There was a gentle knock on the door, calm and regular, neither impatient nor flattering.
"Come in."
Ye Ruilin's voice was calm, and there was no trace of a night of mysterious practice.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and an old steward from the Ye Mansion walked in with a respectful face and lowered head.
"Master Ruilin, it's getting late. I asked my servant to ask you if you would like breakfast now?"
Ye Ruilin nodded slightly.
"I know, I'll go later."
The old steward responded, bowed and stepped back, gently closing the door.
Ye Ruilin walked to the window and opened it. The cool and humid air in the early morning rushed in, dispelling the last trace of throbbing left in the room due to Ultimate Water.
He took a deep breath and felt the Soul Power in his body rushing like a river, but with an unprecedented harmony and ease.
The two qi of green and black are no longer distinct, but blend with each other and depend on each other like a Tai Chi diagram, forming a more stable and vibrant circle.
Every breath seems to pull the power of water that is free between heaven and earth into one's own body.
Last night's epiphany allowed him to take a crucial step in understanding the Black Tortoise way.
Although Soul Power Level has not made a breakthrough, its true combat power and control of its own power are no longer the same.
"Ultimate Water... Yin and Yang blend..."
He murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with thought.
"Perhaps this is not just a means of attack, but also a...'key' to a higher realm."
He vaguely felt that at the moment when the water power of yin and yang was perfectly integrated, it seemed that he had touched some kind of original rule of the world.
"There is still a long way to go..."
With a sigh, Ye Ruilin gathered his thoughts, left the room, and walked towards the family meeting hall.
At the same time, deep inside the Ye Mansion, in an elegant courtyard.
Xue Qinghe, or in other words, Qian Renxue, was standing by the window, looking through the window lattice at the orderly scene in the Ye Mansion with complicated eyes.
During the past few days at the Ye Family, she felt more and more clearly the terrifying energy contained in this ancient family that had been silent for many years.
On the surface, Xu Family, Xu Chuan, and Body Sect provide direct and unabashed support.
Although Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not directly express his position like Xu Family and Body Sect, the fact that his daughter Ning Rongrong stayed in the Ye Family to practice is a strong signal in itself.
This patriarch, who is known for his ruthless vision and long-sleeved skills, will never make meaningless investments.
Each of these three forces has considerable energy.
Now, they are all standing behind the Ye Family, either openly or covertly.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Xue Qinghe relied on her keen perception and her identity as the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire to realize that many of the seemingly inconspicuous small and medium-sized families and forces who came to watch the ceremony had secretly submitted certificates of nomination to the Ye Family.
An invisible undercurrent is quietly gathering around the Ye Family.
"Ye Family..."
Xue Qinghe pursed his lips slightly, his heart filled with ups and downs.
"After lying dormant for several years, he suddenly came back to be so impressive... This background and connections are really terrifying."
She thought of Ye Zhentian, who looked gentle and elegant, but was actually unfathomable.
This family is like an iceberg floating on the sea. The exposed part is already amazing, but what is hidden under the water is probably even bigger.
"Spirit Hall..."
Xue Qinghe's eyes became dark.
"Today's mainland situation has quietly changed because of the Ye Family's comeback."
All along, the targets of the Spirit Hall are Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire, as well as Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in Upper Three Sects.
Clear Sky Sect is hiding from the world, so let's not worry about it for now.
But now, Ye Family has emerged. Not only is his own strength unfathomable, he also has the potential to unite with the Body Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even win over Xu Family.
The most important thing is that so far, there is no direct and irreconcilable conflict between the Spirit Hall and Ye Family.
Ye Family has been away from the world for several years, and has almost no intersection with the modern expansion of the Spirit Hall.
What they expressed was more about the family's revival and self-preservation than the struggle for hegemony over the continent.
A thought flashed through Xue Qinghe's mind like lightning.
"Winning over... or at least... befriending?"
As soon as this idea appeared, it grew like a vine.
If Ye Family, a powerful variable, can be brought into one's own camp, even if it only remains neutral, it will be an immeasurable help to the Spirit Hall's future plans.
On the contrary, if Ye Family is allowed to get closer and closer to other forces, and even eventually stands on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall... the consequences will be unimaginable.
Qian Renxue The more I thought about it, the firmer my eyes became.
This matter must be carried out as soon as possible!
She walked to the desk and took out a seemingly ordinary jade pendant. Soul Power was slightly vomiting on her fingertips, fluctuating with an extremely secret frequency.
After a while, a faint halo appeared on the jade pendant.
She took a deep breath and condensed her judgments and suggestions into a stream of information. Through this special message Soul Tool, it spanned the distant space and was directly transmitted to the highest place of the Spirit Hall.
Elder's Hall.
The content of the information is very simple: Ye Family has great potential and unlimited potential. It is advisable to make contact early to find out its intentions. If we can make good friends, it will be great. It is recommended that the elders hall level come forward to show sincerity.
Spirit City, Elder Hall.
This is the holy land of the entire Douluo Continent Soul Master World, and it is also the pinnacle of power.
The entire hall is dominated by holy white, with a high-hanging dome carved with complex and majestic angel reliefs.
The air is filled with an awesome, almost stagnant Soul Power pressure.
Deep in the hall, on the tallest and most gorgeous seat, sat an old man with white hair and beard.
He was wearing a simple golden robe, with a calm face and slightly closed eyes, like an eternal sculpture.
But if anyone with keen senses is here, they will be shocked to find that the space around this old man seems to be slightly distorted by his presence.
He is the Optimus Prime of the Spirit Hall, the ninety-nine-level Peerless Douluo, and the only spokesperson of Angel God on the ground - Qian Daoliu.
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu's slightly closed eyes slowly opened.
What kind of eyes are those?
It seems to contain the stars and the sea, seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, with a kind of indifference and majesty overlooking all living beings.
In front of him, in the void, a faint golden light point quietly emerged, flickering like a firefly.
Qian Daoliu Raise your right hand and tap your index finger lightly.
The golden light blended silently into his fingertips and disappeared.
A huge and complex flow of information poured into his mind instantly.
It's a message from Qian Renxue...
Qian Daoliu's expression did not change at all, but in the depths of his eyes that were insightful of the world, there was an unnoticeable flicker of waves.
Ye Family...
This name is not unfamiliar to him.
