The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 919 - 916, Day 2

On the fifth day, brilliant rays of light rose from the entrance of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, dispersing all the mist and forming a path leading to the land.

The scene stirred a group of powerful overlords.

They vaguely guessed that the Dao Chu Ancient Land was about to open!

On the Immortal Mountain of the Shaking Light Ancient Sect.

Yao Yueqing woke up slowly, feeling a bit heavy in her chest. She opened her eyes gently, finding the sunlight slightly dazzling and instinctively raised her hand to shield it.

Yao Yueqing sat up, realizing she had been lying on the ground.

Beside her lay a Black Robe youth, none other than Ye Xuan.

Yao Yueqing’s face turned pale immediately, she instinctively crossed her arms over her chest and kicked at Ye Xuan, shouting coquettishly, "You rogue!"

Boom!

However, the kick not only missed Ye Xuan but instead was bounced off by an invisible force.

Yao Yueqing stood up in a distressed state, her teeth grinding with hatred and anger, looking at the sleeping youth and cursing under her breath, "You Ye Xuan! I kindly helped you, yet you take advantage of others!"

Ye Xuan, who was dreaming, sensed something different, he slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at the embarrassed Yao Yueqing in the distance, raising an eyebrow slightly, "What happened?"

Yao Yueqing gritted her teeth and replied, "What happened? Don’t you know what you’ve done?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Yao Yueqing and knew she must have misunderstood, but he didn’t care to explain, calmly saying, "Since the injuries are healed, then get ready, the Dao Chu Ancient Land is going to open."

Although in the state of Sleeping Spring and Autumn, Ye Xuan was fully aware of the Dao Chu Ancient Land anomaly.

In two days, the Dao Chu Ancient Land would officially open.

"You?!" Yao Yueqing was furious seeing Ye Xuan not even intending to apologize and still asking for her help.

Ye Xuan slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and chuckled a bit, "What are you talking about? You think I, Ye Xuan, would take advantage of you while you fainted?"

"I’m sorry, if I wanted to do anything with you, it would be when you’re awake."

These words made Yao Yueqing’s face alternately red and white.

Still, after hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yao Yueqing secretly checked herself, confirming what Ye Xuan said was true; he hadn’t taken advantage of her.

This made Yao Yueqing relax a little.

If Ye Xuan had really ruined her, she wouldn’t know what to do.

Looking at the youth who seemed younger than her, Yao Yueqing snorted lightly, "Even if I misunderstood you, don’t think I’ll warm up to you, you’re just too bad at talking."

Ye Xuan glanced at Yao Yueqing, not bothering to argue with the little girl.

Just then, the void suddenly flickered.

Following that, four figures appeared before Ye Xuan.

"Master."

"Young Lord."

They were Qiankun Ancestor, East Desolate Wolf, Ao Rulong, and Xu Zhengtao.

Yao Yueqing was startled.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "Got everything?"

"As entrusted by Master." Qiankun Ancestor smiled, presenting three different Saint Papers.

Clearly, the four had reunited before and handed all the Saint Papers to Qiankun Ancestor, now presenting them together to Ye Xuan.

"Get prepared to enter the Dao Chu Ancient Land in two days." Ye Xuan stored the Saint Papers and said.

"Yes!" The four respectfully accepted the order.

Ao Rulong and Xu Zhengtao showed some signs of tension on their faces.

For the two, the Dao Chu Ancient Land still held immense intimidation.

But Qiankun Ancestor and East Desolate Wolf showed no fear.

Qiankun Ancestor had seen many storms alongside Ye Xuan in the past, so though the Dao Chu Ancient Land was scary, it didn’t frighten him.

East Desolate Wolf, purely a rash man, seemed even bolder now under Ye Xuan’s command, thinking nothing could harm him when in Ye Xuan’s presence.

After the four retreated, Yao Yueqing frowned, "Do I have to enter the Dao Chu Ancient Land again?"

The previous experience still left her quite frightened.

If not for Ye Xuan’s quick actions, she might have already fallen there.

Yao Yueqing didn’t really want to risk it again.

"Afraid?" Ye Xuan smiled.

Yao Yueqing snorted lightly, "It’s not about fear; entering would mean I helped you, but I get no gain, and if anything happens, I’ve no one to blame."

Ye Xuan replied softly, "This time, regardless of success or failure, I’ll help you break through to the sixth layer of the Shaking Light Technique."

Yao Yueqing eyed him, pouting, "I’m only at the fourth layer now, are you sure you’re not talking about the fifth layer?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, "It’ll be the sixth layer."

Yao Yueqing was surprised, "Really?"

Ye Xuan said, "I, Ye Xuan, always keep my word."

Yao Yueqing chuckled and said, "Even if you say that, it doesn’t change anything; though I didn’t want to go, with the orders from the Ancient Ancestor, I’ll still go with you. Hearing you say all this makes me feel better."

"I’ll go rest now, let me know when we’re setting off."

With that, Yao Yueqing waved to Ye Xuan and turned to head down the mountain.

Ye Xuan watched Yao Yueqing leave without saying much.

He disliked boasting; since he promised to help Yao Yueqing reach the sixth layer of the Shaking Light Technique, he would ensure she did.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the brilliant path to the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

The mist dispersed to the sides, and the bright path led straight to the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

This was the ninth automatic opening of the Dao Chu Ancient Land since ancient times.

But this didn’t mean those reaching the end would be more.

In fact, it remained the same.

Upon entering the Dao Chu Ancient Land, the ten dangerous trials still stood.

Any trial could lead to one’s death.

Each trial had Great Emperor remains...

Starting from the first trial, Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land, and through Lantern Sea, Empty Ancient City, Crow Grave, Futian Ridge, Divine’s Nest, Bronze Palace, Soul Valley, Chaos Ancient Dao, and finally to the Returnless Bridge.

Each dangerous trial was terrifying to the extreme.

Just as Northern Yao Divine Martial Art said, those truly reaching Dao Chu Cliff have been less than ten throughout history.

Ye Xuan had entered eight times and exited eight times.

"This time, there should be more deaths than before."

Ye Xuan whispered lightly.

————

The anomaly of the Dao Chu Ancient Land caused various sects guarding the area to continuously dispatch strong members and arrive, Saint Realm Great Masters kept coming.

Not to mention others, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect alone, besides Gu Qianqiu, dispatched Supreme Elders level old monsters.

Additionally, the Confucian families, Kong Family and Xun Family also sent their strong members to the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Heavenly Master Dao sent out four Great Heavenly Masters and eight lesser Heavenly Masters; each arrived carrying a sword, bringing even their most outstanding female disciple of this generation, Zhang Jingtong.

The old monsters of Zongheng Sect also gathered on the mountain.

All were waiting for the Dao Chu Ancient Land to open.
