The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 482 - 481 Life Extension Technique

Chapter 482: Chapter 481 Life Extension Technique

Ye Xuan slowly breathed out and said, "The techniques you three cultivate are all different, if you forcibly transfer mana using the Dharma Enlightenment, it will surely kill that person first."

"What?"

Ye Xuan’s words suddenly startled all three of them.

"Can it be? Although the techniques we three cultivate are different, there are no differences in mana," Lv Tiangang raised an eyebrow and said.

"Why don’t you try it then? When someone dies, don’t say I didn’t warn you." Ye Xuan placed his hands behind his head, with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s demeanor, the three elders hesitated.

To be honest, they indeed were not aware of this situation; that decision was made up on the spot by them.

As for its feasibility, it was still up for debate.

"If we don’t take some actions, the three of us might not hold out for half a month before we fall into sleep, never to awake again," Lv Tiangang looked at Ye Xuan.

"In your lifetimes, you’ve all been toiling for the Emperor Immortal Sect, haven’t you?" Ye Xuan asked an unrelated question.

Showing a hint of emotion, Lv Tiangang spoke slowly, "I have been an orphan since childhood and was brought into the Emperor Immortal Sect by the Master at the age of eight; the Emperor Immortal Sect itself is my home."

Zhou Chaolong bitterly smiled and said, "If elder brother feels that way, I should feel even more so, as I was born in the Emperor Immortal Sect."

"And you?" Ye Xuan looked towards Cao Jianchun.

"What’s the point of discussing such nonsense?" Cao Jianchun snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to bring up the past.

Lv Tiangang teased, "Elder Brother Cao’s experiences are different from ours. His ancestors were disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect, but several generations of his lineage, including Cao himself, were unable to join the Emperor Immortal Sect. He knocked on the Mountain Gate nine times before finally being accepted by the Master."

"Elder Brother!" Cao Jianchun appeared somewhat displeased.

Lv Tiangang laughed out loud and said, "Come on, Cao, there’s no one else here, and since we are all going to die, why care about these trivial old stories?"

Zhou Chaolong also started to laugh on the side.

The three brothers, indeed, had toiled their whole lives for the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The people of their generation had all passed away.

Some died in battle, others of old age.

Only the three of them were still alive.

After silently listening to the three’s stories, Ye Xuan spoke slowly, "To be honest, I really don’t want to extend your lives; you have done enough as it stands."

"But I am soft-hearted, so I will reluctantly extend your lives a bit."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan also revealed a slight smile.

The three elders were utterly astounded upon hearing this.

"Life extension?"

"Indeed," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"You know the Life Extension Technique?!" Zhou Chaolong said in disbelief, quickly adding, "I have heard that the Life Extension Technique is against the natural order and will incur divine retribution!"

In the mortal world, if one speaks of divine retribution, many would not take it seriously.

But in the Cultivation World, it is different.

Once one incurs divine retribution, it could scatter one’s soul and destroy one’s Dao existence.

For cultivators, divine retribution is a taboo.

Yet now, Ye Xuan was planning to use the Life Extension Technique to help the three elders; wasn’t this defying the heavens?

"Ye Xuan, whether or not you know the Life Extension Technique, this method is untenable!" both Lv Tiangang and Cao Jianchun said earnestly with solemn faces.

The Life Extension Technique did indeed exist.

But those who dared to use it were few and far between.

The so-called Life Extension Technique was completely a defiance of the heavens, borrowing life from the heavens.

If the heavens meant for you to die today, yet you delayed it until tomorrow, what consequences would you face after death?

Especially for one deploying the Life Extension Technique; it was like challenging the heavens’ might, fighting against the heavens.

In the hearts of the three elders, Ye Xuan was the hope of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s future; how could he do such a thing for three dying men?!

They absolutely would not allow it!

"Ye Xuan, you should leave," Cao Jianchun directly issued an order to expel him.

Ye Xuan, however, smiled lightly and said slowly, "You guys are really scared, aren’t you? It’s just borrowing a bit of life from the heavens."

These words made the three elders even more terrified.

Borrowing a bit of life from the heavens?

After you have borrowed it, how will you repay it?

Moreover, the Life Extension Technique was not guaranteed to succeed; it all depended on the will of the heavens.

If it failed, it would bring about the same consequences.

This act was like licking blood off a knife’s edge, and with one careless move, one could kill oneself.

"Ye Xuan, I absolutely forbid you to act recklessly!" Cao Jianchun warned Ye Xuan sternly.

"Relax, I will treat your words as air," Ye Xuan said, chuckling.

These words directly turned Cao Jianchun’s face black.

He had guarded the Emperor Immortal Sect for so many years and had never seen such an arrogant junior before.

Treating their words as nothing?!

"To say that to his face?"

