Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...

Ye Xuan travels through the Ancient Era, visiting old acquaintances. He encounters Qing Meng Divine Sovereign and later the elusive Old Mountain, issuing warnings about the Heavenly Pond Graveyard. He then reaches the massive Hundred Thousand Peaks.

In the deepest part of the hundred thousand mountains, within a valley.

A little old man, only half the height of a person, sat cross-legged in the void.

His long beard drooped to the ground.

His hands casually placed on his knees, his eyes slightly closed.

Beside him was a peach wood stick as tall as a person.

Mountain Que Immortal King

Commonly known as Old Mountain.

An entity that survived the end of the Immortal Ancient Era.

Listening to the familiar voice of Emperor Ye echoing in his ears, Old Mountain slowly opened his eyes.

In those murky old eyes, there was a flicker of sharp light.

"Little Emperor Ye, why would I have nothing to do but go to your Heavenly Pond Graveyard?"

Old Mountain rubbed his head full of messy hair, grumbling.

"If there’s nothing urgent, you’d better stay away, lest I get targeted by certain fellows."

Within the hundred thousand mountains.

Ye Xuan heard Old Mountain’s reply, knowing this guy wasn’t listening, but he didn’t say anything more.

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan signaled the golden sheep to turn around and leave.

The golden sheep was already deeply shaken and almost instinctively obeyed Ye Xuan’s words.

"Hey!"

However, at this moment, Old Mountain’s voice echoed again.

The golden sheep immediately stopped.

Ye Xuan didn’t turn his head back but waited for Old Mountain’s next words.

"..."

A brief silence.

"...Where did you come from?"

Old Mountain asked.

Then, seemingly thinking his question was not detailed enough, added, "Which time point, and what’s the result?"

Ye Xuan heard this and smiled slightly, responding without turning his head: "The End of Dharma Era, no result yet."

Old Mountain heard this answer and fell into silence.

Ye Xuan didn’t say anything more and drove the golden sheep away from the area.

This time.

Old Mountain did not speak again.

After Ye Xuan’s aura completely disappeared from the Mountain God Realm, Old Mountain’s figure appeared where Ye Xuan had been.

Old Mountain furrowed his brow, gazing into the distance, murmuring to himself, "In the future, have you weakened to this extent?"

Old Mountain withdrew his gaze and looked toward the direction of Ancestor Mountain, laughing to himself: "Silly girl..."

————

At this moment.

Ye Xuan had already left the Mountain God Realm and returned to the east of East Desolate.

He didn’t linger in that place but headed south directly towards the Immortal King Hall.

When Ye Xuan arrived at the Immortal King Hall, Huang Shigong immediately sensed it.

But for some unknown reason, Huang Shigong couldn’t see Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan left everyone behind and entered a special secret realm within the Immortal King Hall alone.

This place.

Had vast Immortal Qi permeating throughout.

In the center, there was an Immortal Platform.

On the Immortal Platform was a white-clothed man sitting cross-legged, unmoving.

Seemingly devoid of life.

Ye Xuan gazed at the white-clothed man and couldn’t help but sigh.

"At this time, have you already gone..."

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, left the secret realm, and also left the Immortal King Hall.

Not long after Ye Xuan left, under the eyelids of the white-clothed man, a wisp of Immortal Light emerged, seeming like he wanted to open his eyes but didn’t succeed.

After leaving the Immortal King Hall, Ye Xuan successively visited Dragon Burying Court, Sun Swallowing Sect, Southern Sea Immortal Island, Sword Tomb.

When visiting Sword Tomb, Ye Xuan naturally went to Emperor Night Peak.

And saw Guo Hezu.

However, upon seeing Guo Hezu, he noticeably felt the Guo Hezu within his Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd had vanished.

It seems crossing through time and space to do certain things would still affect some future events.

Ye Xuan didn’t pick up Guo Hezu.

He left voluntarily.

Next destination.

Supreme Pavilion.

Arriving at Supreme Pavilion, Ye Xuan went straight to Suyun Palace.

But this time, Ye Xuan didn’t see Gai Dao, the old madman.

He seemed to be in slumber.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and eventually chose to leave.

Next, Ye Xuan visited Kunlun Ruins but did not see the Kunlun Woodcutter.

Ye Xuan noticed something was off.

He didn’t rush to the next location but rested at the cottage at the foot of the Kunlun Ruins.

The golden sheep had been released by Ye Xuan.

But after letting it go, Ye Xuan instructed Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu to follow it.

After leaving the Divine Continent, the two knocked out and tied the golden sheep, bringing it back to Ye Xuan.

"Master, what’s the purpose?"

Although they did as Ye Xuan said, Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu still didn’t understand Ye Xuan’s intentions.

After all, Ye Xuan could have directly knocked out the golden sheep, without so much effort.

Ye Xuan did not explain anything but approached the golden sheep, looking down at it lying unconscious on the ground, his Emperor Soul gently moved.

Boom!

In an instant, Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul descended into the golden sheep’s Sea of Consciousness.

Due to the golden sheep being in a coma, the Sea of Consciousness was a blur.

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul saw through the illusion, beginning to capture the golden sheep’s memories after entering the Black Abyss.

This was the golden sheep’s first impression; upon entering the Black Abyss, there was a dark void.

Then, suddenly reappearing in the starry sky outside the Divine Continent.

Only such a shallow segment.

Regarding the memories of Ye Xuan, Qiankun Ancestor, and Kuang Nu, they had all disappeared.

After reconfirming this fact, Ye Xuan withdrew from the golden sheep’s Sea of Consciousness and directed Qiankun Ancestor to return the golden sheep to where it had been knocked out.

Qiankun Ancestor was confused but proceeded anyway.

Kuang Nu stayed beside Ye Xuan, curious but did not ask questions.

Ye Xuan sat on a small stool in the cottage, rubbing his brow with his hands, deep in thought.

Coming from the future, although they traversed time and space, they couldn’t affect anything here.

Several absences have made Ye Xuan suspect this.

The Heavenly Dao of this time and space is evading his influence.

The reason for probing the golden sheep was precisely to confirm this.

And the current result proved it all.

Meaning, reversing through time, doing things in this time and space, would actually be silently erased by the Heavenly Dao.

He even suspected that, even if he now went to slaughter an Ancient Country, it wouldn’t be long before that Ancient Country reappeared.

"Wait for me here for a moment."

Ye Xuan said to Kuang Nu before walking out of the cottage.
