The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 172 - 171 Emperor Dao

Chapter 172: Chapter 171 Emperor Dao

Ye Xuan steadied his spirit and sat cross-legged on the spot.

Immediately, the Eternal Emperor Soul stirred.

Hum————

The next moment, the entire territory of the Emperor Immortal Sect fell under Ye Xuan’s scrutiny.

After a glance, Ye Xuan retracted his sight back to the old Emperor Palace.

The old Emperor Palace was very majestic, occupying an area of three thousand kilometers.

Zhou Zihuang, holding the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll, followed Ye Xuan’s instructions and began to wander around.

While wandering, Zhou Zihuang also paid close attention to the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll in his hands, just in case.

Walking through the old Emperor Palace, Zhou Zihuang carried a sense of nostalgia, reverence, and a hint of guilt.

The Emperor Immortal Sect had once been so glorious.

But now, it had fallen to such a point where any Sect dared to bully the Emperor Immortal Sect.

This made Zhou Zihuang feel guilty, feeling that he had let down his ancestors.

’Some day, our Sect will return the Emperor Immortal Sect to its peak, regain its past glory, and reign over the entire Daozhou Land!’ Zhou Zihuang swore to himself in silence.

Ye Xuan, who had been observing all along, felt that the timing was almost right and his soul thought shifted slightly.

Hum————

The very next moment, the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll in Zhou Zihuang’s hands broke free and hovered in the air, bursting forth with waves of Immortal Light!

"This is..." Zhou Zihuang was startled and about to reach out to retrieve it, but upon seeing the anomalies, he lost his concentration. Immediately taking a sharp breath, his eyes filled with surprised delight.

"Ye Xuan was telling the truth!" "The forefathers really left their mark here!" Zhou Zihuang was overjoyed.

If the Emperor Dao could indeed be fully restored today, it would be an immensely joyous event for the entire Emperor Immortal Sect!

Amid Zhou Zihuang’s tension and anticipation, the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll was enveloped in Immortal Light. Then, the previously missing part began to slowly emerge.

The handwriting was rough but resolute, like gold letters. Although there was no paper to hold it, the writing hung in the air, aligning itself automatically with the scroll.

Soon, the first volume of the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll was restored to completeness.

Hum————

As the first volume of the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao was restored, the Immortal Light faded, and the Emperor Dao flew back into Zhou Zihuang’s hands.

Holding it with both hands, Zhou Zihuang was so moved at the sight of the restored Emperor Dao that he didn’t know what to say, tears welling in his eyes.

"Go back and tell Ye Xuan!"

In the end, Zhou Zihuang decided to share the good news with Ye Xuan first!

Zhou Zihuang, with the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao in hand, headed towards the central hall of the old Emperor Palace.

Soon, Zhou Zihuang returned to the grand hall.

"Ye Xuan, the Emperor Dao has been restored!" Zhou Zihuang urgently conveyed, his eyes bearing an irrepressible joy.

However, upon seeing Ye Xuan, his expression darkened slightly: "Ye Xuan!"

Zhou Zihuang instantly teleported next to Ye Xuan, helping him up and asking gravely, "What happened?!"

Ye Xuan at this moment was ashen, with blood flowing from his seven orifices!

His breath was extremely weak!

Ye Xuan mustered his energy, waved his hand feebly, and said, "Just now Lie Tian Great Emperor forced a dream upon me, claiming that the first volume of the Emperor Dao needed to be restored to completion, but it required me to act as a medium, so it consumed a lot of Essence Qi Spirit."

"How is it, is the first volume of the Emperor Dao restored?" Ye Xuan asked weakly, looking at Zhou Zihuang.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zihuang couldn’t help but be moved. He looked earnestly at Ye Xuan, presented the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao in his hand, and said, "Just now, as I reached the outer hall, an anomaly occurred, and then the Emperor Dao was restored."

So, Ye Xuan was telling the truth!

That meant Ye Xuan truly received a hint from the forefathers!

And all that had just happened was because the forefathers restored the Emperor Dao through Ye Xuan as a medium.

’Ye Xuan, he truly is the one chosen by the forefathers!’ Zhou Zihuang thought to himself.

This also dispelled some of Zhou Zihuang’s doubts about Ye Xuan.

For Ye Xuan to have his Essence Qi Spirit nearly depleted for the restoration of the Emperor Dao was a great sacrifice for a cultivator of the Divine Gate Realm!

Ye Xuan looked at the Emperor Dao in Zhou Zihuang’s hands and said with a slight smile, "Since it has been restored, then there is no problem, keep it safe."

