Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Beneath the serene lake, wisps of cold air drifted upwards, making the bottom of the pool seem even more tranquil and frigid.

A light blue spiritual barrier isolated the countless gallons of water.

Four figures stood within the spiritual barrier, completely unaffected by the water.

Others might not see anything special, but Ye Jingcheng noticed that this stone also had python纹 (wén - pattern/design), somewhat similar to the python纹 of the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit.

Although the stone's material might be different, Stone Spirits and Cave Heaven spaces were inherently mysterious, and even the Turtle Ancestor possessed a Turtle-within-a-Turtle Cave Heaven, so Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn't determine if this was a Cave Heaven.

However, upon closer inspection, the紋 (wén - pattern/design) on it showed no signs of activity, the surrounding spiritual energy wasn't flowing into the stone, and no life force emanated from it.

Perhaps even if it was once a Stone Spirit, that was a thing of the past.

Ye Jingcheng's gaze was fervent; he naturally hoped that this was a Cave Heaven, even if it couldn't grow like the Jade-within-Heaven, it would still be a Cave Heaven at least.

However, Ye Jingcheng quickly smiled wryly; there seemed to be a formation beside this stone, firmly suppressing it in place.

Ye Jingcheng reached out to grab it, but it didn't budge an inch. Ye Jingcheng then had the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor try to grab it, but it was equally immovable.

"It should have been refined into a fixed secret realm!" The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor seemed to know something and spoke up.

Hearing that it was a secret realm, Ye Jingcheng's interest instantly waned, and he began to mobilize his true essence towards the patterned stone.

As the true essence surged, the spiritual紋 (wén - pattern/design) became increasingly bright, like a radiant moonstone, pouring out moonlight.

Before long, the water at the bottom of the pool began to spin, forming a vortex. The vortex spun faster and faster, eventually transforming into a serene void, which was clearly the entrance to a secret realm.

"It's a Fifth-Order Secret Realm!" After sensing it, everyone excitedly spoke up.

Although a Fifth-Order Secret Realm couldn't be used to hide everyone's figures, it also meant that the harvest within this secret realm should be quite good.

Of course, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was also a little worried that someone might have already gotten here first.

After all, the spiritual herbs on Spirit Mountain had already been picked.

Ye Jingcheng first took out a Fourth-Order Spiritual Puppet and entered the secret realm first, then he released the Goldscale Beast, Peacock Stone, and Stone Spirit.

After confirming that there were no dangers or formations inside, the three people and one beast entered.

The secret realm wasn't large, somewhat similar to Ye Jingcheng's Cave Heaven, but as soon as they entered, Ye Jingcheng felt a surge of pure spiritual energy wash over him, and before him appeared more than a dozen Spirit Mountains.

On each Spirit Mountain were pavilions, towers, and palace complexes.

Above the mountain peaks, clouds and mist swirled, creating a sense of otherworldly paradise.

"This is…" Ye Jingcheng hesitated at this moment.

Because these Spirit Mountains seemed like the Spirit Mountains of a sect.

Within these pavilions and Spirit Mountains, it seemed as if cultivators existed.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, Ye Xuecang, and Ye Xuefan were all somewhat hesitant and even worried.

If there were really cultivators who had been cultivating here all along, they would probably have already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Everyone warily took out their magical treasures, and Ye Jingcheng also took out all of his spirit beasts, guarding against any possible dangers.

After taking out the spirit beasts, Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, then took out the Jade Ring Rat.

Everyone was somewhat surprised that Ye Jingcheng took out the Jade Ring Rat, after all, the Jade Ring Rat was too common in the Ye family, and most Jade Ring Rats couldn't even break through to the Second Order.

They were even more unclear about the significance of Ye Jingcheng taking out a Jade Ring Rat.

"Jingcheng, this Jade Ring Rat…" Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang were extremely surprised at this moment.

They all knew that Ye Jingcheng had a Jade Ring Rat, but in their memory, the Jade Ring Rat was only at the First Order.

But the Jade Ring Rat at this moment was clearly a Third-Order Great Demon.

"Second Great Uncle, Fourth Great Uncle, my Jade Ring Rat had some slight opportunities," Ye Jingcheng explained.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to the surroundings.

"May I ask if there are any fellow Daoists nearby?" Ye Jingcheng looked around.

He said it a full three times, but still no one responded.

After the Jade Ring Rat's ears stood up, it spoke after a while:

"Master, there are no cultivators present, only an Eagle Demon, Third Order or higher!"

It also pointed towards the most central Spirit Mountain, telling Ye Jingcheng that the Eagle Demon was on that most central Spirit Mountain.

However, the Jade Ring Rat couldn't understand its cultivation level.

"Well done!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but praise it, then took out a spirit pill and gave it to the Jade Ring Rat.

The Jade Ring Rat hurriedly cupped its paws and bowed after receiving the spirit pill.

It was different from other spirit beasts; obtaining a spirit pill wasn't too difficult. It knew its own bumpy road and the powerlessness of not being able to advance, so it cherished every spirit pill.

At this moment, Ye Xuefan had already set up a formation at the entrance of the secret realm. If any other cultivators entered, they would fall into the formation immediately, and the creatures inside wouldn't be able to escape the formation either.

After preparing everything, the three people and one beast flew towards the most central Spirit Mountain. This Spirit Mountain was particularly tall, and the mountain gate stood tall on the mountainside, with an extraordinary aura.

"Chess Heaven Pavilion!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the name of the mountain gate and felt extremely unfamiliar and puzzled.

There were very few sects named after chess.

