Ye Wuhen looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Xuan 'er, the Jiuhua Alliance has existed for tens of thousands of years. The position of Alliance Leader has always been passed down to the Ye family. Among all the great forces on the Sky Sword Continent, we are the oldest. The reason we have survived for so many years without being replaced is because of the painstaking efforts of our ancestors. Since you are my son, you are the young master of the Jiuhua Alliance. There are some things that you should know."
With that, Ye Wuhen stood up and said, "Come with me."
Lu Xuan looked at Zhao Ying. She smiled and said, "Go. There are many good things in the Jiuhua Alliance. This is what you deserve. For twenty years, Wuhen and I have not fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. Now, it is only natural that we give you the best."
Lu Xuan did not doubt Zhao Ying's words. As one of the oldest forces on the Heavenly Sword Continent, the Jiuhua Alliance's foundation was immeasurably deep. The amount of resources they had accumulated was not something he could imagine. If even the Profound Ice Pavilion had a place like the Profound Ice Secret Realm, how could the Jiuhua Alliance not have their own secret realms?
"Mother, please take care of Xiao Han and Bing 'er," Ye Wuhen said, bowing. Zhao Ying nodded. In the past, she had been quite critical of Lu Xuan for being such a playboy. However, now that she knew that Lu Xuan was her biological son, her attitude immediately changed. She wished that she could have as many daughters-in-law as possible. It would be best if she could have a large group of children. As a mother, she would naturally side with her children.
Under Ye Wuhen's guidance, Lu Xuan followed her into the depths of the Jiuhua Alliance. As they walked, Ye Wuhen said, "Speaking of the Jiuhua Alliance, I must first tell you about the Ye family. The Ye family has a long history. According to our family records, it can be traced back to thirty thousand years ago."
"The name of the Ye Clan's ancestor was Ye Tian. Back then, he was a world-shaking figure who could move unhindered in the Heavenly Sword Continent. After that, he ascended to the Heaven Region and disappeared. His wife raised the ancestor's son by herself. She painstakingly cultivated the cultivation methods and martial skills left behind by the ancestor. Her achievements were extraordinary, and she brought the Ye Clan to greater heights …
"However, the Jiuhua Alliance was founded twenty thousand years ago. At that time, the Ye family existed as a family. At that time, the Burning Sky Temple did not tolerate them. In the end, a great war broke out. the Ye family's accumulated power far exceeded the Burning Sky Temple's expectations. Not only did they fail to suppress the Ye family, they were destroyed by the Ye family. Therefore, the Ye family's leader, Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu, of the Ye, chose to replace them.
"Ye Xiu is another world-shocking expert of our Ye Clan after our ancestor. It is precisely because of Ye Xiu's existence that caused the Burning Heaven Hall to feel fear towards the Ye Clan, and launched an encirclement against the Ye Clan. After Ye Xiu founded the Jiuhua Alliance, he learned the lesson of the destruction of the Burning Sky Temple. He tried to rope in and suppress all the families that existed at that time. Because of the Ye family's power, most of the families chose to join the Jiuhua Alliance.
"Therefore, Ye Xiu changed the Jiuhua Alliance to the Jiuhua Alliance. There were nine halls under the alliance. The position of leader was inherited by the Ye family, and the nine hall masters were controlled by the Nine Great Families at that time. There were also elders in the alliance. All matters, big or small, were decided by the elders, and the leader had veto power."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan wanted to say something but stopped. Noticing Lu Xuan's expression, Ye Wuheng could not help but chuckle. "Do you think that by delegating power like this, the Ye family's power will be weakened, and the Nine Great Families will be a greater constraint on the Ye family?"
Lu Xuan nodded. That was indeed what he thought. Although the power of the leader was unparalleled, the nine halls controlled by the Nine Great Families had to listen to his orders.
Ye Wuheng laughed and said, "This is the brilliance of Ye Xiu. Comfort makes people sink, and adversity pushes them forward. As the saying goes, a thousand-year sect, a ten-thousand-year holy land. A force that can exist for ten thousand years can be called a holy land. This means that no matter how great a force is, it will be destroyed one day. Just like the kingdoms in the secular world, they will be separated after a long time, and they will be united after a long time.
"Only with these constraints can every successor of the Ye family have a heart that does not dare to be negligent. Facts have proven that Patriarch Ye Xiu's approach is correct. Now, our Jiuhua Alliance has stood tall for twenty thousand years. In the history of the Heavenly Sword Continent, the Jiuhua Alliance has existed for the longest time. So much so that the Holy Temple of Eight Corners and the Illusionary God Sect, to a certain extent, have all learned from the Jiuhua Alliance's structure."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan seemed to understand something. He nodded and said, "I see. Patriarch Ye Xiu is indeed a man of great wisdom. I have learned from you. I have been in adversity since I was a child. When I was young, my talent did not show, and my cultivation was extremely difficult. However, this has forged my unswerving mind. Later on, I have suffered many hardships and narrowly escaped death several times. That is why I have achieved the strength I have today."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Ye Wuheng nodded with satisfaction. "You have not been by my side since you were a child, but at such a young age, you have reached a height that countless warriors cannot reach in their lifetime. Even if you don't tell me, I know that it must not have been easy for you. However, the reason why our Ye family has been able to continue to this day, apart from what I have just said, is not the most important. "
Lu Xuan looked at Ye Wuheng, a little puzzled. Ye Wuheng revealed a hint of confidence. She stretched out her hand and clenched her fist, saying, "What has supported our Ye family for ten thousand years is strength!"
