Starting Reward – A Three Thousand Assassin Network

Chapter 47 – Ye Chen’s Gift

Listening to Ye Chen’s words, Ye Dingtian now had a new goal in his heart, which was to make the Ye family flourish.

In the future, the Ye family would no longer be a part of the Great Xia Dynasty but would transform into the Ye Clan, a martial family.

“Since you, Chen’er, have plans in mind, I naturally cannot fall behind.” Ye Dingtian stood up, his gaze directed towards the direction of the imperial city.

“You’re right; it’s time for the Ye family and the Xia family to settle their accounts. Now that Xia Cangyun is seriously injured, we should strike first. Do you have confidence in this? Keep in mind that he still controls the Great Xia Vermilion Bird, a heavenly artifact!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen slightly raised his lips, “As long as he hasn’t broken through to the Sage Realm, I’m ninety-nine percent sure. Even if he reaches the Sage Realm, there’s still a fifty percent chance! Therefore, our Ye family has always stood on unbeatable ground!”

“Unbeatable ground, haha, excellent!” Ye Dingtian laughed heartily while feeling increasingly shocked in his heart. Even his Grandson’s hidden methods could deal with a Sage Realm expert.

The Sage Realm is the second step for martial artists to transcend ordinary humans, and despite being just the second step, it represents a whole new realm. In the path of martial arts, the higher the realm, the greater the gap.

It’s worth noting that there hasn’t been a Sage Realm expert in nearly a thousand years. The martial sects with a history of nearly a thousand years have only produced founders who established their sects.

Breaking through the Transcendent Realm allows a martial artist to live for three hundred years, while reaching the Sage Realm extends their lifespan to five hundred years. In other words, a Sage Realm expert, if not killed, can live for eight hundred years.

Martial cultivation is more like body refinement. Breaking through each physical limitation grants immense power and simultaneously increases one’s lifespan.

“Today’s visit has been quite rewarding! You, little brat, have prepared such a big surprise for the Ye family, even catching me off guard!” Ye Dingtian looked at Ye Chen with a smile, growing fonder of him with each passing moment. “With this Qilin child (a mythical animal deemed auspicious. It’s also attributed to an exceptionally talented descendant), the Ye family has truly accumulated three hundred years of virtue!”

If Ye Chen could hear his Grandfather’s thoughts, he would undoubtedly disdain them.

Qilin? What is that?

Even a true dragon can only be my mount!

A Qilin, just a carriage!

To Ye Dingtian’s words, Ye Chen smiled with a hint of mockery, “Hehe, just a small trick, not worth mentioning!”

Saying this, he reached into his pocket and took out a fruit emitting a red glow, handing it to Ye Dingtian, “Grandpa, this fruit is called Blood Bodhi. It can heal injuries, and if there are no injuries, it can increase one’s cultivation by a hundred years. However, there’s a flaw – using a second one will only heal injuries and won’t increase power.”

“What!” Ye Dingtian took the Blood Bodhi, examining it carefully with astonishment in his eyes.

“Just this small fruit can really increase one’s cultivation by a hundred years?” Ye Dingtian asked.

Ye Chen nodded, “Of course, don’t be fooled by its small size. It absorbs the blood of a Qilin during its growth, making it extremely precious!”

“Qilin’s blood! That’s a mythical beast!” Ye Dingtian was once again shocked.

At this moment, he felt a bit numb. He thought he had touched upon Ye Chen’s core secret, but now it seemed that there was still a long way to go. Just this fruit alone had astonished him.

Regarding the origin of these precious treasures, Ye Dingtian didn’t ask. Ye Chen had his reasons for not disclosing them, and besides, Ye Chen carried the blood of the Ye family in his veins, which was sufficient.

“Well, well! With this fruit, your old man should be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm!” Ye Dingtian looked at the Blood Bodhi in his hand, but instead of thinking about using it for himself, he immediately thought of his son.

“Grandpa, although this fruit is extremely precious, I have plenty in my possession. You can use it yourself. As for Father, let him accumulate for a while. Once he breaks through, he will go even further!” Ye Chen spoke indifferently, “In addition, I have prepared gifts for my elder brothers and sister!”

