Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

Gazing at the enormous black mausoleum before him, Xiao Yi was overwhelmed with shock.

Everything he saw was beyond his comprehension.

To construct a mausoleum in the endless starry sky, using the legendary true dragon as walls, and firmly anchoring eighty-one proud suns, what kind of terrifying existence could possess such means?

"The Eternal Celestial Tomb..."

Xiao Yi hesitated before pushing open the great doors of the mausoleum.

The doors seemed to have not been opened for a long time, emitting creaking noises.

Clang!

The gates swung open.

A surge of air burst forth, forming an enormous tornado that whisked past Xiao Yi, shooting out ten thousand miles away, extinguishing stars and dimming the sun and moon in its path.

As everything dispersed, a series of chaotic tombs appeared before him.

"The tomb of the Qingyun Sword Saint, this... Is this the number one swordsman of the Qingtian Realm from eighty thousand years ago, who was known to split heaven with a single sword? Wasn't it said that he vanished after his battle with the Martial God Zhan Wuji? How could he be buried here?"

As far as the eye could see, there were only tombs with names engraved on the steles that shocked Xiao Yi, prompting repeated exclamations, "The tomb of the Grandmaster of Formation, the Double Star Taoist? The tomb of the Medicine Saint Feng Lei? The tomb of the Martial God Zhan Wuji? My God, what is going on? Weren't all of these beings legends who dominated their time and ascended to the celestial realm? They... They are all dead? And buried here? What on earth is happening..."

Whether it was the Qingyun Sword Saint, the Double Star Taoist, or the Martial God Zhan Wuji...

Each of them was a super-powerful being well-known in the Qingtian Realm.

The Qingyun Sword Saint, whose Green Lotus Sword Song dominated all three realms; the Double Star Taoist, who could trap immortals with a wave of his hand in his formations; the Medicine Saint Feng Lei, whose profound alchemical skills were revered; and Zhan Wuji, widely recognized as the Martial God, who withstood the ascension tribulation with his mortal body, dispelling thousands of miles of tribulation clouds with a single punch, capable of annihilating millions of powerful beings.

Besides them, there were many other names that Xiao Yi had never heard of, who, being buried alongside Zhan Wuji, must undoubtedly also be beings of the same caliber.

Yet, such mighty beings...

They had all died?

And were buried in this mysterious mausoleum.

Before this...

He only knew that the reason he had always remained at the Physical Body Realm was due to a mysterious seal inside him that had not been unlocked.

But when the seal was unlocked, what appeared before him was this strange and eerie mausoleum, leaving him uncertain whether to feel joy or sorrow.

"Exactly who built this mausoleum, burying so many powerful beings... And how did it end up within me?" Xiao Yi looked towards the depths of the graveyard. This was merely the outermost area, where the tombs were low and simple, where even the tomb of someone as strong as Zhan Wuji was just a few stones piled up.

The tombs of mighty beings like the Qingyun Sword Saint were nothing more than a mound of yellow soil.

Although the deeper parts of the mausoleum were shrouded in mist, one could still vaguely make out that the deeper into the mausoleum, the tombs became increasingly taller and more extravagant.

Especially at the very center of the mausoleum, where one could faintly see nine pyramid-like golden tombs that stood between heaven and earth like piercing swords, with brilliant golden light radiating from those tombs. As his gaze reached the top of the pyramid, a tomb there infused his brow with an invincible aura that seemed to declare supremacy over all beneath heaven and earth.

"The Divine Enthronement Stele finds its master, the Heaven-Subduing Divine General resumes its position! Subduing the heavens, sealing divinity, and extinguishing immortals!"

At the same time, a voice containing supreme authority sounded within his mind, and a black stele suddenly rose from the ground in front of him.

As the voice fell, countless glyphs and information flooded into his mind, morphing into a scripture of cultivation.

The "Divine Enthronement Heaven Subduing Skill".

"One sand grain, one world; one grass, one universe. Using the body as a tomb, sealing divinity with the tomb, wielding power to subdue immortals, awakening the cells within the body, evolving the God Sealing Seed, absorbing the legacies of the powerful within the celestial tomb, suppressing immortals and sealing gods!"

Boom!

At that moment, Xiao Yi's body shook violently.

Countless natural energies from heaven and earth converged within his body. With a crisp pop, divine light burst forth from him. At this odd moment, Xiao Yi could see his entire body as though he had a God's-eye view, with his body appearing transparent, and the eighty million God Sealing Seeds like stars in the night sky.

At this moment.

One of the stars shed its surface layer of murky film and shone with an incomparably dazzling divine light.

This God Sealing Seed was fully activated, and the surging energy feedback caused Xiao Yi's cultivation to continuously break through.

First Layer of the Physical Body Realm.

Second Layer of the Physical Body Realm.

Third Layer of the Physical Body Realm...

He progressed all the way to the Fifth Layer of the Physical Body Realm before stopping.

At the same time, an inconspicuous tomb in front of him was suppressed in an instant, and the legacy of its inhabitant was absorbed immediately, a cultivation technique named "Eight Extremes Fist," which he mastered on the spot.

