Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Even at midnight, Crimson Haze Ridge wasn't cool.

The mountain wind blew, but carried a hint of warmth, causing inexplicable unease.

Ye Jinghu carefully traversed the mountain, his earlier excitement now completely subsided.

Instead, a sense of disbelief arose.

Although he believed his plan was sound, it involved a teleportation array potentially sabotaged by a Demon Saint.

He glanced again at the spirit compass, which tracked movements around the Shadow Wood Puppet.

The compass remained consistently tranquil. Occasionally, birds landed on the massive, desolate tree, but nothing seemed amiss; no sign of beasts, no one tracking them.

Even the simple sensing array he'd set up at Half-Moon Lake hadn't been triggered or broken.

The unexpected smoothness of it all made him somewhat apprehensive.

After careful consideration, he retrieved the family token Ye Xuefan used to send messages and reviewed the family's mission again.

The family's task was to check if the Space Jade was still present, and if so, copy the spatial node information within.

He had now exceeded the mission requirements.

He had obtained the entire teleportation array, though it was heavily damaged, even a Tier 3 Array Master could repair it.

After all, the most crucial part of a teleportation array was the Space Jade.

Once the teleportation array was repaired, the Ye family's connection between the Sand Sea and the Yan Kingdom's cultivation world would be restored, paving the way for the Ye family's future development.

Ye Jinghu couldn't help but recall his previous mistakes, and the unease in his heart resurfaced, like a persistent demon.

It lingered in his ears.

He took a couple of deep breaths, repeatedly reviewing everything from today and the past half-month.

Finally, he retrieved the family token and sent all the details to Ye Xuefan and Ye Jingcheng.

He knew he had been careful enough, but he worried there were still oversights.

Crimson Haze Ridge was eerily quiet that day.

He temporarily changed his mind and headed towards a more remote part of Crimson Haze Ridge.

There lay a Tier 3 Bloodflame Crystal vein.

“Explosive Array!”

“Destroy the Space Jade!”

Before long, the family token lit up with messages from Ye Xuefan and Ye Jingcheng.

Seeing this, Ye Jinghu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was still uncertain,

someone had made the decision for him!

There wouldn't be any mistakes.

In his hand appeared a Tier 3 spirit jade.

The creation of Space Jade was extremely complex, requiring the inclusion of a Tier 5 array that only Nascent Soul cultivators could master, as well as complex spatial nodes.

However, the spatial nodes within the Space Jade were information that could be recorded using spirit jade.

With these spatial nodes, any Nascent Soul cultivator could refine a Space Jade that resonated with the Ye family's Sand Sea teleportation array.

However, before this, the Ye family had to find a Nascent Soul cultivator to help refine the Space Jade in order to set up a brand-new teleportation array.

Of course, this would inevitably leak information about the Sand Sea teleportation array.

But for the Ye family, there were still two other teleportation arrays that could be set up in the Sand Sea and the Taihang Mountains.

On the other hand, the first teleportation must not have any problems.

Ye Jinghu soon arrived before a crimson mountain, the entire peak covered in scarlet fire maple trees.

It wasn't yet the season for fiery maple leaves, but the fire maples here were already tinged with vibrant red.

Hanging on the branches, illuminated by the sparse starlight, they resembled flickering flames on the treetops.

Ye Jinghu dove down and used Earth Tunneling to enter the mountain.

He passed through the Bloodflame Crystal cluster and arrived underground.

Under Crimson Haze Ridge, there were clearly fire veins everywhere, and he could feel the heat from the depths.

No wonder Bloodflame Crystals were born here.

Ye Jinghu tested his spiritual sense, and when passing through the Bloodflame Crystal vein, he could only penetrate about a foot.

After that, he was very satisfied. Even if the Demon Emperor or Demon Saint had exceptionally strong spiritual sense, they shouldn't be able to see far under this Bloodflame Crystal mine!

After considering this, he released the teleportation array. He first set up a concealment array in a showy manner, as if he was really concealing the teleportation array.

After the concealment array was set up, he set up a self-destruct array.

The array plate for this array was a Tier 2 high-grade array plate, more than enough to destroy a teleportation array.

Even, after thinking for a few breaths, he took out two Crimson Sky Talismans and a Four-Colored Bonefire Pearl.

Only then was he truly sure that nothing could go wrong!

After the array was set up, Ye Jinghu took out the spirit jade and began copying the spatial node information from the Space Jade.

After the node information was copied, Ye Jinghu took out another piece of Tier 3 spirit jade, wanting to try copying the Space Jade's array.

But before long, the spirit jade shattered, turning into countless glittering jade fragments.

Ye Jinghu wasn't annoyed; it was normal that it couldn't be copied. It would be a problem if it could be copied!

After failing, he tried twice more, and found that even parts of the array couldn't be copied, so he gave up directly.

When he was about to leave, he also removed the Space Jade. Before destroying the teleportation array, he suddenly had a thought.

Perhaps the Demon Saint or Demon Emperor didn't care about the teleportation array?

This was also very possible.

After all, if there was no Demon Saint or Demon Emperor supervising behind the scenes, then the Ye family would have lost a teleportation array for nothing.

