Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Ye Haotian and the others were waiting here, because Ye Haotian could guess that if the descendants of the Ye family were to be summoned, the imperial court would be the most suitable place.

He watched as the rainbow-like light stretched towards this place, and immediately showed a happy expression.

"Immediately issue a notice to the Ye royal family to come to the court as quickly as possible. Tell them that no matter what they are doing right now, they must return to Yundu within one hour," Ye Haotian ordered.

However, Ye Haotian didn't need to say anything more, because after Ye Qiulin condensed the magic power ladder with her power, she used her Celestial Realm power to issue orders to all members of the Ye royal family in Yundu.

"Order all members of the Ye royal family to assemble in the court within three minutes to pay homage to their ancestors. Everyone, regardless of who they are, must do so, or they will be punished according to clan rules," Ye Qiulin commanded.

Upon hearing this, members of the Ye royal family throughout Yundu rushed towards the palace at top speed. As for Ye Liuyun, she didn't hurry to the court, but instead strolled leisurely up the rainbow staircase, asking Ye Qiulin questions as she went.

"Qiu Lin, are there any members of the Ye clan with good cultivation aptitude? I'm referring to the younger generation," Ye Liuyun asked.

Ye Qiulin felt a little embarrassed when asked this question.

“This? Great-Grandma, you may not know, but I’ve been in seclusion almost all the time trying to break through to the Divine Realm. I’m not sure if there are any particularly outstanding young descendants in this generation. I’ll ask Conglong and Haotian later; they should know more about it,” Ye Qiulin replied.

As the current matriarch of the Ye family, it's quite normal for Ye Qiulin not to know these things. Given her status, she doesn't need to care about such matters. After all, her lifespan is already limited, so why would she have time to deal with these trivial matters?

"Hmm? Okay, I understand." Ye Liuyun didn't blame her for anything.

Before long, the main hall of the imperial court was filled with a large number of members of the Ye family, men and women, as well as their wives and concubines. Of course, no one else was qualified to stand here.

"This? Your Majesty, who is this ancestor? Why have I never heard of him before?" A beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes asked, standing next to Ye Haotian.

Only the emperor and his elders knew Ye Liuyun's identity; no one else, not even his descendants, knew, let alone his wife.

That royal ancestral hall is a forbidden area for the royal family; no one is allowed to enter or leave casually.

"Your Majesty, this ancestor was named Ye Liuyun. She was the grandmother of Ye Fen's ancestor and the founder of the Immortal Realm of Longevity," Ye Haotian explained.

When Yunhou heard this, she was greatly surprised.

"What? She's the legendary woman from our Ye family? Legend has it she disappeared 90,000 years ago? How could she suddenly reappear?" Queen Yun was astonished.

Ye Haotian smiled and shook his head.

“There are some things that are secrets within our Ye clan. Although you, the Empress, have married into our Ye family, there are some things that we will not tell you. Currently, only I, a few elders, and our ancestor know these secrets,” Ye Haotian explained.

Upon hearing this, Queen Yun did not ask any further questions.

After all, Ye Haotian said that even if she was the empress, she was not qualified to know this secret. However, since the empress herself came from a family descended from disciples of the Immortal Realm of Longevity, she still knew some of it.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun appeared as if he were an immortal descending to earth, gradually emerging from the clouds and soon arriving at the entrance of the imperial court.

Many members of the Ye royal family stood outside.

As soon as Ye Liuyun landed, Ye Haotian inside immediately took the lead and shouted to Ye Liuyun at the door.

"The Ye clan members congratulate our ancestor." After saying this, he knelt down.

Even the emperor knelt down, and so did those who didn't know Ye Liuyun's identity. They didn't need to know who Ye Liuyun was; the word "ancestor" alone indicated that his identity was far removed from theirs. After all, Ye Qiulin and the others only referred to him as their ancestor.

Looking at the Ye family members kneeling on both sides, Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly. To be honest, she never thought that her descendants would develop to this extent.

Or perhaps she never imagined it would be passed down for so many generations.

Ye Liuyun strolled forward, her gaze sweeping over these people, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to see the person she wanted to see.

