In the Heavenly South Domain, the Dao of Qi Refinement was extremely popular.
There were many sects and aristocratic families there, and cultivators had been fighting for many years.
In the cultivation world, the strong are always strong and the weak are always weak.
Experts could occupy spirit veins with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate, or to bless their descendants, or to establish a sect.
The weak could only depend on the sects and families to survive. In order to earn a few low-grade spirit stones, they often had to be slaves for several years.
The Heavenly South Domain had a total of six great sects under their control, and hundreds of thousands of cultivation forces and families were attached to them. Most of these cultivation families were founded by disciples of the six great sects who saw that there was no hope for cultivation and returned to the secular world.
With the nurturing of generations, some cultivation families eventually disappeared in the river of time. Some families were lucky enough to take root in this land and gradually reproduce…
One needed to have a spiritual root first if one wanted to step on the path of cultivation. Among them, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were the five elements of spiritual roots, while wind, thunder, and ice were the strange spiritual roots.
However, only one in ten thousand mortals were born with spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots were divided into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
Those with five spiritual roots had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in their cultivation journey. They were called pseudo spiritual roots.
People with four spiritual roots had a very small chance of breaking through to the foundation establishment stage. They had low-grade spiritual roots.
Whether it was the sect or the family, only those with three-spirit roots and above were worthy of their efforts to nurture.
Among them, those with three spiritual roots were middle-grade spiritual roots.
Those with two spiritual roots and abnormal spiritual roots were high-grade spiritual roots.
Only those with single-attribute heavenly spiritual roots could be called supreme-grade spiritual roots.
In the Heavenly South Region and the Qingzhou Region, the ancestor of the Ye Family was a cultivator with two spiritual roots.
Ye Xuanqing was once the child of a mortal farmer's family. He was fortunate enough to be detected to have fire and wood spiritual roots in a spiritual root test. Later, he was accepted as a core disciple by a Golden Core Patriarch of the Scarlet Yang Sect.
After he entered the sect, his cultivation had gone out of control. In 20 years, he cultivated to the perfected level 12 Qi Refinement realm. In the next year, he established his foundation. In the next 100 years, Ye Xuanqing's cultivation reached the Purple Prefecture realm.
Unfortunately, after that, the Daoist-Fiend War in the Heavenly South Domain swept through the entire region.
Facing the invasion of the Demon Sect, the six major sects sent their disciples to fight with all their might. That battle lasted for 30 years.
Ye Xuanqing's foundation was damaged in that battle. Without his foundation, it was impossible for him to form the Golden Core.
Seeing that there was no hope for his Dao path, he became a Dao partner with a Foundation Establishment female cultivator in despair. Then, he used his accumulated sect contribution points to exchange for a batch of cultivation resources and applied to the sect to return to the secular world to establish a family.
Ye Xuanqing had been cultivating for 150 years and had never returned home. When he looked back, things had long changed. The Ye family in the mortal world had already disappeared.
Perhaps he felt guilty, so he returned to the ancestral land of the mortal family, Qingzhou, and established the Ye family.
A hundred years later, Ye Xuanqing had nine sons and three daughters, six of whom had spiritual roots. His second son, third son, sixth son, and eldest daughter were able to reach Foundation Establishment.
After another hundred years, Ye Xuanqing passed away at the age of 360 due to his repeated injuries.
Since then, the Ye family had opened a new chapter.
However, although the Ye clan continued to flourish for several generations, they were unable to nurture a single Zifu Disciple, and their power gradually declined.
Back then, Ye Xuanqing wrote down the genealogy as 'Founding a Foundation, Don't Forget Your Origins. The Will of the Azure Cloud, Dao Seeking Longevity. Brave the wind and waves, united as a city. The stream flows endlessly, the sun rises from the east. The thirty-two words were used as the sequence of seniority in the genealogy.
When it was passed down to the Mo generation, the Ye family only had one Foundation Establishment cultivator left.
Seeing that the Ye Family was about to be swallowed up by the surrounding families, it was fortunate that the sixth ancestor of the Ye Family, Ye Wangyu, was born.
Just like Ye Xuanqing, Ye Wangyu also had two spiritual roots and had successfully entered the Scarlet Yang Sect.
In the next several hundred years, the Ye clan gradually recovered its strength. It was only during the Wen generation that Ye Wenxiao managed to become a Zifu Disciple after spending a hundred and sixty years.
From then on, the Ye family once again became one of the four first-rate cultivation families in Qingzhou…
