Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The scorching sun shone brightly overhead.

The Heavenly Shadow Peak Plaza was bustling with noise.

Besides cultivators, many mortals were also present around the perimeter.

Today was the day the Ye family held their Ascension Conference, and these mortals were the village chiefs of their respective villages.

As the Ye family held more and more Ascension Conferences, the village chiefs were already aware that those who had cultivator descendants needed special care, as they were more likely to produce more cultivator offspring.

Descendants of cultivators also needed care.

This was to ensure that their towns had more and more seedlings of immortality, and their positions as village chiefs became more and more stable.

Therefore, the number of clansmen participating in the Ye family's triennial Ascension Conference has been increasing almost every year. Looking at it now, there are already more than a thousand people, which can be said to be the largest and most populous Ascension Conference in the Ye family's history.

Ye Haicheng and Ye Xingxiao were still responsible for the entire Ascension Conference, but this time, unlike in the past, the Ye family would divide all the immortal seedlings into the Clan Academy Hall, where they would be uniformly cultivated before being sent to the family.

This time, the Ye family would make some advance arrangements regarding spiritual root affinity.

For example, those with a strong affinity for fire spiritual roots would be given priority to the Pill Hall and Artifact Hall for preliminary screening, while those with a strong affinity for water and wood spiritual roots would be given priority to the Spirit Herb Hall and Spirit Talisman Hall.

Some clansmen would also be sent to the branch veins.

This was not to say that the Ye family's current training was weak, but that the Ye family had more and more cultivators. In order to ensure that the Ye family's welfare and salary policies did not collapse, the Ye family needed more spirit talisman masters, spirit herb masters, alchemists, and artifact refiners.

As for sending people to the branch veins, it was to ensure the Ye family's high control over the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix Oasis.

After all, there were now more than a thousand immortal seedlings with spiritual roots, of which four or five hundred were non-bloodline clansmen. The Ye family could no longer arrange for all of them to be placed in the Heavenly Phoenix Oasis Clan Academy Hall as before.

When all the spiritual root tests were completed, Ye Xingxiao couldn't help but sigh. The family's harvest this time was still the same as in the past. The highest were a few dual spiritual roots, and neither heavenly spiritual roots nor alien spiritual roots appeared.

"That's normal. It would be rare if heavenly spiritual roots and alien spiritual roots kept appearing," Ye Haicheng said from the side, not feeling too disappointed. Instead, he looked at the children with vitality in their eyes and felt an even greater expectation.

In the Ye family, what was valued was not only spiritual roots, but also perseverance, temperament, beast紋 mastery, and talent in the four arts of cultivation.

"However, Xingxiao, your task is very important. This time, I need you to secretly select five people, mainly with fire, earth, and water three spiritual roots. Their talent doesn't need to be too good, but their beast紋 mastery must be sufficient, and their loyalty to the family must also be sufficient. Guide them to choose easier cultivation methods. The family now needs a large number of Golden Core and Violet Palace cultivators, even if it means forced growth. If we can find the most suitable matching cultivation methods, matching spirit beasts, and matching spiritual roots for rapid cultivation, we won't be left with a hollow middle due to too rapid development in the future," Ye Haicheng continued to add.

"Okay!" Ye Xingxiao heard this and didn't know whether it was good or bad for the selected clansmen.

This strategy certainly allowed those clansmen to cultivate quickly, but because they all relied on the family's spirit beasts to pull them up, without much of their own accumulation, it was easy to stop at the Violet Palace stage and difficult to break through to the Golden Core stage.

But for the Ye family, it was indeed time to try.

The existence of beast紋 in the Ye family easily buried some geniuses with talent in certain areas, simply because there were too many clansmen.

And the base number of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators was the largest.

If they could test out the most suitable cultivation methods, advancement pills, spirit beasts, spiritual roots, and spirit pills, the Ye family could at least give some clansmen one more choice in the future.

This was the same as many families being forced to let many clansmen break through to become pseudo-core cultivators in order to provide the family's foundation.

Of course, there were more benefits. Some clansmen with poor talent like Ye Tengchuan, but with strong talent in special skills, could use templates to quickly increase their cultivation, so that they would have more opportunities to study the four arts of cultivation and show their talents.

It was just that the screening required and the costs the Ye family needed to pay would be greater.

"Prepare well for the family clan competition. The rewards for this Violet Palace competition are extremely generous," Ye Haicheng reminded with a smile after announcing the matter.

Ye Xingxiao also nodded.

Unlike the last time, when there were not many participants in the Violet Palace competition, this time there were more than sixty participants.

And this competition would also be observed and learned from by other Ye family members. Naturally, they, as hall masters, could not perform too poorly.

After finishing speaking with Ye Xingxiao, Ye Haicheng also retreated into the main hall. He sat on the grand master's chair and continued to ponder.

