The Ye Family successfully located and activated a hidden secret realm, revealed to be a mini-world named Shuize. After breaching its natural array with a peach wood demon, they entered, encountering Jia Family cultivators. Ye Jingcheng and his spirit beasts swiftly defeated the four hidden Purple Mansion cultivators of the Jia Family, leaving only Foundation Establishment members, who were no match for Ye Xuefan.

Within the Shuize World, atop Shuize Mountain, a new Array was installed, transforming the entire formation from the Jia Family’s Array into the Tier Three Top-Grade Cyan Water Cloud Heaven Array.

This Array differed from others, which typically possessed only pure defensive or offensive capabilities.

Its primary function was to gather Spiritual Energy, cultivate Spirit Veins, and nourish Spirit Fields.

Given that this Mini World was exceptionally well-concealed, security was not a significant worry; what it truly needed were supportive Arrays. When combined with a Tier Four Pure Water Attribute Spiritual Vein, it unquestionably became one of the premier resource worlds.

Paired with the Spirit Lake, it presented an ideal environment for raising Spirit Fish.

This location was also perfectly suited for the Ye Family to cultivate large quantities of Black Mushroom Fish Blood Jade Eel and Red Section Fish Star-Feeding Fish.

Interestingly, the Jia Family had engaged in similar practices, though they raised Celestial Lotus Fish. This particular type of Spirit Fish, while slender and not particularly outstanding in taste or appearance, excelled in its breeding capabilities and possessed even more abundant Spiritual Energy than Red Section Fish.

This inherent advantage was the reason the Jia Family could remain at Qingsha Oasis for years without venturing out.

The rules governing this Mini World were exceptionally comprehensive. With thousands of Spirit Fish being nurtured and the Secret Realm itself being quite vast, it was entirely capable of sustaining itself.

Upon observing the completed Array setup, Ye Xuefan exhaled a prolonged sigh of relief.

Behind him, Chu Yanqing had successfully eliminated several of the Jia Family’s Cultivators.

She now held several Storage Bags and directed her gaze towards Ye Xuefan.

"Fourth Grand-Uncle," Chu Yanqing reported, "the Jia Family’s Cultivators have been almost entirely eradicated, and the clan’s Treasures have been mostly accounted for!"

Accompanying Chu Yanqing were Ye Xingyu and other clan members who had recently achieved Peak Cultivation.

Witnessing Chu Yanqing deliver her report, much like Ye Jingcheng, brought a wide smile to Ye Xuefan’s face.

Chu Yanqing’s seamless integration into the Ye Family delighted him, especially considering her knowledge of many of the Ye Family’s secrets.

In truth, according to the Ye Family’s regulations, Chu Yanqing should have taken a comprehensive Heavenly Dao Oath and a clan Soul Ban.

However, he had previously learned that Chu Yanqing had voluntarily undertaken certain Heavenly Dao Oaths, which prompted him to treat her with less severity.

Furthermore, Chu Yanqing was a Spirit Body Cultivator, possessing a significant potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

"Yanqing, this Clan Mountain will likely require your presence alongside Yun Xi in the future!" Ye Xuefan added with a smile.

The Water Attribute Spiritual Vein available here could significantly enhance the cultivation efficiency for both Chu Yanqing and Ye Yunxi, making their efforts yield twice the results.

Even Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Qilin Flood Dragon would benefit from being situated here.

"Regarding this matter, everything will proceed according to Fourth Grand-Uncle’s decision!" Chu Yanqing responded respectfully.

While she desired to remain in this location, it was customary to offer polite words.

Hearing this, Ye Xuefan chuckled heartily. Since Ye Jingcheng had emerged as the family’s pillar, the clan had experienced a cascade of fortunate developments.

They now not only commanded the Desert Sea but also possessed a Mini World featuring a Tier Four Pure Water Attribute Spiritual Vein.

With the Ye Family’s current resources, they were on par with some newly ascended Nascent Soul clans.

"Xingyu, what are the most abundant items in this Clan Mountain’s Treasure Vault?" Ye Xuefan inquired of Ye Xingyu.

Chu Yanqing had conspicuously omitted any mention of the Treasure Vault. However, in Ye Xuefan’s estimation, such an omission was entirely unnecessary.

Nevertheless, it was precisely this discretion that further deepened Ye Xuefan’s satisfaction with Chu Yanqing.

In actuality, if the opportunity arose, he still hoped that the Ye Family’s Cultivators would form more marital alliances with members of other clans.

Compared to Loose Cultivators, these clan-affiliated Cultivators possessed a better understanding of how to be fitting wives and daughters-in-law for the Ye Family.

Even if Loose Cultivators attempted to emulate proper conduct, they would find it challenging to succeed, as they rarely had exposure to such societal nuances.

As Loose Cultivators, their primary focus remained on their own self-interest, and their trust in others was notably limited.

