The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 679 - 678: Holy Pond, Immortal Body

Chapter 679: Chapter 678: Holy Pond, Immortal Body

Qian Kun’s ancestor stood by, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, seemingly hearing and seeing nothing.

"Is the Holy Pond still there?" Ye Xuan turned to Qian Kun’s ancestor and asked slowly.

"Reporting back to master, the Holy Pond is intact," Qian Kun’s ancestor replied respectfully.

"Hmm," Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "I’ll leave them in your care. You need to look after them well during the following time. I’m going to the Holy Pond."

"Yes, master!" Qian Kun’s ancestor replied respectfully.

"Let’s go, Youwei," Ye Xuan said as he took Zhou Youwei’s hand and flew off.

As for Ye Ling’er and the others, naturally, they were under the watchful eye of Qian Kun’s ancestor.

Within this Qiankun Palace, there were many terrifying creatures, but these were merely creatures that Ye Xuan had collected over the years.

Such as Divine Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilins, and Immortal Cranes, to name a few.

If these creatures were to appear in the outside world, they would most certainly cause an upheaval.

However, in this Qiankun Palace, they were quite common.

And this Qiankun Palace was but one of the many palaces Ye Xuan had during his travels in the past.

Coming to Hengduan Mountain, Ye Xuan had already planned to bring everyone to the Qiankun Palace for cultivation.

Compared to Hengduan Mountain, it was much safer inside the Qiankun Palace.

Moreover, the opportunities to be gained here might not necessarily be lesser than those within Hengduan Mountain.

After all, the Qiankun Palace had stood within Hengduan Mountain for endless years, and the opportunities it harbored were naturally out of the ordinary.

However, Ye Xuan would not leave too many opportunities for everyone.

Some opportunities were too great and would cause their fortunes to be expended more rapidly, which could lead to all sorts of calamities in their future.

The saying goes ’a man is not guilty for carrying jade, but it attracts guilt.’ That’s the rationale behind it.

Sometimes, receiving a great opportunity is not a good thing.

It could, in fact, be a disaster.

These kinds of scenarios were all too familiar to Ye Xuan, and naturally, he did not wish to see them happen to Zhou Bingyi, Ye Ling’er, and the others.

Everything must be measured.

Others might not grasp where this measure lies, but Ye Xuan understood it well.

Leaving everyone in the care of Qian Kun’s ancestor, Ye Xuan flew up into Qiankun Palace with Zhou Youwei, which resembled a Heavenly Palace.

They saw all manner of wonders, too beautiful for words.

After half an hour, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei arrived in front of a pond brimming with boundless Holy Light.

Around the pond, Holy Light surged, emanating an auspicious aura that involuntarily inspired a sense of closeness in onlookers.

There was water in the pond, crystal clear.

It may have looked ordinary at first glance, but upon closer feel, one would realize that this water was not any ordinary water, but rather like a vast sea of stars.

"This is..."

Zhou Youwei sensed the extraordinariness of the pond’s water, her eyes filled with surprise, "Could it be the legendary Star Holy Water?"

She had once read about many legendary items in the ancient scriptures of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Among them were references to the Star Holy Water.

Legend has it that Star Holy Water is indistinct from ordinary springs, but upon careful feeling, one would discover that when Star Holy Water gathers, it becomes a vast sea of stars.

It contains extremely powerful forces and has a hundred uses.

However, obtaining Star Holy Water is very difficult, requiring one to venture to the Outer Domain Starry Sky to collect it.

Sometimes even traversing billions of miles of the starry sky, one might struggle to find a single drop.

But this pond seemed to be entirely made of Star Holy Water!

"This is not Star Holy Water," said Ye Xuan with a slight smile, speaking softly, "This is called Star Infinite Water, which you can consider to be a level above Star Holy Water."

"Star Infinite Water?" Zhou Youwei had never heard this term before.

However, what Ye Xuan said next shocked her.

Higher than Star Holy Water?

What sort of existence was that?

To think that even Star Holy Water was a thing of legend, and now there was something even higher—the Star Infinite Water!

Zhou Youwei naturally did not know that Star Infinite Water was actually refined from Star Holy Water.

But in fact, it might take ten thousand cubic meters of Star Holy Water to refine a single drop of Star Infinite Water.

She also did not know that this pond of Star Infinite Water was brought back by Ye Xuan from a distant starry sky in a remote realm many years ago.

Ye Xuan had no intention to say more about the Star Infinite Water and quietly said, "Cultivate in seclusion here for a year, and you will be able to forge a Dual Saint Body."

