Chapter 271 - 270: All But a Speck of Dust

Chapter 271: Chapter 270: All But a Speck of Dust

"The aura you sensed should not be that of the Imperial Emperor Sword, but rather..."

"The Divine Sun Sword!"

Ye Xuan’s expression was somewhat odd as he spoke.

"The Divine Sun Sword?" Upon hearing this name, all three ancestors were stunned for a moment.

The eldest among the ancestors changed his expression slightly and said gravely, "Could it be the personal sword of the Divine Sun Ancestor?!"

"The Divine Sun Ancestor?!" The other two ancestors were also shocked, their eyes flashing with astonishment.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

From the descriptions of the three, Ye Xuan had made a judgement and realized it was not the Imperial Emperor Sword but the Divine Sun Sword.

It was the personal sword of the Divine Sun Ancestor as mentioned by the three ancestors.

The Divine Sun Ancestor was actually the disciple of Lie Tian Great Emperor, named Zhao Shenyang, and he was also a generation’s sect master of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Back in the years when Ye Xuan slept and awoke to return to the Emperor Immortal Sect, where he stayed for a hundred years, the sect master at that time was Zhao Shenyang.

Ye Xuan had a rather deep impression of this young fellow.

Because in some aspects, Zhao Shenyang was very much like Lie Tian.

Ye Xuan also taught Zhao Shenyang quite a few things.

Zhao Shenyang’s swordsmanship could also be said to be mostly taught by Ye Xuan.

With Zhao Shenyang presiding over the Emperor Immortal Sect at that time, the sect remained very powerful.

Seeing that the Emperor Immortal Sect was able to stabilize the situation, Ye Xuan set out and left.

Ye Xuan was also quite familiar with the Divine Sun Sword that Zhao Shenyang wielded.

So, he could make a judgment at a glance.

"It’s not the Imperial Emperor Sword?" The three ancestors showed a trace of disappointment in their hearts.

They had originally thought it was the Imperial Emperor Sword, but it turned out to be just the Divine Sun Sword.

In comparison, although the Divine Sun Sword was also terrifying, it was not on the same level as the Imperial Emperor Sword.

"One day, I will take back the Imperial Emperor Sword. But this time, I will also take back the Divine Sun Sword," Ye Xuan said calmly, without a hint of disappointment.

He had guessed early on that the Imperial Emperor Sword was completely unlikely to appear in the Southern Ghost Tomb.

Receiving news of the Divine Sun Sword was already incredibly good news.

"Don’t underestimate the Divine Sun Sword. Although it’s not as powerful as the Imperial Emperor Sword, it’s almost on par with the Xuanyuan Sword of the Xuanyuan Sword Emperor," Ye Xuan said, his lips curling up as he saw the three ancestors looking crestfallen.

These three old fellows were really quite greedy.

Receiving news of the Divine Sun Sword was already a great boon, yet they still looked unwilling.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" The three ancestors were somewhat incredulous.

The Xuanyuan Sword of the Xuanyuan Sword Emperor was a divine weapon famous throughout the ages, while the Divine Sun Sword, although renowned, seemed far less so by comparison.

"Of course," Ye Xuan nodded.

Others might not know, but he was very clear.

The reason the Divine Sun Sword was not as famous as the Xuanyuan Sword was because Zhao Shenyang himself was quite low-key, rarely challenging others, and focused solely on perfecting his swordsmanship.

Because of this, the fame of the Divine Sun Sword was not that widespread.

"However, this trip to the Southern Ghost Tomb will be crowded with strong opponents, and even if the Divine Sun Sword emerges, it might be difficult to compete for it later on..."

"That was one of our concerns as well," said the three ancestors, looking at Ye Xuan.

When the Southern Ghost Tomb opened, the prodigies from most of the powers in the Southern Domain would go there, turning it into a chaotic battle. With so many strong opponents, it would be tough to win the Divine Sun Sword.

"Don’t worry, it’s a minor matter," Ye Xuan smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.

The three ancestors exchanged glances, each seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

"Are you confident?" Zhou Chaolong asked Ye Xuan, his voice grave.

"To use my own words, I am invincible, and they are inconsequential," Ye Xuan replied evenly, his words filled with a brash arrogance.

These words left the three ancestors momentarily stunned.

This guy actually had so much confidence.

"Ye Xuan, I must tell you something," Zhou Chaolong took a deep breath, his expression solemn.

"Speak," Ye Xuan said.

Zhou Chaolong said earnestly, "How do you think a radius of a hundred thousand li around the Azure Mountain range would suit you?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "A speck of dust."

Zhou Chaolong nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, compared to the Southern Domain, the Tianqing mountain range that spans a hundred thousand li is just a speck of dust."

