Ye Xuan visits his grandpa, Jiang Xuantong, who loudly proclaims his own uselessness. The old man reveals his regrets of neglecting cultivation in favor of various arts like alchemy and artifact refining. Ye Xuan suggests his daughter, Ye Sixing, can help the old man improve, much to Jiang Xuantong's confusion. Ye Xuan then demonstrates Ye Sixing's immense power by having her effortlessly move a divine mountain.

"Damn it, this is the divine manifestation of the Jiang Family’s Divine Mountain, even a Great Saint can’t move it!"

The old man was terrified by Ye Sixing’s move.

The location of the Jiang Family is a brand new world.

In this world, the existence of the Five Mountains is natural.

The manifestation of the Five Mountains is known as the Divine Mountain.

The mountain above the three of them right now is the manifestation of the Divine Mountain!

Rumble!

This action caused a direct upheaval in the Jiang Family.

It made countless powerful beings open their eyes, extending their Divine Sense to investigate the situation.

All around the three of them, powerful Divine Senses swept by.

"Jiang Xuantong, what trick are you playing?"

A powerful being rebuked.

The old man heard this and confidently responded: "What does it have to do with me, I’m a useless person."

The focus of these powerful beings shifted to Ye Xuan and Ye Sixing.

But Ye Xuan ignored them and instructed Ye Sixing to return the manifestation of the Divine Mountain.

The old man finally understood that this seemingly unassuming great-granddaughter possessed terrifying strength.

The manifestation of the Divine Mountain was passive, causing a stir in the Jiang Family.

Immediately, powerful beings came to inquire, but they were all sent away by Jiang Xuantong.

And the truly peerless powerhouses of the Jiang Family knew the reason for this, so they did not intervene.

Because they knew very well that Ye Xuan had no ill intentions.

Moreover, they also knew who Ye Xuan was.

The first peerless existence to walk the Emperor Road.

And related to the Jiang Family by kinship.

On the way here, he even killed that old turtle of the Liu Family, Liu Qingyuan.

After sending away the inquisitors, the old man looked at Ye Xuan with suspicion: "Aren’t you staying with Grandpa?"

"In this Jiang Family, are there others you know?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said: "I’ll just wander around, will come see you in a bit."

The old man heard this, half-believing it.

Of course, the more important thing was to see if his great-granddaughter could really guide him.

Ye Xuan walked among the clouds alone.

The powerful beings of the Jiang Family saw Ye Xuan acting alone and had some misgivings; eventually, a Great Saint Realm second rank ancestor of the Jiang Family appeared to accompany Ye Xuan.

"Young Master Ye."

Despite having kinship ties, this Jiang Family ancestor was very courteous to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said: "Who in the Jiang Family holds the position of Family Head now?"

The Jiang Family ancestor was instantly stunned; this was an internal matter of the Jiang Family and he was hesitant to speak on it, so he instead asked: "Is Young Master Ye looking for the Family Head?"

"Just asking casually."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

The Jiang Family ancestor hesitated for a moment, as if receiving someone’s permission, and said softly: "To tell you the truth, the current Family Head is from the branch of Young Master Ye’s grandfather, Jiang Xuantong. The Family Head is Jiang Xuantong’s father."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan didn’t say much.

He strolled around for a bit.

Saw the vast sea of clouds, saw the sun setting in the west, saw the beautiful peaks, saw the Nine Heavens Netherworld, saw...

Standing atop a cliff, facing a majestic starry sky.

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm.

"You don’t need to follow, I’m going to meet an old acquaintance."

The Jiang Family ancestor heard this and remained silent.

Only after receiving an order from a higher-level ancestor did he retreat obediently.

"Young Master Ye, I take my leave."

Ye Xuan did not take offense to this.

The people of the Jiang Family only knew of his two identities.

One was Ye Xuan.

The other was his connection to the Revenge Lineage.

But beyond that, the Jiang Family knew nothing.

