Ye Xuan buries himself in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, triggering a powerful resonance within his Emperor Soul. He deduces that a corner of the graveyard was tampered with by an unknown, powerful figure long ago. His "Immortal" character begins to heal his soul, while the "Xuan" character remains enigmatic, hinting at a greater cultivation path.

In the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, it’s hard to sense the passage of time, for there’s no distinction between day and night here.

Who knows how long it has been.

Perhaps three days?

Or maybe three years?

This day.

The solitary grave in the deepest part of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard slowly parted, and a large hand emerged.

The pace of the splitting grave soil quickened further.

Soon, Ye Xuan climbed up from within.

He casually shook himself, the soil on him rolling away automatically.

The solitary grave also began to slowly close over, becoming smooth once more.

Ye Xuan’s eyes were clear, and he stepped away.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Ye Xuan’s figure appeared at the site of the large memorial grave of Southern Dipper Ancient Emperor Qiao Tiannan.

Qiao Tiannan’s figure had already disappeared.

It seemed he had returned to lie in the grave.

A small girl in black stood before the monument.

"Master."

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, the little girl in black immediately stood up, obediently calling out.

"By the way, Master, Qiao Tiannan knew you were coming soon, so he went back early to lie down. He said he had his eyes open for too long and wanted to sleep."

The little girl in black relayed Qiao Tiannan’s words to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan gave a slight nod, gesturing for the little girl in black to come over.

The little girl in black flew onto Ye Xuan’s shoulder, tentatively asking, "You don’t blame him, do you?"

Ye Xuan shook his head.

This was his disciple; why blame him?

Moreover, Ye Xuan knew better than the little girl in black how tired Qiao Tiannan was.

Although the existence of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard allowed them to maintain a unique state, it wasn’t absolute. If their eyes remained open for too long, a strong sense of fatigue would strike.

Qiao Tiannan lasting even this long was quite admirable.

Why did Ye Xuan and Ye Bugu drink wine previously?

Was it merely to drink?

Not at all.

The wine helped Ye Bugu stay awake longer, and Ye Xuan didn’t mind heavily pouring for Ye Bugu.

The little girl in black settled on Ye Xuan’s shoulder.

Ye Xuan gently waved his hand.

An invisible forbidden power enveloped the large memorial grave of Qiao Tiannan.

After completing this, Ye Xuan turned and left.

The journey in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard ended here.

...

Xuanhuang Great World.

East Desolate Daozhou.

Red Sparrow Institute.

The Red Sparrow Institute had always been a renowned force in East Desolate.

It was also the most famous sacred land for female cultivators in East Desolate.

In the Red Sparrow Institute, female cultivators made up almost ninety-nine percent.

Male cultivators were few and far between.

Thanks to Ye Xuan, the Red Sparrow Institute has maintained good relations with the Ye Family and Mo family.

Nowadays, the Mo family wields fearsome power across East Desolate.

Because their oldest ancestor Mo Qiankun, a terrifying existence in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, has appeared and sits in the Mo family, who would dare provoke them?

The Red Sparrow Institute thus gained many advantages.

Moreover, there were marriage alliances between the Red Sparrow Institute and the Eternal Mountain Ye Family.

It was between a female disciple of the Red Sparrow Institute and a Ye Family genius.

Named Ye Dong.

This was among the four from Ye Family who followed Ye Xuan in the past.

Ye Dong, Ye Xi, Ye Nan, Ye Bei.

Among them, only Ye Xi was female.

And Ye Dong was a straightforward man, yet he unexpectedly won affection and married first.

Years later, Ye Dong had reached Saint King Realm.

The wedding between both sides was held with much grandeur.

Both the Red Sparrow Institute and the Ye Family placed great importance on it.

Today was the day Ye Dong and his wife Zhou Susu returned home.

As newlyweds, they were affectionate, returning together to the Red Sparrow Institute, accompanied by the escort team from the Institute and the Guardian Team from the Ye Family.

Riding the Crossing Space Spirit Boat, they arrived outside the mountain gate of the Red Sparrow Institute.

