The Shifting Situation, Spirit-Controlling the Wood Demon

At the entrance of Earth Dragon Valley, countless Golden Giant Lizard and Golden-Scaled Beast Armored Beast gathered.

They flew in the clouds, forming circles upon circles, and sometimes they would land together on the ground, making a rumbling running sound.

A great deal of sand was swept into the air by the huge commotion, making the sky above Earth Dragon Valley resemble a vast world of Huang Sha.

Loud roars of beasts echoed through the clouds.

Ye Haicheng heard the anxious voice from the Lineage Token, which naturally attracted a large number of beast cries from the Earth Dragon Valley.

With the siege of the Ye Family in jeopardy and the Beast Tide proving difficult to break, the greater the momentum, the better.

Ye Haicheng felt that wasn't enough, so he sent one of the late-stage Tier 3 Golden Giant Lizard toward Silver Moon Lake.

Of course, he didn't believe that the Golden Giant Lizard Demon could persuade the Silver Moon Demon King to launch Beast Tide.

Any sign of this would be advantageous to the Ye Family, but in the eyes of the Taiyi Sect, it would naturally be seen as a delaying tactic.

The third-tier demons of Earth Dragon Valley will not appear in large numbers; in fact, some will deliberately hide and head towards Jade Dragon Valley.

Make them think it's a feint attack.

Thus, the Ye Family could retain their clansmen at Soaring Cloud Peak, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't need to go to Jade Dragon Valley.

If Tianfu True Person is still worried, he can naturally come to Soaring Cloud Peak.

But that would be exactly what the Ye Family wanted.

"Haiyan, go to the Azure Cloud Sea Region and tell your second and fourth uncles that we might need their help here!" Even though Ye Haicheng was still somewhat unsure, he looked at Ye Haiyan and spoke.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan not only outstanding in strength, but also rich in experience. Sometimes, their judgment is more useful than their strength.

Even though the situation in the Azure Cloud Sea Region wasn't so good, after all, the Ye Family had three members in the Purplewood Sect who were breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

It also needs to be guarded.

But there was no other way; Ye Jingcheng carried the hopes of the Ye Family.

This can be seen from the fact that Ye Xuecang was willing to give the Spirit Treasure to Ye Jingcheng.

In Returning Goose Commandery, at West King Valley, West King True Person listened to the report from the Purple Mansion before him and fell into deep thought for a long time.

The person who reported this was named Shi Chen, a member of the Shi Family, a Golden Core Lineage in Returning Goose Commandery.

On the surface, the Shi Family is an affiliated Lineage, but in reality, they are just cultivators from the Green River Sect in disguise.

The Feather Transformation Sect members were also impersonating others back then.

The matter reported this time also concerns Taihang Commandery.

The mobilization in Taihang Commandery and the Beast Tide in Jade Dragon Valley have been going on for almost half a month.

The latest news is that their scouts have spotted the Earth Dragon Demon King of the Taihang Mountain Range joining the Beast Tide.

This Beast Tide may become the largest Beast Tide in history!

"We can't delay any longer. Regardless of whether the Earth Dragon Demon King has intervened or not, everyone needs to be prepared. If we delay for another few years, the Taiyi Sect might even give birth to a new Nascent Soul!"

"The Taihang Mountain Range are bustling with activity, let's head to Taiqing Commandery and sweep through!"

"Let all forces that are preparing to defect get ready! Tell them that North River Patriarch has broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!" West King True Person waved his sleeve, his tone filled with boundless pride.

"Furthermore, our first target is Wan Family!"

After arranging everything in the main hall, Soaring Cloud Peak and Ye Jingcheng returned to their courtyard.

Chu Yanqing had been waiting in the courtyard for quite some time.

"I'm sorry, Yan Qing." Ye Jingcheng's face showed apology, after all, they had only just met and he was already very busy.

Even Chu Yanqing's arrangements weren't made properly. Although Chu Yanqing had changed her appearance, she still couldn't just wander around Soaring Cloud Peak.

Chu Yanqing also noticed Ye Jingcheng's extreme unease, and coupled with the unusual behavior of the Ye Family members on Soaring Cloud Peak, she guessed the general situation.

"Do you need my help, Jingcheng?" Chu Yanqing asked.

"I don't need your help for now. Just wait here for a few days. If the Beast Tide comes, I might need your help then!" Ye Jingcheng said.

He didn't have time to explain further to Chu Yanqing.

Fortunately, Chu Yanqing was very sensible, so she stayed in the courtyard and guarded the spirit apricot tree.

