Ye Xuan buries Emperor Hua in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard and then visits the tomb of his foster son, Ye Bugu. He reflects on Ye Bugu's past and the unique nature of the graveyard, offering wine at his son's grave before leaving.

With the wine spilling on the ground, Ye Xuan’s words fell.

Behind that enormous tomb, a crack slowly appeared.

A shriveled big hand reached out from it.

The big hand propped itself on the side, as if its owner was using it to sit up.

A moment later.

A thin man wearing a blood robe, with disheveled hair, sat up from the tomb.

He sat in place for a long time, as if savoring something.

He...

Seemed to have slept for a very, very long time.

So long that it felt like countless epochs had passed.

He seemed to have lost many memories.

He needed some time to recall.

"...Ye Bugu."

"Find adoptive father."

The blood robed man spoke softly, perhaps because he had slept too long, his throat was dry and harsh, sounding like a fierce ghost.

But when he finished saying those six words, the blood robed man’s emaciated form began to gradually swell at that moment.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a young man.

He raised his head slightly, revealing those pitch-black eyes like the night.

Very clean, with a hint of arrogance and unruliness.

He climbed out of the tomb, sitting on the tombstone, watching the black robed youth pouring wine in front of the tombstone.

Since that black robed youth was bowing his head, he couldn’t see the youth’s face.

But sensing that unique aura on the black robed youth, he knew who had come!

"Adoptive father!"

The blood robed youth jumped down from the tombstone, leaping in front of Ye Xuan, looking at him with great joy.

Ye Xuan looked at the excited blood robed youth and couldn’t help but smile slightly, extending the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd in his hand to the youth.

The blood robed youth was slightly taken aback, but still obediently accepted the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd. Looking at Ye Xuan, he said excitedly, "Adoptive father, I finally found you!"

Ye Xuan pointed at the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, indicating to drink first and talk later.

Seeing this, the blood robed youth didn’t waste any words and tilted his head to take a gulp.

"Cough cough..."

This backfired, as the Eternal Demon Emperor Ye Bugu, who had drunk all the world’s strong spirits, was now coughing to a flushed face.

However, Ye Bugu didn’t feel embarrassed at all, instead, he said with great surprise, "Adoptive father, what kind of wine is this?"

Even though he hadn’t drunk much, the power in the wine made Ye Bugu noticeably feel that his body had actually recovered some vitality!

This was something unprecedented.

Since he last awoke, he could no longer feel the vitality in this body.

He even had a hunch that if he walked out of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, this body would turn to ashes in an instant.

As if it had never existed.

This is why he hadn’t left.

The power of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was indeed strange, but this power allowed them to survive in another form.

At this moment, the recovery of vitality seemed to prove that this body was not completely dead!

"Drink more if you like it."

Ye Xuan said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Bugu took another swig without further ado.

Having had the prior experience, he wasn’t choked again.

After taking a big gulp, Ye Bugu praised it but still returned the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd to Ye Xuan.

No matter how tasty it was, it belonged to his adoptive father, so he couldn’t drink too much. Otherwise, what would his adoptive father drink?

Ye Xuan smiled broadly and took back the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd.

Between father and son, no words were needed.

"Adoptive father, who are these two?"

Ye Bugu also noticed Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu standing not far away, so he asked.

Ye Xuan pointed to Qiankun Ancestor: "Qiankun Pot, you should call him senior."

Then he pointed to Kuang Nu: "Kuang Nu, you should also call him senior."

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu clasped their hands in salute to Ye Bugu.

Ye Bugu returned the gesture: "Ye Bugu greets the two seniors."

Then, Ye Bugu turned his gaze back to Ye Xuan, grinning: "Adoptive father, this body has a blood relation with me!"

Ye Xuan glanced sideways at Ye Bugu.

Ye Bugu shrank his neck slightly and chuckled: "Just kidding, adoptive father, don’t be angry."

Ye Xuan wasn’t really angry, but a shadow did cross his heart.

Seeing his adopted son Ye Bugu, he was actually even more puzzled.

Why did the Emperor Burial Lord bind his Life Soul during the Mythical Era, and everything that happened afterward affect all the years to come?

And when he returned to the Ancient Era using the Time Disk and Taixu Pearl, everything would return to its course, even the memories of Little Qiankun and Kuang Nu would be erased.

The cultivation breakthroughs he made in the Ancient Era also turned to nothing.

If not for the Time Disk and Taixu Pearl, would his memories have been erased as well?

This matter was still worth investigating.

Because his Eternal Emperor Soul was the most terrifying soul power state in history.

No Great Emperor had ever reached that level.

Yet because of this, he couldn’t understand any of it.

He even had a terrifying thought.

He...

Was originally the Undying Night Emperor, and only then was he Ye Xuan.

But this made no sense at all.

"Adoptive father? Are you angry?"

Seeing that Ye Xuan didn’t reply, Ye Bugu asked, a bit worried.

Back when his adoptive father taught him, he was extremely strict. He still had a psychological shadow from it.

Ye Xuan snapped back from his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "It’s nothing."

"That’s good."

Ye Bugu breathed a sigh of relief.

That expression was nothing like the Eternal Demon Emperor.

But the Eternal Demon Emperor, though he was the Eternal Demon Emperor, was even more so Ye Bugu.

He is the adopted son of the Undying Night Emperor!

At this moment, in front of his adoptive father, even if he was the Eternal Demon Emperor, he was still the adoptive son.

Ye Xuan casually reached out into the void, condensing two large bowls.

The Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd floated up, filling both bowls with wine.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Bugu was somewhat puzzled.

Ye Xuan gently waved his hand, and one of the bowls flew in front of Ye Bugu. He said softly, "Today, we two will not leave until we’re drunk."

Ye Bugu grinned when he heard this: "Great!"

With that, he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go.

Ye Xuan did not lag behind.

Not far away, Qiankun Ancestor saw this scene and signaled to Kuang Nu, preparing to move farther away.

Kuang Nu, with his single eye, seemed not to notice.

Qiankun Ancestor glared at him crossly, said irritably: "Damn it, can’t you read signals? Move away."

Kuang Nu pulled back his gaze, didn’t argue, and followed Qiankun Ancestor to move some distance away.

Leaving Ye Xuan and Ye Bugu, the father and son, to drink and chat.

This time, Ye Xuan did not hide much from Ye Bugu, telling him many things about himself.

When Ye Bugu heard about these deeds, his eyes reddened a little: "Actually, I always knew you must be an exceptional existence, especially after I became an emperor, I was even more certain of that."

"It’s just that you’re too good at hiding. Even after I became an emperor, I couldn’t find a trace of you."

When he said this, Ye Bugu was uncharacteristically a bit aggrieved.

Ye Xuan scolded with a laugh: "Oh come on, you’ve become an Eternal Demon Emperor, and you’re still like a little grudge-bearer."

Ye Bugu grinned again when he heard this: "That’s true, if the future generations saw it, how unbecoming would that be!"

Ye Xuan’s drinking action suddenly paused.
