Heavenly Origin Dual Cultivators, the Might of the Heavenly Pearl
In New An Marketplace, it seems that the season has not yet fully warmed up, and some traces of ice still remain on the lake surface.
Ye Jingcheng took out the token again and went up to the Lakeheart Island.
Unlike the first time, this time it was full of unknowns, and I racked my brains over the Zhang Family's affairs.
Now, he actually has a very positive view of the layout of the Lakeheart Island.
Perhaps in the future, his clansmen will also move into his Grotto-Heaven, so it seems that his design of a Lakeheart Island is quite good.
The willows along the lake are equally beautiful.
Ye Jingcheng quickly arrived on the island, which was still crisscrossed with paths, but there seemed to be even more streets and small buildings.
The place was much quieter than usual, though. Last time there was an auction and trade fair, but this time there were clearly no similar events.
Ye Jingcheng subconsciously pulled the Spirit-Isolating Robe even lower.
The scarcity of cultivators is not a good sign.
However, he has now not only refined the Five Elements Heavenly Pearl of the Five Elements True Lord, but he has also comprehended the Water Spirit Secret Method Black Tortoise Floodwaters—Divine Wrath to a minor degree. Combined with the spiritual energy within his body and the Essence Blood of the Fire Element Crimson Phoenix Sparrow, he can activate the Fire Spirit Secret Art.
He wasn't afraid even when several peak Purple Mansion cultivators came at the same time.
In addition, he also has escape techniques such as Blood Origin Escape Realm, so he can escape even when facing a Golden Core cultivator.
After all, although he only had three Blood Origin Escape Realms, they were condensed from Spirit Beasts. He had more than a dozen of them. If they weren't too many and useless, Ye Jingcheng could have condensed even more.
It was precisely because they had all the necessary means that Ye Jingcheng would not have come.
Ye Jingcheng arrived at the Skyreach Pavilion shortly afterward.
As Ye Jingcheng took out the Skyreach Token, the beautiful female cultivator hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Senior, please wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.
"Someone up there is talking to our Manager Ling; they also want the treasure you ordered!"
Ye Jingcheng didn't understand what it meant at first, and thought there was some kind of trap involved.
It now appears that someone wanted his Spirit Gathering Formation and spirit-attracting Spirit Stone.
So, does this mean the Ling Family is quite trustworthy?
Of course, Ye Jingcheng did not answer at this moment. He glanced up and then came back to his senses.
He didn't use his Divine Sense, after all, the Ling Family was a Golden Core Lineage and also Fourth Stage Array. If he used his Divine Sense, he would inevitably be able to sense their cultivation level.
Ye Jingcheng simply stopped watching.
And he left Skyreach Pavilion directly.
"I'll come back when I'm done!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, then left the pavilion and disappeared into the alley.
Ye Jingcheng waited in a restaurant until dusk.
This restaurant is located by the lake, allowing him to escape to the center of the lake at any time. He can also sense changes in the Array, and if a Golden Core cultivator comes, he can get some warning.
At that moment, he sensed the sound of the Skyreach Token.
However, instead of moving, he booked a room at the restaurant.
Although he agreed, he naturally wouldn't go inside the Skyreach Pavilion, where everything was already arranged, at this moment.
There might even be Fourth Stage Array inside.
He was going to wait for the other person inside the restaurant.
This restaurant belongs to the Jia Family. If nothing unexpected happens, the Jia Family will also become a Golden Core Lineage within the next ten years or so.
Even though the Ling Family has extraordinary abilities, he still needs to be wary of the Jia Family.
As expected, seeing that Ye Jingcheng did not go, a knock sounded at Ye Jingcheng's door a little over half an hour later.
As Ye Jingcheng opened the door, a graceful figure walked in.
This person was none other than Ling Shuiyun. Her face was still stunningly beautiful, and the allure she exuded was even more pronounced.
I don't know if they toned it down last time or if they've made progress this time.
"Fellow Daoist is so cautious, do you perhaps think that my Ling Family would ambush our distinguished guest?" Ling Shuiyun said with a slightly aggrieved tone, even with a hint of seduction.
The Purple Mansion pendant he wore on his chest shone brightly continuously.
Ye Jingcheng's eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, you should put away these seductive techniques!"
