Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The courtyard before the Winter Solstice appeared even more desolate, making the cultivators in the entire market seem more hurried than usual.

Ye Jingcheng opened the window of his room, allowing the crimson glow of the sunset to flood in.

He straightened his clothes and then walked out of the room.

Two days had passed since the small trade fair, and today was the day Taiyi Sect had set for the exploration.

Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and after nurturing several magical artifacts, he headed towards the outer courtyard.

The rest of the Ye family had already gathered in the outer courtyard.

"Third Uncle, Fourth Brother, I nurtured a magical artifact for a while," Ye Jingcheng said apologetically.

Ye Xingliu nodded slightly:

"It's alright, it hasn't started yet, and we still have to wait for the Chu family."

Although they weren't forming an alliance with the Chu family, they wouldn't forget that the Chu family was a related family through marriage.

When everyone had gathered, there were more than thirty people from the Ye family, while on the other side of the courtyard, there were more than sixty people.

Among them, there were five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It should be known that the Chu family had also experienced considerable turmoil before, and this number indicated that the Chu family had been developing well recently, and they probably bought a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills before.

The leader of the Chu family was still Chu Xiyu, the head of the Chu family, wearing a golden-crowned brocade robe. He had an extraordinary aura today, and his cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, on par with Ye Xingliu.

After Chu Xiyu and Ye Xingliu greeted each other, they both walked towards the outside of the market.

There were many more people on the streets and alleys today, and at a corner, several more cultivators joined the Ye family's team.

These seven or eight rogue cultivators were also temporary hires recruited by the Ye family this time. For large sects, exploring the Taihang Mountains was naturally more reliable with various families, because they could find their roots and their clansmen.

Rogue cultivators were different. They could leave at any time, so large sects didn't bring ordinary rogue cultivators when exploring.

If these rogue cultivators wanted to join, they could only join a family and take out 60% of their income, 30% for the sect and 30% for the family.

Of course, even so, there were still many who went to the Taihang Mountains, most of whom were to earn enough spirit stones to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill a year later.

The group continued to walk to the outside of the market, where a large open space outside the market was already crowded with people.

Countless cultivators were neatly distributed according to the flags of their respective families, with the four Golden Core families at the forefront.

Among them, the Zhang family and the Zhong family had the most people, while the Jin family and the Kong family, the two major elixir families, had fewer people, but there were also more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and two Violet Palace cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng squinted his eyes and also checked these Foundation Establishment cultivators, perhaps there would be his strong enemy among them at that time.

Ye Xingliu also took out a jade slip at this time and placed it in Ye Jingcheng's palm.

"The latest one!" Ye Xingliu's voice also came from his mind.

Ye Jingcheng smiled knowingly and continued to look at the Mo family and the Xu family, the two were still very close, and he couldn't help but look at the female cultivator.

But he found that as soon as he looked over, the female cultivator stared coldly, and the chill approached again!

"Be careful, she may be in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even the peak of Foundation Establishment," Ye Xingliu also secretly transmitted his voice, obviously also noticing the situation over there.

However, the latter's face was also full of doubts, he didn't know when the Xu family had such a figure.

"She has been exchanging ice-attribute materials at the Foundation Establishment Conference," Ye Jingcheng replied again through voice transmission.

However, before a few people could continue to speak through voice transmission, suddenly, the Red Sky was blocked in the sky, and a huge spirit boat flew from a distance.

This spirit boat was as high as four stories, and there were dozens of sails, each sail was covered with various spiritual patterns.

When these spiritual patterns were running, they were like a roaring prehistoric beast, giving everyone endless pressure.

On the spirit boat, Superior Man Mingyuan, Superior Man Tianzhen, and Superior Man Taihao all landed at the head of the spirit boat, controlling the huge spirit boat.

It was also enough to see the Taiyi Sect's seriousness in this exploration.

"Such a big spirit boat, it must consume a lot of mid-grade spirit stones!" Ye Jingli next to him also sighed with emotion.

This spirit boat was too big.

Even Ye Jingcheng's divine sense would take several breaths to fully cover it.

"This is the fourth-order Wonderful Method Treasure Boat of Taiyi Sect's Real Person Miaofa. The most core spirit gathering array and driving spirit array use high-grade spirit stones, and there is no need to say more about mid-grade spirit stones. As long as it is fully activated, the daily consumption is not a small amount," Chu Yanqing heard Ye Jingli's emotion next to Ye Jingcheng, and also explained.

Ye Jingli suddenly looked at Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing with some strangeness, looking back and forth between the latter, and then looking at Ye Jingyong.

Seeming to suspect the identities of the two.

"Sixth Brother, pay attention," Ye Jingcheng repeatedly reminded.

