Chapter 125: Breakthrough to Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Heaven Terrifying Combat Power

Time passed quietly, flowing like a river. Five years slipped by in the blink of an eye.

In the cultivation world, five years might mean barely a ripple in the grand scheme of things.

But for Ye Wushang’s children, five years without their father felt far too long. Long enough for longing to take root in their hearts.

Many of them had come of age and undergone their baptism.

Some had joined the Great Xia Dynasty’s military to temper themselves, as the dynasty waged relentless campaigns to ascend to imperial status.

Others, like Ye Zifeng, had joined major sects and quickly earned important roles.

After all, they were the children of Ye Wushang, the number one King Realm cultivator in Tianluo Daozhou. That alone drew attention wherever they went.

Ye Tianhuang had already come of age. He returned to the Ye Clan for his baptism, emerging with even greater momentum.

Unable to wait for Ye Wushang’s emergence, he left again—slightly disappointed.

His talent now hovered between top-tier prodigy and peerless genius.

But Ye Wushang had glimpsed his destiny through the River of Fate—Ye Tianhuang’s future was far more than that.

Born with the Supreme Bone, he was destined for greatness. At the very least, he would become a peerless genius.

Now, Ye Tianhuang’s name was known throughout the Canglan Domain.

As the Great Xia Dynasty’s Crown Prince, his reputation echoed far and wide. He had led elite squads deep into enemy territory, securing key victories.

He had once stood alone with a sword, leading a group of frail veterans to hold off 300,000 foreign troops for three days and nights until reinforcements arrived.

Such feats made his status in the military rival that of Xia Zixuan.

Ye Xinyu, Ye Xinyue, and Ye Tianyuan had all come of age and completed their baptisms.

Only Ye Xinqing, the daughter whose fate Ye Wushang had sealed, remained unremarkable for now.

But everyone knew: the day she underwent her baptism would be the day she soared.

Now fourteen, she had grown into a graceful young girl. She sat atop a high stone, gazing toward the rear mountain, her heart filled with longing.

She was the most dependent on Ye Wushang.

Since his seclusion, her smile had faded. Yue Rushuang and the others could only sigh helplessly.

The entire clan doted on her endlessly.

They tried everything to cheer her up, but nothing worked.

“I wonder when Daddy will come out. My baptism is coming soon. I really hope he’ll be there with me…”

She had watched her siblings undergo their baptisms, each one gritting their teeth, enduring the pain.

That memory was etched deep in her heart.

She knew the baptism was agonizing.

But every child of the Ye Clan had to face it. She was no exception.

So she hoped Ye Wushang would emerge to comfort her.

Her dependence on him ran deep.

She hugged her long legs, resting her chin on her knees, gazing into the distance. Her cherry lips pouted slightly, glowing in the sunset’s light—so beautiful it made one lose focus.

Her face still held a trace of baby fat, soft and round irresistibly pinchable.

After a moment of longing, Ye Xinqing shook her head.

I can’t be selfish. None of my siblings had Father at their baptisms. How can I expect more?

Xinqing can do this. It’s just a baptism. If they can endure it, so can I!

She clenched her tiny pink fists, cheering herself on.

Just as she stood to prepare for the coming ceremony, a gust of wind blew past.

She lost her balance and tumbled forward about to fall.

She hadn’t begun cultivating yet. While she wouldn’t be seriously hurt, the pain would be real.

She cried out, eyes squeezed shut, bracing for impact.

But just before she hit the ground, a strong arm wrapped around her waist.

Before she could react, a familiar yet distant scent filled her nose.

She looked up in surprise and saw a pair of loving eyes gazing down at her.

Without hesitation, she threw her arms around Ye Wushang.

Ye Xinqing hadn’t expected him to appear. Overjoyed, she clung to him tightly.

“Silly girl. So careless. If you’d fallen, you’d be sore for days!”

She rubbed her head against his chest, completely unashamed, full of affection.

“Daddy, I missed you so much!”

“I missed you too. That’s why I came to see my precious daughter the moment I emerged.”

Ye Wushang pinched her cheek and carried her back toward the clan.

Ye Xinqing’s gloomy face lit up with joy. Her laughter echoed throughout the Ye Clan.

“Get down already! You’re too old to be clinging to your father like that!”

