The Might of Purple Moon Heartflame; the Jade Ring's Choice

As the Array was unveiled, a wave of heat rushed out, followed by flashes of three-colored flames within the room.

There were crimson flames soaring into the sky, raging Azure Sun Flame burning fiercely, and finally, an eerie purple fire!

The room was filled with firelight, but it did not catch fire.

This doesn't mean the Spirit Flame is weak; rather, it means that even now, the Crimson Flame Fox still has control over it.

At the end of the firelight, there was a four-tailed fox with blue, purple, and red pupils.

The fox was enveloped in flames, and the spiritual net on its forehead became even clearer.

I initially thought it was some kind of spiritual network, but I discovered it was clearly the spiritual image of an uncovered Pill Furnace.

It not only trapped the Azure Sun Flame, but also the Purple Moon Heart Flame.

"Chirp!" The Crimson Flame Fox waved its four tails and called out as usual.

But this time, the excitement was even greater, the jubilation even stronger!

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also took the Crimson Flame Fox into his Grotto-Heaven, because the courtyard at this moment was not enough to fully display the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox was also restraining itself.

For Spirit Beasts, if they break through to a higher level, they may experience a disruption in their demonic energy if they don't properly demonstrate or vent their power.

Upon entering the Grotto-Heaven, one sees the Crimson Flame Fox instantly grow several times larger, transforming into the size of a small room.

Even compared to when he first broke through to the Purple Mansion, he was now a full size larger.

Of course, what's even more dazzling are the Crimson Flame Fox's four tails, which sway in the wind and are also adorned with three-colored flames, their heat astonishing.

Its aura had also reached the mid-stage of the third-tier Purple Mansion.

As Ye Jingcheng and the Crimson Flame Fox entered, the other Spirit Beast also gathered around. The first to surround them were the starving Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Golden-Scaled Beast, which still wanted to advance its level.

Then came the Golden Falcon that flew by, along with the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, and a group of Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and Moon Spirit Clam!

"Chirp!" The Crimson Flame Fox didn't need Ye Jingcheng to remind it to show its strength; its gaze instantly fixed on the Golden-Scaled Beast.

Suddenly, the Crimson Flame Fox's pupils transformed into an eerily beautiful Purple Moon.

It keeps rotating inside.

Call!

Roar!

Two sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and suddenly, incredibly dense purple flames appeared on the Golden-Scaled Beast's body.

This purple flame seemed to ignite out of thin air, a heart-flame, born from the heart!

Furthermore, the Golden-Scaled Beast's eyes transformed into purple moons, as if it had fallen into an illusion.

After a while, the golden scales of the Golden-Scaled Beast were burned through, and only then did the Golden-Scaled Beast react in response to the pain.

It roared furiously and spat out its Earth-Scale Seal!

As the Earth-Scale Seal was released, more layers of golden armor covered it.

At that moment, the purple flames finally stopped.

Of course, even though the fire stopped, the Golden-Scaled Beast did not stop.

Revenge!

Naked revenge.

This is clearly the Crimson Flame Fox retaliating against its breakthrough!

But how could the Golden-Scaled Beast swallow such retaliation?

In its view, only it can retaliate; who can retaliate against it?

Therefore, the Earth-Scale Seal slammed directly towards the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Earth-Scale Seal it has condensed has also changed dramatically. Three years ago, it was just a seal that looked like a Qilin, but today it looks golden and the Qilin's head is clearer, seemingly containing terrifying spiritual power.

It's faster, and the gravity effect from the yellow aura is stronger!

When it lands in the air, it becomes even more overwhelming, blotting out the sun.

This also gave the Golden-Scaled Beast confidence; it hadn't been lying around for the past three years.

Just then, the Crimson Flame Fox's tail swayed again.

At that moment, it transformed into eight fox shadows.

Moreover, unlike the previous four fox shadows, three of them were fake.

This time, there were three extremely terrifying paths.

One was formed from the Azure Sun Flame, another from the Purple Moon Heart Flame, and the third from the Crimson Flame Fox's true form, all heading towards the Golden-Scaled Beast from four directions.

The fox shadows that the Earth-Scale Seal struck were all illusions.

Of course, under Ye Jingcheng's perception, he discovered that the Crimson Flame Fox's true fox body could leap at high speed within these shadows.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but gasp. This kind of Secret Method was truly powerful because it was impossible to detect.

And the power of the flames is even more astonishing.

Even the slightest ripples from the waves caused Ye Jingcheng's expression to change.

Not to mention the other Spirit Beast, they all retreated several steps at this moment.

"Roar!" Seeing this, the Golden-Scaled Beast was furious, but there was nothing it could do!

It immediately started darting around; if it couldn't be provoked, it would hide.

As it dodged, countless golden shields appeared around it, and the scales on its body became even thicker.

One layer upon another.

Even those flames couldn't instantly break through the golden light shield of the Golden-Scaled Beast.

Seeing this, the Golden-Scaled Beast became smug. Its golden light flowed continuously, and unless the Crimson Flame Fox activated its Azure Sun Flame, it could not be burned to death!

