Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

As the sky at the horizon began to lighten, a sliver of dawn emerged from the sea's edge, its light shimmering on the waves.

Purplewood Island was evidently more prosperous than it had been many years ago.

As one of the three Violet Prefecture forces within the Heavenly Cloud Archipelago, the Purplewood Sect's strength had grown steadily over the years.

Whether it was the island's area, the number and height of the purplewood trees, or the number of Purplewood Sect cultivators, all had increased significantly in recent years.

Even the spiritual vein was now a third-grade, high-quality spiritual vein.

It constantly emitted spiritual energy, nourishing the entire island.

Ye Jingcheng quietly stood beside the island, observing everything, but the most dazzling sight was undoubtedly the Purplewood Hall atop Purplewood Peak.

The entire hall was constructed with extraordinary grandeur, like a palace facing the sun, overlooking the entire sea area.

However, at this moment, the area outside Purplewood Hall was unusually deserted.

In the past, as dawn approached, many cultivators practicing the Purplewood Sect's core techniques would gather in front of Purplewood Hall to absorb the first ray of purple energy.

But today, not a single one was present. Ye Jingcheng quickly surmised that the family must have already begun their preparations.

The Ye family's style of operation was always characterized by caution.

This time would naturally be no exception.

In fact, he suspected that the Ye family might even abandon the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

After this beast tide, there would certainly be a major counterattack from the demon race. At that time, the Azure Cloud Sea Region would be impossible to defend, and even the Celestial Steed Sea Region might lose more than half of its territory.

The rabble that the Ye family had gathered in the Purplewood Sect would be of no use whatsoever.

It would be better to turn them all into disposable pawns.

This would also be a good opportunity to deal with the hidden spies within their ranks.

Moreover, after the beast tide, major sects would surely investigate the origins of everything. If the Ye family were to leave behind hidden islands or anything of the sort, they might be exposed. It would be better to cut off all ties completely.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng took out his token and quietly entered the island.

As soon as he stepped onto the island, he sensed an atmosphere of grimness and tension.

Almost all the sect's cultivators were gathered at the Purplewood Island's martial arts field.

The martial arts field was one of the largest structures on Purplewood Island, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, six or seven thousand cultivators were gathered there.

Ye Jingcheng did not go over. Even the identity he had once assumed was no longer necessary to maintain.

Therefore, he headed directly towards the underground plaza of Purplewood Island.

In the plaza, Ye Jingcheng saw Ye Xuefan and other family elders, as well as many family members whose names he had only seen in jade scrolls.

These family members were also looking at Ye Jingcheng, their eyes filled with nervousness, awe, and curiosity.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng even had the illusion that he was a cultivator from Hidden Peak and Hidden Island, and that they were the Ye family's publicly known members from Soaring Cloud Peak.

Besides the Ye family's elders, there were also many Qi Refining cultivators present. These Qi Refining cultivators were mostly young, the descendants of Hidden Peak elders and spiritual root cultivators who had emerged from the mortals relocated by the Ye family.

Ye Jingcheng took a quick glance and discovered that this hidden underground plaza held over a hundred people.

Moreover, Hidden Island cultivators were constantly returning from outside. Adding those hidden within the Purplewood Sect, Ye Jingcheng roughly estimated that the family's bloodline members from Hidden Peak should number no less than two hundred.

On Soaring Cloud Peak, the Ye family had over three hundred bloodline members. In other words, the Ye family's current number of true immortal cultivators should already be no fewer than five hundred, which could be considered a large clan.

Furthermore, Hidden Island now had over forty Foundation Establishment cultivators. Including those on Soaring Cloud Peak, the Ye family's Foundation Establishment cultivators exceeded fifty.

The only thing the Ye family lacked now was a truly stable family mountain, allowing all Ye family members to appear openly!

And letting every family member know the true strength of the Ye family today!

"Jingcheng is here?" Ye Xuefan knew that Ye Jingcheng's Jade Kirin Flood Dragon had obtained a Heavenly Dragon Fruit.

This Heavenly Dragon Fruit would provide a significant boost to dragon-like creatures, so he naturally understood that Ye Jingcheng's so-called small breakthrough was no small matter. It was clearly a breakthrough to the fourth-order demon king realm.

