Chapter 1125: Chapter 1122: Scheming
"No." Ye Xuan raised his hand to stop them, calmly saying, "Release the message and have them search for the whereabouts of the Spider Emperor. I want to personally slaughter him."
"We will heed Emperor Ye’s decree!"
The two respectfully accepted the command.
"By the way," Ye Xuan looked at Qiao Xinyu, speaking softly, "Is the Yellow Tripod still there?"
"It is!" Qiao Xinyu nodded emphatically.
"That’s good." Ye Xuan slightly nodded, "Go on then."
"Yes."
The two withdrew.
Previously, Qiao Xinyu had been found by people from the Immortal Crossing Sect of the Dingzhou Continent, saying he should return to participate in the Tripod Festival.
At that time, Qiao Xinyu was by Ye Xuan’s side and naturally did not want to go back.
Upon learning of this, Ye Xuan instructed Qiao Xinyu to return and, incidentally, check whether the Yellow Tripod at the Tripod Festival still existed.
The results were within Ye Xuan’s expectations.
"Those two traitors really took my monster body to the Heavenly Domain..."
Ye Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes, calculating silently in his heart.
Years ago, in order to suppress his own body, he relied on the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons that stabilized the supreme luck of the Xuanhuang Great World.
And the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons were in the hands of the nine Guardian Gods of the Xuanhuang Nine States.
Apart from the other eight states, Dingzhou had an ancient tradition: the Tripod Festival.
The tripod that suppressed the Dingzhou Continent was the Yellow Tripod, one of the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons.
The Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons are formed by heaven and earth, and no one can control them.
From the inception of the Xuanhuang Great World, the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons have always existed.
All along, they have been guarded by the Guardian Gods of the Nine States.
The world believes the Guardian Gods of the Xuanhuang Nine States are the protectors of the states’ continents.
However, they were all wrong.
These Guardian Gods are not protecting the Xuanhuang Nine States but are guarding the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons!
And the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons are a vital part of Ye Xuan’s many plans.
Years ago, he relied on the power of the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons to escape from that monster body.
Otherwise, he truly couldn’t have rid himself of that body.
Unfortunately, in the end, he was ambushed by those two traitors. Although he escaped the monster body, his Emperor Soul fell asleep.
Otherwise, the time Ye Xuan would have returned to would be when he was eleven.
If that were the case, then the current situation would be entirely different.
The reason Ye Xuan had Qiao Xinyu check the existence of the Yellow Tripod was to ascertain the current whereabouts of his previous body.
Since the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons have returned, it indicates that the body had been taken away by the Double Emperors.
The Double Emperors, being in the Heavenly Domain now, suggests that, without exception, his body must also be in the Heavenly Domain.
This is somewhat a blessing in disguise.
If a Great Emperor wasn’t guarding that body, it might not be long before someone exploited the situation and stole it.
Even though that body has long been cast with various curse seals by Ye Xuan, making it impossible for anyone to possess it, it doesn’t stop people from having such ideas.
Indeed, Ye Xuan had speculated that Mu Yun and Changxi had such designs.
Otherwise, why would they betray him for no reason?
The simplest motive analysis ultimately boils down to two words: profit.
And what kind of profit could make the Double Emperors, who have reached the ultimate peaks, harbor greed?
The most straightforward would be Ye Xuan’s body.
To others, it appeared to be the most terrifying body in the world, surpassing the Nine Great Immortal Bodies.
No one knew the horrific nature behind that body.
If they knew that the body was crafted by the Emperor Burial Lord to control others, they might not have been tempted.
But now, saying these things is meaningless.
Ye Xuan confirmed that the body was taken by the Double Emperors to the Heavenly Domain.
This, for him, is actually a good thing.
It’s best if, as his Taoist Body reaches Great Success, the Double Emperors bring that body down.
"Before that, I need to collect all the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons to suppress..."
Ye Xuan thought in his heart.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan planned to make a trip to the Immortal King Hall.
Youwei had gone to the Immortal King Hall to receive its inheritance, and she must be nearly finished by now.
It’s time to take Youwei to Floating Mountain.
Ye Xuan was not in a rush; he waited for Yun Daoli and Qiao Xinyu to report back before setting off with several people for the Immortal King Hall.
......
Immortal King Hall.
Located in the East Desolation South Domain.
Recently, the Immortal King Hall announced its formal emergence.
This news caused quite a stir in the East Desolate.
Previously, the return of the Sword Tomb, along with the return of the Sun Swallowing Sect, Dragon Burying Court, and Southern Saber Mountain, shook the East Desolate and directly altered its landscape.
Now, the return of the Immortal King Hall has caused another significant shift.
However, it’s worth mentioning that the Sword Tomb is located in the northernmost part of the East Desolate, amid the snow.
The Immortal King Hall, Sun Swallowing Sect, Dragon Burying Court, and Southern Saber Mountain are all in the South Domain of the East Desolate.
In truth, the major forces in the East Desolate have not been substantially affected.
With the return of the Immortal King Hall, the South Domain now has four ancient overlords.
For some reason, after the announcement of the return of the four overlords, the previously most barren South Domain experienced a significant resurgence in spiritual energy, gradually trending towards surpassing other parts of the East Desolate.
This change is most keenly felt by the forces on the edges of the South Domain.
It was also at that moment that people understood.
Why the South Domain, known as the most barren of the East Desolate, harbored four ancient overlords in seclusion.
Even the ancestral vein of the Emperor Immortal Sect, once an invincible overlord, resided in the South Domain.
It turns out, the South Domain is the largest treasure land in the East Desolate!
Previously, it was laughable how everyone looked down upon the South Domain.
With the revival of the four ancient overlords, aspiring to march into the South Domain has become impossible.
Thus, people can only look on with envy.
......
The outward representation of the Immortal King Hall has always been supported by the Immortal King Valley.
There are not many experts in the South Domain; reaching the Heavenly Human Realm makes one a supreme power.
The Valley Master of Immortal King Valley, Zhu Jiangtao, was once a Heavenly Human Realm expert.
But now, that’s no longer all he is.
Boom!
Indeed, Zhu Jiangtao, who had been in seclusion for a long time, just broke through the Heavenly Venerate Realm, stepping directly into the Saint Realm, achieving the status of a Great Master!
White hair and beard, graceful demeanor, like a celestial being.
Master Cang Song, Xu Zhengfei, and other elders sensed that aura and were amazed, coming forward to congratulate.
"Congratulations to the Valley Master for advancing another step," the crowd chorused.
Zhu Jiangtao was full of glowing health, his inner mana surging like great rivers and seas, full of power.
Zhu Jiangtao was equally delighted in his heart, laughing cheerfully, "Everyone, strive harder to step into the Saint Realm and become a Great Master, freely roaming the world."
"Cang Song, especially you, have the greatest opportunity,"
Zhu Jiangtao specifically named a black-haired old man.
Cang Song Master, vibrant at this moment as if growing younger, upon hearing Zhu Jiangtao’s words, clasped his hands and said, "I will not fail the Valley Master’s great expectations."
In truth, both were quite aware that their significant progress was all thanks to the distinguished figure they encountered more than a year ago, named ’Ye Xuan’.
