The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1855 - 1852: Snow Storage

"The Immortal Crossing Sect’s Snow Storage?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted slightly, and he spoke in a low, deliberate tone.

Qiao Xinyu clasped her hands, responding, "To answer you, Young Master, this individual is indeed the Immortal Crossing Sect’s Snow Storage, Tang Kui. He was sealed ninety thousand years ago. Now that the Emperor Road has opened, the old ancestor of the Immortal Crossing Sect has unsealed him, allowing him to emerge in this era. Furthermore, the ancestor wishes for me to ascend the Emperor Road alongside him."

A sense of helplessness permeated Qiao Xinyu’s words as she spoke.

Despite her various titles and positions, the troubles associated with them were equally numerous.

As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Crossing Sect, she found herself unable to defy the direct orders of the sect’s old ancestor.

What made it even more difficult was that the old ancestor had not issued a command, but instead reminisced with Qiao Xinyu about her initial days after joining the Immortal Crossing Sect.

Such a gentle approach was, in reality, the most effective.

Ultimately, Qiao Xinyu had no recourse but to reluctantly agree.

However, Qiao Xinyu made a clear stipulation: she requested that the old ancestor issue a warning to this newly emerged Snow Storage. She demanded that he refrain from any foolish actions in front of Emperor Ye. If he were to perish as a result, she would not intervene.

Throughout their journey here, Qiao Xinyu had been utterly vexed by this so-called Junior Martial Uncle.

Qiao Xinyu had finally managed to shake off this bothersome individual to pay respects to Emperor Ye, only for him to cling to her once more, much like a stubborn piece of plaster.

"Tang Kui?"

Upon hearing the name, a peculiar light flickered in Li Feixuan’s exquisite eyes. She moved closer to Ye Xuan, whispering, "Young Master, the Snow Storage prodigy I mentioned earlier, he is one of them. His physique is the peerless Tribulation Thunder Overlord Body, rumored to have even brushed against the secrets of an Immortal Body. He was an unparalleled prodigy from ninety thousand years ago who chose to seal himself when the Twin Emperors reached their absolute zenith, thus missing the subsequent End of Dharma Era."

At this precise moment, Tang Kui had already arrived, intending to approach.

The East Desolate Wolf was the first to move, baring his teeth as he confronted Tang Kui, his voice deep as he commanded, "Stop."

Tang Kui offered a faint smile and replied with utmost politeness, "Fellow Daoist, please do not misunderstand. I am one of your own. I am seeking Little Xinyu—she is my Martial Niece."

Qiao Xinyu’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her gaze penetrated the veil toward Tang Kui as she said softly, "Tang Kui, do not forget the old ancestor’s instructions."

Tang Kui chuckled lightly, remarking, "Little Xinyu, there is no need for reminders. Although this Martial Uncle has slumbered for ninety thousand years, my mind has not dulled into stupidity."

As he spoke, Tang Kui’s gaze settled upon Ye Xuan. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile graced his lips. "Presumably, this is Young Master Ye Xuan, Ye Gongzi?"

"I have long held you in high regard, deeply admired you."

Tang Kui offered a slight bow with cupped hands and continued, "I have only just been revived, and already your reputation as the strongest Reserve Emperor of the Xuanhuang has reached my ears."

While his words seemed to convey respect for Ye Xuan, they subtly carried a hidden taunt.

Qiao Xinyu perceived the underlying meaning in his words. A flicker of killing intent flashed in her eyes as she spoke coldly, "Tang Kui, if you do not wish to perish, then depart immediately."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained serene. He gestured for Qiao Xinyu to hold back, cast a glance at Tang Kui, and offered a faint smile. "If you have no pressing matters, kindly remove yourself from my presence. A mere ant like you fails to ignite even the slightest interest in me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Kui showed no signs of anger. Instead, he erupted into laughter. Gazing at Ye Xuan, a touch of wildness flickered within his eyes. "A misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. I truly hold Young Master Ye Xuan in great admiration. I only hope that on the Emperor Road, Young Master Ye will generously impart some knowledge to me. I wish to be Young Master Ye’s inaugural opponent."

"Only you? You are hardly qualified to make my cousin lift a finger."

From the side, Jiang Ya regarded Tang Kui with indifference. "Do not presume that being a Snow Storage elevates you. I have vanquished countless Reincarnators."

Tang Kui paid no mind to Jiang Ya, instead focusing his narrowed, smiling gaze on Ye Xuan. "Young Master Ye certainly enjoys the company of beautiful women. I shall not intrude further. I will take my leave for now."

