It turns out that having the ability to deduce events is quite useful. Even if you can't see the scene directly, you can still imagine it through deduction.
A group of unserious quasi-emperors left, walking arm in arm.
Then, a group of serious quasi-emperors followed them, but with a difference—they were all carrying emperor weapons.
Soon, screams echoed through the air, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
Ren Wang could deduce things, sure, but he still needed to be able to see them. If you're doing shameless things, of course you'd get beaten.
In the spatial realm, the lake water was still rippling rhythmically.
There were occasional soft moans from a woman and heavy breathing from a man, the two sounds intertwining in an intriguing way.
At the bottom of the lake, the scene was indeed sensual, with everything happening in such haste that not all clothes were even removed—it was quite a sight.
For three full days, it wasn't until the third day that the lake surface gradually calmed.
As waves subsided, Ye Chen led Chu Xuan out.
Ye Chen looked refreshed, his face beaming with a big "satisfied" expression. After holding back for over a thousand years, how could he not be? If there weren't other matters to attend to, it might have gone on for ten days or half a month.
Chu Xuan's cheeks were flushed a deep red, utterly charming, her beautiful eyes sparkling like water, without a trace of impurity.
Though she was Ye Chen's shizun, when it came to matters between men and women, Ye Chen was more experienced. Their first time together, she was so nervous she nearly cried and even kicked him in a panic.
Ye Chen heyed with a laugh.
"Is it satisfying?"
"Get lost." Chu Xuan stepped forward and kicked him, her gaze fierce, feeling an inexplicable urge to hit him whenever she saw his sleazy grin.
"You can't blame me—this was your promise during the Three Sects Grand Competition." Ye Chen shrugged it off, shaking his head casually.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at that. She recalled the Three Sects Grand Competition from their previous life, when Ye Chen had been a surprise, defeating the Xuanling Body despite being a whole major realm behind.
It was because she hadn't expected much from him that she made that vow back then. Little did she know, both of them had undergone a full reincarnation cycle, and Ye Chen still hadn't forgotten about it.
This marriage was truly fated by the heavens, destined for her to become his wife, to walk hand in hand and grow old together.
"Once we find the host for the spiritual entity, Ling'er can come home too." Ye Chen heyed again, imagining the sensual scene. "Holding one in each arm—that would feel absolutely wonderful."
"It's been over three hundred years." Chu Xuan said, tears welling up, as they had missed so much during that great reincarnation cycle.
"When we get back, we can have a baby." Ye Chen said cheerfully.
"A baby? What baby?" Chu Ling looked bewildered.
"In her previous life, Ling'er was pregnant, and the child in her womb followed her to the underworld." Ye Chen laughed. "We only found out about it later. Isn't that miraculous?"
"Miraculous." Chu Xuan's expression was odd. How could that even happen?
"As Di Huang predecessor said, the child from me and Ling'er should be a Holy Spirit Body."
"What an extraordinary bloodline!" Chu Xuan smiled lightly.
"I've checked the ancient scrolls—it's indeed a special bloodline." Ye Chen heyed. "Just look at who the father is."
"Showing off." Chu Xuan glanced at him, but thinking of that chubby little baby, she couldn't help feeling a bit excited.
"Ye Chen, come to the bamboo grove." As they spoke, a ethereal voice entered their minds—it was Donghuang Tai Xin.
The two held hands and left the lake, exiting the spatial realm.
In the bamboo grove, all the quasi-emperors were there, but at least half of them had bruised and swollen faces, especially Ren Wang, who looked the worst, with fresh blood still dripping from his nostrils.
Ye Chen stared in astonishment, and Chu Xuan'er did the same.
Naturally, neither of them knew the reason. If they did, they might have joined in to give those old fellows a proper thrashing.
"Youth is wonderful." Fu Ya said with a meaningful smile.
Ye Chen didn't mind the comment, but Chu Xuan at his side blushed instantly. After all, she was his shizun, making this a cross-generational romance.
"She has an emperor weapon, so watch your words." Ye Chen scratched his ear, clearly trying to intimidate the old fellows.
It worked. Those unserious quasi-emperors hadn't even started teasing before they quieted down.
They still remembered the second Heavenly Demon invasion, when Chu Xuan, wielding an emperor weapon, single-handedly fought nine Demon Generals. Her combat prowess was incredibly fierce.
