By the time Cang Ye returned to Xuan Mu Peak, the competition had already ended.
The first place of this competition was undoubtedly won by the little princess. His cultivation level was higher than the others, and with the guidance of Yue Xingyan and the others, taking first place did not seem like much.
Once the competition ended, Cang Ye was ready to go home. After five years, the memories that belonged to Cang Ye had made him impatient to see his parents.
He returned to the mountain range and told Li Tian Luo and the elders about Yue Xingyan's promise. After hearing this. They were also shocked by the sect's generosity. However, the more this was the case, the more advantageous it would be for Xuan Mu. Once Cang Ye rose to power, Xuan Mu Peak would be the first to benefit.
After giving instructions. When the little princess arrived, Cang Ye prepared to go home.
There were too many things to do on the mountain. Li Tian Luo, who had originally planned to go to the Yan Tian Empire to take a look, stayed on the mountain. As for his other close relative, his eldest senior brother Sun Hao, Cang Ye had also invited him. However, under his strange teasing gaze, Cang Ye was defeated and did not mention this matter again.
In Sun Hao's words," I can go down the mountain anytime I want. It's just that you and Little Ling 'er won't have many chances to go down the mountain together. Don't blame Senior Brother when the time comes."”
This was because Cang Ye belonged to one of the four great clans of the Yan Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, the clan's encampment was naturally in the Imperial City. Even Cang Yun, who was from the collateral family, lived around the capital.
The Imperial Cities of the Four Great Empires did not have teleportation arrays. Even in the surrounding cities, there was none. Therefore, if he wanted to return home, he had to teleport to the nearest city as soon as possible and take a carriage all the way back to the capital. In Cang Ye's memory, it took him nearly two hours to reach the nearest city with a teleportation array from his home. The horses in this world were very different from the horses on Earth. The horses in the Federation were all super horses that were crossbred through genetic technology. Only wealthy merchants and nobles would ride that thing.
However, even with the use of the highest technology, the horses in that world with thin spiritual energy were still very different from those in this world. The main difference was speed. The horses here were considered low-level spirit beasts, so their speed was far faster than the horses in the previous world. And riding such a carriage was not any slower than the floating trains in the previous world that traveled at a speed of 300 to 400 per hour. Even at this speed, it still took two hours. It was obvious how far the journey was.
The next day, when the little princess packed up everything, it was almost noon when they arrived at Qingxia City. Both of them were still mortals, so eating was a must. However, whether it was him or Yu Ling, they did not seem to have money on them…
This was also Cang Ye's negligence. In the two years he had spent at the foot of the mountain, he and Li Tian Luo had gotten used to sleeping in the wilderness every day. Therefore, he had never considered money at all. As for Feather Spirit, it was even simpler. If she followed Brother Ye, what else did she need to bring?
Hearing the rumbling of his stomach, Cang Ye smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, Brother Ye. After we're transported to our Yan Tian Empire, everything will be fine. In any case, taking the teleportation array felt like it would only take a blink of an eye.”
The more Feather Spirit said this, the more uncomfortable Cang Ye felt. The teleportation array was indeed only for an instant. However, that was only an instant. It would take at least an hour to teleport from here to the Yan Tian Empire!
During the process of teleportation, the feeling disappeared. However, once he left the teleportation array, he would definitely not feel good.
There was once a person who had miscalculated the distance of the teleportation. By the time he reached his destination, he had already starved to death.
Of course, the distance that person had teleported was probably half the distance of the continent. Otherwise, such an outrageous situation would not have occurred. However, this also meant that before the teleportation. He had to eat until he was full…
When he arrived at the teleportation array, Cang Ye recalled the first time he went down the mountain with his master two years ago. At that time, he had also arrived here at noon. He remembered that at that time, he had a conflict with a disciple. It was also at that time that he first revealed his peerless talent to people other than his master and eldest senior brother.
Thinking of this, Cang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. He touched the guardian token that his master had given him. There it was!
"Ling 'Er, don't starve. Brother Ye will treat you to a good meal!"
She looked at Cang Ye in confusion. Did Brother Ye suddenly become rich? However, she, who had long believed that Cang Ye was omnipotent, did not think too much about it. She followed Cang Ye into a very good restaurant around the teleportation array.