This is truly showing no regard for them at all!

The expressions of Lv Tiangang and Zhou Chaolong turned dark.

"Ye Xuan, no matter what, this method is absolutely not feasible!" Both of them declared sternly.

They were unwilling to let Ye Xuan risk himself in this way.

"Cut the nonsense, I’ll make the final decision." Ye Xuan casually plucked a blade of grass, placing it in his mouth and chewing it meticulously.

There was a bitter taste spreading in his mouth.

"Zhou Zihuang!" Cao Jianchun bellowed.

Boom————

The next moment, a streak of Sword Qi crossed the sky, followed by an elegant man dressed in a white robe with black trim who appeared out of thin air, a Divine Sword floating behind him. He bowed and said, "Zihuang has seen the three venerable ancestors."

"Oh? My good son-in-law is here too?" Zhou Zihuang caught sight of Ye Xuan, greeting him with a chuckle.

Ye Xuan responded with a big eye roll.

"May I ask why the three venerable ancestors have summoned Zihuang?" Zhou Zihuang asked.

"Zhou Zihuang, do well to control your son-in-law; bring him here to me!" Cao Jianchun commanded sternly.

Zhou Zihuang touched his nose, glanced sideways at Ye Xuan, and said slowly, "Venerable ancestors, to be honest, Zihuang has never liked to control anyone."

Cao Jianchun was almost choked with fury by Zhou Zihuang’s words.

Are you openly defying orders? And you say you’ve never liked to control anyone.

"Stop yelling. Father-in-law indeed doesn’t like to control others, nor can he control me," Ye Xuan said cheerfully.

"You all just stay here quietly, while I go and borrow ten years of life from heaven."

Having said this, Ye Xuan made his move to leave.

"Ye Xuan!" The three venerable ancestors were extremely anxious, but they could only watch helplessly as Ye Xuan left, shaking their heads and sighing.

"Is there anything the venerable ancestors need Zihuang to pass on?" Zhou Zihuang inquired.

"Scram!" Cao Jianchun yelled, furious.

"Alright, Zihuang will relay this exact word to Ye Xuan." Zhou Zihuang said word by word.

Zhou Chaolong laughed, "Zhou Zihuang, oh Zhou Zihuang, you have become more capable, indeed. And we three are not dead yet!"

Zhou Zihuang respectfully said, "Zihuang has always held great respect for the three venerable ancestors."

"Then why don’t you stop Ye Xuan? Do you know what he’s going to do?!" Cao Jianchun said, unusually talkative.

"Of course, I know. Ye Xuan is extending the lives of the three venerable ancestors," Zhou Zihuang said.

"You know?" The three were taken aback, then quickly realized.

This guy must have colluded with Ye Xuan from the beginning!

Zhou Zihuang did not wait for the three to become angry again, immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times, respectfully saying, "The existence of the three venerable ancestors is like the Stabilizing Needle of the Emperor Immortal Sect. If you three fall, the Emperor Immortal Sect will inevitably face death. Surely, the venerable ancestors do not wish to see a thriving Emperor Immortal Sect decline again, right?"

This left the three speechless.

But they also knew when Ye Xuan had decided, they could not intervene.

As of now, they could do nothing.

"Do you realize, if something happens to Ye Xuan, our Emperor Immortal Sect will have no future!" Lv Tiangang stated distinctly.

"Therefore, nothing will happen to Ye Xuan," Zhou Zihuang calmly said.

"It better be so!" Cao Jianchun snorted coldly.

"Zihuang shall not disturb the three venerable ancestors’ rest any longer." Zhou Zihuang turned and left.

The three venerable ancestors watched Zhou Zihuang leave, frustrated in their hearts, yet powerless.

All they could do was wait.

"Ye Xuan, oh Ye Xuan, you truly make one love and hate you!" Zhou Chaolong sighed repeatedly.

Truth be told, Ye Xuan’s actions were for their sake, and also for the Emperor Immortal Sect’s.

They were not unaware of this.

Nevertheless, they too did not want Ye Xuan to come to harm.

In their eyes, Ye Xuan’s life was much more valuable than their own.

That’s why they were so angry.

"Have you noticed something?" Lv Tiangang was the first to calm down, speaking softly.

"What is it?" the two asked, puzzled.

"Ye Xuan’s physique," Lv Tiangang said.

"What about his physique?" the two asked, still not understanding.

With a serious look, Lv Tiangang said, "To me, his physique seems to surpass Youwei’s Dual Divine Body..."

"What?! Isn’t he a Mortal Body?" the two were utterly shocked.

Lv Tiangang shook his head slightly, "I’ve seen him three times, and each time, the changes have been incredibly significant."

"Perhaps by the next time we meet, his cultivation might have already surpassed ours..."
