Background and History
Decline in the Jia Ma Empire
The Ye Clan had declined significantly by the time Ye Changge emerged within its Jia Ma Empire branch. Its highest known cultivation method was only Profound-tier High-grade, its elders were largely Dou Ling-level, and its ancestor had remained stalled at Peak Nine-star Dou Huang. The clan had not produced a Dou Zong for roughly three centuries. 52 58 60
The clan’s fortunes changed when Ye Changge, then regarded as a utility disciple responsible for tending the ancestral tombs, broke through to Dou Wang. The elders traced the golden-winged phenomenon to the ancestral grounds, and the entire clan mobilized to identify and recruit the unknown prodigy. 51 52
The clan head offered Ye Changge the position of Young Master. He initially refused, citing ambitions beyond the Jia Ma Empire, but clan members subsequently addressed him as Young Master and regarded him as the clan’s central hope. 53 57
The Ye Emperor Scripture
At the rear-mountain stone tablet, Ye Changge staged a heaven-shaking phenomenon that convinced the clan he had comprehended its millennium-old inheritance. The elders believed that no Ye Clan genius of the previous thousand years had been able to decipher the stele. 57 58
Ye Changge privately considered the stone tablet ordinary, but used it as the purported source for the Ye Emperor Scripture, an Emperor-tier technique and accompanying combat arts. He also presented high-grade medicinal pills, including Shattering Sect Pills, to the ancestor, patriarch, and core elders. 56 59 60
The scripture was attributed to the clan’s founding ancestor, Ye Emperor, and its revelation established within the clan the belief that they were descendants of an ancient Dou Emperor lineage. 60 210
Rise to Jia Ma Empire Supremacy
The medicinal pills and Ye Emperor Scripture immediately strengthened the clan. Its ancestor broke through to Dou Zong, while the clan’s growing power forced major Jia Ma Empire factions—including the Imperial Family—to pledge obedience to the Ye Clan’s command. 61 62 64
Ye Changge also arranged for Ye Emperor Hall to protect the clan through a Spatial Wormhole. His subordinates were ordered to reinforce the Ye Clan immediately should it face danger. 131
Over the following decades, Ye Royal City became the clan’s private ancestral land. Non-clan residents were relocated, and the Jia Ma Imperial Family granted Ye Zhan a hereditary princely title after the clan’s service in war. By this period, the clan publicly possessed more than a dozen Dou Zongs, surpassing the Imperial Family in strength. 218
Return of Ye Emperor
Within the Heavenly Tomb, Ye Changge activated the Ye Clan’s clan mark with the Ye Emperor Scripture and successfully summoned Ye Emperor’s soul body. Ye Emperor confirmed that he had watched Ye Changge’s conduct and approved of him as a descendant. 210
Ye Changge, Yao Chen, and their allies then restored Ye Emperor using a white-jade puppet, a Bone-Generating Blood-Melding Pill, and Ninth-Tier Dragon-Phoenix essence blood. Ye Emperor resurrected at late-stage Nine-star Dou Sheng and began planning the Ye Clan’s full restoration. 212 213
Ye Emperor transferred cultivation to Ye Changge to reawaken the clan’s Imperial Blood, then sought control of the Heavenly Tomb as a cultivation resource for the clan. 214
Heavenly Tomb Cultivation and War
Ye Emperor transported Ye Royal City and its inhabitants into the Heavenly Tomb, where the energy concentration greatly exceeded that of the outside world. He ordered the clan to produce at least thirty Dou Zuns in six years, supplied cultivation methods, Dou Skills, and energy cores, and prohibited anyone from leaving the city. 219 220
The clan produced forty-five Dou Zuns and more than two hundred Dou Zongs during this period. Ye Emperor also revived the Eight Saints of the Ye Family to reinforce the clan’s leadership and defense. 220
When the Hall of Souls used the Lion Underworld Nation to invade the Jia Ma Empire, the Ye Clan mobilized its Dou Zuns to defend the empire. It annihilated the Hall of Souls’ deployed Celestial Venerables and Venerable Elders, then assisted the Jia Ma Empire’s forces for a further seven days. 221 223 227
