Chapter 476: Yun'er and Cai'er

With all these factors at play.

Ye Qingxuan could clearly sense that the time required for his ninth spiritual root to manifest had been drastically shortened.

The ninth spiritual root, which previously took three thousand years to manifest, now required only about a thousand years.

"Next, it is time to elevate the realms of the various divine abilities."

Having just broken through to the Void Emptiness realm, achieving another leap in cultivation in the short term was impossible.

Under these circumstances, the only way for him to strengthen himself was to improve the realms of his divine abilities.

As for his mastery of the four arts of cultivation?

Due to his cultivation base rising so rapidly, the resources Ye Qingxuan could obtain from the outside world could no longer keep pace.

Given the resources currently available to him.

He temporarily lacked sufficient high-grade resources to elevate his mastery of alchemy, artifact forging, array formation, and talisman drawing to the eighth tier.

Thus, in the time that followed.

Ye Qingxuan devoted the vast majority of his time to comprehending the minor divine abilities.

Just as Ye Qingxuan continued his seclusion to comprehend the divine abilities.

Within the Green Wood Mansion in Dao Guang Commandery, Qingzhou.

"Boom!" "Crash!"

A fierce battle concluded as brothers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu once again annihilated a Green Demon from the early Soul Transformation realm.

Ye Zhaoyu waved his hand to store the corpse of the Green Demon, complaining helplessly,

"When will this ever end?"

"The Green Demons within the Green Wood Mansion are increasing by the day. I wonder when we can finally return to the Qingxuan Blessed Land?"

Hearing his younger brother's complaint, Ye Zhaoheng also smiled bitterly,

"Who else but the Green Demon that destroyed the Ye family has yet to appear? Without the Young Master's orders, we cannot return to the Qingxuan Blessed Land!"

The hundred-year deadline set by Ye Qingxuan had long passed.

Yet, throughout those hundred years, the Green Demon responsible for destroying the Ye family never revealed itself.

Therefore, when the century mark arrived, the fragment of Primordial Spirit left by Ye Qingxuan in the World Map extended their time of return.

Since the great battle over a hundred years ago that wiped out the Ye family destroyed much of the Green Wood Mansion's environment.

The mansion has remained sparsely populated with cultivators dwindling, and even after more than a century, it has still not recovered.

It was precisely for this reason.

That the Green Demons invading Dao Guang Commandery established the Green Wood Mansion as their temporary base in the Earthly Realm.

Many Green Demons, after plundering various parts of Dao Guang Commandery and deciding not to return to the Green Demon Realm immediately, would come to the Green Wood Mansion to recuperate.

In recent years, were it not for Ye Qingxiao and the brothers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu patrolling and hunting Green Demons within the mansion.

The Green Wood Mansion would have long since become a paradise for the Green Demons.

Furthermore, cultivators from surrounding areas would occasionally track the movements of Green Demons into the mansion to hunt them down.

This barely managed to suppress the Green Demons within the Green Wood Mansion.

Otherwise, relying solely on Ye Qingxiao, Yu Xueqing, Ye Zhaoheng, and Ye Zhaoyu, they might not have been able to suppress all the Green Demons within the mansion.

After all, among the Green Demons secretly establishing temporary bases within the Green Wood Mansion, there were not a few experts of the Soul Transformation realm.

Relying solely on Ye Qingxiao, Yu Xueqing, Ye Zhaoheng, and Ye Zhaoyu was truly a case of the few being overwhelmed by the many.

Especially Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, whose cultivation bases remained at the early Soul Transformation realm and whose spiritual power was impure.

Facing Green Demons of the same realm, they were powerless.

Had it not been for the magic treasures, talismans, and other trump cards bestowed upon them by Ye Qingxuan.

They would have been lucky to avoid being slain by the Soul Transformation realm experts of the Green Demons, let alone having the confidence to track and hunt them down.

Thinking of the current state of the Green Wood Mansion, Ye Zhaoyu could not help but complain again,

"Big Brother, do you think the Xuantian Sect could not send more personnel to the Green Wood Mansion? It has us working ourselves to death here."

Their cultivation bases had both been raised through the use of elixirs.

Therefore, although both had successfully broken through to the Soul Transformation realm.

Due to their extremely impure spiritual power, their control over their own spiritual power was extremely low.

Even if they managed to hunt down a Green Demon of the Soul Transformation realm, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu dared not rashly offer the corpse to rapidly boost their cultivation.

Otherwise, a single mistake would risk them suffering qi deviation or exploding from within.

Thus, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu were not as eager as other cultivators to hunt down Green Demons.

If not for the sake of Ye Qingxiao.

Given the current environment of the Green Wood Mansion, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu would not have been willing to come out and hunt Green Demons.

After all, the Green Wood Mansion now lacked people and its environment was nearly destroyed; even if Green Demons were active there, it would not cause any further damage to the mansion.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyu's displeased mood, Ye Zhaoheng, standing nearby, also wore a bitter smile and shook his head slightly to comfort him,

"Enough. Complaining about this is useless. The territory controlled by the Xuantian Sect is vast; although the sect has many experts, there are also many places that need guarding."

"Compared to other commanderies and mansions, places like the Green Wood Mansion, which are now sparsely populated and lack spiritual veins, are not a priority for the Xuantian Sect to guard."

In recent years, the mid and low-level cultivators of the Earthly Realm and the Green Demon Realm have been locked in a fierce struggle.

It was not only the Green Demons invading the Earthly Realm; human cultivators were also continuously invading the Green Demon Realm.

In both realms, war had erupted everywhere.

Over a hundred years later, only the strongholds guarded by experts of the Void Emptiness realm and above could be considered relatively stable.

Other slightly remote areas all showed signs of Green Demon activity to some extent.

The same was true for the Green Demon Realm.

"Let's go, we should return first to adjust our state."

Having spoken, Ye Zhaoheng led Ye Zhaoyu away, fleeing toward the former Ye family ancestral lands.

The former Ye family ancestral lands served as the temporary base for Ye Qingxiao, Yu Xueqing, Ye Zhaoheng, and Ye Zhaoyu in Qingmu Prefecture.

After a period of flight,

the two finally returned to their temporary base within Qingmu Prefecture.

Two courtyards had now been built atop the ruins of the Ye family.

One was the temporary residence for the couple Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing, while the other was the temporary residence for the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

After Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu returned to their own residence,

two porcelain-doll-like little girls ran out joyfully from the courtyard of the couple Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing.

Entering the courtyard where the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, were located, they called out loudly:

"Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye, you have finally returned."

"Uncle Ye, hurry and take us out to play."

Watching the two little ones trot in, the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, immediately showed gentle smiles.

The two each picked up a little girl and said:

"Yun'er (Cai'er), let's go, Uncle will take you out for a ride."

Having spoken, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu carried the two little girls straight into the clouds, beginning to roam above the sky.
