Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Ancient trees reached for the sky, their shadows dancing.

As dusk approached, the last rays of the setting sun spilled over the mountain peaks, bathing everything in a golden glow.

Beneath a stone bridge, a stream gurgled, its sound clear and melodious.

The entire secret realm seemed tranquil and beautiful. Ye Jingcheng lay hidden beneath the earth, suppressing his aura to the lowest possible level. Underneath his isolation robe, he gripped the Forbidden Army Shield in one hand and caressed the spirit beast pouch containing the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor with the other.

At the same time, he was constantly activating the Soul Servant Blood Escape secret technique within his body.

And on his waist, there was another spirit beast pouch that was open.

Inside the spirit beast pouch, the Jade Ring Mouse also looked solemn, its ears perked up, trembling slightly, as it listened intently with all its attention.

"Could it be that I've miscalculated?" Ye Jingcheng watched as the twilight deepened, and the spiritual mark on his body was gradually disappearing, but there were no changes at the entrance to the secret realm or outside it.

He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

He took out another jade talisman and glanced at it, discovering that the Shadow Wood Puppet also hadn't detected any trace of Zhang Zhiqiu.

It was as if all his guesses were wrong, or perhaps the other party was wary of Prince Wang and Chief Xiao.

After all, he was heading towards the Upper Immortal Realm, and Prince Wang and Chief Xiao would inevitably want to align themselves with the Upper Immortal Realm as well.

Ye Jingcheng pondered for a while, but without a solution, he could only continue to wait.

One day, two days.

A full five days passed, and there was no movement outside or inside the secret realm.

Although the Shadow Wood Puppet didn't directly cover the entrance of the secret realm, it could still roughly see some spiritual light scenes. If anyone approached, Ye Jingcheng would know.

But at this moment, there was nothing at all, not even a Golden Core cultivator.

To the point where Ye Jingcheng even began to wonder if Zhang Zhiqiu had already given up on attacking him.

In Ye Jingcheng's storage bag, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan couldn't help but inquire through the family token.

They were hidden well inside the cave dwelling.

Naturally, they couldn't see the situation outside.

Ye Jingcheng was also hesitant at this moment.

If they didn't go out, and waited for another half a month or so, they would completely lose the opportunity to search for treasures in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Although the previous gains were already considerable, for the vast Ye family, they needed too many spiritual objects.

Including Ye Jingcheng, he also wanted to search for traces of the Frost Marrow Heart in this secret realm.

After all, this was related to his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Just as Ye Jingcheng was beginning to hesitate, he saw a change finally occur at the distant entrance of the secret realm.

First, a young and handsome face appeared. After taking a look, a male and a female cultivator entered the secret realm.

"It's a pity, all the treasures have been searched!" The male cultivator spoke first.

"This stream seems a bit unusual." The female cultivator pointed her slender finger towards the flowing water under the stone bridge.

"It's not even at the third rank, what use is it to us? Let's look elsewhere." The handsome cultivator also looked over, but after just one glance, he said in disappointment.

He led the female cultivator to search on the spiritual mountain.

After searching for about three incense sticks' worth of time, they headed back towards the outer secret realm.

Just like ordinary treasure-hunting cultivators, they left disappointed, muttering complaints as they went.

But at this moment, Ye Jingcheng's heart stirred.

Although he didn't use his divine sense and didn't know what the two had done, and the Shadow Wood Puppet could only see their backs and couldn't discern the expressions in their eyes.

He was eighty percent certain that these were Zhang Zhiqiu's arranged clones.

Inside his spirit beast pouch, the Jade Ring Mouse's hearing was also very clear.

It knew when the two entered, where they landed, and when they left.

This Zhang Zhiqiu was truly cautious, but he had overlooked a common-sense fact: two normal Golden Core cultivators would absolutely not stay in this secret realm for more than ten breaths of time.

They could tell how many treasures were in the secret realm with one glance. How could normal cultivators search here for so long?

Time in the Earth Immortal Realm was extremely precious. If it were Ye Jingcheng himself, he wouldn't have searched for so long.

Especially in a secret realm close to the Upper Immortal Realm.

