Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

At sea, the sun was noticeably more intense than in the Eastern Region.

Even though it was only early summer, the heat was already considerable.

It shone upon the entire island, creating a sense of arid desolation.

Since Ye Xuecang's breakthrough, Cangyin Island had clearly been left vacant, and even the spiritual veins within the island had been well concealed.

Ye Jingcheng's spiritual sense swept over the area roughly, but he didn't detect anything amiss.

If he hadn't stayed here before, he might have thought he was on the wrong island.

He looked out towards the sea beyond the island. Previously, there was a thick layer of sea fog that covered nearly a hundred miles.

Looking from afar, one could see the fog but not the island.

Now, looking again, there was nothing to be seen.

He guessed that the family must have put some measures in place.

At that moment, Ye Shengyi took out several array flags and flew towards the center.

As he manipulated the spiritual seals, mist began to seep out again around the island, this time even thicker, covering the island in no time.

The changes within the island were also drastic. The ruins began to transform rapidly, turning into a steep island peak in a short while.

Spiritual energy surged from the mountain peak, even forming a spiritual halo due to the abundance of spiritual energy.

"A fourth-order spiritual vein!" Ye Jingcheng was stunned at this moment!

Clearly, the family had upgraded Cangyin Island's spiritual vein during this time.

When Ye Xuecang broke through, it was still a third-order peak spiritual vein, but now it was already a fourth-order spiritual vein.

"Third Great Grandfather, this spiritual vein must have consumed a lot of spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng felt the pure spiritual energy rushing towards him, and his body couldn't help but circulate its cultivation method.

The difference between a top-grade third-order spiritual vein and a fourth-order spiritual vein was like the difference between a stream and an ocean!

However, despite the great difference, the spirit stones required to upgrade a spiritual vein to the fourth-order were also astronomical.

His top-grade third-order spiritual vein cost at least four to five million spirit stones to establish, and he estimated that the family spent at least ten million spirit stones to successfully upgrade this fourth-order spiritual vein.

"A little over ten million spirit stones, I suppose. These spirit stones were just sitting in the Yun family's vaults, so it's good to use them for the family to build a place for breaking through to the Golden Core realm!" Ye Shengyi replied casually, as if answering a trivial matter.

Of course, when looking at the spiritual vein, the joy on his face was still somewhat unconcealable. For a family, having a high-level spiritual vein was a symbol of its foundation.

If a Golden Core family didn't even have a fourth-order spiritual vein, and the Golden Core cultivators could only use mid-grade spirit stones supplemented by a third-order spiritual vein for cultivation, that would be the tragedy of a cultivating family.

Moreover, having a fourth-order spiritual vein was also of great help to Purple Mansion cultivators breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

Whether it was Ye Jingcheng or other Purple Mansion cultivators in the Ye family, they might need it in the future. As for the spiritual vein at the Zhanghai Stele, although there was also a fourth-order spiritual vein, it was located too deep, making it easy to attract demon kings or demon emperors from the depths, making it less safe.

Ye Shengyi briefly introduced the situation to Ye Jingcheng and then went to open a cave dwelling on the mountaintop on his own.

Although Pseudo-Core cultivators could not break through to the mid-stage Golden Core, they could still make progress in their cultivation. At the same time, Ye Shengyi could also practice secret techniques, such as the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique, which would be enough for him to study for a long time.

Even the single Fire Thunder Technique was divided into Bing Fire Divine Thunder and Ding Fire Divine Thunder.

Ye Shengyi had only mastered the Bing Fire Divine Thunder so far.

Of course, his cave dwelling was opened here to facilitate Ye Jingcheng's inquiries about cultivation problems.

At the same time, if something happened at the Zhanghai Stele, Ye Shengyi could also rush to support it as soon as possible.

In their conversation, he had already learned that the Golden Light Rhino demon king was still guarding the Zhanghai Stele.

However, unlike before, this Golden Light Rhino demon king had a very high degree of recognition of the Ye family, and the Ye family also promised to give it the next Star Sea Fruit, which made it even more devoted.

After all, with the Star Sea Fruit and some other resources, the Golden Light Rhino had a good chance of breaking through to the fourth rank.

So the Ye family was also very relieved.

After looking around, Ye Jingcheng also opened a cave dwelling on the other side of the mountain peak. He didn't use Ye Xuecang's cave dwelling.

The spiritual energy in the two cave dwellings was similar, and out of respect for Ye Xuecang, he always felt that using Ye Xuecang's cave dwelling was not so good.

The cave dwelling was not very large, just a simple three rooms and a hall, one for alchemy, one for meditation, and one for placing the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven.

After opening the cave dwelling, Ye Jingcheng set up a simple magic array. Looking at the array's spiritual shield covering the cave dwelling, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a spiritual vein, an illusion array, and someone to guide alchemy and act as a protector.

With such a family, what more could he ask for?

At this moment, he should work harder and break through to the Golden Core as soon as possible.

