Violet Jade Conch; Blood Demon Fish
On an unnamed island, the underground hall was extremely dark, with only two scattered Moonlight Stone illuminating the quiet space.
A figure silently landed in the shadows.
Seemingly sensing something, the figure stood up, connecting array flags in his hand to instantly create a large array. At the same time, the surrounding Moonlight Stone also began to change.
The next moment, countless bright white Spirit Patterns began to appear in the center, and they were all activated in an instant!
The entire hall was brightly lit.
It was the Teleportation Array that was being pulled in.
As the spiritual light quickly dissipated, two figures appeared in the hall.
The two looked around warily; it was Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng, who had been teleported from Earth Dragon Valley.
Although the two were holding teleportation talismans, they were still somewhat unaccustomed to the long-distance teleportation.
"Brighten!" As the rough voice rang out, a Beast-Link Mark pattern appeared on the surrounding Array Spirit Patterns. Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng immediately woke up and each revealed a Beast-Link Mark.
The hidden Array vanished instantly, revealing the original state of the hall, and a figure emerged.
The man was wearing a dark Purplewood Sect, and had a very square face. Ye Jingcheng had never seen him before, but Ye Haicheng clearly recognized him.
Otherwise, Ye Haicheng would have already taken out the Law Artifact.
Seemingly to dispel any suspicion, the man revealed his Beast-Link Mark again, and they confirmed each other's identities.
This hall is not located beneath Purplewood Island, but rather in the Outer Sea, making it a rather dangerous place.
Of course, the Ye Family's decision to relocate the Teleportation Array was a last resort.
With the Yun Family of the Skycloud Archipelago coming under the control of the Ye Family, the Purplewood Sect was also suspected, and from time to time, people from the Purple Mansion or Golden Core stages would secretly patrol the area.
With the increasing number of cultivators joining the Purplewood Sect, the manpower inevitably became disorganized.
If the Ye Family's Teleportation Array remains under the Purplewood Sect, then they are courting death.
After a pause, Ye Haicheng spoke first:
"Xingliang, where are Second Uncle and the others?"
"Second Uncle and the others are still on Purplewood Island. They should be here in about half a day!" Ye Xingliang is a member of the Hidden Star generation, at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
I've never met Ye Jingcheng, but I recognize him from his name.
The reason they didn't recognize each other was because almost all of their clansmen in the Azure Cloud Sea Region had taken the Bone-Transforming Pill.
For convenience, some have never had their appearance changed back.
This is actually not good for the Ye Family, and it doesn't really strengthen the Lineage's cohesion, but it's something the Ye Family has no choice but to do.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng followed a tunnel, walked through a long corridor, and finally left the island.
Once we reached the outer edge of the island, we could feel the distant waves rolling in, and as far as the eye could see, there was only the azure sky.
A long-lost sense of exhilaration welled up within me. The feeling of the sea was completely different from that of the Eastern Region; it was forever vibrant and eternally alive!
After a brief remark, Ye Jingcheng began to survey the location.
Having spent over a decade in the seas, he naturally knew the boundaries of some areas. After comparing his memory several times, he confirmed that this was the area between the Ye Family Hidden Island and Purplewood Island, and Ye Xingliu had previously been in charge of this area.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng was also curious about whether his former third uncle, the head of the family, had broken through to the peak of Foundation Establishment and whether he was in seclusion in the Purple Mansion.
The two didn't have to wait long.
After about half a day, a huge whale appeared at the horizon.
The whale created a massive column of water as it sailed along, a truly awe-inspiring sight on the sea.
When the whale landed in front of them, it opened its huge mouth, and several figures flew out from it.
Ye Jingcheng instantly recognized that two of them were Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang.
Besides these two, there are also Ye Haifei and Ye Haihe.
This time, the Ye Family sent quite a few people to fight, after all, it was to deal with the Demon King, and no amount of preparation was excessive.
If it weren't for the need for someone to hold back in the Skycloud Archipelago, there would have been even more people!
"Second Grand Uncle, Fourth Grand Uncle..." Ye Jingcheng greeted them one by one.
Ye Xuecang looked at Ye Jingcheng and saw that his Qi Refining cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Purple Mansion, and even his physical body had reached the third level.
His face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Good!"
Ye Haihe laughed and said:
"Good lad, he's completely outmaneuvered his uncle!"
Everyone was filled with emotion for a moment.
On the contrary, Ye Jingcheng was feeling somewhat out of place.
"Alright, it's time to set off. Hai Fei, distribute your army of Blood Leech and make sure that the surrounding thousand miles of sea are under our control!"
"Hai Cheng, how many sets of the third-tier Five Elements Heavenly Armor Puppet have you refined?"
"Reporting to Second Uncle, only one set has been completed, but there are five individual Heavenly Armor Puppet!" In recent years, Ye Haicheng has been refining Heavenly Armor Puppet in the Taihang Mountain Range, in addition to cultivating and training his physical body!
He took out a Storage Bag, which Ye Xuecang accepted directly.
Then he looked at Ye Xuefan.
Ye Xuefan nodded, then raised his hand.
The enormous whale opened its mouth wide once more.
This time, Ye Jingcheng also flew in with Ye Xuecang and the others.
This Spirit Beast was clearly something Ye Xuefan had recently acquired, and Ye Jingcheng was also curious whether there was another Grotto-Heaven inside the Bluewater Whale.
However, Ye Jingcheng soon discovered that it was not; it was just a small abdominal cavity, far from being Grotto-Heaven.
It was about the size of a large hall, and with six people inside, it still felt a little crowded.
Moreover, the Spiritual Qi is very faint.
"This is where the Bluewater Whale stores its food; it can hunt for three years' worth of food at once!" Ye Xuefan explained, seemingly noticing Ye Jingcheng's confusion.
