Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Taihang Mountains, Earth Dragon Valley.

Without the constraints of the Demon King, the Greater Demons and Tier 1 and Tier 2 Demon Beasts were noticeably restless.

Throughout the vast Earth Dragon Valley, fierce battles would occasionally erupt.

Of course, these battles were less frequent closer to the Earth Dragon Hall.

At this moment, a cultivator was guarding a valley entrance, his eyes gleaming with spiritual light, a sign of a mystical pupil technique.

This allowed him to observe the distant scenery at any time while also being able to destroy the teleportation array at a moment's notice.

In addition to his illusion techniques, he had also placed several Shadow Wood Puppets.

These Shadow Wood Puppets were constructed from Shadow Wood seeds recently collected by the Ye family.

Because the seeds were extremely rare, these Shadow Wood Puppets were also very precious, only deployed in critical locations around Earth Dragon Valley.

This was to ensure they could preempt any potential crises at the first moment.

During this time, Ye Jinghong was particularly cautious.

Originally, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator was supposed to guard the teleportation array, but unfortunately, the Ye family's Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators were either in breakthrough or occupied with important matters in the Sand Sea.

Therefore, Ye Jinghong, with his Cloud Finch Spiritual Eyes, was dispatched here.

Of course, Ye Jinghong wasn't alone; in the cave behind him was the Array Master Ye XingShui.

Because Ye XingShui had formed a contract with the Golden Light Rhinoceros, his cultivation progress wasn't slow, and he was now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Coupled with his proficiency in arrays, he was no weaker than a typical Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator in this hidden valley.

Seeing the teleportation array light up, both Ye XingShui and Ye Jinghong became extremely cautious.

In their memory, the Ye family had already sent a batch of magical artifacts and spiritual materials recently.

The teleportation array shouldn't be lighting up so soon.

But after seeing that it was Ye Jingcheng, they were both extremely surprised.

After all, Ye Jingcheng had just recently fathered two children.

"Uncle XingShui, Jinghong, it's me!" Ye Jingcheng quickly said.

He was also extremely familiar with Ye XingShui; after Jingyu left, Ye XingShui was the best at arrays in the Ye family's Soaring Cloud Peak.

And Ye XingShui's Golden Light Rhinoceros had also advanced twice.

Seeing that the two were still somewhat vigilant, Ye Jingcheng raised his sleeve, revealing the Spirit Communication Mark.

Ye Jinghong and Ye XingShui immediately followed suit, revealing their own Spirit Communication Marks.

With the Spirit Communication Mark, it naturally couldn't be faked, and Ye Jinghong and the other relaxed.

"Jingcheng, Feng'er and Nian'er are still young; for you to come out at this moment, does the family have important matters?" Ye XingShui asked.

"Indeed, there are important matters. Uncle XingShui, please use the Spirit Severing Sword to detach the teleportation array first!" Ye Jingcheng directly said.

The sooner the teleportation array was detached, the safer it would be.

After all, at this time, any delay could mean more risks.

Hearing this, Ye XingShui repeatedly nodded.

Ye Jingcheng then released the Three-Eyed Demon King, the Thunder Roc Demon King, and the Mammoth Demon King.

"The three of you Demon Kings, return to your respective territories and maintain the status quo!" Ye Jingcheng didn't keep the three Demon Kings.

With his current strength, coupled with Jade Kirin Flood Dragon and Scarlet Flame Fox, ordinary Realized Immortals or Demon Kings couldn't do anything to him.

And if he were to face Demon Emperors or True Monarchs, keeping these Demon Kings would be useless.

It would be better to have them honestly reorganize their territories.

"Also, the three of you, remember to be ready to initiate a beast tide at any time!" In the end, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but add.

The Three-Eyed Demon King gave Ye Jingcheng a strange look, seemingly recalling the previous beast tide and the Cloud Lion Demon King, but ultimately nodded.

With the Three-Eyed Demon King nodding, the other two Demon Kings naturally nodded and left.

While the three Demon Kings were leaving, Ye XingShui had already used the Spirit Severing Sword Technique to cut through the teleportation array, which was then taken into Ye Jingcheng's Cave Heaven.

"Uncle XingShui, Jinghong, you should also enter my Cave Heaven for safety!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Naturally, they couldn't stay in Earth Dragon Valley.

