Chapter 481 - 480: The Current State of the Three Ancestors

Chapter 481: Chapter 480: The Current State of the Three Ancestors

The Tian Qing Mountain Range spans a hundred thousand miles, with undercurrents surging.

These matters also spread at an astonishing speed throughout the Southern Domain.

The numerous powers of the Southern Domain all became aware of this incident.

After the Sect Leader of the Yunxiao Sect, the Sect Master of the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Sect Leader of the Canghai Sect were destroyed by the hands of the Emperor Immortal Sect!

This news sent shockwaves throughout the Southern Domain.

There were also many who used this as an opportunity to mockingly kick the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Canghai Sect while they were down.

After all, it was better not to get involved in the affairs of the Emperor Immortal Sect if one could avoid it.

Especially the unrelated Canghai Sect, as well as the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect which could still be considered a relative of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

It was bad enough that they didn’t lend aid, but to kick them when they were down was disgraceful.

This sort of unkind behavior was disliked by everyone.

Now, seeing the fate of the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect and the Canghai Sect, naturally, many people were clapping their hands in joy.

...

Immortal King Hall.

A young daoist in a daoist robe stood at the peak of Immortal King Mountain, watching the purple aura rising from the east. After receiving the news, he smiled slightly and said softly, "It seems Ye Xuan’s defiance of the heavens is going quite smoothly."

He had previously said that with Ye Xuan carrying the Emperor Immortal Sect on his back, his journey was akin to defying the heavens.

Now, it seemed that truly defying the heavens had begun.

But for some reason, he always felt that Ye Xuan would succeed.

Perhaps it was because of the mythic record Ye Xuan created at the Immortal King Hall.

Or maybe it was his Dragon Nurturing Techniques?

In any case, in his view, Ye Xuan was no ordinary person.

Far from ordinary.

He was the most extraordinary young person he had ever seen.

...

Inside the Sun Swallowing Sect.

Supreme Elder Luo Wenfeng put down the Jade Scroll, revealing a hint of a smile: "It seems there is no need for this old man to take action."

"Grandfather, what’s making you so happy?"

A pale-faced youth showed a clean, cheerful smile.

Luo Wenfeng looked at the youth and smiled, "Luo Xiu, do you remember the benefactor that Grandfather always mentions to you?"

The youth’s eyes brightened, showing a childlike happiness, and said, "Is Grandfather referring to benefactor Ye Xuan?"

Luo Wenfeng nodded, "Exactly."

The youth asked, "What about benefactor Ye Xuan?"

Luo Wenfeng spoke slowly, "I’ve told you before that benefactor Ye Xuan comes from the Emperor Immortal Sect, and recently, the Emperor Immortal Sect has been in crisis. I planned to help out."

The youth nodded, "You’ve mentioned this, Grandfather, and I wanted to go too."

"Grandfather, are we not going now?" the youth asked, his mind clearly sharp.

Luo Wenfeng nodded, "Yes, because benefactor Ye Xuan has already frightened the enemies."

The youth blinked his eyes in admiration, "Benefactor Ye Xuan is so amazing! I want to be as awesome as benefactor Ye Xuan one day."

Luo Wenfeng laughed, "Luo Xiu, if you diligently cultivate, you’ll become very powerful in the future, and then you can personally repay your gratitude to benefactor Ye Xuan. That would be best."

The youth nodded vigorously, earnestly saying, "Luo Xiu remembers."

"Go and practice," Luo Wenfeng said with satisfaction.

"Alright, Grandfather!"

The youth left.

This youth was the very child who was saved by Ye Xuan in the Treasure Court of Yinling City—Luo Wenfeng’s grandson.

His name was Luo Xiu.

Previously, he was but a seven or eight-year-old child, but now he had become a youthful figure.

In reality, this was due to the affliction of an Evil Spirit, which was why he appeared this way.

After Ye Xuan intervened and treated him, Luo Xiu had returned to normal.

However, his mentality was still that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

But his constitution was terrifying and somewhat peculiar.

It was called—the Shura Dominator Body.

This was one of the Overlord Bodies.

Yet, upon minor accomplishment, it possessed terrifying strength even greater than that of a Divine Body.

The main reason Luo Xiu was afflicted by an Evil Spirit before was due to the Shura Dominator Body.

Now, Luo Xiu had reached the Miao Xuan Stage of the Shura Dominator Body, and with just one more step, he could reach minor accomplishment.

All of this was thanks to Ye Xuan.

This was something Luo Wenfeng was very clear about, and he always said as much to Luo Xiu.

In his life, Luo Wenfeng acted unrestrained by rules, but he knew one principle well: a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.

Moreover, what Ye Xuan did for Luo Xiu was akin to giving him a new life.

