Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Above the wilderness, the green spiritual light in the sky had completely disappeared, leaving only a scorching sun hanging high, dispelling the mist.

A massive city slowly rose above the wilderness.

The entire city had six grand archways, each with a huge pillar of formation behind it.

These pillars emitted a massive spiritual light, merging into the spiritual shield in the sky.

Beside the city, many cultivators were counting their spoils of war, while others were despondent, contemplating the future.

The battle results were out: eight Nascent Soul cultivators from the six major forces had perished, and two others had their physical bodies destroyed. Over twenty Golden Core cultivators had fallen, and even more Purple Mansion cultivators.

Even the Ye family hadn't survived unscathed; the death of a Purple Mansion cultivator from the 'Qing' generation was extremely painful news for them.

Fortunately, the gains this time were enormous, which diluted the sorrow.

Moreover, as the Ye family had expected, this Heavenly Insect Realm was particularly suited to them. With a Transformation God Sovereign watching over them, they didn't need to worry about demon saints. The Ye family could hunt demon beasts and insects to the fullest extent. They had even secretly collected many beast souls.

If it weren't for having a True Origin Sovereign as their master, the Ye family wouldn't dare to blatantly collect beast souls. But now, they had no such concerns. The Ye family was, after all, a beast-controlling family, so collecting beast souls and spirit beast materials was perfectly normal.

"Junior Brother Ye, there seems to be a hidden Mantis Saint among these Void-Rending Sky Mantises!" Just then, Star Origin True Lord walked over, transmitting his voice to Ye Jingcheng as he approached.

It was somewhat of an explanation.

After all, before entering the realm gate, the six Transformation God forces had explained the dangers, but it shouldn't have been this dangerous.

So many Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen right from the start. They had to know that everyone was still gathered together. When they dispersed to explore, it would be even more dangerous.

"Senior Brother Star Origin, does this mean we can't kill these demon mantises?" Ye Jingcheng frowned.

A hidden demon emperor was already so powerful. If there was a hidden demon saint, he wouldn't be able to survive at all.

He didn't even have much confidence against a fifth-order peak Void-Rending Sky Mantis.

"There's no need to worry about that. Demon saints and Transformation Gods aren't allowed to act casually," Star Origin True Lord waved his hand.

"Don't think that only we are fighting here. In fact, demon saints and Transformation Gods have been fighting all along, but they control the fluctuations of their battles so well that we can't detect them."

"Senior Brother Star Origin, do you know the approximate number of this Sky Mantis clan?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"About a hundred or so. There shouldn't be more than ten fifth-order ones!" Star Origin True Lord replied.

"Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother Star Origin," Ye Jingcheng nodded, but he was still skeptical about killing Void-Rending Sky Mantises.

If a demon saint emerged from just a hundred or so, they probably valued their clansmen greatly.

It was even possible that no Sky Mantises had died in the previous melee because of this.

Otherwise, with so many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Transformation God forces, how could no one be interested in these Void-Rending Sky Mantises?

He naturally coveted these Sky Mantises. His original plan was to wait until they were separated and there wasn't so much attention on them, then use the Holy Spirit Pagoda and formations to try to capture one or two Void-Rending Sky Mantises.

At the very least, he would kill one or two.

But now that there was a demon saint, his thoughts had faded a lot.

Of course, if there was a chance to poach offspring or borrow seeds, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't let it go.

"I suggest not being the first to capture them, even if you want to!" Star Origin True Lord added finally.

After saying this, Star Origin True Lord didn't continue to talk about the Void-Rending Sky Mantises. Instead, he focused on the goals of the Righteous Path Sect:

"The area of the Profound Origin Holy Bull Demon Saint is to the north, called Holy Bull Continent in the Heavenly Insect Realm. It's vast, and its main clans are the Heavenly Horn Profound Bulls and the Azure Origin Golden Horn Rhinoceroses. Both have many demon emperors. For your Ye family, they should be decent clans, but the strength of these two demon beasts shouldn't be underestimated..."

In the following time, Star Origin True Lord introduced the situation and then left.

