The Heavenly Insect's Wrath, Return to Yan Kingdom
On Purplewood Island, the scorching heat of the day seems to have dissipated all its warmth, but at night, the entire island becomes as cool as water.
A few apricots hung on the tree, set against the faint starlight.
Under the long moon, the shadows are also lengthened.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingyu, and an old man were sitting facing each other.
The Blue Wave Wine rippled among the three, and for a moment, glasses clinked and toasts were exchanged, causing everyone's faces to flush slightly.
The old man was none other than Ye Haiping, who had previously guarded the Treasure Pavilion on Soaring Cloud Peak. He had long since Foundation Establishment and had been hiding in the Lineage's Treasure Pavilion.
However, because of the last Beast Tide, the Clan Elder faked their deaths and came here.
For Ye Xingyu and Ye Haiping, they naturally missed the mountains and rivers of Soaring Cloud Peak and their clansmen.
Unlike before when they established Hidden Peak in the Taihang Mountain Range, they could return at any time.
However, movement within the Azure Cloud Sea Region is not free.
It's not that the Teleportation Array is unstable, but rather that the cost of a single teleportation is quite high, and it's not something that ordinary members of the tribe would waste unless absolutely necessary.
Furthermore, it's quite inconvenient to have to conceal the transmission fluctuations.
"Jingcheng, when you go back this time, please bring us some Purple Sand Wine. This is the real standard Hainan wine. Don't let your Uncle Xingqun drink fake Hainan wine again!" Ye Xingyu said with a smile.
Although Blue Wave Wine is named after the meaning of "Azure Waves," it is quite different from the wine from the real Azure Cloud Sea Region.
That liquor was simply strong.
That's why the Mo Family had been promoting it all along; no wonder other Lineage didn't believe the Mo Family had a branch in the sea area back then.
At the same time, Ye Xingyu's words also revealed a hint of nostalgia for the days when the four of them would go to the poisonous bees to collect Poison Thorn Fruit, then drink wine in the bamboo forest and listen to the rain falling.
"Definitely, definitely!" Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly.
However, his gaze was still fixed on his eighth grandfather Ye Haiping.
Ye Haiping simply drank today and didn't say a word.
He squinted, as if he were sitting in a rattan chair in the Treasure Pavilion, sipping tea, while his free hand unconsciously rubbed together, as if he were recording something on Jade Slip.
In the past, they would watch the sunset and see the Ye Family members return to their respective courtyards.
Now, we see the moon hanging high in the sky, and fishing boats going out or returning in the distance.
Occasionally glancing at Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingyu felt like stepping back into those days when they came to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for treasures and spiritual items, their demeanor both reserved and full of hope.
"Eighth Grandfather, back then, your Treasure Pavilion was the most mysterious and the best at hiding things," Ye Jingcheng suddenly said.
Ye Haiping smiled slightly.
"Eighth Grandfather never expected that the humble Jingcheng of yesteryear would become one of the top experts in the Ye Family in less than fifty years." Ye Haiping's eyes held pride, but also a touch of sadness at the fleeting nature of time.
For those Foundation Establishment who have no hope of reaching the Purple Mansion stage, the Ye Family is the most heartbreaking place.
It is said that the sixty-year mark is difficult to cross, but even if you cross the sixty-year mark, the Purple Mansion mark is equally difficult.
Normally, if someone reaches the Foundation Establishment Late Stage by the age of 180, it will be very difficult for them to break through to the Purple Mansion.
He was already over 130 years old, still in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Including those he had met at Soaring Cloud Peak, many of them were already old or had passed away.
That's why he rarely speaks.
But in fact, Ye Haiping and Ye Jingcheng talked quite a bit while they were in the Treasure Pavilion.
"Actually, Eighth Grandfather would like to see the day when Jingcheng forms his Nascent Soul!" After a moment of silence, Ye Haiping said with anticipation.
After saying that, she thought of Ye Jingcheng's imminent departure for Soaring Cloud Peak, where he would face the trials and tribulations of the Yan Kingdom alone:
"Jingcheng, on Soaring Cloud Peak, without the many Clan Elder around, you must remember to think twice before you act!"
