The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1319 - 501: SS Rank, Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva

The Nameless Canyon, a place rarely trodden by humans.

Twelve Vine Daoists, twelve Tree Knights, four Tree Dignitaries, stand in line as if being punished, neatly arrayed.

The Dream Pampas Grass growing atop the palace, curling up its fuzzy body, reveals an unmistakable restraint and fear that cannot be concealed.

Even the leading figure of the Flower God Valley, General Ginseng stood stiff as a plank, unresponsive to whatever GuaGua did to rouse it.

"Sword form... Lightning Series Divine Enthronement..."

"Human form... also Divine Enthronement..."

"The Ye Family has already achieved One Crown and Two Gods... matching the peak state of an Earth Immortal... striving to be the strongest among All Heavens..."

"This person is also the master of the Valley Master... My Flower God Valley... suddenly knows such an awesome figure???"

The dispirited General Ginseng, with a gulp, collapses on the ground without any image to preserve.

It has eye-like organs, shaped like crescent moons, that look skyward, dazed, as if lost in a dream.

Jin Xuanzi is no better off, but his stupor is mixed with shock and extreme excitement.

Ye Chengfeng—a super seed of his people, following Progenitor Ye Shura and the Seventh Generation Patriarch · Ye Wuyou!

He never attempted to reach the Saint Realm, but through his strength and talent, he won the allegiance of Ultimate Flash, once dubbed "the predetermined second ancestor of the Ye Clan," destined to become the Ye Clan’s Guardian God given time!

This man... is still alive??

What exactly is going on? No matter how one looks at it, this matches exactly with Ye Chengfeng’s self-portraits; if it’s an impersonation, why assume his appearance?

If it’s real, why is there no masculine vigor typical of humans, but instead, an air of feminine grace, like a Ghostly Soul, more like a shadow of a demon?

"We were at Emperor Corpse Ridge, conducting the Void Summoning Ritual..."

"He is the Chengfeng Ancestor, inheriting the bloodline of Ultimate Flash with a human soul, returning from nirvana, the one and only Heroic Spirit God among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds..."

Ye Hanjun parted his lips slowly, narrating.

The trembling Jin Xuanzi held his breath and focused, his elated mood calming slightly upon hearing the crux.

After a long while, Ye Hanjun stopped speaking.

Jin Xuanzi was left wanting more, seemingly lost in the past full of strange happenings, tears unwittingly filling his eyes.

"On behalf of my long-deceased Contract Patron—the Mr. Ye · Ye Gu, I send greetings to Chengfeng Ancestor."

"Your way of breaking and then establishing anew, not only is it beyond what your kin could imagine, but those Holy and Divine Clans who fell in the darkness of turmoil—destined to harbor resentment in hell, never to rest in peace."

"Dead is dead, let them be."

Ye Chengfeng waved his hand dismissively, his robe fluttering as he sat cross-legged in mid-air, speaking indifferently:

"Ye Shitian sacrificed himself to protect a clan and a realm, his merits recorded in history, remains the nominal second ancestor, unshakable."

"As for me, I have made no such contributions, and am not yet worthy to be called Ancestor."

"Of course, Lord Han is lacking a bit in experience too. He has established Contracts with the Thunder System Primordial Spirit and the Nether Hanba God, but he’s still a Saint, not yet a Crown Rank, his Ability is just quite special, a unique presence in All Heavens."

"What? There’s a Hanba God too?!"

General Ginseng suddenly wakes with a start, flipping up off the ground, exclaiming in disbelief:

"Is that the Goddess Ba from the Ancient Cosmos?"

"That’s the Sun Sovereign reverently feared by Earth Immortals alive; with Her presence, the fame of the Solar Abyss was thunderous, a mere name enough to deter all heroes!"

"No, it’s Grandpa Mu Yi, the second Divine Enthronement of the Hanba Clan!"

GuaGua transforms back to its original form, and while General Ginseng’s attention shifts, lands on Yu Ruoxin’s shoulder, clinging to her, unwilling to leave:

"Little Ginseng, what have you guys found out all these years?"

"Haven’t you heard about legends such as Sun God Lord, Gray Sun Cult Leader, the newly minted Thunder God or something? "

"Big Tadpole has been getting famous lately, we can hear various discussions while traveling, I don’t believe you’ve heard nothing, why are you afraid to make the connection with us?"

"%#@￥!"

General Ginseng swears something indecipherable in anger, saying resentfully:

"You can disparage me for being weak, but you can’t insult my intelligence!"

"No matter what, I am also amongst the top thinkers of Flower God Valley, leading my people in cultivating great lands, developing plants—a tremendous contribution!"

"Clearly, you guys are the freaks, far beyond common understanding; how can you turn it around and think I’m not thorough enough?!"

"Humph humph, you are a little landlord, so fussy."

"Xiaotieqiu is so outstanding, her master is certainly more so, there’s no need for doubt."

GuaGua shakes its head dismissively, commenting, and then turns to Yu Ruoxin:

"Xiaotieqiu, how have you been for these few thousand years?"

"I remember at Century Clock, your Authority evolved into an A-rank ’Womb of the Earth’, what class have you transferred to now? I really want to know!"

Meeting the little one’s curious gaze, Yu Ruoxin smiles gently and says sincerely:

"I’ve had a very fulfilling few thousand years."

"I’ve plowed all the land in Flower God Valley and found many Ancient Era’s precious seeds that were originally sealed and difficult to cultivate."

"Then, with my help and everyone’s concerted efforts, seventy percent of the seeds regained their vitality."

"The natural aura of the valley that faded over time has once again reached a very high concentration, benefiting all beings living there..."

Yu Ruoxin paused, then changed the subject:

"As for my Authority..."

"After advancing to the 6th Rank at Ghost Lamp Abyss, Senior Jin Xuanzi took me to Flower God Valley."

"After embracing the Earth Immortal’s heritage, the A-rank ’Womb of the Earth’ transformed into an S-rank ’Lord of Earthly Riches’."

"After climbing to the Seventh Rank, I changed class again, and to this day, I have maintained an SS-rank ’Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva’."
