Treasure-Linking Art Comprehended, One-Breath Blood Soul Pearl

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and inside the Grotto-Heaven, the blazing sun shone warmly.

On the high platform of the mountain peak, with the final tadpole-shaped Spirit Patterns of dark silver, he achieved complete enlightenment.

A total of thirty-six Spirit Patterns evolved into a long spiritual incantation, which emitted a mysterious spiritual light, empowering the sea of consciousness.

This immediately gave Ye Jingcheng a mysterious and ancient aura.

A feeling of comfort and ease washed over my entire body, as if I had achieved a breakthrough.

"I finally understand!" Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

While marveling at the arduousness of the Treasure-Linking Art, he also discovered that his own Divine Soul had increased significantly. Although it hadn't reached the peak of the third tier of Divine Sense power, it wasn't far off.

It is evident that his year of practicing the Treasure-Linking Art had been of considerable help to him.

He stood up and put away the Purple Jade Cold Bed.

His ability to move so quickly was actually related to the Purple Jade Cold Bed, which greatly reduced the pain of comprehension.

Otherwise, his progress might be a quarter slower.

After descending the mountain peak, his gaze swept across the entire Grotto-Heaven.

Before returning to Soaring Cloud Peak, he upgraded the Spirit Veins within the Grotto-Heaven again. Now the Spirit Veins are completely stable, and with the amplification from the Spirit Eye Spring, the Spirit Veins within the Grotto-Heaven are no worse than mid-grade second-tier Spirit Veins.

Although it's still not worth mentioning, it's much better than before for Ye Jingcheng.

In addition, the Stone Spirit can draw Spiritual Qi from Soaring Cloud Peak, so even though all the Spirit Beasts have increased their demand for Spiritual Qi, they can still barely maintain the operation of the Grotto-Heaven.

"Congratulations, Master!" The Peachwood Demon rushed over immediately, followed by the other Spirit Beasts.

Even the Jade Ring Rat and the Soil-Turning Earthworm were in the back row.

The Soil-Turning Earthworm advanced once again, and the Jade Ring Rat also broke through to the second tier. The two beasts became much more confident and were no longer like before, where they wouldn't move even if Ye Jingcheng came out, but would just stare longingly.

At this moment, only the Roc Fish was in the process of advancing to the second tier.

As is customary, Ye Jingcheng infused all the Spirit Beasts with Treasure Radiance.

Because of his seclusion, he didn't have many spirit pills and could only get some Spirit Beast meat.

After inputting the Treasure Radiance, Ye Jingcheng left Soaring Cloud Lake. Now, all he needed to do was retrieve the Spirit Treasure and bring back the Earth Dragon Demon King, and he would no longer need to hide in Soaring Cloud Lake.

He took out the Lineage Token, read the messages inside, and then left the Grotto-Heaven.

Ye Jingcheng did not linger, but flew directly towards the Taihang Mountain Range.

The war in Taiqing Commandery is currently even more intense, with some small Lineage already wiped out. The two sides are still at odds, with no sect cultivators taking action.

The Ye Family is doing alright for now, but Ye Jingcheng himself cannot afford to delay.

Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Boat was a third-tier Treasure Ark crafted by Ye Haicheng, and it was extremely fast.

They soon arrived at Earth Dragon Valley. Ye Jingcheng took out the token given to him by the Earth Dragon Demon King and then entered the valley where the Ye Family's Teleportation Array was located.

Currently, the Teleportation Array is still guarded by two people, Ye Haiyan and Ye Haicheng.

Originally, Ye Haiping was also supposed to go, but Purplewood Island needed more Ye Family members to control it, and several family members broke through to the next level, so they went to Purplewood Island.

Since the Earth Dragon Demon King already belongs to their own people, there's no need for so many clansmen to guard this Teleportation Array.

One person is needed to maintain the Teleportation Array, and one person with the power of the Purple Mansion is sufficient.

When Ye Jingcheng landed, Ye Haiyan was comprehending the Array, while Ye Haicheng was taking a medicinal bath.

"Great-Grandpa, Sixth Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng called out with a joyful expression.

"Jingcheng, it's done?" Ye Haiyan and Ye Haicheng were both incredibly surprised.

According to Ye Xuecang, it would take at least two years for Ye Jingcheng to come looking for them.

And now, all things considered, only a year and a half has passed.

"It's done!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

From the information he received, it was clear that the situation was extremely urgent. Ye Jingteng had urged him twice more via telepathy that year!

"Jingcheng, this is Storage Bag that your second uncle is going to give you. This Storage Bag is enchanted with Array, so you must not let it leak out of your body!" Ye Haicheng took out a Storage Bag and threw it to Ye Jingcheng.

The Storage Bag was extremely secure, and it was also equipped with a powerful Array.

Even an ordinary person would likely need several days to dispel the Array after obtaining the Storage Bag.

"Thank you so much, Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed to see this.

Clearly, since he hadn't replied to any messages during his long seclusion, Ye Xuecang had retrieved the Spirit Treasure ahead of time.

Ye Jingcheng was no less careful with this Spirit Treasure than he was with the Beast-Link Tower.

