The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 942 - 939 Piyun Village

Chapter 942: Chapter 939 Piyun Village

In the distant land of Heavenly State, there is a prosperous mountain village named Piyun Village.

In ancient times, Piyun Village was merely a small mountain village.

However, due to its proximity to the Cultivation Sacred Land, Piyun Holy Mountain, it was not uncommon to witness flying cultivators nearby.

Sometimes, when cultivators fought, their battles would affect Piyun Village, causing many villagers to lose their lives.

Ming Jing and A Lian were orphans from Piyun Village.

Why were they orphans? Because their parents died as a result of the battles between those cultivators.

Their fates had much in common, and naturally, they came together and pledged their lives to each other.

Until one day, they witnessed Piyun Village being half-destroyed due to a battle between two cultivators. At that moment, they vowed to become cultivators themselves.

But due to the plight of Piyun Village, they held no fondness for the nearby Piyun Holy Mountain and decided to travel afar to renowned mountains and rivers to seek masters and learn skills, aspiring to become cultivators.

However, both had low talents, and the sects were reluctant to take them in.

For livelihood, the young girl A Lian worked at a tavern washing dishes, while the young boy Ming Jing traveled around seeking opportunities, eventually obtaining the heritage left by a Loose Cultivator in the Prince Realm, thus accidentally becoming a cultivator.

Upon gaining this news, the young boy Ming Jing immediately brought the news to the young girl A Lian, only to find that due to accidentally breaking the dishes, the girl A Lian was beaten by the tavern manager.

The young boy raised his crown in anger for the beauty.

The outcome was tragic; if not for the girl A Lian’s desperate pleading, the young boy would have nearly been beaten to death.

The journey for the young boy and girl was not easy, and one could say it was extraordinarily arduous.

Everyone in this world has their own story.

The story of young Ming Jing and young A Lian can largely be summarized by what A Lian once said.

In those years as Loose Cultivators,

there were two words — very tough.

Yet it was these two Loose Cultivators who changed the fate of Piyun Village.

After making a name for themselves in the Cultivation World, they immediately returned to Piyun Village.

Whatever good things they acquired, they would bring back to Piyun Village to share with everyone.

To the young boy and girl, Piyun Village was their home, and they were raised on the meals of many families.

In their childhood, the elderly often said that when you grow up and succeed, never forget your roots.

The naturally kind-hearted young boy and girl did not despise their own Piyun Village for having traveled long roads or seeing high skies. On the contrary, they remembered all the words they heard when they were little.

They even made a pact that in the future, if one of them died first, the survivor must bring the other’s body back to Piyun Village to erect a grave.

If they couldn’t recover the body, they would erect a cenotaph.

At first, it was years of hardship and happiness.

One day, they learned that the most terrifying Forbidden Ancient Land in Daozhou Land, Dao Chu Ancient Land, was about to open, and Ming Jing decided to go seek a chance. After contemplation, A Lian decided to accompany Ming Jing.

They both understood clearly that their foundations were not strong, and only through life-and-death battles in desperate situations and the opportunities bestowed by heaven could they tread further on the path of cultivation.

They didn’t expect that this journey would mean separation by life and death.

That time, Ming Jing obtained nothing but lost the most important person in his life.

Returning to Piyun Village, he lapsed into despair for three years.

He erected a cenotaph for A Lian.

Since then, he became silent and reserved.

It wasn’t that he spoke less, but because his goals became more resolute.

He wanted to become stronger, strong enough to overturn the Dao Chu Ancient Land and resurrect A Lian!

This conviction made him ever stronger, and he won the title of the strongest Loose Cultivator.

But every now and then, he would return to Piyun Village, bringing various powerful resources to the villagers, allowing them to become powerful cultivators.

Piyun Village grew ever stronger.

Until the day Ming Jing became a Great Emperor, Piyun Village became the focus of everyone’s attention.

At that time, Piyun Village was no longer the small mountain village swaying in the storm, and in a sense, it was a Great Emperor Immortal Sect.

Despite Ming Jing never joining any sect or establishing his own Dao lineage, Piyun Village was of more significance than that.

On the second day of becoming an Emperor, Ming Jing returned to Piyun Village, settling everything, and after leaving his Emperor Technique and Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers, he only took a Lotus Platform of Ming Jing, a Golden Divine Tree, and a volume of Daoist Collection, and then left the Heavenly State, heading for the Dao Chu Ancient Land in Daozhou!

