I am a heavenly prodigy?

The third-generation ancestor of the Ye Family pondered after hearing this.

Martial Dao cultivation requires establishing one's own Dao Heart?

What is a Dao Heart?

As they listened to Ye Wuchen's explanation, they pondered. Although they didn't fully grasp it, they felt it was a good direction, at least offering another option.

For now, they still prioritized the grade of cultivation methods and combat skills. This was because higher-grade methods brought about much faster cultivation speeds, which was their most fundamental source of gaining powerful strength at the moment!

Ye Wuchen merely explained. Whether the third-generation ancestor could gain enlightenment was up to them.

Unbeknownst to Ye Wuchen, although he had established a Dao Heart, it was merely one of the most basic conditions for proving the Dao and becoming Emperor.

Having a Dao Heart did not automatically mean a cultivation method derived from the Great Dao for proving the Dao and becoming Emperor would appear.

Ye Wuchen chatted with the third-generation ancestor for a long time.

Ye Zhantian then asked with a faint smile, "Among the younger generation of the Ye Family, are there any Martial Dao Heavenly Prodigies now?"

Ye Zhantian inquired of the current clan leader, Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun chuckled, "There really is. Wuchen's son, Ye Hao, is currently at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation. Today, at the academy, he defeated the City Lord's son, Xia Zhangjian, with a single move. Xia Zhangjian is at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation and cultivates not low-grade cultivation methods and combat skills. Two days prior, Ye Hao also killed a steward from the Li Family, who was at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation, killing him with one move."

Ye Zhantian gently shook his head, "That doesn't count as a Heavenly Prodigy. The Heavenly Prodigies I'm referring to are like Wuchen back then."

Ye Qingyun showed an embarrassed smile, "There isn't anyone like Wuchen among the Ye Family's younger generation right now."

Ye Zhantian nodded slightly, "It's fine if there aren't. The Ye Family's current strength is already very good. By the way, immediately recall our clan members who are currently outside. Do not venture out easily in the future. In a month, hostile forces may make a move."

Ye Qingyun's expression turned solemn, and he then left.

Ye Zhantian's gaze turned deep and cold as he looked into the distance, "Anyone who dares to touch my Ye Family members will die!"

As the ancestor on the first page of the clan registry, Ye Zhantian had his blood flowing through all members of the Ye Family; they were all his descendants. If enemies appeared, he would fight them to the death!

The second and third-generation ancestors also had much colder eyes. Behind them were their descendants. If a battle were to occur, they, the old ones, would be the first to charge forward to preserve the Ye Family's lineage.

All the members of the Ye Family were recalled and received orders from the clan leader not to go out without permission!

Many people in the Ye Family felt bewildered. What had happened?

Was the Ye Family going to war with the Li Family?

Ye Hao was also paying attention to all of this. He couldn't help but ponder, could it be that those top powers in the Eastern Region were about to make their move?

If they were to make a move now.

Could the Ye Family withstand them? Relying solely on his father?

Ye Hao fell silent. He was currently only at the Second Level of Qi Control. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't do much.

When top powers made a move, they would at least be in the Spirit Sea Realm, or even the Spirit Gathering Realm. Currently, only his father, Ye Wuchen, was in the Spirit Gathering Realm...

"Father was once at the Ninth Level of Spirit Gathering. His recovery to peak cultivation should be within these few days. If he can advance further, the Ye Family's crisis will naturally be resolved. I hope Father can break through to the Sixth Realm sooner."

Ye Hao shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about these things. Instead, he pondered his own Dao, his mind clear and accessible.

Currently, apart from a few matters he hadn't let go of, he was quite clear-minded in other aspects.

As for those few matters, he could only resolve them by traveling to another realm in the future.

"Right now, I just want to cultivate and break through to higher realms. Therefore, I will start cultivating now and do what I want to do. Does that count as clear-mindedness?"

Ye Hao didn't think further and began to cultivate.

Although he cultivated the Dao of clear-mindedness, and achieving it allowed him to break through realms, he could also cultivate step by step like ordinary people.

Ye Hao absorbed spiritual energy at an extremely fast rate, consuming a pile of Spirit Stones in a short time.

As time passed, Ye Hao became immersed in his cultivation, and his cultivation level also broke through consecutively.

Third Level of Qi Control, Fourth Level of Qi Control, Fifth Level of Qi Control!

His self-forgetting cultivation made Ye Hao lose track of time, not even knowing how much time had passed. It wasn't until Ye Hao opened his eyes and withdrew from his cultivation that he gathered his voice into a line and said faintly to the outside, "Shige, how long have I been cultivating?"

"Young Master, you have been cultivating for half a month."

Lin Shige's voice came from outside.

"Half a month has passed..."

In half a month, he had broken through to the Fifth Level of Qi Control. His cultivation speed was already considered very fast.

"Continue cultivating. Break through one realm if you can."

Ye Hao continued his cultivation.

As time flowed, another ten days passed, and Ye Hao's realm broke through again.

He was now at the Sixth Level of Qi Control.

His Dantian Qi Sea, which was originally the size of a river, was now like ten rivers combined.

All of Ye Hao's acupoints had long been opened. He could release spiritual energy from any part of his body!

Others released spiritual energy either with their hands or feet, but Ye Hao could use any part of his body.

His eyes could unleash a wind blade, a ball of flame, and his mouth could also release spiritual energy, even his abdomen downwards could release spiritual energy.

"Only three days left until the sixteen-year mark..."

Ye Hao stood up at this moment and walked out of the room. He saw Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu cultivating outside the courtyard.

He had improved the sisters' spiritual roots to a sixth-grade Water Spiritual Root aptitude, though neither of them knew their specific aptitude.

Coupled with the comprehension effect added by Ye Hao's Daoist Tome, the sisters' realms broke through very quickly.

They were already at the Sixth Level of Body Refining!

As they officially began cultivating, Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu gained a deeper understanding of Martial Dao cultivation.

Breaking through from the Second Level of Body Refining to the Sixth Level of Body Refining in one month was definitely the genius among geniuses!

Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu even doubted their own lives – were they Martial Dao geniuses?

And their cultivation speed was even faster than Xia Zhangjian of East Moon Academy!

Xia Zhangjian hadn't broken through four minor realms of Body Refining in a month, had he?

So, were they Heavenly Prodigies?

"Young Master." Upon seeing Ye Hao, the Lin Shige sisters bowed slightly.

"What realm have you broken through to?" Ye Hao asked indifferently.

"Sixth Level of Body Refining," the sisters replied.

Ye Hao chuckled, "Breaking through four minor realms in a month, you truly are geniuses. Many people have cultivated for several years and still find it difficult to break through to the Sixth Level of Body Refining, while you only took one month."

Hearing Ye Hao say this, the Lin Shige sisters became even more certain that they were geniuses.

They were even more outstanding Martial Dao Heavenly Prodigies than the City Lord's son, and even better than Ye Hao.

"Kneel." Ye Hao sat down on a chair at this moment, looking at the sisters indifferently.

He wanted to see if the Lin Shige sisters would still serve him as before after believing themselves to be Martial Dao Heavenly Prodigies.

The Lin Shige sisters were slightly stunned upon hearing this.

"Young Master, the courtyard gate isn't locked..."

"It's fine, the courtyard gate is still a bit far from here, and outsiders can't see inside," Ye Hao said indifferently.
