Zhou Youwei violently punishes Guming Liang, forcing Heitian Qilong to reveal information about the mist-shrouded Sacred Lands. Ye Xuan discovers the cultivation of vessels began ninety thousand years ago and suspects a larger scheme. After planting Soul Seals on Guming Liang and Heitian Qilong, Ye Xuan uses Blood Image and Duomu Zhongjin to transfer their Origin Power, transforming them into temporary Dou Tian Divine Domain beings. Finally, Ye Xuan helps Jin Que recover his memories, revealing his true identity as Kaiyang Wuqu, a Golden Ancient God, and tasks him with becoming a vessel.

"I respectfully obey Emperor Ye’s decree!"

Jin Que received the order with reverent respect.

Within the Beidou Seven Veins, some once said that Kaiyang Wuqü and Yuheng Lian Zhen had betrayed them.

But in truth, there was no such thing as betrayal.

The people of those two veins were using the opportunity to go under the Double Emperors’ command to investigate.

Within the Heavenly Domain, among the Beidou Seven Veins, there are people of those two veins.

Yuheng Academy, Kaiyang Divine Sect.

All of these.

But Jin Que belongs to neither of them.

Because he is a lone wanderer.

Directly under Ye Xuan’s command.

In his previous life he was also a God Sealer.

Just like the Qiankun Ancestor and Kuang Nu.

However, in this life, his foundation is even better.

He is Heaven and Earth Primordial Gold.

As long as he achieves Divine Enthronement, his strength will inevitably be at an absolutely pinnacle level.

For him not to walk the Emperor Road is the correct choice.

A God Sealer has no need to bear Tian Ming.

This is something basically everyone knows.

As Jin Que recovered the memories of the Golden Ancient Gods, and that kind of mastery over the Dao—

His affinity with Origin Power also reached its peak at this moment.

But to be safe, Ye Xuan still followed the same method, first having Duomu Zhongjin and Blood Image use Origin Power to baptize Jin Que, then himself using Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power to help him absorb that power.

Next would be the most crucial step.

Ye Xuan handed the Time Disk and Taixu Pearl to Zhou Youwei; Zhou Youwei understood, and with both items in hand ascended into the sky, pouring vast Mana into them, so that this place would continue to operate as normal.

Yet internally, it was still being altered by the Time Disk and Taixu Pearl, completely under Ye Xuan’s control.

Everything that happened here would go unnoticed by the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan did not hesitate further; he grabbed the monster body at his side and tossed it toward Jin Que, Heitian Qilong, and Guming Liang.

In an instant.

A thin black membrane once more surfaced over the three of them.

But the three showed no change in expression, maintaining their respect toward Ye Xuan at all times.

"As expected, it works."

Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile faintly.

His verification had succeeded.

"Try forcing that power out."

Ye Xuan said.

The three acted in unison.

Very soon.

That monstrous phantom surfaced once more.

All three of them could manipulate this power.

This was what Ye Xuan wanted to see.

"What thoughts do you have?"

Ye Xuan looked toward Blood Image and Duomu Zhongjin.

The two were from the Dou Tian Divine Domain, and naturally also knew some of the methods of the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s question, Duomu Zhongjin was the first to speak: "Master is formidable, but this kind of power carries great drawbacks. If it is used continually, it will damage the Death Soul Power of this Four-Arms-Two-Heads race. When that happens, even if a Dou Tian King were to act with Origin Power to heal them, they still could not be revived."

"Furthermore, once the Dou Tian Divine Domain opens a Domain Gate and can come to this place, this power will be directly reduced to nothing."

"Of course, because of Master’s unique Origin Power, the people of the Dou Tian Divine Domain will also be unable to descend using their bodies."

Duomu Zhongjin laid everything out.

Blood Image opened his mouth, only to find he seemed to have nothing left to say, so he uttered two words: "That’s right."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan gently shook his head and said, "I have already calculated this. This in itself is meant to curb the foolish ambition of this world. As for the Dou Tian Divine Domain side, I have other arrangements."

"Master’s plans lack no stratagem."

Duomu Zhongjin couldn’t help but flatter him.

