Back then, Ye Xiwen was undoubtedly just an insignificant ant in his eyes. He didn't even have the intention to kill Ye Xiwen. It was like a mortal casually stepping on an ant. He didn't have any intention to kill Ye Xiwen at all.
It was only because of the request of his most beloved junior, Man Yun, that he endorsed Ye Xiwen. Otherwise, Ye Xiwen would have died in the Demon World a long time ago if it wasn't for an old Divine King like him.
Now, thousands of years had passed. To a Divine King, it was just a snap of a finger. Yet, Ye Xiwen had actually reached the point where he was on equal footing with him. He couldn't help but lament the passage of time.
Although there had been many juniors who had become God Kings in the past countless years, only Ye Xiwen had left the deepest impression on him this time.
"I can achieve what I have today because Senior let me go. Now that I think about it, I was really impulsive back then!" Ye Xiwen cupped his hands and said sincerely.
"It's not just impulsive. It's simply reckless!" Asura Ancestor said with a smile. He didn't give Ye Xiwen any face.
Ye Xiwen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Now that he looked back, he really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth back then. It wasn't a big deal to say that he was reckless. At that time, he dared to barge into the Demon World with just his cultivation. The ignorant were truly fearless.
Asura Ancestor looked at Ye Xiwen with incomparably complicated eyes. At that time, it seemed like he was just casually letting an ant go. Now, this ant had grown to the point where it was extremely likely that he could threaten the Demon Race. Now that he thought about it, he didn't know whether his decision back then was correct.
Ye Xiwen paused for a moment before asking, "Senior, may I ask if Man Yun is doing well now?"
"Sigh, I came to see you today because of this!" Asura Ancestor sighed. "Come with me!"
Asura Ancestor said and directly drove the carriage into the void and disappeared.
Ye Xiwen was slightly startled. He didn't think too much and immediately chased after him.
To him, the Demon World was no longer a tiger's den. As long as he was careful, no one could do anything to him.
Everyone felt somewhat inexplicable. Why did Ye Xiwen keep up with them?
"Who is that Man Yun?" Some people didn't know and asked.
"Man Yun? Ah, I remember now. She's the princess of the Ashura tribe who was once famous thousands of years ago. I haven't heard of her for a long time!" An old devil suddenly remembered and said.
Many of the others weren't from the Devil World, so they didn't know much about Man Yun.
These people were the top group of people in the universe, so how could they have so much time to understand the so-called geniuses and monsters?
In a secluded valley, unlike the other Demon Realms, which were filled with Demon Flames and looked like doomsday, the entire valley was full of vitality, like a paradise.
Ye Xiwen stood in front of a grave, his expression somewhat sad, and not far from it was the Asura Devil King.
"In the end, Man Yun was buried here!" The Asura Demon Lord said slowly.
"Isn't the lifespan of the demon race very long? Thousands of years is nothing at all. Why did Man Yun pass away? Or did he die at the hands of someone?" Ye Xiwen's tone was extremely grim when he said the last few words.
"If you have such thoughts, then Man Yun's intention to protect you back then was not in vain!" The Asura Devil King sighed and said, "Man Yun didn't die in the hands of someone else. She died on the trial path of my Asura tribe. Since ancient times, not many people have been able to complete that path!"
Ye Xiwen also remembered that Man Yun had once revealed to him that she wanted to become the first female empress of the Asura tribe, and even the entire Demon World.
Since ancient times, those who could attain the Dao and become Sovereign Emperors were few and far between, let alone the Great Empress. One could imagine the difficulty of this. Man Yun chose to walk the most difficult path. Otherwise, with his talent and the resources of the Asura Clan, it would be a piece of cake for him to prove his Dao.
Back then, how many princesses and geniuses in the Demon World shouted that they wanted to become the seventh Demon King of the Demon World? However, how many people actually put in the effort to carry out this dream? It was probably very rare.
Time smoothed out many people's edges and made many people give up on their original dreams.
Man Yun had always been working hard, and she didn't give up until the moment she fell.
Just by standing in front of her grave, Ye Xiwen seemed to be able to see the scene of her sweating like rain.
"Back then, you were nothing at all, just like an ant. Man Yun, on the other hand, was the most talented princess of my Asura Clan. Even if she didn't become the Empress, she would definitely be conferred the title of Queen. It's just that she chose the most difficult path, which resulted in her death. On the other hand, you, who I didn't even take a fancy to back then, became famous throughout the world. The Asura Ancestor said slowly. He didn't mean to belittle Ye Xiwen. He was simply explaining something.
"This handkerchief was left behind by her back then. It's for you as a souvenir!" said the Asura Ancestor.
With that said, an embroidered handkerchief appeared in front of Ye Xiwen. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, and it had the delicateness of a girl. The fragrance on the handkerchief remained, but the person was gone.