"Young people have their advantages; they have foresight and drive, but sometimes they can be impulsive!"
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Eighth Grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.
"Moreover, my grandson will not only reach the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, but also lead the Ye Family to a level that even the kingdoms of the Eastern Region will not dare to underestimate. At that time, the Ye Family will no longer need to have Hidden Island, Teleportation Array can be used to teleport at will. The Ye Family members will no longer need to hide their identities..." Ye Jingcheng said solemnly.
Fueled by alcohol, it was as if they were making a vow, or a promise.
At this moment, even the moonlight seemed softer.
Under the moonlight, Ye Haiping smiled, and Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingyu smiled too.
It continued to blow gently in the breeze.
The sound of the waves gradually subsided.
Ye Jingcheng finally entered the Teleportation Array beneath the underground passage. He still entered through the seawater, and his form, under Tang Cheng's guise, changed back to its original appearance.
Sometimes, even the Divine Sense feels somewhat unaccustomed to its current appearance.
He replaced all his storage bracelets with Storage Bag, and he also carried many Jade Slip in his hand.
These Jade Slip contain a set of accompanying Cultivation Method.
The Ye Family acquired quite a few Silver Moon Python and Red Moon Python Spirit Beast, which would obviously allow them to break through to higher levels faster with Water Attribute Cultivation Method. Many of these Cultivation Method belonged to the Yun Family and the former Jade Chu Sect Cultivation Method.
This has enriched the Ye Family's Cultivation Method manual collection.
Among them are many low-grade and mid-grade Xuan-rank Cultivation Method, and basically, they can all be cultivated to the late stage of the Purple Mansion.
For the Ye Family, the Lineage's core assets are actually still in the Yan Kingdom.
Only when the Ye Family has more members and more people have Foundation Establishment will the Ye Family's future be stable.
Although there are many high-level cultivators in the Azure Cloud Sea Region, many cultivators may die at that time because Beast Tide could be triggered at any time.
It's important to understand that the Beast Tide in the Azure Cloud Sea Region is different from the Beast Tide in the Taihang Mountain Range. After all, the Beast Tide in the Taihang Mountain Range has the Earth Dragon Demon King, which is completely under the control of the Ye Family.
However, even the Ye Family could be overwhelmed by the Beast Tide in the Azure Cloud Sea Region if they were not careful.
Just then, several Black-Armored Scorpion emerged from the passage. Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng took out Black Scorpion Pill, condensed it into powder, and fed it to the Black-Armored Scorpion.
Several Black-Armored Scorpion immediately raised their huge tail hooks and swayed happily. After swallowing the powder, they led Ye Jingcheng into the passage.
At the end of the passage was a cave abode -like Stone Chamber, accompanied by the low hum of the Black-Armored Scorpion.
The Stone Chamber door opened, revealing Ye Xueliang's figure.
Ye Xueliang had clearly been guarding the Teleportation Array all along.
For ten years, Ye Jingcheng felt that Ye Xueliang hadn't changed at all; his appearance was the same as before, with a layer of coldness covering his weathered face.
"Fifteenth Grand Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng said respectfully.
Ye Xueliang's aura was noticeably stronger than before; he was now almost at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
However, Ye Jingcheng also knew that Water Attribute cultivators and Body Cultivator who came to the Azure Cloud Sea Region would grow faster.
After all, there are more Water Attribute Demon Beast here, and more Qi and Blood and items.
Ye Xueliang possessed both qualities, making him naturally even stronger.
"Jingcheng, are you going back to Soaring Cloud Peak?" Ye Xueliang asked calmly when he saw that it was Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng was not surprised by Ye Xueliang's expression. After all, his fifteenth great-uncle, like Ye Xinghan, was extremely obsessed with Spirit Insect Spirit Plant, and not so good at communicating with Lineage members.
She usually has a cold expression.
