The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 350 - 349: The Only One Left, Ye Xuan of the Current Era!

Chapter 350: Chapter 349: The Only One Left, Ye Xuan of the Current Era!

Could today witness the emergence of a third?

The most ancient elder in the Immortal King Hall marveled inwardly.

If that was indeed the case, then no matter what, the Immortal King Hall must spare no effort to take this person in!

He did not realize that the third person in his mind was actually the second...

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd,

Ye Xuan crossed the ninetieth step.

It was also at this moment that Ye Xuan paused for the first time.

"He really made it!"

Upon seeing that scene, everyone was shocked to their core.

"Ninety steps, is it the limit?!"

"So strong!"

At this moment, countless people exclaimed, utterly astounded by Ye Xuan’s legendary feat.

"Could he not reach the very end?" The most ancient elder felt a tinge of disappointment, but then joy quickly followed.

Indeed, if someone truly capable of equalling the founder and the Undying Night Emperor were to appear, that would be too inconceivable.

Furthermore, even if it were only ninety steps, that would still make him the third in all of eternity!

Second only to the founder and the Undying Night Emperor!

Everyone was ready to speak up.

However, at that moment, Ye Xuan continued to step forward.

"What?! He hasn’t reached his limit yet?!"

As Ye Xuan resumed walking, it shocked everyone yet again.

Ye Xuan paid no heed to the surprise of the crowd.

He had paused only to ponder some matters.

Now, he proceeded to the end in one go.

Boom!

Under the stunned gazes of all,

Ye Xuan strode unhesitatingly across ninety-nine steps of the Heavenly Ladder to reach the very end.

There, stood a Bell Tower.

Within the Bell Tower was a sword-shaped bell known as the Immortal King Bell.

At that moment,

The Immortal King Bell, silent for who knows how many ages, suddenly rang out.

Dong————

That single bell toll, originating from Immortal King Mountain, spread with an incredibly terrifying speed.

In that instant,

The entire vast East Desolate could hear it.

The resonant, ear-splitting bell reverberated.

At Immortal King Mountain, everyone bowed reverently at that moment.

"The Immortal King Bell, silent for endless ages, has rung out!"

At this moment, everyone from the Immortal King Hall was stunned.

Even the most ancient elder’s eyes reddened, filled with tears, at this moment.

The sound of the bell seemed to traverse endless centuries.

Long and lingering.

As the echo of the bell faded,

Three hundred and sixty-five million Sword Bells on Immortal King Mountain rang out simultaneously, as if welcoming the return of their master.

Above the Sky Dome, ninety thousand li of purple qi gathered like dragons.

The heaven-shaking phenomenon left people in awe, shocked...

Only Ye Xuan, gazing at the Immortal King Bell within the Bell Tower, smiled faintly.

In times past, someone surmounted ninety-nine steps to the end, the Sword Bell rang out, and it triggered Heaven and Earth Phenomena.

That person, known as the Undying Night Emperor.

Today,

One known as Ye Xuan has come here to ascend the Heavenly Ladder, crossing ninety-nine steps to the very end; the Immortal King Bell tolls, three hundred and sixty-five million Sword Bells chime in unison, welcoming his return.

Immense phenomena rock the ages.

There are two in the world, Ye Xuan being one.

That scene nearly caused countless powers of the Immortal King Hall to kneel.

Looking at Ye Xuan’s silhouette, they felt as though they were witnessing the legendary Immortal King who founded the Immortal King Hall, as if they were seeing the Undying Night Emperor who influenced era after era...

There are two in the world.

Now there are three.

Only one remains.

The present-day Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan, hands in pockets, slowly turned around to face the dazed titans of the Immortal King Hall, smiling faintly, "If it’s not too much trouble, I’ve come to borrow two people."

"Eh?!"

Everyone looked astonished.

Borrow people?!

...

Inside the grand hall of the Immortal King Hall.

All the leaders of the Immortal King Hall were present.

They looked at Ye Xuan sitting there nonchalantly, still finding it hard to believe.

It was this youth, who claimed to be the foolish son-in-law from the Emperor Immortal Sect, who had traversed the ninety-nine steps of the Heavenly Ladder, reaching the end and causing a spectacle that the Immortal King Hall hadn’t seen for countless ages.

Fortunately, the Immortal King Hall had supreme laws that suppressed the anomaly within the hall, preventing the outside world from prying.

Otherwise, at that very moment, the East Desolate would have been shaken to its core.

"You plan to let so many people listen to our conversation?"

