The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1670 - 1667: Soul Mark

At the beginning, Ye Ling’er didn’t take it seriously.

Until one day, Ye Ling’er woke up in her own cultivation cave and saw Zhou Youwei standing in front of her.

This frightened Ye Ling’er, as she thought it was some evil trick.

Later, Zhou Youwei told Ye Ling’er that she had left a soul mark a long time ago.

Zhou Youwei had already guessed that one day her memories would awaken, and the terrifying scenes she often encountered in her dreams were memories of her past life.

Zhou Youwei told Ye Ling’er that she had an important duty and couldn’t be entangled in romantic feelings.

But she would always love Ye Xuan, and that would never change.

There were many details of Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei in the Emperor Immortal Sect, which Ye Ling’er relayed to Ye Xuan verbatim.

"That’s all."

Ye Ling’er said with an innocent look: "So, you and sister-in-law will definitely reunite."

"Eh?"

Before Ye Ling’er’s words had landed, she found Ye Xuan had already disappeared.

Ye Xuan had already crossed the void, directly returning to the Emperor Immortal Sect in the Southern Domain.

Youwei’s soul mark was left on the Emperor Peak in the Southern Domain’s Emperor Immortal Sect.

Ye Xuan wanted to find Youwei’s soul mark.

Without alerting anyone, Ye Xuan returned to Youwei’s former boudoir.

The Emperor Soul stirred.

In an instant, Ye Xuan found that most familiar soul mark.

At that moment, the soul mark transformed into a mysterious black-clad woman.

Wearing a black robe, covering her exquisite jade body, with a palm-sized green jade gourd hanging at her waist.

Graceful and elegant, she stepped through the void.

Her flawless face was beautiful beyond words.

It seemed that all the good things in the world would pale in comparison before her.

At the center of her brows was a black sword mark, adding to her sharp killing intent.

Her ice-blue eyes, as if made of gems, now carried a hint of confusion and sadness.

"Husband?"

When she saw Ye Xuan, the black-robed woman’s eyes showed shock.

"Youwei."

Ye Xuan looked at the beautiful figure and spoke hoarsely.

"You know everything." Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes carried a hint of melancholy but were mostly gentle.

When she left this soul mark, Zhou Youwei had already severed it, so it wasn’t influenced by the current Zhou Youwei.

And when her memories awakened, this soul mark would activate.

"Ling’er told me everything." Ye Xuan said softly.

Ye Ling’er: ??? Didn’t you swear not to say anything!?

"I knew it. Ling’er can’t keep things to herself." Zhou Youwei smiled faintly.

"When did you find out?" Ye Xuan asked softly.

"Not long after you entered my dream." Zhou Youwei said.

In the past, Zhou Youwei was often haunted by strange dreams. To investigate, Ye Xuan entered Zhou Youwei’s dream and saw many terrifying scenes.

And not long after that, Zhou Youwei actually came to understand many things.

Those scenes were memories of her past life.

Her name was Hong Yao.

An extraordinary existence.

"I need you to deliver a message for me."

Ye Xuan collected his emotions and said calmly.

"Deliver a message? To my current self?" Zhou Youwei asked, puzzled.

"Exactly!" Ye Xuan nodded, "Since you now have awakened memories, I already understood everything from those scenes."

"Those are memories related to that battle, where you once held the Emperor Pass Great Wall and bore a Forbidden Land similar to the Heavenly Sea, battling against the powerhouses of the Dou Tian Divine Domain!"

Ye Xuan said seriously, "I’ve already visited the Emperor Pass Great Wall, seen the Dark Demon Sea, and I know about the King of Dou Tian."

Hearing this, Zhou Youwei was somewhat dazed.

Because, for her, who was just a soul mark, it was truly incomprehensible.

Zhou Youwei opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Ye Xuan.

But Ye Xuan raised his hand, eyes gentle, and said softly, "Save your words for when we meet again in person, not like this."

Hearing this, Zhou Youwei’s eyes also became determined, "Husband, see you next time!"

With that, Zhou Youwei voluntarily dispersed this soul mark.

Zhou Youwei’s figure disappeared before Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan watched that scene in silence for a long time.

At the same moment, Zhou Youwei, located in the deepest part of the Heavenly Sea, slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of helplessness and a bit of tenderness in her eyes.

"Are you a fool..."

Zhou Youwei murmured softly, "I knew about your origins ever since Dao Chu Ancient Land, and I know your capabilities."

"I just don’t want you to get involved in that battle..."

"This burden, I can bear it alone."

After saying this, Zhou Youwei closed her eyes again, focusing on restoring her strength.

Yet, her heart remained touched, a shard of softness stirred.

......

Ye Xuan waited for a long time in Zhou Youwei’s room, but received no response.

"No reply?"

"Or perhaps... unwilling to respond to me?"

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, eyes calm.

Clearly, it had to be the latter.

But it didn’t matter, the words needed to be said had been said.

In their future reunion, Ye Xuan would show what the words ’Undying Night Emperor’ truly meant.

Perhaps, to Youwei, what she learned from Beiyao Shenwu at Dao Chu Ancient Land was everything.

But in this vast world, not to mention Beiyao Shenwu, even Old Ghost Liu Shu and Emperor Burial Lord didn’t understand all of Ye Xuan.

Ultimately, he had been underestimated.

No worries.

He would prove everything with action.

Ye Xuan lay on Zhou Youwei’s bed, a smile curling on his lips.

It’s been a long time since he slept.

Time for a rest.

Sleep through Spring and Autumn.

Begin.

The very center of the Xuanhuang Great World.

The Divine Continent.

As the most expansive land within the Nine States Land of the Xuanhuang Great World, many ancient myths have been born here.

The existing myths include the Kunlun Ruins and the Endless Sea.

Kunlun Ruins, renowned throughout the Xuanhuang Great World.

One of the oldest Dao heritages of Xuanhuang, and also one of the Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces, it has countless titles.

And the Endless Sea.

Is entirely different.

The Endless Sea is shrouded in mystery.

Its title is equally terrifying.

One of the Nine Prohibitions of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Recently, five of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions have undergone changes.

Dao Chu Ancient Land in Daozhou, Death Netherworld in Dingzhou, Desolate Realm in Desolate State, Inverted Sky in Hong State, Qingming Cave in Qing State.

The remaining four Forbidden Lands seem unchanged.

Including the Endless Sea.

This made the Qiankun Ancestor, tasked with guarding this place by Ye Xuan, very relaxed.

Originally, the Qiankun Ancestor wasn’t happy about replacing Qiao Xinyu.

Even though Qiao Xinyu was the master’s favored general, I’ve been by the master’s side since the Wilderness Era, how could it be fair like this?

But after staying here for a while, he found it truly leisurely.

Every day, chatting leisurely with the God-beating Stone sister, very pleasant.

The Qiankun Ancestor lay reclining on a cloud, gazing upon the blue sea ahead, enjoying the sea breeze, utterly relaxed.

"Dum da-la dum da, I, the Ancestor, am the mighty king..."

The Qiankun Ancestor hummed an ancient tune of his own creation.

Boom!

The cloud burst apart.
