Ye Qinghan shrugged, left the library, and went directly to the Clan Elder's hall.
The Clan Elder was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and cultivating his mind. He was very comfortable. When he saw Ye Qinghan come in, he nodded and said, "Did you find anything useful?"
"This junior did not find the records I wanted, but thank you, senior," Ye Qinghan said with a bow.
"Sit down. It's not that this old man forbids you from entering the fourth floor and above, but the ancestral rules forbid outsiders from entering." The Clan Elder gestured with his hand and said solemnly.
"Yes, I asked Jiang Jingheng and Jiang Jingyun to help me read the records about the origin of martial arts and the origin of chaos and extract them. I will give you the secret technique as compensation. I did not discuss this with you in advance, so please don't blame me," Ye Qinghan said truthfully.
"As long as it's purely historical records, it's fine." The old man was very calm and did not have the slightest dignity. Perhaps it was because he had always been aloof from worldly affairs that he was so easy to talk to.
"Thank you, senior. This junior has another matter. I heard that tomorrow is the gathering of the beast tamers. This junior wants to go with them to broaden his horizons. I hope senior will allow me to do so." Ye Qinghan looked at the old man and asked expectantly.
"Okay, but don't say that you're an outsider. Just change your attire a little and follow Jiang Jingheng and his sister closely. Just say that you're their elder brother, Jiang Jingtian." The elder hesitated for a moment, then said with a sigh.
Jiang Jingtian was a peerless genius who cultivated to the Giant God Realm at the age of ten thousand. This was the true Giant God of Chaos level, which was slightly higher than Ye Qinghan's current level. His combat strength was monstrous, and his martial arts skills, as well as his tamed Chaos Divine Beast Qilin cub, allowed him to sweep through the younger generation of the beast tamers. He even surpassed the older generation of Giant Gods. However, ten years ago, he entered the Abyss World and mysteriously disappeared. No one knew if he was alive or dead, causing the Jiang Clan to suffer heavy losses.
"Jingtian is used to wearing beast skins and a qilin mask. This old man has a set of his clothes here. Take it and wear it." The Clan Elder's face was gloomy and sorrowful, as if Jiang Jingtian was his closest relative.
Ye Qinghan watched as the old man took out a set of animal skin clothing and a mask. His fingertips twitched, but he didn't immediately put them on. Ye Qinghan was curious as to why the elder wanted him to pretend to be such a genius.
"You must be very puzzled, right?" The Clan Elder smiled bitterly. He stroked the qilin mask and said in a hoarse voice, "Jingtian is my great-great-grandson, as well as Jing Heng and Jing Yun's elder brother. He is the child I value the most and has the potential to inherit my position in the future. He is also someone who has the ability to lead our clan to the peak. Unfortunately, the heavens are jealous of geniuses. His life tablet broke, but strangely, it did not break. I am completely unable to tell whether he is alive or dead …"
The Clan Elder took a deep breath and sighed, "The beast tamers were divided into three factions. Originally, it was just to make it convenient for the inheritance. However, later on, they were divided into three factions. In the absence of external enemies, the internal strife between the three factions is very fierce. In recent years, our clan has only produced one genius, Jingtian. If they know that Jingtian has left, our Martial God City will have a hard time. Letting you pretend to be him is also to intimidate the other two factions. Don't worry, no one dares to challenge Jingtian, so your identity will not be exposed."
Only then did Ye Qinghan understand. He reached out and took the clothes and mask.
"Your figure is very similar to his. Can you put it on and let me take a look?" The Clan Elder asked in a hoarse voice.
Ye Qinghan nodded. He got up and found a room to change into the clothes. Then, he put on the mask and walked over.
The Clan Elder's eyes were actually filled with murky tears. His hands were trembling as he muttered, "So … so much like him!"
Strong and vigorous body, muscular limbs, hair flying behind his temples, and his bare arms appearing thick and powerful. This unique temperament could only be displayed by Ye Qinghan. Only this kind of person could display the confidence of an invincible king.
"The clan only knows that Jingtian has entered the depths. They don't know that he has gone missing. They also don't know that his life tablet has been broken. You appeared in his name. Your voice is a bit hoarse and slightly changed. No one can recognize you. After all, you haven't appeared for ten years." The Clan Elder reminded him in a deep voice, "If someone really provokes you at the gathering, you can completely ignore it. You must not make a move because that group of elites is really powerful. They are even more powerful than Jiang Wu. Coupled with their divine power and ferocious pets, you are no match for them."
Ye Qinghan nodded and said, "Senior, don't worry. I will act according to my ability. I will not be reckless."
After the discussion, Ye Qinghan returned to his room. He waited until nighttime before Jiang Jingyun and Jiang Jingheng came over with the handwritten notes that they had extracted.
Ye Qinghan looked at the few pieces of kraft paper and said, "You two go back first. I won't be going to the gathering. When you return from the gathering, I will teach you the Chaos Giant God's divine ability, the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger. However, you two will have to continue helping me extract records about the origin of martial arts and the origin of chaos."
"Did the Clan Elder not allow you to go?" Jiang Jingyun asked unhappily.
Ye Qinghan smiled and nodded. "I'm an outsider. It's not very good for me to enter your gathering."
Finally, the two of them left.
Ye Qinghan flipped through the summary and carefully read every word until dawn. Only then did he thoroughly study the dozen or so pages of text. However, there was almost no useful information. There was one sentence that he could not figure out.
"The origin of all the laws of heaven and earth is' chaos. 'When one's spiritual force fuses with chaos, one will become one with the heavens. The Heavenly Dao is boundless, one will have infinite strength, and one will be invincible. Only then will one be supreme."
Ye Qinghan stared at this sentence for a long time. He did not understand how a person's spiritual force could fuse with chaos. Chaos was an empty term that represented the chaotic universe and everything. Regardless of whether it was a person or a god, if one could fuse with the chaotic universe, wouldn't they become the Heavenly Dao? Wouldn't they be able to shatter all shackles with a wave of their hand? Wouldn't their will be the will of the Heavenly Dao? Wherever they looked, they would become their subjects?
Ye Qinghan closed his eyes and sensed the chaos. His spiritual force was so weak that it was almost negligible. He could not sense any laws or Great Dao at all. After trying for a long time, he had no choice but to give up.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. The world outside was still gray, but it was much brighter than at night.
The people outside had already begun to gather. The Clan Elder personally led the team, leaving only Jiang Wu and the city guards. There were at least four people with the combat strength of a Chaos Giant God. In addition, there were more than a hundred youths in the prime of their lives. This was enough to protect Martial God City.
Many children shouted excitedly. They had been selected to represent Martial God City and compete with the children of the other two factions. This was an honor. If they won, they would return as heroes and receive 1,000 contribution points.
Jiang Jingyun and Jiang Jingtian were among them.
The Clan Elder glanced at Ye Qinghan's room from the corner of his eye. He was wearing a mask and animal skin clothes. He quietly walked into the crowd, causing a huge commotion.
"Oh my god! It's Brother Jingtian! "
"Jingtian is back! The Ancestor God has appeared. Jingtian is back! "
Jiang Jingheng and the others shouted excitedly. They did not recognize Ye Qinghan at all.