And the emperor weapon she carried was a gift from the Wulei City Lord—the Jade Ruyi, an absolutely dominant imperial artifact.
"Let's get serious." Donghuang Tai Xin gently waved her hand, and an altar materialized. It wasn't very large.
Sealed on the altar was a little girl, chubby and sleeping peacefully—who else could it be but Ruo Xi?
Seeing Ruo Xi, both Ye Chen and Chu Xuan'er's gazes were drawn to her, recognizing her at once.
It was they who had brought Ruo Xi back from the mortal world all those years ago. She called Ye Chen "big brother" and Chu Xuan "mother."
Not just Ye Chen, but Chu Xuan'er as well, hadn't seen Ruo Xi in a long time. She looked just as she had back then, forever appearing two or three years old, never growing up.
Even the quasi-emperors present couldn't figure out why.
They only knew that, like Ye Chen, her fate was tied to a cycle of death and reincarnation, and it was connected to the Zhuxian Sword.
"Poor girl." Chu Xuan leaned down, gently stroking Ruo Xi's little face, looking at her as if she were her own child.
The quasi-emperors said nothing, just watched quietly. Perhaps even Chu Xuan herself didn't realize that as a child, she had looked exactly like Ruo Xi—there must be some connection between them.
Ye Chen remained silent, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Chu Xuan and then at Ruo Xi.
His Six Paths Samsara Eye, a heavenly immortal eye, allowed him to see the fundamental essence of all things in the world—this ability was rivaled only by the legendary Chaos Eye.
Precisely because he possessed the Six Paths Samsara Eye, he could see more clearly that the relationship between Chu Xuan and Ruo Xi was far from simple.
"How could this be?" he murmured to himself, his eyes narrowing and his brow furrowing, as if he had uncovered some secret that involved both Chu Xuan and Ruo Xi.
While he was observing Ruo Xi and Chu Xuan, the quasi-emperors were doing the same. But Ren Wang was staring straight at him.
"Boy, is your eye the Six Paths Samsara Eye?" Ren Wang spoke up, his deep eyes fixed on Ye Chen, seeking confirmation.
His question drew the gazes of all the quasi-emperors, their expressions filled with shock.
Even Chu Xuan, who had been looking at Ruo Xi, turned around.
As the Wulei Goddess and with the quasi-emperors being great masters, how could they not know about the Samsara Eye—a heaven-defying ocular power?
"As you said." Ye Chen smiled and no longer hid it. He activated the Samsara Eye, his pupils transforming into a wheel of reincarnation, with an inexplicable force flowing from his eyes, profoundly mysterious and with subtle dao essences manifesting.
"You must have stepped in dog shit!" Ren Wang was the most excited, jumping three feet high and chattering loudly. "Where did you get the Six Paths Samsara Eye? Don't tell me you picked it up again."
Even as a remnant soul of the Human Emperor, he was this stirred up, let alone the other quasi-emperors, whose shock was hard to contain.
If not for Ye Chen revealing it, how would they have known he possessed the Samsara Eye? That ocular power was on par with supreme-level existences.
"A gift from Di Huang predecessor." Ye Chen shrugged, not knowing its origin himself. He figured Di Huang must know, so pinning it on him was the most convenient—plus, it was an ironclad excuse.
"No wonder." The quasi-emperors sighed, not doubting Ye Chen's words. A peerless powerhouse who could take on five emperors—anything was possible. A great accomplishment sacred body on par with emperors might have indeed awakened the Samsara Eye.
"With the Samsara Eye, this is easier to handle." Ren Wang pulled Ye Chen onto the altar. "Take a look at this girl's fate cycle."
"I can't see it." Ye Chen glanced and shook his head.
"Don't mess around—this is the Six Paths Samsara Eye. How could you not see it? Look again." Ren Wang held onto Ye Chen tightly.
"I really can't." Ye Chen spread his hands. "This is just a half-baked Samsara Eye—I haven't even figured it out fully yet."
"You're right." Ren Wang released him and muttered to himself.
"It's here again." Ye Chen looked up, peering through the spatial black hole. The red immortal light he had seen in Beichu was streaking through the black hole once more.
Unlike before, this time he saw clearly what it was—a red bead.
