Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

Although this aura appeared and disappeared in a flash, Yin Zheng felt momentarily suffocated.

Yin Zheng knew that Ye Fan had gone into seclusion to refine a magical weapon, but what kind of weapon could it be, that just its aura alone was so terrifying?

If it were activated, Yin Zheng feared that he would not be able to withstand even one strike.

Inside the refining room, sweat dripped continuously from Ye Fan’s forehead.

He had indeed successfully refined the God-Beating Whip, and was now in the process of claiming ownership.

Without claiming ownership, Ye Fan could not truly wield such a great saint artifact.

In fact, even if he had claimed ownership, Ye Fan, with his current power, could not fully activate the God-Beating Whip.

A great saint artifact can only be properly used by those at the Saint Realm.

No matter the quantity or quality of a Semi-Saint’s holy power, it is insufficient to activate the God-Beating Whip, even if it is just a low-grade great saint artifact.

However, a great saint artifact is still a great saint artifact, having surpassed the control of the Semi-Saint Realm.

Ye Fan had anticipated this situation early on.

Moreover, this great saint artifact, which Ye Fan had refined, wasn’t meant for his personal use.

Ye Fan may not be able to use the God-Beating Whip, but the Ye Family could!

The Ye family’s fortune wasn’t just for increasing luck.

Luck itself is also a form of special power.

If channeled by a formation, it was enough to activate the God-Beating Whip.

However, in doing so, the God-Beating Whip would have to remain within the Ye family.

From then on, for any Semi-Saint, the Ye territory would likely become a truly forbidden area, a place they wouldn’t dare look upon even once.

“Heavenly-Fortune Formation, activate!”

The moment Ye Fan firmly claimed the God-Beating Whip, he immediately activated the formation he had prepared in advance.

In the next instant, Ye Fan threw the God-Beating Whip high into the air. He then operated the formation, continuously infusing the power of luck into the God-Beating Whip.

The entire Ye family seemed to be enveloped by a terrifying presence, and the breaths of the Ye family’s cultivators all grew rapid.

Thankfully, this feeling only lasted for a moment before slowly fading away.

And the God-Beating Whip completely disappeared from everyone’s sight, hidden deep within the Ye family.

Unless Ye Fan summoned it, no one could find traces of the God-Beating Whip.

Phew!

Ye Fan let out a long breath, finally relaxing a bit.

Having spent hundreds of years to garner an incredibly powerful trump card for the Ye Family, it was all worth it.

From now on, as long as the Ye family returns to their homeland, no one could harm them!

“Uncle!”

Seeing Ye Fan emerge from his seclusion, Yin Zheng hurried forward to greet him.

Hearing Yin Zheng’s address, Ye Fan felt a shiver down his spine.

“Fellow Daoist Yin, haven’t we agreed not to stand on ceremony?”

Ye Fan said helplessly.

Yin Zheng chuckled, “Uncle, it makes no difference! You call me Daoist, and I call you uncle, it’s the same.”

Ye Fan’s rare moment of being flustered brought a lot of amusement to Yin Zheng.

After all, there weren’t many opportunities to see the Family Head of the Ye family in such a state.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yin Zheng quickly told Ye Fan about the Wan Sheng Sect.

After listening to Yin Zheng’s words, Ye Fan slightly narrowed his eyes.

Ye Fan was, of course, no stranger to the Wan Sheng Sect, which was a top-tier power in the Pangu Universe.

Even possessing the God-Beating Whip as a trump card, Ye Fan dared not underestimate the Wan Sheng Sect.

A force that had produced several True Saints, Ye Fan did not believe they had no trump cards of their own.

How powerful a trump card left by a Saint could be, Ye Fan did not know, so he must take it seriously.

Of course, Ye Fan was not exactly fearful.

If they can’t win, they could just move the entire family to develop in the Sea of Primordial Chaos.

At that time, they would bide their time, grow stronger, and then come back and wipe out this Saint entity.

Being coveted because of his status as an Artifact Refiner, Ye Fan found this quite vexing.

Given the popularity of Artifact Refiners, Ye Fan had already expected as much, so he had always been quite low-key.

Other than his own people, Ye Fan had never revealed himself as a Saint Level high-grade Artifact Refiner.

However, it seems now, that he can’t escape the inevitable.

