The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 752 - 749: Insignificant as Dust

Chapter 752: Chapter 749: Insignificant as Dust

————

Outside the nine passes of the Sword Tomb, snowstorms connected the sky and earth.

The icy chill penetrated to the bone.

It was even more astounding than when they had arrived.

Ye Xuan and his party of five trudged through the wind and snow.

They had arrived yesterday morning and now, by dusk, they were leaving.

In just one short day, it seemed as if nothing had happened, yet many things had occurred.

The shocks within the Sword Tomb aside, the turmoil outside in the East Desolation was as tumultuous as the surging sea.

"Youwei, send a message to your father-in-law, asking him to speak to Li Kuangtu on my behalf, to make a trip to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and say that the scheduled battle will be postponed by one month," Ye Xuan said slowly.

"Alright," Zhou Youwei acted as instructed.

She knew that Ye Xuan now needed to start dealing with the Five Dominators of East Desolation and the Divine Dragon Azure Sea, which would take some time.

And the battle with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect which was originally set for three days later.

Clearly, there was no way to make it on time now; it could only be delayed by a month.

At the former site of the Yunxiao Sect in the Southern Domain, a Transmission Array leading to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect still existed, which could be used to reach the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

Currently, as the Emperor Immortal Sect was in an overall state of ascendance, everyone was busy; only Li Kuangtu, who was guarding the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, had some free time. It was only natural to entrust this task to him.

"Xinyu, throw this item on Zhongxuan Mountain and tell the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect to get out of Zhongxuan Mountain within ten days, or face extermination," Ye Xuan handed a Revenge Talisman to Qiao Xinyu and commanded.

"Yes, Young Master!" Qiao Xinyu took the Revenge Talisman and promptly started to act.

Seeing this, Song Qilin couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling terrified by Ye Xuan.

That was the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect...

Although he was aware of Ye Xuan’s formidable strength, it was unlikely to be equal to a confrontation with the entire Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect.

"Song Qilin, this matter does not concern the Li Mountain Sword Pavilion, and your journey to the Sword Tomb is now over. Once we leave the Northern Land, you can depart on your own," Ye Xuan said in a gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Song Qilin hesitated but ultimately spoke up, "Young Master Ye, do you truly intend to confront the Five Dominators of East Desolation head-on?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Song Qilin and slowly responded, "What do you think?"

Song Qilin stopped in his tracks and said solemnly, "Young Master Ye, although I don’t know the extent of your background or what ace you hold up your sleeve, I still want to advise you that whether it’s the Five Dominators of East Desolation or the Divine Dragon Azure Sea, they’re legacies of extreme antiquity. You’re certain to suffer greatly by proceeding this way!"

"Song Qilin!" Huang Yue snapped sharply and softly added, "Don’t forget, your advancement in Sword Heart was because this senior brought you to the Sword Tomb. It’s not your place to lecture on how he handles his affairs!"

Even though he and Song Qilin were friends, on this matter, he was decidedly on Ye Xuan’s side.

Not just because Ye Xuan was his senior, but also because he knew Ye Xuan’s background was far beyond what Song Qilin could imagine.

"It’s precisely because I’m grateful to Young Master Ye that I’m speaking up," Song Qilin said stubbornly.

Of course, he knew that his significant improvement was thanks to Ye Xuan.

That’s why he was earnestly advising.

Watching Ye Xuan come to a halt, Song Qilin said earnestly, "Young Master Ye, Qilin is not advising you to abandon your grudges, but rather Qilin believes that a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years; there’s no need to rush for a moment’s satisfaction."

Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, one hand holding Zhou Youwei, and the other reaching out from his pocket, he caught the swirling snowflakes and spoke slowly, "What can you see?"

Song Qilin was taken aback, looked closely, and said, "Snowflakes?"

Ye Xuan said with measured breath, "Then what do you think these snowflakes are?"

Song Qilin was at a loss for an answer at that moment.

A snowflake is just a snowflake, what else could it be?

But if it was that simple, would Young Master Ye be asking in this manner?

After pondering for a moment, Song Qilin cautiously answered, "Water, ice?"

Ye Xuan lightly flicked his wrist, and the snowflakes stacked on his hand scattered beautifully like mist.

"This is snow, and it is water, it is ice, but it is also an embodiment of countless Great Thousand Worlds."

With that, Ye Xuan left with Zhou Youwei.

Huang Yue glanced at Song Qilin, who was frozen in place, and followed suit.

