"The Immortal Crossing Sect’s Snow Storage?"

Ye Xuan slightly turned his gaze and spoke slowly.

Qiao Xinyu cupped her hands and said, "To answer Young Master, this person is precisely the Immortal Crossing Sect’s Snow Storage, Tang Kui. He was sealed ninety thousand years ago, and now that the Emperor Road has appeared, the old ancestor in the Immortal Crossing Sect unsealed him, let him be born into this era, and then wants Xinyu to ascend the Emperor Road together with him."

When she said this, Qiao Xinyu was quite helpless as well.

Don’t look at how she has all kinds of identities; the trouble those identities bring is also plentiful.

As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Crossing Sect, she still cannot defy the orders of the sect’s old ancestor.

Moreover, that old ancestor hadn’t spoken in the tone of an order, but rather chatted with Qiao Xinyu about some ordinary matters from when she first joined the Immortal Crossing Sect back then.

This sort of approach is the most moving.

In the end, Qiao Xinyu had no choice but to pinch her nose and agree.

However, Qiao Xinyu also had a clear demand: she asked the old ancestor to give that newly emerged Snow Storage a warning, not to play any tricks in front of Emperor Ye—if he died then, don’t say she didn’t intervene.

All the way here, Qiao Xinyu had been annoyed to death by this so‑called little Martial Uncle.

Qiao Xinyu finally managed to shake this fellow off to pay respects to Emperor Ye, yet this guy stuck to her again like a piece of dogskin plaster.

"Tang Kui?"

Hearing this name, a glint of strange light flashed across Li Feixuan’s beautiful eyes. She leaned close to Ye Xuan and said in a low voice, "Young Master, the Snow Storage prodigy I mentioned before, he is one of them. His physique is the Tribulation Thunder Overlord Body at Great Success, and it’s said he once even came into contact with the Secret of Immortal Body. A peerless prodigy from ninety thousand years ago, he later chose to seal himself when the Double Emperors ascended to the absolute summit, thus missing that End of Dharma Era."

At this moment, Tang Kui had already flown over, intending to approach.

The East Desolate Wolf was the first to step out, baring his teeth as he looked at Tang Kui, and said in a deep voice, "Stop."

Tang Kui smiled faintly and said very politely, "Fellow Daoist, don’t misunderstand. I’m one of our own. I’m looking for little Xinyu—she is my Martial Niece."

Qiao Xinyu’s willow brows knit slightly. Her gaze pierced through the curtain toward Tang Kui as she said softly, "Tang Kui, don’t forget what the old ancestor told you."

Tang Kui smiled lightly and said, "Little Xinyu, no need to remind me. Although this Martial Uncle has slept for ninety thousand years, I haven’t slept myself stupid."

As he spoke, Tang Kui’s gaze fell on Ye Xuan. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Presumably, this is Young Master Ye Xuan, Ye Gongzi?"

"I’ve long admired you, long admired you."

Tang Kui cupped his hands slightly and said, "I only just revived, and I already heard of your reputation as the strongest Reserve Emperor of the Xuanhuang."

It sounded like he was expressing respect toward Ye Xuan, but in truth he was mocking him in the dark.

Qiao Xinyu naturally heard the meaning in his words. A wisp of killing intent flashed in her eyes as she said coldly, "Tang Kui, if you don’t want to die, then leave immediately."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm. He signaled for Qiao Xinyu not to make a move, swept a glance over Tang Kui, and smiled faintly. "If there’s nothing important, then kindly roll farther away. An ant like you really fails to arouse my interest."

Hearing this, Tang Kui was not angry in the slightest. Instead, he burst out laughing. Looking at Ye Xuan, a trace of mania flickered in his eyes. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I truly do admire Young Master Ye Xuan greatly. I only hope that on the Emperor Road, Young Master Ye will not begrudge teaching me a thing or two. I wish to be Young Master Ye’s first opponent."

"Just you? You’re not qualified to make my cousin lift a hand."

At the side, Jiang Ya looked at Tang Kui indifferently. "Don’t think being a Snow Storage makes you impressive. I’ve killed plenty of Reincarnators."