"Heaven-Subduing Divine General?"

```

Looking at his continuously advancing body and the legacy that had unexpectedly appeared within, Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with a glint of puzzlement, for he could feel it, an earth-shattering change had taken place in him at this moment, even his mind and nature had undergone a transformation.

It seemed as if he himself were that Heaven Subduing Godly General! With the power to subdue the heavens, proudly looking down upon all existence.

Even the Martial Saints and War Gods appeared so insignificant in his eyes!

And what about his genius brother, Xiao Tianjiao? He was no more than an ant.

This consciousness instantly etched itself deep into his bones!

"Xiao Zhengde, Xiao Tianjiao, you treat me as rubbish, you shame me, you imprisoned me for eight long years. You forced me into an arranged marriage, and even took away my right to pay respects to my own mother... One day, I will return to the Xiao Family, and you will know who the real waste is!"

With this thought, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a loud noise from outside, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

His eyes opened, and he was in a simple bedroom.

At this moment...

The door had been violently smashed open, half of the broken door panel was lying on the ground, while the other half hung on the door frame creaking, a hulking figure was grabbing the wrist of a slender silhouette, pressing her down on a table, and sneered, "Heh heh, Fang Qingzhu, you pride yourself as the favored lady of heaven and look down on me, huh? Today, I'll force myself upon you right in front of your waste of a husband, and what can you do about it? Hahaha..."

The woman being pressed down on the wooden table had a graceful figure, and although her face could not be seen, her voice was incredibly melodious, like that of an otherworldly fairy, "Fang Ao, my husband is a man of the Xiao Family, dare you touch me?"

"The Xiao Family? If you married Xiao Tianjiao, I would pack my things and flee immediately, not even daring to glance at you. However..."

Fang Ao, tall and burly, with a cultivation that had reached the Fifth Layer of the Physical Body Realm, looked at Fang Qingzhu's stunning face with hot and greedy eyes, "What you married is nothing but the waste that the Xiao Family cast aside. Forget about him being unconscious now—even if he woke up, I would dare to force myself upon you right in front of him!"

Despair and bitterness covered the beautiful face of Fang Qingzhu.

She was the favored daughter of heaven from the Fang Family.

When news spread that Xiao Tianjiao wanted to acquire the Silver Winged Sword Dragon, the Fang Family proposed an alliance through marriage, and everyone thought she would marry Xiao Tianjiao. Even being a lesser, unloved concubine would have elevated the Fang Family's status, making them the number one clan in the Tianqing Kingdom.

For this reason, the Fang Family unanimously chose Fang Qingzhu as the successor to the family head.

However...

Only three days prior, when the unconscious Xiao Yi was delivered to the Fang Family, did everyone realize they had been tricked.

The two families indeed had a matrimonial alliance.

But the bridegroom was not Xiao Tianjiao, but Xiao Yi, the waste expelled from the Xiao Family's clan records.

What's more...

Xiao Tianjiao, worrying about a wife overpowering her husband, had Fang Qingzhu's dantian destroyed, claiming concern that Xiao Yi would be at a disadvantage in the Fang Family. Fang Qingzhu, a woman of heavenly favor and peak Qi Gathering Realm cultivator at eighteen, was reduced to a cripple on her wedding day.

Together with Xiao Yi, they were truly a couple of wastes.

The Fang Family not only lost the Silver Winged Sword Dragon but Fang Qingzhu, their favored daughter of heaven, was also reduced to a cripple because of Xiao Yi.

In the end, they got nothing but a discarded waste of a son-in-law from the Xiao Family, turning the affair into a colossal joke in Nanhuang.

In a fit of rage, the head of the Fang Family threw Xiao Yi out to this small courtyard, left unattended.

Only Fang Qingzhu was there to take care of him.

Whenever Fang Ao thought about how he had schemed to pursue Fang Qingzhu, only to be repeatedly rejected, whilst she willingly took meticulous care of Xiao Yi, the one responsible for her dantian being destroyed, for three days and nights, he couldn't help but feel enraged, gritting his teeth and asking, "Fang Qingzhu, what are you really after by doing this?"

Lying on the bed, Xiao Yi heard the conversation between the two and his body involuntarily shook.

He was very aware of the reason Xiao Tianjiao had destroyed Fang Qingzhu's dantian. In Xiao Tianjiao's eyes, Xiao Yi was a waste, and his woman could only be a waste too, regardless of Fang Qingzhu being innocent and uninvolved. He was adamant about ruining her.

Because he would not allow Xiao Yi to have even the slightest chance of escaping the identity of a waste.

What he didn't expect, however...

Was Fang Qingzhu's decision.

Far from resenting him, she actually took great care by his bedside for three days and nights.

You have to understand.

Fang Qingzhu had just had her dantian destroyed and was in a period of weakness herself.

What was she really after by doing this?

Not even Fang Ao understood, and Xiao Yi was full of doubts as well.

Apparently realizing she could not break free, Fang Qingzhu stopped struggling. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and although her voice was soft, her stance was resolute, "To follow the husband like the hen follows the rooster, the dog follows the dog... Now that I have married Xiao Yi, we are husband and wife..."

"What a fine saying—to follow the husband... You'd rather suffer with this waste than be with me? Very well, I will, right in front of him, make you..."

Fang Ao's face contorted with fury as he roared.

But before he could finish his words, he heard a cold voice from behind, "If you don't want to die, I suggest you stop!"
