The Ye Family traveled to the Chenjing Sea to acquire Chenjing Jade, using a safe route and stealth talismans. They lured away a Chenjing Demon King with a flying puppet, allowing their own Chenjing to approach the Demon Emperor's territory. As Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige prepared to enter the territory, they were confronted by two Chenjing.

Both of them were Body Cultivators, and they began Spirit Cultivation almost simultaneously. Layer upon layer of Turtle Shell appeared over Ye Haicheng’s body, while the ghostly black hide of the Star-Eyed Iron Ape surfaced over Ye Haige’s body, and streams of Wind Attribute Spiritual Energy began to spread across him.

Ye Haisheng glanced over from afar. Sensing the aura of the two, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes.

He was still only at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, and the gap between him and the other two was actually growing wider and wider.

In his view, this time was his chance.

He didn’t dare look for long. Under the effect of the Spirit Talisman, his figure became even more indistinct, and he also put the Chenjing away into his Spirit Beast Bag.

Although the Chenjing’s speed in the sea was decent, it was far too large a target, not suitable for searching for Chenjing Jade on the seabed.

His Divine Sense cautiously spread out, and he also tossed countless Blood Leeches out from within the Spirit Beast Bag.

These Blood Leeches rapidly dispersed. If there was danger, they could at least give him some warning.

His figure quickly delved deep into the seabed.

Although the Spirit Vein lay beneath the island, the Chenjing’s lair and the Chenjing itself were at the bottom of the sea.

This time, things went unexpectedly smoothly for Ye Haisheng; before long, he arrived at a stretch of seabed thickly studded with Spirit Jade.

All of these Spirit Jades were pitch-black and deep in color, just like the Chenjing’s hide—Spirit Jade that had been affected.

However, the Spiritual Energy intensity was only at Tier Three.

Ye Haisheng naturally wouldn’t recklessly harvest these Tier Three Chenjing Jades and expose himself.

When he saw a massive undersea cavern, Ye Haisheng swam into it and headed straight for the deepest point.

There he saw countless dusky Cyan Moonstones embedded throughout the cavern, each shedding a faint cyan Spiritual Aura.

These fluorites were likewise quite valuable, but Ye Haisheng still paid them no heed.

When he saw, at the very deepest point, beneath a slab of stone shaped like a huge nest, a palm-sized jet-black Chenjing Jade, it instantly seized all of Ye Haisheng’s Heart Spirit.

Within this Chenjing Jade, there had even formed a tiny whale Spirit Shadow, swimming up and down—it looked wondrous to the extreme.

Ye Haisheng stretched out his hand, grabbing toward the Tier Five Chenjing Jade.

When the Chenjing Jade fell into his hand, smooth and icy-cold, a terrifying surge of True Essence couldn’t help but pour toward Ye Haisheng’s fleshly body.

But this Chenjing Jade was meant for Ye Jingcheng to use in breaking through to Nascent Soul, so he naturally would not draw too much from it. He took out a prepared Golden Rattan Spirit Box and placed the Chenjing Jade inside.

This kind of Spirit Jade couldn’t be contained in a Jade Box.

Only a box made of High-Tier Spirit Wood could fully preserve its spirituality.

"Shff!"

"Shff!"

However, as Ye Haisheng took the Chenjing Jade, the Chenjings on the island above were clearly all alerted.

Moreover, countless auras on the island’s perimeter began spreading toward this place.

Obviously, innumerable Chenjings were rushing this way.

Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige were the first to flee off in different directions.

At this moment, the three fleeing together would clearly be even more dangerous; only by scattering would they have greater Vitality.

The three of them had in fact made preparations before coming.

Splitting up to escape had been agreed upon in advance.

Among them, Ye Haisheng had distributed quite a few Spirit Talismans, as well as the Chenjing; as long as he escaped beyond sensing range, his chances of survival were the greatest.

Ye Haisheng had no time for sentiment. Once he left the Chenjing Cave, he immediately cast Soul Guardian Blood Escape again.

As a strand of Blood Soul continuously tugged at him, his figure turned into a streak of scarlet Escape Light, vanishing from where he’d been.

This Soul Guardian Blood Escape was obtained by Ye Jingcheng, and was even more useful than Tri-Element Blood Escape. Its only flaw was that he needed to previously cultivate a Soul Guardian, and its duration wasn’t long.

After he fled out of the very core of the Sea Domain, Ye Haisheng still didn’t dare stop; he promptly began casting Tri-Element Blood Escape, opening up a considerable distance.

After using it three times, Ye Haisheng’s body was already swaying, and his complexion was starting to turn bluish.

He released the Chenjing, and as the Chenjing plunged into the sea, Ye Haisheng finally let out a true sigh of relief.

...

On another side, Ye Haicheng had already fully entered Spiritual Control. At this moment, he carried the Turtle Shell on his back, his figure towering.

True Essence surged in his hands, wielding three Magical Treasures, all of them Power-type Treasures.

The Chenjing kept unleashing Celestial Divine Light; each time the Divine Light fell upon his body, even with three layers of Great Desolate Profound Step, he could not completely dodge.

