Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

He showed an unprecedented wavering expression, his dark eyes filled with an eerie, cold light.

"You should have noticed by now... Old Yun, that's how I should address you now, right?"

Yunping did not reply, but instead touched Jueying's dragon horns, his head slightly lowered.

Jueying said calmly, his tone filled with relief: "The Black Abyss Emperor Ice is no longer with me."

"What……?!"

Gu Xingzhuo and Ye Yuchan exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Black Abyss Emperor Ice... one of the twenty-one ultimates.

It is also the root cause of the existence of the Blackwater Abyss.

Legend has it that the Black Dragon King Jueying has guarded the Black Abyss Emperor Ice for ten thousand years, and its twenty-one ultimate forms have never changed hands. The Black Abyss Emperor Ice is even synonymous with the Black Dragon King. Mentioning Jueying inevitably leads to mentioning the Black Abyss Emperor Ice, as the two can be considered one entity.

"Now that the Black Abyss Emperor Ice is gone, the black water in the Blackwater Abyss... is no longer endless. I'm afraid my injuries will never heal."

"Will not."

Yunping stared intently at Jueying before him and shook his head: "Your soul is not damaged, only your physical body is injured. I can save you."

"And what about the chaos...?"

"..."

Yunping did not reply.

Jueying looked back at Yunping, a rare tenderness appearing in his dragon eyes: "You couldn't possibly not see it, could you? Over the years, even under the binding of the Demon-Binding Lock, the chaos and madness within it could not be completely eradicated, and it even infected me, who guards it every day."

"When the Black Abyss Emperor Ice was still there, suppressing this chaos was already extremely difficult. Now that the Black Abyss Emperor Ice has been taken away, the chaos within me will continue to grow and spread."

"You know what the ending will be, right, Lao Yun..."

Of course he knew.

Yun Ping remained silent for a long time before saying in a cold voice, "Since that's the case, then I will take back the Black Abyss Emperor Ice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was refuted by Jueying.

"This is a trap. Do you want to be locked up for another thirty years?"

“Old Yun…” Ripples spread across the black water. Jue Ying said calmly, “You might be able to handle Ye Xuanqiu alone, and you might not be imprisoned in the airspace again. But what if those two ancestors are with you? With the three of them working together… you might be able to hold your own, but there’s no guarantee you can take back the Emperor Ice.”

Yun Ping took a deep breath, his voice icy colder than ever before: "So this is your reason for wanting me to watch you slowly decay and die?"

“I’m not that easy to die.” Jueying chuckled, his voice becoming calmer. “The black water that has accumulated over such a long period of time is enough for me to live for another thousand or ten thousand years. I have always been determined, and this chaos cannot harm me in a short time.”

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Yunping immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

This roar stunned both Gu Xingzhuo and Ye Yuchan.

They never expected that Yunping would lose his temper so badly at this time.

"Don't think I can't see it. You know better than anyone else that with your current injuries and the speed at which this chaos is spreading, you'll be dead within six months at most... If Hei Yuan Di Bing doesn't return to Hei Shui Yuan within six months, you're doomed!"

Upon hearing this, Jueying was taken aback at first, then let out a bitter laugh: "For an existence like me, what difference does half a year or a thousand years make? They are just a fleeting moment."

It paused, then added.

"Besides, you can't kill her."

Yun Ping squinted and said calmly, "Why?"

"As for the reason... you probably already have some guesses, right?"

Jueying chuckled again, then said in a deliberately casual tone, "You two over there, don't just stand there, come over here..."

"Anyway, I don't have much time left, so today I'll tell you everything I can."

"Including that woman..."

"Let me also tell you in detail that Ye Xuanqiu's true identity is actually the Third Source Ancestor."

4. The number "4" must appear in Chapter 4.

"The Third... Ancestor?"

Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo were stunned on the spot.

Origin.

At the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

Legend has it that the three great heavenly domains were formed by the Kunxuan Origin Ancestor using the ancient dust and debris of this world. He himself was a divine consciousness that existed since the beginning of the world.

The Hongmeng Ancestor used the remaining fragments of his soul to condense twenty-one ultimate forms, which he used to govern these three great heavenly domains.

He even used his own power to create endless ancient spirits as assistants to the Twenty-One Ultimates in governing the world.

The Three Thousand Great Daos also originated from the Kunxuan Origin Ancestor. The essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos is actually just a branch of the Kunxuan Origin Ancestor's power. He created the Heavenly Dao with a single thought, which serves as one of his power sources to oversee these three Heavenly Domains.

The existence of the Ancestor is far beyond the Twenty-One Extremes.

Without the Primordial Ancestor, there would be no Three Great Heavenly Domains!

