The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1728 - 1725: The Sea Abyss Appears
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"If it doesn’t appear in this lifetime, I’ll truly regret it for the rest of my days."
The Kunlun woodcutter declared with utmost gravity.
He was fated to endure only this single lifetime.
Afterward, no remnant of him would linger in the River of Time.
Yet the Kunlun woodcutter had accepted all this long ago; utter indifference gripped him.
His burning focus lay on shredding the forces of the Dou Tian Divine Domain in the wake of that clash!
By that point, even if Kunlun Ruins dissolved into the River of Time, it would signify nothing!
Ye Xuan eyed the Kunlun woodcutter's uncharacteristic demeanor and fell silent.
His prior words had aimed to fan the flames of battle fervor, staving off total apathy.
The desired result was secured, rendering more talk pointless.
For the ensuing three days, Ye Xuan lingered alongside the woodcutter.
This spring water offered tremendous aid to cultivation.
A daily bowl delivered boundless delight.
Three days on, a thunderous explosion rattled the full expanse of Divine Continent.
Myriad powerhouses rocketed skyward, fixating in stunned awe toward the Endless Sea.
"The Sea Abyss of the Endless Sea has appeared!"
The tidings raced like lightning bolts over the vast lands.
Swiftly, the other Eight States caught wind and dispatched investigators.
The Sea Abyss of the Endless Sea emerging heralded the unsealing of its hidden treasures!
Every forbidden zone among the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions pulsed with profound mythical essence.
Legends of forbidden lands echoed through every state.
As one of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions, the Endless Sea brimmed with such lore too.
No one could foresee when the Endless Sea's Sea Abyss would manifest, though annals confirmed its multiple prior unveilings.
Each instance ignited a maelstrom of gore across the Xuanhuang Great World.
The cause was singular.
For the Sea Abyss's breach always unleashed a torrent of priceless treasures.
These riches lured cultivators into savage contests, dooming hordes to grim ends amid the frenzy.
Still, the allure of the Endless Sea's Sea Abyss proved irresistible to cultivators everywhere.
Not every cultivator could pledge to a Sect.
Countless loose cultivators scraped by with meager supplies, desperately hunting cultivation aids to grow mightier.
For them, fortuitous encounters shone as the ultimate boon.
Yet such strokes of fate were woefully sparse.
Unseen for millions of years, the Sea Abyss's return spelled ecstatic fortune for loose cultivators.
Mighty Sects and powers, too, hungered for this opulent banquet.
No soul ever spurned abundant cultivation riches.
Ye Xuan ignored the brewing storm.
He discovered Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong haggling fiercely over talismans.
Their spirited bargaining tickled Ye Xuan.
Divine Talisman Masters of Daoism held sway across the realm.
Dragon Tiger Mountain reigned as a legendary Talisman Sect the world over.
Pengxuan Cave Heaven shunned talisman fame, yet Ning Fu had apprenticed under Earth State's myriad schools; her divine talisman prowess pierced the firmament—why procure them?
Snagging divine talismans dirt cheap, the pair grinned like conquerors of epic strife.
They regaled Ye Xuan with fresh tales of mirth.
One diver wielded a Water Avoidance Charm into the Endless Sea, hauling a hundred-zhang divine fish that fetched ten billion top-grade Spirit Stones.
Others leaped in and surfaced no more.
These escapades enthralled the two girls utterly.
Casual chatter from them hid deeper intent in Ye Xuan's ears.
From their recounting, Ye Xuan sifted crucial anomalies.
"They say the Endless Sea hasn’t undergone any transformation, but it seems the transformation of the Endless Sea is the most conspicuous..."
Ye Xuan recalled the Endless Sea as a peril matching Death Netherworld—a lethal snare.
Now, folk plunged in via Water Avoidance Charm to snag divine fish.
This defied reason.
Such shifts crept in unseen, eluding all notice.
"Look quickly, that’s the Sea Abyss of the Endless Sea!"
Ahead, pandemonium surged.
Endless Sea shores swarmed with cultivator throngs.
In skies, on earth.
All stares pierced the Endless Sea's core.
A nightmarish vista erupted there!
Sea-dwellers got hurled afar by cataclysmic might, many forfeiting lives.
"Master."
Qiankun Ancestor materialized, bullying crowds to forge Ye Xuan's path.
"What are you doing?!"
Shoved cultivators flared in fury, eyes venomous.
Qiankun Ancestor flung out a mound of Spirit Stones, jabbing at the prime locale.
Rage ebbed as eyes lit on the bounty, though one slyly countered, "I’ve waited long for this place, this few Spirit Stones aren’t enough."
Qiankun Ancestor flicked his sleeve, banishing the pest.
Spirit Stones overflowed for him anyway.
Long stationed here, Qiankun Ancestor pegged him as a shameless squatter.
Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones was lavish mercy.
After 'purchasing' spots thus, the four claimed their stance, peering afar.
Rumbling ————
Distant Endless Sea heart boomed horrifically, seawater frothing in frenzy.
Then, amid collective shock, Endless Sea waves cleaved asunder, birthing a yawning Sea Abyss of unfathomable reach.
"The Sea Abyss has formed!"
A jubilant roar erupted from the horde!
A true extravaganza for the Cultivation World!
"Ye brother!"
"Ye brother!"
Distant calls beckoned Ye Xuan.
A scarlet-robed youth, tiny Dragon Jade swaying from his earlobe, rushed up beaming astonishment.
Mighty escorts shadowed him, proclaiming his elite lineage.
Disgruntled shoved folk blanched at the youth, lips sealed.
Ignoramuses geared to berate but got yanked back by allies.
"Do you want to die? That’s Emperor Chi Mei!"
Emperor Chi Mei's name drained color from that face in dread.
"Emperor Chi Mei, isn’t he one of the strongest young figures in the Divine Continent since Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch’s death?"
Incredulity seized them.
Why would such a titan jostle for spots among rabble?
Puzzlement reigned.
Not just them—even Divine Continent Sacred Land elites in their lofty Heavenly Palace reeled in confusion.
Emperor Chi Mei, peerless genius from Divine Continent's southern Nanli Kingdom, skyrocketed after Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch's Daozhou demise from Kunlun Ruins, eyeing supremacy among youths.
His foes, witnessing the spot-squeeze with loose cultivators, scoffed derisively.
"Southern buffoon is indeed a southern buffoon, no manners at all."
