1020 - Cultivation Technique

“What are the few of you fighting over?” Very quickly, Ye Qingtang looked at the youths and asked.

“Uh… Yang Lord, we originally have some enmity… We never thought that we would meet in the Ye Family… So…”

Ye Qingtang could guess such matters without explanation.

“You all are Ye Family disciples now. A family clan is different from a sect. Since you all have taken the surname Ye, all of you are family from now on. No one is to mention past enmities.” Ye Qingtang looked at the youths and said.

Now that the Yang Lord of the Ye Family spoke, those youths naturally did not dare to continue fighting. They nodded their heads in the promise that such incidents would not happen again.

“Yes. As you said, we will definitely not fight with our family from now on!” The youths said eagerly.

After Ye Qingtang interfered in the matter, there were indeed no more conflicts among the Ye Family disciples while those with enmity from before buried the hatchet and no longer fought.

As Ye Qingtang had said, since they had already changed to take the surname Ye and became a Ye Family disciple, they were all family. Unlike the heartless and apathetic environment of sects, the brotherhood and family spirit of a family clan were apparent, especially in the Ye Family: while some of the senior members’ skills were insufficient, they were rich with humanity. To the younger generation who were already used to the struggle in sects, such kindness was hard to come by.

Over the past few days, Ye Qingtang rebuilt a Treasure Pavilion and Martial Skills Pavilion, of which mostly housed Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques, in the Ye Family. There were countless of such cultivation techniques in Ye Qingtang’s memory.

At Ye Qingtang’s peak, she was a Holy Venerate, and she could casually retrieve many Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques from her memory. If the Ye Family needed, Ye Qingtang could also produce the highest-leveled skills that only Holy Venerates could cultivate.

However, one had to reach the respective martial realm to cultivate remarkable martial skills. For Yin Yang Perfected Lord martial skills, one had to at least be at the Martial Qi Level Three realm, and it was a pure dream if a Connate cultivator wished to cultivate a Yin Yang Perfected Lord martial skill. If a Connate cultivator forcefully cultivated too many martial skills that were beyond their martial realm, they would only produce mental demons, and their body would explode on its own after a long time. It was extremely dangerous.

Apart from wanting the new Ye Family disciples to cultivate vigorously and diligently, Ye Qingtang placed many Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques in the Martial Skills Pavilion in hope that those disciples would have a sense of belonging to the Ye Family as soon as possible.

Naturally, the Ye Family disciples had to pay a certain price to obtain the Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques. For example, they had to accomplish different missions and obtain the Ye Family honor points. Only after earning sufficient points and obtaining the recognition of the elders would one have the qualifications to enter the Martial Skills Pavilion and exchange the honor points for suitable cultivation techniques to cultivate.

This did not just apply to the main headquarters of the Ye Family, and all the other three branches had the exact same rule.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang was in the study room. Shutting her eyes, she was in deep thought as she searched for the cultivation techniques from her memory.

Her current martial realm was completely unable to keep up with the remarkable martial skills she cultivated in the past.

1021 - Yunxiao Sect Elder

Awhile later, Ye Qingtang suddenly opened her eyes. She arrived at the mountain behind the Ye residence in a moment.

Swoosh!

With a piercing sound, Ye Qingtang’s body duplicated from one to two and from two to four.

Several ladies with the same appearance as Ye Qingtang looked at each other without uttering a word.

Subsequently, Ye Qingtang activated her divine sense, and the incarnations immediately engaged in a battle. Fifteen minutes later, they faded away and vanished without a trace.

“It’s still a little insufficient…”

Ye Qingtang mumbled.

Ye Qingtang was currently executing an extremely special martial skill. Apart from requiring the cultivator to own a significantly high martial realm, the true Incarnation Technique was even more demanding on the cultivator’s mental level, where one could barely control and cultivate the skill only when they possessed the mental energy level of a Heavenly Venerate. Otherwise, when one’s mental energy was insufficient, they would be instantly devoured by the incarnation, which was an extremely scary situation.

