In the ancestral mausoleum, there seemed to be an eminent monk reciting scriptures. Every word was like the morning bell of an ancient tomb.
A young man listened to the recitation in a daze, oblivious to the passage of time.
Seven days had passed, and Yao Yue had gained a lot in the ancestral mausoleum.
As the saying goes, listening to the wise man's words is better than studying for ten years.
What Yao Xiong talked about was his life experience, and what he talked about was his comprehension of life. This allowed Yao Yue to understand a lot about the Great Dao of life, the way to deal with people, and the direction of cultivation!
The many obstacles and inner demons in his heart were all gone, and his state of mind improved greatly in an instant.
At the Saint realm, the cultivation of the mind was stronger than the cultivation of the body. When one's state of mind improved, one's comprehension deepened, and one's strength increased, one's cultivation level would naturally increase.
At this moment, he realized that his Great Uncle's strength was unfathomable.
"Alright, we have talked for so many days. Let's stop here. If there is anything you do not understand in the future, feel free to look for me here. Great Uncle is old and no longer has any ambitions. I can only rely on you youngsters to break through!" Yao Hsiung-lai said.
Yao Yue bowed to Yao Hsiung-lai and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Great Uncle. Yue Er will remember it forever."
"I don't need you to remember me. As long as you have our Yao family in your heart, that is enough!" Yao Hsiung-lai waved his hand.
"Yes, Great Uncle!" Yao Yue replied seriously.
"Before you go out, come with me. It's time to pass on the clan's unique skill to you!" Yao Xionglai said, then left the coffin he was sitting in and walked in the direction of the clan's mausoleum.
Yao Yue followed closely behind. Soon, they reached a corner. From afar, he saw something carved on the wall.
"The secret arts of our Yao family's Sage Elders are carved here. You can learn whichever art you like.
Remember, don't practice too much, don't bite off more than you can chew! "Yao Hsiung-lai pointed at the cliff and said.
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and something on the wall seemed to dissipate, revealing the true appearance of the wall!
When Yao Yue looked again, her eyes were filled with shock!
The walls were indeed engraved with densely packed words, as well as drawings of human bodies. They seemed to be performing some kind of consummate skill!
The strangest thing was that Yao Yue saw some portraits with wings, just like how he looked when he had phoenix wings!
"This is our Yao family's ancestor. His bloodline power is the strongest, and he can already grow phoenix wings. His speed is much faster than the Wind Realm's origin energy. Moreover, he was once a god!
It's a pity that our ancestor didn't manage to carve out a new territory on the Earthly Star and died in his hometown! "Yao Hsiung-lai pointed at the man with the phoenix wings and said with reverence.
Yao Yue couldn't help but bow to the portrait!
"Alright, you can take a look at it yourself!
Once you're done, you can leave! "Yao Hsiung-lai said, then returned to the coffin and sat down cross-legged.
Yao Yue began to look at the secret arts on the wall!
"Phoenix Twelve Spear Techniques, only the descendants of our Fire Realm Origin Body can practice. The first spear …"
"Phoenix Claw, only the descendants of our Fire Realm Origin Body can practice. The claw is shaped like a phoenix, sharp and powerful …"
"Dragon Slaying Saber Art, only the Sage Realm can practice …"
… …
Yao Yue looked at the Saint Skills recorded here and was extremely envious. What he lacked the most now was a complete and powerful offensive Battle Skill!
Fist, palm, leg, claw, saber, sword, spear … There were all kinds of different battle techniques, and each of them was extremely powerful!
After looking through the records, Yao Yue finally found two battle techniques that caught his eye!
One of them was called "Burning Phoenix Halberd Art", the only high-grade Saint Skill here, the Fire Realm Origin Halberd Art. It had seven styles, and each style could unleash the power of a Fengfen. The other one was called "Earth Shattering Sword", a middle-grade Saint Skill, the Earth Realm Origin Sword Art. There were only three styles, but each of them was enough to destroy the heavens and earth!
Yao Yue didn't have many halberd arts. Now that he had obtained the Burning Phoenix Halberd Art, he would be like a tiger that had grown wings. As for the Earth Shattering Sword, it would allow him to unleash the power of the Dao of Slaughter to the extreme!
With these two Saint Skills, he would be able to practice them in the Sage Realm!
After memorizing the two Saint Skills, Yao Yue bowed to Yao Hsiung-lai and all the coffins before leaving silently!
Before Yao Yue returned to his courtyard, he was summoned by his grandfather.
"Yue Er, you must have gained a lot from your trip to the clan's mausoleum!" Yao Rongxia smiled at Yao Yue.
"Yes, I was fortunate enough to be able to listen to Great Granduncle's teachings. It's Yue Er's fortune!" Yao Yue replied.
"Yes, that's true. Great Granduncle isn't someone that just anyone would be interested in. The fact that he took the initiative to call you over means that he wants to nurture you. Don't let him down!" Yao Rongxia said.
"Yue Er understands!" Yao Yue replied. After a pause, he asked, "Grandpa didn't call me over just for this, right?"
"Yes, there is something else I need to tell you!"
