Chapter 975: Chapter 979: Ye Family, Ye Wuya

“Indeed, this kind of problem could be solved within minutes by some Great Powers, but currently, Huaxia doesn’t have such resources.”

Ye Xuan agreed with Lin Xiaotian’s perspective.

Being able to successfully cultivate in Huaxia was already quite commendable.

Overcoming various obstacles to achieve greatness was truly no easy feat.

“Boss Ye, even you don’t have any information on this matter?”

Xia Liu felt a bit frustrated. If even Ye Xuan didn’t have a solution, he would have to rely on himself to search through piles of materials.

“I really don’t have anything on this.”

Ye Xuan sighed helplessly, shaking her head. She felt sad for Xia Liu’s predicament but could only offer a bitter smile.

“Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to Immeasurable Island.”

“You mean the Library Pavilion on Immeasurable Island?”

Lin Xiaotian immediately understood.

Indeed, the Library Pavilion of the Immeasurable Sect contained countless books and historical records.

The Immeasurable Sword Art had been discovered by Xia Liu within the Library Pavilion.

It wasn’t impossible that the Immeasurable Sect held records related to the Cultivator Era.

Xia Liu nodded. For now, this was the only feasible solution.

“Xia Liu, don’t rush just yet. I don’t know, but it’s possible that someone might know.”

Hmm?

When Ye Xuan finished speaking, the room instantly fell into a serious silence.

A glint of hope flashed across Xia Liu’s eyes–indeed, Ye Xuan might have a clue.

“Boss Ye, please give me a hint.”

“This person could be considered one of my elders. He’s an ancestor of the Yanjing Ye Family, and he’s lived for three hundred years.”

“Three hundred years!”

To have survived since the Qing Dynasty until now–it’s terrifying!

He must be one of the oldest figures in Huaxia.

The things he had experienced would surely be innumerable.

“Is he at the Ye Family in Yanjing?”

“Yes, he resides in the Bamboo Sea behind the Ye Family’s mountain. He rarely shows himself. I only discovered his existence when I accidentally wandered into the forest during my teenage years.”

Ye Xuan nodded, her mind stirring with memories. That elder had seemed like a dying flame, but according to the Ye Family elders, he’d been in that state for over a hundred years.

“Could I meet him?”

Xia Liu’s main concern was this critical question.

Right now, he was the one seeking help. If the elder refused to meet him, he would simply have to show his utmost sincerity.

“That’ll depend on his mood and, ultimately, your own destiny.”

“What does he like, or dislike?”

“I didn’t ask about that, but he’s quiet and reserved–probably from spending so much time in solitude…”

Ye Xuan could only recall this much. Since she didn’t have frequent contact with the elder, she hesitated to speculate further.

“Solitude, huh…”

Xia Liu nodded thoughtfully. If that were the case, he indeed needed to try his luck.

“Oh, and I should tell you this: his cultivation level is very likely to be beyond the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation.”

“What! The tenth layer of Qi Cultivation!”

“The tenth layer of Qi Cultivation! That’s absurdly terrifying!”

Lin Xiaotian and Ouyang Lingtian were utterly stunned.

They were currently only at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, and Ouyang Lingtian hadn’t even reached the fifth–he was still at the fourth.

Both of them were feeling the bottleneck, as breaking through seemed as difficult as reaching the heavens.

But the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation–what kind of realm was that? Absolutely frightening!

“If you can’t reach the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation within three hundred years, you might as well go straight into the ground…”

Ye Xuan and Bai Lili both rolled their eyes at the two.

Achieving the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation within three hundred years wasn’t particularly impressive.

After all, they had Xia Liu right here.

Xia Liu had likely broken through to the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation ages ago, perhaps even gone beyond.

If his foundation could stabilize, he might already have become a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Breaking through from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment was the true entry into the world of cultivation.

“If it’s the tenth layer, I should be able to handle it a bit…”

Xia Liu felt somewhat confident. As long as the opponent stayed within the Qi Cultivation Stage, he could manage.

If it were the Foundation Establishment Stage, then Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators would surely face instant defeat.

Of course, the situation now wasn’t as dire. He was seeking help, not engaging in Jianghu World skirmishes, so there was no need to be overly tense.

“By the way, what’s this elder’s name?”

“He’s called Ye Wuya.”

“Got it. When are you all planning to return? Take me with you when you go.”

“Xia Liu, with that desperate look of yours, we’ll leave whenever my wife’s ready for the journey.”

Ouyang Lingtian smirked wickedly. Waking people up in the middle of the night–it was clear how pressing this matter was.

“Ahaha, then I’ll go along with your plan.”

Xia Liu smiled awkwardly, fully understanding Ouyang Lingtian’s underlying sentiments.

At the same time, he deeply appreciated them.

In his moments of difficulty, they were willing to brainstorm solutions for him.

Just for that alone–this friendship was cemented!

Before dawn broke, Ouyang Lingtian and Lin Xiaotian took advantage of this rare opportunity.

Inside the hall, they kept asking about the difficulties they faced in cultivation.

Xia Liu and Ye Xuan were both present.

As two experienced trailblazers, their wisdom was invaluable.

This discussion lasted until past 8 a.m. the next morning.

Using his Divine Sense, Xia Liu noticed Guo Man getting out of bed.

He then excused himself from the group to prepare.

Guo Man had only managed to sleep in the latter half of the night and was wide awake now due to lingering thoughts from yesterday’s events, her dark circles quite pronounced.

While fixing her makeup in the bathroom, she suddenly felt someone behind her.

When she glanced at the mirror, she noticed a pair of hands wrapped around her waist.

“You’re done now?”

“Yeah, I’m done. After you freshen up, pack a few days’ worth of luggage–I’m taking you to a place.”

Xia Liu lowered his head slightly, his gentle voice whispering beside Guo Man’s ear.

“Oh, oh–don’t get so close! I’ll go, I’ll go.”

Guo Man was flustered, blushing from her cheeks to her neck early in the morning.

This audacious Xia Liu was getting bolder; she hadn’t even had time to react.

“Haha, alright–you take your time. I’ll go inform them.”

“Mm, ten minutes and I’ll be ready.”

Having some idea of where Xia Liu planned to take her, Guo Man didn’t delay–this involved matters concerning her future path.

“Xia Liu, how’s Little Man’s situation?”

“Yeah, what exactly is the problem?”

“I heard from Xiaoxue that Little Man is able to sense nature’s spiritual energy…”

…

When Xia Liu appeared in the living room, Fang Fei and the other girls eagerly asked for updates.

They had heard from Zhang Xiaoxue last night that Guo Man couldn’t cultivate, and her mood seemed downcast.

Xia Liu then spent the night researching the issue, leaving everyone wondering about the outcome.

“Don’t worry, everyone. Little Man is capable of sensing nature’s spiritual energy, but there’s an issue with her meridians. I’ve already found a lead, and we’ll be heading out in a bit–could take a few days.”

“Oh, that’s fine–what matters is whether Sister Little Man can cultivate!”

“Exactly! Even if it takes two or three months, it’s no problem, as long as Little Man can begin her cultivation journey.”

…

Hearing the girls’ heartfelt concern for her as she exited the bedroom, Guo Man felt a sense of warmth rising within her.

Originally, she had thought she wouldn’t fit in–finding it hard to integrate into their circle. But in the end, she realized she had been wrong…