"Why don't you second and fourth uncles enter my Grotto-Heaven?" Ye Jingcheng also suggested.
"No, the most important thing right now is to play it safe. We need to constantly sense our surroundings and make sure we can take action before we know for sure!" Ye Xuecang refused directly.
He was extremely serious at that moment.
This was, after all, a crucial test for the Ye Family, and it involved dealing with the Twin-Headed Turtle Demon King.
If there were other Demon King beside the Demon King, the Ye Family would be in great danger, especially since there was no Earth Dragon Demon King to provide support this time.
The reason we were able to kill the Sea-Overturning Demon King so easily last time was because of the existence of the Earth Dragon Demon King!
"Jingcheng, you're about to reach the Golden Core stage, so this is a good time for you to adapt to the harsh environment and get some training!" Ye Xuefan added from the side.
Ye Jingcheng immediately nodded in agreement.
The Bluewater Whale is a mid-stage Tier 3 demon, and its speed in the sea is extremely fast, without any obstacles.
In less than two days, Ye Jingcheng felt the familiar sea area.
The Bluewater Whale landed in the deep sea, right where Ye Shengyi was.
Not only does the Ancient Treasure Sea-Measuring Stele exist here, but there is also a Star Sea Fruit Tree.
As the whale's mouth opened, Ye Jingcheng saw everything on the seabed. Pavilions had been built here, and the Array were more complete. The Sea-Measuring Stele was still the best concealment magic Law Treasure. In the distance, the Star Sea Fruit on the Star Sea Fruit Tree were gone, leaving only countless Star Sea Spirit Leaves hanging on the tree, twinkling.
If he remembered correctly, the Star Sea Fruit should have ripened seven or eight years ago, and it was clear that the fruit had already been refined by the Earth Dragon Demon King.
No wonder Ye Jingcheng saw the Earth Dragon Demon King this time; the latter's cultivation had improved significantly, and even his physical body looked more perfect.
Now, all the Ye Family needs to do is collect enough Beast Soul and have them Soul Infusion once, and they will be ready to break through to the Nascent Soul.
The others didn't go out; instead, Ye Shengyi walked in. Compared to the time he went to the Heavenly Mountain Sect, Ye Shengyi had clearly aged a bit.
The previous two spirit peaches only extended lifespan by thirty years.
All the members of the Ye Family also bowed and paid their respects, even Ye Xuecang had to respectfully call him father.
However, Ye Shengyi only nodded to Ye Xuecang, but when he looked at Ye Jingcheng, he was clearly more satisfied. Then he took out two more Jade Slip.
"These are some of my insights from years of alchemy!"
"The second is some breakthrough insights that your second great-uncle and I gained. Mine are not very valuable, but you can take them as lessons!"
"Thank you so much, Third Ancestor! This is extremely useful to me!" Ye Jingcheng repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
I was naturally moved.
Both his experience in Dao of Alchemy and his insights into breakthroughs were extremely helpful to him.
Especially the latter. When Ye Shengyi broke through, not only did it consume a lot of his Lineage's resources, but he also suffered serious injuries and his cultivation regressed. During the retreat, in order to resist the Demon Beast, he used Secret Method, which even caused him to lose a lot of his lifespan!
Many people wouldn't summarize their experiences in this situation, but he just glanced at it and found it to be extremely detailed.
It seems that Ye Shengyi has added to this in recent years.
"Have you finished all the preparations?" Ye Shengyi finally asked Ye Xuecang.
After receiving a positive response, the Bluewater Whale set off again, this time heading towards more distant waters, which meant greater danger, but also new fortuitous opportunity.
In the Azure Cloud Sea Region, deep in the Outer Sea, there are many Demon Kings, as well as many Human Race True Person who come to seek treasures and gain experience.
The Ye Family became even more cautious. Ye Jingcheng noticed that Ye Haifei was covered in sweat because he was having too much trouble controlling the Blood Leech array.
Another day later, the Bluewater Whale stopped on an island. This time, Ye Xuecang joined Ye Haifei's group. His Divine Sense was stronger, and he took out a Fourth Stage mirror Law Treasure to help him sense.
And so, another day passed.
As dawn broke in the east, the sea became brighter, and wisps of purple qi drifted in.
To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, many more Purple Jade Snail appeared on the sea surface at this moment.
This Purple Jade Snail absorbs purple qi and is a type of spirit shell that is no less precious than the Moon Spirit Clam Shell.
This time, however, none of them moved; their target was the Twin-Headed Turtle Demon King.
Just then, Ye Xuecang finally opened his eyes:
"Feasible!"
Ye Haifei continued to control the blood disc in his hand, monitoring the nearby sea area, and also led a Blood Leech into the Purple Jade Snail swarm.
"Prepare a blood meal. This old turtle's favorite food is the Blood Demon Fish!" Ye Xuecang took out a Spirit Beast pouch, and a small school of Blood Demon Fish began to swim around nearby.
The Ye Family didn't use the Demon-Luring Grass this time. The Demon-Luring Grass is too potent and would attract too many more Demon King!
But this Blood Demon Fish is different; it is a first-tier spirit fish in its juvenile stage and a second-tier spirit fish when it matures.
This Blood Demon Fish isn't of much use to cultivators, but it's a great tonic for many Class A Spirit Beast.
Furthermore, regular consumption can lead to the formation of Blood Demon Patterns, which are somewhat similar to the Mystic Patterns of the Ye Family's Profound Desolate Overlord Body!
Once the spirit fish was released, Ye Xuefan was the most nervous.
He is the Lineage's most senior Array, and he is about to set up Array.
Furthermore, to prevent the Twin-Headed Demon King from sensing it in advance, he cannot make arrangements beforehand!