Ye Jingcheng also noticed that at this moment, the Crimson Flame Fox was also breathing in a special way, its whole body moving.

"Chirp!" When the Crimson Flame Fox saw that the Golden-Scaled Beast was no longer dodging and was only using its spirit shield to withstand the attack, it lost interest. After all, it couldn't possibly burn the Golden-Scaled Beast to death.

He then extinguished the flames and began to whisper to Ye Jingcheng.

Finally, it shrank even further, transforming back into a small, crimson fox, even its tail changed from four tails to one.

Then he ran towards Ye Jingcheng.

If Ye Jingcheng hadn't just witnessed the fox's domineering presence, Ye Jingcheng would have thought that what was in front of him was just an ordinary little Red Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox's ability to transform had increased significantly once again.

"Not bad!" Ye Jingcheng picked up the Crimson Flame Fox, stroked its forehead, felt its warmth, and continuously channeled its Treasure Radiance into it.

In the past, the Golden-Scaled Beast would roar loudly, dissatisfied with Ye Jingcheng's order of feeding the Treasure Radiance.

Today, however, it was unusually quiet, though his eyes were still filled with resentment.

After feeding the Crimson Flame Fox two pages of Treasure Radiance, Ye Jingcheng fed it a Mystic Flame Pill Crimson Flame Fox help it consolidate its cultivation.

Then he looked at Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

Over the past three years, Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's cultivation speed has also increased even more.

This is why Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm was slower. After all, the difference between the Wood and Water phases is significant, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon also has a breathing technique, even without Ye Jingcheng's elixir and Treasure Radiance.

All are extremely impressive.

"Roar, Master, I'm hungry!" When the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon saw Ye Jingcheng looking over, it opened its huge mouth repeatedly, revealing a mouthful of saliva, as if to show Ye Jingcheng its empty stomach.

"Before you went into seclusion, I left you quite a few Beast Corpse!" Ye Jingcheng frowned and reprimanded.

Without hesitation, he took out the carcass of a juvenile sea shark and threw it into the mouth of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

Then he threw out a Water Attribute Blackwater Pill and a lot of Treasure Radiance.

Although the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was a bit of a rip-off and a bit of a glutton, its cultivation progress and strength were absolutely unparalleled.

"Roar, thank you, Master!" After eating the Spirit Cuisine and the Treasure Radiance, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon fell into the spiritual lake with great satisfaction.

Ye Jingcheng then fed the Golden Falcon and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer Spirit Cuisine, elixirs, and precious Treasure Radiance. Neither of them showed much change, especially the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, whose strength progressed only moderately.

If he doesn't find the advanced Essence Blood of the Four-Colored Cloud Deer soon, Ye Jingcheng even doubts that he will be able to break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion.

After feeding the two beasts in order, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. The four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle were undoubtedly at the front, and all four had reached the peak of the second tier.

Just one step away: devouring Thunder Attribute inner core to break through to the third tier.

Their enormous silver cloaked wings and menacing thunder rhinoceros horn made them the most eye-catching creatures.

The cultivation levels of the remaining sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle remained unchanged, as if they had lost much of their potential due to Ye Jingcheng's nurturing.

To Ye Jingcheng's great delight, the remaining 180 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had all reached the late stage of the first tier.

Especially the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle King, which was at the peak of the first tier.

It could break through to the second tier at any time.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately took out a first-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Pill to help the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle King advance to the next level.

If all goes well, this Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle might be able to break through to the second tier even without a second-tier Thunder Attribute demon core.

Moreover, this Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle King is his main Blood Pact, so he has no worries about it being disobedient. As for the other late-stage Tier 1 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, Ye Jingcheng plans to wait a while until he has trained them well before advancing them to higher levels of control.

Once the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle King transformed into lightning, it began its breakthrough.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the Roc Fish with satisfaction. The Roc Fish was already at the peak of the early stage of the second tier, not far from the middle stage of the second tier, and could break through at any time by consuming the second-tier Roc Fish Pill.

Ye Jingcheng then took out the second-tier Roc Fish Pill he had prepared beforehand and used it to help the Roc Fish break through to the next level.

Ye Jingcheng then went to the Moon Spirit Clam clan and collected the Moon Spirit Pearl that had been born in the past three years.

These Moon Spirit Pearl can be exchanged for the Ye Family, allowing them to consume a batch of pills and significantly improve their cultivation.

In addition, Ye Jingcheng also focused on investing in the Treasure Radiance and spirit pills of several young spirit shells that had advanced once.

After examining the Moon Spirit Clam, Ye Jingcheng's gaze finally fell on the Jade Ring Rat and the Soil-Turning Earthworm in the far corner.

The Soil-Turning Earthworm was already at the peak of the mid-stage of the second tier, while the Jade Ring Rat was still at the peak of the first tier.

Clearly, the Jade Ring Rat's breakthrough attempt failed.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng's gaze, the Jade Ring Rat now wanted to bury its head in the soil, just like Soil-Turning Earthworm.

But it couldn't; it just kept its head down, not daring to look at Ye Jingcheng, and even its huge Jade Ring earrings didn't flutter.

