True Monarch Chunyang and others are attacked by Flood Dragon and Chenjing Demon Emperors while trying to escape a beast tide. Ye Jingcheng destroys a teleportation array and plans to report the beast tide while also requesting Fairy Linghong's help due to his injuries. He then sends valuable beast souls and a Jade Qilin Flood Dragon back with Ye Xuefan for clan members to use for soul injection. Finally, Ye Jingcheng begins upgrading his Grotto Heaven's spirit vein using spoils from the Celestial Water Sect to support his growing cultivation needs and his family's future expansion.

With the steady enhancement of the Spirit Vein, the Spiritual Radiance overhead in the grotto became increasingly thick and heavy.

In the warm sunlight, the Spiritual Radiance grew more dazzling, adding a spectacularly colorful sight to the grotto.

Even the Celestial Dream Butterfly, who usually disliked movement, flew out at this moment, dancing amidst the Spiritual Energy Tide and Spiritual Radiance.

Its wings were originally rainbow-hued, but now under the sunlight and Spiritual Radiance, it seemed even more dazzling and enchanting.

Moreover, as its wings spread, it left behind miraculous patterns of light, appearing like mirages floating in the void, making the grotto even more mysterious.

Ye Jingcheng watched, somewhat unintentionally captivated in spirit.

And it was worth noting that Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Sense now rivaled a Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and yet it was still stirred, which spoke to the strength of the Celestial Dream Butterfly.

Evidently, the illusion array ability of the Celestial Dream Butterfly grew stronger after breaking through Tier Four.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the other Spirit Beasts; he found that the Six-Colored Cloud Deer shut its eyes, its breath steady and unaffected, but the White-Browed Cyan Wolf, Golden Falcon, and Golden Scale Beast were all ensnared, eyes glazed over, especially the Golden Scale Beast, which intermittently let out cries of laughter.

Its two forepaws kept tapping towards the void. Through the Soul Contract, Ye Jingcheng sensed that the Golden Scale Beast had fallen into an illusion realm, treading upon a Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

If it were accustomed to speaking human language, it would probably be laughing wildly right now.

Apart from these beasts, most Wood Demons were snared, while the Peach Wood and Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit showed little reaction.

As for the Jade Ring Rat, it was now drooling as if devouring some Spirit Pill.

Only the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird scratched its head, not understanding why the Golden Scale Beast laughed so gleefully.

Was the radiance truly so beautiful?

Ye Jingcheng intended to transmit a message to have the Celestial Dream Butterfly tone it down, but noticed that its magical light had already weakened.

It seemed the Spiritual Energy was lacking, and it looked at Ye Jingcheng proudly, as if flaunting its prowess, yet appearing even more arrogantly.

Compared to previous casualness, Ye Jingcheng squinted his eyes, becoming more focused.

Normally, the Celestial Dream Butterfly couldn’t conduct illusion array manipulation on so many Bloodline Spirit Beasts.

Yet it clearly leveraged the Spirit Vein’s Tide to amplify the strength of the illusion skill.

This indicated that with more Spiritual Energy, the Celestial Dream Butterfly could produce far more terrifying illusions.

Especially, the nature of the illusion skill could serve as a Heart Demon.

This made Ye Jingcheng excited; perhaps he could use the Celestial Dream Butterfly’s illusion on the Ye Family cultivators soon breaking through the Golden Core to Nascent Soul, assisting them in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Coupled with the Ye Family’s Spirit Pills and treasures and the Primordial Demon Crystal Jade Bed, the Ye Family’s future success rate of breakthroughs might substantially increase.

Especially for the younger generation like Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng, who lacked experience.

Ye Jingcheng took out several Spirit Pills, rewarding the Celestial Dream Butterfly and began to reflect.

Indeed, the Demon Beast brought from the Spirit Realm by the Ye Family was exceptional.

Its talent and abilities were extraordinary.

