Second Soul Infusion, Terrifying Gains (Two-in-One; Thanks to Pineapple-Loving Xiaotian for the 2,000-Coin Tip)

The Lineage Ancestral Shrine, with its flickering candlelight, illuminated the room brightly.

The Array was activated abruptly, and Ye Jingcheng once again entered the Ancestral Shrine.

This time, all his anger vanished, replaced by utter sincerity in his eyes.

After dealing with Ye Jinghe, it was naturally time for his own second Soul Infusion.

For Ye Jingcheng, his Beast-Link Mark were far from saturated, but the benefits of the second Soul Infusion were Ye Jingcheng couldn't afford to ignore.

Those Beast Soul powers can indeed broaden the Beast-Link Mark and enhance Spirit Beast soul power, thereby increasing the Spirit Beast's breakthrough speed to a certain extent.

Naturally, as the Spirit Beast broke through faster, Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough was not far off.

Behind him, Turtle Ancestor and Ye Haicheng also stepped out, this time protecting Ye Jingcheng.

The biggest taboo in the ritual of Beast Communion is to disturb it.

Because it also involves the Divine Soul.

And right now, the two that are best protected are undoubtedly these two.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng began his devout bow, Ye Haicheng activated the Array in the sky, and rain began to fall again across Soaring Cloud Peak.

A sudden gust of wind, a deafening Thunderclap of thunder, and the patter of rain.

This made the entire Soaring Cloud Peak appear gloomy once again.

It seemed that because of Ye Jinghe's matter, the entire Soaring Cloud Peak had become tense and anxious.

Ye Jingcheng had no time to pay attention to the outside world. He fell back into the dark tower, his Divine Sense spread out widely, and he thought of many ways to leave behind as much soul power as possible.

Around the tower, beastly figures began to slowly emerge. Some roared ferociously, some howled to the sky, some lay prone, some glared angrily, some had kind and gentle faces, and some were cute and charming, while others were fierce and menacing with fangs hanging high...

For a moment, it truly seemed as if all the beasts had arrived.

Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to observe further; he only felt ten thousand beasts rushing towards him.

This wasn't the first time he had gathered them together; this time, he activated both his Beast-Link Mark and the Treasure Book to their maximum potential.

According to the Lineage Clan Elder, the Beast-Link Tower will only leave Beast-Link Mark on the first person to enter.

Upon entering a second time, all the beasts would pass through the Beast-Link Mark, as if the Beast-Link Mark had been squeezed larger.

Of course, at this time there will also be a great deal of pain.

In addition to activating the Beast-Link Mark, Ye Jingcheng has also condensed a considerable number of Fire Attribute Spirit Patterns, Water Attribute Spirit Patterns, Wood Attribute Spirit Patterns, and Earth Attribute Spirit Patterns.

Practice makes perfect, but the chaos of the beasts was too great, and he couldn't gather enough strength to achieve his goal.

Then it crashed in again.

Ye Jingcheng felt as if a primordial beast had crashed into his Beast-Link Mark and even into his Divine Soul.

The five-inch and one-inch Beast-Link Mark instantly more than doubled in width.

The immense pressure felt as if it were about to crush Ye Jingcheng's Divine Soul.

If the Soul-Splitting Technique of the Heavenly Soul Art was considered a minor pain, then the current squeezing sensation was an unparalleled agony.

It felt as if I had been brutally trampled by ten thousand Spirit Beasts.

The beastly shadow vanished, Ye Jingcheng reappeared in the Ancestral Shrine, only this time, his face was tightly closed.

The pained expression quickly turned into a joyful one.

However, the simultaneous expression of joy and pain caused his lips to twitch slightly.

At this moment, the two Beast-Link Mark within his body had expanded to their maximum size, filled with terrifying soul power.

This soul power will be lost, but it can also be fed back to all his Beast Communion Spirit Beast through the Beast-Link Mark.

He could sense that the various Spirit Beast Soul Pact were suddenly extremely excited.

Even the Spirit Beast that had been in seclusion were breaking through their limits.