Yue Rushuang’s teasing voice rang out, making Ye Xinqing pout.

“Come now, it’s been so long. Missing her father is only natural. Don’t scold her.”

Ye Wushang looked at his daughter with doting eyes.

Ye Xinqing beamed again, sticking her tongue out at Yue Rushuang earning a playful glare in return.

She giggled and turned away.

As his wives and children gathered, Ye Wushang embraced each one—sons and daughters alike.

Even his grown sons received firm hugs.

The Ye Clan was filled with warmth and harmony.

Even his grown sons received firm embraces.

For a moment, the entire Ye Clan was bathed in harmony.

Ye Wushang swept his gaze across the crowd, noting that everyone had made remarkable progress.

Yue Rushuang had reached the peak of the King Realm. Sikong Mingyue had entered the King Realm as well.

Su Xiaoxiao was even more terrifying already at the Eighth Heaven of the Emperor Realm.

Mo Sijun and Zhao Qingge had reached the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm. Their auras were refined and powerful, clearly on the verge of breakthrough.

Among the children, Ye Zilan remained unmatched. His peerless talent propelled him forward at lightning speed.

He had reached the Ninth Heaven of the Purple Mansion Realm on track to enter the Manifestation Realm within a year.

Ye Zhixin wasn’t far behind First Heaven of the Purple Mansion Realm. At her age, that was beyond 99% of her peers in Tianluo Daozhou.

Ye Zhiran and Ye Zifeng hadn’t returned, but had sent messages.

Ye Zhiran had reached the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, preparing to break into the Purple Mansion Realm.

Ye Zifeng had recently broken through to the Second Heaven of the Purple Mansion Realm surpassing the eldest sibling.

All the children had made remarkable progress. Among their peers, they were unmatched.

Especially in combat they were considered invincible within their realms.

With the Ye Clan’s vast resources, their growth was astonishing.

“Dear, did you break through to the Yin-Yang Realm?” Yue Rushuang asked, surprised that she couldn’t sense Ye Wushang’s aura.

As a peak King Realm cultivator, her combat power was formidable. She was a top-tier prodigy with monstrous talent.

Her sword intent had reached the peak of the sixth layer just one step from the seventh.

She could easily escape most Emperor-tier threats.

Her power was terrifying among her peers.

Yet now, she couldn’t sense Ye Wushang’s aura at all.

Su Xiaoxiao, at the peak of the Ninth Heaven Emperor Realm, had awakened her fifth tail. Her combat power rivaled early Deification-level cultivators.

Even she couldn’t sense Ye Wushang’s aura.

Everyone turned to him, curious.

Ye Wushang didn’t hide anything from his family.

He smiled proudly. “That’s right. I’ve reached the Sixth Heaven of the Yin-Yang Realm. As for my combat power… I’m not sure. But it should be decent.”

Even though they were prepared, everyone gasped.

Before his seclusion, Ye Wushang had only been at the Eighth Heaven of the King Realm.

In five years, he had reached the Sixth Heaven of the Emperor Realm. That was terrifying.

Even Su Xiaoxiao knew her own breakthrough had relied on awakening her fifth tail and inheriting ancestral power through a time-space infusion.

If she had cultivated alone, she might have barely reached the Emperor Realm.

Ye Wushang’s talent and strength were beyond comprehension.

Even he was amazed by the sheer accumulation of power.

Once he grasped the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Gate, his cultivation surged uncontrollably.

His breakthroughs came in rapid succession, nearly reaching the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Only by forcefully suppressing his growth had he stopped at the Sixth Heaven.

Even so, he spent years consolidating his realm and refining his power.

He had also exhausted all his fortune points, elevating his imperial-grade techniques to the peak of the eighth layer unable to advance further.

As for his combat power, even he didn’t know his true limits.

He glanced at his attributes and couldn’t help but marvel.

Even Ye Wushang couldn’t help but feel satisfied.

I wonder just how far my combat power has reached now.

That evening, a grand family banquet was held.

After the children had dispersed, Ye Wushang, unable to hold back, set up a restriction barrier on the spot and pulled his blushing wives into a moment of intimate celebration.

The sudden boldness left the women speechless, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

But in the warmth of the night, laughter and affection filled the air, and the Ye Clan basked in the joy of reunion and power reborn.