Ye Jingcheng walked out of the cave dwelling. He looked around a few times and found that Ye Shengyi was still in the cave dwelling. He didn't disturb him. He knew that Ye Shengyi might not have recovered yet.

Or perhaps he was refining the Longevity Spirit Peach.

But no matter which it was, it was not appropriate for him to look for him at this moment.

He walked on the golden beach. As the mist enveloped it, the heat on the beach finally eased a little.

He would sometimes step on some shellfish. Obviously, as the white mist enveloped it, there were many more shellfish, crabs, and shrimps on the island.

Ye Jingcheng paused slightly, and then put the Two-Headed Turtle Demon King into the seabed, also letting the Two-Headed Turtle Demon King recover in the seabed.

This way, it would also absorb the spiritual energy and vitality of the seabed.

Then Ye Jingcheng released the Peng Fish and Jade Kirin Flood Dragon Golden Falcon.

These spirit beasts had all stayed on the island for a period of time before and were extremely enthusiastic about the sea, especially the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon and Peng Fish. Arriving in the sea also meant that they could freely devour the surrounding spirit fish.

They no longer had to worry about the indicators set by Ye Jingcheng, and at this moment they were completely cheering.

The two huge beast heads constantly confirmed with Ye Jingcheng how far they could run and how long they could eat.

The scene seemed a bit comical.

After all, whenever Ye Jingcheng nodded to one, the other would transmit its divine sense further.

It kept increasing like this. Ye Jingcheng finally couldn't bear it and waved his hand, letting them roam freely in the sea, but reminding them to be careful not to be found by cultivators.

Especially the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon. The Peng Fish was fine, and not many people would kill it when they saw it, but if the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon appeared in the sea and was discovered by cultivators, it would be very easy for the news to be sold.

As a result, a large number of dragon slayers would come to slay the flood dragon.

After all, the flood dragon's whole body was a treasure, and it was famous in the cultivation world.

As Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, he saw the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon and Peng Fish dive deep together and disappear into the mist.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Golden Falcon. Unlike the Golden Falcon, he gave it more instructions.

Patrolling the surrounding sea area and excavating treasures were all things that the Golden Falcon did with ease. It was much better than the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon and Peng Fish, who only knew where the fish were big and plentiful.

Before, when he was cultivating on his own Chenyin Island, it was the Golden Falcon who found treasures and spirit beasts everywhere, allowing Ye Jingcheng to gain a lot.

As for the Crimson Flame Fox, Five-Colored Cloud Deer, Golden Scale Beast, and White-Browed Azure Wolf, none of them planned to come out.

The former was breaking through, while the latter three had little to do with the sea area.

Especially the Golden Scale Beast, who was currently full of fighting spirit in the Tiangang Body Tempering Array, frantically pulling the Five-Colored Cloud Deer to train.

With the Jade Scale Flood Dragon and Crimson Flame Fox breaking through one after another, plus Ye Jingcheng having new fourth-order spirit beasts, he felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.

After arranging all of this, Ye Jingcheng summoned the Peach Wood Sprite and several Star Pear Wood Sprites.

They were all curious at this moment, wondering what Ye Jingcheng was doing.

They saw Ye Jingcheng take out a jade box, which contained tens of thousands of array flags and several array bases, densely packed.

Ye Jingcheng took out a jade slip from the box, read it once, and then began to set up the array.

He also had the Star Pear Wood Sprites and Peach Wood Sprite participate in the setup together.

Compared to spirit beasts, these wood sprites were obviously more intelligent. The Stone Spirit Cave Heaven's intelligence was also good, but the Stone Spirit's mind was not as mature.

Ye Jingcheng planned to have these wood sprites watch over him while he was inside the illusion array, so that even if something went wrong,

the wood sprites could handle it.

These wood sprites all had Ye Jingcheng's soul contract. Even if Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Book was exposed, and he revealed some actions he shouldn't have,

Ye Jingcheng could find out through the soul contract and make amends and improvements.

Regarding the inner demon tribulation, Ye Jingcheng was most worried not about the Ye family's Spirit Beast Pagoda being exposed, but about his Treasure Book being exposed, and about his time-traveling being exposed. That's why he was unwilling to set up the illusion array in front of Ye Shengyi.

Of course, this fourth-order array might not necessarily trigger these things.

This array was called the Four Profound Heavens Illusion Array.

The array has a total of four layers, with each layer of the illusion array progressing, and the difficulty also increasing.

The cultivators who enter it can experience four kinds of illusions, and only by breaking through all four illusions can they break out of the array.

Under the concerted efforts of Ye Jingcheng and the wood sprites, the array was set up in less than two quarters of an hour.

The Peach Wood Sprite took the initiative to offer flattery at this moment, saying:

"Master, why don't you let me try it first, to scout the way for you?"

"No need!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head directly. The illusion array only works when it's unexpected. Originally, Ye Jingcheng had the intention of breaking the array, so psychologically, he already had a considerable advantage.

