Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Who Dares to Touch My Sister!

Qing City, the Ye Family, the Ancestral Shrine. "The ancestors are watching, Ye Xuan has no talent or virtue... From this moment on, Ye Xuan will be deposed, and Ye Lang will succeed him as the Heir Apparent." An old man in a black robe said. Not far behind the old man stood a teenager with a slight smile hanging on his mouth. He was Ye Lang. People on both sides were the elders of Ye's Manor. "Why!" Just then, a timid sound rose suddenly in the Ancestral Shrine. Following the voice, everyone saw a little girl standing at the door. This little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, and her two small hands clenched the corner of the skirt. Her face was a little pale and morbid. She seemed a bit fragile, and there was a trace of nervousness in her eyes. This little girl named Ye Ling was Ye Xuan's blood sister. She heard the family was going to depose Ye Xuan, so she rushed here regardless of her illness. The old man in a black robe frowned and said, "Ye Ling, what are you doing!" The little girl named Ye Ling gave a little salute to everyone in the Ancestral Shrine and said timidly, "Great elder, my brother Ye Xuan is the Heir Apparent, why do you want to depose him?" The great elder glanced at Ye Ling coldly. "This is a family event. Why do you interrupt? Go away!" Ye Ling was obviously a little frightened. She did not dare to look directly at the great elder, but she did not leave. She took the courage to walk into the Ancestral Shrine. Once again, she gave a little salute to the elders on both sides. "Elders, my brother is now vying with the Li Family for the mining rights in Nanshan. He risks his life for the family, and his wellbeing is unknown. However, the family has deposed his Heir Apparent title at this time. It is really unfair.""How dare you!" The great elder suddenly became angry and said, "Whether we depose him or not, it's not your place to comment, you wench. Somebody, come and drag her away." At this point, the new Heir Apparent suddenly smiled and said, "She should be punished by flogging thirty times as a warning to others!" The great elder said coldly, "Then give her 30 floggings!" Soon, two guards in Ye's Manor rushed in. Ye Ling held her hands tightly and said angrily, "It's unfair, my brother has gone through so many trials for the family for so many years. Even at this very moment, he is fighting desperately for the family. But the family is so unfair to him..." One of the guards glanced at the new Heir Apparent Ye Lang, and he knew that his chance was here. The guard smiled coldly. "Childe Ye Lang's inheritance of the Heir Apparent is welcomed by the general public." With this, he raised his hand and slapped Ye Ling in the face. "Pa!" There was a clear sound of a slap, and Ye Ling's right cheek instantly became red and swollen. But she did not cry, she just covered her cheek tightly. Ye Lang looked the guard over. He smiled and asked, "What is your name?" The guard gave a salute promptly. "I am Zhang Mu. Greetings, Heir Apparent." Ye Lang nodded, "You are very good. When I become the Heir Apparent, I will need ten bodyguards, and you will be one of them." Hearing this, Zhang Mu was overjoyed and immediately made a profound salute. "I will go through anything for you and I am willing to risk any danger to do my duty for you, Heir Apparent!" Ye Lang nodded slightly. "Take her away. This person disturbed the Ancestral Shrine. Don't be lenient, do you understand?" Zhang Mu looked at Ye Lang and saw the killing intent in the eyes of Ye Lang and understood. He instantly grabbed Ye Ling by her hair and dragged her out. At this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly stopped when he saw something. In the Ancestral Shrine, people turned their heads one after another to look outside. Not far from the shrine, a teenager was walking to the Ancestral Shrine. He wore a tight long robe which was tattered, and there was blood everywhere. The person who came was exactly Ye Xuan who had hurried back from Nanshan! Seeing Ye Xuan, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Lang's mouth. In the Ancestral Shrine, the elders all frowned. The great elder's eyes slightly narrowed, and his gloomy face looked horrible. No one knew what he was thinking about. In the distance, when Ye Xuan saw Ye Ling who was dragged by Zhang Mu in hand, his face instantly became ferocious. "Who gave you the courage to touch my sister, you piece of shit?" When Zhang Mu saw Ye Xuan, his face suddenly changed. He quickly looked at Ye Lang and was about to talk, but at this moment, Ye Xuan jumped in front of him all of a sudden like a tiger. Before Zhang Mu could react, Ye Xuan punched him in the face. "Bang!" Zhang Mu's head felt a fit of dizziness, his whole body staggered and fell down. But Ye Xuan did not stop as he once again rushed toward Zhang Mu. At this time, Ye Lang who was inside the Ancestral Shrine suddenly bellowed in anger, "Ye Xuan, he is my man, you dare..." Ye Xuan suddenly stepped on the chest of Zhang Mu. "Puff!" Zhang Mu spewed a mouthful of blood immediately. Seeing this scene, Ye Lang's face became incomparably ugly. But Ye Xuan just looked up at him and said fiercely, "Your man?" With this, he slammed his foot on Zhang Mu's face. Zhang Mu's entire face was badly disfigured, and he was whining incessantly, "Heir Apparent, save, save me..." Ye Xuan ignored Zhang Mu who moaned for help and went to Ye Ling. Seeing Ye Ling's appearance, Ye Xuan suddenly felt as if a knife were piercing his heart. He clenched his hands and his whole body was slightly shaking. When Ye Ling saw Ye Xuan, the tears in her eyes poured out suddenly. "Brother, it hurts, hurts..." Hearing her, Ye Xuan looked ferocious. The next moment, he rushed to Zhang Mu's front and then trampled on his head in a fury. "Bang!" Zhang Mu's head hit against the stone steps and instantly burst open, his blood splattering! Seeing this scene, everyone on the spot was stunned. However, Ye Xuan did not stop, he suddenly looked at Ye Lang vehemently. "My sister is not someone you can touch. Fuck your ancestors!" Saying this, he rushed straight toward Ye Lang. Inside the Ancestral Shrine, the Great Elder's face changed. "How dare you!" After he finished, he stepped hard on the ground with the tip of his toes. His whole body directly sliding towards Ye Xuan, and then he sent a slap toward Ye Xuan. His palm wind was strong, swift, and fierce. Ye Xuan's mouth corners showed a hint of ferociousness. His right hand clenched into a fist, and in a split second, his right sleeve was torn apart; the next moment, he punched the great elder's fist. "Poom!" The fists smashed together, and an explosion suddenly sounded. Ye Xuan retreated to the door and the great elder also stepped back several steps. Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. In Qingzhou, warriors were divided into several ranks of realms. The first rank was the Physical Exercising Realm; the second was the Strength Enhancing Realm; the third was the Internal Force Reinforcing Realm; the fourth was the Internal-External Refining Realm; the fifth was the Self-Striving Realm; the sixth was the Qi Varying Realm; and then above these was the Qi Harnessing Realm. The Great Elder was in the real Qi Varying Realm, while Ye Xuan was just in the fifth Self-Striving Realm, with a gap of two realms from the Great Elder. However, Ye Xuan was only slightly weaker. The great elder was also frightened. He knew that Ye Xuan was very talented and was a well-trained Heir Apparent of Ye's Manor, and that Ye Xuan had been fighting for the Ye Family all year round. However, he did not think that Ye Xuan's fighting capacity was so strong! "His wings are hard!" Thinking about this, the killing intent deep inside his eyes was even more intense. The great elder stared steadily at Ye Xuan. "Ye Xuan, how dare you attack the Heir Apparent in public!" Ye Xuan's eyebrows were a little wrinkly. "The Heir Apparent?" The great elder sneered and said, "Ye Xuan, I forgot to tell you. Your Heir Apparent title has been deposed. From now on, Ye Lang is the Heir Apparent of the Ye Family!" Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed. "I have been deposed of the title of the Heir Apparent?" The great elder said coldly, "This is the unanimous decision of our elders." Ye Xuan smiled and said fiercely, "I exerted all my strength to fight out there, while you depose of my Heir Apparent title in here?" The great elder sneered. He pointed to Ye Lang who was not far away and asked, "Do you know who he is?" Without waiting for Ye Xuan's answer, he said again, "Ye Lang is the chosen one, the chosen one who has just awakened!" Ye Xuan was startled. Who was the chosen one? The so-called chosen one was the one chosen by God. In the whole Qing Cang World, there was such a group of people. They might be plain and ordinary when they were young, but one day, they would suddenly 'awake'. After the awakening, they were like a changed man. Not only would their cultivation speed be doubled, but there would be countless adventures and opportunities. They were like the celestial favorites! The Qing Cang World was divided into three continents. He was in the Qing Continent where there were hundreds of large and small countries. He was now in Jiang Country. For decades, there were less than ten chosen ones in Jiang Country, and they all became giants in their regions after. Ye Xuan slowly clenched his hands firmly. He knew that the Ye Family was going to give him up. Not just give him up, but they might also kill him! At this moment, Ye Lang suddenly smiled, "Elders, Ye Xuan killed a man in public and fought with the great elder, according to the regulations of the clan. How should you deal with him?" At the scene, everyone was looking at Ye Lang, and Ye Lang smiled coldly. "According to the regulations of the clan, he should be flogged to death, shouldn't he?" The elders on the scene all nodded to express their approval. Ye Lang was the chosen one and also the grandson of the great elder. They would naturally not offend Ye Lang and the great elder at this time. The great elder took a cold look at Ye Xuan. "Somebody come!" In no time, there appeared dozens of guards of Ye's Manor outside the Ancestral Shrine. At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, "In the Ye's Manor, there is a rule—in order to convince the public, the Heir Apparent must not refuse any challenge that comes from the younger generation of the Ye Family." As he said this, he looked directly at that Ye Lang. "I challenge you!" Ye Lang's eyes narrowed and smiled. "Challenge? Yes, but we have to go up onto the life and death platform, do you dare?""The life and death platform!" The people in the scene burst into an uproar! Within the Ye family, once their own people had irreconcilable contradictions, they could go to the life and death platform. Once they were on the life and death platform, they took sole responsibility for their survival! Ye Xuan sneered, "Yes, go to the life and death platform!" But Ye Lang shook his head. "A month later, you and I will go to life and death platform to determine who lives and who dies. At that time, the patriarch will have just come out of his secluded meditation. You and I can fight to the death, and he can be our witness, lest they say that we sabotage you!" Ye Xuan thought about it and said, "Okay!" After that, he did not say anything. He picked Ye Ling up and walked out of the Ancestral Shrine. Watching Ye Xuan leave with his sister, the great elder looked at Ye Lang. "He has been fighting with people all year round outside, so his fighting capacity is very good. Are you sure?" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Lang's mouth, and the killing intent in his eyes was real. "I just woke up, so my soul has not yet fully integrated with this human body. Otherwise, pinching him dead would be as simple as pinching an ant! After a month, I will have no opponents in this Qing City!" Hearing these words, the great elder nodded slightly and smiled. "This is good." After that, he looked at an elder next to him and whispered, "The person I sent to Nanshan hasn't come back, and I saw that Ye Xuan's face was pale which was a bit abnormal. Ye Ku, you go and find out what had happened to Ye Xuan in Nanshan." The elder nodded and turned away. ... Holding Ye Ling, Ye Xuan returned to the room in his courtyard. He gently placed Ye Ling on the bed and then massaged Ye Ling's puffy cheek. He said softly, "Is it painful?" Ye Ling wiped the tears on her cheeks. "No, it doesn't hurt! Brother, why do they depose of your Heir Apparent title? You have thrown your heart and soul into the family. Why is Ye Lang the chosen one and you are deposed? This is unfair!" Ye Xuan shook his head. He gently rubbed Ye Ling's red and swollen cheeks. "There is no fairness or unfairness. This time, it is my incompetence that I couldn't protect you from being beaten!" Ye Ling shook her head, and the tears in her eyes flowed out again. "No, it's me who is useless. I can't help my brother. I only slow you down." Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then he gently scraped Ye Ling's little nose. "Stupid, I am your brother. The brother protects the sister, and it's perfectly justified, do you understand?" Ye Ling got up and kissed Ye Xuan's forehead gently, and she said seriously, "Brother, when I get well, I will cultivate too in the future and protect you!" Ye Xuan smiled. He gently rubbed Ye Ling's head. "Well, I will cure your illness! Rest first. It's late!" Ye Ling nodded and said, "I want to listen to a story." Ye Xuan smiled and said, "A long time ago, there was a mountain. On the mountain there was a temple. In the temple there was..." Ye Lingbai rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan. "Brother, you have told me this story for many years. However, I like listening..." After half an hour, Ye Ling fell asleep in the bed. After Ye Xuan tucked Ye Ling in, he sat on the floor next to her. He slightly opened his robe. On his abdomen, there was a long scar which was still bleeding. In order to win that mine, he had a bloody fight with the Li Family. But then in a moment of carelessness, he was sneak attacked by a mysterious man. Although he killed his opponent, the man's knife was also inserted into his Elixir Field, so that his Elixir Field had been smashed. "My Elixir Field was smashed!" Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. This meant that he could only cultivate his human body, and he could never reach the sixth stage, the Qi Varying Realm, to refine his Qi! Being unable to cultivate was just a secondary issue! Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Ling in the bed, and her face was still pale. She was covered with three quilts. Even so, she still felt very cold. "Typhoid fever!" Ye Ling had been attacked by the cold when she was young, so her body was weak all year round. If it were not for the fact that he tried very hard to become the Heir Apparent and made countless contributions to the Ye Family so that they provided her with herbal diet and Dan Pills every month, she would have been long gone. Ye Xuan's right hand slowly gripped tight. "Now that I am not the Heir Apparent anymore, will the Ye Family still provide the herbs and Dan Pills for Ye Ling every month?""Moreover, there is a sign that Ye Ling's disease has become more and more serious. If I want to cure her, the only way is to go to Cangmu College in the capital of Jiang Country, because the best doctors of Jiang Country are in there. If I want to go to Cangmu College, I need to reach the Qi Harnessing Realm before the age of 18!""Originally, I had the opportunity because I still have 6 months before I turn 19 years old. However, now that my Elixir Field is broken, it is almost impossible for me to achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm!" Thinking of this, Ye Xuan turned to look at Ye Ling, who had fallen into a dream in her sleep. "No matter what it takes, brother must cure you!" After a while, he seemed to think of something such that he took out a black ring from his arms. This ring was left by his mother. His impression of that woman was vague because she left when he was ten. At that time, at the back door of the Ye's Manor, that woman held him tightly, and her tears continued to flow. Not far behind the woman, stood a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, in fact, the man was not standing, he was floating! In his impression, the man just said one sentence, "Miss, if you don't go, and the patriarch knows the existence of the Childe, the patriarch will be angry. This may lead to a catastrophe of this world that even the Childe could barely live!" Hearing the man's words, the woman gently pushed him away, and then quietly put the ring into his arms. "Xuan'er, take care of Ling'er, take care of yourself. Don't hate your mother..." After saying this, the woman turned and left with the black robed man. He stayed for a while, and then went after them like crazy. But unfortunately, he did not catch up, because the black robe man and the woman were flying. In that case, he kept chasing and chasing until he could chase no more. But that woman did not look back, and she disappeared at the end of the sky just like that black robed man. After a while, Ye Xuan retracted his thoughts. He held the ring tightly in his right hand. He had a wound in his right hand so that at this moment, the wound broke open, and a drop of blood suddenly dripped on that black ring. The ring in his hand suddenly trembled, Ye Xuan was shocked. He quickly looked down at the ring in his hand. At the moment he bowed his head, the ring suddenly turned into a black light and fell into his eyebrows. Instantly, Ye Xuan disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in a piece of an endless starry sky. Not far from him, there was a black tall tower suspended. The tall tower had twelve floors, and it was just suspending there. The tall tower was locked by four huge black chains as thick as the pillar, and at the top of that tower, there were three swords inserted! The whole tower was dark and gloomy. Ye Xuan suppressed the shock in his heart. He looked at the top of the first floor's entrance. There were two big blood-red characters: Prison World. On both sides of the door, there were two lines of blood-red characters, just like a couplet. On the left: Imprisoned the sky, imprisoned the earth, imprisoned the gods and the devils in all the heavens. On the right: Forbidden the Tao, forbidden the fate, forbidden the immortals and the humans in all the worlds. ...

Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The Prison World Tower!