"I'll wait for you to come back and pick the spirit apricots!" Chu Yanqing said.

"They'll be fully ripe in just a few days!"

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly, nodded, and then went directly to Soaring Cloud Lake.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was not only worried about himself, but also about Ye Jingyun Ye Jingli.

Putting yourself in their shoes, the Beast Tide created by the Ye Family was definitely not enough to make Tianfu True Person give up.

The other party has clearly broken off all pretense of civility. By preventing cultivators from Illusion Peak from appearing in Jade Dragon Valley, they are obviously suppressing the Ye Family and forcing Ye Jingcheng to go to Jade Dragon Valley.

Otherwise, given the immense reputations of Tianfu True Person and Master Tianzhen, Liu Huan and many other disciples of Illusion Peak would certainly have come to Jade Dragon Valley.

And now, not only have they not appeared, but even Ye Jingteng from the Ye Family is not in Jade Dragon Valley.

It should be noted that Ye Jingteng had been waiting in Jade Dragon Valley.

Therefore, in Ye Jingcheng's view, Tianfu True Person should be nearing its end, and he must prolong it and endure it!

Even if Tianfu True Person couldn't bear it any longer, Tianfu True Person would still be sent to Soaring Cloud Peak alone.

When Tianfu True Person arrived at Soaring Cloud Peak, it was the moment when Ye Jingcheng turned defeat into victory.

Only by bringing down Tianfu True Person can the Ye Family truly catch their breath.

In Ye Jingcheng's view, major sects are extremely averse to possession, and the fact that Tianfu True Person did not carry it out in his sect shows how strict the sect is.

After all, if word got out that a sect had engaged in possession of another's body, that sect would no longer be able to recruit disciples.

No genius disciples will come.

However, by possessing Ye Jingcheng's body, Tianfu True Person could not only avoid punishment from the sect, but also obtain all of the Ye Family's treasures.

And Ye Jingcheng's fictitious Bloodwood Spirit Body.

Ye Jingcheng had a sudden realization and understood that he needed time. The various methods he possessed were the key to turning defeat into victory.

But before that, he needs to improve his win rate; he needs to master the secret art of Spirit Control.

One must not only Spirit Control Golden-Scaled Beast, but also try to Spirit Control Wood Demon Peachwood.

After all, only Peachwood cultivated the Supreme Clarity Spirit-Guarding Art; otherwise, he wouldn't have even a trace of such Divine Soul aura.

Tianfu True Person must be on guard.

If he were to summon a Golden Core cultivator from the Taiyi Sect, or if they had left behind a contingency plan, it would be extremely bad for Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng quickly arrived at Soaring Cloud Lake. He opened the underground palace inside the lake and set up a magic array. This time, he did not enter the Grotto-Heaven space.

The situation at Soaring Cloud Peak could change in an instant.

If he goes to the Grotto-Heaven, he might miss many opportunities to make judgments.

Only by remaining observant and clear-headed at all times can we better cope with all of this.

Once everything was arranged, Ye Jingcheng placed a Jade Slip between his eyebrows and released the Golden-Scaled Beast, as the Golden-Scaled Beast was still the best Spirit Control.

Its entire body is covered in golden armor, and it is also Spirit Control that enhances its defense. It is the Spirit Control the Ye Family is most familiar with.

Only after successfully Spirit Control once did he dare to try controlling Wood Demon Spirit Control.

The Golden-Scaled Beast, still somewhat bewildered as it emerged from the Grotto-Heaven, was wondering what Ye Jingcheng was up to.

In the past, Ye Jingcheng would stick Jade Slip between his eyebrows, because he needed it for refining pills.

"Roar, Master!"

"I am not a red-skinned fox!" the Golden-Scaled Beast roared repeatedly in a low voice.

It wanted to tell Ye Jingcheng that it wasn't Crimson Flame Fox, and even seemed somewhat anxious afterward.

However, Ye Jingcheng was so engrossed in familiarizing himself with the Spirit Control Secret Method that he paid no attention to the Golden-Scaled Beast.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen this Secret Method. He'd inquired about it after his Beast-Link Mark awakening, and later asked Ye Xueliang and Ye Haicheng about it several times.

I've heard the latter explain it several times, and I've also witnessed it firsthand.

But he never actually used it even once.

This Secret Method also utilizes the Beast-Link Mark to transmit the special Blood Qi of the Golden-Scaled Beast, which then permeates the cultivator's physical body.

Of course, this kind of Blood Qi is not something that can be absorbed in ordinary Blood Qi; it requires a special Secret Method to condense it into special Spirit Patterns.

