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

Ye Xuan looked at the people below and, using sound transmission, summoned Ji Wushang and the other four to the main hall. After a few breaths, the five appeared in the hall.

The five cupped their hands and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Clan Leader."

Ye Xuan nodded and said to the people of the Sword Pavilion, "Canglan Palace is also our own force. These few are the people in charge of Canglan Palace. Their strength is weak, so the Sword Pavilion must secretly help them. However, on the surface, Canglan Palace and the Sword Pavilion must maintain a state of opposition in the Eastern Region. As for how to do it, you can discuss it yourselves."

The crowd cupped their hands and said, "Understood, Clan Leader."

Ye Xuan took out a spatial ring containing a thousand mid-level cultivation enhancement pills. He floated it in front of Jian Wugou and said, "Distribute these pills to the people of the Sword Pavilion, one pill per person. Be careful in selecting people; the condition is that they must be loyal. If there are any left over, keep them for future use."

Jian Wugou accepted the storage ring and cupped his hands towards Ye Xuan, saying, "Thank you, Clan Leader, for your trust in Wugou and the Sword Pavilion."

"Alright, you may all leave. If anything happens in the future, you can find the Great Elder." After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he disappeared from the main hall.

The crowd said, "Yes, Clan Leader!" and then they all left the main hall.

In the following month, there were dozens of battles, large and small, between Tianjian Mountain and Canglan Palace. The news spread throughout the entire Eastern Region, and ultimately, because neither side could overcome the other, they chose to compromise. Tianjian Mountain ceded eighteen states, including Qingyun State, to Canglan Palace.

And just today, a long-awaited system notification appeared in Ye Xuan's mind: "Congratulations, Host! It has been detected that a Sword Physique of Mundane origin (unawakened) has appeared in the Ye Family. Please seize the time to awaken it. Upon awakening the Sword Physique, you will receive the Supreme Sword Sutra."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly opened, and an imperceptible excitement appeared on his face. After all, this was a Sword Physique comparable to his own constitution. He thought, "It's finally here. System, where is he? Just born?"

"Ding! He is in Nine Heavens Mountain and has just turned six years old, which is why I was able to sense him. This is his location."

Ye Xuan couldn't sense it himself, so he asked for such detailed information. Ye Xuan disappeared from the Chaos Tower and arrived at the peak of Nine Heavens Mountain, looking down at a spiritual field below. A young Ye family couple was working in the field, and a young boy was playing by himself beside the field.

Ye Xuan didn't stop. With a flash, he arrived in front of the boy beside the field and stared at him. The boy had delicate features and was chasing after an insect, which happened to land not far from Ye Xuan's feet.

He looked up and saw Ye Xuan smiling at him. His big eyes blinked as he curiously looked at Ye Xuan and asked in a childish voice, "Mister, who are you?" He hurriedly added, "Hmm... I think I've seen you somewhere before."

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Really? What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaocheng. You are..."

At this moment, the parents in the distance noticed that their child was talking to a man and quickly came over to take a look. When they got closer, they realized that this person was actually the Clan Leader, a god-like existence in their eyes. Now he was standing in front of them, talking to their son.

The two were both excited and apprehensive as they bowed and said, "Erniu, Shuilian, greet Clan Leader." As they spoke, they quickly pulled their son over and said, "Come, Xiaocheng, quickly greet the Clan Leader."

Xiaocheng obediently said, "Xiaocheng greets Clan Leader."

Ye Xuan used his spiritual power to help the two who were bowing and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. You are Xiaocheng's parents, right?"

"Yes, Clan Leader. What's wrong with Xiaocheng? Is there a problem?" They thought that the Clan Leader had personally come to find their son, fearing that something bad had happened. In their memory, the Clan Leader rarely appeared before ordinary clansmen like them. At the very least, they had never seen him, only recognizing Ye Xuan's identity from the portrait in the house.

Ye Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he said, "No need to worry. I came here to find Xiaocheng for a good reason. You have given birth to a good son."

The couple still somewhat believed Ye Xuan's words. Could it be that their son had a very high talent for cultivation? It shouldn't be, as this was the first time they had heard of the Clan Leader personally coming to find a member of the family.

Erniu asked somewhat stammeringly, "Clan Leader, could it be that Xiaocheng has a very high talent for cultivation? Or some other talent?"

Ye Xuan laughed and said, "Indeed, he has a very high talent for cultivation, so high that you can't imagine. From now on, the two of you will enjoy the treatment of direct descendants and can freely enter and exit the family's residence."

The young couple petrified on the spot. They would actually receive such high treatment. The Ye family had never had such a thing before. Just as the couple were stunned, Ye Xuan silently recited in his mind, "Open the system shop." Ye Xuan spent two thousand points in the system shop to exchange for two pills that could increase lifespan by a thousand years.

At this moment, the couple finally reacted and asked, "Was what Clan Leader said just now true?" The two still couldn't believe it. Happiness had come too suddenly, making them unable to believe it themselves.

Ye Xuan deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "How could I speak falsely! These are two pills that increase lifespan. Ordinary people can increase their lifespan by a thousand years after using them. Also, everything the family promised will not be lacking."

Seeing this, the two dared not doubt any further, accepted the pills Ye Xuan handed over, and quickly said, "Thank you, Clan Leader!"

Xiaocheng on the side also understood a little and tugged at his mother's hand, saying, "Mother, can I cultivate too? Can I fly and escape like my older cousin?"

Before Shuilian could answer, Ye Xuan said with a smile, "Not only can you, but Xiaocheng will be even more powerful than them."

Erniu said, "Yes, yes, yes, Xiaocheng will be an immortal in the future."

Hearing Ye Xuan and his father's words, Xiaocheng shouted happily, "Oh... I will become an immortal in the future too."

Shuilian quickly grabbed her son and said, "Xiaocheng, be polite. Have you forgotten how your father and I taught you?"

Xiaocheng said, "Mother, of course I won't forget."

Ye Xuan also became interested and said, "Then let me ask you, what do you want to do after cultivating?"

Xiaocheng didn't answer immediately but thought for a moment and counted on his little fingers, saying, "Hmm... Protect my parents, protect the clansmen, and share the worries of the family."

The couple nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and Ye Xuan also nodded and continued to ask, "Who taught you all this?"

"My parents taught me, and my older cousin said the same thing. It's just that what my older cousin said was too complicated, and I didn't understand it!"

Ye Xuan patted Xiaocheng's head and said, "Very good. From now on, you will enter the Qi generation and be named Qicheng."

Ye Xuan then looked at the couple and said, "I will give you three days. After three days, I will come to take Qicheng away. In the coming years, or even longer, he will be in the Tower of Dao."

After hearing this, although the two felt somewhat lonely, they were still genuinely happy for their son from the bottom of their hearts. A fledgling eagle always has to grow up.

Erniu said, "Clan Leader, rest assured, we have no problem. We are also happy for our child."

Ye Xuan also nodded and said, "Very well, see you in three days!"

The two cupped their hands and said, "Farewell, Clan Leader." By the time they looked up, Ye Xuan had already disappeared.