However, Ye Qingtang lived two lifetimes, and her mental energy was immensely powerful; even an ordinary Holy Venerate would lose out to her in a competition of mental energy level.

When cultivated to the finest, the Incarnation Technique would allow the incarnations to share the same sight as the original body. If the Venerate’s mental energy was powerful enough, they could even give the incarnation a certain amount of analytical ability and instincts.

For Ye Qingtang, if it was said that her current level was sufficient, it was because her mental energy was extremely powerful and enough to master the Incarnation Technique. Yet, in another light, her current level was insufficient because she was only a Yang Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm.

Ultimately, she could only barely execute the Incarnation Technique. According to her observation, the incarnations at most possessed the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven, which was neither powerful nor weak. However, given her current level, the cultivated Incarnation Technique was enough. Ye Qingtang believed that in no time, she could raise her Incarnation Technique to the peak and allow each incarnation to possess the same martial realm as herself.

As for palm skill and swordplay, Ye Qingtang had already chosen techniques and re-cultivated them. Cultivating these again were much simpler in comparison to the Incarnation Technique.

At the same time, a few kilometers outside Lin Town.

Two emotionless elderlies in white shirts headed in the direction of Lin Town.

A totem of Yunxiao Sect was embroidered on the clothes of these two elderlies, symbolizing that they were Yunxiao Sect elders.

Back when Ye Qingtang obtained the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hundred Level Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm, Yunxiao Sect burned with rage and immediately deployed its elders to lay low around the Ye Family of Lin Town. In order to not alert anyone, they did not strike at the Ye Family and merely waited for Ye Qingtang to return back to Lin Town and the Ye Family.

If Ye Qingtang returned to the Ye Family, the two elders would attack immediately and capture Ye Qingtang back to YunXiao Sect.

Nonetheless, sometime before, Beiming Manor, the strongest force in Formidable Heavens Dynasty, convened all the super sects in Formidable Heavens Dynasty, and all senior members of these super sects were required to attend. As Yunxiao Sect elders, the two elderlies in white were unable to avoid it and thus could only leave Lin Town temporarily and return to YunXiao Sect, where they headed to Beiming Manor together with other Yunxiao Sect senior members.

Today, the two elders just left Beiming Manor and rushed back to Lin Town immediately without any delay.

Although there was once news that Ye Qingtang seemed to have appeared in Nine Nights Dynasty, the Ye Family of Lin Town was ultimately her roots. Her father and family were all here, and the two Yunxiao Sect elders did not believe that Ye Qingtang would not return to visit her loved ones.

1022 - To the Doorstep

The moment the two Yunxiao Sect elders entered Lin Town, their expressions changed slightly, and they were rather surprised.

For some reason, the Long Family, which had been a tyrant in Lin Town over the past two years, disappeared without a trace as though it simply evaporated into thin air.

Nonetheless, whatever that happened to the Long Family naturally had nothing to do with the two YunXiao Sect elders, and they merely found it strange.

“Elder Yin, look at that person!”

One of the elderlies frowned slightly as he pointed at the lady who was walking toward the Si Residence.

Immediately, the elderly who was called Elder Yin turned around and sized up that lady.

“Elder Gu, take out the portrait of Ye Qingtang,” Elder Yin said hurriedly.

Elder Gu took out the portrait. After unrolling the portrait, the person on it was none other than Ye Qingtang.

Once the two Yunxiao Sect elders confirmed that it was Ye Qingtang, they scoffed automatically.

They had been waiting in Lin Town for such a long time, and their target Ye Qingtang finally appeared.

“Sect Master is truly wise. He knew that Ye Qingtang would definitely return to Lin Town and ordered us to hide here and wait. Now, we have finally found her.” Elder Gu mumbled as he kept the portrait.

The two Yunxiao Sect elders did not see wrong; that lady was indeed Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang had just left the Ye Family when the two Yunxiao Sect elders, who were just returning to Lin Town, discovered her. Currently, Ye Qingtang was walking toward the Si Residence.

