The group successfully broke through an array and entered a spirit mountain. After confirming the area was clear of hostile beasts using a special smoke, they harvested spirit medicine and found secret techniques. They then discovered what appeared to be a cultivator's cave dwelling. As they approached the main hall of the secret realm, Ye Jingyu grew uneasy and abruptly led the group away. His Jade Ring Rat then detected the presence of others on the final spirit mountain, confirming Ye Jingyu's suspicions of an enemy trap.

Atop the Spirit Mountain, mist swirled around towering palaces.

Within the palace complex, a hazy Spirit Pool lay tranquil, occasionally manifesting vibrant, five-colored illusions. The dynamic atmosphere, coupled with the lush Spirit Plants thriving all around, made the place look like an earthly paradise.

However, beneath the pool, over thirty Blood Corpses were restlessly agitating. Among them were six Tier Four Blood Corpses, thirteen Tier Three Peak Blood Corpses, and twenty-one Late Stage of Third Tier Blood Corpses. Baring their hideous fangs with crimson eyes, they were on the verge of slipping out of control due to the constant nourishment of the Blood Pool.

The corpse hair on these Blood Corpses stood on end, each strand stiff as a Silver Needle. They pierced the Spirit Pool, causing blood-red bubbles to constantly well up from the depths.

When the bubbles broke the pool’s surface, they transformed into a gushing flow of Spiritual Spring water, releasing waves of white Spiritual Mist that merged into the vibrant illusions.

"Make these Spirit Corpses of yours show some restraint!" In the deepest part of the pool, where a small pocket of space remained, the Qinghe Sect’s only Golden Core Cultivator, Master Dayan, frowned and spoke up.

He sensed that because the Blood Corpses hadn’t seen action yet, coupled with the continuous infusion of blood light via a Secret Technique to bolster their Spiritual Might, they were already nearing the brink of losing control. Some of them even had frantic gleams in their eyes, occasionally shooting glares down at the space below.

Naturally, the main target of their glares was him, a Golden Core Cultivator of the Qinghe Sect.

Furthermore, he had just used the Sensing Array to detect the arrival of the Ye Family’s Spiritual Ship. He also sensed that the newcomers seemed to have noticed something amiss and left immediately.

"They’re merely gathering other Cultivators. It’s impossible for the Ye Family to only send three people in," Master Golden Armor said nonchalantly from the side. He clearly possessed more information, having even seen exactly how many people were on the Spiritual Ship.

He was certain the other party hadn’t discovered anything. After all, this was True Monarch Chi Xue’s Ancient Treasure. If there was a flaw in it, the blame for their failure wouldn’t fall on them.

As for the Blood Corpses’ growing aggression, it wasn’t a problem to them. On the contrary, it was a massive Combat Power they heavily relied on. The more frenzied the corpses were, the stronger they became. If they soaked a little longer, the Tier Four Spirit Corpses could very well unleash the strength of Mid-stage Fourth Tier Blood Corpses. As for the Tier Three Peak Spirit Corpses, they would absolutely be capable of giving Golden Core Cultivators a hard time.

When that time came, no matter how many Golden Core Cultivators the enemy brought, they would all become his merits.

"Just wait. Once we kill these Golden Core Cultivators, Ye Jingcheng definitely won’t be able to resist retaliating. When that happens, we’ll kill the Ye Family’s Nascent Soul Cultivators, leaving the Medicine King Valley helpless and isolated. Once this is all over, your Qinghe Sect and my Celestial Corpse Sect will be able to take over the Medicine King Valley’s position and become Upper-class Sects of the Eastern Domain," Master Golden Armor continued via Transmission.

It had to be said that Master Golden Armor’s words were extremely enticing, completely putting Master Dayan’s worries to rest.

If the Qinghe Sect could become a First-class Sect, he would naturally have the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Currently, not only did the Qinghe Sect only have one Nascent Soul Cultivator—True Monarch Qinghe—but they also didn’t have many Golden Core Cultivators.

The main reason was that the Ye Family was too hateful. They hid their true strength exceptionally well. Master Xi Wang, True Monarch Qingxi, and other core Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Qinghe Sect had all fallen at the hands of the Ye Family.

To think they once had the nerve to masquerade as a Foundation Establishment Clan.

Thinking of this, Master Dayan gritted his teeth in hatred. Naturally, he didn’t believe that the Ye Family had only been a Foundation Establishment Clan two hundred years ago.

They must have been deeply entrenched and concealed within the Taihang Mountain Range for over a thousand years.

Otherwise, it was impossible for them to reveal themselves as a Nascent Soul Clan now, with more than one Nascent Soul Combat Power to boot.

"If they don’t take the bait, I’ll use the Ancient Treasure to cast an Illusion of a Gold Condensing Fruit Tree!" Master Golden Armor added confidently, taking out a Gold Condensing Fruit.

To Golden Core Cultivators and Golden Core Clans, very few could resist the temptation of a Gold Condensing Pill or a Gold Condensing Fruit.