Looking at the black tower in front of him, Ye Xuan was extremely shocked. All of this was already beyond his cognition. Before long, he forced himself to calm down. He knew that this might be an opportunity; of course, it might also be dangerous. Ye Xuan finally chose to push open the tower door and walked in. Naturally, he was not willing to just walk away now. After he entered, Ye Xuan glanced around. The walls were painted with a variety of exotic animals he had never seen before. In addition, there were some mysterious runes in purple and gold, and some runes were even still squirming! Finally, his eyes fell on the place not far ahead of him, where there hunkered down a skeleton with a long sword standing beside it. Ye Xuan's eyes fell upon the lines on the ground before that skeleton: "I am the Cang World Sword Lord. I began to practice my swordsmanship when I was 12, I obtained great achievements in the Tao of the Sword when I was 17 and when I was 21, I was second to none in the Cang World. At the age of 27, I broke my heart by my sword and achieved the supreme Tao of the Sword. I have been trapped in this prison for one thousand and two hundred years. I was unable to leave the tower all my life. Today I know that I will die. I will leave my legacy and I hope my successors can pass it down. If you have sympathy for my feelings, please take care of the Cang World just a little.""The Sword Lord of the Cang World?" Ye Xuan's eyebrows slightly wrinkled. He had never heard of this person. His eyes moved down. Below the words, there was a fist-sized jade! "The Heritage Stone!" Ye Xuan's blood instantly boiled. "A Sword Cultivator!" In the whole Qing Continent, there were many Warriors, but there were very very few Sword Cultivators. It could be said that they were very rare. Because if someone wanted to be a Sword Cultivator, it was said that he should have some special Spiritual Roots first. He knew nothing about Spiritual Roots. Anyway, he only knew that it was very rare. Subconsciously, Ye Xuan was going to take it. However, when he just moved forward, an invisible force blocked him and made him unable to go any further! Ye Xuan was astounded! "I can't get through?""A newcomer?" At this point, a woman's voice suddenly sounded out. Ye Xuan was scared by this unexpected sound. He stepped back a few steps and glanced around but found no one! "I heard it wrong?" As this thought was just raised in Ye Xuan's brain, that voice rang again. "Who dominates the Tao of Heaven in this world?" Ye Xuan was stunned. "The Tao of Heaven? What is that?" After a moment of silence, that voice rang again. "Why are you so weak? No, you were not trapped in here!" Ye Xuan listened and was confused. At this point, the mysterious woman was a little surprised. "You are not just born with a taoistic body, but you have a dual Spiritual Root. Both of them are in you. No wonder this Prison World Tower chose you.""Born with a taoistic body? Dual Spiritual Root?" Ye Xuan was full of doubts and said, "Predecessor, you are?" The mysterious woman said, "You have grown up, in principle, you should at least be in the Secluding Realm. But why are you so weak? And the foundation of your physical body is so poor, which is simply unsightly." Ye Xuan: "..." The mysterious woman suddenly asked, "How do you cultivate your physical body?" Ye Xuan hesitated and then said, "I lift weights, run with weights, pound my body, and so on." The mysterious woman coldly said, "Are you living in primitive times? You even cultivate with such a backward cultivation method which really ruined your physique! It spoils your Spiritual Root!" Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Predecessor, people in Qing City all cultivate like that." The woman was silent. Ye Xuan was speechless. He looked around and still couldn't see anyone. In here, weird things were everywhere. Seeing that the mysterious woman was not talking, his eyes once again fell on the Heritage Stone in front of him, and he made no secret of the fire in his eyes. "You want to learn the sword?" The mysterious woman suddenly asked. Ye Xuan quickly nodded. "Yes!""Who does not want to ride with the sword and overlook the universe between Heaven and Earth?" The mysterious woman said, "Your Elixir Field is broken, you can't cultivate the inheritance of the Sword Cultivator in front of you." After hearing this, Ye Xuan's face dimmed. His Elixir Field was broken! Not to mention becoming a Sword Cultivator, he might not have any chance to become a normal Warrior. He could only be considered as a Fighter at present. At this time, the mysterious woman suddenly said, "How about this, I have a way of cultivating the Tao of the Sword, which is not the same as the others, do you want to learn?" Ye Xuan was stunned and instantly said, "Can I learn it without the Elixir Field?" The mysterious woman said, "It is better without the Elixir Field.""I can learn it without the Elixir Field." Ye Xuan almost jumped up in excitement, but he still forced himself to calm down. He glanced around. "What are your conditions, predecessor?" He knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world. The mysterious woman said, "This tower was hit hard in the past. Its nine rules are scattered in this Qing Cang World. The seal on each floor is loose. You are lucky, because when you came in, the Sword Cultivator in front of you was already dead. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would be a dead body already." Ye Xuan: "..." The mysterious woman said again, "I know that you are wondering what on earth the tower is, but it is meaningless to explain it to you. You only need to know that the tower has 12 floors. Each floor holds a top existence of the world in which there are people, spirits, demons, and even the Tao of Heaven's soul of a world... The tower could suppress them before, but now, the tower's seal is loose and can't suppress them anymore." Speaking of this, she paused a little and then said, "What you need to do is to find the Rules for the Tao between Heaven and Earth to strengthen the tower. Of course, you can also choose to let them out.""Let them out?" Ye Xuan went blank and said, "What will happen?" The mysterious woman said, "There are two results. The first is that they will kill you and take the tower; the second is that you will suppress them and let them work for you. Of course, with your present strength, the probability they kill you should be a hundred percent." Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. "It is as much curse as a blessing!" Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Xuan asked immediately, "Predecessor, are you locked in here too?" The mysterious woman said, "No!" Ye Xuan pursued, "Then?" The mysterious woman said, "You have asked too much." Ye Xuan: "..." The mysterious woman said, "You are now the owner of the tower. Every time you retrieve one Rule for the Tao, not only will your strength be increased greatly, but your control of the tower will also be greatly enhanced. If you can retrieve the first Rule for the Tao, then you can control the first layer. If you are fighting against someone in the future, you can get the tower to trap the enemy, as long as the enemy is not much stronger than you. Now the tower doesn't have a single Rule for the Tao, so its function is completely invalid. Not only is the function completely ineffective, but the seal of each layer is also gradually loosening. Once the tower is completely destroyed, the existence held in the tower will be released. Your world will be destroyed, and you should be the first to die." Ye Xuan said in a low voice, "Predecessor, do you want me to save all beings of the world?" The mysterious woman said, "You should save yourself. What is locked up in the second layer is not something good. If it is as expected, in a year at most, the second layer's seal will disappear completely. At that time, you can say goodbye to this wonderful world." Ye Xuan made a deep bow to the front. "Please enlighten me with the cultivation method that doesn't need the Elixir Field." After the mysterious woman went silent for a while, she said, "My way of cultivating the sword is very different from the traditional ways. The level of difficulty is also quite different. It may be better to die than to practice. You have to think through it clearly." Ye Xuan laughed at himself. "Now my Elixir Field is broken. There is no other way to go, isn't it?" The mysterious woman said, "It is also true. However, I still have to tell you about this cultivation method. You don't have the Elixir Field, which is just right for my method that needs to take the sword as the Elixir Field." Ye Xuan was startled. "Take the sword as the Elixir Field? Can this work?" The mysterious woman said, "Of course, it can. You take the sword as the Elixir Field. The way you cultivate is not the Tao of Martial Arts, but the Tao of the Sword. You take the sword as your Elixir Field; the better the sword, the better your Elixir Field. Not only that, in the future, while others practice the Qi, you practice the sword. In days to come, you don't need to sit in meditation to absorb Spiritual Qi, and you just need to find a good sword to absorb. The better the sword, the faster you will improve. If you achieve the initial success in the early stage, your body will become the sword body, then you will be immune to ordinary swords. Not just immune, but when you appear, you can make all swords surrender to you.""All the swords surrender!" Hearing this, Ye Xuan's blood began to boil. He was somewhat unable to hold himself back. At this time, the mysterious woman said again, "Before you came in, did you see the three swords at the top of the tower?" Ye Xuan nodded. "I saw them." The mysterious woman said, "Those three swords represent the three ultimate Tao of the Sword. If you can absorb them into your body and internalize them as your Elixir Field, your strength will reach an unprecedented height." Ye Xuan hesitated, and then said, "I see that the three swords seem to be suppressing the tower. If I absorb them, will anything go wrong?""How can that happen?" The mysterious woman replied in next to no time, "Nothing bad will happen. Believe me, I will cover for you." Ye Xuan had some doubts. But he knew that he had no other choice at this moment, he could only choose to believe. The mysterious woman said, "See that sword in front of you?" Ye Xuan looked at somewhere not far ahead. There was a sword inserted beside the skeleton. The sword was more than three feet long and a finger wide. Its entire body was silver which looked very pleasing to the eye. On the sword, engraved two small characters: Ling Xiao! "The Ling Xiao Sword!" The mysterious woman said, "This sword has been confined in here for 1,200 years. Almost 90% of its Spiritual Strength has disappeared, thus it's just right for you to use now. I will pass you a piece of the practicing method. You will follow the way described in the method to absorb this sword into your body. You have reached the pinnacle of the fifth Self-Striving Realm. If you succeed, you should be able to achieve the sixth Qi Varying Realm." Ye Xuan perceived the meaning in the mysterious woman's words. Instantly, he hurried to ask, "I might fail?" The mysterious woman answered, "Perhaps you will!" Ye Xuan shocked, "Predecessor, please don't tell me that this way of cultivation has never been used by anyone before!" The mysterious woman was silent for a while, then said, "Undeniably, it has been used by no one, so you are the first one. If you succeed, congratulations, you will be a pioneer." Ye Xuan's expression froze. In a little while, he smiled bitterly and asked, "What will happen if I fail?" The mysterious woman said, "The sword will break your human body, so you will maybe, should be, probably, perhaps die." Ye Xuan: "..." The mysterious woman said, "Now your Elixir Field is broken, you are already better off dead. Why do you think so much? Just go for it." At those words Ye Xuan suddenly turned solemn. "She is right, my Elixir Field has already been broken, so it is a desperate situation now. If I do not fight, not only will I have no hope, but my sister Ye Ling will have no way to live!""I must fight for it!" Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Come." When his voice fell, a white light suddenly engulfed him. Soon, all the information flooded into his mind. "The Invincible Sword Body Incantation!""The human body to become the sword, the sword to be the Elixir Field, the Elixir Field to take in all swords in the world, all swords in the world to nourish the body, endlessly..." A moment later, a white light suddenly fell on the long sword in front of Ye Xuan such that the long sword trembled slightly, and then it turned into a sword light that went directly into the body of Ye Xuan. "Ah!" In an instant, Ye Xuan's eyes abruptly opened wide, all his facial features were distorted. "That hurts!""It's a deadly pain!" At this instant, Ye Xuan felt like his whole body was being cut by a blade, inch by inch! At this point, the mysterious woman's voice rang in Ye Xuan's brain. "The sword has entered your body. You must bear the pain it has caused. If you can't, you can't make the sword into your Elixir Field! Not just that, but you might possibly be killed!" Ye Xuan tightly clenched his teeth and his whole body trembled fiercely. "To conquer or to die!" Time went on little by little, Ye Xuan's ears, eyes, lips, nose, and tongue almost twisted into a grimace. But not only that, his entire body was twitching from time to time. Many times, he was in so much pain that he almost fainted. However, he knew that once he passed out, he may never wake up again. "Must hold on!" Just like this, Ye Xuan unbendingly endured. After about a day or so, a slight sword sound suddenly buzzed in Ye Xuan's body, and in a second, Ye Xuan fell down. At the same time, a stream of Qi suddenly spread out of him! The Qi Varying Realm! In the original position of Ye Xuan's Elixir Field, there suspended a tiny little sword. In the tower, a faint murmur suddenly rang out. "I didn't expect it could..." It's a pity that Ye Xuan was passed out at this moment. He didn't hear this sentence at all.

Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Once A Man Falls Into Disgrace, He Is No Better Than A Dog

Didn't know how long it took, Ye Xuan's eyes slowly opened. Seemingly feeling something, he sat up abruptly and thought unbelievingly, "Have I reached the Qi Varying Realm?" The Qi Varying Realm! Because at this moment, he felt that there was Qi flowing in his body. No, that was not the Qi flowing, that was the Sword Qi! Not only that, but he also felt a small silver sword suspended in the Elixir Field at the abdomen in his body. At this time, the mysterious woman's voice suddenly sounded. "You have achieved the Qi Varying Realm.""I really have achieved the Qi Varying Realm!" Ye Xuan clenched his fists, his whole body was shaking slightly, but it was not because of anger. It was because of excitement. He, at this moment, seemed to have seen a beam of light in the dark abyss. Seeing hope in a hopeless situation, how could he not be excited? The most important thing was that he definitely could have the chance to achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm, and then he could take his sister to Cangmu College in the Imperial Capital to seek medical advice. "What are you excited about!" The mysterious woman said all of a sudden, "It's just the beginning." Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly. "Just laugh at me, predecessor." The mysterious woman said, "Taking the sword as your Elixir Field makes up for your defect of not having an Elixir Field, but there are also some negative aspects. The swords are divided into the Common Sword, the Spiritual Sword, the Bright Sword, the Genuine Sword, the Heavenly Sword, the Tao Sword, and the Immortal Sword. The sword in your body was once at the level of the Genuine Sword, but after a thousand and two hundred years of erosion, its original 'genuineness' had dissipated. Not only had the 'genuineness' dissipated, but even the 'brightness' in the heart of the sword has also disappeared. It is now only a Spiritual Sword." Speaking of this, the mysterious woman paused slightly and then said, "The soul of a sword is bound to vanish one day. Once it disappears, and the sword is broken, you will be the first to die!" Ye Xuan's expression froze. The mysterious woman said, "You have two solutions. The first solution is to constantly look for a new Spiritual Sword to consume. After consuming it, the sword's Spiritual Qi will not only enhance yourself but also supply the Spiritual Strength of the sword in your body. The second solution is to search for a new sword to replace the sword in your body. The better the sword, the better your Elixir Field will be and naturally, your strength will be better. Of course, you are obviously a poor wretch, and I'm afraid you don't even have a Common Sword!" Ye Xuan seemed to think of something. He hurriedly asked, "Are there three swords at the top of the tower? What's the level of those three swords?" The mysterious woman said indifferently, "No level." Ye Xuan, "..." The mysterious woman spoke again, "Boy, I advise you not to make yourself paranoid. If it were not for the existence of the three swords, your world would have become a deadly place a long time ago. You don't need to worry about the sword thing. The sword in your body should be able to last for about a year. Right now, the pressing matter for you at this moment is to practice the sword.""Practicing the sword!" Ye Xuan instantly asked, "How should I practice?""To kill!", the mysterious woman said. Ye Xuan, "..." The mysterious woman said, "The sword is a sharp tool designed for killing. Only by killing can you really understand its beauty. Of course, you need to practice your speed and strength at the beginning. Use the sword incantation that I have taught you to rouse the sword within your body!" Ye Xuan was stunned for a bit, then his eyes slowly closed. Almost immediately, his palms spread out, a sword light flashed in his palm, followed by a sword suspended in his palm. It was the silver Ling Xiao Sword in his body! Ye Xuan was stunned, "Predecessor, this, this sword can be called out?" The mysterious woman said, "Yes, but you'd better not use this sword for fighting because once the sword is destroyed, you will die. You are still short of an opponent, I will find you one!" As the woman's voice fell, in front of Ye Xuan, an illusory shadow showed up. The mysterious woman said, "The shadow in front of you is at the level of the Qi Varying Realm which is the same with you. Let's get started!" Just when the mysterious woman's voice fell, the illusory shadow in front of Ye Xuan disappeared! Ye Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank because his opponent's speed was very fast. On instinct, he dodged sideways. However, the sword seemed to know that he was going to dodge, because it suddenly changed its posture at the moment he did. When Ye Xuan's feet just landed, that sword directly stabbed on his chest! His blood spilled out! Ye Xuan was startled and then said, "Predecessor, aren't we practicing the sword? Why do it for real? Besides, predecessor, you did not teach me any sword skills or sword moves!" The mysterious woman's voice suddenly cooled down. "Practicing the sword? The most powerful killing moves of a Sword Cultivator can never be learned by practicing, but by killing. The virtual shadow in front of you is your enemy and your teacher. If you are smart, he will teach you basic swordsmanship. Injury is your best teacher, understand? As for the sword skills and sword moves, don't worry, it is more important to lay a good foundation first!" Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. Finally, he nodded. "Understood." After that, his right foot slammed the ground and his whole body rushed forward. In the tower, Ye Xuan got more and more injuries, but his courage mounted. Fighting? He, Ye Xuan, was never afraid of fighting. He used to be the Heir Apparent of the Ye's Manor. For the interests of the Ye's, he often represented the Ye's Manor to join all kinds of life or death battles. This was why he could resist the Great Elder even though he was only in the Self-Striving Realm. He achieved this realm not by cultivating, but by killing. Gradually, Ye Xuan began to learn the sword moves of the shadow. Not only that, every time he got injured, he would understand why he was injured and how he could not get injured again! Therefore, after three days of hard struggling, Ye Xuan's injuries gradually began to decrease. Of course, he didn't learn any sword moves yet. But he learned when to draw the sword, when not to draw, when to block, when to dodge... However, these were at the expense of his blood. This kind of sparring was cruel but it was the most effective. Two more days had passed. Now, Ye Xuan was able to fight back little by little. When he started to fight back, he found that the defensive ability of this shadow in front of him was not just good, but overwhelmingly better than his previous defense. For him, the defense of this shadow was simply airtight, no matter how he attacked, the opposite side could perfectly resolve it. Of course, this was a good thing for him, because this shadow was equivalent to teaching him how to defend. Time passed slowly in the tower, Ye Xuan forgot all about eating and sleeping, and just kept practicing with the shadow. During this time, his strength and speed, as well as his reaction ability, were much better than before. This discovery made Ye Xuan ecstatic, and he cultivated more and more crazily. Outside, the Ye's Manor. Ye Ku walked into the Great Elder's room with an excited smile. "Great elder, I have researched into the previous Nanshan event. Although the killer I sent failed to kill Ye Xuan, the survivors of the Li Family saw with their own eyes that Ye Xuan's Elixir Field was broken!" Upon hearing this, the Great Elder opened his eyes abruptly. "Are you sure?" Ye Ku nodded, "It's absolutely true. I went to ask the survivors in person, and they said that Ye Xuan's Elixir Field was indeed destroyed.""There is a God that wants to destroy him, that Ye Xuan, haha..." In the room, the Great Elder sneered incessantly. "The Elixir Field was broken!""If a person does not have the Elixir Field, he is nothing but a rough-neck. One can only be called a Warrior if he has an Elixir Field.""Ye Xuan's Elixir Field is damaged so that he can be said to have become a disabled person. Even if he has a quite good fighting capacity, he only has brute force. Because only after mastering Qi can one be considered strong." After a while, the Great Elder said hardheartedly, "Ye Ku, call all the people together to eradicate him so as to get rid of potential troubles in the future!" The elder named Ye Ku shook his head. "No!" The Great Elder looked at that Ye Ku, and the latter said, "Great Elder, after all, Ye Xuan has made a lot of contributions to the Ye Family. Killing him now will make many people in the Ye's Manor feel disillusioned. Plus that Ye Lang has just become the Heir Apparent and has a life and death appointment with him. If you slay him at this time, what will outsiders think? They must all think that it's us who have done this. Not only outsiders, if it is spread out, I'm afraid that the Li Family will also use this thing to make a fuss!" The Great Elder's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. "In your opinion, what should we do?" Ye Ku smiled, "Doesn't Ye Lang have a life and death appointment with him? If Ye Lang kills him at that time, it will be perfectly justifiable. Thus, no one will gossip. Also, Ye Lang can build his prestige and can even distinguish himself in Qing City. Not only that, but when they come to the Life and Death Platform, even if the Patriarch is out of his secluded meditation, he can't say anything about this, can he?" The Great Elder thought for a moment and then nodded. "It's also alright. Anyway, his Elixir Field is broken, so he is not a threat." Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with a chill. "However, during this period, don't let him live too comfortably. Give out my order, from now on, stop the monthly supply of money and meals to Ye Xuan and his sister. Cancel all his preferential treatments and privileges as the previous Heir Apparent. He won't be allowed to step into the Martial Arts Attic of the Ye Family, or even leave the Ye's Manor without authorization. In addition, his sister's medicated meals are to stop altogether. Hmph, it's not known how many Dan Pills and medicinal materials his sister has spent on her cold over these years. If it were not for the fact that she was somewhat useful, an old fellow like me should have driven her out of the Ye's Manor long ago!" Ye Ku smiled a little. "Now that his Elixir Field is crushed, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a useless man." The Great Elder nodded and said, "Ye Lang just woke up. If he needs anything, the Ye Family should make every effort to satisfy him. What's more, he can go to the Martial Arts Attic at any time and he can watch everything inside." Ye Ku nodded. "Understood. Right, that Ye Ling is not young anymore. Or, we can marry her to a servant of the Manor?" The Great Elder sluggishly closed his eyes. "It is up to you!" ... Inside the Prison World Tower. Ye Xuan lay on the ground and gasped wildly. He had sword wounds all over his body. But fortunately, after he had reached the Qi Varying Realm, he could use the Spiritual Qi to treat these wounds, yet the pain was inevitable. Although he suffered some pain, he really had gained too much in the past few days. His original fighting capacity was not bad, and he was one of the top among the younger generation of the Qing City. Now after a few days of training, his fighting capacity reached a higher level! "How do you feel?" The mysterious woman's voice suddenly sounded. Ye Xuan grinned and said, "I feel pretty good." The mysterious woman said, "This is just the beginning. Your road in the future will get tougher. Needless to say, going the way of the Tao of the Martial Arts is just like walking close to the abyss, and the Tao of the Sword can be even more difficult. You don't have the Elixir Field so you have to take the unusual road so you will bear much more suffering in the upcoming days." Ye Xuan's eyes gradually closed up. "Suffering. I do not fear suffering." He grew up in the Ye Family together with his sister. What kind of hardships had he not borne? He had no background, but he could still become the Heir Apparent, which was all due to his desperate fighting. Moreover, now he had the chance to reach the Qi Harnessing Realm, so his sister's illness had hope. Even if he were to bear all the suffering in the world, he would be willing to do it. After a short break, Ye Xuan left the Prison World Tower. He did not cultivate to the extent of fasting, thus eating was still necessary. Soon after Ye Xuan had returned the room, Ye Ling walked in. Ye Ling went to Ye Xuan's front and lowered her head. She handed Ye Xuan two white flour buns, and whispered, "Brother, eat..." Ye Xuan's brow wrinkled. "What's wrong? Look up." Ye Ling raised her little head, and Ye Xuan's face suddenly changed. On the right cheek of Ye Ling, there was a red palm print! "What's going on!" Ye Xuan's eyes instantly cooled down. Ye Ling shook her little head. "No, no, I accidentally got this bruise!" Ye Xuan pulled Ye Ling toward him. "To tell you the truth, I am not dead yet. I can help you with that." Ye Ling's tears poured out immediately. She wiped the tears on her cheeks. "Brother, the kitchen didn't send meals to us today so I went to the kitchen myself. Manager Wang from the kitchen gave me leftovers. How can I eat such food? The food was already spoiled and there were maggots in it. I was unbearably indignant so I complained to him. He said that you were not the Heir Apparent anymore, so you and I could only eat such food. Then he, he said, if I wanted to have a meal, I had to sleep with him for one night... I scolded him, so he beat me." Ye Xuan's face was ice-cold, his fists clenched, and his nails pierced deeply into his palm. "Once a man falls into disgrace, he is no better than a dog!" After that, he took Ye Ling's hand, walked out of the room, and went straight to the kitchen of Ye's Manor.