“Elder Gu, do you think we should strike now or wait a while?” Elder Yin asked when he saw that Ye Qingtang entered the Si Residence.

Elder Gu pondered for a moment and eventually answered. “Let’s wait first. The Fiendcelestial Beast is not following beside Ye Qingtang… If we act rashly and alert her now, our plan may backfire.”

The two people decided to wait for Ye Qingtang to leave the Si Residence and then strike at the Ye Residence.

Other than fearing that it would alert Ye Qingtang, capturing and forcing an answer out of her in the Si Residence might cause rumors to spread around. As such, they might as well attack her in the Ye Residence.

Just like that, the two YunXiao Sect elders waited outside the door of the Si Residence for at least four hours. Only at noon did Ye Qingtang step out of the residence slowly.

“It’s really strange…”

Elder Gu’s brows furrowed slightly. “According to logic, if such a nobody obtained a Fiendcelestial Beast, she would definitely keep it by her side all the time… But there is no sight of the Fiendcelestial Beast around her…”

Elder Yin responded. “Perhaps that lady left the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Ye Residence. There’s no hurry. We can take action once this lady returns to the Ye Residence. Are you afraid that we can’t find that Fiendcelestial Beast?”

Just a few steps after leaving the Si Residence, Ye Qingtang took a look behind discreetly.

While those two Yunxiao Sect elders concealed themselves very well, they were unable to escape Ye Qingtang’s eyes.

“Yunxiao Sect…”

Ye Qingtang mumbled in thought.

Unexpectedly, Yunxiao Sect still remembered her even after such a long time.

After returning to Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Ye Qingtang had not even found the time to settle scores with Yunxiao Sect, but they came to her doorstep instead. How really considerate…

Ye Qingtang remained placid and simply did not care about those two Yunxiao Sect elders. She continued to head back to the Ye Residence.

In the dark, the two Yunxiao Sect elders saw that Ye Qingtang was returning to the Ye Residence and thus immediately headed in its direction.

1023 - The Funniest Joke

Ye Qingtang was not at all surprised to see people from the Yunxiao Sect appear in Lin Town. In fact, she seemed to think it was perfectly natural.

The Yunxiao Sect had been aware that she had obtained a Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka. They would certainly not let it slide and would send senior members of the sect to Lin Town to stake out the Ye House and wait for her to appear.

Little white tiger had been sleeping for nearly half a month. It had awakened once during this period to tell Ye Qingtang that its body was undergoing a transformation and would need a lot of sleep.

Ye Qingtang had already ordered a room to be cleared out in the Ye House for the little white tiger. She had placed the little white tiger in the room and asked the lightning dragon to guard it.

Now, the YunXiao Sect was unaware that it was courting disaster and was still thinking of snatching Ye Qingtang’s Fiendcelestial Beast…

After she returned to the Ye House, Ye Qingtang retreated to the study without making an appearance.

At that moment, the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect arrived in the vicinity of the Ye House. After studying it for a moment, they realized that the Ye House seemed rather different.

The Ye Family had previously been an ordinary clan in Lin Town. But now, it looked incredibly imposing, and the residence seemed to have expanded greatly.

“Who are you!”

Before the two elders from the YunXiao Sect could enter the Ye House, they were blocked by several Ye Family disciples who were guarding the door.

“This is the territory of the Ye Family. Miscellaneous people cannot approach!” One of the talented youths who had just joined the Ye Family shouted coldly.

“Get lost.” Elder Gu from the Yunxiao Sect looked at the Ye Family disciple who had spoken and spoke calmly.

When he heard Elder Gu’s words, the Ye Family disciple’s expression immediately darkened. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

“Ah… he’s quite a braggart.”

Another young girl’s gaze fell on Elder Gu of the Yunxiao Sect.

“I asked you if Ye Qingtang has returned.” Elder Yin spoke at that moment.

“Oh, you know our family’s Eldest Young Lady?”

