Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The architecture of the main hall was extremely ancient. The pillars were made of purplish-red Zinan spiritual wood, carved with auspicious clouds and mythical creatures. The walls were covered in murals recording various events.

These murals were all lifelike and vivid.

In front of the murals, Ye Jingcheng consumed a Bone-Dissolving Pill and changed his appearance, now resembling Jun Buhui.

All traces outside in the mountain desert had been erased, but this main hall might not be destructible. Naturally, Ye Jingcheng couldn't show his true face.

He was also looking at these carvings at the moment.

After watching for a while, he even became somewhat immersed in them, which was enough to show the charm within.

Of course, there were indeed many details in these murals and carvings.

For example, the Taoist robes, the hairpins, and the belts were all extremely ancient, somewhat different from what he remembered.

At the same time, the auspicious beasts and spiritual beasts inside were also somewhat different from Ye Jingcheng's perception.

All of this indicated that this Tianshan Sect was indeed extremely ancient.

Ye Jingcheng shifted his gaze and landed on the inside of the main hall.

The front hall of this main hall was a reception hall, with only some tables and chairs.

There was also a teapot.

These tables and chairs were quite extraordinary, each made of second-order spiritual wood. Although it seemed wasteful, using these tables and chairs to receive guests could indeed show the host's wealth.

Naturally, Ye Jingcheng also put all these tables and chairs into his storage bag.

Then, he focused on the only teapot.

The teapot was a Zisha teapot.

Picking it up now, there was still an unusual fragrance, but inside, it was already dry and covered with some dust.

However, upon closer inspection, this teapot was still a second-order magic tool, but because it had been around for too long and had not been properly protected, the magic tool was already half-destroyed.

It needed to be re-refined before it could be used.

Ye Jingcheng crossed the front hall and went towards the main hall.

This main hall was the true place of inheritance, with a large number of memorial tablets and countless candle holders.

It's just that the spiritual candles on them had all burned out.

It looked somewhat dim and dilapidated.

Sure enough, under the ravages of time, nothing could be preserved forever.

"The first sect master of the Tianshan Sect, the Earth Virtue True Person's spirit tablet…"

Ye Jingcheng took a look, but still didn't recognize which ancient cultivator it was. After all, the time was too long.

These memorial tablets were meaningless to him.

However, at this moment, he became more cautious, because this was the place of memorial tablets, a place with extremely heavy Yin energy, where ghost souls could be born.

Of course, there were even more cases of remnant souls seizing bodies.

In front of the spirit tablets was a square Eight Immortals table, with spiritual patterns carved on the table, also absorbing spiritual energy and nourishing the treasures on the table.

On the entire table, there were three offering plates, a storage bag, an incense burner, and a jade slip.

Of the three offering plates, two were already empty, and only one still had a yellow spiritual fruit.

This yellow spiritual fruit was called the Golden Ganoderma Fruit, a third-order high-grade spiritual fruit. This fruit was extraordinary, as it could increase a cultivator's affinity for earth-attribute spiritual energy, indirectly improving spiritual roots.

Of course, the improvement was not much, otherwise it would definitely not be just a third-order spiritual fruit.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw this fruit.

He knew his own talent. He didn't have any spiritual body. Having this Golden Ganoderma Fruit could also improve his own talent.

He just didn't know if it would still be effective after being placed for so long.

After all, the spiritual fruits on the other two plates must have dissipated due to time.

Otherwise, there would not be only one Golden Ganoderma Fruit left here.

And in front of the table, there were three yellow futons.

Ye Jingcheng guarded his mind, and then swept over with his divine sense again and again. After confirming that there were no problems, he took out a handful of spiritual incense, lit it, and put it into the incense burner.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, as the smoke from the incense burner drifted out, many spiritual characters actually ignited in the sky.

"Smoke Method Inheritance!" Ye Jingcheng saw this Smoke Method Inheritance for the second time.

The last time was in the secret realm of Zhenhuang.

Within the inheritance was a secret manual called the Profound Wilderness Overlord Body.

It was also a body-forging technique.

It was even a low-grade earth-rank technique, almost catching up with Ye Jingcheng's Five Spirits True Scripture.

But you must know that this Profound Wilderness Overlord Body was a body-refining technique, and it could also be cultivated to the early Nascent Soul stage.

For Ye Jingcheng, it was an extremely good choice, whether he cultivated it himself in the future, or gave it to Ye Haicheng and Ye Haihe.

Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to delay, and quickly recorded it with a jade slip.

This technique was extremely long, but fortunately Ye Jingcheng used a lot of spiritual incense. After the technique was displayed, he finally saw a line of ancient characters at the end.

"Pass on this technique, do not forget Tianshan!"

For no reason, Ye Jingcheng saw some sadness in this line of words.

He suddenly thought in his heart that if many years later, he had no hope for the Great Dao and wanted to leave an inheritance, would he also be so helpless?

After all, whether future generations can remember is really ethereal and illusory.

Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, and finally engraved these eight characters into the jade slip as well.

Even if this technique circulates in the Ye family in the future, at least they will know the three words Tianshan Sect.