"And the vastness of the Southern Domain, with its multitude of powerful beings, is probably beyond your imagination."

"So, you understand our meaning, right?"

Zhou Chaolong looked at Ye Xuan, his tone serious.

Ye Xuan’s smile faded, and with a deep gaze, he looked at Zhou Chaolong and said slowly, "Then what do you think of the Southern Domain, and what about the East Desolation Domain?"

The three elders were slightly taken aback, and Zhou Chaolong said, "Compared to the area of the Tianqing mountain range, the Southern Domain is like a vast and boundless continent, while the East Desolation Domain is like the infinite expanse of the cosmos."

Before Zhou Chaolong could finish, Ye Xuan was already shaking his head.

"What do you think, then?" Zhou Chaolong raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing but a speck of dust." Ye Xuan said calmly, as if talking about something extremely ordinary.

The three elders: "..."

Speechless on the spot.

Zhou Chaolong was caught off-guard and said earnestly, "Ye Xuan, we know you have extraordinary talent and are protected by our esteemed ancestor, and you will surely reach the peak in the future, but you must take each step at a time, and not be overly ambitious."

"Right now, you have not yet entered the true Southern Domain, nor the true East Desolate."

"So, do not underestimate the people of the world."

"Ye Xuan, the road of cultivation is long, and what’s before you now isn’t important, because the future is still unknown."

"Just like how you were humiliated and abused in the Emperor Immortal Sect before, but now you have become the greatly respected senior brother."

"You understand my meaning, right?"

Zhou Chaolong looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan casually dug at his ear and said indifferently, "Are you trying to tell me not to hold too much hope for the Divine Sun Sword?"

"Cough cough..." Zhou Chaolong’s face reddened slightly as he hastily said:

"Ye Xuan, it’s not exactly like that. What we mean is that you can’t underestimate those prodigies from the Southern Domain. They are not the likes of Zhang Yanliang, Xi Jianfeng, or Liu Tianyi. They are the true Heavenly Prides."

"But regarding the Divine Sun Sword, you should still try your best to seize it if possible. If not, prioritize preserving your life. Worst comes to worst, you can always get stronger and take it back..., retrieve it."

"Don’t worry, I will retrieve the Divine Sun Sword," Ye Xuan yawned, rubbing his eyes as he said, "If there’s nothing else, I’m taking off."

Seeing his demeanor, the three elders who had wanted to say more felt somewhat helpless.

"Forget it, you go on. If there’s anything, we’ll have Qiu Wenhan look for you." Zhou Chaolong couldn’t help shaking his head with a wry smile.

They had said so much just now, but Ye Xuan probably hadn’t taken a single word to heart!

"See you later." Ye Xuan waved without looking back and strode off into the air.

After watching Ye Xuan leave, a silence fell upon Cang Mountain.

"This Ye Xuan is perhaps a bit too arrogant..." the least talkative elder said slowly.

"The temperament of young people is mostly like this. Which of us three wasn’t the same back in the day?" Zhou Chaolong said with a smile on his face.

"But the matter of the Southern Ghost Tomb is no trifling matter. If Ye Xuan takes that attitude, I’m afraid he will not be able to retrieve the Divine Sun Sword..." the elder added.

"Actually, we didn’t hold much hope from the beginning, did we?" Zhou Chaolong said.

"We called him here today just to give him a motivation to move forward."

"If he fails, it’s not a bad thing. At the very least, it can help him consolidate himself."

"As for the Divine Sun Sword, he can retrieve it after he becomes stronger."

Zhou Chaolong’s words left the elder silent for a while before finally nodding in agreement.

"Youwei has condensed seven Grotto Heavens..." Suddenly, the eldest among the elders spoke.

"What!?"

The moment these words were uttered, Zhou Chaolong and the other elder’s expressions drastically changed. They immediately sensed it and were filled with joy.

"Worthy of being Youwei, just after entering the second layer of Grotto Heaven, she has already condensed seven Grotto Heavens!"

"Such talent, even in the entire Southern Domain, is top-notch!"

"With Youwei and Ye Xuan, how could Emperor Immortal Sect worry about not rising..."

Both of them were overjoyed.

Ye Xuan, who had just left Cang Mountain, also noticed that Zhou Youwei had condensed the seventh Grotto Heaven.

Originally planning to go back to his residence, Ye Xuan turned towards the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion.

"The Smoke Mist Holy Liquid from Smoke Mist Mountain has been delivered. I see that three of Youwei’s Daoist Platforms are flawless. This is the perfect opportunity to enhance them to perfect Daoist Platforms."

Ye Xuan thought to himself.