If that’s the case, then he might as well become a Saint Level top-grade Artifact Refiner.

The Ye Family didn’t have a Saint Level high-grade Artifact Refiner, but they did have one of top grade. Let’s hope you can handle it!

“System, request a merger!”

With Ye Fan’s thoughts, countless experiences once again appeared in his mind.

This time, all the Artifact Refiners who participated in the refining process had sudden revelations, showing how large the gains were this time around.

And these gains were now all being displayed on Ye Fan.

The difficult-to-break-through Saint Level high-grade Artifact Refining Technique didn’t resist for long this time, its bottleneck was broken straight away!

For a level like the Saint Level, even if there’s only a slight stage difference, the gap is still pretty significant.

In the Sea of Primordial Chaos, most Semi-Saints could use superior Saint Artifacts.

However, only the most powerful among the Semi-Saints were qualified to use top-grade Saint Artifacts, indicating the gap between the two.

Just as Ye Fan was planning to thoroughly digest the sudden increase of knowledge in his mind, a system prompt suddenly sounded.

“Congratulations, host, for completing a long-term task. Family Power: Thirteen (completed), ready for collection.”

Expanding operations in the Sea of Primordial Chaos has accelerated the growth of the Ye Family’s influence.

But he did not expect to complete the task so quickly.

With all the joy and good news, Ye Fan cast all thoughts of the Wan Sheng Sect aside.

Nothing is more important to Ye Fan than receiving system rewards.

“System, claim reward.”

“Congratulations, host, for receiving the reward: Hongmeng Purple Qi*3, Loyalty Panel*1.”

Loyalty Panel: Can display the loyalty of cultivators within the Ye Family’s influence!

Having read the introduction, Ye Fan knew that this Loyalty Panel was probably meant to supplement the Guest Token.

Guest Tokens are too precious and hard to obtain, and most Cultivators aren’t worthy of binding with the Guest Token. This Loyalty Panel is a kind of supplement.

With the Loyalty Panel, regardless of other things, it would be very difficult for spies to survive within the Ye Family.

Ye Fan quickly experimented and tested the effects of the Loyalty Panel.

Within the Ye Family, loyalty was unquestioned, and infiltration was impossible.

On the side of the Divine Dynasty, however, Ye Fan found quite a few problematic people.

The loyalty of these Cultivators was only about thirty or forty, indicating that they joined the Divine Dynasty with ulterior motives.

Among these people, many even achieved middle-rank positions in the Divine Dynasty.

Of course, the upper echelons are all integrated with the Bit Position, completely loyal to the Ye Family.

These middle-level Cultivators essentially have no chance of promotion.

However, Ye Fan wasn’t planning on pulling these people out just yet, but instead he handed the list over to Ye Xiaoxiao.

If they eliminate these people now, those forces with designs on the Ye Family will continue to send people into the Divine Dynasty.

But if they keep these people here, under the Ye Family’s control, it’s possible they could serve other uses!

Ye Fan planned to screen for loyalty every hundred years, to root out all the spies!

The internal structure of the Ye Family should be the cleanest of all the forces in the Pangu Universe.

This is the advantage of bloodline bonds, something that those forces relying on benefits cannot compare with.

Having dealt with everything, Ye Fan turned his attention to refining Saint Artifacts.

Over the years, even though Ye Fan couldn’t refine top-grade Saint Artifacts, he managed to trade for a considerable amount of materials for refining top-grade Saint Artifacts in the Sea of Primordial Chaos from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.

These materials are enough to refine three or four top-grade Saint Artifacts.

Now that his Refining Technique has broken through, it’s time to upgrade his equipment.

By the time the Pangu Universe is in complete turmoil, he hopes that the cultivators of the Pangu Universe won’t be too scared when they see the Ye Family’s Semi-Saints fully armed with top-grade Saint Artifacts!

Meanwhile, No Sky Semi-Saint returned to the Wan Sheng Sect in a rage, finding the Heavenly Heart Half Saint to relay the attitude of the Ye Family.

“The Ye Family has refused? Do you think the Ye Family has a Saint Level middle-grade Artifact Refiner?”

The Heavenly Heart Half Saint didn’t care about the Ye Family’s refusal. What he cared about was whether the Ye Family’s Artifact Refiner could meet his requirements!
