At this moment, Xi Yun smiled and spoke again, "Alright, Ye Chen, don’t take offense. Rong ’er is just like this, she means no harm. Now, let’s start the ancestral ceremony again!"
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up as he thought to himself, "Finally, it’s here."
The ancestral ceremony was rather simple. After everyone had finished offering incense and paying their respects in front of the altar, Xi Yun took out a painting and unfurled it in front of Ye Chen!
An extremely powerful Dao Integration spread from the painting, and Ye Chen showed a look of surprise. The painting was a Supreme Treasure, a Primordial Origin Artifact!
The painting depicted a young man with an unclear face, with a bright moon hanging behind him. The faint moonlight streamed out from the painting!
This feeling immediately reminded Ye Chen of Senior Ren.
However, Senior Ren’s moon was pletely different from this man’s moon, seemingly even stronger!
The Blood Night represents Slaughter Dao.
That seemed to be the color of Sky Shattering.
Moreover, the man had one moon, while Ren Feifan had a full nine Blood Moons!
The gap is obvious.
Xi Yun said, "Ye Chen, drop your blood on this painting!"
Ye Chen nodded. This painting seemed to be the Treasure used to test the concentration of Moon God’s bloodline and its affinity with the Xi Family’s bloodline!
A destructive power emerged at Ye Chen’s fingertip, creating a wound. With a wave of his hand, a drop of blood fell onto the painting!
Everyone present widened their eyes, staring at the painting before them.
Even Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
The painting did not change at all!
Even Xi Yun and Xi Zheng looked at the painting with disbelief...
What is going on?
Why is there no reaction from the painting?
Could it be that they were mistaken, and Ye Chen is not a member of the Xi Family?
Ye Chen’s heart also began to race. Could he be exposed here?
If so, the question of whether he could leave the Chenyue Sea alive would be a big one...
Pretending to be royal family, that’s no small crime.
Just then, the moon within the painting suddenly emitted an extremely brilliant moonlight!
Xi Yun and Xi Zheng were first stunned, then burst into laughter, overjoyed beyond pare!
This painting was a treasured heirloom of the Xi Family, with the possible depiction of the Xi Family’s progenitor on it.
The painting could sense the power of the Moon God’s bloodline and its connection with the Xi Family; the brighter the moonlight it emitted, the purer Ye Chen’s Moon God bloodline!
If the one who dripped blood had any connection to the Xi Family bloodline, the face of the man in the painting would gradually bee clear.
Judging by the intensity of the moonlight after Ye Chen dripped his blood, his Moon God bloodline was top-tier, even among the nine royal families!
Thus, Ye Chen was almost certainly an heir to the royal family!
Now, it just depended on whether the face of the man in the painting would bee clear.
Moments later, the blurry face of the man in the painting gradually became clear. Though still a bit hazy, the general features could be discerned, and the man’s appearance was extremely handsome.
Seeing this, Xi Yun and Xi Zheng smiled slightly, as this level of clarity was enough to prove a bloodline connection to the Xi Family.
In other words, Ye Chen was indeed a descendant of the Xi Family!
Xi Zheng looked at Ye Chen, his eyes glowing as if he had found some treasure!
All along, the qualifications of the Xi Family’s younger generation had been a headache for him, as only Xi Rong’er stood out, but that was too few. Moreover, with Xi Rong’er’s straightforward personality, it did not seem suitable for her to shoulder the future of the Xi Family!
And Ye Chen?
In every aspect, he was extremely satisfactory to Xi Zheng!
Xi Zheng whispered to Xi Yun, "Fulfill whatever request Ye Chen has."
Xi Yun nodded, his eyes flashing. He knew his father intended to fully cultivate Ye Chen, treating him as the future successor!
Xi Zheng approached Ye Chen, looked at him kindly, and the more he looked, the more he seemed to like him, even feeling that Ye Chen greatly resembled his younger self.
Xi Zheng smiled and said, "Ye Chen, our Xi Family owes you a debt. Whatever you want, just tell that brat Xi Yun. This old man has many duties to attend to, so I must take my leave first."
Ye Chen bowed and said, "Farewell to the family head."
Xi Zheng turned and laughed heartily, saying, "To celebrate your return to the Xi Family, I’ll send you a gift later."
Xi Rong’er glared at Ye Chen fiercely and said, "Ye Chen, remember this: I will reclaim today’s humiliation a hundredfold in the future!"
Ye Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "As long as it makes you happy."
Ye Chen’s attitude made Xi Rong’er feel like her punch had hit a soft pillow; besides being angry, there was nothing else she could do.
Soon, the Primordial Origin Artifact boat carried everyone away into the distance.
But after the Xi Family people had left, the Void suddenly rippled, and an old man in a moon-white robe, with long eyebrows and a strange ancient face, suddenly appeared before Ye Chen and the others.
When Xi Yun saw this old man, respect appeared in his eyes. Surprisingly, he bowed and saluted the old man, saying, "Xi Yun greets Elder Wu."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s expression changed, and he looked towards the old man, realizing that this man was a member of the Chenyue Sea Elder Council!
Yet, as soon as Ye Chen’s eyes met those of Old Wu, his expression changed dramatically!
Facing Old Wu, Ye Chen only felt as if a massive mountain spanning the heavens and earth stood before him!
An immeasurably deep and heavy mountain!
He couldn’t see through Old Wu’s level of cultivation at all!
Even using the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques was futile!
Old Wu’s power was indeed terrifying!
It seemed the depths of Chenyue Sea were far more formidable than he had imagined!
Old Wu seemed to sense Ye Chen’s attention on him. He glanced around, his gaze falling upon Ye Chen.
In an instant, Ye Chen’s breath nearly stopped!
That plain gaze made Ye Chen feel as if his entire body was being pressed by a hundred billion tons of steel!
Just a single glance was enough to exert such immense pressure on Ye Chen!
His eyes revealed an unmistakable look of shock!
But it wasn’t just Ye Chen who was shocked!
In Old Wu’s calm and posed eyes, there was also a faint hint of great disturbance!
He silently exclaimed, "I can’t see through this kid?"
Since his power reached its current state, such a thing has never happened before!
Even the astonishingly talented and unfathomable Chenyue Dark Child appeared pletely transparent before him!
But Ye Chen?
In his eyes, Ye Chen was just a piece of Chaos, a Chaos that caused even him to feel a twinge of fear!