Its eyes were large and looked very weathered, just like the most ordinary cultivator in the Cultivation World.

Despite our best efforts, things often don't go as planned.

Even among Ye Jingcheng's group of Spirit Beast, it was in the same batch as the Crimson Flame Fox, and it was located at the very edge.

In the past, it had even hoped for a magic pill or some Treasure Radiance.

Now it would rather be one of the many Mountain-Devouring Rat in the bamboo forest of Soaring Cloud Peak, or perhaps it would rather contribute itself in one of the Ye Family's spiritual fields.

"Why did you give up? You were able to comprehend the breathing technique and you're Demon Cultivator. Just because you swallowed Demon Beast Core and didn't break through, you gave up?" Ye Jingcheng said softly.

The Jade Ring Rat also raised its head.

Its eyes were filled with curiosity.

But then Ye Jingcheng threw over another Foundation Establishment.

"Since you are Demon Cultivator, you should focus on Foundation Establishment, Condensing the Core, and Forming the Nascent Soul..." After saying this, Ye Jingcheng stopped paying attention to the Jade Ring Rat.

The Foundation Establishment was given to the Jade Ring Rat; whether or not to eat the Jade Ring Rat was up to the rat itself.

Ye Jingcheng gave the Spirit Beast its inner core earlier to verify his hypothesis.

Now he also knows that it is extremely difficult for Spirit Beast to break through if it lacks the potential.

Even if one is on the verge of a breakthrough and possesses Spirit Beast's inner core.

Only by practicing breathing techniques can this be changed.

For Ye Jingcheng, if the breathing technique of the Jade Ring Rat could be successfully implemented, the entire Ye Family might be able to select some highly intelligent Spirit Beast with learning abilities to pass on the breathing technique.

This increases the upper limit of the Ye Family's Spirit Beast.

Of course, if the Jade Ring Rat is unwilling to try again, he will respect its Jade Ring Rat. On Soaring Cloud Peak, Ye Jingcheng will find it eight or ten female rats.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Wood Demon and the Stone Spirit.

Their cultivation levels are still the same as they were ten years ago, and it will be extremely difficult to improve them without finding a suitable method for nurturing them.

After all, Wood Demon have a longer lifespan than Spirit Beast, and their cultivation is slower.

Although the cultivation process is slow, four peaches the size of fists are already hanging on the peach tree.

This peach is the Life-Extending Spirit Peach Peachwood Demon condensed after advancing twice.

This made Ye Jingcheng's breathing a little rapid, because this spirit peach could extend one's lifespan by a full twenty years.

It only ripens once every ten years.

The only pity is that he has been in seclusion for too long in recent years, which has resulted in him losing less of the Treasure Radiance of the Peachwood. Originally, it could have produced five or six spirit peaches, but in the end, it only produced four.

"Master, the Peachwood has disappointed you!" At this moment, the Peachwood Demon also seemed somewhat dejected.

In its view, it performed the worst when it should have performed best.

How can I get a third chance to advance?

That's why it didn't actively seek out Ye Jingcheng after he entered the Grotto-Heaven Ye Jingcheng.

Stone Spirit felt a pang of guilt for not finding the Peachwood.

In its view, the reason why Peachwood trees bear few fruits is because it has few trees under its spiritual light.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was actually overjoyed at that moment.

In his view, he had neglected Treasure Radiance over the years, so it was reasonable for him to have three.

Having four now means that the Wood Demon and Stone Spirit have definitely done their best.

In particular, his Soul Pact allows him to sense the thoughts of the Wood Demon and the Stone Spirit.

Although he was inwardly delighted, Ye Jingcheng remained outwardly calm.

"Try harder next time!" Ye Jingcheng said, and still input two pages of Treasure Radiance into the Wood Demon and Stone Spirit.

This immediately made both of them jump for joy.

The spirit of the Peachwood Demon emerged from the tree once more, the Stone Spirit condensed into a Daoist robe spirit, and finally even the Flesh Ganoderma came out.

As spiritual practices, these three have clearly been combined.

However, Ye Jingcheng didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. These three spiritual cultivators could maintain order in the Grotto-Heaven and distribute spiritual pills and Spirit Cuisine at crucial moments.

Moreover, Stone Spirit's own exploration of his own Grotto-Heaven had not stopped, which made Ye Jingcheng quite satisfied.

Next, Ye Jingcheng inspected the Spirit Eye Spring and the spirit medicine.

The Purple Jade Vine is still growing very well, while the Dragon Whisker Fruit is growing slightly worse.

Clearly, with the Spirit Beast within the Grotto-Heaven all employing breathing techniques, their absorption of Spiritual Qi has increased significantly.

The previous First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Vein and the Stone Spirit's absorption of external energy are no longer sufficient.

Ye Jingcheng needs to purchase a higher-level Spirit Gathering Formation, set up spirit-attracting Spirit Stone, and upgrade the Spirit Vein within the Grotto-Heaven to the second-tier level.

With that thought in mind, Ye Jingcheng also left the Grotto-Heaven, concealing his cultivation level, and headed towards the underground hall of the Purplewood Sect!
