Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei prepare to enter the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld. After a brief, playful exchange and a change of attire for Zhou Youwei, they set off. They travel through the void, observing the myriad worlds, before arriving at their destination. Upon reaching the entrance, guarded by members of the Black Sky and Guming clans, Zhou Youwei senses something amiss and decides they should enter directly.

"Is this your first time coming to our Black Sky Ancient Netherworld?"

The well-dressed middle-aged man from the Guming Clan bowed to Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, asking with a smile, exuding a friendly demeanor.

In the eyes of this Guming Clan guardian, neither Ye Xuan nor Zhou Youwei appeared as themselves; rather, they were perceived as members of the Demon Race.

This was the strategy of Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

Both were naturally aware that within the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, there existed certain forbidden existences. If those entities were to sense their actions, it might result in some peculiar changes.

In such a situation, it was naturally necessary to employ some tactics.

"Yes, we heard that the Spiritual Energy in your world is extraordinary, so my wife and I came upon hearing the news."

Ye Xuan replied with a polite smile.

The middle-aged man from the Guming Clan nodded immediately and said, "That’s correct. The Spiritual Energy in our realm is suitable for cultivators of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. We welcome you both to our world."

After speaking, the middle-aged man from the Guming Clan made a polite gesture of invitation.

Simultaneously,

The guardian from the Black Sky Clan also stepped aside, allowing them passage to the Divine Bridge and access to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

"Then let’s take a look."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then said to Zhou Youwei, "Shall we go, my lady?"

Zhou Youwei appeared sweet and demure, looking up to Ye Xuan, coquettishly saying, "I’ll follow your lead, my dear."

In the eyes of the Guming Clan and the Black Sky Clan, they saw a loving couple.

"Please ascend the Divine Bridge, and once you cross that Divine Gate, you will enter our realm."

The middle-aged man from the Guming Clan had a rich voice, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of urgency.

"Please, you two..."

The Black Sky Clan’s strong guardian opened his mouth slowly, his voice like that of a ghost, quite terrifying.

Especially when paired with those almost entirely white, terrifying eyes.

It looked all the more eerie.

Ye Xuan reflexively looked at the Black Sky Clan individual.

The man also eyed Ye Xuan.

Their gazes met.

There was a kind of insidious cold power, invisibly winding around Ye Xuan, as if attempting to manipulate him.

Ye Xuan’s gaze remained calm as still water as he slowly withdrew his glance.

"This guy..."

The strong guardian of the Black Sky Clan was mildly shocked inside.

This guy was able to dodge that force of karma?

Hmm!?

The next moment, the Black Sky Clan’s strong guardian suddenly stiffened, then bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, expressing utmost reverence.

Witnessing that scene, the Guming Clan’s strong guardian was naturally taken aback, somewhat surprised.

This Heitian Wujue, who considered himself at the Third Layer of the Great Saint Realm, was usually quite arrogant.

Even when the Black Sky Demon Palace ordered him to guard this place, he had caused a lot of trouble.

The reason being Heitian Wujue’s reluctance to show welcome and respect to any of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

And as his partner, he had been criticized by the Guming Divine Dynasty.

Thus, towards Heitian Wujue, he was quite dissatisfied deep down.

Just constrained by this guy’s superior strength, so he dared not complain much.

For he was merely a person of ordinary bloodline from the Great Sage Realm’s First Layer in the Guming Clan.

He would remain at this level his entire life.

So witnessing Heitian Wujue show such respect now was exceedingly surprising.

However, this was just as well, sparing him from accompanying grievances.

Thoughts like this made Guming Ji’an also show respect.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei walked together onto the Divine Bridge.

The two walked side by side.

"There’s indeed a problem."

Ye Xuan spoke slowly.

But his voice only reached Zhou Youwei’s ears.

Zhou Youwei nodded lightly upon hearing.

Just now, when her husband met eyes with Heitian Wujue, a subtle contest took place.

Heitian Wujue attempted to manipulate her husband.

Too bad Heitian Wujue underestimated her husband’s power; just a glance subdued him.

This explained why Heitian Wujue had turned so respectful.

Unfortunately, Guming Ji’an was unaware and showed the same respect to them.

"This Black Sky Ancient Netherworld outwardly appears friendly, inviting cultivators of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to experience cultivation. In actuality, there are significant issues; otherwise, such occurrences wouldn’t happen."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, speaking gently, "Perhaps those who entered the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld previously have all been manipulated..."

The current reputation of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld is excellent among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Because those strong individuals who went to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld talked highly of this realm after leaving.

In these people’s mouths, it had even surpassed the Heavenly Domain.

After all, the Heavenly Domain had restriction rules, requiring a Saint Realm cultivator to ascend.

Yet these people seemed to have forgotten a point.

Those who could travel to the Outer Void had a minimum strength of Great Sage Realm.

What place would such powerhouses not be accepted?

There must be substantial intrigue involved!

Besides,

According to Ye Xuan’s knowledge,

The Black Sky Ancient Netherworld...

Apart from the Black Sky Clan and the Guming Clan.

The rest of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would encounter severe rejection.

Even Ye Xuan’s former monster body had been severely rejected.

It’s just that Ye Xuan was overly powerful at that time.

But now, the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld has proactively opened up, allowing so many cultivators of all races to visit.

What changes could have occurred, still remains unknown.

Moreover, this information is accurate.

This Ye Xuan had already verified repeatedly through the Mystical Hall, the Void Sect, and Dao Xuan Sect.

He also wanted to see what had changed in the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, resulting in such a drastic transformation.

Heitian Wujue and Guming Ji’an watched Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei depart, not hearing their conversation.

Soon after.

Guming Ji’an straightened up, somewhat impatient, muttering, "I don’t even know when this order will be revoked, putting on respect for these ants every day is truly disgusting..."

Heitian Wujue slowly straightened his posture, glancing at Guming Ji’an without speaking.

Guming Ji’an looked at Heitian Wujue, puzzled, asking, "Brother Wujue, what changed in you today?"

Heitian Wujue replied calmly, "If you don’t understand, then stay quiet. It’s an order from above. Just carry out your duty diligently, don’t ruin the grand scheme."

Guming Ji’an was speechless, thinking, How could such words from you not feel hypocritical?

You never followed the order before, always displaying impatience and resulting in criticism from above.

Why are you lecturing me now?

Utterly baffling.

Though dissatisfied, since Heitian Wujue was stronger, Guming Ji’an dared not say much, so he continued guarding his post, waiting for the next "traveler" from other worlds.

Just looking at fellow workers on other Divine Bridges, Guming Ji’an felt appeased.

Everyone’s the same.

Moreover...

Once the grand scheme is successful.

Then billions of races of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds will look up to our Guming Clan and Black Sky Clan!

Current dissatisfaction.

Is only temporary!