When they heard Elder Yin mention Ye Qingtang’s name, the Ye Family disciples were slightly taken aback. If these were the Eldest Young Lady’s friends, then they were in trouble. But they could not be blamed because these two men had not made themselves clear upon arrival.

“Answer my question.” Elder Yin was rather impatient.

“Eldest Young Lady is indeed at home,” one of the Ye Family disciples said.

“Very good. Has Ye Qingtang brought a little white tiger back, and is that little white tiger in the Ye Family residence?” Elder Yin continued.

When they heard the elderly man’s tone, the Ye Family disciples felt that something was amiss. If these two men were Eldest Young Lady’s friends, why would they speak so condescendingly?

One of them realized that the totem unique to the Yunxiao Sect was embroidered on these two elderly men’s robes and belongings, and they seemed to be senior members of a super sect.

“We are elders of the Yunxiao Sect. Ye Qingtang has committed atrocious crimes and will be judged by the sect. If you want to live, you better not play any tricks. Tell us the truth,” Elder Gu said coldly.

“Eldest Young Lady is going to be judged by the sect?”

When they heard Elder Yin’s words, the newly minted Ye Family disciples exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

This was the funniest joke they had heard in their lives! Even they had no regard for the little Yunxiao Sect. Now, it was wildly asserting that it would judge an invincible Yang Lord, a peak Seventh Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord?! Even the Beiming Manor would not dare to be so arrogant, much less the Yunxiao Sect with its power as a super sect!

_______________________________________________________________________________________

1024 - Playing Tricks

The Beiming Manor was one of the three most powerful forces in this mainland. With the backing of a powerful Yang Lord, its residence was filled with inscrutably powerful people. In this mainland, only the Peerless School and the Phantom Valley, with their extraordinary powers, could compare with the Beiming Manor.

However, even the lofty Beiming Manor, with its extraordinary powers, might hesitate to speak of judging an invincible Yang Lord!

What was this YunXiao Sect? It was not even worthy of licking Beiming Manor’s boots. Even if the Master of the YunXiao Sect arrived, he would only be worthy of kneeling to them. But these two, who were merely elders, dared to speak with an arrogance that even the Beiming Manor might not dare to assume.

Elder Gu and Elder Yin were enraged when they saw the Ye Family disciples roar with laughter.

“Ignorant youths, you must have a death wish!” Elder Gu roared with anger as he looked at the Ye Family. He was poised to strike.

However, one of the youths hurriedly smiled and said, “Powerful sirs, please don’t be angry. As you said, our Eldest Young Lady has brought a little white tiger back to the Ye House… so we will allow the two powerful sirs to enter the Ye House.”

With that, the youth actually made way and retreated to the side.

When they saw that, the other youths shook their head. This youth was just too mischievous. If they allowed these two super sect members into the Ye House, they would probably not leave alive. Even the other Ye Family disciples could take their lives, not to speak of the others present.

However, these youths were not stupid. They could tell that the Yunxiao Sect had some grievance with their Eldest Young Lady. However, none of them could understand how they had summoned up the courage to attempt to capture a powerful Yang Lord.

Whatever the case may be, since they had spoken so arrogantly and been so rude to their Eldest Young Lady, they must certainly die, and it would be all right to toy with them first.

“Hadn’t you better scram!” Elder Gu shouted coldly.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’m going, we’re all going. Powerful sirs, please don’t be angry. Our Eldest Young Lady is in residence. If the powerful sirs want to capture her, now is the time!” One of the youths spoke laughingly while the rest scattered in all directions.

Elder Yin and Elder Gu thought that the attitude these Ye Family disciples displayed was normal. After all, when nobodies encountered a truly powerful cultivator, they all adopted this attitude. They could even betray their own parents, much less the Eldest Young Lady.

“Hehe, family clans.”

Elder Yin laughed disdainfully and, together with Elder Gu, stepped over the threshold of the Ye House and entered the residence.

