Chapter 4: The Ye Family's Concerns

  Ye Xuan returned to the Ye family, at this time Ye Zhenwu and Nangong Qi were waiting for him to come back for dinner. Nangong Qi urged: "Xuan'er, hurry up and come eat." Since Ye Xuan came to this world, if he had to say who truly cared about him, it would be these two people.

  Ye Zhenwu patted Ye Xuan's shoulder and said, "Xuan'er, with your father's current strength at the 8th layer of the Profound Gate realm, it seems that I won't be able to help you find the Profound Gate again."

  Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this, although he had also thought of this possibility.

  Ye Zhenwu looked at his dejected appearance and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, although I can't solve it, but I believe that with your grandfather's ability, he will definitely be able to help you."

  Ye Xuan nodded and asked: "Then what is my grandfather's current strength?"

  "I'm not quite sure about your grandfather's current strength, but we'll know tomorrow. He has been in seclusion for a year and tomorrow is the day he comes out of seclusion. Before his seclusion, his strength was at the 9th rank of Moon Profound Realm." When Ye Zhenwu mentioned the 8th rank of Moon Profound Realm, his eyes were filled with boundless longing.

  Ye Xuan suddenly remembered the soft stone egg, why not let his father take a look at what it was. So he took out the soft stone egg from his pocket and held it in front of Ye Zhenwu, saying: "Dad, take a look at this, what is it?"

  Ye Zhenwu took the soft stone egg and held it in his palm, carefully observing it. The stone egg had fine lines on its surface, but they didn't seem to form any particular shape. Holding it in his hand, he felt that it was heavy, and it didn't look like something a bird would lay at all.

  Ye Zhenwu had seen countless birds and beasts hatch eggs since he was a child, but he had never seen anything like this. Ye Zhenwu concentrated his mind and gathered his energy, a stream of mysterious energy surged into the palm of his hand, attempting to penetrate the soft stone egg. However, as soon as this energy reached the surface of the soft stone egg, it was met with a strong counterforce that blocked the entry of the energy.

  "Huh?" This made Ye Zhenwu feel very strange, he didn't expect this soft stone egg to have such a strong resistance to the Xuan Qi. Just now, Ye Zhenwu had only used a tiny bit of Xuan Qi, and this caused him to increase the intensity of the Xuan Qi's invasion.

  He felt that there was a mysterious energy invading the surface of the stone egg, but he suddenly felt his brain become dizzy, and his control over the mysterious energy became disordered. It seemed as if his body was about to lose control. Ye Zhenwu immediately stopped the flow of the mysterious energy, and his will quickly cleared up.

  At this time, Ye Zhenwu's back was already covered in cold sweat. He didn't expect a small stone egg to have such strange power. Looking at Ye Xuan who was observing from the side, he asked: "Where did you get this stone egg?"

  "It was something I picked up unintentionally on the mountain behind Ye's house." Ye Xuan didn't mention what happened between him and Dongfang Yan.

  "This stone egg seems to have a strange power that can make the Xuan Qi appear disordered, and people's spiritual power will also become dizzy. Since you picked it up, take good care of it, maybe one day you'll discover its secret." Ye Zhenwu handed the soft stone egg to Ye Xuan.

  Ye Xuan didn't expect that this soft stone egg, even the masters of the Profound Realm hadn't seen it before, and he felt a sense of wonder in his heart. This night, Ye Xuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and only fell into a daze at dawn, dreaming that he had become a master of the Profound Continent, able to overturn the seas with just one hand, and in his dream, he smiled.

  On the second day, early in the morning, everything was bustling with activity in the backyard of Ye's residence. In the backyard, there was a mountain gate cave mansion, which was the place where the successive generations of the Ye family had cultivated their skills. It is said that inside, there were the profound skills and mysterious techniques of the Ye family, so the ultimate learning within this cave mansion also became the aspiration for the younger generation of the Ye family to cultivate.

