The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1819: 1816: Ancient Battlefield

Southern Sea Immortal Island?

Hearing this voice caused everyone present to be astonished.

Wasn’t the Southern Sea Immortal Island a force from the East Desolate of Daozhou, here to offer aid to the Emperor Immortal Sect? Why would they want to involve themselves in this conflict?

Amidst the contingent from Southern Sea Immortal Island, Elder Zhao Xihai also froze. Zhao Xihai looked towards the ancestor beside him, who appeared as a young girl, momentarily at a loss for words.

The Southern Sea Immortal Island and the Emperor Immortal Sect had never held enmity; this visit was intended to forge an alliance, as they both hailed from the East Desolate. Coming to their aid would allow both parties to cement a bond. When the Emperor Road opened in a few days, the Holy Daughter embarking on it might be placed under Ye Xuan’s protection. However, the current situation had taken a strange turn!

“Ancestor…” Zhao Xihai wanted to speak.

“Be silent.” The young girl clad in blue robes cast a glance at Zhao Xihai and declared indifferently. Zhao Xihai’s countenance paled, yet he dared not utter another word, voicing an apology to Ye Xuan in his heart.

In his judgment, both in public and private matters, it was proper to stand with Ye Xuan. Yet, the ancestor held a different perspective. Alas, there was nothing Zhao Xihai could do.

“Oh, it’s Fairy Zhuo Rou!” Chu Old Demon’s gaze shifted upon hearing the voice, and he spotted the blue-robed girl. He let out a hearty laugh, “After all these years, how do you remain so youthful?”

“Zhuo Rou?” Hong Ba of the Emperor Immortal Sect observed the girl and his brow furrowed. It turned out she was someone from a different era. The girl’s aura was enveloped in mist, and given the pressing circumstances, no one had noticed her presence earlier. Now, upon a single glance, it was recognized as Fairy Zhuo Rou from the Southern Sea of antiquity!

Zhuo Rou offered a slight smile in response to his words, bypassing the crowd entirely. She fixed her eyes on Ye Xuan and softly inquired, “Ye Xuan, although Southern Sea Immortal Island has arrived to assist the Emperor Immortal Sect, we also desire to witness the Immortal Treasures. Since you have established rules, our Southern Sea Immortal Island wishes to take a chance. What is your opinion?”

Zhuo Rou’s declaration resonated with the elders of the Danxia Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sea. “Should the Danxia Sect dare to act, do not blame me for turning hostile,” Tang Siyu, who had been in seclusion refining pills for the Emperor Immortal Sect, emerged and stated coldly.

Behind Tang Siyu stood a formidable beast, the Hugging Mountain Bear! Originally the guardian deity of the Danxia Sect, it later exclusively protected Tang Siyu. Tang Siyu, reincarnated as Bixia Fairy, had served as Ye Xuan’s alchemy maid in her past life. Now returned to Ye Xuan’s side, her actions had inflicted a significant blow to the Danxia Sect.

With Tang Siyu’s gentle rebuke, the faces of the Danxia Sect members turned a sickly mix of blue and white. Ultimately, they found themselves unable to act, caught in a predicament. Harboring killing intent and resentment within their hearts, they viewed Tang Siyu as an ungrateful individual. They had nurtured her for years, even assigning the guardian god, the Hugging Mountain Bear, to watch over her, and this was the outcome? Turning their backs on their benefactors!

In reality, the Hugging Mountain Bear had willingly followed Tang Siyu. Tang Siyu’s actions, while seemingly intimidating, were actually a form of salvation for them. Others might not grasp Ye Xuan’s true capabilities, but Tang Siyu was acutely aware. Throughout the annals of history, Emperor Ye was an immortal myth!

“Master, I have arrived!” Tang Siyu glided towards Ye Xuan. However, upon noticing Zhou Youwei, she did not approach too closely. Ye Xuan offered a slight nod, his gaze settling upon Zhuo Rou, his brow arching faintly. To be candid, the intervention of Southern Sea Immortal Island had caught him somewhat by surprise. After all, Southern Sea Immortal Island had considerable ties to him.

Yet, it was also true that no one within Southern Sea Immortal Island retained knowledge of these connections anymore. Any Great Emperor Immortal Sect was bound to possess radical factions seeking to instigate trouble. It was a predictable turn of events.

