The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1730 - 1727: Seizing the Initiative

"Is that Du Qiuzhe?!"
Upon spotting that silhouette, the Mingxin Saint Heir and the others had their eyes bulge wide in shock.
What’s going on?!
Emperor Chi Mei acting like a fool is understandable, but is Du Qiuzhe also insane, charging straight to his demise right now?!
"We can enter now!"
Right then, a top-tier elder expert from the older generation announced.
Evidently, the Sea Abyss had taken shape and steadied itself; entering was now risk-free!
Such was the assessment from the senior experts across all sects.
"Damn, he grabbed the chance!"
Under his breath, the Qingyan Saint Heir swore, then urged, "Let’s rush in as well!"
They figured Du Qiuzhe had lost his senses, yet shockingly, he foresaw the Sea Abyss settling down. That explained his bold plunge ahead.
This level of boldness genuinely won their respect.
Relying solely on chance to gauge the Sea Abyss’s stability was basically begging for death.
Many reclusive loose cultivators dwelling in the mountains had already met their end.
That’s precisely why they saw Ye Xuan, Emperor Chi Mei, and the rest as suicidal fools.
The sole reason Du Qiuzhe abruptly acted was that he too had glimpsed Ye Xuan.
Having clashed with Ye Xuan before at Southern Saber Mountain, Du Qiuzhe understood his power and assurance, so trusting his Sword Dao instincts, he followed Ye Xuan right into the Sea Abyss.
Sure enough, Du Qiuzhe’s bold bet succeeded.
By the time Ye Xuan advanced, the Sea Abyss stood firm and hazard-free.
Now, Ye Xuan’s crew had spearheaded the entry into the Sea Abyss, pressing onward into its depths and claiming the supreme lead.
Emperor Chi Mei had braced for doom initially, yet inside the Sea Abyss, everything proved perfectly fine, filling him with utter astonishment and delight.
His reverence for Ye Xuan soared even higher.
"Is this what the Sea Abyss is like?"
Finally, Emperor Chi Mei got a moment to scan the environment around them.
The Endless Sea parted cleanly in half, its waters seemingly suspended motionless, forming a breathtaking spectacle.
Deeper they ventured along the Sea Abyss, plunging into the heart of the Endless Sea.
Faintly, massive dark forms glided through the iced-over seawater.
Undoubtedly, those were the fearsome sea beasts inhabiting the Endless Sea.
These sea beasts had existed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, each boasting complete Dao Bones.
Capturing even one would bring instant riches beyond measure.
With enough might, it could serve as the foundation to establish an entire sect.
The immense worth of these sea beasts speaks for itself.
Naturally, getting near such elite sea beasts is no simple task; a single lapse could doom even a Great Sage Realm powerhouse.
Luckily, the Sea Abyss itself kept those horrifying sea beasts at bay.
"Is that Sea Crystal Stone?"
Emperor Chi Mei spotted countless crystals lining both walls of the Sea Abyss—priceless Sea Crystal Stones revered throughout the Cultivation World!
One Sea Crystal Stone alone fetched more than ten billion top-grade Spirit Stones.
And here in the Sea Abyss, they littered the place abundantly!
Emperor Chi Mei’s attendants gaped in awe, their horizons utterly expanded.
This was indeed the fabled Sea Abyss, brimming with boundless fortunes!
"Don’t even think about these worthless things."
Noticing some itching to grab them, Ye Xuan stated coolly, "Seizing the opportunity is not about wasting it this way."
"Since we’ve entered the Sea Abyss, aim for greater opportunities."
"Like, treasure from the Great Emperor Immortal Sect."
Hearing those words stunned the group.
"There’s treasure from the Great Emperor Immortal Sect in the Endless Sea?!"
Emperor Chi Mei himself stood dumbfounded.
Isn’t the Endless Sea a Forbidden Land? How could Great Emperor Immortal Sect treasure exist here?