Now, the Black Dragon King Jueying, lying at the bottom of the Blackwater Abyss on the verge of death, claims that the white-clad woman Ye Xuanqiu is the third Origin Ancestor.

These words, if heard by someone unaware of the truth, would only seem like a ridiculous joke to a person who doesn't know the situation, but if one knows the truth, one would not find it funny at all.

Yun Ping couldn't laugh, Ye Yuchan couldn't laugh, and Gu Xingzhuo couldn't laugh either.

Because they knew that Jueying had no reason to lie to them.

Ye Yuchan lowered her head, recalling Ye Xuanqiu's face, which was exactly the same as her own, and her aura, which was completely different from her own: "So... she is the ultimate master. Because she is on par with Kunxuan Yuanzu, in a sense, she can also be considered the ultimate master."

She unconsciously recalled a dream she had once had.

Yes.

A very, very strange dream.

She remembered that at the beginning of creation, there were three rays of light. One of these rays seemed to be the first to develop consciousness, and it activated all the things in the world that she could not understand at all, creating them with a wave of its hand...

The Three Great Celestial Realms.

If one's dreams are indeed based on something, then there is only one possibility.

The radiance that he dreamed of creating the three great heavens was none other than the Kunxuan Origin Ancestor!

If those three rays of light are all from the Origin Ancestor, then the world's saying that there are only two Origin Ancestors is wrong.

Conversely, Jueying's claim that Ye Xuanqiu is the Third Source Ancestor is highly credible!

"You should be able to sense something yourself, right, Lao Yun..."

"You should know how you felt when you fought that woman."

Faced with Jueying's question, Yunping took a deep breath.

During that time in the airspace, Yunping and Ye Xuanqiu fought a very long battle.

Very few people can survive a few rounds against him; not even a demigod can.

But Ye Xuanqiu can.

Although Yunping did shatter Ye Xuanqiu's soul and erase her physical body in the end, it also proved that simply shattering the soul was not enough to kill the woman who called herself Ye Xuanqiu.

During his battle with Ye Xuanqiu, Yunping inevitably thought of two people.

One is the Primordial Ancestor, the ancestor who was severely injured by himself when he existed in the world as Emperor Wen.

The other one was Kunxuan Yuanzu, who ultimately joined forces with Hongmeng to kill him.

Yun Ping nodded in agreement: "It's just like being in front of those two patriarchs."

"You are the only person in the world who has ever fought against the Origin Ancestor, and only you know what it feels like to be an enemy of the Origin Ancestor. If it is your judgment, then it is absolutely correct."

……

Yunping fell silent.

He slowly closed his eyes, and finally let out a sigh of resignation.

Jueying's enormous head lay quietly on the black water, its golden dragon eyes fixed on Yunping.

After a while.

Yun Ping opened his eyes again, his voice trembling slightly: "Is she really Ye Xuanqiu?"

“I don’t know.” Jueying couldn’t answer Yunping’s question, even though he knew that this question was more important to Yunping than anything else: “I’m not sure if she is. She does look a lot like Ye Xuanqiu, and she is just like Ye Xuanqiu in many ways, but... there are some things that I can’t say for sure.”

"Ye Xuanqiu is dead."

"Would the Origin Ancestor really die so easily?"

Ye Yuchan's gaze fell on Yunping's hands, and she noticed that the old rogue had clenched his fists at some point.

His veins bulged, as if he were about to raise his fist at any moment and destroy everything in his sight.

He was enduring, enduring his unease, enduring his emotions.

Ye Yuchan also clenched her fists.

Looking at this old rogue, Ye Yuchan felt... a slight pain in her chest.

Was it heartache? Or jealousy? She didn't understand, but she felt terrible.

Another period of silence followed.

The black water remained calm as always, without the slightest ripple.

Yun Ping seemed to have given up on asking Ye Xuanqiu any further questions. He knew it would make him uncomfortable, so he immediately changed the subject: "Why did she take away the Black Abyss Emperor Ice? If she really is the Source Ancestor, why would she want this ultimate achievement that is meaningless to her?"

Yes, that's a big problem.

It's worth noting that Ye Xuanqiu had previously styled herself as the "Ultimate Hunter."

She not only targeted the Twenty-One Extremes, but also harbored murderous intentions towards the Seven Dream Tree, leaving it with the strange words, "You are superfluous."

She is the Origin Ancestor, the Third Origin Ancestor, the most powerful being in the heavens, and an Origin Ancestor who existed since the beginning of creation.

Even the twenty-first ultimate level is merely a product of the Kunxuan Origin Ancestor, and in Ye Xuanqiu's eyes, it shouldn't amount to much.
