Chapter 609

Those two old men who were just arguing.

One was named Ye Ye Xuanyun, the old man who had just proposed letting the boy leave Ye Family Village.

One was named Ye Ye Qingfeng, the current village chief of Ye Family Village.

The two of them were already the only two remaining Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in Ye Family Village, and both of them had little lifespan left.

Since the batch of cultivators who fled to this place from the Ye family back then passed away one after another in despair, and Ye Family Village gradually returned to mediocrity.

Perhaps the younger generation of Ye Family Village cultivators trapped in this place could no longer see the hope of the future.

In a state of despair, some of them were no longer willing to be restricted by too many rules and regulations.

Therefore, except for that one family rule that the predecessors of Ye Family Village forcibly set back then.

The rules from the glorious period of the Ye family in the past were now no longer enforced by anyone in Ye Family Village, nor were they willing to use them to constrain the younger generation of Ye Family Village who were already trapped in one place.

Among them, included the regulation of the Ye family's naming convention back then, using twelve characters to rank generations.

Now in Ye Family Village.

Some people were still relatively conservative, so they were still continuing to use that set of naming rules from the Ye family before.

But there were also some people who perhaps longed for Ye Family Village to make changes in the depths of their hearts, and their naming was already much more casual, no longer following that set of regulations from the Ye family before.

Among the two.

Ye Family Village's village chief Ye Ye Qingfeng, and the people of his lineage, basically belonged to the more conservative people, and their names were also taken according to that set of rules of the Ye family back then.

Ye Ye Xuanyun, and the people of his lineage, did not follow that set of rules of the Ye family back then when taking names.

And the Ming'er in the mouths of the two was named Ye Ye Ximing, who could be considered a person of the lineage of village chief Ye Ye Qingfeng, and his name was also personally taken by Ye Ye Qingfeng back then.

So the 'Xi' character in Ye Ye Ximing's name was selected according to the regulations from the twelve characters of Yu, Wen, Huan, Jing, Rui, Yong, Qing, Zhao, Xi, Shi, Xu, Chang of the Ye family back then.

Ye Ye Ximing was just thirteen years old this year, and was a heaven-defying genius with a nine-element spiritual root talent unprecedented in Ye Family Village, and even in the Ye family back then.

When Ye Ye Ximing's talent was detected back then, Ye Ye Ximing was directly regarded as the new hope of Ye Family Village by the two old men, Ye Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ye Qingfeng, who were already in despair.

And Ye Ye Ximing did not let the two down.

Even in the current Ye Family Village where resources were scarce and spiritual energy was thin, Ye Ye Ximing only spent one year to break through to the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun, who were originally arguing, after hearing the sudden voice from high altitude and the content within it, especially after hearing the three words 'Profound Yi Tianzong'.

The pupils of the two suddenly shrank, and they looked at each other, seeing the pleasantly surprised yet somewhat suspicious look in each other's eyes.

And the originally somewhat noisy Ye Family Village was also silent for a moment after hearing the notification of the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony.

But after the silence, it was a heated discussion.

It was just that these villagers in Ye Family Village now did not know what the content in the voice represented, nor did they know what kind of existence the 'Profound Yi Tianzong' was.

So the content they discussed was merely curious about the source of the voice, and did not pay too much attention to the content within it.

And Ye Ye Ximing, after hearing this voice that came out of thin air, looked up at the sky with slight doubt.

"Who is talking in the sky?"

A pair of bright eyes looked around, but found nothing, and could only withdraw his gaze with some disappointment.

Then, looking at Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun, whose expressions were somewhat strange, Ye Ye Ximing asked with a trace of curiosity in his eyes: "Village Chief Grandpa, Ye Xuanyun Grandpa, who was talking just now? Also, what kind of place is the Profound Yi Tianzong?"

"The Profound Yi Tianzong, ah..."

Hearing Ye Ye Ximing's inquiry, Ye Ye Qingfeng also felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

He also did not expect that in his lifetime, he would still be able to hear information about the supreme Profound Yi Tianzong from the classics passed down by the Ye family predecessors.

Not only Ye Ye Qingfeng, but Ye Ye Xuanyun on the side was also the same.

As the only two remaining Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in Ye Family Village now, both of them were qualified to read the various classics passed down by the Ye family predecessors back then.

Among them included information about the Ye family through the ages and records of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

And a force as glorious as the Ye family back then, which was dignified and had a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse sitting in command, was merely an insignificant part of the many affiliated forces under the Profound Yi Tianzong.

The cultivators who survived from the Ye family back then, how could they not have thought about contacting the Profound Yi Tianzong and seeking the help of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

It was a pity that although their Ye family was an affiliated force of the Profound Yi Tianzong back then, their strength was ultimately too low in front of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

In the entire Ye family, only the family head back then was qualified to establish direct contact with the Profound Yi Tianzong.

After the family head fell, the cultivators who luckily escaped to this place from the Ye family back then also lost the means to contact the Profound Yi Tianzong across millions of miles.

Didn't expect that the information about the Profound Yi Tianzong that their predecessors sought but could not find back then would appear at this time for some reason.

