I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 330 Return to Great Xia, The Book of the Martial Saint!

The first rays of dawn shone upon the yellow earth.

Within the territory of Xia, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, presenting a peaceful and harmonious scene.

Since Ye Li was selected as a member of the Immortal Sect half a year ago, the entire Great Xia Dynasty has been forcibly upgraded.

The spiritual energy from countless surrounding countries poured in, giving the Great Xia a completely new look.

Later, it was incorporated into the Grandmaster Cave Heaven by Yun Huanzi, and was divided equally with the almost crystallized universe within the cave heaven.

When Ye Li stepped into the Xia Kingdom again, he saw the rich spiritual energy that felt like a spring breeze.

"What a big change!"

Jiang Xiyue took a deep breath, feeling the vitality of the wheat field before her, and exclaimed in amazement, "The concentration of spiritual energy here is equivalent to one or two-tenths of the level within the sect. Even those with above-average talent have a chance of being born with it."

Le Yao gazed at what lay before her, her eyes filled with curiosity. Was this the hometown that had given birth to Ye Li?

As they returned to their hometown, the two appeared near Guangming City.

Guangming at this time was completely different from what it had been a few months ago. The roads were wide and flat, and stone markers could be seen every few miles.

Merchants and travelers came and went in an endless stream, and from time to time, one could see martial artists who were half-step into the Innate Realm mixed in with them.

In a roadside tea stall, several merchants were resting and chatting. Ye Li paused slightly and listened attentively: "Old Li, I remember your young man broke through to the Acquired Realm not long ago, right? He's only twenty years old, and he's quite talented."

An old man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit smiled and looked at the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) beside him, saying, "Who knows, your young man might become a master of innate cultivation! He might bring glory to the family then."

The middle-aged man next to him smiled unconsciously upon hearing the praise.

But then he raised his hand and waved it modestly, saying, "That little brat isn't as promising as you say. I asked the martial arts school, and the instructor said he just has average talent."

"It's all thanks to the increased spiritual energy over the past six months. Even drinking water can boost his strength. In the environment six months ago, it would have been quite an achievement for him to break through to the peak of Body Tempering."

As he spoke, the old man named Lao Li gently straightened his back and said, "Now that I eat dragon tooth rice every day and live in this environment, my old back injury has healed."

"If I had this good fortune when I was young, I might have been born with it too."

Hearing Old Li's complaints, the surrounding merchants shook their heads helplessly.

Because most of them are over 50 years old, even if their spiritual energy increases, they can no longer break through, and their lives are restricted.

Among the merchants, a burly man with thick eyebrows chuckled, "Now that we're near Guangming, I haven't heard Ye Li's story for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

Hearing what the burly man with thick eyebrows said, the people around him said helplessly, "Although this is Guangming, we've heard this too many times. Let's just take it away."

The burly man with thick eyebrows ignored him and laughed, "Haha, what? You're already tired of Ye Li's story? Then let me tell you another one."

"A year ago, in the spring, yellow sand swept through the streets of Guangming West City. Ye Li, a young man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, went alone to the Poison Wolf Gang, which was infamous in Guangming. Wherever they went, they were notorious."

Seeing the burly man recklessly starting to talk about Ye Li's past, the people around him, though helpless, still listened patiently.

"It seems that Ali has a high status here too," Yue Yao remarked, observing the scene unfolding on the road.

Listening to the idle chatter of passersby, Ye Li and his companions quickened their pace and headed towards Guangming City.

Today, Guangming is practically the second capital of the Xia Kingdom.

Even as Ye Li's hometown, it subtly surpasses the capital of the Great Xia in status.

Along the way, merchants from all over the country are heading towards this place, hoping to gain a foothold here.

The people's morals, which had been devastated by the massacre of the city by the Reincarnators, are now flourishing again.

Because the city was too small to accommodate visitors from all over the country, Guangming began to expand outwards.

Guangming, which was once divided into five equal parts (east, west, south, north, and center), is now the inner city.

Outside the inner city of Guangming, an outer city, several times larger in size, was rebuilt.

When Ye Li and his group arrived in Guangming, they came to the outer city of Guangming.

At the outer city gate, the Canglong Gang, still the dominant force in Guangming, was checking the travel permits of the newcomers.

Outside the gate, under Ye Li's gaze, he saw a statue of himself, over ten meters tall, standing atop the city gate.

Looking at the majestic city gate before him, Ye Li smiled, recalling a promise he had made with the little girl two years ago.

"When you come back, you'll see the entire city of Guangming covered in windmills!"

Two years have passed since they last met. His uncle and aunt's family have returned to Guangming, but he entered the Immortal Sect first, making it impossible for them to meet.

