The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 171 - 170: Old Emperor Palace

Chapter 171: Chapter 170: Old Emperor Palace

"A secret?" Jiang Jing’s face darkened.

However, she did not ask further.

She was well aware that there were many details in this incident.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Zihuang leaving alone must have been to complete some unfinished tasks.

When the time was right, they would naturally tell her.

Regardless, today’s outcome was very good for the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The departure of Zhou Zihuang and Ye Xuan did not disperse the people of the Emperor Immortal Sect; they still gathered there, pointing and discussing around the bodies of the four demons from Qianxue.

It was Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan who quickly returned.

Nie Shan went back to discuss things secretly with Liu Tianhao.

As for Yu Wenlei, he was with Huang Nian and Wen Lin, working together with Wu Jingshan to provide treatment.

This exchange meeting was brutal for Huang Nian and Wen Lin. They were hung up by Lin Feiyan and beaten until they passed out.

If not for Lu Chengde coming to their rescue immediately, they might have already lost half their lives.

Despite this, their injuries were severe and needed treatment.

"That damn Lin Feiyan, I’ll remember this!" Even with Yu Wenlei’s temperament, he couldn’t help but curse.

Both his disciples had been beaten so badly. How could he not be angry?

On the other hand, he also blamed the people of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

But being in the Emperor Immortal Sect, could he really curse them?

So, he could only vent his anger on Lin Feiyan.

Poor Lin Feiyan, who was probably still unconscious.

Throughout the exchange meeting, the most tragic wasn’t Lin Feiyan, but he was second.

The first, undoubtedly, was Zhang Yanliang.

After all, even his Grotto Heaven was destroyed, his realm plummeted to Enfeoffed Lord, and he might never be able to enter a stronger realm again.

Speaking of Ye Xuan.

After leaving the Mountain Gate, Ye Xuan and Zhou Zihuang traveled together to a deserted place rarely visited within the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Looking at that barren land, Ye Xuan seemed somewhat lost.

This place used to be the very center of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Had it really become so desolate?

"The old Emperor Palace is right there," Zhou Zihuang pointed to the only ancient palace still standing amidst the wasteland.

The ancient palace was clearly not built in recent times. It had many ancient Dao patterns, which unfortunately had lost their brilliance and divinity.

This was the past Emperor Palace of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The Lie Tian Great Emperor used to sit in this palace, issuing commands and waging wars across all heavens.

But all of that was past.

The old Emperor Palace had lost its luster, appearing dilapidated and desolate.

From the surrounding environment, it was clear that this place had been abandoned for a very long time.

Desolation everywhere.

This was still within the territory of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Here, there was no one else around.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Zihuang stepped into the old Emperor Palace together.

Upon entering, they were immediately greeted by a damp sensation.

Moss and ivy covered the pillars, and the hall was full of cobwebs, with spiders on them.

"Let’s tidy up this place," Zhou Zihuang said upon seeing this scene, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.

To tell the truth, it was his first time here.

This scene before him unnervingly clogged his heart.

Ye Xuan stood still, somewhat absent-minded, ignoring Zhou Zihuang.

Back then, in this palace, the Lie Tian Great Emperor was present, along with many invincible Emperor Generals.

The Xuanyuan Sword Emperor was also still there.

Ye Xuan was here too.

Little did he expect that when he later went to the Emperor’s Burial Ground to suppress his own Monster Body, and returned from the mountains, everything had changed beyond recognition.

When Ye Xuan returned to the Emperor Immortal Sect, the Lie Tian Great Emperor had already become history.

The Xuanyuan Sword Emperor and other Emperor Generals had all left one after another.

Ye Xuan knew that this was inevitable.

After staying in the Emperor Immortal Sect for a hundred years, he also left.

He then started looking for the next Child of Destiny to train.

In the search, Ye Xuan met a woman named Changxi...

Boom—

Zhou Zihuang made his move and with a wave of his hand, he tidied up the old Emperor Palace which looked nothing like the dark, damp place it was before.

Instantly, the atmosphere became clear and refreshing, and everything felt new.

"It’s much more pleasant to look at this way." Zhou Zihuang expressed his satisfaction.

It was much more pleasant than before.

"Ye Xuan, do you believe there is a chance to find the complete Emperor Dao here?" Zhou Zihuang turned his head and looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes filled with a hint of excitement.

On their way back, the two had discussed the Emperor Dao.

However, that matter was only known between them, even Zhou Youwei was unaware.

Before, Ye Xuan told him, that through the fragments of the Emperor Dao, there was a chance to find the complete Emperor Dao.

