The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

"Greetings, Chaos Ancient God!"

The moment the elder appeared, the six ancient gods bowed in unison.

The leader of the ten ancient gods—Chaos Ancient God.

His sudden arrival was completely unexpected.

Especially the six ancient gods, who were entirely unprepared.

Unlike them, the other four ancient gods were often as elusive as the Divine Dragon itself, even the six rarely saw them.

Yet today, the Chaos Ancient God, leader of the ten ancient gods, had come to this place.

Chaos Ancient God ignored the six ancient gods and looked at Ye Xuan.

To be precise, he was looking at the Old Ghost Willow Branch in Ye Xuan's hand.

The piece of black willow stick didn't seem to have anything attractive about it.

But only a truly invincible being could sense the terrifying anomaly contained within.

He had once heard an ancient legend.

It was a legend about a willow tree.

A single willow leaf beheads an Emperor Immortal!

This phrase was that legend.

The Old Ghost Willow Branch in Ye Xuan's hand was from that legendary willow tree!

A subtle change appeared on the eternally unchanging old face of the Chaos Ancient God.

His appearance here was mostly to verify this matter.

Now the fact told him, it was true...

As the Chaos Ancient God assessed the Old Ghost Willow Branch in Ye Xuan's hand, Ye Xuan calmly looked at him and said leisurely, "Are you also planning to submit to this emperor?"

The six ancient gods heard this and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

In this world, perhaps only this guy Ye Emperor dared to say such a thing to the Chaos Ancient God.

Anyone else would be courting death.

Chaos Ancient God withdrew his gaze, sighed after a while, and made a gesture of respect to Ye Xuan, saying, "Ye Emperor, may we speak in private?"

"This?" The faces of the six ancient gods changed slightly.

Ye Xuan waved his hand gently.

Seeing this, the six ancient gods hesitated but eventually retreated to a distance.

Chaos Ancient God observed the scene, knowing that these guys had firmly decided to follow Ye Xuan.

However, this was not a wrong choice.

At least in his view, it was not.

Once the six ancient gods had retreated, Ye Xuan ascended to the heavens, sitting opposite the Chaos Ancient God.

Despite appearing as insignificant as a speck of dust before the Chaos Ancient God, Ye Xuan's aura was no lesser in comparison.

"Speak," Ye Xuan said softly.

Chaos Ancient God gazed deeply at Ye Xuan, then slowly spoke, "Ye Emperor, you have changed a lot..."

"You of the past would never sit down to listen to this old man speak."

Ye Xuan responded with a calm smile, his eyes steady, saying slowly, "As you can see, my strength now is far less than in the past, otherwise, do you think I would waste words with you here?"

Chaos Ancient God was momentarily taken aback, then laughed silently, "In this regard, you haven't changed at all."

"Let's get to business, how did you obtain that piece of the willow branch?"

Chaos Ancient God toned down his amusement, asking earnestly.

Ye Xuan played with the Old Ghost Willow Branch for a while, then looked at the Chaos Ancient God, saying softly, "Before that, I want to hear your perspective on this item."

Chaos Ancient God was unsurprised by Ye Xuan's words. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Legend has it that before the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were born, there was an infinite Great World. Upon its creation, many Taichu Creatures were born, among them a willow tree. Of the legends concerning this willow tree, that phrase is the most prevalent..."

"A single willow leaf beheads an Emperor Immortal."

Chaos Ancient God and Ye Xuan spoke in unison.

Chaos Ancient God looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment, "Ye Emperor, you know this legend?"

Ye Xuan leaned his left elbow on his knee, propped his chin with his hand, and idly played with the Old Ghost Willow Branch with his right hand, responding slowly, "I only know that phrase."

"But regarding what you said, it can only serve as a reference."

"Specifically... it shouldn't be exactly as you said."

Ye Xuan regarded the Chaos Ancient God.

Chaos Ancient God mused, "Then, Ye Emperor, may you enlighten this old man, where did you get this willow branch?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said softly, "Naturally, as you imagined, it comes from that willow tree."

The very appearance of Chaos Ancient God confirmed that this guy had guessed the origin of the Old Ghost Willow Branch; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared here.

Receiving Ye Xuan's answer, Chaos Ancient God's expression gradually became serious as he fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, "Ye Emperor, what do you intend to do with the Divine's Nest?"

