Chapter 192 – Ye Qingyu Wakes Up
The rear hill of the Ye Castle, in Grey City.
Ye Tianlong looked at the girl on the bed with a complicated expression. He then turned to Ye Qingniu and Ye Baihu, before he said “It’s been half a year since she absorbed the Immortal Crystal, why hasn’t she woken up yet?”
A year ago, in an attempt to win back Qinghan’s loyalty to the Ye Family, he had gone to Concealed Island with nearly half of the family treasures to exchange for a Spirit Immortal Dan. To his great surprise and confusion, the leader of Concealed Island had given him an Immortal Crystal instead, which was much more valuable than a Spirit Immortal Dan. Neither of the two items were common treasures, and Ye Tianlong had thus failed to distinguish them from each other. Also, he chose not to open and check the Dan until the final moment before it was used, in case the energy within would be leaked. Soon after Qinghan was sucked into the Luo Shen Mountain, and he had looked for his ancestor, Ye Ruoshui, who had given him the Mars Prefecture Blood Token. At that moment he had handed over the box, which had contained the Dan, to Ye Baihu.
However… he was also greatly shocked, when he had learned about the truth of the item in the box. What added to his bewilderment was, that their ancestor, Ye Ruoshui, had claimed that Ye Qingyu would become the next leader of the Ye Family. Because, she would become a Heaven-immortal Realm cultivator within roughly ten years!
What was the Heaven Immortal Realm?
As the great elders of the family, he, Ye Baihu, and Ye Qingniu knew all too well of what this realm meant. This was their ultimate goal since they had entered the Realm of the Saint twenty years ago. It would be a dream-come-true for them to break into such a legendary realm, which would instantly endow them with unimaginable power and a self-teleportation technique. Compared with the ordinary people living in this mortal world, a Heaven-immortal Realm cultivator was almost eternal.
Not a single cultivator could resist the temptation to become an immortal. Not a single person could stand the lure to live forever.
Nevertheless, the threshold for the Heaven-immortal Realm was insurmountably high. Throughout the history of the Flaming Dragon Continent, among the countless Saint-Realm cultivators, only a few of them had eventually reached this realm. The Ye Family, for instance, had only seen one cultivator become an immoral – Ye Ruoshui.
Taking Long Pifu as another example, as a cultivator in the peak level of the Realm of the Saint, he could effortlessly throw away three Demonic Saints like toys. However… he was still half a step away from the Heaven-immortal Realm. If he didn’t have the luck to become an immortal, he would most likely turn old and die in Dragon City.
In the Ye Family, the great elders like Ye Tianlong were deemed as idols among the younger generations. But, none of them had the chance to be become an immortal, for they hadn’t even reached the threshold of this realm.
Any cultivator below the Realm of the Emperor highly depended on the Battle Qi, or special herbs, to improve their cultivation. However, when it came to the Realm of the Emperor, they also had to grasp the Laws of Heaven and Earth, besides absorbing Battle Qi. At the age of forty, Ye Tianlong had begun his journey of learning the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Several decades had past, but he had only grasped two of the five laws.
Now, Ye Ruoshui had said that this little girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen, and was a half-paralyzed Spirit Jade Body, would actually become an immortal within the next ten years. Just because of the Immortal Crystal she had absorbed?
Within ten years, could she even possibly accumulate the Battle Qi required to reach the peak-level of the Realm of the Saint? If she could, would she be able to grasp all the five abstruse mysteries of the Laws of Heaven and Earth? After all, it had taken almost two decades for Ye Tianlong to grasp just two of them.
Their attitude towards Ye Ruoshui’s prediction, therefore, was dubious. But, considering their knowledgeable ancestor, they compelled themselves to accept it as a fact.
Because… this was personally confirmed by Ye Ruoshui - the only Heaven-immortal Realm cultivator who was born hundreds of years ago. They simply couldn’t convince themselves to not believe their ancestor. Ye Ruoshui’s words should be reliable and authoritarian.
The three of them were so desperate to see Qingyu wake up. They were so eager to witness that magic moment. Could all these predictions become reality?
