Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 375 How Will You Learn From Me? (Please Subscribe!)

He wouldn't be surprised if Xu Chuan formed his core.

After all, the methods used back then were beyond what a Foundation Establishment cultivator could achieve.

Even if the aura he reveals is at the Foundation Establishment stage, others will think that he is just concealing the exquisite secret techniques.

But Ye Fan...

He's so young!
His youth was unbelievable to him.

However, he desperately wanted it to be true.

Zhou Qingfang gazed quietly at Ye Xuehua's tombstone, silently thinking, "Xuehua, you gave birth to an extraordinary son!"

If you were alive, you would be so proud of him!

After the worship ceremony, everyone stood silently for a moment.

Ye Fan turned to Zhou Qingfang and said, "Master, I would like to move my mother's grave to the Xu Family Cemetery in Dongxi. Please grant my request."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfang fell into deep thought.

Thinking of the chaos of the great calamity, he guessed that Ye Fan might be worried about it, and finally nodded slowly.

"Then it's up to you. Move there, and you can visit often."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!" Ye Fan solemnly cupped his hands in thanks.

He immediately took action, retrieved his mother Ye Xuehua's coffin, and stored it in his storage ring.

Then, looking at Zhou Qingfang, she paused and said, "Master, why don't you come back to Dongxi with us?"

Zhou Qingfang could understand Ye Fan's meaning: he wanted him to avoid trouble.

"Then what about my tens of thousands of Zhou family members?"

Ye Fan remained silent upon hearing this.

If Zhou Qingfang were to go alone, he believed his master would not refuse.

However, he couldn't make the decision to relocate the entire Zhou clan there.

Moreover, now that the Zhou family has already branched out and moved into Dongxi, Xu Chuanduan would never allow the entire Zhou family to move here as well.

This door has been opened.

The Qin family, Li family, Wang family, Chen family, Bai family, and many other vassal families.

The Immortal Martial Alliance was founded by the Xu family.

What about the various families, large and small, within the Immortal Martial Alliance that support the Xu family?!
Although the Xu family is confident that they can survive this calamity, no one knows how severe it will be or how many Golden Core cultivators will emerge.

If it is too conspicuous, it will attract dozens or even hundreds of Golden Core cultivators.

Even if all those who arrive are at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, the Xu family still cannot protect themselves.

How desperate must the Xu family be?

They had been preparing for this day for decades.

Xu Chuan, Xu Mingxian, and Xu Deling each did their best to grow quickly.

Only by overcoming this calamity can the Xu family truly grow strong enough to have a huge voice throughout Tiannan and to possess the strength and resources that many forces fear!

Only absolute power can break the endless cycle of tragedy that has plagued this land!

"Go ahead," Zhou Qingfang said with a faint smile.

That smile seemed to convey a detached acceptance of life and death.

This could also be the final farewell.

Ye Fan silently bowed deeply to him again before saying to Xu Deyue and the others, "Let's go."

As Zhou Qingfang watched them walk away, he murmured, "He's a good kid, but everyone has attachments, and attachments lead to more attachments. Indecisiveness will only hurt him."

Having a kind heart is a good thing, but don't do it too much.

There is still much you need to learn from your master.

In Zhou Qingfang's eyes, Xu Chuan was just that kind of person.

He possesses many qualities, such as honesty, kindness, and compassion, but not many of them.

Be ruthless when necessary, and decisive when required.

His gaze is always fixed ahead, never lingering on those behind him.

At most, after those old friends have passed away, I will occasionally think of them and reminisce about them.

The entire cemetery was silent, save for the rows of cedar trees rustling in the wind, as if in response to Zhou Qingfang.

A few moments.

With a sigh, he left the Zhou family cemetery.

Ye Fan and the others returned to Dongxi.

He immediately buried his mother, Ye Xuehua.

The tomb was built by Ye Fan himself, and the inscription on the tombstone was also carved by him.