This is why the Jiang Family had a sense of caution.

Of course.

Even though the Jiang Family ancestor departed, there was still surveillance on Ye Xuan in secret.

In the next moment.

Ye Xuan leapt across, flying towards the vast starry sky on the opposite cliff.

It was at this moment that Ye Xuan’s aura disappeared from the perception of all the Jiang Family’s powerful beings.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And with Ye Xuan’s disappearance, three figures immediately appeared out of thin air at his previous location. They silently gazed in the direction Ye Xuan disappeared.

A moment later.

The white-haired youth on the left softly said: "He went to the Ancestor Temple..."

"Meeting an old acquaintance at the Ancestor Temple, could it be to see that temple-guarding senior?"

"Perhaps..."

The conversation between the three was short.

And at this time.

Ye Xuan crossed the vast starry sky and arrived at an ancient temple.

Blue bricks and black tiles, white walls and green willows.

Here.

It was desolate, devoid of people.

Passing through round arched doors.

Crossing through屏风 screens.

Finally reaching the end.

There.

Incense smoke swayed.

In the courtyard.

A withered, one-armed old man leisurely sweeping leaves in the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, there was a Dragon Blood Tree that required ten people to hug it.

The branches of the Dragon Blood Tree were extraordinarily robust, like a group of Divine Dragons vying for the skies, intertwined.

It had a very rugged aura.

When Ye Xuan appeared.

The withered, one-armed old man paused in his actions.

He slowly turned his head to look at Ye Xuan.

The old man had only one eye.

And that eye did not resemble a human’s, but rather that of an eagle’s, sharp beyond compare.

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the old man, and in a soft voice, he said: "After all these years, aren’t you tired of sweeping?"

As he spoke, wisps of black energy entwined around Ye Xuan’s side.

That scene struck the old man like a bolt, and then he knelt on one knee, respectfully saying: "Kuang Nu greets Emperor Ye."

Ye Xuan did not stop the old man and calmly said: "Have you sensed any anomalies?"

The old man nodded and responded: "To report to Emperor Ye, there might be great changes within the Jiang Family."

Ye Xuan nodded and said: "That’s exactly why I came."

The old man quickly lifted his head, then lowered it again: "Understood."

Ye Xuan did not further acknowledge the old man, stepping past the enormous Dragon Blood Tree and into the innermost sanctuary of the temple.

Inside the temple, tributes to the Jiang Family’s ancestors were laid.

They were everywhere around.

It seemed like a world of ancestral tablets.

And at the farthest, highest place, there was the largest tablet.

On it was written the name of the Jiang Family’s Ancestor Jiang Yan.

The incense burned vigorously indeed.

Ye Xuan had no intention of offering incense.

He was the master of Jiang Yan, and a master has no reason to offer incense to a disciple.

Besides.

Jiang Yan may not be dead.

Many of his disciples were in uncertain life or death situations.

Until it’s confirmed, Ye Xuan would not acknowledge their death.

Like Ling Jin, Lie Tian, Chu Dong...

After standing there for a while.

Ye Xuan turned and left.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said: "Emperor Ye, does Kuang Nu need to accompany you?"

Ye Xuan walked on without turning his head and said: "No need for now, if there’s a great change, I will summon you."

"Understood!"

Ye Xuan left.

The old man respectfully watched him off.

Walking out of the Jiang Family’s Ancestor Temple, Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm.

The Jiang Family ancestors spying in secret were a bit surprised to see Ye Xuan leave so quickly; they thought he’d stay a while longer.

Ye Xuan didn’t waste words, proceeding directly to where the Jiang Family resided.

To find Sixing and his grandfather.

The Jiang Family was vast.

How vast?

Its immensity could even rival that of a Great World.

But the living areas of the Jiang Family were not as immense.

A vast world is left for future generations to explore.

Living areas need only be suitable for cultivation.

This was Jiang Yan’s original intent when creating this world.