Although he could not understand how the information about the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony crossed several large provinces and was transmitted directly to their Ye Family Village.

But Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun were also greatly shocked in their hearts.

For a time, Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun, whose thoughts were surging, stood blankly on the spot, somewhat lost.

Ye Ye Ximing, who did not get an answer on the side, saw this and could not help but carefully call out softly again: "Village Chief Grandpa, Ye Xuanyun Grandpa."

Hearing Ye Ye Ximing's call, Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun instantly came back to their senses.

After the two looked at each other, Ye Ye Qingfeng recalled the records of the Profound Yi Tianzong in his mind and smiled slightly:

"This Profound Yi Tianzong, ah, that is one of the hegemon-level forces in our Eastern Region, and the great power cultivators sitting in command within it can be said to be countless."

Hearing Ye Ye Qingfeng's explanation, Ye Ye Ximing fell into deep thought, muttering in his mouth:

"Profound Yi Tianzong, hegemon-level force!"

Although Ye Ye Ximing did not know what hegemon-level force meant.

But it sounded very powerful, and he still firmly remembered the Profound Yi Tianzong in his heart.

Just at this moment, Ye Ye Xuanyun, who had been silent for a long time, proposed again:

"Send Ming'er to the Profound Yi Tianzong to cultivate!"

Facing Ye Ye Xuanyun's proposal, Ye Ye Qingfeng was still somewhat hesitant in his heart:

"But according to the ancestral records, the Profound Yi Tianzong is across the distance of several large provinces from here."

"Plus the demons passed down by word of mouth by the predecessors."

"Relying solely on the current strength of our Ye Family Village, how can we safely send Ming'er to the Profound Yi Tianzong?"

"If it were really that easy, the predecessors of our Ye family would not have actively trapped themselves to death in this area."

Speaking to the end, Ye Ye Qingfeng's originally wavering heart became firm again.

And after hearing these words, even Ye Ye Xuanyun, who had always wanted to send Ye Ye Ximing out of the cage of Ye Family Village, no longer felt as firm as before in his heart at this time.

Just at this time, two more voices sounded out of thin air in Ye Family Village one after another:

"My Tianyuan Sect will hold... ten years from now..."

"My Huangfu Immortal Clan will hold... ten years from now..." The notification of the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony was first, and now they heard the notifications of the recruitment ceremonies of the Tianyuan Sect and the Huangfu Immortal Clan.

Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun, who were originally still arguing, were instantly stunned.

And Ye Ye Ximing, who was on the side standing on tiptoe and looking around, seemingly wanting to explore the source of the sound, but still gained nothing.

Frowned, looked at Ye Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ye Xuanyun, and asked again:

"Village Chief Grandpa, Ye Xuanyun Grandpa, what kind of forces are this Tianyuan Sect and Huangfu Immortal Clan? Are they the same as the Profound Yi Tianzong?"

This time, before Ye Ye Qingfeng could speak, Ye Ye Xuanyun had already explained one step ahead:

"That's right, according to the ancestral records, there are three major hegemon-level forces in the Eastern Region where we are located."

"Besides the Profound Yi Tianzong, the other two major hegemon-level forces are this Tianyuan Sect and the Huangfu Immortal Clan."

After speaking, Ye Ye Xuanyun turned his head to look at Ye Ye Qingfeng again, his eyes shining brightly:

"Now the three major hegemon-level forces in the Eastern Region have issued a notification at the same time that they will hold recruitment ceremonies ten years from now."

"The range of dissemination is so wide that it even crossed a distance of trillions of miles and was transmitted to our Ye Family Village."

"Under such circumstances, there is a great possibility that the demon disaster passed down by word of mouth by our Ye Family Village predecessors has probably already been suppressed by the three major hegemon-level forces in our Eastern Region."

"Having lost the danger of demons, the outside world can naturally be gone to."

"Ye Qingfeng, send Ming'er away from Ye Family Village! With Ming'er's talent, he should not be like us, wasting his whole life here."

This time, Ye Ye Qingfeng did not retort or refuse when he heard Ye Ye Xuanyun's words; his somewhat turbid eyes flickered slightly, and he did not know what he was thinking in his heart.

Seeing this, Ye Ye Xuanyun continued to persuade:

"Although the location of our Ye Family Village is very far from the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"But as long as we go out and re-establish contact with the outside world, I believe there will always be a way for Ming'er to rush to the Profound Yi Tianzong within ten years to participate in the recruitment ceremony."

"You know Ming'er's talent; as long as he can rush to the Profound Yi Tianzong, Ming'er will definitely be able to join the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"And only by letting Ming'er join the Profound Yi Tianzong will our Ye family have hope of rising again."

"Old guy, it's time for our Ye Family Village to make changes."

At this time, Ye Family Village was disconnected from the outside world for too long, and now did not know that the province-level arrays in various provinces of the Eastern Region had been renovated and could be used for inter-province teleportation.

That is to say, they only needed to spend some time to rush to the province city of Ling Yunhai Province.

They could pass through province-level teleportation arrays one after another and teleport all the way to the large province near the Profound Yi Tianzong, saving a large amount of travel distance.