As Ye Jingcheng spoke, Ling Shuiyun's eyes showed obvious disappointment. She then sat down at the table with Ye Jingcheng.
The stool in the room was really small, but because Ling Shuiyun's robe and skirt were so daringly open, they even revealed a little bit of her cleavage.
This made Ye Jingcheng turn his head repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm worried about getting into trouble. Such a powerful force is collecting this, and I'm all alone. If I get blocked, the Ling Family might not stand up for me!" Ye Jingcheng said reasonably.
Of course, his Divine Sense was constantly monitoring the surrounding area.
Ye Jingcheng didn't have that much trust in the Ling Family.
If anything goes wrong, Ye Jingcheng will release a large number of wooden puppets and escape with his Spirit Control.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so nervous. However, you should still be careful, as there is indeed a group of people collecting this. Even my Ling Family wouldn't dare to provoke them!" Ling Shuiyun took out a Storage Bag.
Open a gap in it so that Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense can enter.
They were also waiting for Ye Jingcheng to bring out the remaining spirit medicine and Spirit Stones.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also took out a Storage Bag and confirmed the effects of the Spirit Gathering Formation and spirit-attracting Spirit Stone inside.
After receiving it, I simply hung it on my waist.
They seemed to trust Skyreach Pavilion completely, and were not worried at all about any tricks or tampering inside.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so generous!" Ling Shuiyun couldn't help but praise.
"It's not that I'm being generous, it's that I trust the Ling Family more!" Ye Jingcheng retorted.
After saying that, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Ling Shuiyun left without warning.
The former left through the door, while Ye Jingcheng left through the window.
He was draped in Shadowless Dao Robe.
Beneath the Daoist robe, countless wood grain patterns began to emerge.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was Spirit Control the Wood Demon. One of his hands, strangely resembling the Wood Demon, pointed at the Array, and an opening appeared.
His body flew straight out of the opening in the Array.
Without the slightest pause.
Once they crossed the Spirit Lake, they immediately took out a third-tier Spirit Boat and fled at top speed.
This happened extremely quickly. Even Ling Shuiyun, who had just stepped out of the restaurant, was utterly surprised as she looked in the direction Ye Jingcheng had left.
The other party's level of caution completely exceeded her expectations.
In her memory, there was no one nearby who matched this description.
"However, we were a bit hasty; there are people waiting outside too!" Ling Shuiyun murmured.
Only cultivators at the Purple Mansion can afford to buy this, so rushing out like this is not good news.
Ling Shuiyun quickly shook her head again.
In any case, at least they didn't make a move in the market, and the Ling Family was indeed worried about being targeted.
A long, misty valley was shrouded in fog when a Spirit Boat flew into it and disappeared in an instant.
On the Spirit Boat was Ye Jingcheng.
At this moment, he held a spirit mirror in his hand, on which was the Shadow Wood Puppet that Ye Jingcheng had just set up. This Shadow Wood Puppet was on his walking route, so if anyone chased after him...
He could also clearly see the level of cultivation and the methods of concealment used by the person chasing him.
For example, right now, he knows that there are at least two Purple Mansions chasing after him.
One of them is probably in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, and the other Purple Mansion in the late stage.
This force is truly formidable; it's just a pity that these two chased the wrong people.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng's expression also changed, and he increased the speed of the Spirit Boat again.
Finally, it landed in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
He placed a Heavenly Armor Puppet onto the Spirit Boat and continued to carry Spirit Boat forward.
He then used the Shadowless Bowl to invert himself inside the valley.
Waiting quietly.
Another dark blue Spirit Boat flew out from the mist.
On the Spirit Boat, two cultivators in Spirit-Isolating Robes were extremely excited.
"Brother, if we can get back this Spirit Gathering Formation and the Spirit Stone, we can save a full 700,000 Spirit Stones. If we pool our resources, it will be enough to buy a Gold Condensation Pill!" one of the shorter cultivators said excitedly.
"Don't be careless. This person is also at the Purple Mansion, and his Purple Mansion level is likely very high. If it weren't for the treasure our employer gave us, I really wouldn't dare to attack a cultivator of the same level!" another person said.
"Big brother, he's sped up!"
