The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1852 - 1849: The Advent of the Emperor Road

The Emperor Road's opening is imminent.

For cultivators at the Great Sage Realm and above, this event signifies the most significant convergence in existence!

Entrance to this grand gathering is not by invitation; reaching the requisite cultivation level is the only prerequisite for attendance.

Even those who have previously ventured the Emperor Road and not yet achieved their ultimate goal are compelled to tread it once more.

Within the Emperor Road, notions of fairness are nonexistent.

It presents itself as an opportunity, yes.

But in truth, it is a crucible of mortal peril.

Those acquainted with the Emperor Road understand it to be a sanguinary arena, a theater of utter chaos!

Across the annals of time, an untold multitude of prodigious talents have met their demise on the Emperor Road.

If one were to inquire about the location boasting the highest concentration of prodigies in this world.

The Emperor Road would be the unequivocal answer.

And if the question were where the most of these burgeoning talents have perished.

Again, the Emperor Road stands as the undisputed answer.

This starkly illustrates the brutal nature of the Emperor Road.

It is for this reason that survivors of the Emperor Road are often recognized as formidable heroes, having endured trials by combat and death.

To emerge victorious from such climactic struggles is an achievement of immense magnitude.

To imagine passage through the Emperor Road without engaging in combat and reaching its conclusion is an impossibility.

The Emperor Road is far more than a mere pathway.

This very nature explains why, upon its manifestation, the leading powerhouses from across various Great Worlds adopted a stance of solemn preparation, focusing their attention inward.

Consequently, the pervasive animosities and conflicts within the Cultivation World appear to have been temporarily suspended.

This has ushered in a period of relative tranquility, characterized by a scarcity of engagements between paramount figures.

Yet, even amidst this calm, news of earth-shattering importance has begun to circulate.

Within the Xuanhuang Great World, ancient clans with lineages stretching back to antiquity and venerable, reclusive sects have been progressively revealing themselves.

Among these, the Gu Family has captured the fervent attention of the populace!

This widespread renown stems from the Gu Family's birthing of an Immortal Body over two decades prior!

The Taiyang Immortal Body!

Gu Changge.

The ascendance of the Gu Family into the public consciousness signals that Gu Changge is poised to embark upon the Emperor Road!

An Immortal Body!

Throughout history, it has been recognized as the definitive hallmark of a future Great Emperor.

While the Mystic Yellow List bears the title of 'Reserve Emperor List,' this is, in effect, merely a designation.

In reality, only those possessing Immortal Bodies truly warrant the title of Reserve Emperor!

An Immortal Body is widely believed to be predestined for emperorship!

Such is the established saying.

And Gu Changge appears to be the very Child of Destiny for this epoch.

From the moment of his inception, he has been enveloped in an aura of profound glory.

However, the Gu Family had maintained strict secrecy regarding this matter, knowledge of which was confined to a select few.

With this grand unveiling, the Gu Family has cast aside all pretense, openly proclaiming the existence of the Immortal Body.

They have initiated open recruitment for Gu Changge's retinue.

It is proclaimed that those who accompany Gu Changge on his journey along the Emperor Road, should he attain emperorship in the future, will be elevated to the rank of Emperor Generals — a position second to none and superior to countless others!

For individuals lacking absolute confidence in their own capacity to reach the pinnacle, this indeed represents the most advantageous path.

Consequently, whether elder cultivators or the burgeoning generation of prodigies, this news has spurred a mass exodus towards the Gu Family's Sacred Land, all seeking Gu Changge's acceptance.

Concurrent with Gu Changge's public emergence, a parallel discourse has arisen within the Xuanhuang Great World.

The populace has begun to deliberate on the disparity between Gu Changge and Ye Xuan.

One, the veritable Reserve Emperor, blessed with the Taiyang Immortal Body.

The other, acknowledged as preeminent on the Mystic Yellow List.

Both figures seem to embody the apex of this current generation's youthful talent.

A subtle, yet palpable, sense of inherent rivalry appears to exist between the two.

As elucidated by those who thrive on dramatic narratives within the Cultivation World, the stage appears set for these two to clash in a destined confrontation on the Emperor Road!

The proliferation of this rumor has intensified, accompanied by a growing legion of Ye Xuan's fervent supporters.

Furthermore, the intelligence regarding Ye Xuan's acquisition of an Immortal Treasure within the Great Ruins is no longer a guarded secret.

Presently, in the estimation of the various established powers of the Xuanhuang Great World, Ye Xuan is now widely presumed to possess the Dark Immortal Body.

Consequently, the true measure of their respective strengths remains an intriguing unknown.

