505: Did the ancient celestial court want to form a marriage alliance?

In the distant Star Domain, on a Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan warship that was frantically attempting spatial leaps to escape the range of the Ziwei Star Domain, all the clansmen suddenly cried out in unison.

Their Bloodline Origin seemed to be ignited, and their cultivation levels began to regress uncontrollably!

In a Netherworld outpost hidden within a dead silent galaxy, the Netherworld Envoys stationed there discovered in terror that the Death Qi they relied on for survival was rapidly dissipating, and the Soul Lamps at the core of the outpost were extinguishing in large numbers!

Even the Ancestral Stars of some races that had only provided intelligence, not participated directly in the battle, but harbored malice, suddenly experienced heavenly calamities: the stars dimmed, Spiritual Qi ran rampant, and the Dao Foundations of the strong members of the race were inexplicably damaged!

Ye Xuan's reckoning did not end just because the enemies fled.

Having finished all this, Ye Xuan stood in the starry sky with his hands clasped behind his back.

He knew that today's thunderous measures were enough to deter the petty villains and buy time for the Ye Family.

But he was even clearer that the real challenge came from those ancient existences who stood at the peak of the Myriad Realms, looking down through the ages.

The core of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the depths of the Netherworld Land, and even other immortal Legacies... they would never easily abandon their covetousness for Chaos and the Ancestral Dragon.

“Come on, I'm waiting for you.”

...Ye Xuan used thunderous methods to purge external enemies, sweeping across the Myriad Realms like a storm.

The shock brought about this time was far stronger and more profound than any previous occasion.

“Destroying an Immortal King with a glance, suppressing a Star Domain with a word, cursing ten thousand races with a thought... is this Ye Xuan truly invincible in the world now?”

The Sect Master of an ancient Dao Tradition let out a sigh of disbelief.

“The authority of Chaos and the stars are combined in one body, and he is accompanied by the Ancestral Dragon... Such Luck is rare throughout history; the rise of the Ye Family is unstoppable.”

A Mighty Figure skilled in deducing Heavenly Secrets concluded this, warning his Disciples never to make an enemy of the Ye Family.

Those forces whose strong members had been killed by Ye Xuan were even more terrified and silent.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan sealed their mountain gate and announced that their clansmen would not enter the starry sky for tens of thousands of years.

Several races that had provided intelligence sent envoys bearing heavy gifts to the Ziwei Star Domain to plead for forgiveness.

Even some Ancient Clans with profound foundations quietly withdrew the spies they had placed near the Ziwei Star Domain.

After this battle, the name of Ye Xuan, the Chaos Star Lord, truly became a revered title among the ranks of the top powerhouses in the Myriad Realms.

The Ziwei Ye Family also established its hegemonic status in one fell swoop, and no force dared to challenge it easily again.

However, beneath the surface calm, undercurrents still surged... Ancient Heavenly Court, Tianshu Heavenly Palace.

They were no longer projections of will; several majestic figures shrouded in endless immortal light truly gathered here.

Their aura was like an abyss, connected to the Luck of the entire Heavenly Court, and they were, remarkably, the true wielders of power in the Heavenly Court—the ancient Emperor Lords.

“Ye Xuan has already established himself; suppressing him by force would cost too much.”

An Emperor Lord spoke slowly, his voice sounding like metal clashing.

“The chaos dao seed, the Ziwei authority, the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline... all carry immense Karma. Perhaps, we can try a different approach.”

Another Emperor Lord chimed in, his gaze profound.

“A marriage alliance.”

The Emperor Lord seated at the head, whose aura was the most vast and ethereal, uttered two words, setting the tone.

“Show weakness, form kinship, and plot slowly.”

“No, wouldn't that play right into the hands of others? Moreover, the one for the Heavenly Court's marriage alliance must be Xuanji now. Absolutely not.”

A figure of light bathed in silver radiance on the high platform spoke slowly.

“Perhaps Xuanji's opinion should be sought on this matter.”

