The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 736 - 304: The Revival of Ancient Creatures_3

Before Ye Liuying could assume an intimidating pose, Ye Hanjun exhaled a murky breath, and murmured softly:

"Although there were many unexpected aspects, on reflection, all outcomes have met the expectations. What remains is to steadily adjust our approach, and this margin for error is still acceptable."

"But..."

Ye Liuying paused for a moment, then emphasized again:

"Once we enter the tomb, we’ll be fighting alone."

"Ye Yin is also alone, whether he can survive or not is still unknown."

"Thinking too much is useless."

Ye Hanjun gave a carefree laugh, "Whether it’s you or Ye Yin, neither of you are helpless scholars. Everyone has their own path to follow."

"Rather than being anxious and fearful in our thoughts, at this time, it’s better to take a chance and trust in your abilities and potential to withstand this test."

"Lord Han."

A slightly affectionate greeting sounded, approaching from afar.

The speaker was Ye Mo, leading Ye Kun and Ye Dingding as they walked slowly towards them, a trace of a smile on their faces.

"Please consider the matter of cooperation within the tomb carefully."

"There are some opportunities that one cannot seize alone, and at those times, cooperation might be the best choice."

"Alright," Ye Hanjun smiled faintly, "If the advantage of timing and location are in our favor, I won’t be opposed to cooperation."

"That’s good, I wish you every success."

Ye Mo sighed with a smile and then added:

"Surviving a great peril often brings greater fortune. Having survived the lock-on of the fatal cannon, in Asura’s Tomb, you will definitely obtain resources that will please you."

"If our Ye Clan can produce a Level 7 Dual Authority, the burden of revitalizing our race may very well rest on your shoulders, revered ancestors above."

"Let’s not speak of this for now."

Ye Hanjun slightly raised his brows, noticing several divine spirits flying in from mid-air.

The one presiding over the opening ceremony of the relic was not Jin Xuanzi but had been replaced by Ye Shu.

She descended to the earth riding a divine fish, and despite the Saint’s restrained aura, it still invoked a sense of awe in everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the formation is activated, I still want to ask."

"Entering the ancestral tomb, what exactly do you seek?"

Ye Shu’s voice, smooth and gentle, echoed in everyone’s ears.

Ye Hanlian, with boundless concern in her eyes, waved goodbye to a boy not far from her.

She suppressed the sobs in her throat, turned around, and bending down replied:

"For myself, and for my family."

"Those who enter the tomb and manage to endure till the end will inevitably receive a lifetime of blessings."

"In addition to extracting the supreme treasures from the tomb, an extra authority infusion almost guarantees that each survivor advances to Level 7."

"If one accumulates substantial achievements within the tomb, upon departure, a higher grant is likely, increasing the chances of advancing to Level 8 beyond the usual rate."

"If the whole family excels, conquering countless disasters and dangerous terrains within, it’s possible upon departure to be awarded ’The Son of Shura.’"

"Such a title isn’t guaranteed even for royal clan members of the Young Emperor level, only saying that if not doomed prematurely, the probability is higher."

"Once obtained, the founder’s protective enhancement effect will continually activate, safeguarding the path until the ascension to a sacred position..."

"Correct."

Ye Shu nodded her head, her voice calm as still water:

"All these premises are about surviving," he said.

"Historically, members of our clan have found safe havens inside the tomb, barely clinging to life until the relics closed," he continued.

"But they were not able to receive even the lowest level of blessings. If you truly fear, it’s better to withdraw early," he concluded.

Ye Hanlian remained silent, glancing at the icy gaze sweeping toward her from Ye Qiyu and bowing her head quietly.

"Qiyu, a coerced melon isn’t sweet. Why bother?" Ye Shu said.

Ye Shu’s fingers flicked, and a breeze brushed against Ye Qiyu’s cheek, carrying a bit of sand that made him close his eyes, his innate indifference thereby losing its outlet.

A second gust of wind blew, sweeping Ye Hanlian, Ye Hegui, Ye Shanzhu, and a group of others to the boundary some hundred meters away.

"Saint Ancestor!"

Ye Qiyu suddenly opened his eyes, refusing to show weakness, he said,

"They shouldn’t miss such an opportunity!"

Ye Shu shook his head, putting a finger to his lips, and whispered softly,

"I understand your intentions."

"But with a heart inclined to retreat and filled with fear, how can one survive in the tomb?"

"If we just go in to die, what’s the point?"

"You all go back, we value quality over quantity, others will suffice," he added.

"Thank you, Saint Ancestor!"

Ye Hegui, Ye Shanzhu... many were overjoyed, some even to the point of tears.

However, unexpectedly, Ye Hanlian suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Ye Shu, saying,

"Saint Ancestor... I have made my decision, you don’t need to worry about me."

"Even though I come from a noble family, the greater good supersedes our smaller home."

"Under a collapsed nest, there are no whole eggs. Qiyu is right, if the Ye Clan falls, where else can we, like duckweed in the water, go?"

"You have my thanks," Ye Shu responded.

A breeze rippled, and Ye Hanlian appeared before Ye Shu, who reached out and gently caressed her cheek, wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye.

"Rest assured, your child, although not yet officially given the surname of Ye, will not be bullied by anyone and will have a fulfilling childhood."

"In a few years, I hope you will come out alive to see your family reunited, and I will present you with my blessing."

"I certainly will!"

Ye Hanlian started to laugh, a maternal glow burning brightly upon her:

"I will do everything within my power, and then survive!"

"The tomb is full of deceitful mechanisms and wandering evil beasts that often annihilate humanity, devoid of any wisdom—as such, you must be very careful," he cautioned.

Ye Shu gently pushed, sending Ye Hanlian towards the formation area, then swept his gentle gaze across each person’s face:

"I know, memebers of the Ye Clan grow up in a competitive environment from childhood. It’s hard for you to truly have brotherly affection, the word ’family’ is distant from you."

"Inside the tomb, if it’s for an important opportunity, even if it means fighting among brothers, no one will say much, as it’s the survival of the fittest, always so."

"Our Ye Clan has endured to this day. If it weren’t for our ruthlessness, how could we stand firm?" he reflected.

At this, Ye Shu sighed deeply, overcome with emotion, he said,

"But... with the state of the family today, it’s dire."

"If the conflict hasn’t reached an irredeemable stage, I still hope that you will, as much as possible, know when to stop," he concluded.
