The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1731 - 1728: Opportunities Everywhere

Though Ye Xuan was far younger than him, deep down, he preferred to regard Ye Xuan as an elder.

Because Ye Xuan...

Possessed utterly overwhelming might!

Not on the same level whatsoever.

Du Qiuzhe believed that in the current era, nobody could rival Ye Xuan in combat.

Maybe only the concealed experts of the Longevity Family or ancient monsters from past generations could pose a threat.

But even that was merely a slim possibility.

At Southern Saber Mountain, Ye Xuan first slew an elder powerhouse, shocking everyone present, then single-handedly battled the younger generation and ultimately crushed Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch from the Central Earth Divine Continent.

Undefeated throughout.

Nothing could halt his advance.

Whoever witnessed Ye Xuan couldn't help but be awestruck by his domineering presence.

"You know each other?"

Emperor Chi Mei was briefly taken aback seeing Du Qiuzhe converse with Ye Xuan.

Du Qiuzhe shot a glance at Emperor Chi Mei and gave a faint nod in reply.

"Since you're allies, that's reassuring."

Emperor Chi Mei offered a subtle smile.

"Mr. Ye, might there still be an opportunity for your guidance on the Sword Dao?" Du Qiuzhe inquired gently.

Last time, Ye Xuan had effortlessly defeated him with just one 'sword'.

Yet that single stroke provided him tremendous insight.

Thus, Du Qiuzhe held profound respect for Ye Xuan and yearned for more instruction.

"Master that sword first, then come to me."

Ye Xuan replied offhandedly.

That strike was only a casual gesture to foster goodwill.

In the Divine Continent where Du Qiuzhe hailed from, Sword Dao had fallen into decay, far worse than in the East Desolate.

Don't let the East Desolate's lack of young Sword Dao prodigies fool you; it's simply because talents like Xu Zhonglou and Song Qilin haven't matured yet.

By the time they reach Du Qiuzhe's age, they'll surpass him easily.

This was precisely why Ye Xuan spared Du Qiuzhe before.

Sword cultivators are scarce nowadays, and those with Du Qiuzhe's pure dedication are even rarer. The cultivation world grows too ordinary; slaying him would be regrettable.

"Many thanks, Mr. Ye!" Du Qiuzhe declared earnestly.

This stirred a hint of envy in Emperor Chi Mei.

So Du Qiuzhe had once been mentored by Senior Ye!

During their conversation, the group plunged swiftly downward, traversing over a million miles.

Still, the depths remained out of sight.

Meanwhile, cultivators beyond the Endless Sea were also advancing, diving into the Sea Abyss.

The Sea Abyss spanned endlessly, able to hold billions of creatures simultaneously.

Thus, despite the crowds, no conflicts erupted; they weren't idiots, and with treasures yet to emerge, fights made no sense.

Unnecessary clashes held no value.

Mingxin Saint Heir, Daffodil Fairy, Green Flame Saint Heir, and their followers had already plunged in, their prestigious statuses letting them lead the rush into the Endless Sea's Sea Abyss.

Surprisingly, Kunlun Ruins—the Divine Continent's Guardian God and supreme Overlord—showed no interest, sending no one at the opening, which baffled many.

This allowed Mingxin Sacred Land, Daffodil Sect, and Green Flame Sect to claim the lead.

Otherwise, Kunlun Ruins' presence would force all other Divine Continent powers to yield.

That's the essence of total supremacy.

Yet now, Mingxin Sacred Land, Daffodil Sect, and Green Flame Sect dominated, holding the advantage.

The three prodigious leaders deterred any ordinary challengers from vying for position.

They searched for Du Qiuzhe, Emperor Chi Mei, and the rest but found no trace.

"Looks like that southern barbarian and Du Qiuzhe are gone for good."

Green Flame Saint Heir chuckled.

This news thrilled them.

With those two eliminated, none could challenge their supremacy among the youth.

"Sea Crystal Stones ahead!"

Daffodil Fairy spotted them first and cried out.

"How can there be so many?"

Mingxin Saint Heir felt a surge of excitement.

These Sea Crystal Stones could fuel their Sacred Land for hundreds of thousands of years without faltering!

"Stay composed—nothing in the Sea Abyss warrants shock; this is the Endless Sea's domain!"

Green Flame Saint Heir recovered quickest, warning gravely.

"Exactly, Sea Crystal Stones aren't our goal—press on!"

Mingxin Saint Heir burned with greater ambition.

The party delved further.

Deeper in, they began detecting faint auras.

"That's Du Qiuzhe's Sword Intent?!"

Green Flame Saint Heir exclaimed in surprise—wasn't he dead?

The group traded looks, each noting the seriousness in the others' gazes.

If alive, he'd gained the upper hand; they had to hasten.

By now, Ye Xuan's party had pierced into another stratum of the Sea Abyss.

The flanking seas churned wildly now, no longer frozen, revealing the vivid scales and hides of passing sea beasts!

Du Qiuzhe had tested it earlier, but his Sword Intent failed to breach the Sea Abyss.

"Could the Endless Sea truly stretch forever?"

Even the typically stoic Du Qiuzhe muttered this question.

"Ridiculous—if the Endless Sea had an end, it wouldn't bear that name."

Qiankun Ancestor shot back casually.

"Be cautious—as we descend further, we'll enter the true Sea Abyss, but fear not overly; the Sea Abyss's Forbidden Power still shields us."

Ye Xuan cautioned steadily from ahead.

Everyone tensed up instantly.

Moments later, seawater rushed in fiercely.

It felt like the Sea Abyss's barrier had vanished, plunging them into the genuine Endless Sea.

Yet Ye Xuan's words confirmed this as the authentic Sea Abyss.

The protective force endured regardless.

Still, colossal sea beasts gliding past sent their hearts racing wildly.

Those beasts' auras pressed palpably close.

Million-year-old behemoths at minimum!

No Great Sage would dare clash head-on.

The group trailed Ye Xuan tightly, plunging ever deeper.

"Treasures everywhere!"

Soon, countless unassuming shells drifted amid the waters.

Each harbored priceless wonders!

"Gather them as you see fit."

Ye Xuan permitted.

Elation swept the group as they scooped up the riches.

"This Fire Dragon Crystal Jade... even a Great Sage's legacy couldn't yield such a prize..."

Emperor Chi Mei gasped while claiming one.

This was indeed the Endless Sea's Sea Abyss, brimming with fortunes!

Utterly thrilling!

Boom!

Suddenly, a gigantic million-year-old sea beast wheeled around, its crimson eyes blazing like twin blood suns, locking onto someone in their midst.

Terrifying pressure crashed down without mercy!
