Volume 3, Chapter 128 The Immortal King Surrenders.
In the sea of stars in front of him, the old man sat there, like an old man fishing in the sea of stars, calm and composed, still holding the fishing rod in his hand that could not be simpler.
However, at this time, there was an additional silk thread emitting a milky white halo on the top of the fishing rod, which could be seen at a glance as being condensed from spiritual energy.
At the other end of the fishing line, the Immortal King Night Dragon was bound there tightly, unable to move, and his golden armor was entangled by the fishing line, breaking into pieces.
Sensing Ye Tingmu's arrival, the old man opened his eyes, still with a kind and gentle smile.
"My friend, we meet again."
Ye Tingmu withdrew his gaze from Ye Youlong, and at the same time put away the sword in his hand. He tidied up his messy armor slightly and bowed to the old man in front of him.
"Hello, senior."
"Get up, there's no need for so much formality between you and me."
"Thank you, senior."
Ye Tingmu stood up and looked again at Yeyoulong who was still trying to struggle to break free from control.
A hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
"Senior, if you act rashly, will it bring unnecessary trouble?"
The old man held his long beard with his hand.
"Trouble, haha, I am alone, why should I be afraid of trouble."
Seeing that his struggle was futile, Ye Youlong's eyes became more vicious.
"Ye Tingmu, you are really good at this. I didn't expect that you would actually do something on the three avenues."
Ye Tingmu didn't say anything, because this was also unexpected for him.
Seeing that Ye Tingmu ignored him, Ye Youlong turned his gaze to the old man again.
"And you, who are you? Do you know that I am the Immortal King and the spokesperson of the heavens? If you touch me today, the heavens will not let you go."
The Immortal King, who has always been calm and has everything under his control, has begun to panic at this moment.
The sudden change caught him off guard and completely disrupted his plans.
Things were no longer under his control at this moment. He panicked. At this moment, he could only pin his hopes on the heavens.
That's why he moved out the mountain of Zhutian, hoping to use it to intimidate the old man who appeared from nowhere in front of him, an old man who was as powerful as the heavens to him.
He also wanted to know who this person was and why there was such an existence in this universe besides the heavens.
When the old man heard Ye Youlong's words, his originally calm eyebrows sank slightly, and he looked intimidating without being angry. Then he shook his head and sighed.
"I never expected that my descendants would become puppets of the heavens, Ye Youlong, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Ye family? And why the sword in your hand is called Zhatian, have you forgotten it too?"
Upon hearing this, Yeyoulong's expression changed, and he looked at the old man with a hint of uncertainty, a hint of misunderstanding, and a lot of shock.
Mentioning the Ye family's ancestral precepts made him feel confused.
He naturally knew the Ye family's ancestral precepts, and in the present eternity, apart from his deceased uncle Ye Feng, he was the only one who knew the Ye family's ancestral precepts.
Long, long ago, their ancestors had sealed the ancestral teachings, and only successive generations of successors were qualified to know them.
Why does the old man in front of me know this?
The origin of the name of the Sword of Covering the Sky is also inevitably related to the ancestral precepts of the Ye family, and the old man in front of him actually knows all this, who could he be?
A terrible thought came into his mind.
"Who...are you?" he asked, his voice trembling at this moment.
Upon hearing this, the old man did not rush to answer, but waved his other hand in the direction of the Night Dragon.
The Sword of Covering the Sky seemed to have been summoned by something, and it broke away from Night Dragon's control and flew towards the old man.
Finally, it came to the old man and stood in mid-air.
The old man stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, looked at the sky in front of him, and said softly: "Old friend, long time no see."
The sword of the Heaven-Covering Sword began to vibrate slightly, emitting bursts of pleasant sword sounds, as if it was responding to the old man in this way.
At this moment, no matter how stupid Ye Youlong was, he guessed who the person in front of him was.
Since the Ye family established the Immortal Holy Clan in the Eternal Immortal Realm, a total of six immortals have been born and four generations of Immortal Kings have appeared.
He is the fourth generation. The third generation died while serving the heavens, and the same was true for the second generation. Their remains were all enshrined in the Ye family's ancestral land. Only the first generation's whereabouts are unknown.
It is recorded in the family tree that the first generation of Immortal King was also the founder of the Heavenly Clan. Their ancestors had already wandered the heavens.
He never returned since then, leaving behind only the sword that covered the sky and the descendants of the Fuze Ye family.
These things happened countless years ago, and only a handful of people knew about them. He was one of them, but what he knew was only a small part.
Judging from the ancestral teachings, their ancestors hated the heavens and wanted to destroy them all, so their ancestors broke through the eternal boundary and probably went to look for the heavens, just like Su Changge did at the beginning.
This is also the important reason why the ancestral precepts were later sealed, and the old man in front of them is very likely their ancestor, the first generation of immortal king.
Such thoughts made him look more dazed, and even a little terrified, and he stuttered, "Ancestor of the Ye family, the first generation of immortal king, you are Ye Tian."
When he shouted out the word "Ye Tian", the entire starry sea seemed to shake for a moment.
The old man raised his eyes, glanced at him, and replied calmly: "Fame in the secular world is useless and vain. It's been too long, and I have long forgotten it. Now I am just an old man fishing in the sea of stars."
He did not deny it, which meant he admitted it.
Yeyoulong only felt a buzzing in his head. After a moment of trance, he stopped struggling. The hostility and horror in his eyes instantly dissipated, and were replaced by awe and respect.
In front of Ye Tingmu and the old man, he knelt down in the sea of stars with a plop.
"The 14591st generation grandson of the Ye family, Ye Youlong, greets the ancestors."
"You have forgotten the teachings of your ancestors, so I cannot bear your courtesy."
"My fate is in my own hands. I can control the sky with one hand. The ancestral teachings of the Ye family are something that I dare not forget."
There was a hint of pity in the old man's eyes.
"It's rare that you still remember it?"
"Even if I die, I will never forget my roots. Submission to the gods is not my original wish, but for the sake of the Ye clan, my ancestors and I have no other choice."
The old man continued to stroke his beard, his eyes gazing far beyond the sea of stars.
"Since you have no choice, then I will choose for you. As for the consequences, I will bear them. If there is any infamy, I will bear it. You can stay here and accompany me."
"Ancestor, this..."
"No need to say more, the Ye family prospered because of me, and this matter will end with me."
He rejected Ye Youlong and made a final decision.
Ye Youlong sighed helplessly, but had to compromise. He could only pray to the heavens to take action, otherwise he would never be able to get rid of the ancestor in front of him. This was their ancestor, the first generation of immortal king. According to legend, he was the most powerful person under the heavens.
If the heavens had not intentionally concealed and sealed his myth, even the tip of his iceberg would have been enough to astonish half the starry sky.
