“Main…branch?” Yi Wentian was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile, slowly stood up, and raised his hand in a gesture of respect.
"Greetings, Immortal! My family consists of only three branches. May I ask where you come from?"
“Three… what nonsense,” Han Li muttered, then said, “It’s not much, it’s your problem!”
The next moment, another young man appeared and spoke calmly, "Yi He, is there a cenotaph?"
"What do you mean by 'easy'?" The old woman and the one-eyed man looked at each other, their three eyes filled with confusion.
"You mean... the Primordial Ancestor?" A strange light flashed in Yi Wentian's eyes. "May I ask who this immortal is...?"
“I had no idea he still had any bloodline left,” Qu Jianlei touched his forehead. “How did this happen? It’s all scattered and disorganized?”
"Immortal, save me!" The one-eyed giant was the quickest to react, immediately kneeling down and kowtowing repeatedly.
In the world of cultivation, kowtowing is already the highest form of respect. Prostrating oneself is considered an evil ritual for those seeking to become gods through incense offerings, and it is not considered a proper ceremony.
However, it is not shameful at all for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to kowtow to a Nascent Soul cultivator, especially since this is a True Immortal who has interacted with the Primordial Ancestor.
Qu Jianlei's mind raced, and he already knew the inside story. He was both amused and exasperated. "Just a few Golden Core cultivators..."
"Immortal, you must be careful," Yi Wentian said, bowing slightly. As a Golden Core cultivator, kowtowing was a bit much for him.
"Behind the Wang family, there are also true immortal relatives by marriage."
"Tsk..." Qu Jianlei sighed, flipped his wrist, and produced a stone full of holes. "Fellow Daoist Yi He, wake up!"
"Dao, Dao, Dao... Fellow Daoist?" The three members of the Yi family were completely petrified.
Yi He must be our ancestor, I never imagined he would still be alive!
What shocked the three even more was that this person actually addressed the Ancestor as "fellow Daoist," so it turned out... he wasn't a descendant of the Ancestor.
A surge of spiritual energy emanated from the charred remains, "This place... has actually returned to the Remnant Realm?"
“This is your junior,” Qu Jianlei said calmly. “Settle him in and see how to arrange things in the future.”
"I still have descendants... alive?" Yi He was also a little confused. "I wonder which Daoist partner left them behind?"
He was a rogue cultivator who briefly established a family and career, but failed. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he slaughtered all his enemies.
And then... well, men like him share the same hobbies as Qingkong, and occasionally some of his philandering offspring are left behind.
However, he had no intention of forming a family; he just wanted to settle down. Since there was no formal marriage to carry on the family line, they were all descendants.
“Grandmother Yuanzu… Yi Kongshi,” Yi Wentian replied respectfully.
"The Kong family..." Yi He pondered for a moment before speaking, "The sealing formation had too much of an impact, I can't remember clearly, but is it Nuan Nuan?"
"On the day of the Grandmother Yuanzu's Golden Elixir Ceremony, we encountered the Yuanzu," Yi Wentian could only hint tactfully.
"Oh, that unruly woman," Yi He finally remembered, but his assessment was inevitably a bit casual.
Upon hearing this, the three younger members of the Yi family also turned pale. So, in your heart... is this their status?
But the next moment, Yi He sighed softly, "Back then, I was full of vigor and ambition, and I really... owed her a lot!"
The room was silent; no one spoke.
After a while, Yi Hecai spoke again, "Since they are my and her descendants, I should protect them."
Just as the three members of the Yi family were beginning to feel a surge of joy, the Ancestor spoke again, "Unfortunately, I am already a remnant soul."
The three men's hearts sank again. They had thought their ancestral immortal had returned, but they never expected that he was just a remnant soul.
Yi He didn't care about the other person's reaction. How could someone with only blood ties have much feeling about him? "Tell me what happened after I left."
There's not much to say. The Kong family was just barely making it to the next level; they never even attempted to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
However, she was indeed somewhat unreasonable, or rather, cunning, and managed to extract a lot of benefits from Yi He.
Just then, Yi He was about to do a "huge deal," so he gave her everything he didn't need.
Then he left and never returned, but the Yi family has survived to this day thanks to the support of Master Kong and the resources he left behind.
Although no more Nascent Soul cultivators have appeared, there are still two Golden Core cultivators, so it's not exactly a complete decline.
"Mrs. Kong..." Jiao Tan jumped up and down twice, then sighed softly, "From then on, I was always by her side. Where will she be buried?"
"He was buried back in the Kong family..." Yi Wentian knelt down directly and kowtowed repeatedly, "This junior is unfilial."
The Kong family is an old-established true immortal family in the world of remnants, and there is no need to say more about the others.
Although Yi He was a rogue cultivator, he was full of vigor and ambition. He happened to meet Master Kong and didn't mind to challenge him.
The Kong family also had true immortals back then, but there's no need to make a big deal out of such a trivial matter, is there?
After Yi He left, the Kong family did not react until Master Kong passed away peacefully.
Later, his son founded the Yi family, but after Master Kong died, the Kong family requested to be buried in their ancestral land.
The two sides had a rather unpleasant argument over this, but they didn't completely break off relations.
Later, when the Yi family encountered some problems, they repeatedly asked the Kong family for help with generous gifts—because of this kinship, communication was relatively convenient.
