The Immortals destined to meet calamity, or the multitude of mighty beings reincarnated for additional cultivation, their memories are usually awakened only upon becoming an Immortal or under specific circumstances.
Awakening too early may not be very beneficial to his current level of cultivation.
That is why Ye Ling would say such words, Donghuang Taiyi, after all, is a colossus in the Immortal Realm, his path of cultivation is unique and should not be meddled with lightly.
"Ah, Ye Ling, what do you mean by that? But I also feel, you know, that it seems we knew each other a long time ago."
"Heh, now that you mention it, I do feel quite a sense of familiarity, as if it has evoked some memories."
With a slight smile, Ye Ling said, "It’s time for me to go. I will leave something for you. If you can remember something, that means you have reached this stage. If you can’t remember, don’t force it."
With those words, Ye Ling flicked his finger, and a terrifying fireball slowly appeared before Donghuang Taiyi, its flames vigorous and swirling.
Streams of fire, akin to solar storms, pulsed within the sphere, radiating fearsome power. Discover exclusive content at freewebnovel
This was the Primordial Sun Flame that Donghuang Taiyi possessed after his enlightenment, which Ye Ling had witnessed before and thus was able to replicate it for him to comprehend.
Seeing something familiar naturally could allow Donghuang Taiyi to remember something; perhaps at a certain moment, he might have a breakthrough.
"Why does this look so familiar, as if it were mine to begin with?"
The Heavenly Emperor furrowed his brow and said, then he shook his head, "We’ll talk about it later. As for you, you’re quite something, aren’t you? You slapped Xuantian Palace in the face and still made them hold their breath temporarily, not dealing with you. Not bad, not bad."
Ye Ling was taken aback, had Xuantian Palace given up on retaliating this time?
"What are you thinking? I’m not on the best terms with Xuantian Palace myself, so naturally, I know a bit more. The reason they don’t have the time to deal with you now is that their Palace Master is at a critical point of breakthrough. Compared to your matter, his breakthrough is the most important."
"Now, the entire Xuantian Palace has been completely sealed off, and all the disciples and high-ranking Elders are staying inside to protect the Palace Master."
"So you see, lad, you’ve temporarily dodged a bullet, but still, keep an eye out."
Ye Ling was stunned, this was indeed good news, then he nodded, "If that’s the case, then I’m relieved."

"Heavenly Emperor, ponder over this fireball well. If you manage to awaken something, then help me look after the three major families, lest anything unexpected happens."
The Heavenly Emperor nodded, "Don’t worry, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all. Besides, I’ve tested your strength, not bad, you indeed qualify to be a friend of the Heavenly Emperor."
"Buzz off, if you keep pretending, I’ll let Xiao Bai beat you until you’re crippled. Why all the nonsense?"
Ye Ling couldn’t help but shake his head, this guy... It seemed that after his awakening, his previous imposing sternness would be gone, and he might be another cheap character.
The two talked more about cultivation, with the Heavenly Emperor feeling like Ye Ling was an abyss, one could never know how deep it was or when he would astound the world with his prowess.
The next morning, Ye Ling left the Martial World with Xiao Bai. The three major families insisted on giving Ye Ling several Spiritual Artifacts, including quite a few Top-Grade ones. These were all forcefully acquired from raiding the Nine Great Sects and the lairs of Mo Yun Sect.
Originally, Ye Ling had refused, but the Clan Leaders of the three families forcibly stuffed them in his hands and even emphasized that it was what Ye Ling deserved.
Given the situation, Ye Ling didn’t hesitate to take a tremendous fortune back with him into the secular world, while the Heavenly Emperor stayed at the Shen Family to contemplate the fireball Ye Ling had left behind.
Shen Tianhao was naturally very pleased with the Heavenly Emperor’s stay. After all, he was a strong existence at the Divine Infant Middle Stage. With him around, who knew how many evil spirits and demons could be deterred.
In Donghai City, within Ye Ling’s estate, Shen Yuexin had not been to the company for two days, staying at home waiting anxiously, a worried frown constantly on her face.
She’d heard about the strength of Xuanling Sect, and Xuantian Palace seemed like a myth. Though Ye Ling was very powerful, those were the Martial World’s overlords for many years.
It was a grave sign that Ye Ling had Shenfeng Ye Wudao and Ao Hongchen take her away.
If it were before, Ye Ling would never have let her leave, no matter what. It was only now, with great danger looming, that he insisted she leave.
Ao Hongchen walked in, shook his head at the sight of Shen Yuexin’s anxious face, "Yue Xin, don’t be like this. Ye Ling will definitely be fine."
"Xiao Bai is still with him. Besides, if there were any real danger, Xiao Hei would definitely have been called over by him. Don’t worry, he’s not the one to suffer losses."
Ao Hongchen hurried to comfort her, as the other women in the house were unaware of Ye Ling’s current predicament, which could almost be described as being besieged on all sides.
Shen Yuexin shook her head, "Hongchen, we can’t wait any longer. Take Xiao Hei with you and go support Ye Ling in the Martial World immediately, and be quick!"
Having made up her mind, Shen Yuexin stood up. Things in the secular world could be taken care of easily, and she believed those people wouldn’t dare to go too far here.
Ye Wudao, Mo Xing, and Shenfeng were all currently in the estate, and none of the women there were ordinary; therefore, safety should not be a concern.
Xiao Hei, a fearsome True Dragon, with its arrival, should significantly increase Ye Ling’s odds of success, which is why Shen Yuexin demanded that Ao Hongchen leave immediately with Xiao Hei to provide support.
Ao Hongchen was startled, about to speak, but seeing Shen Yuexin’s determined gaze, he could only nod, "Okay, I’ll take it there now."
"But you must all be very careful. If there are any issues, send someone to the Martial World immediately. After I deliver Xiao Hei, I’ll rush back here."
"After all, your cultivation is not yet able to transmit messages. You must be cautious within this day."
Ao Hongchen repeatedly instructed them, knowing full well that if anything went wrong in the backyard, Ye Ling’s wrath upon returning would probably be directed at him.
Just then, a series of booming noises like spring thunder suddenly erupted outside, and Ao Hongchen’s face changed drastically—it was the sound of fighting.
Whoosh, Ao Hongchen drew the three-foot green blade from his back and charged outside, full of killing intent. This bunch of scoundrels, had they really brought the fight to the secular world?
At the swimming pool, four Golden Core Elders, covered in blood, widened their eyes in terror at the sight of the formidable black dragon in front of them, too scared to move a muscle.
Xiao Hei displayed its body, its ten-odd-zhang-long figure inflicting serious injuries on the four Golden Core Elders with a whip of its tail, their bodies radiating golden light.
The four Golden Core Elders were none other than the remnants who had fled when the Mo Yun Sect was annihilated. They had found out Ye Ling’s address and wanted to launch a surprise attack before Ye Ling returned.
But what they had absolutely not expected was to come face-to-face with an actual dragon!