Ye Dong and Zhou Susu stood at the front of the Spirit Boat, smiles appearing as they saw they were nearing the Red Sparrow Institute.

"Who is that?"

At that moment, Zhou Susu gently raised her jade hand, pointing to a shadow not far from the mountain gate of the Red Sparrow Institute.

Ye Dong peered into the distance.

But upon recognizing that person, Ye Dong was ecstatic: "Young Master!?"

Speaking this, Ye Dong actually left his wife behind, flying down from the Spirit Boat to the front of the figure, then whipping his robe and kneeling on one knee solemnly: "Ye Dong pays respects to the Young Master!"

At this moment, the true identity of the shadow was revealed.

It was Ye Xuan, who had rushed back from the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

Originally, Ye Xuan intended to walk into the Red Sparrow Institute but noticed a wedding occurring, under the banner of the Eternal Mountain Ye Family, so he paused for a moment.

"You’ve actually gotten married."

Ye Xuan motioned for Ye Dong to rise, shaking his head and chuckling.

Back then, when he brought Ye Dong and others to the Red Sparrow Institute, Zhou Susu had even received them, and Zhou Susu had feelings for Ye Dong then, though Ye Dong was a completely straightforward man.

Unexpectedly, the two ended up together.

Ye Dong, upon hearing Ye Xuan’s teasing, smiled sheepishly, scratching his head: "Young Master has a good memory."

By this time, Zhou Susu had also flown over.

"Ah!"

"Is it you?"

Seeing Ye Xuan, Zhou Susu was equally stunned.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly: "Long time no see."

From the Spirit Boat, the teams from the Red Sparrow Institute and the Ye Family saw the newlyweds fly down and, without waiting for the Spirit Boat to stabilize, quickly flew over too.

After all, both sides greatly valued this wedding; no mistakes were permissible.

"Who is this? Ye Dong’s friend?"

Many female disciples from the Red Sparrow Institute expressed curiosity.

"That’s our Ye Xuan Young Master!"

Ye Nan, Ye Bei, and Ye Xi were also present, and upon seeing Ye Xuan, they immediately recognized him, elated.

"Ye Xuan!? The strongest Reserve Emperor who first walked the Emperor Road!?"

Upon hearing this, others were utterly shocked.

The name of Ye Xuan had long echoed throughout All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Who doesn’t know of him?

Yet seeing such an approachable Ye Xuan at that moment felt surreal.

"Young Master!"

Ye Nan, Ye Bei, and Ye Xi hurried to Ye Xuan’s front, paying respectful homage.

Ye Xuan sized up the three; not much had changed.

Though nearly ten years had passed since they’d met, they were all cultivators, so their appearance hadn’t changed over time.

Especially Ye Xi, who seemed prettier.

Moreover, her Cultivation had become the highest among the four, reaching Saint Emperor Realm.

While Ye Dong and the others were merely Saint Kings.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly: "It seems you all haven’t been neglectful over the years, not bad."

"You don’t need to be formal; I’m just passing through."

Ye Xuan invited them to stand, then looked toward Ye Dong, fetching a pair of Yin Yang Jade Pendants and handing them to Ye Dong and Zhou Susu: "Consider it a gift to make up for your wedding."

"Supreme Dao Weapon?!"

Upon seeing the Yin Yang Jade Pendants, Ye Nan and the others’ eyes widened.

Ye Dong also opened his mouth, quickly waving his hands: "Young Master, this is too valuable; we can’t accept it!"

"We appreciate Ye Young Master’s kind intentions, but this gift is too precious. You should keep it,"

Zhou Susu likewise refused.

Ye Xuan blinked: "Take it; it’s the least valuable I can offer. Anything less, I’d be embarrassed to present it."

Hearing this, everyone wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry.

But considering Ye Xuan’s current status and standing, perhaps the Supreme Dao Weapon truly was the least he could offer.

With this in mind, the couple hesitated no longer and accepted the pair of Yin Yang Jade Pendants.