But that wasn't all. Ye Jingcheng also discovered that the Spirit Patterns he had condensed indeed left behind some soul power, which was still dissipating, but Ye Jingcheng could control it to flow towards the Beast-Link Mark.

In this way, Ye Jingcheng essentially gained a significant amount of extra soul power.

This made him extremely happy.

This suggests that his research direction is correct, or that Spirit Patterns can only support, but cannot deepen, the condensation of Beast-Link Mark.

Of course, it's also possible that his Spirit Patterns are too low-level and have limited capacity.

It's even possible that Thunder Attribute Spirit Patterns are more capable of bearing the load.

Ye Jingcheng's mind raced with thoughts, and he looked at the Treasure Book within his body.

To his surprise, the seven-inch Beast-Link Mark grew even thicker.

Even now, the Beast-Link Mark shows signs of branching out.

It seemed too thick, like a river, and began to branch out.

The Treasure Book's carrying capacity was far beyond imagination, but to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the soul power of this Seven-inch Beast-Link Mark had not yet dissipated.

It remains within the Beast-Link Mark.

However, the five-inch and one-inch Beast-Link Mark were not acceptable, so Ye Jingcheng could only continuously transmit them back to the Spirit Beast.

Even some of the soul power within the Seven-inch Beast-Link Mark couldn't help but be transferred.

After all, his Spirit Beast was extremely pleased.

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

"Aww!"

Ye Jingcheng felt as if he could hear the roars of many Spirit Beasts in his mind.

It was as if all the Spirit Beast had gone mad.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng abruptly stopped the soul power of his Seven-inch Beast-Link Mark.

But his Spirit Beast was definitely in disarray; he knew it.

It felt as if the Spirit Beast's Divine Soul had suddenly become stronger, and this feeling of unease needed to be released.

Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes repeatedly; he wanted to return to his own courtyard and enter the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven.

"Jingcheng, your absorption..." Outside, Ye Haicheng was also dumbfounded as he watched Ye Jingcheng wake up.

Because the soul power of the Beast-Link Tower has visibly disappeared.

He also Soul Infusion twice before Turtle Ancestor broke through, but he was sure that the soul power he consumed that time was probably only one-tenth of Ye Jingcheng's, or even less.

It should be noted that he also has Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark, and he has one five-inch pattern and two three-inch patterns.

In the Ye Family, that's definitely considered pretty good.

"Grandpa, I might have to take care of something now!" Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to explain, so he left the place to Ye Haicheng and Turtle Ancestor.

Turtle Ancestor watched Ye Jingcheng from the moment he woke up until he left, and even after he disappeared, he still observed him for a long time with reluctance.

"Hai Cheng, what about what I told you last time? What have you thought about?" Turtle Ancestor asked with a hint of regret.

But Ye Haicheng ignored him once again.

The latter put away the Beast-Link Tower and didn't respond to the Turtle Ancestor.

It's because he's a generation younger than Turtle Ancestor.

Moreover, he knew that he might not necessarily be able to defeat Turtle Ancestor.

As a cultivator who had mastered Beast Communion, he was well aware of the immense power of the Turtle Ancestor.

Ye Jingcheng stepped into the courtyard of the Ye Family, entering Grotto-Heaven.

Inside the Grotto-Heaven, chaos had already broken out.

Apart from the Golden-Scaled Beast, which had just entered seclusion, it was still able to suppress its movements, but its breakthrough seemed to be greatly hindered.

Needless to say, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer and the Soil-Turning Earthworm both broke through and awakened. The former had already broken through to the late stage of the second tier, while the latter had also successfully advanced and was only one step away from the early stage of the second tier.

Among them were four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, one of which had broken through to the mid-stage of the second tier, while the remaining three were all rich in soul power, constantly emitting lightning as if they were going mad.

Even ordinary Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle experienced a significant increase in soul power and were now restless and agitated.

Even the Wood Demon swayed constantly during their advancement.

Although the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon have not broken through, their soul power seems to have reached the peak of the second tier, and their demon souls may break through to the third tier at any time.

The two beasts were making quite a racket, growling and howling.

