Chapter 634: Qingxuan Ye Family

"Whoosh!"

Ye Zhaoheng, carrying Ye Ximing, paused at the border between Mount Yunwu Province and Qing Province.

Following Ye Ximing's description and guidance, Ye Zhaoheng's spiritual sense explored the surroundings for a moment, then he flew on in the direction of Mount Yunwu Province for a while.

Upon arriving above a mountain range, Ye Zhaoheng finally asked:

"Is it here?"

Hearing this, Ye Ximing examined the mountain range below for a while, then finally pointed to a hidden valley in the distance below and said happily:

"Ancestor Zhaoheng, it's that valley!"

"Good!"

After confirming the location of Ye Family Village, Ye Zhaoheng picked up Ye Ximing and flew toward the valley where Ye Family Village was located.

In an instant, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Ximing had already entered Ye Family Village and arrived at the core area of the village.

Because Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Ximing did not deliberately conceal their aura fluctuations, they were discovered by the village chief of Ye Family Village, Ye Qingfeng, not long after they entered.

Ye Qingfeng, who had originally been lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted with a solemn expression: "Who is trespassing in my Ye Family Village?"

As he spoke, he flew toward the place where Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Ximing had landed.

However, before Ye Qingfeng could arrive, Ye Ximing had already impatiently and happily greeted him, speaking first:

"Grandpa Village Chief, it's me, I'm back!"

Hearing the familiar address and looking at Ye Ximing flying toward him, Ye Qingfeng paused and said with some hesitation:

"Are you... Ming'er?"

Seeing that his Grandpa Village Chief seemed to have recognized him, Ye Ximing became even happier; he arrived not far from Ye Qingfeng and nodded.

"Grandpa Village Chief, it's me, it's Ming'er!"

When he left Ye Family Village, he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

After so many years of cultivation and growth, his appearance had indeed changed quite a bit.

So, seeing the hesitation on Ye Qingfeng's face, Ye Ximing decisively took out the Ye Family Head Token and waved it in front of Ye Qingfeng.

Looking at the Ye Family Head Token in Ye Ximing's hand, Ye Qingfeng instantly confirmed Ye Ximing's identity and couldn't help but step forward, laughing heartily: "Hahaha, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

"All these years, after you and that old fellow Ye Xuanyun left Ye Family Village, Grandpa Village Chief has been worrying about your safety."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingfeng looked around and asked with some confusion:

"Where is that old fellow Ye Xuanyun?"

Seeing that there was no sign of Ye Xuanyun beside Ye Ximing, Ye Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, his face instantly turned somewhat pale, and he asked Ye Ximing with a tremor: "Could it be that your Grandpa Xuanyun has already..."

Hearing this, looking at Ye Qingfeng's pale face, Ye Ximing hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Village Chief, you don't need to worry, Grandpa Xuanyun is fine."

"Back then, I got separated from Grandpa Xuanyun. We had originally agreed to meet at the provincial capital of Mount Yunwu Province before the Profound Yi Tianzong's recruitment ceremony."

"It's just that I was delayed for several years due to other matters. By the time I arrived at the Mount Yunwu provincial capital, it was already too late, and I missed the time to meet up with Grandpa Xuanyun."

"Grandpa Xuanyun probably thought something had happened to me when he saw that I hadn't arrived at the provincial capital for a long time, so he left the provincial capital alone to return to Ye Family Village."

"Based on Grandpa Xuanyun's speed, he should still be on his way back to Ye Family Village now, so Grandpa Village Chief, you don't need to worry."

Although he said this, Ye Ximing was actually very worried about Ye Xuanyun's safety in his heart; after all, everything he said was just his own speculation.

But to stabilize Ye Qingfeng's emotions, he could only explain it this way for now.

Hearing Ye Ximing's explanation, the sense of unease in Ye Qingfeng's heart weakened slightly, but he still had many doubts in his heart.

Just as Ye Qingfeng opened his mouth slightly, preparing to ask something else, Ye Zhaoheng had already walked unhurriedly to a spot not far behind Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng's gaze crossed Ye Ximing and fixed on the figure of Ye Zhaoheng walking over; his open mouth suddenly changed the subject and he asked:

"Ming'er, who is this?"

Hearing Ye Qingfeng's question and looking at the change in Ye Qingfeng's gaze, Ye Ximing also reacted and hurriedly turned halfway to introduce him:

"Grandpa Village Chief, this is Ancestor Zhaoheng, and he is also one of the ancestors of our Ye Family. He is Ancestor Qingxuan's..."

Speaking of this, Ye Ximing suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he paused, a look of regret appearing in his eyes, not knowing how to continue the introduction.

Sensing the change in Ye Ximing's emotions, the expressionless Ye Zhaoheng didn't take it to heart and took over the conversation, speaking proactively:

"My young master is Ye Qingxuan, and I am one of my young master's attendants."