Hearing this, the other Cultivators nodded in agreement.

Some were already calculating what kind of Spirit Corpses they would refine the bodies of the Golden Core Cultivators into.

...

On an unnamed Spirit Mountain, a solitary pavilion stood at its peak. The surrounding trees and vegetation were quite profound and exceptionally verdant.

Even the species of the plants were meticulously chosen.

After Ye Jingyu observed the surroundings, he summoned his Flying Sword and shredded all the nearby Spirit Wood to pieces.

These Spirit Woods were arranged in a specific sequence, resembling an Array or Shadow Wood Puppets. They could even be a trick of the Celestial Desolate. Naturally, Ye Jingyu couldn’t leave them intact to snoop on them for no reason.

Once the area was leveled to the ground, he gathered the Tier Two and above Spirit Wood into a Storage Bag and buried it deep underground, intending to retrieve it upon their departure.

As for the remaining Tier One Spirit Plants, they were entirely destroyed.

Witnessing Ye Jingyu’s extreme caution, Ye Jingfeng, standing by the side, naturally felt outclassed and secretly took mental notes.

Ye Jingyong, on the other hand, let out a long breath of relief.

His heart was filled with gratitude. Fortunately, Ye Jingyu was leading them this time. He knew for a fact that he would never have noticed such subtle details on his own.

As the commotion of the destruction spread, it wasn’t long before several Spiritual Ships could be seen flying over, even without any Spirit Talismans being sent out.

They were precisely the Spiritual Ships of the other factions and families.

Among them, the Tian Dao Sect’s Spiritual Ships were the fastest. They had split into two ships to search the area, while the remaining three Great Golden Core Clans had split their forces even more.

They had thought something significant had happened here, but upon seeing the bare, leveled ground, they looked at Ye Jingyu in astonishment.

"Those Spirit Woods were a bit of an eyesore. It’s much cleaner this way!" Ye Jingyu said with a smile, then took the initiative to enter the pavilion.

The pavilion was enveloped by an Array. The other Golden Core Cultivators immediately understood this was for the sake of secrecy.

After having their respective Purple Mansion Cultivators wait outside, they stepped into the pavilion.

Once everyone was inside, a Spirit Diagram appeared in Ye Jingyu’s hand. On it, the Spirit Mountain they had passed by earlier was clearly marked.

"Everyone, there should be a huge haul to be found here, though it naturally comes with danger. Therefore, I would like to ask, how well-prepared is everyone?" Ye Jingyu asked frankly.

His gaze primarily swept across the Gu Family, the Xiao Family, the Xuan Family, and some of the more low-profile Golden Core Cultivators of the Tian Dao Sect.

He was well aware of the strength of Master Mo Dao and the Tian Dao Sect’s Golden Core Combat Power that favored the Ye Family.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come in knowing how perilous the situation was.

For this very purpose, Ye Jingcheng had even given him a powerful treasure, specifically instructing that Master Mo Dao should carry it.

"Our Gu Family has a Tier Four Demon King—the Golden-Winged Silver-Backed Mantis Demon King—as well as a Tier Four Golden Armor Profound Puppet." At this moment, the Gu Family’s Golden Core Cultivator, Gu Yulai, was the first to speak.

As an established Golden Core Clan, the Gu Family naturally possessed profound foundations.

The Xiao Family’s Golden Core Cultivator was their patriarch, Xiao Yuntian.

Seeing that the Gu Family’s Golden Core Cultivator had spoken, Xiao Yuntian had no more reservations. He stated directly, "Our Xiao Family doesn’t have anything like that, but we do have a Tier Four Blood Essence Dragon Body Pill. It can temporarily boost my Cultivation to the Middle Stage of Golden Core."

Only the Xuan Family’s patriarch, Xuan Cheng, blushed slightly. He mulled things over for a moment but couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

Compared to the Xiao Family, their Xuan Family was even more lacking.

The only reason they even had a Golden Core Cultivator was because he had luckily obtained a Tier Four Demon Pill, allowing him to break through and become a Fake Pill Cultivator.

He hadn’t expected there to be such danger within this Secret Realm, so he wasn’t well-prepared. After all, he had only come to scavenge for loot.

But at this moment, it was a matter of pride for the various families and factions.

He went over several of his treasures in his mind, but compared to what the others had brought, they were simply too inferior.

In the end, he remained silent.

As for the five Golden Core Cultivators of the Tian Dao Sect, three of them hailed from the First Peak. The Ye Family knew them inside out; they had always belonged to Master Mo Dao’s faction.

Of the remaining two Golden Core Cultivators, one was the One-Slash Night Blade True Master, who had once tried to bribe Ye Jingfeng, and the other was Chi Yuan True Master from the Fifth Peak.

"I can unleash a complete second slash," Master Ye Feng said directly.

"I possess the Five Elements Red Origin Banner Magical Treasure. It can barely manifest five Red Spirits, which should be enough to fend off five Cultivators at the Early Stage of Golden Core!" Chi Yuan True Master added.