Golden Falcon was considered the best among his Beast Communion Spirit Beast, and at this moment, the latter's eyes were bright, and it seemed to have become much smarter.

But it was also chirping incessantly at that moment.

Only the Stone Spirit and the Flesh Ganoderma, who were not Beast Communion, remained unchanged at this moment. The former looked at the other Spirit Beast with a somewhat bewildered expression.

I don't know what happened to them.

The latter opened the parasol, hoping to absorb some Spiritual Qi, but the attached Spirit Talisman restricted it again.

At this moment, all the Spirit Beast were extremely agitated, even though they were restrained by the Soul Pact.

It even seemed as if it was about to explode and die at any moment.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat annoyed.

He knew this was because the Treasure Book had absorbed too much soul power; he had no concept of the amount of soul power he had previously absorbed.

So, subconsciously, he also transferred the soul power of the Seven-inch Beast-Link Mark to the Spirit Beast.

It now appears that the Beast-Link Tower, in addition to establishing a connection between humans and Beast Communion, also involves the most mysterious element: soul power.

This immense soul power cannot be absorbed in a short time.

Ye Jingcheng dared not delay and released the Purple Sun Demon Corpse.

The only way to eliminate the unsettling factors is through combat and attrition.

All the Spirit Beast attacked the Purple Sun Demon Corpse.

The Golden Falcon landed at the very front; its terrifying speed was like a golden meteor streaking across the sky, leaving no trace.

With a loud boom, it clashed with the claws of the Purple Sun Demon Corpse, and unleashed supreme demonic fire.

The Purple Sun Demon Corpse was sent flying backwards, while the Golden Falcon was not seriously injured. It circled once more and soared into the sky to gather its strength again.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Flame Fox Jade-Scale Flood Dragon launched a frenzied attack. The former spewed out enormous flames, while the latter slashed with its jade-scaled tail fin, as thick and swift as a jade knife.

The Purple Sun Demon Corpse raised its claws once more.

This time, at least it was only a single attack against two late-stage, near-peak second-tier Spirit Beast.

But they still retreated more than ten feet.

Bloodstains and charred marks began to appear on his body.

Besides that, there was a sky full of lightning nets and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer sucking at the ground.

The lightning net surged violently, resembling a pool of lightning, engulfing the Purple Sun Demon Corpse.

As expected of a third-tier demonic corpse, the Purple Sun Demon Corpse merely appeared numb and trembled before walking out of the Thunder Pool.

The aura of the Four-Colored Cloud Deer also descended, and at this moment, the demonic fire in the eyes of the Purple Sun Demon Corpse seemed to be sucked out.

In an instant, all the Spirit Beast launched a frenzied attack on the demon corpse.

Ye Jingcheng looked on with worry, feeling no excitement whatsoever, but rather a sense of fear.

They had no choice but to cast some spiritual shields on the Purple Sun Demon Corpse and even use some Spirit Talisman.

Otherwise, he would really be worried that the third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse would be crippled.

The intense battle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

As time went on, the Purple Sun Demon Corpse finally gained the upper hand.

The Golden Falcon was the first to recover, and its soul power and intelligence increased significantly once again.

Besides calling for its owner, this time it also apologized.

In its view, Ye Jingcheng had given it such a great fortuitous opportunity, yet it still couldn't control itself.

They deserve to be struck a thousand times over!

Next came the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

The former is alright, still in the late stage of the second tier, although his Divine Soul power has reached the peak of the second tier.

The latter, Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, had already reached the peak of the second tier.

Further ahead is the third level.

Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed. No wonder Ye Xuecang had repeatedly emphasized that he should infuse his spirit once more before breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm.

As for the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, after half a year of seclusion, it finally broke through to the late stage of the second tier, which means that its wood element has caught up.

The Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle have also undergone significant changes. One of the Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle has broken through to the mid-stage of the second tier, while the other three have reached the peak of the early stage of the second tier.

The remaining eight Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle that underwent two evolutions all showed significant improvement.

Especially in terms of intelligence, he is far superior.

Now each one brings Ye Jingcheng a clear idea.

