Eastern Region, Ji Family ancestral hall.
The palace is majestic and magnificent.
Layers of forbidden light circulated, covering the entire hall airtightly.
At this moment, the hall was full of seats.
On the main seat, Ye Xuan is sitting upright, dressed in white as snow, with his cloak gently swaying behind him.
Ten Imperial Daughters were arranged on both sides, and behind each stood the elders and strongmen of their respective Lineage clans.
The first row is the representative of Seven Great Imperial Clans.
The elders of the seven clans, Chu Clan, Su Clan, Yan Clan, Ji Clan, Ling Clan, Mu Clan, and Xie Clan, have all arrived.
The second row and beyond are the heads of the Great Emperor clans in the four regions.
In just three days, the news of the battle in Blood Prison has spread throughout Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
Heavenly Emperor Son Ye Xuan returns, kills the clone of Ye Xun, crushes Void Heaven Hall, and declares his strong return!
When the news arrived, the four regions were shaken.
Those imperial clans that were once wavering all turned against each other overnight and rushed to worship.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was warm, but there was also an undercurrent.
"Report!"
A Ji Clan monk quickly entered the hall and knelt on one knee.
"Reporting to Heavenly Emperor Son, preliminary results have been obtained for the imperial clans in the four regions to exterminate the remnants of the Heavenly Void Palace."
"Chu Clan, Su Clan, Yan Clan, Ji Clan, Ling Clan, Mu Clan, Xie Clan, Seven Great Imperial Clans have cleared all Heavenly Void Palace strongholds in their respective territories."
"More than 90% of the remaining imperial clans in the four regions have been eliminated."
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
"Where is Heavenly Void Palace?"
The monk paused, his voice solemn.
"Ye Xun acted very quickly. After the Battle of Blood Prison, he immediately recalled all Heavenly Void Palace monks."
"Now..."
He raised his head.
"Heaven has been completely closed and isolated from the outside world."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the palace became condensed.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort suddenly sounded!
The ancestor of the Yan family, Yan Potian, suddenly stood up, with flames surrounding his body, and Nine Calamities Peak's pressure spread!
"In that case, what are you waiting for?!"
He looked at Ye Xuan, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice.
"Heavenly Emperor Son! I'm asking for orders to assemble the armies of the four regions and attack the heaven immediately!"
"While Ye Xun's foothold is still unstable, capture it in one fell swoop!"
As soon as this statement came out, many heads of the imperial clan in the palace agreed!
"Yes! Take advantage of his illness and kill him!"
"Ye Xun has usurped the throne and it is unforgivable to be punished by heaven! Now Heavenly Emperor Son is back and is launching a legitimate crusade!"
"I am willing to be a pioneer!"
The crowd is excited and fighting spirit is high.
"No!"
A cold voice interrupted everyone's excitement.
The ancestor of the Mu family Mu Cangxue stood up, Light Emperor's Blood was flowing around his body, and his eyes were like lightning.
"The four regions have just settled down, and the people's hearts are not yet attached. If you rush to gather an army at this time, I'm afraid it will play into Ye Xun's hands!"
"What's more..."
She paused, her voice solemn.
"The Heavenly Court was built by Heavenly Emperor, and its defense is stronger than Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Even if there are armies from the four regions besieging it, it will not take a hundred years to break through!"
"At that time, if Ye Xun jumps over the wall in a hurry..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
The emperors of the seven clans are still in the hands of Ye Xun!
"What Patriarch Mu said is absolutely true."
Ji Family Ancestor Ji Changkong stood up slowly, with worry in his old voice.
"I have a deep understanding of the stability of heaven. When Heavenly Emperor was in power, he once said, 'As long as heaven does not fall, the emperor's throne will be eternal.' If we attack by force, there will be heavy casualties."
"And..."
He looked at Ye Xuan with deep eyes.
"Ye Xun colluded with the devil. Now that the internal situation of the court is unclear, if we attack rashly, there may be an ambush."
Su Family Ancestor Su Che also spoke, with a deep voice.
"The emperors of the seven clans are imprisoned. They are hostages and weaknesses. If Ye Xun threatens them..."
He shook his head.
"The consequences are disastrous."
For a time, there was a commotion in the palace.
One party advocates war, and the other advocates stability. Each insists on its own opinions and refuses to give in to the other.
On the main seat, Ye Xuan sat quietly, his face as sinking as water.
A long time.
"Actually, this matter is not difficult to say."
He spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but it instantly suppressed all the noise in the palace.
Everyone looked at him together.
Ye Xuan stood up and stood in front of the main seat with his hands behind his back.
"Seniors, each of you has your own reasons."
He paused and glanced at everyone in the hall.
"We cannot delay the retaking of Heaven. But attacking by force with the armies of the four regions is indeed not the best strategy."
"What's more..."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are still in the hands of Ye Xun."
The emperors of the seven clans were his biggest concern in this battle.
Ye Xun knows that person very well.
When pressed, he can do anything.
"So..."
Ye Xuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"The top priority is to ensure the safety of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"And I know a way..."
