Chapter 196: Chapter 193 Three-day Green Lotus Skill

In the hall, the senior members of the Ye family were all seated, with Ye Tianxiong occupying the main seat. Originally, this spot was intended for Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan clearly wouldn’t take it, even though he was the one who played a major role in rescuing the Ye family this time.

Among those seated, there were some whom Ye Xuan had never met before, as they might have come from the branch families. Now that the Ye family was rising again, those branches that had dispersed and hidden themselves were re-emerging, breathing new life into the originally declining Ye family.

Ye Tianxiong looked at Ye Xuan, who sat peacefully below, with a hint of pride flashing across his face. To have such a grandson, what more could he wish for?

"Xuaner, the Ye family was able to be reborn from the ashes largely thanks to your timely arrival. After some discussion, given my advanced age, I’m afraid this position of Clan Leader..."

"Grandfather, you should know that I’m not interested in the position of Clan Leader."

Ye Xuan shook his head. He was used to his freedom, and even though he had some attachment to the Ye family, it was impossible for him to take on the role of Clan Leader.

"Don’t worry, having you as the Clan Leader would merely be a title. You would still not have to deal with the day-to-day affairs personally," Ye Tianxiong said, seeming to have anticipated Ye Xuan’s refusal, and then he added.

"There seems to be no need for that. The position of Clan Leader should be filled by someone capable. Leaving it vacant doesn’t make much sense. Besides, I’ll probably be leaving the Tiannan Region before long."

Ye Xuan understood Ye Tianxiong’s intentions; he merely wanted to use Ye Xuan’s name to enhance the cohesion of the Ye family. However, to Ye Xuan, this wasn’t necessary. A Clan Leader should be the head of a clan, and it would be absurd if he were not present within the family on a regular basis.

His ambition wouldn’t be tied down to the small Tiannan Region. If it were someone else, they would have probably accepted the role with great excitement by now.

"Leaving the Tiannan Region?"

Ye Tianxiong and the others were momentarily stunned, then they fell into contemplation. There was not much shock, as the prodigies of the Tiannan Region had left before. With Ye Xuan’s talents and potential, this small place would indeed be hardly capable of containing him in the future.

Regrettably, they had misunderstood; Ye Xuan had already conceived the idea of leaving. It was inevitable that he wouldn’t stay in the Tiannan Region for long.

"Yes, I’ll be leaving the Tiannan Region for the Chaotic Sea Domain. It won’t be long before I depart," Ye Xuan nodded in confirmation. Previously, he had promised Nangong Yao that once his cultivation reached the Martial Sect level, he would visit the Chaotic Sea Domain. There were also words left by Ye Mei, who said that when he reached the Martial Sect Master Realm, he could go to the Chaotic Sea Domain to investigate news about the Fifth Grade power, Sky Demon Mountain.

"Alright, since you have no such intentions, let’s leave the matter at that. Rest assured, your grandfather will support any of your decisions and will never let the family hold you back," Ye Tianxiong didn’t say much more, knowing that the eagle was meant to soar high, and naturally hoping that Ye Xuan would fly as high as possible.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Ye Xuan was quite moved. It was good that Ye Tianxiong could understand him. After a moment’s contemplation, he spoke, "Now that the matters of the Great Xia Kingdom have been resolved, I cannot stay here much longer. In a couple of days, I will have to return to the Heavenly Martial Hall."

"Go ahead, you don’t need to worry about the Ye family’s affairs anymore," Ye Tianxiong nodded. Ye Xuan was still a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Hall, and now that he had escaped his plight, he naturally had to return to the hall.

"When do you plan to set off?" asked Ye Tianxiong.

Ye Xuan intended to leave immediately, but after some thought, he changed his mind, "I’ll rest for a day, and set off tomorrow."

The next day, Ye Xuan bid farewell to Ye Tianxiong and the others, then immediately set out to return to the Heavenly Martial Hall.

Before leaving, Ye Xuan met with Ye Tianxiong privately and took out a scroll from the Qiankun Ring, handing it to Ye Tianxiong.

"What is this?"

Ye Tianxiong took the somewhat new scroll, asking with confusion.

"Grandfather, I remember our Ye family’s highest-grade cultivation technique is called the Green Water Skill, a Low-level Heavenly Grade skill, right?" Ye Xuan suddenly asked.

"Indeed, the Green Water Skill is a complete set of cultivation techniques passed down through generations in our Ye family, and it is indeed a Low-level Heavenly Grade. It’s also the only Heavenly Grade technique our Ye family possesses," Ye Tianxiong nodded in agreement, but he was still puzzled as to why Ye Xuan suddenly brought this up.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Cultivation techniques are of utmost importance to martial artists. Although it’s a Heavenly Grade technique, a Low-level Heavenly Grade technique is the poorest kind among them. Even though it’s easier to cultivate, the True Qi produced is of very low purity, which can be a disadvantage in battle."

Hearing this, Ye Tianxiong chuckled and shook his head, "How precious is a Heavenly Grade technique? Even if it’s just a Low-level one, in the Great Xia Kingdom, not many noble families possess one. Our Ye family, with its long heritage as a major clan, is quite remarkable to own such a scroll."

Heavenly Grade techniques were exceedingly rare in the Great Xia Kingdom. It should be noted that not even the Jun family and the Xie family had complete Heavenly Grade techniques. The best they had were incomplete versions; the highest among those in their possession were Earth-gradeEarth-gradeEarth high-rank at most.