Looking at the towering building in front of him, Ye Li shook his head and said, "Two years have passed since we last met. In that case, I guess I broke my promise."

97

"Broken promise?"

Jiang Xiyue looked puzzled.

But instead of answering, he suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, an invisible force of creation swept across the entire city.

Matter is disassembled and reconstructed silently, and countless windmills grow out of matter silently.

Along the side of the city wall, inside the cracks in the stones, in the eaves of the houses, on the soil—

One after another, colorful windmills were created by Ye Li's great magic power and grew all over the inner and outer cities of Guangming.

The windmills throughout the city turned softly in the breeze, their colorful paper pages refracting tiny specks of light, transforming into a flowing rainbow.

Everyone in Guangming stopped and stared at the sea of ​​windmills that had sprung up out of nowhere.

"What... what's going on?" The whole city was stunned; the scene before them was like a miracle.

In the center of Guangming's inner city, there is a courtyard house with blue bricks and gray tiles.

A girl of about fourteen years old was practicing calligraphy by leaning on the windowsill, her expression showing frustration.

Since returning to Guangming, his parents have hired a whole bunch of tutors for him.

From martial arts training to cultural studies, there is no time to truly relax during the day.

"Is this the trouble that comes with having money?"

Ye Duo looked at the brush, ink, paper and inkstone in front of her and sighed softly: "Everyone says that since I am Ye Li's cousin, I must be very talented."

"Even Master Zheng Tong said that I am just exceptionally talented and cannot compare to Brother Ye Li."

The girl bit the end of the calligraphy brush, her eyes filled with longing: "I wonder when Brother Ye Li will come back?"

While she was lost in thought, her expression suddenly faltered.

All I could see outside the window was a cluster of colorful windmills, like a silent, flowing galaxy.

She trembled, the promise she made years ago rising in her heart, and with joy on her face, she rushed straight out of the courtyard.

In the main courtyard of the Ye family, Ning Qiu, dressed as a noblewoman, with an air of elegance between her brows, had adapted to her current leisurely life.

At this moment, she was enjoying tea with Ye Cunmang in the hall.

With a massive supply of elixirs, both of them have now reached the Acquired Realm in terms of cultivation.

However, both of them are now quite old, and at their current pace of cultivation, it will probably be difficult for them to break through to the Innate Realm before the age of fifty.

The two of them stared blankly as the windmill drove into the courtyard, and Ye Duo's voice rang in their ears: "Mother! Mother! It's a windmill! The whole city is full of windmills!"

Ye Duo quickly pushed open the door, her voice urgent and bright, "Brother Ye Li is back! It must be Brother Ye Li!"

Just as the cheers were going off, a figure stepped into the Ye family compound, bathed in light.

Wherever he went, the countless servants who rushed forward were all frozen in place, and he entered the inner courtyard as if he were in an empty place.

Ye Duo, who was cheering, felt something and turned around to look.

But then a young man in white appeared before her, looking down at her and saying, "Oh, it's been two years. Duo'er has grown so tall."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then hugged her loved one tightly, saying in a muffled voice, "Brother Ye Li, you've been gone for so long!"

Ye Li smiled and stroked the girl's neatly combed hair, then looked up at Ye Cunmang and Ning Qiu, who were walking out of the hall in the distance: "Uncle and Aunt, it's been two years. I hope you are well."

With the strange windmill phenomenon spreading throughout the city, rumors flew and everyone was speculating about the source of the phenomenon.

Although they didn't know if it was true or not, the fact that Guangming suddenly used this method immediately made them guess that Ye Li had returned.

Soon, Zheng Tong, having learned of the news, rushed to the Ye residence and, as expected, saw his long-lost disciple.

Ye Li sat in the front of the hall, watching Ning Qiu demonstrate the tea ceremony with a smile.

It is said that wealth nourishes people, and now that she no longer has to worry about food and clothing, Ning Qiu has adapted to the life of a wealthy family.

At this moment, with Ye Li's return, Zheng Tong, Ye Duo, Ning Qiu, and the rest of the group gathered in the hall.

The hall was filled with the aroma of tea. Ning Qiu skillfully held the teapot, and the tea in the celadon cup was clear and bright. Ye Li accepted the teacup, his expression light—

loose.

Zheng Tong, standing to the side, looked at Ye Li with curiosity and asked, "Disciple, you've only been away from the Immortal Sect for half a year, why are you back already?"

The people around him also looked concerned, worried that Ye Li might be being bullied within the sect.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ye Li smiled and said, "I have been away from my hometown for a long time. The reason I have returned to Xia Kingdom is to meet with you all."

As he spoke, Ye Li looked at Ning Qiu and Ye Cun Mang and said seriously, "Practicing martial arts is not about years. Now that you and your aunt are getting closer to the age of fifty, we should break through the Wu Wang barrier."

