The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1814 - 1811: Winds and Clouds Surging

The Qiankun Ancestor returned to Ye Xuan's side, reverting to its true form before settling into Ye Xuan's palm. The young girl in black also transformed into the God-beating Stone and found a place in Ye Xuan’s arms. Ye Xuan's Emperor Soul then ventured inside the Qiankun Pot, unleashing its power in concert with the Qiankun Ancestor to summon forth the World Tree.

With a resounding boom, the starry expanse above the Xuan Sect’s Sky Dome ignited with brilliant light. An immense wave of World Power surged outwards at that moment. However, almost immediately, a peculiar force materialized, centering on Ye Xuan and effectively containing that power within the bounds of Qianqiu land, preventing its outward spread. This was the intrinsic power of Qianqiu land itself, which swiftly gathered all the World Tree’s World Power, ensuring none escaped.

Despite this containment, the inhabitants of the Xuan Sect perceived the colossal World Power at the very first instant. They correctly surmised that Ye Xuan was actively engaged in the Sacrificial Refinement of the World Tree. The Xuan Ancestor, much like everyone else in the Xuan Sect, couldn't help but be overcome with envy. The World Tree was, after all, a legendary artifact of immense value. To acquire even a single leaf was considered an extraordinary stroke of luck. In contrast, Ye Xuan was in possession of the entire World Tree, a feat almost unimaginable.

Concurrently, in the distant Daozhou, Ye Xuan's Myriad Forms Body maintained its vigil at the Emperor Immortal Sect. Hai Dong and Cheng Kes had already arrived at the sect. The Emperor Immortal Sect was currently radiating exceptional vitality. Ever since Ye Xuan procured the 'Azure Dragon' from the Supreme Pavilion, the sect's fortune had begun an unstoppable ascent, growing at an astonishing rate. This burgeoning fortune had significantly aided all the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Furthermore, with the return of Hong Ba and the other Elders from the Heavenly Domain, the Emperor Immortal Sect had successfully reasserted its supreme status within the East Desolate. Any factions that had previously dared to harbor ill intentions had now been silenced. The sect was flourishing in every aspect. This stability, of course, was also greatly attributed to Ye Xuan's presence. Without Ye Xuan overseeing the Emperor Immortal Sect, it was likely that unrest would have persisted, especially considering the potential presence of hidden traitors among those who descended from the Heavenly Domain.

Earlier, Ye Xuan had instructed Hong Ba to issue a decree: individuals arriving from the Heavenly Domain were forbidden from interfering in the internal affairs of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Currently, the administration of the Emperor Immortal Sect remained firmly in the hands of Ye Xuan's father-in-law, Zhou Zihuang. Zhou Zihuang had recently achieved a breakthrough into the Great Venerate Realm, making him, aside from Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, the individual with the most prodigious talent within the entire Emperor Immortal Sect. Moreover, Zhou Zihuang had successfully cultivated the complete 'Emperor Dao,' a feat that inspired considerable awe.

Ye Xuan's Myriad Forms Body was equally diligent, not remaining idle during its stay at the Emperor Immortal Sect. It continuously engaged in cultivation, making the most of its time. Three days had now elapsed since the closing of the Great Ruins.

On this particular day, the Floating Mountain in Daozhou began to tremble. The reason for this phenomenon was the convergence of top Overlords from each state, all descending upon Daozhou with the Emperor Immortal Sect as their destination. As the Guardian God of Daozhou, its responsibilities extended beyond suppressing the Evil Dragon; it also entailed safeguarding Daozhou from unforeseen incidents. When experts from other states entered Daozhou, they were obligated to pass through the Floating Mountain, the domain of the Daozhou Guardian God. This was an established protocol among the Nine States.

Similarly, when Daozhou's Overlords traveled to other states, they also had to obtain clearance from the respective Guardian Gods. It was understood that solitary cultivators did not require formal declarations, but when the Guardian Gods of each state detected their presence, they would dispatch individuals to document their passage.

“What!? So many individuals?!” When Ji Ziqing, the Saint Master of Floating Mountain, received intelligence that the Overlords from the other Eight States had all arrived at Floating Mountain, a shiver ran down her spine. “Yes, Saint Master, all these esteemed figures are heading towards Zhongxuan Mountain in the East Desolate!” the Floating Mountain disciple reporting the news stated respectfully.

