The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1868 - 1865: Primordial Emperor Road

The Emperor’s Path.

We have reached our destination.

Everyone’s eyes widened, utterly astonished by the spectacle before them.

“Could this be the true Emperor’s Path?”

Cheng Kes gazed at the surroundings, his heart filled with awe.

They were indeed on an ancient Emperor’s Path.

However, this time, the Emperor’s Path was noticeably less expansive than before.

Flanking the Emperor’s Path was a world that resembled a dream, awash in enchanting, seemingly ethereal colors.

And in the distance, other paths could be seen, evidently also Emperor’s Paths!

Ancient bronze Immortal Palaces were suspended above the Emperor’s Path, accompanied by ethereal celestial melodies.

This was truly a new world, beyond anything one could imagine of the Emperor’s Path.

For those unfamiliar with the Emperor’s Path, this sight was profoundly bewildering.

“The density of the Great Dao’s aura here is incredible; cultivating in such an environment would surely yield double the results with half the effort.”

“Is that a Purple Qi Lotus blossoming over there?”

Someone pointed towards the sky, indicating a lotus bud on the verge of blooming.

Around the lotus, wisps of faint purple energy swirled, exuding an air of profound mystery.

This was undoubtedly the exceedingly rare Purple Qi Lotus found in the Cultivation World, possessing miraculous effects whether used in alchemy or consumed directly.

It even provided significant assistance to those in the Great Saint Realm!

Furthermore, it became apparent that more than one Purple Qi Lotus adorned the sky.

Upon closer examination, it was discovered that these lotuses appeared at regular intervals around them!

“Qing Ming Mystic Gold, a divine material unparalleled in refining Great Saint Dao Weapons and Quasi-Emperor Dao Weapons!”

A Heaven and Earth Great Sage, skilled in artifact refinement, clutched a dark green stone, roughly the size of a fist, tears streaming down his face in sheer ecstasy!

“This is simply a cultivator’s paradise!”

Cheng Kes, seeing this as well, could not contain the exhilaration surging within him.

“Attempt to sketch the Emperor’s Path.”

At that precise moment, Ye Xuan’s voice cut through the air, bringing Cheng Kes back to his senses.

“Huh?” Cheng Kes was taken aback, “Are you certain I can sketch it?”

Ye Xuan cast a sideways glance at Cheng Kes, remarking calmly, “Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that?”

Cheng Kes blushed, his voice tinged with shyness, “I exerted all my strength to sketch the Thunder Pond previously. I fear I may not be able to sketch this Emperor’s Path…”

Ye Xuan responded gently, “There’s no need to rush; we have ample time. Your primary objective on the Emperor’s Path is to sketch it.”

“Moreover…”

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, “From this point forward, all of you must remain vigilant of everyone around you, including myself.”

“Huh?”

A ripple of surprise went through the group upon hearing this.

Qiao Xinyu maintained her composure, her voice soft as she stated, “On the Emperor’s Path, opportunities abound, but so do dangers. These threats come not only from fellow travelers but also from the path itself.”

“The Emperor’s Path will manifest that which is familiar, awakening your inner demons.”

“It will also manifest each of us, potentially leading to misunderstandings. Therefore, maintain a discerning mind.”

Prior to setting foot on the Emperor’s Path, Qiao Xinyu had clearly conducted extensive research. Prompted by Ye Xuan’s reminder, she instantly deduced the situation and shared her insights with the group.

Hai Dong and Cheng Kes, unfamiliar with the intricacies of the Emperor’s Path, finally grasped the implications of her words.

So that’s how it is!

“How can we distinguish them?” Cheng Kes inquired softly.

“There is no need to distinguish; simply eliminate them,” Ye Xuan declared with a casual smile.

“Huh?!” Cheng Kes was incredulous, “What if the Emperor’s Path manifests a Young Master? How could I possibly kill him?”

