The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 557 - 556: Sacrificial Refinement

Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Sacrificial Refinement

Looking at the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder in his hand, Ye Xuan was reminded of many past memories.

"This blade is quite suitable for Youwei, I will give it to her when we meet at Hengduan Mountain."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and retracted his thoughts.

Though the blade was powerful, it was not the perfect match for him.

Unfortunately, his current strength was still far from enough to retrieve the Lifebound True Device of his past.

That Lifebound True Device, was regarded as a unique and terrifying artifact, unrivaled by any in the world.

Even Ye Xuan, once known as the Undying Night Emperor and the Forbidden Land God, had spent long years to subdue and refine it into his Lifebound True Device across endless ages.

From the beginning, Ye Xuan never intended to use this Narrow Blade Winter Thunder himself; instead, he planned to give it to his wife, Zhou Youwei.

To outsiders, Zhou Youwei was a peerless genius, possessing an extremely terrifying talent in the Sword Dao and now wielding such divine swords as the Divine Sun Sword, formidable to a terrifying extent.

But actually, Ye Xuan could see that Zhou Youwei was not only a Sword Dao prodigy but also a genius of the Blade Dao.

With her Dual Souls, one blade and one sword, she could be called invincible.

From the start, Ye Xuan had intended to cultivate his wife into a unparalleled Empress.

The Divine Sun Sword paired with the Fiery Sun Divine Body, the Winter Thunder Blade matched with the Mystic Ice Divine Body.

With this, Zhou Youwei’s strength would surge dramatically!

Ye Xuan secured the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder, waiting for the three to finish treasure hunting.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the three returned to Ye Xuan, their complexions rosy and seemingly very excited.

Clearly, all three had found what they were looking for.

"Let’s go," Ye Xuan said without asking further, and took the lead in leaving the ancient cave.

The three followed him out without delay.

Once the four of them left the ancient cave, the black door shut, and the void returned to its previous state, completely concealing any evidence that a huge black Divine Gate had ever appeared there.

Mo Shenchuan and Yun Chui silently took the key and left with Ye Xuan.

Soon, everyone returned to Mo Family Divine City.

"Greetings to Mr. Ye, the two elders, and the family head."

As soon as they returned to Mo Family Divine City, Yun Chui’s confidant, Mo Long, came forward.

"What is it?" Yun Chui nodded slightly.

"Reporting to the family head, Mo Yunli’s family head succession ceremony will be held tomorrow. Three hundred twenty-eight top forces from East Desolate have entered Chunnan Mountain, and more top forces from East Desolate will come to observe the ceremony tomorrow. Should we cancel the event..." Mo Long tentatively asked.

This matter had been prepared by Mo Long to report to Yun Chui, but since Yun Chui was discussing important matters with Ye Xuan, Mo Long had not mentioned it. Now that Yun Chui was free, Mo Long came forward to report.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chui replied calmly, "Since they are all here, let the ceremony proceed as planned tomorrow, and let those overly ambitious fools see if this new ’family head’ of Mo family can surprise them."

"Yes!" Mo Long respectfully took the order and stepped back.

Generally, whether it’s an Overlord of East Desolate or a top-tier force, many major forces are invited to observe when changing helmsmen.

The purpose is to showcase strength and also to notify the world that the new helmsman is such-and-such, and one should recognize this new leader in future dealings.

When Yun Chui succeeded as the family head years ago, a grand ceremony was also held.

This time, the main character should have been Mo Yunli, but unfortunately, he offended someone he should never have—Ye Xuan—so the main character of this ceremony became Yun Chui.

Having two succession ceremonies in one lifetime, Yun Chui considered this a fulfillment of his duty.

"Mr. Ye, you have worked hard today; perhaps you should rest here in Mo Family Divine City for a while," Yun Chui said to Ye Xuan, speaking respectfully.

"Hmm," Ye Xuan nodded slightly, not refusing the offer.

He had obtained the artifact Liu Shu and still needed to refine it, and Mo Family Divine City was just the place for it.

"Excellent," Seeing Ye Xuan agree, Mo Shenchuan and Mo Shanhu also showed joy on their faces.

After witnessing the incredible capabilities of Ye Xuan, they too wanted to cling to his powerful coattails.

Thus,

Mo Yunchui personally arranged for Ye Xuan to stay in the Mo Family Divine City, providing him with a top-notch Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

The four companions of Ye Dong naturally settled down with Ye Xuan as well.

Meanwhile, within Chunnan Mountain, countless top-tier powers of the East Desolate were still engaged in fervent discussions.

Although they could not see the series of battles that had unfolded in the Mo Family Divine City, they could feel the terrifying power fluctuations emanating from there.

The appearance of those few powers later on was particularly shocking.

No one knew what had happened in the Mo Family Divine City, and the Mo family seemed to have no intention of explaining it.

Some of the East Desolate major powers closely linked to the Mo family quietly inquired among the Mo family’s insiders. The only information they obtained was that something had happened within the Mo family, but specifics were not disclosed.

This only made more people curious about the incident.

After all, tomorrow was the succession ceremony of the Mo family. Once the grand meeting began, the top overlord of the East Desolate would be present.

It was at this critical juncture that internal issues had emerged within the Mo family.

Many people secretly laughed and reveled in their misfortune.

The East Desolate Mo Family was indeed an overlord of the current generation, but many were displeased with them. Seeing the Mo family encounter problems now naturally made them revel in another’s misfortune.

In the resting pavilion within the Purple Mist Sect, Saint Heir Li Jichuan’s eyes narrowed.

For some reason, he couldn’t stop thinking about the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot.

Could it be related to this matter?

"Forget it, this matter of the Mo family has nothing to do with our Purple Mist Sect. I’m just here to watch the drama," Li Jichuan muttered to himself.

"Moreover, I must not miss the Heavenly Pride Festival that takes place before the Mo family’s succession ceremony tomorrow..."

————

At night, Ye Xuan sat alone in the Inner Hall, where the lighting was bright.

The black Liu Shu appeared normal and nondescript as it hovered in front of Ye Xuan.

Yet, Ye Xuan was meticulously refining the Liu Shu.

To others, this Liu Shu was merely an ordinary object, serving no particular purpose.

However, in the hands of Ye Xuan, who was knowledgeable about Liu Shu, this item possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The phrase he had invoked when summoning the Liu Shu described it aptly.

"At the twilight of heaven and earth, forged through endless ages.

Burying the heavens, burying the earth, the Liu Shu."

Just two lines were enough to highlight the terrifying nature of the Liu Shu.

This Liu Shu, derived from the Liu tree, contained its unique power.

In Ye Xuan’s knowledge, the Liu Shu’s existing in the world numbered no more than three.

The one before him was one of those.

It had to be said that Mo Tianxing was indeed blessed with deep fortune in the past.

Regrettably, no one capable of utilizing the Liu Shu had appeared before.

Ye Xuan, was the first!

Hum————

Just then, the Liu Shu suddenly underwent a transformation!

(ps: It seems it has been a while since I spoke to you all. Actually, it’s because the updates have been slow recently; even I am too embarrassed to say anything. Let me tell you, this treatment is estimated to take another two or three days. Please hang in there; I am gathering strength. Our old readers should know that when I burst forth, it’s always vigorous. Hang on a bit longer, and once I’m back, let’s continue to be unstoppable with the unmatched Ye Xuan!)