“No! Marrying off others is fine, but Xuanji is absolutely forbidden. This matter needs no further discussion.”

...Netherworld Land, Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

Several wriggling shadows were communicating.

“Seizing him by force is no longer feasible. This child, Ye Xuan, has flourishing Luck.”

“The Ancestral Dragon Soul... perhaps we can start with those close to him. That little girl named Ya Ya, her Dragon Soul has just awakened, and her will is not yet firm...”

“Those hypocrites from the Heavenly Court will definitely make a move as well. We cannot fall behind.”

...It wasn't just the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld Land; some races or Divine Dynasties in the Myriad Realms that possessed ancient Legacies and powerful Bloodlines also began to scheme.

The invincible strength displayed by Ye Xuan and the astonishing potential contained within the Ye Family allowed many forces to see the possibility of investing in the future.

If they could form a marriage alliance and solidify their relationship, it would undoubtedly be a huge guarantee and Opportunity.

For a time, the ancient stellar path leading to the Ziwei Star Domain became bustling once more.

However, this time, they were no longer warships, but rather embassy Flying Boats, gorgeously decorated and emitting peaceful auras.

Aboard the Flying Boats were treasures and ancient texts from various races, as well as Goddesses, Saintesses, and Princesses of noble status, peerless beauty, and extraordinary talent.

Proposals for marriage alliances flew toward the Ziwei Great Emperor Star like snowflakes... The Ye Family Secret Realm, after a period of recuperation, had recovered its former peace and serenity, and the Spiritual Qi had become even denser due to the convergence of more Star Origin.

Coupled with the Sea of Qi Luck, the Spiritual Qi in the Ye Family Secret Realm now was no less than that of the true Great Clans.

Ye Xuan sat within the newly renovated main hall of the Imperial Palace. Below him were his wives, including Tang Linglong, Fire Linger, and Yan Ruyu, as well as core elders like Ye Qingtian.

“Husband, this is the list of forces that have recently come to submit alliance proposals and even requests for marriage alliances.”

Tang Linglong handed a Jade Slip to Ye Xuan. Her expression was calm, but there was a hint of subtle complexity deep in her eyes.

Although she knew that given Ye Xuan's current status, this matter was almost inevitable, as a wife, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Fire Linger, who was straightforward, immediately let out a cold snort upon hearing this.

“They came knocking on our door wanting to destroy us before, and now they know how to come and flatter us!”

Yan Ruyu smiled gently and whispered, "This is the norm for interactions between powers. Husband will make his own decision."

Ye Xuan took the Jade Slip and swept it with his Divine Sense. It listed dozens of top-tier forces, including behemoths that shook the region, such as the Ancient Heavenly Court, the True Phoenix Divine Dynasty, and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan. The proposed marriage candidates were all the most brilliant jewels of their respective powers.

He put down the Jade Slip, his gaze sweeping over everyone, finally resting on Tang Linglong and the other women. He smiled slightly: "The Ye Family's success today is the result of the concerted efforts and bloody battles of all my wives and clansmen. My heart, Ye Xuan's heart, is also with the Ye Family, with Ziwei."

He did not directly answer the matter of the marriage alliance, but the meaning in his words was already clear.

Even if he agreed to a marriage alliance, it would absolutely not cause him to waver in his stance toward other forces.

“As for these marriage proposals...”

Ye Xuan tapped the armrest gently with his fingertip, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.

“Rejecting all of them would make the Ye Family seem heartless and easily isolated. Agreeing to all of them is even more absurd. My Ye Family does not rely on marriage alliances to survive, and besides, what they have sent this time are not the best candidates. Therefore, let's postpone the marriage alliance matter for now.”

He paused, then continued: “Continue to release the news that the Ye Family is temporarily not considering marriage alliances. If they wish to form friendships, they may send envoys to be permanently stationed on the Ziwei Great Emperor Star to exchange resources, communicate, and jointly study the Great Dao. My Ye Family welcomes friends.”