  The Ye family descendants all stood outside the cave entrance, with a crowd led by Ye Zhentang, Ye Zhenwu and Ye Zhenhu waiting for the clan leader to come out.

  Ye Xuan stood behind Ye Zhenwu, with a thin green leaf in his mouth, also wanting to take a look at this legendary figure of the Ye family.

  In the crowd, there was a young man wearing a white sleeve robe, about the same age as Ye Xuan. He had clear eyebrows and eyes, with his hands crossed over his chest. At this moment, he saw Ye Xuan and couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. He said to another young man beside him who was wearing a blue coarse linen robe: "He used to brag about being a genius in the world, now he can't even get into the Mystic Door, what a waste."

  The sound was not loud, but Ye Xuan heard it. Ye Xuan also found it strange that since he crossed over, his hearing had become so good, and his brain was full of energy every day. He slept for two or three hours at night and didn't feel tired the next day.

  At this time, Ye Yun discovered Ye Xuan in the crowd and walked towards him with a smile. This little girl was wearing a bright red straight-collared brocade dress today, her skin as fair as snow, exuding a youthful aura.

  Ye Xuan looked at her as she walked over, smiling and looking at her, pointing to the white-robed young man and asked: "Who is that young man?"

  Ye Yun looked in the direction he was pointing and replied: "His name is Ye Chen Tian, among the young juniors, apart from your brother, it's him. He has already reached the 9th layer of Xuan Qi. Alas, if your Xuan Men hadn't disappeared, you would have been at least at the 7th layer of Xuan Qi by now."

  As they spoke, Ye Chen Tian and the blue-robed young monk walked towards Ye Xuan and Ye Yun, approaching them. The blue-robed young monk was the first to speak: "I heard that you've lost your Mystic Gate, Ye Xuan, and are no different from ordinary people now?"

  "What's it to you?"

  "Hmph? You're quite arrogant, with that look on your face, I think it's better for you to stay in your room and not come out. If the clan elder sees you like this, it'll be really embarrassing." The young man sneered at Ye Xuan, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Previously, he couldn't keep up with Ye Xuan's cultivation speed, but now seeing Ye Xuan like this, he was overjoyed.

  "Yefeng, how can you talk like that? Who knows when Yexuan will erupt one day, the Mystic Gate will open wide, and he'll rush up to the Star Xuanyin Mirror in one move." Ye Chen Tian said with a smile.

  Ye Xuan only knew that the blue-robed young monk was called Ye Pan. Hum, one Ye Pan, one Ye Chen Tian, you two wait for me.

  Ye Yun didn't like what they said, after all Ye Xuan fell off the cliff to save her and became his current self. She angrily spoke to them: "You two are so unpleasant to listen to! Ye Pan, you just broke through the Sixth Layer of Profound Qi, aren't you? Just watch, I believe that Brother Ye Xuan will one day regain his strength and surpass you both again!"

  At this time, Ye Zhentang's son Ye Chuanzhan walked over, followed by his sister Ye Xiangting. Ye Chuanzhan and Ye Pan originally wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the stone gate of the mountain cave slowly moved, and the Ye family children began to get up, it seems that the head of the Ye family has come out.

  The stone gate opened, and an old man walked out from inside. The old man was probably over fifty years old, with white hair on his temples, but his whole body exuded a sense of majesty. He wore a brocade shirt, and his eyes scanned the crowd, falling upon Ye Zhentang, Ye Zhenwu, Ye Zhenhu, and other pillars of the Ye family, as well as many young members of the Ye clan.

  Ye family's eldest son just walked out with a smile, but before he could speak, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky and flew over, arriving in front of the Ye family's younger generation in the blink of an eye. A whirlwind was left behind in the sky, leaving the Ye family's younger generation stunned.

  "The Flying Sovereign of the Skies, a powerful expert from the Realm of Day and Night!"

  Ye's family head Ye Zhentang exclaimed in surprise.