Ye Jingcheng casually conjured a divine lightning and blasted it towards the mountain gate.

As the divine lightning struck the mountain gate, it instantly triggered a spiritual formation. Lightning arcs flickered and fluctuated, but the spiritual shield didn't dissipate.

Instead, it became even tighter.

"Fifth-Order Formation!" Ye Jingcheng didn't speak, but Ye Xuefan next to him spoke.

Although Ye Xuefan was only in the early stage of the Golden Core, he had been studying formations for decades. Perhaps his formation attainments hadn't reached the high-grade Fourth Order, but his vision in formations was much richer.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng no longer hesitated and directly took out the Peach Wood.

As the Peach Wood Wood Demon took root in the void, countless wooden roots penetrated towards the formation in front of him.

The roots, carrying spiritual light, charged straight through the formation, completely unaffected by it.

At this moment, the Peach Wood also went towards the top of a pavilion in the distance.

There was a light blue stone bead there.

As the natal spiritual root knocked away the stone bead.

The entire formation suddenly unraveled. Ye Xuefan glanced at all the pavilions and towers, then suddenly understood.

"The tops of these buildings are stone beads. This formation seems to have given us some hints!" Ye Xuefan said, then became somewhat puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of formation should cover all the pavilions and towers, and only barren mountains should be visible from the outside.

Moreover, this kind of concealing formation wasn't complicated. Ye Xuefan believed that he could set it up himself.

Chirp!

With a clear cry, a Hawk-Eagle flew out. Its black feathers were somewhat like black crows.

But its body was like a Roc, and it also had some owl纹 (wén - pattern/design).

Its wings suddenly spread out, and countless black feathers covered down, turning into a black canopy, pressing towards Ye Jingcheng and the others.

"Submit or die!" Ye Jingcheng shouted sharply.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor also released its aura at this moment.

This Hawk-Eagle's strength wasn't weak, reaching the late stage of the Fourth Order. Obviously, it had grown a lot in this secret realm.

Unlike before, when there was no opportunity to subdue it, now that he had a soul contract and this secret realm was relatively safe, Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted to strengthen his power.

He stretched out his hand, and a bronze mirror magic treasure shone out, illuminating all the black feathers.

However, the Hawk-Eagle continued to croak and charged down. Its speed was extremely terrifying, even faster than the Golden Falcon.

"No, the black mist greatly increases its speed!" Ye Jingcheng also sensed that the black feathers that had just spread out were also a manifestation of spiritual power, and not all spiritual power was black.

There was also some spiritual power like rain and mist hidden in the air.

Through these rain and mist, the Hawk-Eagle's speed was greatly increased.

However, its speed was still not enough in front of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor snorted coldly, leaped out, and grabbed down with one claw.

Rumble!

A sonic boom came, and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor caught the Hawk-Eagle's head like catching a chick.

The latter still wanted to struggle, but then the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor glanced at Ye Jingcheng. After Ye Jingcheng nodded, it twisted and killed the Hawk-Eagle.

This Demon King seemed to have stayed in the secret realm for too long and was a blockhead, not even afraid of the Demon Emperor, so there was naturally no need to keep it.

Ye Jingcheng threw the corpse to Ye Xuecang and continued to have Ye Xuecang put it away.

The three people also checked the buildings and pavilions.

However, to their disappointment, most of the buildings were empty, with nothing inside.

They even saw traces of the Hawk-Eagle lingering everywhere.

"This is the Chess Heaven Treasure Hall, it should be where the Chess Heaven Pavilion stores treasures…" After checking around, they finally arrived at a heavily guarded hall.

There were formations here again.

However, the formations here weren't the previous spiritual shields, but a chessboard.

It was even a bizarre chess piece formation.

"Fourth Great Uncle, you may need to try this out!" Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Xuefan.

The latter also hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuecang went down the Spirit Mountain to explore the other Spirit Mountains.

"Spirit Herb Garden!" Ye Jingcheng opened the formation of one of the Spirit Mountains with the Peach Wood and couldn't help but exclaim.

Before him, a spirit herb garden appeared.

Although the spirit herb garden wasn't large, there weren't many spirit herbs inside.

But Ye Jingcheng saw a Condensing Gold Fruit tree, saw two Purple Jade Vines, and also saw some auxiliary herbs.

Of course, after watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng's gaze completely fell on a Primordial Jade Fruit tree in the very center.

This Primordial Jade Fruit was one of the three main herbs for the Nascent Soul Pill.

Ye Jingcheng was previously worried about where to find it, but he didn't expect to obtain it in this secret realm.

It was still a Primordial Jade Fruit tree.

The fruit tree had obviously passed the fruiting period and didn't bear fruit, but Ye Jingcheng had the Blood Spring. Even if the fruit had just finished bearing fruit and would take two to three hundred years, it would only take him a hundred years.

Even as the Blood Spring breaks through to the Fourth Order in the future, this time will be shortened.

Ye Jingcheng carefully put away the fruit tree and also picked all the remaining spirit herbs.

Now he estimates that the secret realm that Palace Master Xiao and Manor Lord Wang are going to break into is probably like this.

This made Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh, this Earth Immortal Realm really has many treasures. Now it has only been half a month, and the harvest has been great for the Ye family!

"There is a mine here, with many Purple Yuan Gang Silver mines!" Ye Xuecang's voice also came from a Spirit Mountain next to him.

You must know that this Purple Yuan Gang Silver is also extremely precious, it is a high-grade Third-Order spiritual material. When mixed into flying swords, it can also make the flying swords extremely sharp and unbreakable.
