Ye Jingyu successfully broke through to the peak of Purple Mansion, and his two flood dragons also advanced. While celebrating, Ye Jingyu sensed a powerful visitor, Fairy Linghong from Taiyi Sect. She revealed that Sikong Ziming and others had perished and warned the Ye Family to choose a side wisely amidst the impending conflict between Taiyi Sect and Penglai Demon Sect, hinting at drastic changes across the Eastern Domain.

As Fairy Linghong departed into the distance, Ye Jingyu also hurried towards Lingyun Peak.

At this moment, he didn’t care if Fairy Linghong noticed the anxiety in his heart.

If, as Fairy Linghong said, Medicine King Valley had invited Jinguang Temple, one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, to preach in the Eastern Domain, and many Golden Core cultivators of the Taiyi Sect hadn’t returned from the Penglai Demon Sect.

It would mean that the Taiyi Sect’s Nascent Souls likely had their Dao Foundations stolen.

He was well aware that if Penglai stole the Dao Foundation, they could access one’s memories.

Thinking that if Sikong Ziming’s Dao Foundation was stolen, most of the Ye Family’s secrets would be exposed to the Penglai Demon Sect.

Deciding how to react or choose is crucial.

If what Fairy Linghong said was false, merely a probing statement, then Ye Jingyu’s impatience was completely exposed regardless.

After all, he was likely seen through, and they knew he wasn’t truly Ye Jingcheng. When discussing Jinguang Temple and the Penglai Demon Sect, despite being shocked internally, his demeanor remained habitually calm.

This indicated that his knowledge of the Nine Great Immortal Sects was an exposure in itself.

He now needed to return swiftly to Lingyun Peak, using the Clan Token to inquire about Ye Jingcheng to discern truth from falsehood.

Upon returning to Lingyun Peak’s Assembly Hall, Ye Jingyu immediately activated the Array. As the Spirit Shield spread, it completely covered the Spirit Mountain. He even activated the Array, and the water vapor ascended to the sky, forming torrential dark clouds that unleashed a heavy rain around it.

In Ye Jingyu’s view, unless they were core members of the Inner Hall, the rest of the Ye Family members didn’t need to know.

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingshui were both in the grand hall watching Ye Jingyu, and even Ye Jingyun had returned by now.

"The matter is significant, Jing Yun, first communicate with Jing Feng and Uncle Xingyu to check on the situation with the Tian Dao Sect," Ye Jingyu transmitted his voice and spoke to Ye Jingyun.

Then he looked at Ye Jingli.

"Jing Li, look into the Ling Family of the Zhao Kingdom and the Gu Family of the Jin Kingdom. Ask about their situation, see if they want to participate in the lecture."

...

If Medicine King Valley really conducted a lecture, it wouldn’t be just the Ye Family invited.

If he guessed correctly, Medicine King Valley would not only collaborate with the Taiyi Sect and Tian Dao Sect but also reach out to the Spirit Talisman Sect of the Jin Kingdom, Blood King Valley of the Wei Kingdom, and other nearby sects.

As for the Celestial Corpse Sect and Qinghe Sect, in Ye Jingyu’s opinion, they most likely wouldn’t join.

These two sects could very well become the Ye Family’s upcoming adversaries.

When the Clan Token brought back Ye Jingcheng’s response, Ye Jingyu nodded with a solemn expression.

As expected, a member of the Taiyi Sect had been stripped of their Dao Foundation, making it very likely for the Penglai Demon Sect to know about the Ye Family.

According to Ye Jingcheng, this time the lecture by Jinguang Temple was likely due to Medicine King Valley having invited a Divine Monarch of Divinity Transformation from Jinguang Temple.

This means Medicine King Valley might actually be able to hold its ground in a short period of time.

Medicine King Valley’s Spirit Veins are the most suitable for cultivating Spirit Medicines, and they also have connections with other Divinity Transformation Sects, with a considerable number of Nascent Souls.

From Ye Jingcheng’s speculation, Medicine King Valley might have already obtained a Divinity Transformation Treasure Medicine.

Considering the Ye Family could potentially obtain the Five-Colored Nourishing Dao Lotus after three hundred years of careful planning, it’s normal for Medicine King Valley to have such a foundation from its unknown, longer schemes.

