The Ye Family's True Strength

The Ye Family at this moment.

A quarter of the clan members are cultivating, while the remaining three-quarters are either busy outside or occupied with various matters within the family.

The younger ones are playing.

The very old ones are diligently cultivating, hoping to advance further, increase their personal strength, and also extend their lifespans.

"Hmm? So that's how it is? So that's how it is!" In a secret chamber deep within the rearmost row of the Ye Family mansion, an old man suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, then smiled, closed his eyes, and cultivated diligently.

"Hahaha, I've finally found the key to breaking through!"

"I've been stuck at the peak of the Qi Realm for a full five years, and I've finally found the opportunity to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm that suits my attributes."

"So that's how it is, the Spirit Gathering Realm is like this. I've been comprehending for a full ten years, and I'm finally about to break through to the Fifth Great Realm, the Spirit Gathering Realm. It can be considered that I haven't let Wuchen down for the cultivation method he gave me..."

The old man's expression became much more relaxed.

Sixteen years ago, clan member Ye Wuchen obtained many high-grade cultivation methods from Ye Wuchen's wife from outside the Eastern Region. He then cultivated them. Although his realm made great progress, he was always stuck at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm and could not break through to the Spirit Gathering Realm.

Even though he asked Ye Wuchen, Ye Wuchen said that everyone's cultivation method was different, their Martial Dao attributes were different, and their breakthrough methods were also different, so he couldn't give accurate advice. He could only rely on his own comprehension.

The old man closed his eyes at this moment, took out the Spirit Stones he had prepared long ago, and began to cultivate diligently.

If Ye Hao were to see this scene, he would definitely be very surprised.

Isn't the Ye Family a third-rate family?

How can there be an ancestor at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm? And one who is about to break through to the Fifth Great Realm, the Spirit Gathering Realm...

The Martial Dao realms, from Body Refining, Qi Condensation, Qi Realm, Spirit Sea, to Spirit Gathering, each realm is vastly different.

A Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could already walk sideways in East Moon City!

Regardless of where in the Eastern Region, a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator is considered a true powerhouse!

If one breaks through to the Spirit Gathering Realm, even in the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, or the Ask Sword Sect, or among the ancient aristocratic families, it would absolutely be a realm that is truly looked up to!

However, Ye Hao did not know all of this. If he had known, he would have been depressed.

If he had known the Ye Family was so strong, why would he have endured humiliation back then?

Ye Hao was currently in his room, storing the Daoist Tome into his divine soul. However, the hundredth page of the Daoist Tome remained open in his divine soul, increasing the comprehension of the Ye Family members.

On this day.

Many people in the Ye Family broke through one after another. Some elders and ancestors who had been in seclusion for many years came out of seclusion to feel the fresh air outside.

Their realms had broken through, their moods had become smoother, and everyone who broke through their realms was in a very good mood at the moment.

The ancestors of the Ye Family gathered together. Upon learning that they had all broken through their realms, they all showed surprise and then began to chat.

After chatting for a long time.

An old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing this, everyone showed joy. "Father."

"Father, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Father." The ancestors looked at the old man and affectionately called out.

This old man with a ruddy complexion was named Ye Zhantian, the true ancestor of the Ye Family.

On the first page of the family tree, the founder of the Ye Clan was the white-haired, ruddy-complexioned old man before them, Ye Zhantian.

Ye Zhantian had only one wife, who gave birth to nine sons and five daughters.

To expand the Ye Family's branches and leaves.

The nine sons and five daughters had long since become the second-generation ancestors of the Ye Family, and even their children had become third-generation ancestors of the Ye Family...

Generation after generation, the torch was passed on.

Ye Zhantian looked at his children and couldn't help but show a kind smile. "I've broken through to the Spirit Gathering Realm."

Upon hearing this, all his children showed joy. "Father, with you breaking through to the Spirit Gathering Realm, our Ye Family has more confidence in this Eastern Region."

"Congratulations, Father."

An old man congratulated him with joy. Hearing the words "Father" from the mouth of an old man felt a bit comical, but he didn't feel anything. He would always be his father's son.

Ye Zhantian chuckled, sharing his breakthrough with his children and being happy together.

"This is all thanks to Wuchen. Our Ye Family can achieve this today, and Wuchen has made an indelible contribution," Ye Zhantian sighed. "It's a pity that Wuchen's Dantian Qi Sea has been crippled. If I can leave the Eastern Region in the future, I will definitely find a way to restore his Qi Sea."

The second and third-generation ancestors listened with firm expressions. "If we can leave the Eastern Region, the first thing we will do is find a way to restore his Qi Sea. This child Wuchen was originally the true Heavenly Prodigy of the Ye Family. Although his Martial Dao aptitude is not high, his comprehension is extremely high. If Wuchen can cultivate again, he will surely become a great figure in the future and shake the eight directions!"

Ye Zhantian nodded. "Have all the clan members from the eighth generation and above of the Ye Clan come here. It's time to let them know some things."

A moment later.

The Ye Clan's bell rang.

The bell reverberated throughout the entire Ye Clan.

Dong... Dong... Dong...

Each chime was filled with solemnity and reverence. Upon hearing this sound, the faces of the Ye Clan members changed slightly.

The Ye Family rarely heard such a bell; once it rang, a major event was bound to happen.

One bell chime, followed by a five-breath pause, signified that the Ye Family's Old Ancestor, Ye Zhantian, personally wished to gather the Ye family members.

After a five-breath pause, two bell chimes rang again, followed by another five-breath pause, signifying that the Ye Family's second-generation ancestors were to assemble.

Then came three bell chimes, for the third-generation ancestors to gather.

After each ringing, there was a five-breath pause, until a sequence of eight chimes rang out, signifying that all Ye Family members from the eighth generation down to the first-generation ancestor were to gather.

However, this was of no concern to the young generation of the Ye Family.

They belonged to the generations after the eighth.

The eighth-generation members of the Ye Family turned pale at the sound of the bell and then quickly headed towards the deep rear of the Ye Family.

Upon arriving, they saw a group of ancestors suspended in mid-air, as steady as Mount Tai!

"Holy crap! Levitation? Such steady levitation, is this the Spirit Sea Realm?" a middle-aged man from the Ye Family exclaimed in shock.

"Old Ancestors, you... you're all in the Spirit Sea Realm???"

The Ye Family members from the third generation and below were utterly shocked, their hearts trembling, finding it utterly unbelievable.

How were the first three generations of Ye Family ancestors all in the Spirit Sea Realm? Weren't they in the Qi Realm?

Ye Zhantian saw that most of the eighth-generation members had gathered, but one person was still missing – the person he most wanted to see.

"Why isn't Wuchen here?" Ye Zhantian asked, puzzled.

"He's here."

At that moment, a voice rang out. Everyone followed the sound and stared, dumbfounded. Even Ye Zhantian was stunned.

Ye Wuchen appeared, handsome and dashing, clad in white, truly the most handsome man in the world. He trod on air, calm and composed.

Seeing this scene, the Ye Family members revealed looks of astonishment.

"Holy crap!!! Wuchen, you can cultivate now? And you can fly??? Are you in the Spirit Sea Realm???"
