Two members of the Zhang Family escape the Desert Sea into the Celestial Departure Grassland, only to be pursued and annihilated by the Ye Family. The Ye Family, now confident that the Zhang Family is no longer a threat, plans to expand their influence and exploit the resources of the grassland.

A terrifyingly large pit was instantly activated.

"This Bing Fire Divine Thunder is truly difficult!" This person was, of course, Ye Jingcheng.

Compared to the Yan Kingdom, the Desert Sea offered an additional advantage: this desert expanse served as a natural sacred ground for practicing magic.

There was no need to fret about damaging the soil.

After the Celestial Phoenix Oasis was pacified, the Ye Family commenced extensive mortal migrations, large-scale construction projects, and oasis transformations.

Every Ye Family member was involved, yet Ye Jingcheng found himself unexpectedly idle.

Given the pivotal importance of the Celestial Phoenix Oasis and the presence of the teleportation array, Ye Jingcheng could not depart carelessly or enter solitary cultivation.

Consequently, he seized this opportune moment to begin cultivating the Five Elements Divine Thunder Secret Technique.

He had personally witnessed the formidable power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder; even a solitary Bing Fire Divine Thunder could inflict immense damage, and with sufficient practice, it could be unleashed instantaneously.

The complete Five Elements Divine Thunder, when unleashed in unison, was even more devastating.

However, after more than a month of dedicated cultivation, even with Ye Shengyi's guidance, he could only manage a rough approximation.

Ye Jingcheng was even contemplating the possibility of learning the Water Thunder Technique first.

After all, the Fire Thunder was inherently more violent.

Naturally, upon contemplating this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but think of Ye Shengyi. If the latter hadn't perished within the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, he would undoubtedly be delighted to witness the Ye Family's dominion over the entire Desert Sea.

He let out a sigh but then observed a Sound Transmission Talisman illuminating.

He swiftly deactivated the array and piloted the Spiritual Ship towards Celestial Shadow Peak.

Soon, he alighted before the main hall of Celestial Shadow Peak, where the atmosphere appeared remarkably vibrant.

Even Chu Yanqing was in attendance.

Ye Jingcheng immediately proceeded inside.

"Jingcheng, three pieces of excellent news delivered at once!" Upon his entry, he heard Ye Haicheng exclaim with evident joy.

These words also brought a surge of delight to Ye Jingcheng.

"Grandfather, your pronouncements fill your grandson with immense excitement; it has been an age since I last observed you in such high spirits!" Ye Jingcheng remarked with a smile, making his way towards Chu Yanqing.

Today, Chu Yanqing was also beaming, and upon seeing Ye Jingcheng approach, she couldn't resist leaning towards him.

Within the hall, in addition to Ye Haicheng, several core elders, including Ye Xueliang and Ye Xinghan, were present. Among the younger clan members, only Ye Jingchong and Ye Qingwen had arrived.

"Allow Fifteenth Uncle to speak first!" Ye Haicheng also directed a glance towards Ye Xueliang.

Ye Xueliang, possessing a forthright character, did not hesitate. With a flick of his hand, he revealed a palm-sized Sand Ginseng Scorpion.

"Jingcheng, beyond the West Sai Oasis, a prodigious Sand Ginseng Scorpion colony has been discovered. Furthermore, a substantial Celestial Sand Crystal Vein exists in proximity. It is estimated that there are well over ten thousand Sand Ginseng Scorpions. Should the family succeed in capturing them all, the family's future sustenance will incorporate an additional variety, and low-tier cultivators within the family shall advance more rapidly, unburdened by concerns of the oasis's capacity!" Ye Xueliang elaborated.

The Sand Ginseng Scorpion he held was a Scorpion King from the mid-stage of the Second Tier, possessing even more remarkable spirit energy-nourishing properties.

"Fifteenth Ancestor, you have rendered a most significant contribution this time!" Ye Jingcheng expressed, his face alight with joy.

A count exceeding ten thousand Sand Ginseng Scorpions represented an undeniable boon for the Ye Family. After all, such scorpions could be cultivated continuously, and the desert sea environment was ideally suited for their proliferation.

"Your grandfather's contribution eclipses mine!" Ye Xueliang gestured dismissively, his gaze shifting to Ye Haicheng, a subtle hint of envy in his eyes. The Ye Family's reward system stipulated a minimum of ten percent for the discovery of resources and treasures.

"Jingcheng, on this occasion, while pursuing the remnants of the Zhang Family, the clan unearthed a Tier Three Secret Realm, and within, we located a medium-sized, top-grade spirit stone vein!" Ye Haicheng stated plainly.

