Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei arrive at Nourishing Heaven Palace and learn that a guided tour of the realm, including a visit to a cultivation Sacred Land, will begin once ten thousand cultivators have gathered. They suspect this Sacred Land may be a trap and decide to investigate the other cultivators present, noticing a girl from the Guming Clan exhibiting traits of the Dou Tian Divine Domain. After subtly disabling the girl's ability to follow them, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei explore the Nourishing Heaven Palaces to observe the other cultivators and search for clues about the Black Sky Ancient Nether, whom they cannot locate.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Youwei turned her body sideways, her beautiful eyes staring at the side of Ye Xuan’s face as she reached out and gently touched him.

Ye Xuan instinctively grasped Zhou Youwei’s delicate, boneless jade-like hand, turned his head to look at her, and smiled, "So what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Youwei smiled faintly, "I currently have only one thing on my mind, and that’s dealing with the Dou Tian Divine Domain."

Ye Xuan also turned to look at his family beside him, smiling, "Me too."

"Then... let’s sleep."

Zhou Youwei forced a smile, withdrew her jade hand, laid flat, and slowly closed her eyes.

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei’s side profile, still so beautiful.

But no matter how he looked, he could see a deep concern.

She was very worried.

Very worried about the resurgence of the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Especially the changes in the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, which clearly made her feel the urgency.

How could Ye Xuan not see this?

Before entering the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, he had already noticed it.

He just hadn’t said anything.

Ye Xuan moved in front of Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes vigilantly surveying Ye Xuan, "What are you doing?"

Ye Xuan looked down at Zhou Youwei and calmly said, "Nothing at all."

Zhou Youwei pushed Ye Xuan, but when she couldn’t budge him, she said irritably, "Go to sleep."

Ye Xuan said, "I can’t sleep."

Zhou Youwei said irritably, "Then go die on the side."

Ye Xuan shook his head, and said in a serious tone, "Husbands and wives should share the same bed."

Zhou Youwei lightly bit her red lips, her eyes warning, "This is the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld!"

Ye Xuan suddenly backed away, with an innocent expression, "I just said share a bed, didn’t say anything else, you’re thinking too much, my little Youwei."

Zhou Youwei’s face flushed instantly, seemingly recalling some past experience, she shot Ye Xuan a glare, "...I can’t be bothered with you."

Ye Xuan lay back down, his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling, and said softly, "How’s your strength recovery coming along?"

Zhou Youwei didn’t expect Ye Xuan to change the topic so quickly, after a moment’s pause, she shook her head slightly, "Not very optimistic."

"Back then, during that battle, I was always focused on suppressing the Heavenly Sea; although now the Heavenly Sea has undergone some changes, it still requires a very long time to refine it."

Ye Xuan was startled by this, looking at Zhou Youwei, somewhat in shock, "You want to refine the Heavenly Sea?"

The Heavenly Sea, this Forbidden Land, was definitely not weaker than the Emperor’s Fall Realm or the Ancient Heavenly Court Forbidden Lands, perhaps even more terrifying in some aspects.

Because the Heavenly Sea itself was not an Ancient Immortal Realm nor a Forbidden Land of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds; it came from the Dou Tian Divine Domain!

Back then, the Dou Tian Divine Domain, in order to seize the Origin Power of the Ancient Immortal Realm, aimed to suppress the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, who was their biggest headache.

So they used the Heavenly Sea, intending to suppress the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

But they didn’t expect the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor to be like a monster, withstanding the Heavenly Sea while slaying several Dou Tian Kings.

After the final decisive battle, the Ancient Immortal Realm was obliterated.

The Heavenly Sea also underwent some changes as a result.

After Zhou Youwei regained her memories, the first thing she did was return to the Heavenly Sea, because she knew that the only way to recover her power was through the Heavenly Sea.

After she fell, her entire cultivation had almost scattered into the Heavenly Sea.

Only by refining the Heavenly Sea could she recover her power the fastest.

"After refining it, facing the Dou Tian Divine Domain would also provide a greater chance of victory, but unfortunately..."

Zhou Youwei did not finish her sentence and lightly sighed.

"Unfortunately, there’s not enough time, right?" Ye Xuan completed Zhou Youwei’s unsaid words.

Zhou Youwei remained silent.

Indeed, this was the case.

There wasn’t enough time.

One could even say that the time was too short.

"Don’t forget, you still have me."

Ye Xuan said softly.

Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan, smiled, and said nothing.

"What does that mean?"

Seeing Zhou Youwei’s reaction, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying irritably, "Honestly, Youwei, you probably aren’t my match right now."

Zhou Youwei said, "How do you figure?"

Ye Xuan grinned.

Zhou Youwei had a foreboding feeling.

......

That night.

The Guming Clan girl guarding outside the Yangtian Palace blushed deeply.

It wasn’t until dawn that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking inside the Yangtian Palace, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Is this what the Demon Race is like, truly fierce."

In her view, Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan were both from the Demon Race, which was also the tactic used by Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

Of course, in appearance, there wasn’t much change; she just didn’t know they were Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

By the time the sun was high.

The Guming Clan girl received a message, and she quickly tiptoed into the palace, softly calling for Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

It took a while before she got a response.

The Guming Clan girl quickly said, "There’s a message from a senior saying you can start heading to the Thousand Sword Valley now."

"Alright."

Ye Xuan replied with one word.

A moment later.

Ye Xuan emerged with Zhou Youwei.

However, today, Zhou Youwei had changed from a black robe back to a moon white robe.

Despite not being fitted, it still made Zhou Youwei appear like a Nine Heavens Mysterious Goddess descending to earth, exuding a natural immortal aura.

Both of them had Sword Nurturing Gourds hanging from their waists.

One was Snow, the other Bluebird; both were the most top-notch Sword Nurturing Gourds of the current era.

Except for Gai’s own long-hidden treasures, these two Sword Nurturing Gourds were the most precious.

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

The Guming Clan girl quickly led the way.

The two followed behind.

In no time, they arrived before a magnificent and vast Immortal Mountain.

No.

Upon closer inspection, that Immortal Mountain was surprisingly a divine turtle flying in the air.

The divine turtle and the Immortal Mountain seemed to be integrated as one.

The mountain itself appeared to be the turtle’s back.

At this moment, cultivators from different clans were emerging from the Yangtian Palace, stepping onto this divine turtle Immortal Mountain.

"This is our Black Sky Ancient Netherworld’s unique Immortal Mountain Crossing Turtle, capable of crossing a small world in one day."

The Guming Clan girl took the initiative to introduce, "Upon boarding the Immortal Mountain Crossing Turtle, our clan’s strong cultivators will receive you and join fellow cultivators from various clans to tour our domain, ultimately reaching that Sacred Land for cultivation."

She specially handed them each a Snow Jade Token engraved with the Immortal Mountain Crossing Turtle, then saw them off as they boarded the Immortal Mountain Crossing Turtle.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei mingled with the crowd and walked onto the Immortal Mountain Crossing Turtle.

On the Immortal Mountain Crossing Turtle, there were two formidable individuals.

One from the Guming Clan, the other from the Black Sky Clan.

Both were experts of the Great Saint Realm at the Fifth Layer.

The aura emanating from them was particularly terrifying, like a deep abyss or hellish prison.

But what caught Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei’s attention even more was the shallow black membrane on them that others couldn’t see...

Wasn’t that precisely the power of the Dou Tian Divine Domain?

Zhou Youwei’s expression turned serious.

She now somewhat suspected that the entire Black Sky Ancient Netherworld had already become a domain of the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

If true.

A catastrophe might be approaching!