She was naturally looking for the Second Prince, but at that moment the Second Prince was rushing back at top speed.

The palace was completely silent. Ye Liuyun didn't speak, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly either. To be honest, Ye Liuyun didn't really like this kind of atmosphere. She had a very easygoing personality and preferred to interact and communicate with people in a relaxed manner. She didn't like so many formalities.

Because rules and regulations can create a huge gap between people.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun rarely talks about rules and prefers to take things easy. Of course, he still needs to be authoritative when necessary.

"Grandma, please take a seat." Ye Qiulin gestured for Ye Liuyun to sit on the emperor's throne.

But Ye Liuyun couldn't help but tease him.

"Hehe, wouldn't that be a bad thing? I've never been an emperor, and the current Ye family royal family probably wouldn't let a woman sit in this position."

As soon as he said this, many people in the court couldn't help but look up and steal a glance at Ye Liuyun. They were all stunned by what they saw. They hadn't expected their ancestor to be so young, looking to be only in his early twenties.

"This ancestor looks so young, and seems so gentle, not the kind of person who's difficult to get along with." This was the first impression of most people who saw Ye Liuyun.

“Ancestor, you are too modest. You were the master of the Immortal Realm of Longevity back then, which was much larger than our Yun Kingdom,” Ye Qiulin said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun chuckled, said nothing more, and leaped down in front of the silver throne, then sat down.

"Alright, you all stop kneeling. To be honest, I don't like people kneeling. Even with my daughter, I haven't made her keep performing the full salutation to me. Let's stop with this feudal etiquette from now on," Ye Liuyun gestured.

As soon as he said this, Ye Haotian was the first to stand up.

"Our ancestors said they didn't like others kneeling, so get up now," Ye Haotian reminded him.

Ye Haotian reminded them, and they stood up and looked up at Ye Liuyun sitting on the throne.

"What's with all those expressions? Do you think I'm too young? In your perception and understanding, I should be an old woman, right?" Ye Liuyun joked.

This remark immediately made some extroverted people laugh.

"Let me introduce you. This is our Ye family ancestor, or you could say our progenitor. She is the legendary woman who founded the Immortal Realm of Immortality 90,000 years ago, Ye Liuyun." Ye Qiulin began by introducing Ye Liuyun's identity.

The revelation of this identity stunned everyone present, because Ye Liuyun was practically a mythical figure to them, and now this mythical figure was standing right in front of them.

"This? My God, I always thought that the legendary ancestor of our Ye family was just a character made up by our ancestors. I never thought it was real. The ancestor is just like the one described in the myth. It is said that the ancestor was a fairy in the celestial realm..." These descendants of the Ye family couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Ye Liuyun could hear their conversation clearly.

"Is it really that exaggerated? Have I become a mythical figure?" Ye Liuyun listened to their conversation, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ye Qiulin, who was standing to the side, quickly explained what was going on. It was mainly because Ye Liuyun was too far removed from their present time, and they had deliberately concealed Ye Liuyun's identity, intentionally mythologizing him and making him exist only in the myths and legends passed down by word of mouth.

In this way, even if they don't know the specifics of Ye Liuyun, they can always remember the name Ye Liuyun. Whenever Ye Liuyun is mentioned, they will think of the goddess in their Ye family's legend.

Chapter 854 Reprimanding the Descendants (5K)

As Ye Liuyun spoke, she fell silent again. Her silence made the younger members of the Ye family inexplicably anxious, since many of them were still waiting for Ye Liuyun to bestow various benefits upon them.

The things Ye Liuyun had previously bestowed upon those outside the official family had made them extremely envious.

However, the atmosphere in the main hall became inexplicably oppressive as Ye Liuyun fell silent, and no one could understand what was going on.

Ye Qiulin, who was standing to the side, was also puzzled. She slowly stepped back to Ye Liuyun's side and asked in a low voice.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Why do you seem a little unhappy? Is it because of the Lin family?" Ye Qiulin asked inexplicably.

When Ye Qiulin asked this question, Ye Liuyun glanced at her and then gently shook her head.

This head-shaking made Ye Qiulin even more confused. After a moment of contemplation, she couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Ye Haotian, because Ye Liuyun was clearly dissatisfied with the younger generation of the Ye family, and there must be a reason for it.

