Chapter 536 - 536 555 Nuwa Palace

536: Chapter 555 Nuwa Palace 536: Chapter 555 Nuwa Palace At this moment!

Ye Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed.

He could fully sense the conflicted emotions of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, yet the proposal Zhen Yuanzi had put forth also gave him pause.

Could it be that he truly had to take the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden as his wife?

Ye Xuan had cultivated for seven thousand years, step by step progressing from a frail youth to his current position as the Heavenly Emperor.

He could say that he never once considered taking a wife and having children.

Even when he had been in the Human World and his mother urged him to marry, he had deflected the matter.

But today, with Zhen Yuanzi playing matchmaker, it was clear that it was not simply about arranging a marriage, but also about bringing him closer to an alliance with the Nuwa Palace.

One must know that the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden is the sole disciple of Nuwa.

Just this status alone could give Ye Xuan aid beyond what he could imagine.

“Ye Xuan, as you have just ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor, the position of the Queen Mother has been vacant for a long time.

I have divined the Heavenly Dao and among the Three Realms, only the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden is qualified to ascend to the position of the Queen Mother of the West.

Now, with you two united, is it not a match made by Heaven?” Zhen Yuanzi spoke persuasively.

“What a joke, I have no interest in the mere position of Queen Mother.”

Suddenly, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden spoke out coldly, her aura once again becoming aloof and icy.

Yet, upon looking at Ye Xuan, her eyes revealed a trace of complexity.

Clearly, Zhen Yuanzi’s suggestion was not without aim, and indeed it was the best solution to this matter.

As the Heavenly Emperor of the Three Realms, Ye Xuan was certainly a worthy match for her, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

If the two were to become husband and wife, indeed it would be a heavenly match.

“Ye Xuan, you have tarnished my purity, yet I cannot kill you.

If you are truly intent on taking me as your wife, come to the Nuwa Palace and personally ask for my hand in marriage from Nuwa herself.

As long as Nuwa agrees to this marriage, I have no objection to becoming your wife.”

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s voice was cold, but upon closer listening, one could detect a slight tremble in it, and her figure transformed into an Escape Light, streaking off into the distance.

Watching the retreating figure of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly and his eyes flickered with contemplation.

To him, the position of the Queen Mother was no great matter.

No matter what, he had violated the purity of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, so taking her as his wife was not unjustifiable.

But the key issue was that Nuwa was a Heavenly Determined Saint, and even though marrying the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden would bring the Nuwa Palace to his side, he felt a deep wariness towards the Saint Nuwa.

Below the Saints, all are mere ants.

The minds of Saints are unfathomable.

This is not merely talk!

Ye Xuan knew himself well; though he was now the Emperor of the Three Realms, he was nothing before a Saint.

If a Saint wished to kill him, it would be but a passing thought.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had only just ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor and had yet to fully control the entire Three Realms.

Whether it was the Chan Sect, the Western Lingshan, or the most mysterious Yama’s Underworld, these were all challenges he must face.

Ye Xuan now had two major tasks: one was his cultivation, and the other was to fully control the Three Realms.

These were the matters he had to attend to at this moment.

Marrying the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was a double-edged sword.

While it seemingly brought the Nuwa Palace to his side, the unpredictable minds of the Saints also meant it was a ticking time bomb.

Just as Ye Xuan was lost in thought, Zhen Yuanzi spoke out with a smile, “Young friend, there is no need for further thought.

This matter will be promoted by me.

I will not sit idly by.

I will personally go to the Nuwa Palace and propose on your behalf, thus facilitating a beautiful union between you and the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.”

Ye Xuan was not a man of indecisiveness.

Having resolved to marry the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, Zhen Yuanzi’s personal visit to the Nuwa Palace to propose was exactly what Ye Xuan desired.

“I thank you, senior.” Ye Xuan bowed in salute.

“Ha ha!”

“If you, young friend, one day become a Quasi-Saint, this would also be considered good karma forged between us.

Why speak of trouble?” Zhen Yuanzi smiled lightly and with a single step, vanished from Ye Xuan’s sight.

Heaven and Earth twisted, the Void rippled.

When Zhen Yuanzi left, the entirety of Longevity Mountain also vanished without a trace.

His Quasi-Saint methods were indeed unfathomable, which made Ye Xuan deeply gaze at the disappearing Longevity Mountain.

With one step, he moved toward the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven to return.

…

Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, Nuwa Palace!

Auspicious Qi threaded in thousands, golden light scattered, Immortal Clouds swirled, divine birds danced; a grand golden palace stood erect amidst the Clouds, with various colored halos rippling through the endless Cloudscape.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine white jade steps extended down from Nuwa Palace, the white jade emitting Immortal Light.

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was ascending the white jade staircase, step by step, heading toward Nuwa Palace.

Boom!

Heaven and Earth switched places, space transformed.

Before the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden could react, her eyes tingled slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside Nuwa Palace.

“Sigh!”

A soft sigh echoed within Nuwa Palace, where a phantom figure sat cross-legged at the central position, the aura of Chaos twisting around her.

Without revealing the slightest hint of might, it stirred a feeling of inferiority in others.

Nuwa!

The only female Saint among the six Saints of Heaven and Earth, in bygone days, she attained sainthood through her Heavenly Mending Merit and the creation of humanity with clay, and she is regarded as a supreme existence in the Three Realms.

“Master!”

Teary-eyed, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden knelt down and kowtowed in Nuwa Palace.

“Seven emotions and six desires are hard to traverse; Ye Xuan knows nothing of his past lives or of his past, and even I cannot foresee his future or have any involvement with him.

I should not have allowed you to go to Wuzhuang Temple, yet in the end, I still let you have this karmic tie with him,” Nuwa said with a light sigh.

“Master, had you anticipated this tribulation for your disciple?” The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s face froze, and a trace of bitterness crossed her eyes.

“The matter of emotions is most insoluble.

This Ye Xuan is your emotional tribulation.

Even if I forbid you from going to Wuzhuang Temple, you would still be entwined with him in the future,” Nuwa said with a light sigh.

“Emotional tribulation?”

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden murmured to herself, Ye Xuan’s voice and face appearing in her mind, as a hint of doubt flickered through her eyes.

“Master, this man is utterly shameless and has defiled my pure body.

I wish nothing more than to kill him; how could I harbor feelings for him?” the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden voiced her incomprehension.

“Hate turns to love at its extreme, and love turns to hate at its peak; how can you be clear of what is called love and hate?” Nuwa’s voice came calmly, leaving the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden utterly confused.

Looking at the puzzlement on the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s face, Nuwa shook her head, her voice whispering, “Although Ye Xuan is your emotional tribulation, he is also your benefactor.

If he truly is the Heavenly Determined Seventh Saint, then by his side as a wife, you will ascend to heaven.”

“Heavenly Determined Saint?”

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s complexion changed dramatically, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Nuwa, her entire being falling into a stupor.

“In times past, Hong Jun once said that there would be seven Saint Positions in Heaven and Earth, but despite the passage of endless time, only the six of us lie beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

However, the Seventh Saint remains elusive.”

“If I’m not mistaken, Ye Xuan could very well be the Seventh Saint.

Otherwise, why would I have allowed you to meet him?” Nuwa sighed.
