These things had never been opened to the public. Even his son didn't know about it, let alone outsiders.
Then there was only one possibility, and that was that he really was his uncle.
Originally, Ye Xiwen's disappearance at that time was very strange. With the progress of the times, martial arts had become more and more well-known. If Ye Xiwen went to learn martial arts from the powerhouse at that time, then everything made sense, including why they couldn't find him no matter how hard they tried, and why Ye Xiwen disappeared mysteriously.
"Nephew Zhang Li, greets uncle! Nephew didn't recognize uncle just now, please forgive me! "
Zhang Li quickly bowed and said. He was also a person who could take it easy. Since he had confirmed that the person in front of him was his uncle, there was no hesitation.
The whole scene looked abnormally strange. An old man actually knelt in front of a young man and called him uncle.
Such a situation was very common among the cultivators. There were many people who had a successful cultivation and maintained their youthful appearance.
It was just that in the environment of the earth, many people could not maintain it for a long time.
"Get up!" said Ye Xiwen faintly. "I haven't seen you for a thousand years. It's normal that you don't know me. Besides, I didn't contribute anything to the Zhang family!"
Zhang Li stood up and said, "After uncle disappeared, father did not give up looking for uncle, but there was no news of uncle!"
"I left home with a powerhouse to cultivate since I was a child. I didn't expect that the world had changed when I came back!" Said Ye Xiwen with a sigh. In the end, he still didn't tell the truth of the matter. The matter of his transmigration and rebirth was too bizarre. There was no benefit in not mentioning it. Zhang Li nodded.
Zhang Li nodded. This was consistent with his initial speculation. There was only one possibility for him to suddenly reappear after disappearing for thousands of years. No wonder my secretary couldn't do anything to my uncle just now. His cultivation must have reached an incredible level. Otherwise, how could I not see through him? He might even be a Great Sage. Only a Great Sage could break into the ancestral shrine silently without me noticing at all. Zhang Li nodded as this was consistent with his initial speculation.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. As a top family in China, the Zhang family had a strong foundation after thousands of years of development. However, the Zhang family was still ranked at the bottom among the top families because they lacked a Great Sage to hold the fort.
In this chaotic world, only the top forces could stand in this world. Although their family also had a good relationship with some Great Sages of sects, the forces of other sects were just other sects after all. How could they be compared to their own family's?
If the Zhang Family could have a Great Sage, then there was no doubt that the Zhang Family could go to a higher level and truly become the top family in China and even the entire world. They could compete with those huge sects.
Right now, the Zhang family was able to summon the wind and summon the rain. To a large extent, it was because they had borrowed the power of the entire Huaxia Empire. In front of the state apparatus, especially with the great advancement in technology and mecha that could pose a threat to high-level martial artists, even sects would not dare to challenge the state apparatus.
However, the Zhang family was the weakest among the top families. The reason was that they lacked a Great Sage to hold the fort. In contrast, they had always lacked the top deterrent force.
Next to him, that elegant middle-aged man was also looking at Ye Xiwen with an incredulous look on his face. Although he was only a secretary, but he had personally accompanied Zhang Li to worship the ancestors. This clearly showed that he was Zhang Li's trusted aide, and was deeply trusted by him.
However, he had followed Zhang Li for more than two hundred years. But, he had never heard of such a ridiculously powerful person in the Zhang family. Ye Xiwen had shaken off his attack without even moving. Even an ordinary sage expert couldn't do this.
"When I left home in the past, I didn't expect that the Zhang family would one day become a top family in China. The world is unpredictable. The will of the heavens is like a knife. It's probably like this. You have contributed a lot to the Zhang family's current situation. I didn't contribute at all. So, I'm just an outsider. So, there's nothing to say!"
Ye Xiwen said. "What are you talking about, Eldest Uncle? We wouldn't have stayed in touch for so many years if we had known that Eldest Uncle was still alive!" Zhang Li promptly replied. "This is already unfilial of us!"
"It's nothing. The Zhang family has been developing better and better these years without me!" Ye Xiwen said. How could he not see through Zhang Li's thoughts? However, he was the ancestor of the Zhang family. So, these things were a matter of course. "I've come back this time to pay my respects to my relatives. I didn't want to alarm anyone. It's fate that I've met you!"
"Eldest Uncle, we didn't know that Eldest Uncle was still alive. So, we couldn't show our filial piety to you. Now that Eldest Uncle has come back, let us have the opportunity to show our filial piety!" Zhang Li promptly said.
"Don't worry. I won't leave these next few days. You should be suffering from an old illness now. The limit of sage realm is two thousand years. And, you're not even a thousand years old. So, you're already getting old. I will help you recuperate as much as possible during this period!" Ye Xiwen said.
