Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

Chapter 129 - 129: Star Pickup Hand, Ye Jinhai Breaks Through (2/3) _1

At this moment, Jiao Long had already absorbed a drop of Ye Fan\'s blood, completely taking on Ye Fan\'s appearance.

With a mere thought from Ye Fan, he could obliterate Jiao Long\'s soul.

Seeing the anger of his subordinates, after seeking Ye Fan\'s permission, Jiao Long rushed towards the Aquatic Clan.

Smack!

A slap landed on the head of the Crab Demon.

"Are you guys idiots, rejecting such a good deal!"

"I am now part of the Ye family. If you refuse to surrender, do not blame me for being ruthless."

The Jiao Long turned into a perfect flunky, pressuring his own clansmen.

Seeing Jiao Long\'s transformation, the Aquatic Clansmen were at a loss for words.

The Clan Leader had become a traitor.

This was something the Aquatic Clansmen could not accept.

Seeing that his clansmen were still hesitant, Jiao Long grew anxious.

There were only so many clansmen in the Ye family. If they are late, they wouldn\'t even have the chance to become pets.

Not all cultivators have multiple beasts under their control.

Jiao Long had realized the uniqueness of the Ye family\'s bloodline. To become a pet of the Ye family was of great benefit for the Aquatic Clan with the Jiao Long bloodline.

In the future, they would even have a chance to metamorphose into True Dragons.

"Do you think I would harm you all?" Jiao Long shouted angrily.

Yes, their own Clan Leader would definitely not harm them.

The Clan Leader was certainly enduring humiliation to preserve the Jiao Long Clan\'s bloodline.

We cannot fail our Clan Leader.

After self-justification, the Aquatic Clansmen decided to surrender peacefully.

The cultivators in the Ye family all chose their own mounts.

The remaining ones were managed collectively, waiting to be chosen by anyone who needed them in the future.

Seeing the Jiao Long clan surrender just like that, with Jiao Long himself helping out, several cultivators from various sects were bewildered.

Did their previous investigation go wrong?

Was Jiao Long not an enemy of the Ye family at all?

By doing this, weren\'t they nurturing an enemy for Ye Fan instead of helping him?

"No, we must go back and inform the Sect Master about Jiao Long\'s treachery."

Several avatar cultivators tried to leave angrily, but a dragon claw descended from the sky, and a few lumps of meat paste appeared on the ground.

Traitors?

I am now part of the Ye family. How could this be considered as treason?

Jiao Long even brought along a few clumps of meat paste back to brag about his achievements to Ye Fan, hoping to obtain another drop of blood.

The conspiracy against the Ye family was perfectly resolved.

When Ye Fan returned to his family, the first thing he did was to create a fifth-order magical weapon carriage.

Then he fitted it onto Jiao Long\'s body.

Seeing the carriage on his body, Jiao Long was devastated.

Could it be that I can\'t even be a beast, but merely serve as a carriage-pulling mount?

Such humiliation was intolerable for Jiao Long.

Unless!

Unless you give me three drops, no, five drops of true blood of your bloodline.

The Jiao Long clan, unable to negotiate terms with Ye Fan, could only serve as a ride.

Compared to flying, traveling in a Jiao Long-pulled carriage provided a unique pleasure.

We have to admit, we must thank the Confucian Sect for sending such a good mount.

The Jiao Long had failed, and the major sects had finally calmed down.

Or at least, that was the case on the surface.

...

"Friend Ye, Little Friend Ye isn\'t here today?"

Seeing Ye Fan, Monk Dong Huan was delighted.

But after looking around and not seeing Ye Xiaoxiao, his face fell immediately. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Over the years, Dong Huan had developed a close relationship with Ye Xiaoxiao.

Especially with Ye Jinlong and Ye Jinfeng, they treated Monk Dong Huan as their half-teacher, and their affection for him was deep.

Monk Dong Huan knew how to win the game. To Ye Xiaoxiao, besides Ye Fan and the Ye Family, her two children were the most important.

Now that Dong Huan had won over her two children, winning over Ye Xiaoxiao was not far off.

Ye Fan glanced at Dong Huan, then silently took out several tea leaves and prepared them in the spirit water.

With a twitch of Dong Huan\'s nose, he smelled an intoxicating aroma.

The aroma was the most enticing smell of tea that Monk Dong Huan had ever smelled in his life.

