Chapter 390: Chapter 389 Cultivation

...

After leaving Wan’an City, Ye Hongli did not immediately rush back to the Main Family but instead began to gather information in the Southern Domain about the sect Ye Xuan had destroyed.

Having arrived in haste, Ye Hongli did not have much information about Ye Xuan.

But just now, Ye Hongli had come to understand Ye Xuan’s power.

He wanted to check the level of the great sect that Ye Xuan had annihilated.

Even though the great sects of the Southern Domain were considered insignificant in the entirety of the East Desolate, they could still provide a benchmark to assess Ye Xuan’s capabilities and his reasons for wanting to return.

The news of Ye Xuan annihilating the Heavenly Demon Sect was no longer a secret throughout the Southern Domain.

All the major powers in the Southern Domain were aware of Ye Xuan wiping out the Heavenly Demon Sect.

With a bit of inquiry, Ye Hongli soon learned the details about the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Heavenly Demon Sect, Sect Hierarch Wu Nantian, Heavenly Human Peak..."

Ye Hongli muttered to himself the intelligence he had gathered, a look of surprise flashing through his eyes.

Thirteen Heavenly Humans, including one additional Heavenly Human.

This level of strength would do well even in the East Desolate.

The thirteen elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, along with Sect Hierarch Wu Nantian and many members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, all perished at the hands of Ye Xuan.

This was a terrifyingly powerful feat...

Moreover, it was said that Ye Xuan wiped out the Heavenly Demon Sect in just a moment.

Over a million sect members died at the hands of Ye Xuan.

Not to mention this power.

Just this disposition alone...

He was like a blatant butcher, seemingly devoid of any humanity!

Most crucially, he was very aware that "Xuan" was only going to turn seventeen in the latter half of this year.

At such an age, possessing such a disposition, if he became stronger in the future, he would definitely be a formidable force!

"If we bring ’Xuan’ into the Main Family, within three years, he could make those people in the Main Family look pale by comparison."

Ye Hongli thought secretly to himself.

After deliberating for a while, Ye Hongli started to hesitate.

How should he report this matter to Ye Lingfeng?

Ye Lingfeng’s position within the Main Family was exceedingly high; if he directly reported to him, it might jeopardize ’Xuan’s’ safety.

But if he bypassed Ye Lingfeng and reported to a higher authority, Ye Lingfeng would definitely take it out on him.

After hesitating for a short moment, Ye Hongli made up his mind.

To bypass Ye Lingfeng and directly report to the Ye Family!

He was very clear that if the people of the Main Family truly valued ’Xuan’, they would definitely send someone to protect him, ensuring his safety and bringing him back to the Main Family.

But if he notified Ye Lingfeng, it could very well bring a deadly disaster upon ’Xuan’.

He knew Ye Lingfeng’s temperament very well.

If Ye Lingfeng knew that ’Xuan’s’ potential might even surpass his, he would definitely make a move against ’Xuan’!

Having made up his mind, Ye Hongli headed straight for the Ye Family Main House, without any further delay.

...

Meanwhile,

At the Ye Family in Wan’an City,

Everyone was gathered together, their expressions somewhat panicked.

Because Ye Xuan had disappeared.

If not for Ye Hongli presiding over, the crowd might have already exploded into chaos.

Ye Hongli gazed at the sky, his heart filled with anxiety.

"Big brother, with your strength, how could ’Xuan’ possibly be your opponent..."

"I know we can’t defy the orders from the Main Family, but ’Xuan’ is still young, talking things over properly is surely possible."

Ye Hongli sighed heavily in his heart.

Boom!

At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly descended from the sky, appearing instantly before everyone’s eyes.

"What are you all doing?" Ye Xuan asked, with his hands in his pockets, looking at the people gathered in the courtyard.

"’Xuan’!"

Seeing Ye Xuan reappear, Ye Hongli was instantly relieved and hurriedly said, "Did your great-uncle not hurt you?"

Everyone also looked at Ye Xuan nervously.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Great-uncle has gone back; he even said to wait for his good news."

"Ah?" Ye Hongli was astonished.

Wait for good news?

What good news?

Wasn’t he supposed to take ’Xuan’ back to the Main Family?

Ye Hongli was a bit puzzled.

"Didn’t your great-uncle take you back to the Main Family?" Ye Hongli asked.

"Have you forgotten what great-uncle told me?" Ye Xuan countered.

At these words, Ye Hongli’s mind somewhat short-circuited.

Could it be that...

Ye Hongli couldn’t bear to imagine, and looking at Ye Xuan in shock, he gasped, "Great-uncle didn’t beat you?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and nodded lightly, "It was a narrow victory."

That was naturally an offhand lie.

Nonetheless, Ye Hongli was still profoundly shocked.

