Shrouding the Heavens: Simultaneous Transmigration, Heavenly Emperor's Stern Father

"Keep making things up!" Duan De roared inwardly, but dared not utter a sound.

"Oh? Since it's in the Northern Region, could it be a source mine?" Yan Ruyu asked tentatively.

Surely the dignified Lord Tianxuan wouldn't need to use this to deceive her?

"Indeed, it is a source mine."

Ye Chen said in a serious tone.

As everyone knows, the Yao Guang Holy Land belongs to him.

"It is located on the outskirts of the Primordial Ancient Mine in the Northern Region. Although it is not as good as the main mine of the Holy Land Family, it is enough to support the needs of a medium-sized sect for a thousand years."

The Northern Region is vast and its power structures are complex; even ancient aristocratic families cannot control everything.

More importantly, the Northern Region is one of the birthplaces of the demon race; your kin reside there, and the demon race's foundation lies there.

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "The demon race is no longer the same as it was ten thousand years ago."

Although the demon clan of the Northern Region has a foundation, it has no substantial connection with the lineage of the Azure Emperor. Unless absolutely necessary, she does not want to leave her homeland and live under someone else's roof.

"The demon race is declining, that's a fact, but things can be changed by human effort. Tianxuan will also develop in the Northern Region, not far from the Primordial Ancient Mine."

Ye Chen's tone was calm, yet his words carried weight.

"Fairy Yan, the alliance isn't just talk. Your inheritance is flawed, and the so-called seal can't contain that imperial heart at all..."

"Because there is something within my son that can suppress the Emperor's heart, the seal you created is useless to him."

Yan Ruyu's expression changed slightly.

She truly didn't know that Ye Fan harbored other secrets.

The man in front of them clearly knew everything about his "son".

"Since the seal on the Emperor's Heart was originally problematic, let's think about it another way... I will solve this technical problem for you, and in return, you will move with me to the Northern Region."

The Tianxuan Holy Land provides protection for the lineage of the Azure Emperor.

The Azure Emperor lineage provided the Tianxuan Holy Land with Demon Emperor scriptures and imperial blood, along with the deterrent power of imperial weapons. The two families joined forces to establish a foothold in the Northern Region.

Yan Ruyu stared into his eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

The Chaos Lotus slowly rotated in her palm, emitting a faint chaotic light.

Qin Yao couldn't help but speak up from the side:

"Your Highness, what this person says makes sense, but the matter of relocating the clan is of great importance..."

"I know."

Yan Ruyu raised her hand to stop Qin Yao.

Her gaze never left Ye Chen. "Fellow Daoist Ye, you just said that there are two Saints in the Tianxuan Holy Land. Where is the second Saint?"

Ye Chen did not answer.

He glanced back at the old madman.

The old madman fished without turning his head, his hoarse voice drifting over:

"They will be there when it's time."

...Look, the older generation not only has a wealth of fighting techniques, but also a wealth of experience. Ye Chen swears that he has never practiced this part with the old madman.

The old madman had absolutely no idea that Wei Yi was still alive in the Northern Region.

...No, you guys actually have them?!

A sage would naturally disdain to deceive her with such words, and Yan Ruyu took a deep breath:

"I have one last question: How will the imperial blood produced from Ye Fan's nurturing of the imperial heart be distributed?"

"I get seven, you get three."

Ye Chen did not hesitate.

"The Holy Body is ours, the Imperial Heart is yours, but this nurturing program is something my son risked his life for. To be fair, it's not unreasonable for him to take a little more, is it?"

"make a deal."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and extended his hand.

Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand as well.

It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and had a nice feel to it, but Ye Chen only gave it a symbolic squeeze before quickly separating.

An alliance that will determine the rise and fall of two companies...

And so, witnessed by the old madman who was fishing, the little girl who was picking up fish, and Duan De who was trapped in the Dao patterned cage and dared not move, the agreement was reached.

After the details were agreed upon, Ye Chen released Duan De from the Dao Pattern Cage.

The fat Taoist priest regained his freedom, but instead of running away immediately, he plopped down on the ground and sighed to the heavens:

"I, Daoist Master, have roamed the Eastern Wilderness and dug up more graves than you have walked roads. Yet today I have been defeated by a Daoist cultivator and a crazy old man."

Are all people with the surname Ye this inhuman?

Ye Chen squatted down next to him and patted his shoulder: "Daoist Master, I have always admired you. Your tomb raiding skills are unmatched in the Eastern Wilderness!"

Our Tianxuan Holy Land is in dire need of reconstruction, and we are in dire need of a guest elder to oversee underground archaeological research. The benefits are generous, and the elder will have priority in selecting one item from each archaeological find.

Ye Chen was prepared for any eventuality.

They've already started making plans for the future Devouring Demon Cover!

After all, that's my precious daughter's inheritance; how can it fall into the hands of others?

"Priority selection?" Duan De's eyes lit up. "Is that really true?"

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?"

"What you were saying outside just now implied was that you wanted to settle old scores with me for deceiving your son."

"That was just now. Now we are a loving family. There's no reason for family members to settle scores."

Duan De fell silent.

He glanced at Ye Chen, then at the old madman teaching a little girl to fish in the distance, and then at the descendant of the Azure Emperor sitting quietly drinking tea in the pavilion.

Suddenly, I feel like everything that happened today is a dream.

He had spent half his life digging graves and taking advantage of others, but this was the first time he had been tied to a war chariot, and he even felt that the chariot was heading towards a bright future.

"Fellow Daoist Ye."

Duan De suddenly asked, "How many saints does your Tianxuan Holy Land actually have?"

"two."

"real?"

Ye Chen stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and walked towards the old, crooked tree.

Under the tree, the old madman was handing a lively, wriggling fish to the little girl.

The setting sun shone through the gaps in the peach grove, casting a warm golden glow on the two figures, one old and one young.

"Old Tianxuan is not dead, he has simply faded away."

Ye Chen did not answer Duan De's question directly.

But when he looked at the old madman, the certainty in his eyes made Duan De suddenly understand what that sentence really meant.

The little girl, carrying the spirit fish, ran up to Ye Chen, tilting her head up and smiling sweetly:

"Uncle, look! Grandpa caught so many fish!"

Ye Chen picked her up, and the spirit fish swung its tail in her arms, splashing water all over his face. He smiled and wiped the water droplets off his face, just in time to meet Yan Ruyu's gaze.

She stood under a peach tree, petals falling on her shoulders, with peach blossoms covering the mountains and fields behind her.

Yan Ruyu looked at this man and suddenly felt...

Perhaps the alliance between Tianxuan and the descendants of the Azure Emperor would be a good deal.

"We'll be staying here for a while."

Ye Chen turned around and smiled.

Yan Ruyu nodded, put away the green lotus, and watched the figure leading the little girl disappear at the end of the peach grove. The green lotus seed flickered in her palm.

An old woman who had transformed into a dragon suddenly appeared: "Your Highness, do you really believe him?"

"I don't believe him, I don't believe you, and I don't even believe myself. But I believe in the vision of our ancestors."

Now she suddenly felt that the person chosen by her ancestors didn't seem very proper, but he wasn't unpleasant either.

On the contrary, isn't it quite interesting?

"Your Highness..." Qin Yao leaned closer, looking aggrieved, "What do we do next?"

Yan Ruyu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.

The laughter was very faint, like ripples on the water caused by a peach petal falling on the surface.

She turned and walked into the depths of the peach grove, leaving behind a single sentence in a low voice that left Qin Yao stunned.

"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go with them."