After a moment, Elders Yin and Gu arrived in the courtyard of the Ye House.

At that moment, more than a hundred talented youths were in the Ye Family courtyard, sparring and chatting.

The most powerful of the Ye Family’s younger generation had already entered the realm of half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and was on par with the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect.

However, when Elder Yin and Elder Gu saw the younger members of the Ye Family, they did not think much of the latter.

A bystander could only identify the Martial Qi realm of a martial arts cultivator when he fought or deliberately showed his aura.

In addition, these two elders had not considered what Martial Qi realm the Ye Family’s disciples were in, so they did not study them.

In the same way, the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect had not bothered about what Martial Qi realm Ye Qingtang was in. If they did not even respect the master of the Xuanling Sect, why would they bother with the cultivation level of a disciple?

_______________________________________________________________________________________

1025 - Dare To Make Trouble In Our Presence

At the same time, Ye Qingtang would certainly not pay attention to the cultivation realm of the two YunXiao Sect elders. Even if someone told her that the these two Yunxiao Sect elders were Heavenly Venerates, Ye Qingtang would definitely not believe them, and vice versa.

With her power, it would be a joke if Ye Qingtang still needed to be cautious and afraid of the threat these Yunxiao Sect elders

posed.

Whether it was the Long Family of the past or the two Yunxiao Sect elders of the present, their way of thinking was all alike.

No matter what, Elder Yin and Elder Gu would never have imagined that among the hundred-plus Ye Family disciples, even the weakest had already achieved the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three. The most powerful one was already a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord despite his young age and might be even more powerful than the two of them…

“Listen up, everyone!”

Elder Yin suddenly swept a glance at everyone present and shouted loudly. The force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord spilled forth.

The hundred-plus talented youths from the Ye Family immediately looked over at Elder Yin and Elder Gu.

Some of the talented disciples who were sparring in the martial arts arena stopped and looked in bewilderment at the two YunXiao Sect elders.

Had these two old men gone crazy?!

However, the hundred-plus Ye Family disciples studied them for a moment and then realized that these two elderly men were unfamiliar and had never appeared in the Ye House before. They also did not seem like members of the Ye Family.

“Yunxiao Sect?”

At that moment, several Ye Family disciples noticed the YunXiao Sect totem embroidered on these two elderly men’s white robes, showing that they were elders of the Yunxiao Sect.

“May I ask why both of you have come to the Ye House?” A youth with a cold expression looked at Elder Gu and Elder Yun and asked.

“Ask Ye Qingtang to come out,” said Elder Gu coldly.

Before they entered the Ye House, Elder Gu and Elder Yin had used their force to seal the entire Ye House. Even if Ye Qingtang knew that the Yunxiao Sect elders had arrived and tried to flee, it would be in vain. Sealed in by the force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, Ye Qingtang was effectively trapped in jail like sheep led to the slaughterhouse. It was impossible for her to run away from them!

“What… are you saying? Do you want to see our Eldest Young Lady?”

The youth immediately frowned. These two were merely half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords, yet they were so arrogant that they dared to call a Yang Lord by name… and they even wanted the Yang Lord to come and meet them?!

“Perhaps you didn’t understand what I said. I asked Ye Qingtang to come out.” Elder Gu roared coldly as he looked at the youth. After a moment, the force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord swept through the area and enclosed the youth.

A cold light flashed across the youth’s eyes. He was unafraid of the force displayed by Elder Gu. With an expressionless face, he said coldly, “You… are seeking your death.”

“Hahaha, these two old fellows actually used their force to seal the Ye House. I’m curious as to what they’re up to.”

When they heard the Ye Family disciple’s ignorant words, a murderous look surfaced in the eyes of Elder Gu and Elder Yin. These Ye Family disciples deserved to die.

“Yunxiao Sect elders? Who do you think you are? Why don’t you look at where you are before you make trouble in our presence?!” Another fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord stepped forward. He waved his hand and instantly destroyed the force emitted by Elder Gu.