"Hey, young master, young miss, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?”As soon as they entered, the waiter who had been waiting there to receive them welcomed them first.
One had to know that the people in this Green Cloud City were either related to the Green Cloud Sect or had dealings with the Green Cloud Sect. He was here to broaden his horizons. However, none of them were people that they could afford to offend. Not to mention that the first two were usually big shots, even those who came to take a look were also from powerful families. Who had ever seen poor people who had no money use a teleportation array to come here! Of course, martial artists were an exception. However, those martial artists were even more not to be provoked.
Seeing the waiter call out, Cang Ye took out the token from his pocket.
The scene was almost exactly the same as two years ago. He and Yu Ling were directly invited to a luxurious private room. However, this private room was no longer the same one from back then. After bowing respectfully, the waiter left the room. Not long after, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Hearing the voice, Cang Ye knew that the innkeeper had arrived.
The moment the shopkeeper entered, Cang Ye was also stunned. It turned out that this shopkeeper was still the same one from two years ago!
"I didn't know that Guardian Qing Xia had arrived. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you!”
Cang Ye smiled when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, not only did the person not change, but even the conversation did not change.
Seeing Cang Ye laugh, the shopkeeper was at a loss. Although the two people in front of him were very young. However, having lived in this city for decades, he understood. No matter how young they were, they were not people he could afford to offend. Moreover, the two of them were holding guardian tokens!
For example, back then, an old man and a child came here. At that time, the old man also held a guardian token. But who knew that this old man would turn out to be a Peak Stage Spirit King! What kind of person was that? He was a terrifying existence who could decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in an empire with a single sentence!
This Green Cloud City was the Green Cloud Sect's gateway to the outside world. However, even within this gateway, the strongest martial artist guarding it was not just a Peak Spiritual Grandmaster. Compared to that old man back then, the difference was an entire large level!
Cang Ye did not give any instructions, so he naturally could not do anything. He could only wait here.
After chuckling a few times, he noticed that Feather Spirit was also looking at him with a puzzled gaze. Cang Ye then said to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, don't you recognize me?"
Upon hearing Cang Ye's words, the shopkeeper's eyes widened as he carefully identified the person. Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it, he could not remember that he knew this person.
Actually, this shopkeeper could not be blamed. Two years was enough to change a lot. Moreover, Cang Ye was also in the middle of his growth period. His appearance now could be said to be worlds apart from when he had just descended the mountain two years ago.
"Shopkeeper, do you still remember that two years ago, Master and I also came here to eat with the guardian token? He remembered that it was in another private room. Shopkeeper, do you remember?" Seeing the shopkeeper's expression gradually become enlightened, Cang Ye knew that he had gradually remembered.
"So the young master is that person from back then! Of course, the old man remembered. At that time, the young master came here with Elder Li. That unpleasant incident happened that time. It was this old man's dereliction of duty!”Two years ago, after Li Tianluo and the others had left, the shopkeeper had relayed the matter to the empire. Through the empire's information, he found out what kind of person the old man he had received was!
"It's not the shopkeeper's fault. Don't blame yourself. This time, my junior sister and I came down the mountain to go home. We'll have a meal here at the last minute.”
"I don't mind, I don't mind. Why would this old man mind? Please wait for a moment. I'll instruct the kitchen to bring the best dishes.”
"Shopkeeper, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just serve some snacks.”Seeing the shopkeeper being so ostentatious, Cang Ye felt a little embarrassed.
"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment. The food will be ready soon. Young Master, are you going to change to another room? I don't know that you're here. After Elder Li and Young Master left, I kept that room and never let anyone enter. I'm just waiting for the two of you to come again!”
"There's no need to trouble yourself. Just serve the dishes according to the shopkeeper's suggestion.”
"Alright, alright. I'll listen to Young Master.”After saying that, the shopkeeper immediately left the room to prepare the dishes.
"Brother Ye, how do you know this shopkeeper?”Seeing the shopkeeper leave the room, Yu Ling asked.
With a faint smile, Cang Ye told Feather Spirit everything that had happened back then. He even told them about what happened in the Azure Clouds City's martial arts practice field.