The first step is to sense the special Spirit Patterns of the Spirit Beast on the Beast-Link Mark, and then apply a special Secret Method.

Ye Jingcheng read the Jade Slip and the Lineage's summary of precautions ten times before finally putting the Jade Slip down.

"Don't worry, it's not about alchemy. From now on, you just need to cooperate!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing that it wasn't about alchemy, the Golden-Scaled Beast quieted down, its eyes even showing a hint of longing.

It had long been annoyed that the Crimson Flame Fox could always help Ye Jingcheng.

In its view, the reason why the Crimson Flame Fox was always able to surpass it was because the Crimson Flame Fox had been helping Ye Jingcheng refine pills, which was why Ye Jingcheng gave the Crimson Flame Fox the Spirit Flame.

The Crimson Flame Fox was only able to defeat it by half a move because of the Azure Sun Flame.

Otherwise, it could at least have come in second!

The Golden-Scaled Beast was certain of this.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wasn't thinking about the Golden-Scaled Beast's thoughts at that moment.

At this moment, he began to activate his spiritual technique.

This spiritual incantation is extremely wondrous; it is applied to the Beast-Link Mark.

As the Spirit Patterns formed, a special spiritual power instantly flowed along the Beast-Link Mark and into the body of the Golden-Scaled Beast.

Ye Jingcheng felt a dense Earth Attribute Spiritual Qi surrounding him, and the unprecedented sensitivity to the Earth Attribute made him feel somewhat incredulous.

He suddenly realized that he could cultivate when he was using Spirit Control, which would definitely increase his cultivation speed.

However, he quickly shook his head, explaining that the Spiritual Qi gathered by the Beast Communion Spirit Control was entirely from the Spirit Beast.

This is entirely for the benefit of the Spirit Beast's cultivation.

If he had that time, he'd be better off cultivating himself.

Ye Jingcheng instantly dismissed this thought. No wonder this Spirit Control was so miraculous and hadn't been promoted within the Ye Family; it was indeed only suitable for Body Cultivator.

Because most Spirit Beast are only skilled in physical combat, there are very few Spirit Beast that can use breathing techniques.

Ye Jingcheng continued to concentrate, channeling the rich Blood Qi into Ye Jingcheng Beast-Link Mark- manipulating pattern.

Layers of scales instantly appeared on Ye Jingcheng's body, similar to those of Qilin. He suddenly felt as if he possessed all the abilities of the Golden-Scaled Beast.

It can unleash the Golden Light Earth Spike Technique and Golden Light Falling Cloud Star Rock in succession.

Moreover, he discovered that the strength of the scales was completely controllable.

He can manifest his scales or not.

He looked at the Golden-Scaled Beast, only to find that its golden light was fading and its aura was weak.

Clearly, Ye Jingcheng Spirit Control the Golden-Scaled Beast, which would make the Golden-Scaled Beast extremely weak.

No wonder Ye Haicheng and Ye Xueliang always put their Spirit Beast into their Spirit Beast pouches when they were Spirit Control.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng released the Spirit Control, and the Blood Qi flowed back into the Golden-Scaled Beast's body through his meridians and the Beast-Link Mark.

After checking it over, Ye Jingcheng found no problems.

He took out the Jade Slip again and studied and summarized it once more.

He wanted more than just Spirit Control to enhance his defensive capabilities.

His goal was to make the aura of the Spirit Control manifest.

Of course, it would be even better if we could figure out Ye Jingyu's idea.

Next, Ye Jingcheng tried it twice more, becoming more and more proficient each time.

By the third time, Ye Jingcheng's entire body was covered in scales, making him resemble a half- Qilin human.

Even I find it unbelievable.

Moreover, he discovered that his strength had increased dramatically, and his hands seemed to be able to control the entire earth.

However, he also discovered that in this state, he had much less control over himself.

In other words, it's unrealistic to expect one plus one to equal three, and even equaling two is difficult.

However, for Body Cultivator like Ye Haicheng, it had a much greater effect.

After all, cultivators can still use Law Treasure, enhance their abilities, and use Secret Method.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng once again dispelled the Spirit Control.

"Roar!" The Golden-Scaled Beast appeared extremely exhausted, not only in terms of its Qi and Blood energy, but also in terms of its Divine Soul.

Even Ye Jingcheng felt his vision blurring.

However, Ye Jingcheng cannot stop now; he must continue the process of controlling the Wood Demon Spirit Control.