Zhou Zihuang was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Didn’t the ancestor entrust you with the Emperor Dao?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said weakly, "He said you are the most suitable to cultivate the Emperor Dao, and I am not the right fit."

"So, keep it safe. He told you to let no one know about it, not even the old ancestors."

Zhou Zihuang’s expression changed, and he suddenly felt an invisible pressure. He frowned and asked, "Is that really what the ancestor said?"

"Yes," Ye Xuan nodded and said, "He said to restore only the first volume for now. After you finish cultivating it, come back here to restore the second volume."

"The heavy responsibility of leading the rise of the Emperor Immortal Sect now rests on your shoulders."

Ye Xuan said with a serious face.

In fact, this was all false.

There was no ancestor, nor any hint from Lie Tian Great Emperor.

All of it was fabricated by Ye Xuan.

The Emperor Dao had also been forcibly restored by Ye Xuan through the Eternal Emperor Soul, using powerful soul thoughts.

But repairing a Great Emperor Immortal Skill, especially one of that top-tier level, was incredibly difficult.

If it were the Ye Xuan of old, it would have been easily handled.

But now, with his Eternal Emperor Soul in a stage of recovery and his Soul Power only partially usable,

the most crucial point was that Ye Xuan’s Daoist Body was in the primary awakening stage, and using Soul Power would produce a load.

Bleeding from all seven orifices was a signal.

If he continued to restore the second volume, Ye Xuan would likely fall directly into a coma.

Therefore, Ye Xuan had said to restore only the first volume for now and wait until Zhou Zihuang finished cultivating it before restoring the second volume.

"Okay!" Zhou Zihuang did not say much, uttering only one word.

But he felt the weight of ten thousand catties.

This did not make him nervous; on the contrary, it made him feel an even greater responsibility.

He must ensure the rise of the Emperor Immortal Sect!

Not to fail the expectations of the ancestor!

"I should heal your injuries first," Zhou Zihuang said, seeing Ye Xuan’s weak aura, and expressed his concern.

"No need, just send me back to sleep," Ye Xuan refused.

He was simply exhausted from the overuse of Soul Power, resulting in his physique not being able to bear it. Sleeping was the best way to recover.

"Alright." Seeing this, Zhou Zihuang did not insist and carried Ye Xuan back to Emperor Peak.

At Emperor Peak, Zhou Youwei was waiting.

Seeing Ye Xuan with blood flowing from his seven orifices and weak to the extreme, Zhou Youwei’s pretty face paled, and a look of concern flashed in her eyes.

"Ye Xuan, what happened to you?"

"It’s nothing, just a bit tired," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

But due to the bleeding from his orifices, he looked somewhat fierce.

Like some sort of fierce ghost...

"What did father take him to do?" Seeing this scene, Zhou Youwei stepped forward to help Ye Xuan and glared at Zhou Zihuang with some blame.

Zhou Zihuang touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed, but thinking of Ye Xuan’s merit, he said seriously, "Youwei, Ye Xuan is a good man, you must take care of him well, do not let him be wronged, otherwise your father will come looking for you."

Zhou Youwei was somewhat stunned, then her face flushed, and she said in a low voice, "What is father talking about? I don’t understand."

"The two of you have been married for a year now, why are you still shy?" Zhou Zihuang gave Zhou Youwei a look before turning to Ye Xuan and said, "Good son-in-law, please bear with it, my daughter has always been a little silly since she was small."

"Let’s leave it at that, I won’t disturb you two, I’ll take my leave."

With that, Zhou Zihuang quickly left, giving Ye Xuan a meaningful glance as he went.

However, Zhou Youwei witnessed this scene.

Zhou Youwei looked suspiciously at Zhou Zihuang’s retreating back and then at Ye Xuan beside her, asking softly, "What exactly did you two do, and why would father say those things?"

"Before, although he didn’t oppose our marriage openly, he had his reservations, so why has he changed his attitude now, just like mother..."

In the past, no one was optimistic about her marriage with Ye Xuan.

But now, mother, sister, father, everyone had changed their attitude.

"Probably, it’s just personal charm," Ye Xuan sighed and said helplessly.

Zhou Youwei instantly rolled her eyes and muttered softly, "I really want to find a mirror to show you what you look like now, just like a ghost... and you talk about personal charm..."

"Eh?!"

"Ye Xuan!"

While Zhou Youwei was muttering, she suddenly noticed Ye Xuan’s eyes roll back as he leaned towards her limply.