But this required returning to the old Emperor Palace.

Because of this, after returning to the sect and discussing the matter of Wansheng Mountain Arena, Zhou Zihuang took Ye Xuan directly to the old Emperor Palace.

"According to the hints given by Lie Tian Great Emperor, it should be so," Ye Xuan, retracting his thoughts, spoke with some doubt.

It seemed that he himself didn’t quite believe it.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, Zhou Zihuang nodded slightly and said, "If there’s even a sliver of a chance, we must try it, this is the real opportunity for the rise of our Emperor Immortal Sect!"

If Ye Xuan truly had that hundred percent confidence, that would be surprising. Ye Xuan’s reaction right now was the real deal.

In fact, Zhou Zihuang also doubted Ye Xuan’s claim.

"Take out the remnants of the Emperor Dao and give it a try," Ye Xuan suggested.

"Alright," Zhou Zihuang responded without further ado, promptly taking out the fragments of the Emperor Dao.

It was an extremely ancient secret book, consisting of only ten pages and not continuous, appearing somewhat tattered.

Yet, it contained an overwhelming presence that could not be faced directly, causing trembles to one’s divine soul and an inherent desire to submit from the bottom of one’s heart.

It was as if facing a supreme emperor!

Zhou Zihuang’s demeanor was filled with a hint of respect.

This Emperor Dao was created by the patriarch of Emperor Immortal Sect, Lie Tian Great Emperor. That’s why even as fragments, they still carried an unbearable imperial might.

This was the imperial might left by Lie Tian Great Emperor!

This was the fragment of the Emperor Dao.

The Emperor Dao was the cultivation technique cultivated by Lie Tian Great Emperor himself, known for its unparalleled domineering nature, said to force submission regardless of how powerful the opponent is as soon as it was exercised.

The entire cultivation technique was based on dominance, which perfectly matched the fiery nature of Lie Tian Great Emperor.

Unfortunately, the Emperor Dao was now completely deficient and beyond cultivation.

In the Emperor Immortal Sect, there wasn’t even a record of the Emperor Dao, which was a dire situation.

After all, this was once the most powerful immortal technique of the Emperor Immortal Sect, yet it was lost in its continuous decline.

Unexpectedly, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country had preserved fragments of the Emperor Dao.

In the recent exchange competition, Lie Tian Heavenly Country had also lost these remnants of the Emperor Dao.

The Emperor Immortal Sect, at last, retrieved a fragment of its glory.

Ye Xuan looked at the fragments of the Emperor Dao and spoke softly, "Why not carry it around the old Emperor Palace, perhaps a chance might present itself."

"Hmm." Zhou Zihuang nodded slightly, holding the fragments of the Emperor Dao in his right hand, and began to move around inside the old Emperor Palace as instructed by Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan watched Zhou Zihuang leave with a calm expression, his gaze then fell on the emperor’s throne at the center of the high platform in the palace.

The whole throne was forged from blocks of supreme Black Immortal Gold.

But due to being neglected for a long time, along with its ordinary and unornamented appearance of Black Immortal Gold, it looked like a plain black seat with nothing extraordinary.

However, Ye Xuan clearly knew that this Black Immortal Gold was rare and a fine treasure for crafting true artifacts.

Yet with his current strength, he was still unable to craft true artifacts.

And even if he could, he wouldn’t touch this throne.

No matter what, he was the master of Lie Tian Great Emperor, and although his power was now insignificant, he wasn’t desperate enough to disturb his disciple’s legacy.

"Don’t think I didn’t know, when your master returned to suppress his body in the Emperor’s Burial Ground, you surely went sneaking in behind, accompanied by Xuanyuan and the like, but the power of the Emperor of that burial was not something you could confront..."

Ye Xuan, looking at the Black Immortal Gold forged throne, had a distant look in his eyes as he inwardly blamed.

"I said wait for me to emerge from seclusion, everything should proceed according to plan, yet you disobeyed."

Ye Xuan felt both blame and heartache.

Those youngsters, full of passion, only believed in the division of right or wrong in their hearts.

It was precisely because of this that they rushed into such reckless actions.

Even risking their lives.

"Once I return to the peak, I will bring you back," Ye Xuan vowed inwardly, his eyes resolute.

Ye Xuan’s thoughts were unknown to anyone.

Even if known, they wouldn’t understand their meaning.

The group of youngsters in Ye Xuan’s heart.

They were none other than Lie Tian Great Emperor and Xuanyuan Sword Emperor and others...