This time, he moved both the Wood Demon's physical form and its spiritual body out.

He then released the Golden-Scaled Beast.

"Master, are we going to haul corpses again? I'm invincible at hauling corpses, all the spoils will be ours!" The Wood Demon sensed the tense atmosphere in the air and seemed to realize that the Ye Family had begun preparing for battle.

She immediately started rubbing her little hands together.

Clearly, the Wood Demon was thinking of the feeling Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng had when they defended against the Beast Tide on the Hidden Island.

The Ye Family was just as nervous at that time.

"No, don't resist anymore. Relax your mind and body, and it's best to circulate the Supreme Clarity Spirit-Guarding Art!" Ye Jingcheng said.

At that moment, he had no idea what would happen to the Wood Demon Spirit Control.

After all, even within the Ye Family, there are few records of what happens to the Spirit Control Wood Demon.

Most Wood Demon have weaker physical bodies than cultivators. Not to mention that the Ye Family didn't have Blood Pact with Wood Demon before, the fact that Wood Demon' physical bodies aren't strong enough would stop the Ye Family members from advancing.

After all, Spirit Control naturally involves enhancing one's physical body and possessing the talent of Spirit Beast.

The Wood Demon's abilities are lifespan and a special method of revival.

"Alright!" The Peachwood Demon nodded, and even though everything was unknown, it didn't say another word.

Ye Jingcheng also slowly began to use his Spirit Control.

Since the second Soul Infusion, Ye Jingcheng has discovered that the Beast-Link Mark rubbing is wider.

At the same time, the Beast Communion can be used much faster.

With the Golden-Scaled Beast Spirit Control he had tried many times before, it became exceptionally smooth to use this technique. Before long, some frightening patterns began to appear all over his body, and roots began to grow from the pores of his skin.

He suddenly discovered that his physical healing abilities had increased dramatically!

Furthermore, at this moment he was able to break through many Array, seemingly possessing the abilities of Wood Demon.

Ye Jingcheng further reduced the size of his transformation, preventing so many roots from appearing on his body surface. He soon discovered that as the transformation diminished, the abilities he gained also weakened.

Once he released it, all the special Blood Qi vanished instantly.

Returning to the Wood Demon.

Ye Jingcheng sighed softly, feeling his body was completely empty. His plan to steal more lifespan was clearly a long and arduous one.

However, Ye Jingcheng discovered that a small point of light had indeed appeared in his mind.

This point of light had just captivated Ye Jingcheng's Divine Soul.

However, the light spots are like projections, so the absorption is not very strong.

This brought a smile to Ye Jingcheng's face, indicating that his idea was feasible.

And so, Ye Jingcheng continued to experiment with finding his optimal state.

While Ye Jingcheng was conducting his experiment, in the Ethereal Mountain Range, Golden-Scaled Beast, Armored Beast, and many lizards all crawled towards him.

These lizards were all driven by the third-tier great demons in the air.

They roared and howled in anger.

They are not fast.

Moreover, there weren't many powerful demons; there were only four Golden Giant Lizard demons.

But the first and second-tier Demon Beast below were densely packed, covering the entire mountainside.

This was also the power that the Earth Dragon Demon King had accumulated before; the Earth Dragon Demon King was extremely ambitious.

This accidental mishap has ironically caused the Ye Family to begin depleting some of the Earth Dragon Demon King's resources.

Of course, the demon souls collected in the future will also benefit the Earth Dragon Demon King.

As the Beast Tide surged toward Soaring Cloud Peak, the Ye Family once again began relocating mortals, sending them to hide in caves concealed by Array!

In reality, unless it's a third or even Fourth Stage Array, other first or second-order formations can be sensed and breached by the Beast Tide.

If the attack succeeds, the Ye Family will naturally suffer heavy losses among its mortals.

But for the Ye Family, they had no better solution.

The mortals of the Ye Family are precisely what constrain the Ye Family!

At the same time, the cultivators began to take the initiative, setting up Array to slow down the Beast Tide.

At this moment, there are no more than ten cultivators left on the entire Soaring Cloud Peak. All the rest have been sent out. At the same time, some newly arrived immortal talents, who are not yet at the third level of Qi Refining, have also been sent away by the Ye Family.

The Taiyi Sect steward, who had been locked in a stalemate in the Ye Family's main hall for a long time, had no choice but to leave.

He feared that if he stayed here, he might perish along with the Ye Family in the Beast Tide of Earth Dragon Valley.

Moreover, he had to rush back to Jade Dragon Valley to deliver the message as soon as possible!