The Golden-Scaled Beast was still breaking through, but its face showed extreme urgency, which it had previously expressed, unlike the Golden-Scaled Beast Peachwood Demon.

Even during its bloodline advancement, the Wood Demon's roots can still move, and as it takes root in various places, it can still release some soul power.

It's alright.

Only the Golden-Scaled Beast, breathing heavily, seemed to have its rhythm amplified by the enhancement of its Divine Soul.

Faced with the various scenes, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he had sensed it in time.

At this moment, he finally understood why the longer the demonic Demon Beast stayed in the Ye Family, the more intelligent they became.

This is because their Divine Soul may have undergone a second Soul Infusion, thereby enhancing their intelligence and cultivation strength.

For example, the Ye Family's Scarlet-Gold Roc, Plum Blossom Plum Feather Crane, and Turtle Ancestor

Even the Earth Dragon Demon King, despite the Golden Lizard's apparent lack of intelligence, subtly suppressed the Three-Eyed Demon King and the Cloud Lion Demon King in the Taihang Mountain Range.

In fact, the possibility that the other party might be willing to submit again is precisely because of the Beast-Link Tower.

Of course, once Ye Jingcheng calmed down, he also realized that although he had gained a lot from this Soul Infusion, he had consumed too much soul power. He felt that he had seemingly exhausted the Beast-Link Tower that time.

It should be noted that the Beast-Link Tower two main sources: the harvest from Moonwatch Lake and the harvest from the Azure Cloud Sea Region of the Eastern Sea.

Clearly, the cost of the second Beast-Link Tower was much higher than the first.

Moreover, because he absorbed too much of the Treasure Book, it was almost completely depleted.

Ye Jingcheng's curiosity about the Lineage 'Beast-Link Tower grew, and he climbed another step.

No wonder the Ye Family is extremely cautious about the Beast-Link Tower.

Meanwhile, the Taiyi Sect and the Cultivation World of various countries have never stopped searching for the Beast-Link Tower.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat curious about Beast-Link Tower actually was.

Law Treasure? Spirit Treasure? Or Innate Spirit Treasure?

This is the information he found in ancient books, but it doesn't seem to match the Beast-Link Tower at all.

However, for him, this second Soul Infusion was incredibly rewarding.

The intelligence of all the Spirit Beast has increased. The Four-Colored Cloud Deer and the Soil-Turning Earthworm have successfully broken through ahead of schedule. The Jade Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Crimson Flame Fox have also grown significantly. There are also the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and the Golden Falcon. The only ones that are unknown are the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Peachwood Demon.

Of course, besides that, Ye Jingcheng's biggest gain was the expansion of the Beast-Link Mark.

From this day forward, he will be able to use various Secret Method with greater ease, such as the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's Mist Escape Technique, the Crimson Flame Fox's Fireball Technique, the Golden-Scaled Beast's Stone Armor Technique, the Wood Demon's Wood Growth Ability, and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer's Wood Vine Technique, and so on.

Now he regrets not Beast Communion Stone Spirit beforehand.

It's just a matter of timing and fate.

The rest of the Ye Family couldn't possibly remind him, because all he showed was a Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark.

In addition Beast Communion five Spirit Beasts with the Five Phases attributes.

Beast Communion would put a strain on the Beast-Link Mark.

But in fact, he also has a Seven-inch Beast-Link Mark.

Now that the Beast-Link Mark has widened so much, he could Beast Communion ten or more Spirit Beast without any problem.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng would not casually Beast Communion at this moment, Beast Communion would grow stronger and their carrying capacity would increase.

Right now, only second-tier Spirit Beast are viable, but in the future, they'll all be third-tier, or even Fourth Stage, and things will be different then.

As for the third Soul Infusion, Ye Xuecang had mentioned it once. If Ye Jingcheng wanted to do it again, he would have to wait until he reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion.

Otherwise, not only would it waste the soul power of the Beast-Link Tower, but the enormous Beast Soul could tear him apart and kill him.

The pain of that moment was no less than the pain of one's soul being shattered.
