In the depths of the inner courtyard, Ye Xingchen stood quietly, seemingly unaffected by the tumultuous changes in the outside world. He understood well that in this world where strength reigned supreme, power was fundamental. If the Ye Family Ancestor could not withstand the impending storm, then he would have to take matters into his own hands. On the battlefield, he would be unstoppable, like a force that could crush everything in its path.
As he pondered, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind—a voice from the System, solemn and sacred: "Congratulations, host. You have accepted Ye Ling, daughter of Heavenly Mandate, as your disciple. As a special reward, you receive the unranked technique 'Holy Light Eye Technique' and the Imperial Destiny Sword."
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen felt a surge of emotions. The 'Holy Light Eye Technique'? It sounded like an extraordinary skill that could unleash astonishing power as one's cultivation level increased. With a single glance, it could annihilate all things; with another glance, it could bring everything back to life. Such divine abilities were truly awe-inspiring.
The Destiny Sword was even more legendary. It recognized only those with the Fate Divine Body as its master. Once drawn, it could alter the very fabric of reality and command the destinies of all beings.
Holding the Destiny Sword in his hand, Ye Xingchen felt its immense power coursing through him, and he couldn't help but marvel at it. He realized that this technique was yet another sign of the System's special favor towards Ye Ling. Born with dual pupils and innate mysterious powers, if she were to cultivate this eye technique further, her potential would be nearly limitless—she might even reach an invincible realm.
The System's nature seemed increasingly enigmatic, making Ye Xingchen feel as though he were merely a pawn in someone else's game, working for the System.
He shook off these thoughts and quickly took out the precious Imperial Realm summoning card. In this perilous world, having an extra layer of strength was essential for his safety. He needed to ensure he could respond to any unexpected situations at any moment.
Ding! "Congratulations, host. You have summoned Dugu Yue of high cultivation level."
Dugu Yue appeared before him clad in simple white robes, her demeanor as cool as the moonlight. She possessed a rare Pure Moon Spirit constitution that seemed to resonate with the moon's glow.
Her cultivation technique was known as the Bright Moon Spear Technique; every move she made contained the essence of the moon and wielded incredible power. The weapon in her hand was none other than the Heavenly Stage Bright Moon Spear—its spear shaft gleamed like jade and radiated a faint lunar light, clearly a rare treasure.
Ye Xingchen looked at Dugu Yue before him and nodded inwardly. Huang Liu's strength was sufficient to handle most emergencies. With her by his side, the safety of the Ye Family Ancestor was undoubtedly reinforced.
He then prepared to take the Breaking Sacred Pill to break through to the Holy Realm. Once he advanced to the Saint Realm, a thunderous tribulation would descend upon him—the roar would shake heaven and earth. If he were to undergo this process now, it would surely disturb his clan members and cause unnecessary panic.
Thus, he ventured alone into a secluded valley to seek a place for his breakthrough. Surrounded by mountains and enveloped in mist, this remote area was indeed ideal for such an endeavor.
Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged and closed his eyes in concentration as he slowly consumed the Breaking Sacred Pill. He felt an overwhelming surge of power within him that seemed ready to tear him apart.
The affairs of the Ye Family Ancestor were managed entirely by Ye Wenhui. This son was steady and capable enough to maintain order amidst chaos. Moreover, with Dugu Yue stationed at the Ye Family Ancestor's side, even if Ancestor Ye from Qi State were to come personally, he would surely return defeated.
Dugu Yue possessed unfathomable cultivation; her presence served as an invisible deterrent against any enemies daring to covet the Ye Family Ancestor. Ye Xingchen knew well that with her around, there was no cause for concern regarding their safety.
As time slipped away like fine sand through fingers, troops under Ye Family Ancestor surged forth like a torrent. Two Grand Elders at King-level eight realms personally led their forces into battle; their figures appeared particularly solemn beneath the banners of war.