Only, with that sharp voice of hers, no matter how one listened it was uncomfortable.

Add to that the eyes covering her entire body—she truly looked eerie and unsettling.

"I’m giving you two a task: sweep away all the power that the Dou Tian Divine Domain has left in this world. Whatever cannot be purged, bring back to me."

Ye Xuan said in a calm voice.

"We respectfully obey Master’s command!"

The two did not say another word. After taking the order, they directly vanished.

Whether Duomu Zhongjin or Blood Image—

Their strength was terrifying.

Especially Blood Image.

He could directly seize Jiang Ziyu’s body, and could at a flick of his hand defeat that Quasi-Emperor level ancestor of the Jiang Family.

Such power could be called among the very top tier of the current world.

After being subdued by Ye Xuan, Blood Image still had done nothing.

Now Ye Xuan had finally deigned to assign them a task.

"You three should leave as well."

Ye Xuan said to Jin Que and the other two.

Jin Que hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Emperor Ye, what about that group from before?"

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. "Handle it yourself as you see fit."

Jin Que said, "Those people either strayed into the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld by mistake, or were captured and brought here. They know nothing of this world, but it cannot be denied that they possess very strong affinity. If we make use of them, they could be quite a great aid."

After recovering his memories, Jin Que had become somewhat cold and iron-blooded.

Though those people were very innocent, he was still considering their utility.

Southern Dipper governs life; Northern Dipper governs death.

For Jin Que to be in the Beidou Seven Veins was not without reason.

"Just do not casually ruin their lives."

Ye Xuan left him with that single sentence.

Very soon.

Jin Que and the other two departed.

Heitian Yucheng was, of course, also taken away.

In the sky, only Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, husband and wife, remained.

"Let’s wait."

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei and spoke softly.

Zhou Youwei lightly nodded her delicate head.

After a short while.

Zhou Youwei broke the silence: "Your sword... I’ve actually always wanted to ask."

Ye Xuan raised a hand and beckoned; Guo Hezu returned to his hand. He lifted the sword in his hand. "I call it Guo Hezu."

"In Chinese chess, once a pawn crosses the river, it has only advance, no retreat."

"I don’t know what it was called in the past, nor do I know who its previous master was."

"I only know that right now, it belongs to me."

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Youwei and said with a smile, "Of course, if Youwei wants it, I can still give it to you. But Youwei, you have the Daluo Sword Embryo; you definitely don’t need Guo Hezu."

Zhou Youwei was silent for a moment, then said, "I have seen its previous master."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly. "I’ve heard people say that it should have slain quite a few of the Dou Tian Divine Domain’s people at the Emperor Pass Great Wall."

Zhou Youwei’s gaze fell upon the sword body of Guo Hezu, and she spoke softly: "It has slain a Dou Tian King."

Ye Xuan suddenly tilted his head, looking at Zhou Youwei, and asked in puzzlement, "Did you use to pay attention to that fellow?"

Zhou Youwei froze for an instant, then shook her head. "I cultivate the Heartless Path. Before you, I never paid attention to anyone."

Ye Xuan grinned. "Then there’s nothing more to talk about."

Zhou Youwei lightly pressed her red lips together, a faint ripple rising in her beautiful eyes. "Yet that person has many similarities to you."

Ye Xuan gathered away his smile, looking at Zhou Youwei. "You mean that I am also a Reincarnator from that war?"

Zhou Youwei withdrew her gaze and shook her head. "As for your identity, I fear no one can see through it. Even if I use my true body’s power, I cannot do so."

Ye Xuan looked at the Guo Hezu in his hand, falling into contemplation.

After a long time.

Ye Xuan placed Guo Hezu into the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd and spoke softly: "There are many riddles I myself have yet to unravel. After this matter is concluded, I still have to make a trip to the Underworld and take a look at Reincarnation."

Zhou Youwei took the initiative to reach out and hold Ye Xuan’s hand, speaking softly: "I’ll go with you."

In truth, she very much wanted to say—

In the Underworld’s Reincarnation, nothing can truly be seen.

In truth, he also wanted to say that he already knew.