Ye Xiwen had returned. So, it was impossible for him to do nothing and let the Zhang family go on like this as an uncle.
Zhang Li had broken through to the peak of sage realm in just a few hundred years. Theoretically speaking, it was very easy for him to break through to the Great Sage realm.
However, he couldn't break through because his old injuries had consumed too much of his vitality. So, there was no way to go further.
Ye Xiwen wanted to recuperate Zhang Li. Then, it would only be a matter of time for him to break through to the Great Sage realm with his accumulation.
"What?" Zhang Li opened his eyes wide. He couldn't believe it. This was simply a miracle. He was one of the top experts in China. It could be said that he was close to a solution. However, he couldn't do anything about his own chronic illness.
He had fought on the battlefield in his early years, leaving too many internal injuries. It was not a big deal when he was young, but now it had collectively broken out. He should have just reached the prime of his life, but in fact, he had already entered the stage of old age. It could be said that he was prematurely aging.
"En, this is not a big problem. It will be fine as long as you recuperate for a period of time. At that time, you still have a lot of time to break through to the Great Sage realm. If you have the opportunity in the future, it is not impossible to go further. The Great Sage realm is just a preparation for the real starting point of cultivation!"
Ye Xiwen nodded and said. He was talking about the later Transcendent Realm. In his opinion, the previous realm was just laying the foundation. Only by entering the Transcendent Realm could one truly enter the cultivation.
If this matter was revealed, it would definitely be shocking. However, with his identity and strength, he was qualified to say this.
Zhang Li couldn't believe it. Listening to Ye Xiwen's tone, it seemed that even the Great Sage realm, the highest realm in the mortal world, was nothing. It was simply unimaginable to what extent his cultivation had reached. It was unfathomable.
He was even more delighted in his heart. He could fully imagine that if he could get Ye Xiwen's support, the development of the Zhang Family would definitely be able to reach a higher level.
The next generation of the Zhang Family might even have a chance to ascend to the highest position.
"You are still young. In the environment of the earth, it is already good to have such cultivation. If you can go further in the future, you can support the future of the Zhang Family. As your uncle, I can't help you too much. I can't protect the Zhang Family's wealth for eternity. You should know that the world will decline when it reaches its peak. The Zhang Family is now on the path of prosperity. How long it can be maintained is not up to me or you, but it depends on whether there can be a continuous flow of talents in the future!"
Said Ye Xiwen. Even if he had entered the Tao Confirmation, he couldn't guarantee that he could protect a force for ten thousand years. After all, even if it was an immortal inheritance created by the gods, it was not uncommon for it to decline or even be completely annihilated in the end.
As the ancestor of the Zhang Family, it was already worthy of the Zhang Family to be able to protect the Zhang Family's wealth for thousands of years. It was impossible for him to take care of everything.
"Thank you, uncle!" said Zhang Li quickly. The old illness in his body had been torturing him for many years.
"Xiao Xian greets Martial Granduncle!" Said Xiao Xian with a formal salute. Zhang Li was Ye Xiwen's nephew. He was considered as Gao Chengye's junior. For Xiao Xian, he was naturally Martial Granduncle.
"Uncle, this is …" asked Zhang Li, looking at Ye Xiwen.
"This is the descendant of an apprentice that I accepted. You deserve to call you Martial Granduncle!" said Ye Xiwen.
The more Zhang Li looked at Xiao Xian, the more familiar he felt as if he had seen her somewhere before.
"You don't have to look. Her ancestor is Gao Chengye!" said Ye Xiwen.
At this moment, Zhang Li finally remembered why this little girl looked so familiar. This person was none other than Gao Chengye's only remaining descendant, Gao Xuexian. She was the one who had caused a sensation during this period of time.
As one of the top big shots in China, it was naturally impossible for him to be ignorant of what happened in the Pilgrimage Palace. In fact, there were people from the military who went there at that time. Everything was transmitted back in real-time, so he was very clear about it.
China also felt that the remaining bloodline of the Pilgrimage Palace was very troublesome. On one hand, the Pilgrimage Palace played a great role in the development of China in the past. On the other hand, it was difficult to provoke the various forces.
It was just that Ye Xiwen and Xiao Xian disappeared later. No one knew where they went, but the Pilgrimage Mountain had been sealed.
It was sealed by the array laid by Ye Xiwen. Many people wanted to go and explore, but they were blocked by Ye Xiwen's array.
Many people secretly sighed at the exquisiteness of the array. It was in harmony with heaven and earth. It was almost operated by the power of heaven and earth, so it did not need other energy to provide. Although the Great Sage was strong, it was still far from competing with heaven and earth.
It was just that he never expected that the person who looked down upon in the rumors was actually his uncle.