Tang Kui ignored Jiang Ya and instead looked at Ye Xuan with squinting eyes and a smile. "Young Master Ye does enjoy quite the blessing of beauty. I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll take my leave first."

"Little Xinyu, I know your strength isn’t bad. When the time comes on the Emperor Road, you and I can have a battle as well."

Before leaving, Tang Kui spoke to Qiao Xinyu again.

After he finished speaking, Tang Kui left directly without making trouble.

"Please forgive me, Young Master. Xinyu will immediately go and take care of that man."

Qiao Xinyu cupped her hands toward Ye Xuan.

Although the old ancestor had given an order, this Tang Kui had spoken out of turn first. When the time came, she definitely wouldn’t show mercy if she killed him.

Ye Xuan merely waved his hand. "No need to bother with him."

"Young Master..."

A hint of panic flashed in Qiao Xinyu’s eyes.

Ye Xuan said with a smile, "Don’t worry. I won’t take an ant like that to heart."

Only then did Qiao Xinyu feel much more at ease.

"Young Master Ye, when do you plan to ascend the Emperor Road?"

Wang Xi, who was beside them, asked softly.

At this moment, although Heavenly State had gathered many powerhouses, none of them seemed in a hurry to ascend the Emperor Road.

They all seemed to be waiting for something.

Time flowed by slowly, and more and more strong figures arrived at Heavenly State.

One after another, obscure Snow Storages and Reincarnators began to emerge.

They came from various ancient inheritances, Longevity Families, Great Emperor Immortal Sects, and so on.

By contrast, the previously unrivaled thirty‑six names on the Mystic Yellow List seemed not so eye‑catching at this moment.

Of course, the existence of the top five was still mentioned from time to time.

Especially Ye Xuan, who was ranked first.

"News has come back."

At this time, Wang Xi spoke softly. "From the Five Elements Great World, one of the Ten Realms—an old‑generation powerhouse at Great Saint Realm stepped onto the Emperor Road and was obliterated in an instant."

Her voice was not loud, but when it landed in everyone’s ears, it was like a heavy hammer striking!

At the same time, many other ancient forces also received this news!

Many elder powerhouses present all revealed looks of disappointment.

In fact, before coming, they had already made such a prediction.

They had been waiting—waiting for someone to ascend the Emperor Road.

It was precisely to wait for this piece of news.

If Great Saint Realm and Quasi-Emperor Realm were unaffected, then they would also begin to ascend the Emperor Road.

But now, the news coming back from the Five Elements Great World confirmed it: Heavenly Dao Suppression still existed.

This also changed the Emperor Road. It seemed that only Great Sage Realm could ascend the Emperor Road.

Anyone beyond Great Sage Realm would be suppressed to death by the Emperor Road!

"As expected..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Getting this conclusion, Ye Xuan was not surprised; he had long anticipated it.

After all, the timing of the Emperor Road’s appearance was improper to begin with.

Logically speaking, it should only appear after Heavenly Dao Suppression had completely ended.

The current situation was what truly fit the timing for the Emperor Road’s appearance.

"Counting it this way, my luck is really quite good."

Ye Xuan spoke to himself in his heart.

Although for him, whether there was suppression or not made no difference.

But with this suppression, his advantage would become boundless.

On the Emperor Road, there would be no one who could stop him.

"Once you ascend the Emperor Road, I’ll have to sleep for a while."

Bai Ze’s gentle voice echoed in Ye Xuan’s heart.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised.

The Emperor Road is the most peculiar existence among the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds; some beings that exist outside the rules will be suppressed by the Emperor Road.

Bai Ze seemed to be no exception.

This somewhat surprised Ye Xuan.

After all, Bai Ze’s origins could be traced back to that Immortal Ancient epoch of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

"It has nothing to do with the Emperor Road. I’ve reached my opportunity."

Bai Ze said softly.

Ye Xuan’s heart stirred slightly. "Then after the Emperor Road ends, you should be able to recall quite a few things."

Bai Ze gave a soft "mm." In Ye Xuan’s perception, her aura gradually faded away until it disappeared.

Along with it, the pattern on the back of Ye Xuan’s hand also vanished without a trace.