Chapter 4 Chapter 4 If the Sky Falls, I Will Hold It First!

Along the way, when Ye Xuan rushed in a hurry with Ye Ling, and some people pointed their fingers at them. When Ye Xuan was the Heir Apparent, people in the Manor were respectful and courteous to him. They always took the initiative to say hello when they saw him. But now he was no longer the Heir Apparent. Those who had flattered him before now basically hastened to avoid him or pretended they did not know him once they saw Ye Xuan. After all, now the Heir Apparent of Ye's Manor was Ye Lang, and no one wanted to offend Ye Lang and the Great Elder. Ye Xuan did not care about this. Only when you were in trouble could you see a person's true character! On the road, Ye Ling tightly held Ye Xuan's hands and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, why don't we forget it? I, I'm not hurt... They have those elders behind them, and they will target you." Ye Xuan stopped. He turned his head and looked at Ye Ling. He said ferociously, "Whoever dares to beat you, even if he is the Great Elder, I will fucking kill him!" As he said that, he took Ye Ling and walked quickly toward the distance. Soon, Ye Xuan came to the kitchen of Ye's Manor with Ye Ling. At this time, a fat man came out. This person was Manager Wang who was in charge of the Ye's Manor's entire kitchen! Manager Wang glanced at Ye Xuan, slightly stunned. But soon, his fat face was full of smiles. "Yo, what kind of wind blows the Heir Apparent here? Oh, my, excuse me for my poor memory, I forgot that you are not the Heir Apparent anymore. Ah, my bad memory! Right, I should call you brother-in-law now, the elders have already married your sister to me, we..." At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly sprinted to the front of Manager Wang. Before Manager Wang could react, Ye Xuan kicked Manager Wang directly in the crotch. "Ah!" Manager Wang's eyes went wide and his facial features were distorted in an instant. And everyone around was stupefied. "What is Ye Xuan going to do?" In the eyes of countless people, Ye Xuan angrily shouted, "Since she was born, I was not willing to beat my sister, but you fucking dared to beat her." As he said, he abruptly slapped Manager Wang in the face. "Pa!" This slap sound was as loud as thunder! "Puff!" Manager Wang spat a mouthful of blood directly from his mouth. His whole body rolled on the ground. His two hands covered his crotch, and he whined incessantly like a pig being slaughtered. Ye Xuan was going to make his next move, but just then, a shout of anger suddenly came behind him, "Ye Xuan, how dare you!" The arriving person was Ye Ku, and behind him, several guards of Ye's Manor followed. Ye Xuan didn't care about Ye Ku. He stepped on the constantly moaning face of Manager Wang, then turned to look at Ye Ling who was frightened pale. "Which hand did he hit you with?" Ye Ling said in a trembling voice, "Right, right hand. Brother, no. Forget, forget it..." Ye Ling's voice did not fall yet, but Ye Xuan suddenly pulled out his dagger at his waist, and then cut sharply at Manager Wang's shoulder. "Sizzle!" Manager Wang's entire right arm was directly separated from his shoulder, and blood gushed from the wound in torrents. It was as silent as a graveyard. Everyone around was dumbfounded, even Ye Ku's eyes were widened with incredible colors! As for Manager Wang, he fainted straight away. Ye Ling covered her little mouth and was frightened too. At this moment, Ye Ku came around and he pointed at Ye Xuan furiously, saying, "Ye Xuan, how dare you. You, you committed such violence right in front of me, you..." Ye Xuan swiftly turned and pointed at Ye Ku with his dagger, and scolded fiercely, "Old dog, don't think I don't know that it was you and the Great Elder who conspired against me behind my back. You fucking bastards, you only know how to plot against people on your own side. If you have the ability, go plan against the Zhang Family, plan against the Li Family, and plan against the Chatelain's Manor! You are tough at home but as feeble as a dog outside. This is the virtue of the elders!" The Zhang Family, the Li Family, and the Chatelain's Manor, these three forces together with the Ye Family were jointly called the four major forces of Qing City, within which the Ye Family's strength was the weakest. Hearing him say that, Ye Ku's face became extremely ugly. He said furiously, "Ye Xuan, how can you be so arrogant? You have committed physical assault in broad daylight in front of everyone, you...” "What are you gabbling about?" At this point in time, Ye Xuan suddenly bellowed in anger, "I fucking chopped him already, come and hit me!" Ye Ku's face turned purple with rage, and he roared, "Take him down for me!" However, the few guards of Ye's Manor beside him did not dare to move. Representing the Ye Family, Ye Xuan had fought many bloody battles. His prestige was very high among the guards in Ye's Manor. When faced with the other three forces, only Ye Xuan dared to be firm in his attitude and was able to fight whenever it was needed. Moreover, he usually took some people from Ye's Manor to compete for territory outside. It can be said that most of the guards in Ye's Manor had fought side by side with Ye Xuan. Seeing that the guards did not dare move, Ye Ku was astounded. Then he yelled in anger, "Are you defying my orders?" The head of the guards glanced at Ye Xuan, and with hesitation said, "Brother Ye, I, we..." Ye Xuan glanced at that guard. "Li Mu, you have experienced at least hundreds of bloody battles with me. You guys who had fought with me know best how I treated Ye's Manor. But now, the family gave rotten food to me and my sister. I can't endure this. I won't put you in an awkward situation, and I know your circumstances. However, I should say it in advance that if you make a move today, our brotherhood will all be canceled on the spot. You need not show me mercy, and I won't be lenient either!" After he had heard this, Li Mu's face suddenly became ugly. The several forces in Qing City often competed for territories and mines. Each competition meant that they would have bloody battles. It was a rule that the older generations could not take part in these for the reason that once they were in, it would become a war between the clans. At that time, all of them would suffer great losses. Therefore, there was this rule that only allowed the younger generation to come out to fight. In this way, not only could losses be avoided, but it could also toughen the younger generation. Ye Xuan was the representative of Ye's Manor! It could also be said that he was the head of the younger generation of Ye's Manor. These guards had gone through thick and thin many times with him so they naturally formed a friendship with him. And there was one more thing, that they were very clear about the strength and character of Ye Xuan. Once he started to fight, he would definitely become a madman who was not afraid of dying. The guards would definitely be killed if they began to fight. Seeing that Li Mu and others had not yet moved, Ye Ku said brutally, "You really don't want to live?" Li Mu took a deep breath and was about to talk. At this point, Ye Xuan abruptly said, "He knows that you people are not my match. He does not dare do it himself; instead, he wants you to make the move. He just wants me to kill you all to make things bigger." As he said that, there was sarcasm in the corners of his mouth. "Those elders of Ye's Manor who live a comfortable life really do well in plotting their own men!" When they heard this, Li Mu and other people's faces turned ugly. "This Ye Ku was going to sacrifice them!" Ye Ku stared intensely at Ye Xuan and said, "Ye Xuan, today is different, if you stayed low, you may still live a few more days. But unfortunately, you can't see the situation clearly. At this point, you are still swollen with arrogance. You..." "An old dog!" At this point, Ye Xuan interrupted Ye Ku all of a sudden. "You old dog, did you take part in marrying my sister to this bastard?" Ye Ku jeered, "It was precisely my idea. What can you do to me?" Ye Xuan looked ferociously. "I'll drop it if you just harm me. My sister is only twelve years old, and you old dogs dare to injure her. I'll fuck your ancestors over!” As soon as he stopped, he stomped his right foot in a frenzy. "Bang!" The bluestone floor at the foot of Ye Xuan exploded. All at once, Ye Xuan's whole body jumped at Ye Ku like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Seeing this scene, Ye Ku's face changed greatly. He did not think that Ye Xuan would actually dare to hit him because he was an elder of Ye's Manor! "Does this Ye Xuan really want to rebel?" Ye Ku didn't have time to think more about it. He half squatted and took a step backward as his right hand clenched into a fist. The next moment, he jerked forward. Punch Collapse! This was a low-level martial art technique