Chapter 407: Chapter 400: Ye Xuance’s Seated Transformation (Second Update, Requesting Subscription)
The Grand Elder talked about the plan, discussing the strategy for attacking Bear Leader.
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"You don’t need to do anything!" the Grand Elder said. "You just need to observe. Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, don’t intervene. As long as you don’t take action, the situation can be controlled."
War has victories, and it also has failures; that’s nothing out of the ordinary.
The most terrifying thing is when a war becomes uncontrollable.
Many people think that war is about using all means necessary to defeat the enemy.
Saying this only proves one’s ignorance and stupidity.
Once war enters an era of recklessness, it can go out of control, the scale of war keeps expanding, reaching a stage neither side can predict.
Therefore, a smart enemy often values martial ethics and often seeks to control the scale of the war.
The Demon Race in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and humans frequently engage in great wars, often having fierce bloodsheds, with beast tides once every century and a major showdown once every five centuries.
But no matter how they fight, both sides set a good time, confirm the scope of the war, the level of cultivators participating, and then commence fighting.
The benefit of this is controlling the scale and progress of the war, allowing for quick commencement, and quick conclusion.
Similarly, this time the Lu Family, Sun Family, and Zhao Family, attacking Bear Leader, are also abiding by both parties’ rules.
"Let the Grand Elder arrange it!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
"You just wait and see!" The Grand Elder smiled.
"By the way, not long ago, Ye Xuance passed away!"
Seemingly remembering something, the Grand Elder said.
"Another old acquaintance has passed away!"
Lu Xuanji sighed, "I will go to pay my respects to him, and bring Ye Wanyi along!"
"Yes, respect should be paid. Ye Xuance was friendly with the Lu Family when he was alive, but others might not be the same!" The Grand Elder said worriedly.
...
After waiting for a while, Ye Wanyi came out of seclusion!
At this time, Ye Wanyi had consolidated her cultivation and was a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
To consolidate the realm, it took her a full sixty years.
Ye Wanyi said, "Husband, I missed you!"
"Wanyi, I missed you too!"
Lu Xuanji said.
Speaking, the two embraced each other, being intimately close.
Soon, they were caught in joyful times.
Time passes, in moments of happiness one often forgets time, not knowing how long before they finally stopped.
Leaning on her husband’s chest, Ye Wanyi said, "Husband, being able to enter Nascent Soul this time is all thanks to Elder Sister Xi Yue. If she hadn’t made a heavy investment for me to get the quota for that Secret Realm, I might not have entered Nascent Soul."
"It’s just a pity you’re only at the Golden Core Eighth Transformation!"
Lu Xuanji said regretfully.
"Husband, your talent is exceptional; naturally, you don’t see the Golden Core Eighth Transformation as anything. But my aptitude is limited, my understanding is limited, my talent is limited, can’t compare to you or True Monarch Xi Yue. Being able to form an Eighth Transformation Golden Core is already the limit... Ninth Transformation is fundamentally impossible!"
Ye Wanyi said, but her mood was relaxed.
She was already quite satisfied with everything now.
In the past, becoming a Purple Mansion Cultivator was considered a successful life, but now being a Nascent Soul Cultivator has already far exceeded that.
Listening, Lu Xuanji sighed slightly in his heart.
Wealth is in the first place.
In theory, as long as there are enough resources, even a waste can become a genius.
Profound Energy Can Save, Krypton Energy Can Change Fate.
As long as there are enough Spirit Stones, a cultivator’s fate can be changed.
In fact, this is true. Those top cultivators can already change a cultivator’s Spirit Root; think the Five Spirit Roots are not good, want to change to Celestial Spirit Root, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is very easy.
With the help of his Spirit Stones, Ye Wanyi’s dual roots of ice and fire were transformed into Ice Spirit Root; her mortal body transformed into Ice Soul Dao Body.
Her fate was changing.
It’s just a pity, even with continuous cultivation, spending a lot of Spirit Stones, Ye Wanyi can only be cultivated into a hero, but could not become an ultimate hero.
The Golden Core Eighth Transformation is Ye Wanyi’s extreme;
As for the Golden Core Ninth Transformation, it is utterly impossible.
True Monarch Xi Yue was extremely generous, once giving Ye Wanyi some Immortal Gold, but ultimately, it simply couldn’t be refined, destined to have no Ninth Transformation.
Under the influence of spending, it can cultivate a hero, but not an unmatched hero.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji realized for the first time, Spirit Stones are not omnipotent.
...
After their happiness, Lu Xuanji talked about the matters of the Ye Family, and about Ye Xuance’s passing.
"Shall we go to see him?"
Lu Xuanji said, "To send him off on his final journey!"
"In those years, I was able to become a cultivator also because of this clan leader’s policies!" Ye Wanyi said, recalling the goodness of the old clan leader.
Never forget the person who digs the well when you drink water.
Some cultivators don’t explicitly do good for any individual, but the policies they enact benefit a large number of ordinary people.
In those days, Ye Wanyi was just a girl from the Mortal World, due to oversight in detection, her age was over limit.
But it was precisely due to Ye Xuance’s policies that she entered the Ye Family and became its cultivator.
Ye Family provided her some basic benefits, didn’t treat her harshly, nor did they give her privilege, yet allowed her to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and enter a new circle.
Now that Ye Xuance has passed, it is right to send off this elder.
After tidying up, bringing some tribute, the two set out.
When they arrived at the Ye Family, they stayed low-key.
But the Ye Family Elders still personally greeted them, leading them to the location in the back mountains, where there were graves.
A new grave had appeared in the center.
The words inscribed on the tombstone read, [The Tomb of Ye Xuance]
The soil here was still fresh.
Everyone has their mound of earth.
Looking at the grave, Lu Xuanji suddenly felt fearful.
If one day he passed away, would he also end up here, becoming a cold corpse?
No!
I want to live forever, I want to cultivate immortality, I want to be immortal!
Looking at the mound of earth, the thought of longevity rose up in his heart.
I want to become an Immortal, live hundreds of years, tens of thousands of years.
I want my life to be as long as the heavens, coexisting with the sun and moon.
"Senior, I am here to send you on your way!"
Lu Xuanji said, placing down tributes and gifts in front of the grave.
At this moment, a woman appeared, slender figure, tears on her face, it was Ye Linglong.
Ye Linglong spoke, "Thank you for coming to attend to my father’s resting place!"
"Over the years, the relationship between the Ye Family and the Lu Family has been deep, and they’ve been closely connected, with many marriages between the two families." Lu Xuanji said, "Now that the senior has departed, I am here to send him off on his journey!"
Especially back then, when the Lu Family was breached by Ancestor Yan Yang, the clan suffered heavy losses, in its most difficult period.
Many cultivators from the Ye Family planned to strike against the Lu Family.
But Ye Xuance stood firm alone, not only did he not strike against the Lu Family, but he also provided some assistance to help the Lu Family through the most difficult times.
