Ye Xuan returned to the Endless Sea and met the Dragon King, who confirmed that the mysterious white-robed woman seen with the Sovereign of the Endless Sea was indeed the Emperor Burial Lord. Ye Xuan then confronted the Sovereign of the Endless Sea, learning that the Emperor Burial Lord had visited him and instructed him to tell Ye Xuan that those who went to the Emperor's Burial Ground are still there.

"She said those who went to the Emperor’s Burial Ground back then are still there. If you truly wish to save them, find some time to personally visit the Emperor’s Burial Ground."

When the Sovereign of the Endless Sea said this, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those who went to the Emperor’s Burial Ground...

Naturally, it was Lie Tian and his group.

But somehow these words always had a taste of conspiracy.

Would the Emperor Burial Lord use such an obvious scheme?

Ye Xuan didn’t know.

But he doubted they would do so.

Yet he couldn’t rule out this possibility.

After all, the other party might have also calculated that he believed they couldn’t have such shallow schemes.

Moreover.

Even if the other party had no schemes whatsoever, Ye Xuan still did not trust the Emperor Burial Lord.

Regarding this person, Ye Xuan reserved the utmost vigilance.

Moreover, his current strength wasn’t enough to support him in traveling to the Emperor’s Burial Ground.

If he truly intended to go to the Emperor’s Burial Ground, he would at least need to elevate his strength to the level of the past.

Back then, Ye Xuan was confident in seeking out the Emperor Burial Lord.

But because the monster body itself was cultivated by the Emperor Burial Lord, he wasn’t sure if that guy had other means, so he never returned to the Emperor’s Burial Ground.

He was known as the Forbidden Land God; only this forbidden place did he frequently visit during the Mythical Era.

After breaking free from the Emperor Burial Lord’s control, he never went back.

"Still, let’s talk about your understanding of him."

Ye Xuan regained his composure, looked at the Sovereign of the Endless Sea, and said softly.

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea nodded slightly, speaking softly: "Let me start from when I first became aware of her."

"Last time I told you that at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, there came that battle, which ultimately led to the destruction of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"Nowadays, All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds are the rebirth of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"This world, compared to the Ancient Immortal Realm, has weakened greatly, greatly."

"Do you know why?"

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea posed a question to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan breathed slowly: "Naturally, because that battle shattered too much of the Ancient Immortal Realm’s power."

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea shook his head: "Actually, that’s just one reason. Another more important reason is that the Dao of the Ancient Immortal Realm scattered, creating an unprecedented boundary for the reborn All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds."

"That’s also why after that, people from the Dou Tian Divine Domain couldn’t enter this realm at all."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan revealed a hint of a different color.

Previously, he actually always had this question.

After all, the Dou Tian Divine Domain could even breach the Ancient Immortal Realm’s boundary, so why could a weakened All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds stop Dou Tian Divine Domain’s advance?

Ye Xuan had studied many ancient histories, trying to understand through various channels, yet hadn’t obtained a decent answer.

Now, the words of the Sovereign of the Endless Sea provided Ye Xuan with a true answer.

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea continued: "And at the start of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds’ birth, a batch of naturally invincible monsters was born too. This needs no further explanation."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

This point he was aware of.

Just like his old adversary back then — the Undying Black Venerate.

This guy was one of them.

And the Old Chong Xu who suppressed the Undying Black Venerate was the same.

"As these beings were born, some of the forbidden lands of the Ancient Immortal Realm gradually surfaced. Although we were all in our slumber back then, we could still sense this due to our once powerful Immortal Souls."

"The Emperor’s Burial Ground was one of them."

"However, although this forbidden place could be sensed as belonging to the Ancient Immortal Realm, actually no one had ever seen it or come into contact with it, including myself."

"I’ve never heard of this name either."

"As for the Endless Sea, I’m sure you know, it requires periodic openings to absorb Immortal Qi to restore my strength."

"It was during one such occasion that I met the Sovereign of the Emperor’s Burial Ground — the Emperor Burial Lord."

"There wasn’t much conversation between us, just a brief discussion about future perspectives, that’s all."

"That was the only time I saw the Emperor Burial Lord, and the second time was three days ago."

After finishing, the Sovereign of the Endless Sea looked at Ye Xuan and calmly said, "Maybe you won’t believe it, but each word I said is true."

Ye Xuan furrowed his eyebrows, tightly staring at the Sovereign of the Endless Sea: "Are you sure the Emperor’s Burial Ground is a forbidden land of the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea nodded: "Very sure."

"Do you have any other information?"

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea looked at Ye Xuan, a bit surprised.

Ye Xuan calmly replied: "According to what I know, on the Dou Tian Divine Domain’s side, there was a King of Dou Tian who once entered the Emperor’s Burial Ground."

"What!?"

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea’s eyes suddenly condensed.

The King of Dou Tian entered the Emperor’s Burial Ground?

"Didn’t she tell you about this?"

Ye Xuan looked at the Sovereign of the Endless Sea.

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea’s face looked a bit unsightly, he shook his head.

Ye Xuan suddenly laughed: "Then the words you just said have no credibility."

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea remained silent.

At this moment, he even felt like he might have been deceived.

"But what’s the point of her deceiving me?"

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea raised his head to look at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently: "That depends on what role you can play. As the Sovereign of the Endless Sea, being that Immortal Emperor’s subordinate, the words she says to you have a guiding role for you, and then through you to guide others."

"Perhaps it’s to unwittingly turn you into a traitor of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"Impossible!"

The eyes of the Sovereign of the Endless Sea gradually flashed a ferocious blood-red: "I will never betray the Immortal Emperor, nor will I betray the Ancient Immortal Realm!"

Ye Xuan looked at the slightly out-of-control Sovereign of the Endless Sea, knowing he couldn’t obtain any useful information from this guy.

Perhaps this guy was also kept in the dark.

Besides...

Did the Emperor Burial Lord truly leave the Emperor’s Burial Ground?

Anyway, since returning to the Mythical Era, he had never seen them.

Perhaps this time, the visiting Emperor Burial Lord was just a scheme of the Emperor Burial Lord?

Everything was uncertain.

Ye Xuan didn’t stay any longer, but turned and left.

The Sovereign of the Endless Sea watched Ye Xuan’s departing silhouette, hesitating to come back to senses.

He doubted, doubted if he truly had been deceived by the Emperor Burial Lord.

Regarding these, Ye Xuan wasn’t interested at all.

He returned to the Xuanhuang Great World, revisiting the forbidden land, to search for more information.

The Endless Sea had already yielded results.

Next, Ye Xuan planned to make a trip to the nearby Dingzhou.

Within Dingzhou.

Forbidden Land — Death Netherworld.

Back when all Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions faced problems simultaneously, the Death Netherworld expanded, almost covering half of Dingzhou, forcing various Dingzhou overlords to respond.

Especially the Southern Dipper Ancient Country nearby, with half of its western territory engulfed.

The Corpse God Temple in the north of the Death Netherworld had no choice but to relocate entirely to the northern White Dragon Mountain Range, to associate with the Demon Race.

(ps: The plot is too much and too complicated; Old Ghost needs to sort it out. Writing slowly, please excuse.)