"In the future, I will help you achieve the Dual Immortal Body," Ye Xuan said as he looked toward Zhou Youwei, a slight smile on his face.

"Dual Sacred Body, Dual Immortal Body..." Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes lit up, but then immediately a touch of melancholy surfaced. She looked at the pool filled with Star Infinite Water and let out a sigh.

Turning back to Ye Xuan, she said with declining spirits, "Husband, I’m a little scared."

Since entering the Qiankun Palace, she felt more and more distant from Ye Xuan.

The things that Ye Xuan knew had completely surpassed her understanding.

She felt that the two of them were simply not from the same world.

This feeling made her perceive Ye Xuan as if he were far away at the ends of the Earth, even when he was right beside her.

She was scared.

Scared that she might not be able to keep up with Ye Xuan’s pace in the future.

Scared that Ye Xuan would leave.

"Fool..." Ye Xuan reached out and took hold of Zhou Youwei’s jade hand. His black eyes were profoundly deep, exuding an inexplicable allure as he spoke soothingly, "What’s there to be afraid of with me here?"

Zhou Youwei bowed her head, speaking despondently, "Actually, I can feel that you carry a lot on your shoulders, facing many terrifying enemies, enemies far scarier than the East Desolate Ten Dominators."

"The things I promised to deal with after the final battle with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, the words I told Youwei about overestimating oneself and acting within one’s limits, I understand now they were just a way for you to speak."

"You hope that one day, Youwei will know when to retreat in the face of difficulty, rather than..."

Before Zhou Youwei could finish, Ye Xuan interrupted her, "That day will never come."

"Because, Youwei has always been strong and will become even stronger!" he said to Zhou Youwei earnestly, pausing with every word.

"No, that’s not what I meant." Zhou Youwei shook her head continuously, teardrops falling as she spoke with tear-filled eyes, "I’m just afraid that you might leave one day."

At that moment, Ye Xuan’s heart trembled ever so slightly.

It turns out.

He had become everything to her.

Ye Xuan wrapped his arms around Zhou Youwei and whispered, "It’s okay, from the day I regained consciousness, have you ever seen me defeated?"

"Remember this, your man Ye Xuan is invincible!"

They embraced each other.

Who knows how long passed before the two separated and sat by the Holy Pond, gazing at the starry sky above, sharing amusing stories.

Zhou Youwei’s mood had stabilized.

She had always been strong in the face of others.

Perhaps this was the first time she cried in front of someone.

But having someone by her side was indeed quite nice.

As they spoke, the conversation returned to the matter of the Holy Pond.

Turning her head towards Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei asked curiously,

"By the way, husband, did you say I need to cultivate in the Holy Pond for a year? Isn’t the Hengduan Mountain only open for a month?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Haven’t you noticed that time flows differently here?"

Zhou Youwei was startled; this she had not noticed.

Ye Xuan continued, "A year here is roughly equivalent to a month in the outside world. By the day your Dual Sacred Body is perfected, the timing will be just right."

"So that’s how it is," Zhou Youwei exclaimed in surprise.

"Back in the day at the Zhongxuan Mountain, the Emperor Immortal Sect also had a similar secret realm for the use of its most talented disciples," Ye Xuan said softly.

"Zhongxuan Mountain..." Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes hardened.

The glorious place of the Emperor Immortal Sect, one day, the Emperor Immortal Sect would return there.

"Right, it is said that the peak of Physique is the Sacred Body, so what exactly is this Immortal Body you speak of?" Zhou Youwei shifted from the matter of Zhongxuan Mountain to inquire about the topic of physique.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and explained, "The end of a common Physique indeed leads to the Sacred Body, but the Immortal Body beyond it can only be obtained by birth, and cannot be cultivated."

"There are nine kinds of Immortal Bodies in the world, Yin, Yang, Life, Death, Purity, Dark, Time, Void, and Power."

"Yin is the Taiyin Immortal Body, Yang is the Taiyang Immortal Body, Life is the Evergreen Immortal Body, Death is the Silent Annihilation Immortal Body, Purity is the Purity Immortal Body, Dark is the Dark Immortal Body, Time is the Heavenly Time Immortal Body, Void is the Void Immortal Body, Power is the Eternal Immortal Body."

"Unless there is a major change in the world, for nine great Immortal Bodies, only one will reach the pinnacle in an era."

"Usually, only one Immortal Body will be born in an era."

"And the end of your Physique, Youwei, is the Taiyin Immortal Body and the Taiyang Immortal Body."

"The power of the Holy Pond can only help you to first evolve into the Sacred Body."

"To achieve the Immortal Body, at the least you need to pass through the Heavenly Human Five Decays."
