Elder Zhang, a clone of Zhang Zhiqiu, betrays and murders the two Jade Transformation Sect cultivators he was guiding. He reveals his Ninefold Spirit Body Technique allows for multiple clones, and that he needs more surrogate bodies. However, two masked figures, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, ambush and kill Zhang Zhiqiu's clone. Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng arrives at Chaotic Burial Mountain, where another of Zhang Zhiqiu's clones is hiding using a feigned death technique.

On the Chaotic Burial Mountain, after searching for a long time, Ye Jingcheng finally saw a slightly smaller hill.

He tugged at his Spirit-Blocking Robe and lowered his aura.

At the same time, he cautiously evaded all the arrays set by Zhang Zhiqiu’s clone before reaching the front of the mountain.

The Star Illusion Dharma Eye looked towards the underground, and after confirming that the coffin was still there, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

This coffin was a stone coffin, an ancient treasure that could block Divine Sense and even divination, which was Zhang Zhiqiu’s greatest reliance for his fake death strategy.

Zhang Zhiqiu’s methods were indeed very sophisticated, and Ye Jingcheng was quite worried that this clone might have already left.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhiqiu was extremely confident in the Sect’s Soul Ban he had obtained, believing that he would not be subjected to a Soul Search.

Thus, he continued to hide here, remaining in the same position.

After Ye Jingcheng located the stone coffin, he directly released the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, who now showed its true form, transforming into a hundred-foot Flood Dragon, sitting atop the mountain.

The ordinary stone coffin underground finally began to change, clearly sensing the changes outside.

The coffin lid opened, and a figure was about to perform a Blood Escape to flee with the coffin.

But by this time, it was already too late; the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor had already cast its Lifebound Divine Technique, the Mountain Prison Skill.

The Nascent Soul Mountain Prison and the Golden Core Mountain Prison were vastly different; if previously it was just ordinary mountain rocks gathering, now it gathered into a Golden Iron Mountain Prison, harder than Tier Four Profound Iron.

At this moment, as it gathered, even though Zhang Zhiqiu’s clone had Golden Core Peak strength, it could not escape.

Finally, the Mountain Collapse Skill was directly activated.

With a loud boom!

Zhang Zhiqiu’s clone hadn’t even fully awakened from his fake death process before turning into scattered fragments, not even leaving a complete corpse.

"This stone coffin is indeed an ancient treasure!" Ye Jingcheng watched as Zhang Zhiqiu’s clone completely perished, yet the stone coffin remained unscathed.

The Storage Bag and Spirit Beast Bag inside were also intact, which delighted him immensely.

With the elimination of Zhang Zhiqiu’s clone, the Ye Family could finally rest easy.

Moreover, the harvest this time was tremendous.

Through Soul Search, he learned that Zhang Zhiqiu had acquired the Thousand-year-old Cold Marrow Heart, the final spiritual object he needed for the Nascent Soul Pill was finally at hand.

This meant that as soon as Ye Jingcheng left the Earth Immortal Realm, he could start refining his Dao Heart, and once he reached the Golden Core Peak, he could begin refining the Nascent Soul Pill, then spend time in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng was very confident in his chances of successfully breaking through.

The Ye Family now had three elements to enhance the Nascent Soul breakthrough: the Nascent Soul Pill, the Five Demons Nascent Soul Secret Technique, and Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

The spiritual medicine for the former was already gathered, and he had now found one of the Five Demon Kings for the Five Demons Nascent Soul Secret Technique, which was Zhang Zhiqiu’s array-specialized Wood Demon Ancient Maple Tree.

Although this Ancient Maple Tree’s vitality had been greatly reduced by the Cyan Yang Flame from the Red Flame Fox, its strength had regressed significantly and it was still unruly and unwilling to serve another master, it could still be used as a lead for the Wood Demon.

Though there was a gap with the remaining Wood Demons, Ye Jingcheng could find them if he put his mind to it.

Additionally, along with the family’s current scheme for Chenjing Jade, the chances of breakthrough now exceeded fifty percent.

His True Essence was still concentrated in the Purple Mansion and Golden Core through the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique.

He could also pre-sense the strength of the Nascent Soul’s True Essence through the True Essence of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

In total, the chance of success would absolutely exceed seventy to eighty percent.