Then a few days later.

Ye Fan went to Bihan Pool to pay his respects to Xu Chuan.

"coming."

Xu Chuan sat cross-legged under the withered tree, his eyes closed.

"Master."

Ye Fan bowed with his hands clasped.

"Want to take a trip to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty?"

"I can't hide it from you."

"What do you plan to do when you get there? Kill the Cao family patriarch? Slaughter the entire Cao clan?"

"I"

Ye Fan paused abruptly, unsure how to respond.

After a moment, he said, "I swore an oath before my mother's tombstone that I would trample the Cao family line under my feet!"

"Should we kill him or not?" Xu Chuan asked again.

He paused, then continued, "Whether you kill or not, I won't stop you, as long as you bear the consequences."

Ye Fan asked, puzzled, "Please explain, Master?"

"If there is no great calamity, your killing of the Cao family patriarch will at most cause the decline or even annihilation of the Cao family lineage. They will hold a grudge against you, and you will not have any psychological obstacles."

But this time it's different.

The Cao family is not only a powerful clan that surpasses many other families in terms of their influence, but also a protective umbrella for millions of people in the imperial city.

If the Cao family were to perish at this moment, the great formation would be on the verge of destruction.

When the great calamity strikes, countless mortals, cultivators, and martial artists in the imperial city will be powerless to resist.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the people of the capital could get through this safely just because the Cao family was around.

But for you, these are two completely different causes and effects.

Do you understand? "

Ye Fan had never thought about it so deeply before.

But he quickly understood, "Does Master think that because of me, the Cao family was destroyed, and I will bear part of the bloodshed in the capital?"

"Cause and effect are mysterious; whether it is true or not, even your master cannot say for sure," Xu Chuan said. "Cultivators are inherently defying the heavens, so killing is nothing to them."

The key is whether you can take responsibility and face it without fear.

It may not seem like much now, but when you try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, you might experience a demonic illusion of the imperial city being slaughtered.

Humans are inherently driven by emotions and desires; faced with such slaughter, few can remain calm.

Ye Fan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

After a cup of tea.

He looked up at Xu Chuan, "If it were Master, what would you choose?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "You are you, and I am your teacher."

Different thoughts, different ways of thinking, different experiences, different temperaments.

How can you learn from me?
Let me tell you, I have personally slaughtered or caused the extermination of no fewer than ten families, including some Golden Core families.

Are you going to personally exterminate ten clans and imitate your master?
Can you imagine how I feel right now?

Ye Fan was slightly startled, but after a moment, he sighed and said, "This disciple is not as good as Master. Please point me in the right direction."

"Actually, all those related to your mother's death had already died back then, leaving only the Cao family patriarch. The impact of this great calamity was too great for me to calculate."

However, it is highly likely that all the major clans will be destroyed, or at least not wiped out.

Only scattered members of the tribe will remain, unable to amount to anything.

Since there's no need to do it yourself, why get your hands dirty?

"Master doesn't approve of his disciple seeking revenge?"

“Of course you should avenge a wrong, but when you die, your karma ends and the cause and effect are resolved. At this moment, you are just feeling a lot of resentment in your heart.”

Once the blockage is cleared, that should solve the problem.

Xu Chuan looked at him and said, "If you're willing, I'll assign you a task."

"Master, please speak."

"This is a jade tablet that blocks the detection of a Golden Core cultivator's divine sense, and this mask can change one's appearance after being worn." Xu Chuan flipped his hand and took out the two items, saying, "It's just a pity that the mask can't block the detection of a Golden Core cultivator's divine sense."

"But having the jade token is not a problem." "Ye Fan, would you be willing to help your master probe the strength of the Cao family, the Sima family, and the Liu family?"

At that time, the Cao family patriarch can be slapped in the face whenever he wants to vent his anger.

"If your killing intent is truly unquenchable, then when the demonic calamity arrives, go to the imperial city again and join this bloody feast."