"Oh, it happened that day when you secretly ran away with Uncle Li without telling me anything!”Yu Ling squinted her eyes and said happily.
Cang Ye wanted to slap himself. He really brought up a sore spot!
Although the two of them had been together every day recently. However, Yu Ling still held a grudge against Cang Ye for secretly leaving the mountain without even saying a word. It wasn't easy for her to throw that matter to the back of her mind because of the joy of returning home and the nervousness of seeing Cang Ye's parents. But now, she brought up this jinx of hers. How unlucky!
Seeing that Feather Spirit's smile was getting brighter and brighter, Cang Ye's heart became more and more anxious. Coincidentally, the food arrived at this time. The old shopkeeper followed him in.
Seeing that there were outsiders present, Feather Spirit did not make things difficult for Cang Ye. Although he was still young, he already understood some things.
Not long after, the two of them were full. Under the enthusiastic urging of the shopkeeper, the two of them still embarked on the journey home…
By the time they walked out of the Yan Tian Empire's teleportation array, it was already afternoon.
Walking out of the teleportation array and looking at the architectural style in front of him, Cang Ye felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart…
I, Cang Ye, am back!
Seeing him in a daze, the Feather Spirit did not urge him and stayed by his side.
She already knew Cang Ye's background. Back then, that good-for-nothing youth, they had only met once every five years. When he set foot on this land, he had already become an existence revered by countless people!
During the competition, Yu Ling had already learned about Cang Ye's cultivation from Sun Hao. Although he did not specify what level it was. But just the two words Spirit Lord were enough to make countless people look up to him!
There were only a few Spiritual Sect experts in the entire Yantian Emperor Kingdom!
The Grand Elders of the four great clans were merely at the Spirit Lord's strength!
In this world, the definition of a first-rate sect and a higher-up empire was that they had to have a Spiritual King expert. Therefore, the Spirit King was a true figure akin to the founder of the Seven Great Empires. There were only a few Spirit Grandmasters in every empire. They were all existences that were not bound by any rules. They would only appear when the battle was irreversible. And the Spirit Lord was the most powerful expert in the confrontation between the various empires!
There were four great spiritual sects in the Yantian Empire. Two of them were nurtured by the royal family, one belonged to the itinerant cultivator lineage, and the other was the Grand Elder of a second-rate sect in the Yantian Empire, the Tianxuan Sect. The true ancestor of the empire, Heavenly King Yan, had long disappeared. Therefore, the strongest person in the Yantian Empire was only a Spirit Grandmaster. This was not only the case for the Yantian Empire. The other empires also had similar situations. Once they became a Spiritual King, the so-called secular world would no longer be able to attract their attention. The pursuit of the supreme Dao was their urgent hope!
Of the two Grandmasters in the royal family, one was stationed in the Imperial City all year round to stabilize the order of the empire. One was stationed in Green Cloud City and was responsible for responding to the various instructions of the Green Cloud Sect. The whereabouts of a wandering cultivator's grandmaster were unpredictable. He was probably only known in the Yantian Empire. The other Grand Elder of the Tian Xuan Sect had been guarding the sect. It rarely appeared in the empire.
Therefore, in the entire Yantian Empire, there was only one Grandmaster who appeared in front of the world all year round!
Spirit Lords were extremely rare in the entire Yantian Empire. There were no more than two peak Spirit Lords in the entire empire. Thus, Cang Ye now possessed the battle prowess of a Spirit Lord, and he was already worthy of the entire Empire's respect. Moreover, this was a youth who was not even fifteen years old!
When he came back to his senses, he found that the Feather Spirit had been by his side the whole time and did not have the slightest intention of urging him. He suddenly felt warm in his heart. The fear he had when he was about to face his "parents" had dissipated a lot.
"Let's go, Ling 'er. I believe that the people from the family should have arrived!”
"En, Brother Ye, why don't you take our Yu Family's carriage back later? I don't want to part with you so early.”Looking at the blushing Feather Spirit, Cang Ye felt that accepting the Feather Spirit was one of the most correct things in his life!
He knew what Feather Spirit was thinking. She was afraid that he would be laughed at by the disciples of the family, so she used herself as an excuse to say such words. After all, he did not show his strength during the competition. His withdrawal from the competition later on made countless disciples think that he was afraid. Naturally, the juniors of the Cang Family were the ones who clamored the most.