The Kong family would occasionally seek help from the Yi family when they encountered problems. Although the Yi family was a Golden Core clan, they were not considered close, but their ancestor was ultimately born of the Kong family.
Of course, there will be some disputes between the two sides, after all, the relationship has been going on for thousands of years, and it is impossible for it to be so stable.
However, in any case, the two sides still managed to maintain some semblance of goodwill.
This time, the three branches perished and sought help from the Kong family, but they refused—the fifth branch, which had been close to them, disappeared five hundred years ago.
In short, it was all about the vicissitudes of life. After listening, Yi He sighed and said, "Never mind then."
His relationship with Master Kong was really just so-so. He was gone for thousands of years, and the Kong family did not do particularly badly.
There's no need to bring back the tomb of the Yi Kong family; he didn't want to be buried in the Kong family's cemetery anyway.
Now that the Yi family has a founding ancestor, there's no point in him, the original ancestor, going up to suppress them.
"What happened to Lin Yu and the other cultivators who traveled with me? What became of them?"
Just as he had thought, all his old friends had indeed passed away.
All he has left are memories; he can't even feel much closeness to his descendants.
However, the responsibilities that must be fulfilled still need to be fulfilled. "You said the Golden Core Wang family has True Immortal relatives by marriage?"
“Yes, it’s the Murong family, and further away there’s the Cui family,” Yi Wentian nodded repeatedly, his lips trembling.
My great ancestor, you've finally remembered that we still face the risk of being expelled.
As for whether he would win or lose against the Golden Core Clan, he wasn't worried at all.
Even if the primordial ancestor was a remnant soul, he was still a remnant soul of the nascent soul. Moreover, those two young people, and even that spider, must also be nascent souls, right?
With at least three and a half Nascent Soul cultivators, one could basically dominate a region in the entire world of remnants!
“Murong? That’s clearly a foreign clan; I’ve never heard of them,” Yi He said thoughtfully. “The Cui family, on the other hand, is an old and established family…”
"Alright, tell the Murong family... never mind, let's tell the Kong family first and ask their True Immortal to come over. We only have one chance!"
"Notify the Kong family directly," Yi Wentian's lips twitched slightly. As expected of the ancestor, such vision... tsk tsk...
The problem is, “Ancestor, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come into contact with the true immortals of the Kong family.”
“Just tell them directly, I’m back,” the coke shook twice more, “Come or don’t come, it’s up to you…I’m paying off your debts!”
The Kong family was indeed indifferent to the Yi family, but did they ever help them? They truly did!
The one-eyed man, who hadn't dared to speak at all, couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing this, "Ancestor, that Wang family..."
"Damn it, a few Golden Core cultivators..." Yi He couldn't help but exclaim, "You want me to see them? You're such an unfilial junior!"
"Please forgive me, Ancestor," the one-eyed giant kowtowed repeatedly, unable to stop, "for the lives of tens of thousands of people..."
"Stop, I have my own plans," Yi He sighed helplessly. "You two True Venerables...please excuse my rudeness!"
“True, true, true, true, true, true… True Venerable? Two of you?” The three members of the Yi family froze on the spot.
Nascent Soul True Immortals are already beyond their reach, as for Outer Body Grand Venerables... they have heard of them in legends.
For example, the one-eyed giant, though only at the high stage of Foundation Establishment, is already planning to establish his own branch and spread his influence.
This is certainly due to the scarcity of resources within the clan, and his reluctance to compete with his own clan members, but isn't it also a reflection of his confidence?
When Foundation Establishment encounters Nascent Soul... it's not just about how exhilarating it is, but if you're not scared to death, you're already considered a genius!
The three members of the Yi family simply felt that the two who came with their ancestor were definitely not simple, and would surely be able to keep the situation in check.
But who would have thought that this wasn't just to intimidate, but to actually suppress the entire world of relictment?
The three were stunned for a long while before the old woman suddenly spoke up, "Ancestor, how should we communicate with them? What's the appropriate approach?"
She spoke through gritted teeth, and her body was trembling slightly—the self-control of Foundation Establishment cultivators is indeed somewhat lacking.
However, there is no doubt that she has been looking forward to this moment—or rather, fantasizing about this day—for a long time.
"Sigh," a soft sigh escaped, and the next moment, a small snake landed on the one-eyed giant's neck.
"Yi He, you stay here. I'll go and take a look at what kind of people they are. Have they been living in peace for too long?"
"This...this...another True Immortal?" The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yi family were completely dumbfounded.
Everyone knows that the Great Venerable will always have True Immortals by his side, but... it's really hard to adapt.
There's no way around it; the difference in levels is just too vast, and the difference in strength is even greater—it's simply unimaginable.
However, at this moment, when Yi Wentian looked at the suddenly appearing little snake, he thought of another legend.
The coke shook slightly. "Thank you for your trouble, Elder Jiao."
"I was just itching to do it," Jiao Daoren replied unhurriedly. In fact, he... was itching to do more than just it.
Finally, Yi Wentian asked tremblingly, "Lord Yuanzu, that is... the cave dwelling?"
"This is nothing new," Yi He sighed softly. "Seven or eight out of ten True Venerables possess cave dwellings. In your next life, work hard."
Although the Relic Realm was not small, the true immortals of the Kong family still arrived on the evening of the fourth day.
