The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1590 - 1587: In Hand

For a time, the Ghost Dynasty and Qingming Sacred Land’s Ghost Clan disciples were on edge.

Meanwhile, in the Divine River, Ye Xuan had already submerged to the river bottom. With a gentle shake of his mana, the river sand scattered, revealing a black orb about half the size of a fist.

This was precisely the Dao Formation Pill Ye Xuan was seeking, a terrifying weapon.

Ye Xuan did not touch the Dao Formation Pill directly; instead, he used his Emperor Soul to make contact.

Back then, Ye Xuan dared not leave any mark on the Dao Formation Pill, for fear of being detected by the Ghost Land.

Therefore, at that time, Ye Xuan only used his Emperor Soul for interaction.

Only Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul could make contact without triggering a counterattack from the Dao Formation Pill; otherwise, a touch would cause it to erupt.

If that happened, the entire Ghost Land might be shrouded by the Dao Formation Pill.

Everything living would be obliterated.

Ye Xuan had no doubts about this.

The Dao Formation Pill is a miraculous creation of nature, containing a Dao Killing Array, and once unleashed, even a Great Emperor must bow down.

Otherwise, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to lodge it in the Ghost Land years ago.

In the world, there are miraculous places that could nurture the Dao Formation Pill.

But the Ghost Land is the most suited for nurturing it.

As always.

The Ghost Land is alive.

Precisely because the Ghost Land is alive, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within it has been growing rapidly, as if cultivating itself.

Here, the Dao Formation Pill can continuously absorb the Ghost Land’s power.

This is one of the reasons the Ghost Land has remained dormant for years.

Ye Xuan ruined the Ghost Land’s plans and even planted a Dao Formation Pill here to siphon without limits.

This is why the Ghost Land despises Ye Xuan.

Most likely, when the two meet, it will definitely result in a fight to the death.

As Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul touched the Dao Formation Pill, layers of mysterious Dao runes emerged on its surface, seemingly responding to Ye Xuan.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, speeding up the collection of the Dao Formation Pill.

The Emperor Soul’s aura had leaked.

The Ghost Land is probing!

"There’s no time."

Ye Xuan detected the approaching terror and, without another word, immediately retracted the Emperor Soul, simultaneously activating the Taoist Body, reaching out to grasp the Dao Formation Pill.

Boom!

In an instant, the Dao Formation Pill erupted with terrifying power, nearly destroying Ye Xuan’s entire hand.

But as the skin was pierced and drops of blood fell, the Dao Formation Pill restrained its aura and merged into Ye Xuan’s palm.

Collection complete!

"This..."

Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled and quickly began to assess.

Perhaps the power unique to the Taoist Body within his blood was recognized by the Dao Formation Pill.

Otherwise, blood recognition would only hasten his death.

Ye Xuan’s original plan was to envelop the Dao Formation Pill with the Emperor Soul, slowly collecting it.

But due to the Emperor Soul’s aura leak and the Ghost Land’s probing, Ye Xuan had to retract the Emperor Soul.

Ye Xuan decided to temporarily use the Taoist Body’s power to suppress the Dao Formation Pill.

However, the Dao Formation Pill’s power was so terrifying that it pierced Ye Xuan’s hand.

Unexpectedly, it led to the Dao Formation Pill acknowledging Ye Xuan as its master.

"Seems like my luck isn’t too bad."

Ye Xuan grinned, having collected the Dao Formation Pill, and swam towards the river surface.

In an instant, the Ghost Land’s probing vanished, having not detected Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, it ceased its focus.

Meanwhile, beneath the eerie cliff, an ancient voice resounded.

"Nine Nether Phoenix, the one who schemed against me years ago has returned. This time, you join me to suppress him!"

The ancient voice carried a chilling killing intent.

Nine Nether Phoenix opened its eyes and coldly spoke, "If it is someone capable of scheming against you, his strength is immeasurable. Are you sure you want to engage now?"

The ancient voice replied sternly, "With him around, I dare not condense the physical body."

"Even your recovery would be interrupted."

The ancient voice continued.

Nine Nether Phoenix frowned quietly; if this were true, it seemed indeed necessary to intervene.

"Fine, I shall go then."

Nine Nether Phoenix spread its wings and flew out from beneath the eerie cliff.

A pair of black wings spread wide, spanning ten thousand feet, while underneath were sharp claws resembling dragon talons.

Its black eyes surveyed disdainfully, exuding unmatched dominance.

After nurturing itself for eleven months, devouring countless souls of the Ghost Clan, Nine Nether Phoenix’s soul power had recovered to an alarming level.

At least, it was a world of difference compared to when it was beside Ye Xuan.

Recalling its time with Ye Xuan, Nine Nether Phoenix never truly recovered; just as it managed to restore a bit, various reasons caused it to fall back into slumber, wasting all previous efforts.

To be frank, this was one of the main reasons why Nine Nether Phoenix chose to leave Ye Xuan.

It felt staying beside Ye Xuan was truly too dangerous.

Because nonstop, Ye Xuan encountered extremely terrifying entities.

These entities rendered Nine Nether Phoenix unable to show itself.

This feeling was truly stifling.

It ought to be known, that in its world, it was hailed as the Lord of Death, possessing unmatched fame.

Yet beside Ye Xuan, it felt like a beggar hiding and fleeing constantly, so resentfully stifled.

Having recovered over the past eleven months, it finally regained much confidence.

Soaring through the heavens, overlooking the land.

Finally regaining a hint of the Lord of Death’s confidence.

Nine Nether Phoenix set its course towards the Divine River.

Simultaneously.

Ye Xuan initially intended to swim to the surface, but noticed another treasure at the bottom of the Divine River.

A lotus growing at the riverbed.

The lotus was golden, dazzlingly brilliant, and intensely divine.

"Heavenly Gold Divine Lotus."

Ye Xuan immediately recognized the item.

This Heavenly Gold Divine Lotus had grown for at least fifty thousand years, a treasure of such age is indeed rare with multifaceted uses.

Whether in the Ghost Great World or Xuanhuang Great World, it’s rarely seen.

Seeing a treasure, letting it go was out of the question.

Ye Xuan unceremoniously picked the Heavenly Gold Divine Lotus and headed towards the river surface.

Upon surfacing, Ye Xuan saw the Ghost Dynasty and Qingming Sacred Land Ghost Clan disciples being chased by a golden koi.

But at this moment, the golden koi angrily surged towards Ye Xuan, shifting its attack target.

The golden koi covered the sky, having already grown dragon scales, possessing the True Dragon Bloodline, with strength enough to overpower late-stage Great Venerate Realm experts.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan whistled.

The previously furious golden koi abruptly halted its offensive, settling in front of Ye Xuan, then swam under Ye Xuan, affectionately nudging him.

Whoosh!

Before the shocked gaze of the Ghost Dynasty and Qingming Sacred Land disciples, the golden koi lifted Ye Xuan onto its back, voluntarily acting as Ye Xuan’s mount.

"What’s happening?"

The Ghost Dynasty disciples were dumbfounded.
