The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1719: 1716: True Dragon Dragon Ball

Xia Yuan noticed Zhou Youwei, his face displaying an odd look.

He knew the background story of this young lady.

During her time at the Southern Ridge Divine Mountain, she acted like someone entirely new.

From what he knew, it was very probable that memories of a Reincarnator had surfaced.

This young lady had vanished for quite a while too.

Surprisingly, she was back now.

Quickly, Xia Yuan dismissed his musings, faced Ye Xuan, and gave a meaningful glance.

Ye Xuan caught the implication in Xia Yuan’s gaze and shook his head lightly, replying, “She’s my wife, Zhou Youwei, no need to avoid her.”

In his heart, Ye Xuan stayed nonchalant.

Youwei’s true identity was far scarier than Xia Yuan could fathom, so whatever massive secret Xia Yuan wanted to share, it wouldn’t faze her.

Hearing that, Xia Yuan paused briefly, bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan first, then declared, “I implore Young Master Ye to offer your assistance!”

Ye Xuan arched a brow: “Didn’t I make it clear last time? When you meet the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, tell him to come find me himself.”

Solemnly, Xia Yuan replied, “Truth be told, that’s exactly why I’ve come here.”

“His Majesty faces grave danger!”

Xia Yuan spoke with heavy urgency.

Ye Xuan stayed composed, eyed Xia Yuan calmly, and remarked flatly, “What’s that got to do with me?”

Xia Yuan quickly responded, “Right after our last encounter with Young Master Ye, I began efforts to reach His Majesty, but since the entire scheme was his design, I had to trace the hints he planted. Soon enough, I located a soul lamp he left behind. That soul lamp truly belongs to His Majesty, yet now it dims and teeters on the brink of going out!”

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and questioned, “So, you mean the Heavenly Dragon Emperor is on the verge of death?”

In distress, Xia Yuan pleaded, “Young Master Ye possesses remarkable abilities, which is why I’ve sought you out specifically for aid. Whatever Young Master Ye requires, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty will provide without delay.”

Ye Xuan dismissed it with a wave, “Fine, but I’m not interested.”

He had detected the Heavenly Dragon Emperor’s schemes earlier, prompting him to question Xia Yuan for details.

Yet with the Heavenly Dragon Emperor nearing his end, Ye Xuan’s curiosity faded.

“Young Master Ye!”

Xia Yuan grew desperate in an instant.

He had arrived full of desperate hope!

“Head back; perhaps it’s merely another layer of your majesty’s scheme.” Ye Xuan gestured dismissively.

Though Xia Yuan served as the Emperor General under the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, Ye Xuan gleaned little valuable intel from him.

Thus, he had no strong urge to keep talking.

Clenching his teeth, Xia Yuan finally revealed an item.

It was a bead akin to a twinkling star.

Inside that bead lay what appeared to be an immense cosmos, utterly transparent and strikingly lovely.

Xia Yuan presented it with both hands, stating, “This True Dragon Dragon Ball was acquired by His Majesty long ago and granted to me as a reward. I’ve kept it unused. I understand Young Master Ye boasts a supreme physique, yet it seems stalled at a certain level for ages. May this offer you some aid.”

Ye Xuan observed the star-like clear bead without much astonishment.

True Dragon Dragon Ball—truly exceptional rarity.

Particularly at this caliber.

The True Dragon that birthed this Dragon Ball had reached the Great Emperor Level.

Only such heights could produce a Dragon Ball of this caliber.

Ye Xuan assessed its quality instantly, having encountered countless ones across boundless eras.

Dragons stand as an Emperor Clan among the Demon Race, famed across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

True Dragons possess limitless promise.

Upon reaching their pinnacle evolution, they ascend as the Emperor of True Dragons.

In truth, Xia Yuan remained oblivious to the unimaginable worth of this True Dragon Dragon Ball.

