The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1312 - 1309: Conversation

"That great figure has already died..."

The Curse Tree’s face was tinged with a trace of sorrow, and in its turbid old eyes, a light of hatred burst forth.

Ye Xuan’s expression turned a bit peculiar.

According to the information he had previously obtained from the Curse Tree, Ye Xuan had many guesses about the Death Netherworld.

However, the current words of the Curse Tree forced Ye Xuan to overturn his previous speculations.

The appearance of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix and that Mutant Beast indeed caught Ye Xuan off guard.

For a moment, he was also uncertain about what exactly the secret of this Death Netherworld was.

"So, the Master of Netherworld has absolutely nothing to do with your great figure?" Ye Xuan asked with an odd expression.

"Exactly," the Curse Tree nodded.

"That is to say, aside from the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, the Master of Netherworld also suppresses another unknown entity, is that correct?" Ye Xuan looked at the Curse Tree.

"Yes," the Curse Tree nodded again.

Ye Xuan fell into contemplation.

So it seems, in the Death Netherworld, the suppressed unknown entities are definitely not just one.

Involuntarily, Ye Xuan thought of the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

In the ten dangerous passes, within the first dangerous pass—the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Land, there lies an unknown entity capable of engulfing all life...

The second dangerous pass features the Lantern Ancient Beast King, which indeed is being suppressed.

Even the thing being suppressed, Ye Xuan has thoroughly explored it.

Within Empty Ancient City, things are rather unusual.

Later on, in dangerous passes like the Crow Grave, corresponding anomalies also exist.

Some are suppressed, while others seem not to be so...

Scenes of the past when Ye Xuan ventured into the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions flashed through his mind, and his expression began to change gradually.

Ye Xuan looked up at the Curse Tree and asked softly, "Who exactly is your great figure?"

The Curse Tree glanced, with a mournful expression, a somber tune, "She was an unparalleled presence across ancient and modern times, my life’s pride was serving her."

Ye Xuan squinted a bit, able to see that this guy didn’t speak further.

So the great figure in the mouth of the Curse Tree seems indeed to be an extraordinary presence.

It’s just...

How such a level of existence could fall?

Ye Xuan felt somewhat intrigued.

It’s difficult to kill even the Curse Tree alone.

Back then, Ye Xuan spared no effort to capture the Curse Tree’s origin, and in the end, he almost got trapped.

In the end, the Curse Tree didn’t die either.

The presence that even the Curse Tree serves surely wouldn’t be weak.

Yet, such a person vanished in the long river of history.

Thinking of this, a trace of gloom inevitably rose in Ye Xuan’s heart.

Someday, he will stand before the Emperor Burial Lord and pose those questions. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Revenge is also inevitable!

"Will that guy break free?"

Ye Xuan thought of the feedback the Taixu Pearl just gave him, looking at the Curse Tree, he asked the question in his heart.

The Curse Tree shook its head, saying, "That’s impossible, you saw just now—the Four Pillars of Netherworld—no one in this world can escape the suppression of the Four Pillars of Netherworld, if you don’t understand the meaning within, this old one can clearly tell you."

"The so-called Great Emperor will be directly suppressed to death."

"Understand?"

In an extremely ordinary tone, the Curse Tree spoke of the terror of the Four Pillars of Netherworld.

Great Emperor!

What does that concept entail?

Holding the destiny of an era, it is the most terrifying presence of fortune in that time, synonymous with invincibility.

Yet, the Four Pillars of Netherworld can suppress even a Great Emperor to death!

It shows just how frightening these Four Pillars of Netherworld are!

Ye Xuan squinted a bit, vaguely able to guess at what level the Nine Netherworld Phoenix might be.

After a pause, Ye Xuan asked again, "So... are you really sure that this heinous thing is of this world?"

The Curse Tree frowned and said, "Didn’t you just ask this question? What exactly do you mean by that?"

Ye Xuan said calmly, "As you heard, literally."

The Curse Tree’s brows furrowed tightly, saying, "Does the result matter?"

Ye Xuan squinted, his face bearing a serious expression, "Extremely important!"

The Curse Tree pondered for a moment and then said, "According to what this old one knows, it is of this world."

Ye Xuan sighed softly and said faintly, "In other words, even you aren’t very sure?"

The Curse Tree was silent for a moment, "...Yes, you could say that."

Ye Xuan asked no further.

The Curse Tree’s brows were still furrowed, "If you know something, just tell this old one directly, otherwise I can’t judge anything."

Ye Xuan looked up at the Curse Tree, then glanced into the distance, his eyes cold, "Have you ever seen an eye?"

The Curse Tree frowned, "An eye?"

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, a golden vertical eye."

The Curse Tree thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Haven’t seen it."

Ye Xuan said in a solemn tone, "It is in the Dao Chu Ancient Land, and as far as I know, it is not of this world."

When saying ’this world’, Ye Xuan emphasized his tone.

The Curse Tree understood Ye Xuan’s meaning, and its face changed slightly, "Has anything changed in the Dao Chu Ancient Land?"

Ye Xuan chuckled, "There have been major changes. The moment the great era begins, the Dao Chu Ancient Land is likely to descend upon the world, and then the Death Netherworld might as well."

The Curse Tree’s face changed drastically, "If that’s the case, then it’s all over..."

Ye Xuan looked at the Curse Tree with a smile, "Are you scared?"

The Curse Tree didn’t deny it.

Ye Xuan put his hands behind his head, gazing at the distance, and said softly, "Why be afraid? If the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up, only when the tall ones are crushed to death will it be our turn."

The Curse Tree remained silent, giving Ye Xuan a deep look, "You’re not low either."

Ye Xuan neither affirmed nor denied.

"Your return this time, is mainly to retrieve your item, isn’t it?" the Curse Tree hinted.

"That’s right," Ye Xuan did not conceal it either.

The matter of the Silence Immortal Wheel, the Curse Tree clearly already knew, continuing to lie would instead arouse its suspicion.

The Curse Tree spoke softly, "That thing is not simple, used well, it can be greatly useful."

Ye Xuan glanced at the Curse Tree, seemingly saying, I’m no fool.

The Curse Tree realized it had said something unnecessary, chuckled, and said, "Where are you headed now? There’s still half a month until the exit appears, do you want this old one to take you out?"

Ye Xuan put his hands back in his pockets, shook his head, and said, "I still need to go to the Curse Abyss."

The Curse Tree restrained its smile and frowned, "What are you heading there for?"

Noticing the Curse Tree’s hint of vigilance, Ye Xuan smiled, "Rest assured, I’m not taking anyone out this time, besides I can’t take anyone out now."

The Curse Tree sized up Ye Xuan, perhaps confirming that Ye Xuan indeed couldn’t take anyone out now, and then nodded, "This old one will see you off."

As he spoke, the Curse Tree’s roots moved, tearing open a rift in the void directly.

On the other side of the void rift, the aura of the Curse Abyss came through.

"Thank you."

Ye Xuan didn’t look back and plunged into the void rift.

"This guy..." the Curse Tree shook its head.