Of course, before leaving, he also hinted from time to time that Ye Jingcheng didn't need to be so restrained here. The possibility of Transformation Gods taking action was still very low. Obtaining more resources and increasing his cultivation was the most important thing.

Ye Jingcheng naturally understood what was going on. After all, he had previously killed late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but after this breakthrough, he had only assisted in killing two demon emperors and breaking a few insect formations, undoubtedly holding back.

Ye Jingcheng didn't think that the Righteous Path Sect would say anything, but perhaps other immortal sects or the White Jade faction felt that he, a Sovereign's disciple, was somewhat unworthy of the name.

Ye Jingcheng didn't bother with these things. Whether he was qualified as a Sovereign's disciple wasn't for these outer sect people to judge.

But next, if possible, he would still contribute more merits. After all, this time the Righteous Path Sect was divided into the White Jade and Crimson factions. If his performance was too poor, True Origin Sovereign would lose some face.

After thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng went to the side. He set up a formation and then entered the cave heaven.

Having a cave heaven wasn't particularly rare at the Nascent Soul realm, so he only set up a simple formation.

After entering the cave heaven, Ye Jingcheng went straight to the newly arranged insect room.

This insect room was extremely large, built with special cold jade. Ordinary black iron, let alone fourth-order, even fifth-order insect rooms, could likely be devoured by the Vajra Flying Ants. Only cold jade was the most effective against these Vajra Flying Ants.

The reason why Vajra Flying Ants were well-known in the Heavenly Insect Realm was that many flying swords entering the Vajra Ant swarm were easily bitten and devoured, resulting in a great loss of their treasure light, or even damage to the magical treasure.

At this moment, it could be seen that these flying ants, under the bewitchment of the third-order flying ant with natural talent, were constantly crashing around, biting.

But as soon as they touched the cold jade, a layer of frost formed on their surfaces, causing them to fall.

However, after a while, when the cold air dissipated, they would fly up again.

The most powerful one here was a fourth-order Vajra Flying Ant, the size of an ordinary water buffalo, with compound eyes, two long antennae, four wings, and a golden glow all over its body, with great pomp.

Especially its huge mandibles, which were particularly ferocious, could easily bite through fourth-order black iron.

The third-order Vajra Ant with seven layers of treasure light seemed to be not that big, only the size of an ordinary wolf demon, but its pair of compound eyes was incomparably turbid, as if it had been superimposed several times. On its forehead, in addition to the antennae, there was also a small bulge, surrounded by countless patterns.

"Your intelligence should not be weak. Submit or die, choose one!" Ye Jingcheng said directly.

He didn't look at the fourth-order Vajra Flying Ant, he felt that the other party seemed to be obeying this third-order Vajra Flying Ant.

Therefore, he only needed to ask this third-order one.

This feeling was naturally strange, after all, most ant tribes obeyed the ant queen and respected the strong.

But the scene in front of him was like this.

The Vajra Flying Ant didn't answer Ye Jingcheng, and the surrounding flying ants gathered again, forming a small giant, making a defensive posture.

It feared Ye Jingcheng, but obviously didn't want to submit.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally happy about this. Most spirit insects had extremely low intelligence, much worse than normal beasts, and their lifespan was also much shorter.

But this Vajra Flying Ant had great potential for advancement and could be the leader of the Flying Ant battle formation in the future.

Even because of its intelligence, as long as it was tamed, the Ye family wouldn't need to arrange cultivators to control it. It would be a king with extremely strong judgment.

Of course, the Ye family still needed to find an ant queen to breed offspring.

The number of Vajra Ants in front of him was definitely not enough, and the lifespan of spirit insects was much shorter than that of demon beasts. Only with a stable ant queen could the Ye family's Vajra Ants be endless.

"Go!" Seeing that the Vajra Flying Ant still didn't express anything, Ye Jingcheng directly condensed a Thousand Leaf Soul Needle and stabbed it towards the Vajra Ant.

The smarter they were, the more they worried about their divine soul and wisdom.

As soon as the Thousand Moon Soul Needle pierced through, accompanied by a scream, the latter also repeatedly transmitted the divine soul fluctuations of submission.

Ye Jingcheng also ejected a new soul needle and condensed a drop of essence blood to fly out!
