The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1775 - 1772: Taking the Stage in Full Costume

"There is no Sovereign within the Great Ruins..."

"Then who could it be?"

Ye Xuan mulled it over briefly, yet failed to draw any conclusion.

Unlike the Desolate Realm or Endless Sea, the Great Ruins stands as a complete forbidden area, enduring from the Immortal Ancient Era with locations that shift without cease.

Immortal Treasures' positions alter endlessly as well.

They only learned the Black Candle lay within the Great Ruins.

Such knowledge stemmed from the Jade Scroll.

Yet the Jade Scroll's details could have been intentionally planted by its leaver.

This chance couldn't be dismissed.

Ye Xuan reined in his musings as his Emperor Soul probed the underground treasure's fluctuations.

Could it link to that treasure?

Possibly...

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes faintly.

"I’ve said what needed to be said. Anything else?" Seeing Ye Xuan's silence, the Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman spoke rather rigidly.

Ye Xuan lifted his gaze to the Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman and remarked coolly, "You appear quite eager?"

The Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman let out a cold snort, staying silent.

"Just hold still."

Ye Xuan offered no warmer expression in return.

The Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman clenched her teeth and demanded, "What exactly do you want?"

Yet in that instant, the Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman's eyes sharpened.

More powerhouses had shown up.

It was simple to surmise they must be fellow Reserve Emperors from the Mystic Yellow List.

What irked the Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman most was the lead arrival: Wang Xi of the Desolate God Demon Palace, her bitter rival!

With Wang Xi came Yu Ancestor, Elder Zhang, Elder Ma, Elder Guan, plus ten protectors of the Desolate God Demon Palace.

These same figures had ventured into the Desolate Realm together previously.

"Young Master Ye!"

Desolate God Demon Palace members spotted Ye Xuan and skirted the fearsome beasts to join him.

"Young Master Ye, how long have you been here?"

Wang Xi beamed with delight.

Since their farewell at Desolate God Demon Palace, she'd figured reunion lay distant. Unexpectedly, under two years had passed.

"Oh, isn't that Sister Yun Si?"

Wang Xi noticed the Yuhua Immortal Sect's Mysterious Woman near Ye Xuan and smiled, "Sister Yun Si, long time no see?"

The Mysterious Woman's lovely face chilled, and she snorted coldly without replying to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi's enchanting eyes gleamed as she circled the Mysterious Woman, whispering softly, "Sister Yun Si, has Young Master Ye won you over?"

"Wow, such fortune. Young Master Ye boasts unmatched power as our Xuanhuang Great World's top Reserve Emperor, destined for Great Emperor status. Sister Yun Si, your closeness to him stirs my envy."

Wang Xi kept her words from offending too much, sending them via voice transmission to Yun Si to spare Ye Xuan's ire.

Hearing this, the Mysterious Woman's face paled then reddened, snapping coldly, "Wang Xi, you think everyone's like you, this seductive vixen always scheming to lure men!"

Wang Xi clutched her ample bosom, protesting wronged, "Sister, you're mistaken. Whom have I lured these years?"

As she spoke, Wang Xi eyed Ye Xuan.

Truth be told, she yearned to entice Young Master Ye, but he was wed and showed no interest.

Yun Si caught the trace of sorrow in Wang Xi's gaze and sneered, "I bet you crave seducing Ye Xuan but can't, huh?"

Wang Xi chuckled, admitting freely, "Of course."

Yun Si felt like her blow had struck air, leaving her irritated.

Noting her silence, Wang Xi ceased teasing and drew near Ye Xuan, curtsying deeply, "This servant greets Young Master Ye."

Ye Xuan gave a slight nod.

Though no special liking for Wang Xi gripped Ye Xuan, their Desolate Realm travels kept him from disliking her.

"Young Master Ye, an Immortal Treasure seems poised to emerge here, with others arriving too."

Wang Xi eagerly updated Ye Xuan.

Time trickled by, and Mystic Yellow List prodigies appeared one after another.

Such as Red Flame Divine Sect's Divine Son, still coiled by twin Fire Dragons, radiating majestic aura.

Following the expedition into the Desolate Realm, the Divine Son of Chi Yan's strength had advanced even further, his eyes burning like twin emerging suns, radiating a fearsome presence.

When he spotted Ye Xuan, the Divine Son of Chi Yan seemed a touch reserved, yet he took the initiative to greet him.

The aloof Du Qiuzhe bearing the Divine Sword, along with Emperor Chi Mei sporting tiny Dragon Jade earrings, all showed delighted surprise at the sight of Ye Xuan.

Earlier, after stepping into the Ice Soul Immortal Sect within the Endless Sea, they had parted ways.

Even so, guided by Ye Xuan, they secured remarkable fortunes inside the Ice Soul Immortal Sect.

They had planned to thank Ye Xuan properly if an opportunity arose, never expecting to reunite in the Great Ruins.

Next, the young Xiao Zhenlong, endowed with an Innate Jade Bone and carrying the poise of a Banished Immortal, made his entrance.

Catching sight of Ye Xuan, Xiao Zhenlong's eyes flickered with mixed feelings, though he still offered a cupped-hand salute.

The Ziwei Saint, arriving as though Emperor Ziwei had descended, gave Ye Xuan a faint nod of recognition.

Soon enough, Ye Xuan's young cousin Jiang Ya appeared and latched onto him silently.

As top geniuses from the Mystic Yellow List continued to show up one by one, Hai Dong grasped that this paramount Reserve Emperor on the Mystic Yellow List boasted not just horrifying power but staggering connections too.

Did all these Mystic Yellow List prodigies already know Ye Xuan?

Hai Dong abruptly realized the narrowness of his own insights.

The Loose Cultivation Alliance members and those from the Ruyi Sect felt the exact same way.

At that instant, the Loose Cultivation Alliance folks intensely regretted teaming up with the Yuhua Immortal Sect right upon arrival, electing to keep their distance from Ye Xuan.

Now, eager to draw near Ye Xuan, they discovered no way to squeeze in.

For only celebrated Mystic Yellow List talents surrounded Ye Xuan.

Each supreme prodigy suspended in midair unleashed a crushing aura.

This represented their suppressed condition.

Aware of the abundant savage beasts nearby, they refused to behave rashly.

Standing out among them, a formidable youth cloaked in a suffocating aura floated solo in the sky, dressed in swirling Black Robe, hands folded behind his back, projecting imperial majesty.

No one accompanied him from behind.

Still, this solitary figure alone instilled heart-shaking dread in onlookers.

Fourth-ranked on the Mystic Yellow List—Thousand Absolute Saint Heir.

Originating from the Primordial Hall, he counted among the rare few without the Jiang family name.

Right then, Thousand Absolute Saint Heir stared remotely at Ye Xuan, his face etched with intricate emotions.

In bygone times, everyone knew solely of his duel against Kunlun Saintess Jiang Ye, ignorant of his intense affection for her.

Thousand Absolute Saint Heir had never foreseen that following that fight, Jiang Ye would depart, wed a common local youth, and bear two offspring.

Such a truth crushed Thousand Absolute Saint Heir's heart.

He had covertly hunted and schemed to slay that Ye Mingtian, even plotting to erase those two youngsters.

Yet, owing to sundry factors, all his efforts fell short each time.

In the next instant, Thousand Absolute Saint Heir pulled back his stare, his bearing shifting to icy profundity.