"Little Xinyu, I am aware of your considerable strength. When the time comes on the Emperor Road, perhaps you and I could engage in a friendly duel."

Before departing, Tang Kui addressed Qiao Xinyu once more.

Having spoken, Tang Kui departed without further incident.

"Please forgive me, Young Master. Xinyu will attend to that individual immediately."

Qiao Xinyu clasped her hands together in greeting towards Ye Xuan.

Even though the old ancestor had issued a decree, this Tang Kui had been the one to speak out of turn first. She resolved that she would show no mercy and kill him when the opportunity arose.

Ye Xuan simply waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need to concern yourself with him."

"Young Master..."

A flicker of apprehension crossed Qiao Xinyu's eyes.

Ye Xuan responded with a smile, "Rest assured. I do not consider a mere ant like him worth my attention."

Only then did Qiao Xinyu feel a significant sense of relief.

"Young Master Ye, when do you intend to embark on the Emperor Road?"

Wang Xi, standing nearby, inquired softly.

At this juncture, despite the convergence of numerous formidable cultivators in Heavenly State, none appeared eager to ascend the Emperor Road.

They all seemed to be in a state of waiting, anticipating something.

Time drifted by, and an ever-increasing number of powerful individuals arrived at Heavenly State.

One after another, previously obscure Snow Storages and Reincarnators began to reveal themselves.

These individuals hailed from diverse ancient inheritances, Longevity Families, and Great Emperor Immortal Sects, among other esteemed backgrounds.

In comparison, the thirty-six names that had previously dominated the Mystic Yellow List seemed to have lost their prominence at this moment.

Naturally, the existence of the top five contenders continued to be a topic of frequent discussion.

Ye Xuan, in particular, who held the first rank, was often mentioned.

"News has returned,"

Wang Xi announced softly at this point. "From the Five Elements Great World, one of the Ten Realms—an elder powerhouse at the Great Saint Realm embarked on the Emperor Road and was instantly annihilated."

Her voice, though not loud, struck everyone's ears like the brutal impact of a heavy hammer!

Simultaneously, numerous other ancient factions received this same disquieting intelligence!

Many elder powerhouses present couldn't conceal their expressions of disappointment.

In truth, they had harbored such a prediction even before their arrival.

They had been waiting—precisely waiting for confirmation regarding someone ascending the Emperor Road.

It was this specific piece of news they were anticipating.

Had the Great Saint Realm and Quasi-Emperor Realm remained unaffected, they too would have commenced their ascent onto the Emperor Road.

However, the intelligence that had now arrived from the Five Elements Great World served as confirmation: the Heavenly Dao Suppression remained in effect.

This indicated that the Emperor Road had fundamentally changed; it now appeared that only cultivators at the Great Sage Realm were permitted to ascend.

Anyone exceeding the Great Sage Realm would face immediate annihilation by the Emperor Road's suppression!

"As anticipated..."

Upon reaching this conclusion, Ye Xuan displayed no surprise, having foreseen this outcome for a considerable time.

After all, the timing of the Emperor Road's emergence had been questionable from the outset.

Logically, it should only have become accessible after the complete cessation of the Heavenly Dao Suppression.

The current situation aligned perfectly with the appropriate timing for the Emperor Road's appearance.

"Considering this, my fortune is indeed quite exceptional."

Ye Xuan mused inwardly to himself.

Although, for him personally, the presence or absence of suppression made no discernible difference.

However, with this existing suppression, his own advantage would become immeasurable.

On the Emperor Road, he believed no one would be capable of impeding his progress.

"Once you embark on the Emperor Road, I will need to enter a period of dormancy for a while."

Bai Ze's gentle voice resonated within Ye Xuan's consciousness.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was taken aback to a degree.

The Emperor Road represented the most peculiar phenomenon across all Heavens and Myriad Worlds; certain existences that operated beyond conventional rules would inevitably face suppression by the Emperor Road.

Bai Ze, it seemed, was no exception to this rule.

This fact caused Ye Xuan a degree of surprise.

After all, Bai Ze's origins could be traced back to the Immortal Ancient epoch of the Ancient Immortal Realm itself.

"It has no direct connection to the Emperor Road. I have encountered my own destined opportunity,"

Bai Ze clarified softly.

Ye Xuan's heart stirred slightly. "Then, after the Emperor Road journey concludes, you should be able to recall a great many things."

Bai Ze emitted a soft affirmation, a gentle 'mm'. Within Ye Xuan's perception, her aura began to gradually diminish, eventually fading into nothingness.

Concurrently, the intricate pattern adorning the back of Ye Xuan's hand vanished without a trace.
