In the main hall of the Ye residence.
Ye Wentian dismissed all the outsiders, leaving only his granddaughter, Ye Yingluo, and son, Ye Yufeng. He then bowed to Ye Chen, "Thank you, senior, for helping the Ye family!"
"Old Mr. Ye, please rise!"
Ye Chen waved his sleeve and gestured for the three of them to stand up. He said while smiling, "I should be the one thanking you guys for this!"
Ye Yingluo was right. If not for the Ye family's help, Ye Wushuang would not have been able to wait for him to arrive.
After Ye Wentian stood up, he asked worriedly, "Senior, may I know how that little friend Ye is?"
"His injuries have recovered. He's currently in closed-door cultivation. He'll definitely come out in three to seven days!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly and said, "My surname is Ye, and my name is Chen. I have the same surname as Old Master Ye. You can just call me by my name."
As soon as he said that, the three of them were shocked. Ye Wentian looked at him in disbelief, "Senior, your surname is Ye too?"
He seemed to have thought of something after saying that. He suddenly clasped his fists at Ye Chen, "May I ask if senior is from the Ancient Desolate Realm?!"
As his voice fell, the entire hall suddenly became silent. Ye Yingluo and Ye Yufeng both had blank expressions on their faces.
Only Ye Wentian looked at Ye Chen calmly.
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said when he met his gaze, "That's right. I'm indeed from the Ancient Desolate Realm."
"Senior, do you know Ye Dongli?" Ye Wentian asked again.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed imperceptibly when he said that, "I do, but it was after he died …"
"What? The East Li Emperor is dead? "
Ye Wentian's body trembled violently when he heard that, as if he had been struck by lightning. Then, he fell heavily to the ground.
Ye Yingluo subconsciously wanted to help him up, "Grandpa …"
"Don't help me!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Wentian suddenly burst into tears and kowtowed heavily, "Ancestor Dong Li, you've finally died …"
"Ancestor?"
Ye Chen's eyes focused. He looked at him in surprise again, "You're Ye Dongli's descendant?"
Not only him, but even Ye Yingluo and Ye Yufeng were shocked, as if this was the first time they had heard of this matter.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Wentian's tears streamed down his face as he said, "That's right, this old man is indeed a descendant of the East Li Emperor Lord, and the Ye Clan of the Wildlands is also a descendant of the East Li Emperor Lord …"
"Father, what's going on?"
Ye Yufeng couldn't help but ask, "And who is the East Li Sovereign Lord?"
Ye Wentian looked up at the father and daughter and said slowly, "Yufeng, the Ye Clan didn't come from this world. We came from the Ancient Barren World and the ancestor of the Ye Clan is Ye Dongli!"
"Back then, the Dong Li Emperor conquered the Ancient Barren World alone and brought glory to the Ye family. But later, the Dong Li Ancestor suddenly asked us to move to this barren land …"
His aged face was filled with sorrow, "My Ye Clan has also followed the instructions of Ancestor Dong Li and lived in the Wildlands for nearly ten thousand years …"
At this point, he could not help but cry, "At that time, I had just passed the ceremony of adulthood. All these years, I had been thinking about returning to the Ancient Barren World to follow Ancestor Dong Li. Who would have thought that Ancestor Dong Li would …"
Ye Yingluo and her father felt their minds shake when they heard this. It was as if they could not accept this reality for a moment.
Ye Chen watched the scene quietly. There were ripples on his calm face.
If Ye Dongli was really the ancestor of the Ye family, wouldn't that mean that the three of them were related to him by blood?
Ye Wentian took a deep breath in and stared at Ye Chen, "May I ask senior, why did the ancestor die?"
Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "I once heard from the head of the Self-Learning Palace, Ke Yunzi, that Ye Dongli died at the hands of the Immortal Palace …"
"Ke Yunzi …"
Ye Wentian was stunned at first when he heard that. Then, he snorted coldly and said, "When I was young, I heard that this person had a close relationship with the ancestor. However, the two of them fell out for some reason. The ancestor's death is definitely related to him!
"As for this Immortal Palace, I've also heard that this existence surpasses the secular world. Even Ancestor Dong Li is extremely afraid of it …"
As he said that, he suddenly knelt before Ye Chen, "Senior, please help my family return to the Ancient Barren World!"
Ten thousand years ago, when the Ye family migrated, Ye Dongli had left a prophecy that someone with the surname Ye would lead the Ye family out of the Forbidden Sea and back to the Ancient Barren World 10,000 years later.
Initially, Ye Wentian suspected that it was Ye Wushuang. However, he no longer had any doubts after Ye Chen appeared.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't know how to leave this place at the moment …"
Although Ying said that he would be able to find a way to leave the Forbidden Sea if he found the ghost ship, the ghost ship was now related to the end of the darkness.
That was why he did not say anything.
Ye Wentian's expression changed a few times when he heard that. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Ye Chen, "I might have a way. Please follow me, senior!"
He walked out of the hall first after saying that.
Ye Chen followed immediately.
…
In the Ye family's ancestral temple, a huge statue stood in the middle of the solemn and huge square. The statue seemed to be a man who exuded a dignified aura without being angry. No one dared to look at him directly.
"Ye Dongli?"
Ye Chen looked at the statue and realized that the former was very similar to the Ye Dongli he had seen before, both in appearance and temperament.
"Senior!"
Ye Wentian pointed at the statue's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Before we left back then, the East Li Emperor gave this to our Ye family. He said that he wanted us to give it to the fated person!"
He could not help but glance at Ye Chen, "This secret has been guarded by our Ye family for 10,000 years. It seems like this fated person is senior."
"Eyeballs?"
Ye Chen squinted and leaped. He landed on the statue's shoulder directly and looked at the latter's eyes quietly.
In the statue's eyes, there was a pair of fluorescent stones that were glowing with treasure. The fluorescent stones were only the size of eggs, and there seemed to be a mysterious liquid flowing in them.
"Barrier Stone!"
At that moment, Ye Chen's expression changed.
To be precise, he was shocked!
It was because the pair of eyeballs in Ye Dongli's statue was one of the main materials for refining the Astrolabe — the Barrier Stone!
The so-called Fixed Star Plate was a rare object used to determine spatial coordinates. With this object, he could find spatial nodes and use them to travel through space.
The effect of this item was much stronger than the Teleportation Formation.
However, the materials needed to refine the Astrolabe were extremely rare, especially the Barrier Stone. It was rare even in the resource-rich cultivation world.
Therefore, Ye Chen had never thought of refining the Astrolabe.
He did not expect to encounter the Barrier Stone here. Moreover, he had obtained it from Ye Dongli's statue.
Thinking to this point, he could not help but have a huge change in his speculation about Ye Dongli's identity.
Ye Dongli, who exactly are you?!
Why do you even have something as rare as the Barrier Stone?!
Moreover, you prepared it in advance. You predicted that I would come and specially left it for the two of you to pass it to me!
