Ye Xuan and his companions depart East Mountain after appointing a new guardian. They travel through various continents and realms, eventually crossing into the chaotic Outer Void, heading towards the Heavenly Pond Graveyard. Meanwhile, at the graveyard, the Mountain Que Immortal King and Northern Yao God of War are engaged in a fierce, long-standing conflict, seemingly over information Ye Xuan possesses. Their battle is interrupted by the sensed arrival of Ye Xuan.

Old Mountain felt the emotional fluctuations of Bei Yao Shenwu, and couldn’t help but feel his eyelid twitch.

Damn it.

Maybe I overdid it!

"Stop!"

Old Mountain hurriedly interrupted Bei Yao Shenwu’s momentum, solemnly said, "I have never shown the slightest disrespect to her. On the contrary, I respect her!"

"Who among those who know of that battle doesn’t respect her? Although I, Mountain Que Immortal King, am arrogant, I know the gap between me and her. I also understand this situation. Without her previous feats, this wouldn’t be possible, so I hold her in high esteem. I hope you don’t misunderstand this point!"

Old Mountain emphasized these words and finally said, "I’m just simply mocking you."

Upon hearing Old Mountain’s words, Bei Yao Shenwu was surprisingly less angry.

She couldn’t bear to hear anyone speak ill of Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

Because...

She once followed Hong Yao Immortal Emperor!

"Mock me? You dare?"

Bei Yao Shenwu glanced at Old Mountain with extreme disdain, and said flatly, "If you could really kill a few of the Dou Tian Kings, then how would I mind your ridicule? But unfortunately..."

"You haven’t killed a single one!"

Old Mountain wasn’t angry at this remark, and instead, said with a smile, "Because my goal is to end that battle, not focusing on those Dou Tian Kings."

"Unless I can kill all the Dou Tian Kings and the powerful ones in Dou Tian Divine Domain, the battle cannot end, so what impact does killing a few Dou Tian Kings have?"

Old Mountain seemed to be speaking to Bei Yao Shenwu, yet also seemed to be talking to himself.

But from their conversation, both were absolute warriors who existed since the Immortal Ancient Era.

However, Old Mountain did not seem to participate in that battle.

Using Bei Yao Shenwu’s words, Old Mountain hadn’t killed a single Dou Tian King.

Bei Yao Shenwu didn’t bother wasting words anymore, disdainful to speak with a coward.

She was waiting for Emperor Ye.

For a true showdown.

And at this moment.

Emperor Ye arrived!

At the entrance of Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Ye Xuan once again spread his arms, greedily absorbing that familiar aura.

"Wow, Master is truly a pervert."

The little girl in black clothes had her face pale from the shock of that power. Seeing Ye Xuan’s actions, she made the same comment as before at the ancient Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Master is a pervert!

Qiankun Ancestor similarly glared at the little girl in black, telling her to stop talking nonsense.

After absorbing that familiar aura, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, his expression calm.

Back at Heavenly Pond Graveyard!

This time he was well aware that he would not see himself, but would encounter Bei Yao Shenwu.

And...

Old Mountain!

The words he had spoken to Old Mountain in the ancient times were basically nonsense.

Old Mountain was still within Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

The more it was so, the heavier Ye Xuan’s heart felt with gloom.

Who exactly was the Emperor Burial Lord...

This question seemed to remain forever unanswered.

Ye Xuan didn’t dwell on this question. For now, he needed to return to Heavenly Pond Graveyard to resurrect the little Red Sparrow and help bury Emperor Hua, making him the Tomb Master for resurrection.

As for why he didn’t use the power of Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power in conjunction with Emperor Hua’s corpse for direct resurrection, Ye Xuan had his considerations.

First, making Emperor Hua the Tomb Master could enhance Ye Xuan’s strength to another level, and secondly, it made controlling Emperor Hua easier.

This fellow wasn’t very obedient; making him the Tomb Master was the best option.

