Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone from the Ye Clan who had entered the treasure house three years ago returned one after another. It was especially rumored that Ye Qiong had obtained great benefits from the treasure house. As soon as he returned, he immediately entered a state of closed-door training.
Soon, the rumor that Ye Qiong had obtained an ancient word also spread. This matter itself was not a secret, not to mention that so many people had seen it. As for the secret contained in this ancient word, no one knew. Even Ye Qiong did not know before he refined it.
However, there was someone who also knew this secret, and that was Ye Xiwen!
He had already imprinted the word 'Dou' into his mind, even though he had used up all of his Spirit Crystals just to copy the word 'Dou'.
This word "Dou" was indeed related to the word "Wu". The two words reflected each other in Ye Xiwen's mind.
Subsequently, the news of Ye Qiong fighting against three people by himself and completely suppressing Teng Tongtian and the other two were also exposed. For a time, the morale of the Ye Clan soared. The name of Nan Batian was once again discussed enthusiastically.
Among these rumors, some of the rumors about Ye Xiwen were also submerged in many others. Because compared to Ye Qiong's dazzling brilliance, Ye Xiwen was nothing at all.
When Ye Xiwen returned to the Ye Clan, Ye Junhai and the others had already returned to Luoye City. They originally came to participate in the centennial ancestral worship ceremony, so they would not stay here permanently.
However, Ye Xiwen still chose to stay at the contact point of the main branch in Luoye City, in the courtyard.
This time, Ye Xiwen had a great harvest from the treasure house, even more than Ye Qiong. However, he did not have time to rest. As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, he received a message from the Law Enforcement Hall that Ye Zhentian wanted to see him.
Ye Xiwen did not know why, but since this was the case, he would go.
Ye Xiwen rushed to the Law Enforcement City. There was no difference from three years ago. However, Ye Xiwen's mentality had undergone a huge change. Back then, Ye Xiwen was just a kid at the Third or Fourth Level of Law Phase Realm. Now, he could already kill a half-step Celestial Realm expert.
Do not underestimate half-step Sky Human stage experts. True Sky Human stage experts would rarely personally take action. Most of them would spend their time in cultivation retreat. Thus, the ones truly in charge of the various organizations were half-step Sky Human stage experts. They could be considered as the backbone and pillars of the organization.
This time, Ye Xiwen didn't see Ye Xue. He heard that Ye Xue was still in closed-door training. It seemed that all the geniuses were either in closed-door training or preparing to do closed-door training. Everything was in preparation for the upcoming Imperial Court Struggle.
It would be a grand meeting of all the geniuses of the human race. If one could make a name for himself there, his name would spread throughout the entire human domain, perhaps even throughout the primordial era.
Ye Xiwen quickly entered the Law Enforcement Hall and saw Ye Zhentian.
"Ye Xiwen greets Hall Master!" Ye Xiwen saluted and said.
"I heard about your performance in the treasure house. Good, very good!" Ye Zhentian flipped through a scroll of information on the table. Ye Xiwen glanced at it casually and found that it was all about him. Many of them were about his actions in the treasure house.
Ye Xiwen was slightly shocked. He had underestimated the Law Enforcement Hall's intelligence agency. Fortunately, Ye Zhentian did not have any malicious intent. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
"You are indeed from our Law Enforcement Hall!" Ye Zhentian said. "Did you kill Ye Xing?"
Ye Zhentian asked the most important question. Although Ye Xiwen did not hesitate to kill Ye Xing, there was no doubt that the death of a genius like Ye Xing would definitely attract the attention of many higher-ups. Not to mention, he still had a higher-up father, Ye Qian.
Ye Xiwen nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes … because he plotted against me at that time, I could only fight back in self-defense!"
Ye Zhentian saw that Ye Xiwen did not hesitate and his eyes flashed with a bit of admiration. If Ye Xiwen had concealed the truth just now, it would have caused him to be unhappy, and he would have looked down on Ye Xiwen. Although self-defense was necessary, it also depended on the situation. If even he could not believe it, then Ye Xiwen's scheming was too deep. Such a person was a disaster, not a blessing.
"In that case, I killed him. He actually dared to plot against you!" Ye Zhentian was not surprised by Ye Xing's death. He actually plotted against Ye Xiwen. If this was not courting death, then what was? "But you should know that although I will not pursue this matter, I am afraid that old bastard Ye Qian will not let this go. He cultivated Ye Xing for hundreds of years and finally pulled him out. Just when he was about to become famous in the Ye family, he was killed by you. I am afraid that he is going to riot now!"
Ye Xiwen's face showed a bit of a bitter smile, but then he said, "Then let him come!"
"Good, well said. How can the people of our Law Enforcement Hall be afraid of that old bastard!" Ye Zhentian laughed and said. "However, that old bastard has always been unruly. If he disregards his status and secretly attacks you, then it will be terrible!"
