The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1727 - 1724: Arrival at the Divine Continent

Ultimately, Ye Xuan departed alongside these two young girls.

Ye Xuan had encountered Zhang Jingtong, this little girl, in the past.

That occasion occurred in Dao Chu Ancient Land, as they headed toward Empty Ancient City in search of Zhang Qingfeng.

Zhang Jingtong possessed the ability to perceive things invisible to regular folks.

For instance...

Certain experiences of Ye Xuan.

Though Zhang Jingtong was sent this time by her grandfather Zhang Qingfeng, she personally yearned to draw nearer to Ye Xuan and witness even more.

Yet, upon this encounter with Ye Xuan, Zhang Jingtong discovered she could no longer peer through him clearly.

Before, she had glimpsed numerous experiences tied to Ye Xuan.

Now, however, everything seemed veiled in fog, impossible to discern.

"Even your grandfather wouldn't dare gaze at me so intently; you're truly bold,"

Along the path, Ye Xuan shot a look at Zhang Jingtong, who kept staring fixedly at him.

This gave the little girl a fright; her cheeks flushed red as she quickly apologized, "Sorry, Brother Ye, I was impolite."

Ye Xuan brushed it off without much ado and gently remarked, "Knowing too much might not bring you joy. You could end up seeing me as a bad guy."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingtong shook her head at once, her face resolute as she declared, "No way, you're the noblest good person; nobody in the world matches you."

This stemmed from her prior visions.

She knew Ye Xuan had saved all sentient beings once.

Though history books held no record, Zhang Jingtong had witnessed it herself—she was certain she wasn't wrong.

She had also beheld Ye Xuan's tireless struggles for the Human Clan's ascent.

She simply couldn't fathom why history omitted such deeds.

By rights, merits like these deserved eternal praise through the ages.

"A good person, maybe, perhaps,"

Ye Xuan offered a faint smile, adding no more.

To countless individuals, he ranked as the supreme good person.

Yet to others, he stood as the world's vilest fiend!

Judgments on many matters hinge on one's viewpoint.

The trio left Daozhou and swiftly reached Divine Continent.

Divine Continent sprawled immensely, dwarfing Daozhou in scale.

The mere view of the Endless Sea alone proved breathtaking.

Particularly of late.

The Endless Sea's disturbances grew more pronounced, whipping up massive waves that surged past the Ninth Layer Heaven.

Stars occasionally tumbled down, plunging into the Endless Sea only to vanish instantly within its depths.

Endless Sea, Endless Sea.

Its waters appeared limitless, depths unfathomable, breadth immeasurable.

The surface might not seem overly vast, yet plunge beneath and discover true boundlessness.

No soul has located the Endless Sea's edge.

Only the Sea Abyss's emergence offers a glimpse at its boundary.

Of course, that's merely one theory; another claims the Sea Abyss merely accesses a specific zone, not the true terminus.

The truth eludes all knowledge.

"Master."

As Ye Xuan landed, Qiankun Ancestor hurried forward with eagerness.

"What's the latest?" Ye Xuan inquired while striding ahead.

"Everything proceeds smoothly; it should emerge in three days." Qiankun Ancestor hastened to match Ye Xuan's pace, trailing half a step behind.

"Fine, we'll wait out those three days."

Ye Xuan declared.

The group settled at an overlook commanding the full vista of the Endless Sea.

Ye Xuan surveyed the Endless Sea below, where fierce gales drove waves smashing beyond the Ninth Layer Heaven.

This spot excelled for viewing, yet posed grave peril—a single lapse might spell harm.

For Ye Xuan, though, danger was nonexistent.

After assessing, Ye Xuan affirmed the Sea Abyss would manifest within three days.

"Keep vigilant watch."

Ye Xuan instructed.

Qiankun Ancestor had no choice but to endure the wait here.

"Senior sister, let's explore around."

Ning Fu tugged Zhang Jingtong, eager to roam near the Endless Sea.

The Endless Sea's upheavals had drawn Cultivation World merchants scenting profit, erecting stalls hawking Water-Repelling Pearls, Water Avoidance Charms, and similar wares.

This piqued Ning Fu's curiosity immensely.

"You can craft those items yourself, you realize?"

Ye Xuan responded indifferently.

Ning Fu blinked her eyes and replied, "True, but this is Divine Continent—unlike Earth State; go on ahead, senior sister and I will catch up after our walk."

Ye Xuan dismissed them with a wave, "No worries, I'll seek you out in three days."

Ning Fu waved goodbye, "See you!"

Ye Xuan vanished in an instant; shopping with two young girls held zero appeal for him.

Being in Divine Continent, he naturally sought the Kunlun Woodsman.

The Evil God Sect incident tied into the Kunlun Ruins.

Yet, guarded by the Kunlun Woodsman, the Kunlun Ruins remained untouched.

The Evil God Sect assailants had all been seized long ago.

Ye Xuan reached the Kunlun Woodsman's cabin, found it empty, and helped himself to a bowl of water.

With nothing pressing, Ye Xuan began cultivating inside, restoring the power spent by the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix, meanwhile, opted to retreat into slumber once more.

Whenever Ye Xuan faced a terrifying powerhouse, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix hid away, lest it suffer a grim end.

Like the prior incident in Desolate Realm: after parting, it got nabbed by Desolate Realm Sovereign and almost butchered.

Time passed leisurely.

Night descended.

Mountain insects chirped abundantly, yet harmoniously, evoking serenity and harmony.

That night, the Kunlun Woodsman came back hauling a hefty load of firewood.

After stacking the wood, he entered to pour himself a drink.

Spotting Ye Xuan caused no surprise.

He knew of the Endless Sea anomaly, and such events invariably linked to Ye Xuan.

After draining his bowl, he set it aside.

The Kunlun Woodsman noticed Ye Xuan's eyes already open, fixed upon him.

"Why the intense stare? It's unsettling," the Kunlun Woodsman remarked.

Ye Xuan's eyes held profound depth, "Are you aware of the forces lurking behind this Evil God Sect affair?"

The Kunlun Woodsman halted, his brow furrowing, "I haven't delved deep, but if you bring it up, trouble's afoot."

Ye Xuan laid out the full gravity to the Kunlun Woodsman, revealing the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Mountain God Dao without reserve.

This secret could elude others, but not the Woodsman.

Upon hearing it all, the Kunlun Woodsman's face grew grave: "So those Dou Tian Divine Domain bastards aim to make a comeback!"

Ye Xuan nodded faintly, "Precisely."

The Kunlun Woodsman's eyes narrowed, blazing with murderous fury: "Let them come quickly then—I've grown weary of the wait."

Ye Xuan stayed silent, fully aware that despite his might, the Kunlun Woodsman staved off life's decline via slumber or similar arts.

Still, this offered no lasting fix; death loomed inevitable someday.

The Kunlun Woodsman's deepest wish was to perish amid that epic clash, ideally wiping out every Dou Tian Divine Domain foe.
