Chapter 469: Three Ye Soaring Across the Sky!

The Clan Leader's Great Hall, grand and solemn, with purple‑gold imperial pillars supporting the dome, upon which ancient motifs of sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers are carved, flowing with the eternal Imperial Way Divine Radiance.

Inside the hall there are no superfluous decorations, only a massive dragon table hewn from a single Chaos Imperial Heart Jade, and a few slightly smaller rose‑wood seats on either side; the air is suffused with a lingering sense of ages and a faint, soothing sandalwood fragrance.

Ye Jinghong dismissed his left and right attendants, led Ye Wuque to sit beside the dragon table, and took the main seat himself; yet his expression lacked the absolute authority of old, instead bearing a trace of uncontainable excitement and an indescribable solemnity.

He inhaled deeply, his gaze blazing like torches, staring straight at Ye Wuque, and said in a deep voice: "Wuque, you are now the undisputed Young Master of our Ye Clan, the hope and backbone of our future. Some secrets concerning our clan's true roots and history have reached the time when you must be told."

Ye Wuque sat upright, his demeanor solemn: "Clan Leader, please speak; I listen attentively."

Ye Jinghong did not jump straight to the point, but first posed a question: "Wuque, since you set foot in the Nine Heavens Ten Earth, traveling far and wide, your insight has broadened. In your view, where does the Ye Clan's current strength stand within the vast Nine Heavens Ten Earth and the myriad Zhutian Wanjie?"

Without hesitation, Ye Wuque answered, his voice clear and firm: "Strong! Extremely strong! Strong enough to be renowned across the Nine Heavens Ten Earth, to awe the Zhutian Wanjie, and to overlook the Eternal Time and Space!"

These were not empty words, but his heartfelt, sincere assessment.

As a family of the Undying Aristocratic Family that has inherited its legacy for countless epochs, the Ye Clan's foundation is unfathomably deep.

On the surface stand the Clan Leader Ye Jinghong, a titan of the Origin Dao Realm, numerous powerful Elders, Ancestor‑level legacies that shake the Zhutian, enterprises and vassal forces spread across the Zhutian, and legendary ancient entities such as Ye Shizu, who have long become myth and reside deep within the Space‑Time River.

Such strength, whether within the Nine Heavens Ten Earth or across the Zhutian Wanjie, is unquestionably a colossal entity at the very pinnacle.

Ye Jinghong heard this and gave a faint smile, a smile that carried pride and an ineffable depth and brilliance.

"You are right, Wuque. The Ye Clan today is indeed very strong, strong enough to command the reverence of all spirits and to make foes wary."

His tone suddenly shifted, his voice dropping a few degrees, bearing a near‑whispered force: "But if I told you that the Ye Clan is still not at its peak, not in its most complete state… would you believe it?"

"What?!"

Ye Wuque's pupils constricted like needle tips, and for the first time his face showed an unmistakable shock and disbelief!

Today the Ye Clan has the incomprehensible presence of Ye Shizu seated, a powerful core formed by the Clan Leader and numerous Elders, an indestructible foundation upheld by the Ancestors, countless Heavenly Pride heroes emerging endlessly, vast territories, and a depth beyond measure…

And yet this is not the clan's ultimate peak? Not its most complete state?

Then… what height did the clan reach at its pinnacle?

And what would the complete Ye Clan look like?

Ye Wuque's thoughts were instantly thrown into confusion by this astonishing information; he realized his understanding of the Ye Clan had only skimmed the tip of an iceberg!

Seeing the genuine shock on Ye Wuque's face, Ye Jinghong's eyes flashed with understanding; he did not withhold any more, and his voice rose slowly, bearing a reverence and pride that recalled past glory:

"Before endless ages, in that ancient epoch when even the Space‑Time River's records are vague… the Ye Clan's most prosperous, most radiant era, spanning the entire Nine Heavens Ten Earth, was undeniably the First Undying Aristocratic Clan! No force could move our clan a hair, no race dared to meet our edge!"

His voice grew increasingly lofty, as if a sealed glorious scroll were unfurling within his words:

In that age, under the joint guidance of our three great ancestors—who were beyond imagination—the Ye Clan's fortune surged like a rainbow, flourishing day by day! Our clan's destiny rose to the heavens, its prestige shook the ages! We not only firmly controlled the most fertile lands of the Nine Heavens Ten Earth, but also set foot in countless corners of the Zhutian Wanjie! We waged wars in all directions, forged ahead, explored boundless secret realms, and subjugated myriad races!

It was a dazzling era of prodigies and a rain of Heavenly Pride! Countless extraordinarily talented Ye Clan youths shone like stars in that era's sky; each one could become the ruler of a Star Domain! Our clan's power, influence, and hard strength reached an unprecedented summit, truly achieving… overlooking the Nine Heavens Ten Earth, renowned across the Zhutian Wanjie!

Ye Jinghong's tone was filled with boundless pride and yearning, as if he himself had bathed in that era's radiance.

He paused, then each word landed with weight:

"And those three great beings who led the Ye Clan to supreme brilliance were then honored as… Three Ye Soaring Across the Sky!"

"Three Ye Soaring Across the Sky…"

Ye Wuque murmured the title repeatedly; those four characters alone made him feel an overwhelming, universe‑dominating supremacy!

He seemed to see three infinite, magnificent WorldShatteringExistence standing proud at the center of the cosmos, whose mere gestures could shade the sun and moon and set the heavens and earth!

"For our Ye Clan, the era of the Three Ye Soaring Across the Sky is an infinitely glorious, infinitely radiant epic that generations of descendants have sung and yearned for."

Ye Jinghong's voice carried unparalleled reverence: "It is precisely because of these three world‑shattering ancestors that our Ye Clan could ascend to the summit of the Nine Heavens Ten Earth and become the first family revered by all races! In later generations, to commemorate their supreme deeds and majesty, they were called… the Three Great Ancestors of our Ye Clan!"