The only pity was that Ye Jingcheng was an ordinary person in his previous life; dreaming of past lives likely amounts to nothing, unable to augment his combat power. Otherwise, he would want to dream of his past life, maybe acquiring more past secret techniques.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng also entered the Treasure Pavilion, starting to inspect the treasures and Storage Bags.

After all, this was much of the Qi Country’s Celestial Water Sect’s wealth.

Even Ye Jingcheng was greatly tempted.

Moreover, because the Storage Bags needed opening one by one, even with the help of Peach Wood and Stone Spirit, it took more than half an hour, indicating the abundant number of treasures.

When all the treasures were sorted, despite Ye Jingcheng’s deep reserves, he couldn’t help but smile at this moment.

In terms of Spirit Stones, besides the previous twenty million, he found another sixteen million Spirit Stones.

Regarding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he acquired three Tier Five Spiritual Medicines, one being Tier Five Dragon Cloud Ganoderma, an essential herb of Tier Five Jade Qilin Pill.

This brought him another step closer to refining the Tier Five Jade Qilin Pill.

Additionally, two drops of Tier Five Earth Cold Essence Marrow, one piece of Tier Five Celestial Flame Crystal, and various Tier Four Spirit Materials, all for refining Tier Five Lifebound Magical Treasure.

There were also fifteen drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk to replenish Golden Core and Nascent Soul True Essence, and not lacking ordinary Tier Four Spirit Materials.

In terms of Magical Treasures, Ye Jingcheng found two Tier Five Treasures, twenty-three Tier Four Treasures, one hundred forty-three Tier Three Treasures, and eleven hundred Tier One and Two Spiritual Artifacts.

Among the Tier Five Treasures, one was the Celestial Cold Cloud Shield, and the other was the Cyan Light Quenching Essence Cone.

However, both treasures were not considered top-tier; the Cold Cloud Shield was extensively damaged, needing a Tier Five Refiner to re-quench for use.

As for the Quenching Essence Cone, its power was mediocre, failing to elicit much interest from Ye Jingcheng.

Only a cyan Jade Book attracted Ye Jingcheng’s attention.

The material of this Jade Book was exceptionally unique, and Ye Jingcheng couldn’t identify it at the moment.

Moreover, it bore a Spirit Diagram, resembling some kind of Treasure Diagram.

The most crucial aspect is that this Treasure Diagram was retrieved from True Monarch Beixuan’s storage bag, where it was kept with utmost care.

Ye Jingcheng examined it and felt a sense of familiarity, as if it was related to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng did not hesitate, summoned the Dream-Devouring Worm, and began the Soul Search.

Only after the Soul Search did he finally understand.

This Jade Book is indeed an artifact of the Earth Immortal Realm, and of considerable importance, serving as the North Nether Jade Guide of the North Nether Immortal Palace.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, anything that can be called an Immortal Palace holds significant prestige, further relating to its core areas. It’s said that the last time, a cultivator from the Baiqiao Immortal Sect brought out a Tier Six Immortal Transformation Pill from there, achieving Divinity Transformation in one stroke.

However, unfortunately, the North Nether Immortal Palace does not appear in the Earth Immortal Realm every time. The last appearance was nine hundred years ago.

But for Ye Jingcheng, the North Nether Jade Guide is indeed an unexpected joy.

After organizing the magical artifacts, Ye Jingcheng also began to take out a rather large storage bag and started packing some treasures.

Among them, the Tier Five Quenching Essence Cone was also stored in the storage bag by Ye Jingcheng.

And included were as many as ten million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, along with many Tier Four Spirit Medicines.

Considering the harvest from the Celestial Water Sect, Ye Jingcheng deliberated for a while but decided not to take it all for himself.

After all, the Medicine King Valley and the Taiyi Sect were supporting the Ye Family.

Even though the Ye Family has potential, and a Demon Refining Pillar, all remains uncertain. If the Medicine King Valley becomes unhappy, there’s no need for them to act; they could simply delay or leak some information, which could be devastating for the Ye Family.

