Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Immediately, Ye Xuan asked again, "What do you all call yourselves?"

The leader opened his mouth and said, "Reporting to the Family Head, we only remember the cultivation techniques and swordplay we practice. As for other memories, we have none. Please bestow names upon us, Family Head."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan found himself in a difficult position. He was completely clueless when it came to naming people. There were too many of them, and if it was too complicated, he wouldn't be able to remember. Forget it, he would just call them by sequential numbers.

Then, he said to the leader, "You will be 101. From now on, you will be ranked according to your strength, from 101 to 118. Your sequence is not fixed. The stronger you are, the higher your rank will be, including everyone in the ninth level, who will all start with 1. Do you understand?"

The eighteen people replied in unison, "Yes, Family Head!"

"Alright, you may continue your cultivation. If there is anything, I will transmit my voice to you." After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left the Chaos Dao Tower.

The next morning, Ye Xuan transmitted his voice to the eighteen sword cultivators, instructing one to stay behind and guard the Ye family in case of accidents. He led the remaining seventeen, a group of eighteen in total, and quietly sneaked out of the Ye family. After arriving at the seaside, they soared into the sky, their destination being the Misty Island, thousands of miles away. Because the Canglan Continent was vast, a thousand miles of sea could only be considered the near sea, and there were no strong winds. The group proceeded relatively smoothly, and in less than half an hour, they arrived above Misty Island.

Along the way, several sea demons tried to take the group as food, but they were easily chopped down like vegetables, without even affecting their progress.

After arriving above Misty Island, the entire island was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the situation inside. Ye Xuan ordered a few people to go down and investigate. After confirming there were no dangers, Ye Xuan entered Misty Island and landed on the highest peak. The island was a hundred miles in circumference, and besides some low-level demon beasts, there were no other living beings. The spiritual energy was similar to Qing Stone City.

Ye Xuan stood on the top of the island and looked around. He ordered everyone except 101 to thoroughly investigate the entire island. Then, he looked out and saw a mountain range running through the center of the island, dividing Misty Island into two. The mountain range was full of peaks, appearing quite magnificent, with dense vegetation and occasional birds flying over.

After a while, the remaining sixteen people besides 101 returned to Ye Xuan's side. The group immediately reported, "Clan Head, after investigation, this island has no other living beings besides low-level demon beasts and some ordinary birds and wild animals. Also, there are some caves and the like left behind by cultivators who used to cultivate here."

Just as he said this, 101 said in Ye Xuan's ear, "There is a Transformation God stage great demon rapidly approaching us."

"Let's go. Let's get out of here first." After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he soared into the sky, and everyone followed closely behind.

In the sky above Misty Island, a group of eighteen people stood quietly in the void, watching the huge waves approaching from the distance. After five breaths, a giant figure rushed out of the water and faced Ye Xuan and the others from afar, speaking in human language, "Audacious humans, slaughtering my sea demon clan, prepare to die!" As he spoke, he opened his mouth wide, and a wave of spiritual power mixed with water vapor smashed towards Ye Xuan and his group. Ye Xuan just watched quietly. Behind him, a masked figure walked out, and a sword qi barrier appeared, blocking the attack.

Ye Xuan's mind moved, and the system panel appeared before his eyes.

Race: Flood Dragon

Name: Crimson Water Flood Dragon

Cultivation: Mid-stage Transformation God

Ye Xuan closed the system. At this moment, the Crimson Water Flood Dragon was shocked to see this scene, feeling that it had kicked a steel plate this time. Upon closer inspection, only Ye Xuan's cultivation was in the Nascent Soul realm. It couldn't see the cultivation of the others, but based on the masked man's attack just now, it was definitely above its cultivation.

Both sides fell into silence. Ye Xuan saw the Crimson Water Flood Dragon's embarrassment and then said, "Crimson Water Flood Dragon, right?"

"You know me?" the Crimson Water Flood Dragon said. It thought to itself that it had never seen these humans before.

"I'll give you two choices, first, submit, second, die. I'll give you three breaths," Ye Xuan said softly.

"Three."

At this moment, ten thousand alpacas galloped through the Crimson Water Flood Dragon's heart. Its thoughts turned back and forth, thinking of hundreds of possible escape routes, all of which were rejected by itself.

"Two."

"I choose to submit." Before Ye Xuan could say one, it surrendered.