"My purpose in returning to my hometown this time is to cleanse your and your master's innate qualities, raise your cultivation to the Innate Realm, and extend your lifespan by three hundred years."

Upon returning to Xia Kingdom this time, he specially retrieved countless top-grade natural treasures from his sect.

The purpose is to allow everyone to live a little longer, and to give themselves more time to grow.

Hearing that Ye Li still cared about them, everyone's faces were filled with emotion.

Ye Li surveyed the old acquaintances in the hall, reminiscing with them while secretly probing them with his divine sense.

Now, his divine sense is powerful enough to easily cover the entire Xia Kingdom.

Even without leaving home, one can observe the affairs of the entire Xia Kingdom.

While chatting and reminiscing with everyone, his divine sense also extended out of Guangming and headed towards the capital.

There was only one purpose: to see the Imperial Concubine Shen Fuyao.

The last time I heard news of him was when he was reminiscing about visiting his family, but now half a year has passed, so he must have returned by now.

However, as Ye Li continued to scan the capital with his divine sense, he did not find the so-called Shen Fuyao.

Not to mention finding any trace of Shen Fuyao, Ye Li's divine sense traced back all the way and found out that Shen Fuyao had died of illness and had already been buried.

There was definitely a problem.

While chatting with the others, Ye Li secretly thought to himself, and once again diverted his divine sense to investigate further.

In the following time, Ye Li cleansed everyone's bones to improve their cultivation, while investigating Shen Fuyao's affairs.

However, when they met Shen Fuyao's family in person, they discovered that there were signs of mental distortion in them.

The other party's identity as a member of the Shen family was fabricated, and the clues have completely dried up here.

Is Shen Fuyao's identity a disguise? But her figure is the same as Elder Fuyao's.

However, their personalities are so different. Compared to Elder Fuyao, she is more like Senior Sister Qinglian!

Ye Li's lips twitched slightly as an image of a figure flashed into his mind.

Both of them have the same lively and unconventional personality.

and----

Ye Li thought of his senior sister Qinglian, who had made a special trip to the Xia Kingdom when he was in the Grandmaster Secret Realm.

Almost instantly, the thought in my mind suddenly clicked.

In other words, this Shen Fuyao is actually Senior Sister Qinglian in disguise, only her figure is Elder Fuyao's.

"That's true. Senior Sister Qinglian is Elder Fuyao's disciple, so it's only natural that she knows about her figure and is aware of the changes."

With a solution in mind, all the previous clues suddenly connected, and Ye Li's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Thinking back to how he used to hug and embrace Consort Fuyao, he roughly understood why Senior Sister Qinglian had always been somewhat hostile towards him.

"So that's how it is? But isn't this too much of a coincidence? What a twist of fate!"

Although the truth has been roughly discovered.

However, Ye Li decided to keep this news to himself, pretending not to have discovered it, and never mention it again even if he met the person in question.

After resolving his doubts, Ye Li stopped investigating and settled down to fully immerse himself in the leisurely life of returning home.

For the next month or so, Ye Li practiced martial arts in Guangming while reuniting with his family and master.

Occasionally, he would chat with some old friends and offer some pointers on Ye Duo's cultivation, while also heading north to castrate Jiang Xiyue's father once again.

A month later, Ye Li used a massive amount of spiritual medicine to forcibly elevate all his family members and old friends to the Innate Realm, regardless of their innate talents.

Although in terms of combat strength, it may not even be as good as a blank-slate innate being, but it at least has a lifespan of 300 years.

After doing all this, Ye Li submitted his resignation, bid farewell to his reluctant family, and returned to the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect.

Ye Li knew that Heaven's will was like a sword hanging over his head, and there were undercurrents in the universe. It was not time to slack off yet, so he resolutely embarked on another journey.

They returned to Ningyue Realm with Yue Yao and Jiang Xiyue, which was still as desolate as a fairyland.

Elder Fuyao still hadn't returned, making Ye Li curious about what he had taken Pei Taoyu to do.

But this curiosity was unavoidable, so Ye Li decisively sought out Yun Huanzi, told him about his plan to break through again, and asked about the location of the world he was currently training in.

On the main peak, upon hearing the inquiry from his disciple, Yun Huanzi stroked his beard and said, "The world I'm sending you to this time has a connection with our sect; its essence is derived from a book written by the Martial Saint back then."

"A book by the Martial Saint?" Ye Li was taken aback.

Yun Huanzi nodded and said, "That's right, this is a biography written by the sect's patriarch back then."

"This is the result of a spirit that has been imbued with the aura of a Martial Saint merging with a universe within the myriad realms."

"The book is titled: *The Myriad Phenomena of Nature*!"
