A Talk About the Immortal Path; High-Grade Spirit Stones

A few more days passed, Hidden Azure Island, the ethereal glow in the sky completely transformed into fiery clouds.

This means we're one step closer to a breakthrough.

A raging storm of Spiritual Qi seemed poised to pull everyone into it.

If it weren't for the fog obscuring it, this strange phenomenon would probably be clearly visible from thousands of miles away.

Moreover, on the mountain in the center of the island, a terrifying aura grew increasingly oppressive, indicating that both the Divine Soul and the physical body were undergoing a transformation.

"Everyone, let's go!" Ye Xuefan glanced around, estimated the time, and then resolutely spoke.

The eight chosen individuals each selected a direction, entered the spirit shuttle, and plunged headlong into the sea.

With a flash of light, it quickly disappeared into the sea.

Ye Jingcheng was among them. He couldn't help but look back, where the white mist still lingered.

The ethereal mist and the storm seemed to exist entirely, clearly demonstrating the extremely sophisticated concealment of the Array.

His gaze deepened, and his expression became more serious; this place held immense significance for the entire Ye Family.

This concerns whether the Ye Family can produce a Golden True Person, and whether they can bring the Earth Dragon Demon King back to the Ye Family.

Once the Earth Dragon Demon King returns, the Second Ancestor of the Beast Communion will inevitably see his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

They could quickly reach the Late Golden Core, and perhaps even have the opportunity to transform into a Nascent Soul realm because of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Therefore, the seemingly light and airy white mist is actually related to the future of the entire Ye Family Lineage and countless ordinary people.

The fog stretched further and further into the distance, and the waves grew increasingly turbulent.

Ye Jingcheng's eyes hardened, and he stopped looking back, only to see Ye Haicheng staring at him.

The sound of waves crashing on both sides made the sun in the sky, seen from the seabed, appear exceptionally scorching.

Beams of light refracted into the sea, becoming slightly dazzling.

"Jingcheng, if something really happens, just take Turtle Ancestor with you!" Ye Haicheng became unusually pessimistic.

Just like how Ye Jingcheng's Heavenly River Pearl shattered Ye Haicheng's confidence a few days ago.

He took out a storage bracelet, and inside was the third-tier Spirit Boat that he had given to Ye Jingcheng during the Beast Tide in the Yan Kingdom.

He took it back after the last Beast Tide, and gave it to Ye Jingcheng again this time.

"The Gold Condensation Fruit Lineage planted in the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven. Currently, besides you, me, Starflow, only your Second Ancestor and fourth ancestors know about the Gold-Condensing Fruit Tree. The Turtle Ancestor will Beast Communion at that time."

"Grandpa, there's no need to say all this. The Lineage has already made such a good arrangement." Ye Jingcheng interrupted for the first time.

"These things must be said. You are different from the rest of the Lineage. Do you know why the Lineage has so many Hidden Peaks?" Ye Haicheng's expression changed, and he became more serious.

"That's because as time goes by, people's hearts will inevitably change. Now the Lineage is united as one, because everyone has some hope. If that hope is shattered, the rope may not immediately collapse, but then it will be like a rotten house, where some pillars will eventually fall, affecting the whole thing. The Second Ancestor and the Fourth Ancestor mean that you must shoulder the responsibility of this house!"

"So, this is to build momentum for you, but building momentum for you inevitably carries huge risks. I can't stop them, but I can protect you. Don't say anything else. The path to immortality is paved step by step. If you want to Foundation Establishment in Qi Refining, you need countless Qi Refining cultivators to test the waters ahead and become stepping stones. If you want to become Purple Mansion in Foundation Establishment, it is also paved with blood!"

"Our current success is the result of the groundwork laid by Lineage ancestors. If you want to go further, you need more Lineage members to pave the way for you."

"Don't feel guilty. If it were any other Lineage or other Rogue Cultivator, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to lay the groundwork."

"And that's why I'm letting you meet the Earth Dragon Demon King!"

"Therefore, if you encounter any danger on the island, you must remain rational. This is me informing you as your great-grandfather!"

"Whether you understand or not, I hope you will obey!" Ye Haicheng's voice grew louder and louder, his aura as vast and lofty as a mountain.

Ye Jingcheng believed that his cultivation level had surpassed Ye Haicheng's.

But now, he suddenly realizes that the charisma that comes with age is something he cannot question.

Ye Haicheng's eyes began to glare angrily, an expression he rarely showed.

Ye Jingcheng finally nodded.

He knew what Ye Haicheng meant.

I also know what Lineage means.

Within the Lineage, Spirit Beasts could be sacrificed, but Ye Haicheng did not want Ye Jingcheng to sacrifice Spirit Beast; he would rather sacrifice himself.

These Spirit Beasts were the aids Ye Jingcheng received in his path to enlightenment.

In his view, losing these Spirit Beasts would be like losing Ye Jingcheng's leg.

