Chapter 487 1 Mayfly
After the three left, Ye Kang slowly said, "Whether or not one is the clan leader is not a big deal, but the Sixth Ancestor is right, we should go and see the Second Ancestor to show our filial piety."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards Zushan.
The Sixth Patriarch and the Fifth Patriarch exchanged a glance and both revealed a strange smile.
They had already figured it out; Yang Lie had discovered something, and his return this time was clearly to cause trouble.
Perhaps, all those seemingly injured and fallen performances of his were just an act?
Trying to lure the snake out of its hole?
too naive.
Did he think that with his eight pillars of cultivation, he could resist his second brother's soul-stealing technique?
Little did they know that cultivation level was not a necessary condition. As long as you had the bloodline of the second brother, even if you were close to the limit of the Eight Pillars, you would have no choice but to submit.
The two understood each other without saying a word, and had no worries whatsoever.
They've done this many times before.
Ye Kang naturally had no idea what they were thinking.
Even if he knew, he didn't care.
The Soul-Stealing Technique is useless against me now; the only thing I need to consider is how to eliminate these three people as quickly as possible.
Ye Kang was always prepared to perish; in a critical moment, mutual destruction would be the best option.
Soon, he followed the ancestral mountain and came to a deep, secluded forest.
The surrounding stone walls are covered with carvings of the Yang family's history, as well as many sculptures of spirited and powerful figures.
These are all geniuses who have emerged from the Yang family over the years, but they were all short-lived talents who disappeared without a trace.
The further Ye Kang went in, the more oppressive the atmosphere became.
These old fogies love to create this lifeless stuff, it's so unpleasant to watch.
After walking until the end of the dense forest, a cave finally appeared ahead.
Outside the cave stands a wide, ancient stone gate, which is the location of the ancestral land.
As soon as Ye Kang approached, the stone door opened automatically.
A withered voice, nearing its end, came from within: "Lie'er, come in."
Ye Kang walked in without flinching, his hands behind his back.
The cave was even more eerie than the outside, and the dampness from all around seemed to seep into one's very bones.
On the innermost stone platform, a gaunt old man sat quietly in meditation.
Because he was so old, he had no hair, only deep wrinkles and a pair of eyes that shrank inward.
"Second Ancestor, you called for me."
Ye Kang spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Second Patriarch grinned.
"Lie'er, it's been a long time. Your Second Ancestor's appearance must have frightened you, right?"
After saying that, the stone door closed with a bang, and countless green ghost flames rose up around it, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
Ye Kang shook his head and said, "Second Ancestor, what are you saying? I've traveled all over the country, when have I ever been frightened?"
"Excellent! As expected of the person I value most, your talent is the future hope of the Yang family!"
"Second Ancestor, you don't need to emphasize this, do you?" Ye Kang accepted the heavy praise without hesitation, his expression arrogant.
The Second Ancestor wasn't angry. On the contrary, he felt that this was the right person for Yang Lie, the vessel he had chosen.
He said, "Lie'er, over the years, the Second Ancestor has taught you so much, and you have learned it all very well. Today, I want to tell you some more things. Are you willing to listen?"
"Of course, please speak, Second Ancestor."
"Yes, you are still as eager to learn as ever. The martial arts we cultivate are about stealing the power of heaven and earth to forge ourselves. The martial arts path is divided into two realms: the Lotus with Nine Petals and the Divine Sea with Eight Pillars."
"With the eight pillars in place and the divine sea stabilized, one can truly enter the path of martial arts that leads to the heavens. But this single step has trapped far too many people, too many to count."
"You are exceptionally talented. At just over two hundred years old, you have already raised the eighth pillar, the highest of which is eight zhang tall. Your future is limitless."
"Second Ancestor wants to remind you that the Eight Pillars are just the beginning. The next step, the Six Palaces of the Nascent Soul stage, is the true path of martial arts."
"The so-called transformation into a spirit is to sublimate the sea of spirits and completely transform the divine thoughts that you have initially mastered into the primordial spirit. The primordial spirit can perceive subtle changes in heaven and earth, travel outside the body, and possess countless supernatural powers."
"At the same time, after the primordial spirit appears, the eight pillars of the divine sea will build a corresponding Dao palace according to your transformation method, and replace the divine sea with the Dao palace to contain the primordial spirit."
"The Dao Palace also has six levels, known as the Six Palaces. Each level can evolve a different supernatural power, allowing one to roam the heavens and earth and tear through space..."
At this point, the Sixth Patriarch's eyes were filled with longing.
"Right now, we are no different from ants in front of true Nascent Soul Realm experts. Can you understand this feeling? You probably can't, after all, you have already risen to the Eight Pillars Realm. Even outside, there are very few people who can pose a threat to you..."
Ye Kang frowned slightly as he listened to the Second Ancestor's words.
There is no doubt that this information is quite important to him.
So this is what martial arts above the Divine Sea are like.
It turns out that it really is possible to condense a primordial spirit and roam the heavens and earth.
It turns out that what I've seen is only the tip of the iceberg of this world.
Not only him, but even Yang Lie inside the Ink Dragon Spear fell silent.
The Second Patriarch was right. Yang Lie was arrogant and thought that he had raised the Eighth Pillar and was now invincible.
It turns out that it was just a mayfly, unaware of the world.
But why is he saying all this?
The Second Ancestor seemed to have noticed Ye Kang's question and smiled somewhat stiffly, "When people get old, they like to ramble on like this. Lie'er, under this stone platform lies the secret of the Yang family. It is a true Nascent Soul Technique, a technique that can transform an Eight Pillar Grandmaster. If you survive today, don't forget to break the stone platform and take the technique. Consider it my compensation to you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's expression changed: "What does Second Ancestor mean by this?"
The Second Ancestor chuckled dryly, "Why pretend anymore? You've infiltrated the Ancestral Mountain several times to investigate the secrets of the Yang family. Do you really think I'm so ignorant because my cultivation is lower than yours? I'm sure you've guessed a lot. So let's get straight to the point and make things clear. You've come to see me, so you must have made plenty of preparations, right?"
A cold wind swept by, and Ye Kang's palms felt icy cold, giving him a strange feeling that he had been inexplicably seen through.
He sneered and said, "Second Ancestor, you wouldn't really want to seize my physical body, would you?"
The latter nodded without hesitation: "Of course, this body was once a genius, but unfortunately I have exhausted its potential. If I don't find a new vessel, I will perish completely."
"Lie'er, do you know how much effort it takes for someone as dull as us to become a Nascent Soul expert? We work harder and do more than anyone else, but heaven doesn't favor us."
The Second Ancestor's expression gradually became distorted, and his tone became increasingly manic.
"But I'm not convinced! Why can geniuses rise to the top so easily, while I have to wait for my lifespan to end! I'm not reconciled! I also want to become a deity, I've tried so many times, from four pillars to five pillars, then six pillars, then seven pillars! Until now, it's all over again..."
"Lie'er, you probably don't understand this kind of sorrow. We are such pathetic people. For the slightest wish to live, we have to use thousands of years of scheming. Fortunately, you appeared. With your body, this time, I will definitely be able to achieve my wish!"