And Ye Jingcheng's target was precisely the former territory of the Silver Moon Demon King, Silver Moon Lake.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't go to the core area of Silver Moon Lake, but rather to the outskirts, to a lake called Crescent Lake.

Crescent Lake was named Crescent Lake because the spiritual lake was curved like a crescent moon.

There was also a small island in the lake, perfect for hiding. The only drawback was that Crescent Lake was somewhat deep in the Taihang Mountains, even close to the Azure Lizard Stream, which was the territory of a new Demon King.

But for Ye Jingcheng, this flaw actually meant that Crescent Lake was safer.

After making his plans, Ye Jingcheng took out the spiritual map he brought from the Ye family, found a direction, and quickly left.

......

The moonlight gently sprinkled down, casting large patches of shimmering waves on the lake's surface.

Some fish floated on the surface of the lake, swimming very happily.

But soon after, a huge Blood Moon Python swallowed them in one gulp, countless fish mixed with lake water entering the Blood Moon Python's mouth.

However, at this moment, the Blood Moon Python suddenly felt something like a spiritual shadow quietly flash past.

It blankly surfaced, but saw nothing.

The island in the center of the lake was still covered with long shrubs and dense jungle, while the sky held a bright moon and occasional floating clouds.

The Blood Moon Python couldn't help but lower its head, trying to better circulate the food in its belly, then submerged into the lake again.

And at this moment, on the island in the center of the lake, a cultivator had already appeared among the shrubs.

He wore a Shadowless Daoist Robe and performed a hand seal to conceal his aura.

This person was none other than Ye Jingcheng, who had come from Earth Dragon Valley.

To remain hidden, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't move most of the things in Crescent Lake.

And his plan was to blood contract the Silver Moon Python Greater Demon in this lake.

According to his senses, this Silver Moon Python was even weaker than the one in Moon Gazing Lake back then, only at Tier 3 Initial Stage.

Barely broken through.

"It seems this Silver Moon Demon King was very wary of the Earth Dragon Demon King!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but chuckle.

Tier 3 Initial Stage was even less of a threat to him.

This Silver Moon Python wasn't at the bottom of the lake, but rather on the island in the center of the lake.

In the center of the island, there was a huge snake cave.

Ye Jingcheng suppressed his aura and quickly entered the snake cave. To his surprise, the cave walls were inlaid with Yun Yue Stone ore. This ore was a high-grade second-tier spiritual material, commonly used to refine water and wood attribute robes, and could also be used to refine water attribute spiritual bead magic tools.

It was extremely precious.

Ye Jingcheng didn't expect such a pleasant surprise from randomly choosing a spirit lake.

Suppressing his joy, Ye Jingcheng continued forward, soon arriving at a huge plaza.

Beneath the plaza was a pool connected to the spirit lake. A Silver Moon Python was half in the water and half on the shore, slowly closing its eyes, seemingly circulating its breathing technique.

In front of it, to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, was a third-tier Purple Jade Vine.

The Purple Jade Vine's tendrils were still cyan-purple, not yet fully purple.

This meant that the Purple Jade Vine's fruiting day was still far off.

A smile couldn't help but appear on Ye Jingcheng's lips. He didn't expect such an unexpected harvest. The Ye family had many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there would surely be many breakthroughs to the Violet Palace realm in the future, so the demand for Violet Palace Jade Liquid would definitely be high.

The more Purple Jade Vines, the better.

"Go!" After observing and confirming that nothing was missed, Ye Jingcheng directly sacrificed the Void Mystic Robe.

It enveloped the Silver Moon Python.

The moment the Void Mystic Bottle appeared, the Silver Moon Python reacted.

However, even if it reacted, its fate was only to be taken into the bottle by the Void Mystic Bottle.

If it weren't for hiding in Crescent Lake, the Silver Moon Python wouldn't have lasted even half a breath against Ye Jingcheng's Golden Glass Sword.

After taking the Silver Moon Python into the Void Mystic Bottle, Ye Jingcheng began a blood contract to tame it.

However, this Silver Moon Python was surprisingly proud, refusing to accept a blood contract even on the verge of death.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't indulge it, forcibly dripping blood essence and continuing the blood contract.

