The Changxi Empress made a grand appearance, drawing the attention of many and causing sects to pledge allegiance. She then entered the Great Emperor battlefield to confront Emperor Mu and Ye Xuan. Meanwhile, Gu Changge and Snow Aunt sensed that Ye Xuan would survive his encounter with the Double Emperors, a sentiment echoed by an elder who hinted at Ye Xuan's true, unfathomable power. Inside the battlefield, Ye Xuan struggled against Emperor Mu's Sky Slaughter Blood, but the Changxi Empress intervened, shattering the technique with her arrival.

"Senior Sister."

Emperor Mu slightly raised his brows but still managed to utter.

Empress Changxi replied coldly, "You seem to have forgotten what I told you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mu sneered, "Ridiculous, why should I heed your words?"

Boom!

Before the words settled, Empress Changxi made a fierce move.

The entire sky was engulfed by endless thunder.

It was as if the whole Thunder Pond had been moved over to crush Emperor Mu!

"Heh, are you looking to start an Emperor Battle now?"

Emperor Mu grinned, raised his hand, and threw a punch toward the heavens.

Thud ————

The punch aimed to sink the sky.

Countless thunders vanished instantly.

Yet Empress Changxi had no intention of stopping. With a wave of her jade hand, it brought along vast Dao Laws.

Buzz buzz buzz ————

The entire Great Emperor battlefield.

Visible to the naked eye, a widespread formation of Dao Patterns was created.

That was substantial Dao Laws.

Under the utilization of Empress Changxi, it was fully materialized.

"Maniac!"

Seeing this, Emperor Mu couldn’t help but curse.

Though he knew for a long time that this senior sister had some issues with her mind, he didn’t expect her to be so unreasonable.

Though Empress Changxi previously mentioned wanting to kill Ye Xuan herself, he was the one who arrived first.

While he was complaining, now that he’s here, she started attacking him right away.

What does this mean?

"Form steel from earth."

With a gentle tap of his right index finger in the void.

A ripple spread out.

The infinite Dao Laws aimed at encompassing Emperor Mu suddenly froze in place.

Emperor Mu stared at Empress Changxi, coldly saying, "Are you striking against me now because you have unfinished ties with Master and wish to assist him?"

Empress Changxi’s beautiful face turned icy cold, her voice chilling as though it came from beneath Jiuyou, inducing soul-shaking fear: "I’ve made it clear, Emperor Ye killed by my hand, you’ve crossed the boundary!"

Emperor Mu slowly revealed a strange smile, "I said you’ve been entangled with this matter, it appears you really have unfinished ties with Master!"

"This matter will absolutely be reported to that predecessor!"

Empress Changxi coldly stated, "Are you threatening me?"

At this moment, Emperor Mu had no reservations, coldly responding, "Think as you will."

In their conversation, neither gave Ye Xuan any attention.

They hardly glanced at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s current strength is undoubtedly astonishing, but since both are true Great Emperors, they didn’t deem him worth noting.

In fact, in Emperor Mu’s view, if Empress Changxi hadn’t interfered, he might have already brought Master down.

The seat on the Divine Altar has been occupied for too long.

It’s time to give way.

"That predecessor, is it the nine-colored human shadows?"

Ye Xuan’s cultivation has already returned to the peak of Quasi-Emperor, instead of looking at Empress Changxi, he spoke to Emperor Mu.

Emperor Mu glanced at Ye Xuan, indifferently said, "As I mentioned, since you know, stop asking."

Ye Xuan stretched his neck, making cracking sounds, calmly saying, "In that case, you two are pawns of the Dou Tian Divine Domain?"

At this, Emperor Mu paused, "Dou Tian Divine Domain? What is that?"

Ye Xuan looked at Emperor Mu, upon seeing the reaction, he couldn’t help but recall the old man he encountered in the Demons Great World.

That old man had a Golden Vertical Eye.

What the old man said back then was deeply impressive to Ye Xuan.

Now Emperor Mu’s reaction clarified some things for Ye Xuan.

"Indeed..."

"Is this the real truth behind it!"

Ye Xuan contemplated in silence.

Besides the Ancient Immortal Realm and Dou Tian Divine Domain from then, there exist other Domains.

Nine-colored human shadows.

Golden Vertical Eye.

And that existence once imprisoned under East Treasure Cliff by Ye Xuan.

Even that Heavenly Dragon Emperor from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, Xia Zhi.

Oh.

Now claimed as God Destruction.

All this has unraveled Ye Xuan’s inner confusion from the past.

No wonder things didn’t match up.

Initially thought it was merely internal struggles within Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Now it seems it involves interference and competition from other Domains.

Then...

What’s their target?

The target of Dou Tian Divine Domain is clear—it’s the origin of Ancient Immortal Realm.

But the End War back then devastated the Ancient Immortal Realm without finding the so-called origin.

After the birth of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, where exactly is the origin?

This subtly reveals an answer to Ye Xuan.

The origin might be his Taoist Body.

This insight came upon seeing the Dou Tian King in the Jiang Family of Hong State.

Though this is just a hypothesis by Ye Xuan.

Yet, it is highly likely to be the case.

Since the Taoist Body’s power is too perplexing.

Even the Origin Power from Dou Tian Divine Domain, in certain aspects, isn’t a match for the Taoist Body.

Why does Dou Tian Divine Domain desire the origin? Isn’t it to strengthen themselves?

This implies that the origin of Ancient Immortal Realm is immensely powerful.

"Then I, Ye Xuan, do I really have a previous life?"

This brings forth a new problem.

Previously, Ye Xuan was certain he had no past life.

Now, he’s not so sure.

Especially due to the existence of Guo Hezu, making Ye Xuan ponder this deeply.

Could he be a reincarnation of a great power from Immortal Ancient?

Then who is the Emperor Burial Lord?

Are they a protector of the origin of Ancient Immortal Realm?

Intentionally capturing his Life Soul, allowing him to regain it in this body later to swiftly recover his strength and grow rapidly?

If that’s the case, then maybe the Emperor Burial Lord has become one of his allies?

In this moment, countless conjectures flooded Ye Xuan’s mind.

But these remain merely speculations; uncovering the truth requires a gradual exploration.

For now, he cannot ascertain it.

Ye Xuan regained focus, cast a glance at Mu Yun, then at Changxi.

One was once a valued disciple.

One was once his Daoist partner.

They betrayed him at that pivotal point ninety thousand years ago.

And many events unfolded at that pivotal point ninety thousand years ago.

The possibility cannot be dismissed of these two being used as pawns.

Ye Xuan formed a Dao Seal with his right hand before his chest, his gaze clear, calmly saying:

"Heaven and Earth as one."

Boom!

In an instant.

Everything vanished in the world.

Turning into a vast white landscape.

Nothing existed.

Only the three of them remained.

Ye Xuan lowered his right hand, calmly stating, "Speak."

Emperor Mu frowned at Ye Xuan.

Empress Changxi ceased her madness but lowered her head without looking at Ye Xuan.

"If you won’t speak, then let me,"

Ye Xuan calmly declared, "Ninety thousand years ago, I suppressed the monster body using the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons so my Life Soul could return to this current body, Changxi knows this."

"Mu Yun is aware of some of this."

"During this period, both of you came in contact with the nine-colored human shadows, what did they tell you? Coupled with your bit of ambition, you betrayed me."

"That’s what happened back then, isn’t it?"

Ye Xuan’s expression remained utterly calm, absent of earlier emotions.

Perhaps...

This is the real Ye Xuan.