"Such fear shows that he's truly not very capable!" the slightly shorter cultivator added excitedly once more.
Only the cultivator remained silent this time.
The tense look on his face showed that he was still somewhat worried.
For him, these actions were naturally risky.
However, in his view, the outcome of the risk was absolutely worthwhile.
The person who can produce so many treasures must be the head of the Aristocratic Clan.
It definitely contains more than just Spirit Gathering Formation and spirit-attracting Spirit Stones.
"There should be fewer of these treasure-hunting incidents in the future!" the cultivator finally spoke after a long silence.
The Spirit Boat finally landed in a valley.
This valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Although it lacks Spiritual Qi, it has a treacherous terrain.
"Dongyuan, raise the Spirit Boat a bit higher. I have a bad feeling about this valley."
"Brother, this place is perfectly normal, and we even sensed that their Spirit Boat is still moving forward!" The cultivator called Dongyuan was still somewhat puzzled.
Despite his confusion, he still steered the Spirit Boat upwards.
At that moment, a spiritual light suddenly shone from the ground.
One array flag after another appeared, quickly forming a vast expanse of spiritual light that intertwined into a giant net, about to engulf them.
"Not good!" The cultivator who was called the elder brother suddenly changed his expression drastically. He raised his hand and frantically lifted the Spirit Boat upwards.
However, after being lifted halfway, it was still trapped inside the Array.
"This..." The two were both shocked and furious!
"So you're the famous Rogue Cultivator from the Purple Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, Heavenly Origin Dual Cultivators." A voice echoed from the void, and at the same time, a Soul-Snaring Banner rose into the air, about to capture the souls of the two of them.
The Heavenly Origin Dual Cultivators was extremely famous in the Jin Kingdom, mainly because the two liked to engage in acts of robbery and plunder, and they even Foundation Establishment Lineage and Qi Refining Lineage.
This caused most of the Jin Kingdom's forces to harbor deep resentment, yet they were powerless to do anything about it, and each time they could only voluntarily hand over treasures in hopes of surviving!
Even the Spirit Talisman Sect of the Jin Kingdom, though it wanted to intervene, somehow managed to evade Spirit Talisman Sect pursuit.
After doing this many times, they actually made a fortune.
His cultivation level also increased, and he even began to plunder newly entered Purple Mansion Lineage.
Ye Jingcheng was able to recognize them because he saw the spiritual Cultivation Method of both of them.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
After all, it's clear from this that the two are hired hands.
Disappointed as he was, Ye Jingcheng couldn't possibly keep the two of them.
The Soul-Snaring Banner was wielded even more fiercely!
The jet-black light almost transformed into streaks of undying dark clouds, enveloping both of them.
That instant, Dongyuan was plunged into a soul-stirring abyss, his eyes wide open.
Meanwhile, the Beiyuan Bandit Cultivator beside him had a clear look in his eyes, which shone with a light like the bright moon.
They forcibly broke Ye Jingcheng's soul-capturing spell.
And with a wave of his hand, he directly produced a huge log.
In the blink of an eye, the log transformed into a wooden armored warrior.
This was clearly a wooden puppet, and its aura had reached the peak of the Purple Mansion.
It's definitely the strongest puppet below the Fourth Stage.
As soon as the puppet appeared, it shot out countless tentacles, some of which burrowed directly into the ground.
Some lunged at Ye Jingcheng.
"These nurtured wooden puppets are the most complex. Are you in contact with the Zhang Family?" Ye Jingcheng shouted repeatedly.
However, Ye Jingcheng did not receive an answer; the other party did not provide one.
The Beiyuan Bandit Cultivator even used his gaze to rescue the Dongyuan Bandit Cultivator.
The two then each took out their Law Treasures, which transformed into a flying scythe and a flying sword, respectively, and were about to kill Ye Jingcheng.
This flying scythe is clearly a top-grade third-tier magic Law Treasure, and this flying sword is also a high-grade third-tier Law Treasure, both overflowing with multicolored spiritual light.
The next moment, the five-colored Law Treasure flying sword transformed into five flying swords, each one exceptionally sharp.
But that wasn't all; the five quickly became ten, fifteen, twenty...
Finally, hundreds of flying swords fell from different directions.
