The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Chapter 1962 - 1959: You Knew Too?

After being captured by an ancient Great Demon, Ye Xuan fell into utter despair and was thrown in as material to be sacrificially refined into an Elixir.That kind of suffering, worse than death, let Ye Xuan experience what true pain really was.

People always say.

Only by going through pain can one truly grow.

This experience made Ye Xuan go through genuine agony, and also brought him true growth.

But in his heart, it also nurtured a violent, murderous hostility.

And this would later lay the groundwork for Ye Xuan becoming the eternal Butcher.

Just like that.

Ye Xuan was thrown into the Pill Furnace and refined for forty‑nine days and nights.

The ancient Great Demon was shocked; this guy had been refined for forty‑nine days and still didn’t die, so it opened the furnace.

At the instant the furnace opened, Ye Xuan suddenly leaped out, wanting to take advantage of the ancient Great Demon’s inattention to cut it down.

The result was, of course, failure.

Ye Xuan did indeed possess a monster’s Undying Body, but he had no strength to speak of; likewise, he still had to endure all kinds of extreme pain.

According to Ye Xuan’s own later judgment, every time he suffered pain, it was at least ten times what an ordinary person could bear.

This was perhaps the only drawback of that Monster Body.

In the end, Ye Xuan was casually suppressed by the ancient Great Demon with a single move.

The ancient Great Demon also discovered Ye Xuan’s peculiarity, but couldn’t figure anything out through its own study, so it found another Great Demon who liked doing research, traded Ye Xuan to that Demon, and received a huge payment.

And in that Great Demon’s hands, Ye Xuan once again suffered endless torment.

This made the hostility in Ye Xuan’s heart grow even stronger.

But this time Ye Xuan wised up; he started pitting his wits and courage against this Great Demon, and learned quite a lot from it.

Yet after one failed escape attempt, he was subjected to merciless abuse.

Originally, Ye Xuan thought he would spend the rest of his life in this torture and abuse, but then justice descended from the heavens—this Great Demon’s enemy appeared and erupted into a great battle with it.

The power of that battle spread to Ye Xuan, who had been sealed away, shattering the Array. Though it subjected Ye Xuan to endless pain, it also allowed him to escape.

After fleeing that place, Ye Xuan no longer appeared directly in front of people. Instead, he found a Black Robe to cloak himself and once more began the long journey to seek his family.

Five years passed.

Ye Xuan’s age reached sixteen, but his temperament had already been tempered to be steadier than that of an adult.

Just as Ye Xuan decided to leave for distant lands to continue searching for the Ye Family, he discovered that he was flying up against his will, heading straight toward an ancient Forbidden Land.

In that Forbidden Land, he found time and space both sealed; he saw many eerie things and even caught sight of a Snow White Coffin.

Then came endless Dark.

Beneath that darkness was that spotless, dust‑free white robe.

Seeing that white robe again, Ye Xuan felt not the slightest joy; instead, he felt boundless cold.

After five years of tempering, Ye Xuan was no longer that eleven‑year‑old child from back then; he instantly understood.

Everything he had gone through was because of this white robe.

"What exactly do you want?!"

Even though Ye Xuan had been tempered and his state of mind had matured, he still couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart and shouted his question in fury.

The white robe did not speak, merely raised a hand lightly.

In an instant, Ye Xuan was suppressed.

Immediately after, Ye Xuan felt an unparalleled power surge into his Soul Sea, searching through everything.

Ye Xuan had no way to resist and could only endure it all.

Soul Search is an extreme method; it will damage a person’s soul.

After enduring the Soul Search, Ye Xuan fell into a deep sleep that lasted ten days and nights.

When he woke up, he found that his memory now contained many things that hadn’t been there before.

Those were clearly things that white robe had forcibly implanted in him, ordering him to search for a Physique known as the Taoist Body.

"You want me to look for it? I just won’t!"

Ye Xuan cursed in his heart.

Then, Ye Xuan discovered that he was once again walking, uncontrollably, toward places he did not want to go.

It was a terrifying Forbidden Land.

Within that Forbidden Land, Ye Xuan encountered a deadly catastrophe.

This time it lasted ten years.

Ten years later, Ye Xuan was again uncontrollably drawn back to the Emperor’s Burial Ground and subjected to another Soul Search by that white robe.

Then he was thrown out of the Emperor’s Burial Ground again.

And so it went, over and over.

He lived through the entire Mythical Era!

But in this process, Ye Xuan also came to know several beings from the Immortal Ancient Era.

They taught Ye Xuan many things.

Ancient beings such as Kunpeng, Thunder Demon, the First Corpse, and others.

It was precisely with the help of these beings that Ye Xuan gained the trump cards to break free from the Emperor Burial Lord’s control.

In the Initial Stage of the Primordial Wilderness era, after Ye Xuan was once again Soul Searched and thrown out of the Emperor’s Burial Ground, he uncontrollably headed toward the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

After entering the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, Ye Xuan retrieved the memories he had actively erased, activated his own layout, and forcibly severed his connection with the Emperor Burial Lord.

It was only at this moment that Ye Xuan could be said to have a life of his own.

On one hand laying out his own plans, on the other searching for his family.

The story is long.

Later on, Ye Xuan didn’t go into detail, merely skimmed over it in one sentence.

After listening, Purple Dragon still felt immense astonishment.

"No wonder you’re so fierce, brother. So you actually went through such a shocking experience."

To be honest, even for Purple Dragon, this was the first time he’d ever heard of such an experience.

"So, that Emperor Burial Lord’s methods are terrifying beyond measure!"

Purple Dragon stroked his chin, pondering. "It’s even possible that this person has already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm."

Ye Xuan shook his head at these words. "Probably not."

Purple Dragon was stunned. "Why are you so certain?"

Ye Xuan said softly, "Because in the process, I investigated some of what happened back then. The current All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were formed after the Ancient Immortal Realm collapsed."

"At the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, there was a peerless War in the Ancient Immortal Realm, brought on by an invasion from beings of the Dou Tian Divine Domain."

"This Emperor Burial Lord is likely from the Dou Tian Divine Domain. If she truly were an Immortal Emperor, the Ancient Immortal Realm would probably have ended up even more miserable."

"The Dou Tian Divine Domain?!"

Purple Dragon’s face suddenly sank.

Ye Xuan was a bit surprised. "You know the Dou Tian Divine Domain?"

Purple Dragon’s gaze grew grave. "I know!"

"I told you before, when I stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm back then, I failed to withstand the Calamity and ultimately fell with regret."

Ye Xuan nodded; Purple Dragon had indeed told him that before.

Looking at Purple Dragon, Ye Xuan frowned. "Could it be that the Dou Tian Divine Domain also had a hand in that?"

Purple Dragon nodded. "That’s right!"

"When I was touching the Immortal Emperor Realm, I saw people from the Dou Tian Divine Domain. They were interfering with that great tribulation."

Speaking up to this point, a cold, razor‑sharp killing intent flashed in Purple Dragon’s eyes.

It was obvious that his fall back then was the greatest regret in Purple Dragon’s heart, not what he had said earlier about failing to marry that Fairy.

Ye Xuan’s frown deepened.

So it seemed that by the mid‑Immortal Ancient Era, the shadow of the Dou Tian Divine Domain was already present.

Thinking back to the words of that eerie little boy.

Ye Xuan’s expression grew somewhat grave.

This Dou Tian Divine Domain is truly a bit terrifying.