Naturally, certain factions posit that Gu Changge, endowed with his Immortal Body from birth, has achieved an unparalleled mastery of its inherent potential.

However, in light of the competition for the Immortal Treasure, accounts detailing how Ye Xuan, utilizing merely a single avatar, withstood successive assaults from Invincible Great Sages have already disseminated widely.

This has led a significant number of observers to hold Ye Xuan in high esteem.

Even if the foundation of their Immortal Bodies does not commence on an equal footing, Ye Xuan's demonstrated prowess is undeniably formidable.

Following a notable engagement on Zhongxuan Mountain, an aura of invincibility has become intrinsically associated with him.

This attribute is of paramount importance for individuals on the cusp of embarking upon the Emperor Road!

Such hushed conversations and speculative whispers continue to gain momentum.

As the passage of time unfolds, day after day.

A direct encounter between Ye Xuan and Gu Changge has yet to materialize.

This circumstance has fueled the rampant growth of another prevailing rumor: that the ultimate confrontation between the two will occur precisely upon their ascent to the Emperor Road!

Across every Great World, the Emperor Roads have begun to manifest.

That ancient pathway extends limitlessly beyond the confines of the world, its ultimate destination shrouded in mystery.

Presently, save for the supreme Ten Realms, all Emperor Roads throughout the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds are prepared. We are merely awaiting the appearance of the Ten Realms’ Emperor Road to commence our journey.

However, the duration of such waiting periods can be considerably lengthy.

A full month has elapsed since the momentous battle concluded on Zhongxuan Mountain.

The mystery surrounding the Ten Realms’ Emperor Road persists, remaining hidden from view.

This prolonged uncertainty has instilled a degree of anxiety among many individuals.

Nevertheless, not a single soul dares to venture onto the Emperor Road just yet.

It is universally understood that one can only begin the ascent of the Emperor Road once it has been fully restored and revealed.

To attempt otherwise would invite absolute annihilation.

This grave consequence has served as a stark lesson for all.

Therefore, all that remains is to patiently wait.

Ye Xuan, however, exhibits no trace of impatience, electing to spend his days in the company of his beloved family within the Ye Family estate.

During this interval, his sister, Ye Ling’er, made a brief return, only to vanish once more shortly thereafter.

Ye Ling’er, unable to remain stationary, dedicates her time to exploring various Secret Realms and Sacred Lands daily in pursuit of elusive treasures.

And it must be acknowledged that, aided by her remarkable good fortune, Ye Ling’er consistently reaps distinct rewards from each venture.

Possessing a multitude of treasures at such a tender age, she has already earned the distinction of being a genuine, wealthy young lady.

Jiang Ye harbors considerable concern for his cherished daughter, consequently dispatching attendants of the Jiang Family to discreetly accompany her.

While Jiang Ye has not entirely severed ties with the Kunlun Ruins, his presence there is largely in a state of semi-detachment. The maids and servants who once attended Jiang Ye within the Jiang Family have been specifically assigned to Wan’an City, placed at Jiang Ye’s command.

It bears mentioning that these individuals, hailing from the Jiang Family, possess exceptional prowess, effortlessly ensuring Ye Ling’er’s safety.

One afternoon, as Ye Xuan was accompanying his father, Ye Mingtian, on a leisurely fishing excursion, his gaze suddenly sharpened, drawn to the heavens.

Ye Mingtian also straightened, a broad grin spreading across his face, exclaiming, "Xiao Xuan, the time has come for you to depart."

Rumble————

Precisely as Ye Mingtian uttered these words, an ethereal wave of Mysterious Light seemed to envelop and emanate throughout the entirety of the Xuanhuang Great World!

An immeasurable power surged forth at this precise moment.

It was a sensation seemingly perceptible to every single cultivator within the Xuanhuang Great World.

Yet, upon closer scrutiny, no tangible entity could be discerned.

Nevertheless, formidable cultivators were acutely aware of its presence.

The Emperor Road belonging to the Xuanhuang Great World.

It had finally appeared!

The specific location where the Emperor Road manifested was directly above the Heavenly State Land, situated at the zenith of the Xuanhuang Nine States Land!

Notably, the four prominent families of the Fu Lei Heaven within the Heavenly State were among the first to perceive the descent of the Emperor Road.

It appeared tantalizingly close, within reach.

However, attempts to approach it revealed that this Emperor Road existed as if within a distant, separate realm, rendering it utterly inaccessible.

With the dramatic emergence of the Emperor Road for the Xuanhuang Great World, an official declaration was made: the Emperor Road has truly descended!
