Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Afterward, Ye Xuan transmitted a message to the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, I will be leaving Mist Island for a few days. Please take care of the family during this time. The people from the Guardian Hall will also be at your disposal." The Grand Elder replied after receiving the message, "Rest assured, Clan Leader, I will not fail in my mission."

Subsequently, Ye Xuan calmed his mind and arrived at the first level of the Chaos Dao Tower. At this moment, the tower was still empty, as the clansmen had all gone to the Scripture Pavilion or Treasure Pavilion. Ye Xuan temporarily closed the tower door and silently chanted the incantation to unseal. As his voice fell, thirty-six figures appeared before Ye Xuan. They wore the same attire and had the same appearance. After the thirty-six individuals sensed the rune between Ye Xuan's eyebrows, they knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Master!" Ye Xuan told them to rise and said, "From now on, you may call me Clan Leader. You will all be members of the Ye Family's Guardian Hall."

Afterward, Ye Xuan explained the current situation of the family to them, as well as their serial numbers. The order of the sequence was determined by strength. Then, he summoned the previous eighteen individuals and reordered them. The lowest cultivation level among the thirty-six newly unsealed individuals was the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and five of them had reached the Dharma Aspect Completion stage. Their Sword Dao realm had even reached the Sword Intent Completion stage, capable of easily killing early-stage Life and Death Realm cultivators.

Ye Xuan's current Sword Dao realm was only at the Lesser Accomplishment of Sword Intent. This was because he urgently needed to upgrade the family and had spent his time improving his cultivation, leaving little time to comprehend the Sword Dao. Yet, he still reached the Lesser Accomplishment of Sword Intent.

This shows how heaven-defying the Chaos Sword Body is.

After arranging the affairs of the Guardian Hall, Ye Xuan transmitted a message to the Grand Elder, informing him that the number of people in the Guardian Hall had increased. Then, he took the newly ranked One-Zero-One and One-Zero-Two, one male and one female, and soared into the sky, heading first to Green Stone City to see the elders of the Ye family who remained there. His purpose this time was to go to the imperial capital of the Great Qin Dynasty to purchase cultivation resources for himself and his clansmen, and to learn about the outside world.

Ye Xuan and his companions arrived at the Ye family's entrance and saw cultivators around the Ye family. Moreover, the pedestrians on the road seemed to be intentionally avoiding the Ye family. His heart skipped a beat, and he released his divine sense to envelop the Ye family. Discovering that there were no abnormalities inside and that the clansmen were safe and sound, he slowly relaxed and strode into the gate. A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in the corner saw this scene and immediately turned and left.

Ye Xuan arrived in front of a house and saw a hunched old man and an old woman cleaning the flowers and trees in the courtyard. He softly called out, "Uncle Fifteen."

The old man's hunched body slowly turned around, and he looked at Ye Xuan with cloudy eyes. After three breaths, he tentatively opened his mouth and asked, "Is that the Clan Leader?" The old woman next to him also turned around and hurriedly said, "Oh dear, you old fool, it's the Clan Leader. How can you not even recognize the Clan Leader?" As she spoke, she smiled at Ye Xuan and said, "Clan Leader, don't be offended. The old man's eyes aren't working well. He can't see anyone clearly."

"It's fine, Aunt Fifteen. I came back this time to see everyone. I'm relieved to see that you're all well." At this time, Uncle Fifteen also squeezed over and said, "We old fogeys are all doing well. It's really troubling the Clan Leader to worry about us. It shouldn't be like this. In the past two years, the City Lord has helped us a lot. Look, the roof of that house was repaired with the help of people from the City Lord's Mansion. After you left, the City Lord even announced to the entire city that no one could enter the Ye family without the Ye family's permission. We've been living a very peaceful life."

After hearing this, Ye Xuan was a little puzzled. His friendship with Mu Bai shouldn't be this deep. What was his intention in doing this?

