The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 415 - 414: Far-Sighted Strategy

Chapter 415: Chapter 414: Far-Sighted Strategy

Ye Xuan left the restricted area and began to secretly ponder.

The Yunxiao Sect searching for an alliance with the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven was in fact just his speculation.

He figured that after the death of the Yunxiao Sect Leader, the members of the Yunxiao Sect would definitely seek out the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

And the response from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect would surely be to tell the Yunxiao Sect not to come to them.

But the Yunxiao Sect would never agree to that.

Because during his time at the Southern Ghost Tomb, he had said that either the Yunxiao Sect must return everything they took from the Emperor Immortal Sect all those years ago, or he would personally retrieve it.

Trusting that upon receiving the order from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, they would realize that the Emperor Immortal Sect was not as simple as they imagined.

It was for this reason that the Yunxiao Sect would inevitably seek out other allies.

The best candidates,

naturally, were the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

These two Sects had joined forces with Yunxiao Sect in the past to take down the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Normally, if the Yunxiao Sect were to seek an alliance with the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, these two would absolutely not bother with Yunxiao Sect.

After all, the Emperor Immortal Sect had already thoroughly declined; was such a Sect still worth their effort?

The answer, of course, was no.

After the battle all those years ago, their strength had completely grown, and they no longer needed the Emperor Immortal Sect.

So under normal circumstances, they would definitely refuse a proposal from the Yunxiao Sect.

But now the situation was different.

Because of the death of Sect Hierarch Wu Nantian of the Heavenly Demon Sect, his brother, Wu Yutian, had developed a deep hatred for Ye Xuan and also for the Emperor Immortal Sect.

And Wu Yutian was a True Disciple of the Fierce Battle Sect, with a not insignificant standing.

In such a case, the Fierce Battle Sect was certainly willing to take action.

But the Fierce Battle Sect was no fool; naturally, they would not be so foolish as to wage a great war simply over the personal grievances of one True Disciple.

After all, they could not be sure that other Sects would not harbor evil intentions.

If because of such a matter, they were to face threats themselves, it would definitely be a losing business.

The high-ranking members of the Fierce Battle Sect were not fools.

Only if there were benefits to be had would they truly attract the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

And within the Emperor Immortal Sect, the only thing that could entice them was the Great Emperor Immortal Skill...

Zhou Youwei’s cultivation of the Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture must have been learned by the Yunxiao Sect by now.

That information, was certainly also passed on to the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven by the people of the Yunxiao Sect.

The importance of a Great Emperor Immortal Skill, they understood better than anyone.

In the past, their powers had not been top-notch; it was only with the support of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect that they had won the great war forty thousand years ago.

Afterward, they had profited greatly from the Emperor Immortal Sect and thus had risen to power.

In this, the importance of the Great Emperor Immortal Skill was indispensable.

It was for this reason that their most valued asset was the Great Emperor Immortal Skill.

If they could obtain another Great Emperor Immortal Skill, their strength would undoubtedly receive a huge boost.

This being the case, their target was now starkly clear.

It was to cause trouble for the Emperor Immortal Sect and then take away the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Great Emperor Immortal Skill!

This was their goal!

Moreover, they also had excuses for a crusade in hand.

The death of the Yunxiao Sect Leader, the death of the Yunxiao Saint Heir, the grudge between Wu Yutian and Ye Xuan.

Any one of these excuses could be used for them to crusade against the Emperor Immortal Sect.

All these had been anticipated by Ye Xuan long ago.

Truth be told, the alliance of the Yunxiao Sect with the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven was slower than Ye Xuan had imagined.

He had even gone ahead to lay groundwork at the Immortal King Hall, and only now had he begun to hear whispers about this matter.

Such opponents were hardly a threat to Ye Xuan.

This was also why, after getting wind of the coalition between the Yunxiao Sect, Fierce Battle Sect, and Qianyuan Cave Heaven from Mt. Wushan, Ye Xuan had remained calm.

For him, his opponents were coming too slowly.

So slowly that Ye Xuan had nearly forgotten about this affair.

But if they really did come, it would actually be just right.

The Emperor Immortal Sect still had a long journey before truly rising.

In this, the replenishment of the Scripture Pavilion was extremely critical.

Back in the day, the Emperor Immortal Sect indeed was the true overlord of the East Desolation Domain, possessing countless Daoist Collections.

