After the Liu family patriarch was forced to disown his grandson and clean up the mess, Ye Xuan annihilated him and the body, severing all ties. Ye Hongli, though witnessing the Ye Mansion's growing power, felt a sense of loss for the changes that had occurred. Ye Xuan learned from his second uncle, Ye Minghai, that his parents and uncle had left for the Dou Tian Divine Domain two months prior, a place his father and second uncle had visited before.

The river of history flows majestically.

And among those who exist in this river of history, even those with moments of brilliance remain insignificant to the entirety of the river.

Even the dazzling Emperor Era is but a small segment in this extensive river of history.

The Great Emperors from various eras of the Emperor Era are astonishing in historical records.

Yet, they merely fill a small piece of the puzzle that is the Emperor Era.

The Emperor Era itself is just a tiny puzzle piece of the river of history.

But there is one person who has transcended the river of time since the Mythical Era.

He, too, appears small and insignificant within the river of history.

The Great Emperors who existed with him during the Mythical Era mostly perished in the history river.

Yet he continued forward, witnessing the death of emperors and the succession of eras.

He remains eternal in the world.

His name is the Undying Night Emperor.

He harbors an obsession in his heart.

He wishes to see his family.

Time cannot erase his yearning for family; instead, it grows heavier with time.

Thus, returning to his original form, to his homeland, he cherishes this irreplaceable familial bond.

Now Ye Xuan’s suspicions about his father and mother, along with the deep and terrifying thoughts about his family, have begun to unsettle the heart of this Undying Night Emperor.

He was not oblivious to these possibilities.

He suspected he had always been shrouded by schemes.

Perhaps his family was part of the schemer’s means.

As the Undying Night Emperor who traverses all ages, he naturally sees through many things.

But concerning his family, he does not wish to see too deeply.

Yet, inevitably, he must reach this point.

Otherwise, he would not have brought Zhou Youwei back to Wan’an City.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, his gaze calm, and his somewhat restless heart gradually returned to tranquility.

"Uncle, did they say when they would return?"

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Minghai and asked softly.

Ye Minghai shook his head and said, "I’ve been to that place with your father. Although he can transport us there, there are many restrictions, and it’s not possible to return whenever one wishes."

"Last time your father brought me, we hid in a forbidden land there, utilizing its power for cultivation."

"I must say, the cultivation speed in that world is much faster than here in Wan’an City."

Ye Minghai candidly remarked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan squinted slightly: "Uncle, you mean to say that after father went there, he did not associate with others?"

Ye Minghai looked at Ye Xuan oddly and said, "Xiao Xuan, are you suspecting something about your father?"

Ye Xuan did not deny it, nodding: "This matter is of great importance, so I hope you tell me the truth, Uncle."

"Oh, you." Ye Minghai pointed at Ye Xuan, chuckled and said, "Your father was extremely cautious there, not interacting with anyone. He told me, the creatures of Dou Tian Divine Domain are fierce and must not be encountered."

These words somewhat shifted the conjecture in Ye Xuan’s mind.

Perhaps Father merely mastered the means to reach Dou Tian Divine Domain.

When he returns, this matter must be thoroughly questioned.

"Uncle, I want to see if the force you cultivated there has changed."

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Minghai, his eyes revealing mysterious runes.

Knowing Ye Xuan was concerned about him, Ye Minghai did not refuse. Standing where he was, he activated the cultivation technique and remarked, "Xiao Xuan, be careful!"

With that, Ye Minghai struck out a fierce palm.

The terrifying force was contained entirely within the palm, not a single thread was leaked!

Ye Xuan met it with his palm but did not employ any force whatsoever.

Bang————

Their palms clashed, but it was Ye Minghai who retreated several steps.

Ye Minghai was momentarily stunned and then gave a thumbs-up: "Xiao Xuan is getting more formidable!"

Though he knows Ye Xuan is already immensely powerful now, Ye Minghai realizes that Ye Xuan did not use any mana at all, nor did he employ any Dao or Law.

Yet even so, he was rebounded by the force.

Bear in mind, he is an Immortal.

This stature is considered top-tier strength anywhere.

Ye Xuan looked at his uncle, his eyes showing slight surprise: "Uncle, your current realm is Immortal, but your true power has reached Supreme Realm!"

Ye Minghai was equally stunned upon hearing: "Really?"

Since returning from that world, although he has been cultivating, he hasn’t faced any adversaries, thus has little understanding of his own strength.

He only knows he is now an Immortal.

"Indeed!"

Ye Xuan replied confidently: "Solid foundation!"

Initially, he worried a bit about his uncle’s rapid progression affecting the stability of his foundation, but that palm just now cleared all of Ye Xuan’s concerns.

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly understood why some Immortal Kings of the Ancient Immortal Realm struggled against the Divine Lords of Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Foundations differ!

Additionally, those Divine Lords possess Origin Power, which naturally results in a disparity of strength over time.

At the same level, Dou Tian Divine Domain surely has an absolute advantage.

No wonder the Ancient Immortal Realm suffered such tremendous losses.

"That’s good then!"

Ye Minghai smiled broadly: "Xiao Xuan, I’m going out for a stroll. If your father returns, notify me. No matter where I am in East Desolate, with your current strength, you can locate me."

"Alright."

Ye Xuan did not inquire about his uncle’s motive, simply nodding.

He knew his uncle actually carried some unresolved hatred.

But it had never been avenged, and he never spoke of it to the family.

After his uncle departed, Ye Xuan went to find Youwei and Ling’er.

The two were strolling leisurely in the courtyard, with Ye Ling’er introducing some furnishings to Zhou Youwei.

However, Ye Ling’er was rather dismissive, saying these things serve no real purpose, just provide pleasant aesthetics.

At this moment.

Zhou Youwei stopped by the lakeside.

"What’s the matter, sister-in-law?"

Ye Ling’er asked curiously.

Zhou Youwei looked across the lake where Ye Xuan stood, one hand behind his back, and the other grasping the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, drinking.

Ye Ling’er naturally saw it too and muttered: "Drinking so early in the day..."

Zhou Youwei softly said, "Ling’er, you go play, I’ll spend some time alone with your brother."

Ye Ling’er showed a mischievous smile: "Alright, take your time."

Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but laugh; this girl has grown cheeky.

Once Ye Ling’er left, Zhou Youwei floated gracefully to Ye Xuan’s side, removed the Green Bird Sword Cultivation Gourd from her waist, and tossed it to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan put down the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd, glanced at the Green Bird Sword Cultivation Gourd, then at Zhou Youwei, who was radiant and striking, with skin like snow, and said softly, "You want a drink too?"

Zhou Youwei glared at him: "You’re allowed to drink, but I can’t?"

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, "Aren’t you afraid I spiked the drink?"

Zhou Youwei looked speechless: "...I am your wife."