of the Ye's Manor: Punch to Collapse Stones! At this time, Ye Xuan's fist arrived, using the same low-level martial skill as him. "Bang!" Their two fists collided, and Ye Ku's facial expression greatly changed. His right hand was broken in an instant, and his blood splashed! Before Ye Ku could react, Ye Xuan pounced on and launched an explosive punch on his abdomen speedily. "Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from Ye Ku's mouth, his whole body bowed and flew backward. As Ye Ku fell on the ground, Ye Xuan stepped on his chest. Ye Ku fixed his eyes on Ye Xuan, "It's impossible, why was your Punch Collapse so powerful, you..." Although he was the internal elder in charge of the internal affairs of Ye's Manor whose strength was not so strong but was still in the Qi Varying Realm, to his surprise, he was defeated by Ye Xuan's one punch! Ye Xuan fiercely slapped a fan in Ye Ku's face, "You old dogs live a comfortable, luxurious life in Ye's Manor all day long. Your Punch Collapse is as weak as a child's, and I feel ashamed for you!" Ye Ku glared at Ye Xuan. "You dare to beat me!" Ye Xuan slapped Ye Ku's face again. "I precisely want to beat you!" Ye Ku's whole face was swollen right away! "Ah, ah, ah, ah..." Being humiliated by Ye Xuan in public, Ye Ku screamed frantically. "Why aren't you doing anything!" At one side, Li Mu and others were rather hesitant. "If we could beat him, we might start the fight. But the problem is we are no match for him.""How dare you!" At this moment, an angry roar came from not far away. Hearing this sound, everyone looked toward that voice. At a distance, the Great Elder was coming in a hurry. Behind him, there were all the elders and guards of Ye's Manor. Ye Ling hurriedly went close to Ye Xuan, her small hands tightly pulled at Ye Xuan's clothes and she said in a trembling voice, "Brother, you, you run, hurry, hurry..." Ye Xuan held Ye Ling's trembling hands and said softly, "Don't be afraid!" Ye Ling cried instantly, "It was… It was my fault, brother... I got you into trouble, I, I am really useless... I'm sorry..." Ye Xuan smiled gently. "Don't be afraid, even if the heaven falls, I will hold it first!" He said that and looked at the great elder, smirking. "Great Elder, let there be peace! I apologize for my mistake. Let us forget this incident, how about that?" The Great Elder was so angry that he started laughing. "Let there be peace? Forget it? Ye Xuan, are you daydreaming? You..." At this instant, Ye Xuan stepped on the throat of Ye Ku all of a sudden. "Click!" The sound of bones crunching echoed in the field, Ye Ku widened his eyes which were full of disbelief. Soon, the color in Ye Ku's eyes gradually dissipated. Everyone was stunned. Ye Xuan looked at the Great Elder. "If you are unwilling to make peace, then let's fight one-on-one!" In the eyes of countless people, Ye Xuan walked up to the great elder. "Great Elder, as a junior, I challenge you. Do you not dare take this challenge?"

Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Hidden Realm!

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. "Challenge!""Ye Xuan challenges the Great Elder!" Everyone in Ye's Manor was shocked. In Ye's Manor, the most powerful man was naturally the Patriarch who was in seclusion now. The second one was Ye Qing, the Guardian Elder of the Ye's Manor, but he was not in the Manor now. The third was the Great Elder. But now Ye Xuan actually challenged the Great Elder! "Was he over-confident?" Some people thought so, while some others thought that Ye Xuan was not without the ability to fight. Ye Xuan used to cultivate under the full support of Ye's Manor. Besides, unlike the Great Elder who reveled in a high position and indulged in comfort all year round, he lived on the edge almost every single day. He had the kind of fortitude, courage, and uprightness which the Great Elder didn't have. In the eyes of everyone in Ye's Manor, although Ye Xuan was only in the fifth Self-Striving Realm, if he put up a desperate fight, he still had a small chance to win! In front of Ye Xuan, the Great Elder gazed intensely at Ye Xuan because he didn't think that Ye Xuan would actually challenge him! "Accept it or not?" If he didn't accept, this would spread, and he would lose so much prestige! Not just that, his prestige would be greatly reduced in Ye's Manor, and he was afraid that someone would refuse to obey his orders in the future. "Accept it?" At the thought of Ye Xuan's fighting capacity, he was a little hesitant. Although his realm was higher than Ye Xuan's, he hadn't fought against an enemy for many many years. He only occasionally sparred with someone in Ye's Manor which usually stopped before it became dangerous. But Ye Xuan was different, each of his fights outside was a matter of life and death. He knew very clearly what it meant! Moreover, even if he won against Ye Xuan, the others would only say that he was bullying him; if he lost, it would be a huge loss of his face. By that time, even his position as an elder couldn't be guaranteed! The Great Elder's face was terribly gloomy! Originally it was Ye Xuan's desperate move; but at this moment, Ye Xuan forced him into a desperate situation! At this point, a voice suddenly came out on the scene. "Don't you and I have an appointment one month later?" Everyone looked toward the voice, and nearby, Ye Lang slowly walked toward here! Ye Lang, the current Heir Apparent of Ye's Manor! The Great Elder was about to speak. Suddenly, his eyes widened and were full of disbelief. "Ye Lang, you, have you already reached the Qi Varying Realm?""The Qi Varying Realm!" Everyone on the spot was dumbfounded. In the eyes of everyone, Ye Lang nodded slightly. "I’m not talented enough. It took me more than ten days to reach the Qi Varying Realm. It was too slow." Hearing what he said, everyone gasped in shock. "Is this too slow?" One must know that before Ye Lang awakened, he was only at the fourth level, the Internal-External Refining Realm. And in just ten days, Ye Lang actually reached the Qi Varying Realm! As far as cultivation speed is concerned, it can be said that he is without parallel in the history of the Ye Family! Upon hearing Ye Lang's words, the Great Elder suddenly burst into laughter. "God bless our Ye Family, haha...” In Ye's Manor, everyone went into rapture. With Ye Lang's cultivation speed, the Ye Family could definitely become a great clan in the world! Ye Lang's eyes fell on Ye Xuan. He smiled and said, "What qualifications do you have to challenge the Great Elder? You will be qualified to challenge the Great Elder only if you beat me. Our life and death appointment is less than twenty days away, isn't it?" Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Lang, he smiled and said, "You see, I almost forgot." With this, he looked at the Great Elder. "Great elder, I have offended you. Hmm, after I finish the competition with your grandson, I will compare notes with you, Great Elder. Now, I've got to go!" After that, he turned away immediately with Ye Ling. "Hold on!" At this moment, the Great Elder was suddenly angered. "You have killed an elder, in this case..." Ye Xuan suddenly turned to look at the Great Elder. "Great Elder, how about you take me on now? Or, your grandson can compete with me now to decide the life and death appointment. Or, are you so afraid of me that you deliberately sent Ye Ku to trouble me, and you can find an excuse to kill me? If it is so, then you shouldn't have to worry so much. The two of you can come together, and I am definitely not able to beat you!" "You!" The Great Elder's face became blue. At this time, Ye Lang looked coldly at Ye Xuan. "You can go. Twenty days later, I'll see you on the Life and Death Platform." Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders. "Great Elder, it seems your grandson is more reasonable, while you just get more confused with age!" After he said that, he took Ye Ling with him, turned away and left. The Great Elder's face turned purple with anger. He seemed to think of something all of a sudden. He looked at Li Mu and the others, and fumed. "I’ve been keeping you good-for-nothings. You actually saw the elder being beaten without lending a hand. Somebody come, drag them out and flog them to death right on the spot!" When Li Mu and the others heard this, their faces suddenly went pale. At this moment, Ye Xuan who was not far away, stopped immediately. He turned and looked at the Great Elder. "Great Elder, let me kindly remind you that this Li Mu and the others are the Patriarch's bodyguards. Though you are the Great Elder, the Patriarch is not dead yet. You are now punishing his bodyguards, this..." Speaking of this, he pretended to be shocked. "Could it be that the Great Elder, you want to deal with the Patriarch... You..." "How dare you!" The Great Elder growled, "Ye Xuan, if you dare speak one more word, I will kill you today even it means risking my own life!" Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Great Elder, calm down. I am just reminding you. Don't let anger spoil your body. Otherwise, I'll be only too glad, I mean, too sad." After that, he turned away with Ye Ling. Li Mu and the others glanced at Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with gratitude. If it were not for Ye Xuan's words, they would be dead today. The Great Elder's whole body was still shaking, and everyone around him did not dare to speak. Seemingly thinking of something, the Great Elder suddenly looked at Ye Lang. "Why didn't you just start the life and death competition with him? Why did you put it off until 20 days later?" Ye Lang glanced at the Great Elder and said indifferently, "Because I am going to break through to the Qi Harnessing Realm right away!" Hearing these words, the Great Elder was suddenly stunned. The next moment, he asked zealously, "Really?" Ye Lang nodded slightly. "The breakthrough is imminent. Otherwise, I would have killed him just now. It's not a suitable time to start a fight at this moment. I won't affect the breakthrough, which is my priority now, because of this ant-like existence." The Great Elder nodded quickly. "Exactly, exactly, let this Ye Xuan live for a few more days. Anyway, this person is already a waste!" Ye Lang nodded a little. "He is now a desperate dog who tries to jump over the wall. During this period, don't provoke him, lest others may say that I am afraid of him so that I deliberately pick on him, and then I can find an excuse to kill him!" The Great Elder said in a deep voice, "This time, it was my lack of consideration. Trust me, I won't let anyone trouble him in the next 20 days." Ye Lang nodded. "By the way, I may need a large number of Spirit Stones for my cultivation." The Great Elder was somewhat embarrassed. Spirit Stones were a precious gem containing Spiritual Qi. Even the Ye Family didn't have many. Not just that, Spirit Stones could only be used by the Patriarch and the Heir Apparent. But Ye Xuan never used Spirit Stones, which was quite natural, because they kept it from him. "Is there any problem?" Ye Lang asked. The Great Elder shook his head, "No problem, it's just, there might not be many Spirit Stones." Ye Lang smiled and said, "Be at ease, it is just the Qi Harnessing Realm which doesn't need too many Spirit Stones." Hearing him say that, the Great Elder immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That is good!" Ye Lang looked up at the sky, and there was a trace of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth. He whispered in his heart, "A remote and poor place... But it is still okay to take advantage of it for the moment..." ... Ye Xuan took Ye Ling back to his courtyard. Just when they returned, Li Mu and the others hurried here. Ye Xuan took a look at Li Mu and the others. "It's not good for you to come here at this point." Since his Heir Apparent title was deposed, he had barely seen almost all the brothers who had been fighting those bloody battles with him because they knew that the future owner of the Ye Family would not be Ye Xuan, but Ye Lang. Li Mu cupped his hand at Ye Xuan. "Bro Ye, thank you for the previous incident." Ye Xuan nodded slightly. "You didn't make your move, I should thank you instead. Just go back, if the Great Elder's men see you, you will get in a lot of troubles." Li Mu hesitated a little and then said, "Bro Ye, if you need me in the future, please just let me know. We won't decline." After that, he turned away with several guards. Ye Xuan shook his head slightly. Seeing Ye Xuan shake his head, Ye Ling held Ye Xuan's arm and asked gently. "Brother, don't you believe them?" Ye Xuan said with a smile, "If your brother was strong, what they said will be true. But, if I am weak and have no chance to turn the tables, then everything will be false." Ye Ling looked at Ye Xuan and said very earnestly, "I'm for real. I will always stand on my brother's side!" Ye Xuan smiled, and he took Ye Ling and entered his own courtyard. When he entered the courtyard, Ye Ling's body started to tremble fiercely. Not only that, her body also sent out a current of cold draught! Ye Xuan's heart was shocked. He hurriedly took Ye Ling to the bed. Then he took out a white jade bottle, poured out a white Dan Pill and fed it to Ye Ling. After Ye Ling took the Dan Pill, her face looked slightly better. Ye Ling slowly opened her eyes. Her right hand firmly held the hand of Ye Xuan, and she said with a voice as soft as a mosquito. "Brother, I, I feel that I may not live for much longer. If, if I am to die, can you carry my ashes with you? I want to stay with you, you..." "Nonsense!" Ye Xuan suddenly scolded, and he stared at Ye Ling, "You will not die. I will never let you die. Believe in me. I will definitely cure you! When I achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm, I will take you to the Imperial Capital, is that okay?" As he said that, his voice gradually softened. "You are your brother's only family, please stay alive even if it is only for me, okay?" Ye Ling looked at Ye Xuan, and her tears just flowed down. Ye Xuan gently rubbed the tears on Ye Ling's face away. "Don't cry, you won't get pretty if you cry more. You have to get married in the future!” Ye Ling shook her head. "I will not marry anyone. I only like my brother!" Ye Xuan smiled. "A little fool. Come, brother will tell you a story... There used to be a mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain..." After 15 minutes, Ye Ling fell asleep. Looking at Ye Ling in bed, Ye Xuan's face darkened like still water, because Ye Ling's sleeping time became longer and longer. Moreover, there were less than three Dan Pills in his jade bottle! A moment later, Ye Xuan put away the jade bottle. He gently tucked Ye Ling into the quilt, and then he entered the Prison World Tower. Practicing! What Ye Xuan should do now was to crazily upgrade his strength to reach the Qi Harnessing Realm as soon as possible, and then take Ye Ling to the Imperial Capital. In addition, the Ye's Manor had already had an intention to kill him. If he was defeated in the life and death competition on martial arts twenty days after, not only would he die, but his sister Ye Ling would also die. Ye Xuan was looking for that shadow to practice. At this time, the voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded, "You can cultivate the Hidden Realm now." Ye Xuan was shocked. "The Hidden Realm? What is the Hidden Realm?" The mysterious woman said, "The Physical Body Realm is divided into six realms from the first rank to the sixth rank. However, many people do not know that after the sixth Qi Varying Realm, there is one more realm which is the Golden-Body Realm. After that, it is the Innate Qi Harnessing Realm." Ye Xuan's brow was slightly wrinkled. "The Golden-Body Realm? Predecessor, why haven't I heard about it?" The mysterious woman smiled lightly. "I have told you it is the Hidden Realm which means that the ordinary people do not know it at all. If you achieve this Golden-Body Realm, your overall strength will at least be doubled. Will you practice? If you don't practice, you can find the Spiritual Sword in the future and then you can also cross this realm and go directly to the Innate Qi Harnessing Realm." Ye Xuan said with excitement, "Double my strength? Really?" The mysterious woman said, "Really!" Ye Xuan quickly said, "Let's practice, I will practice!" The mysterious woman said, "You already have the Sword Qi in your body. Although you can't flow the Qi out, you can still use it to stimulate the meridians and the five internal organs in your body. You have cultivated your physical body from the outside before, you are now cultivating your physical body from the inside. It is only once you refine your body both internally and externally, can you be fully refined. However, there will be a little bit of pain." Ye Xuan waved his hand and said with exuberance, "A little bit of pain is nothing. I am going to get started." The mysterious woman said, "Okay, it's very simple. It is to move the flow of the Sword Qi and let them automatically spread in all your limbs and bones." Ye Xuan immediately did it as she said. But just when he started, his eyes flew open. "Ah..." At this moment, Ye Xuan felt like he was pricked by tens of thousands of needles inside his body, and he almost fainted. "Predecessor, this is not a little bit of pain!""Is it very painful? I thought it was only a little bit...""Predecessor, don't tell me that no one has cultivated this Hidden Realm before!""A long, long time ago, there was a man who had cultivated it. However, he died instantly at that time. I thought it was for other reasons...""I...""Even though I look at you in such pain, I still can't help you. I can only express my guilt with my smile. Hehehe..." Ye Xuan, "..."

Chapter 6 Chapter 6 A Vision of Heaven and Earth!