However, after that battle ninety thousand years ago, the Emperor Immortal Sect had lost over half of its Daoist Collection, even the Sect’s signature Emperor Dao had vanished without a trace.

Then, in the battle that occurred forty thousand years ago, the Emperor Immortal Sect was thoroughly declared in decline, falling into the dust.

The Daoist Collection was almost entirely plundered at that time.

The only remaining Great Emperor Immortal Skill was the "Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture."

Just this one Cultivation Technique!

The rest of the Saintly Techniques were also stolen in countless numbers.

In such circumstances, the choices of Divine Skills available for the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were extremely limited.

Within the bounds of the Tianqing Mountains, perhaps it didn’t matter so much.

But if considered across the entire Southern Domain or even the entire East Desolation Great Domain...

The Emperor Immortal Sect was absolutely considered an insignificant existence.

Because their foundation was too weak.

It was only fortunate that "Vast Qi" had not been stolen, otherwise, the Emperor Immortal Sect would have been utterly finished.

However, ultimately, "Vast Qi" was just a foundational Cultivation Technique, and relying solely on it to break through to a higher realm was extremely difficult.

In the view of Ye Xuan, within the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, the only person who could possibly rise up using "Vast Qi" was one.

That was the exceptionally talented Zhou Bingyi.

This younger aunt of his had a very peculiar talent, highly suitable for cultivating "Vast Qi." If she truly continued to cultivate it, her future was undoubtedly terrifying.

But it was only Zhou Bingyi alone.

For others to forge higher achievements based on this single technique was truly too difficult.

The Immortal King Hall had already dispatched three powerful elders to go and teach at the Emperor Immortal Sect.

As the saying goes, even a clever wife can’t cook without rice; no matter how solid the teaching of the three elders, if the foundation of the Emperor Immortal Sect itself was inadequate, then building skyscrapers was out of the question.

Therefore, it was essential for the people of the Emperor Immortal Sect to learn more advanced Cultivation Techniques.

Such techniques, Ye Xuan could easily provide.

But what purpose would that serve?

The vengeance of the Emperor Immortal Sect must be exacted.

Since that was the case, why not directly take back everything from the people who had stolen their possessions all those years ago!

It would not only allow the Emperor Immortal Sect to regain everything but would also boost the morale of the Emperor Immortal Sect to an unprecedented level.

Once that energy was condensed, the true rise of the Emperor Immortal Sect would not be far off.

This was all part of the plan conceived by Ye Xuan.

"So the Sect Leader of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect still doesn’t dare to face me now..."

Ye Xuan pondered quietly.

In his calculations, after he had shown the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order, it would take at most six months for the Sect Leader of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to seek him out.

But now that half a year had passed, this person still hadn’t shown up.

This was quite unexpected for Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was not actually afraid of the people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect discovering his identity.

It was widely believed that Changxi and Mu Yun were from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

In reality, neither of them were; they were individuals taught by Ye Xuan, who only claimed to be from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect externally.

However, it seemed that after Ye Xuan fell into a soul slumber, the two had used the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to orchestrate a move against the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Concerning this, Ye Xuan had made some calculations.

The time wasn’t right yet.

When the opportunity arrived, Ye Xuan intended to personally visit the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to investigate the events of the past.

In the final analysis, it still came down to his current strength not being nearly sufficient.

When his Emperor Soul recovered to its peak and his Daoist Body reached great success, he would then seek out the Double Emperors.

"Once these guys’ stuff is delivered, I can start condensing the Three Thousand Heavenly Phenomena..." Ye Xuan said to himself.

The reason he hadn’t killed these individuals from the East Desolation Great Domain was to use their strength to seek out some Cultivation resources, thereby using them to cultivate.

Now, he already possessed an eighteenfold speed of cultivation, and along with the strength of his Daoist Body, his speed of cultivation was almost a hundred times that of an ordinary Cultivator.

Such a speed of cultivation, if not supported by formidable Cultivation resources, was completely unsustainable.

Ye Xuan’s Three Thousand Heavenly Phenomena Cultivation technique was missing many things.

Many resources were not found even within the treasure vault of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

This time, making use of these fellows from the East Desolation Great Domain was perfect for completing these Cultivation resources.

With this, upon stepping into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, Ye Xuan would be able to immediately practice the Three Thousand Heavenly Phenomena.
