The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1789 - 1786: Finally Revealed

Although the current scene appears tumultuous, in truth, Ye Xuan has always maintained control over it.

The reason being...

The Emperor Array had long since ensnared everything within its reach.

Be it the Great Ruins Demon Vine's Ancestor Root, the Heavenly Swallowing Toad, the World Tree, or even those prospective Emperors listed on the Mystic Yellow List.

The sole unpredictable element remained that elusive giant, which had never revealed its true form.

This was precisely why Ye Xuan had refrained from intervening.

Beyond this, the evolving circumstances within the Great Ruins also demanded his attention.

The expansive Great Ruins harbored far more than just the Blood Sea, its towering mountains, and the Great Ruins Demon Vine, imbued with Forbidden Power.

For instance, that mysterious entity which abruptly assaulted the Qiankun Ancestor earlier was, in fact, a type of monstrous creature indigenous to the Great Ruins.

Ye Xuan assumed a seated position, cross-legged atop the mountain's summit, his demeanor utterly tranquil.

A gentle zephyr stirred the air.

Tendrils of his hair, resting on his forehead, danced with the breeze.

Ye Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly, his ink-black irises shimmering with an arcane and unfathomable luminescence.

Every meticulously crafted plan necessitates considerable deliberation.

Nevertheless, even more crucial is the capacity for spontaneous adaptation when circumstances demand it.

After all, no individual can precisely foretell the events of the subsequent second.

Not even Ye Xuan, whose strategic foresight spans eons, possesses the ability to maintain absolute dominion over all outcomes.

Were it otherwise, he would have long since confronted the Emperor Burial Lord directly.

Time flowed onward, each second marking its passage.

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul remained steadfastly concentrated on the unfolding events.

The ultimate clash between the Emperor’s decree and the Medicine King Cauldron was drawing to a close.

Yet, the situation devolved into greater disarray, with the Yuhua Immortal Sect becoming the target of an increasing number of assailants.

The standing of the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua experienced a sudden detriment.

paradoxically, the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua grew increasingly composed amidst the turmoil.

While the Dark Invasion temporarily suppressed the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua's ability to wield Mana, it simultaneously allowed her to perceive with clarity the myriad transformations occurring within her own being.

The Dark Immortal Body was poised for its imminent genesis.

Upon its complete manifestation, she would finally attain the true Immortal Body.

At that juncture, she would possess the requisite confidence to confront any adversity.

"Just a little more time..."

"Ye Xuan, please do not arrive yet!"

The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua offered a silent plea from the depths of her heart.

To be entirely candid, Ye Xuan was the individual she most feared.

To this moment, Ye Xuan had yet to make an appearance, leading the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua to feel a persistent sense of unease, as if a venomous serpent lurked just beyond her sight.

She was compelled to maintain constant vigilance, ever watchful for his sudden emergence.

However, with merely a short interval, once the Dark Immortal Body reached its culmination, even Ye Xuan’s arrival would no longer inspire apprehension.

For by then, the ultimate Immortal Treasure would indisputably be hers to claim.

concurrently, the Heavenly Swallowing Toad continued its fierce engagement with the Great Ruins Demon Vine, both vying for dominion over the World Tree.

It was undeniable that this Heavenly Swallowing Toad possessed a remarkable capacity to mask its true strength; it had consistently been underestimated, presumed to possess power comparable to other Fierce Beasts, yet astonishingly, it could contend with the Ancestor Root of the Great Ruins Demon Vine!

This outcome was entirely unanticipated.

Time relentlessly marched forward, second by second.

The prevailing chaos escalated.

Faced with mounting pressure, the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua found herself with no alternative but to dispatch a message to Zhou Ye: "Should you offer your aid, our agreement from years past shall remain valid."

Having maintained a position of non-intervention until this point, Zhou Ye, upon receiving the communication from the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua, responded with a lighthearted chuckle, "You jest, young lady; this humble Taoist is now devoted to a life of spiritual cultivation."

This declaration was not uttered discreetly but proclaimed openly for all to hear.

This caused the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua's silver teeth to clench, a flicker of indignation crossing her features: "You truly are a coward."

Zhou Ye, unfazed, maintained his placid smile, his demeanor indifferent.

Few individuals held knowledge of this.

Decades prior, Zhou Ye and the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua shared a profound connection, a bond so deeply intertwined that the prospect of marriage had been within tangible reach.

Alas, fate intervened, leading the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua to garner the favor of Emperor Mu. She was subsequently brought to the Yuhua Immortal Sect, ascending to the esteemed position of the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua.