After all, this guy wasn’t Blood Image or Duomu Zhongjin, unable to directly plant the Soul Seal for control.

Besides.

There was another headache — facing Bei Yao Shenwu...

Back then, he had plotted against Bei Yao Shenwu and later deceived her emotions.

Now Bei Yao Shenwu had regained her memory, it would be surprising if she didn’t find trouble with him.

If his strength was still at its peak, it would be easier to handle.

But the key point was that his current strength was not comparable to his peak.

Fortunately, Bei Yao Shenwu also knew this and chose to wait for him at Heavenly Pond Graveyard, giving him a chance.

In Heavenly Pond Graveyard, Ye Xuan had an absolute advantage.

Just like when Ye Xuan entered Dao Chu Ancient Land, even if he used all his power, he couldn’t completely suppress Bei Yao Shenwu.

Because at Dao Chu Cliff, Bei Yao Shenwu had the geographical advantage.

Frankly speaking, a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its native territory.

And now, the local snake has become Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, stepped into Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Kuang Nu, Qiankun Ancestor, and the little girl in black followed closely.

With Ye Xuan present, they weren’t eroded by the Forbidden Power of Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Although.

The grave soil of Heavenly Pond Graveyard continued to move closer.

Whenever they took a step, the soil surged forward, trying to swallow them.

And as they stepped forward, the soil returned to normal.

Especially Ye Xuan, each step caused the grave soil to rush like a tide and then retreat.

Repeating endlessly.

Like a pilgrimage.

In the distance.

Bei Yao Shenwu felt Ye Xuan entering Heavenly Pond Graveyard and didn’t linger, heading directly towards Ye Xuan.

Old Mountain followed closely behind.

He didn’t mind watching from the sidelines.

"Those two guys finally left..."

Seeing Old Mountain and Bei Yao Shenwu departing, the surrounding Tomb Masters finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were Tomb Masters on the periphery of the Heavenly Stele, unable to withstand the two’s turmoil.

Given the terrifying Forbidden Power of Heavenly Pond Graveyard, otherwise, they would have been swept away long ago.

"The Emperor Ye has returned!"

At this moment, a piece of news spread swiftly through Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Instantly, the Tomb Masters of Heavenly Pond Graveyard were greatly shaken.

Many Tomb Masters directly returned to their graves, unwilling to come out.

The Tomb Masters of Heavenly Pond Graveyard, more or less, had been fooled by the Undying Night Emperor.

Initially, even the Undying Night Emperor wasn’t the Sovereign of Heavenly Pond Graveyard, and he was fooled many times by the Tomb Masters inside.

But later, when the Undying Night Emperor became the Sovereign of Heavenly Pond Graveyard, those Tomb Masters paid a hundredfold price.

Of course, many Tomb Masters rushed quickly to the outermost area, planning to welcome the return of Emperor Ye.

Blood Slaughter Demon Emperor was one such.

He had forced his way out of Heavenly Pond Graveyard using Soul Escape, but encountered Ye Xuan in Divine Continent. He even cooperated with Ye Xuan to fool Nine Netherworld Phoenix, thus being taken under Ye Xuan’s wing.

Now that Emperor Ye had returned, he naturally wanted to prepare as a loyal subordinate.

The Demon Coffin darted through Heavenly Pond Graveyard, filled with demonic qi, and within was a pair of Blood Slaughter Demon Pupils, quite intimidating, but at this moment those eyes were filled with excitement.

He had waited for many years!

Boom!

The next moment.

Blood Slaughter Demon Emperor suddenly felt his Demon Coffin sink heavily.

Someone was fiercely stepping on it, smashing it to the ground.

Before Blood Slaughter Demon Emperor could get angry, he saw a tall woman in white standing on the Demon Coffin, with hands behind her back.

"Damn it, running into this guy!"

Blood Slaughter Demon Emperor felt utterly speechless.

Simultaneously, Blood Slaughter Demon Emperor sensed that the aura of the Emperor Ye was nearby.

Very close!