"It's okay. Anyway, when I go home this time, people will know about my cultivation. Besides, there's not much I can fear in this country now!”As he spoke, a confident aura arose spontaneously.
Yu Ling didn't feel that there was anything wrong with saying such words.
She had already seen the main grade divine weapon called Reincarnation. Cang Ye did not hide the origin of this divine weapon from her. Although it was a Master-grade weapon, the quality of the materials and the skill of the blacksmith made it comparable to an ordinary Zong-grade weapon!
Cang Ye, who had Reincarnation in his hands, was nothing worth his attention below the Spirit Sect.
In fact, even the Spiritual Grandmasters and even those king-level existences could not stop him.
The reason why the sect dared to let such a peerless monster leave the mountain was not only because his cultivation could be preserved, but more importantly, Yue Xingyan had given him the sect's most precious treasure, the Mortal Breaking Stone.
No one knew where this heaven-defying item, the Mortal Breaking Stone, came from. However, according to Li Tian Luo, this thing was very likely to be something from the main world. Only the ones there could be so magical.
It was not used in battle. As long as he injected a little spiritual energy into the Mortal Shattering Stone, he could tear through space and directly teleport the person holding the Mortal Shattering Stone to another place. As for the exact location, that would depend on luck. Although there was a certain degree of uncertainty and danger, many people coveted this life-saving legendary item. This kind of thing could guarantee the lives of those below the emperor level!
"In that case, I'll go home first. I'll visit Brother Ye's house tomorrow.”When she mentioned visiting, she seemed to have thought of something. Her smiling face was already red as if water was about to drip out.
"Mhm, Ling Er, you should go back first. I should be the one going to the Yu Family first.”Feather Spirit knew that Cang Ye was very opinionated. Moreover, according to logic, Cang Ye should be the first to pay a visit. Thus, she didn't say anything. She held Cang Ye's hand and walked towards the convoy that the Yu Family had left behind.
"Ling 'Er, you're Little Ling' Er? You're Little Ling 'er!" When the two of them were still far away from the Yu Family's convoy, an old man in the convoy seemed to have recognized Yu Ling first.
Cang Ye could feel the excitement in his heart when he saw the white-haired old man. To be able to recognize the drastically changed Feather Spirit after five years, this old man must have missed the Feather Spirit very much.
As expected, he felt the hands that were hugging his arm tremble slightly. Cang Ye knew that this person must be a close relative of Feather Spirit.
When the two of them walked to the front of the convoy, Yu Ling released her hands and threw herself into the old man's arms.
"Fifth Grandpa, Little Ling 'er missed you so much…"
Fifth Grandpa? He looked at the old man in front of him, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, and his status in the convoy. It seemed that this was the Fifth Elder of the Yu Family that Yu Ling often mentioned.
The old man in front of him had the cultivation of a Spirit Lord. Although Cang Ye could kill one with a single sword strike, in this empire…He could already become an authoritative figure in a family.
"Greetings, Fifth Grandfather. Junior Cang Ye greets you.”After Yu Ling got up from the arms of the Fifth Elder of the Yu Family, Cang Ye was the first to introduce himself.
"Cang Ye, is he a disciple of our empire's Cang family? Hehe, the young man and Little Ling 'er's relationship is not shallow!”The fifth elder smiled as he looked at Cang Ye.
Previously, Feather Spirit had come over with Cang Ye's arm. The relationship between the two of them was not just shallow! It was really deep.
Hearing Fifth Elder's teasing, Feather Spirit pulled his hands and shook them.
"Aiya, Fifth Grandpa, we've only just met and you're already making fun of me.”He chuckled as he looked at the young girl who was acting coquettishly in front of him. He did not expect that five years had already passed. The little girl in the past now had someone she liked.
"Alright, alright. Grandpa stopped laughing. Does Little Ye want to leave with us? Looking at the two of you, you'll be half a Yu family soon. Let's go back together.”
Hearing the last sentence, not only Yu Ling, even Cang Ye's face turned red.
