After finishing breakfast, Ye Feng and Ye Chen, led by Ye Honglin, headed directly to the Head of the Ye Family manor.
Along the way, many busy Ye Family Disciples paused their work to greet them. Following the battle against the Ning Family, Ye Feng's reputation and status within the family had greatly increased, even surpassing that of the old patriarch Ye Zhentian in the eyes of some younger members.
Ye Feng smiled and greeted each of them, while his younger brother Ye Chen felt an immense pride in Ye Feng's achievements.
In contrast, Ye Feng's father, Ye Honglin, no longer displayed joy on his face; instead, he appeared somewhat worried.
"Once you enter the Heritage Site, regardless of whether you obtain the Heritage Jade's inheritance or not, do not push yourself too hard. Our Ye Family has already lost too many disciples who paid a heavy price in pursuit of the inheritance within the Heritage Jade!"
"Dad?" Ye Feng asked in surprise. "It's just the family's Heritage Jade. Could there really be any danger?"
"There's no real danger!" Ye Honglin said with a somewhat dazed expression. "However, those who gain the family's recognition and get the opportunity to approach the Heritage Jade are usually exceptionally talented individuals from our Ye Family. Yet, they often share a significant flaw: an overly strong personality. They may not be recognized by the Heritage Jade but become obsessed due to their unwillingness to accept defeat, leading to a severe loss of confidence or even going astray!"
Ye Feng was taken aback; his father's words resonated deeply with him.
The current Ye Family had already caught the attention of the Imperial Family of the Capital. As the strongest member of the entire Ye Family, he naturally bore immense pressure. Therefore, he felt it was imperative to obtain the Heritage Jade this time and was absolutely confident in doing so.
If what his father said was true and he could not gain recognition from the Heritage Jade, then the outcome would indeed be uncertain.
"Thank you for your reminder, Father. If Feng Er truly cannot gain recognition from the Heritage Jade, I won't be overly fixated on it!" Ye Feng nodded and said firmly.
"The secret of the Heritage Jade has been maintained for a thousand years. If you truly cannot gain recognition, don't take it too much to heart!" Ye Honglin sighed, seemingly lacking much hope for Ye Feng.
Ye Feng did not say much more. The three of them wore serious expressions as their pace quickened until they soon arrived at the Head of the Family Manor.
Ye Zhentian had been waiting at the Head of the Family Manor for some time, along with several uncles and relatives including Fourth Uncle. As soon as Ye Feng appeared, various compliments began to pour in.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with his father, Ye Feng was led by Ye Zhentian directly to the family's Heritage Site.
The Heritage Site was located underground beneath the family estate, known only to Ye Zhentian and Ye Honglin, who had previously entered. The entrance to the Heritage Site was notably in the study on the Ground floor of the Head of the Family Manor.
After dismissing everyone else, Ye Zhentian took Ye Feng into the study and seriously reiterated similar words he had shared with Ye Honglin, repeatedly advising Ye Feng not to force anything.
Ye Feng naturally nodded earnestly in agreement.
"The secret of the Heritage Jade is the greatest reliance of our Ye Family. While outsiders know a little about it, no one truly understands what it is. Currently, only your father and I have entered the Heritage Site!" Ye Zhentian sighed and suddenly pulled out a strangely shaped jade pendant from his pocket.
"This is the key to enter the Heritage Site. Only the Generations head of the family is qualified to keep it. After I help you open the entrance, everything else will depend on you!"
Ye Zhentian pulled back the green carpet laid on the study's Ground, revealing a noticeable indentation on the gray Ground below, which caught Ye Feng's attention. The size and shape of the indentation perfectly matched the jade pendant in Ye Zhentian's hand.
Once the pendant was placed into the indentation, a slight tremor occurred on the Ground, followed by an opening of a hole.
At Ye Zhentian's gesture, Ye Feng stepped onto the stairs leading into the hole. The space inside was not large, and with oil lamps lighting up the walls, Ye Feng easily reached the Ground of the Heritage Site.
"Remember, you only have three days. Regardless of the outcome, I will bring you back up after three days!"
A faint sound came from above as Ye Zhentian, seeing that he had entered safely, gave one last instruction before closing off the entrance.
"What secrets does the Heritage Jade hold? It's truly something to look forward to. Unfortunately, I only have three days; I wonder if that will be enough!" As Ye Feng pondered this, he quickly moved forward.
The Heritage Site of the Ye Family was merely a narrow corridor underground. At the end of the corridor, Ye Feng could vaguely see a piece of jade glowing with a green light.
After using the spiritual sense of a cultivator to scan the area, Ye Feng found no danger and quickly walked up to the Heritage Jade.
The Heritage Jade was an uncarved piece of raw jade, about the height of a person. Under the light of the oil lamp, one could vaguely see many strange inscriptions carved on its surface.
Since the existence of the Heritage Jade, the Ye Family had not passed down any methods to unlock it. Each Ye Family disciple entering the Heritage Site had to rely on their own methods to explore ways to communicate with the jade. Over the past thousand years, many from the Ye Family had indeed gained some benefits from the Heritage Jade, but these were either a simple Supreme Technique or Martial Technique, or merely a bestowal of some Vital Energy.
"Feng Er, if Grandpa's guess is correct, the energy sustaining the Heritage Jade should be running low. The reason we strictly limit the number of times our clan members can comprehend the Heritage Jade is also due to this!"
