Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Inside the restaurant, the lotus leaves were in full bloom, with lotus flowers rising from the green foliage, swaying gently in the breeze.

The fragrance permeated the entire space.

However, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was in no mood to appreciate the scenery. He looked at True Monarch Xingyuan, who was also looking at him.

The expected anger did not appear, nor did a barrage of questions.

Instead, it was as if they were two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, staring intently at him.

This made Ye Jingcheng feel even more surprised and puzzled.

He believed that he had experienced enough, and even the elders of the Ye family might not be able to do better than him now.

But at this moment, he really couldn't see through the True Monarch Xingyuan in front of him.

The other party should be angry.

Even if not angry, he should have offered some explanation as he had expected.

After all, his words just now almost directly stated that the other party was going to ruin his path to cultivation.

Cultivation for cultivators emphasizes a clear Dao heart, especially for those stubborn cultivators. If a promise is made but not fulfilled, it can genuinely affect their future cultivation.

And ruining someone's path to cultivation is no less than the murder of one's father.

In addition, as the party being courted, Ye Jingcheng, after emerging from seclusion, met the lower-ranking Lord Lu, but did not meet the two lords, and even had to have the three of them conceal their identities to come to Xiaoshan Prefecture.

It was likely that they also knew that he had accepted Lord Lu's congratulatory gift.

Even after all this, he could still act like this. Ye Jingcheng could only curse inwardly, 'Old fox.'

He glanced to the side, wanting to assess the situation further, but unfortunately, Lord Xiao and Lord Wang, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, showed no other expression, only a hint of worry between their brows.

It also seemed to imply something.

"Indeed, I know some information about the Righteous Path Sect," Ye Jingcheng replied truthfully after seeing that there was no further information.

After speaking, he continued to listen, adhering to the principle of 'the less said, the less mistakes made.'

At the same time, he also checked with his divine sense to see if there were any spirit-probing talismans nearby.

Although the rooms in this lakeside residence belonged to the Ye family and the Duan family of the Tiansha Sect.

But the other party had entered first after all, and all three were cunning as foxes.

He wouldn't be surprised by any action they took.

"Then which faction do you favor?" True Monarch Xingyuan asked again, saying something that Ye Jingcheng couldn't understand.

"I don't know," Ye Jingcheng shook his head directly. He had only just learned about the factional disputes a few days ago, so how could he answer?

"Then let me ask it another way, what kind of faction can be passed down for a long time?" True Monarch Xingyuan said with a smile.

"A faction with a Deity Transformation Sovereign, such as the Zheng Huang Sect," Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that True Monarch Xingyuan's eyes were brighter.

However, just as he thought the latter would say something, True Monarch Xingyuan stopped speaking and slowly drank his spiritual tea.

Looking at him with even more profound meaning.

"The reason why factions, alliances, and sects are more likely to prosper than families lies in this. So you know what we are looking for."

"Then now, do you still harbor malice towards our risky probing?"

As soon as True Monarch Xingyuan said this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

But after thinking about it, the other party belonged to a sect, and a sect could not be like a family, where bloodline was often the top priority for its members.

"Many of us in the various factions are actually Righteous Path Sect members who joined later. Wherever there are people, there is Jianghu. Rather than being constantly infiltrated and developing into a family, sometimes, we will also actively invite some families to join. The Righteous Path Sect is too big, and any Dao lineage or clan is actually insignificant within it. Just the Blood Crimson Sect faction alone has more than 100,000 cultivators, with more than ten Nascent Souls, not to mention the Nascent Soul Daoists who are not core members."

True Monarch Xingyuan's explanation shocked Ye Jingcheng.

The other party was no longer just trying to win him over, nor was he treating the Tiansha Sect as an affiliated force, but wanted the Tiansha Sect and the Ye family to join them.

To become a true member of the Righteous Path Sect.

But he knew even more clearly in his heart that joining a Deity Transformation force might not necessarily be a good thing.

Moreover, there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

He didn't think that his cultivation talent was valued, which would allow the other party to support him as a Deity Transformation cultivator. This was simply unrealistic.

Even if True Monarch Zhengyuan personally told him this at this moment, he would not think it was so realistic, let alone that the one speaking in front of him was just a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

"Is it a force from the Eastern Region or the Northern Plains?" Finally, True Monarch Xingyuan began to ask.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt a little relieved instead.

He was really not used to all kinds of sweet words from the beginning.

"Eastern Region," Ye Jingcheng replied directly after thinking for a while.

"The Eastern Region has indeed produced two remarkable forces. Penglai has been raising Gu all day long, but I didn't expect two real dragons to emerge. It's really interesting," True Monarch Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Two forces, one being the Ye family, and the remaining one naturally being the Medicine King Valley.

And at this moment, Ye Jingcheng knew that he could no longer hide it.

The more clansmen who came, the more obvious the Ye family's presence became.

This could not be hidden. After all, one person could disguise well, but it was difficult for a group of people to disguise.

Daily greetings, dressing habits, and even the similarity of appearance, as well as the number of cultivators emerging, were actually difficult to hide.

When the Ye family arranged for a large number of clansmen to enter, they were already prepared.

The other party was only wavering between a few targets.

So when the other party asked about the Northern Region or the Eastern Region, he simply revealed his cards, even if he didn't sense the existence of a spirit-probing talisman.

