The first batch of nine people, including Ye Tianqiong, entered the Washing Sword Pond. At first, nothing was discernible, but as time passed, their expressions became painful. However, not a single person made a sound, and no one chose to give up. As half an hour was nearing its end, anomalies began to appear within the tower space.
A long river of time appeared, followed by the Grandmist's primordial separation, and then surrounded by pure Qi. These three anomalies were extremely magnificent. The remaining two anomalies were much smaller: one earth and one lightning, and then there were no more. After the nine people exited the Washing Sword Pond, Ye Xuan had the other nine enter, then opened the System panel and clicked on the character attribute column. Below him were the Eight Great Elders, all of whom possessed Supreme Sword Body. Further down were those who had just awakened:
Ye Tianqiong: Foundation Establishment Realm ninth level, Space-Time Sword Body (Supreme)
Ye Tianchen: Foundation Establishment Realm eighth level, Eternal Sword Body (Supreme)
Ye Tianzhan: Foundation Establishment Realm eighth level, Nirvana Sword Body (Supreme)
Ye Tianxin: Foundation Establishment Realm eighth level, Earth Sword Body (Extraordinary)
Ye Tiannan: Foundation Establishment Realm seventh level, Lightning Sword Body (Extraordinary)
The remaining four were all ordinary Sword Bodies. An ordinary Sword Body merely transforms one's Spiritual Root into a Physique most suitable for a Sword Cultivator, maximizing affinity for the Dao of the Sword and allowing for faster comprehension of the Dao of the Sword than ordinary Cultivators. There are no other special features.
An Extraordinary Sword Body has single-attribute enhancement, comes with Law attribute attacks, and comprehends the Dao of the Sword significantly faster than an ordinary Sword Body.
Needless to say, a Supreme Sword Body is a darling of the Great Dao. Every attack is accompanied by the Great Dao's blessing, with more blessings at higher Realms. It comprehends the Dao of the Sword several times, even more than ten times, faster than an Extraordinary Sword Body.
Ye Xuan was overjoyed after reading this. Three Supreme and two Extraordinary; with this, how could the Ye Family not prosper?
No Supreme Sword Body was born in the second and third rounds. In the fourth round, two Family members awakened Supreme Sword Body, namely:
Ye Tianyu awakened the Grand Cang Sword Body, and Ye Tianxing awakened the Void Realm Sword Body.
In the seventh round, Ye Tianzi awakened the Supreme Sword Body, Grand Yin Sword Body. By the time the last batch of the 'Tian' generation exited the Washing Sword Pond, five more people had awakened Supreme Sword Body, namely:
Ye Tianlin: Sky Sword Saint Body
Ye Tianhong: Divine Firmament Sword Body
Ye Tianshuang: Profound Ice Sword Body
Ye Tianyi: Sun Sword Body
Ye Tianyue: Grand Desolate Sword Body. A total of eleven people from the 'Tian' generation awakened Supreme Sword Body, thirty-five awakened Extraordinary Sword Body, and the remaining one hundred ninety-two were all ordinary Sword Bodies. Besides the Grand Elder, two others remained in Qing Shi City.
Next were the younger generation. There were a total of one hundred fifty-one people in the younger generation. After everyone had completed their Sword Body Awakening, Ye Xuan checked the System panel and saw that seven people had awakened Supreme Sword Body, namely Ye Qiyuan: Innate Sword Body,
Ye Qifan: Grandmist Sword Body,
Ye Qilan: Immaculate Sword Body,
Ye Qihao: Supreme Sword Body,
Ye Qiwen: Light Sword Body,
Ye Qiwu: Devouring Sword Body,
Ye Qizhi: Grand Luo Sword Body.
Among the rest, twenty-one awakened Extraordinary Sword Body, and one hundred twenty-three awakened ordinary Sword Body. At this point, the Sword Body Awakening concluded. Ye Xuan, unwilling to give up, asked the System, "System, can ordinary Family members without Spiritual Roots use the Washing Sword Pond?"
"Ding, no. Their bodies cannot withstand the Washing Sword Pond's baptism. They can only do so upon reaching the Qi Condensation Realm, which is the minimum threshold. If there is a special individual, I will remind the Host."
