The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1735 - 1732: Gateway to the Endless Sea

"Ice Soul Immortal Gate?!"

Shock surged across the faces of Saint Heir Ming Xin and his companions as they spotted the ancient structure in front, struggling to accept the reality.

A mystical power seemed to emanate from those four archaic characters, filling them with profound reverence.

"Isn’t the Ice Soul Immortal Gate secluded from the world? How come it’s showing up right here?"

Bewilderment clouded Fairy Shui’s stunning features, mirroring her inner confusion.

"We’re in the Endless Sea, and with the Ice Soul Immortal Gate emerging here, the implications are crystal clear..."

Saint Heir Qing Yan’s complexion drained to a ghostly pallor.

Founded by the Ice Soul Empress, the Ice Soul Immortal Gate stands as an Immortal Sect tied to a Great Emperor, having withdrawn into seclusion akin to the Longevity Families.

Yet astonishingly, the Ice Soul Immortal Gate has now surfaced in this location.

The Endless Sea lies before them.

It ranks among the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang!

"Hold on, that doesn’t add up. True, this is the Endless Sea, but Sea Abyss power shields it, so external influences shouldn’t reach here." Saint Heir Ming Xin murmured: "Did the Ice Soul Empress hide her Sect here ages ago? What a masterful scheme!"

Hiding a Sect inside the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions defies all imagination.

Everyone knows the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions as a dreadful realm that can entomb even Emperors.

During their travels, greed led them to repeat the errors of Emperor Chi Mei’s followers, hoarding too many treasures and provoking assaults from million-year-old sea beasts that claimed numerous cultivators.

Fortunately, their own subordinates handled the gathering, sparing them harm and letting them reach this spot unscathed.

Still, they had personally beheld the Endless Sea’s horrifying might.

Thus, discovering the Ice Soul Immortal Gate’s concealment here struck them with even greater astonishment.

"Someone’s inside!"

Right then, Saint Heir Qing Yan and his group detected obvious presences of cultivators inside the Ice Soul Immortal Gate.

Clang!

The grand gates of the Ice Soul Immortal Gate burst open with a resounding clash.

Terrifying oceanic torrents surged outward in an instant.

Faces twisted in alarm as everyone unleashed defensive arts, barely dodging the onslaught.

Lifting their gazes toward the Immortal Gate, a band of young figures came into view.

Disciples of the Ice Soul Immortal Gate, they were.

"Emperor Chi Mei?!"

Spotting one familiar face amid the group, Saint Heir Qing Yan blurted out in surprise.

Emperor Chi Mei had made it here as well!

Against all odds, this man lived on!

Du Qiuzhe’s survival had already stunned them, but now this one endured too.

So Emperor Chi Mei’s so-called dim-witted ally grabbed the prime chance first?!

Unease flickered through Saint Heir Ming Xin, Saint Heir Qing Yan, and Fairy Shui for a brief instant.

They once mocked Ye Xuan as an idiot for charging ahead amid the chaotic Sea Abyss, yet now his vision proved prescient.

"These fellows tailed us rather tightly."

Emperor Chi Mei regarded Saint Heir Ming Xin and the rest with cool indifference.

"Honored guests from distant lands, please enter my Ice Soul Immortal Gate and take a respite."

A Dao-expounding Elder from the Ice Soul Immortal Gate extended the warm invitation.

Snapping out of their daze, Saint Heir Ming Xin and companions sensed potential fortunes lurking within, so they accepted without hesitation, stepping inside to ’exchange courtesies’ with Emperor Chi Mei.

From his concealed spot in a separate void layer, Ye Xuan observed the entire unfolding drama but merely cast a fleeting look before ignoring it entirely.

Fortunes abound for all who dare claim them.

No different for this bunch, though the golden hour to relive ancient glories had struck at the outset.

Their late arrival alongside Saint Heir Ming Xin paled in comparison to what Emperor Chi Mei, Du Qiuzhe, Ning Fu, and Zhang Jingtong reaped.

They even courted the peril of becoming trapped forever.

Such developments left Ye Xuan utterly unconcerned.

His priority remained breaching the Endless Sea via this Great Emperor’s Immortal Sect to claim the Immaculate Duster.

That stood as the core objective.

Though the Immaculate Duster wouldn’t carry the Red Lotus Karma Fire, it would let Ye Xuan forge another Myriad Forms Body infused with Immortal Physique and Origin Power, filling the gap in Emperor Immortal Sect from the prior one.

"Little Qiankun’s power has grown noticeably."

Watching Qiankun Ancestor clash with the Ice Soul Empress, Ye Xuan noted inwardly.

Back in the Dao Chu Ancient Land, Qiankun Ancestor had gone all out against the Golden Vertical Eye—a menace so overwhelming that even Ye Xuan’s Invincible Emperor Soul quaked in fear.

That Golden Vertical Eye’s roots delved into sheer horror.

Circumstances differed now; the Ice Soul Empress wielded Great Emperor might, but Qiankun Ancestor matched her as a Sealing God Level supreme cultivator.

Free from Heavenly Dao’s restraint here, their duel could shatter whole universes with ease.

Luckily, the Ice Soul Empress held back, wary of wrecking her Ice Soul Immortal Gate, opting instead to drag the fight into a parallel void layer, which they reduced to ruins.

No quick resolution loomed for this showdown.

After observing briefly, Ye Xuan’s eyelids fluttered shut then parted.

Golden and black Dao patterns swirled across his irises.

In that instant, reality warped around him.

Strange energies swirled ceaselessly through the air.

Ye Xuan scanned for the pathway into the Endless Sea.

Moments later, a faint grin tugged at Ye Xuan’s mouth as his stare locked onto the gateway under the Ice Soul Immortal Gate’s plaque.

The same gateway that granted entry to the Ice Soul Immortal Gate.

Serving too as the gateway to the Endless Sea.

Reality cloaked over void in perfect deception.

Ye Xuan dropped his concealment, mind focused, and descended right before the gateway.

Mid-’cordial’ talks with Emperor Chi Mei, Saint Heir Ming Xin and the others sensed a presence alight, hearts clenching as they turned to see Ye Xuan materializing, deepening their shock.

"Young Master Ye."

Emperor Chi Mei and Du Qiuzhe hurried over upon Ye Xuan’s reappearance.

"Ning Fu, Zhang Jingtong."

Ignoring the pair, Ye Xuan summoned Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong instead.

"What’s up?" Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong drew near.

"Follow me." Ye Xuan gave no further words, issuing the command before vanishing through the gateway.

A touch of confusion hit Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong initially, surprise flickering as Ye Xuan slipped past the portal.

With their Daoist roots, they keenly felt the anomaly.

No time lost, they trailed after Ye Xuan promptly.

"They left?" Bewilderment washed over Saint Heir Ming Xin and the group, utterly perplexed.

Emperor Chi Mei paused in stunned silence too, but without Young Master Ye’s summons, he held back from pursuing.

By now, Ye Xuan guiding Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong had pierced the portal into a fresh oceanic realm.

No trace of the Ice Soul Immortal Gate lingered behind them.

As Ye Xuan and his two crossed, the Ice Soul Empress—locked in combat with Qiankun Ancestor—erupted in frenzy, as if corrupted, lunging toward Ye Xuan with murderous intent.

Qiankun Ancestor let out a cold huff, flicking his sleeve lightly: "Time to witness real Sealing God Level might."

"Universe in the Sleeve!"
