The white-clad young man's negotiation with Black Sky Ancient Nether failed, and he was swiftly repelled. Black Sky Ancient Nether's true form remained elusive, shifting and changing before settling into a stunning woman's guise. Meanwhile, the Luotian Grand Jiao initiation ceremony concluded, with Gui Guzi and Huang Shigong remaining to guard the sealed crevasse. Back in the Xuanhuang Great World, nine divine altars ignited the Nine Altars Divine Fire, prompting a widespread ascension of Daoist sect members. Ye Xuan then appeared at the center of the divine fire, surprising many by taking a central role in the Luotian Grand Jiao.

"Is there a change in the Daoist sect?"

At this moment.

Countless powerful Daoist figures felt a shiver in their hearts.

Traditionally, those presiding over the Luotian Grand Jiao have been unparalleled Daoist masters, respected elders, or representatives of the sect’s new generation of prodigies.

But having an outsider preside today is unprecedented.

They even felt that the real force to halt the Luotian Grand Jiao had just arrived?!

Suddenly, voices erupted across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Those who knew Ye Xuan, including those prodigies walking the Emperor Road with him, were momentarily dumbstruck.

How did Ye Xuan possess such abilities?

How did the Daoist sect agree?

Very few truly knew the inside story.

"Don’t panic, look, the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor is clearly present, and when Ye Xuan approached, the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor obviously consented!"

At this time, a calm Daoist expert analyzed.

But some were puzzled: "How can this be? Ye Xuan isn’t even part of our Daoist sect, how did it come to this?"

No one could answer this query.

At Louguan Platform, many were baffled.

Yet the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor showed no sign of explaining, his eyes continuously fixed on Master Ye Xuan.

Amidst the public’s attention.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the center of the Nine Altars Divine Fire, hands forming the Primordial Chaos Seal, his eyes slightly closed.

At this moment.

Ye Xuan emptied himself.

But also at this moment.

Ye Xuan seemed to become the Heavenly Dao of this realm, able to clearly perceive all operational laws of the world, and distinctly sense every creature’s emotional change.

He naturally felt the many opposing voices within the Daoist sect.

He heard the woes of the world’s beings.

He smelled the foul stench of the evil spirits from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

He saw wandering souls unable to cross, becoming fierce ghosts that plague the land.

The myriad of worldly matters all returned to Ye Xuan’s heart.

Ultimately.

Everything scattered into nothingness.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Only the sound of a heartbeat echoed in Ye Xuan’s ears.

Gradually merging with Ye Xuan’s heartbeat.

Brightness dispersed.

Only boundless darkness enveloped.

Ye Xuan entered the most astonishing state of emptiness since the awakening of his Emperor Soul.

It was at this moment.

Ye Xuan slowly spoke:

"Beidou Nine Celestial Sovereigns, Central Heaven Great God."

"Ascend the golden court, descend to cover Kunlun."

With these words.

Instantly sweeping across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Some felt it resonate like thunder, shaking their souls.

These people were undoubtedly true members of the Daoist sect, and... the successors of the Beidou Seven Veins.

Or perhaps... members of the Dao Xuan Sect.

"Is this..."

Even the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor was wide-eyed in disbelief at this moment.

"The long-lost Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell?!"

The Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor exclaimed.

At this moment, not only the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor, but also many Daoist sect elders who’d slept for countless ages, opened their eyes, tears welling up.

Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell.

This was an incredibly stunning scripture within the Daoist sect.

But it had been lost for so long, so long.

Even the most orthodox Daoist inheritances among the Ten Grotto Heavens, Thirty-six Grotto Heavens, and Seventy-two Blessed Lands—totaling 118—couldn’t gather the Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell.

Could Ye Xuan hold this spell?!

At this moment.

The opposing voices within the Daoist sect quickly dissipated.

"Could this guy be a reincarnation of a Daoist Ancestor?"

