CHAPTER 1054: CHAPTER 1051: EXIT

During the time Ye Xuan entered the Dao Chu Ancient Land, the entire Daozhou Land was evidently not peaceful.

Beneath these upheavals, it seemed to proclaim that a great era was about to unfold.

Of course.

These matters, for Ye Xuan, were temporarily irrelevant.

At this moment.

Within the Empty Ancient City, dawn had arrived.

The night was driven away.

Ye Xuan and his party got up early, ascended the city walls of Empty Ancient City, and set out on their return journey.

"Speaking of which, can we wait for the ship?"

As they climbed the city wall, the little Array Emperor voiced his concern.

Previously, he had witnessed the terrifying nature of the Lantern Sea.

Almost instantly, it swallowed hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

So regarding the Lantern Sea, the little Array Emperor had a psychological shadow.

"If we can’t wait, I’ll kill you and use you as a boat." Qiankun Ancestor said with a smile.

"My body isn’t enough to make a boat." The little Array Emperor rolled his eyes.

"Don’t worry, the array patterns inside your body are very powerful." Qiankun Ancestor said indifferently.

"Damn, you know about this?!" The little Array Emperor was startled.

This was his personal secret.

Unexpectedly, Qiankun Ancestor knew it all?!

"Do you need me to say more?" Qiankun Ancestor glanced at the little Array Emperor.

"No, no, I got it wrong." The little Array Emperor immediately admitted defeat.

Ye Xuan and the others were used to the banter between the two.

"Just two more perilous passes, and we can leave." Zhou Youwei anticipated.

Although she had once passed through ten perilous passes alone to reach Dao Chu Cliff, she seemed to have lost her memory and couldn’t recall it.

So this return journey was truly meaningful to her.

Soon.

The group climbed the city wall.

Standing on the city wall of Empty Ancient City, overlooking the vast Lantern Sea, they felt an indescribable sensation.

However.

The mist shrouded the Lantern Sea, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yet even so, its abyssal, terrifying aura could still be felt.

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan didn’t give the group time to ponder, pulling Zhou Youwei as they flew off the wall.

"Um---"

Zhou Youwei felt the wild wind, holding tightly onto Ye Xuan.

"Wasn’t it said the Lantern Sea would devour souls?"

Zhou Youwei quickly asked as she saw no landing point below.

"The ship has arrived." Ye Xuan grinned.

Zhou Youwei looked around but saw no ship.

But just before they were about to fall into the Lantern Sea, a white line suddenly appeared on the ’sea surface’ of the Lantern Sea.

When they landed, they found themselves on a ship.

"This speed..." Zhou Youwei was astonished.

The ship seemed to have suddenly appeared as if by instantaneous teleportation.

"Um!"

The little Array Emperor exclaimed in surprise, landing safely as well.

Once all five were aboard, the boatman began rowing the boat at a fast pace.

Throughout the journey, they encountered no danger.

Three days passed.

The boatman brought the group to another dock, safely ashore, without passing through Broken Bone Cliff.

After crossing the Lantern Sea, the group returned to the initial Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land.

The darkness beneath the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land seemed gone, but the forbidden power still existed, with countless bones turning into various weapons to attack the group.

Ye Xuan used the ground bones to form a white bone warrior, carrying the group across, keeping the forbidden power at bay.

Seeing the wonders of the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land, Zhou Youwei was amazed.

She wondered how she originally crossed this perilous land.

Despite its danger, she crossed it alone.

Incredible.

Even now, she lacked confidence in safely traversing it.

They hurried along.

Another three days passed.

The white bone warrior carried the group to the exit of the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

A radiant avenue stood there.

As the five stepped onto the avenue, the white bone warrior dissipated.

"Finally, we’ve come out..."

The little Array Emperor looked back, still finding everything surreal.

This journey to the Dao Chu Ancient Land experienced far too much.

Beyond imagination.

Yao Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, showing a smile.

Honestly, she hadn’t expected to make it to the end.

Other cultivators accompanying them retreated after Empty Ancient City.

Only their group reached the end.

----

At the entrance of the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

Though no one was entering the Dao Chu Ancient Land, many still awaited here.

From the Central Earth Divine Continent, each overlord had dispatched powerful figures to guard.

Especially Wind and Thunder Mountain and Xuantian Ancient Country, heavily guarded with troops.

Unlike other overlords, they awaited Ye Xuan’s return.

Once Ye Xuan emerged, they would immediately capture him.

After all, Ye Xuan had killed everyone of Wind and Thunder Mountain.

Those from Wind and Thunder Mountain who entered the Dao Chu Ancient Land died by Ye Xuan’s hand.

For Wind and Thunder Mountain, this is unforgivable.

Previous grievances remain unresolved, now adding another, how can they easily conclude it?

The Floating Divine Tower where Wind and Thunder Mountain temporarily stayed housed numerous strong figures.

Their eyes fixed on the entrance of the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

"The Dao Chu Ancient Land has been open for three months, showing no sign of closing, why has the fog thickened so much? It’s almost like before it opened, judging by the situation, it seems when it closes, the Dao Chu Ancient Land will disappear again?"

An elder from Wind and Thunder Mountain gently stroked his beard, squinting as he spoke.

Beside him, a tall and robust black-robed elder frowned: "Speaking of which, shouldn’t we leave since the Dao Chu Ancient Land is about to vanish, yet we haven’t seen Ye Xuan?"

The elder who spoke first shook his head: "It’s not that simple. This time Wind and Thunder Mountain lost so many people, the Sovereign of the Sect issued a death order, we must guard until the Dao Chu Ancient Land closes before returning."

The black-robed elder sighed: "Damn this Ye Xuan is truly a troublemaker, don’t know where he emerged from, such a menace."

"Do you truly believe all this is Ye Xuan’s doing?" The white-clothed elder expressed calmly: "Ye Xuan is merely a scapegoat. The Sovereign of the Sect surely knows this is Xuantian Ancient Country’s ploy, once this matter ends, Wind and Thunder Mountain and Xuantian Ancient Country will surely clash!"

The black-robed elder expressed surprise: "Old He, Ye Xuan even killed your disciple Liu Cangyun, aren’t you angry?"

The white-clothed elder named He Qianlei, the master of Liu Cangyun, the True Disciple of Wind and Thunder Mountain killed by Ye Xuan.

He Qianlei remained calm: "Anger exists naturally, but my disciple being killed only reveals his lack of skill, no blame on anyone, if able to see Ye Xuan, I might avenge him, yet now Ye Xuan likely perished in Dao Chu Ancient Land, unnecessary hatred holds no merit."

The black-robed elder nodded slightly, agreeing with He Qianlei’s views.

However, he glanced towards another direction, whispering: "Xuantian Ancient Country seems to have discovered something?"
