The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1757 - 1754: Divine Bridge Forms on Its Own
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
A mysterious force appears to protect Qingqiu Mountain, striking at anyone who dares to draw near.
At this moment, Ye Xuan along with his two companions charges toward Qingqiu Mountain, and to onlookers, they look determined to crash headlong into disaster.
Earlier, countless individuals got pushed back by that strange energy from Qingqiu Mountain, but these three still plunge ahead without hesitation—utterly reckless!
Boom!
True enough, as Ye Xuan and the pair neared Qingqiu Mountain, that same force locked onto them too.
Serious looks crossed the faces of Qiankun Ancestor and Tong Wuji.
Yet Ye Xuan stayed utterly composed, as always.
"You can’t get in."
Nearby, a Great Sage Realm elder shook his head while speaking.
This energy feels far too strange; approaching it proves impossible.
It might well be some sort of Forbidden Power.
Ye Xuan ignored the elder completely, fixing his eyes on Qingqiu Mountain before him and reciting an ancient incantation.
Suddenly, the locking force vanished, and a brilliant Divine Rainbow shot out from Qingqiu Mountain's depths, forming a majestic Divine Bridge that reached right to Ye Xuan’s feet.
"What?!"
The elder who'd claimed entry impossible gaped in shock.
How could this be happening?
Those mighty experts repelled before now watched the spectacle in stunned amazement.
This dramatic event quickly drew more powerhouses, who soared closer hoping to slip inside.
"Are you insane? That’s Ye Xuan—do you really want to snatch his chance?"
But a voice identified Ye Xuan and cautioned the crowd.
Across the Xuanhuang Great World today, everyone knows Ye Xuan’s name without question.
Topping the Mystic Yellow List, he previously cut down Zi Yang Heavenly Monarch amid the ruins of Daozhou’s Purple Sun Ancient Sect, then later took out Evergreen Saint Heir of the Evergreen Immortal Sect within the Desolate Realm.
Just recently, in Heavenly State’s Fu Lei Heaven, he crushed Reserve Emperor Wang Teng, who holds a top-ten spot on the Mystic Yellow List.
Xuanhuang Great World’s genius powerhouses crumble like mere dolls before Ye Xuan, falling with ease.
In private whispers, many call Ye Xuan the mightiest Reserve Emperor.
Once the Emperor Road opens, Ye Xuan is bound to lead the pack.
His sole weakness might lie in his origins.
Supporting him stand only the Emperor Immortal Sect and Eternal Mountain Ye Family.
Though both trace back to Great Emperor legacies, neither the Emperor Immortal Sect nor Eternal Mountain Ye Family shines at full strength these days.
Compared to others, Eternal Mountain Ye Family boasts a solid base, yet it lags far behind the Xuanhuang Great World’s Nine States supreme powers.
The Emperor Immortal Sect barely registers.
Yet lately, rumors surfaced that Cangqiong Pavilion’s Pavilion Master Ye Mingtian is actually Ye Xuan’s father.
Some claim Kunlun Saintess Jiang Ye of Kunlun Ruins serves as his mother.
Should these hold true, Ye Xuan’s backing turns terrifying indeed.
For Kunlun Saintess’s kin commands awe, encompassing Kunlun Ruins, Primordial Hall, and Longevity Family Jiang Family.
In the Xuanhuang Great World, these three timeless lineages loom like unassailable peaks!
Moreover, Ye Mingtian, beyond leading Cangqiong Pavilion, originates from the Xuan Sect.
That fact alone shocks deeply.
Plenty of attending powerhouses hail from Nine States elite factions, so they grasp these hidden truths well.
Thus, learning it was Ye Xuan, none risked bold moves.
"Ye, my young friend, might you allow us to accompany you?"
Too timid to push through, but eager to gain favor.
As expected, Hong State’s Sacred Land voiced it first.
Others inwardly scorned: Hong State Sacred Land folks prove so thick-skinned, begging entry despite zero ties to Ye Xuan.
Utterly shameless.
Ye Xuan paid no heed to such types, striding straight for Qingqiu Mountain.
Qiankun Ancestor shot a sideways glance at the Hong State Sacred Land figure, drawling, "Even your ancestor wouldn’t dare speak those words, so get lost."
The Hong State Sacred Land man flared up instantly: "If you won’t allow it, there’s no need to be hurtful!"
Qiankun Ancestor sneered, "If I meant to harm you, would you still be yapping here?"
Tong Wuji acted bolder, gripping his blade at the ready.
Once drawn, the Black Sky Blade thirsts for blood.
Fortunately, Hong State Sacred Land folks dropped their drivel, or death would have claimed them right there.
"Young friend Ye Xuan, name a price. We wish to ascend this mountain too."
Hong State Sacred Land’s lead sparked other sects and sacred lands to turn polite, dangling bribes for Qingqiu Mountain access.
Regrettably, Ye Xuan dismissed every offer.
"Isn't this brat overly cocky? Does he have no fear of us teaming up to slay him on the spot?"
Witnessing Ye Xuan's demeanor, numerous powerhouses secretly brewed killing intent.
All of them had risen to fame nine thousand years prior—how could they tolerate being dismissed by some young upstart?
Yet, no one dared to make a move in the end.
They feared Ye Xuan's power first and foremost, then dreaded Ye Mingtian and Jiang Ye standing behind him.
Moreover, most elites from the sects had ventured into the Great Ruins, with just a handful left to watch over things. A single wrong step here could spell disaster beyond imagination.
Not even the Yuhua Immortal Sect, ruler of Xuanzhou, chose to intervene.
In moments, Ye Xuan along with the other two ascended the Divine Bridge, traversing realms as if stepping into another world.
At a pivotal juncture, glancing backward revealed no trace of the outer palaces—only boundless skies stretched out.
Qingqiu Mountain now loomed enormous, expanded a millionfold, resembling an primordial Great World.
As they delved inside, boundless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi enveloped them completely.
"The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi here is this dense? Even the Xuanhuang Great World nine thousand years ago, free from Heavenly Dao Suppression, boasted scarce cultivation holy sites that could rival it," Tong Wuji gasped in astonishment.
Qiankun Ancestor scanned the area, murmuring deliberately, "True enough, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi of Qingqiu Mountain matches that of the Heavenly Domain."
Tong Wuji stared in shock: "Qingqiu Mountain? This is the legendary Qingqiu Mountain?"
Even this Black Blade Sect cultivator stood dumbfounded.
Tales of Qingqiu Mountain had filled his childhood stories.
Myths claimed it as the home of Fox Immortals in remote outer domains, forever veiled in Immortal Fog, unreachable by mortals.
Those Fox Immortals—strikingly handsome males and breathtaking females—possessed cultivation aptitudes that sparked universal envy.
"Emperor Ye, are there truly Fox Immortals dwelling here?" Tong Wuji inquired with bubbling excitement.
Ye Xuan glanced at Tong Wuji with a grin, "What's this? Dreaming of claiming a Fox Immortal as your wife?"
Tong Wuji's cheeks flushed crimson; his already straightforward and naive look intensified. He muttered softly, "If the chance arose, I wouldn't refuse."
Ye Xuan burst into booming laughter.
Qiankun Ancestor rolled his eyes at Tong Wuji in exasperation, snapping, "Take a look in the mirror—which Fox Immortal would spare you a glance?"