Song Qilin, watching the drifting snowflakes and witnessing the vast expanse of wind and snow, murmured to himself, "Each snowflake represents a Great Thousand World?"

Song Qilin couldn’t comprehend the meaning of these words.

Watching the trio of Ye Xuan disappear into the snowstorm, Song Qilin wore a complex expression, making no move to follow.

He didn’t understand the meaning of Ye Xuan’s words, but he could grasp at least one layer within it.

Their paths diverged.

They had no common strategy.

Perhaps his position was too humble to see the vista that Young Master Ye’s gaze encompassed.

"Song Qilin, thanks to Young Master Ye for the enlightenment."

Song Qilin bowed in the direction Ye Xuan had left, and after standing up straight, his eyes clear, he chose a different direction to proceed.

He indeed had no right to instruct Ye Xuan in anything.

Although he meant well.

After all, he didn’t understand Young Master Ye at all.

————

"Husband, do you mean that everything in this world is like a Great Thousand World?"

Zhou Youwei looked thoughtfully at Ye Xuan.

Huang Yue, standing behind her, also looked towards Ye Xuan.

To tell the truth, he too found that statement rather ambiguous.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said in a measured tone, "Just imagine for a moment, what is our existence in comparison to the East Desolation Domain?"

"As insignificant as dust," Zhou Youwei answered truthfully.

Huang Yue nodded; he thought the same.

"Then, what is the existence of East Desolate and even Daozhou compared to the Xuanhuang Great World?" Ye Xuan asked again.

Both were momentarily silent.

East Desolate is vast, and so is Daozhou, but what are they when compared to the complete Xuanhuang Great World?

Perhaps, they are just specks of dust.

Ye Xuan looked off into the distance and spoke calmly, "In the future, you will understand that a speck of dust is also a Great Thousand World."

"And in the palm of our hands, there are also countless Great Thousand Worlds."

In the span of our palms, there are countless Great Thousand Worlds!

How terrifying is that?

Unfortunately, Huang Yue and Zhou Youwei were far from understanding this now.

Why did Ye Xuan say these words to Song Qilin?

There is an old saying.

How can a sparrow understand the ambitions of a swan?

All the more so since Ye Xuan was not a swan, but a Kunpeng that could pierce the Nine Heavens and traverse the Netherworld.

For Ye Xuan, Song Qilin wasn’t even on the level of a sparrow.

Was an ant advising an eagle on how to behave?

It was ridiculous and self-delusory.

After a moment, Huang Yue said softly, "Senior, actually, Song Qilin meant no harm."

As a friend, he felt that although he stood by Ye Xuan, he should still speak up for his friend.

Otherwise, he would feel quite unsettled.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I know."

Huang Yue let out a sigh of relief, as long as the senior was not angry, all was well.

Boom!

Just then, all the wind and snow around them came to a halt.

It was as if time and space had frozen.

Huang Yue’s pupils shrank abruptly.

Within the snowstorm, a burly old man appeared, his body emitting an overwhelming aura of slaughter.

"Young Master Ye," greeted the burly old man with a grin.

"Your strike was a bit slow," said Ye Xuan, with an almost humorous tone.

"I saw a pity of a Sword Dao talent fall at the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, got a bit irritated, killed three men, and then went to see an old friend, so I was delayed on the road," the burly old man explained.

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Zhou Youwei.

A touch of sorrow appeared in Zhou Youwei’s eyes.

She knew who the Sword Dao talent the old man was talking about.

Sword Saint, Ning Zongtang.

"The affair of Old Ning was his own decision," Ye Xuan spoke gently.

"Eh? Young Master Ye knows him too?" the burly old man was taken aback.

Ye Xuan gave the burly old man a sidelong glance and said indifferently, "You’ve been around, and you didn’t bother to inquire about my identity?"

The burly old man chuckled awkwardly, "I didn’t dare to."

What a joke; there had been people from the Black Blade Sect of the Revenge Lineage following Ye Xuan; inquiring about his information was asking for trouble...

"I am the Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect," Ye Xuan stated unhurriedly. "And also a son-in-law."

"Eh?" The burly old man was instantly astonished, then he quickly said, "I have taken the body of Ning Zongtang out and had it sent back to the Emperor Immortal Sect."

The burly old man ultimately did not mention the fate Ning Zongtang’s body met at the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, considering Zhou Youwei’s feelings.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke slowly, "Tell those of the Coffin Carrying lineage of Xiling to bring a Sword Coffin and an old wooden coffin to Zhongxuan Mountain in ten days."