A full half-day passed before the blood contract finally succeeded, but the Silver Moon Python was already half-dead.

"Still full of spirit!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but have a headache.

Even after the soul contract was established, the Silver Moon Python demon still sought death.

In the end, Ye Jingcheng didn't indulge it and simply killed the Silver Moon Python.

After killing the Silver Moon Python, to keep the cave undisturbed, Ye Jingcheng also released the Jade Kirin Dragon.

Its massive body felt somewhat cramped in the hall.

Ye Jingcheng directly placed it in the lake.

"Remember not to release all your aura!" Ye Jingcheng repeatedly instructed.

If the Jade Kirin Dragon released all its aura, although it could better deter, it would also easily attract the Silver Moon Demon King and the Green Lizard Demon King.

The Jade Kirin Dragon nodded, but after nodding, its huge dragon eyes also asked Ye Jingcheng if the fish here were edible.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng nod, it asked again if the pythons here were edible.

Ye Jingcheng was momentarily unsure how to answer.

"Don't eat too much, it's easy to be discovered!" Ye Jingcheng instructed again.

The Jade Kirin Dragon nodded happily and quickly dived into the lake.

After placing the Jade Kirin Dragon, Ye Jingcheng began to set up the formation Ye Xuefan had given him.

Setting up a formation with a formation plate was not difficult, only requiring the placement of formation flags and formation bases according to specific positions.

Soon, the formation was completely set up, and the activated spiritual cover enveloped more than half of Crescent Island.

Ye Jingcheng also let out a long sigh of relief, then released Ye Jinghong and Ye Xingshui, and also took out the teleportation array.

"Uncle Xingshui, Jinghong, I'll trouble you!" Ye Jingcheng said.

To be safe and leave himself a way out, Ye Jingcheng decided to set up the teleportation array.

If those Nascent Soul cultivators recklessly rushed into the Taihang Mountains to find him.

He would also have a way to escape.

After all, when the Flying Puppet Technique failed and the divine soul scattered, some Nascent Souls could take the opportunity to judge the location of Ye Jingcheng's main body!

"Okay!" Ye Jinghong and Ye Xingshui also nodded.

While they were repairing the teleportation array, Ye Jingcheng placed a jade slip on his brow.

It was the jade slip for the Flying Puppet Technique.

This Flying Puppet Technique was also divided into two steps: first, dividing the soul, and second, attaching the puppet.

Dividing the soul had requirements for the cultivator's divine soul, and attaching the puppet also had requirements for the puppet's spiritual materials.

Ye Jingcheng looked around and found that of the four Golden Core spiritual puppets he had, only the humanoid fourth-tier puppets he obtained from Zhang Yuling and Zhang Yuxue were suitable for attaching the puppet.

After checking, he began to cultivate quietly.

A full three days later, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes.

He had completely deduced this Flying Puppet Technique.

After confirming that there were no problems, he opened a stone room next to him and began to divide his soul.

In the hall, the teleportation array was already set up, and Ye Xingshui was testing it.

It emitted a good spiritual light, but the concealment array worked extremely well and did not reveal any spiritual light.

Ye Jingcheng was completely relieved.

He sat opposite the puppet, and as the spiritual incantation was chanted, soon a small half of his divine soul separated and flew towards the puppet.

Before long, the fourth-tier spiritual puppet's eyes seemed to have a spiritual light, and it stood up like Ye Jingcheng.

For a moment, Ye Jingcheng felt as if he had two bodies, which was extremely magical.

He left his main body in the cave to cultivate quietly.

The Flying Puppet's incarnation then began to change rapidly, and soon it had turned into Ye Jingcheng's appearance.

Most of these attachable Flying Puppets could change their appearance. Although they couldn't withstand divine sense probing, it was already enough for Ye Jingcheng to handle some things.

He put on the Shadowless Daoist Robe and then the Spiritual Isolation Robe.

Walking out of the room, Ye Xingshui and Ye Jinghong were still talking to him, but they didn't realize that it was just a spiritual puppet in front of them.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally extremely satisfied.

"Uncle Xingshui, I'm going to Lingyun Peak!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng also discovered that the words spoken by this puppet were extremely awkward and not smooth.

Clearly, the Flying Puppet Technique had many limitations.