However, as an elder, he couldn't inquire too closely. Moreover, Ye Jingcheng's increased strength was a good thing.

Combined with Ye Jingcheng's two-headed tortoise demon king, the Ye family's plans would only proceed more smoothly.

"Fourth Grand Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng also greeted him.

Ye Xuefan then introduced him to the other family members:

"This is our Ye family's patriarch!"

For most of the Ye family's Hidden Island cultivators, their seniority was higher than Ye Jingcheng's, but because of their cultivation level, they couldn't directly call him by name. Calling him "Real Person" would be too distant, so they were somewhat hesitant.

But upon hearing Ye Xuefan's words, they all began to call out to him one by one.

Although Ye Jingcheng was only the patriarch of Soaring Cloud Peak, now that Ye Jingcheng was a hundred-year-old Golden Core cultivator, he was more than qualified to be the patriarch of the entire Ye family, and they naturally wouldn't object.

"Greetings, uncles, grand-uncles, and grand-grand-uncles."

Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands in response to each of them.

Among the Hidden Island cultivators here, only some of the Qi Refining cultivators might have a similar seniority to his.

These Qi Refining cultivators were all spiritual root family members born from the mortals previously relocated by the Ye family.

But even to the Qi Refining cultivators and the younger family members, Ye Jingcheng responded to each of them.

Soon, however, Ye Xuefan quickly transmitted a message.

"Jingcheng, come to the stone room to discuss the specific arrangements for what comes next!"

Ye Jingcheng nodded. Clearly, Ye Haifei, Ye Xuefu, and a few other family elders had also received the same transmission.

Soon, Ye Jingcheng entered the room.

The room was evidently a former alchemy room, with a ground fire array beside it. At this moment, as sandalwood smoke faintly burned within the room, it quickly filled the entire space.

Giving off a faint, elegant fragrance.

Inside the room, Ye Shengyi was already present, along with Ye Haihe, Ye Haisheng, and Ye Haicheng.

This brought together all of the Ye family's Golden Core and Violet Prefecture cultivators, except for Ye Xuecang and Ye Jingyu.

"Show your beast control marks, the matter at hand is quite crucial," Ye Xuefan continued.

Ye Shengyi also took the lead, and this was the first time Ye Jingcheng had seen Ye Shengyi's Beast Veins. There was a five-inch one and a three-inch one. In the Ye family, this was definitely top-tier talent.

The remaining people's Beast Veins were all above five inches. Even Ye Haihe had two five-inch Beast Veins and a three-inch one, which was similar to Ye Jinghu's.

Even Ye Haisheng's Beast Veins were two five-inch ones.

Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, then revealed his seven-inch Beast Veins.

However, the other members of the Ye family were not surprised at all.

After all, Ye Jingcheng had contracted with so many spirit beasts. They wouldn't have believed it if he didn't have seven-inch Beast Veins.

They just didn't know why Ye Jingcheng hadn't shown them before.

"Alright, what happens next concerns the Ye family's fate for the next few hundred years. If we succeed, the Ye family will be a Nascent Soul family in the future. If we fail, our Ye family must find a way to continue!"

"Our Ye family has a long history. Everyone here is a core member of this important task. All of us have a heavy responsibility!"

Ye Xuefan said, also looking around at everyone, and finally focusing on Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng also felt the responsibility on his shoulders become heavier.

He knew that no matter how the deployment was done for this beast tide, there would be dangers and accidents, because their Ye family had no Nascent Soul combat power.

There might even be a large number of clansmen who would die because of this!

"First of all, regarding the deployment of this plan, it is divided into three teams. Jingyu and Haifei, you two lead one team to attract the beast tide on the surface. One person is responsible for continuing to kill demon beasts near Cangyin Island, and the other is responsible for going to Yushan Island to plant Tier 4 Demon Attraction Grass, lighting a fire for the Qinghe Sect!" Ye Xuefan said.

He also looked at Ye Haifei.

Ye Jingyu hadn't arrived yet; he was responsible for mobilizing the Purplewood Sect's cultivators.

