Xingyuan True Monarch revealed the Righteous Sect's interest in the Ye family and Celestial Sand Sect, probing Ye Jingcheng about his origins. After Ye Jingcheng confirmed his family was from the Eastern Domain, Xingyuan elaborated on the dangers of the cultivation world and the strength of the Penglai faction. He then conveyed a significant promise from Zheng Yuan: if Ye Jingcheng reaches the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul before the next Earth Immortal Realm opens, he will personally take him as a disciple.

Only after several figures departed first did Ye Jingcheng leisurely walk out of the Lakeside Human World. Stepping outside, he let out a long sigh of relief. After this, the Ye Family could finally be considered on the right track in the Central Domain, and the Righteous Sect would no longer test them as they had before. After all, it was impossible for the Ye Family to be spies.

Waiting nearby, Ye Jing Hu walked over. "Eleventh Brother, is there any problem?" he asked with a worried expression.

"Everything went smoothly. It’s good news for now, but we need to instruct everyone in the family that our clan originated from the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom," Ye Jingcheng instructed.

Although the other party hadn’t asked which faction in the Eastern Domain they were from, it was obvious they knew of the Ye Family’s existence. They were likely also aware that the Ye Family possessed a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor. They certainly knew about the Desert Sea as well, but just as Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang hadn’t placed any importance on it, the Desert Sea was clearly not considered a treasure trove in their eyes. Since the Ye Family came from the Eastern Domain, their resources and Cultivators now had an origin story. Downplaying the Desert Sea meant downplaying the Earth Immortal Platform, which was naturally of utmost importance.

Although barely a dozen people in the Ye Family knew of the Earth Immortal Platform’s existence, and it was nearly impossible for anyone else to find out, they still wanted to minimize the risks. Even without the Peach Wood Array Breaker preventing any Golden Core Purple Mansion Cultivators from getting close—making it incredibly secure—they couldn’t be too careful. The Immortal Sect’s reach was vast, and similarly, the Demon Sect was bound to have numerous spies. By downplaying the Desert Sea and gradually turning it into a mere Teleportation Array link between the Ye Family and the Celestial Sand Sect, the risks to the Ye Family’s Desert Sea would drastically decrease.

"However, the Profound Celestial Demon Sect will definitely make a major move next," Ye Jingcheng said, his voice tinged with worry.

The situation between the Profound Celestial Demon Sect and the Righteous Immortal Sect was already tense. Now that the Ye Family controlled the Teleportation Array to the Eastern Domain, the Profound Celestial Demon Sect would certainly launch a massive offensive on behalf of their allies. Even the Celestial Sand Sect would be a primary target.

"Relocate the Sha Huang Mountain’s Teleportation Array and the main Spirit Medicine Gardens to Wangqing Prefecture. However, don’t upgrade the Spirit Veins just yet. In the future, we must strive to seize control of Tianshu Mansion," Ye Jingcheng ordered.

Although Ye Jingcheng had quite a bit of Nascent Soul Combat Power at his disposal, the Teleportation Array would determine whether the Ye Family could teleport to the Eastern Domain in the future. More importantly, it determined whether the Righteous Sect could enter the Eastern Domain. The Penglai Demon Sect would undoubtedly pay a heavy price to incite the Profound Celestial Demon Sect to attack, and destroying the Teleportation Array would be their primary objective.

"Understood," Ye Jing Hu nodded.

"Also, make some preparations. There might be Golden Core Combat soon. I’ll leave the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects and the Vermilion Bird in your care," Ye Jingcheng added. "Your target is the Liu Family’s Golden Core genius. Try your best not to lose."

Although he wanted a guarantee of victory, Ye Jing Hu was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core. No matter how many Demon Kings he commanded, an opponent might still find an opening—especially since his adversary was the Liu Family’s Golden Core genius, whose strength would be anything but weak. Thus, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t demand perfection from him. Still, the Vermilion Bird, having completed its Advancement, was more than a match for any ordinary Golden Core Peak Cultivator, save for those who specialized in speed.

If Ye Jing Hu truly encountered an insurmountable foe and lost, it would simply mean the Ye Family wasn’t meant to reap the profits of Tianshu Mansion’s Teleportation Array for now. Naturally, the Ye Talisman Sect could still be preserved. However, once they fought for the rights to the Mansion, it was unlikely the Liu Family would treat the Ye Family with such amiability anymore.