"In the Heavenly Sword Continent, strength is everything. What I have said before is just to keep the Ye family in the constant pursuit of strength. I am only forty-nine years old this year, but I have already reached the peak of the Great Void Realm. This is the real reason why I am able to lead the Jiuhua Alliance and keep my word. "
When Lu Xuan heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He knew that because of Ye Tian's enchantment, the people of the Heavenly Sword Continent could not break through to the Transcendent Realm on the Heavenly Sword Continent. The peak of the Great Void Realm was the strongest realm. Ye Wuheng had reached the peak of the Great Void Realm in less than fifty years. It was clear that she was extremely talented, and Lu Xuan had undoubtedly inherited Ye Wuheng's excellent talent.
Ye Wuhen laughed and patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder, saying, "The talent you've shown me is even more outstanding than mine. I've only achieved my current level of strength thanks to the influence of the Jiuhua Alliance and countless resources. You, on the other hand, have reached the Second Tier of the Great Void Realm on your own. I'm sure you'll achieve more in the future."
"The reason I am telling you all this is to tell you that apart from founding the Jiuhua Alliance, Patriarch Ye Xiu also left a true treasure for the Ye family. This is the real reason why the Ye family has so many strong cultivators, and why it has not declined for twenty thousand years. Even if the Jiuhua Alliance is destroyed one day, as long as this treasure remains, the Ye family will be able to rise again. "
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be tempted. Treasures, secret realms, legacies — these things were extremely tempting to warriors. How could the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance, which had existed for twenty thousand years, be inferior?
"When Patriarch Ye Xiu founded Mount Jiuhua and founded the Jiuhua Alliance, he made Mount Jiuhua a private, forbidden area of the Ye family. After that, he spent his entire life building Mount Jiuhua, making it an excellent place to train. Before Patriarch Ye Xiu ascended to the Heaven Realm, he left behind a message: whoever inherits the position of Alliance Leader must do everything in their power to build Mount Jiuhua. This is the foundation of the Ye family's legacy, and the foundation of our descendants."
"So, the Secret Realm of Mount Jiuhua is the true treasure of the Ye family, the place where the strongest of the family can be made?" Lu Xuan asked.
Ye Wuhen nodded, "That's right. After Patriarch Ye Xiu ascended to the Heaven Realm, all those who inherited the position of Alliance Leader followed his instructions and spent a great deal of manpower, material, and financial resources to build Mount Jiuhua. There are countless ways to train. You have to know that the Jiuhua Alliance has existed for so long, and its ancestors have mastered all kinds of methods. Mount Jiuhua today is the crystallization of countless ancestors' efforts, and all the essentials have been put into Mount Jiuhua."
Lu Xuan was fascinated by the story. Ye Xiu alone would not have been able to create an unparalleled Land of Heritage. However, all the ancestors who had inherited the position of Alliance Master over the past 20,000 years had come to Mount Jiuhua to help. That was a little scary. It was no wonder that the Jiuhua Alliance had been around for 20,000 years. Even the catastrophe 10,000 years ago did not destroy the Alliance. It should be noted that sects such as the Holy Temple of Eight Directions and the Phantom God Sect only began to appear after the catastrophe 10,000 years ago. It was because other forces were destroyed that the Holy Temple of Eight Directions and the Phantom God Sect were able to survive.
While Lu Xuan was excited, he heard Ye Wuhen sigh, "It's a pity that Mount Jiuhua hasn't changed for almost 10,000 years. All we can do is spend a lot of resources to keep Mount Jiuhua in its original state."
"Why?" Lu Xuan was puzzled. According to Ye Wuhen, every Alliance Leader's lifelong goal was to build Mount Jiuhua. Mount Jiuhua should be stronger.
Ye Wuhen smiled bitterly and said, "Because for the past 10,000 years, our Ye Clan has not produced anyone who can surpass our ancestors. Among them, there are many talented people, but no matter what, they can't cross the threshold of the Grand Virtual Realm. They can't even reach the Extraordinary Realm, so how can we talk about improving the crystallization of our ancestors' efforts?"
Lu Xuan suddenly understood. So that was the case. He immediately smiled bitterly. He couldn't blame anyone else for this. After all, it was their ancestor, Ye Tian, who caused this result. Moreover, Ye Tian was also thinking for the sake of the entire Sky Sword Continent. Otherwise, when the armies of the Soul race and the Demon race descended, even the Sky Sword Continent wouldn't be able to survive, let alone the Ye Clan.
However, Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to reveal this matter. This was a matter of great importance. Not only did it concern the Ye Clan, the Sky Sword Continent, but it also concerned the entire human race in the Heaven Region. Before he reached the Extraordinary Realm and broke the seal of the Sky Sword Continent, Lu Xuan wasn't prepared to reveal this secret.