“The Emperor’s Path will manifest in accordance with your strength,” Ye Xuan explained slowly. “Therefore, your focus should primarily be on those who traverse the path alongside you.”

Boom!

Amidst their conversation, a fierce battle had already ignited nearby!

Two individuals, both at the Heaven and Earth Great Sage Realm, were locked in combat over an Immortal Vine!

They fought with extreme intensity, their various Divine Skills illuminating the sky.

On this Emperor’s Path, not even the most formidable power could cause lasting destruction.

Thus, they were free to battle to their hearts’ content.

Ye Xuan calmly advised, “Do not rush forward. First, locate the Emperor’s Path that is most suitable for you.”

The true Emperor’s Path is not singular; in addition to the Primordial Emperor Road beneath our feet, there exist three thousand Emperor Paths, each intrinsically linked to one of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Individuals who arrive at this place typically select the Emperor’s Path that aligns best with their own cultivation.

Upon reaching the pinnacle, these three thousand Emperor Paths converge into a single ultimate path, bringing together all surviving path leaders.

At that juncture, a contest will ensue among the leaders of the three thousand Emperor Paths, determining the undisputed supreme being of the Xuanhuang Great World to walk the ultimate path.

Having conquered this stage of the Emperor's Path, they now advance to the second, a trial where all the prodigies from the myriad worlds converge.

"Young Master..."

Qiao Xinyu regarded Ye Xuan, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes.

"I shall see you at the peak of the Emperor's Path," Ye Xuan replied with a gentle smile.

Qiao Xinyu nodded with deep resolve, then vanished, the three Black Sky Blades strapped to her back.

"Young Master, I shall depart as well." Liang Difan, too, disappeared.

He had sensed the call of his Taiyin Dao.

One by one, Jiang Ya and the others also took their leave.

In mere moments, only Hai Dong, Cheng Kes, and the East Desolate Wolf remained by Ye Xuan's side.

After a brief pause, Hai Dong earnestly sought Ye Xuan's guidance before departing.

Cheng Kes, evidently unwilling to go, was unceremoniously tossed away by Ye Xuan.

With only the East Desolate Wolf remaining, Ye Xuan's expression grew stern. He spoke softly, "That individual from the Gu Family, Gu Changfeng, treads a similar path to you, yet he resides in the True Destiny Great Sage Realm."

A cold glint flashed in the East Desolate Wolf's eyes as he responded with gravity, "Master, please be assured. If I cannot even manage this, I am unworthy to be your hound."

With those words, the East Desolate Wolf departed.

Ye Xuan stood alone.

The Primordial Emperor Road is a path seldom trod.

It had always been so.

Ye Xuan intended to walk this very road.

As for the other three thousand Emperor Paths, he had already traversed them all.

The most profound opportunity was not to be found on the three thousand Emperor Paths, but rather, hidden beneath this Primordial Emperor Road.

This was precisely why Ye Xuan had maintained his cultivation at the Great Sage Realm.

Only by navigating this path as a Great Sage and vanquishing all at the summit of the three thousand Emperor Paths could one seize that ultimate opportunity.

Previously, no one had ever achieved this.

Indeed, in bygone eras, it was Quasi-Emperors or Great Saints who embarked upon the Emperor's Path, and never had anyone accomplished this feat while remaining a Great Sage.

However, Ye Xuan now understood.

This opportunity was never meant for those past times; it was reserved for this present era!

Given this realization, Ye Xuan would, without question, claim it.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the young man standing not far away. He spoke faintly, "Do you intend to traverse the Primordial Path?"

That individual was none other than Gu Changge.

Gu Changge calmly met Ye Xuan's gaze, slowly uttering, "Are you also planning to walk the Primordial Emperor Road?"

Ye Xuan spread his hands with a smile, replying, "Undoubtedly, yes."

Gu Changge observed the young man with composure, softly inquiring, "Why not tread the Taiyang Emperor Road?"