But in fact, he was extremely kind to the Ye Family members. Ye Jingcheng's Heaven -Heaven-Opening Divine Drum Insect Array came from Ye Xueliang.
"Yes." Ye Jingcheng nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Xueliang also began to take out array flags and set them up inside. As the array flags rotated, the walls of the Stone Chamber began to slide open, revealing a more sophisticated hall inside.
This is the teleportation hall where Ye Jingcheng teleported here earlier.
Inside the hall, the teleportation platform remained spotless, every array pattern polished to a shine, and six high-grade Spirit Stone were placed on the spirit slots.
"Jingcheng, let's wait for the dawn. At that time, the entire island will be drawn by purple qi, and the fluctuations in teleportation will be smaller!" Ye Xueliang said.
But after he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Jingcheng.
"How is your Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Bug Array training going?"
"Generally speaking, they're still at the stage of Insect King or Insect General!" Ye Jingcheng said.
"Why don't you let it out and take a look?" Ye Xueliang asked again.
Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed to hear this, knowing that Ye Xueliang was going to help him train the insect array.
As Ye Jingcheng raised his hand, all 180 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle appeared in front of him.
As can be seen, the formation of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Bugs has already taken initial shape.
Led by twenty more intelligent Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, each one was ferocious.
Ye Jingcheng has always fed these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle worms with blood, so even though they are only four or five years old, they are extremely ferocious.
With the nourishment of the Treasure Radiance, it glowed faintly, making Ye Xueliang's eyes light up.
"Good lad, your talent in Spirit Insect is so high!"
Ye Xueliang's eyes also showed a clear increase in excitement.
With a wave of his hand, nearly a hundred Black-Armored Scorpion rushed out.
These Black-Armored Scorpion were all two-winged Black-Armored Scorpion. Although only one hundred were taken out, these one hundred were completely covered in black armor, and their black eyes were full of ferocity and bloodlust. In terms of momentum, they were in no way inferior to Ye Jingcheng's one hundred and eighty Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.
On the contrary, the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle's gaze was somewhat fearful.
However, soon, under Ye Jingcheng's command, these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle began to gather lightning.
Meanwhile, the Black-Armored Scorpion all condensed dark light, which transformed into armor, making them appear even more bloodthirsty and Black-Armored Scorpion.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
It then charged directly at Ye Jingcheng's Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.
In its haste, the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle released its Thunder Drum Spirit Shadow, which slammed towards Ye Xueliang's swarm of Black-Armored Scorpion.
In an instant, the dark light dissipated, and large swarms of Black-Armored Scorpion were electrocuted and fell to the ground.
However, the Black-Armored Scorpion behind them charged into Ye Jingcheng's Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Formation with even greater ferocity.
The result was obvious: Ye Jingcheng's insect formation lost.
Apart from the initial thirty severely injured Black-Armored Scorpion, only a dozen or so were lost later.
However, as many as 130 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle were poisoned.
Ye Xueliang quickly withdrew the Black-Armored Scorpion Insect Formation.
"Your Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle are well-arranged and growing well, but they lack ferocity and flexibility!"
"We need more and fiercer defenders in front, and we can't use up all the lightning at once!"
"Moreover, insects that have been growing for four or five years shouldn't be this big!" Ye Xueliang said.
Then he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.
Inside were some insights into insect cultivation.
Moreover, there are several Secret Method Spirit Insect inside, one of which is called the Heavenly Insect Fury, which is the most tempting to Ye Jingcheng.
This Secret Method can make Spirit Insect more fearless and their spiritual power more violent in a short period of time.
"Thank you for your guidance, Fifteenth Uncle. Jingcheng will work even harder!" Ye Jingcheng nodded earnestly upon seeing this.
In fact, he only trained the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle for a little over six months at most, and that was intermittently on Dust-Hidden Island; the rest of the time he was in seclusion.
But in his view, he possessed the Treasure Radiance and constantly fed himself the Spirit Nurturing Pill, so his current state was naturally his own fault.
Then Ye Jingcheng also began to treat the Spirit Insect one by one.