Yao Rongxia replied before returning to the main topic, "Now that the Dai Clan's father and son have been chased away, Stone Courtyard is empty. The clan doesn't plan to invite Honored Master Yuan back. The Elder Council has decided that Stone Courtyard will be managed by you from now on. You will be the courtyard master!"
Yao Rongxia's words left no room for negotiation. He had already decided that Yao Yue would be the courtyard master!
Yao Yue did not refuse, "Yes, Grandpa. I will manage Stone Courtyard well!"
Yao Rongxia smiled in satisfaction, "Good. I believe you have the ability to do so!"
Yao Rongxia then handed over the courtyard's token to Yao Yue and said some words of encouragement to Yao Yue.
Yao Yue said a few words of acknowledgment before leaving.
He returned to his own courtyard, paid his respects to his mother, and went to Stone Courtyard.
Apart from Feng Xiaohua, Xiao Liuzi, and Zhao Tianyun were also with him.
"How did it go?" Yao Yue asked Xiao Liuzi and Zhao Tianyun.
"Don't worry, Boss. Since we are back, we naturally took care of them!" Xiao Liuzi replied proudly.
"That's good. Raising a tiger will only invite calamity, but we can't let the tiger return to the mountain. Grandpa and the others are still too kind!" Yao Yue replied.
Before Yao Yue had gone to the clan's mausoleum, he had already ordered Xiao Liuzi and Zhao Tianyun to hunt down the Dai Clan's father and son. He could not allow them to leave the Yao clan's territory alive!
Others might not understand the Dai Clan's father and son's wild ambitions, but Yao Yue could see it clearly. How could he let such people go?
With Yao Yue's growth, he already possessed the ruthlessness of a formidable character.
"By the way, Boss, I also heard that the Dai Clan's father and son are related to the Hundred Races Alliance!
They sold information about the Yao clan to the Hundred Races Alliance!
As a result, many of the Yao clan's members who went out over the years were captured and killed!
Last time, when we went to the Sea of Fire, we encountered the Hundred Races Alliance because of them! "Xiao Liuzi said.
"What?!"
Yao Yue's expression changed as he shouted in shock. He then said, "Tell me everything you know!"
He did not expect the Hundred Races Alliance to be so pervasive. They had spies in the Yao clan for so many years, but no one had discovered it!
It seemed that the Hundred Races Alliance was after something big!
Thus, Xiao Liuzi told Yao Yue everything he had gotten from the Dai Clan's father and son.
Yao Yue's expression changed several times after hearing the story.
"So what happened to me back then was related to the Dai Clan's father and son. They were the ones who leaked information to the Hundred Races Alliance!
I didn't kill them unjustly! "Yao Yue said with a look of indignation.
He did not expect that he would accidentally find out about what happened to him when he was young!
Previously, his mother had told him about his disappearance. His mother had said that the clansmen had secretly escorted him out of Fire Gou. He did not know how the Hundred Races Alliance found out about it.
Now, the truth had finally come to light!
Yao Yue instructed Xiao Liuzi and Zhao Tianyun, "Xiao Liuzi, Yuntian, go to the place Dai Lisheng mentioned and capture the Hundred Races Alliance members. They might not know what happened to the Dai Clan's father and son. After you capture them, don't kill them. I want to know what they want from the Yao family!"
"Yes, Boss!" Xiao Liuzi and Zhao Tianyun replied in unison.
Just as they were about to leave, Yao Yue handed his holy badge to them so that they would not be stopped by the Yao family!
"Sister Xiaohua, tell my mother what you just heard. It's time for her to let go of the knot in her heart!" Yao Yue said to Feng Xiaohua who was beside him.
"Yes, Young Master!" Feng Xiaohua nodded and went back inside.
'Hundred Races Alliance, one day, I, Yao Yue, will uproot you!' Yao Yue swore in his heart.
If it were not for the Hundred Races Alliance, he would not have been separated from his parents for so many years. He had to take revenge!
Yao Yue returned to the stone courtyard with a heavy heart.
"Haha, kid, you're finally here. I thought you were going to stay in the ancestral mausoleum for a year or so!" Yao Jun's voice rang out.
Yao Yue then saw Yao Jun walking out of the stone courtyard.
"Fifth Uncle, why are you still here?" Yao Yue asked in astonishment.
"What? Are you trying to chase Fifth Uncle away now that you're the courtyard master?" Yao Jun teased.
"Fifth Uncle, you must be joking. This place is open to you at any time," Yao Yue replied.
"That's more like it!"
Yao Jun answered in satisfaction. He then said, "I thought you wouldn't come out so soon, so the patriarch asked me to take care of this place on your behalf. Now that you're here, Fifth Uncle is relieved!"
Yao Yue came to a realization. He then said, "Fifth Uncle, let's talk inside. What's the situation in the stone courtyard?"
"The Dai Clan's father and son left with a few trusted aides. Only a few of his disciples are left. I sent away most of them, so there aren't many left. However, they should be quite loyal to the Yao family. The rest is up to you!" Yao Jun summarized the situation.
"That's good. Leave the rest to me. I promise to give everyone a brand new stone courtyard!" Yao Yue said seriously.
"Haha, I believe you can do it!
When the time comes, remember to get Fifth Uncle a saint warship to play with! "Yao Jun laughed.