"Please rest assured, Eleventh Brother. I absolutely will not disappoint you," Ye Jing Hu said, clasping his hands together and making a solemn promise, his eyes shining with determination. Without the Vermilion Bird, he wouldn’t have had much confidence. But now that Ye Jingcheng was lending it to him, he couldn’t imagine anyone defeating him.

"Eleventh Brother, won’t deploying so many Demon Kings cause dissatisfaction for the Liu Family and the Righteous Sect?"

"It’s normal for the Liu Family to be dissatisfied. As for the Righteous Sect, someone else will get a headache dealing with them; we don’t need to worry about it," Ye Jingcheng replied.

The Mansion Master of Tianshu Mansion wouldn’t choose the Liu Family. This was something Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang needed to negotiate. They had already contributed by making the Ye Family and Liu Family compete fairly; if they smoothed things over, the Ye Family winning by sheer numbers would be seen as acceptable. As for an unfair victory, such a concept didn’t exist in the Ye Family. To a Ye Family Cultivator, their Spirit Beasts were their own flesh and blood.

"Send a Transmission to Yun Xi as well. Tell her to come to Xiaoshan Prefecture for the time being. When the time comes, I’ll train the two of you a bit." As he spoke, he took out a jug of Tier Four Spirit Wine and handed it directly to Ye Jing Hu. This Spirit Wine was none other than the Red Lotus Blood Clear Wine, a gift from Mansion Master Lu.

"If you lose, you’ll owe me this wine."

"Thank you, Eleventh Brother! Naturally," Ye Jing Hu rejoiced. This was a Tier Four High Grade Spirit Wine; even Mansion Master Lu didn’t have much of it. Whether he consumed it himself or used it to entertain friends and elders in the future, it was an excellent choice. Moreover, he had also gained quite a bit from the trade fair hosted by the other Golden Core True Masters.

After Ye Jing Hu left, Ye Jingcheng went to see Ye Xingliu. After informing him of the situation, he went into Seclusion once again. However, this Seclusion wasn’t for his own Cultivation. Instead, he entered Coiling Heaven.

At this moment, within Coiling Heaven, the massive Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit had blended entirely into the same color as the rest of the Grotto Heaven. Over the past six years, this Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit had improved significantly, gaining a great deal of Spiritual Wisdom. It could already affect the surrounding ordinary rocks. In Ye Jingcheng’s eyes, given enough time, they would all be converted into Primordial Magnet Stones.

"Master!" the youth, who was the Mountain Spirit Incarnation of the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit, clasped his hands toward Ye Jingcheng.

"To what extent can you exert your strength now?" This time, Ye Jingcheng was asking the Malachite Stone Spirit.

The Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit’s understanding of its own power was still somewhat vague, whereas the Malachite Stone Spirit possessed much greater Spiritual Wisdom and had the strength of the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

"It should have strength equivalent to the Late Stage of Fourth Tier," the Malachite Stone Spirit replied. "However, its Cultivation seems to be at the Mid-stage Fourth Tier."

The Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit’s true body was considered Tier Five. Therefore, even if its Spirit Body’s Cultivation wasn’t high, as long as its Spiritual Wisdom increased, the speed at which it recovered its Cultivation would naturally be terrifying. Having already swallowed Advancement Pills twice, its Spiritual Wisdom was now no less than that of an ordinary Mortal. Its actual strength was estimated to be no weaker than the Tier Four Peak!

As for Ye Jingcheng, he was more concerned with the execution of the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit’s Primordial Magnetic Divine Light. After inspecting it and seeing the sky filled with circulating Divine Light—while the effect on himself was significantly reduced—he felt incredibly satisfied. This meant that as long as he deployed the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit in advance, his side’s Nascent Soul Combat Power would receive a boost, while the enemy’s Nascent Souls would all be weakened. They wouldn’t even be able to cast Five Elements Techniques. That would grant an overwhelming advantage.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was looking much further ahead. Once they entered the Earth Immortal Realm, if they wanted to ensnare everyone and still allow the Ye Family to silence them, the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit would need to exercise absolute control over the Primordial Magnetic Power. That way, whether the Ye Family chose to set an ambush or trap and kill their foes, the execution would be far more secure.

"Primordial Magnet, reduce your Primordial Magnetic Power by thirty percent," Ye Jingcheng ordered directly after the test. Next up, Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi were going to train their Combat Ability right here.
