"We’re finished!"

The lady in red’s face was ghostly pale, prepared to face the arrival of death, and even the disciples behind her were trembling, all displaying expressions of despair.

Thud—thud—thud!

Suddenly!

A heavy footprint sound emerged from the deepest part of the Burial Soil, and with its resonance, the infinite resentment across the Burial Soil froze, even the advancing Bai Gu skeletons stopped in their tracks, quivering extremely at this moment.

"Master, what... what is that?"

A maiden looked with horror towards the deepest part of the Burial Soil, which hastened the lady in red to look as well, seeing a dark figure emerge from the Burial Soil’s depths.

Thud—thud—thud!

Like the ancient blue sky collapsing, as though the vast universe descended, this dark silhouette drew nearer, gradually stepping out from the depth of Burial Soil, bringing with it terrifying events.

Clatter!

Wherever this person walked, skeletons scattered onto the ground, even the boundless resentment began to quell, leaving only that figure as the most resplendent solitary existence.

Rumble!

Burial Soil underwent turbulence, resentment dissipated, skeletons returned to the cracked earth, while the figure’s visage gradually emerged in the eyes of the lady in red.

Clad in black, with white hair flowing, three thousand white strands fluttered in the windless air, a cold and stern visage that mere glancing upon filled one with dread.

Such a scene made the lady in red shudder intensely, her mind unable to control a rising sense of worship.

Poom!

The lady in red kneeled involuntarily, even the primordial beings within the Burial Soil dropped to their knees, trembling fiercely.

Simply because the male who walked from the Burial Soil, his mere presence made them feel as insignificant as ants, with no courage to gaze toward him.

Ye Xuan!

The dark figure who emerged from the deepest Burial Soil was none other than the time-traveled Ye Xuan.

He was stepping towards the outside world, his expression cold as an eternal river, eyes holding a depth of resentment.

"Damn, didn’t expect to be trapped for so many years!"

Ye Xuan naturally noticed these primordial beings, but they were too weak to garner his attention.

Reversing eternity, back to the primordial!

Unfortunately, the Desolate Ancient Era was severed, making it impossible for Ye Xuan to return there. Having seen ’Huang’ enter a door, he wished to push open that door but was instead rendered unconscious due to backlashes.

Upon waking, he found himself in this stretch of Burial Soil.

Yet, the worst was that he was trapped in the deepest Burial Soil by the remnants of primordial strength, unable to break free until now.

But fortunately, this Burial Soil was an area of Ancient Times, though Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Qi was absent, Three Thousand Great Dao invisible, yet the Blood Soul Essence from fallen primordial beings was present, a blessing in disguise.

By relying on the Tribulation Immortal Skill, Ye Xuan continually devoured the residual strength left by these ancient beings and broke through to the Heavenly Defying Second Transformation.

Indeed, the disparity between each transformation in Heavenly Defying Realm was truly terrifying; upon reaching the second transformation, Ye Xuan’s cultivation multiplied, leading him to break out of confinement and walk from Burial Soil’s depths.

Thud—thud—thud!

Ye Xuan’s expression was cold but internally ecstatic, his eyes filled with excitement as he was about to leave this Burial Soil and genuinely enter the Ancient World.

"Thank you for saving our lives, senior."

As Ye Xuan drew closer, the lady in red’s Divine Soul shuddered, bowing uncontrollably toward Ye Xuan, while the disciples behind her pressed their foreheads to the ground, not daring to glance at him.

"Primordial beings?"

Ye Xuan gazed at those kneeling, his eyes slightly flickering with curiosity.

He immediately discerned these primordial beings had low cultivation but practiced the orthodox way of the Twelve Heavenly Gates, proof enough he was indeed back in the Ancient Times.

"Who are you?"

Ye Xuan halted his steps, eyes coldly upon the lady in red, the strongest among them naturally the leader.

"Junior Qing Hongyan, a Law Enforcement Elder of the Chaotian Sect. May I know the senior’s esteemed name?" The lady in red trembled while answering, not daring to raise her head toward Ye Xuan.

Qing Hongyan guessed with fright, suspecting the other party was someone who survived Ancient Times, an eminent being of utmost supremacy, naturally inducing fear.

"Chaotian Sect?"

Ye Xuan murmured softly, unfamiliar with Chaotian Sect, but assuming it to be a sect, just right as he needed a foothold to understand Ancient Times.

"Lead me to your sect."

With a flick of his sleeve, the vast power swept Qing Hongyan and others away, and he stepped out, leaving Burial Soil.

...

Chaotian Sect!

"May our ancestor endure with Heaven, remain eternal."

Mountains roared and seas surged, tens of thousands of Chaotian Sect disciples kneeled, led by the Sect Master and elders, all prostrating at Ye Xuan’s feet.

Ancestor!

Upon arrival at Chaotian Sect, Ye Xuan seamlessly became these people’s ancestor, formally joining Chaotian Sect.

According to the Chaotian Sect Master, their sect had existed since the Desolate Ancient Era, their ancestor being Ye Xuan, whom they sought across generations, venturing into Burial Soil.

Heaven rewards diligent seekers; they finally found the ancestor, now Ye Xuan returned to Chaotian Sect, rightfully called ancestor.

Of course, such grand claims were merely fabrications, giving Ye Xuan a fitting identity.

One resembling a supreme existence of Twelve Heavenly Gates combined, joining Chaotian Sect, calling him ancestor was an understatement, even recognizing him as a parent wouldn’t be excessive.

Among Chaotian Sect, the highest cultivation was the Sect Master, who merely opened the sixth Heavenly Gate.

Ye Xuan’s joining instantly elevated Chaotian Sect’s status among first-rate sects, though unable to match Great Sect or the Divine Dynasty of the era, having a supreme Twelve Heavenly Gates presence meant being an overlord-level existence.

At this moment.

Led by the Sect Master, Chaotian Sect solemnly bowed to Ye Xuan, who lazily accepted their kneeling, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Ye Xuan greatly admired the Sect Master’s audacity; upon meeting him, knelt immediately, claiming Ye Xuan was Chaotian Sect’s ancestor.

Initially surprised, Ye Xuan soon understood, naturally assuming the role of ancestor.

Yet, Ye Xuan felt peculiar since, according to his era, these ancient beings before him could be considered his ancestors.
