Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The azure sky gradually darkened, and the sea became more turbulent and fierce. Three figures slowly retreated from the island.

Inside the pavilion, only Ye Jingcheng remained, watching the backs of the three as he sipped the last of his spiritual tea.

In his hand, he held a jade scroll.

This jade scroll contained the information about the Star Ocean left behind by the Sun and Moon Sages.

Of course, the main information within pertained to the Thousand Cloud Palace and the Moon Sea Gate.

Both sects were Golden Core sects, but in the eyes of the Sun Sage True Lord, these two sects were not only top-tier Golden Core sects but were also likely brewing Nascent Soul cultivators, and once they had Nascent Souls, they might betray the Star Ocean Gate.

Throughout the entire Star Ocean, besides the Twin Sage Island where the Star Ocean Gate was located and the Sun and Moon Island used for markets and accommodating a large number of cultivators, the Thousand Cloud Island of the Thousand Cloud Palace and the Moon Sea Island of the Moon Sea Gate were the largest in area and had the best spiritual veins.

They were most suitable for settling the Ye family.

Ye Jingcheng agreed to all of this.

The Sun and Moon Sages provided the information about the Star Ocean's situation, and these two affiliated sects could be considered a gift, which the Ye family had no reason to refuse.

Of course, in return, Ye Jingcheng also gifted them a considerable amount of Longevity Tea.

The Sun and Moon Sages lacked lifespan, and Ye Jingcheng had long learned about this through his clansmen.

Over the years, the Ye family had infiltrated the Star Ocean quite a bit, but they had not yet penetrated the higher-level sects.

Firstly, the Ye family lacked high-level cultivators at the time, and secondly, they were being cautious and did not lack resources.

Now that the Ye family had more Golden Cores and the demon kings had increased and been subdued over the years, they could naturally take action. They could also take advantage of the Star Ocean's cultivator market to make up for some of the Ye family's losses in the Central and Eastern Regions.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng also learned from them the locations of three demon emperors.

Among them was the sea area of the Moon Spirit Conch Demon Emperor. This Moon Spirit Conch clan was extremely large, with hundreds of thousands of members, according to them, including one demon emperor, over twenty demon kings, and hundreds of great demons. The Star Ocean Gate had only encountered them once, snatching five Moon Spirit Conch demon kings and a dozen great demons. The Moon Spirit Pearl he had taken out was nurtured by the Moon Spirit Conch he had plundered.

The reason he said he was trading it earlier was just to increase his bargaining chips.

The remaining two demon emperors included the Town Sea Demon Emperor, whom the Ye family was familiar with, and a Myriad-Legged Octopus Demon Emperor, whose combat power was extremely impressive, comparable to a fifth-order mid-stage demon. However, it was relatively far away, and it would take a considerable amount of time to find it.

After Ye Jingcheng pondered for a while, he put away the formation and took out a spirit boat, flying towards the distance.

The direction he was flying was not the Yin Shark Sea, but the direction of Peng Sage Island in the sea.

The matter of the Star Ocean was not urgent for the Ye family, but if Ye Jingcheng went too late to deal with the Town Sea Demon Emperor, he might let this fellow escape again.

It would be much more difficult to find him so quickly next time.

He might even escape to Peng Sage's sea area, and even if the Ye family knew the location, they might not dare to take action.

…

On Twin Sage Island, the Sun and Moon Sages and Sikong Li landed together inside a huge palace.

The three hurriedly opened the formation and burned sandalwood incense, waiting for the sandalwood smoke to fill the entire palace.

The Moon Sage True Lord then spoke:

"Husband, giving up 60% of the profits and letting go of Thousand Cloud Island and Moon Sea Island is a bit much…"

"Moon, do you think that I haven't taken action for many years and have been scared out of my wits?" The Sun Sage True Lord said with a dispirited expression.

As he spoke, he took out a spirit beast pouch, and a jade-eyed toad landed in his hand.

The toad's eyes bulged, and its cheeks constantly swelled and contracted.

"This Azure Jade Toad is most sensitive to danger. Just now, inside the spirit beast pouch, it was already scared out of its wits, spraying that foul liquid more than a dozen times. You should know that I had never seen it like this before at True Lord Shuyuan's place in Tianhao Prefecture. I'm afraid either that Qinghe True Lord is an old senior cultivator, or he has several fifth-order mid-stage Flood Dragons."

"And regardless of which it is, it is not something the three of us can resist. Even if the two of us break through to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, we would never be his match. Rather than passively giving up profits later, it's better to give it all at once. Of course, while stabilizing him now, we must also show more strength in front of the Wang family. The Wang family's treasures are too obvious. Without them on us, we cannot prove that we are affiliated with the Wang family."

"When asking about the immortal sect background just now, I felt a hint of killing intent flash by. I'm afraid that if we had said even half a wrong word at that time, the formation on the island would have cut off our retreat, and the entire Star Ocean Gate would have been buried in the hands of the three of us." The Sun Sage True Lord was full of helplessness.

The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to fool people. Just like himself, how many people in the entire Star Ocean can fool him?

But even so, in front of that Qinghe True Lord, he felt like a novice.

Firstly, the other party's state of mind was no less than his. Secondly, his cultivation and aura were suppressed. He couldn't even sense whether the other party's cultivation was in the mid-stage or late-stage. Thirdly, his wife and daughter were together, so even if he could run, he couldn't.

"Husband, that Star Ocean Secret Realm…"

"Don't tell him about it for now. This is, after all, related to the inheritance of the Star Ocean Divine Lord. Although we have never obtained the Divine Lord's inheritance, if we really tell him, he will silence us on the spot, and we will have no chance of survival."

"Li'er, now that Qinghe True Lord is in the Star Ocean, you should no longer control the Star Ocean Gate. Tomorrow, I will send you to Tianhao Prefecture in the Central Region. In the Central Region, you must be low-key and cautious. Also, bring some core talented disciples over there, and strive to gain the Wang family's attention, so that Qinghe True Lord will not do anything to us."

"As for the Star Ocean Secret Realm, there are still over fifty years left. Let's inform them when the time comes," said the Sun Sage True Lord.

Seeing this, Sikong Li wanted to deny it, but found herself somewhat powerless.

Now, besides separating the disciples and making more preparations, they had no other good options.

The Star Ocean was a small and relatively remote region. The advantage was that Nascent Soul sects had absolute say, but the disadvantage was that because it was remote enough, if other powerful Nascent Soul cultivators took a fancy to it, they would be extremely dangerous.

She originally thought that Nascent Soul cultivators could do whatever they wanted, but now it seemed that the early stage of Nascent Soul was just entering the ranks of the strong, and among these strong people, there were still existences they could only look up to.

"Father, Mother, please rest assured, your daughter will definitely develop and strengthen the Chen Sect in Tianhao Prefecture in the Central Region, gain the Wang family's attention, and then come to rescue you both," Sikong Li said repeatedly.

Chen Sect was the name of the Star Ocean Gate in the Central Region. This was also to avoid exposure that the name was deliberately changed.

The Sun and Moon Sages nodded, but soon, the two couldn't help but sigh.

Nascent Soul cultivators, even in the eyes of many cultivators, are worthy of admiration, but when they really reach this realm, how easy is it to seek development?

Otherwise, how could the Star Ocean Gate have only given birth to one Nascent Soul, Sikong Li, after they broke through to Nascent Soul eight hundred years ago.