That doubt echoed in every mind.
Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong shared the bewilderment.
"Look at you all, acting like you’ve never seen the world, shocked silly. The Endless Sea has swallowed at least ten Great Emperor Immortal Sects."
With a chuckle, the Qiankun Ancestor remarked.
"Wow! Could this be true?!"
The crowd reeled in shock.
Chuckling again, the Qiankun Ancestor affirmed, "Of course it’s true, my master has seen it with his own eyes, isn’t that right, master."
"Tch, turns out it was your master who saw it, I thought it was you."
From Qiankun Ancestor’s shoulder popped a petite girl in black, who grumbled irritably.
The sight of this black-clad little girl left everyone briefly frozen.
She was the innate divine spirit housed in the God-beating Stone.
"Little sis, if you’re sleeping, can’t you avoid popping out all of a sudden?" Qiankun Ancestor rolled his eyes.
"Well, if my big brother didn’t keep bragging." The black-clad girl snorted.
Qiankun Ancestor clenched his jaw, yet pondering her potential as a future powerhouse, he chose to endure.
The black-clad girl’s outburst snapped everyone back, dismissing it lightly.
Emperor Chi Mei viewed it otherwise; flying nearer to Ye Xuan, he inquired, "Ye brother, is there truly treasure from the Great Emperor Immortal Sect inside?"
Though the Nanli Dynasty now dominates southern Divine Continent, truth be told, it falls short of a Great Emperor Immortal Sect—merely a Great Sage Inheritance, with forebears who were True Destiny Great Sages.
Emperor Chi Mei, a Reincarnator though he be, never achieved towering peaks in his prior existence.
Today’s splendor eclipses his former life.
He yearned intensely for Great Emperor Immortal Sect treasure.
"Little Qiankun wasn’t bragging; the Endless Sea indeed once swallowed no less than ten Great Emperor Immortal Sects."
Ye Xuan shared freely, as it held no secrets for him.
"It’s really true?!"
Emperor Chi Mei struggled to accept it.
The revelation proved overwhelmingly astonishing.
Soon after, puzzlement returned to Emperor Chi Mei: "Isn’t the Endless Sea a Forbidden Land, how did it swallow the Great Emperor Immortal Sects?"
Ye Xuan responded deliberately, "Because the Endless Sea is a Forbidden Land, it swallowed the Great Emperor Immortal Sects."
"Most people misunderstand Forbidden Lands, assuming they appear only in one place and never move. In fact, Forbidden Lands are equipped with formidable Forbidden Power, which goes beyond ordinary limits."
Ye Xuan’s explanation struck Emperor Chi Mei profoundly.
Thus, the Endless Sea ranked among the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions?
Actually, Ye Xuan skimmed the specifics, merely alluding to the truth.
Ye Xuan himself had beheld the Endless Sea materialize in another Divine Continent spot, outright devouring a Great Emperor Immortal Sect and all within.
Naturally, that sect’s treasures lingered inside the Endless Sea.
The Sea Abyss’s opening offered a shot at unearthing Great Emperor Immortal Sect treasures.
Whoosh!
Just then, the belated Du Qiuzhe rode his sword, overtaking to join Ye Xuan’s party.
"Du Qiuzhe, what do you mean?"
Spotting him sparked caution in Emperor Chi Mei.
This figure rang renowned across the Divine Continent as Sword Dao’s premier youth, unrivaled among peers.
Formerly, solely Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch edged him slightly.
With Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch gone, Du Qiuzhe reigned as the younger generation’s pinnacle.
Emperor Chi Mei held no certainty of victory over Du Qiuzhe.
"Mr. Ye, long time no see."
Du Qiuzhe stayed composed and taciturn, yet esteemed Ye Xuan greatly.
For Ye Xuan embodied true invincibility, a peerlessly mighty force!
Du Qiuzhe ignored Emperor Chi Mei entirely.