Fear that even some core Golden Core cultivators from the Immortal Sect would not have it so lavish.

Moreover, the gains from Zhang Zhiqiu’s hands were not limited to these.

Two Tier Five treasures, the Taiqing Sword and the Profound Yin Fan, although neither of these treasures were remarkable among Tier Five treasures, once Ye Jingcheng advanced to Tier Five, he would not need to purchase Tier Five treasures.

At that time, he could directly search for materials to refine his Lifebound Tier Five treasure.

In addition, there were ten drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, four Tier Four Top-Grade treasures, among which the Golden Tower made Ye Jingcheng the most delighted. He had already witnessed its power, which could suppress anything, whether for defense or offense, it was extremely excellent.

Besides the Golden Tower, there was also an armor, two needles, and three rings.

The armor was the newly obtained Gilded Profound Pattern Armor, whose defensive power was extremely excellent. According to the Soul Search, this armor was initially acquired by Master Rakshasa and was later taken by Zhang Zhiqiu after hunting him.

Including Master Rakshasa’s corpse and all his treasures and medicines, now they were all in Ye Jingcheng’s hands.

The remaining two needles, the Black Ghost Needle, presumably had now fallen into the hands of his two ancestors.

Besides the two needles, there were three Taiqian Rings.

These three Qian Rings were also top-grade treasures with strong trapping and killing abilities.

They could split into three and recombine back into one, with inscrutable mysteries.

Ye Jingcheng would find them particularly suitable for capturing some Demon Kings in the Earth Immortal Realm in the future.

Had Zhang Zhiqiu’s clone not been hiding inside the stone coffin and been discovered early by Ye Jingcheng and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, combined with using the Taiqian Ring and the ancient treasure stone coffin for defense, he might have withstood a few more breaths’ time.

Besides the Tier Four Top-Grade treasures, there were an additional twenty-three Tier Four treasures that he had obtained as per Soul Search, though most of these treasures only suited newly advanced Golden Core cultivators, they nevertheless represented significant wealth.

Regarding spiritual medicine, there were four Tier Five Spiritual Medicines, and eighteen Tier Four Spiritual Medicines.

Among them were one and a half Transformation Spirit Medicines.

Besides the half-stalk given by Mansion Master Xiao, there was also a Tier Five Fire Attribute Supreme Pure Spiritual Object Fire Essence Lotus, over four thousand years old.

Whether Ye Jingcheng took it post-Nascent Soul breakthrough later, or gave it to the Red Flame Fox for its breakthrough to Tier Five, it was excellent.

As for Tier Three Spiritual Medicines, there were even more.

If these treasures were converted into the value of Spirit Stones, Ye Jingcheng estimated they’d be worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng also collected the stone coffin into his Grotto Heaven, now, the Ye Family had two ancient treasures in total.

Moreover, the harvest from this journey in the Earth Immortal Realm was already more than sufficient for Ye Jingcheng.

Even if there were no further gains from now on, it would be entirely adequate to remain hidden in the Secret Realm.

After all, he had already gathered the ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill, found the Spiritual Spring Marrow of the Tier Four Spring Formula, and the Dream-Devouring Worm had also completed its soul-devouring and swallowed the Advancement Pill for its progression.

Everything Ye Jingcheng initially anticipated had now been obtained.

"Dragon Ancestor, let’s regroup with Second Uncle Ancestor and Fourth Uncle Ancestor first, then see if it’s necessary to take a look at the Heaven-Repairing Garden!" Ye Jingcheng said soon after.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor nodded and entered Ye Jingcheng’s Grotto Heaven.

Ye Jingcheng’s figure quickly vanished into the wilderness.

However, as Ye Jingcheng did not notice, several Flood Dragon Robe cultivators with Flood Dragon Horns landed in the place where Ye Jingcheng had previously stood.

The middle-aged man at the forefront couldn’t help but speak:

"It’s unexpected that there are Five-Tier tribe members from outside our Celestial Flood Dragon Sea appearing here."

"Uncle Qing Shui, our seniors’ Essence Blood aura hasn’t dispersed, they must have won," a young cultivator next to him added.

"Hmm, since they have won, there’s no need to worry. Let’s fetch that inheritance, according to records in the tribe, there should be Dragon Spirit Grass in the Spirit Medicine Garden, we need to hurry over!"