Thinking of this, Ye Zhentian pondered for a moment and said, "Ye Xiwen, are you willing to worship me as your master?"
Ye Xiwen was shocked. Worshipping Ye Zhentian as a master was a completely different concept from before.
In this world, a master for a day was a father for a lifetime. Similarly, once he was accepted as a disciple by Ye Zhentian, then his status in the Law Enforcement Hall would also rise. It was a big deal just like Ye Xukong becoming the master of the family.
When Ye Xiwen was in the True Martial School, he became the disciple of the Tibetan Star Son. Later on, the Tibetan Star Son helped him many times. For Ye Xiwen, the Tibetan Star Son did not hesitate to fall out with the other big shots. The meaning of this was naturally different.
However, Ye Xiwen did not hesitate for long. He immediately kowtowed and said, "Disciple greets Master!"
In this world, there was no such thing as worshipping only one master for life. As the saying goes, those who reach first. Even if the Tibetan Star Son was here, he would also agree to worship Ye Zhentian as a master.
"Good, good, good!" Ye Zhentian laughed heartily and said. He looked at Ye Xiwen with eyes full of love and affection. Previously, Ye Xiwen was just a subordinate of his Law Enforcement Hall, but now, he was his disciple. Naturally, things were different. In this world, there was a saying that a teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. Similarly, disciples were almost equivalent to children. Especially in this world, many warriors were too powerful, so they didn't marry in their entire life. Or they didn't marry at all. Disciples were equivalent to their descendants.
"Now, you are my disciple. If anyone dares to touch you, I will help you block those old guys. If they dare to touch you, I will fight my way to their door and turn them upside down!" Ye Zhentian said heroically.
This heroism also infected Ye Xiwen. With such a master protecting him, many things would be much easier to handle.
"However, you have to deal with those boys of the younger generation by yourself. These are also part of your training. If you can't even deal with these people, then you will disappoint me too much!" Ye Zhentian said.
"That's natural. Master has already helped me block those older generation experts. If I can't even deal with these remaining people, then I will have no face to see anyone!" Ye Xiwen said in a powerful voice.
"Good, well said. However, your cultivation time is still too short. You may be considered top-notch when compared to Ye Xue and the others. However, you are still lacking when compared to those five boys of the 'Five Tyrants'!" Ye Zhentian was the Law Enforcement Hall's Hallmaster. His vision was naturally very high. Ordinary people simply couldn't enter his eyes. Only the top existences like the 'Five Tyrants' could make him pay attention to them.
He was not muddle-headed. Ye Xiwen's cultivation time was still too short. In the future, he might soar to the sky. Perhaps, he might even be able to defeat the 'God's Child'. However, at present, he was still a young eagle and needed to be protected. In the future, he would soar to the sky.
Ye Xiwen was not surprised because his goal was also to reach the level of the 'Five Tyrants'.
"Since you are already my disciple, then I will personally guide you in your cultivation from now on!" Ye Zhentian said, "I have also seen your information. Since you have returned to the Ye family, your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. This is admittedly very powerful, but at the same time, it has left behind many hidden dangers!"
Ye Xiwen was about to say that it was impossible, but he saw Ye Zhentian say: "I know what you want to say. Your foundation is very solid. It is indeed the best I have seen in my life. However, you must understand that the path of martial arts cultivation is absolutely not limited to the practice of martial arts. Let me ask you, what is the essence of martial arts?"
"The essence of martial arts is to go against the heaven's will and change one's fate!" Ye Xiwen said.
Ye Xiwen blurted out almost without any hesitation. For many people, they absolutely wouldn't say such words. However, Ye Xiwen was different. He had been accompanied by Ye Mo since a long time ago. Therefore, his vision was far higher than that of an ordinary warrior.
From the very beginning, he stood at a very high starting point to look at martial arts cultivation, and the effect was naturally extraordinary. "That's right, the essence of martial arts is not to be brave and ruthless.
"That's right, the essence of martial arts is not to be brave and ruthless, nor is it some kind of fighting technique created by the ancient ancestors for the sake of survival. In essence, it is to defy the heaven and change one's fate. Our human race is famous for its short lifespan. If we don't practice, then even if we live in a place full of Lingqi, we can only live for a short hundred years. In the end, people are afraid of death, and in order to live longer, they have created all kinds of cultivation methods. Defying the heaven is the essence of cultivation. As for the various martial techniques and moves, they are just derived from this process. Although it can't be said that they are completely irrelevant, but compared to the true essence, they are still insignificant. The true essence is to comprehend the heaven's way, so that one day, one can defy the heaven and change one's fate, change everything, and thus achieve the goal of eternal life!" Ye Zhentian explained to Ye Xiwen.