This was the underlying reason for the clan’s emphasis on Clan Studies.

To such an extent that even some Cultivators serving in the Foreign Affairs Tower now received instruction in Clan Studies to ensure the preservation of the Ye Family’s authority and deterrence.

"Fourth Grand-Uncle, this time, the Treasure Vault is most heavily stocked with Puppets. The majority are Beast Puppets crafted from Soul-Devouring Insects; they are exceptionally intricate, much like the Insect Puppets we acquired in the Desert Sea previously, and remarkably lifelike!"

"In addition to that, a vast quantity of Spirit Stones and strategic resources are stored here!"

"There are two hundred Upper-grade Spirit Stones, five thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and one million five hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Furthermore, a variety of Spirit Talismans and Spirit Pills, along with quite a few Spirit Medicines, are present. There are even twenty Foundation Establishment Pills, thirty portions of Earthly Fiend Qi, and one portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid. It appears this was the Jia Family’s pre-arranged escape route!" Ye Xingyu stated.

"It feels as though they were anticipating the Zhang Family's actions; what I don't comprehend is, since the Jia Family and Zhang Family share a Teleportation Array, where could they possibly flee to?" Ye Xingyu questioned.

The Ye Family’s gains this time were undeniably immense. The Spirit Stones, Spirit Talismans, and Spirit Pills were a given, but there were also the Spirit Fish within the Spirit Lake, and a full three large Spirit Medicine Gardens.

The population of Mortals also swelled to two hundred thousand.

While it might not seem significantly superior to a large Oasis on the surface,

one must consider that this Mini World still possesses considerable potential for expansion. The Ye Family could accommodate more Mortals and clan members within its confines.

In reality, for many within the Ye Family, life in the Desert Sea was not as idyllic as imagined; after all, the harsh sunlight, even with the Oasis Arrays, was relentlessly fierce.

This arrangement would permit relatives of those with Spirit Root bloodlines to relocate to the Mini World and experience a more comfortable existence.

"Let's go and investigate Jingcheng's situation!" Ye Xuefan expressed his curiosity at this moment.

Having identified the Dream-Devouring Worm, discerning the unique nature of Ye Jingcheng’s Dream-Devouring Worm, and witnessing Ye Jingcheng’s peculiar actions,

he was understandably intrigued.

Furthermore, it hadn't been long since Ye Jingcheng’s Dream-Devouring Worm had successfully achieved advancement.

Consequently, he hadn't yet had the opportunity to inform the other clan elders.

However, at this precise moment, Ye Jingcheng's expression was a mixture of delight, astonishment, and considerable anticipation!

He was delighted that the Dream-Devouring Worm could indeed circumvent standard Soul Bans and execute a Soul Search!

And this was achieved by the assimilation of memories into a dreamlike state.

What astonished him were the Jia Family’s insights into the Soul Perishing Secret Realm, as well as their knowledge of the Central Domain.

Regarding the Central Domain, it was, naturally, a significantly more prosperous continent compared to the Eastern Domain.

Its territory far surpassed that of the Eastern Domain.

Moreover, Teleportation Arrays were commonplace there, unlike in the Eastern Domain where each clan jealously guarded its Teleportation Arrays, fearing external access.

Simultaneously, the nine prominent Human Race factions in the Central Domain were widely acknowledged.

Each of these nine possessed a Divinity Transformation Cultivator overseeing their operations.

Among them were two Demon Sects, one major Buddhist Sect, three major Righteous Immortal Sects, and three Immortal Families.

Ye Jingcheng found it surprising that Penglai Immortal Sect was categorized under one of the two Demon Sects.

It was evident that Penglai Immortal Sect maintained a Teleportation Array connecting to the Central Domain.

He had simply not anticipated Penglai Immortal Sect's reputation in the Central Domain to be so notoriously poor.

Certainly, Ye Jingcheng wished to delve deeper at this juncture, but regrettably, this constituted the entirety of the information concerning the Central Domain.

Furthermore, the Jia Family had never actually utilized the Teleportation Array within the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

They had only discovered records indicating it was a Teleportation Array established by the ancient Celestial Sand Sect.

However, the inheritance of the Celestial Sand Sect had not been acquired by the Jia Family.

Nor did they possess knowledge of whether the Celestial Sand Sect still had any successor forces in the Central Domain.

Should the Ye Family intend to leverage the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls for expansion into the Central Domain, they would need to await the Earth Dragon Demon King's breakthrough to Tier Five.

Only then would their endeavors be significantly more secure.

Contemplating this, Ye Jingcheng let out a prolonged sigh of relief.

With access to the Central Domain, the resources the Ye Family currently possessed in the Desert Sea could be converted into their own tangible assets.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Loose Cultivators of the Desert Sea, even after a century or two of development, they might prove of limited benefit to the Ye Family.

