The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2162 - 2159: The Origin of Jin Que
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"This is not the way to the Dou Tian Divine Domain; it’s the power nurtured by the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld..."
Ye Xuan murmured softly to himself.
This did align with one of his previous speculations.
It only remained to be seen if the upcoming journey would provide further confirmation.
Time passed slowly.
A quarter of an hour went by.
The Flood Dragon Sword Qi of the Thousand Sword Valley completely vanished.
All the Origin Power was entirely absorbed and refined by Zhou Youwei.
That scene filled Guming Feixuan and Heitian Yucheng with even greater joy.
This was the perfect vessel they desired to see!
No!
It was even more astonishing than they had imagined.
Compared to the previously selected vessels, this ’Demon Race’ girl stood out even more.
The original plan was for the Immortal Mountain Crossing Heavenly Turtle to dock here for an hour before setting off again. But now that Zhou Youwei had absorbed that power so early, there was no need to wait for an hour.
After Zhou Youwei absorbed that power, Guming Feixuan and Heitian Yucheng did not approach immediately.
Being too enthusiastic would only arouse suspicion from Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan. Anyway, for the rest of the journey, all they needed to do was secretly protect Zhou Youwei.
"How is it?"
Ye Xuan was the first to ask.
Zhou Youwei’s eyelashes trembled lightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, a tinge of disappointment surfacing in her lively beautiful eyes: "It’s not entirely the power of the Dou Tian Divine Domain, but it’s very similar."
As the reincarnation of the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, Zhou Youwei had encountered this so-called Origin Power most directly.
Although this current power was very similar, Zhou Youwei could instantly discern the differences.
"But I’m sure of one thing, this power is inseparably connected to the Dou Tian Divine Domain."
Zhou Youwei said softly.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "The people of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld are using this power to seek a so-called vessel, and you have been targeted by them."
Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes flickered: "Vessel..."
Ye Xuan reached out and took Zhou Youwei’s hand, speaking softly: "Let’s go, let’s see the next place first."
Zhou Youwei nodded lightly.
Under everyone’s gaze, the two of them returned to the Immortal Mountain Crossing Heavenly Turtle.
Seeing Zhou Youwei return, Guming Feixuan and Heitian Yucheng wasted no words and ordered the Immortal Mountain Crossing Heavenly Turtle to set off for the next place.
"Miss Zhou is truly amazing!"
Jin Que stepped forward immediately to congratulate her.
Ye Xuan looked at Jin Que and laughed, saying, "Do you think I made you come back here to miss out on an opportunity?"
After all, Jin Que was the first to begin absorbing that power, but after Ye Xuan’s advice, he returned to the Immortal Mountain Crossing Heavenly Turtle.
Jin Que shook his head and said, "Brother Ye must have his reasons for doing so, I trust Brother Ye."
Ye Xuan spoke slowly, "You trust someone you just met so much on a journey?"
Jin Que smiled, pointing to his heart and then his eyes: "With the heart to people, with the eyes to see people."
Ye Xuan gave a thumbs up: "Good vision."
Jin Que laughed heartily: "Mutual appreciation."
Ye Xuan chatted casually with Jin Que for a while, while Zhou Youwei had already returned to her room to ponder over that power.
"Actually, you’re quite extraordinary."
Ye Xuan said this to Jin Que.
Jin Que blinked, expressing surprise: "Brother Ye noticed? I always thought I’m quite extraordinary."
Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head: "It’s not a compliment or a joke."
Jin Que looked at Ye Xuan, puzzled, and said, "Why not explain in detail, Brother Ye?"
Ye Xuan’s eyes were deep as he spoke slowly: "You are the Heaven and Earth Primordial Gold, aren’t you?"
Jin Que’s pupils suddenly contracted.
At this moment, Jin Que fell silent.
Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and laughed: "I saw through your origins at first glance, which is probably why you don’t want to walk the Emperor Road. After all, Heaven and Earth Primordial Gold is an extremely rare Refining God Material, and if someone detects it, it will surely attract countless covetous eyes."
Jin Que couldn’t help but take a step back, keeping a distance from Ye Xuan.
This was indeed why he didn’t walk the Emperor Road.
After all, when the Emperor Road opened, he was already a Heaven and Earth Great Sage and could have stepped onto the Emperor Road.
But since he was alone without any backing, once he entered the Emperor Road and his origins were discovered, he would inevitably be killed.
By then, he wouldn’t even know what he would be used for.
Most likely, he’d be used for artifact refining.
Ye Xuan did not look at Jin Que, instead gazing at the ever-retreating landscape, speaking gently: "Being Heaven and Earth Primordial Gold is not why I find you extraordinary..."
Jin Que frowned.
Ye Xuan turned to look at Jin Que and continued: "You have a power within you, a very powerful force, only you haven’t realized it yet. But probably when the Heavenly Dao Suppression is completely lifted, this power will awaken."
Jin Que was even more bewildered. What sort of thing?
"Am I a Reincarnator?"
Jin Que pointed at himself, bewildered.
But it shouldn’t be the case.
If he were a Reincarnator, generally one would realize it starting from the Saint Realm.
Usually, by the time one reaches the Great Sage Realm, it would be fully realized.
He was now already in the True Destiny Great Sage Realm, just a step away from entering the Invincible Great Sage Realm, how could he not sense it?
"Yes."
Ye Xuan nodded.
Jin Que had a peculiar expression on his face: "So, I’m not an ordinary Reincarnator?"
Ye Xuan did not answer Jin Que’s question; instead, he retorted: "Think about why you greeted me at first, was it just because our rooms are next to each other?"
Jin Que seemed to realize something, his expression becoming even more peculiar: "Could there be some connection between Brother Ye and me?"
Ye Xuan smiled and didn’t speak further, returning to his room.
"Hey, Brother Ye?"
Seeing Ye Xuan leave, Jin Que couldn’t help but feel annoyed: "This is no fun, speaking half a sentence, you could choke while eating!"
But unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not pay him any mind.
Jin Que had no choice but to return to his room, immersed in thought, who was he the reincarnation of?
After hearing Brother Ye’s analysis, it seemed there truly was some sort of connection between them?
He calculated the details of his first conversation with Ye Xuan.
Unfounded trust...
Which was indeed very odd.
When traveling, especially among cultivators, there’s no such thing as baring one’s heart, otherwise, there wouldn’t be even bones left.
However, after a long while, Jin Que still couldn’t figure it out.
He needed answers from Brother Ye.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the next destination.
This place was called the Heavenly Water Source.
Various water streams circled in the sky, continuously cycling, forming one water curtain grotto heaven after another.
Upon reaching here, they stopped for half an hour again.
But once people stepped off the Immortal Mountain Crossing Heavenly Turtle, they found that the opportunity was once again absorbed by Zhou Youwei alone.
Someone couldn’t stand it and went to complain to Guming Feixuan and Heitian Yucheng, but the two of them clearly favored Zhou Youwei, leading to the rest of the journey where almost only Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei would step off the Immortal Mountain Crossing Heavenly Turtle, while the others obediently stayed on board.
Only Jin Que occasionally went out, trying to get answers from Ye Xuan.
But unfortunately, Ye Xuan remained silent.
A month passed by in the blink of an eye...