Ye Jingcheng put away the jade slip, and then took out better spiritual sandalwood and put it into the incense burner. As the smoke surrounded, the entire main hall seemed to be brighter.

But when the smoke came down, the scene inside was exactly the same as before.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and moved the incense burner. As the incense burner moved, the entire Smoke Method Inheritance disappeared instantly, which was extremely magical.

Ye Jingcheng put away the incense burner, and then randomly exchanged a pill furnace from Jun Buhui's storage bag to act as an incense burner.

This incense burner contained the inheritance, and Ye Jingcheng couldn't let a second person know.

It wasn't that he was disrespectful to them, but because he was now in the position of the Ye family, he had to be careful.

Even though his face was already Jun Buhui's face at this moment.

After changing the furnace, Ye Jingcheng took out some fire candles and lit them on the table and on the candle holders.

Then, he bowed twice, and took up the jade slip and put the spiritual fruit into the jade box.

As Ye Jingcheng picked up the spiritual fruit, it soon showed a tendency to peel off and dissipate spiritual energy.

Ye Jingcheng quickly took out a spiritual talisman, pasted it on the spiritual fruit, and carefully covered it with a jade box, and then pasted a spiritual pattern to prevent dissipation.

As the spiritual fruit was put away, a large amount of spiritual energy poured out from the spiritual plate below. Ye Jingcheng finally understood why this spiritual fruit could be preserved for so long.

It was related to the spiritual plate, and also related to the table.

But Ye Jingcheng didn't take the table. The principle of the table was actually a spirit gathering array table. Although it also had value, it was not great.

In addition, he had received the technique, so Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, and put some wild fruits he found on the mountain into the three plates.

These wild fruits were ordinary spiritual fruits, and it was estimated that they would be washed away by the torrential spiritual energy in a short time, and would not leave too much information.

Even if they stayed, they would not be able to see Ye Jingcheng's true face.

After Ye Jingcheng put down the fruits, he also added some spiritual wine to the cups next to them.

After doing all this, Ye Jingcheng picked up the storage bag and walked out resolutely.

After all, the secret realm was not in Yan Country, and there were no Ye family cultivators responding outside.

Moreover, because Chen Niangzi was from the Qing family of the Qingling Chamber of Commerce, Ye Jingcheng still felt that there might be an ambush outside.

So now was not the best time to check the treasures. The best thing he could do was to search as quickly as possible and leave.

He checked those厢房 (xiāngfáng) and backyards inside and out.

Finally, he stopped behind the courtyard. Before him, golden light shimmered – a small forest of golden bamboo.

This overjoyed Ye Jingcheng.

This golden bamboo was no ordinary plant, but a high-grade Rank 2 spiritual bamboo. Although its value and reputation couldn't compare to golden lightning bamboo, it was still quite distinguished.

Golden bamboo was excellent for crafting flying swords and offensive magic treasures. Besides that, it also made for a nice landscape feature when planted in a blessed land.

Moreover, the golden bamboo before him ranged from four to five hundred years old for the larger ones, and one to two hundred years old for the smaller ones. The exposed roots beneath were even older!

This kind of golden bamboo only had a maximum lifespan of five hundred years. After five hundred and one years, it would wither, turn into golden soil, and return to the spiritual earth.

Ordinary three-hundred-year-old bamboo could sell for four to five hundred spirit stones per plant, and five-hundred-year-old bamboo could potentially sell for nearly a thousand spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that there were five golden bamboo plants close to five hundred years old, eighteen around three hundred years old, and forty-odd over a hundred years old.

This golden bamboo forest could be considered the foundation of a family.

Ye Jingcheng quickly began transplanting them.

This time, he also took out all the spiritual soil from the earth-turning earthworms.

The earth-turning earthworms were already in the mid-stage of Rank 2 and had consumed Rank 2 advancement pills. However, even after consuming them, they hadn't broken through to the late stage of Rank 2.

But the spiritual soil they produced was already of excellent quality within Rank 2.

This time, Ye Jingcheng luxuriously gave most of the excellent spiritual soil to the golden bamboo forest.

It was used to place the golden bamboo in jade boxes for storage, which could maintain the bamboo's spirituality.

After all, he wasn't planting them right now, and time was somewhat limited.

Storing them like this was the best option.

After storing them well, Ye Jingcheng thought it over again and again, and still didn't leave behind a small section of golden bamboo root.

After all, golden bamboo was rare even outside. Ye Jingcheng was even more worried that it would be discovered later that the golden bamboo here and the Ye family's golden bamboo magic tools had the same origin.

Ye Jingcheng checked again with his divine sense, and finally left the mountain peak. The other spirit beasts seemed rather bored at the moment.

Because Ye Jingcheng had them guarding the entrance to the secret realm, worried that someone from outside would come in.

But clearly, the people outside seemed to prefer waiting for the rabbit to run into a tree stump.

As for no one coming, Ye Jingcheng didn't believe it. After all, this Chen Niangzi had always wanted to escape the secret realm, so she must have believed she could escape.