Luo Wenfeng was very clear that had Ye Xuan not stepped in at the time, Luo Xiu would have been undoubtedly dead, not to mention surviving until now.

This time, with the crisis facing Emperor Immortal Sect, Luo Wenfeng planned to take action and block Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

In his personal capacity, unrelated to Sun Swallowing Sect.

However, he hadn’t expected that Ye Xuan would take the initiative to strike first, directly deterring those coveting Emperor Immortal Sect.

That actually saved him the rush to take action himself.

...

Speaking of which, Emperor Immortal Sect.

After Ye Xuan returned, the four guards of the Ye Family came to greet him.

"Is there something you need?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.

"Young Master, if our Ye Family steps in regarding the matters of Emperor Immortal Sect, I believe Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven will surely back off," one of the Ye Family guards said.

They obviously also sensed the crisis facing Emperor Immortal Sect.

And since Ye Xuan was part of Emperor Immortal Sect, they had reasons to worry for Ye Xuan and by extension, for Emperor Immortal Sect.

Ye Xuan glanced at the four of them and said unhurriedly, "I have my own measure of the situation, though it’s thoughtful of you four. You may stay here from now on."

The strength of these four was at the Heavenly Human Realm, and they had the advantage of being young with great potential.

It was evident that Great Grandfather Ye Hongyi had chosen them with great care.

When time allowed, they would indeed be ripe for further training.

After all, they could deal with some trivial matters, as he couldn’t be expected to handle everything personally.

Upon hearing this, the four didn’t dare to say more and respectfully accepted the command.

After the four left, Ye Xuan stroked his chin and decided to check on those three old fellows.

He heard that Zhou Chaolong was no longer able to take action.

It seemed that the situation had become quite serious.

Ye Xuan had suspected this earlier on.

Given the state of those three elders, they didn’t have long to live.

But logically speaking, it shouldn’t be to the point where they were incapacitated now.

It seemed likely that some unforeseen issue had arisen.

Regardless, Emperor Immortal Sect currently still needed them to stand their ground.

Otherwise, chaos was inevitable.

Alone, Ye Xuan soared toward the deep interior of Emperor Immortal Sect’s territory.

The way was unobstructed.

When he arrived at the mountain where the three ancestors resided, Ye Xuan found they were waiting for him.

"You’re back." The three ancestors nodded slightly to Ye Xuan as a greeting.

Ye Xuan sat opposite the three, frowning as he observed them and asked softly, "Can’t hold on any longer?"

Compared to the last time Ye Xuan had visited Cang Mountain, the three seemed to be in even worse condition.

This was evident from the manifestation of their souls.

The first time Ye Xuan came here, the souls of the three ancestors were in good shape, enveloped in pure aura, like Immortals leaving their physical shells.

But this time, the souls of the three were thin, giving off the illusion they might dissipate at any moment.

This was proof of their deteriorated condition.

"Ye Xuan, we have a suggestion that you might want to hear," the ancestor in the middle said slowly.

"Go ahead," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"You know as well as we do that if we three fall, Emperor Immortal Sect will surely fall into chaos. Our condition is extremely unstable and once we fall into slumber this time, we may never wake up," the ancestor said slowly.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Get to the point."

The ancestor paused, looked at Ye Xuan, and said solemnly, "My fellow brother Cao and I plan to transfer all of our remaining strength to Brother Zhou, to allow him to continue overseeing Emperor Immortal Sect!"

"Brother Lv?!"

The words of the ancestor caused the faces of Zhou Chaolong and another ancestor, Cao Jianchun, to change instantly.

"Didn’t we agree that Zhou and I would transfer our strength to you?" Cao Jianchun, who was usually reticent, showed a flash of anger at this moment.

Zhou Chaolong was also staring intently at his own senior brother, Lv Tiangang.

They had previously discussed that Zhou Chaolong and Cao Jianchun would transfer all their strength to Lv Tiangang, allowing him to continue overseeing Emperor Immortal Sect as he was the strongest and most clear-sighted among them, undoubtedly the best choice.

Lv Tiangang had also agreed to this plan. But now, he was proposing to transfer the strength to Zhou Chaolong instead!

This was something neither Cao Jianchun nor Zhou Chaolong could accept.

"Listen to me. Brother Zhou is the youngest; transferring the strength to him means he can live longer, making Emperor Immortal Sect more stable," Lv Tiangang explained calmly.

"I disagree!" Zhou Chaolong objected vehemently.

Cao Jianchun also had a stern face.

Observing this scene, Ye Xuan’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he spoke slowly, "I’m afraid this method won’t work."

"Hmm?" All three ancestors were taken aback. "Why not?"

Ye Xuan said deliberately, "The methods that you three have cultivated are all different. If you attempt to forcefully transfer mana through the Dharma Enlightenment, it will surely kill the recipient first."
