The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1738 - 1735: Feeling a Bit Melancholy

"Ghost Leviathan!"

Zhang Jingtong exclaimed in shock.

The terrifying figure that covered the sky seemed boundless, like a floating continent!

This was the Ghost Leviathan, one of the most fearsome sea beasts, also known as Devil Fish.

Sea beasts with the bloodline of the Ghost Leviathan can reach a hundred meters in size when young.

Upon reaching adulthood, they can grow to a million meters!

The Ghost Leviathan before them was clearly an existence of the ten million-year level, almost equivalent to some continents in the Xuanhuang Great World!

Two beams of red light shot out from its eyes, illuminating the entire Endless Sea.

They were like two wheels of bloody suns, releasing endless blood light!

Absolutely terrifying.

The Qiankun Ancestor chuckled, clenched his large hand.

No fluctuation of mana was seen, yet this grasp seemed to hold the heavens and earth in the palm of his hand.

At that moment, the gigantic Ghost Leviathan visibly shrank at an alarming rate.

Rumble————

This caused the Ghost Leviathan to panic; it struggled non-stop, trying to escape the suppressing power.

But no matter how it struggled, the force held it firmly in place, rendering it completely immobile.

Moments later, the Ghost Leviathan was collected in the palm of the Qiankun Ancestor.

With a gentle shake, the Ghost Leviathan went silent instantly.

Qiankun Ancestor placed the Ghost Leviathan before the two young ladies, smiled, and said, "Inspect the goods."

The two young ladies stared in awe at the palm-sized Ghost Leviathan in Qiankun Ancestor’s hand, unsure of what to say.

This was just too easy!

Ye Xuan instructed the two to take this item and continue moving forward.

On the way, the two young ladies expressed their gratitude to Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor.

Ye Xuan retorted bluntly: Isn’t it because you two wanted to tag along?

The remark left the two young ladies blushing, feeling tongue-tied, unsure of how to respond, only keeping it in their hearts, resolved to repay Ye Xuan someday.

Qiankun Ancestor watched this intently, silently marveling at how the master excelled in manipulating hearts.

He could effortlessly grasp others’ thoughts.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two Daoist young ladies with great potential will surely become True Persons, even True Lords!

When it reaches that point, repaying today’s kindness would undeniably be immense.

Just like in the eternal years, those who benefited from the master’s kindness during their peak returned it with jaw-dropping gestures.

For some reason, Qiankun Ancestor felt inexplicably sentimental.

Watching the master’s silhouette ahead, his eyes suddenly moistened.

He did not know how much longer he could accompany the master.

Throughout the eternal years, he often slept, unaware of many happenings.

But the master truly lived this long, watching friend after friend depart.

Master once said a great era is coming in the future.

An unprecedented great era.

An era of splendor.

And chaos.

Peak experts will emerge like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Yet at the same time, even those previously invincible overlords would face increased risk of falling.

After the great era, a great catastrophe will occur.

The catastrophe will envelop All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and even beyond.

More details were not questioned back then.

Later inquiries on this matter were met with silence from the master.

He remained unwilling to face one fact.

He had long entered his old age.

Whether he could live another lifetime remained uncertain.

Qiankun Ancestor rubbed his old eyes.

In others’ eyes, he might be an invincible being who underwent Divine Enthronement, but before the master, he felt like Little Qiankun.

He wished for nothing, only to stay by the master’s side, battling together!

Ye Xuan suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Qiankun Ancestor rubbing his eyes, frowned and said, "Did you get bullied during the time guarding the Divine Continent?"

Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong were bewildered and clueless.

Qiankun Ancestor, amidst rubbing his eyes, shuddered upon hearing this, and grinned, "Master, since I underwent Divine Enthronement, who would dare to bully this old servant?"

Ye Xuan watched Qiankun Ancestor, as if returning to the time when Little Qiankun had not yet grown up, smiled slightly, and said, "That’s good."

Then, Ye Xuan continued moving forward.

Qiankun Ancestor never hid his emotions before Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan knew full well Qiankun Ancestor’s thoughts.

However...

Longevity seekers in this world are few and far between.

This form of longevity differs from the mortal notion; it’s what Ye Xuan regards as longevity.

Ye Xuan’s eyes were deep, as if penetrating the darkness at the abyss’s end.

Little Qiankun’s emotional shift triggered a flood of thoughts.

With a steadfast Dao Heart, Ye Xuan was not overly sentimental.

Even if no one remained at his side.

He would keep walking.

He aimed to stand at the end of time, looking back to the Mythical Era’s dawn, and before!

Yet...

He hoped all those around him would still be there when he reached that point.

Grandfather, sister, parents, Little Red Sparrow, Xinyan, Youwei,...

Once his arrangements were complete, he planned to visit the Netherworld and review the legendary Book of Life and Death.

"These thoughts are quite unlike you, yet so like you..."

A gentle voice echoed in his mind.

It was Bai Ze.

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Xuan snapped back to reality, responded inwardly, "No one decrees how a person should be; everyone possesses the Seven Emotions and Six Desires."

"While you can discern all sources of the world, you grasp the Seven Emotions and Six Desires’ complexity."

"Yet some things remain unclear to you."

Ye Xuan’s words led Bai Ze into silence, pondering the issue.

With thoughts refocused, Ye Xuan’s eyes were serene, and he calmly told Qiankun Ancestor, "Enough with the random thoughts, you will encounter some old foes."

Qiankun Ancestor showed no fear, rather high fighting spirit, eyes blazing fiercely, "Master rests assured; leave everything to this old servant!"

Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong didn’t comprehend their mental journey, though the master-servant dialogue seemed oddly peculiar, anyway...

They couldn’t understand.

An incense stick-time later.

A floating Iron Chain Bridge appeared ahead in the water.

Forged from five iron chains, it had no beginning or end.

Total length was just ninety-nine meters.

Ye Xuan chose not to detour, leading everyone there, pointed at the Iron Chain Bridge and told Ning Fu and Zhang Jingtong, "Your Daoist lineage speaks of a Longevity Bridge, also called Dao Bridge, although your present realm can’t perceive the Longevity Bridge’s existence, this bridge can allow you to step onto the Longevity Bridge in advance, paving your future path."

The two young ladies were astonished.

This bridge bore such magical effects!

"Go on, walk this bridge; don’t leave it before I return, or peril awaits."

Ye Xuan waved them onward.

The two young ladies bowed to Ye Xuan, then stepped onto the nameless Iron Chain Bridge without beginning or end.
