The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 520 - 519: The Truth

Chapter 520: Chapter 519: The Truth

Zhou Zihuang and the others have returned to the Sect.

The entire Emperor Immortal Sect welcomes them.

The Guardian Hall Masters who went with them all had joy overflowing on their faces.

The items obtained from the annihilation of Yunxiao Sect, once Qiu Wenhan revealed them, elicited cheers from the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Of course, what made everyone the happiest was the return of the Observing Heaven Realm.

The Observing Heaven Realm, this is something extremely important to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

It was said before that if one could cultivate within the Observing Heaven Realm, then one would undoubtedly do so with twice the result for half the effort.

It’s worth mentioning that the Observing Heaven Realm that was brought back was indeed the very one that belonged to the Emperor Immortal Sect years ago.

More exaggerated than that of the East Desolate Ye Family’s Observing Heaven Realm even.

Now within the Emperor Immortal Sect, many new Heavenly Phenomenon Realms have already been born; bringing back the Observing Heaven Realm provided them with a tremendous boost.

Lv Tiangang and others also revealed smiles that had been absent for a long time.

Seeing the Emperor Immortal Sect thriving, their hearts were filled with satisfaction.

At the same time, they were also grateful for everything that Ye Xuan had done.

If not for Ye Xuan, they would most likely have already closed their eyes for good.

How could they witness the scene before them, then?

After Li Kuangtu returned to the Sect, he first went to pay his respects to Ye Xuan, and then entered into seclusion.

This battle allowed Li Kuangtu to once again touch a bottleneck.

Hua Yunzhang and others went to look for Ning Zongtang.

When old friends meet, naturally they would drink and chat joyfully.

"Ye Xuan, let’s talk alone," Zhou Zihuang approached Ye Xuan.

"What guidance does my father-in-law have?" Ye Xuan asked with a beaming smile.

Zhou Zihuang shook his head with a wry smile, "Let’s not talk about that between us."

Ye Xuan gave a slight smile, "Are you asking about the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect?"

Zhou Zihuang’s smile faded, and his brows furrowed slightly, "You knew?"

All along the way, Zhou Zihuang had been pondering this question.

He had finally decided to ask Ye Xuan first, then to inquire with Elder Ning.

Unexpectedly, before he even spoke, Ye Xuan saw through his thoughts.

Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, "How would I know about such a matter?"

Although he had guesses in his heart, such matters were naturally not to be disclosed.

The matter was of great importance, and Zhou Zihuang intervening would not bring any benefits.

"Well..." Zhou Zihuang was somewhat disappointed, but he hadn’t held much hope in the first place, so it was still okay.

"Then I’ll go ask Elder Ning," he said.

"Don’t ask, I’ve already asked," Ye Xuan said.

"You’ve asked?" Zhou Zihuang was astonished, then quickly said, "Tell me about it."

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, sounding a bit irritated, "He has limited knowledge, no one knows what exactly happened back then."

However, regarding what Ning Zongtang had said, Ye Xuan did not hide anything and laid it all out.

According to Ning Zongtang’s account, the battle that occurred ninety thousand years ago involving the Great Emperor Immortal Sects, involved many parties.

The participants were not just the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

For instance, the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect of the East Desolate also took part.

Besides them, there were other forces involved as well.

But as for the specific reason, even Ning Zongtang didn’t know.

When Zhou Zihuang heard the whole story, his expression grew serious, and he said in a low voice, "With that matter, what’s your take on it?"

Ye Xuan shrugged, speaking ambiguously, "Such matters are tough to judge, it’s possible they wanted to gain something from the Emperor Immortal Sect."

Zhou Zihuang narrowed his eyes, "I have been deducing this matter all the way back, and I found quite a few oddities. Especially when combined with what Elder Ning said, I am even more convinced that what happened ninety thousand years ago, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s action against our Emperor Immortal Sect, wasn’t so simple."

Ye Xuan glanced at Zhou Zihuang and said in a calm voice, "How so?"

Zhou Zihuang organized his thoughts and said, "As Elder Ning said, those who acted against our Emperor Immortal Sect back then were not only the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, but also included the reigning Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect from the East Desolation Great Domain, and even the Great Emperor Immortal Sects from the other three Great Domains of the Daozhou Continent. What is it that caused so many Great Emperor Immortal Sects to act against us at the same time?"

"An unparalleled treasure? Or is there something more?"

"If it’s just that, certainly it wouldn’t warrant such an upheaval. After all, from what I understand, all of these Great Emperor Immortal Sects are of an overlord level. If they needed something, they wouldn’t resort to such thuggish behavior, which would harm the dignity of the Great Emperor Immortal Sects."

"Even if they wanted to do so, they would do it in the shadows."