Ye Jingcheng had his own considerations in mind.

However, for now, Ye Haicheng should put his mind at ease.

Just as Ye Xuefan said before, they weren't without a chance this time.

By using the Array to hold off the Demon King for a while, or even by ultimately self-destructing the Array plate, the Demon King should at least be injured.

Of course, this is on the premise that other powerful demons cannot consume too much of the formation's power.

"Remember to be careful and cautious," Ye Haicheng said again, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

He didn't summon the Turtle Ancestor because he himself could Beast Communion and Spirit Control, but Ye Jingcheng was different; Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Beasts all came out individually.

Ye Jingcheng also released the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade Ring Rat.

The former refers to combat strength, and the latter to hearing. If the Roc Fish weren't still young and its cultivation level wasn't only at the mid-stage of the first rank, it would be a different story.

Ye Jingcheng would even release the Roc Fish, since the latter has an extremely strong sense of perception in the water.

The shuttle was very fast, and after five hours, it arrived at a relatively spacious island.

The island is extremely flat, with no high mountains or strange rocks.

It doesn't have much Spiritual Qi; its only advantage is its vastness.

Such islands are rare at sea.

After all, in terms of area, it already surpasses Purplewood Island.

"Let's go, let's go to the island. There aren't many Demon Beasts on this island, and there aren't many Demon Beast around either. This way we can buy ourselves some more time," Ye Haicheng explained casually.

They then went ashore on the island.

However, the two still wore the Spirit-Isolating Robes and activated the Great Turtle Aura-Hiding Art.

As for Ye Jingcheng's Jade Ring Rat Crimson Flame Fox, there's no need to worry about them. Wherever Demon Beasts appear, those great demons and Demon Kings won't bother to sense them.

Once on the island, Ye Haicheng began setting up the Array, this time with an unusually large number of array flags.

This was somewhat perplexing to Ye Jingcheng.

After all, the island has very little Spiritual Qi.

But soon, Ye Jingcheng understood why he had done so.

After setting up thousands of array flags and four array plates, covering a large portion of the central island, Ye Haicheng activated the array, forming a faint spiritual shield.

Subsequently, Ye Haicheng began burying Spirit Stones at some important junctures.

The Spirit Stones were buried in groups of hundreds, in more than thirty different locations, with a total number of Spirit Stones Spirit Stone ten thousand.

At the same time, Ye Haicheng also took out a crystal-clear and extremely dazzling Spirit Stone.

"A top-grade Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng recognized it at a glance.

He finally understood what this Array relied on.

This time, the Lineage is truly going all out.

Although the eight of them lured demons everywhere, they received no shortage of support from their Lineage, including priceless Array and various Spirit Talisman Law Treasures.

At the same time, he was also somewhat emotional, after all, Ye Xuecang's breakthrough this time probably consumed at least four or five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

This is still the result of the Lineage being able to refine the Gold Condensation Pill themselves.

Thinking about this, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat unsatisfied with his progress in earning Spirit Stones.

Once all the Spirit Stones were buried, the island instantly became rich in Spiritual Qi.

However, this ample time will disappear as the Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Stone is depleted.

This is actually an extreme waste of Spirit Stones, but for the Ye Family, it is the safest and most reliable method.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng activated another array flag, and Spiritual Qi began to appear in the very center.

Moreover, the increasing Spiritual Qi has elevated the island's Spiritual Qi to a new level.

"What is this?" Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

"A second-tier, high-grade Spirit Vein."

Clearly, the Lineage's cultivators had been here long ago, slaughtering everyone and then sealing the Spirit Veins to prevent the Spiritual Qi from leaking out.

Prepare well for today.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng became puzzled again about Ye Haicheng's idea of burying Spirit Stones.

After all, they could simply extract the Spirit Veins directly.

"You won't lose out!" Ye Haicheng said confidently, seemingly noticing Ye Jingcheng's expression.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng smiled with relief.

Really.

The Spirit Beasts will arrive at different times, and they can indeed reap rewards before the Demon King arrives.

He hadn't thought of it before, but he was a little nervous at the moment.

On the contrary, Ye Haicheng saw it more clearly.

This made him realize that in critical moments, one must have a clear mind.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but take a closer look at the third-tier great demons with Fire Attribute, Metal Attribute, and Wood Attributes.

The third-tier Advancement Pills and Essence Blood for the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon have been secured, but the other three have not.

If such Demon Beast appears this time, Ye Jingcheng will naturally need to pay more attention.

Ye Jingcheng had no interest in the Wood Demon and the Stone Spirit, as they required special Wood Hearts and special Stone Hearts, which would be extremely difficult to find.

It's not something that the Beast Tide can hope to obtain.

After setting up the large Array, Ye Haicheng took out some smaller formation plates.

Compared to the large array we just saw, these smaller array plates are much more flawed.

