The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1851 - 1848: Father and Mother’s Origins
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"Dad, are you aware of the Black Sky Clan and the Guming Clan?"
Ye Xuan’s mother was already gone, and he turned to his father, asking gently.
Hearing this, Ye Mingtian’s expression became serious. He set down his fishing rod, looking at Ye Xuan with a profound look: "It seems you have also received some news, Xiao Xuan."
"Oh?" Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed.
Ye Mingtian continued, "A long time ago, after a dream-like experience that spanned millennia, I foresaw a future cataclysm. I also suspected that a contingency from the Dou Tian Divine Domain would surely be present within our realm."
"Therefore, over the years, I’ve been actively investigating certain obscure entities."
"These entities include the Black Sky Clan and the Guming Clan."
Ye Mingtian’s countenance grew grim: "Regarding these two factions, I haven't been able to confirm their connection to the Dou Tian Divine Domain. However, with the appearance of the Emperor Road in that domain, we must proceed with extreme caution."
Ye Xuan gave a slight nod. "Caution is indeed warranted. Do you possess significant knowledge about the Black Sky Clan and the Guming Clan?"
Ye Mingtian shook his head. "Not extensive. In the period when your Life Soul journeyed, I managed to uncover only a few fragments of information, with the aid of the Xuan Sect's influence."
"Xiao Xuan, do you have any familiarity with these two clans?"
Ye Mingtian gazed at Ye Xuan, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Ye Xuan replied, shaking his head, "My familiarity isn't deep, but I am aware that the capabilities and innate talents of these two clans rank among the very highest in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, possibly even surpassing all others."
"Even the True Dragons, renowned for their peerless bloodlines, cannot compete with them."
Ye Mingtian’s eyes narrowed further, his expression deepening with concern. "If that is the case, any discord arising from these two powers would undoubtedly plunge the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds into utter chaos."
Ye Xuan concurred with a nod. "From my understanding, these two races harbor immense ambitions, and turmoil is an inevitable outcome. However, this is likely to occur only after the Emperor Road fully manifests or when the Heavenly Dao Suppression is completely dissolved."
Ye Mingtian also nodded subtly, his thoughts aligning with Ye Xuan’s assessment.
"Xiao Xuan, what are your intentions moving forward?"
Ye Mingtian inquired earnestly of his son.
Upon hearing the question, Ye Xuan offered a gentle smile, his gaze fixed on the tranquil lake before them. He responded with apparent ease, "Naturally, I shall await the arrival of the larger prey."
Witnessing this, Ye Mingtian let out a hearty laugh and gave Ye Xuan a thumbs-up. "My son is truly peerless; there is nothing more that needs to be said."
Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a touch of exasperation.
The father and son engaged in extensive conversation, touching upon various subjects, including the impending conflict between the Dou Tian Divine Domain and the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Ye Xuan felt no reservation in sharing most of what he knew with his father.
He could perceive that his father also harbored considerable strategic plans, with that particular confrontation as their focal point.
To be candid, Ye Xuan harbored a subtle suspicion that his father’s origins were exceptionally extraordinary.
It echoed what White Impermanence had once alluded to: the individuals in his proximity were far from ordinary.
In the distance, Jiang Ye, clad in pristine white, observed the father and son conversing, her lovely eyes reflecting a deep tenderness.
She was aware of her husband, Ye Mingtian’s, uncommon lineage; she understood the profound and arduous trials her son, Ye Xuan, had endured; and she recognized the immense blessings her daughter, Ye Ling’er, possessed.
In comparison, she, the former Saintess of Kunlun, seemed rather unremarkable.
And yet, that was not entirely the case.
She, too, held her own secrets.
Her perception extended further and deeper than her husband, Ye Mingtian’s, allowing her to grasp certain concealed truths.
These insights were acquired during her solitary confinement within the Eternal Cage for over a decade.
Consequently, her appreciation for the present moment was even more profound.
She cherished her children with an fierce love and adored her husband deeply.
However, some truths of existence remained immutable.
Jiang Ye withdrew her gaze and returned her attention to preparing the Three Fragrance dish. Upon its completion, she personally delivered it to the father and son.