Others might not know, but he was very aware that, with his elder brother’s strength, he was an unbeatably powerful existence in the entire Southern Domain. How could he possibly not stand a chance against Ye Xuan?

But the current situation seemed to really suggest that Ye Xuan had defeated Ye Hongyi?!

This was absolutely unbelievable to Ye Hongli.

It was too bewildering.

"Everyone, go back to your cultivation," Ye Xuan waved his hand and said.

It was then that everyone finally dispersed.

They too were stunned to the extreme.

Ye Hongyi, they knew about him too.

But they never expected that Ye Xuan could actually defeat Ye Hongyi.

Although they did not know the specifics of Ye Hongyi’s strength, they had heard quite a bit about him from Ye Hongli.

They also had a concept in their minds.

The status of the Mountain Master Ren Tianyu at Heavenly Sword Mountain in Yun Country

was comparable to Ye Hongyi’s status upon arriving in the Southern Domain, showcasing fearsome strength.

Such strength, and yet to be defeated by Ye Xuan.

They truly couldn’t imagine it.

Just now they weren’t clear about what had happened, but seeing the gestures between Ye Xuan and Ye Hongli, they all guessed that it was definitely true.

"It’s becoming harder and harder to see through Brother Xuan," Ye Hao and Ye Yuxuan both said with a wry smile and a shake of their heads.

"Brother is becoming more and more formidable!" Ye Ling’er said, brimming with excitement.

Seeing Ye Xuan becoming more and more outstanding, she, as his sister, was also very delighted.

"If only I could be as powerful as Brother Xuan someday," Liao Xiaoyu said, full of longing.

"Keep working hard. There’s no need to catch up to Brother Xuan, but we also can’t be left too far behind," Ye Hao said, cheering her on.

After everyone had left, Mo Xiaofei came to pay his respects.

"Mr. Ye, are you all right?" Mo Xiaofei said, sighing with relief upon seeing Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and replied, "I’m fine, you may leave."

Mo Xiaofei bowed and left.

As he watched Mo Xiaofei leave, Ye Hongli sighed slightly, looked at Ye Xuan, and said with a mix of relief and emotion, "Xuan, you have really grown up."

For some reason, Ye Hongli had noticed that his grandson had undergone earth-shaking changes after leaving the Ye Family for over a year.

This transformation was clearly felt by Ye Hongli.

It was certainly not as simple as a recovery of the senses.

Ye Hongli, originally from a collateral branch of the Ye Family Main House, was deeply influenced and knew quite a lot.

Among these, there was a notion known as Awakening.

This meant that a cultivator, at a certain moment, suddenly awakened, and after this awakening, their whole person would undergo drastic changes, possessing unimaginable power!

Ye Xuan’s various performances made Ye Hongli think of this notion.

"No matter how much I grow up, I come from this place,"

Ye Xuan, sensing the emotional shift in Ye Hongli, smiled faintly and said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongli suddenly laughed and said nothing more.

Indeed, no matter how much Ye Xuan changed, he was ultimately family.

That was enough!

In the following time, Wan’an City returned to its former tranquility.

With Ye Xuan personally presiding over the Ye Family, no one dared to provoke them.

Even the ruler of Yun Country personally came for a visit.

Unfortunately, he was met with a closed door.

Ye Xuan had Mo Xiaofei turn away all visitors, alone in the courtyard, sitting cross-legged in the void, the Power of Heaven and Earth swirling around him, lingering without dispersing.

Ye Xuan harnessed the Power of Heaven and Earth, enveloping all four sides, filling the small courtyard, and focused on his cultivation.

After returning to the Ye Family, his cultivation was increasing daily and had already reached the peak of Earth Element.

Now, he was at the crucial moment to step into the Cave Heaven Realm.

To step into the Cave Heaven Realm, one must condense at least one Grotto Heaven.

If one couldn’t condense a Grotto Heaven, then it would be impossible to enter the Cave Heaven Realm.

The number of Grotto Heavens additionally affects the speed of cultivation in future realms.

Zhou Youwei, when she stepped into the Cave Heaven Realm, instantly condensed three Grotto Heavens, shocking everyone, and later in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, with Ye Xuan’s help, directly achieved the Perfect Realm of Nine Grotto Heavens.

Nine Grotto Heavens meant reaching the Perfect Realm of Cave Heaven.

Throughout history, almost every invincible being was at the Perfect Realm of Nine Grotto Heavens.

Ye Xuan continued to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth.

In three days’ time, Ye Xuan harnessed the Power of Heaven and Earth across a hundred thousand miles.

And this harnessing was extremely subtle, almost imperceptible.

Upon focusing, it would be found that Ye Xuan’s side was already filled with the Power of Heaven and Earth.

"Huh..."

"It’s time to get started."
