Chapter 398 Ascension

Ye Changyan's mood at this moment was extremely fluctuating. If what was said in the audio was true, the space-time passage to leave the planet called Zhongnantian 26 would be opened again in 226 years. That would mean that at that time, he would have the opportunity to leave the world he had traveled through two years ago.

If this is true, then if I really enter the time and space passage to leave, where will I go? Will I go to Mr. Gongshu's hometown, the high-level planet called Eternal Dawn, or to another time and space? Is it possible for me to return to my original hometown?

Ye Changyan came out from the back mountain, and took Xing Wang with him, heading straight towards the meeting hall. However, he was thinking in his heart how to tell this matter to his senior brothers.

Ye Changyan knew that the matter was of great importance, so when entering the council hall, he asked Xing Wang to guard the door of the hall and not let anyone in. After Ye Changyan entered the council hall, he asked several senior brothers to go to the side hall next to the hall.

Seeing Ye Changyan's serious attitude, Qing Xuanzi and his fellow disciples looked at each other, nodded to each other, and followed Ye Changyan to the side hall. After everyone was seated, they heard Qing Xuanzi speak.

"Junior brother, is everything okay in the back mountain? Since your last instruction, we have strengthened the guarding and patrolling of the back mountain."

"My fellow brothers, I made a new discovery when I was inspecting the back mountain just now. However, this matter is of great importance, so I can only be cautious. I hope you will not be offended."

Qingxuzi and his fellow disciples nodded to Ye Changyan. They were all of this age and had extraordinary concentration. They knew that something might have happened based on Ye Changyan's actions. Instead of blaming Ye Changyan for his caution, they admired him very much.

"The last time I inspected the back mountain, I discovered that the cultivation achievements left by the master seemed to have reached a higher level than before."

It was because of Ye Changyan's words last time that the guarding of the back mountain within the entire palace became more stringent. Now when they heard Ye Changyan mention this matter again, everyone nodded.

"Just now when I was inspecting the back mountain, I found that the cultivation results left by the master have completed the transformation of realm. According to my inspection, in more than 20 years, the master's bones may have a chance to ascend to heaven."

As soon as Ye Changyan finished speaking, the entire side hall fell silent. Even for the experienced Taoists with extraordinary concentration, they felt as if a huge rock had been thrown into their hearts by Ye Changyan's words. Their originally calm states of mind were suddenly filled with waves that could not be calmed for a long time.

On the way here from the back mountain, Ye Changyan had been struggling over whether or not to explain this matter to his fellow brothers. He thought about how they had guarded the secrets about Mr. Ye over the years, and how in the letter Mr. Ye left for him, he also hoped to establish contact with his family and friends on the planet Eternal Dawn. Mr. Ye hoped to return to his hometown until his death.

In the end, Ye Changyan planned to change the way he put it and tell his senior brothers about this matter, which could be regarded as an explanation to his senior brothers who had guarded the secret for so many years. Although Ye Changyan still didn't know where the space-time channel to leave this world would lead to after it was opened in more than 20 years, he hoped to send Mr. Gongshu back to his hometown.

With the current level of cultivation of Qingxuzi and his fellow disciples, they have a relatively clear concept of ascension. Since the founding of Yujing Palace, there have been many talented practitioners among the ancestors. Although they were all said to have ascended to heaven in the end, the brothers and sisters all knew that it was more of a symbolic meaning for the soul and spirit.

In the past hundred years, the most talented person in the entire Yujing Palace sect is Gongshu Wuji. In fact, Gongshu Wuji's influence on the secular world and his status in the palace are second only to the founder of Yujing Palace.

When Gongshu Wuji passed away, although it was not widely announced to the outside world, the rumor in the palace was that the old ancestor had ascended to heaven. According to what Ye Changyan said just now, it seemed that the corpse of Gongshu Wuji, who had passed away for many years, was still practicing, and that his corpse would have another opportunity to ascend to heaven. This shocked Qingxuzi and his fellow disciples, as it completely overturned their existing understanding of practice.

"Junior brother, are you saying that the remains of my uncle are still cultivating, and will have a chance to ascend to heaven in more than 20 years?"

The one who asked the question was Qing Yunzi, who was in charge of the Sword Tomb. Most of the ancestors and elders with high cultivation in Yujing Palace were buried in the Sword Tomb together with the swords they wore during their lifetime. Gongshu Wuji, as an ancestor with an extraordinary status in the Yujing Palace sect, was naturally also buried in the Sword Tomb.

Qing Yunzi can be said to have been guarding his uncle's tomb for decades. Now, he heard from Ye Changyan that even though his uncle's body had decayed, his bones were still practicing. It was really hard for him to calm down.

Hearing Qing Yunzi's question, Qing Xuzi and his fellow disciples all looked towards Ye Changyan, only to see that Ye Changyan had a firm expression and nodded firmly.

"Brother Qingyun, from what I just saw of the cultivation results left by the master, I am afraid that this is indeed the case. I also know that this may sound a little too shocking. I also know that this matter is of great importance and must not leak out even a little bit. Therefore, I need to report the situation to all the brothers first. I suggest that the guards in the back mountain be adjusted as soon as possible. It is best to replace them all with core disciples in the palace. Except for me, Xingwang, and all the brothers, all other disciples are prohibited from entering."

Although Qingxuzi and his fellow disciples looked solemn, they all nodded slowly in agreement, and then listened to what Ye Changyan continued to say.

"Also, I originally planned to go down the mountain with my parents and teacher after inspecting the back mountain, but now I plan to go to the sword tomb, simply pay homage to the master, and tell him my findings."

Qingxuzi and his fellow disciples all nodded, and Qingxuzi turned around and said to Qingyunzi.

"Junior Brother Qingyun, then I'll trouble you to take Junior Brother Ye with you. We will discuss again how to adjust the guards of the back mountain."

Afterwards, Ye Changyan followed Qing Yunzi towards the sword tomb. The sword tomb has always been a forbidden area for the sect. Later, after Gongshu Wuzhi entered Yujing Palace, the back mountain of Yujing Palace was also designated as a forbidden area.

Although Ye Changyan followed Qing Yunzi into the sword tomb easily, the guards at the sword tomb were much stricter than those at the back mountain. Except for the two man-guarded passes in the front, the three passes behind were all equipped with numerous mechanisms, and only the palace master and the elders knew how to close these mechanisms. As for the last pass, only the elders in charge of the sword tomb and the palace master knew how to close the mechanism.