If Ye Jingcheng's prediction wasn't wrong, Zhang Zhiqiu had arranged for clones to search for hidden formations and whether any Nascent Soul cultivators were hiding here.

This level of caution made Ye Jingcheng admire him. After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator was chasing after a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet he was still so careful.

Of course, he estimated that the other party was also afraid that Ye Jingcheng would join forces with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Righteous Path to kill him.

After all, Prince Wang and Chief Xiao had praised his talent to the extreme, and it was very likely that they would arrange for a Nascent Soul cultivator to protect Ye Jingcheng or even kill him.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little troubled when he thought of this.

The more careful the other party was, the greater the difficulty for them to kill him, and the risk would also increase exponentially.

Why was Zhang Zhiqiu, who was notorious, still able to roam free?

It was because he was vindictive, specialized in bullying the weak, and was as slippery as an eel.

Apart from the Transformation God Sects, even the Nascent Soul forces didn't dare to offend Zhang Zhiqiu.

"Hopefully, he'll fall for it!" Ye Jingcheng sent a message to Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, explaining the situation.

Let them continue to wait.

According to Zhang Zhiqiu's level of caution, even if the other party saw that there were no formations, knowing that he was still inside, he would probably still wait for a while.

As a rogue cultivator, Zhang Zhiqiu could afford to wait in the Earth Immortal Realm, but he knew that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Righteous Path couldn't afford to wait. They needed to search for Transformation God treasures, find treasures that could accelerate cultivation for the sect's Transformation God cultivators, and also look for some high-level inheritances.

Sure enough, another three days passed, and Ye Jingcheng was also prepared to give up on treasure hunting in the Earth Immortal Realm and just keep stalling Zhang Zhiqiu here.

For such a tricky Nascent Soul cultivator, if Ye Jingcheng couldn't kill him here, the consequences would definitely be endless.

And just as another dusk arrived.

This time, a huge face finally appeared in the sky.

This face had small eyes, but they were extremely cunning and sly, and its gaze instantly looked towards Ye Jingcheng's hiding place.

"Little brat, where do you think you're going to hide? Hand over the Frost Dragon and Scarlet Fox obediently, and willingly dissolve the blood pact. Maybe this old man will spare your life." With these words, a figure finally appeared at the entrance of the secret realm.

Ye Jincheng was also preparing to release the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

But quickly, he became alert again.

He couldn't sense the other party's powerful aura.

Although he appeared to have the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Ye Jincheng felt that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

This was clearly a Golden Core doppelganger pretending to be a Nascent Soul body.

Ye Jincheng felt a wave of fear. If he had released the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor immediately, the other party's main body would have escaped at the first moment.

Seeing this, Ye Jincheng took out the Western Queen Blood Mother Sword and released the Jade Kirin Dragon and Scarlet Flame Fox.

A sword, a fire, and an ice dragon headed towards Zhang Zhiqiu.

"As expected of a pure-blooded dragon, even at the late fourth rank, it can make me so palpitate!" Zhang Zhiqiu's figure was not annoyed by Ye Jincheng's attack. If Ye Jincheng hadn't attacked, he would have been suspicious.

As he waved his sleeves, a huge golden tower appeared, releasing a brilliant golden light.

Ye Jincheng's pride and joy—the Western Queen Blood Mother Sword, the Scarlet Flame Fox's five-colored fire lotus, and the Jade Kirin Dragon's ice dragon technique—all disappeared like melting ice and snow under the golden tower.

Not even a trace was left.

"This azure flame, tsk tsk, is truly a good treasure!" At first, Zhang Zhiqiu was only staring at the Jade Kirin Dragon, but then he discovered the Azure Yang Flame, and the greed in his eyes intensified.

He didn't expect that a casual pursuit would actually catch a big fish.

This was much faster than him pretending to be a Golden Core loose cultivator to lure cultivators.

"In the future, maybe my Daoist title can be changed. Frost Dragon True Lord and Scarlet Fox True Lord are both extremely good!" Zhang Zhiqiu was already secretly pondering.

Ye Jincheng's face turned pale. Even if it was Zhang Zhiqiu's doppelganger, he was somewhat helpless against a fourth-rank peak golden tower.

