Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 388: Deep in the Canyon

Jade Seal?

Xu Ping’an looked at Tang Xinyue with a puzzled expression as she held the Jade Seal in her hand.

Could it be the Jade Seal of the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty?

Did Tang Xinyue want him to vie for the throne of the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty?

How could that be possible?

Even if she were a princess, surely she couldn’t decide the ownership of the throne.

"This is the Supreme Immortal Seal of the Supreme Immortal Palace from the Primordial Immortal Realm," Tang Xinyue replied.

"The Primordial Immortal Realm? The Supreme Immortal Palace?" Xu Ping’an was startled for a moment, his face showing surprise.

The so-called Primordial Immortal Realm was the unbroken Immortal Realm, and Xu Ping’an knew a little about the Supreme Immortal Palace—it was one of the two major powers in the past Immortal Realm.

Apart from the Supreme Immortal Palace, the other was the Primordial Ancient Demon Temple.

The seventy-two Immortal Emperor Seals were crafted by the Supreme Immortal Palace.

"You should have heard of the seventy-two Immortal Emperor Seals. This Supreme Immortal Seal commands them. It has the ability to suppress the Niwan Palace and can help you stabilize your Niwan Palace. With this treasure, no one within the Seventh Rank can breach your Niwan Palace," Tang Xinyue explained.

"No one within the Seventh Rank can breach it?" Xu Ping’an was a bit astonished.

His current Soul Defense was still strong but it could only handle ordinary Seventh Rank experts. Against some powerful Seventh Rank strongmen or those with considerable soul combat techniques, his defense wouldn’t hold up.

After all, he couldn’t always rely on Cang Xue and Lei Shi—what was his was fundamental.

And this Supreme Immortal Seal must have effects far beyond what she had described.

However, Xu Ping’an shook his head and said, "No need, I didn’t save you to get anything in return, it was out of my own volition. Your gift of Bloodline Power to me is reward enough."

Tang Xinyue seemed somewhat surprised.

This object was the most precious treasure she possessed.

Not to mention Seventh Rank or Eighth Rank strongmen, even some Tenth Rank or Eleventh Rank strongmen would be tempted by it.

Yet Xu Ping’an had refused.

"I haven’t finished. Aside from its own capabilities, there is another crucial point related to the Supreme Immortal Palace’s Supreme Immortal Empress," Tang Xinyue continued.

"The Supreme Immortal Empress?" Xu Ping’an showed a hint of confusion.

"Yes, you may not know, but the Supreme Immortal Empress was the leader of the Supreme Immortal Palace in the past, and also the owner of this Supreme Immortal Seal. It is rumored that the Supreme Immortal Empress hasn’t died but sustained serious injuries upon breaking through the Divine Level Realm, and so her main body fell into a deep slumber. However, before she slept, she created an incarnation, reincarnated, and was born in the Mortal Realm, and this object is the key to finding the Empress’s incarnation," Tang Xinyue went on.

"What use is that? Why should I look for her?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.

Tang Xinyue was taken aback.

That was the Supreme Immortal Empress, the legendary being who could decide the fates of ages.

Countless individuals dreamed of gaining the favor of the Supreme Immortal Empress, yet none had ever seen her face.

If someone could connect with the reincarnated incarnation of the Empress, or even subdue her, there might be unexpected benefits.

"She is the peerless Empress of an era. It is said that if someone could cultivate her from the moment of her rebirth, they might raise a divine level wife," Tang Xinyue said.

Xu Ping’an instantly rolled his eyes.

A divine level wife?

Who knows when this Empress would be reincarnated?

Perhaps she had already been reborn long ago and had now become an old granny?

What was there to cultivate?

Besides, he had no interest in such matters whatsoever.

"Some have speculated that the Empress has already reincarnated, and the most likely candidate is the present Empress of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Ling Qingyao," Tang Xinyue said.

Pfft!

Xu Ping’an nearly stumbled and fell.

"No way," Xu Ping’an asked incredulously.

Who was Ling Qingyao?

She was his former disciple who later became his wife.

Yet she had suddenly betrayed him and killed him in his former life.

