The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Chapter 1871 - 1868: Have You Understood?

"Who are you..."The man looked at Ye Xuan in fear and unease.

He was certain that Ye Xuan had definitely participated in that Empire Road battle.

But as far as he knew, those who took part in that Empire Road battle had mostly reached the peak and should have died long ago.

He too, back in the day, by sheer luck acquired a heavenly opportunity on the Empire Road, which allowed him to become a reincarnator.

In this lifetime, he was confident he could reach the peak of the Empire Road.

After witnessing Ye Xuan’s incredible strength, he thought of manipulating this guy to see if he could recruit him into his own ranks.

Ye Xuan looked at the man with a peculiar gaze and said calmly, "My name is Ye Xuan."

The man was instantly alarmed: "Are you the strongest Reserve Emperor of Xuanhuang?"

"Sorry for the disturbance, farewell!"

The man turned and left.

What a joke, he actually thought of recruiting such an existence as a subordinate?

He had just arrived from the entrance of the Empire Road and saw Ye Xuan send Gu Changge flying; thinking this guy had solid strength, he wanted to recruit him, completely unprepared for this guy to actually be Ye Xuan!

Though he was a Great Saint reincarnator, facing a being like Ye Xuan, he was in no position to underestimate him.

As a reincarnator, in others’ eyes, he was just a failure.

Ye Xuan didn’t stop the man from leaving.

To him, a Great Saint reincarnator was indeed nothing worth noting.

Moreover, he knew about this guy.

Back in the Xuanhuang Great World on the peak of the Three Thousand Emperor Paths, it gathered the most powerful prodigies of the time from Xuanhuang Great World, and during that earth-shattering battle, this Great Holy Zhen attempted to take advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack, but he was struck down from the peak of the Empire Road, his life or death unknown.

This was in stark contrast to what the Great Holy Zhen had just told Ye Xuan.

For such a person, Ye Xuan didn’t even consider recruiting him.

Time passed slowly.

On the Primordial Emperor Road, cultivators gradually disappeared.

While many others were arriving in succession, descending onto the Primordial Emperor Road at the start of the path.

Ye Xuan didn’t rush onto the Empire Road, instead he was waiting for someone.

Soon, someone approached from behind Ye Xuan.

It was a young woman dressed in white, with a stunning figure.

Between her brows was the imprint of a snow lotus, adding a touch of mystery.

The young woman moved gracefully with a faint fragrance, reaching Ye Xuan’s senses.

"My Lord."

Upon reaching Ye Xuan’s side, the young woman bowed slightly in greeting.

Ye Xuan turned to look at the young woman, saying calmly, "You are too late."

The young woman’s face paled slightly, biting her red lips, she replied with a hint of grievance, "You know as well, after the Heavenly Dao Suppression was lifted to the Great Sage Realm, one old demon after another emerged within the Ancient Demon Country, and Jing’er couldn’t handle it well."

This young woman was none other than Dugu Jing, who had ascended to the position of Demon Emperor in the Ancient Demon Country!

Ye Xuan took slow steps, not hurriedly saying, "I don’t need excuses."

Dugu Jing followed Ye Xuan, whispering, "Jing’er admits her mistake."

"What stage has the Purity Immortal Body reached?"

"... Just entered the Miao Xuan stage."

"Too slow."

"..."

Dugu Jing felt particularly aggrieved, with Ye Xuan’s assistance, she obtained the Purity Immortal Body, from awakening, to entry, and now to the Miao Xuan stage, all in less than two months.

This speed was simply miraculous.

Yet in Ye Xuan’s mouth, it turned into too slow.

"Do you think I am too harsh?"

Ye Xuan’s voice came softly from the front.

Dugu Jing followed closely behind Ye Xuan and shook her head upon hearing, "Jing’er knows, My Lord wants Jing’er to be able to handle things independently sooner."

Ye Xuan paused.

Dugu Jing almost bumped into Ye Xuan, quickly stopped herself, knowing she had misspoken.

Ye Xuan looked at the end of the Primordial Emperor Road, speaking slowly, "What are the rules of this world?"

Dugu Jing pursed her red lips, speaking softly, "Survival of the fittest, the strong reign supreme!"

Ye Xuan replied indifferently, "In the Cultivation World, those in the Saint Realm, to those below the Saint Realm, are considered supreme beings, but an Immortal can easily suppress a Saint, a Supreme can suppress an Immortal, a Great Venerable can suppress a Supreme, and reaching the Great Sage is another vast chasm."

"Yet the Great Sage Realm is just a starting point of the Emperor Road."

"The future will be chaotic, since you bear the Immortal Body, you need to show a different attitude, don’t compare yourself to others, compare yourself to your own."

"Do you understand?"

Ye Xuan’s tone remained calm, without deep earnestness.

Dugu Jing gently nodded her head, then shook it again, "I understand a bit."

Ye Xuan turned to look at Dugu Jing, his gaze calm.

Dugu Jing instinctively became alert; she possessed the Immaculate Immortal Lotus, with a Heart of Purity, capable of seeing through people’s hearts and discerning thoughts.

Yet whenever she faced Ye Xuan, she felt as though she couldn’t see through him at all.

It’s as if what stands before her isn’t a person, but a vast abyss, dark and profound, utterly bottomless.

The feeling was so intense that Dugu Jing dared not breathe.

"My Lord..."

Dugu Jing’s heart raced, feeling a bit flustered.

Ye Xuan didn’t speak, but suddenly clenched Dugu Jing’s neck.

Dugu Jing couldn’t even react before Ye Xuan gripped her.

At the same time, Dugu Jing felt she lost all powers, including her Purity Immortal Body, which seemed to vanish at that moment.

This filled Dugu Jing with extreme panic.

"... My Lord."

Dugu Jing looked at Ye Xuan with disbelief, not understanding why he suddenly acted.

"Deeply comprehend it."

Ye Xuan said softly.

Before Dugu Jing could respond, Ye Xuan slammed her into the ground.

Bang!

In an instant, Dugu Jing felt as if hit by a towering ancient mountain, her bones seemingly about to shatter.

Next, Ye Xuan suddenly kicked.

Dugu Jing flew swiftly across the horizon of the Primordial Emperor Road.

Following that, Ye Xuan tapped his toes, chasing Dugu Jing closely.

The scene frightened those just entering the Primordial Emperor Road.

"What’s going on?"

"Isn’t that the Empress of the Ancient Demon Country? Why is she getting beaten?"

"Who’s that person who acted? So strong!"

"Don’t know, couldn’t see clearly earlier."

Discussing voices arose.

When the ancient demons from the Ancient Demon Country arrived and saw the scene, they offered no comments nor intended to help, instead each finding their own Empire Road path.

Dugu Jing, a young girl seated on the Demon Emperor’s position, naturally made them very displeased.

Now witnessing Dugu Jing being beaten so violently, it offered them some relief.

Besides.

This is the Empire Road.

Even dying here isn’t subject to any explanation.

Perhaps after the Empire Road concludes, they might ascend to the position of Demon Emperor.

Dugu Jing’s demise would not sadden them.

And right now.

Dugu Jing was being beaten fiercely by Ye Xuan.

Leaving her utterly dazed.

Initially, Dugu Jing attempted to plead, but as time passed, realizing Ye Xuan showed no signs of stopping, her heart filled with anger, initiating a counterattack.

As Dugu Jing began her counterstrike, Ye Xuan suddenly halted, speaking calmly, "Remember this feeling, when you reach the peak of the Emperor Road, I will accompany you for a match."

Dugu Jing stood in stone-faced disbelief, battered and bruised.
