487: Li family

Su Hao was also in the back mountain of the Su Family, so Ye Lan returned very quickly.

Over these past few years, Ye Lan had changed quite a bit; she no longer possessed that initial timidity, having gained a touch of liveliness and cuteness.

"Master, I have already spoken."

Su Chen nodded. He turned his head to look at the graceful Ye Lan beside him and said with a smile, "Do you wish to improve your Bloodline Power?"

Ye Lan nodded immediately. "Of course I do. The strongest among our clansmen only reach five tails. Unfortunately, the Bloodline of the nine-tailed Divine Beast is too overbearing, and a great many Heaven And Earth Treasure are required to improve it."

"After reaching six tails, one even requires the essence blood of other Divine Beast."

Su Chen raised his hand and waved it, and a Spatial Ring appeared in his palm.

"Your cultivation is too poor; it took you several years to only reach the Middle Stage of Earth Immortal. From now on, focus on improving your cultivation first."

Hm?

Ye Lan took the Spatial Ring with some skepticism. Seeing Su Chen's very calm expression, she knew without looking that there certainly couldn't be anything good inside.

Although Su Chen had treated her quite well over the years, he had never given her anything of value. Since he could give it to her so casually now, it surely wouldn't be anything extraordinary.

The key was that she had learned quite a bit about the Su Family over the years. Never mind that Su Chen was just a young master of the Su Family; even the entire Su Family might not possess treasures capable of improving her Bloodline.

But when she saw the treasures contained within clearly, she was stunned on the spot.

Immortal crystals and Heaven And Earth Treasure were countless.

Even back when she was in the Hengduan Mountains, she had never seen such a vast quantity of treasures. If she could refine all of these, the help to her would be immense.

She might even have a chance to reach five tails or even six tails.

Being born in this world, everyone has a desire to become stronger, and Ye Lan was no exception. Looking at so many treasures, her breathing began to quicken.

However, for a moment, she began to feel conflicted again.

If she accepted these things, it meant she would certainly never be able to leave Su Chen in the future.

Although her time spent with Su Chen over these years had left her with a very good impression of him, Ye Lan still wanted to return to her clan.

The moment this thought appeared, Ye Lan was suddenly stunned. She discovered that she actually didn't have much of a desire to return to the Hengduan Mountains anymore.

In the past, whenever she thought of the Hengduan Mountains, she would feel extremely anxious to return.

But what about now?

Her heart was extremely calm.

Looking at Su Chen's back, she suddenly felt a bit lost.

"There is no need to feel pressured. I simply see that your cultivation is too low. As my maid, that is a bit too poor. If you wish to leave in the future, I still will not stop you."

Su Chen's voice rang out, and Ye Lan's previously hesitant mood suddenly eased. She hesitated for a moment, then bowed down to Su Chen in salutation.

"Ye Lan thanks Master."

Instinctively, Ye Lan was still more inclined to stay by Su Chen's side.

She looked at Su Chen's handsome profile, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Actually, Master is quite good; his personality is gentle, and his strength is unfathomable. If she could continue to serve him, it would also be a very good choice.

...

Jueyang City.

Outer City, Li Family.

This was a weak Family. The strongest person within the clan was only at the Earth Immortal Realm, and the total number of people in the entire Li Family was only a few hundred.

In the outer courtyard of the Li Family, inside a dilapidated hut, a tender young boy was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Finally... I have restored my Sword Physique!"

Tongtian slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was incredibly sharp. Although his cultivation was only at the Saint Realm, his sense of oppression was extremely powerful, already comparable to an Immortal Realm Cultivator.

"Unfortunately, this Physical Body is truly too weak and Innate deficient; it simply cannot support me in rapidly improving my cultivation."

Tongtian looked up at the sky, his eyes full of confusion.

"What on earth happened? Why did I come back to life?"

He did not know how long ago it was; in his memory, it felt like yesterday, yet it also seemed like it was in the extremely distant past.

The Immortal Realm had ushered in an Age of Dharma Decline, and everything had returned to its primitive state.

Originally, there were no major events, but he suddenly sensed fluctuations in the Power of Time, and the myriad daos shattered, although he did not know exactly what had happened.

Yet Tongtian understood that there must have been an upheaval upstream in the river of time.

Wherever that power passed, everything was annihilated; it was as if time were being rewritten, extremely bizarre, and it also left him feeling extremely powerless.

Facing that kind of invisible power, he did not even know how to resist.

Consequently, he used all his strength to slash out with a sword, intercepting that Power of Time for an instant, subsequently leaving behind a trace of Karma.

Tongtian's expression was incredibly grave. What on earth had happened?

According to his understanding, this world was now called the Myriad Worlds, completely different from the Immortal Realm of the past, and there was no such concept as a Lower Realm.

Tongtian had never heard of this name, "Myriad Worlds," before.

Could it be that this was countless years later?

Tongtian always felt that something was not quite right, but he could not put his finger on it.

"God Lord, are you still there?"

A look of worry flashed in Tongtian's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Tongtian cast aside the emotions in his heart and began to think about how to quickly improve his cultivation. He was a Sword Cultivator, and his primary means of combat were enhanced through Sword Intent.

And releasing Sword Intent required a sufficiently powerful Physique.

His current Physical Body was very poor, and the power he could release was truly limited.

However...

Tongtian raised his hand and waved it, and four small swords appeared by his side. Although they looked somewhat dim and lusterless, they contained terrifying might within.

These four Lifebound Treasure were actually still here.

Tongtian breathed a slight sigh of relief. His current strength was too weak, but with these four Lifebound Treasure, he could kill anyone below the Immortal Emperor, which could be considered a means of self-preservation.

But it was only "could kill"; Immortal Emperor were so cunning, how could it be so easy to hit them?

As for himself, although he had the four Immortal Execution Swords, his Physical Body was weak. If he really encountered an Immortal Emperor, perhaps a single thought of Divine Sense would be enough to make him perish.

His current background was also quite miserable. Less than a year after he was born, his parents went out and perished. He was originally of the Direct Line of the Li Family, but because he had no parents to protect him, he lived just like a servant of the Li Family.

Even worse than a Li Family servant.

Regardless, the most urgent priority was to first improve his own strength.

Now, the Power of the Great Dao in these Myriad Worlds was dense, no worse than the Immortal Realm of the past; as long as he found a good opportunity, he could directly Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm.

Perhaps the God Lord was still fighting enemies upstream in the river of time at this moment; if he improved his own strength, he could also go and help the God Lord.

The moment this thought appeared, Tongtian's expression changed slightly.

His previous cultivation had reached the Half-step Dao Lord Realm, which could be considered barely enough to catch a glimpse of time. Now, thinking about it carefully, Tongtian suddenly developed a terrifying thought.

Could it be that a world-ending crisis had once occurred upstream in the river of time?

Time, like Karma, was divided into the past, the present, and the future. The starting point of everything was the past, and the end point of everything was the future.

If a change occurred in the past, the present and the future would inevitably be the same.

Tongtian's expression was grave; the situation might be far more troublesome than he had imagined.

Suddenly.

The originally dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and a child of about ten years old walked in. He was dressed in bright and clean clothes, and at a glance, one could tell he was a member of the Direct Line within the Li Family.

Beside him were two tall guards, both at the Emperor Realm.

When the leader saw Tongtian sitting cross-legged on the ground, he could not help but angrily curse:

"What about the courtyard I told you to clean? Who let you come back?"