Among the Clan Elder of the Ye Family, everyone knows that his spiritual power can heal Spirit Beast.
Therefore, he doesn't need to hide anything at this moment.
Even during the trial, quite a few Spirit Insect died.
More than ten Black-Armored Scorpion died, while only five or six Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle died.
This scene puzzled Ye Xueliang.
However, he still spoke up:
"Jingcheng, your 180 are still too many. You can reduce them to 120!"
Ye Jingcheng knew what Ye Xueliang meant.
It's about choosing the best from the best.
This ensures high power, and even if bred again, it will result in the birth of even better Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.
If a cultivator who cultivates insects is always concerned about the death of Spirit Insect, then that cultivator will not inspire fear in other cultivators, because the Spirit Insect they cultivate will certainly be equally timid and hesitant.
Ye Jingcheng had witnessed this before when the Golden Light Spirit-Extinguishing Locust.
"I heard you set up an Insect Valley on Soaring Cloud Peak. I have high hopes for you. I hope that when I go to Soaring Cloud Peak next time, I will see more than three powerful worm swarms!" Ye Xueliang finally said.
After saying that, he patted Ye Jingcheng on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction.
That look in his eyes was exactly the same as when Ye Haiyun saw Ye Jingcheng refining pills.
"Okay!" Ye Jingcheng nodded as well.
It was already almost dawn.
The Spiritual Qi of the entire island began to gather, clearly aiming to attract the rising purple qi.
Those who cultivate the Purple Qi Technique of the Purple Wood Sect are not only independent cultivators of the Purple Wood Sect, but many of them are also members of the Ye Family Hidden Island.
With such a commotion, Ye Xueliang also began to activate the Array.
Immediately, the teleportation platforms lit up one by one, and the Space Jade at the very center also began to emit a dazzling light.
Ye Jingcheng produced a teleportation talisman and stepped onto the platform.
The next moment, a dazzling white light enveloped Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng also felt a wave of dizziness wash over him again.
A moment later, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes. The first thing to look over from afar was not Ye Haicheng, nor the Earth Dragon Demon King, but a Vast Azure Turtle.
"Jingcheng, you brat, what have you been up to for so long in seclusion!" Turtle Ancestor's displeasure was palpable when he saw Ye Jingcheng arrive.
He blew on his white beard.
Then it stretched out its turtle head and reached for Ye Jingcheng's hand.
Clearly, they want Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Radiance.
Now he no longer begs Ye Jingcheng for the Beast Communion; he'll take any opportunity to benefit from its Treasure Radiance.
Ye Jingcheng also sensed that this Vast Azure Turtle had reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion.
"Let's go find Grandpa first, it's something important!" Ye Jingcheng said.
There was no safe Teleportation Array here, Array Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't use his Treasure Radiance.
The Teleportation Array is still located in a small ravine in Earth Dragon Valley. They used to worry about the Earth Dragon Demon King, but now that the Earth Dragon Demon King has become the Ye Family's Spirit Beast, they feel more at ease placing the Teleportation Array here.
Unless it's said that the Taiyi Sect attacked the Taihang Mountain Range.
However, the Taiyi Sect is currently preoccupied with its own problems and naturally cannot attack the Earth Dragon Valley. Whether it can even defend the Jade Dragon Valley is a question.
Moreover, it can be said that the Ye Family can freely Beast Communion the Spirit Beast of Earth Dragon Valley.
Ye Jingcheng lost out by asking the Earth Dragon Demon King for a chance to Beast Communion last time.
No wonder the Earth Dragon Demon King agreed so readily and even gave him a piece of his own shed scale; it turns out he had long planned to cooperate with the Ye Family Beast Communion.
Now, he can communicate with any of the Demon Beast in Earth Dragon Valley he Beast Communion, so he naturally won't need that opportunity anymore.
Ye Jingcheng led the disgruntled Turtle Ancestor to the cave abode next door, where Ye Haicheng seemed to have just finished practicing his Body Refining Cultivation Method, with some body-refining fluid still remaining on his body.
