Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 657 - 651 Zuo Lingyun

Having left the Central Square, Ye Xuan made his way to the sacred Book Storage Pavilion.

The area of the Central Domain was vast beyond imagination, dotted with countless secrets and forbidden lands. For Ye Xuan, a newcomer, understanding these things was essential.

After exploring the library for a while, Ye Xuan found the book he was looking for. On an ancient bookshelf, he took down a volume titled "Central Domain Strange Tales" and gently wiped the dust off the cover with his sleeve before slowly turning the pages.

Having skimmed through the table of contents of the book, Ye Xuan got a brief overview of some forbidden areas, ancient sites, as well as legends and secrets of the continent.

Following the contents, Ye Xuan quickly found information about the Demon Ruins in the book.

The Demon Ruins were one of the Ancient Battlefields. After the defeat of the Alien Clan, a number of their remnants still entrenched themselves here. Coupled with the inherent dangers of the Demon Ruins themselves, their reputation had spread far and wide, making it one of the major forbidden zones in the Central Domain.

To call it a forbidden zone, the Demon Ruins were actually one of the relatively safer places among the extremely dangerous areas of the Central Domain. At least in recent years, the Demon Ruins had quieted down a lot, and there had been no news of overly powerful Alien Clans.

However, a line in the book soon caught Ye Xuan’s attention:

"All demons under heaven gather here, utmost ferocious and evil; the Earth Emperor Book, purifies the wicked, seals the demon realm."

Ye Xuan’s gaze lingered for a moment, and then he showed a look of surprise. This mentioned the Earth Emperor Book, which was one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts previously referred to by the Human Emperor’s Scepter.

"Could it be that the Earth Emperor Book is in the Demon Ruins?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened slightly. The Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts were extraordinary. Even though the Human Emperor’s Scepter had not yet regained its power, it had already been quite beneficial to Ye Xuan. If he could obtain another one, the Earth Emperor Book, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his Cultivation.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from across the bookshelf.

"There has always been a rumor of the Earth Emperor Book in the Demon Ruins, but after so many years, no one has been able to find its location. This news is not exactly a secret."

As the voice faded, a figure walked out from behind the bookshelf.

Previously, Ye Xuan had been completely absorbed in reading and had not noticed someone behind the bookshelf. It wasn’t until the other person took the initiative to step out that Ye Xuan managed to see her face in the dim light.

In his sight was a beautiful woman with fair skin, gentle and charming features, and a slender figure. Her facial contours bore some resemblance to Zuo Shi, but she seemed even softer and gentler compared to the latter.

"Why is this? Could the rumors be false?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze turned sharp; he might have guessed the identity of the woman before him.

"True or false, I dare not assert. But even if the Earth Emperor Book is in the Demon Ruins, it will not be so easy to obtain. You should know that once a Holy Artifact reaches the level of the Earth Emperor Book, it would have already spawned an Artifact Spirit, extraordinarily sentient. Without the recognition of the Artifact Spirit, even a Saint would not be able to locate the Earth Emperor Book," the woman explained patiently.

"So that’s how it is."

Ye Xuan revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Without a doubt, the Earth Emperor Book could remain hidden in the Demon Ruins if it wished to avoid being mastered, making it impossible for anyone to find, unless one was a powerhouse like the ancient Three Emperors, who might naturally be able to locate them.

"Junior brother, you need not be disheartened. The Three Emperors have passed on; they belong to the past now. The Earth Emperor Book will certainly choose a new master. As long as you are destined, you won’t need to search for the treasure; it will come to you on its own," the woman said with a captivating smile on her beautiful face.

"Senior sister makes a good point."

Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, but inwardly he remained skeptical. There was a certain resonance between the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts, and possessing the Human Emperor’s Scepter, he might not be unable to find the Earth Emperor Book. Moreover, the likes of the ancient Three Emperors were considered inviolable and god-like existences in the Spirit Martial Continent, supreme powerhouses sacred and untouchable, but to Ye Xuan, they were nothing more than exceptionally powerful Martial Saints. As for the Earth Emperor Book, it was merely a more formidable Holy Artifact, and that was all.

"Will junior brother be participating in the Demon Ruins experience half a month from now?" the woman asked with curious eyes as she looked Ye Xuan over.

In her view, Ye Xuan’s Sixth Grade Martial Venerable cultivation might make venturing into a place like the Demon Ruins a bit too risky.

"That’s correct. By the sound of it, could it be that Senior Sister Zuo Lingyun will also be taking part?" Ye Xuan nodded, then decided no longer to beat around the bush, directly addressing the woman by her identity.

"You know of me?"

The graceful woman was taken aback, then gave Ye Xuan another once-over before her eyes brightened. "You must be Junior Brother Ye Xuan. I often hear Xiao Shi mentioning you. I will indeed participate in the trial half a month from now, and I will even be leading the team."

"That is me, indeed. In that case, I will have to ask senior sister to take good care of me half a month from now."

Ye Xuan smiled and clasped his fists in greeting. Although he was confident in his own strength, the Demon Ruins were no ordinary place, and having someone to look out for him was always better than none.

Besides, this Zuo Lingyun was the leader of the Moon Spirit Association, with a cultivation at the peak of a First Grade Martial Saint. Presumably, if she played all her cards, she could even handle a Second Grade Martial Saint.

"Since we are from the same sect, and you’re a friend of Xiao Shi’s, it is only right to do so," Zuo Lingyun said, nodding her head gently before her tone changed, "However, you have previously offended members of the Qinghua Association. This time, Mu Yan, the leader of the Qinghua Association, will also be leading a team at the Demon Ruins. Be sure to stay vigilant. That Song Ling is his sworn sister, and their relationship is exceptionally close."

Zuo Lingyun especially accentuated her words when mentioning their close relationship.

"Understood, thank you for the warning, Senior Sister Zuo."

Ye Xuan was unaware of this entangled interest. Taking the Immortal Spirit Grass from Song Ling and others last time, even though he made it a gift to Zuo Shi, inevitably offended the Qinghua Association. Heading to the Demon Ruins for this trial, they were likely not going to let it go easily.

"But you needn’t worry too much. After all, the sect still officially forbids private fighting. As long as I am around, Mu Yan wouldn’t dare to act rashly. Moreover, an Elder will be presiding over this expedition, and he is the mainstay of this experience," Zuo Lingyun hastily reassured Ye Xuan, thinking he might be fearful.

"Senior sister, rest assured, I don’t even take the people from the Qinghua Association seriously," Ye Xuan said with a smile, shaking his head. He had many methods that were not convenient to use within the sect, but once outside, even if Mu Yan were a Saint with a profound realm, he might not be able to get the better of him.

Hearing this, Zuo Lingyun did not speak further, simply shaking her head silently. Ye Xuan was too arrogant; even she wouldn’t underestimate Mu Yan, let alone Ye Xuan. If he dared to belittle the other party, he was likely to suffer a loss, or even potentially lose his life.
