Chapter 506: Ye Family
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The heavens would not destroy the Ye family?
Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with confusion. He could clearly sense the excitement in the old man’s words.
Most importantly, the other party even knew about the Samsara Graveyard.
Ye Chen hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Are you my grandfather?”
The old figure stroked his beard, his eyes filled with mystery.
I guess so? What kind of answer was that?
Ye Chen was even more confused.
The old figure had no intention of explaining. Instead, he asked, “How are Jiang Rong and Ye Tianzheng?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen let out a long sigh and told the old figure about what had transpired recently.
The old figure frowned more and more, and there was even a trace of anger on his face.
“The Blood Alliance really has guts! They even dared to kidnap and imprison members of the Ye family? They are courting death!”
“Little Chen, are you planning to go to the Kunlun Mountains next?”
No matter what, he had to go to the Kunlun Mountains. Even if his father had not been taken away by the Blood Alliance, he still had to go there.
He had to take back some of the things he lost back then.
“Good! Little Chen, since you’re going to the Kunlun Mountains, there are some things I should tell you.”
Suddenly, the old figure sensed something and looked straight at Chen Tianli!
When he saw Chen Tianli, his body trembled and he muttered, “The legend is actually true!”
Then, he looked at Ye Chen and said excitedly, “That white-robed man is from the Samsara Graveyard, right? Hurry up! Quickly tell me!”
The old figure clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Little Chen, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart. However, you managed to activate the Samsara Graveyard, which proves that the Ye family’s ancestors were right. This stone is actually the Ye family’s heirloom.”
“However, even after so many years, no one in the Ye family was qualified to activate it. Do you know why?”
Ye Chen shook his head. How could he possibly know about something that was so far before his time?
The old figure waved his hand, and the shattered stone tablet reformed itself. However, this time, a mural appeared on the stone tablet!
The mural was lifelike, and looked rather similar to the mural he had seen in the underground ancient city underneath the Li family’s villa.
“Little Chen, what can you see from the mural on this stone tablet?” the old figure asked indifferently.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. The contents of the mural were simple.
It depicted the scene of two meteorites hitting the ground. However, the moment they landed, they turned into a huge rock and stone tablet with ancient patterns!
The rock’s color and material were almost identical to Ye Chen’s black stone. However, when Ye Chen saw the contents of the patterns on the stone tablet, his expression changed completely.
This was because in the picture, there was a young man carrying a divine sword on his back and riding amidst nine dragons in the sky.
The young man was accompanied by a seven-colored stone, which looked eerily similar to the black stone he possessed.
This young man was actually him!
“You should have seen something. When the black stone fell, all of the cultivators within a thousand miles self-detonated and died,” the old figure continued, “For sometime, the sun and moon were reversed, and it felt just like the end of the world.”
“What’s even stranger is that the stone landed at the entrance of the Ye family’s territory. Fortunately, the Ye family had not stepped onto the path of cultivation at that time.”
“Other than the pattern on the stone tablet, there’s also a few lines of words engraved on it. Time, place, and your name. Ye Chen, this might sound a little unbelievable. The Ye family’s ancestors sometimes thought it was nonsense, but everything on the stone tablet has been verified in the end.”
“The Ye family’s ancestor relied on the extraterrestrial items to cultivate extremely quickly. His bloodline was awakened, and the Ye family quickly rose to become the number one family in the Kunlun Mountains. However, when things reached a certain level, things took a turn for the worse. Such powerful items naturally attracted the greed and envy of countless experts. There were even some family members who betrayed the Ye family for benefits!”
“In the end, the Ye family fell apart!”
At this point, the old man’s eyes had a hint of helplessness.
“The Ye family’s experts fought with all their might, but in the end, they still fell.”
“The Ye Clan’s ancestor was mercilessly killed, and the extraterrestrial items were jointly seized by many sects and families in the Kunlun Mountains!”
“The stone was divided, the stele was taken away, and even the Ye family existed in name only. Now, only a branch of the Ye family is left struggling there!”
“However, they would never have thought that the most important thing was the black stone in the middle! The very stone that is in your hand.”
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He did not expect that such a thing had happened back then. It turned out that the Ye family was not a minor family.
The incident at the Kunlun Mountains was perhaps one of the reasons why the Ye Family had taken root in River City instead.
“Little Chen, things are not as simple as you think. Even if only a branch of the Ye family is left, we can’t underestimate them now.”
“Decades of years ago, the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains was filled with experts, but no one else held onto their faith other than me! The legend of that ancient era is no longer believed to be true. They regard the things that fell outside the Ye family as evil things that caused a disaster for the family.”
“In fact, even the name ‘Ye Chen’ has become a taboo in the Ye family. There is a rule that no disciple or descendant of the Ye Clan can have the name ‘Chen’ after that incident!”
“They believe that the Ye family’s decline from prosperity was all because of this name.”
“In a fit of anger, I took the newborn Ye Tianzheng, your father, and left the Ye family to come to Huaxia.”
“We established the family in River City as a starting point to set up the plan in hopes of the legend being true. According to the timeline, your generation is the fated one, which is why I named you Ye Chen. According to the requirements on the stone tablet, I gave you that stone as a birthday present. If you were really the chosen one, this stone would activate at the right time.”
“I don’t know what’s inside this stone. I’ve studied the runes for my entire life, and I finally learned from the back of the stone tablet that this stone can activate the Samsara Graveyard, and that there are mighty experts guarding it!”
“Whoever obtains the Samsara Graveyard obtains the world!”
Ye Chen’s heart was in turmoil. He had never thought that he would be the most important chess piece in this ancient chess game.
Why did the Samsara Graveyard choose the Ye Family? And why did it choose him of all people?
Just as he was about to ask something, the old figure said seriously, “Little Chen, you don’t have to say anything. I don’t have much time left. There are some things that I can’t explain to you for the time being. Since you’re here, it proves that the legends are correct!”
“However, there was another thing written on the stone tablet. The power of the Samsara Graveyard and the Kunlun Mountains…”
Before he could finish, the entire square shook violently. With the altar as the center, it split open in all directions!
“Not good! Leaking the heavenly secrets was bound to cause a backlash. The Heavenly Dao also forbade that secret from being revealed!”
The old figure pushed Ye Chen’s body, and he was sent flying by a mysterious force!