Relocation to the Ye Emperor Realm
After settling Jia Ma affairs, Ye Emperor reopened and anchored the Ye Emperor Realm, the clan’s ancestral homeland, in the Tianquan Mountain Range of the Central Continent’s Southern Region. 228
Ye Royal City and roughly one hundred thousand descendants were relocated into the realm over the course of a month. The former city was sealed away, intended for the day the clan could openly return to the Central Continent. 229
Organization
| Position | Holder(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Founding Ancestor | Ye Emperor | A resurrected late-stage Nine-star Dou Sheng who directs the clan’s revival and long-term strategy. 213 219 |
| Patriarch | Ye Zhan | Oversees the Jia Ma branch, Ye Royal City, military mobilization, and later the clan’s relocation. 218 221 |
| Young Master | Ye Changge | The clan’s greatest modern prodigy, restorer of the Ye Emperor Scripture, and principal force behind its resurgence. 57 60 |
| Grand Elders | Three unnamed elders | Practitioners of the Three-Beast Barbarian Art; together, their joint formation can rival a Dou Zun. 218 |
| Eight Saints of the Ye Family | Revived senior experts | Restored within the Heavenly Tomb to protect and lead the reborn clan. 220 |
Territories and Population
- Ye Royal City — The clan’s former private ancestral land in the Jia Ma Empire. Non-Ye residents were systematically relocated before the city was moved into the Heavenly Tomb. 218 219
- Ye Emperor Realm — The clan’s ancestral realm, anchored in the Central Continent. Its Ye Emperor Mountain Range alone is larger than the Jia Ma Empire, while the realm’s overall scale is comparable to the Central Continent’s Northern Region. 228 229
- Population — Approximately one hundred thousand descendants were relocated into the Ye Emperor Realm. Ye Emperor judged this number insufficient and proposed expanding the clan to ten million descendants through a dedicated Population Expansion Group. 229
Techniques and Resources
- Ye Emperor Scripture — Emperor-tier cultivation technique and accompanying combat arts attributed to Ye Emperor. Ye Changge passed it to the ancestor, patriarch, and core elders. 59 60
- Ye Clan clan pattern — A violet-red, nine-stroke forehead mark tied to the clan’s Imperial Blood. It can dramatically increase a user’s strength; Ye Changge used it to reach Half-Saint temporarily. 210 226
- Three-Beast Barbarian Art — A joint attack art used by three grand elders. Their combined aura was comparable to a one-star Dou Zun. 218
- Shattering Sect Pills and Imperial Extreme Pills — High-grade pills supplied by Ye Changge, instrumental in the ancestor’s Dou Zong breakthrough and the clan’s early rise. 56 60 61
- Heavenly Tomb resources — Ye Emperor distributed Ye Clan cultivation methods, Dou Skills, and level-one through level-nine energy cores to accelerate mass cultivation. 220
- Bodhi Ancient Tree and Spirit Gathering Array — The clan accepted the Bodhi Ancient Tree into the Ye Emperor Realm and constructed an enormous array around the Ye Emperor Mountain Range. The tree returned pure energy to the clan, causing widespread breakthroughs. 257 258
Relationships
- Ye Emperor — Founding ancestor and restored protector of the clan; he directs its return to the Central Continent and revival of its Imperial Blood. 210 214 228
- Ye Changge — Young Master and primary benefactor; he provided the Ye Emperor Scripture, medicinal pills, military protection, and the means to revive Ye Emperor. 60 131 213
- Ye Zhan — Patriarch responsible for governing the Jia Ma branch, mobilizing the clan, and commanding its forces in war. 218 221 223
- Ye Emperor Hall — Ye Changge’s sect, whose experts were ordered to support and protect the Ye Clan through a Spatial Wormhole. 131
- Jia Ma Imperial Family — Allied political partner; it granted Ye Royal City to the clan and relied on Ye Clan intervention during the Hall of Souls-backed war. 218 222
- Hall of Souls — Longstanding mortal enemy. The Ye Clan’s reemergence led directly to a major campaign that destroyed the Hall of Souls’ invading force in the Northwest Continent. 199 223 227