At this juncture, no information was withheld from Chu Yanqing.

"Furthermore, among the spoils acquired, a token was recovered. The token bears the engraved character 'Jia,' which I surmise pertains to the Zhang Jia family meeting held within the desert sea!" Ye Haicheng continued.

This token had been discovered within the storage bag of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhang Yucheng.

Both families operated in secrecy, naturally aligning against common enemies. The possession of this token by the Ye Family implied the potential to leverage it for luring out adversaries in the future.

The sole challenge lay in determining how to establish contact with the Jia Family and ascertain their rendezvous point; these remained unresolved issues.

Of course, while Ye Jingcheng was contemplating these matters, Ye Haicheng conveyed yet another message to him directly.

"There is also an incomplete top-grade spirit stone!" Ye Haicheng had not only kept this from Chu Yanqing but also from the other Foundation Establishment members of the Ye Family.

The matter of the top-grade spirit stone was of far greater consequence, and it was best if fewer people knew about it. This was because it could be crucial for Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Grandfather, you have brought us an immense surprise!" Ye Jingcheng exclaimed joyfully.

Inwardly, he was ecstatic; a medium-sized top-grade spirit stone vein and a top-grade spirit stone were treasures that could make Nascent Soul stage cultivators tremble. Possessing both now would significantly bolster the Ye Family's foundation, allowing them to achieve the Nascent Soul stage with an abundance of resources.

The Ye Family's fortunate expedition into the Azure Sea had yielded widespread success and profound impacts.

"Grandfather, is the last piece of good news related to the Yuanling Oasis auction?" Ye Jingcheng suppressed his jubilation and inquired further.

He felt confident, given his own plans and Ye Jingfu's steady management of Taihang Market for decades, that the auction and the Foreign Affairs Tower would proceed without issues. The Ye Family's current standing would surely attract numerous independent cultivators, and perhaps even some exceptionally talented ones, to join their ranks.

Their recent successes in the Desert Sea Cultivation Realm had apparently ignited the passion of many cultivators.

"The Yuanling Oasis auction was indeed successful; fifty oases were sold for spirit medicines and treasures valued at two million spirit stones. This haul included many of the spirit materials you requested. While these loose cultivators may lack spirit stones, they have amassed a great deal of spirit medicine and spiritual ores!"

"Furthermore, the Foreign Affairs Tower has recruited over two hundred individuals, with the Martial Arts Tower and Art Tower each adding a hundred people."

"However, these are hardly the most joyous tidings," Ye Haicheng stated, stretching the suspense with intentional mystery.

This statement only heightened Ye Jingcheng's curiosity.

"Could it be that Grandfather has obtained some treasure that will aid in a breakthrough?" Ye Jingcheng questioned again.

"Haha, my treasures are insignificant in comparison!"

"Jingcheng, you should ask Yanqing this time!" Ye Haicheng, seeing Ye Jingcheng's continued bewilderment, decided to reveal the secret and gestured towards Chu Yanqing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was momentarily taken aback before turning his gaze to Chu Yanqing. He noticed her slightly flushed face and the gentle pat she gave her abdomen.

"Brother Cheng, it's time to think of a name!" Chu Yanqing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng froze for a beat, then erupted in exuberant delight.

He nearly surged forward to confirm, but Ye Haicheng quickly interjected, "Don't use your Divine Sense!"

A newborn child, especially so early in their development, cannot withstand the scrutiny of Divine Sense, not even those with a Celestial Spirit Root. This is precisely why Spirit Root testing is typically conducted after the age of ten, as a young child's body cannot endure the spiritual energy. Of course, with exceptional natural development and a body brimming with spiritual energy, testing might be feasible a few years earlier, around the age of ten.

"Names~ Ah!" Ye Jingcheng felt the overwhelming joy arrive far too swiftly. He hadn't truly considered names until this very moment and now understood the urgent need to think carefully.

Witnessing Ye Jingcheng's eager yet perplexed expression as he scratched his head, Chu Yanqing couldn't help but stifle her laughter behind her hand.

"Brother Cheng, you can't even come up with one? This time, you have to think of two!" Chu Yanqing's additional remark left Ye Jingcheng completely stunned once more, before transforming into sheer, unadulterated excitement. As is widely known, the higher a cultivator's attainment, the lower their fertility rate tends to be, which is why the Ye Family actively supports mortals. He had never imagined his fortune would be so immense, hitting the jackpot not once, but twice!

The Barbaric Tyrant Body Secret Manual must be vigorously promoted!