"We must attend the lecture by Jinguang Temple," Ye Jingyu stated resolutely.

Unless the Ye Family entirely abandoned the Eastern Domain, but abandoning it might expose the Ye Family’s situation in the Central Domain, even revealing the Desert Sea.

"However, those who go should be carefully chosen, without using the Bone Transformation Pill; perhaps it would be better for Ancestor or Jing Hu to attend!" Ye Jingyu stated.

The lecture by Jinguang Temple was a public event and would mark the first clash between Penglai and Jinguang Temple.

Whether Jinguang Temple would offer protection to the Ye Family was not yet settled, especially since this was in the Eastern Domain.

The hidden figures of the Ye Family, if they could avoid it, should not attend.

And spare some more time if possible.

Since Ye Jingcheng had been exposed in the Earth Immortal Realm, under normal circumstances, no one would associate him with the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom Ye Family, but the moment Ye Jingcheng appeared at Jinguang Temple’s lecture, with his aura, Spirit Beast, and cultivation technique largely identified, he would not be able to conceal his identity.

Thus, even if in the end Ye Xuecang or Ye Xuefan attended, it would be preferable to Ye Jingcheng going.

After all, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan had rarely acted in the Earth Immortal realm.

"Fourth Brother, replies have arrived from Jing Feng and Uncle Xingyu’s side. The Tian Dao Sect has also received Jinguang Temple’s invitation, and Master Mo Dao wants the Ye Family to send a Nascent Soul or a Golden Core to hold the line, as the Tian Dao True Monarch was slain by two Nascent Souls of the Qinghe Sect in collusion with the Celestial Corpse True Monarch from the Celestial Corpse Sect." Moments later, Ye Jingyun spoke.

The fall of the Tian Dao True Monarch was also bad news for the Ye Family.

Without the Tian Dao True Monarch’s opposition, the Qinghe Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect would surely become restless.

And now the Ye Family, to ensure stability, really had to depend on Medicine King Valley’s strength and Jinguang Temple’s stance.

The success of the lecture directly impacted the safety of the Eastern Domain Ye Family.

"Jing Yun, Jing Li, start arranging the Communications Beast clan members to tighten operations, focusing on the family’s growth in the Central Domain. If Jinguang Temple loses, be ready to abandon this area at any moment!"

"For the Demon Beasts, also have the Three-Eyed Demon Roc and Thunder Roc Race gather their demon troops, prepared to support the Ye Family’s retreat at any time!"

...

Qinghe Sect, Yanqing Commandery, Cyan River Peak.

Qinghe Grand Hall, at this moment, all the Golden Core cultivators of the Qinghe Sect in the Yan Kingdom have returned here.

Although several Golden Cores were lost in the Earth Immortal Realm, there are still eight Golden Cores gathered here.

Everyone is looking at Sect Leader Cyan Stream and Ancestor Qinghe.

"That cunning child from the Beast Desolate Ye Family dared to slander our Qinghe Sect; in this expedition to the Earth Immortal Realm, only their Ye Family did not go. If it’s not their Ye Family, who else could it be?" Even Ancestor Qinghe couldn’t help but feel some righteous anger.

He hadn’t expected that besides True Monarch Beihai’s demise in the Earth Immortal Realm, the Qinghe Sect in the Yan Kingdom would also be waiting with a mess for him.

The four sects of the Eastern Domain Lu Kingdom and Qi Kingdom have actually detained the Qinghe Sect’s Golden Core and Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment cultivators, demanding an explanation from Qinghe Sect.

If True Monarch Beihai hadn’t died, at this time, two True Monarchs would go to the East Sea, and everyone would have to show respect.

But now with only one Nascent Soul left, it’s starting to feel like being alone is difficult.

"Uncle Master, what should we do now ..." Master Qingxi couldn’t help but speak up.

"Don’t worry; with the spiritual objects I’ve brought back, you should first use them to break through to Nascent Soul, and after you become a Nascent Soul, we can discuss other matters. In these years, both the Taiyi Sect’s True Monarch and the Tian Dao Sect’s True Monarch have perished. Once you break through to Nascent Soul, unifying the Yan Kingdom will be straightforward. As for the Jinguang Temple’s lectures, just randomly send a Purple Mansion member." True Monarch Qinghe also waved his hand.