As for the Yan Kingdom in the Eastern Domain, the constraints were considerably more substantial; the various Sects engaged in excessive mutual scheming, making peaceful development for the Ye Family an excessively draining endeavor for the Heart Spirit.

The critical factor, as Ye Jingcheng saw it, was that the Qinghe Sect boasted two Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. Coupled with their Profound River Infinite Sword Array, and a stable alliance with the Celestial Corpse Sect, the Taiyi Sect and Tian Dao Sect might find themselves outmatched.

This situation, naturally, would place the Ye Family in a precarious position.

"Fourth Grand-Uncle, I bring excellent news..." Ye Jingcheng declared, seeing Ye Xuefan and the others approach. He wasted no time in relaying his findings.

He saw no need for secrecy; everyone present was a core cultivator of the Ye Family, trustworthy individuals essential for the clan's future endeavors.

Ye Jingcheng's current focus was on becoming the clan's strongest combatant and serving as a mentor. His daily schedule, packed with cultivation and Pill Formula research, left him with no time for managing commercial ventures.

"This is indeed marvelous news! That Dream-Devouring Worm is truly remarkable. When the opportunity arises, perhaps you could arrange for your Dream-Devouring Worm to crossbreed with the clan's other Spirit Insects!" Ye Xuefan exclaimed, his vision broadened by the worm's capabilities.

It wasn't a matter of limited foresight, but the Dream-Devouring Worm's ability to circumvent Soul Bans was simply astonishing, promising immense benefits.

Developing such Spirit Insects could significantly ease the Ye Family's future operations.

"Certainly, that matter can be arranged!" Ye Jingcheng readily agreed.

However, his thoughts quickly turned to another discovery:

"Fourth Grand-Uncle, I also have a half-completed Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect Puppet here, along with a fully functional Tier Four Magic Puppet, possessing combat power equivalent to the Early Stage of the Fourth Tier!"

He produced a Storage Bag, which had belonged to Jia Qiantai of the Jia Family.

"Furthermore, Fourth Grand-Uncle, this is for you as well!" Ye Jingcheng recalled, retrieving a piece of Spirit Jade from Jia Zeyang's remains.

The jade was perfectly square and outwardly unremarkable, yet it was a Grotto Heaven.

This Grotto Heaven, named Jade Celestial Heaven by the Jia Family, was in a state comparable to the nascent Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven.

Lacking inherent spirituality, it offered no potential for growth. Its Spirit Vein was merely Tier Two Lower Grade, rendering it of little personal value to Ye Jingcheng.

However, for the clan, an additional Grotto Heaven would greatly facilitate future operations.

Unlike a Magic Artifact Space, a Grotto Heaven, once sufficiently stocked with Life Matter, could be stored within a Storage Bag.

For instance, during the recent expedition involving Ye Xuecang and his companions, possession of another Grotto Heaven might have allowed for an earlier withdrawal from Celestial Horse Pass.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Ye Xuefan responded, accepting the Spirit Jade.

Despite the Jade Celestial Heaven within being the size of a small mountain and likely incapable of expansion, it remained an exceptionally rare and valuable Grotto Heaven.

"Jingcheng, you have once again rendered invaluable service to the clan!" Ye Xuefan lavished praise upon him.

The others present were equally elated.

This treasure was of paramount importance to the entire Ye Family.

"Fourth Grand-Uncle, this success is owed to all of us; I am merely one contributor!" Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile.

He felt genuine happiness at that moment.

The gains from this endeavor were substantial, arguably rivaling those from the Zhang Family's Secret Realm. While that location held a Top-Grade Spirit Stone Vein, this discovery yielded intelligence leading to the Central Domain, in addition to the Jade Celestial Heaven.

Moreover, within his Storage Bag lay a Gold Condensing Pill.

He elected not to reveal this immediately due to the large number of clansmen present.

Jia Zeyang had intended to use this Gold Condensing Pill himself, but he was defeated by Ye Jingcheng before he could consume it, thanks to the Ye Family's timely discovery of this Mini World.

Ye Jingcheng planned to present the Gold Condensing Pill to Ye Xuefan in a few days. However, for the Gold Condensing Fruit within the Turtle Ancestor Grotto Heaven, which would be refined into a Gold Condensing Pill, he intended to request it, refine the pill himself, and bestow it upon Chu Yanqing.

As a Spirit Body cultivator currently at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, Chu Yanqing would undoubtedly advance to the Late Stage, perhaps even the peak, with the aid of this Tier Four Pure Water Attribute Spiritual Vein. Achieving the Golden Core stage was her next significant hurdle.

Naturally, preparations for her Golden Core breakthrough needed to commence in advance.

A husband's duty certainly included this.

Indeed, based on the clan's reward system, Ye Jingcheng had every right to claim the Gold Condensing Pill for himself.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuefan could have simply bided his time until the Gold Condensing Fruit ripened!
