51: Is there really a chance of winning in Chapter 51?

Emperor Ye Shimin, the Retired Emperor of Great Qin, seeing his precious daughter being whisked away, said indignantly, "Hmph, it would be one thing if that brat did this in private, but now he's even doing it right in front of us."

Five miles away, Emperor Ye Shimin and Xue Ruoshuang stood together, the former pouting with evident displeasure.

"Hmph, you're just jealous that little Ye Xuan is better looking than you."

Xue Ruoshuang looked at Emperor Ye Shimin coldly, a hint of charm flashing in her beautiful eyes, before she reached out her soft hand to pinch her man's ear tightly.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Ruoshuang, you're using too much force!"

"Hmph!"

Xue Ruoshuang rolled her eyes at her man. "If you ask me, if the child Ye Xuan followed me back to the Taiyin Holy Land, he would certainly receive better cultivation and wouldn't need to return to the Cangqiong Holy Land to fight those disciples for resources."

"Um, Aunt Xue, I think the Cangqiong Holy Land suits me just fine," Ye Xuan said, scratching his head softly.

"Is that so?" Xue Ruoshuang looked at the child with some regret. "And another thing, Emperor Ye Shimin, are you really unwilling to return to the Taiyin Holy Land with me?"

"No, I want to properly guard the foundation left by our ancestors. It's enough that Ye Qingyan goes back with you."

Emperor Ye Shimin's eyes were complex, but he continued, "With the spirit medicine and spirit stones you left for me, it will be enough for me to cultivate to the Earth Profound Realm, so there is no need to worry."

"Hmph, do you think it's bad to be a kept man?" Xue Ruoshuang's voice suddenly became overbearing, and a hint of anger appeared on her beautiful face.

Ye Xuan hurriedly said, "Not at all, Sister Xue, look at Uncle Ye, isn't he enjoying it?"

"Ruoshuang, you!"

"What about me? Aren't you a kept man? Didn't you accept all the spirit rings just now?" Xue Ruoshuang glared at Emperor Ye Shimin with dissatisfaction.

"Sigh, I'm not..." Emperor Ye Shimin, who only had the cultivation of the eighth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, was truly very obedient in front of his wife.

When the time came to part, a certain little confused girl was inevitably reluctant.

"Brother Xuan, you must not forget to come to the Taiyin Holy Land to find me in the future!" Ye Qingyan looked at Ye Xuan one last time with reluctance.

The Great Wall under the night sky appeared exceptionally magnificent.

Ye Xuan watched Xue Ruoshuang and her daughter leave; at this moment, a new tooth mark appeared on his fair arm.

On the other side, there was a red slap mark on Emperor Ye Shimin's face because he hadn't hugged his wife, Xue Ruoshuang, for too long, and she had slapped him in her shyness...

It hurt, it really hurt.

Before leaving, Ye Xuan could only give her a meager sixth-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman, which was the best killing method he had obtained from the mysterious tomb.

Ye Qingyan naturally accepted it happily.

Before leaving, the heavy responsibility of Great Qin could only be placed on the shoulders of Uncle Ye Shimin.

In addition, Ye Xuan also began to practice the "Five Separations Fire Control Art" he had obtained earlier. The Great Qin royal treasury happened to have a strange black spirit fire, which was a bargain for Ye Xuan.

It was just right for hatching the Ice Phoenix egg he had received from Sister Xue.

In the name of it, Ye Xuan and Ye Qingyan each had one, making a perfect pair.

"Seriously, why give this to me too? Does she want me to be a nanny?"

Ye Xuan speechlessly scanned the Ice Phoenix egg inside his spirit ring with his divine sense.

Then he started studying the "Five Separations Fire Control Art" again, but suddenly, due to a moment of carelessness, he failed to control the ball of black spirit fire, and it drifted directly onto the Ice Phoenix egg.