"There's no need, Fifth Grandpa. The Cang Family's carriage is just over there. I'll just take the Cang Family's carriage back.”Seeing that the Little Princess was the last Yu Family disciple to arrive, Cang Ye did not want to stay and disturb her departure. He made an appointment with Yu Ling for tomorrow and left to rush to the Cang Family's convoy.
"Ling 'er, do you really like this brat called Cang Ye?”He watched Cang Ye's back disappear from his sight. The Fifth Elder's expression gradually darkened.
"Yeah, what's wrong, Fifth Grandpa?”Seeing the change in Fifth Elder's expression, Feather Spirit also realized that something seemed to have gone wrong.
"Sigh, you should be the one to choose who you like. However, you are the most talented disciple of the Yu Family. For the sake of the clan's development, it would be very difficult for the clan to get close to this Cang Ye's junior!”Looking at the girl's worried expression, the fifth elder could not bear to see her.
He could be considered to have watched Feather Spirit grow up. He doted on Yu Ling as if she was his granddaughter. However, the obstruction of the clan would probably be the greatest obstacle between the two of them. At this moment, he had no choice but to say it so that Feather Spirit could wake up.
"However, don't worry. If Little Ling 'Er really likes your Brother Ye, Fifth Grandpa will definitely support you!”
"I knew Fifth Grandpa was the best. But Brother Ye is very outstanding! I believe the clan will understand."
"En en! How could the person Little Ling 'er liked be an ordinary person!”The fifth elder hid a hint of worry in his eyes as he teased.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to rest in the carriage. I'm exhausted after running for half a day." Seeing that the Feather Spirit had entered the carriage, the Fifth Elder's eyes were filled with worry.
Although he already had the cultivation of a Spirit Lord, it was a pity that he was not the only Spirit Lord in the clan. Whether or not he could say anything about this matter was another matter!
"Sigh, we'll take one step at a time! If it really doesn't work, I'll take Little Ling 'er out of the house!”After muttering a few words, the fifth elder seemed to have made up his mind. He shouted at the family guards who had been guarding around him. The convoy began to return to the Yu Family.
By the time Cang Ye arrived at the Cang Family's team, almost everyone had already arrived.
Walking into the group, he realized that none of the elders in the group had appeared in his memory.
"I didn't expect that this so-called family wouldn't know as many people as outside.”With a self-deprecating smile, he strode toward the clan elder who was receiving the disciples.
"Elder, I'm back."
Looking at the young man in front of him, the elder frowned. Why didn't he have any impression of him?
"Cough cough, which sect are you from?”After thinking for a long time, he still could not figure out who this person in front of him was. In fact, this clan elder could not be blamed for not paying attention. When they left that year, everyone was still a child. Five years had changed so much, who could remember so clearly? Moreover, Cang Ye's frail and sickly appearance back then also made it impossible for people to have a relationship with the resolute youth now.
"I'm a branch disciple of the sixth branch. My name is Cang Ye, and my father is Cang Yun.”As one of the Four Great Clans, the Cang Family had a large number of people. They didn't dare to say that it was a large number, but they had at least four to five thousand people.
"Oh, it's Cang Yun's child. You can go to the car over there. I'll be returning to the clan later." Hearing Cang Yun's name, this elder seemed to have thought of something. He waved his hand and gestured for Cang Ye to go to the carriage on the other side.
Hearing the elder's answer, Cang Ye frowned slightly. It wasn't because this elder's attitude was bad or he didn't feel valued. It was just that this elder's attitude was a little strange.
After hearing the arrangement, Cang Ye's brows only furrowed for a moment before relaxing. He walked towards the carriage that the clan elder had pointed out.
However, if there was anything, he would know when he got home. There was no need to think about it here.
"Hmph, your whole family is full of trash. Don't you know your status? I hope you don't cause trouble and let the other families see you as a joke. If you lose face for the family, the entire family will not let you off!”He spat at Cang Ye's back. Only then did the sect elder turn around and leave.
Although he had left, Cang Ye had experienced the baptism of nebulous Primordial Chaos when he broke through to the Connate realm. His senses far exceeded that of a Spirit Master realm warrior!
His eyes turned cold as he looked in the direction of the Imperial City.
" Peak of the Spirit Lord Stage. I hope you can block my sword…"