"That hurts!""It's deadly pain!" Now Ye Xuan wanted to die for the first time! It used to be only the pain of flesh and blood. But this time, he felt that his internal organs and his meridians were breaking inch by inch. This was the kind of pain that he had never experienced before! "Endure!" Ye Xuan clenched his teeth. He couldn't stop shaking. He really wanted to pass out, but he knew that he couldn't. Once he fainted, he might not wake up again! "If I can't wake up, what will happen to my sister?""She is only twelve years old! Will the people in Ye's Manor treat her kindly?" At this point, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his head and roared. His hands were clenched and his face was full of crazy colors. "Come on, more pain please. Haha, I can stand it... I... That f*cking hurts, please be gentle…" Time passed bit by bit, and he didn't know how long it took. Ye Xuan suddenly collapsed there like a pool of slime. After falling to the ground, his body began to twitch. It looked like he had epilepsy. His convulsions lasted for about a quarter of an hour. When the convulsions stopped, his whole body was soaking wet with sweat! Ye Xuan lay on the ground. At this moment, he had no strength to move a bit! At this time, outside the Prison World Tower, countless clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above Ye's Manor. Soon, and it began to rain over the Manor. But above the other places was a clear and sunny sky. Besides that, in the sky above Ye's Manor, a rainbow quietly condensed and appeared. As the first rainbow emerged, the second one followed. Just as the third rainbow was to show up, the Prison World Tower in Ye Xuan suddenly quivered slightly, and the third rainbow quietly vanished. A vision of heaven and earth! Everyone in Qing City was stirred! There were some geniuses in the world between heaven and earth. When they broke through or hit by an epiphany, they would attract the vision of heaven and earth. But this scene generally belonged to legends. Now, the scene appeared in Qing City. At this very moment, all the eyes in the entire Qing City were focused on the sky above Ye's Manor. In Ye's Manor, the Great Elder came to the courtyard with the elders and clansmen, and then they slowly knelt down. The Great Elder bowed respectfully to the sky and excitedly said, "Thank the gods for watching over the Ye Family and Ye Lang!" Numerous Ye Family members knelt down and bowed one after another! At this moment, the entire Ye's Manor rejoiced! In the Chatelain's Manor. An old man looked at the vision of heaven and earth above the Ye's Manor, and his face was quite ugly. "What a great Ye Lang! He actually attracted the vision of heaven and earth... Somebody, call the lords of the Zhang Family and the Li Family to my place for a chat." In Qing City, countless spirit carrier pigeons suddenly flew up and then flew in all directions. This scene was extremely spectacular! It was not a secret that the Ye Family had gotten a chosen one. Although a chosen one was hard to get, a super talent who could attract a vision of heaven and earth was even more rare. Everyone in Qing City knew that the Ye Family was going to rise! This rise was not just in Qing City, but in the whole Jiang Country, or even in the entire Qing Continent. At this moment, all the people in Ye's Manor were almost boiling with excitement. Moreover, the Ye Family was so generous that he rewarded everybody in Ye's Manor with an additional month's allowance. Not only that, he also went around the Patriarch and directly conferred the young patriarch title to Ye Lang. The young patriarch title was different from the Heir Apparent. The Heir Apparent was only an heir who represented the younger generation of Ye's Manor. Meanwhile, the young patriarch meant that he was already the second in charge in Ye's Manor. Although the Great Elder had acted beyond his authority, he didn't care it at all, because the current Ye Lang would certainly be an exceptional talent in the future. What could the Patriarch do if he were here? In the future, the whole of Ye's Manor would rely on Ye Lang! In the courtyard, Ye Lang looked up at the vision in the sky, his brows wrinkled tightly. He did break through! He broke through from the sixth Qi Varying Realm to the Qi Harnessing Realm! However, his breakthrough was two hours ago, but this vision of heaven and earth appeared just now! Therefore, he was not very sure whether this vision of heaven and earth was caused by him or not! A moment later, Ye Lang smiled coldly. "If it weren't for me, who else could have this ability to attract this vision of heaven and earth? It seems that in this life, I surely will occupy a seat on the super talent's list!" After he said that, he turned away. The Prison World Tower. Ye Xuan lay on the ground and didn't know how long it took. At this time, the voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded in the room. "Get up and look at your body!" Ye Xuan slowly picked himself up and looked at his body. This made him freeze all of a sudden, because now his skin actually had a faint golden luster! "This?" Ye Xuan looked around in confusion. The mysterious woman said, "The Golden-Body Realm means cultivating the physical body to a golden one. The physical body is the root, thus, the Physical Body Realm is to lay the foundation. Whether the foundation is well laid or not can decide how far you can go in the future. Ordinary people only practice to cultivate the outside but they have ignored the inside. As a matter of fact, the inside is of utmost importance. Only when your muscles, bones, and internal organs are tough can you withstand destructive forces from the outside. Although you have suffered inhuman suffering at present, you will reap great benefits in the future. Not just in the future, you have already got enough benefits now." Ye Xuan took a deep breath and gripped his hands slowly. This moment, he felt that there was a turbulent force surging forward in his whole body! Feeling this, Ye Xuan was in a divine ecstasy. As the mysterious woman said, his strength at this moment was at least twice as strong as before! But not only that, the rigidity of his current physical body was not comparable to his previous one. It could be said that he was under no pressure if he was going to fight one-on-one with strong people, for example, with the Great Elder who was in the Qi Harnessing Realm but lived a comfortable life. Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Xuan hastily asked, "Predecessor, my sister is suffering from typhoid fever, can you help?" The mysterious woman was silent for a while and then asked, "Is that the little girl?" Ye Xuan quickly nodded. The mysterious woman said, "Of course, I have a solution, but she can't get into this tower.""Why?" Ye Xuan was puzzled. The mysterious woman said, "This spirit of this tower has fallen into a deep sleep. Although it has already recognized you as the master, you don't have even one Rule for the Tao. So you can't bring people here. If you force your way into this tower with someone, it will exterminate the unrecognized person instinctively." Hearing this, Ye Xuan's face suddenly sank. "It looks like I can only take my sister to see doctors in the imperial capital." Now, he had a tough nut to crack, that was, if he wanted to achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm, he must find a Spiritual Sword to swallow. However, Spiritual Swords were so precious that there was probably not a single Spiritual Sword in the whole Qing City, not to mention the Ye Family! Only in Jiang Country's most prosperous place like the imperial capital could there possibly be a Spiritual Sword! "The imperial capital!" Ye Xuan murmured, "It seems that this imperial capital is a must." After practicing swordsmanship for a while, Ye Xuan left the Prison World Tower. After Ye Xuan had left, abruptly, there appeared a whisper in the field. "That little girl... is a little weird..." ... Ye Xuan returned to the room. At this moment, Ye Ling walked in. This little girl was a little unhappy. Ye Xuan smiled. "What up?" Ye Ling went to the front of Ye Xuan and whispered, "Brother, that Ye Lang has attracted a vision of heaven and earth. All the people in the whole clan were cheering for that. Moreover, Ye Lang has been appointed by the Great Elder as the young patriarch. Later on, he will become the Patriarch of our Ye Family.""A vision of Heaven and Earth!" Ye Xuan frowned a little. He also heard that it was said that there were some supreme talents who could draw the vision of heaven and earth when they broke through. However, this was only a legend anyway. There were no such super talents in Qing City! But it never occurred to him that this Ye Lang would actually attract the vision of heaven and earth! This meant that Ye Lang was really a super talent! At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly snorted, "Vision of heaven and earth? Whatever. In any case, my brother is the most powerful one." Ye Xuan smiled gently. "Don't you worry. There are ten more days left to the life and death competition with him. After that, we will leave Ye's Manor.""Leave Ye's Manor?" Ye Ling was startled a little and then asked, "Then… will we be coming back here?""Will we be back?" Ye Xuan was speechless. He and his sister Ye Ling grew up here, and they really regarded this place as their home. However, after this incident, he found that he and his sister had no place at all in the hearts of the elders of the Ye Family. If it weren't for him being of use, he and his sister would have died long ago. And now, when the Ye Family had a better person than him, they abandoned him immediately... He used to think that if someday he were sacrificed, the Ye Family would definitely treat Ye Ling well, for he had contributed to the Ye Family at the risk of his life. But now it seemed that if he died, his sister would perhaps meet a miserable fate! Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled. He rubbed Ye Ling's little head and asked her, "Do you like it here?" Ye Ling shook her head, "I used to like it because I have you here, but I don't like it now. The family is too unfair to you. You have devoted so much to the family, but they treat you like this. The Great Elder and others are really too unfair! There are also those elders in the clan who have never spoken a word for you. They… They are too bad." Ye Xuan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, it is a big world, as long as we are together, anywhere can be our home!" Ye Ling smiled sweetly, then hugged Ye Xuan tightly. "As long as I am with you, I can go anywhere!" Ye Xuan laughed aloud. After playing with Ye Ling for a while, Ye Xuan returned to the Prison World Tower. Practicing! There were still ten days to the life and death competition with Ye Lang. He naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, especially since Ye Lang had attracted the legendary vision of heaven and earth! Ye Xuan spread his right hand, and in his palm, the silver sword quietly appeared. Looking at the sword in his hand, Ye Lang was a little excited. "Predecessor, I am now kind of a Sword God, right?""A Sword God?" The mysterious woman snorted coldly, "You are miles away from that!" Ye Xuan was stunned a bit, puzzled. "Why?" The mysterious woman said, "Only one who has comprehended the meaning of the sword and grasped 'the truth' in the Tao of the Sword can be called a Sword God. You can't call yourself a Sword God now. You can't even be regarded as a Sword Lord. You are barely a Sword Cultivator!” Ye Xuan blushed with shame! The mysterious woman said again, "What you have to do now is to become a qualified Sword Cultivator. Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you. There are a lot of Sword Cultivators in the world, but there are very few Sword Gods. Just having ten sword gods in your world is already quite a lot. As for the reason, you will know it later. I can only tell you that it's difficult to follow the Tao of the Sword.” Ye Xuan nodded. "No matter how difficult it is, I will go on like hell!" After this incident of the Ye Family, he found that it was absolutely impossible to count on the Ye Family to take care of his sister! He must take care of his sister himself. But to do this, he had no choice but to strive to become strong, stronger than he was now! Because this world was very realistic. If you had no value, no one would treat you seriously! Ye Xuan retracted his thoughts and asked in a deep voice, "Predecessor, how can I become a qualified Sword Cultivator?" The mysterious woman said, "Cut hair with a single sword strike!" Ye Xuan startled a bit. "Isn't that very simple?" The mysterious woman sneered, "You give it a shot!" Ye Xuan pulled out a single hair from his head and then slashed his sword to cut it. When his sword fell on it, the hair shattered! Ye Xuan was struck dumb, the hair was shattered but not cut! At this time, the voice of the mysterious woman suddenly sounded. "You already have the strength, and you should also learn to control it. What's more, you also have to learn the angle, speed, and application of all aspects in sword striking, even wind speed should be factored in. By my estimate, you may need to cut tens of thousands of hairs before you can grasp the essence." Ye Xuan took a deep breath. "I have enough hair!" With this, Ye Xuan began to cut his hair crazily! Outside the Prison World Tower, the entire of Ye's Manor was decorated with lanterns and colored hangings. They had invited almost all the prominent people in Qing City. Not only that, the clansmen in Ye's Manor often considered themselves as one of the first families in Qing City! The current Ye Family could be said to be very influential, like the sun at high noon. Even the Chatelain's Manor, the Li Family, and the Zhang Family had to celebrate obediently... In the Ye Family's Meeting Hall, sitting in a chair, the Great Elder's eyes were slightly closed, and it was unknown what he was waiting for. At this time, an old man came in. "Great Elder, the Chatelain, and the lords of the Li Family and the Zhang Family have come." The Great Elder opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Ye Yu, go tell them that I am resting. I can't meet guests for now, I will see them in an hour." Ye Yu somewhat hesitated. "The Great Elder, this..." The Great Elder slowly closed his eyes. "Now, it's time to let them know who is the master of this Qing City." ...
