Chapter 6 The Invincible Flesh and Blood

On a roof of an attic in Ye Mansion, Ye Yun was lying there, watching the blue sky.

Completing those astonishing actions, Ye Yun did not feel any happiness or regret. On the contrary, he was quite calm. He was not a fool. He needed to cut off everything to get an impetus.

"Youngster."

When Ye Yun was watching the birds flying through the clouds, the ancient voices of uncle Han haunted his ears and mind. Ye Yun sat up with great excitement and respect. He replied, "Uncle Han."

"Today's members of Ye Clan... Well, no one is reliable. I'm so angry and disappointed. If Ye Clan continues like that, it will either be merged by other clans or be exterminated. Where was the powerful Ye Clan thousand years ago?" Uncle Han sighed deeply.

Knowing the cultivation base of uncle Han, Ye Yun couldn't help asking, "I suppose that we must be powerful in the past."

Uncle Han felt proud and said, "Of course! Three thousand years ago, the Ye Clan then was one of the ancient clans. And we also built a dynasty. The current Dynasty of Baiyu was once our land."

"Wow... Our Ye Clan was the master of a dynasty three thousand years ago!" Ye Yun was completely shocked.

"Of course! The emperor of Ye Clan then, an elder of Xuanwu School, possessing the cultivation base of Celestial Immortal, was one of the emperors in negligible quantity on the Ziyu Continent."

"Ziyu Continent? I don't understand."

Uncle Han explained patiently, "We are living on a floating continent called Ziyu. The Dynasty of Baiyu is just one of the numerous dynasties in this continent, and every emperor is conferred by Xuanwu School and Lanfeng Sect. Ah, Lanfeng Sect is also a sect of cultivation. Although it is weaker than Xuanwu School, the power behind is sharp. In general, the School of Xuanwu is in charge of the most part of the Ziyu Continent and sets up many dynasties. Above the emperors, there are lords of the land. Beneath the emperors, there are castellans. They are almost all disciples selected internally by Xuanwu School so that they could absolutely rule every dynasty. Xuanwu School strictly controls the place and methods of cultivation. The cultivator could only learn step by step. Even the elders should obey that, especially the method of foundation building. For example, your father could become the Earth Immortal if he could cultivate that. But it is controlled by Xuanwu School. Others could not get that."

"I see!" What uncle Han said greatly widened Ye Yun's horizon. He pondered for a while and asked, "Uncle Han, all cultivators aim only at cultivating. You once said that power, money and even statues meant nothing to them. But why does Xuanwu School still set up so many dynasties to intervene in the life of mortals? To maintain the order?"

"Well, that's a good question. You've got the point." Uncle Han seemed in a good mood and praised him. "There must be some reasons. Originally, the cultivation went against the rules of heaven. So, cultivators needed to get rid of every extra thing, including emotions. Xuanwu School did have its reasons to intervene with the mortals. And those reasons were quite stealthy, and even had some connections with the decline of our Ye Clan."

"What?" The answer triggered Ye Yun's curiosity. He wanted to ask more, but he didn't dare to.

Uncle Han said again, "Three thousand years ago, our Ye Clan was in the period of great prosperity. Emperor of a dynasty. The master of the world. However, there is no everlasting dynasty and eternal sect. Everything would change."

Ye Yun asked in reply, "Isn't cultivation for the longevity of becoming the immortal?"

Uncle Han hesitated a while and then praised Yu Yun, "Good boy! Aim high with determination. Right, this is the most important fortune for cultivators. I really can't wait anymore. Starting from tomorrow, I will teach you the method to repair your body."

Ye Yun was extremely happy. But he frowned suddenly, "Uncle Han, the dantian of my father was shattered by others. Could you repair that?"

"No. Dantian is the source. The method could only focus on some small questions." "Uncle Han disappointed Ye Yun.

Ye Yun felt deeply despaired. He put his last hope on uncle Han, but...

It seemed that uncle Han could see Ye Yun's expressions and read his mind. Uncle Han said again, "But there is still one way. There is an elixir in Xuanwu School, called Derived Elixir. It could help people cultivate again."

Derived Elixir!

Ye Yun felt suddenly energetic and asked anxiously, "Derived Elixir? Uncle Han, you once cultivated in Xuanwu School and you are superior Celestial Immortal. I suppose you must be able to refine the Derived Elixir."

At that moment, Ye Yun put all his hope on uncle Han. The mysterious uncle Han seemed omnipotent from his perspective.

"What a pity... I can't. I was expelled by Xuanwu School before I got the chance the learn that. Besides, Derived Elixir is the top-one treasure for them. How could they easily teach others to refine that? As far as I knew, only the elders of Xuanwu are qualified to know the formula of Derived Elixir. The emperors of Ye Clan then did not have the ability."

"Only for elders of Xuanwu?" At that moment, Ye Yun experienced the shortness of breath and said something that shocked uncle Han. "I will join Xuanwu School, becoming the elder and get the formula."