Duan Qingcang, a descendant of the Qingtian Divine Sect in Heavenly State, watched the shocking scene in Earth State from afar, his brow slightly furrowed.

Daoist Luotian Grand Jiao, witnessed by Myriads of Worlds.

He stood in the Xuanhuang Great World, with regional advantages, naturally observing the ceremony.

He never imagined Ye Xuan would preside.

And Ye Xuan reciting the Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell surprised Duan Qingcang greatly.

He’s good friends with Zhou Ye, who once mentioned the Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell.

But this scripture had been lost for so long, practically impossible to retrieve.

Could it return to the Daoist sect today?

Duan Qingcang, with such curiosity, listened intently.

After all, if one could memorize this scripture, it would be an immense opportunity!

Many held the same thought as Duan Qingcang.

Because they all knew this scripture was extremely terrifying, possessing it was akin to having a Great Emperor Immortal Skill.

Any Great Emperor Immortal Skill in the Great Emperor Immortal Sect was a secret not to be shared.

And at this moment.

Ye Xuan seemingly lost in his own world, recited:

"Adjust and regulate, govern Qian Kun. The leader, Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Lucun."

"Wenqu Lian Zhen, Wuqu Pojun. High Jade Emperor, Purple Emperor Lord."

"Grand Circulation boundary, finely into dust. What disaster not extinguished, what fortune not attained."

"Mysterious Emperor’s True Qi, come converge with me. Heavenly Gang’s direction, day and night always revolving."

"Ordinary dwellers and seekers of Dao crave the spiritual. Wish to see the divine figure, eternally preserve Changsheng."

"Three Altars of empty essence, Six Purities harmonious creation. Give birth to and nurture me, protect my form."

"..."

Ye Xuan uttered each syllable.

The Daoist sect was rocked to its core, their doubting of Ye Xuan vanished completely.

On the contrary.

Their reverence for Ye Xuan now equaled that for the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor.

Because in their eyes, Ye Xuan must be a terrifyingly powerful reincarnation of a Daoist Ancestor.

Otherwise, the Four Symbols Daoist Ancestor wouldn’t have allowed Ye Xuan to preside over the Luotian Grand Jiao, nor recite such a long-lost scripture as the foundation for this Grand Jiao.

"What? Why can’t I hear clearly what he’s saying?"

Yet simultaneously, many beings were scratching their heads, their faces red with frustration.

They’d expended much effort trying to memorize the Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell, but no matter how they tried, it slipped away.

As if grasping flowing sand; no matter how hard you try, the sand still slips between your fingers.

Soon, someone sighed in frustration: "This scripture spans the ancient and modern, unless the Daoist Ancestors listen, even a Great Saint or a Quasi-Emperor Realm invincible existence cannot memorize it."

Indeed, this was the case.

However, those who did remember were from the Beidou Seven Veins.

At this time, they realized the scripture was the codex of the Beidou Seven Veins’ inheritance methods!

It was then they understood the true origins of the Beidou Seven Veins.

Apparently, the Beidou Seven Veins had been established by Ye Xuan after a discussion on the Dao with a Daoist Ancestor, inspired by insights gained.

Thus, the Beidou Seven Veins inherently held deep ties with the Daoist sect.

Some were anxiously trying to memorize the Tai Shang Xuan Ling Beidou Divine Spell.

Others were indifferent.

For there were more pressing matters.

Such as Lu Li of the Ancient Rakshasa Sect in Hong State, clutching a black halberd, gazing towards Earth State.

Or Zhu Xiuxiu of the Zhu Family at Southern Saber Mountain in Daozhou, wielding the saber left by the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor, yawning while actually keeping tabs on Earth State.

Or rather, they were focusing on Ye Xuan.

Because they all understood one thing clearly.

An enemy was coming.

And they were targeting Ye Xuan.

If Ye Xuan were merely the Ye Xuan they knew, that would be fine.

But after recovering their past life memories, they knew Ye Xuan was....the husband of their former lord, the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor!