Concurrently, Zhou Ye, his heart burdened by sorrow, embarked on a solitary journey to the Earth State. Through a twist of fate, he found himself affiliated with the Immortal Capital Pavilion, embracing the path of a Daoist disciple. Subsequently, he revealed an exceptional aptitude, rapidly ascending the ranks to secure a paramount position on the Mystic Yellow List.

His dominance marked a defining era!

This established order persisted until the arrival of Ye Xuan.

The annals of history now hold few recollections of those past events.

Nevertheless, both Zhou Ye and the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua remain acutely aware of them.

Back then, the pivotal catalyst for that profound upheaval was, without question, the choice made by the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua herself.

It was abundantly clear that the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua had irrevocably made her decision.

In this present moment.

The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua now sought Zhou Ye's protection—a request that seemed, to some extent... rather unreasonable.

A light chuckle escaped Zhou Ye's lips as he heard the rebuff from the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua. He spoke with an indifferent tone, "The past has long since dissipated like smoke. You are the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua, and I am Zhou Ye of the Daoist sect. That is all there is to it."

"Heh."

"I am not a fool."

Zhou Ye then burst into hearty laughter. "Moreover, I have seen visions of the future. My destiny is intertwined with a true destined Emperor, and I must stress—a true destined Emperor, not a true destined Empress. His name is Ye Xuan!"

The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua's countenance grew even darker upon hearing this declaration.

The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua found Zhou Ye's outlandish statement utterly unbelievable.

Enough. She could no longer place her reliance on this individual.

Discarding this line of thought, the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua closed her eyes, appearing to accept her impending fate.

Duan Qingcang, observing Zhou Ye at that moment, inquired with a peculiar look, "You prefer it that way?"

Zhou Ye simply rolled his eyes and retorted, "Is that not permitted? A man dedicated to the Dao must abstain from women, but does that mean he cannot associate with men?"

Far from their location, Ye Xuan perceived Zhou Ye's statement and remained entirely composed, seemingly unaffected.

This young Taoist originating from the Immortal Capital Pavilion was by no means ordinary.

As for the extent of his extraordinary nature?

That pressing question would necessitate an inquiry directed towards the head of the Dao Xuan Sect, Zhou Xuanlin.

At this precise moment, Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed.

"Finally unable to contain yourself, are you?"

Yet, why must it be him?

Ye Xuan's expression shifted, adopting a slightly unusual hue.

Bang!

Almost immediately after Ye Xuan's words concluded, a formidable aura erupted forth.

Without the slightest forewarning.

In a mere instant, it obliterated the precarious balance that had existed between the Medicine King Cauldron and Emperor Mu's decree!

An overwhelming deluge of lightning fractured the sky.

It was as if the Thunder Pond from the Fu Lei Heaven had been instantaneously transported to this very spot.

Bolts of lightning illuminated the scene from every conceivable direction, without cessation.

A colossal figure stood with imposing majesty amidst the tempest of lightning, akin to the very embodiment of thunder itself descending upon the mortal realm.

The sheer might of this terrifying aura compelled every individual present to lower their heads in deference.

"That is..."

The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua was the sole exception, remaining unaffected. Her gaze fixed upon the figure bathed in lightning, her pupils constricting in sheer disbelief.

"Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor!?"

In that very instant.

The being who stood with such commanding presence amidst the cascading lightning possessed eyes that swirled with the intensity of rolling thunder.

Upon apprehending the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua's astonished cry, a faint, knowing smirk graced his lips. "It merely proves that any individual possesses the latent capacity to be molded into a pawn."

"You performed admirably in drawing out the Immortal Treasure."

Despite the superficial praise, these words caused the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua's expression to contort into one of extreme gravity.

The full realization dawned upon her: this entire situation had been meticulously orchestrated by Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor!

And all the intricate machinations invariably led to the Immortal Treasure known as the Black Candle!

She had employed individuals from the Mystic Yellow List to act as lures for the Immortal Treasure, only to discover that Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor had merely utilized her as bait in his own grand scheme.

At this juncture, even formidable experts such as Elder Chu and Zheng Wushan were struck by profound disbelief.

Their certainty stemmed from the widely held belief that Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor had perished, making his sudden reappearance utterly astonishing.

"You are indeed fortunate to bear witness to the emergence of a Great Emperor."

Chi Lei Quasi-Emperor's tone, unable to mask his palpable excitement, conveyed a sense of triumph. He then raised a single finger, causing the Black Candle, which had been held within the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua's grasp, to levitate and soar directly towards him.