"Young man! But... I appreciate you. In the future, I will help you with cultivation. This is not only for you but also for the Ye Clan because I'm one of you."

After hearing that, Ye Yun's heartbeat fastened, and he felt excited. However, he also thought of another problem, "But how could I get into Xuanwu School? They only accept disciples according to the recommendation from the clans. Besides, I have failed once. They would never give me another chance. I'm not the kind of remarkable genius."

"That's easy. Create an incident to show your talent and let them come to you. For example, you could reach Earth Immortal within several years. Then they would definitely come to you. But the risk of this way is high. Some powerhouses may find out the existence of me. Or, you could kill a disciple in Xuanwu and then change into his look. This way is more practical. Back in those old days, I specialized in such things. I often sneaked into Xuanwu School and stole their treasure.

"Eh..."

Ye Yun felt chilly and creepy. It seemed that someone was peeping behind. He had a new impression on uncle Han.

"Just do it! We'd better find the one who has been accepted but hasn't joined in formally. It would be easier to muddle through. OK, enough. From now on, you need to settle down to cultivate. I will teach you 'the Invincible Flesh and Blood'."

"The Invincible Flesh and Blood!" Ye Yun was suddenly in high spirits.

"Thanks to Xuanwu School. If it were not for them kicking me out, I would never cultivate such an amazing method. Although the price is high, the result is rewarding. Age matters much for mortals because they could only live for several decades. However, the cultivator could live for millions of years. If I could live my life to the fullest, there is no harm to live a short life."

"Uncle Han!" Feeling the unworldly courage of uncle Han, Ye Yun couldn't help trembling and was filled with awe and excitement.

"The Invincible Flesh and Blood is a kind of crooked means. It has three levels. The first level is to scatter the blood. The second level is to dissolve the blood. And the third level is the blood body. After the cultivator finishes the cultivation, his strength would improve as he levels up. Then he could use the Qi of your blood to repair his dantian and even regrow his dantian, stronger than the ordinary people."

"Amazing! The Invincible Flesh and Blood!"

Uncle Han dampened the enthusiasm of Ye Yun, saying that: "Everything has its weakness. This magical method has fatal weaknesses. One is the age and the other is the pain. Only the cultivator could truly understand such pain."

Reminding of the helplessness when defeated by Qin Ming, the miserable situation of his father, and the burning shame of the disengagement with Yan Linlang, Ye Yun firmly nodded and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry. I have prepared for that. I would not say a word even if I need to cut my own hands and feet. As far as I could cultivate and father could rebuild his dantian, I could do everything."

"Fine, we can start it tomorrow."

"No, start it tonight." Ye Yun said. Then uncle Han didn't say anymore for a long time.

Unconsciously, it was at dust. Ye Yun stared at this world of yellow, inspired by the broadness of the world again. He never felt that again after his cultivation based was destroyed.

"Go find the childe! Master and elders are angry!"

Suddenly, there came an urgent call from the servants below.

"It must be a disengagement affair. Come on. I will take everything. Nothing could hurt me now." Ye Yun took a deep breath and jumped down the roof.

In the bedroom, Ye Yuan sat with his back against the pillow. Beside him were Ye Wentian, Ye Xinghe, Ye He, and other young managers of Ye Clan. Ye Yuan clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "How dare he? What was he thinking?"

"Ye Yun is too childish! How dare he write the paper of disengagement to Yan Clan? It is clear that he would go against Yan Clan!" Ye He showed a strange expression in his face and sneered.

Ye Xinghe shook his head, "Yan Clan may not make difficulties for us obviously, but in secret... It would be tough for us Ye Clan in the future."

"But I think Ye Yun was right. He brought face to our clan!" At that moment, Ye Wentian suddenly praised Ye Yun loudly.

Ye Xinghe and Ye He shrugged their shoulders and shut their mouths. But they were still pushy.

"Father. Elders."

With the light steps coming near, Ye Yun came to the room and saluted to everyone respectfully.

"Kneel!"

Before others said anything, Ye Yuan seriously shouted loudly.

Dong!

Ye Yun kneeled without hesitation. He bowed his head without saying a word. At that moment, Ye Yun could hear every heartbeat of him and the breath of everyone present.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "According to the rules, anyone reaching sixteen needs to work for the clan. Ye Yun, you will be sent to Qingyang Town. And you could not leave there without permission. This is the last order I would give as the leader. From now on, I will not be the leader of Ye Clan. Now, leave here."

"Father, it's my fault!" With tears in his eyes, Ye Yun kowtowed three times towards Ye Yuan. He stood up and wiped his tears, determinedly looked at three elders, "Don't worry. I will accept the consequences of my doing. I would be responsible for my own fault no matter how heinous it will be and never pass that to Ye Clan."

Ye He was angry, "Impenitent!"

Ye Xinghe sneered, "Untrainable!"

Under the scoff and insult of people, Ye Yun left the room with tears.

At that moment, tears ran down the pale face of Ye Yuan.