Ye Jingcheng showed no panic upon seeing this scene.
Ye Jingcheng would be surprised if the two of them didn't have any tricks up their sleeves.
A five-colored bead flew out of his hand.
The next moment was the water-based Secret Method, the Mystic Frost Domain, nurtured within the Five Elements Heavenly Pearl.
Everything around was frozen solid.
Ding ding!
The shadows of these flying swords quickly dwindled to just five, still hurtling towards Ye Jingcheng at breakneck speed.
The black scythe was equally formidable.
Along with it came countless roots of the wooden puppet, which pierced through from the ground and from the sky.
However, as a top-grade Law Treasure, the Mystic Frost Domain naturally has more than just the effect of freezing.
As Ye Jingcheng clenched his fist, the ice crystals that had been condensed shattered completely.
The sky was filled with countless ice droplets, forming a terrifying ice storm.
In an instant, both of them were plunged into the center of the ice storm.
Instead, all the flying swords, black scythes, and roots lost their way.
"What kind of trick is this?" The two were terrified, and they instinctively fled towards the sky.
Only the wooden puppet continued to plunge towards the center of the storm.
This wooden puppet was indeed terrifying, blocking most of the ice crystal storm.
But Ye Jingcheng's methods go beyond that.
The Five Elements Heavenly Pearl do not only have one Secret Method.
A flash of azure light appeared, and dragon vines, resembling true dragon tendrils, surged forth from the ground.
These vines were more numerous and denser than those of the wooden puppets, and most importantly, the dragon-shaped vines themselves possessed a tremendous deterrent effect.
This is precisely the Secret Method of the Dragonwood Fang.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat shocked by the power of this Five Elements Heavenly Pearl Law Treasure.
Because of these Five Elements Heavenly Pearl, there are five Secret Method of such power.
Although it takes a long time to nurture after each use, it is still a treasure in itself.
However, to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the wooden puppet suddenly emitted large swaths of azure spiritual light.
These bursts of spiritual light seemed to become Greenwood Forbidden Light, causing Ye Jingcheng's Dragonwood Secret Method to slow down significantly, and eventually even begin to fall.
Meanwhile, Beiyuan and Dongyuan in the sky also breathed a sigh of relief.
But their eyes were now filled with horror, and they both fled towards the outside of the Array.
At this moment, they didn't even need the wooden puppets anymore.
After all, the wooden puppet wasn't theirs, so it wouldn't matter if it were lost.
At that very moment, they seemed to see a dragon's shadow streak across the void.
Then a gust of Mysterious Cold Storm flew up.
These storms transformed into countless ethereal dragon shadows.
The two quickly activated their magical Law Treasure.
However, as the cold air gathered, an icy claw had somehow condensed above their heads.
Boom!
As the icy claws descended, all the defensive magical Law Treasure and spiritual shields on the two individuals crumbled.
The Beiyuan even used a Tribulation-Substitution Talisman.
His figure appeared not far away; at this moment, he didn't even want to save Dongyuan.
He just wanted to leave.
Ye Jingcheng's strength and methods far exceeded his expectations.
But Ye Jingcheng's methods naturally went beyond that.
Six Mysterious Needles flew out, which was Ye Jingcheng's Soul-Extinguishing Needle Secret Method.
During the Foundation Establishment stage, only three Soul-Extinguishing Needles could be condensed. Now, in the Purple Mansion, it is sufficient to refine six, and because Ye Jingcheng's Divine Soul is almost comparable to the peak of the third rank.
Each Soul-Extinguishing Needle is extremely powerful.
The Beiyuan Master did indeed take out a treasure for defending the Divine Soul, which was a Xuan Pearl.
This mysterious pearl blocked all six Soul-Extinguishing Needles.
But the next moment, Beiyuan's expression darkened, and his corpse fell downwards.
Ye Jingcheng not only used Secret Method, but also employed the God-Slaying Needle Law Treasure crafted by Ye Haicheng. This is a top-grade third-tier Law Treasure with extremely strong concealment effects.
Beiyuan only needs to be unwilling to defend his sea of consciousness.
That won't change the outcome.
At that moment, Ye Jingcheng came to his senses, and Dongyuan Shangren was also killed by Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and torn to pieces.