Indeed, it may seem that Ye Jingcheng took many treasures, but in reality, they weren’t precious and could be seen as distributing two to three parts to the Medicine King Valley.

After distributing the treasures, Ye Jingcheng also took out a secret technique and began to study it carefully.

Although he knew Fairy Linghong would teleport to Lingyun Peak at the first opportunity, Ye Jingcheng could not emerge from seclusion immediately.

Injuries should indeed appear as injuries!

Having caused such a commotion in the Qi Country Celestial Water Sect and stirred up such a vast beast tide in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

If there truly were no injuries, perhaps the Medicine King Valley might start to be wary of him.

Unlike before, when the Ye Family always had their trump card, at this point, the Ye Family had essentially been fully exposed to the Medicine King Valley and the Eastern Domain Sects.

...

While Ye Jingcheng was in seclusion, at this moment in the Assembly Hall of the Medicine King Valley.

Four Nascent Souls gathered together, their faces now both joyful and somewhat worried.

Joyful because the Ye Family performed exceptionally well, effectively resolving their crisis.

If the Penglai Sect intended to take action next, they would have to act themselves, and once they do, the Jinguang Temple would certainly not stand idly by.

But the concern was that they feared they would not make it in time, unable to protect the Ye Family, which might lead the Spirit Talisman Sect and Blood King Valley to be disappointed in them.

"In your opinion, how should we respond?" True Monarch Bailian also inquired.

"Master brother, I believe we must do everything to protect the Ye Family, and I also think that by protecting the Ye Family, we could carve out another path for our Medicine King Valley," one Peak Mid-stage Nascent Soul couldn’t help but say.

This cultivator is also one of the main pillars of the Medicine King Valley, named True Monarch Qingchen, who lived during the same period as True Monarch Bailian, although the latter’s brilliance overshadowed him.

"That Ye Jingcheng’s ability to break through to Nascent Soul might not be due to any secret realm but rather a retreat path to the Central Domain, or else they wouldn’t have more than three Nascent Soul combat powers."

"To generate so many Nascent Souls, and considering how suppressed the Ye Family has been over the years while still developing rapidly, aside from the Central Domain or other realms, I can’t think of anywhere else. They may have been developing in the Central Domain for hundreds of years," True Monarch Qingchen added.

The Medicine King Valley achieved development because, eight hundred years ago, they gained control of a teleportation array leading to the Western Domain, gradually planning for today’s achievements.

Therefore, he understood the complexity behind the Ye Family.

"Master Brother Bailian, I also feel that Master Brother Qingchen is correct. If Ye Jingcheng was truly born two hundred years ago, his talent surpasses even Master Brother Bai Yao. There’s great potential for him to achieve Divinity Transformation in the future. Regardless, we must protect the Ye Family, plus the Ye Family might still have methods against the Penglai Dao Foundation Establishment Method, which makes them indispensable!" The remaining two Nascent Souls nodded in agreement.

At this moment, none of them thought of disrupting the delicate balance.

After all, Penglai’s methods in recent years have been quite unpleasant. Over the past forty years, the Medicine King Valley hasn’t developed, and their situation has barely stabilized.

Considering that they provided support not only to cultivators but also treasures to various sects.

Moreover, in opposition to Penglai, their financial income in the Eastern Domain has been minimal.

No matter how dire the situation becomes, it couldn’t get much worse.

However, they were concerned about not being able to protect the Ye Family.

Given that the Buddhist monks of Jinguang Temple would not have the same consideration for the Eastern Domain’s forces as they do.

They only needed True Monarch Bai Yao to break through and preach in the Eastern Domain.

"Master Brother, I’ll go with Niece Linghong, I have a spirit treasure, and even if we encounter a Late-Stage Nascent Soul, it won’t be too much trouble."

"Of course, we need to arrange more teleportation arrays!" True Monarch Qingchen said.
