The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1733 - 1730: Empress of Ice Soul
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"Fellow Daoists, since you have fatefully arrived, why not enter the Ice Soul Immortal Sect for a discussion?"
From the distance, a voice drifted slowly, causing shivers to race down the spines of all present.
Though it sounded like a melodious woman's voice, it chilled the listeners to the bone upon entering their ears.
Could there truly be someone alive in this place!?
"Senior..." Emperor Chi Mei hesitated for a moment, so he looked toward Ye Xuan.
Such a scenario was completely unfamiliar to them.
"The opportunity lies right in front of you; grasping it is up to you all."
Ye Xuan gave a subtle reminder before advancing to take the lead.
Qiankun Ancestor moved right after him.
The rest hurried to follow suit.
Even with their fear gripping them, Ye Xuan's presence seemed to ease their terror somewhat.
As Ye Xuan guided them forward, entering the Dao Field, the cross-legged youths and maidens turned their vacant eyes toward him, suddenly lighting up with vitality.
Upon Ye Xuan's entry into the Dao Field, these young disciples appeared to awaken, brimming with vibrant Essence Qi Spirit as they gazed curiously at Ye Xuan and his companions.
Since Ye Xuan and the group hailed from the modern age, their clothing differed noticeably.
Yet these youths recognized the arrivals as visitors, so they offered cupped-hand salutes.
Ye Xuan paid no heed to them and pressed on directly into the Ice Soul Immortal Sect.
"What a rude fellow."
A member of the Ice Soul Immortal Sect grumbled in irritation.
Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong responded with polite bows.
However, the pair of young women avoided staring for too long.
They discerned the true essence of these individuals.
These people had decayed and died ages ago; their current forms stemmed purely from some bizarre occurrence.
Skeletons littered the entire Dao Field, thoroughly rotted away.
Just the elderly lecturer, with his serene demeanor, possessed gleaming golden bones, hinting at his extraordinary past power that preserved his remains even through ancient times.
"You all don’t need to follow."
Ye Xuan stopped and said gently.
His statement stunned the group.
"Interacting with them more can take you back to the ancient times, which will be greatly beneficial."
With that, Ye Xuan moved onward once more.
"Back to the ancient times!?"
Excitement surged through everyone at those words, and trusting Ye Xuan completely, they stayed in the Dao Field to mingle with the Ice Soul Immortal Sect members.
Only Qiankun Ancestor stuck close to Ye Xuan.
This wasn't their initial visit to the Sea Abyss in the Endless Sea—Ye Xuan especially had come multiple times, once to claim the Immaculate Duster, then returning it, and now intending to retrieve it again.
Although Ye Xuan had never set foot in the Ice Soul Immortal Sect proper, he knew the governing laws here intimately.
The Forbidden Land God moniker was well-deserved.
Stepping inside the Ice Soul Immortal Sect made one lose awareness of being in the Sea Abyss, as though visiting the ancient sect in its prime.
Rich immortal essence permeated the whole Ice Soul Immortal Sect, alongside boundless Ice Laws.
The Ice Soul Immortal Sect's founder, Ice Soul Empress, had elevated her Ice Dao to unparalleled heights in a remarkable fashion.
Regrettably, the horrifying Forbidden Power of the Endless Sea swallowed her, leaving no trace behind.
Ice Soul Empress's lofty dreams remained unfulfilled, forever lost within the Endless Sea.
Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor continued deeper in.
Deep inside the Ice Soul Immortal Sect lay a cavern where Heaven and Earth Essence Qi had turned liquid, streaming through the Void.
Innumerable Dao Laws swirled endlessly.
Cultivating in such a spot would yield twice the results with half the effort.
A figure meditated within that cavern.
Drawing nearer revealed it to be a female form.
Small and delicate, she resembled a child from a distance.
Clad in white beneath a pale blue robe, her matching long hair crowned with an Emperor’s Crown, an aura of transcendence and detachment emanated from her doll-like features.
She appeared deep in meditation.
Her breaths came exceedingly slow, harmonizing with the laws of the universe.
Soon, Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor reached the cave's entrance.
The woman gradually opened her eyes, resembling fractured ice crystals, both mysterious and chilling.
Ye Xuan entered the cave as Qiankun Ancestor remained outside.
Ye Xuan settled cross-legged before the woman.
A faint smile graced the woman's lips at the sight of Ye Xuan.
The cavern twisted around them, and abruptly, they sat in a elegant tea pavilion, fine tea ware arranged on the table, each cup filled seven-tenths with tea.
"This tea is called Ice Crystal Tea, unique to our Ice Soul Immortal Sect, please enjoy."
The woman's voice rang ethereal and soothing, delivered in gentle tones.
This matched the earlier female voice!
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan lifted a cup and inhaled lightly—a crisp mint scent wafted up, refreshing his spirit.
He sipped the tea; warmth spread first, then a cooling wave coursed through his body, inducing comfort and an instinctive easing of his Realm.
This tea is superb!
"It’s a pity the Ice Soul Immortal Sect fell too soon, this is only the second time I’ve had this tea."
Ye Xuan murmured softly.
His remark made the woman opposite tense briefly, her eerie ice-crystal gaze locking onto Ye Xuan as she asked quietly, "The Ice Soul Immortal Sect fell too soon, what do you mean by that, would you care to explain?"
Ye Xuan met her gaze steadily, replying calmly: "Because the Ice Soul Immortal Sect has long since ceased to exist; everything here now is but illusory bubbles. As the Ice Soul Empress yourself, haven’t you noticed?"
The figure facing him was the Ice Soul Immortal Sect's founder, Ice Soul Empress!
Bang!
With Ye Xuan's words finished, a fearsome power burst out.
Pure Emperor’s Might!
In that moment, Qiankun Ancestor materialized behind Ye Xuan, staring icily at Ice Soul Empress.
The Emperor’s Might dissipated instantly.
Here,
no Heavenly Dao Suppression applied.
Qiankun Ancestor stood invincible.
Ice Soul Empress eyed the abruptly appearing Qiankun Ancestor, shock flashing in her eyes, clearly unprepared for Ye Xuan's companion to possess such prowess, nullifying her Emperor’s Might.
Yet she sensed plainly that Qiankun Ancestor wasn't a Great Emperor.
How then could he rival her imperial might?
Comprehension dawned on Ice Soul Empress in a flash.
"Divine Enthronement?"
Ice Soul Empress regarded Qiankun Ancestor and uttered softly.
Equaling a Great Emperor without being one.
Only Divine Enthronement fit.
"I was enthroned a deity before your True Spirit was even born."
Qiankun Ancestor stated calmly: "Moreover, this is my family head, Undying Night Emperor."