Ye Xuan swept his gaze around casually, looking at the Sovereign of the Sect of the Immortal King Hall with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking existences of the Immortal King Hall all had their lips twitching in the dark.

How could they, each one a dominating leader whose command echoed across lands, ever be taken so lightly? Usually, lines of people who wished to meet them stretched for miles, yet when had any of them been looked down upon like this?

But thinking back to the anomaly that Ye Xuan had just caused, they all sighed internally.

Indeed, this guy did have the capital to act so.

Just by the monstrous potential he had demonstrated, his future was bound to be terrifying—not just any kind of terrifying, but one that belonged to the top echelons of this world.

That indeed was the most vexing part.

"You elders may leave us for now," said the Sovereign of the Sect of the Immortal King Hall, a Daoist who appeared to be a young man.

He wore a Daoist robe with the eight trigrams, looking very amiable.

Despite maintaining a youthful appearance, his temples were frost white.

In his presence, one could not sense any intimidating aura; it was as if a common Daoist was sitting there, posing no threat whatsoever to those around him.

This was a manifestation of Returning to the Truth.

Only someone of this high level could exhibit such a demeanor.

Yet upon closer examination, it seemed that the Sovereign of the Sect of the Immortal King Hall was not in a physical form.

It was as if he were a body condensed from the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Such a nearly eerie method was something the Sect Leader of the Immortal King Hall could do with ease.

Under the command of the Sect Sovereign, the leaders of the Immortal King Hall all left the room.

In fact, their stay was partly motivated by a desire to exchange a few words with Ye Xuan and, ideally, to take him as a disciple.

However, Ye Xuan had requested a private meeting with the Sect Sovereign or the emergence of one of their ancient masters.

Unfortunately, all the ancient masters were in deep slumber. Although they could manifest their consciousness, doing so would consume a lot of their lifespan, which was of great importance to them and therefore not feasible for them to appear.

Thus, it was only natural for the Sect Sovereign to step forward to talk.

"Forgive me for not being able to present my true form as I’m at a critical point in my seclusion," the Sect Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall said to Ye Xuan, bowing slightly without making a show of it.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "You’re at least the Sect Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall, why do you still call yourself a mere Daoist?"

Hearing this, the Sect Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall couldn’t help but smile softly, "I am just a cultivator, after all."

This made Ye Xuan purse his lips and say unhurriedly, "Everything about your Immortal King Hall is admirable, but every generation’s Sect Leader appears to be an eccentric, it seems you are no different."

The Sect Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall laughed and asked, "Is Young Master Ye really not considering joining the Immortal King Hall?"

Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let’s not. I can’t stand staying on this Immortal King Mountain all the time."

"Alright then," seeing the response, the Sect Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall did not press any further.

Even if he didn’t, the ancient masters had insisted on taking a disciple, and Ye Xuan had outright refused them just moments before.

The question had been asked more out of reluctance to give up the opportunity.

After all, a genius as astounding as Ye Xuan was truly a one-of-a-kind existence!

Throughout the ages, how many could achieve this?

Beyond that, they had even learned another truth.

The vast purple aura that shocked the Southern Domain wasn’t caused by Zhou Youwei, but by Ye Xuan!

What surprised them was that Zhou Youwei’s Dual Divine Body was also real, not fake!

That meant, within the Emperor Immortal Sect, there were now two unparalleled geniuses.

One was Ye Xuan, and the other was Zhou Youwei.

Even the Sect Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall had to admit that if the Emperor Immortal Sect did not rise to prominence, it would be utterly unreasonable.

He even felt an urge to form a good relationship with the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"How about making a deal with your Immortal King Hall?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

"Young Master Ye, please speak your mind," the Sect Sovereign encouraged.

"You can take Youwei as your disciple, but in return, you need to send three individuals to the Emperor Immortal Sect to teach," Ye Xuan proposed.

"Oh?" The Sect Sovereign raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is this the real reason for Young Master Ye’s visit?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "If it were any other time, you might not agree, but having seen me complete the Heavenly Ladder, you should know that forming a good relationship with me is actually to your benefit, right?"

The Sect Sovereign revealed a hint of a smile and said, "Young Master Ye speaks very frankly."

With a calm demeanor, Ye Xuan spoke in an unhurried pace:

"I won’t beat around the bush with you. You send three people to the Emperor Immortal Sect to teach, and don’t worry about the resources for cultivation; I’ll have someone arrange what they need."

"Afterwards, you can freely take Youwei as your disciple, and I’ve already discussed this matter with her in advance."

"In the future, I can lend a hand to the Immortal King Hall three times."