However, with Ye Ye Ximing's current strength.

Wanting to rush from the edge of Ling Yunhai Province to the province city of Ling Yunhai Province, I am afraid it would also take a considerable amount of time.

Plus the rest on the way and the delay of other things, whether Ye Ye Ximing could rush to the province city of Ling Yunhai Province within ten years was probably still an unknown.

But Ye Family Village, which knew nothing about all this at this time, instead did not need to feel worried about these things.

After Ye Ye Xuanyun finished speaking, Ye Ye Qingfeng's originally flickering gaze suddenly fixed, as if he had made a certain choice in his heart.

Facing Ye Ye Xuanyun's strong gaze, Ye Ye Qingfeng said in a hoarse voice:

"I want to communicate with Ming'er alone."

Hearing this, Ye Ye Xuanyun looked at Ye Ye Qingfeng deeply.

Then he did not ask much, his figure moved slightly, and he left this place at a very fast speed.

After Ye Ye Xuanyun left, Ye Ye Qingfeng turned his gaze and looked at Ye Ye Ximing, who was silent on the side, very kindly, and asked: "Xi'er, you also heard what Village Chief Grandpa and Ye Xuanyun Grandpa just said."

"What do you think? Do you want to leave Ye Family Village and go see the wider world outside?"

Hearing this, Ye Ye Ximing carefully looked at Ye Ye Qingfeng.

After feeling the kind look in Ye Ye Qingfeng's eyes, the tension in his heart instantly eased a lot.

Looking up at the sky, a trace of yearning appeared in Ye Ye Ximing's eyes, and then he looked at Ye Ye Qingfeng firmly:

"Village Chief Grandpa, Ming'er wants to go out and see the world outside."

"And only by going to the Profound Yi Tianzong can Ming'er become stronger, and only then will he have more power to protect the people of our Ye Family Village in the future."

"Good!"

Hearing that Ye Ye Ximing wanted to leave Ye Family Village, Ye Ye Qingfeng was not angry; instead, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Since that's the case, then Ming'er, you go see the world outside for us old guys!"

"Our Ye family was an affiliated force of the Profound Yi Tianzong back then, after all."

"If we can re-establish contact with the Profound Yi Tianzong and get a trace of help from the Profound Yi Tianzong, it will be enough to change the current predicament of our Ye Family Village."

Speaking of this, Ye Ye Qingfeng suddenly paused for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Ye Ye Ximing saw this and did not dare to rashly speak to interrupt Ye Ye Qingfeng's thinking, and could only wait obediently on the side.

"Sigh! Ming'er, perhaps you are the last hope of our Ye Family Village."

After a sigh, Ye Ye Qingfeng suddenly took out a token from his storage ring, and a 'Ye' character on the token faintly had light flowing.

Looking at this token, Ye Ye Qingfeng said with some reminiscence: "This token was passed to me by my Village Chief Grandpa back then; it is the family head token of our Ye family back then."

"Ming'er, from now on, this family head token is yours."

After speaking, Ye Ye Qingfeng waved his hand and sent this token to Ye Ye Ximing's front.

And Ye Ye Ximing, after hearing Ye Ye Qingfeng's words, looked at the Ye family head token in front of him and shook his head anxiously: "No, Village Chief Grandpa, Ming'er cannot take this token; Ming'er is still too young now and cannot carry this heavy burden."

Looking at Ye Ye Ximing who was shaking his head anxiously, Ye Ye Qingfeng laughed out loud: "Hahaha, Ming'er, just take this family head token!"

"Since you are going to leave Ye Family Village and head to the Profound Yi Tianzong, then Village Chief Grandpa also has a task to give you."

Without waiting for Ye Ye Ximing to ask, the words spoken by the previous village chief of Ye Family Village when he passed the position to him appeared in Ye Ye Qingfeng's mind, and he said leisurely:

"Actually, we have an ancestor existing in the Profound Yi Tianzong."

Because Ye Ye Qingxiao often left the Profound Yi Tianzong back then, the contact between the Ye family and Ye Ye Qingxiao was very little.

Plus, when the Ye family was destroyed back then, there were many things that were too late to be explained, and only some younger generation cultivators escaped.

Except for the Ye family's young master back then, Ye Ye Wenqiu, who was told by the Ye family's family head back then, Ye Ye Zhaojun, after sensing the crisis in the dark, passed down the family head token in advance and explained the agreement with Ye Ye Qingxuan.

Luckily, Ye Ye Qingxuan's information was passed down from generation to generation among the village chiefs of Ye Family Village.

Ye Ye Qingxiao's information was not recorded in the current Ye Family Village.

So the current village chief of Ye Family Village, Ye Ye Qingfeng, only knew of Ye Ye Qingxuan's existence, but did not know of Ye Ye Qingxiao's existence.

Hearing Ye Ye Qingfeng's words, Ye Ye Ximing seemed to know that he had heard a big secret; after widening his eyes and looking left and right, he leaned his head toward Ye Ye Qingfeng and asked in a low voice: "Ancestor? Village Chief Grandpa, what is this ancestor's name?"