He paused, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"You can enter the heaven directly."
What?!
Everyone's expression changed!
Enter heaven directly?!
How is that possible?!
"Husband..."
Chu Wan'er suddenly spoke, a strange color flashing in his beautiful eyes.
"Isn't that the way you said?"
She looked at Ye Xuan, then at Ji Xueyao and others.
The seven girls looked at each other and almost exclaimed at the same time!
"Ascending Sky Ladder!"
Ascending Sky Ladder?!
As soon as these four words came out, all the heads of the imperial clan in the palace stood up together!
There were exclamations everywhere!
"Ascending Sky Ladder? The legendary Sky Ladder that leads directly to the Emperor's Palace?!"
" When Heavenly Emperor was alive, the strongest trial was set up to encourage the younger generations!"
"It is rumored that if you can pass the test of Ascending Sky Ladder, you can understand a hint of the emperor's way and be promoted to Quasi Emperor!"
"But..."
Someone swallowed hard.
"Heavenly Emperor has been preaching for two million years, and no one has ever passed it alive!"
"When the seven Great Emperor girls were not promoted to Quasi Emperor, they didn't dare to embark on that path!"
"Heavenly Emperor Son, you..."
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking calm.
"Ascending Sky Ladder is made by refining a section of Immortal Ascension Path taken by my father."
He spoke slowly.
"The difficulty of this level will be automatically adjusted based on the climber's talent."
"The higher the talent, the greater the difficulty."
"So..."
Chu Wan'er answered, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
"The stronger your husband is, the harder it will be to reach heaven!"
"That's going to kill you!"
"Haha." Ye Xuan chuckled and shook his head.
"Not afraid."
He raised his eyes, his eyes like lightning.
"Actually, I wanted to try it 40,000 years ago."
"It's just that at that time, the promotion to Quasi Emperor was too fast and there was no time."
He paused and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Besides, I also want to visit the Imperial Palace."
That tone was calm and gentle.
"Husband!"
Ten Imperial Daughters all come forward!
Chu Wan'er held his hand, her beautiful eyes full of determination.
"Ascending Sky Ladder is more than one!"
"Let's go too!"
Ji Xueyao, Yan Jiuyou, Su Bingyan, Ling Yeyue, Xie Wanxing, Mu Mei, Ji Youxuan, Xu Linglong, Xuan Ru Chen.
The nine girls all took a step forward!
"Brother!"
Gu Ye carried Xingtian Battle Axe and strode forward!
"I'll go too!"
Zhu Tian is taciturn, but also stands silently behind Gu Ye.
Three demons, Tian Yan, Little Dragon, and Jin Gang, stepped forward at the same time!
"Master, and us!"
For a time, the crowd was excited!
Ye Xuan Looking at the determined faces in front of him, a warm current surged in his heart.
"Imperial Son, and me!"
A voice suddenly sounded from outside the palace!
Everyone turned their heads!
I saw a slender figure standing at the door of the palace!
The man had a long sword on his back, a stern face, and an awe-inspiring sword intent all over his body!
Eight Tribulation Heavenly Venerable!
Jun Wuji!
"Jun Wuji?"
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You want to go too?"
"Yes." Jun Wuji knelt down in front of the temple.
"My life was given by Imperial Son."
"I'm not afraid of death."
He raised his head, his eyes that were always cold and stern were full of determination at this moment.
"This is the only way I can attack Quasi Emperor."
"I..."
"Want to be Quasi Emperor!"
Ye Xuan looked at him and was silent for a long time.
This Sword Cultivator, who had been catching up all the way from the Lower Realm, had been defeated by him countless times, but had never truly admitted defeat.
Now, he stands here, with this attitude, and says these words.
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled.
"Okay."
He nodded.
"Since you have this intention."
"Then let's go together!"
Jun Wuji was shocked all over, and ecstasy flashed in his eyes!
"Thank you Imperial Son!"
He kowtowed heavily!
Ye Xuan raised his hand for support and glanced at everyone in the hall.
"That's it, it's settled."
"In three days, set off Ascending Sky Ladder!"
"Let's all get ready."
Everyone bowed and filed out.
The palace gradually became quiet.
Ye Xuan was about to get up, but found that Chu Wan'er was still standing there and did not leave.
"Wan'er?"
He looked at her.
"Anything else?"
Chu Wan'er moved lightly, walked to him, and gently held his hand.
A sly smile appeared on that beautiful face.
"Husband..."
She spoke, her voice soft but with a hint of weirdness.
"There is something I want to discuss with you."
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"What's the matter?"
he laughed.
"You are Imperial Consort, you can make your own decision."
Chu Wan'er shook his head.
"This matter can't be done."
She pursed her lips and looked straight at Ye Xuan with her beautiful eyes.
"I want..."
She pursed her lips and whispered.
"Help your husband choose a group of concubines."
"What did you say?!" Ye Xuan was stunned.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Choose a concubine?!
At this time?!
Is my daughter-in-law looking for a woman for me?