"Brother Ye, quick, give me a cup."

Monk Dong Huan eagerly took Ye Fan\'s teapot and poured a cup for each of them. He then held his cup under his nose, inhaling the scent for quite some time before reluctantly taking a sip.

As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he felt a wonderful sensation directly rushing to his soul.

A bit of understanding appeared, and Monk Dong Huan couldn\'t help but close his eyes.

This time Ye Fan treated Dong Huan with the original version of Enlightenment Tea.

After a while, Dong Huan opened his eyes.

"Brother Ye, thank you."

Rarely, Dong Huan didn\'t ask Ye Fan for more tea anymore.

Because he had also sensed the value of Ye Fan\'s Enlightenment Tea. In front of Enlightenment Tea, all sixth-order tea leaves were nothing.

Even if Dong Huan was thick-skinned enough, he was embarrassed to ask for more.

"If I\'m offering it, just drink it. Stop being so polite."

A t Ye Fan\'s level, there were few people he could call friends.

And Dong Huan happened to get along well with Ye Fan, so Ye Fan would naturally not be stingy.

The sixth-order Enlightenment Tea was produced at 500 leaves per year.

It wasn\'t easy to drink it all. Impossible even.

Of course, Ye Fan didn\'t sell it. He just saved it for his family members to use in the future.

Monk Dong Huan noticed Ye Fan\'s sincerity and stopped being awkward.

A pot of Enlightenment Tea wasn\'t much and was quickly finished.

Dong Huan then took out a bunch of spiritual wine and continued drinking.

Ye Fan and Dong Huan didn\'t use their cultivation to suppress the alcohol, and they actually got drunk.

"Brother Ye, I recognise you as my brother-in-law now."

"I have nothing good to give, so here\'s a Heart Power Technique, a token of our first meeting."

With that, Dong Huan solemnly took out a book from his storage ring.

It must be some kind of cultivation technique, but instead of being stored in a jade slip, it was preserved in a book made from the hide of a magical beast.

The storage space of the Jade Slip is large, primarily containing cultivation techniques that span large volumes; the sheer size of these techniques would be rendered impractical if recorded in books.

However, the knowledge worthy of being preserved in books using traditional methods are by no means simple.

Take for instance the Heart Power Technique before Ye Fan\'s eyes.

The Heart Power Technique does not contain many characters - just a few thousand at most.

But in each character, Ye Fan sensed the essence of Dao.

Cultivating Dao is about controlling one\'s mana with the state of mind.

If the heart is insincere, then the heart demon will gradually grow.

Therefore, heart-refining is crucial for a cultivator.

This book is a heart-refining method, named the World Record.

By understanding the mortal world, one can cultivate Heart Power, eventually breaking through the Refining Void Period.

The practice of the Ye family cultivators always involves treading each step themselves without the support of any sect.

This has led to certain shortcomings.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan broke through stages with the assistance of the system, thus naturally having certain deficiencies as well.

It was only now that Ye Fan learned.

Without controlling Heart Power while breaking through the Refining Void Period, one\'s state of mind would eventually lose its ability to control their cultivation level as it elevated.

If the state of mind isn\'t controlling cultivation level, the consequence would be stepping into the devil\'s path.

When heart demons infest, cultivation would greatly regress.

One might even directly transform into a demon, no longer staying human.

The importance of this cultivation technique to the Ye Family is self-evident.

"Dong Huan, thank you."

Ye Fan silently took out twenty pieces of Enlightenment Tea, placed them before Dong Huan.

This was to be the payment.

Seeing the Enlightenment Tea, Dong Huan sobered up from his drunkenness.

"Brother, from now on, you are my real brother."

For a tea enthusiast, the allure of good tea is irresistible.

Shortly after, Ye Fan called for the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of the Ye family, and handed them the World Record.

The World Record comprises three levels, corresponding to the three stages of Heart Power.

As long as the first stage is reached, the cultivator\'s state of mind can easily meet the requirements needed to break through the Refining Void Period.

The World Record contains several methods to cultivate Heart Power, the simplest of which is the Worldly Heart Refining.

The temptation of breaking through is highly enticing to every cultivator.

One by one, everyone began cultivating the World Record to break through their state of mind.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan also quietly started cultivating the World Record.

For Ye Fan, cultivating the World Record was not difficult.