Saying this, Ye Chen once again reached into his pocket, pulling out three martial arts manuals: “Heavenly Frost Fist,” “Cloud Clearing Palm,” and “Wind God Legs!”

He handed these three manuals to Ye Dingtian.

Looking at the three martial arts manuals Ye Chen handed over, Ye Dingtian was somewhat puzzled. The Ye family never lacked martial arts manuals, and besides, he cultivated the family’s top-tier technique, the “Martial artist Heaven Technique.”

“Grandpa, these three manuals correspond to three different realms. They represent the most original forces between heaven and earth. If two of these realms can perfectly merge, a completely new technique will be condensed – the ‘Three-Element Returning Yuan Qi.’”

“These three manuals correspond to three different realms, representing the most fundamental powers between heaven and earth. If two of these realms can perfectly merge, a formidable power called ‘Moko Infinite’ will be generated. Once this power is unleashed, it will increase one’s strength twentyfold. The deeper the understanding of the realms, the greater the increase in strength.”

“Eldest brother is named Xiao Yun, second brother is named Qing Feng, and elder sister is named Xue. I don’t know if this is fate, but I have a premonition that these three manuals will greatly help them!”

Listening to Ye Chen’s words, Ye Dingtian took the three manuals and carefully placed them in his embrace.

For a technique that could increase one’s strength by dozens of times, he had never heard of it before. Even the Great Xia Vermilion Bird Heart Sutra in the royal family could only increase strength by a few times at most.

“Grandpa, when you have the time, you can practice the Three-Element Returning Yuan Qi. I believe it will be helpful for you, as it directly comprehends the elemental attributes of heaven and earth!

“Formless Clouds, Boundless Water, Shapeless Ice, Untamed Flame, Whispering Snowfall, Echoing Thunder.

“These are the seven most fundamental forces between heaven and earth. Any understanding of one of them will unleash ten times one’s own strength.

“While the Ye family’s inherited techniques are powerful, they may not be suitable for inheritance. Understanding the great Dao of heaven and earth will lead to a more stable, smoother, and farther path.”

“I see!” Ye Dingtian only now understood the tremendous power of the Vermilion Bird Heart Sutra.

The Vermilion Bird, born of fire, as a divine beast between heaven and earth, Xia Wu certainly comprehended the fire attribute, allowing him to become a peak expert of the Ten Extremities.

At this moment, he realized how precious the three manuals in his hands were.

As for why Ye Chen didn’t cultivate the Three-Element Returning Yuan Qi, comprehending the three realms, it was because the Sacred Heart Technique he cultivated was more powerful. Among them, there was a technique called the “Seven-No Extremes,” a body technique.

Once he used the Seven-No Extremes, he could transform his body into particles, reassembling at any location, avoiding all attacks. It was incredibly strong.

In terms of attack techniques, he possessed the Sage Heart Four Techniques and the Sage Heart Four Calamities.

Sage Heart Four Techniques: Frozen Sky Extremes, Profound Ice Extremes, Thousand Rens Piercing Clouds, Emperor Sky Frenzied Thunder.

Sage Heart Four Calamities: Astonishing Gaze Calamity, Nether Blood Calamity, Heaven-Heart Calamity, Divine Spirit Calamity.

“Chen’er, now that we have the Blood Bodhi and these three techniques, I should go back and make some plans. By now, Xiao Yun and Qing Feng, those two boys, should have returned.” Ye Dingtian looked at the sky, which was already dimming.

“I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly; a whole day has gone by!”

Ye Chen nodded, “Alright, I won’t keep you, Grandpa!”

Ye Dingtian waved his hand, “Haha, no problem, I’m leaving!”

With that, Ye Dingtian’s figure flashed and disappeared from the place, appearing a hundred feet away.

Watching his Grandfather leave, Ye Chen’s lips revealed a smile.

Muttering to himself, he said, “I wonder what kind of storm the wind and clouds of this world will stir up! It’s been some time since I last saw my big brother and second brother! If they can really match the Cloud Clearing Palm and Wind God Legs, and Snow Drink Mad Blade and Peerless Sword also find owners, then the Six Absolute Cold Extremes and Sage Spirit Sword Technique should shine in this world!”

Thinking about the two peerless divine weapons still collecting dust in the system’s warehouse, Ye Chen shook his head with a bitter smile.
