The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2918: Chapter 2892: Does Bloodline Matter? (Part 1)

The bloodline of the Ye family’s collateral branches has never been severed, and this tower has played a crucial role in that.

On the ninth level, more than ten cultivators with extremely powerful auras gathered together. Among these people, the weakest was at the first level of the Heavenly God Realm, and most were early-stage Heavenly God Realm powerhouses.

Among them, the three strongest were surprisingly mid-stage Heavenly God Realm Great Power Users!

This was the remnant foundation of the Ye family. Tens of thousands of years ago, the number of Ye family’s powerhouses was more than a hundred times this number. Now, its strength is barely one-tenth, but without the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao Palace, this force would still be comparable to the top forces in the Divine Kingdom!

Without exception.

Unfortunately, after the fall of the Samsara Master, these remnant forces knew that they could only remain hidden in the dark.

If one day, the opportunity arises, they will surely launch a counterattack against the Heavenly Dao Palace!

”For this ancestor worship, all branches of the Ye family must do their utmost. This time, we must succeed; failure is not permitted!”

A Ye family elder from a collateral branch said passionately.

”We cannot fail again. If we do not succeed this time, we might never have the chance to restore the glory of the Ye family collateral branches, and there is even the possibility of annihilation!”

”By then, we may never be able to avenge the Samsara Master.”

An old woman hunched over, but her aura was terrifying.

”Have all the talented young members from each family branch showed up this time?”

A dignified middle-aged powerhouse scanned the entire hall and asked solemnly.

These three were mid-stage Heavenly God Realm Great Power Users of the Ye family and also the core rulers of all the collateral branches of the Ye family.

Today’s Ye family is divided into dozens of branches and hundreds of collateral families, with complex relationships, divided into three major forces centered around these three Great Power Users.

Ye Ziming, currently among the descendants of the Ye family, has the closest bloodline relation to the ancestors and controls the Linglong Pagoda.

Ye Zigeng, the leader among the descendants of the Ye family’s former vassal forces. Many of those vassal forces were the adopted sons and daughters of the Ye family’s ancestors and are also categorized as ”Heavenly Punishers,” considered as Ye family descendants.

The third force consists of other powerhouses that are not affiliated with the previous two, led by an old woman named Ye Xueqing.

They represent the Ye family and are among the remaining strongest members of the Ye family.

The senior members of the Ye family discussed and focused on the talented young members.

This is because, to activate the secret realm left by the Ye family’s ancestors and obtain the Outer Realm Star Stone, one must undergo a test and pass the rigorous inheritance ceremony.

Only the ”juniors” under a thousand years old are qualified to undergo this ceremony.

According to tradition, each of the three factions nominates ten people, from whom one seed candidate is selected. These three are entrusted with high hopes and are the most likely to pass the ceremony and activate the secret realm.

”Ye Sheng!”

Ye Ziming selected a person, this descendant of the Ye family with a remarkable talent, who at just over eight hundred years old, had already reached the eighth level of the Chaos Realm in cultivation, and his bloodline power was rich enough that he could even replace Ye Ziming in controlling the Linglong Pagoda.

”Ye Tanzhu, over nine hundred years old, Chaos Realm Ninth Layer Heaven.” Ye Zigeng did not elaborate much on this seed candidate, as his strength surpassed all.

The old woman Ye Xueqing chose her personal disciple.

”Ye Niang, seven hundred and eighty years old, Chaos Realm Ninth Layer Heaven.”

Upon hearing this, even Ye Ziming and Ye Zigeng showed both solemnity and excitement.

”Good, good! This ancestor worship has brought forth many monstrous talents among our Ye family descendants, a great fortune for the Ye family!”

The senior members of the Ye family were all excited and full of confidence in this endeavor.

”Where is Ye Lingtian? Why hasn’t he come?” At this moment, Ye Ziming suddenly mentioned someone.

Ye Lingtian came from a special collateral force that disappeared in the Divine Kingdom many years ago and its whereabouts are unknown.

When Ye Lingtian’s memories awakened in the Divine Extreme Sect, he left to find a collateral branch of the Ye family to verify something.

Because Ye Lingtian’s ancestors were very low-key, most people in the Linglong Pagoda did not know who Ye Lingtian’s ancestors were.

It’s only known that a part of his bloodline is hidden within him, originating from a low-level martial plane.

He was considered one of their own.

Ye Ziming did not particularly favor him, but he thought, since this person came from a low-level martial plane and was able to reach the Divine Kingdom in just a few years, perhaps he has something extraordinary. Allowing him to participate in such a major event like the Ye family ancestor worship might bring unexpected surprises.

”Elder, a flying ship is blocking the way outside, and two people claim to be descendants of the Ye family, requesting to join the ancestor worship!”

At this moment, a Ye family elder entered to report.

”Who are those two?”

”They are unfamiliar faces, never heard of them. One is called Ye Lingtian, the other Ye Chen!”

Outside the Linglong Pagoda, Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian stood in mid-air, facing two vigilant Ye family disciples.

Ye Lingtian received the ancestral inheritance, his bloodline power was rich, and his sensing of the Ye family’s clan treasure, the Linglong Pagoda, was incredibly sharp, leading him here following that mysterious sensation.𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Ye Chen’s plan was to hide his identity, legitimately joining the Ye family with Ye Lingtian, mixing into the ancestor worship, and then watching the situation unfold, while having his sights set on the Reincarnation Star Stone.

A minute later, the Ye family disciple who had gone in to report walked out and invited Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian inside.

On the way, they were asked many questions about their identities. Ye Chen remained silent and very low-key, appearing like Ye Lingtian’s attendant; Ye Lingtian answered every question.

”For you two to cultivate and ascend to the Divine Kingdom from the barren regions of a low-level martial plane is indeed not easy. What is commendable is that you still remember that you are part of the Ye family. I look forward to your performance in this ancestor worship.”

This Ye family disciple, with the strength of the sixth level of the Chaos Realm, saw that Ye Chen was only at the eighth level of the Disaster Slaying realm. Although he couldn’t see through Ye Lingtian’s strength, he didn’t pay him much attention and spoke in the tone of an elder.

Ye Lingtian expressed his thanks and asked, ”Senior, where are we going next? Will you take us to meet the elders?”

In the Ye family, only those above the Heavenly God Realm, with high seniority and significant status within the clan, can be referred to as ”elders.”

This Ye family elder, however, slightly curled his lips, thinking you are of no status to meet the elders so easily.

”The elders are discussing major issues. Let me first take you to verify your identities. If everything is fine, I will arrange a place for you to stay.”

In the Jueye Land, there are many dangers, and most of the time, the people of the Ye family stay within the Linglong Pagoda.

The method to verify identity is simple; after verifying through a special spiritual artifact that there is indeed Ye Family bloodline within their bodies, a simple registration of name and origin is performed, creating an identity jade token, with which they can navigate the extensive space within the Pagoda.

Afterwards, this Ye family elder led the two to the third level of the Pagoda, designated two rooms for them, left a few simple instructions, and a booklet of the Ye family’s clan rules, then floated away.

”Did we blend in so easily? It seems the Ye family is already full of holes now!” Ye Chen said somewhat helplessly.

For tens of thousands of years, the descendants of the Ye family have drifted to various places. Besides a few major collateral branches being able to band together, there are many small branches and orphans like Ye Lingtian. This loose management model is understandable for the Ye family.

However... bloodlines can be faked.