There were more than a dozen Violet Palace families here, and four Golden Core families, not to mention the Taiyi Sect.

Boom!

At this moment, the spirit boat finally stopped, hovering in mid-air.

It was like an aerial island, completely covering the entire blue sky.

"Everyone board the spirit boat, follow the areas divided by your respective families, remember not to trespass, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Superior Man Mingyuan's words, like a thunderbolt, rang in everyone's hearts.

Immediately afterwards, a group of cultivators began to board the boat.

All the procedures were carried out steadily, and the Ye family was no exception, quickly boarding the spirit boat.

"There are spiritual veins on this spirit boat?" Ye Jingcheng was extremely surprised as soon as he landed on the spirit boat.

This was the first time he had heard of a spirit boat with spiritual veins.

"Many secret realms mastered by large sects are explored by driving this kind of treasure ship," Chu Yanqin obviously knew more, and she continued to explain to Ye Jingcheng.

And after Ye Jingcheng learned that this kind of treasure ship also belonged to the treasure level of magic weapons, he felt even more extravagant.

And the speed of the treasure boat next was beyond Ye Jingcheng's expectation.

"According to this estimate, it will take at most three days to reach the Taihang Mountains," Ye Jingcheng simply estimated the time, he originally thought that his Profound Shadow Azure Cloud Boat was already extremely fast.

Now, compared, it was a world of difference.

Moreover, the treasure boat was also covered with various cultivation rooms.

Ye Jingcheng chatted with the rest of the Ye family for a few words, and then entered the cultivation room, the jade slip in his hand also fell into his brow.

Inside, it described the appearance and information of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Among them, there were ten sect cultivators, such as Taiyi Sword Peak's Yun Jianzi, Xiao Tai'a, these two not only learned Taiyi Sect's Sword Light, but also contained a sword embryo, it is said that once the sword embryo comes out, hundreds of miles away, it can take the head of the opposing cultivator.

There were also Taiyi Dharma Peak's young weapon refining master Wang Tianfa, Xiao Qianhe, Taiyi Illusion Peak's young formation masters Liu Huan, Liu Yunzhi, Taiyi Purple Peak's Foundation Establishment senior brother Chen Yunzi, and so on.

Ye Jingcheng took a look, almost all of them were famous late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Facing these sect cultivators, Ye Jingcheng only had one principle, avoid if possible, and try to avoid disputes if not possible.

Besides the cultivators from our sect, the jade scroll also contained information on formidable Foundation Establishment cultivators from the four major Golden Core families.

However, when Ye Jingcheng looked at the Xu family, he found no record of any Ice Spirit Root cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng read with extreme care, unwilling to lower his guard against any of these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, even a single oversight could mean the opponent was hiding a deadly move.

Back then, Qi Refining cultivators were already full of hidden talents; Ye Jingcheng figured Foundation Establishment cultivators would be even more dangerous, especially since many probably carried talisman treasures.

Ye Jingcheng studied the jade scroll for a long while before putting it down and beginning his cultivation.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the divine soul within his body suddenly began to stir.

Furthermore, Wood-attributed spiritual power continuously surged from within the Beast Communication Mark.

This spiritual power was extremely pure, and there was a considerable amount of it.

It seemed the Tricolor Cloud Deer was about to break through.

Ye Jingcheng was instantly filled with both joy and worry.

He was joyful that the Tricolor Cloud Deer was finally about to break through, but worried because it was currently inside the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven, which he couldn't enter at the moment, nor should he.

Ye Jingcheng could only wait for the exploration to end and enter the secret realm after no Nascent Soul cultivator could secretly observe him.

The Tricolor Cloud Deer's breakthrough also meant Ye Jingcheng's strength would advance further.

The only regret was that, due to the secret realm opening so soon, Ye Jingcheng hadn't used the Heavenly Soul Splitter Art to divide his soul.

After all, dividing the soul would cause weakness for a period of time; it would be fine if there were no battles, but soul division was absolutely out of the question if there were.

He also took out a spiritual pill and slowly began to cultivate.

Although he couldn't make much progress in a short time, constant dripping wears away the stone; slowly but surely, it was always good.

Time passed, second by second.

Ye Jingcheng only felt the sky outside change, from a blazing sun to a serene, clear moon.

Many stars also appeared in the sky. At this moment, he suddenly realized they had already entered the Taihang Prefecture.

The distance that would take them Foundation Establishment cultivators more than half a month to travel, this treasure ship seemed to be able to cover in a little over a day.

Ye Jingcheng didn't continue cultivating but instead went to the deck. Beside him were Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyong, and Ye Jingyu.

Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong were constantly talking, while Ye Jingcheng worried about Ye Jingyu overhearing something.