Testing the waters with three parties?

Ye Fan thought for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Master wants to take advantage of this great calamity!"

"Although this region has declined, it is still extraordinary. The three families have been the hegemons of this place for thousands of years. It is hard to say what trump cards they have up their sleeves."

Perhaps there will be top-tier magic treasures, incomplete spiritual treasures, top-tier third-tier or even fourth-tier talismans.

If such a thing truly exists, it would be even better to incorporate it all into the foundation of my Xu family's wealth.

In this way, we can also contribute to breaking the cycle of slaughter that has plagued my Xu family in this imprisoned place.

Ye Fan was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "This disciple is willing to make the trip for Master!"

"When you go is up to you."

Ye Fan nodded, took the jade tablet and mask that were floating in mid-air, and then left.

If something happens, the disciple will do his best.

If Xu Chuan had to do all of this, he would be exhausted.

After all, he was too busy cultivating divine sense techniques to even have supernatural powers.

After returning.

Ye Fan told Xu Deyue about this matter.

Xu Deyue pondered for a moment, then said to him, "Grandfather has always been far-sighted. The Cao family is nothing in front of my Xu family now."

Whether to kill or not, and when to kill, is entirely up to you, my husband.

Ye Fan sighed softly upon hearing this, "Very well, I'll go on my master's behalf first, and also vent my anger. Whether to kill or not, I'll think about it carefully."

Three days later.

Ye Fan put on the jade pendant and then covered his face with a black mask. His muscles and bones shifted and transformed into a deep, hideous scar that revealed the bone.

At this moment, Ye Fan is a middle-aged man with a scar who is a stranger and is dressed in a black robe.

He was saying goodbye to Xu Deyue.

Just then, the courtyard gate creaked open.

Xu Chongfei pushed open the door and stepped inside. He looked up and was immediately stunned to see a strange man with a scar holding his mother's hand.

He blinked repeatedly, his face flashing with shock, realization, and even a hint of comical excitement. He lowered his voice and said urgently, "Mother! But Father did something to wrong you?"
"Don't worry, your son will definitely stand by your side and will never reveal a word to you, Father..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The figure in black robes had already swept up behind him like lightning.

Just as Xu Chongfei was about to react, a hand with well-defined muscles clamped down on the back of his neck, while another hand slapped him mercilessly on the back of the head.

A crisp "snap" sounded.

The boy was so badly hit that he saw stars and staggered several steps.

"Ouch! Father! My dear father! I was just joking, you hit me too hard!"

Xu Chongfei clutched his head and cried out in anguish.

The scarred man's face showed subtle muscle twitching, surrounded by a dark aura.

"If you keep speaking recklessly, I'll make you understand what 'fatherly love is as solid as a mountain' truly means."

His voice was hoarse and rough, quite different from his original voice.

Xu Deyue covered her lips with her sleeve, a slight ripple appearing at the corner of her eyes: "Stop fooling around, husband, you should go."

Ye Fan snorted heavily, waved his sleeve, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of dark lightning, piercing through the morning mist and disappearing into the clouds on the horizon.

The west gate of the Great Wei Imperial City.

As the first rays of dawn bathed the majestic city walls, the three-tiered golden light spirit-locking array rippled with a faint, watery glow.

Ye Fan concealed his breathing to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and slowly walked along with the flow of people entering the city.

Although they were questioned upon entering the city and had to purchase an entry token with spirit stones, they were able to enter the imperial city safely.

Even a low-grade third-tier formation.

Even with his strength, it would take him more than a day and a night of continuous attacks to break through alone.

Stepping through the city gate.

The familiar atmosphere of the street market is palpable.

The wine flag still hangs in the same old spot, and the worn dents on the bluestone pavement remain unchanged.

The overall structure has not changed much.

Ye Fan's gaze swept over the eaves and brackets, his heart devoid of sorrow or joy.

