North Yao Shenwu, unsettled after her encounter, is intercepted by Mountain Que Immortal King, Old Mountain. He reveals he is an undercover agent for an unknown figure, tasked with monitoring Emperor Ye. Old Mountain uses a half of the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token to prove his allegiance and suggests Emperor Ye's origins are suspicious, mentioning encounters with powerful beings. North Yao Shenwu, though skeptical, is shaken by the token and leaves to stabilize her Dao Heart before investigating the Old Immortal Shop.

Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Ye Xuan and Ye Bugu, the father and son duo, were drunkenly intoxicated.

Of course.

Only Ye Bugu was drunk.

Ye Xuan would not get drunk.

He drank simply because he enjoyed the taste, which reminded him of many things.

Watching Ye Bugu mutter incessantly after drinking, Ye Xuan smiled.

This little brat.

"Go back and sleep, this time you shouldn’t sleep for too long. I’ll wake you up midway, and by then, there won’t be time to sleep."

Ye Xuan said softly.

But Ye Bugu leaned against his own tombstone and slept soundly, not hearing a word Ye Xuan said.

Then, Ye Xuan directly tossed Ye Bugu back into the tomb.

With a heavy ’thud’.

Judging by Ye Xuan’s force, there seemed to be a bit of personal grievance involved.

Ye Bugu lay back in the tomb as the earth automatically covered him.

The Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd automatically hung around Ye Xuan’s waist, and Ye Xuan patted the dust off his hands, speaking softly, "It’s time to resurrect the little Red Sparrow."

This time, Ye Xuan did not plan to stay on the outskirts of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

He went into the depths of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Using the Heavenly Stele as the boundary, beyond the stele belonged to the depths of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu, seeing the father and son finish drinking, immediately followed Ye Xuan.

Inside the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, there is no concept of day and night.

It’s always a gray fog.

Indistinct.

Shrouded in mist.

And let’s not mention the horror of the Forbidden Power of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, just the mist alone is enough to make many powerful beings feel despair.

Those who came to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, were they really self-imposing a seal?

Of course not.

Among them, quite a few powerful beings came to dig graves and rob tombs to obtain treasures.

But those with such thoughts usually became nourishment for the grave soil.

Once they entered the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, they found they couldn’t leave.

Lost.

Their powerful Divine Sense was useless against the fog in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

The cultivators who managed to escape the Heavenly Pond Graveyard eventually died from the erosion of the Forbidden Power, as they no longer had its protection.

These beings had one thing in common.

After death, they left no corpses, as if they vanished into thin air.

Only Ye Xuan knew, these corpses hadn’t disappeared; they were eroded by the Forbidden Power, becoming nourishment for the grave soil, quietly returning to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Getting anything from the Heavenly Pond Graveyard is impossible.

With time, everything will be returned.

In the depths of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, the tombs are relatively sparse.

However, looking into the mist, one can still see numerous graves, large and small.

In these tombs, even if there are steles, they bear no inscriptions.

No one knows who is buried in these graves.

Time flows slowly.

Ye Xuan and his two companions gradually disappeared into the mist.

It’s unclear how much time passed.

The mist echoed with wailing sounds, like ghostly cries, eerily chilling.

The mist sometimes surged like a dragon, at times calm as water, constantly shifting.

Gradually, the mist dissipated, and then suddenly condensed again.

Numerous graves visibly transformed.

It seemed there were many new graves.

And some old graves suddenly vanished.

At this moment.

Ye Xuan and his companions had already reached the depths of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Finally, after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Ye Xuan stopped before a solitary grave.

Ye Xuan signaled to the two to start digging the grave.

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu immediately obeyed.

Due to the Forbidden Power of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, the two couldn’t use Divine Power to dig the grave, and had to scrape it open bit by bit.

After much effort, they finally unearthed the solitary grave.

Inside that solitary grave, there was sheer darkness.

Ye Xuan crouched before it, gently wiped his hand through the void,

Buzz—

The darkness instantly rippled like a calm lake, spreading outward.

In the blink of an eye, waves of terrifying force surged forth from the darkness.

That force was enough to make even Kuang Nu and Qiankun Ancestor apprehensive.

"What’s down there?"

Even having been with Ye Xuan for so long, Qiankun Ancestor did not know.

Ever since Ye Xuan accepted Jiang Yan as his disciple, Kuang Nu spent most of the time with the Jiang Family and knew even less.

Boom!

The next moment.

It seemed like a heavy hammer struck the darkness, a sudden bulge emerged.

Boom boom boom—

Subsequent waves of even stronger force continued to batter the darkness.

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu wore serious expressions, readying themselves.

Ye Xuan’s eyes remained calm, observing the scene calmly.

After some time passed, the force finally subsided.

Ye Xuan extended a finger, lightly poking the darkness, then gently slashed through it.

A ripping sound ensued.

The darkness was sliced open, and endless light flooded in.

"You two stay here."

Ye Xuan instructed them, then leaped toward the endless light, vanishing into the darkness.

Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu glanced at each other, silently keeping their posts.

Ye Xuan entered the boundless light.

But this light didn’t blur Ye Xuan’s vision.

Everything became clearer.

The Immortal Cranes soared, flapping their wings.

Below was an endless great river meandering.

And on both banks of the river were...

Graves.

Countless graves.

The darkness Ye Xuan tore open was actually a grave.

But within this grave lied an expansive world.

This was part of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

There are many similar graves.

This might explain why a tiny portion of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was seen inside the Southern Ghost Tomb before.

However, even now, Ye Xuan didn’t understand why there was a section of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

During his stewardship of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, no such events occurred.

Perhaps it happened much earlier.

Ye Xuan didn’t dwell much on this matter.

What belongs to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard will eventually return.

It’s only a matter of time.

Ye Xuan ceased his descent, landing on an Immortal Crane.

Buzz—

The next instant, the Immortal Crane transformed into a slab of White Jade, spreading out to form a grand hall.

Ye Xuan stood at the center of the hall.

Ye Xuan lightly waved a hand, opening a Void Gate.

The other end of the Void Gate was a flowery Sacred Land for cultivation.

At that moment, the little Red Sparrow was cultivating there.

Sensing Ye Xuan’s call, the little Red Sparrow flew out from the Void Gate, transforming into a beautiful young girl in a maple-red long dress.

"Brother Emperor Ye."

The little Red Sparrow beamed, seemingly in great spirits.

Ye Xuan gave her a once-over, nodding with a smile, "You’re recovering well."

The little Red Sparrow blinked expectantly, "Is Brother Emperor Ye going to help the little Red Sparrow forge a body?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, "Of course."

One of Ye Xuan’s key purposes for coming to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard was to reshape a body for the little Red Sparrow.