"It's just that I was forced to the end of the road," Ye Jingcheng said with a helpless expression.

"There is no need to belittle yourself. Although Penglai is scolded as a Demonic Sect, its Dao Seed method is unparalleled in the Great Yu Realm. Even we are a little apprehensive about Penglai's performance. In recent years, the three major immortal sects and immortal families in the Central Region have also been wary of Penglai's large-scale invasion, so they made an agreement with them that year to divide the entire Eastern Region to them, but they cannot arbitrarily infiltrate the Central Region with the Dao Seed method," True Monarch Xingyuan continued.

"Moreover, the other party is also one of the few Deity Transformation forces with two Deity Transformation cultivators, and we don't even know if there are any hidden ones, but they should also be exposed in the coming days."

"Is Senior Xingyuan referring to the Medicine King Valley's matter?"

"Even without the Medicine King Valley's matter, this matter is not far off, and to be honest with you, the Deity Transformation forces in the Central Region have not been able to contact the Upper Realm for more than a thousand years, and even the current Deity Transformation seniors dare not enter the Ascension Platform to ascend even when they reach the middle stage of Deity Transformation," True Monarch Xingyuan then revealed another shocking piece of news.

Normally, Deity Transformation cultivators can enter the Ascension Platform to ascend when they reach the middle stage of Deity Transformation.

When they reach the late stage of Deity Transformation, they do not even need the Ascension Platform and will automatically ascend.

These Deity Transformation cultivators cannot be contacted now, which means they could be contacted before.

The Central Region's forces have a decent background after all.

Of course, thinking deeply, this made Ye Jingcheng even more horrified.

Because the Ye family's three ancestral precepts also contained the words 'never ascend.'

Plus, a thousand years ago, this time could be said to be very coincidental.

"I am telling you this not to scare you, but just to tell you that the more you cultivate, the more you must strive forward. At the same time, the Righteous Path Sect is by no means comparable to a Demonic Sect like Penglai. Of course, just like the probing before today, the Righteous Path Sect will never tolerate a person with a Dao Seed entering the Central Region, nor will it allow people with ulterior motives to join."

"At the same time, Martial Uncle Zhengyuan also asked me to convey a message to you. If you can break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul before the next Earth Immortal Realm opens, Martial Uncle will personally accept you as a disciple," True Monarch Xingyuan then spoke again.

This could be considered the biggest promise.

This made the Lord Wang and Lord Xiao next to him a little surprised.

Obviously, they didn't know at first that True Monarch Xingyuan would have such words when meeting Ye Jingcheng.

Becoming a disciple of a Deity Transformation True Monarch was much better than joining the Blood Crimson Faction.

It also represented that Ye Jingcheng truly had the potential to become a Deity Transformation cultivator.

However, after thinking about it, if Ye Jingcheng was not mistaken, then Ye Jingcheng was only in his early two hundreds, and such a Nascent Soul cultivator was rare even in the Righteous Path Sect.

And the most crucial point was that, unlike the Righteous Path Sect members who had been taking spiritual pills since childhood and cultivating in sixth-order spiritual veins, Ye Jingcheng's cultivation environment might not even be as good as Xiaoshan Prefecture.

Moreover, because he did not gain much in the Earth Immortal Realm, his Nascent Soul might have been formed by the Five Demon Transformation Nascent Soul Secret Art.

Such a cultivator, who had never even eaten a Nascent Soul Transformation Pill, had enormous talent, and coupled with the fact that he was a high-level alchemist, he was also worth wooing and nurturing.

They finally knew why True Monarch Xingyuan had designed Ye Jingcheng that way.

After all, regardless of whether Ye Jingcheng discovered it or not, they now knew the origin of the Tiansha Sect, and even knew that the person in front of them could not be from the Demonic Sect. Moreover, the White Jade Sect, which was the most skilled at winning people's hearts and had the largest number among the other four major factions, would never be able to win over Ye Jingcheng and the Ye family behind him.

"Which faction do the remaining Nascent Soul forces belong to?"

"The Liu family belongs to the White Jade Faction, as for the Jiang family, they can barely be considered the Zheng Huang Faction, as for the Flowing Cloud Sect, they are very free," True Monarch Xingyuan did not hide anything.

"If you want the Heavenly Pivot Prefecture, you need to compete for it yourself. As for the other prefectures, we can strive for them for you," True Monarch Xingyuan said.

"Of course, if you don't plan to develop in the Southern Wilderness Continent, you can also enter the Southern Cloud Continent. Wan Kun will be the governor there in the future. Of course, although the Nascent Soul forces in the mainland are fewer and weaker, they have a closer relationship with the Righteous Path Sect, and the market there will not take out half to distribute to the remaining Nascent Soul forces."

"In general, it's more stable, but there are fewer development opportunities."

"Thank you, Senior Xingyuan," Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands.

"There's no need to call me Senior, we are both Nascent Souls, just call me Elder Xingyuan," True Monarch Xingyuan waved his hand.

Then he said:

"In the future, if you want to exchange for any treasures, you can also find Wan Kun. He now has a lot of authority in the sect, and it is very easy to exchange for some precious medicines. At the same time, the sect can also help you refine your natal magic weapon."

"However, before you completely enter the Righteous Path Sect, everything will need to be exchanged with spiritual stones and resources."