"Ye Haotian, it seems that our ancestor is somewhat dissatisfied with the younger generation of the Ye family. I have been in seclusion and do not know what happened. Do you know what happened that displeased our ancestor?" Ye Qiulin asked through telepathy.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haotian immediately thought of his spoiled second son. Without hiding anything, he quickly recounted the conflict between his second son and Ye Liuyun.

After hearing this, Ye Qiulin was puzzled. Although the Second Prince had offended Ye Liuyun, the problem was that the other party did not know Ye Liuyun's identity, so it could be considered an unintentional mistake. Based on her brief interaction with Ye Liuyun, her great-grandmother should not be the type to get angry and hold someone accountable for such a small matter.

So she thought about it carefully, trying to figure out what was going on. She wasn't stupid, so she quickly understood Ye Liuyun's attitude.

"Could it be that after being offended by this boy, Grandma thinks that the younger generation of the Ye family are all spoiled brats and good-for-nothings, and that she feels ashamed of herself? That must be it, otherwise Grandma wouldn't seem so angry," Ye Qiulin muttered to herself.

After muttering to herself, she immediately let out a cold snort.

"Ye Haotian, where is your second son? I heard that he offended our ancestor on Yundu Street. Why hasn't he come out to apologize to our ancestor?" Ye Qiulin questioned.

These words immediately caused an interesting reaction. The most excited were Ye Haotian's other sons, because Ye Haotian had not yet established a crown prince for the Yun Kingdom.

Moreover, Ye Haotian has seven sons, and the most likely one to be made crown prince is the second prince, because the second prince is the son of Ye Haotian and Empress Yun.

Upon hearing this, Yunhou's expression changed, and she immediately looked at Ye Haotian.

"Your Majesty, what... what happened? When did this happen? How could Hui'er have offended our ancestors?" Empress Yun asked hurriedly.

Ye Haotian had a headache.

"They're all good sons you gave birth to," Ye Haotian said somewhat angrily.

Upon seeing this, Queen Yun hurriedly walked to the center of the main hall. Just as she was about to kneel before Ye Liuyun, she remembered that Ye Liuyun had said he didn't like being knelt to, so she respectfully performed a fairly common greeting.

"Ancestor, I never expected Hui'er to offend you. He has left the city on business and should not be in Yundu. Of course, the notice has been issued and he should be back soon. However, as Ye Hui's mother, I am responsible for failing to properly educate him. Please punish me." After saying this, the Queen knelt down.

After all, this is a responsibility, so naturally one has to kneel down.

Ye Liuyun sized up the other person, but she still didn't speak. Instead, she just calmly looked at Yunhou, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

“Ancestor, I also bear the responsibility for failing to properly educate my son. When that rebellious son returns, I will definitely punish him properly.” Ye Haotian also stepped forward.

Not only Ye Haotian, but also his sons and daughters came out one after another to apologize to Ye Liuyun, especially the princes.

However, while these princes' words seemed to be meant to share Ye Hui's responsibility, one could actually hear in their words that they wanted to push Ye Hui into the limelight.

In other words, they want to escalate the situation. If things get out of hand, Ye Hui, the legitimate son, might lose his right to the throne because of this.

Who is Ye Liuyun? How could she not understand what these guys are thinking?

The more they did this, the more uncomfortable Ye Liuyun felt. She couldn't bear to see her own family members killing each other, nor could she bear to see them become spoiled brats and troublemakers.

The reason why Ye Hui is so high-profile is definitely related to her identity. Although Yun Kingdom has not established a crown prince, he is the legitimate son, and he is likely to be the next emperor of Yun. His arrogance is actually in line with his persona.

If he hadn't run into Ye Liuyun, no one would have cared about his behavior. Even Ye Haotian probably wouldn't have taken it seriously.

For a family that has held a high position for tens of thousands of years, it would take a very long time to change its self-centered and arrogant personality.

Ye Liuyun could no longer remain silent; he had to respond.

