The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1854 - 1851: Gathering in the Heavenly State

Masters of absolute power soared through the skies above the Heavenly State, one after another. This day marked an unprecedented, grand occasion for the entire region. Normally, the Great Sage Realm was spoken of only in hushed, legendary tones. Yet today, Great Sages appeared in droves, like a swarm of locusts, an utterly astonishing spectacle. Such a scene naturally provided endless inspiration for countless artists. Cheng Kes, who trailed Ye Xuan, consistently kept a drawing frame with her, diligently capturing the sights encountered on their journey onto blank paper. This included the marvels she witnessed upon their arrival in the Heavenly State. Hai Dong, positioned relatively close to Cheng Kes, possessed little insight into this young woman, whose ranking on the Mystic Yellow List far surpassed his own. He recalled that back in the Great Ruins, when she declared herself a painter, Ye Xuan had taken her under his wing, a fact that ignited considerable curiosity within Hai Dong. During their time within the Emperor Immortal Sect, Hai Dong had sought opportunities to observe Cheng Kes's artistic talents. Regrettably, this young woman hailing from the Xuanhuang Continent had displayed no extraordinary abilities. Even the current paintings she created failed to evoke any sense of remarkable skill in Hai Dong's eyes. This left him deeply perplexed. Cheng Kes evidently had no intention of offering explanations to Hai Dong, maintaining her position behind Ye Xuan while meticulously painting the scenes of Great Sages appearing en masse. Suddenly inspired, Cheng Kes decided to incorporate Ye Xuan and Li Feixuan into her artwork. However, for reasons unknown, when she attempted to sketch Ye Xuan, she consistently struggled to begin, as if the man before her was shrouded in a mist of Chaos, rendering his true visage indiscernible. Ultimately, Cheng Kes was compelled to abandon the effort. A sense of dejection settled within her, a feeling that her artistic journey was far from its ultimate goal. Within the central chamber of her sect's most ancient hall resided a painting known as the Thousand Emperor Map. This magnificent artwork depicted a multitude of Great Emperors! It stood as a significant source of pride for her sect. Her personal aspiration was to add another emperor to this esteemed Thousand Emperor Map! She had already identified her chosen subject. It was none other than Ye Xuan, positioned before her. Yet, at this moment, Ye Xuan remained considerably distant from achieving the status of a Great Emperor, and she found herself incapable of accurately portraying him, a realization that was indeed disheartening. Soon, however, Cheng Kes managed to readjust her emotional state, having firmly resolved to accompany Ye Xuan. This minor obstacle was insufficient to deter her! Take heart! Cheng Kes urged herself onward. Hai Dong perceived the subtle shifts in the young woman's emotions beside him, finding them quite baffling, truly validating the adage that 'a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.' Its depths were difficult to fathom. Maintaining a respectful distance seemed the wisest course of action. In stark contrast, the East Desolate Wolf exuded the most straightforward emotions, brimming with fervent battle spirit! The East Desolate Wolf possessed a clear understanding of its role; it was, quite simply, Ye Xuan's loyal canine, its purpose to attack any who dared provoke its master on the Emperor Road! Meanwhile, Li Feixuan was diligently analyzing information regarding potential adversaries for Ye Xuan. It must be acknowledged that, as the descendant of a Guardian, Li Feixuan's knowledge base surpassed even that of certain ancient lineages passed down through Great Emperor Immortal Sects. Before long, familiar figures from the Mystic Yellow List began to materialize one by one within the Heavenly State. However, upon sighting Ye Xuan, they all maintained a considerable distance, offering a mere respectful nod from afar, which was considered more than sufficient. Following the significant confrontation at Zhongxuan Mountain, no one dared to directly challenge his formidable power. This was especially true for those harboring animosity towards Ye Xuan, such as the Mysterious Woman of Feathering, Hua Ming, and Liu Yuanchen. They only dared to cast fleeting glances at Ye Xuan from a distance, refraining from any prolonged observation. "Young Master, my Master has informed me that the Mysterious Woman of Feathering has now ascended to the True Destiny Great Sage Realm..." Li Feixuan, upon noticing the presence of the Mysterious Woman of Feathering, whispered this update to Ye Xuan. Previously, within the Great Ruins, the Mysterious Woman of Feathering had acquired the legacy of Chi Lei, a Quasi-Emperor, and subsequently entered the Heaven and Earth Great Sage Realm. She had also come perilously close to perfecting her Dark Immortal Body with the aid of the Black Candle, only to be thwarted by Ye Xuan at the final moment. Later, after receiving a stern lesson from Ye Xuan, she had narrowly escaped annihilation. Fortunately, Emperor Mu had kindly gifted her a medicinal pill, allowing the Mysterious Woman of Feathering to transform a severe setback into an opportunity for advancement, further augmenting her capabilities. Now, with the Emperor Road unveiled, it presented an undeniable golden opportunity for the Mysterious Woman of Feathering. However, after her encounter with Ye Xuan, she appeared to have developed a palpable fear of him, losing the arrogant demeanor she once possessed. "Cousin!" Jiang Ya, originating from the Kunlun Ruins, also arrived and immediately located Ye Xuan, excitedly hurrying towards him.

