After the war, the Emperor Immortal Sect held a banquet to entertain the many allies who had rushed over to help. The feast was bustling with noise and excitement.

As the main character of the whole affair, Ye Xuan naturally attended as well.

But it wasn’t Ye Xuan’s true body that went, it was that Myriad Forms Body which possessed the Void Immortal Body.

As for Ye Xuan’s true body, he had gone off on a private date with Zhou Youwei.

The young couple hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so of course they had some whispers to share.

As for the aftermath of that great move, and how the various powers of the Xuanhuang Great World would react, the two of them didn’t care, nor did they bother to pay attention.

The couple wandered from Zhongxuan Mountain all the way to the East Desolation South Domain, traveling through mountains and rivers, watching the clouds rise and fall.

They walked to the edge of a cliff.

By now the setting sun was sliding westward, the dusk at its most beautiful.

The two of them sat on the cliff edge, legs dangling.

Ye Xuan propped himself up with one hand, and with the other arm wrapped around Zhou Youwei’s slender waist, savoring the exquisite feel beneath his fingertips. Smiling, he watched the distant setting sun sink beneath the horizon.

The most beautiful things in this world were probably just like this.

"So beautiful."

Zhou Youwei leaned sideways in Ye Xuan’s arms, watching that scene together with her husband.

"You must have quite a lot you want to say to me, don’t you?"

Ye Xuan spoke lazily.

Zhou Youwei slowly sat up straight, turned her head, and her pair of ice-blue eyes rested on Ye Xuan’s handsome, sharply contoured face as she said softly, "Does husband know what Youwei wants to ask?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I can more or less guess. Actually, back at World Mountain’s Mountain God Dao, I thought you would ask. I didn’t expect you not to."

Hearing this, Zhou Youwei said softly, "You can choose not to say it. After all, although I am Hong Yao, I am even more Zhou Youwei. I will definitely never force you to speak."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help rolling his eyes at his own wife, then said with a smile, "Now that you’ve put it like that, all the more I should tell you."

"You want to ask about that power of the Dou Tian Divine Domain, right?"

Zhou Youwei gently nodded that delicate head. That was indeed what she wanted to ask.

Back at World Mountain’s Mountain God Dao, that Mountain God of World Mountain had been entangled by that Origin Power and had already Fallen.

No one was more familiar with that Origin Power than Zhou Youwei.

Back in that war back then, the biggest reason the Dou Tian Divine Domain could keep the upper hand was actually that Origin Power.

In the entire Ancient Immortal Realm, the number of people who could break that Origin Power was extremely few.

So this power had caused enormous trouble for the Ancient Immortal Realm in those years.

But when Ye Xuan faced that Origin Power, he had easily suppressed it.

This had truly surprised Zhou Youwei, but at the same time also made her think of the things Ye Xuan had told her before.

In this world, there was basically no one who truly understood Ye Xuan.

That time, Zhou Youwei did not ask.

But on the Ancient Battlefield of ages, she had seen Ye Xuan’s Myriad Forms Body actually use that kind of power, which shocked her greatly.

That power could only be wielded by people of the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

Why could Ye Xuan wield it as well?

And it was even Ye Xuan’s Avatar.

Then did that also mean Ye Xuan’s true body could wield that kind of power?

This was the greatest doubt buried deep in Zhou Youwei’s heart.

"That power is called Origin Power by the people of the Dou Tian Divine Domain. Its source seems to come from the King of Dou Tian."

Ye Xuan had already prepared his wording, and now he explained it carefully to Zhou Youwei: "But the power I wield is actually not Origin Power, but another type of power."

At this point Ye Xuan paused, and his Taoist Body unfolded.

In an instant, Zhou Youwei discovered that her two great Sacred Bodies were directly invalidated, and even the Mana within her seemed to vanish into thin air.

At the same time she felt an irresistible Suppressing Power, as if it was going to crush her to death.

This immediately left Zhou Youwei indescribably shocked.

Ye Xuan withdrew the power of his Taoist Body, and with a slight smile said, "You felt it, didn’t you."

Zhou Youwei showed a slightly strange expression. "These two powers are very similar, but your power is even more overbearing."

"So... husband can absorb that Origin Power?"

Zhou Youwei stared fixedly at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan laughed and said, "As expected of my woman."

Zhou Youwei wrinkled her jade-like nose a little. "Can’t you be serious."

"But..."

Zhou Youwei paused, then said softly, "The power your Avatar wields seems to lean more toward that Origin Power, doesn’t it?"

Ye Xuan nodded. "That’s right."

Zhou Youwei thought of a certain possibility.

But before she could speak, Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "Other people can’t wield this power."

Although she had long known this answer, Zhou Youwei still felt a trace of disappointment.

As early as back in that war, when she was Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, she had tried to dissect this Origin Power, but she failed.

So she wasn’t surprised by this answer.

"Youwei, when you and Hong Yao truly merge into one, I hope you can see all of this."

Ye Xuan looked seriously at Zhou Youwei and said softly, "Maybe in that war in the future, you and I will stand side by side upon that Emperor Pass Great Wall."

Hearing these words, Zhou Youwei’s heart rippled faintly.

Looking at her own husband, Zhou Youwei gave a helpless smile. "Ever since Hong Yao’s memories kept awakening, most of the time it’s actually Hong Yao who takes the lead. And because of my relationship with you in this life, I don’t want you involved in that war."

"But another voice keeps telling me that the relationship between us isn’t as free of cracks as it looks, is it?"

Zhou Youwei watched Ye Xuan, her ice-blue eyes remaining calm.

"Actually, when I heard that voice, I always had one biggest question."

"Back then when your Emperor Soul awakened, you were that Undying Night Emperor drifting through endless ages. Why did you treat me as your wife?"

"Was it only because in this life we married, and I was the only one in the Emperor Immortal Sect who was good to you?"

"I think..."

"That reason is simply not enough to support you treating me that way."

"Could you perhaps give Youwei an answer?"

As Zhou Youwei spoke up to this point, her expression became slightly complicated.

Hearing these words, Ye Xuan loosened his hold on Zhou Youwei, lay back, and looked up at the dim sky, murmuring softly, "I cherish everything I possess, and that includes you. Is that reason enough?"

Zhou Youwei still couldn’t really understand, because after her memories awakened, her rational mind told her to stay away from Ye Xuan, to sever the bond between them.

Ye Xuan turned his head to look at the beauty beside him, his eyes gentle as he said softly, "Those who know my identity might all think that the identity I have now is just one of my worldly incarnations, or think it’s one of my Avatars. Actually..."

"They’re all wrong."

"First I am Ye Xuan, only then am I the Undying Night Emperor."

"In the era of the Undying Night Emperor, too much was lost. So when I returned to being Ye Xuan, I wanted nothing more than to clench everything I held in my hands so tight that no one could even dream of taking it away!"

By the end, Ye Xuan’s gaze had gradually turned sharp.

But then Ye Xuan gave a self-mocking smile and said, "Of course, your experience is different from mine. The two of us are opposites. So even if, when the time comes, you and Hong Yao completely merge and you’re unwilling to stand with me."

"I still..."

"Can accept it!"