Ye Xuan wasn't in a hurry to answer, instead asking, "How many ancient gods originally reside in the Divine's Nest?"

Chaos Ancient God frowned slightly, "What do you mean by this?"

Ye Xuan chuckled, "As far as I know, there are only seven ancient gods in the Divine's Nest, and the other three do not belong there, correct?"

Chaos Ancient God's expression darkened slightly, his eyes fixed on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan said unhurriedly, "Taiyin, Taiyang, Taixu, these actually represent the three immortal bodies, Yin, Yang, and Void."

Yin is the Taiyin Immortal Body.

Yang is the Taiyang Immortal Body.

Void is the Void Immortal Body.

These are the three immortal bodies!

Ye Xuan's words were like a terrifying Thunder Pearl exploding, making one's scalp tingle.

No one expected such a secret to be concealed within the Divine's Nest!

Chaos Ancient God took a deep breath, his eyes locked on Ye Xuan, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Ye Xuan's lips curled slightly, and he said softly, "I want to ask you something. Did a woman pass through this place recently?"

Chaos Ancient God frowned slightly, finding it hard to understand Ye Xuan, but nodded, "Indeed."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and asked again, "What did the Taiyin Ancient God and Taiyang Ancient God do at that time?"

Chaos Ancient God replied softly, "They both wanted to act against that woman, saying they saw something different, but ultimately achieved nothing. A power within her prevented them from acting."

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, being stopped?

This answer surprised him.

He knew well that within Youwei resided a formidable power, but no matter what, Youwei's physique belonged to Dual Souls, being both the Fiery Sun Saint Body and the Mystic Ice Saint Body, corresponding to the Taiyin Immortal Body and Taiyang Immortal Body among the Nine Great Immortal Bodies.

In Ye Xuan's original plan, he was to bring Youwei to the Divine's Nest to subdue the Taiyin Ancient God and Taiyang Ancient God, allowing Youwei to step directly into the ranks of the immortal bodies.

Dual Souls, and both are immortal bodies.

Thus, they could create a unique myth throughout the ages.

However, an unexpected event occurred in the Heaven Suppressing Hall of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, where Youwei alone entered the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

As far as Ye Xuan knew, Youwei was currently at Dao Chu Cliff.

Being at Dao Chu Cliff meant having crossed the Ten Great Danger Passes, naturally having passed the Divine's Nest.

In Ye Xuan's assessment, the Taiyin Ancient God and Taiyang Ancient God might have already been suppressed and absorbed by the force within Youwei.

But now the result startled Ye Xuan.

"That force repelled the Taiyin Ancient God and Taiyang Ancient God?" Ye Xuan frowned deeply.

It shouldn't be; that force clearly protected Youwei, and upon sensing that it could augment its power, it should absorb rather than repel.

Ye Xuan fell into contemplation.

"Ye Emperor has a connection with that woman?" Chaos Ancient God asked probing.

Ye Xuan looked up slantingly at Chaos Ancient God, saying softly, "Let's close this chapter. Tell me your thoughts on the Taiyin Ancient God, Taiyang Ancient God, and Taixu Ancient God."

Chaos Ancient God pondered, gazing at Ye Xuan, "What does Ye Emperor plan to do?"

Ye Xuan's lips curled slightly, and in his abyss-like dark eyes, a trace of killing intent emerged, saying faintly, "I want them."

Chaos Ancient God's heart trembled; he narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

He naturally understood the implication of Ye Xuan's words.

Ye Xuan intended to kill these three ancient gods!

"They, in themselves, aren't part of the Divine's Nest. Their presence is to balance you." Ye Xuan saw Chaos Ancient God remain silent, and said languidly, "You must have noticed; the Qian Kun Pot that followed me back then—what is its true strength now? On the other hand, you have been stagnant in the Divine's Nest for so long. This is not only because you coexist with the Divine's Nest but also because of the presence of those three ancient gods, forever halting their divine power..."

"I've turned the world upside down along my path."

"As the lead of the ancient gods, you know this transformation better than I."

"For the Divine's Nest to transform, for you to break free from the Prison, certain actions are necessary."

"Will you remain stagnant or take that step forward, paving the way for a true self? The choice is yours."
