The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1750 - 1747: The Secret of the Nine Forbidden Zones

Amid the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang, there might truly be zero links right from the outset!

No, no, no!

Such a thing is completely unthinkable—no ties at all?

From Ye Xuan's understanding, every one of the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang holds a suppressed sovereign, tasked secretly with sealing away the remnants from the Dou Tian Divine Domain of that ancient conflict.

For example, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix in Death Netherworld, the Rakshasa Divine King in the Desolate Realm, and the Yang Demon within the Endless Sea.

All these entities hail from the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

This fact reveals that the sovereigns ruling the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang are, in truth, ancient powerhouses who fought in that very war.

How could they possibly be strangers to one another?

Ye Xuan furrowed his brow intensely.

No, that's off the mark!

Perhaps it's simply because he remains unaware of the Desolate Realm Sovereign's identity; once named aloud, the Endless Sea Sovereign might recognize it instantly.

With this realization, Ye Xuan eased his furrowed brows and inquired, "Then, what purpose do the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang truly serve?"

Hearing this, the Endless Sea Sovereign creased his forehead and replied, "Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang?"

Ye Xuan massaged his temples, explaining with a hint of exasperation, "The Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang represent today's nine perilous zones in the Xuanhuang Great World, encompassing the Endless Sea, Dao Chu Ancient Land, Death Netherworld, Desolate Realm, and more."

Ye Xuan detailed each of the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang to the Endless Sea Sovereign.

A flash of comprehension crossed the Endless Sea Sovereign's face: "Ah, now I see."

Ye Xuan's look turned odd: "Don't say you've slumbered here ever since that ancient war?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign affirmed with a nod: "Essentially, that's correct. Had the Yang Demon not attempted escape this time, I would never have awakened."

Ye Xuan let out a sigh, sensing these beings treated matters too lightly.

Yet, on second thought, it made perfect sense.

Deep down, they all carry the weight of that past battle. When the next great clash erupts, they must charge into the fray.

Should they have emerged openly, death would have claimed them ages ago.

After all, the current era pales against the Immortal Ancient Era; not even an Immortal King could endure forever.

Take Luo Chen Immortal King Wu Muchen—he too resorted to reincarnation just to cling to existence.

The Endless Sea Sovereign likely relies on slumber within this Immortal Mansion to preserve his might.

On this matter, Ye Xuan held back from probing further.

No point in questioning such secrets.

"From what you've shared, I grasp it now—the Desolate Realm Sovereign you referenced could be the overlord of some ancient burial ground from the Immortal Ancient Realm's era."

Now familiar with the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang, the Endless Sea Sovereign clarified for Ye Xuan: "Truth be told, the so-called Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang probably share no bonds between them."

"Moreover, let me reveal the roots of Dao Chu Ancient Land; it predates even the Immortal Ancient Era."

"Black Abyss, Thunder Pond, and Great Ruins—these three forbidden zones were already present in the Immortal Ancient Era."

"Death Netherworld merely stands as the old domain of the Master of Netherworld."

"The Endless Sea formed from an ancient universe of the Ancient Immortal Realm, where I stood guard long ago."

"Qingming Cave marks the former abode of the Qingming Immortal King from that time."

"As for Inverted Sky, it escapes my knowledge."

Detailing the origins of the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang, the Endless Sea Sovereign concluded: "Thus, they essentially stand isolated from one another."

Ye Xuan took this revelation in stride, unsurprised.

The laws governing the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang clash with those of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Various Forbidden Lands may vary, but their mismatch with this realm points to a single truth: origins apart.

Ye Xuan had long suspected the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang predated the Xuanhuang Great World.

The Endless Sea Sovereign's account now validated that hunch.

The Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang predated the Xuanhuang Great World's very formation.

This accounts for why the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons hold no sway over their transformations.

Nevertheless, shifts across the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang unfold in unison.

That's the core enigma.

Ye Xuan relayed this puzzle to the Endless Sea Sovereign.

Unfazed upon hearing it, the Endless Sea Sovereign responded calmly, "It's due to their shared need to restore immortal power."

"You've likely surmised it—the immortal power in my Immortal Mansion steadily drains; exhaustion means eternal slumber for me, so the Endless Sea must also draw in fresh immortal power."

Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed at these words: "Thus, this bears no link to the Dou Tian Divine Domain?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign hesitated: "Why raise this point?"

This time around, Ye Xuan held nothing back, revealing all he knew about the Evil God Sect and the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons to the Endless Sea Sovereign.

Upon absorbing it, murderous intent flickered in the Endless Sea Sovereign's gaze: "Those scum arrived quicker than expected!"

Catching that reaction, Ye Xuan cracked his neck and remarked offhandedly, "Looks like no real ties exist here after all."

Yet the Endless Sea Sovereign countered sharply, "Wrong! Don't assume every survivor from back then stands with you."

Ye Xuan arched a brow: "So, traitors lurk within?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign confirmed with a nod: "Precisely."

Ye Xuan fell quiet briefly; this outcome hardly shocked him.

Given the Ancient Immortal Realm's inferiority to the Dou Tian Divine Domain, betrayal was inevitable for some.

Gazing steadily at the Endless Sea Sovereign, Ye Xuan asked gravely: "Final query—what parts do Old Ghost Liu Tree and the Emperor Burial Lord play?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign parted his lips but held his tongue, merely sighing: "You've uttered their true names already; what more can I add?"

Stunned momentarily, Ye Xuan realized—these were their actual names?

He'd dismissed them as mere aliases.

"I cannot disclose now; return to the Endless Sea when the moment arrives, and I'll enlighten you."

Proving equitable, the Endless Sea Sovereign offered Ye Xuan a path forward: "Ideally, after Heavenly Dao Suppression lifts."

Ye Xuan mulled it over briefly and agreed: "Got it."

Heavenly Dao Suppression's end loomed at most five or six years away.

In fact, the Emperor Road might soon manifest as well.

Typically, Emperor Road emerges post-Heavenly Dao Suppression, yet heavenly mechanisms appear reversed somehow.

"Farewell, then—no send-off needed."

The Endless Sea Sovereign let Ye Xuan depart, compelled now to swiftly restore immortal power and bind the Yang Demon anew.

Ye Xuan rose, bid adieu, and exited the Immortal Mansion.

Post-departure from the Immortal Mansion, he traversed various small worlds, sensing their aura.

Only here could one glimpse echoes of the Ancient Immortal Realm's former glory.

Back then, it surely eclipsed All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Ye Xuan murmured inwardly.

Shortly after, Ye Xuan departed.

Mission accomplished—no reason to linger.

This Endless Sea venture stretched far beyond Ye Xuan's projections.

Heavenly Dao Suppression's pursuit had pinned him in the Endless Sea for nearly a year.

Logically, the Sea Abyss of the Endless Sea ought to have vanished by now.

His way back lay solely through the Endless Sea.
