Chapter 1040: Chapter 1059: Uncle!
“Hmm?”
Chi You’s face showed a trace of surprise. He originally thought Ye Xuan’s appearance seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite recall.
Evidently, three million years is a long time, long enough to completely forget someone. Moreover, Chi You had only met Ye Xuan a few times in the past, so it was quite normal for him not to remember Ye Xuan’s appearance clearly.
“Three million years? You are…?”
Chi You stared blankly at Ye Xuan, constantly trying to recall Ye Xuan’s face in his mind, his brows furrowed tightly.
“Three million years? Three million years?”
Chi You mumbled to himself, as the memories buried deep in his mind surged forth.
Boom!
Like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder striking, like the stars in the vast heavens shattering, Chi You seemed to be struck by lightning, his entire body frozen on the spot. He suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, but the next moment his face turned ghostly pale.
“You… you are… you are?”
Thud thud thud!
Chi You’s steps kept retreating, his body trembling to the extreme. His eyes were fixed on Ye Xuan, his scalp seemed to explode, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.
“It seems you remember now.” Ye Xuan said softly.
“No… no… no!”
Chi You screamed in utter terror, the witch light around him extremely chaotic. His gaze at Ye Xuan was trembling violently, and he seemed completely mad.
“Impossible… absolutely impossible… He died… he died three million years ago…”
Bang!
Chi You collapsed to the ground, screaming in trembling terror, as if plunged into extreme fear.
“Whoever he is, we must all kill him and retrieve the Hongmeng Purple Qi first.” The Lord of the Immortal Court shouted sternly.
“You all like the Hongmeng Purple Qi so much?”
Ye Xuan spoke indifferently, flipping his hand to reveal another Hongmeng Purple Qi in his palm. As the two strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi floated in Ye Xuan’s palm, the entire heaven and earth fell into silence.
“How is that possible?”
The Demon Race Emperor shrieked in shock, and everyone’s faces were extremely astonished, as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“Kill him.”
The Lord of the Immortal Court suddenly came to his senses, erupting with Immortal Light towards Ye Xuan, while the others instantly awakened, crazily attacking Ye Xuan with greed in their eyes.
“Don’t go, come back quickly, you can’t kill him.”
Suddenly, Chi You shouted in a trembling voice, showing immense despair in his eyes.
Unfortunately, these people were blinded by greed and couldn’t heed Chi You’s warning, as several had already attacked Ye Xuan together.
“Stop.”
As soon as the word left Ye Xuan’s mouth, the world fell silent, and these individuals were strangely frozen in the void.
The wind was calm, and the clouds were serene. Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his snow-white hair drifting in the wind. His eyes were like the vast universe, deep and expansive, making one feel as though they were about to sink within.
Flee!
Chi You could no longer care about those idiots of the Immortal Court, he flew straight up, transforming into an escape light, trying to flee from Buzhou Mountain.
No one knew how terrified Chi You was at that moment, as none of them had experienced the great catastrophe of heaven and earth three million years ago.
“Since you’re an old acquaintance, why flee upon seeing me?”
Ye Xuan let out a long sigh, and without any apparent movement, Chi You appeared beside him inexplicably, unable to escape this heaven and earth.
“Why? Why?”
“Why are you still alive?”
Chi You’s entire body trembled, eyes full of despair, shouting at Ye Xuan in a trembling voice.
“Heaven and earth perish, yet I remain. All things decay, yet I endure. Standing above all heavens, overseeing the heaven and earth, this is my Law and Dao.” Ye Xuan spoke softly.
“Who… who on earth are you?”
The Lord of the Immortal Court shouted in fear, completely shaken by Ye Xuan’s cultivation, with utter terror growing in his heart.
“Who is he?”
“You don’t know who he is?”
Chi You sighed mournfully, “He is the Undying Venerable who suppressed the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. He is Ye Xuan who battled Hong Jun, the Dao Ancestor, three million years ago. He is none other than the Heavenly Emperor Ye of old. Do you know who he is now?”
Boom!
As Chi You’s words fell, the Lord of the Immortal Court and others were utterly stunned on the spot. A silent terror blanketed the entire heaven and earth, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
“A forbidden existence… he is the forbidden existence from three million years ago?” The Wushuang Ghost Emperor shrieked, trembling as he looked at Ye Xuan in utter shock, unable to believe the truth.
“A thousand tribulations, endless challenges, an unbreakable past, unforgettable memories. You shouldn’t have come to Buzhou Mountain to disturb their slumber. Since you’re here, stay.” Ye Xuan whispered softly.
Rumble!
A giant hand covering the sky coalesced in the heavens, its power of suppressing heaven and earth blossoming grandly, as if about to annihilate the Lord of the Immortal Court and the others in the next moment.
“Uncle, don’t kill me!”
Suddenly, a mournful cry came from the Lord of the Immortal Court, causing Ye Xuan to pause, and the giant hand dissipated.
“What did you call me?” Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
“Uncle… my mother is Ye Yaoyue…” The Lord of the Immortal Court quickly spoke.
“Yaoyue?”
Ye Xuan paused, “You’re Yaoyue’s child?”
“Uncle, I’m Shuang’er, you once held me and my elder brother.” The Demon Race Emperor spoke sorrowfully.
“You’re Yaoyue’s children?”
Ye Xuan stood stunned, carefully observing the appearances of the Lord of the Immortal Court and the Demon Race Emperor, indeed finding traces of Ye Yaoyue and Li Youyun.
“Uncle, you remember?” The Lord of the Immortal Court cried out in joy.
“Didn’t expect you all to grow so much!”
Ye Xuan sighed nostalgically, recalling when Ye Yaoyue’s twin children called him uncle. Three million years had passed, and the children of old had grown up to become the pinnacle of Quasi-Saint existence.
The passage of time is like a song, an eternal dream. Ye Xuan sighed deeply, realizing that time truly changes many things.
“Where’s your mother?”
Ye Xuan released their restraints with a casual gesture, and the Lord of the Immortal Court and the Demon Race Emperor hurriedly knelt before Ye Xuan with reverence on their faces.
“Uncle, Mother died years ago from losing control while attempting to break into the Quasi-Saint Realm. She has been gone for many years.” The Lord of the Immortal Court spoke sadly.
“I failed her.”
Recalling old times, Ye Xuan remembered manipulating Li Youyun for cultivating the space-time seed to step into the Heavenly Dao Six Tribulations, resulting in the separation of her family of three, now feeling regret in his heart.
“Uncle, my brother and I thought you had long passed, not expecting that you were still alive. You are our last kin.” The Demon Race Emperor spoke sorrowfully.
“Alright, alright.”
As one ages, nostalgia often sets in. Even Ye Xuan felt a wave of sentimentality as he gazed warmly at Ye Yaoyue’s children, showing satisfaction in his eyes.