It shocked All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Becoming an Emperor only to challenge a forbidden land, and such a notoriously dangerous one as the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

Everyone thought the Ming Jing Great Emperor had gone mad.

Only the Ming Jing Great Emperor himself knew what he was going to do.

After that, the Ming Jing Great Emperor never appeared again.

Piyun Village never claimed itself as a Great Emperor Immortal Sect but focused entirely on its own development, keeping to its own small territory.

To this day, because of Piyun Village’s low-key conduct, it has been forgotten by people.

On this day, the Protector of Piyun Village suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of Daozhou Land, tears streaming down his old face.

"Great Emperor, you... have ultimately left, haven’t you?"

————

Beside the Broken Bone Cliff.

Ye Xuan watched as Ming Jing Great Emperor and A Lian disappeared from sight, heaving a soft sigh, but then his lips curled into a smile, saying, "It’s good."

There was a time when he thought Ming Jing’s choice was not wrong, but it certainly couldn’t be called right either.

But judging from today’s outcome, Ye Xuan felt that Ming Jing was right.

Seeing A Lian, for Ming Jing, that was enough.

Ye Xuan’s gaze slowly shifted to the Emperor Corpse.

With the complete dissipation of Ming Jing Great Emperor’s residual thoughts, the golden light on the Emperor Corpse’s body vanished entirely, replaced by swirling chaos around it, looking incredibly daunting.

If word got out about the Emperor Corpse, who knows how many forces would go mad over it.

Ming Jing Great Emperor left his Great Emperor’s body to Ye Xuan.

Not only because Ming Jing Great Emperor wanted to repay Ye Xuan, but because he also sensed the ominous power stirring beneath the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land.

He was aware that Ye Xuan’s current strength was limited and that if he were to truly face that ominous power, calamity might befall.

As his student, he should exert some strength for his teacher.

Ye Xuan fully understood Ming Jing’s thoughts but did not refuse.

He did indeed need this power at the moment.

With the disappearance of Ming Jing’s residual thoughts, the residual Emperor’s Might left here would also gradually fade.

Once it completely dissipated, the power below would erupt, and it would become dangerous then.

Of course, the low-key Piyun Village has now been forgotten.

This day, the Protector of Piyun Village opened his eyes suddenly, looked towards the direction of Daozhou Land, and tears streamed down his face.

"Great Emperor, have you... truly left?"

————

Beside Broken Bone Cliff.

Ye Xuan watched Ming Jing Great Emperor and A Lian disappear from sight, sighed lightly and then eased with a breath, he felt that Ming Jing was right.

As the golden light vanished from the Emperor Corpse following the exit of the Ming Jing Great Emperor and A Lian, chaos began to erupt below, bringing with it an air of danger.

If that golden tree branch wasn’t there, the power would have already burst.

Ming Jing knew very well why he was going.

After that, Ming Jing Great Emperor never appeared again.

In the post-Ming Jing era, Piyun Village did not boast of being the Great Emperor Immortal Sect; instead, they focused on their own small territory’s development.

And now, due to Piyun Village’s low-profile actions, the village has been forgotten.

One day, the Protector of Piyun Village suddenly opened his eyes, looked towards the direction of Daozhou Land, tears streaming down his face.

"Great Emperor, have you finally left?"

————

Beside the Broken Bone Cliff.

Ye Xuan watched as Ming Jing Great Emperor and A Lian disappeared, gently sighed, but felt that Ming Jing’s actions were justified.

In the past, Night Xuan thought that Ming Jing was mistaken, but seeing it now, he acknowledged that Ming Jing was right.

As the golden light on the Emperor’s corpse vanished completely with the disappearance of Ming Jing Great Emperor and A Lian, Ming Jing’s determination became even clearer for Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan slightly pressed the tip of his foot and rose into the air.

This apprentice of Xuantian Saint Heir actually stabbed me in the back!

Which led to a fierce confrontation.

In the frenzy of the battle, someone managed to snatch a branch from the Golden Divine Tree, causing a massive battle.

For this was the only way Ye Xuan knew how to keep these external possessions safe for them.

"Fang Xinyan..."