Seeing Ye Jincheng's expression, Zhang Zhiqiu was extremely satisfied.

This was the expression a蝼蚁 should have. He enjoyed this expression.

"Alright, this old man's patience is running out. Today, I will reluctantly let you walk the same path as me, and after I refine you into my host body!" Zhang Zhiqiu raised his hand. Outside the secret realm, another figure appeared again at this moment.

This figure held a maple tree and threw it towards the entrance of the secret realm, and immediately a formation appeared, just like before, which made Ye Jincheng certain.

This was Zhang Zhiqiu's main body.

A true Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Senior, I am willing to hand over the Scarlet Flame Fox and Jade Kirin Dragon," Ye Jincheng said repeatedly.

But Zhang Zhiqiu sneered.

"Hmph, too late!"

"Moreover, when this old man was scheming, you didn't even know where you were going to be reincarnated! And you still dare to play tricks under my nose!" He flicked his sleeves, and instantly a strong wind rose.

Countless maple leaf branches stretched out from all directions in the sky, turning into a rain of wooden spear roots, shooting towards Ye Jincheng.

Seeing this, Ye Jincheng did not dare to be careless, and repeatedly pinched the final spiritual incantation. He opened his palm, and a Five Elements Divine Lightning blasted towards Zhang Zhiqiu in the distance!

Although this Five Elements Divine Lightning was the five elements of the five fingers, it had already merged together in the air, extremely violent.

The five-colored spiritual light intertwined, also displaying extremely terrifying spiritual power.

"Five Elements Divine Lightning? Good kid!" Zhang Zhiqiu saw the Five Elements Divine Lightning constantly enlarging, and the violent aura made him feel a little palpitation. For a time, he was both angry and happy.

Immediately, he once again urged the golden giant tower to block in front.

Just as he thought Ye Jincheng would be pierced through the heart and die by the Void Maple Spear, Ye Jincheng actually released another Vermilion Bird True Flame.

This Vermilion Bird True Flame was Ye Jincheng's Law Comprehension Divine Power.

Once displayed, the Vermilion Bird chirped loudly, and all the fires moved together, making the entire secret realm extremely red.

It also particularly restrained the maple vines.

The fiery scene appeared, instantly occupying the entire secret realm.

Countless maple vines were burned to ashes, and even the formation protecting the entrance of the secret realm began to blur.

However, when the flames dissipated, Zhang Zhiqiu's body was still in place, and his robes were even intact, spotless.

Only a golden tower seemed a little dim.

"Still not working?" Ye Jincheng's body had unknowingly landed behind the spiritual mountain in the depths of the secret realm. He couldn't help but mutter, revealing a sense of powerlessness.

"An ant trying to shake a tree!" Zhang Zhiqiu's main body couldn't help but shout.

And rushed towards Ye Jincheng.

He had now changed his mind, he wanted to search the soul, Law Comprehension Divine Power, Five Elements Divine Lightning, pure-blooded dragon, vitality flame fox, he wanted them all!

Including the other party's body, it would also be refined into the best host body.

However, what made him a little puzzled was that as he flew out and reached out to grab the other party, not only was Ye Jincheng not afraid, but a hint of teasing appeared in his eyes.

He was no stranger to this kind of look.

He usually pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, and would show this kind of look before killing those Golden Cores like chickens and dogs.

"I've been tricked!"

His heart turned cold, and his body couldn't help but pause, but he saw behind him, a peach tree suddenly soared dozens of feet, breaking his Ancient Maple Formation clean.

The huge peach tree face kept swaying peach branches.

And two cultivators appeared in front of him at some point.

One cultivator held four swords, hidden in a sword gourd, with a stern face.

One cultivator held a formation plate, with formation flags flying.

As well as Golden Eagle, Golden Light Rhino, Soul Extinguishing Insect Demon King, Mammoth Demon King, Two-Headed Turtle Demon King, Golden Eagle, White-Browed Green Wolf, Six-Colored Cloud Deer, Peng Fish, Black Crow Demon King, Malachite Demon King, Stone Spirit Cave…

A dozen demon kings appeared together!

This scene, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, was extremely moving!
