Chapter 1554: Bloodline Test
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Xiao blandly said, “People tell stories, but they are eventually forgotten. The pen that writes history is sharper than a knife. It writes stories and creates legends. There are books that have recorded the stories of great people like you. When I was drinking with Master Guan and the other old masters, I got to know the Seven Golden Lotuses and the Heaven’s Leaf. After that, I have been collecting information. I guess it wasn’t a waste of time in the end.
“After collecting enough information, according to the information, I roughly know the personalities of the seven great cultivators of the Seven Golden Lotuses... In fact, if my information is correct, I even know how many wives they had and what they feared for... Let’s say I know many personal things about them...”
Ye Xiao blandly smiled.
Everybody saw the gloating behind the bland smile. What he meant was obvious. ‘I even know their personal issues, which means I surely know those big events about you!’
“Forgetting is a man’s nature. All men forget. A hero is a hero. The story of a hero will be forgotten, but there is something that can keep the stories, which is a history book.”
Ye Xiao smiled and said, “There are some ancient books that have recorded the stories of the heroes in the old days. People should remember the heroes! People who have no great ambition will never step on the road beyond clouds.”
Master Yun was shocked. As he looked at Ye Xiao, he was touched. In his eyes, there was fire.
‘People who have no great ambition will never step on the road beyond clouds!’
The ancestor of the Yun Clan was Yun Duanlu. The name Yun Duanlu meant the road beyond clouds.
What Ye Xiao said was a famous saying of Yun Duanlu. The ancestor made it the creed of his clan to warn his descendants, from generation to generation.
There was a story about that saying too. Yun Duanlu’s brothers got to know the creed, and they all thought that it sounded like he was showing his own weakness to people.
Stepping on the road beyond the clouds was fine. It was not a problem to encourage others to do so. However, because the man who said so was named Yun Duanlu, it was a problem. How could Yun Duanlu, their brother, be stepped on by anybody?
However, Yun Duanlu explained to his brothers and said, “A road is a road. Even though it is beyond the clouds, it is still just a road. People have to step on it, and it has to be stepped on. I am not belittling myself because I am not exactly a road. It is just the truth! However, not every man can walk on the road beyond clouds. Not every man could step on me, Yun Duanlu.”
That happened in the ancient days. Even people in the Yun Clan didn’t know the story because the story was too old. Even the old Master Yun did not know the full story either.
However, what surprised Master Yun was that Ye Xiao, a young man, actually knew about it, and he actually heard the story from the young man’s mouth.
Ye Xiao had just gotten the seven masters’ names a few days earlier. Within such a short time, he actually dug out all the information! It was astonishing!
At the moment, Master Yun was frightened and shocked, and he couldn’t calm himself down easily.
Yue Youyou made a long sigh.
After a while, he talked to Ye Xiao again and said, “Ye Xiao, Monarch Ye, my six brothers asked me to come and solve this problem today. I will do the Bloodline Jade Plate test again. Do you have a problem with it?”
Ye Xiao heard him and then laughed and said, “There is no need to do it. Why bother? It will be just a waste of time. I am never even close to the Great Ye Clan, and I have never thought I was from the beginning! No matter what this is about, I can’t shamelessly recognize somebody else as my ancestor, can I? I am not that hopeless!”
Yue Youyou blandly said, “That is open-minded. However, it concerns the future of the Seven Golden Lotuses. The seven clans have to stick together, and this is something we must do to reach the same conclusion. We need proof, and we have to do this. Please, forgive me.”
Ye Xiao bitterly smiled and said, “Please, don’t be sorry. I am flattered. What can I say? I am too weak to make the decision here. Even if I said no, nothing would change. My opinion doesn’t matter. The bigger fist has a bigger power. My opinion doesn’t matter, so I guess the only choice I have is to accept it. Go on then.”
Yue Youyou was surprised, and then he nodded. After that, he took out a jade plate which was completely white like snow from his pocket. As he operated his energy from inside his body, the jade plate started to shine in colorful lights. Nobody saw the white color of it anymore.
After a while, the lights slowly blacked out, and it was a normal jade plate again.
He held the jade plate in one hand and made a step ahead. Suddenly, his eyes turned sharp. His face turned dark. It seemed he saw something somewhere far away that he didn’t feel good about, so he humphed strongly!
“Humph!”
That humph sounded like a thunderclap, shaking the entire place.
With that shocking sound, it seemed the energy of the entire world was gathering over to this place!
Even though the energy flow was so incredibly powerful, nobody in the Monarch’s Hall sensed it. However, those who were on their way to the Monarch’s Hall were affected. They were some itinerant cultivator and people of other forces, who were coming over to the Monarch’s Hall after getting to know something interesting was happening in the Monarch’s Hall. They felt like a huge mountain was falling down on them at the same time.
Those who were flying in the sky got hit by the powerful energy wave that was oppressive like a huge mountain, and they fell to the ground!
All those who got hit started to spit out blood as if they would die the next second! Blood came out from their mouth and nose, and their inner organs were severely damaged.
Within hundreds of miles, nobody was able to stand up again!
“Go away!”
Yue Youyou shouted.
Ye Xiao and some men sent out their spiritual mind to check what was happening outside.
All they could see was that around the Monarch’s Hall, within hundreds of miles, a lot of men were flying backward, moving fast away from the Monarch’s Hall.
They seemed to be kicked away.
In three hundred miles from the Monarch’s Hall, all cultivators were cleaned out. Animals and other living creatures were all killed!
