Ye Xuan reflects on the complex nature of trust and his past experiences. He and his companions decide to head towards the Heavenly Pond Graveyard to meet Qiao Tiannan. On the way, Ye Xuan inquires about the Luotian Grand Jiao and learns it was postponed. He visits Pengxuan Cave Heaven and speaks with True Person Yu Xuan, who seeks Ye Xuan's help in finding a new East Mountain God. Using his powers, Ye Xuan appoints a new deity, and in doing so, breaks through to the Great Saint Realm.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

With Ye Xuan’s initiation and bestowal, a handsome man in white robes appeared on East Mountain, with fluttering sleeves and an immortal-like presence.

Upon his appearance, he made a gesture of salute towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan returned the gesture with a fist salute.

Seeing that scene, Yu Xuan True Person finally smiled with relief.

Otherwise, having such a vast East Mountain without a Mountain God to guard it, would be truly laughable.

People might think that his ability in Pengxuan Cave Heaven was non-existent.

Amid Yu Xuan True Person’s constant expressions of gratitude, Ye Xuan left with Qiankun Ancestor, Kuang Nu, and the little girl in black.

After all, they were just passing by.

The destination was the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Although they had been there once before, that was in ancient times.

Moreover, the three of them had forgotten this part of their memories.

In their memories, they only recall entering the Black Abyss and spending seven days there.

Everything else seemed to have never happened.

Leaving the Earth State, crossing the Divine Continent, and passing over the highest point of the Heavenly State, they saw the outer world scenery.

The God Sealer with the Thousand-Handed Divine Image from ancient times had already disappeared into the river of history.

They broke through the boundary without encountering any obstruction.

Leaving the Xuanhuang Great World, they entered the familiar chaotic stream of the Outer Void.

From afar, nothing could be seen.

Although, from a macro perspective, the All Heavens and Heavenly Domain appear as a whole.

Yet, the distance between each world is terrifyingly vast.

Without entering the Great Sage Realm, or having a senior of the Great Sage Realm lead the way, one would likely never have the chance to witness the splendor of another world.

Only by entering the Great Sage Realm and mastering the method of the Two Realms Seamless can one travel to other great worlds.

Of course, even with such methods, people dare not venture into other worlds casually.

Because this would trigger a reaction from the boundary, and the peerless strong in that world would immediately become aware.

Similar to the Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces, such beings exist in all major worlds.

Their duty is to guard their realm and defend against foreign enemies.

Traveling to other great worlds at random could easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, and even if one were to be killed by joint forces, there would be no place to seek justice.

Of course, this usually happens when Heavenly Dao Suppression hasn’t appeared.

In this End of Dharma Era, with Heavenly Dao Suppression present, those below the Great Sage Realm are unable to manifest, naturally excluding any world crossing.

This was a road that Ye Xuan had traveled many times.

To him, the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was like another home.

The road home, how could it be unfamiliar?

This time, they traveled to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard even faster.

And at this moment.

In the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Everything lay in disarray.

Yet the grave soil seemed to possess a self-awareness, quickly restoring itself.

Some Tomb Masters were cursing quietly.

These two idiots, aren’t they tired yet, fighting for years with no benefit to either, why continue?

To the east.

A small old man, only half a person’s height, with long beard touching the ground, held a peach wood stick, grinning and cursing: "Hmph, you nagging tigress, is there no end to your harassment?"

To the west.

The tall white-clad woman, heroic and vigorous, met his gaze coldly and said in a frosty voice, "Why do you know about that matter?"

"Is this your scheme?"

The white-clad woman stared at the small old man coldly.

The small old man, also enraged from the fight, replied impatiently, "How many times do I have to tell you, I don’t know, nor am I interested. Your business with young Emperor Ye has nothing to do with me. If you keep this up, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"I hate dealing with persistent tiger fools like you the most."

This small old man was none other than Mountain Que Immortal King.

Old Mountain.

The white-clad woman opposite him was, naturally, the Northern Yao God of War.

The Sovereign of Dao Chu Ancient Land.

At this moment, Old Mountain was driven crazy by the persistent Northern Yao God of War and was now venting his anger with curses, completely devoid of any demeanor befitting a revered figure.

"Alright, since you won’t admit it, I will just beat it out of you!"

Northern Yao God of War, without getting the answer she sought, cooled her gaze once more and immediately attacked.

This Northern Yao God of War, as Old Mountain had mentioned, was entirely irrational, like a rash man.

Even her fighting style was the same, resorting to close quarters combat, catching Old Mountain off guard.

Despite years of entanglement, allowing Old Mountain to be familiar with her methods, he still had no way to break free, otherwise, he wouldn’t still be stuck there.

If it were elsewhere, he wouldn’t be so stifled.

Truly, young Emperor Ye’s Heavenly Pond Graveyard is not a place to wander.

Old Mountain sighed inwardly, reluctantly defending himself.

Yet another earth-shattering battle ensued, seemingly on the brink of turning the entire Heavenly Pond Graveyard upside down.

It is only here in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Otherwise, where could withstand such a battle of this magnitude?

And this was still under the suppression of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard’s forbidden power.

If there were no such suppression, these two might truly break All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to pieces.

For their strength was simply too terrifying.

The surrounding Tomb Masters, affected, were all cursing.

Meanwhile, they were praying for the swift return of Emperor Ye, as these two were about to turn the world upside down if he didn’t return soon!

Just as the many Tomb Masters thought this battle was going to drag on indefinitely once again.

All of a sudden, the fighting came to a halt.

Both returned to their own positions, simultaneously casting their gazes toward the entrance of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

There, they sensed an approaching familiar presence.

"Little Emperor Ye?"

Old Mountain was surprised and delighted.

Northern Yao God of War squinted her eyes, murmuring: "You’ve finally come..."

Seeing Northern Yao God of War not attacking again, Old Mountain chuckled, "Well, your real enemy has arrived, you can fight him; I won’t stick around."

Northern Yao God of War retracted her gaze, looking at Old Mountain, coldly saying: "You want to escape?"

Old Mountain burst into laughter at those words, "Very few in this world can make Mountain Que Immortal King flee, unless that one appears, as for you..."

Old Mountain looked Northern Yao God of War up and down, mocking: "Still far from it."

Northern Yao God of War seemed indifferent to Old Mountain’s taunts, merely responding blandly: "In those days, during the battle, how come I didn’t see you kill any enemies?"

Hearing this, Old Mountain sobered his demeanor, fixing his gaze on Northern Yao God of War, and then shook his head: "What do you know, brute? That battle was doomed to fail; even if a few were slain, what difference did it make?"

"Don’t speak of you, even that one, facing the suppression of the Heavenly Sea, holding up the Immortal Realm Emperor Pass Great Wall, having dealt with so many Dou Tian Kings, but what was the result?"

Old Mountain shook his head again: "So you don’t understand."

"Bullshit!"

Northern Yao God of War’s cold eyes erupted with killing intent as she icily declared, "If not for the Immortal Emperor turning the tide, do you think All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would still exist? Do you think you’d have the chance to stand here and spout nonsense?"

"Enough, just for those words today, I will engage you in a true duel!"

Northern Yao God of War seemed to have made up her mind to kill, even knowing Emperor Ye had arrived, still resolved to strike at Old Mountain!