Ye Xiwen gently put the handkerchief away as the sense of loss in his heart intensified.
Man Yun was one of the most special women he had ever seen. She was completely different from Hua Menghan, Ye Qianqian, and Dawn Li. She dared to love and hate, a heroine among women. Furthermore, she never concealed her ambition to become an emperor. If she were a man, she would definitely be one of the invincible elites of the world.
To date, Ye Xiwen had never seen anyone with a similar bearing to her, much less surpass her. It was practically impossible.
However, such a legendary woman had passed away. She had perished, and he didn't even get to see her one last time.
Forefather Asura sighed and said, "That lass, Man Yun, fell on the path of the trial. That's her fate, and I believe she has no regrets. Her only regret is you. I can see that you're the only one she treats differently, so I deliberately brought you here to fulfill her wish." Forefather Asura sighed.
Ye Xiwen thought about it. Perhaps, Man Yun really had no regrets regarding becoming an emperor. After all, she had really tried her best. His fate was as such.
At his stage, he believed in the so-called fate, but at the same time, he didn't believe in the so-called fate. He was extremely conflicted.
Ye Xiwen slit his finger and forced out a drop of blood essence. He conjured his appearance and buried it in the grave.
"I will carry her dying wish and complete the path she didn't complete!" Ye Xiwen said with a sonorous voice.
"If that lass were to know in the underworld, she would probably be gratified!" The Asura Ancestor's eyes were filled with gratification. It made his ugly face look less repulsive.
"If she were to know in the underworld, would she be gratified?" Ye Xiwen murmured. "Senior, do you think reincarnation really exists? Is there really an underworld? Is there really a next life? "
Ye Xiwen asked three questions in a row. For a moment, the people who had passed away appeared in his mind, as well as his parents and relatives on Earth. It had been a long time, and some questions weren't vague anymore. Instead, they were buried in his heart, and he didn't want to touch them. Now that he saw Man Yun's grave, he thought of this question again.
If there was anyone in the world who could answer this question, perhaps only the Asura clan could. Back then, the Asura Demon Lord created reincarnation and established the six paths. Almost everyone thought that he was a god who controlled life and death.
The question of life and death was also a taboo for gods. If one died, one died. No one had ever heard of anyone being able to come back to life after death.
The legendary underworld and reincarnation had similar rumors in the various worlds, but no one could prove the existence of the underworld.
All of them were myths and legends.
In the legend of the Asura Demon Lord, he had also fought with an invincible figure in the underworld. Thus, he felt inspired and created the myth of the six paths of reincarnation.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist was created after that incident. Of course, that was only a legend. Who knew how many tens of thousands of years had passed. The truth of that incident had long been buried in the soil, and no one knew.
Ye Xiwen also wanted to explore life and death, and he also wanted to find the existence of the underworld. After all, it was an age-old problem. Perhaps the Asura clan had some records of it.
"Reincarnation, reincarnation, and the underworld … I don't know about this either. Even the Emperor Lords don't have much contact with it. It is the true reincarnation of heaven and earth!" The Asura Ancestor sighed and said, "Although there are legends about my clan's Demon Lord, no one knows about it. In fact, since ancient times, every Emperor Lord has fought to the death and reversed the yin and yang. It's just that they aren't as famous as my clan's Demon Lord!"
Ye Xiwen was slightly stunned. There was actually such a thing?
"I'm not very clear about the specifics. This kind of thing, even in the inheritance of the Emperor, is the most secretive of secrets. My race's Demon King has only briefly mentioned it. As for the so-called Underworld, even we are not clear about what it is, whether it exists or not!" The Asura Ancestor said slowly, "Perhaps there is no such thing as the so-called underworld. It is just the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao. The Emperor Lords fight themselves and slay the Great Dao. We haven't reached that level, so we don't know what it is. But you can't really want to explore life and death and look for the underworld, right? That's a very dangerous idea. Since ancient times, who knows how many people have the same idea as you? They thought that they could transcend life and death, but in the end, they all lost themselves in it!"
Ye Xiwen smiled and didn't deny it. Even at this level, the underworld was still mysterious. In fact, it wasn't as clear as before. At least back then, he could still believe in myths and legends.
But now, he knew that myths and legends couldn't be trusted.
"It would be great if there was an underworld, reincarnation, and reincarnation. But Senior, you can rest assured that I won't explore the underworld. There's no need for that. If such a day really comes and I become an Emperor, perhaps I'll come looking for it myself!" Ye Xiwen smiled and said, "Senior, I want to stay here for a few days. Is that okay?"
"Up to you. Since I've brought you here, I have nothing else to do. I'll take my leave first!"
The Asura Ancestor drove the carriage and disappeared into the sky, leaving Ye Xiwen alone.
