Sleeve Universe

[That same year, after you broke through to the Half-Saint Realm, most of the holy lands from the neighboring duchies sent people to congratulate you. Among them, the Blazing Sun Holy Land even dispatched its current sect leader.

During your conversation with the Blazing Sun Holy Land's sect leader, he made many overtures to recruit you, but your refusal was resolute, leaving him quite helpless.

You wanted to investigate whether the entire high-level leadership of the Blazing Sun Holy Land was colluding with the Devil Race to refine Human Pills, or if only a small faction was doing so in secret. However, it was clear that such a matter couldn't be asked outright—whether they were involved or not, they wouldn't tell you directly, and it might alert the enemy.

Even though you had broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, you still couldn't match the foundation of a holy land. According to the records in the books you found in the ruins, even the weakest holy land had at least one Saint guarding it. Otherwise, it couldn't withstand the impact of the Demonic Beast Tide. Throughout history, many holy lands had been devoured by the Demonic Beast Tide due to a gap in Saints, leading to the destruction of their nations and sects, while many newly ascended Saints had established new duchies.]

[That same year, you gave the first Bloodline Essence after your breakthrough to the Half-Saint Realm to your three children. Their cultivation levels improved greatly: Ye Ping'an broke through to the early Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Pingjing's realm advanced to the late Void God Realm, and Ye Chen made significant progress in the early Spirit Condensation Realm.]

[In the year 1155, after five years, you fully absorbed the Saint Grade 2 'Dust Settling Saint Pill.']

[That same year, you comprehended the Minor Supernatural Power 'Sleeve Universe,' greatly enhancing your strength. 'Sleeve Universe': After comprehending the Sleeve Universe supernatural power, you can create a Small Space in the palm of your hand. When facing an enemy, you can trap them inside this Small Space for imprisonment. If the gap in strength is vast, you can also kill the enemy within the Small Space.

Currently, you have only a preliminary grasp of the Sleeve Universe Minor Supernatural Power. With your current quality of qi and level of mastery, you can trap beings below the Half-Saint Realm in the space you create, and directly kill martial artists below the Spirit Condensation Realm within it.]

[In the year 1163, your mother Lin Lan broke through to the early Void God Realm...]

[In the year 1166, your grandson Ye Pingyong got married...]

[In the year 1172, your great-grandson Ye Yaozong was born, with a Bone Structure of Earth Grade Low-Rank and comprehension surpassing that of his grandfather Ye Ping'an.]

[In the year 1230, after taking the Void God Treasure Pill you gave him, Ye Mingyue broke through to the early Void God Realm.]

[In the year 1356, because you had become a Half-Saint and could fully use the power of the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard, you predicted that a fortune would appear within Yangzhou Prefecture.

The chessboard had already deduced this event a hundred and fifty years ago. As the time drew nearer, you left Jiancheng to seek your opportunity.

Two months later, you discovered an unusual aura in a valley. After exploring, you pinpointed the exact location through your domain.

You found a small Minor Thousand World, inhabited by the Ox Demon Tribe. You entered the world and gave these ox demons a physical lecture, after which they submitted to you completely, expressing willingness to follow your orders. You detected that this Minor Thousand World was rich in mineral veins.

Soon, you returned to Yangzhou Prefecture's Jiancheng. After telling the current Ye Family Clan Leader, Ye Ping'an, about the matter, you had him arrange for many Ye Family disciples to go to the Minor Thousand World to supervise the ox demons in mining for the Ye Family.

However, the Ye Family did not mistreat them. Although this Minor Thousand World was abundant in minerals, it was extremely scarce in food resources. The Ye Family brought large quantities of food to the Minor Thousand World, and the more work the ox demons did, the more food they could claim. The ox demons were very pleased with this incentive.]

[In the year 1472, your youngest son Ye Chen was exploring a secret realm in Sui State when he accidentally triggered a mechanism in Sui State's Quicksand Land, causing the entire Quicksand Land to collapse. Many people exploring there were teleported into an Inheritance Secret Realm together.

After undergoing trials, Ye Chen obtained a large number of treasures in the secret realm. Finally, he claimed the most precious treasure: a strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. This spiritual qi was the 'Lesser Quicksand Qi,' which could increase the breakthrough chance for the late Infant God Realm by forty percent—a more valuable Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi than 'River Qi.']

[However, over a hundred people were teleported into the Inheritance Secret Realm, and thirteen of them entered the final trial alongside Ye Chen. All thirteen witnessed him obtaining the 'Lesser Quicksand Qi.'

Judging by Ye Chen's attire and appearance, these people didn't recognize him. They guessed he wasn't from Sui State's forces and gathered to discuss robbing him. But Ye Chen's strength was considerable—thanks to your years of teaching, his martial skills were far above those of a Normal Person, and his combat prowess was extremely strong for the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Sensing the hostile looks around him, Ye Chen struck first, killing three of them. Of the remaining ten, six were Void God Realm martial artists, and four were Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators. Among the latter were a married couple at the mid Spirit Condensation Realm, one at the early Spirit Condensation Realm, and one at the late Spirit Condensation Realm.

After a hard-fought battle, Ye Chen used his superior martial skills to kill the six Void God Realm martial artists and wounded the remaining four Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators. However, he himself was even more severely injured. Dragging his battered body, he fled toward Jiancheng.

The four Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators, realizing they couldn't stop Ye Chen with their strength but unwilling to leave empty-handed, sold the information about Ye Chen obtaining the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to Sui State's Flowing Sand Sect, receiving a generous reward.

Ye Chen was unaware of this. Only when he was about to leave Sui State was he blocked by the Flowing Sand Sect's Grand Elder. This Grand Elder seized the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Ye Chen had obtained and was about to kill him. But noticing that Ye Chen bore some resemblance to you, he seemed to recall something and merely expelled him from the territory...]

[That same year, you and your wife Jiang Wen were discussing painting within the family estate. You had a great fondness for painting, and your wife, to please you, had read many books on the subject. Her affection for you extended to an interest in painting, though unfortunately she had no talent for it.

While you were discussing with your wife, a Ye Family disciple sent you a voice transmission, informing you that Ye Chen had suffered a major accident and was on the verge of death from severe injuries.]