Without stopping, his figure swayed slightly, and he transformed into a streak of crimson light, flying towards the palace.

moment.

He arrived above the imperial palace's grand formation.

His black robe billowed suddenly, and the pressure of his golden core erupted like a volcano!

"Cao Jiyi, get the hell out here!"

The roar was like thunder from the heavens, the sound waves visibly spreading through the clouds and shaking the palace tiles below.

All the cultivators in the city could hear it.

"This oppressive aura is... that of a Golden Core cultivator!"

In a teahouse in the West Market, an old man with a white beard shattered his teacup with a clang.

Several beams of light from Foundation Establishment streaked into the air and gazed into the distance.

Who is this visitor?

"Could it be that person from the Xu family?" someone asked in surprise.

"This person doesn't look like him, but we can't be sure he's not in disguise. We'll see when he makes a move," another person countered.

"This Golden Core expert is clearly up to no good. Judging from his demeanor, he has a grudge against the Cao family!"

Countless people are discussing it.

The Great Wei Palace.

Ye Fan punched the great formation.

A golden light suddenly shone, and the array appeared.

At this moment, dozens of Cao family members rushed out, some riding on swords, others standing in mid-air.

The head elder, Cao Dezhang, with his hair and beard standing on end, shouted fiercely from across the room: "Who are you, senior? Why have you come to my Cao family to cause trouble?"
What grudge does the Cao family have against you?

"I don't like your Cao family, is that wrong?" The scarred man's voice was like sand grinding against iron.

"Damn it!" the disciples in the formation cursed angrily.

A young man dressed in a crimson-gold robe stepped forward from the crowd, his eyes like cold stars, revealing him to be at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

He looked directly at Ye Fan with his head held high, showing no fear: "Don't be so arrogant! The Cao family is not a place for you to run wild!"

Ye Fan's gaze fell on his face, and he pondered in his heart: Is he the legendary genius with the Heavenly Spiritual Root in the Cao family?

The Cao family still has some luck.

Unfortunately, you will not survive this calamity!
Even a genius is useless if they cannot grow and develop!

"That brat is so noisy."

He was too lazy to say more and was about to make a hand seal to continue attacking the light barrier of the great formation.

Suddenly, a streak of blazing light shot up from somewhere in the palace!
Cao Jiyi broke through the barrier and stood outside the formation, his gaze flashing like lightning as he confronted Ye Fan in mid-air.

"Who are you?"

His hair and beard were all white, but he had a youthful face despite his white hair. His eyes were bright and deep, and his expression was indifferent. He wore a simple blue Taoist robe, and his voice was old but powerful.

"Who do you care I am?"

"Now that you're out here, let me see what kind of trash you've cultivated over the past few hundred years!"

Ye Fan shook his black robe and took the initiative to attack!
"Shuzi is rampant!"

"court death!"

Cao Jiyi didn't say much. When he saw Ye Fan throw a punch, he immediately flipped his hand and a crimson flying sword appeared out of thin air. Then he swung out a sword light to meet the punch.

Ye Fan's fist was plain and unadorned, yet it directly shattered Cao Jiyi's crimson sword light.

Cao Jiyi's expression changed.

With a flick of the wrist, a crimson shield bearing the pattern of a three-legged golden crow flew out, its spiritual runes flowing.

It was damaged in Xu Mingwei's hands, but has now been restored.

Ye Fan shattered the sword light, his momentum undiminished, and closed in on Cao Jiyi.

"clang--!!!"

The clash of fists and shields produced a resounding, booming sound!

Ye Fan shattered the shield's light barrier and slammed it heavily onto the Crimson Sun Shield.

The spiritual patterns on the shield flickered, and Cao Jiyi, along with the shield, was blasted hundreds of feet away. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and forced down the blood.

His heart was filled with shock: Just how powerful was this person's body that it could withstand a magical weapon?
Could he be a body cultivator?!