Ye Fan possessed a commendable state of mind and quickly mastered the first level.

However, he faced difficulties when attempting to break through to the second level.

Being relatively young and lacking life experiences, Ye Fan was not as mentally equipped as those old monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years.

This required time for gradual refining.

Still more than sixty years left till the agreed hundred-year period, the threats posed by the several big sects remained to be dealt with!

He hoped that by that time, he would have enough power.

At the least, the Ye family needed to have a few more cultivators who have passed the Refining Void Period.

Strong power would bring a sense of security.

More than a decade later, with just fifty years left till the hundred-year deadline.

In an ordinary village, Ye Jinhai, as he looked at a crying child and the excitement of its family, suddenly realized the true meaning of life.

The Dao of Wood signifies life.

The next moment, Ye Jinhai took a step forward, and an overwhelming momentum burst forth.

Breaking through, he reached the Refining Void Period.

Looking at Ye Jinhai who ascended into the sky, the villagers fell to their knees, "Immortal, we pay our respects to the Immortal."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the long-term task \'Eight Strong Ye Family Members: Refining Void\' (completed) please receive reward."

Ensconced within the Cave House, Ye Fan suddenly heard a prompt in his mind from the System.

"Was it Ye Jintian, Ye Jinqiu, or Ye Jinhai who broke through?"

"System, claim the reward."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: One opportunity to customize a secret technique."

A custom-made Secret Technique, an exclusive Divine Skill for the host, the rating of the technique will be at Immortal Level.

The reward was a genuine Immortal Law Technique?

It was not a cultivation technique, otherwise that would have been even more perfect.

Ye Fan began pondering about the current most needed secret technique for him.

That\'s right, World Power.

Ye Fan needed a secret technique that can withstand the explosion of the World Power.

An idea suddenly emerged in Ye Fan\'s mind like a template, a line that reads: "Hand holding the sun and moon, plucking stars, in the world, there is no one like me."

Let\'s call it Star Pickup Hand then.

"Congratulations on your success in creating the Divine Skill Star Pickup Hand."

Star Pickup Hand: Immortal Level Secret Technique, divided into six layers.

Refine your palms with the Power of Five Elements, weaved with the Immortal patterns of Star Pickup Hand.

At Divinity Transformation Stage, first rotation can be practiced, which is comparable to a sixth-grade magical weapon.

At Refining Void Period, second rotation can be practiced, which is comparable to a seventh-grade magical weapon.

Once Ye Fan cultivates to the second rotation, the strength comparable to a seventh-tier magical weapon would enable perfect utilization of the World Power from the seventh-tier Chaos Pearl.

By then, even the Body Integration Realm would not be out of reach.

This secret technique is highly formidable.

Ye Fan had a plentiful storage of five elemental resources in his storage bag. He immediately took out a large quantity of materials and commenced practicing.

A decade later, he successfully cultivated the first rotation.

Two decades later, he successfully cultivated the second rotation.

The moment when Ye Fan casually shattered a giant deserted island, he knew he was now perfectly capable of leveraging the World Power of the Chaos Pearl.

Finally, Ye Fan gained adequate confidence.

Meanwhile, as Ye Fan was cultivating the Star Pickup Hand, outside the Ye family residence, Little Red Dragon was going through a Crossing Tribulation.

Once its cultivation level reached the Peak Nascent Soul Stage, Little Red Dragon finally started its growing phase.

For regular demons, transformation could occur once they reached the Core Formation Stage or Nascent Soul Stage.

However, it seemed that Little Red Dragon was quite unique, only facing the Tribulation of Transformation when it reached the Peak Nascent Soul Stage.

The Tribulation of Transformation is commonly deemed a catastrophe for most demons.

Some were so fearful of the Tribulation of Transformation that they chose not to transform."

However, for Little Red Dragon, coping with the transformation wasn\'t difficult.

Thread after thread of heavenly lightning struck Little Red Dragon\'s body, but not only was it unharmed, it even seem to enjoy the thunder bath blissfully.

Ye Jinsen was quite anxious on the other hand, yet he wanted to see what the Little Red Dragon would look like after transformation.

Not far from where they were, a person was watching the Red Dragon transforming, mumbling, "A Red Dragon with the bloodline of the ancient dragon is rare indeed. It can be recruited as a member of the Gate of Life and Death."