At this moment, he did not plan to go to the East Sea.

The other party will not likely kill the Qinghe Sect members; at most, they will be detained for some time.

All he needs to do is spread the news that Master Qingxi is breaking through to Nascent Soul.

As for the blame the Ye Family is putting on them, they will settle it eventually.

At Jinguang Temple, his Qinghe Sect has already joined forces with the Celestial Corpse Sect against Medicine King Valley in the Earth Immortal Realm, making reconciliation impossible.

The only fortunate thing is that this is the Eastern Domain, the domain of Penglai. Even if Medicine King Valley teams up with Jinguang Temple, they will not be Penglai’s match.

"Alright, you all may leave now. This time, the spiritual objects are not exclusively for one person. You all should strive harder; it may not be impossible to achieve the Nascent Soul opportunity!"

After saying this, True Monarch Qinghe also waved his hand, and everyone dispersed from the hall.

The Qinghe Hall is oriented north to south.

Inside the hall, one can see the endless wasteland and the vast clouds and mist, and more importantly, one can see the mighty moat, flowing eastward.

True Monarch Qinghe’s thoughts also grew more somber as he wanted to contemplate the future of Qinghe Sect and make early plans, but after much consideration, he could only let out a long sigh.

The clearer he thought things through, the more terrifying they seemed to him.

In his view, Sikong Ziming must have been secretly eradicated by Penglai.

He had heard the notorious name of the Demon Sect several times, and while the Celestial Corpse Sect can spare no effort to flatter, Qinghe Sect cannot.

Furthermore, this time, two Nascent Souls stayed voluntarily on Penglai Island...

-----------------

Desert Sea, Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

With the development by the Ye Family over the years, the Spirit Enhancing Wood has increasingly expanded, and the oasis area has also grown considerably.

The entire oasis is flourishing, and the number of cultivators and mortals cannot be compared to the past.

Various spirit beasts sometimes soar in the sky, sometimes roar, with many in the lake too, adding more vitality to the oasis.

In the sky, a green rainbow dispersed, revealing Ye Jingcheng’s Spiritual Ship, descending from the sky as well.

His gaze lingered around Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak, and upon seeing two additional beast valleys, he couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction.

Although opening the Beast Valley was something he had agreed to, the family had already arranged it without needing his intervention.

He finally landed directly in the Assembly Hall.

Seeing that Chu Yanqing wasn’t present, Ye Jingcheng sent a transmission.

He knew that Chu Yanqing was aware of the current urgent situation, and the Ye Family needed to avoid certain matters, hence he had actively chosen not to come.

Opening the hall doors, Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, Ye Xueliang, Turtle Ancestor, and Earth Dragon Demon Emperor were all present.

Everyone was also waiting for Ye Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng, this time the family has already decided: you won’t be going to the Eastern Domain; our target is to eliminate Hundred Beasts Sect and open a temporary market, as for the situations in the Eastern Domain, I and Haicheng will go!" Ye Xuecang spoke directly.

Currently, the dangers in the Eastern Domain are naturally extreme, and even with Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, it’s no different.

Because their opponent this time might be the Penglai Demon Sect.

If careless, the people of the Eastern Domain could face demise.

They were also afraid of Ye Jingcheng acting rashly, hence the decision was made even before he came.

"After eliminating Hundred Beasts Sect, you’ll enter seclusion and break through to Nascent Soul. As for matters in the Eastern Domain, Haicheng and I will be cautious. If things prove impossible, we’ll flee!" Ye Xuecang spoke again.

"Second Great Uncle..."

"This is the family’s order; your duty is to enter seclusion and break through to Nascent Soul. The family will handle the other matters. Rest assured, Haicheng and I won’t go willingly to death; this lecture at Jinguang Temple surely holds some confidence. If I’m not mistaken, Medicine King Valley must have obtained a Tier Six Divinity Transformation Treasure Medicine to break through to Divinity Transformation."

"For the time being, the Divinity Transformation at Jinguang Temple won’t leave, and until the Divinity Transformation battle is resolved, the Demon Sect won’t likely pay attention to us Golden Core Minor Races." Ye Xuecang continued.

"However, about the Yuanling Oasis, Qing Feng’s and that spirit beast’s affairs, you must go see them." After speaking, Ye Xuecang added again.
