Chapter 2377 - 2374: Return to Emperor Pass

Immortal Realm Emperor Pass Great Wall.

It seems to exist within the intangible.

It stretches endlessly, having guarded the Ancient Immortal Realm in its time.

No one knows how the Emperor Pass Great Wall came to be.

All that’s known is that it seems eternally indestructible.

Even at the end of the Immortal Ancient war, when the Ancient Immortal Realm collapsed, the Emperor Pass Great Wall persisted in the world.

However, in the current All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, very few know of the Emperor Pass Great Wall.

And even fewer know how to reach it.

Zhou Youwei, as the renowned Hong Yao Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Immortal Realm, naturally possessed a direct way to the Emperor Pass Great Wall.

Upon crossing that ancient Dao, reaching its end, there lay an ancient Chaos Heavenly Abyss.

Above the Chaos Heavenly Abyss stood the majestic, vast Emperor Pass Great Wall!

Before Zhou Youwei and her group arrived, the Emperor Pass Great Wall already had colossal phantoms standing there in wait.

Those...

were the heroic spirits left behind after falling in that battle.

They held onto their obsessions, unwilling to dissipate.

They awaited the return of Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, to resurrect the glory of the Ancient Immortal Realm and crush those Exotic Realm scoundrels!

When Zhou Youwei appeared at the Chaos Heavenly Abyss, the spirits on the Emperor Pass Great Wall all bowed deeply.

"We welcome the return of the Immortal Emperor!"

"We welcome the return of the Immortal Emperor!"

More and more spirits gathered on the Emperor Pass Great Wall, their voices surging in waves.

It was awe-inspiring.

Zhou Youwei watched the scene, her expression calm.

Lu Li and Zhu Xiuxiu felt somewhat melancholic.

Even the likes of the Kunlun Woodcutter and Gai had complex expressions.

In life, some of those spirits were their friends, others their foes.

Yet during that battle, all fought as allies.

Those people died.

Died long ago.

But they were still alive.

Living well.

So today they came.

To complete the heroic act unfinished then!

As Zhou Youwei led the Ancient Immortal Realm’s leaders up to the Emperor Pass Great Wall, the spirits there parted to allow a path.

Without a word of waste, they collectively proceeded beyond the Emperor Pass Great Wall.

There lay an ancient battlefield.

The battlefield left behind from that very battle.

Countless corpses stretched across it.

Even after eons, they remained there.

Like the corpse rain descending from the Chaos Heavenly Abyss.

Those were the bodies of the Ancient Immortal Realm’s fallen.

And beyond the Emperor Pass Great Wall, further behind the ancient battlefield, lay the Dark Demon Sea.

The people of the Dou Tian Divine Domain emerged from the Dark Demon Sea then.

At this moment.

Zhou Youwei and her group stood beyond the Emperor Pass Great Wall, where the colossal body of the Eight-Armed Giant still stood on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, too, were many colossal phantoms.

Some phantoms were still fighting each other.

These were the spirits of the Dou Tian Divine Domain’s fallen.

Some, eroded by time, retained only the will to fight, so they continued battling.

Such spirits wouldn’t last much longer before disappearing.

"Still not here yet..."

The Qingming Cave Master, Qingming Immortal King, spoke softly, his gaze passing through the copper mask.

Further back, Gai scratched his head and asked, "Immortal Emperor, should we make a move?"

Truth be told, he never thought that the wife of Emperor Ye would turn out to be the reincarnated Immortal Emperor.

Previously, Emperor Ye had brought Zhou Youwei to his Supreme Pavilion.

Never did he expect that upon their next meeting, Zhou Youwei’s identity would transform to Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

Back then, he was just a minor Immortal King at the rear of the battlefield; now he could follow the Immortal Emperor to the Emperor Pass Great Wall.

Gai had a secret he never shared with Ye Xuan.

Though he knew of that battle, the truth is, during the battle back then, he was scarcely better than Mountain Que Immortal King.

Mountain Que Immortal King hid and avoided the battle outright.

As for Gai, he dealt with some stragglers coming through the Emperor Pass Great Wall into the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Feeling despair, he chose to seal himself in slumber.

He felt a twinge of guilt.

Now standing behind Zhou Youwei, most had slain many supreme opponents from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Except for him...

Speaking of it, why hadn’t that old guy Mountain come?

Gai felt slightly perplexed.

He thought that guy would also show up, but without him here, Gai felt the most awkward.

After asking this, Gai could sense the vague, peculiar glances from all around.

Fortunately, knowing Emperor Ye for long, he had grown thick-skinned, so it was no big deal.

Upon hearing Gai’s question, Zhou Youwei did not respond immediately but instead carefully observed the direction of the Dark Demon Sea, then shook her head, saying, "Wait."

Saying that, Zhou Youwei’s figure lightly drifted down to the top of the Emperor Pass Great Wall, seated cross-legged, directly facing the Dark Demon Sea.

She then entered a state of cultivation as if no one was present.

Lu Li and Zhu Xiuxiu were long accustomed to the Immortal Emperor’s ways, positioning themselves protectively around Zhou Youwei from left and right.

The others saw this, yet found nothing amiss.

As early as those days, Hong Yao Immortal Emperor favored solitude.

True companions of the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor were only Lu Li and Zhu Xiuxiu.

Subsequent Immortal Kings like Chi King and Qingming Immortal King voluntarily followed the Immortal Emperor’s orders, giving their all in that battle.

The other Immortal Kings did the same.

Many from Ancient Immortal Realm admired the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, including many Immortal Kings.

But they all knew Hong Yao Immortal Emperor followed the Heartless Path.

Innately aloof, disliking conversation.

Thus, upon Zhou Youwei saying ’wait,’ the group dispersed individually.

At this moment.

Two spirits approached behind Zhou Youwei.

An elderly man, alongside a purple-haired youth with double pupils.

"What is it?"

Zhou Youwei slowly opened her eyes, speaking calmly.

The two bowed first, then the elder spoke, "Immortal Emperor, that predecessor visited here before."

That predecessor...

Upon hearing, an image formed in Zhou Youwei’s mind.

That person once, with a single sword, slew many Kings of Dou Tian, second only to her Hongmeng Emperor Saber.

And that person’s River Soldier was now in her husband’s possession.

Yet her memories of this person were somewhat blurred.

She even forgot what that person looked like.

"What did he say?"

Zhou Youwei’s voice was ethereal and melodious.

The elderly spirit faithfully recounted the words Ye Xuan had spoken upon visiting Zhou Youwei, mentioning that the predecessor couldn’t remember past events.

Afterward, the elderly spirit tentatively asked, "Immortal Emperor hasn’t met that predecessor’s reincarnation?"

The old spirit then described Ye Xuan’s attire and appearance to Zhou Youwei.

"Isn’t that Ye Xuan?"

Upon hearing the elderly spirit’s description, Zhu Xiuxiu and Lu Li exclaimed in astonishment.

Zhou Youwei was also slightly surprised.

Her husband, Ye Xuan?

Her husband was that person’s reincarnation?
