Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Inside the cave dwelling, the crimson flame fox languidly sprawled on the pavilion's roof, basking in the sunlight.

Inside the pavilion, Ye Jingcheng sat in meditation, enveloped by a thick layer of mist.

A full five hours passed before the Dream Devouring Worm dispersed all the black mist, and Ye Jingcheng slowly awoke from within the fog.

He took out two spiritual pills, then retrieved many beast souls, handing them to the Dream Devouring Worm.

The Dream Devouring Worm differed from other spiritual beasts; besides spiritual herbs, it also required the soul force of divine souls.

Although it had devoured the fifth-stage intermediate Flood Dragon's divine soul, the Flood Dragon's soul was full of baleful energy, easily affecting the Dream Devouring Worm.

Therefore, the spiritual pills he gave were all nurturing and purifying types. As for the extra beast souls, they were to help the Dream Devouring Worm advance more smoothly when breaking through to the fourth-stage late phase.

After finishing all this, the Dream Devouring Worm sluggishly flew towards its insect chamber.

Ye Jingcheng finally had time to contemplate his next course of action.

The Flood Dragon's information was extensive, which was why it took him a full five hours.

This Flood Dragon's obsession with treasures had reached a fanatical level. Over a thousand years ago, in the Sky Flood Sea, it had even stolen treasures from other Flood Dragons while it was only in the fourth-stage late phase.

Relying on its ability to transform into Xuan Ice energy, it had actually succeeded several times.

Eventually, it broke through to the fifth stage and devoured a pure-blooded Ice Flood Dragon's spirit egg, greatly strengthening its bloodline.

It was only because of its great escape skills that it wasn't killed on the spot, but the Sky Flood Sea could no longer tolerate it. It wandered for decades before arriving in the nearby sea area.

Through searching, Ye Jingcheng also discovered the location of many spiritual herb and fruit trees.

Among them were several fifth-stage spiritual fruit trees, such as the Ren Water Azure Origin Fruit tree and the Azure Origin Heavenly Star Fruit tree, all fifth-stage spiritual trees.

However, the former was not close to the Eastern Wilderness Islands and already belonged to the Peng Saint's territory.

The latter was located on the Sea Suppressing Demon Emperor's island.

The Sea Suppressing Demon Emperor was a Sea Suppressing Ape. Speaking of which, the Ye family's Star-Eyed Iron Ape had some Sea Suppressing Ape bloodline.

And this Sea Suppressing Demon Emperor's strength was also around the Nascent Soul intermediate stage.

Ye Jingcheng calculated the time and didn't immediately take action.

If the Demon Emperor had an accident too quickly, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. Moreover, there was still the issue of having too many Demon Emperors. If the soul contracts exceeded the limit, it might affect his own cultivation.

Therefore, he planned to refine the spiritual pills, and after the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon and Earth Dragon Demon Emperor consumed the advancement pills, he would try to break through to the Nascent Soul intermediate stage himself.

His current Nascent Soul early stage spiritual sense was already equivalent to some Nascent Soul intermediate stage cultivators. Breaking through to the intermediate stage would naturally bring some amplification. At that time, with spiritual sense equivalent to the Nascent Soul late stage, subduing them wouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, subduing the Sea Suppressing Demon Emperor could also help his fourth brother cultivate and break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Of course, while he wouldn't collect the major fifth-stage treasures, the Ye family would still scavenge a wave of fourth-stage treasures. Many of the fourth-stage spiritual objects inside would greatly help the Ye family's higher-ups.

At the same time, he also discovered two Gold Gathering Fruit trees. One of them was not far from bearing fruit. According to the Ice Flood Dragon's memory, the Gold Gathering Fruit would mature in about thirty to forty years.

For the Ye family, this was another piece of good news.

Unlike Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, which could often be purchased in the Central Region, Gold Gathering Pills were not so readily available. It was possible that they wouldn't appear for decades, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Therefore, if the Ye family could have two more fruit trees, they would have more Golden Core cultivators in the future.