So this matter was all handled by Ye Haifei.

"Be careful when acting. The Qinghe Sect is refining the Xuanhe Boundless Sword Formation, so there must be Golden Core cultivators there, and there may be more than one!" Ye Xuefan said.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng suddenly understood that his Golden Falcon had discovered this Yushan Island.

Moreover, he was the one who reminded the Ye family elders. Obviously, the Ye family had been investigating for more than a month.

He just didn't expect that the other party was also collecting beast souls to refine the Xuanhe Boundless Sword Formation.

No wonder they hadn't attacked the Ye family in recent years.

But it can also be seen from this that even in the sea area, collecting beast souls is not so easy.

First, they were worried that the movement would be too big, and second, they couldn't continue hunting all the time, which could easily arouse the vigilance of the demon kings and demon emperors, and let other forces know, and there might even be interceptions.

It could be said that the Ye family was helping the other party this time.

Without the Demon Attraction Grass, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't have collected beast souls so quickly.

"Fourth Uncle, please rest assured, Haifei will definitely complete the task, and will meet up with Jingyu to complete the demon hunting mission!"

"Your mission is to kill at least ten Tier 3 great demons, at least five thousand Tier 1 and Tier 2 demon beasts, and the Golden Light Rhinoceros will participate in your actions!" Ye Xuefan said.

Ye Haifei nodded again, his eyes also extremely firm.

"Haihe and Xuefu, the roles you two play in the Yun family are Yun Baili and Yun Qiansheng. You two will follow Second Brother to the Yin Shark Abyss!"

"You have no mission, but you must... be careful, you must... come back safely!" Ye Xuefan said, and immediately added.

While saying this, Ye Xuefan also took out a storage bag.

"Inside are some flying puppets and Five Elements Heavenly Armor puppets, as well as several sets of formations. At the critical moment, don't be stingy!" Ye Xuefan said a lot.

Going to the Yin Shark Abyss was naturally more dangerous.

"Don't worry, no problem!" Ye Haihe still looked very casual and relaxed, but Ye Xuefu nodded quite heavily.

Their group was responsible for attracting the attention of the demon emperor, and also responsible for attracting the attention of the human race forces.

This would inevitably involve Nascent Soul combat power, and even with Ye Xuecang, problems could still arise.

The only advantage was that Ye Xuecang had spiritual treasures and ancient treasures on him.

But the danger was even greater than Ye Haifei and Ye Jingyu's first team.

"Jingcheng, Haicheng, Haisheng, as well as me and Third Uncle, our mission is to kill at least seven demon kings, forty Tier 3 great demons, and more than 100,000 Tier 1 and Tier 2 demon beasts, and we need to activate three Tier 4 Demon Attraction Grass!"

"Our time is only five days. We must complete it within five days. If we can't complete it, we must retreat!"

"The selected location will be Sanyuan Island in the depths of the outer sea!" As Ye Xuefan spoke.

Ye Jingcheng only felt the pressure suddenly increase greatly. Even counting him, the Earth Dragon Demon King, Ye Shengyi, and the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon Twin-Headed Turtle, they only had five Golden Core combat powers.

Among them, only the Earth Dragon Demon King was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and the others were at the early stage of the Golden Core stage. The most powerful was probably his Jade Kirin Flood Dragon.

To kill seven demon kings, the pressure was imaginable.

Back then, killing the Overturning Sea Turtle required the joint efforts of the Earth Dragon Demon King and Ye Xuecang to successfully kill it, and that Overturning Sea Demon King was only at the early stage of the Golden Core stage.

The demon kings that appear this time may not all be at the early stage of the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, the activation of three Tier 4 Demon Attraction Grass might even attract a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.

Although Ye Xuecang and the others in the Yin Shark Abyss would make a bigger commotion and attract the attention of the demon emperor, there were still many dangers.

Sanyuan Island was not located in the outer sea of the Tianyun Islands, but in the outer sea corresponding to the Luoyun Islands and the Chiyun Islands.

The beast tide there had always been the largest over the years.

The gathered Tier 3 great demons and Tier 1 and Tier 2 demon beasts must also be massive.