That's why the Eight Desolations Sect was destroyed back then!

Ye Jingcheng placed the Storage Bag directly into the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven.

This treasure can only be refined within the Grotto-Heaven.

Then Ye Jingcheng took out the Turtle Ancestor.

After reuniting Turtle Ancestor and Ye Haicheng, he immediately headed towards the Dragon Palace of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

"Dragon Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng arrived at the destination and switched to walking.

When they landed in front of the giant dragon's mouth in the Dragon Palace, they stopped and called out softly.

However, there was no immediate reply.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry.

Ye Jingcheng's three Spirit Beasts all know the breathing technique.

The Earth Dragon Demon King must also know how to do it, since he has consumed the Heavenly Dragon Fruit.

Breathing techniques, like cultivation Cultivation Methods, can be complex or simple.

Like the Jade Ring Rat, it can complete a full Spirit Absorption Breath in just over ten breaths.

However, it takes about 15 minutes to train creatures like the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon takes the longest, requiring three-quarters of an hour.

The Earth Dragon Demon King has reached the Golden Core Peak; Ye Jingcheng estimates it could take one or two hours.

About fifteen minutes later, a sound was heard:

"Come in!"

Ye Jingcheng followed the sound and entered. He saw the Earth Dragon Demon King, dressed in a golden robe, still standing there, with the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree behind it.

It seems to be trying to comprehend the Heavenly Dragon Qi of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng greatly.

"Sometimes I can't help but envy the talent of you cultivators!" The Earth Dragon Demon King was clearly aware of the Ye Family's Spirit Treasure.

Because it was originally Spirit Beast of the Ye Family.

"You flatter me, Dragon Ancestor. It's nothing more than taking advantage of the shade planted by our ancestors." Ye Jingcheng shook his head, still appearing very humble.

But deep in his eyes, he found it increasingly difficult to understand this Earth Dragon Demon King.

The Earth Dragon Demon King's sigh wasn't a genuine compliment, but rather a way of telling him that it couldn't comprehend the Heavenly Dragon Qi of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree.

This made Ye Jingcheng feel like he was trying too hard to hide something.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn't say much. Right now, he was thinking about how to get past Tianfu True Person. As for the Earth Dragon Demon King, before breaking through to the Nascent Soul, the latter was quite trustworthy.

"I understand what you're worried about. So, what about these past few days..." the Earth Dragon Demon King inquired.

"We hope that the Dragon Ancestor will remain hidden in Leaf God Valley these days!" Ye Jingcheng said.

The Earth Dragon Demon King must know about Leaf God Valley in the Turtle Ancestor Grotto-Heaven. This is also a euphemism to allow the Earth Dragon Demon King to enter the Grotto-Heaven of the Vast Azure Turtle.

"Alright!" The Earth Dragon Demon King agreed without hesitation.

"However, you'll have to wait three hours for me to arrange things at Earth Dragon Valley!" the Earth Dragon Demon King added.

"Of course, I'm sorry to have troubled Dragon Ancestor during this time. I will return to the Eastern Sea once Jingcheng have finished my business in the Yan Kingdom!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

After saying that, he headed towards where Ye Haicheng was.

It seemed that Turtle Ancestor had another argument with Ye Haicheng, and was now tugging at his beard, sulking.

Ye Haiyan continued studying the Array from the side.

"Grandpa, I'd like to ask if there are any powerful demons with the Thunder Attribute in the nearby mountains?" Ye Jingcheng inquired.

His Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle is now close to breaking through, but if he waits naturally, it will take quite some time.

However, if one possesses the inner core of a third-tier Thunder Attribute Demon Beast, the speed will definitely be significantly faster.

In addition, since he was already planning to cause trouble for the Azure Hidden Deer, if he could also obtain information about Thunder Attribute Demon Beasts, he wouldn't mind dealing with both of them.

"There is one Thunder Attribute Demon Beast, but it's a late-stage third-tier demonic beast. Jingcheng, I advise you not to act rashly!" Ye Haicheng replied with a frown.

Even Ye Haicheng himself wasn't confident he could withstand a late-stage, third-tier Thunder Attribute demon.

In his view, Ye Jingcheng was nothing more than a cultivator who had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm!

"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I also need to kill one or two powerful demons, and we must press forward again at Jade Dragon Valley Pass!" Ye Jingcheng said.

The Azure Wind Wolf King and the Azure Demon Emperor cannot be moved, but the Three-Eyed Demon King and the Cloud Lion Demon King can still be suppressed in front of Red Glow Ridge.

This would save the Taiyi Sect from allocating more Golden Elixir to Soaring Cloud Peak.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng's only worry was that the Taiyi Sect had sent more than one Golden Core cultivator.

Therefore, Jade Dragon Valley should be under pressure before Tianfu True Person makes his move.

The pressure on Taiqing Commandery will be even greater.

Ye Jingcheng needs to make plans, at least for the time being.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death is not Ye Jingcheng's style.

"Behind the previous Moonwatch Lake, there is a Thunder Roc Valley, and the Thunder Roc is there!" Ye Haicheng told Ye Jingcheng upon hearing this.

