Ye Xuan returns to Zhongxuan Mountain and is greeted by his former disciples, now powerful figures in the Emperor Immortal Sect. His daughter, Ye Sixing, is also present. A powerful Divine Dragon, Huangji, appears, followed by Zhou Youwei. Ye Xuan confirms that a Dou Tian King is targeting him and that the realm's boundaries have weakened, a fact Zhou Youwei had been monitoring.

"Black Sky... Ancient Nether?"

Ye Xuan slightly frowned and looked at Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei slowly opened her eyes, a hint of killing intent appeared in her beautiful eyes as she softly explained to Ye Xuan: "The origin of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld is inexplicable to many."

"But this is not strange at all; the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld was destined to be born, representing another side of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"Its purpose is to swallow up All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and the Heavenly Domain, to transform back into the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"And the one manipulating all this in the shadows is the Black Sky Ancient Nether."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask: "Is he a person from the Immortal Ancient Era?"

Zhou Youwei shook her head: "There was no such person back then; it was born when the Ancient Immortal Realm was shattered, nurturing the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld."

Saying this, Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan, a complex look in her beautiful eyes.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Youwei withdrew her gaze, looking at the vast white clouds, she softly said: "Do you know what it calls you?"

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Youwei sighed softly: "It calls you Master."

Ye Xuan suddenly smiled: "I roughly understand."

Throughout countless ages,

Ye Xuan had many disciples.

Among them, naturally, were members of the Black Sky Clan and Guming Clan.

But without exception, after these people became emperors, they all returned to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld and never appeared again.

And now, Zhou Youwei’s words also confirmed a previous suspicion of Ye Xuan.

Within the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, there is a mysterious force guiding that world.

Members of the Black Sky Clan and Guming Clan, after becoming emperors, were influenced by that force and returned to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

Previously, Ye Xuan thought that this force manipulated everything.

Now it seems, this is not the case.

Instead, it was the disciples from the Black Sky Clan and Guming Clan who Ye Xuan accepted that became what is known as the Black Sky Ancient Nether.

Black Sky Ancient Nether, was born this way!

"But since it was born later, how do you know this person?"

Ye Xuan softly asked.

Zhou Youwei smiled slightly, showing adorable dimples: "You only know I’m Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, but not that I also have my subordinates?"

Ye Xuan suddenly realized.

I actually forgot about that.

Indeed.

Even a being as high as Xuanming Elder works under Youwei.

How could a later-born Black Sky Ancient Nether escape Youwei’s notice?

"Are you saying that the arrival of Dou Tian King’s projection is because of Black Sky Ancient Nether?"

Ye Xuan returned to the original topic, asking solemnly.

Zhou Youwei withdrew her smile, nodding lightly: "Something went wrong over there, and it’s very likely it’s them causing trouble."

"A very big possibility!"

Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing Zhou Youwei’s change in expression, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but touch his nose.

For some reason, some actions of the two were remarkably similar.

Words from Zhou Youwei, Ye Xuan didn’t seem to pay much attention to.

"Husband?"

Seeing Ye Xuan remain silent, Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan, her pretty face showing a hint of confusion. Seeing Ye Xuan also staring at her, she couldn’t help but be a bit angry and said tenderly: "Husband, what are you doing?!"

Ye Xuan grinned: "What else can I do? Just looking at you."

Zhou Youwei gave Ye Xuan a glance, annoyed: "It was you who wanted to talk about serious matters, and you’re not being serious at all."

Ye Xuan laughed heartily: "Being together is serious business, isn’t it?"

Zhou Youwei’s pretty face blushed slightly, biting her silver teeth, she spat: "Why are you acting like a rogue?"

Ye Xuan, looking innocent, spread his hands: "I didn’t say anything, you misunderstood."

Zhou Youwei was stunned for a moment, her pretty face quickly flushed with redness reaching her ears, she glared at Ye Xuan hatefully, "Why are you so bad!"

"Master, why do I not understand your conversation at all?"

The True Dragon Emperor’s childlike voice questioned.

Although Emperor had evolved into True Dragon Bloodline, it still hadn’t grown up. Even at Supreme Realm, it remained somewhat naive.

"It’s best not to understand."

Ye Xuan laughed joyfully.

Afterward.

The couple rode the True Dragon Emperor, wandering far and wide, discussing many topics.

They returned to the Emperor Immortal Sect only when night fell.

At this moment.

Everyone had already entered the Golden Pond.

Tan Qingshan, Zhu Xiaofei, Lv Xiuli, Xiao Zhan, and others remained stationed outside the Golden Pond.

Qiu Wenhan had returned home to drink wine.

According to Qiu Wenhan, the Emperor Immortal Sect is already on track now, there’s no need for him, an old man without much potential, to get involved.

Though Qiu Wenhan and Li Kuangtu were from the same era.

Unlike Li Kuangtu, Qiu Wenhan’s potential was limited.

Even though it was the End of Dharma Era, with severe suppression from the Heavenly Dao, where even Immortals were hard to find.

Qiu Wenhan lived over a thousand years but remained stuck in the Cave Heaven Realm; his strength was indeed average.

Knowing that Zhou Zihuang from the Emperor Immortal Sect had already stepped into the Heavenly God Realm by then.

And like Mu Baicheng was already half a step into the Heavenly Venerable.

Truth be told.

During that period, the Emperor Immortal Sect was indeed inconsistent.

The Supreme Elder’s like Leng Rufeng and Guo Yuancheng were both top-level; Leng Rufeng was reasonable, stronger than Zhou Zihuang, but Guo Yuancheng was only in the Longevity Realm.

If not for Guo Yuancheng’s status, he wouldn’t have been in that position.

And back then, the Emperor Immortal Sect had only Mu Baicheng, Leng Rufeng, Zhou Zihuang as real experts, along with half an expert, Guo Yuancheng.

Besides them, the others were not impressive.

The Spirit Array Palace Master Zhou Lian was only in the Life Palace Realm.

Wu Jingshan, the Hall Master of Alchemy Hall, was only in Cave Heaven Realm.

The other eight Elders were mostly Princes, with the peak of Princes being Cave Heaven Realm.

Later, Xu Jiu, the Hall Master of Artifact Refining Hall, was originally Heavenly Human and also a Divine Puppet Master, even able to fight in Saint Realm.

Xu Jiu was second only to the Three Ancestors.

Other than that, there seemed to be only Li Kuangtu in prison, worth mentioning.

Besides, there was also the old Sword God Ning Zongtang who participated in that battle 40,000 years ago.

Unfortunately.

The old Sword God did not want to live in forbearance, he delivered his strongest sword at the cost of his life.

A terrifying sword from the tenth floor of Sword Dao.

If the old Sword God had survived, the Emperor Immortal Sect would have had at least one more Great Saint Realm to hold fort.

The old Sword God, at Zhongxuan Mountain delivered that sword, once drank wine, muttering to himself:

"The sword is not ready, upon leaving, already in the Jianghu."

"Wine remains warm, entering without knowing Qian Kun."

"The wind swings a thousand times, hard to bear over the years."

"Flowers bloom in ten thousand cups, wish when returning..."