"Hand over your soul origin," Ye Xuan said.

The Crimson Water Flood Dragon's body trembled and hesitated. Seeing the Crimson Water Flood Dragon's hesitation, Ye Xuan directly ordered, "Kill him!"

The Crimson Water Flood Dragon was so frightened that it hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

Immediately, the Crimson Water Flood Dragon transformed into a human body with a flood dragon head. A ball of soul origin flew out from the center of its brow. Ye Xuan struck it with a rune mark and then flew it back into the Crimson Water Flood Dragon's brow.

At this moment, the Crimson Water Flood Dragon felt that Ye Xuan could make it vanish into ashes with just a thought. It respectfully said, "Master, if there is anything you need, please feel free to order Little Flood Dragon."

"There's nothing for now. You can operate within ten thousand miles of Misty Island. If there is anything abnormal, notify me or the Ye family members in time. Also, notify your subordinates that in the future, no one from my Ye family can be provoked in this sea area, otherwise, they will bear the consequences."

The Crimson Water Flood Dragon nodded like it was pounding garlic.

"Alright, nothing else, you can go," Ye Xuan said. The reason why Ye Xuan didn't kill the Crimson Water Flood Dragon was actually because he was new here and didn't know the situation in the sea area. There weren't many descriptions in the ancient books either. With the Crimson Water Flood Dragon as an informant, he could at least know some news. After all, the Crimson Water Flood Dragon had been entrenched here for thousands of years.

Seeing the Crimson Water Flood Dragon leave, Ye Xuan led everyone back to the highest peak of Misty Island and ordered, "Start building with this peak as the main point. Build the family hall in the middle of the main peak, build a family square that can accommodate ten thousand people at the foot of the mountain, and build thousands of cave dwellings, cultivation martial arts fields, scripture pavilions, elders' halls... on the surrounding peaks."

After Ye Xuan finished his instructions, he began to take out high-grade spiritual veins and let 101 inject them into the ground. In an instant, dense spiritual energy began to spread outward from the main peak as the center. Ye Xuan took out the Heavenly Evolution Sword Formation array and threw it into the air. The great formation began to envelop the entire Misty Island. Ye Xuan quickly took out four ordinary magic swords from the storage ring and implanted them into the array eyes. The great formation began to operate, blocking the spiritual energy that wanted to spread out. Ye Xuan felt the power of the great formation. An ordinary magic sword array base plus high-grade spiritual veins as energy could prevent even the Dharma Idol stage from entering.

At this moment, the spiritual energy concentration of Misty Island began to climb, ten times, twenty times, until it slowly stabilized at thirty times. Ye Xuan smiled knowingly. He took 101 and left Misty Island, letting the others begin to build Misty Island.

After returning to the family, he notified the elders that there would be a clan hall meeting in two days, and all Ye family direct descendants must be present.

Two days later, in the solemn and solemn ancestral hall, Ye Xuan's eyes were deep. He looked around at the clan members below, some young and vigorous, some calm and restrained, and said in a low but powerful voice: "Today, I want to establish family rules, and I hope you will remember them in your hearts."

Ye Xuan paused slightly, and then solemnly explained: "The world is changing, and the situation is unpredictable. My clan members should deeply understand the way of 'endurance'. Do not put momentary impulse and bravery in the first place, as recklessness and aggression often only lead to unwarranted disasters. The so-called 'endurance' is by no means cowardice or incompetence, but the ability to be patient and know how to detour in difficult and desperate situations. Even if surrounded by strong enemies, one can lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to preserve one's own strength. After going out, there is no need to show all your strength, and you should always reserve a trump card for yourself."

He paced forward, his eyes full of earnest expectations: "You must understand that living is the most important thing. Only by living can the family's bloodline continue, and the legacy of the ancestors can be inherited. Every clan member is the key to the family's continuous inheritance, and the light of hope for our centuries of tradition. When venturing out, open roads when encountering mountains. If you are unable to do so, do not attack forcefully. You may as well avoid the edge for the time being; build bridges when encountering water. If the undercurrent is turbulent, do not take risks rashly, and should seek other ways. With a tenacious heart, wait for the clouds to clear and the fog to dissipate, and when the time is ripe, you can make a comeback and revive the family's glory. In this way, you will not fail the ancestors and provide a stable world for future generations."