"But when we go, I'll go with you. It's unlikely anything will happen here in Earth Dragon Valley!" Ye Haicheng was still a little worried.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.

After saying that, Ye Jingcheng took out the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven. He needed to refine the Spirit Treasure into his body as soon as possible so that he could feel safe.

Once inside the Grotto-Heaven, Ye Jingcheng closed Grotto-Heaven and then took out a magic array, placing it on the mountain where he was cultivating.

After everything was finished, Ye Jingcheng took out a few drops of the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk.

Even Ye Jingcheng was a little nervous about refining Spirit Treasure for the first time.

Then he took out his Storage Bag and began to break the magic arrays on it one by one.

The array on this is somewhat similar to the array at Lingyun Lake of the Ye family. Although Ye Jingcheng doesn't know how to break it or is unfamiliar with array formations, his patriarch's token is just the right thing to do.

As the golden dragon of the Golden Dragon Token emitted golden light, the Array on the Storage Bag was deactivated, and Ye Jingcheng recognized the Storage Bag as his own.

Once the Divine Sense entered the Storage Bag, a dark crystal bead could be seen falling into the space.

This crystal bead, only the size of a fist, exudes a rich aura of soul power, clearly indicating it is a Spirit Treasure of the Divine Soul type.

Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense wanted to continue probing, but the next moment, it was suddenly sucked in by the soul pearl, startling him so much that he quickly severed his Divine Sense.

After activating the Treasure-Linking Art, his Divine Soul once again became ancient and mysterious.

At this moment, however, it easily surged into the Soul Pearl.

Within the Soul Pearl lies a sea of consciousness, also incredibly profound.

Ye Jingcheng took out the Soul Pearl and held it in his palm. He tried to channel his True Essence into it, but it didn't budge.

There has been no change whatsoever.

Clearly, to unleash more transformations from the Soul Pearl, one must comprehend more of the Treasure-Linking Art.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng also tried to activate the first level of the Treasure-Linking Art to store the Soul Pearl into his sea of consciousness.

As the Soul Pearl was put away, a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared in Ye Jingcheng's mind.

A gigantic black sphere was devouring the surrounding blood souls, and countless lives perished beneath this soul bead.

Ye Jingcheng even saw a shadow of the True Lord in it.

This gives a sense of the power of this treasure.

What's even more amazing is that as soon as Ye Jingcheng put away the Soul Pearl, the name of this treasure involuntarily came to mind.

"One-Breath Blood Soul Pearl!"

"Truly a miraculous Spirit Treasure!" Ye Jingcheng felt his sea of consciousness being enveloped by a black bead, which seemed somewhat similar to the sea of consciousness he had just entered.

This would almost completely ensure that Ye Jingcheng's sea of consciousness overlapped with Spirit Treasure's sea of consciousness.

Tianfu True Person wants to infiltrate, he must first break through the soul realm of the One-Breath Blood Soul Pearl.

He was then naturally safe.

After all, even if a cultivator has cultivated to the Golden Core stage, the Golden Core still cannot activate any Law Technique.

Only after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, when the Nascent Soul is reborn and its Technique Method are naturally perfected, can the Nascent Soul activate Secret Method.

Ye Jingcheng studied it for a while longer and discovered that the Blood Soul Pearl could also conceal one's aura.

He can freely transform his aura into either the early or late stages of the Purple Mansion.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivation!

For Ye Jingcheng, if he could keep this treasure, it could be considered a concealment artifact.

Ye Jingcheng also saw the second layer of the Treasure-Linking Art inside the Blood Soul Pearl.

However, this level of the Treasure-Linking Art has as many as seventy-two Spirit Patterns.

Even when comprehending the first Spirit Patterns, Ye Jingcheng felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet.

Even his Divine Soul felt as if it were about to explode.

Clearly, one cannot comprehend the second level of the Treasure-Linking Art before reaching the Golden Core stage of Divine Sense.

Thinking about this, Ye Jingcheng was a little puzzled as to why Ye Xuecang didn't use this treasure in the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

Ye Xuecang must have refined the second layer.

But after thinking about it, he guessed it was probably related to the people behind this treasure who were eyeing it.

His ability to operate only one level ironically became his best cover.

Moreover, he discovered that after refining the Treasure-Linking Art, he didn't need to consume much True Essence.

However, his Divine Soul would feel unusually full, which meant that he could keep the Blood Soul Pearl with him at all times.

Ye Jingcheng was completely satisfied; he no longer needed to worry about Tianfu True Person's ordeal.

After taking out a pill and recovering for a while, Ye Jingcheng left the Grotto-Heaven.

He spent about an hour refining and studying it.

Therefore, we still have to wait about two more hours for the Earth Dragon Demon King.

"Grandpa, do you feel any difference in me now?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"I can't see through you anymore!" Ye Haicheng said after observing for a long time.

"And now?" Ye Jingcheng asked immediately afterward.

"Similar to before, but it seems a bit more mysterious!" Ye Haicheng thought for a moment before replying.