Before him, although there was a faint green light seeping out from the Heritage Jade, its brightness appeared extremely dim. It seemed that before long, the energy within would be completely exhausted, and at that time, this piece of Heritage Jade would become an ordinary stone.
"But how exactly should I comprehend the Heritage Jade? I have no idea; do I really have to try touching it?" Ye Feng pondered for a moment but remained perplexed. He could only attempt to place his palm against the surface of the jade.
The moment he touched it, he felt a warm sensation. Ye Feng closed his eyes and meditated for a moment but found that nothing happened.
"Could it be that I am fated to have no connection with this Heritage Jade?" Ye Feng shook his head in disappointment.
Just as he was feeling somewhat lost, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind—Xuan Lao's voice.
"Ah, I didn't expect to see such a little thing in a place like this. However, the craftsmanship is rather rough!"
Ye Feng's heart jolted, and he quickly asked, "Xuan Lao, do you recognize the Heritage Jade?"
"Heritage Jade?" Xuan Lao replied with uncertainty. "If we talk about its function, then its name is quite fitting. Where did you get this thing?"
"This is our Ye Family's ancestral Heritage Jade; it was not obtained by me!" Ye Feng chuckled bitterly. It seemed that Xuan Lao had either been in deep slumber or for some other reason had not noticed his movements.
"Is this something passed down from your family?" Xuan Lao said, somewhat surprised. "That means you're quite lucky. However, it's surprising that a small family like the Ye Family possesses such a treasure. I underestimated your Ye Family!"
"Xuan Lao, do you recall any prominent family with the surname Ye?" A thought suddenly flashed through Ye Feng's mind.
"The Ye Family? Over ten thousand years ago? There were indeed many experts with the surname Ye in the place where I was," Xuan Lao replied thoughtfully. "At that time, there were several major forces with the surname Ye!"
"Over ten thousand years ago!" Ye Feng shook his head. The migration of the Ye Family occurred over a thousand years ago, which was too far off from the timeframe Xuan Lao mentioned.
"Kid, why are you still dawdling? You have such a large treasure right in front of you, and you're not going to use it?" Xuan Lao said impatiently.
"Treasures? Xuan Lao, I don't understand how to activate it, nor do I know how to comprehend this Heritage Jade!" Ye Feng waved his hand helplessly.
"Comprehend?" Xuan Lao said with a strange tone. "You don't need to comprehend anything. Just use your Soul Thought to enter it directly!"
The Soul Thought that Xuan Lao referred to was what he believed to be a special ability possessed only by Divine Warriors. The Divine Soul Power of a Divine Warrior far exceeds that of ordinary martial artists. He had previously mistaken Ye Feng for a Divine Warrior, which is why he made that statement.
"Soul Thought?" Ye Feng's heart stirred as he quickly understood what Xuan Lao meant.
"Although I'm not sure what Soul Thought refers to, it seems somewhat similar to the Soul Thought of cultivators. However, I currently only have the cultivation level of Refining Qi Second Layer. While my Soul Thought surpasses that of people in this world, it is still somewhat fragile, so it's better to be cautious!"
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng sat down and began to attempt to mobilize the Soul Thought in his mind.
As a cultivator, the usefulness of Soul Thought goes without saying. Previously, he could sense other people's cultivation levels and explore his surroundings thanks to the help of Soul Thought.
However, whether sensing cultivation levels or exploring environments, Ye Feng only needed to use part of his Soul Thought. This time, facing the Heritage Jade, he had to let all of his Soul Thought enter the jade stone.
Under the full effort of Ye Feng, a silver mist emerged from above, and with a flash, it entered the jade stone.
Inside the jade stone was a square enclosed space. In the center of this space was another piece of jade that looked identical to the one outside, but the inscriptions on it were more intricate. Ye Feng could faintly sense a hint of danger emanating from it.
"Do not approach the jade in the center; your Soul Thought is not strong enough yet. If you rashly intrude, you might end up losing your soul!" Xuan Lao's voice echoed again, causing Ye Feng, who was about to move closer to the mysterious jade, to halt in time.
He quickly shifted his attention to the four jade walls within the space. The walls were engraved with numerous characters, and what he read left him astonished!
"Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique?" Ye Feng gazed at the five large characters at the top of the jade wall, feeling an uncontrollable excitement rise within him.
"The Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique encompasses the cultivation methods for seven types of Vital Energy in the world: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, and Wind!"
"Previously, as an Outer Sect Disciple, I practiced the most basic Supreme Technique of the Dragon Tiger Sect, which did not differentiate between attributes. The Vital Energy in Essence Pills was also a mix of seven attributes, so its power was greatly diminished. If I can refine my Vital Energy into Thunder attribute, then combining it with Thunder attribute Martial Techniques would at least double my power!"
Upon seeing this simple introduction to the Supreme Technique, Ye Feng was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
"Generally speaking, one can only begin refining their Vital Energy once they reach the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level. Now that I am exactly at that level, I originally planned to find a time to return to Dragon Tiger Sect to exchange Contribution Points for a Thunder attribute Supreme Technique. But now it seems unnecessary; this Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique already encompasses all seven attributes of Supreme Techniques. As long as I learn this Supreme Technique, I can unleash my strongest power with any attribute Martial Technique!"
