Qiankun Ancestor severed the Bull Sage's horns at the roots under Ye Xuan's command, enraging the Bull Sage and drawing the attention of four other eighth-layer Great Saints. Despite their anger and attacks, Ye Xuan's group, protected by Qiankun Ancestor, continued their journey into the Black Abyss, leaving the Bull Sage behind. Inside the Black Abyss, Ye Xuan attempted to claim the black grinding plate but failed.

Ye Xuan held the black grindstone, lost in thought.

Despite the failure, Ye Xuan showed no emotional fluctuation.

Although it’s said that he who tied the knot must untie it, Ye Xuan didn’t expect to succeed on the first try.

He had not yet figured out the purpose of this object.

Ever since the Taixu Pearl was absorbed by the object, it had been floating above the black grindstone, motionless, unable to be removed.

They seemed to have merged into one.

Ye Xuan attempted it once and then gave up directly upon failing.

Space-time, space-time.

Time and space are often considered together.

He could vaguely guess.

The reason why time-space reversal was possible was due to the combination of this object and the Taixu Pearl.

Otherwise, if it were simply reversing time, he might never be able to descend into the Ancient Era and merely watch the events along the River of Time from afar, unable to walk through it personally.

After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan had Kuang Nu and Qiankun Ancestor protect him, while Ye Xuan himself held the black grindstone in his palm and sat cross-legged in the void.

The other six Immortal Treasures, along with the Divine Mountain Seal, floated around, upholding a part of the sky.

Soon.

Ye Xuan fell into a state of enlightenment.

In this ethereal state, Ye Xuan’s consciousness drifted and gradually approached the black grindstone.

Whoosh!

At that very moment, a sudden suction force erupted from within the black grindstone, drawing Ye Xuan’s consciousness inside.

In that instant, Ye Xuan’s consciousness became clear.

Also at that moment.

Ye Xuan saw countless scenes flashing before his eyes.

Those were memories of his childhood in Wan’an City.

These memory scenes flashed by continuously and in a blink, it was the day he was captured by the Emperor Burial Lord and his Life Soul was taken!

It was still the familiar spinning of heaven and earth, a pitch-black darkness.

Upon awakening, he was already trapped in this cold darkness.

After experiencing despair and numbness, he finally saw a person.

It was a person dressed in white, otherworldly, showing only their back.

Ye Xuan cried and begged.

That person waved a sleeve, sending Ye Xuan away.

The scenes sped up once again.

Among those scenes were countless moments of despair for Ye Xuan.

At every moment of utmost despair, the scene inexplicably slowed down, as if to make Ye Xuan face this painful memory directly.

But who was Ye Xuan?

The Eternal Emperor Master!

The Undying Night Emperor!

His Dao Heart had long been honed to an unshakable state.

Let alone a situation like this, even if he had to go through such experiences again, he would still grit his teeth and endure with stubborn will.

Such a solid Dao Heart, it could be said to be the greatest of the ages.

Unmatched by anyone.

And so.

Time continued to flow.

The scenes continued to change.

Ultimately.

The memory halted at the moment when Ye Xuan used the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons to suppress his monster body, then his Eternal Emperor Soul forcibly exited the body.

Empress Changxi and Emperor Mu, who were protecting Ye Xuan, suddenly acted at that moment.

Ye Xuan watched the scene clearly.

He could even see the excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes.

It seemed that for these two, this betrayal was thrilling.

Ye Xuan watched the scene calmly, his heart undisturbed.

He speculated that the Immortal Body of Heavenly Time seemed intent on showing him this scene of betrayal.

Because during that betrayal, he focused on escaping from that monster body, the cage that imprisoned him for ages.

He did not see their betrayal at all, he only knew they acted against him.

This was why Ye Xuan had always speculated about the reasons behind these two traitors’ actions and wondered if there were extenuating circumstances.

But now.

The Immortal Treasure of the Heavenly Time Immortal Body replayed that scene of betrayal from before.

After the betrayal ended and Ye Xuan’s Eternal Emperor Soul fell asleep, the scene did not disappear.

In the scene.

Empress Changxi and Emperor Mu both sat cross-legged in the starry sky, staring at Ye Xuan’s monster body without speaking for a long time.

"Master... is finally dead."

Mu Yun smiled slightly, then stood up, bowing solemnly to Ye Xuan’s monster body.

But the moment he straightened, his eyes were full of indifference.

At this moment, Mu Yun.

Much like an unrivaled Great Emperor reigning supreme.

He glared at Empress Changxi, smirking: "Didn’t Senior Sister refuse to nod, yet you acted?"

Empress Changxi looked at Ye Xuan’s monster body, her beautiful eyes again calm.

Upon hearing Mu Yun’s words, Empress Changxi didn’t reply, but instead reached out to touch Ye Xuan’s face.

On Ye Xuan’s monster body, strange black mist entwined, changing erratically until revealing a tender face with closed eyes.

That was Ye Xuan’s eleven-year-old face.

Empress Changxi caressed Ye Xuan’s face, her eyes filled with a trace of longing, softly murmuring: "Farewell, Brother Night Emperor."

After speaking, Empress Changxi bent down and left with a heartfelt kiss.

Mu Yun watched, his eyes even more mocking.

For some reason, at that moment, Mu Yun recalled a saying from his Master of those years.

When a woman is sentimental, her touch is profound.

When a woman is merciless, her betrayal cuts deep.

And right now, his once most revered Master was the one owed by this heartless Empress.

How laughable.

Empress Changxi slowly stood up, without speaking to Mu Yun.

The Double Emperors fell into silence.

Or perhaps, waited for something.

Seeing that scene, Ye Xuan squinted slightly.

Indeed!

After a while, in the depths of the starry sky, a distortion occurred, with a sudden flash of nine-colored divine light, converging into a figure.

Upon this person’s arrival, the Double Emperors bowed respectfully.

That person said nothing but glanced at Ye Xuan’s monster body, casually waving a hand.

Two streams of nine-colored divine light shot towards the Double Emperors.

The Double Emperors caught them with their hands.

Everything fell into Ye Xuan’s eyes.

And at this juncture, Ye Xuan fully confirmed his judgment.

Behind these two traitors, indeed, there was someone!

Yet, Ye Xuan couldn’t identify who that was.

For Ye Xuan had never seen that person!

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a gaze upon him.

That gaze came from the figure shrouded in nine-colored divine light.

It seems the other party noticed the probing.

Ye Xuan met that gaze, fearing nothing.

He too wanted to see what the other party was up to.

But unfortunately, the scene sped up quickly, vanishing shortly.

The subsequent scene went utterly dark.

Then the scene was Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul awakening in the Emperor Immortal Sect.

This segment was incredibly swift, disappearing in a blink.

Just when Ye Xuan thought it was over, to his surprise, he found himself back in Wan’an City.

"Is this an eternal cycle..."

Ye Xuan muttered in his heart.

However, this time, Ye Xuan paid more focused attention to all these.

This was equivalent to a rough retracing of the ages.

Incidentally seeing if he missed anything.

Thus, Ye Xuan was immersed in the eternal cycle of memories.

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu protected him, repelling some enemies trying to enter the Black Abyss.

Time flew by, a year had passed.

Meanwhile, the Black Abyss began to show fluctuations.

The Black Abyss’s opening state thus completed!