With a subtle flick of his finger, Ye Xuan drew the True Dragon Dragon Ball into his grasp.

Suddenly, the grand hall morphed into an expansive starry cosmos, galaxy chains manifesting in dazzling splendor.

Ye Xuan felt the boost this treasure could grant his Taoist Body, then with another flick, sent the True Dragon Dragon Ball back to Xia Yuan’s hand.

Xia Yuan paled noticeably.

Softly, Ye Xuan instructed, “First, describe the exact circumstances.”

The True Dragon Dragon Ball would indeed benefit the Taoist Body, though shattering the Heavenly Dao Suppression’s limits remained challenging.

Still, achieving the supreme pinnacle—even short of full Great Success—would suffice.

Ye Xuan recognized that the Taoist Body outshone the Nine Great Immortal Bodies and worldly physiques; its half-step Great Success eclipsed an Immortal Body’s, matching the Nine Great Immortal Bodies outright.

Should it attain Great Success, even nascent, it could effortlessly dominate a perfected Nine Great Immortal Body.

At that point, smashing a Great Saint would be feasible.

Such a being clearly defied the Heavenly Dao Suppression’s tolerance.

Yet the Taoist Body’s ongoing advancement signaled the Heavenly Dao Suppression weakening against it.

Or maybe…

The Heavenly Dao Suppression was steadily lifting.

Hence, claiming this True Dragon Dragon Ball proved worthwhile.

But Ye Xuan required clarity on the situation.

If it proved overly complicated, he’d pass on helping.

After all, the Sea Abyss of the Endless Sea loomed near emergence.

Reports from Little Qiankun already showed clear signs of the Sea Abyss surfacing.

Amid this, distractions were unaffordable.

Spotting an opening, Xia Yuan dove right in without delay.

The soul lamp was unquestionably the Heavenly Dragon Emperor’s, flickering toward extinction yet not fully out, as though enduring a horrific ordeal.

Still, Xia Yuan lacked means to locate the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, leaving Ye Xuan as his sole recourse.

Ye Xuan furrowed his brow sharply, “Without knowing his location, how can I possibly assist?”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly, “These are all the leads I have; please, Young Master Ye, show some leniency.”

“What if he’s simply in slumber?”

Suddenly, Zhou Youwei, silent until now, spoke gently.

Ye Xuan’s lips twitched faintly; he glanced at Zhou Youwei with an expression.

Zhou Youwei grasped Ye Xuan’s meaning at once and continued evenly, “Maybe the problem lies in his sleeping spot.”

Xia Yuan brushed off Zhou Youwei’s comment, placing faith in Ye Xuan’s prowess.

He bowed to Ye Xuan, pleading, “Young Master Ye, name any condition; if you rescue His Majesty, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty offers any recompense.”

“Take this True Dragon Dragon Ball for now.”

Xia Yuan extended the True Dragon Dragon Ball once more.

Ye Xuan didn’t seize it immediately, pondering briefly before warning, “Prepare yourself; even with my help, success isn’t guaranteed.”

Grateful for Ye Xuan’s consent, Xia Yuan said, “Many thanks, Young Master Ye.”

Only then did Ye Xuan take the True Dragon Dragon Ball, instructing, “Wait outside; I need to devise a strategy.”

Xia Yuan departed the hall compliantly.

With Xia Yuan gone, Ye Xuan eyed Zhou Youwei, teasing, “Silly wife, you nearly ruined my scheme.”

Zhou Youwei playfully stuck out her tongue, then gazed at Ye Xuan curiously, “Husband, that’s unfair; what if the Heavenly Dragon Emperor is truly just asleep? Wouldn’t you be keeping his True Dragon Dragon Ball unjustly?”

Ye Xuan juggled the True Dragon Dragon Ball, eyes narrowing, “That’s merely one scenario; other possibilities exist.”

Turning to Zhou Youwei, Ye Xuan asked, “Want to accompany me on this journey?”
