CHAPTER 1057: CHAPTER 1054: DEPARTURE

"Trying to escape?"

The Qiankun Ancestor chuckled softly and flicked his finger.

Whoosh————

A mysterious light flew from the Qiankun Ancestor’s fingertip, penetrating through the back of Weng Tianyao’s head and shooting out from his forehead.

In a single strike, he instantaneously eliminated the pillar of the Xuantian Ancient Country.

No mercy whatsoever.

And the remaining soldiers, upon seeing Weng Tianyao’s death, were like a leaderless dragon, falling into chaos.

They never expected their commander to be so vulnerable.

The powerful figures from the surrounding overlords witnessed the scene and were as silent as cicadas in winter.

The might of the Qiankun Ancestor was beyond everyone’s imagination.

"Just what is this Ye Xuan’s background? Previously he had the Fist Venerate Ao Rulong by his side, and now there’s another terrifyingly powerful figure appearing. Could he be the Saint Heir of some reclusive Sacred Land?"

"Seems like it, otherwise where would all these powerful figures come from to support him?"

"......"

Many cultivators began to speculate internally.

Due to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Ye Xuan’s origins had yet to be revealed.

Amongst the people present, only Yao Yueqing knew Ye Xuan’s true identity.

He was the invincible prodigy who had trampled across the top ten overlords of the East Desolate!

Truly the demeanor of a Great Emperor!

"Master, Mistress, please."

After dealing with the enemies, the Qiankun Ancestor stepped aside respectfully.

Ye Xuan, holding Zhou Youwei’s hand, continued walking forward.

This time, no one dared to obstruct them.

"Brother Xuan, I guess we’ll part ways for now, see you next time!" The Little Array Emperor greeted Ye Xuan.

"Alright." Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Ye Xuan, see you next time." Yao Yueqing also bid farewell.

Now that they had exited the Dao Chu Ancient Land, it was time to part ways.

"After you return, make sure to cultivate diligently. I will come to Shaking Light Ancient Sect next time to evaluate your progress." Ye Xuan smiled slightly at Yao Yueqing.

Yao Yueqing was momentarily stunned, then she smiled and said, "Alright, next time I will defeat you!"

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, smiling indifferently as he and Zhou Youwei walked forward into the air.

The Qiankun Ancestor followed behind.

Soon, the three of them left the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land would remain open for some time, but no one would dare to enter.

Additionally, after this opening of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, a significant change was destined to occur.

As for what change it would be.

Only heaven knows.

"Husband, do you have an agreement with Sister Yao?"

On the way, Zhou Youwei asked with curiosity.

"No." Ye Xuan shook his head.

"Mistress, don’t misunderstand, this matter I can testify to. The Master merely took that young girl as his subordinate." The Qiankun Ancestor interjected.

Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously, "Is it really like that?"

Ye Xuan nodded, "Indeed, that’s correct."

Zhou Youwei hummed softly, "You seem rather half-hearted."

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Previously, when I acquired the Ancient Character, I borrowed Yao Yueqing’s hand. Her Pure Saint Body would thus vanish, and because of this, I gave her a promise to make her my subordinate."

Yao Yueqing’s Sacred Body was destined to dissipate.

The previous changes had already proven this point.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Xuan made Yao Yueqing his subordinate.

Coupled with the Beidou Pojun Crow Grave heritage, even without the Pure Saint Body, Yao Yueqing’s future achievements would be nothing short of remarkable.

"I see..." Zhou Youwei contemplated, "Then you truly should compensate her."

A Sacred Body represents something significant, Zhou Youwei understood that.

For a major sect, this is a status equating to a potential Saint Heir or Holy Daughter.

In the future, such individuals are bound to become pivotal figures.

Moreover, the dissipation of a Sacred Body is a burden that would be difficult for anyone to bear.

A weak Dao Heart might even lead one to ruin and descend into nothingness.

"Rest assured, what needed compensation has been compensated." Ye Xuan laughed.

What he had just told Yao Yueqing was true.

When the time comes, he will visit Shaking Light Ancient Sect to verify whether Yao Yueqing has cultivated into the Beidou Pojun.

"Where are we headed now? Aren’t we returning to the Emperor Immortal Sect?" Zhou Youwei inquired.

"No rush, let’s first make a trip to the Supreme Pavilion." Ye Xuan chuckled.

"Supreme Pavilion..." Zhou Youwei repeated softly, "My Master said that the Supreme Pavilion is stronger than the Immortal King Hall, is it true or not?"

Ye Xuan pondered momentarily, then said in a low voice, "Overall, there’s actually not much difference between the two."

"Wu Muchen likely refers to the Dragon Raising Technique."

"Dragon Raising Technique? Is it the one with the Divine Dragon Azure Sea?" Zhou Youwei asked in surprise.

"Qi Fortune Dragon." Ye Xuan replied slowly.

————

The news of Ye Xuan returning alive from the Dao Chu Ancient Land spread quickly.

Primarily because the Qiankun Ancestor’s annihilation of Weng Tianyao, He Qianlei, Ming Xuelin, and Fenghai True Person was so shocking that it couldn’t help but be disseminated.

After all, these figures were renowned.

Especially Fenghai True Person, followed by Weng Tianyao.

The news of their deaths quickly reached Wind and Thunder Mountain and the Xuantian Ancient Country.

Immediately, Wind and Thunder Mountain and the Xuantian Ancient Country were inflamed with rage.

Especially the Xuantian Ancient Country.

The Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person were summoned by the Human Emperor to the Golden Throne Hall, where they faced questioning.

Back then, when the Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person returned to the Xuantian Ancient Country, they assured the Human Emperor that Ye Xuan had already died in the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

And it was supposedly Demon Flame Emperor Gu Shang who personally killed him.

But now, Ye Xuan walked out alive.

This news itself may not have been much, but it resulted in the death of the pillar Weng Tianyao and a Heavenly Gods Army.

This responsibility naturally fell upon the Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person.

After being questioned, both were in disbelief.

When they left Empty Ancient City, Elder Gu Shang assured them he would kill Ye Xuan.

But now, Ye Xuan reappeared.

This left them perplexed.

"How did that guy manage to come out?"

The Xuantian Saint Heir was bewildered.

"Something must have happened during that time, we must find him and get to the bottom of what transpired." Nine Heavens True Person’s expression darkened.

Though when he thought of that beast-like figure beside Ye Xuan, he shuddered.

Earlier, before the Broken Bone Cliff, he had been beaten senseless by the East Desolate Wolf.

"The reports mention he’s headed to the Supreme Pavilion. We’ll have to wait until he exits the Supreme Pavilion to make a move," the Xuantian Saint Heir said.

"Hmm." Nine Heavens True Person nodded slightly.

While he was intimidated by the East Desolate Wolf, in this realm, it wasn’t the Dao Chu Ancient Land, and the Xuantian Ancient Country held a decisive position, making the East Desolate Wolf negligible.

Of course, if Nine Heavens True Person knew who the East Desolate Wolf truly was, he wouldn’t dare think that way.

Meanwhile.

The Supreme Pavilion...