But if she really escaped the secret realm, how would she survive if Ye Jingcheng chased after her?

Moreover, at that time, Ye Jingcheng hadn't shown any killing intent yet.

Ye Jingcheng walked to the spiritual gate of the secret realm, and the peach wood tree demon also walked over. In its hands were many spiritual herbs.

These spiritual herbs were all earth-attribute or metal-attribute, perfectly suited to the environment of this secret realm, but they were all Rank 1 and Rank 2 spiritual herbs, which the Zifu cultivators hadn't really cared about before.

Now, they had all been picked by the peach wood tree demon.

"Master, these spiritual herbs are dedicated to you!" The tree demon was extremely fawning, almost prostrating itself before Ye Jingcheng.

"You've done well!" Although Ye Jingcheng didn't like the way the tree demon spoke, he had to admit that the peach wood was the most sensible.

The beast tide would collect corpses, and searching the mountains would retrieve treasures.

Ye Jingcheng took back the tree demon's treasures, and then put away the peach wood tree demon and a group of spirit beasts.

Then, Ye Jingcheng went to the side and picked up Chen Niangzi.

At the same time, he also held the blessed land stone spirit in his hand, both for defense and to release Ye Shengyi.

His appearance still remained as that of Jun Buhui.

Afterward, he released the spirit puppet that Lin Fuqing and the others had used to scout the way, letting it exit the secret realm.

On the spirit puppet, there were also Ye Jingcheng's Five Venom Bees attached.

Outside, it was almost dawn, and the moonlight was somewhat dim, seemingly about to disappear at any moment.

But after observing the surroundings, there were no problems outside.

The spirit puppet then re-entered the spiritual gate.

Ye Jingcheng nodded after seeing the information sent back by the Five Venom Bees.

Then, he looked at Chen Niangzi.

He discovered that the other party had already reached the point of utter despair. Her cultivation had been destroyed, and coupled with Ye Jingcheng's caution and appearance change.

She knew that even the Qing family couldn't hope to take revenge.

In fact, at this moment, she was even more worried.

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly, and his confidence grew even greater.

Afterward, he released the Heavenly Armor Fire Puppet, letting it walk in front, while he held the stone spirit's main body and Chen Niangzi, and exited the spiritual gate.

There were no problems when exiting the spiritual gate.

However, just as Ye Jingcheng appeared, with Chen Niangzi still in his hands, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and countless stars appeared.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng's divine sense was cut off from the outside world. He had once again fallen into a formation.

His expression remained calm, and he directly drew his sword, and Chen Niangzi's sealed vitality vanished!

"Fellow Daoist, you are far too ruthless!" At this moment, two cultivators walked out from outside.

One of them was actually Qing Xuanyuan, whom Ye Jingcheng had been worried about before.

The other was an elder of the Qing family in the late stage of Zifu.

"Just the two of you, can you stop me?" Ye Jingcheng shouted coldly.

It could be said that he was extremely domineering.

However, he currently had the appearance of Jun Buhui, and showing off, in his opinion, was also Jun Buhui being arrogant.

"You're courting death. We are both in the late stage of Zifu. How can you live? Hand over the treasures obediently!" Qing Xuanyuan also shouted loudly.

At this moment, he was already annoyed by losing track of the Five Elements True Lord, and now, being provoked by Ye Jingcheng, he looked even more ferocious.

"Jiu Lao, let's attack!" Qing Xuanyuan said.

However, just as the two of them took out their magic treasures, they saw a strange stone in front of them, with spirit python patterns converging. In the next moment, a graceful figure appeared strangely.

And transformed into a giant star hand, grabbing towards them!

"Not good, this is a Golden Core cultivator!" The two were extremely horrified.

They even wanted to curse. This suddenly appearing Golden Core cultivator was truly beyond their expectations, because the secret realm in front of them was only a Rank 3 secret realm.

So they didn't call for the True Lord behind them.

But now, they were filled with regret.

Both of them had good strength, but wanting to escape in front of a Golden Core cultivator was still too difficult.

In less than three breaths, the two were killed one after another, and along with them, the formation also dissipated, revealing the original environment.

A spiritual rainbow appeared in the sky, and Ye Shengyi, who had previously set up the formation, glanced at it thoughtfully, and then a Rank 4 flying sword flew out from his hand, slashing towards the departing figure.

That figure seemed to only be in the mid-stage of Zifu, and was quickly killed by Ye Shengyi.

And just as Ye Jingcheng was preparing to destroy the traces here, Ye Shengyi suddenly spoke:

"The one who escaped was only a clone, the main body is still here, release your spiritual fire and burn it!" Ye Shengyi was extremely certain, and Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

He released the Scarlet Flame Fox, and as the Scarlet Flame Fox continuously spewed out spiritual fire, it incinerated the surrounding area.

And just at this moment, from a pile of earth on the side, a figure suddenly rushed out, about to fly towards the distance.

But it was too late. The other party had pretended to be clever by staying here, and had already lost any possibility of escape.

It was once again killed by Ye Shengyi with a single sword!
