Chapter 440: Zhaoheng and Zhaoyu Descend the Mountain

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's call.

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, who had been secluding themselves in their respective caves for cultivation all these years, instantly opened their eyes.

In the next moment, the two emerged from their caves and swiftly flew toward the stone pavilion on the mountain.

Upon arriving outside the stone pavilion and seeing Ye Qingxuan, the two bowed together respectfully and said:

"Subordinates Zhaoheng and Zhaoyu greet Young Master!"

"Rise!"

Looking at Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, a hint of a smile appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Over these years, although Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu had been cultivating in seclusion within their caves,

because they had previously taken shortcuts, their realms were unstable and their spiritual power was impure.

Their cultivation bases had remained stuck at the early stage of Soul Transformation, making no progress whatsoever.

However, the two had never given up on cultivation all these years.

Every day, they were either cultivating or tempering and purifying their spiritual power.

Even though the results were poor, they still did not give up.

Ye Qingxuan had witnessed all of this.

"Zhaoheng, Zhaoyu, how many years have passed since you two began following me?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu exchanged a glance and said in unison:

"Replying to Young Master, it has been over seven hundred and seventy years."

Upon hearing this, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes as he murmured:

"Indeed, in the blink of an eye, more than seven hundred years have passed. Time truly flies."

Adding the years before establishing the Qingxuan Blessed Land,

it had been nearly eight hundred years since he arrived in this world.

Coming back to his senses, Ye Qingxuan looked at Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, a hint of gentleness in his eyes.

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu were the ones who had followed him the longest.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to simply give up on Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

Over these years, he had also been seeking ways to solve the cultivation problems of the two.

Some time ago, Ye Qingxuan had already formed an idea.

He originally planned to solve their cultivation problems after the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land advanced to the seventh-order level.

But now, for the sake of the Ye family, it seemed he would have to wait a bit longer.

As his thoughts turned, a smile appeared on Ye Qingxuan's lips, and he spoke again:

"Zhaoheng, Zhaoyu, are you two willing to return to the Ye family?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words,

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu immediately panicked, thinking they had done something to displease Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Zhaoheng, looking anxious, spoke first:

"Young Master, if we have done anything wrong, please punish us, but we beg Young Master not to drive us away."

Ye Zhaoyu, standing nearby, also nervously agreed:

"Yes, Young Master, if my elder brother and I have done anything wrong, we can change. Please do not drive us away!"

Seeing the panicked expressions of Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, Ye Qingxuan could not help but laugh.

Realizing he had expressed himself poorly, Ye Qingxuan spoke to explain:

"Asking you to return to the Ye family does not mean you must stay there forever and never return."

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan's expression suddenly changed, becoming serious as he said:

"Zhaoheng, Zhaoyu!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu also adopted solemn expressions and said:

"Subordinates are here!"

"Now that the world is in chaos, are you two willing to descend the mountain and protect the Ye family for a hundred years?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu immediately understood and said in unison:

"We two subordinates are willing to descend the mountain and protect the Ye family for a hundred years!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan's expression softened slightly.

He flipped his right hand, and a vivid landscape map instantly appeared in his palm.

He tossed the landscape map, which floated before Ye Zhaoheng.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan spoke again:

"This is my innate magic treasure, the World Map, which contains a strand of my Primordial Spirit."

"You two shall take my innate magic treasure, descend the mountain, and protect the Ye family for a hundred years."

"If you encounter an invincible expert, you may summon the World Map to fight!"

"After a hundred years, when you return to the Qingxuan Blessed Land, I will solve your current cultivation problems for you both."

Hearing that their Young Master could solve their cultivation problems,

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu felt a surge of excitement in their hearts, and joy appeared on their faces.

Taking a deep breath to suppress their inner excitement, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu responded in unison:

"Yes, Young Master!"

After speaking, Ye Zhaoheng carefully put away the World Map floating before him.

Just as he was preparing to take Ye Zhaoyu down the mountain and return to the Ye family.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxuan spoke again at this moment:

"By the way, you two have been in seclusion and are unaware of the changes in the world today."

"Now that you have emerged from seclusion, you may have already sensed that the constraints of heaven and earth upon you have increased greatly, slowing your flight speed by about thirty times, correct?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu were equally puzzled by this change and nodded in unison:

"Yes, Young Master!"

Ye Qingxuan did not explain further.

After a brief thought, he produced a sixth-grade flying boat and handed it to the two of them.

"With the great changes in heaven and earth, teleportation arrays cannot be used for now. You two must cross several provinces and fly back to the Ye family."

"This is a sixth-grade flying boat I have crafted; take it for your journey!"

Shortly after, Ye Qingxuan remembered something else and spoke again:

"By the way, when you return, each of you must find a servant to bring back for me!"

Once Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu return, he will resolve the current drawbacks in their cultivation.

By then, it will also be time to cultivate two more servants.

After all, he currently appears to be a third-grade Fortune Cultivator, and he still has several servant slots unused.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu raised no objections.

However, Ye Zhaoheng asked curiously:

"Young Master, do you have any specific requirements for the servants we are to find?"

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"No requirements; handle it as you see fit!"

Given his current talent, cultivation base, and the forces he has cultivated under his command, his requirements for servants are not high.

Regardless of a servant's talent, they will likely be unable to keep up with his pace or provide him with significant help.

His desire to cultivate two more servants is merely to help him manage and coordinate affairs within the Xuantian Sect.

Within the Xuantian Sect, the cultivation base of his servants is not important.

Therefore, he simply imposed no restrictions or requirements on his future servants.

At that time, the decision will rest entirely with Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu themselves.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu scratched their heads.

Having no requirements is the greatest requirement.

They could not possibly just randomly find two servants for their Young Master.

However, facing Ye Qingxuan's order, they dared not refuse and could only temporarily agree:

"Yes, Young Master!"
