Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Ominous black thunderclouds covered nearly half of the oasis, with lightning flashing across the sky, indicating a significant tribulation.

Ye Jinghu had also arrived at the Ye family's tribulation location. Because the thunder tribulations would stack, Lei Jiao, Lei Hu, and Ye Jinghu were breaking through separately.

Ye Jinghu and Lei Hu entered two tribulation mountains arranged with the Five Elements Profound Clarity Heavenly Dipper Formation, while Lei Jiao entered another backup spiritual mountain with only a Tier 4 Thunder Tower Formation.

The former was naturally more stable, capable of handling even a Core Formation cultivator's tribulation. The latter's Thunder Tower Formation was considerably inferior, but since Ye Jiacheng had used it for his Golden Core breakthrough, as well as Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, there shouldn't be any major issues.

After all, Lei Jiao excelled at controlling lightning and possessed an exceptionally strong physical body, making a successful tribulation highly likely even without a formation.

It would be unusual if Lei Jiao were to fail during the Golden Core tribulation.

The simultaneous tribulation of three entities created a far greater spectacle than a single tribulation, leading many uninformed low-level cultivators to believe that another Nascent Soul cultivator was breaking through in the Ye family.

Ye Haicheng's divine sense detected cultivators from other forces passing by the edge of the sand sea, stopping and showing solemn respect.

As the thunderclouds churned, the Ye family activated their mountain protection formation, with countless cultivators flying out to protect Ye Jinghu and the two demon kings.

Among these cultivators and spirit beasts, the two Thunder Rocs stood out with their constant cries, one with a wingspan exceeding a hundred zhang, and the other with a wingspan of eighty zhang.

Both Thunder Rocs belonged to Ye Jinghu, although the Tier 4 Thunder Roc was lent by the family for his breakthrough and spirit communication. The Tier 3 late-stage Thunder Roc was the spirit beast Ye Jinghu had nurtured himself.

The thunder tribulation didn't delay for long. Being just a Golden Core tribulation, lightning began to form and strike down after two quarters of an hour.

The most dangerous situation occurred with Ye Jinghu. Although his control over lightning secret techniques wasn't weak, the lightning damage from the tribulation seemed to be much stronger than what ordinary cultivators faced.

After activating his secret treasure, Ye Jinghu attempted to use his body's ability to absorb lightning-attribute true essence to withstand the attack, but he coughed up blood.

"It's still too much." Ye Jinghu's actions were inspired by Peng Yu and Jade Kirin Jiao's actions of swallowing thunder tribulations.

He believed that as a lightning-root cultivator practicing lightning-attribute spiritual techniques, the thunder tribulation would be even more beneficial to him.

However, he underestimated the power of the thunder tribulation and suffered significant injuries, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Even the blood he spat out flickered with lightning, emitting a sizzling sound in the air.

This was enough to clearly demonstrate the power of the thunder tribulation.

After enduring the first thunderbolt, Ye Jinghu repeatedly consumed pills and, abandoning his bravado, began to use the formation to resist.

To Ye Jinghu's surprise, his Thunder Tiger displayed extraordinary speed at that moment.

The spiritual patterns on its tiger hide began to turn cyan.

This wasn't because the Thunder Tiger was weak.

Instead, the Thunder Tiger was exhibiting wind-attribute true essence.

This Thunder Tiger was a gift from the Zhong family and was originally a Cloudfall Tiger.

Cloudfall Tigers were born with dual wind and lightning attributes, and their wings were known as Wind-Thunder Wings.

However, Cloudfall Tigers were only Tier 3 great demons at most. This one had decent bloodline and, with Ye Jiacheng's improved advancement pills, its lightning-attribute talent greatly increased, completely transforming it into a Thunder Tiger.

Now, under the Golden Core tribulation, the Windfall Tiger's wind-attribute true essence seemed to be re-emerging.

Looking at the blue-green spiritual patterns seeping out of the Thunder Tiger, they began to hesitate.

"Is that a Windhowl Tiger?" Even Ye Haicheng and the others watching from the periphery were astonished.

They knew that this spirit tiger was originally expected to only break through to Tier 4 at most, even if it had good fortune.