"This scroll contains a top Heavenly Grade cultivation technique,"

Just as Ye Tianxiong’s voice fell, Ye Xuan suddenly spoke out indifferently.

"What? Heavenly Grade... top level?"

No sooner had Ye Tianxiong exclaimed than he promptly clammed up, quickly scanning the surroundings. Only after confirming that no one had noticed did he relax.

However, the shock in his eyes couldn’t be suppressed, "Top Heavenly Grade cultivation techniques, as far as I know, are only possessed by the Heavenly Martial Hall and Wildfire Sect among all the major sects. The Great Yan Divine Skill of the Heavenly Martial Hall and the Eight Desolate Fire Refining Skill of the Wildfire Sect, both are famously divine skills, strong enough to reach the pinnacle of the Seventh Grade Martial Sect."

Ye Xuan’s words were truly alarming. Putting aside whether he dared to believe them, if they were true and the news spread, it would surely bring about fatal disasters for him.

A top Heavenly Grade cultivation technique, doesn’t that mean in terms of the collection of techniques, it’s already comparable to the Heavenly Martial Hall and the Wildfire Sect?

Such high-level techniques were unimaginable to Ye Tianxiong, but to Ye Xuan, the Martial God, they were nothing special. Not to mention top Heavenly Grade techniques, even Supreme Grade techniques; he had several in his mind, but at the moment, revealing them would be of no use and might even bring disaster to the Ye family if the news leaked.

A man without guilt, possessing a jade invites crime. Supreme Grade techniques have already disappeared from the Tiannan Region. Once they appear, both the righteous and evil paths will vie for them relentlessly.

"The cultivation technique recorded on this scroll is called the Three-day Green Lotus Skill, which cultivates True Qi known as Green Lotus True Qi. If one can cultivate it to the seventh level, one can reach the stature of a Seventh Grade Martial Sect,"

Ye Xuan said calmly.

For the average martial artist, advancing their cultivation requires the technique to progress with each realm. However, for Ye Xuan, who cultivates a Divine Grade technique that is an upgrading technique, with every breakthrough in realm, the technique automatically advances one grade. Hence, his way of cultivation is different from ordinary people.

Even if one cultivates a low-level Heavenly Grade technique to perfection, at most one can only progress to the stature of a Second Grade Martial Sect. To reach further, up to a top Heavenly Grade technique, one can hope to reach the Seventh Grade Martial Sect, but of course, whether one can cultivate to that level still depends on talent.

"It really is a top Heavenly Grade cultivation technique,"

Ye Tianxiong opened the scroll and looked. True or false, he only needed a glance to tell; the Three-day Green Lotus Skill was mysterious beyond compare, far superior to the Green Water Skill hidden by the Ye family.

"Xuaner, where did you get this technique?"

Ye Tianxiong looked at Ye Xuan, somewhat shaken. A top Heavenly Grade cultivation technique is seen as a hidden treasure even within the Heavenly Martial Hall. How could Ye Xuan possess it?

"I obtained it by chance during my last visit to Wanxiang Mountain,"

Ye Xuan casually fabricated an excuse.

"Is that so? Then it must be a stroke of divine fortune for our Ye family, is this the legendary genius’ destiny?"

Ye Tianxiong naturally didn’t know the truth and thought Ye Xuan was speaking honestly, his expression was extremely excited.

"Accompanying the technique, there’s a set of Green Lotus Sword Skill at the back, which is a Heavenly Grade martial arts complementing the Three-day Green Lotus Skill. When cultivated together, they enhance each other, and if perfected, their power is immense,"

Ye Xuan spoke composedly, "Whether it’s the cultivation technique or martial arts, Grandfather, you must safeguard them properly. Only those in the clan who are truly trustworthy can be taught. Otherwise, if word gets out, the resulting trouble will be no small matter."

"Rest assured, I’ve been the Family Head for so many years; I understand these things,"

Knowing the significance of this Three-day Green Lotus Skill, Ye Tianxiong’s expression became serious. The rise of the Ye family was still brief, merely a superficial rise. In other words, this rise was nothing but a nouveau riche, as aside from Ye Xuan, there was no one else who could be the pillar of the family. However, with this technique and martial arts provided by Ye Xuan, the Ye family had the fundamental conditions to flourish and thrive.

With the cultivation technique and martial arts in hand, the family’s prosperity was just a matter of time.

"Then I won’t say more. In case of major events, you can send word to the Heavenly Martial Hall. Grandfather, take care,"

Having said all that needed to be said, Ye Xuan had no desire to stay any longer. After bowing his hands, he turned and left, embarking on the journey back to the Heavenly Martial Hall.

Watching Ye Xuan’s departing figure, Ye Tianxiong couldn’t help but be filled with emotions. However, amid his emotions, there was a flash of hidden anxiety, "Xiaohao, having such a son, your spirit in heaven can rest in peace now. Venturing out of the Tiannan Region to the Chaotic Sea Domain, he must be seeking to avenge you against that Demon Clan from beyond the domain. Alas, the Ye family’s power is insufficient to assist him now; I hope he doesn’t act recklessly..."

That realm beyond, with the Demon Clan rampant and wicked, if Ye Xuan were to go there alone, his safety would become unpredictable.