Seeing that Ye Zhaoheng did not blame him, Ye Ximing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Qingfeng, continuing:

"Grandpa Village Chief, I have already successfully met Ancestor Qingxuan at the Profound Yi Tianzong."

"It was also Ancestor Qingxuan who arranged for Ancestor Zhaoheng to send me back to Ye Family Village, which is why I was able to return to Ye Family Village a step ahead of Grandpa Xuanyun."

Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and his previous doubts lessened.

Although Ye Zhaoheng looked very young on the surface, Ye Qingfeng did not doubt Ye Ximing's words.

After tidying up his clothes, Ye Qingfeng bowed respectfully to Ye Zhaoheng: "Ye Family descendant Ye Qingfeng, pays respects to Ancestor Zhaoheng!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoheng nodded slightly: "No need for such formalities!"

Seeming to sense that his presence was affecting the reunion between Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ximing, Ye Zhaoheng spoke again:

"I will go walk around the surroundings first. Once you have decided where to settle the new Ye Family clan grounds, contact me again!"

After speaking, before Ye Qingfeng and Ye Ximing could say anything, Ye Zhaoheng's figure had already disappeared.

Watching Ye Zhaoheng's disappearing figure, the words Ye Qingfeng originally wanted to say were instantly stifled.

Turning his head to look at Ye Ximing, Ye Qingfeng asked in a low voice: "Ming'er, what exactly is this Ancestor Zhaoheng's cultivation base? And what does it mean to settle the new Ye Family clan grounds?"

Hearing Ye Qingfeng's question, Ye Ximing smiled slightly smugly and responded:

"Reporting to Grandpa Village Chief, Ancestor Zhaoheng is at the Void Penetration Realm, and the new Ye Family..."

"What? Ancestor Zhaoheng is at the Void Penetration Realm?"

Before Ye Ximing could finish his sentence, Ye Qingfeng had already been shocked to the point of interrupting him directly. While shocked, Ye Qingfeng suddenly thought of Ye Ximing's introduction of Ye Zhaoheng just now, so the emotions in his heart surged, and he couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Ming'er, you just said Ancestor Zhaoheng is Ancestor Qingxuan's attendant. Now Ancestor Zhaoheng is at the Void Penetration Realm, then what exactly is Ancestor Qingxuan's cultivation base?"

Hearing this, Ye Ximing slowly shook his head, a look of worship appearing in his eyes.

"I don't know what Ancestor Qingxuan's cultivation base is either, but our Ye Family's Ancestor Qingxuan is actually the Ancestor of Blessed Land Cultivators, Ye Qingxuan, who was previously announced to the world by the Sound of Heaven and Earth."

Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng was shocked again.

"What? Our Ye Family's Ancestor Qingxuan is the Ancestor of Blessed Land Cultivators, Ye Qingxuan?"

"That's right!"

Next, Ye Ximing briefly recounted to Ye Qingfeng the journey between leaving Ye Family Village and heading to the Profound Yi Tianzong.

Speaking to the end, Ye Ximing showed unconcealable joy on his face: "Returning this time, I am under the orders of Ancestor Qingxuan to rebuild the Ye Family."

"For this, besides bestowing basic resources worth 100 million Lower Grade spirit stones, Ancestor Qingxuan also gave a Seventh-Order Clan Protection Array, a Seventh-Order spirit vein, and a Three-Star Lower Grade spirit treasure."

"As well as the inheritance of the new Blessed Land Cultivation Path personally created by Ancestor Qingxuan, and the Source Seeds needed to enter the new Blessed Land Cultivation Path."

"Ancestor Zhaoheng coming down the mountain this time is under the orders of Ancestor Qingxuan. Besides bringing me back to Ye Family Village, Ancestor Zhaoheng also has the heavy responsibility of helping the Ye Family rebuild the new Ye Family clan grounds."

Regarding the things bestowed by Ye Qingxuan, Ye Ximing had no intention of hiding them from Ye Qingfeng.

Not to mention that Ye Qingfeng was the relative who had raised him from childhood after his parents fell at the hands of demonic beasts, Ye Ximing already trusted Ye Qingfeng deeply.

Plus, as the current village chief of Ye Family Village, every aspect of rebuilding the Ye Family clan grounds could not be separated from Ye Qingfeng, and he would need Ye Qingfeng, who currently had the highest prestige in Ye Family Village, to come forward and communicate with the people of the village.

Therefore, Ye Ximing felt that Ye Qingfeng should also have the right to know information related to Ancestor Qingxuan.

Looking at Ye Qingfeng's stunned face, Ye Ximing smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a longing for the future, and he said softly:

"So next, we need to choose the location for the Ye Family clan grounds, and then Ancestor Zhaoheng will personally help us rebuild the Ye Family."

After speaking, Ye Ximing did not speak to disturb Ye Qingfeng, who was already stunned, silently staying in place waiting for Ye Qingfeng to digest what he had said.

