasks."

Ye Xuan spoke to Tan Qingshan and the others.

The True Dragon Huangji understood Ye Xuan’s intention, carrying the two of them to the Nine Heavens, traveling amidst the clouds.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei stood side by side.

"It’s confirmed."

Ye Xuan said softly.

Zhou Youwei looked puzzled, "What’s confirmed?"

Ye Xuan spoke softly, "Their target is me; a Dou Tian King appeared after you left."

Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes narrowed, her tone turned cold, "How did they appear in this realm?"

Ye Xuan slightly shook his head, "The boundary of this realm has loosened..."

Zhou Youwei shook her head, "Impossible, I went to check just recently!"

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei, a bit surprised, "You checked?"

Zhou Youwei nodded, "After my memory awakened, I returned to the Heavenly Sea; as you know, the origin of the Heavenly Sea, left behind by the Dou Tian Divine Domain, allows one to probe whether the boundaries of this realm have loosened, including now, my body remains in the Heavenly Sea, besides recovering my strength, also to guard it."

Ye Xuan frowned tightly, "The Dou Tian King didn’t descend in person; it was just a projection. Could there be other issues besides the Heavenly Sea?"

Zhou Youwei slowly closed her eyes, her delicate face covered with frosty coldness, her voice turned sinister, "What a Black Sky Ancient Nether!"