The colossal whale tail lashed down; even though, apart from the Turtle Shell, Ye Haicheng’s whole body was brimming with Geng Armor formed by the True Essence of the Profound Desolate Dominating Body Secret Manual...

He still couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan as he was smashed down into the seabed, spitting a large mouthful of fresh blood.

The gap in Cultivation was still too great, and moreover, the other’s talent was extraordinary as well.

Ye Haicheng did not immediately flee. At the beginning he’d run only to lure this Tier Four Chenjing Demon King away, to give Ye Haisheng time and space to escape.

Now, by not fleeing, he was letting Ye Haisheng get even farther away.

And in the distance, the Chenjing Demon King that had first been lured off was also rushing over.

Ye Haicheng’s eyes were utterly unafraid.

As a Body Cultivator, he craved this kind of Magical Combat.

In daily life, for the clan’s sake, he had no choice but to suppress this ferocity.

But at this moment, he already had reason he could not shirk from battle.

He swallowed a drop of Centennial Spiritual Milk and a Spirit Pill to restore True Essence.

In his hands, a tower, a pearl, and a set of gauntlets—three Magical Treasures, all Power-type.

He hammered them at the Chenjing in turn.

Terrifying Spiritual Light fell like fist after fist of solid blows, stirring the seawater into wave after wave.

The Chenjing’s furious roars rumbled out like Celestial Thunder, rolling in all directions.

Ye Haicheng’s fleshly body was strong, but the Chenjing’s flesh was clearly stronger. Even after Ye Haicheng swallowed a Blood-Rocking Pill, he was gradually becoming unable to hold on.

The difference in Cultivation, the difference in fleshly body, and that Divine Light on top of it all left Ye Haicheng somewhat powerless.

The Geng Spirit Armor formed from the Profound Desolate Dominating Body Secret Manual had already shattered by more than half, turning somewhat insubstantial.

"Don’t think you’ve got me pinned, you damned Chenjing!" Ye Haicheng bellowed.

A Tier Four Spirit Puppet floated into existence before him, just in time to block that Celestial Divine Light, opening up a gap for him to move.

Seizing the chance, Ye Haicheng, under the incredulous gaze of the Chenjing Demon King, landed right in front of the Chenjing.

It opened its massive maw, about to swallow Ye Haicheng whole.

But Ye Haicheng had already cultivated Great Desolate Profound Step to Great Success; with eerie swiftness he turned into a Spirit Shadow, alighting beside the whale’s eyes.

Two Tier Four spear-type Magical Treasures appeared in Ye Haicheng’s hands, and he hurled them viciously.

They pierced into the Chenjing Demon King’s eyes.

The pain made the latter throw its head back in a sky-shaking howl, roaring again and again; the entire sea seemed as if it would overturn.

Ye Haicheng glanced over at the nearby Tier Four Spirit Puppet—only to see it smashed to dust by a single swing of the whale tail.

Ye Haicheng had no time to feel distressed. Seeing another Tier Four Demon King rushing over from afar...

He rapidly cast Soul Guardian Blood Escape in succession, turning into Spiritual Light and vanishing swiftly above the Sea Domain!

...

On yet another side, Ye Haige was likewise fleeing at speed.

Chasing him from behind was that Tier Three Peak Chenjing.

However, Ye Haige at this moment was not merely running.

A fierce gleam had appeared in his eyes.

He was now at Purple Mansion Peak, a Wind Attribute Body Cultivator, and moreover had both the White-Browed Cyan Wolf and the Star-Eyed Iron Ape—two Great Demons—assisting him.

He naturally wasn’t willing to simply retreat.

It was just that that Celestial Divine Light was truly vexing.

Although the Tier Three Chenjing’s Celestial Divine Light was still quite weak, its buffs and debuffs were nonetheless considerable, and its massive whale tail whipped up tsunami after tsunami, blocking Ye Haige’s path.

Ye Haige summoned a Wind Attribute tornado in an instant, whirling it toward the tsunamis.

Once the tsunamis were torn apart, two Tier Three Top-Grade Wind-Breaking Swords shot out at once, streaking toward the Tier Three Peak Chenjing’s eyes.

The force of that volley was terrifyingly great; even the Divine Light couldn’t completely block it.

It was ripped cleanly apart.

At the same time, Ye Haige stepped out with Desolate Step, counter-charging in, exploiting his agility to land on the Chenjing’s forehead.

His hand suddenly turned into a sharp claw, stabbing toward the Chenjing’s most vulnerable spot—its eyes!

Yet at just that moment, a massive Water Dragon Pillar shot toward Ye Haige.

This Water Dragon Pillar knocked Ye Haige’s body back hundreds of zhang in an instant.

The terrifying force made Ye Haige involuntarily spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You treacherous whale—using Flood Dragon methods is one thing, but you’ve actually refined Heavy Water as well!" A trace of gravity flashed through Ye Haige’s eyes.

And sensing that Ye Haicheng had also escaped, he no longer dared tarry. He likewise cast Soul Guardian Blood Escape and fled!
