Chapter 16 - 15: Undercurrents Stirring, Choosing a Cultivation Technique

Chapter 16: Chapter 15: Undercurrents Stirring, Choosing a Cultivation Technique "Son-in-law is extraordinarily brave and insightful, but the people from Xuansheng Peak won't let this go easily. It's best for son-in-law to stay within Emperor Peak for the time being," one of the protectors cautioned Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan had already regained his senses and had even killed the young prodigy Zhao Wenhai, proving his potential, and as such, he could no longer be treated with the attitude of the past. "For those who do not abide by the Sect's rules, just kicking them out of the Sect would do," Ye Xuan said. The protector, who was about to say something more, suddenly found himself at a loss for words, shook his head with a wry smile, said nothing else, and after clasping his fists with Lu Chengde, all three protectors left. If things were really that simple, the Emperor Immortal Sect would not have any factions at all. "Let's go home," Zhou Bingyi said, pulling Ye Xuan toward Emperor Peak. Lu Chengde followed closely behind, silent. After the trio left, the many disciples of Emperor Peak immediately burst into an uproar. "My heavens, Zhao Wenhai is actually dead!" "Indeed, at the Daoist Platform Realm, to think he would die just like that, his Taoist Platform and Elixir Field both shattered - Ye Xuan's methods are ruthlessly efficient!" "From now on, we must not provoke Ye Xuan. After regaining his senses, this guy is just a freak!" "Zhao Wenhai is dead, who would dare to provoke him now?" "I have a premonition, after today, something big is going to happen in the Emperor Immortal Sect!" "......" While everyone was in heated discussion, Ye Xuan, Zhou Bingyi, and Lu Chengde had already returned to Emperor Peak. At the same time, Jiang Jing also hurriedly returned to Emperor Peak, and immediately sought out Zhou Bingyi to find out what had happened. Zhou Bingyi quickly recounted what had transpired, particularly the details of how Ye Xuan beat Zhao Wenhai to death, which she described vividly and with great emotion. Jiang Jing's face changed dramatically as she listened, and she looked at Ye Xuan standing beside her with disbelief. Today, Ye Xuan had shocked her time and again. To harm Zhao Yulong in the hall, to emerge to treat Zhou Youwei at Mystic Ice Cave Mansion, and to kill Zhao Wenhai with his fists on the Life and Death Platform! Was this the same useless son-in-law?! seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After a series of changes in her expression, Jiang Jing instructed Zhou Bingyi and Lu Chengde to leave. In the hall, only Jiang Jing and Ye Xuan were left. Jiang Jing looked at Ye Xuan and began, "For what you have done for Youwei, thank you." Ye Xuan remained unfazed and slowly said, "I've said it before – I made a move solely because Youwei is my wife. There's no need for thanks." Jiang Jing paused briefly, then looking directly at Ye Xuan, she asked in a grave tone, "Are you really Ye Xuan?" Ye Xuan turned to look at Jiang Jing, his face earnest as he replied, "Mother-in-law, don't you recognize me?" "That's not what I mean," Jiang Jing said, shaking her head slightly, continuing to stare deeply at Ye Xuan as if trying to see right through him. Ye Xuan, shaking his head, responded, "You're asking about why I have such strength after recovering my senses, right?" Jiang Jing nodded lightly. Ye Xuan stood up and walked towards the outside, saying, "Sorry, I can't answer that question for you, but in any case, my current condition is very good. You should not feel that Youwei marrying me is any loss. In time, you'll see that Youwei is the luckiest person in this world because her man is named Ye Xuan!" Jiang Jing watched Ye Xuan's departing figure in a daze, feeling a strange sense of peculiarity. In Ye Xuan, she saw an invincible confidence, a confidence she had never even seen in her own man, the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect. "Strange, strange..." Jiang Jing shook her head and stopped pondering the matter. But then, as if something suddenly occurred to her, she slapped her forehead in annoyance, saying, "No, that's not right - I wanted to ask him about Youwei's Dual Souls issue, how could I forget!" Looking towards the door, Ye Xuan was already out of sight. "Let it be, I'll ask later. Those old fossils in the Southern Domain are thinking of whisking Youwei away; I've got things to do!" Jiang Jing did not linger at Emperor Peak but returned to Mystic Ice Cave Mansion instead. The previous anomaly that covered an expanse of 90,000 miles, accompanied by the sun and moon anomaly, had alerted the entire Southern Domain of the East Desolate Great Domain, and countless old immortals came to visit the Emperor Immortal Sect, intending to take Zhou Youwei away. The ancestors of the Emperor Immortal Sect emerged, blocking those people. However, after today's events, Zhou Youwei had become a hot commodity. Even though these major powers knew that Zhou Youwei was the Holy Daughter of the Emperor Immortal Sect, they still thought about taking her away, which demonstrates the terrifying potential Zhou Youwei possessed. Yet apart from Zhou Youwei, who else knew that all of this was thanks to Ye Xuan? Whether it was the anomaly that spanned 90,000 miles or Zhou Youwei's activation of her Dual Divine Body, it was all because of Ye Xuan! Besides, the matter regarding Zhao Wenhai also caused no small stir within the Emperor Immortal Sect. The famous idiot son-in-law, Ye Xuan, actually managed to kill Zhao Wenhai, who was at the Daoist Platform Realm, and he did it with just one punch. According to the news, Ye Xuan possesses a cultivation of the Reach Profound Third Layer. All this news had greatly shaken the Emperor Immortal Sect. At this time, Ye Xuan returned to his room leisurely. Surprisingly, Lu Chengde, the protector of the Xuansheng Peak, was actually waiting at the door of Ye Xuan's room. Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Lu Chengde hurriedly bowed deeply, "This old servant pays respects to the master." If this scene were to be seen by others, it would undoubtedly shock them to the extreme. Lu Chengde is the protector of Xuansheng Peak, his strength on par with the four Great Protectors, and yet he calls himself an old servant and shows such respect towards Ye Xuan?! Ye Xuan uttered a light 'hmm', saying, "You did well just now at the Life and Death Platform." "Thank you for the compliment, Master!" Lu Chengde said with utmost respect. "I have some things to ask you," said Ye Xuan. "Master, please speak. This old servant will withhold nothing and tell all!" said Lu Chengde. Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, then raising his eyes, he asked, "The Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect demands resources from the Emperor Immortal Sect every three years. How long until the next time they come?" "Replying to Master, at most half a month from now, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will send someone to collect," answered Lu Chengde truthfully. "Half a month, huh..." Ye Xuan muttered softly, a glint of sharpness flashing across his eyes, as he asked again, "Does the Luotian Sacred Land have any connection with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect?" "The Luotian Sacred Land is subordinate to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. The Saint Master of the Luotian Sacred Land, when younger, joined the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, so now he is considered half a disciple of the Sect," Lu Chengde explained. "I see." The corner of Ye Xuan's mouth lifted slightly, finally understanding what game Zhao Yulong was playing. After learning about the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect from Qiu Wenhan, he had been on the alert. Now, after asking Lu Chengde, he already had some plans in mind. "You may leave. I will call you if there's anything," Ye Xuan waved his hand, signaling Lu Chengde to depart. Lu Chengde bowed and left, closing the door behind him. Ye Xuan sat upright on the bed, thinking to himself, "I can't go to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect for the time being. It'll be better to wait until my Taoist Body has somewhat matured." "But, with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect coming for resources in at most half a month, and with Zhao Yulong here stirring trouble, the Emperor Immortal Sect may not be able to handle it." "Whether it's for that little guy Lie Tian, or for my wife, I can't let the Emperor Immortal Sect fall." With that thought, Ye Xuan hesitated no longer. His divine soul stirred, instructing Lu Chengde to find several items for him, which must be taken care of within seven days. Having arranged these matters, Ye Xuan began to contemplate his cultivation. The strength of the Taoist Body was beyond imagination. This also presented a dilemma for Ye Xuan, "Back in the day, possessing that Monster Body, I didn't need to cultivate at all. Now that I have a once-in-eternity Taoist Body, which cultivation technique would be suitable... " Ye Xuan was not lacking in cultivation techniques; he had access to all of the top-tier techniques, but he needed something appropriate. "The Emperor Dao that Lie Tian is cultivating is indeed domineering, but it requires being paired with the Emperor Extreme Saint Body." "The Heavenly Sunset Immortal Technique that Changxi is cultivating is too gentle, even less suitable." "The Ninth Layer Heaven technique that Mu Yun is cultivating is even worse..." Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Do I need to cultivate that particular technique?" He had witnessed countless Great Emperor Immortal Skills throughout eternity, and many of the techniques of unbeatable beings were handcrafted by him. Each Great Emperor Immortal Skill possessed mysterious powers beyond one's imagination. But none of these were the most powerful he had encountered. "Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique..." An ancient and mysterious cultivation technique surfaced in Ye Xuan's mind. Yet Ye Xuan found himself hesitating. "Even the overlord of the burial emperors has never seen this technique, surpassing my own understanding, but ultimately, it is incomplete. Should I cultivate it or not?" As an Emperor Master who had raised countless invincible beings throughout the ages, he was always steady and experienced, never acting rashly. After pondering for an hour, Ye Xuan finally made up his mind. "Damn it, now that I have a once-in-eternity Taoist Body, naturally I need the most powerful technique to go with it." "If it doesn't work out, I'll just switch to another!"
