<h4>1874 – Your Life History</h4>


    “Although retreating from the martial world for 100,000 years is a very long time, I had the Seven Golden Lotuses outside to defend the holynd of Chaotic City and save a ce to restart my foundation. But, the Heaven’s Leaf n itself waited outside of the martial world. Because we had seven links to the world and hadpletely brokenmunications, we didn’t expect to be able to take part in the five region’s dirty business. Furthermore, in this 100,000 years, we could uninterruptedly birth heirs, producing generations upon generations of descendants. Generations upon generations of power struggles with the winner crowned king and the loser vilified, generations upon generations to evolve into a genuine super family n...”


    Ye Hongchen looked at Ye Xiao and said, “Although I have the ability of a monarch, I don’t have the talent. This is something innate and not something I can achieve with effort, therefore I can only entrust my desire for a monstrous talent to the Ye family’s descendants.”


    Ye Xiao still kept silent.


    “Through all these 100,000 years, the Ye family descendants thought I was in seclusion looking for a breakthrough to increase my strength, so much so that people suspected I had suffered a serious injury in my battle with the ze Sky King and was striving to preserve what strength I had. They didn’t know, I always paid attention to all the changes in the Ye family, all the ups and downs, from a detached point of view. No matter what happened, no matter what disaster appeared, I never interfered, merely watching on from the sidelines.”


    “Finally, 3000 years ago, there emerged two exceedingly superb talents in the Ye Family,” Ye Hongchen said lightly. “One was called Ye Geyin, the other Ye Wubo. Ye Geyin was a naturally heroic and virtuous character, but Ye Wubo was a matchlessly ambitious and ruthless character. I don’t know if it was individuality or ego in the n in the past, perhaps overcautiousness in matters, but there were very few who emerged in the n with such a ruthless personality.”


    “From seclusion I watched as these two grew up, and as expected they gradually divided into two groups in the family. Ye Wubo was fierce and ambitious to the point of not recognizing his own family and achieved his ce through vicious and merciless means. On the other hand, Ye Geyin actually fell in love and gained a wife. Gradually Ye Geyin grew tired of warring. I think, at that time, if Ye Wubo had merely taken a step back and used some scheme to slowly gain power, he could have taken over effortlessly.”


    “What a pity, though, that the road of a tyrant never believes in chance, resulting in the two groups having a decisive battle. En... that one battle wasn’t a battle as much as a massacre. That day, precisely on the day that Ye Geyin’s son was born, everyone was gathered together to celebrate. No one anticipated that the liquor at the banquet contained deadly poison, and overnight everyone was murdered to thest person. Ye Geyin’s wife and children died on the spot while Ye Geyin had serious injuries and was able to escape with his son. At this time, Ye Wubo had seized the entire Ye family’s power.”


    Ye Hongchen said, “If the affair stopped at this, it is just the melodramatic story of one group’s power struggle, a story with the winner crowned king and the loser vilified. Who could have imagined, though, that half a yearter, the fugitive Ye Geyin and his son unexpectedly came across the Heaven Fate Tree. Ye Geyin picked the Heaven Fate fruit and ate it, his cultivation level rising to Undead Peak suddenly...”


    Ye Xiao’s mouth twitched, in his heart he endlessly mocked, ‘Can you drop it, eh? This isn’t melodramatic! It’s simply nothingpared to previously!’ He couldn’t help recalling his time drinking Heaven Fate Tea with Young Master Bai on that day, though. He remembered it was their first meeting, receiving his Heaven Fate Tea. Though this tea birthed a different reaction, he wasn’t sure if both trees were the same! Hearing that Ye Geyin’s cultivation level skyrocketed to Undead Peak convinced him that it was quite possibly true, however.


    “Ye Geyin’s sudden increase in strength allowed him to make aeback, and with one sword he killed Ye Wubo’s group cleanly, down to thest chicken and dog. Finally, he hung Ye Wubo on a tree, yed his skin off, hacked off his limbs, and gave him death by a thousand cuts!”


    “However, after solving this animosity, rather than feeling relieved and pleased Ye Geyin felt even emptier, as if everything was illusory and unimportant. This was actually the hidden cost of eating the Heaven Fate Fruit. While it’s true that you can receive the energy of Undead Peak from the fruit, you don’t receive the corresponding enlightenment. In such a case, you gradually conform to Heaven’s Will and enter a state unmoved by sentiment and desires. Although you achieve an undying body, you lose your heart and feelings as a person!”


    “Fortunately the time since Ye Geyin had taken the fruit was still short. In response to this unusual condition, he made the decision to leave his heart in ce. He used his entire essence blood, his lifetime of cultivation, and the Heaven Fate Cultivation method to pass everything on to his infant son. He even tore the fabric of space and time to deliver his son to a lower realm. He didn’t want to have his son grow up in the power struggles of the family n. It would be better to send his son off to the lower realm and leave it to the child to emerge or perish on his own.”


    “At that time, he said, ‘If my son can survive, he will precisely be a happyughing person. If my son can’t survive, it is the will of Heaven that makes it so.’ And so, he left a message for his final gift, giving his son the name... Xiao (smile).”


    Ye Hongchen looked at Ye Xiao, saying, “This is precisely your life story.”


    Ye Xiao’s hands had already clenched into fists at some point. His eyes desired to split, but he still stood there silently with lips bitten and blood dripping.


    Originally, it all came back to the Heaven Fate Fruit. Furthermore... previously Old Guan had used the inheritance technique correctly and was not mistaken, Ye Xiao was indeed of the Ye Family bloodline.


    “That time, I also finallyprehended a matter rather unexpectedly,” Ye Hongchen said, tiredly gazing far off into the distance over Ye Xiao’s head.


    Ye Xiao indifferently said, “Old Man Ye’sprehensions are surely truly many, one can see that his perception is marvelous and gasp in amazement.”


    That this old ancestor could look on indifferently as his own descendants mutually ughtered each other repelled Ye Xiao fully.


    In a sinking voice, Ye Hongchen continued, “This time, I actually clearlyprehended the roots of our family.”


    “Family roots?” Ye Xiao said involuntarily.


    These words were quite out of Ye Xiao’s expectation and he was quite surprised.


    “Yes, family roots. As themon saying said well, if you desire to be immortal, you must first behave with integrity. Climb the mountain of 10,000 zhang step by step, the tree reaches 1000 zhang, all things go back to the source,” Ye Hongchen said. “By one’s self, one must experience innumerable tribtions from tiny beginnings and walk up step by step ten thousand li into the sky, in this way one’s life can be consideredplete and magnificent.”


    “But, my Ye family had only the supreme family n atmosphere to grow in, and lost the opportunities of the low level nes. Without this experience, the shorings were veryrge...”


    “Mooncks yet is not full, feelingsck yet having regrets, a life deficient of one experience makes the road forward seldom easy.”


    Ye Hongchen said, “These things, perhaps at the moment it is still hard for you to understand clearly, but one day you will.”