But if it truly shared the same bloodline as a Windhowl Tiger, breaking through to Tier 5 wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, the Wind-Thunder Wings' Wind-Thunder Escape was particularly famous for its speed among flying beasts.

Cultivating Wind-Thunder Escape would be a good ability for both defending against enemies and escaping in emergencies.

Ye Jinghu was naturally overjoyed.

As expected, with the Wind-Thunder Wings, the Thunder Tiger resisted the thunder tribulation much more easily, even shattering the falling lightning with its wings.

The Lei Jiao next to it had it even easier. It had a thunder horn, and as the spiritual light on the horn flickered.

Instantly, lightning spears, lightning swords, lightning beads, lightning axes appeared in the air…

At that moment, everyone began to wonder who was actually undergoing the thunder tribulation.

After the tribulation dispersed for the one person and two beasts, all three condensed high-grade Golden Cores.

With this, the Ye family had their eighth Golden Core, not counting Ye Jiacheng's eighth Golden Core cultivator.

"Congratulations, Jinghu!" Ye Haicheng cupped his hands in congratulation.

All the clansmen were filled with envy.

"Thank you, Great Grandfather. This time, it's not Jinghu's merit. This time, it's clearly Eleventh Brother's merit," Ye Jinghu said with a wry smile.

He originally thought that his breakthrough was a sure thing, but he almost suffered a great loss during the inner demon tribulation before the thunder tribulation.

He was immersed in the fantasy of leading the family to ascend to immortality and couldn't extricate himself.

If it weren't for the Mind Concentration Pill and the Yuan Demon Crystal Jade Bed's effects of calming the mind and guarding the spirit.

He might have already failed.

Although he was unwilling to admit it on ordinary days, he was still unwilling, even annoyed, that he hadn't become the Ye family's true patriarch and hadn't become the object of praise in Ye Jiacheng's mouth.

The so-called letting go was undoubtedly the helplessness of the matter, but if he could do it again, he would still choose to strive to become a qualified Ye family patriarch.

Fortunately, after this unforgettable experience of the inner demon tribulation, Ye Jinghu's temperament had matured a lot.

Most importantly, now that both of his spirit beasts had broken through to Tier 4, he believed that his combat power was not much different from Ye Jingyu and Ye Haihe.

"Has Yunxi already broken through?" Ye Jinghu couldn't help but ask after his exclamation.

"She has already broken through. In addition, Jingcheng has now broken through to Nascent Soul. In six years, the Sand Sea's Nascent Soul Ceremony will be held, which will also be your Golden Core Ceremony."

"At the same time, the family's absolute protection of the Sand Sea's affiliated families will be lifted. At that time, you will come forward to announce some rules," Ye Haicheng added.

A hundred years ago, the Ye family accepted more than fifty affiliated forces.

They also promised to protect them for a hundred years, but after this hundred years, some forces have indeed developed very quickly, such as the Ma family and the Wan family. Now both families have more than 300 people, and there are also five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as many good immortal cultivation seedlings, and they pay a lot of tribute to the Ye family every year.

But there are also affiliated forces who have long lost their enterprising spirit, guarding the oasis divided by the Ye family, not developing, not reclaiming, wasting the oasis in vain, and even the number of mortals has not developed well.

Naturally, there cannot be too many such families and oases.

Otherwise, it would violate the Ye family's original intention of dividing the land.

Moreover, the Ye family will soon have a teleportation array. In the future, it may not be possible to arrange for these affiliated families to explore along the other three directions of the sand sea.

The Ye family has also been exploring these years, but the effect is not great, the range of the sand sea is indeed large enough.

If the Ye family wants to master all the information of the sand sea, it is still very necessary to assign some tasks to these affiliated families.

"Okay!" Ye Jinghu nodded. He exchanged for the Golden Core Pill in the family, and naturally he also had to bear the family's responsibilities.

As a lightning-attribute Golden Core True Person, he can better deter some cultivators.

"As for the rest, you should consolidate your cultivation first," Ye Haicheng said a few more words before letting Ye Jinghu consolidate his cultivation again.

The Ye family's clansmen dispersed, and the Ye family's elders, hall masters, and peak masters began to study the Ye family's future strategy again.