Neither of them seemed to notice Jiang Ye’s subtle change in demeanor.
Yet, as Jiang Ye began to depart, Ye Xuan sensed something profound and turned to look at her retreating figure, experiencing an inexplicable pang of emotion.
Acting on pure instinct, Ye Xuan called out.
"Mom!"
Ye Mingtian appeared bewildered by his son’s sudden exclamation, the delicious Three Fragrance still in his mouth. He pondered the reason behind it – the dish was indeed quite flavorful.
Jiang Ye, on the other hand, showed a flicker of surprise before turning to face Ye Xuan, her eyes brimming with affection. "Xiao Xuan, eat while it’s hot."
Suppressing the wave of wistfulness within his heart, Ye Xuan softly replied, "Oh," and returned his focus to the meal. Internally, he was silently directing a query to Bai Ze: "Can you ascertain my parents' true origins?"
Within Ye Xuan’s spiritual sea, a captivating woman in white, her hair like pure snow and her eyes entirely white, offered a slight nod in affirmation. "I perceive it, but I cannot articulate its nature."
In that instant, Ye Xuan grasped the situation completely.
A genuine, joyful laugh escaped Ye Xuan at this moment.
Whenever he neared home, that persistent melancholy would vanish with his smile.
"Silly son, what’s so amusing?"
Ye Mingtian, who had been lost in contemplation while savoring the Three Fragrance, found Ye Xuan's sudden laughter quite perplexing.
"Dad, look after Mom carefully. Ensure she doesn’t get hurt, alright?"
Ye Xuan turned to face Ye Mingtian, his smile receding as he spoke with utmost sincerity.
Ye Mingtian chuckled and responded nonchalantly, "You brat, what kind of strange talk is that? Do you think I need you to tell me?"
"If anyone even thinks of bullying your mother, I will tear them limb from limb; otherwise, I wouldn’t be Ye Mingtian."
His imposing aura shot towards the heavens.
At that very moment, it felt as though the entirety of the Daozhou Land quaked violently!
Ye Xuan chuckled, "Did you forget about that fellow from the Kunlun Ruins?"
Ye Mingtian's imposing momentum instantly vanished. He slumped back in his chair, weakly admitting, "What am I to do? Your mother forbids it. Besides, that fellow is at least your mother's Master. If I truly dared to harm him, your mother would turn around and dismantle me."
However, Ye Mingtian soon chuckled again, "Marrying your mother in this lifetime is the greatest source of pride for me as your dad."
"When I consider it, I should really offer my thanks to that old geezer."
With a sense of comfort, Ye Mingtian looked at Ye Xuan and said, "By the way, Youwei is a wonderful girl. You’d better not mistreat her, boy."
Ye Xuan offered a silent smile.
In the ensuing days, Ye Xuan dedicated his time to the Ye Family within Wan’an City.
At the Emperor Immortal Sect, his Myriad Forms Body, integrated with the Void Immortal Body, remained stationed.
Furthermore, an additional six Myriad Forms Bodies were dispatched to various locations according to Ye Xuan's directives.
These included the Supreme Pavilion, the Immortal Crossing Sect, the Kunlun Ruins, and the Desolate God Demon Palace, among others.
Time flowed onward, day by day.
As the Emperor Immortal Sect reestablished its divine might, the entire Xuanhuang Great World entered a period of unparalleled peace; all strife seemed to evaporate during this time.
Of course, this tranquility primarily benefited the foremost powers within the Cultivation World.
In contrast, the Supreme Doctrines and Immortal legacies remained as they were, largely unaffected.
The Emperor Road had opened.
For the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, this was undoubtedly a monumental event. Yet, for the vast majority of cultivators in the Cultivation World, it remained little more than a legend.
After all.
The minimal requirement to tread the Emperor Road was to attain the Great Sage Realm.
Let alone the Great Sage Realm; in this world, individuals capable of ascending to become Immortals or achieving Supremacy were exceptionally rare, peerless existences.
And those who reached the Great Sage Realm were truly figures of legend.
Under normal circumstances, within the martial world, they were akin to True Dragons—their names were known, but their presence was never witnessed.