"Yet, they didn’t do that, but rather brought it out into the open."

Zhou Zihuang paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Thus, they were doing this for only one purpose, to pressure our Emperor Immortal Sect!"

"That is to say, the thing they want might be the same, and it seems to not be something material..."

As he reached this point, Zhou Zihuang’s voice was at its lowest.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged as he pondered, "Actually, none of these matter anymore, what’s important is to get the Emperor Immortal Sect up and running, to return the Emperor Immortal Sect to Zhongxuan Mountain."

Zhou Zihuang was stunned for a moment, "You’re not interested in the truth?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, "Ancient history is boring."

Zhou Zihuang stared at Ye Xuan, and suddenly sighed, "Alright then."

Seeing Zhou Zihuang seem somewhat deflated, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile and said, "Actually, there is a very simple way to know the truth about what you have said."

Zhou Zihuang exchanged a look with Ye Xuan, and without Ye Xuan having to say it, Zhou Zihuang already knew what Ye Xuan was about to suggest.

"Are you suggesting that we go directly to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect or the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect who took action against the Emperor Immortal Sect back then?" Zhou Zihuang said with a bitter smile.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and replied, "Of course."

Zhou Zihuang chuckled bitterly and did not speak.

If it were that simple, would he still be sitting here talking about it?

Emperor Immortal Sect had indeed risen now.

But to confront Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect?

That would be akin to inviting the joint forces of the nine great powers to Emperor Immortal Sect—only to court death.

"If you don’t have the strength, knowing the truth is useless," Ye Xuan said seriously, the smile fading from his face.

Zhou Zihuang suddenly looked at Ye Xuan.

In that moment, Zhou Zihuang understood much.

Zhou Zihuang started to laugh, nodding his head, "I understand now."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly in return.

Neither of them spoke explicitly.

After Zhou Zihuang left, Ye Xuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

It had to be said, his father-in-law still had some ideas.

But just as Ye Xuan had said, without strength, what good would knowing the truth do?

Impotent rage?

That would just add to the troubles.

...

In the following time, Emperor Immortal Sect was in an excited state.

With an enormous influx of resources, Emperor Immortal Sect’s finances climbed to another level.

However, Ye Xuan still said not to recruit new disciples for the time being, unless they were exceptionally talented.

First, the overall level of Emperor Immortal Sect needed to be raised.

With guidance from three old fellows of Immortal King Hall, everyone in Emperor Immortal Sect made rapid progress.

Simultaneously, the battle was not yet over.

Ning Zongtang was still in charge.

Zhou Zihuang, along with Hua Yunzhang, Hua Tianqiong, and Cao Jianchun, went to settle accounts with Heavens Cloud Divine Sect.

Mu Baicheng led Lv Tiangang and Zhou Chaolong to confront Canghai Sect.

The scores had to be settled one by one.

Take it slow, there was no rush.

Yet Emperor Immortal Sect’s ambition to expand was clearly revealed.

When the many great powers of the Southern Domain saw the bared fangs of Emperor Immortal Sect, they all felt somewhat uneasy.

Previously, Emperor Immortal Sect only gave them a sense of frailty.

But now, Emperor Immortal Sect had the air of a Great Emperor Immortal Sect.

For a moment, some sects that had kicked Emperor Immortal Sect when it was down felt threatened.

Some sects even took the initiative to apologize to Emperor Immortal Sect for fear of a post-autumn reckoning.

However, Emperor Immortal Sect didn’t fuss over these minor grudges and magnanimously accepted these apologies.

Thus, Emperor Immortal Sect’s position as the overlord of the Southern Domain was finally secured.

The three great powers of the Sky Blue Mountain Range were the first to submit to the feet of Emperor Immortal Sect, offering tribute proactively.

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

But Ning Zongtang remained highly vigilant at all times.

Because Ning Zongtang was waiting for Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

He was well aware that within Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, there were even more powerful beings.

With so many people dead from Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, he believed that given their temperaments, they would not let it go easily.

So, Emperor Immortal Sect was sure to face another battle.

Only after that battle, could there be real stability!

No!

Even after that, they might still have to confront the colossal presence of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!

Grasping the Divine Sun Sword in his hand, Ning Zongtang then glanced at the Divine Sun Sword in Zhou Youwei’s hand, his eyes shining with a peculiar light.

"Remarkable!"

Even with Ning Zongtang’s experience, he couldn’t help but marvel at the miraculous nature of the mirror in Ye Xuan’s possession.

In these few days, with abundant resources, the first thing Ye Xuan did was to use the Thousand Mysterious Mirror to replicate another Divine Sun Sword.

Zhou Youwei looked at the two identical Divine Sun Swords and had her eyes opened too.