"Uncle Fifteen, then I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go see the other clansmen." After saying that, Ye Xuan turned and left. The old couple continued to stare at the backs of Ye Xuan and his companions as they walked away, just like elders watching their juniors embark on their first long journey after adulthood, with unknown hardships waiting ahead.

Ye Xuan didn't go to find the other elders one by one, but simply watched from afar, and thought of his grandparents from his previous life. They had looked at him with the same gaze when he was about to start university.

Looking at their peaceful lives now, Ye Xuan sighed in his heart, "How wonderful it would be if there were no disputes in the world!" At this moment, he was too weak, and thinking about these things was useless. Now, he and the entire Ye family needed enough time to grow. As long as they could stand at the top of the world, his ideas could always be realized.

A moment later, he calmed his mind and walked out of the Ye family's gate, just in time to bump into a group of people coming towards him. Before Ye Xuan could raise his hands and speak, the other party smiled and said, "Clan Leader Ye, long time no see."

This person was none other than Mu Bai, the City Lord of Green Stone City, accompanied by two guards. Ye Xuan also raised his hands in return and said, "City Lord Mu, long time no see!"

"Clan Leader Ye is like a dragon, rarely seen. Your cultivation is becoming more and more unfathomable. Now that I have the good fortune to meet Clan Leader Ye, may I invite you to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat?" Mu Bai said.

Ye Xuan thought of Mu Bai's care for his clansmen and also thought of his upcoming trip to the imperial capital. As the City Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, Mu Bai should have connections in the imperial capital. Therefore, Ye Xuan agreed to Mu Bai's invitation.

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the two sat facing each other, with the two members of the Guardian Hall standing behind Ye Xuan. Mu Bai glanced at the two of them and was shocked. He couldn't see through them at all. Although the two hadn't released their aura, they gave off a very dangerous feeling.

At this time, Ye Xuan said, "I must thank City Lord for taking care of the Ye family clansmen in the city. This can be considered a favor that Ye owes you."

"Clan Leader Ye, you're too kind. You can just call me Mu Bai. This is just a small effort. I wonder if Brother Ye has anything I can help with this time? Please don't hesitate to ask." Ye Xuan told Mu Bai about his plan to go to the imperial capital.

"Brother Mu, do you have any connections in the imperial capital? I haven't been to the imperial capital before and know very little about it," Ye Xuan asked.

Mu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I did make some acquaintances in the imperial capital in my early years. One of my best friends runs a restaurant in the imperial city. When I first met him, the restaurant was still his family's business. He only took over the restaurant after I came to Green Stone City. If Brother Ye goes to the imperial capital, you can go to him to learn about the imperial city. I'll send him a message now. Oh, right, his name is Lu Ming." As he spoke, he took out a communication jade slip and began to transmit a message.

Ye Xuan also took out a communication jade slip and said, "Brother Mu, I won't say much more. This is a special jade slip that can be used to communicate with me at any time. I hope Brother Mu will keep it safe. If you encounter any problems that you can't handle, please send me a message at any time. I will arrive as soon as possible after receiving the message. Even if I can't come, I will send someone over." Mu Bai was excited. This was the result he wanted. He was right to gamble.

After saying that, Ye Xuan got up to leave.

Three days later, Ye Xuan and his companions arrived in front of a magnificent city gate. The city wall above the city gate was a hundred zhang tall, guarded by imperial guards. Looking closely, each of them was at the Violet Palace Realm. After paying the spirit stones, they entered the city gate. The scenes before them, even for Ye Xuan, who had seen big cities in his previous life, couldn't help but evoke admiration. The hundred-zhang-wide main road could accommodate dozens of beast-drawn carriages. Cultivators below the Transformation God Realm were forbidden to fly in the imperial capital, so everyone traveled by beast-drawn carriages. Although there weren't many tall buildings in the city, the ancient-style building complexes gave people a different kind of beauty.

Looking up, there was a mountain peak in the center of the imperial capital that pierced into the clouds. Presumably, that was where the imperial palace was located, surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds, like a fairyland in a painting.