If he learned more through the soul contract, then it would be completely unnecessary.

"After I enter the array, if I haven't come out in half a month, then directly open the array and let me out!"

After the array was set up, Ye Jingcheng made some arrangements.

His expected time to break the array was ten days, giving himself fifteen days was because this illusion array was a fourth-order array, giving himself a little room for error.

If he still couldn't break through after fifteen days, it meant that he couldn't pass this illusion array. Rather than continuing to hold on inside, it would be better to improve himself outside.

In Ye Jingcheng's view, there were more than just these three methods to break through inner demons, there was also his Dream Devouring Worm.

Each dream of the Dream Devouring Worm could allow him to comprehend the life of a demon soul, and that real feeling could also improve his state of mind.

After everything was prepared, Ye Jingcheng also controlled his cultivation level and directly entered the illusion array.

As Ye Jingcheng walked into the illusion,

a wave of dizziness hit him, and Ye Jingcheng fell asleep directly.

… …

"Jingcheng, Jingcheng?" Ye Jingcheng had a dream, a very long dream.

In the dream, he returned to Lingyun Peak, and he also dreamed that he had already formed his Golden Core.

And everything fell into place.

However, just as the Golden Core Ceremony was being held, he woke up.

Being woken up, he sat up from the bed, only to find that there were several female cultivators waiting for him in front of him.

Among them were Chu Yanqing, Xu Xiuqing, and even Liu Huan.

Ye Jingcheng paused for a moment, then shook his head directly.

Before they could call out, he said:

"Although I also have distracting thoughts in my heart, the mere path of love is not enough to disturb my mind!" Ye Jingcheng's eyes were firm, staring ahead.

No matter how the people around him acted in front of him, flirting, or even the three of them dancing gracefully, showing their charm, Ye Jingcheng didn't have the slightest expression.

"It looks like the form is similar but the spirit isn't. It seems that this array is a bit exaggerated!" Ye Jingcheng muttered to himself.

And with the sound of murmuring, he also waved his sleeves.

The array shattered instantly, and several figures disappeared.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the cave heaven, which stunned Ye Jingcheng, because in his imagination, there should have been four layers of illusion arrays.

However, the wood sprite ran over and reported to Ye Jingcheng that everything was so real.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt a terrifying pressure, and the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven became uneasy.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but look up, only to see a very blurry beast shadow suddenly appearing in the sky.

The beast shadow had a whale-like face, eyes like stars, and a full four beast eyes, all staring at him.

That vast body was like a suspended island in the sky, and the aura that was inadvertently leaked out made Ye Jingcheng's breathing a little rapid.

"This is, the Star Sea Demon Emperor…" Ye Jingcheng was stunned, then greatly shocked.

He frantically cast spells and summoned the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven, but at this moment, the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven seemed to be imprisoned, unable to make any movements at all.

And the other wood sprites and spirit beasts were all terrified.

It was rumored that Nascent Soul cultivators could master the supernatural power of the void. Now it seemed that he was being targeted by the Star Sea Demon Emperor.

Soon, the beast shadow arrived in front of him. Ye Jingcheng felt like a speck of dust in a crystal ball, and the beast shadow outside was the giant beast that devoured the crystal ball. Its huge nose sniffed around, savoring the scent.

Then it made a ghostly and shocking sound:

"Ant, dare to slaughter my territory, today I will swallow you into my belly!"

Saying that, the giant beast really began to open its mouth and swallow.

Its mouth was like the Peng fish, growing countless times larger, and Ye Jingcheng also saw an abyss-like giant mouth opening in the starry sky.

At this moment, endless light disappeared.

A terrifying suction force came out, and Ye Jingcheng felt that everything around him was changing.

The surrounding space was shattering, the towering peaks were also being slowly corroded, a terrifying saliva submerged him, and at the same time, the spirit veins shattered, the Stone Spirit disappeared first in his soul contract, followed by the Spirit Eye Spring, the Golden Light Bamboo Forest, the Spirit Lake…

He seemed to be swallowed in the cave heaven.

The saliva also surged towards him, he wanted to escape, but at this moment, he couldn't get out of the cave heaven, and the spirit beasts were being digested in the saliva, all he did was powerless.

"No, this is an illusion array!" Ye Jingcheng felt that the Treasure Book of Treasure Light had not changed, and he suddenly became serious.

In his memory, if the spirit beast of the soul contract died, then a page of the Treasure Book would also be reduced by one page.

Now that the Stone Spirit and the spirit beasts had died, there was no change.

It was clearly an array.

Ye Jingcheng finally became interested at this moment, and his gaze seemed to pass through the beast's body and meet the starry eyes of the Star Sea Demon King.

At this moment, the starry eyes were no longer beast eyes in his eyes, but the array bases of the illusion array.

As Ye Jingcheng saw through all of this, the corrosion slowly stopped, and the surrounding scenes began to change again.

However, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng did not underestimate it in the slightest, he knew that the third and fourth layers of the illusion array were coming soon!