Moreover, placing such spiritual fruit trees on an island, even with demon king guards, was not safe; they could easily be snatched away by other cultivators. The Ye family naturally had to transplant them as soon as possible.

Besides the treasures, Ye Jingcheng also obtained news of the two Nascent Souls in Starsea. The two Nascent Souls' techniques were somewhat similar to the Harmonious Jade Gate's techniques; they were both combined attack techniques. Although one was a Nascent Soul intermediate stage and the other was a Nascent Soul early stage, the strength they displayed together was enough to make the Ice Flood Dragon feel棘手.

This meant that the two could display Nascent Soul late stage strength in a short time.

This was a considerable combat power, and Ye Jingcheng had to treat it with caution.

What Ye Jingcheng found somewhat comical was that the Ice Flood Dragon was actually still searching for the Star Lord's legacy cave dwelling.

For a demon race to search for a human race Transformation God's legacy cave dwelling naturally made Ye Jingcheng feel somewhat strange.

Yet, the Ice Flood Dragon had found some considerable clues.

The location ultimately pointed to a sizable sea area.

The Ice Flood Dragon had been searching that sea area for fifty or sixty years, but still hadn't found any further clues.

But what made Ye Jingcheng somewhat believe was that the other party's storage magic treasure was actually a red conch.

According to some ancient books of Starsea, the Star Lord's research on space was particularly thorough, and he most favored shellfish storage magic treasures.

This meant that the Ice Flood Dragon's research was not without basis.

Next, Ye Jingcheng took out a jade slip and recorded all the treasure information he had obtained from the Ice Flood Dragon.

These places were not particularly dangerous, and Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan of the Ye family could go and search.

As for him, he needed to rush to the Central Region. Mysterious Puppet True Lord had already begun to transmit messages to him.

After putting away the jade slip, Ye Jingcheng took out a red conch. This red conch was the storage magic treasure that the Ice Flood Dragon had obtained by chance. All of the Ice Flood Dragon's spiritual herbs and treasures were stored inside.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng's spiritual sense entered it, he saw a large number of spiritual herbs. Among them, there were even fourth-stage fire attribute and lightning attribute spiritual herbs, and some were already withering and decaying.

Naturally, Ye Jingcheng felt great heartache.

This Ice Flood Dragon was truly ruining treasures. Many of the treasures it didn't actually need to consume, but it still snatched them over.

And usually, it used ice energy to preserve them.

The spiritual herbs of other attributes were fine, but for the fire attribute spiritual herbs, a medicinal effect of forty percent was considered high.

Through Dream Devouring Soul Searching, Ye Jingcheng also understood that the Ice Flood Dragon's idea was actually to exchange them with cultivators for breakthrough spiritual pills.

It had to be said that the Ice Flood Dragon had great ambitions, and it was no wonder it was no longer willing to submit to the Ye family.

Moreover, in Ye Jingcheng's view, the Ye family might need to change its approach in the future.

Not only submission, but they could also require these Demon Emperors to join the Ye family and serve as guest elders. This would at least save face for these Demon Emperors. Of course, the soul contract was still necessary to ensure stability. As for whether the other party regretted it after the soul contract, it would already be too late. Ye family guest elders were hired for a minimum of a thousand years.

This way, the Ye family could also recruit some demons with particularly mature minds, like the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

Furthermore, unlike cultivators, whose feelings for the Ye family were not necessarily deep, demons could still be completely bought off by the Ye family's spiritual pill system.

Ye Jingcheng took out jade boxes and began storing the spiritual herbs and precious treasures. After all the treasures were properly handled, Ye Jingcheng took a few spiritual herbs he needed and two fifth-stage spiritual herbs, and then didn't look anymore.

He would give this red conch and jade slip to Ye Xuecang, who could practice his swordsmanship.

He could also further subdue some demon kings in the sea area.