If Ling Qingyao truly was the reincarnated incarnation of the Supreme Immortal Palace’s Empress, was Xu Ping’an incredibly unlucky or terribly cursed?

"It’s just speculation. The Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Empress is peerlessly beautiful and exceptionally talented, so people are suspicious, considering the Empress’s incarnation would not be ordinary," Tang Xinyue elaborated.

Xu Ping’an nodded his head.

It’s just speculation, most likely without any basis.

Such an inference is groundless if based solely on talent.

However, Ling Qingyao’s talent is indeed exceptional, and the past Xu Ping’an could feel that there was much potential in her yet to be unearthed.

Back then, Ling Qingyao took less than two hundred years to catch up to him, and now she has probably already surpassed his former self.

Five hundred years have passed, what level of strength would Ling Qingyao possess?

The strongest under the Immortal Emperor?

Or has she already broken the legendary shackles and become an Immortal Emperor level strongwoman?

He believed that with Ling Qingyao’s ambition, she would definitely not be willing to remain constrained by the heavens and earth.

"I won’t want this Supreme Immortal Seal no matter the benefits." Xu Ping’an however, refused.

He always felt that the Jade Seal wasn’t a good thing, perhaps even a hot potato.

The secrets involved with this Supreme Immortal Seal are probably far more than these.

The Immortal Emperor Seal is coveted by countless people.

What more for this Supreme Immortal Seal?

Tang Xinyue looked utterly baffled at Xu Ping’an.

After all she had said, not only was Xu Ping’an not tempted, he seemed even more repulsed now.

This made her doubt whether what she was offering was not a treasure, but trash?

"Xu Ping’an, this is what I owe you, a compensation. If you don’t accept it, are you implying you have other ideas about me?" Tang Xinyue looked at Xu Ping’an and asked.

Xu Ping’an was stumped by Tang Xinyue’s question.

"Other ideas? What ideas? Sleep with you? I did have that thought when I held you before, but not now." Xu Ping’an replied frankly.

Tang Xinyue’s face flushed red instantly.

This jerk, he could actually say such a thing.

Though she had felt such an impulse before, how could she possibly voice her inner thoughts?

"Since you no longer have those thoughts, why not accept it?" Tang Xinyue asked sternly.

"I simply don’t need it." Xu Ping’an answered indifferently.

"If you don’t need it then just throw it away. Anyway, I’m giving it to you. It’s up to you what you do with it." After speaking, Tang Xinyue tossed the Jade Seal directly to Xu Ping’an.

Then, with a flash of her figure, she appeared on shore, now clad in a crimson dress.

"You’re leaving?" Xu Ping’an saw Tang Xinyue was about to leave and instinctively asked.

"Yes, I’m heading to the Seventh Layer. Xu Ping’an, we may never meet again. Just forget what happened today, as if it never occurred," Tang Xinyue said, then darted out of the cave dwelling.

Left with a hint of helplessness, Xu Ping’an had no choice but to continue sitting in the pool and absorbing the power within.

His heart’s True Power had been completely depleted and needed to be replenished.

However, this time the speed of absorption was much faster than before.

Three Hours later, Xu Ping’an also walked out of the cave dwelling.

All the treasures inside the cave dwelling, including the Jade Seal, were taken away by Xu Ping’an.

Hovering at the entrance to the canyon, Xu Ping’an looked down at the pitch-black abyss below, his eyes filled with a hint of curiosity.

It seemed there were terrifying flames deep in the canyon.

Previously, with no Fire Attribute Spirit Root, he couldn’t perceive them clearly, but now possessing the Chaotic Flame constitution and having evolved his heart, he could distinctly feel the dreadful fiery energy beneath the canyon.

"Let’s go down and take a look." Xu Ping’an made up his mind right away.

Thus, he swooped down towards the depths of the canyon.

And as Xu Ping’an delved deeper, he clearly felt an increasingly terrifying aura of fire.

Endless fiery energy surged towards Xu Ping’an’s body.

And Xu Ping’an kept diving deeper.

A thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters…

It seemed to have no end.

But just as Xu Ping’an was about to turn back, a scene before him made him pause.

On the canyon wall beside him, a section suddenly lit up.

Carved there was a row of characters, and their content stunned Xu Ping’an completely.