After all, this wasn't the real Ye Jingyu; if the Beast Communication Mark were exposed, the matter would be huge.

Otherwise, he would still be cultivating in the room.

However, Ye Jingli was noticeably more mature than before. He and Ye Jingyong were chatting about mundane things, about Ye Jingyong's son.

Ye Jingyong's son was born last year, currently named Ye Wen. If he had a spiritual root, he would be named Ye Qingwen, following the generation naming scheme.

Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingli were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, only a wall away from Foundation Establishment. Therefore, both of them, one even having a son and the other being a Refiner, were preparing to give it their all to purchase Foundation Establishment pills and prepare for Foundation Establishment.

After all, this trip to the Taihang Mountains wasn't going to be easy.

This time, the territory they were exploring belonged to the Three-Eyed Demon King, also the territory of the Three-Eyed Roc clan.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that if more than half of those on this spirit boat could leave safely, it would mean this exploration was relatively smooth.

After all, the sect's benefits wouldn't be so easy to obtain.

If it were that simple, the Taiyi Sect would have come themselves.

"Jingcheng, what about you and Chu Yanqing?" Ye Jingli said, turning to look at Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingli was usually interested in refining and also curious about some of the clan's novelties.

"It's just a normal in-law family relationship, Sixth Brother. Don't make wild guesses. My expectations for the Great Dao are currently greater," Ye Jingcheng quickly explained.

Hearing this, Ye Jingli nodded with a look of regret.

Ye Jingyong then spoke up:

"Jingcheng, Chu Yanqing is likely a core member of the Chu family."

Ye Jingyong's wife was Chu Yanliu.

She was also from the Chu family. Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng wasn't surprised. He could tell from how she seemed to be able to enter secluded cultivation whenever she wanted, and how after breaking through, she was able to oversee Taichang Square City and was extremely close to Chu Xiyu.

She might even be a Dual Spirit Root genius.

It was just a pity that Ye Jingcheng didn't like how she delved into things too deeply. Such a life of cultivation wouldn't be good news for him or the Ye family.

After a simple chat, a sliver of fish-belly white began to appear at the end of the sky.

At that terrifying speed, it was as if a golden sun was constantly shooting towards the crowd.

That kind of magnificence and boldness couldn't be described with words.

All they knew was that the golden sun rose from the end of the mountains, and countless golden rays spilled onto the spirit boat, making it seem exceptionally dazzling.

In the next moment, the treasure ship also began to descend, heading towards the valley.

This valley wasn't unfamiliar to them; it was the Jade Dragon Valley they had explored before.

The Jade Dragon Lake above had even clearer and more vibrant water at this moment. Then, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators also began to fly up to greet them.

Among these Nascent Soul cultivators were the Ye family's Ye Haicheng and the Xu family's Xu Chunlin.

There were also several Taiyi Sect Supreme Elders, obviously stationed here in advance. As for the Golden Core True Persons, Ye Jingcheng hadn't seen them yet, but they were most likely on the spirit boat.

This was also why, even though he had formations, he didn't dare to observe the Tricolor Cloud Deer's breakthrough on the spirit boat.

Now, he could only sense it through the soul contract, which felt somewhat uneasy to Ye Jingcheng.

"Everyone, rest for a day, and we'll begin the exploration tomorrow!" Supreme Elder Mingyuan shouted loudly once more.

These arrangements had obviously been made in advance, so no chaos occurred.

All the cultivators were carrying out their duties, and each family was stationed in pre-arranged locations.

Seeing Ye Haicheng, Ye Jingcheng felt even more at ease. Ye Xingliu even handed a spirit beast pouch to Ye Haicheng.

Moreover, Ye Xingliu was clearly winking at Ye Haicheng, which made Ye Jingcheng even more reassured.

He couldn't see through Ye Haicheng's or Ye Xingliu's scheming, but he could tell whether the family was prepared.

If they were prepared, there would be no problems at all. After arriving at the stationed location, Ye Jingcheng also took out the family token and began to communicate with Ye Xingliu.

He didn't continue to hide the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven. He wanted to ask the latter if he wanted some things in advance, but Ye Xingliu obviously didn't need them and even told Ye Jingcheng to continue using the Bone Burying Ring.

This Bone Burying Ring could just serve as the first layer of cover. Even if it were exposed by then, there was no need to worry, since the Ye family's real treasures were hidden in the Cave Heaven.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded. His concerns were gone.

After waiting for half a day, Ye Jingcheng suddenly discovered that the Tricolor Cloud Deer's soul contract had finally stabilized, and the divine soul fluctuations transmitted were also extremely healthy. It was obvious that the breakthrough had succeeded, but Ye Jingcheng still couldn't take it out yet.

He still needed to wait.