For him, neither the family conference, nor the Ascension Conference, nor the competition would have too many problems.

What he was always worried about was the Nascent Soul ceremony at Lingyun Peak in the Eastern Region.

Because the Ye family didn't want to expose their full strength, the ceremony naturally needed to be held separately, while also boosting the morale of the Eastern Region's sects.

But because of this, Lingyun Peak was the most worrying. It was very likely that cultivators from Penglai would sneak in, and might even continue to attack the Ye family's inner hall clansmen with beast紋.

The Ye family needed to take more precautions. After all, after suffering a great loss, the Crimson Blood True Lord did not take action. They did not believe that the Crimson Blood True Lord would swallow this silent loss.

Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to think, so he, as the great-grandfather and the head of the Ye family, naturally had to think clearly.

...

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the Ye family's competition had also completely ended. The spirit children of each hall had been born, and the top thirty in the Qi Refining competition, the top ten in the Foundation Establishment competition, and the top three in the Violet Palace competition had all been selected.

After the entire family's carnival, they also began to gradually get back on track.

Those who cultivated cultivated, those who prepared spirit talismans and spirit pills prepared spirit talismans and spirit pills, and many clansmen were already specializing in learning about the maps, power situations, core cultivators of various forces in the various prefectures of the Central Region, as well as the customs and cultures of the Central Region.

These were all things that needed to be done in advance, so as to ensure that the Ye family could quickly develop in the Central Region.

After all, there were still several Nascent Soul forces that might become obstacles to the Ye family. The faster the Ye family's speed, the less the other party would react.

When they reacted, and the Ye family showed its strength, and with the support of the Wang Prefecture Lord, Xiao Prefecture Lord, and other righteous sect cultivators, the Ye family could truly gain a foothold in the Central Region.

And above Lingyuan Peak, which was unnoticed by everyone, the azure lotus spirit shadow on a high platform completely bloomed at this moment.

Just like a ripe lotus seedpod, the lotus seeds emerged and the lotus seedpod opened.

After a while, the spiritual light disappeared, and Ye Jingcheng's white-robed figure was also revealed.

However, compared to before the enlightenment, Ye Jingcheng's face was full of joy at this moment.

He could now look inside his body and see the five spiritual patterns on his Nascent Soul, three of which were extended together.

Now, he could barely cast three Dao-containing divine powers at the same time.

Of course, the most powerful was still his Water-Fire Imbued Law Divine Ability. Three were a bit difficult, but he was already extremely proficient with two.

Ye Jingcheng suppressed his joy and took out a jade slip to record and summarize his findings.

Finally, he went deep into the sand sea and, after arranging an array, unleashed the two divine abilities.

It almost caused the fifth-order array he had bought to be on the verge of collapse.

This made Ye Jingcheng even more delighted. In this way, he truly had his own trump card.

In the Eastern Region, he had exposed most of his cards after all. Although the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon were powerful, they were not particularly reliable against Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators. But now, the difference was much smaller.

Ye Jingcheng could also start planning for the fifth-order Earth Flood Dragon and fifth-order Ice Flood Dragon blood essence.

Once the Jade Kirin and Earth Dragon completed their advancement, the Ye family's foundation would definitely be stronger than the previous Medicine King Valley.

With the addition of the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit, Ye Jingcheng felt particularly confident about his next trip to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Before long, Ye Jingcheng returned to Sky Shadow Peak.

He placed both the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven and the Snail Within Heaven on Sky Shadow Peak.

Sky Shadow Peak was, after all, a fifth-order middle-grade spiritual vein, close to a fifth-order high-grade spiritual vein. The spiritual energy situation was not comparable to Ye Jingcheng's fifth-order low-grade spiritual vein in his cave heaven.

Moreover, the Golden Scale Beast and the Six-Colored Cloud Deer were both in seclusion, breaking through in Ye Jingcheng's cave heaven, so there couldn't be a shortage of spiritual energy.

As for the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit, it had been placed in the Snail Within Heaven.

The spiritual vein within the Snail Within Heaven had been improved by Ye Jingcheng, but it was only at the third-order high-grade level. It would take some time to reach the fourth-order, so it could only rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of Sky Shadow Peak.

Inside the cave dwelling on Sky Shadow Peak, Chu Yanqing had already entered seclusion. According to the jade slip left by the latter, Ye Jingcheng also knew that Ye Qingfeng had also entered seclusion and was beginning to break through to the Violet Palace peak stage.

As for Ye Qingnian's wedding, it had been postponed by two years due to his seclusion and enlightenment, so he hadn't missed it.

Ye Jingcheng then directly entered the Snail Within Heaven.

He was naturally overjoyed with this cave heaven.

This cave heaven could be developed into a body-tempering secret realm in the future.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit's intelligence had to be raised, so as to ensure that there would be no problems.

The Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit's Yuan Magnetic Divine Light restrained the five elements' spells. If the mountain spirit did not have enough intelligence, it would become extremely difficult for the Ye family's high-level cultivators to attack.

As soon as he entered the secret realm, a repulsive force spread out, and Ye Jingcheng felt that his true essence had begun to become somewhat sluggish again.

The Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit was located on the most central third-order spiritual mountain, and the spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens were now completely barren.

They had turned into black soil, but to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit had completely hidden itself inside the mountain. If he hadn't sensed the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and Yuan Magnetic repulsive force, perhaps no one would have known that there was a Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit here.

Being able to understand hiding meant that the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit already had a certain amount of wisdom.

He looked again and saw two spiritual shadows standing side by side on the mountain peak.

One of them was the spiritual shadow of Peacock Stone, which was the image of a burly man, and the other was the appearance of a fat child, with half doubt and half expectation in his eyes.

Obviously, there were still many doubts about Peacock Stone's teachings.

But this progress still made Ye Jingcheng extremely satisfied.

Being able to condense a spiritual shadow meant that it already had considerable wisdom.

Of course, this was partly due to his refining an advancement stone formula.

But it was undeniable that the Peacock Stone Spirit was still extremely hardworking.

"Master!" The Peacock Stone Spirit saw Ye Jingcheng and repeatedly cupped his hands, his eyes full of joy.

It used to be taught by the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven, and it only felt that it was stupid.

But now, it realized that it was not stupid at all. The little stone fatso in front of it was really stupid!

"You've worked hard. I'll send you some defensive magic treasures in a few days!" Ye Jingcheng infused some treasure light into the Peacock Stone Spirit and praised it.

The Peacock Stone Spirit was now also cultivating the Spiritual Canon. Devouring some defensive magic treasures could speed up its cultivation.

The latter was immediately overjoyed when he heard this.

After all, almost all the benefits in the past had been given to the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit. With Ye Jingcheng's promise, its cultivation speed would definitely be much faster next.

"Yuan Magnetic," Ye Jingcheng looked at the little fatso transformed by the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit.

"M-Master," the little mountain spirit stuttered.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Then, Ye Jingcheng began to issue some simple orders.

Such as urging the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, such as weakening the restriction of the Yuan Magnetic force on himself.

The former Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit was already handy, but its spiritual shadow was only equivalent to the third-order, and it could not exert its fifth-order strength. The Yuan Magnetic Divine Light was not dense, and it needed more wisdom and longer growth time.

As for weakening the restriction on Ye Jingcheng, it was still generally mastered.

Not to mention, Ye Jingcheng weakened the restriction when flying at high speed.

In this state of fighting the enemy, Ye Jingcheng can only say that he has a slight advantage, after all, he may encounter Nascent Soul body cultivators.

Therefore, the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit also needs to take the Ye family's Wisdom Pills, plus advancement pills, to improve its strength and control.

With its fifth-order strength, advancement pills can be swallowed at will.

The Ye family had already started looking for third-order and fourth-order stone formulas when they obtained the Yuan Magnetic Mountain Spirit.

Now he estimates that the fourth-order stone formula should be almost complete.

"Work hard, maybe in half a year, there will be a place for you to use your strength." Ye Jingcheng infused some treasure light into the mountain spirit, and then withdrew from the Snail Within Heaven.

He entered the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven and began to investigate the situation of the various spirit beasts and wood demon spirit medicines.

Ye Jingcheng mainly looked at the Blood Spring Spirit, whose amplified spirit spring was now supplying all the spirit materials for the fifth-order advancement pill, preparing for the refining of the fifth-order advancement pill.

As for the spirit beasts and wood demons, the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven had already begun to retreat, and it was estimated that it could reach the late fourth-order after leaving the retreat.

It was another happy event.

The peach tree bloomed again, and it was not far from the next fruiting.

The Golden Falcon was also a little short of the fourth-order peak, and breaking through the fourth-order peak was just around the corner, and it was also expected to break through the fifth-order within fifty years.

The White-browed Green Wolf and the Peng Fish were a little worse, but they had also made great progress.

Ye Jingcheng's spirit beasts had been extremely hardworking under the leadership of the Golden Scale Beast.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the Jade Ring Mouse had also reached the middle stage peak of the Violet Palace, and had completely surpassed the Earthworm.

"Master!" When a group of spirit beasts and wood demons saw Ye Jingcheng coming in, they were all overjoyed. After all, they had not received treasure light and spirit pills for more than half a year, and they felt that their cultivation speed had slowed down again.

"Now you can leave the cave heaven and go to the cave heaven next to it to cultivate!" Ye Jingcheng sensed the thoughts of several spirit beasts and kindly reminded them.
