The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 1857 - 1854: Thunder Pond
"Young Master, those people also seem to be Snow Storers..."
Following beside Ye Xuan, Cheng Kes also observed the people from the four major families on Fu Lei Heaven from a distance and whispered softly.
However, Cheng Kes didn’t dare to sketch anything casually about it.
Here was Fu Lei Heaven, the territory of the four major families; random paintings could lead to unnecessary trouble.
"Most Snow Storers, even less noteworthy than those reincarnators who represent failure."
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm, and he said slowly, "Many Snow Storers merely chose to seal themselves because they couldn’t see hope in their era, planning to emerge in a more favorable era, under the guise of seeking fortune and avoiding calamity."
"Throughout the long years, although there have been those who, as Reincarnators or Snow Storers, have reached the peak, yet those Snow Storers often inherently possessed certain opportunities."
"Relying on so-called fortune to prove emperorhood is incredibly foolish by nature."
Hearing these words, Cheng Kes blinked, still somewhat puzzled, "But didn’t everyone say that Snow Storers have already reached invincibility at their level, and they choose to fight the prodigies of the next era, maintaining invincibility in order to prove emperorhood?"
The Snow Storers Ye Xuan spoke of were entirely different from what Cheng Kes had heard.
Ye Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "The earliest Snow Storers were indeed like that, representing glory at the time, but later it changed, and the Reincarnators were the same."
He had witnessed the rise and fall of countless eras, and naturally saw countless Snow Storers and Reincarnators.
Therefore, his understanding of these two surpassed everyone else’s.
Cheng Kes pondered and said in a low voice, "But I still think those Snow Storers are very strong."
Ye Xuan glanced at Cheng Kes, speaking unhurriedly, "That just means you are too weak."
Cheng Kes: "..."
She could only murmur to herself: Do you think everyone is like you, Young Master?
But Cheng Kes couldn’t say that out loud, only in her heart.
Ye Xuan certainly understood Cheng Kes’s thoughts and patiently said, "Your talent doesn’t lie in cultivation, but in your painting skills. Each profession focuses on its specialty, and your Dao is also on the painter’s path."
"Bringing you to the Thunder Pond this time has a significant point, which is to let you depict the spectacle of the Thunder Pond. Just capturing a fraction of its power will allow you to go further on the Emperor’s Road; otherwise, you’ll fall behind."
Ye Xuan’s words left Cheng Kes dumbfounded, "Depict the Thunder Pond?!"
Cheng Kes looked at Ye Xuan pitiably and said, "Are you joking, Young Master?"
Even her master wouldn’t be able to depict the unprecedented spectacle of the Thunder Pond.
Despite Ye Xuan saying it’s just a fraction of power, it’s the Thunder Pond!
One of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions, the Thunder Pond!
If it were that easy to paint, the path of the painter wouldn’t be so declined.
How many people in the world today truly follow the path of the painter?
Countable on one’s fingers.
"Just paint, discarding all distractions."
Ye Xuan didn’t waste any more words.
As they talked, they traversed Fu Lei Heaven and arrived at the Thunder Pond, which is known as one of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions!
From afar, the Thunder Pond looked like an ocean of thunder, countless Divine Thunder rolling, lightning densely packed.
Around the entire Thunder Pond, the endless chaos churned, keeping the might of the Thunder Pond contained within, without leaking out.
Yet despite this, hovering outside the Thunder Pond, one could still feel their insignificance, like an inconsequential speck of dust!
It seemed that just a hint of thunder leaking from the Thunder Pond could instantly obliterate them into ash.
This feeling, even Cheng Kes, who had stepped into the Heaven and Earth Great Sage realm, could not avoid.
Cheng Kes’s pretty face was pale, swallowing a mouthful of saliva with extremely serious eyes.
"Remember what I said."
Ye Xuan had no intention of stopping, flying directly towards the Thunder Pond.
"Hey?!"
"Young Master!"
Cheng Kes was suddenly shocked and pale with fright, unable to stop Ye Xuan in time as he already rushed into the Thunder Pond.
"It’s over..."
Cheng Kes felt as if struck by lightning.
Boom!
As expected, the moment Ye Xuan rushed into the Thunder Pond, countless thunders surged towards him instantly.
The terrifying Power of Destruction spread across Ye Xuan’s entire body, aiming to tear Ye Xuan apart.
But, for some reason, the thunder that fell upon Ye Xuan turned into streams of lightning that wandered over his body, unable to harm him!
Ye Xuan remained unscathed!
But those thunders showed no sign of stopping, continuing to bombard Ye Xuan!
Outside the Thunder Pond, Cheng Kes, seeing this scene, couldn’t believe her eyes, her mouth agape.
At this moment, a thought flashed in Cheng Kes’s mind.
This scene must be painted!
Without any hesitation, Cheng Kes took out the sketchpad she carried with her and began to depict the astonishing scene with all her might.
But, after all, the Thunder Pond is the Thunder Pond, and capturing such a miraculous scene wasn’t easy.
Beads of sweat appeared on Cheng Kes’s forehead; her face pale as she strained to commit it to memory.
Only upon trying to paint did she realize how challenging the Thunder Pond was, wasting several sheets of drawing paper without success.
Cheng Kes could only change her approach, deciding to find a breakthrough in Ye Xuan’s figure.
But she had already tried before; capturing Ye Xuan in a painting was impossible.
"Wait!"
"Right now, he’s intertwined with thunder, perhaps that’s the breakthrough!"
Cheng Kes’s mind flashed with inspiration.
She acted on the thought immediately, using the scene of Ye Xuan wrapped in thunder as her breakthrough, she finally painted Ye Xuan for the first time.
Although Ye Xuan’s figure was completely obscured, it was a success!
Soon, a lifelike divine painting emerged.
It was a humanoid figure wreathed in thunder, walking within the vast Thunder Pond, bathed in thunder, as if the master of ten thousand thunders, terrifying beyond compare!
Seeing this, Cheng Kes finally revealed a joyful smile, feeling a weight lifted from her shoulders.
As she turned her gaze back to the Thunder Pond, she found that Ye Xuan’s figure had vanished, seemingly having ventured deeper into the pond.
Cheng Kes couldn’t help but be concerned, but there was nothing she could do, leaving her to wait here.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan had already gone into the depths of the Thunder Pond.
The endless, vast thunders destroyed everything.
But where they fell upon Ye Xuan, they were refining his body.
After all, Ye Xuan’s Daoist Body had long touched upon the opportunity for Great Success; only the presence of Heavenly Dao Suppression prevented him from taking that step.
The Power of Destruction from the Thunder Pond ultimately couldn’t dismantle Ye Xuan’s monstrous physique.
Seven Immortal Bodies, plus the unparalleled Taoist Body since ancient times.
Absolutely no one before or after.
It was the only one in the world!
"Nine Netherworld Phoenix."
After reaching a suitable position, Ye Xuan called the Nine Netherworld Phoenix sleeping within the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.
The Nine Netherworld Phoenix awoke groggily, but sensing the environment around Ye Xuan, it bristled, "Ye Xuan, what are you trying to do?!"