The other parts of the teleportation array were fine; the Ye family could refine them, but if the Space Jade was lost for nothing, the Ye family would definitely pay a great price in the future!

Ye Jinghu made up his mind. He followed the Bloodflame Crystal vein and tunneled very far again, even changing to another mine mountain and landing in a new Bloodflame Crystal area.

He set up concealment arrays and self-destruct arrays around the Space Jade in the same way, and also placed the Four-Colored Bonefire Pearl and Crimson Sky Talismans.

After handling everything, he returned to the previous mountain and planted a Shadow Wood Puppet.

After doing all this, he released two North Star Ladybugs.

These North Star Ladybugs had an extremely strong ability to sense spiritual power. Although they were often useless, their powerful sensing ability happened to be useful at this moment.

After doing these things, Ye Jinghu didn't detonate it directly.

If he guessed correctly, the Demon Emperor or Demon Saint behind the scenes, if they deliberately left the teleportation array behind, would definitely wait until the teleportation array was restored before appearing.

That way, they could wipe out the Ye family in one fell swoop.

But if he detonated it, the other party would definitely appear at the first moment.

So Ye Jinghu tunneled underground for a full half-day, and only after sensing a huge river did he plan to detonate it.

That was one of the sources of the Azure River, the Jade River, which could also directly flow into Taihang Prefecture, then transfer into Taiqing Prefecture, and enter the Azure River.

Ye Jinghu directly took out a Water Evasion Talisman and floated downstream along the river.

At the same time, the array plate in his hand was activated instantly.

Ye Jinghu began to stare intently at the Shadow Wood Puppet.

On the spirit compass, under Fire Maple Mountain, there was a muffled rumble, and flames could be seen soaring into the sky.

But it didn't explode.

After all, there was a Bloodflame Crystal mine below, and the teleportation array bore the brunt, consuming too much violent spiritual power, so it naturally couldn't destroy the Bloodflame Crystal.

With the rumble, many Three-Eyed Demon Peng flew over.

These were all Three-Eyed Demon Peng left behind to guard Crimson Haze Ridge. There weren't too many, and there were even many fledglings.

At this moment, they were chirping and wandering in the air, obviously not understanding why there was a rumble.

Even the surrounding remaining demon beasts suffered.

The North Star Ladybugs began to shake, as if extremely afraid that the Three-Eyed Demon Peng would swallow them.

However, these Three-Eyed Demon Peng were obviously worried that someone would secretly enter Crimson Haze Mountain in Crimson Haze Ridge, and flew back.

After all, that was the core nest of the Three-Eyed Demon King, and nothing could go wrong.

The sky began to quiet down, the starlight remained, the fire maples burned, peaceful and beautiful!

Seeing this, Ye Jinghu instead felt a different kind of comfort in his heart.

At this moment, he naturally felt that Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuefan were a little too cautious.

He put down the remaining array plate and didn't plan to activate it again.

But the next moment, he saw the North Star Ladybugs explode directly.

In the void, a figure in azure clothing landed.

The figure was wearing an azure fox fur coat, seemingly like the female cultivators of Taiyi Illusion Peak, extremely fond of fox fur coats to adorn themselves, but if one looked at their face, they would find that this was clearly an old woman.

This made Ye Jinghu couldn't help but panic, and he repeatedly activated the remaining arrays. At this moment, his back was a little cold.

That was at least a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor!

Ye Jinghu didn't know about the Azure Hill Fox Clan, let alone the Fox Saint, but for him, the Demon Emperor was already an insurmountable existence.

At this moment, he once again realized the cruelty and schemes everywhere in the cultivation world.

If he hadn't asked Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuefan a few more questions, he would probably still be complacent about taking back the teleportation array at this moment.

But he didn't know that there was at least a Demon Emperor who had set up a trap on the teleportation array.

As for whether the Space Jade had been set up, Ye Jinghu didn't dare to gamble anymore.

So he simply detonated it directly. He was worried that if he was any slower, he might be stopped.

But fortunately, the distance he had separated earlier was far enough.

At this moment, Ye Jinghu only felt that the spirit compass instantly became blurred.

It turned out that the Shadow Wood Puppet had been discovered.

It had already been blown up.

Ye Jinghu didn't dare to stay and took out another Tier 3 Water Evasion Talisman, accelerating his escape to Taihang Prefecture.

“Perhaps I should go to the mortal world and be a merchant for once, to temper myself…” In the escape light, Ye Jinghu's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both rejoicing and frustrated, and also knowing his shame and being brave.

After thinking it over, he didn't plan to go into secluded cultivation directly. After all, those with Heavenly Spirit Roots, Exotic Spirit Roots, and even Spirit Bodies had precedents of failing to break through to the Violet Palace stage. If his state of mind didn't meet the standard, he might become the Ye family's first person to fail to break through to the Violet Palace stage.

That would be a disgrace to the Exotic Spirit Root.

Moreover, the Ye family wouldn't set up a teleportation array in the short term. His most important goal at the moment was to temper his state of mind and break through to the Violet Palace stage!

Then wait for the family's arrangements.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Jinghu thought of something, and took out a jade slip, recording everything from today and the past half-month in it.

Ye Jingcheng used to temper himself in this way, and he decided to do the same. He would ponder it every day, and he would definitely gain a lot!