At the same time, Ye Qingfeng's mind was constantly echoing with what Ye Ximing had said: "Ancestor Qingxuan is the Ancestor of Blessed Land Cultivators, Ye Qingxuan, basic resources worth 100 million Lower Grade spirit stones, a Seventh-Order Clan Protection Array, a Seventh-Order spirit vein, a Three-Star Lower Grade spirit treasure."

For a moment, Ye Qingfeng felt like he was dreaming.

If all this were true, their Ye Family Village would go from being on the decline to rising like the morning sun.

After a long time, Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but pinch his thigh hard. Feeling the pain from his thigh, Ye Qingfeng instantly laughed heartily: "Hahaha, good, good! I never expected that the Ancestor of Blessed Land Cultivators, who was announced to the world by the Sound of Heaven and Earth, would actually be our Ye Family's Ancestor Qingxuan. The time for our Ye Family's revival has finally come."

As he laughed, Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but shed tears of an old man.

Only he knew how much hope the Head Token he had voluntarily given to Ye Ximing carried from the ancestors of the Ye Family.

Since the ancestors of the Ye Family escaped from the hands of the Green Demon Clan and accidentally drifted here to settle down and establish this Ye Family Village, the Ye Family had gradually begun to decline.

Until now, besides Ye Ximing, even the birth of a new Foundation Establishment cultivator had become a luxury for Ye Family Village.

In this process, the Ye Family Head Token was passed down from generation to generation, and information about Ancestor Qingxuan was passed down by word of mouth by successive village chiefs of Ye Family Village.

Perhaps it was because a desperate situation required the support of a belief.

So in later times, the Ye Family Head Token and Ancestor Qingxuan, who was far away in the Profound Yi Tianzong, had become the only hope for successive village chiefs of Ye Family Village.

Successive village chiefs firmly believed that as long as the descendants of Ye Family Village had the opportunity to take the Ye Family Head Token to the Profound Yi Tianzong to find their Ye Family's Ancestor Qingxuan, the Ye Family would definitely gain the opportunity to rise again.

When he originally passed the Ye Family Head Token to Ye Ximing and let Ye Ximing go to the Profound Yi Tianzong to find their Ye Family's Ancestor Qingxuan.

In his heart, there was not only worry about Ye Ximing's departure, but also expectation and anxiety about Ye Ximing's journey.

Fortunately, the belief held by successive village chiefs of Ye Family Village did not disappoint him.

When Ye Ximing returned to Ye Family Village, he not only really brought back the hope for the Ye Family's new rise from Ancestor Qingxuan, but this hope was also shockingly large.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qingfeng forcibly suppressed the various emotions in his heart and looked at Ye Ximing, saying:

"Ming'er, where do you think it is most appropriate to settle our Ye Family's new clan grounds? Or should we return to the Ye Family's former clan grounds and rebuild the Ye Family clan grounds on the original site?"

"This..."

Suddenly hearing Ye Qingfeng's question, Ye Ximing also found it hard to decide for a moment.

After thinking about it and discussing it with Ye Qingfeng for a long time, Ye Ximing finally made up his mind and said:

"Grandpa Village Chief, let's establish the Ye Family's new clan grounds on this mountain range where Ye Family Village is currently located!"

Although the Ye Family now has many foundations bestowed by Ye Qingxuan and does not need to fear the covetousness of outsiders.

But the Ye Family's current strength is too low, and there are too few people in Ye Family Village.

In the short term, even if the Ye Family is rebuilt, it will be enough for self-preservation but insufficient for progress. It is not suitable to publicize it widely or have close contact and exchanges with outside cultivators.

So rather than returning to the ruins of the Ye Family's former clan grounds or going to other prosperous places to rebuild the Ye Family clan grounds, and coming into contact with other large and small forces outside too early.

It is better to establish the Ye Family clan grounds in the mountain range where Ye Family Village is located.

Anyway, with the Seventh-Order spirit vein, even if the mountain range where Ye Family Village is located lacks spiritual energy, it will not affect the Ye Family's future development.

And with the many resources he brought back, the Ye Family does not need to operate its own industries outside for the time being.

Rebuilding the Ye Family in this remote place can buy the Ye Family some time to develop.

Once the Ye Family's strength improves, whether it is operating its own industries outside or the limitation of distance will no longer be a big problem.

Even, with the Ye Family's Seventh-Order spirit vein as the core, it may not be impossible to take the Ye Family clan grounds as the core in the future and completely develop this area, making it increasingly prosperous.

Hearing the choice Ye Ximing finally made, Ye Qingfeng pondered for a moment and nodded:

"That's fine, the people of our Ye Family Village are already used to living here. Establishing the Ye Family's new clan grounds directly in the mountain range where Ye Family Village is located will be easier for everyone to accept!"

"However, after the Ye Family is rebuilt, what do you plan to call our Ye Family Village? Will the external name be called Ye Family directly?"

Hearing this, Ye Ximing pondered for a while, and finally slowly said:

"In the future, let's call it the Qingxuan Ye Family!"