Ye Xuan was not disheartened, as he had only asked the System out of curiosity. Ye Xuan looked at the crowd and said to them, "You all should familiarize yourselves with your new Physiques within the tower. Once fully familiar, go to the Scripture Pavilion yourselves to change to our Ye Family's main Cultivation Technique, the 'Heaven And Earth Grand Profound Sword Scripture.' There are also several Sword Arts in the Scripture Pavilion that you can freely Cultivate."
After speaking, Ye Xuan exited the Chaos Dao Tower. Time inside was too slow; he needed to go out and wait for One Zero Two and One Zero Three to return with a large amount of Cultivation resources, as well as our Family's attire, so they could be distributed as quickly as possible to help the Family members improve themselves.
Ye Xuan returned to his Immortal Cave and opened the System panel to check the attributes of the Guardian Hall Sword Cultivators that had been unsealed. All eighteen of them possessed Extraordinary Sword Body.
As time passed, One Zero One and One Zero Two returned. After dropping off the resources, Ye Xuan sent them both to Qing Shi City to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Two people would rotate every month. When they returned, he would have the Grand Elder bring the two Family members who had not yet awakened their Sword Body.
Ten days passed after the Family members became familiar with their Physiques and changed their Cultivation Techniques. Besides the Eight Great Elders, twenty-seven people had already Broken Through to the Purple Mansion Realm, and one hundred seventy-nine were in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The next day, Ye Xuan gathered the Family members. In the plaza, Ye Xuan addressed them, saying, "From today onwards, all direct descendants of the Ye Family will receive ten times the amount of Cultivation resources as before. Every month, people from the Guardian Hall will lecture in the Family Grand Hall. If you have any questions, you may ask them. Without my permission, no Family member is allowed to leave the island."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he gave several spatial rings to the Elders. These rings contained various Cultivation resources, countless Medicinal Pills, Spirit Fruits, and Heaven And Earth Treasures, as well as one million High-Grade Spirit Stones. One ring was filled entirely with Family attire.
"Distribute all of these," Ye Xuan said before turning and leaving. In this way, the Ye Family members faded from the sight of the people of Qing Shi City. The surrounding cities saw no Ye Family members, and everyone assumed the Ye Family had been annihilated by some other powerful force.
As time passed, three months went by. On this day, a group of people arrived above Qing Shi City. Two figures stood at the front: an old man in a colorful robe and a young woman of eighteen or nineteen, with a graceful figure. Her tight-fitting long dress accentuated her curvaceous body. With Phoenix eyes and a high nose bridge, her lips slightly parted as she said, "Master, this is it. Below is the Ye Family."
The old man nodded slightly, looking at the Ye Family mansion. His Divine Sense enveloped the entire Ye Family. Indeed, there was a Nascent Soul first-level Cultivator and two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators. The Nascent Soul first-level Cultivator was precisely Fourth Elder Ye Cangfeng, who had just rotated in a few days ago. Ye Xuan had been Cultivating with the Family members in the Chaos Dao Tower for the past three months. The Chaos Dao Tower could continuously absorb Spirit Qi from the underground Spiritual Vein to sustain the Family members' Cultivation. Nearly two and a half years had passed inside, and his cultivation had advanced to the Nascent Soul sixth-level. The eight Elders had naturally reached the Nascent Soul first-level.
At this moment, Fan Ling'er stood suspended in the air above the Ye Family, clearly already in the Purple Mansion Realm. She amplified her voice with Spirit Qi and said, "Ye Family members, come out and face death!" As she spoke, a Spirit Qi palm print struck downwards.
A figure rushed into the air, waving his hand to obliterate the Spirit Qi palm print, and spoke, "Who are you people? Why are you attacking my Ye Family without reason?"
"Without reason? Open your dog eyes and see who I am!" Fan Ling'er said angrily, her full chest rising and falling.
Ye Cangfeng sized up Fan Ling'er and said, "Please forgive this old man's poor eyesight. Young lady, we have never met before."
"Fan Family's Fan Ling'er," Fan Ling'er said through gritted teeth.
Ye Cangfeng came to his senses. This was a revenge mission. He calmly said, "The Fan Family and two other major forces attacked my Ye Family, but were instead killed by us. The Ye Family never intended to annihilate anyone; we merely acted in self-preservation."
"Please, Master, destroy the Ye Family to avenge your disciple's Family members." Fan Ling'er did not want to say another word to the old man.
The old man also said nothing more, directly ordering, "Act." As his words fell, the people behind him did not move. When he looked back, he saw a thin red line on the neck of all six people behind him. They had already lost all signs of life.
