“Yes…”

Xiao Yan was full of apprehension. This being actually knew his name. Could he be here for him?

Jiang Xuan heard this and his eyes widened. It was as if endless rules were crushing down between heaven and earth. At that moment, Xiao Yan was like a lone boat in a stormy sea, liable to capsize at any moment.

"Bold Xiao Yan, daring to violate the order of the netherworld, not entering the cycle of reincarnation, not judged on your past and present lives, entering this realm privately, seizing the body of another, hiding for more than a decade, what should be your punishment?!"

Rolling heavenly sounds constantly exploded in Xiao Yan's mind. Compared to the terrifying pressure of heaven and earth, he was even more terrified by the words spoken by this being.

That was his biggest secret. He had crossed over from another world with the memories of his previous life. He had not told this secret to even his closest relatives!

But now, the existence before him had revealed it in one sentence, and words like "netherworld order" and "reincarnation" could not possibly appear on the Douqi Continent. Where did this being before him come from?

"Could it be a messenger from the netherworld underworld who discovered that I crossed over to this world without entering the cycle of reincarnation?!"

Xiao Yan thought in his mind. According to the books he read in his previous life, reincarnation exists in the world, and if you want to be reborn, you must enter the cycle of reincarnation, judge the sins of your past and present lives, drink Meng Po soup, cross Naihe Bridge, forget your previous life, and then you can be reborn.

But his situation was obviously wrong. He had not forgotten his previous life, which meant that he had not entered the cycle of reincarnation at all!

"It's over, it's over, I've been discovered? But this has nothing to do with me. I was just an ordinary person in my previous life. How could I possibly do these things? Could there be some mastermind behind the scenes deliberately planning all this? But why me, and now I've been discovered…"

Xiao Yan's mind was filled with thoughts, a complete mess. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. He wanted to look up at the existence, but found that he couldn't do it no matter what.

"Lord… Lord, this really has nothing to do with me. I was just an ordinary person in my previous life. How could I have the ability to avoid reincarnation? Please investigate, my Lord!"

Xiao Yan looked miserable, his face full of frustration, his eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, as pitiful as he could be.

"Ah, this seems a bit much."

Jiang Xuan looked at Xiao Yan's expression and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He didn't expect that just revealing Xiao Yan's identity would make him show this expression. Looking at his appearance, he was probably desperately hopeless.

"Hmph, this seat naturally knows. Considering that you are a first-time offender and have been deceived, this seat will allow you this life, but you must not mention anything about your previous life, otherwise, there will be soul-snatching envoys to take your life!"

Although he felt it was a bit too much, Jiang Xuan was not prepared to directly tell him the truth.

"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

Xiao Yan shouted, feeling relieved. He thought he was dead just now, but he didn't expect the other party to allow him to live this life.

"Mm."

Jiang Xuan accepted it calmly. He was now representing the netherworld, so he naturally couldn't drop his pretense, even though this netherworld was his fabrication.

After that, he looked again at the ancient ring on Xiao Yan's body, his eyes slightly cold, and he coldly shouted: "Yao Chen, will you come out yourself, or will this seat invite you out?"

"Such a young Dou Zun, are you from the Hall of Souls?"

An old voice, filled with dread, came from an unknown source, but at this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly discovered that the ancient ring on his body was slowly beginning to tremble.

Immediately afterward, an old, transparent figure floated directly out of it, suspended in the air, looking at Jiang Xuan with dread.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, no, he really had seen a ghost!

"Hall of Souls? Hmph! This seat has not yet punished them for daring to privately imprison souls when my netherworld is fighting extraterrestrial demons and its forces are empty, causing countless souls to linger in the world and interfere with the order of reincarnation. This crime is monstrous and will be settled in the future!"

Jiang Xuan was now prepared to go all the way to the end. He suddenly felt that pulling the banner of reincarnation was a good idea.

Moreover, he thought that the reincarnation in the Desolate Era world would collapse in the future. If Jiang Xuan of the Desolate Era had become a Celestial Immortal by then, he might be able to enter the netherworld of a realm and become a Yama, comprehending the rules of reincarnation.

If he could achieve something, he might really be able to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world in the future!

"Fighting extraterrestrial demons?"

Yao Chen couldn't understand Jiang Xuan's words, but Xiao Yan could. From Jiang Xuan's words, he vaguely judged that the current state of the netherworld didn't seem to be very good. They were fighting extraterrestrial forces, so some worlds had become out of control, which was why his situation had occurred.

"Reincarnation? Netherworld? You are not from the Hall of Souls? But you are only at the Dou Zun realm, yet you dare to say you will punish the Hall of Souls?"

Yao Chen asked several questions in a row. He didn't understand what reincarnation and the netherworld were, but in his opinion, a Dou Zun realm provoking the Hall of Souls was like hitting a stone with an egg, unable to cause any waves at all.

Moreover, he saw that Jiang Xuan had only just entered the Dou Zun realm. He, who had stood at the peak of the Dou Zun realm in his previous life, could not threaten the Hall of Souls, let alone someone who had just entered the Dou Zun realm.

What's more, he knew that there was an even more terrifying force supporting the Hall of Souls. It was precisely because of that force that the Hall of Souls could stand at the peak of the Douqi Continent.

"Hmph, frog at the bottom of a well, if it weren't for the huge consumption of this seat manifesting in the human world, what Hall of Souls? This seat could destroy it with a finger!"

Jiang Xuan looked indifferent, as if he really regarded the Hall of Souls as ants. Anyway, bragging didn't cost anything.

Besides, when he shares a few more times, he might become a Dou Di. What Hall of Souls and Soul Clan? It would just be a matter of a finger!

Xiao Yan was shocked. He didn't think this person was lying. After all, he knew best how terrifying reincarnation was in the myths and legends of his previous life, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Underworld Judge, the Ten Halls of Yama, the Son of Heaven of the Underworld…

"Frog at the bottom of a well?"

Yao Chen was stunned. He had never been evaluated like this before. He was once the number one alchemist on the continent, with a revered status, and he came from one of the ancient eight clans. How high was his vision? Now he was actually said to be a frog at the bottom of a well?

Jiang Xuan sneered, his acting skills at their peak. The surrounding world formed its own domain. Between the shadows, there seemed to be the sound of flowing water, as if washing the world, cleansing everything in the world.

"This… this is?!"

Yao Chen's expression was horrified. He had only felt that kind of rule aura on the Alien Flame, but even the Bone Chilling Flame he controlled was far less complete than this rule.

"This is—Dao! It is the power of rules above the Dou Di!"

Jiang Xuan said indifferently. This was the complete Dao of Flowing Water, manifested in this world in another form, vaguely resonating with the will of heaven and earth.

In the Desolate Era world, the minimum standard for becoming a Celestial Immortal was to have a complete Small Dao, and according to the current realm correspondence, the Dou Di of this world was only equivalent to the Void Returning Earth Immortal of the Desolate Era world.

Therefore, he was indeed right to say that the complete Small Dao of Flowing Water was the power of rules above the Dou Di, although this power of rules was only an auxiliary and not the true power above the Dou Di.

"Impossible!"

No wonder Yao Chen was so excited. Dou Di was already a legend on the Douqi Continent. The power above Dou Di, how could this possibly exist?

But the Dao of Flowing Water was right in front of him. That kind of rule was too complete. He seemed to be able to see all the changes in the water rule, even the most mysterious Alien Flame in the world was far from being able to compare with it.

It was as if it was the most perfect existence in the world. Even though Yao Chen's realm was extraordinary in his lifetime, he could not see any flaws in it!