“What treasure can you offer?” Ye Xuan inquired calmly.

“I heard the Emperor Immortal Sect is nurturing dragons. Our Southern Sea Immortal Island possesses the unique Dragon Spring from the Xuanhuang Great World. I wonder if it might please Ye Xuan?” Zhuo Rou smiled faintly. Having existed for over a million years, she still retained a youthful appearance, radiant and captivating.

“Dragon Spring!?” Her words caused the expressions of everyone present to shift dramatically. Particularly True Person Fan Hai from Hua Tian Prefecture in Earth State, whose eyes narrowed into slits as he contemplated deeply. Little did others know, Hua Tian Prefecture was also raising a Blood Dragon, one that sustained itself on human blood. It had been tended to by Hua Tian Prefecture for many years, but due to the absence of Dragon Spring, the Blood Dragon’s progress had stagnated.

Frankly, he coveted the Dragon Spring. Yet, this was hardly the opportune moment. Once the Emperor Road fully unfurled, he might seize the chance to request a portion from Southern Sea Immortal Island.

“Very well.”

As True Person Fan Hai remained in contemplation, Ye Xuan readily accepted the offer.

None of those present could possibly present an item of greater value than the Dragon Spring.

Unless, of course, it was a Great Emperor Immortal Weapon.

But who would actually bring such an artifact into play?

Even the most ancient Great Emperor Immortal Sects possessed but a handful of such treasures, and even if brought forth, they would only secure a chance for a battle against Ye Xuan, not a guaranteed acquisition of Immortal Treasures.

It would be a futile endeavor, hardly worth the exertion.

Ye Xuan proceeded to gather all the offered treasures.

If his sister, Ye Ling’er, were to witness this, her joy would undoubtedly be immense.

Even before the commencement of the actual battle, he was already amassing considerable spoils.

“Fairy Zhuo Rou, do try not to bully the younger generation.”

Chu Old Demon quipped with a cynical tone.

“If you cannot produce a treasure that meets my satisfaction, then kindly hold your tongue,” Zhuo Rou retorted sharply and indifferently.

“Bah!” Chu Old Demon scoffed, making a dismissive gesture, his expression filled with utter disdain.

“Senior, is this acceptable?”

Hong Ba of the Emperor Immortal Sect inquired with a touch of apprehension, secretly conveying his thoughts to Ye Xuan.

Upon receiving Ye Xuan’s affirmation, Hong Ba’s tension eased, and he made a grand sweeping motion with his hand.

Boom ————

In the subsequent moment, emanating from within the Emperor Immortal Sect, a segment of soil no larger than a palm emerged.

With a flick of his finger, Hong Ba caused this palm-sized piece of soil to unfurl across the ground, meticulously forming an ancient battlefield.

The entirety of this battlefield radiated a palpable aura of somber, ominous killing intent.

Upon the battlefield’s surface, one could discern the presence of countless mottled bloodstains, long since solidified, bearing the marks of countless ages.

“This is the Eternal Battlefield, a relic left by our Sect’s founder, Emperor Lie Tian. It is robust enough to withstand the presence of even a Great Emperor. Since Dao Friend Zhuo Rou desires a contest, pray step onto the battlefield,” Hong Ba declared with a cold demeanor.

“Indeed, the rumors hold true; this Eternal Battlefield still endures.”

Chu Old Demon, Xu Chunlei, True Person Fan Hai, and the others exchanged hushed whispers amongst themselves.

Such ancient battlefields were a common sight during the bygone Emperor Era.

In that epoch, mighty cultivators were abundant, and Great Emperors arose frequently.

Emperor Battles were the monumental clashes that occurred between Great Emperors.

Engagements of this magnitude, once initiated, possessed the power to unleash cataclysmic destruction, beyond the capacity of even a Great World to endure.

It was conceivable that a conflict between two Great Emperors could result in the utter annihilation of a Great World.

This very reason underscored the creation of these ancient battlefields, specifically designed to contain and withstand such devastating confrontations.

Certain venerable ancient factions discreetly housed these battlefields within the confines of their Sects.

However, in generations that followed, their use became exceedingly rare.

Following the conclusion of the Emperor Era, Emperor Battles ceased to occur.

Subsequently, throughout the successive eras, it was typically the case that no second Great Emperor would emerge, thus precluding any further Emperor Battles.