“Zhongxuan Mountain?” Ji Ziqing’s slender eyes narrowed. She immediately understood the situation: “These people are all coming for Young Master Ye. I hadn't anticipated their arrival so swiftly. The Emperor Road of the Three Thousand Great Worlds hasn't even manifested, yet they are already unable to contain their eagerness…” Contemplating this, Ji Ziqing gestured for the disciple to withdraw. “Inform them that I will arrive once I have concluded my current affairs.” “I shall carry out the Saint Master’s command without fail.”

The disciple acknowledged the command and departed from the grand hall.

The hall was now vacant.

Ji Ziqing uttered softly, "Chen Fei."

In the following instant, ripples traversed the Void, and a young man clad in crimson robes materialized from thin air.

This young man possessed an imposing and heroic demeanor, his physique tall and robust.

Standing there, he resembled an unyielding, incorruptible Divine Spear.

"My Lady."

Chen Fei spoke with utmost respect.

Ji Ziqing’s countenance was serious. Gazing at her trusted subordinate, she instructed in a low tone, "Proceed immediately to Zhongxuan Mountain. Seek out Young Master Ye and apprise him of today's events."

"Understood."

Chen Fei assented, yet as he turned to take two steps, he paused once more and quietly inquired, "My Lady, do you truly intend to proceed with this?"

Ji Ziqing’s willow-like brows knitted together: "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Fei let out a sigh: "All of those powerful figures are ancient beings, long renowned throughout Xuanhuang. If I venture to Zhongxuan Mountain this time, their attention will undoubtedly be drawn. In such a scenario, I fear they will all harbor ill feelings towards Floating Mountain, and particularly towards you, My Lady."

Ji Ziqing’s slender eyes narrowed, and she let out a cold snort, "So what? This is Floating Mountain."

Chen Fei’s gaze deepened: "Is it truly worth it...?"

Ji Ziqing observed Chen Fei's retreating back before suddenly flashing a sweet smile and declaring, "It is worth every bit!"

Chen Fei’s eyes regained their composure: "I understand."

Without further delay, he departed with resolute steps.

He was well aware that, in his lady's heart, Young Master Ye occupied a position of supreme importance.

Even surpassing her own significance.

Perhaps, in his lady's estimation, incurring the displeasure of those ancient presences for the sake of Young Master Ye was a trivial matter.

However, he did not share this perspective.

Nevertheless, his loyalty to his lady remained unwavering, and thus, he would still execute her commands precisely.

Chen Fei departed from Floating Mountain, alone and unnoticed, heading directly towards Zhongxuan Mountain in the Eastern Desolation.

Meanwhile, all of these actions were observed by those formidable experts who had ascended Floating Mountain.

This particular occasion saw the arrival of over thirty distinct forces at Floating Mountain.

The combined number of these experts surpassed two hundred individuals.

Among them, the most feeble cultivator was already at the Great Venerate Realm.

Such a terrifying collective might, were it to appear in any other Great World, would represent a paramount power.

Their mere presence would ordinarily elicit widespread fear and trepidation.

"It appears that Xuanhuang's most esteemed potential Emperor shares a rather peculiar connection with Daozhou's Floating Mountain," remarked an Elder from the Liu Family of Hong State, his long beard gently stroked as he offered a faint smile.

"It matters not. We shall simply extend an early welcome to Young Master Ye," stated the Supreme Elder of the Blood Demon Sky Sect with indifference.

Those in attendance represented the thirty-odd factions hailing from the other Eight States.

Even if they did not hold the status of Great Emperor Immortal Sects, they were, at the very least, Dao lineages of Quasi-Emperor caliber.

During their zenith, each had once experienced periods of brilliant glory within the Xuanhuang Great World.

Furthermore, these visitors were all acquainted with one another.

Even if they hadn't personally met, they were certainly aware of each other's formidable reputations.

At this juncture, all guests were accommodated within the reception hall of Floating Mountain.

The seating arrangements were determined by the order of their arrival. As the first to arrive was an ancient cultivator from the Primordial Hall of Hong State, no contention arose regarding precedence.

Ultimately, within the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World, the Primordial Hall stood as an undisputed, preeminent Overlord.

Had it been any other entity, some degree of dispute might have surfaced.

However, such a situation would never materialize when dealing with the Primordial Hall.