Even though Ye Jingcheng wasn't Array, he could still see some of it at this moment.

"Jingcheng, please set these up as well. However, these were all made by cultivators of the Purplewood Sect, so they're only effective against some low-level Demon Beasts!"

"Okay." Ye Jingcheng also began to set up the formation one by one. A layered Array could withstand the attack for a longer time.

Finally, Ye Haicheng took out another Spirit Talisman.

This Spirit Talisman was only the size of a palm, yet it was covered in blood-red light.

"This is Blood Escape Talisman, a secret talisman of the demonic path. After use, it allows one to escape ten miles away," Ye Haicheng explained.

Ye Jingcheng accepted it without hesitation and examined it closely. The Blood Escape Talisman was undoubtedly a high-grade third rank.

However, the Essence Blood used in it is actually Beast Blood.

This also gives him a buffer time to use the Array to self-destruct after the Demon King arrives.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng finally set up ten first-order Array and three second-order ordinary Array on the island.

These Array only slow down low-level Demon Beasts, since the allure of high-level Demon-Luring Grass is unparalleled.

After finishing these tasks, Ye Haicheng took out a large jade basin and filled it with Spirit Soil.

The aura of this Spirit Soil is even better than that of the Soil-Turning Earthworms born from Ye Jingcheng's earth turning over.

Ye Haicheng then poured in some more spiritual liquid, and finally planted a three-and-a-half-leaf Demon-Luring Grass.

"We can release the Spirit Beast now." Ye Haicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He also waved first, and immediately behind him appeared the Turtle Ancestor, Blood Hawk at the peak of the second tier, and Blazing Flame Lion at the late stage of the second tier.

Apart from Turtle Ancestor, Blood Hawk and Blazing Flame Lion have clearly exhausted their potential.

The other one that was exhausted was the Lizard Elder, which was also Ye Haicheng's former Spirit Beast. However, in order to make room for the Beast-Link Mark, the Blood Pact with the Lizard Elder was broken.

"Young Master Cheng, we meet again!" As soon as the Turtle Ancestor appeared, he looked at Ye Jingcheng and pinched his two white whiskers with his claws. His big eyes seemed to be asking Ye Jingcheng if he was interested in the Secret Method of the birth of spirit ore.

While asking the questions, he would occasionally glance at Ye Haicheng.

"This time it's for Second Uncle's protection!" Ye Haicheng said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Turtle Ancestor immediately became serious and stopped looking at Ye Jingcheng, becoming very focused.

It was as if the mere mention of its name was enough to make it tremble.

Ye Jingcheng then began to release his Spirit Beasts, including the Golden Falcon, Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, Golden-Scaled Beast, Four-Colored Cloud Deer, Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, Wood Demon.

Only within the Grotto-Heaven were left behind Stone Spirits and Soil-Turning Earthworm Flesh Ganoderma that lacked the ability to fight.

Upon seeing the Golden-Scaled Beast, which was covered in golden light and seemed to possess a breathing technique, the Turtle Ancestor clearly took a deep breath.

Then, upon seeing the Golden Falcon and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, they immediately turned their heads away.

It felt it couldn't watch anymore.

Even the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and the jade Jade Ring Rat seem inferior.

Ye Haicheng looked at the four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle with surprise and doubt. He had seen Ye Jingcheng's other Spirit Beasts, but he had never seen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle before.

These four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle front of it were difficult to spot without careful observation.

Moreover, it gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

The other Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles, however, seemed rather ordinary.

Ye Jingcheng's five main Spirit Beasts are arranged in five directions, while the Wood Demon sits in the center, leaning against Ye Jingcheng.

The original Peachwood piece was also brought out this time.

This was the first time Ye Jingcheng had fully demonstrated his strength.

"Master, don't worry, I will bring all the slain Demon Beasts here for you as soon as possible!" The face of the Peachwood Demon appeared on the tree trunk, as it was currently a vacuum period for producing spirit peaches.

Having just completed its advancement, becoming the number one tree in the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven was no longer enough for it.

It aims to become the first tree of all time.

Over the years, it has summarized four extremely core words.

Cling to the powerful!

In its eyes, all other Spirit Beasts were a waste of Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Stones. Now that it was thinking about Ye Jingcheng's wallet, its advantage instantly came into play.

When he glanced at the other Demon Beasts, he was also full of arrogance, looking down on them.

"No wonder I'm the only one in the very center!" the Wood Demon thought to himself.

Ye Jingcheng ignored the Wood Demon's thoughts at this moment and looked at Ye Haicheng to ask if any further arrangements were needed.

"Let's wait. When the time comes, we'll start catalyzing the Demon-Luring Grass!" Ye Haicheng said.

At this moment, the Demon-Luring Grass only has three and a half leaves; the other small leaf has been suppressed using a special Spirit Talisman.

This is to prevent the fourth leaf of the Demon-Luring Grass from maturing prematurely.