"I actually really hate your royal family's self-centered personality. I'm not angry because this kid offended me, but because I see many things I don't like in him. Why do the common people have to make way for the royal family when they go out? It's one thing for the emperor, but what about the princes? Do you really think you're superior? I ask you, did you build up the Ye family's status yourselves?" Ye Liuyun rebuked.

These words caused all the members of the royal family present to lower their heads in embarrassment.

Because Ye Liuyun is right. The Ye family's success today is the result of the efforts of their ancestors, yet they are simply enjoying the fruits of their ancestors' labor and ruining their reputation.

Of course, it's fine to enjoy the fruits of one's labor; after all, it's reasonable for those who plant trees to provide shade for others. However, one shouldn't enjoy the fruits of one's labor while harming others.

Ye Liuyun wouldn't allow that. She allowed her descendants to be rich second-generation heirs, even if they indulged in debauchery and neglected their duties.

"Listen carefully to what our ancestors said: from this moment forward, all privileges for members of the royal family are prohibited," Ye Qiulin announced immediately.

"We will obey the ancestor's orders." The members of the royal family were certainly unwilling, but they dared not show any dissatisfaction in front of Ye Liuyun.

Because almost everything they have was given to them by Ye Liuyun.

"Privileges are necessary, but these privileges must benefit the people of Yun Kingdom, not be used to flaunt one's status. Also, as for what you want to do, I, an ancient person, have no right to say much. I am just expressing my own attitude."

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about something else important." Although Ye Liuyun didn't say many things explicitly, everyone present should understand what he meant.

Anyway, once Ye Liuyun takes them out of this dangerous space, she won't care about them anymore. Their future is in their own hands. If they are killed because of their misbehavior, then they deserve it. She will absolutely not pay the price for what these people have done.

After all, Ye Liuyun's relationship with them was really too distant, so distant that there was hardly any blood relation between them.

Because if we have to make a connection, the billions of people in the Xia Kingdom on Earth, despite having different surnames, all basically originated from the same ancestor. Keep in mind that the history of humankind on Earth is only about 10,000 years old, while this country has been around for 90,000 years.

"What are you still kneeling for? Get up and stand over there!" Ye Qiulin knew that the matter was over, so she quickly scolded them.

Ye Haotian and the others quickly got up and stepped aside.

"What I'm about to say is that once the conflicts between the various countries of the Flying Immortal Continent are resolved, I will take the Flying Immortal Continent away from this world. You may not know this, but the Flying Immortal Continent is currently trapped in a strange space, and this space is filled with a terrifying power that could destroy the Flying Immortal Continent at any time." Ye Liuyun then explained the current situation of the Flying Immortal Domain to everyone.

Upon hearing that Ye Liuyun might take them away from this world, everyone became excited. Although they didn't know the situation on the Flying Immortal Continent, they certainly knew that they were trapped in this world.

Who wouldn't want to go out and see a wider world?

They were certainly happy, but Ye Liuyun's words immediately dampened their spirits.

"But don't be too happy yet, because seeing you like this, I have no desire to take you out. I feel that if you go out in your current state, you will definitely harm the creatures of other worlds. So I'm thinking, should I leave you here to fend for yourselves?"

Ye Liuyun's words caused everyone's expressions to freeze. At the same time, his words were also very blunt, to the point that they were hard to accept. So some of the more straightforward people couldn't help but speak up.

“Ancestor, we can correct our mistakes. As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be conflicts. When our Yun Kingdom was first founded, we were so united. But the problem is that people’s hearts can change. We don’t have the same deep feelings as our ancestors. We can’t entirely blame ourselves for that.” A prince spoke up.

This is Ye Haotian's younger brother.

"Ye Haoyang, what are you saying? How dare you speak to our ancestors like that?" Ye Haotian roared.

When Ye Haoyang saw his brother reprimand him, he did not intend to remain silent.

“Brother, I’m just speaking the truth. I feel that our ancestors have been too harsh on us, the descendants of the Ye family, from the very beginning.” Ye Haoyang said again.

Just as Ye Haotian was about to say something, Ye Liuyun, who was sitting above, became interested.

"Let him speak," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

After Ye Liuyun said that, Ye Haotian had no choice but to shut up.

Ye Haoyang then began to complain.
