Chapter 1128: Chapter 1125: Huang Shigong
"Looks like that guy has noticed something..."
Ye Xuan squinted slightly, muttering to himself.
In the eyes of others, Wu Muchen might just be the most terrifying prodigy of the past ninety thousand years, and also the Supreme Sovereign of the Immortal King Hall.
But no one knows his other identity.
Not even he himself knows.
And it is precisely because of this that Ye Xuan had Youwei become his disciple.
Since Youwei experienced that incident, her talent has become increasingly terrifying.
Returning to the Immortal King Hall, Wu Muchen would certainly be able to detect the change within her.
That’s why he chose to pass on all the inheritance of the Immortal King Hall to Youwei.
This is a good thing.
At least in Ye Xuan’s eyes, Youwei’s assimilation of the Immortal King Hall’s inheritance wouldn’t be an issue.
Since they’ll be heading to the Floating Mountain later, and might not have much time to return to the Immortal King Hall, it would be better to accept the entire inheritance at once.
"Ye Xuan, my young friend, your wife is already the future Supreme Sovereign of my Immortal King Hall, and you still won’t join us?"
Tian Heng Ancestor was unwilling to give up and asked again.
Ye Xuan grinned, pointed his thumb at Qiankun Ancestor behind him, and said slowly, "He is indeed Qiankun Ancestor, but not Mo Qiankun, rather an existence from the Wilderness Sealing God."
Upon hearing this, Qiankun Ancestor straightened his chest and lifted his head, truly looking spirited and proud.
Tian Heng Ancestor’s gaze fell upon Qiankun Ancestor. Although he felt this guy’s temperament was nothing like a master, the unfathomable aura he exuded seemed to confirm that he was indeed a master.
Ye Xuan’s words clearly indicated a refusal.
An ancient existence from the Wilderness Sealing God was under Ye Xuan’s command, so how could he join the Immortal King Hall?
Clearly, it was an impossible thing.
Thinking of this, Tian Heng Ancestor could only smile wryly, "No wonder Wu Muchen and the others said they couldn’t get you to join the Immortal King Hall."
"By the way, the old Huang you mentioned earlier is..."
Tian Heng Ancestor looked at Qiankun Ancestor, somewhat puzzled.
"You don’t recognize your own ancestor?" Qiankun Ancestor looked at Tian Heng Ancestor with a strange expression.
Tian Heng Ancestor was bewildered and turned to look at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan said, "Also known as Huang Shigong."
"Huang Shigong!?"
At this, not only Tian Heng Ancestor, but even Qiao Xinyu and Yun Daoli at the rear shuddered, their pupils fiercely contracting.
Huang Shigong, an extremely ancient existence, no one knows which era he belongs to.
But his name is renowned throughout All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
The Yellow Stone Heavenly Book he authored is hailed as one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books of all time, with a massive influence.
Besides, he also carries another incredibly astonishing identity.
He is not only a figure from the Immortal King Hall but also a patriarch of Daoism!
Furthermore, Huang Shigong is as famous as Gui Guzi, who founded the Zongheng Sect in the distant past.
Who is Gui Guzi?
Back then, he and Huang Shigong both came from Daoism, a duo of geniuses at the pinnacle of Daoism’s most glorious era.
But no one expected that Huang Shigong would eventually join the Immortal King Hall.
While Gui Guzi went on his own path, founding the Zongheng Sect, and creating the Spirit Array Master’s splendor!
These two were both historical figures.
However, at that time, many people called Huang Shigong ’Old Huang Dao’.
This is the origin of the name.
"Can you speak with Old Huang Dao?" Tian Heng Ancestor restrained his inner contempt and respectfully clasped his hands toward Qiankun Ancestor.
Now, it was Qiankun Ancestor’s turn to be embarrassed. He stammered for a long time and could only look to Ye Xuan for help.
He was just boasting, even though he had followed Ye Xuan from a very early time, he truly hadn’t reached the level of conversing with Huang Shigong.
Tian Heng Ancestor saw Qiankun Ancestor’s reaction and immediately understood, his gaze fell behind Ye Xuan, and he took a deep breath inwardly.
It seemed that this Ye Xuan was even more formidable than he had imagined.
"Of course, I can speak with him, but it also depends on whether he dares."
Ye Xuan sensed Tian Heng Ancestor’s gaze and couldn’t help but smile lightly.
Upon hearing this, Tian Heng Ancestor felt a tingle at the scalp.
Damn it.
Isn’t he too arrogant?
However, Qiao Xinyu and Yun Daoli behind Ye Xuan felt it was only natural.
Because in their eyes, Ye Xuan was the most invincible existence in the world.
Without exception!
But what Ye Xuan said was not a lie.
When he had visited the Immortal King Hall in the past, assisting them with that ’dragon’, he had indeed mockingly scorned Huang Shigong.
Huang Shigong, hidden in the dark, did not dare face Ye Xuan directly.
Because Huang Shigong knew very well who Ye Xuan was.
Ultimately, Tian Heng Ancestor dared not say more to Ye Xuan. After arranging accommodations for Ye Xuan and the others, he returned to his seclusion.
This time, he had emerged from seclusion, expending considerable power, just to try to recruit Ye Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan was even stronger than he had imagined, so he could only retreat.
On the seventh day of Ye Xuan’s arrival at the Immortal King Hall, Wu Muchen, who had never shown himself, finally appeared.
"You came."
Wu Muchen met Ye Xuan in a secret hall.
"You’re awake?" Ye Xuan asked with a half-smile.
Wu Muchen shook his head slightly, saying, "Sort of half-awake, half-asleep state."
Ye Xuan asked, "How long until you’re fully awake?"
Wu Muchen still shook his head, saying, "Unsure."
"However..."
Wu Muchen gazed seriously at Ye Xuan, gravely saying, "Youwei’s identity is probably quite extraordinary."
Ye Xuan casually asked, "How extraordinary?"
Wu Muchen contemplated for a moment and said, "In the future game of chess, no one knows who the player or the piece is, but she might be the one outside the chessboard!"
Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted slightly, frowning, "Are you certain?"
Wu Muchen nodded slightly, "Sixty percent sure."
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, his expression changing.
After a long time.
Ye Xuan looked at Wu Muchen, speaking solemnly, "Even at your peak back then, you didn’t have a sixty percent chance of breaking out of the board, right?"
Wu Muchen nodded without hesitation, "Correct."
Ye Xuan and Wu Muchen exchanged looks.
After a moment, both revealed a hint of a smile.
"Seems like I’ve found a good wife." Ye Xuan grinned, though there was a trace of helplessness and self-mockery in his eyes.
"Indeed, and you’ve also found me a good disciple." Wu Muchen also smiled wryly.
"When will she finish her seclusion?" Ye Xuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
"Originally, it would take a year, but she’s not an ordinary person, so I’d estimate half a month." Wu Muchen said with some uncertainty.
"I’ve met Gai Madman already." Ye Xuan changed the subject.
"Gai Dao, huh..." Wu Muchen’s face showed a trace of reminiscence, smiling, "How’s that guy’s strength now?"
"Not bad." Ye Xuan replied casually.
"What about Old Mountain and the others?" Wu Muchen asked.
"Are you really not awake?" Ye Xuan had a peculiar look.
"I said, didn’t I? Half-awake, half-asleep." Wu Muchen shook his head.
"Then are you Wu Muchen or..." Ye Xuan paused, grinning.
(ps: Everyone can go ahead and guess the identities of Wu Muchen and Zhou Youwei.)