The death of all the living creatures was not the most astonishing thing. There were some ordinary people in the area other than cultivators, animals, and other living creatures!
However, these people, who knew nothing about cultivation, did not hear anything or feel anything. The horrible power wave did not affect these ordinary people at all.
That power wave was incredible, unbelievable, and horrible.
With a shout, the entire area was shaking, and the sky and earth were changed! How magnificent!
“What a great power, ancestor!”
People of the seven clans all knelt down and started shaking.
Since the Great Master Ye lost the fight back to the old days and disappeared from the world, the seven ancestors of the seven clans refused to step on the soil of the martial world again. Yue Youyou hadn’t made a strike like this for a long time. As he casually made such an incredible strike to this area, the world was shocked. It was legendary... Nobody could have even imagined things like this.
Yue Youyou slowly sighed. His peaceful heart was shaken.
He wouldn’t have done this, but he had a slight flame of anger in his heart on this day.
‘Why?’
He didn’t want to think about it. He pointed at Ye Yunduan, but Ye Yunduan didn’t notice it. From Ye Yunduan’s forehead, a drop of blood came out and flew over to the jade plate.
The blood moved extremely slowly.
It was getting closer and closer to the jade plate.
Yue Youyou blandly said, “There are two methods to use the Bloodline Jade Plate of the Great Ye Clan. First, when the descendant is close to the jade plate, it turns hot and red. It happened twice. First, when it was close to Ye Xiao and second when it got close to Ye Yunduan. The sign proved a man’s identity as the descendant of the Ye Clan. That is why we thought Ye Xiao was the descendant, and the four clans did much to support him.”
“Second, we can use the other method... The blood of the Great Ye Clan echoes with the jade plate. When the blood goes along the jade plate, Brother Ye’s image will appear.”
As people heard what he said, people were all filled with deep esteem.
Ye Yunduan was too.
Except for Yue Youyou, none of these people had ever seen Ye Hongchen.
Ye Hongchen was a legend, an epic hero!
Nobody had thought that they could see Ye Hongchen on this day. The Great Master Ye, who was as powerful as the five sky kings.
Ye Yunduan’s blood was getting closer to the jade plate. The jade plate was in the air, and it started to turn red... Other than that, it started to emit heat! It was real.
Ye Clan’s Blood; Red Sky!
The second method to test the bloodline wasn’t finished yet, but the first one was already done. The jade plate had turned red and hot!
Ye Xiao was staring at the Bloodline Jade Plate. He seemed to be calm, but both of his hands had made fists.
He clearly felt his heart beating fast. He wanted to shout out to vent the grudge, and it was harder and harder to hold the impulse.
He could feel the desperation!
The blood was moving slowly, and it would eventually touch the jade plate. When the blood just touched the jade plate, the jade plate shined an enormous blow of red light. An energy flow suddenly covered the entire world!
Everybody felt like kneeling down to kowtow!
In the red light, the shadow of a man appeared.
The man was wearing a purple robe, standing right up in the void. The image was getting closer and closer until it finally revealed the man’s face.
It was a handsome young man with pretty eyebrows, like two straight swords pointing to two sides of the sky. His eyes were profound and deep like the years were passing through them. It felt like time was like nothing to him!
“Brother Ye, it has been quite a while!” Yue Youyou couldn’t stay calm anymore. He knew that it was just the image of his old brother, yet he was still thrilled. He stepped forward, and his eyes held tears.
‘It has been a hundred thousand years, Brother Ye!’
Ye Yunduan made a sigh.
He was the descendant of the Great Ye Clan, and he believed nothing would change. As the image of his great ancestor appeared, he was still nervous. After a while, he finally calmed down.
Ye Hongchen’s image appeared in the sky for just a few seconds and then became some purple smoke scattering away.
“Ye Yunduan is the descendant of the Great Ye Clan.” Ye Yunduan took a deep breath and said.
The others must be soaked into the enormous power because none of them heard that Yue Youyou’s voice was weird.
Yue Youyou was a little disappointed.
Master Guan knelt on the floor, and he looked hopeless.
Yue Youyou looked at Ye Xiao and pointed out a finger.
Ye Xiao sighed and closed his eyes. He said, “It is what it is. There is no need to do any test again. The Great Ye Clan will never send two descendants out for this... I am not a descendant of the Great Ye Clan. Master Yue, it is enough. Don’t you agree? Do you want to humiliate me again?”
Yue Youyou stopped in shock.
He looked at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was talking to him helplessly like a man without a soul. Yue Youyou was upset.
He didn’t spend much time with Ye Xiao, but he liked this young man a lot!
As Ye Xiao said, the Great Ye Clan wouldn’t send two descendants to fight each other. It was enough to test one man!
Yue Youyou knew it, but he really liked Ye Xiao. The Bloodline Jade Plate showed a sign before anyway. Yue Youyou still hoped that things were not as people expected. Perhaps, Ye Xiao was a descendant of the Great Ye Clan, too. Perhaps, Ye Xiao didn’t know it for some reason!
Yue Youyou knew that it was almost impossible, but he still wanted to try it for Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao gave up. As Ye Xiao said, if Yue Youyou insisted, it would be a humiliation to Ye Xiao!
Yue Youyou made a sigh and took over the Bloodline Jade Plate.
When he took the jade plate back, he felt bored and upset.
‘Why should we push everything to the edge? Why should anybody humiliate him to the edge? Isn’t that enough?’
‘This is it. The truth is the truth. We all saw it coming. Why am I so anxious? Why am I so annoyed? Why am I angry?’
