Heavenly Star Chapter 77: The So-Called Method of Anointing One's Head with the Purest Powers Part 1

Tian Long's weather remained fair as the carriage of Ye Wuchen leisurely returned to the house of Ye, upon entering the door, the new arrivals were watched attentively by more than ten pairs of eyes at the same time. This included the guard who normally gazed fixedly and even the hidden guard, all of them used their peripheral vision to observe him, their gazes extremely bewildered, as if this were their first time meeting the young master.

“... Did it really spread that fast!? Don't tell me that the news moves faster than me?” Ye Wuchen muttered quietly to himself.

The rumors regarding the young master of Ye has been spreading throughout the Tian Long City at a surprising speed… against Lin Xiao in a martial skills competition and two literary skills competition, all resulting to victory! Included among these is the victory over the Hua family's master through Wuchen's wisdom, and craftily winning over the president of the Imperial Institute with a god-like, astonishing painting Twin Lotus Flower on One Stalk as well as an impromptu tune of A Dream Remembering the Past causing thousands of people to spill their tears. Moreover, he is also a descendant of the God of Sword, and even the Emperor respected him as an incomparable genius, bestowing him with the position of Third Rank Marquis on the spot and then betrothing him to Princess Fei Huang… these surprising rumors had arrived in succession. If an ordinary person were to speak of it, it would only be treated as complete nonsense, but the ones to spread these matters… It can be said that if they were to stamp their feet, they could cause a part of the earth to shake; if they were the ones to make such claims, how could other people not believe them?

“Young master, master has instructed us to inform you to please immediately proceed to the meeting hall once you have arrived.” Seeing him back, the old servant promptly greeted him in welcome.

“Oh, got it.” Ye Wuchen nodded, then headed towards the direction of the meeting hall. The many pairs of eyes followed him along with his every move. In the past, although they were servants of Ye family, they slightly despised and loathed this young master who was once an extremely weak person, but now roams aimlessly after returning home and relied on his power to bully other young masters. This time though, their gazes only held shock and disbelief.

Inside the bright and spacious meeting hall, the entire Ye family was present, including Ye Wuyun with smiles on his face. Once Ye Wuchen entered, Ye Nu who had been laughing very loudly stopped short, then said in a low voice, “Chen-er, why don't you come in, then answer us truthfully!”

Ye Wuchen sat on the chair beside Wang Wenshu, placing Ning Xue on his lap, his right hand inserted into her small mouth, fiddling with her tongue when he said innocently, “I didn't cause any shame to Ye family… What do you hold me accountable for?”

His obvious favor and excessive actions towards Ning Xue was not surprising to Ye family anymore; they were already used to it. Wang Wenshu said smiling, “Dad, we just ask Chen-er directly, don't just scare him.”

Ye Nu laughed out loud upon hearing this, while still laughing he said, “This young fellow had tricked the entire Lin family enough to choke them. It doesn't surprise me, though I'm pretty satisfied. I have confronted them for so many years, yet never have I felt this kind of satisfaction. Hahahaha… But!”

Ye Nu switched his facial expression, furrowing his brows and asked, “Chen-er, please tell us the truth, where did your martial skills and talents come from? Other people would have thought that you had faked your illness for sixteen years, then amazed the world with a single brilliant feat. However, the Ye family won't deny that a year ago you were still a person without even the strength to truss a chicken, and your talent had been below that of a ten year old kid. Then you mentioned that you just regained your consciousness a month ago, don't tell me that you learned all those things within a month? I don't believe it, even if the God of Sword had magical abilities, it would still be impossible to train you up to this level!! If it weren't for our reconciliation prior to that, I would even doubt that you were my son Chen-er!”

Ye Wei nodded accordingly, fixing his gaze at Ye Wuchen and asked, “Not just a month, even a year would still be very unimaginable. Aside from these, are there any other secrets that we ought to know?”

Ye Wuchen wanted to say something, but then hesitated, his face troubled.

Judging by Ye Wuchen's awkward expression, Wang Wenshu promptly rebuked Ye Wei, “Look at you, father and son, but still doubting Chen-er. This only affirms that Chen-er is a heaven blessed genius, only needing a month's time and he can already…”

“Heaven blessed geniuses also have their limitations,” Ye Nu waved his hand interrupting Wang Wenshu; “Originally, Lin Xiao of Lin family was publicly known as a heaven blessed genius himself. Does it mean that his twenty years of achievements can't be compared with Chen-er's one month? That's absolutely impossible!”

“Actually, your guess is right.” Ye Wuchen finally opened his mouth, “Teacher employed a very peculiar method. However, this method is universally shocking, the old man had requested of me not to tell others, but… Hmm, telling my family should not cause any trouble.”

“Okay!” Ye Nu nodded and said firmly, “Tell us then, or else my heart will not be at ease.”

“Actually, teacher used a method called 'Anointing One's Head with the Purest Powers, a legendary ability to directly pass a portion of his cultivation onto me; hence, here I am today.” Ye Wuchen shamelessly told them about a power he had seen before in some martial arts novel, his forefinger still lightly stirring inside Ning Xue's mouth, feeling her subconsciously sucking.

“Anointing One's Head with Purest Powers!?” totally beyond expectations of Ye Wuchen, Ye Nu and Ye Wei showed no doubt, but actually exclaimed at the name.

Could this kind of thing really exist in this world?

“Have you heard of it before?” Ye Wuchen asked astounded.

“Haven't heard of anointing one's head with the purest powers, but instead I've heard of another one called Anointing One's Head with the Power of the Heaven and Earth. Even though these two have different names, they are quite similar. Its purposes are very close to each other… So that's the way it is, I somehow understand.” said Ye Wei upon realization, from the words “anointing the head”, he already had an idea.

“Anointing One's Head with the Power of the Heaven and Earth, is a magical power used by the clans of the Southern Empire and the Northern Empire. This power enabled the clan leaders of the Southern Empire and the Northern Empire to instill their entire cultivation and powers into their descendants, before they finally die without any powers remaining. This is one of the reasons why the clans the Southern Empire and the Northern Empire flourished for a very long time with no one daring to provoke them.

Indeed it's real… Ye Wuchen thought.

“Would they have also suffered some form of damage, else, the clans of the Southern Empire and the Northern Empire would really become stronger and stronger without any limitations?” Ye Wuchen asked.

“That's right, there were indeed damages, but the magnitude of the damage was not known to us. Yet, in every generation of the clans of the Southern Empire and the Northern Empire, they had matchless powers, of this there is no doubt.”

“Matchless powers? Their powers are… God-level?” Ye Wuchen's brows furrowed, “But among the four God-level masters of the Heavenly Star Continent, there was no mention of them.”