"Damn it!" Ye Xuan's expression changed, and feeling annoyed, he began to look for a remedy.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—" The azure egg was trembling, as if it were afraid of something, but it soon swallowed the ball of flame and let out a burp, as if it hadn't eaten enough.

An inexplicable feeling was transmitted to Ye Xuan's divine sense; it seemed to want to eat more.

"Could this black spirit fire be the Undying Flame?"

Ye Xuan suspiciously observed the flame in his hand. The totem of Great Qin was indeed related to a mysterious bird, but he hadn't expected it to actually be connected to the Undying Bird.

Aunt Xue had given him two treasures earlier, and Uncle Ye was too embarrassed to not give him anything, so he had to take him to the Great Qin treasury with a dark face to choose this spirit fire. Who knew this thing would be so useful.

"Don't, if I roast you, Ye Qingyan will peel my skin off when she returns."

Ye Xuan shuddered and retracted the Undying Spirit Fire.

However, the egg soon sent another wave of longing. Unable to resist, Ye Xuan could only agree to it—only for a little while a day, not too long—and only then did the egg settle down.

At the same time, a thought occurred to him: it shouldn't be long before this Phoenix egg hatches.

Next, Ye Xuan had to consider returning to the Cangqiong Holy Land to participate in the Inner Sect Competition. The puppet of tianxuan realm flying in the sky was a bit too conspicuous, so it was better to let the immortal crane Xiao Jiu take him back for now.

These few days, he just needed to consolidate the Mystic Power techniques and Mystic Arts he had obtained.

He would strive to win the Inner Sect Competition.

The Earth-grade movement Mystic Art "Cloud Shadow Carefree Steps" and the Heaven-grade Mystic Art "Seven Arts of the Ice Phoenix" were the two Mystic Arts that could exert the greatest power at his current stage.

As for the "Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Art" and the "Evil God Art", Ye Xuan felt that they required a higher realm to be used better.

"Heaven-grade Mystic Art 'Seven Arts of the Ice Phoenix', let me test your power."

Ye Xuan probed into it with his divine sense, but could only see the first move—Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles, which was the move Aunt Xue used to deal with those people from the Heavenly Demon Sect last time.

If a cultivator of the Heaven Profound Realm used this move with full power, it would be enough to freeze a small dynasty into an ice sculpture. If Aunt Xue used it with full power, she would likely be able to instantly freeze ten thousand miles in the vicinity.

If Ye Xuan used it, he would at most only be able to freeze a hundred miles in the vicinity, and that was assuming he exhausted his Mystic Power.

In a void, a giant Ice Phoenix spread its wings and roamed. Suddenly, an ancient demonic bear pounced over, but it was completely frozen by the cold air formed by waves of white Mystic Power blown out by the Ice Phoenix.

Soon, with his world-shocking comprehension, Ye Xuan quickly mastered the move Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles.

He arrived between the mountains.

"Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles!"

Ye Xuan urged all the Mystic Power in his body and easily waved his hand forward. Endless cold air suddenly spread inch by inch, and the originally scorching weather began to become unusually cold.

A hundred-foot-tall mountain was instantly frozen, becoming a lifelike ice sculpture; even with the sun in the sky, it could not melt this mountain.

"The power is not bad, it's acceptable."

Although Ye Xuan had exhausted his Mystic Power, he was not drained of strength, and he looked at this scene with excitement.

Compared to the Mystic Art that could be used by the first level of the Evil God Art, Evil Soul—Moon-Grabbing Star-Falling—it was slightly inferior, but this move could be considered an area-of-effect Mystic Art, which was also quite good for clearing the field.

A day of cultivation passed quickly.

Ye Xuan sat in the mountains, constantly perfecting his foundation, and finally, the bottleneck broke, reaching the fifth level of the Spirit Profound Realm.

Compared to the ending he had seen in his life's destiny before, things had become different now; his cultivation had become higher.

Does such a Yun Zhe really have a chance of winning?

Both competing for first place?