Clad in a blue robe, Jiang Ya already possessed a strikingly elegant figure. Her refined beauty bore a distinct resemblance to her aunt, Jiang Ye, a testament to their shared family lineage.

While Jiang Ya typically maintained a reserved demeanor, a smile from her could illuminate the surroundings, as brilliant and pure as a Snow Lotus blooming atop Heavenly Mountain.

"Young Master Ye."

Accompanying Jiang Ya was a woman in a black robe, exuding an aura of cold captivation.

This was Nie Jing, hailing from the Qilin Continent.

Previously, in the Great Ruins, Nie Jing had attempted to pledge allegiance to Ye Xuan but was refused. Subsequently, she turned to Jiang Ya, becoming her devoted follower.

Ye Xuan harbored no surprise at this turn of events and had no intention of interfering with Jiang Ya’s personal decisions.

Nie Jing's potential was far from ordinary, yet Ye Xuan maintained exceptionally high standards. He rarely recruited individuals unless they demonstrated extraordinary talent in a particular area.

The future was poised to be fraught with turmoil, and Ye Xuan simply lacked the time to personally mentor each subordinate.

Before long.

Wang Xi, Jianchenzi, and several other prominent figures also made their appearance, offering their greetings to Ye Xuan.

Every individual’s gaze was intensely fixed upon the Emperor Road suspended above Fu Lei Heaven.

What manner of path was it?

Observed from a distance, it resembled an ancient Dao stretching out before them, emanating a profound and historic grandeur.

The ascent towards the Emperor Road appeared fractured.

Nevertheless, the entrance to the Emperor Road was discernible.

Only from that specific point could one embark on the journey along the Emperor Road.

Whoosh————

At this precise moment, a black streak rapidly streaked across the sky from afar.

A woman, draped in a black robe and wielding three black sabers, her face obscured by a black veil, tore through the void as she approached.

"She has finally arrived."

Upon witnessing this figure, the East Desolate Wolf narrowed its eyes, murmuring softly to itself.

However, a moment later, the East Desolate Wolf felt an abrupt tightening in its chest as the black-robed woman directed a piercingly cold gaze in its direction.

In that instant, the East Desolate Wolf’s scalp tingled intensely.

Intriguing!

This woman’s cultivation has advanced once more!

The East Desolate Wolf exclaimed inwardly.

"Qiao Xinyu pays her respects to Young Master."

The woman in the black robe inclined her head towards Ye Xuan.

The visitor was none other than Qiao Xinyu, a member of the Black Blade Sect.

In the presence of others, Qiao Xinyu refrained from addressing Ye Xuan as Emperor Ye, opting instead for the more familiar "Young Master."

Ye Xuan offered a slight nod in acknowledgment.

"Little Xinyu, are you not awaiting your Martial Uncle?"

At this juncture, a languid voice emerged from behind.

All eyes turned towards the source of the voice, revealing a young man garbed in white.

With his hands clasped behind his back, the young man glided through the clouds as if a banished immortal descending to the mortal realm, exuding an aura as profound as an abyss and a prison, projecting an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Yet, paradoxically, he maintained an air of extreme nonchalance.

Nonetheless, any attempt to meet his gaze proved futile, compelling observers to avert their eyes.

Upon hearing the familiar address, a frigid spark flickered within Qiao Xinyu’s beautiful eyes, and she responded with a cold tone, "Do not call me that."

Ye Xuan turned his head slightly, remarking with composure, "The Snow Storage of the Immortal Crossing Sect?"
