Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Within the Secret Realm, the most magnificent was undoubtedly the Spirit Mountain at its center.

Half of the Spirit Mountain was shrouded in clouds, while the other half resided within them.

On the grand mountain gate, the three large characters for 'Supreme Origin Hall' carried an inexplicable aura, making one feel their own insignificance upon seeing them.

Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, Ye Jingcheng, and the others held considerable anticipation for this Spirit Mountain.

After all, the Spirit Herb Garden outside the Spirit Mountain already contained so many transformed spirit herbs, with several Tier 5 spirit herbs among them.

The Spirit Mountain's inheritance was bound to be extraordinary.

Moreover, while the formation of the Spirit Herb Garden was teetering on the brink under the aftermath of the great battle, the formation of this inherited Spirit Mountain remained unchanged, still profoundly mysterious.

Ye Xuefan took out a formation plate and began probing the formation.

However, like the formation of the Qitian Pavilion before, it was clearly not an ordinary formation. After probing for a long time without gaining any insight, Ye Xuefan couldn't help but feel utterly helpless.

Although his attainments in formations were not weak, these were, after all, Tier 5 formations. If he wanted to break or even understand them, he was still far from capable.

Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, had finally exhausted the treasure light and returned all the spirit beasts to his cave abode, allowing them to recuperate within.

He then led the Peach Wood and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to the front of the Spirit Mountain as well.

Without Ye Jingcheng's prompting, the Peach Wood actively flew into the void, transforming into a towering ancient tree, with countless roots extending outwards.

After absorbing for nearly half an hour, the formation finally burst open a gap.

"Master, the formations on this are too complex!" Even after opening a gap, Peach Wood couldn't help but exclaim.

These words caused Ye Jingcheng and the others to frown slightly.

Fortunately, the Shadow Wood Puppet they had left outside hadn't encountered any problems, indicating that no cultivators would be coming to this Secret Realm for the time being.

They didn't need to be too anxious.

"Let's test it with a spirit puppet first!" Ye Jingcheng suggested.

As he spoke, he directed a spirit puppet towards the mountain gate.

However, as soon as the spirit puppet entered the mountain gate, its pace began to slow down. Ye Jingcheng frowned. This mountain gate seemed to be like the Tiangang Body Tempering Formation, gradually making the puppet's movements somewhat labored.

But then, Ye Jingcheng only felt that he had lost contact with the spirit puppet.

Just as Ye Jingcheng thought there was danger, the spirit puppet suddenly landed behind him.

"It was teleported out!" Ye Jingcheng felt even more surprised at this moment. Furthermore, when he had the spirit puppet go towards the mountain peak, he discovered that the spirit puppet had actually been blocked in front of the Spirit Mountain.

Another hidden formation had appeared, isolating the spirit puppet.

"Fourth Great-Grandfather, Dragon Ancestor, it seems that everyone can only attempt to enter this Spirit Mountain once!" Ye Jingcheng said after pondering for a moment.

There was clearly a trial-type formation in front of the mountain gate.

If one passed, they could search for treasure on the mountain; if one failed, they would fall down the mountain, missing out on the treasure mountain.

"I'll try it first!" Ye Xuefan proposed.

Ye Jingcheng didn't refuse.

At this time, Ye Xuefan was in the best condition. Ye Jingcheng was relieved to let him try. As for the dangers on the mountain, there shouldn't be any.

Si Kong Zitian should have been here before, otherwise, he wouldn't have given up even on the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu halfway for the sake of this Secret Realm.

At the same time, if there were still dangers, Si Kong Ziming and Si Kong Zitian wouldn't have started fighting before they even got their hands on any treasures.

"This formation is testing one's understanding of formations. It seems like I'm seeing the Dao of Chess Formations again!" Ye Xuefan transmitted his voice as soon as he approached the mountain gate of the Supreme Origin Hall.

However, after transmitting this sentence, Ye Jingcheng could no longer receive Ye Xuefan's voice transmission.

And at this moment, Ye Xuefan was actually below the mountain gate of the Supreme Origin Hall.

Ye Jingcheng's eyes swirled with the Star Illusion Eyes, and the Jade Ring Mouse beside him listened attentively.

But even so, Ye Jingcheng didn't discover any exploitable opportunities in the Supreme Origin Hall.

He looked at the Peach Wood, and the Peach Wood extended several peach wood roots, probing in front of the mountain gate several times, but in the end, it still failed to create any ripples.

The Peach Wood also transmitted its voice.

"Master, the formation base of this formation doesn't seem to be near this mountain gate. Moreover, because there are several formation bases on the periphery, it's impossible to find which one is the formation base of this assessment formation." This was the first time Peach Wood felt somewhat powerless against a formation.

From this, Ye Jingcheng could also know that Peach Wood wasn't omnipotent in breaking formations, especially formations without formation bases on the periphery, which Peach Wood found the most difficult to break.

Ye Jingcheng, far from being discouraged by this, was instead even more expectant.

After all, only such a formation mountain gate would indicate that there were bound to be many treasures on the mountain.

… …

On the other side, Ye Xuefan looked at the surrounding formations, with countless chess pieces coming towards him.

"So it's an illusion formation, but I've already been at a disadvantage once in this Dao of Chess, how could I be at a disadvantage again?" Ye Xuefan couldn't help but murmur.

He also waved his hand, and several chess formation profound stones were thrown out by him, transforming into chess puppets that landed around him.

With the chess pieces moving out one after another, finally, all the chess pieces blocking him fell, and a spiritual light dissipated.

Everything dissipated, and Ye Xuefan also saw the appearance of the mountain. He saw several palaces standing on the mountain, and each palace seemed to be roughly the same.

And in his ears, a profound and extraordinary Dao sound was transmitted.

Ye Xuefan couldn't understand or hear these Dao sounds clearly.

But he only felt that under the circulation of the Dao sounds, his injuries and condition were gradually improving. This power of the Dao sounds greatly shocked Ye Xuefan's heart.

He also walked towards the palace on the mountain.

Soon, he landed in front of a palace. This palace was born luxurious, and all the mountains seemed to be the same, without any obvious differences.

The palace gate was tightly closed, making it impossible to see the treasures inside. Ye Xuefan also tentatively pushed open the palace gate.

The palace gate was not thick or difficult to push.

When a crack appeared, one could already see inside, resembling an ancestral hall, where memorial tablets were enshrined. However, the tablets didn't bear specific names, only the two large characters 'Extreme Origin'.

Upon the Eight Immortals table were placed three jade boxes and one jade scroll.

He looked delighted.

However, what made him hesitate was that after ascending the mountain, there were no further formations, which seemed almost too easy.

Of course, hesitation aside, Ye Xuefan still used a spirit puppet to approach and open the jade boxes.

Inside the jade boxes were, respectively, a piece of fourth-order high-grade Azure Silver Treasure Crystal, a stalk of fourth-order high-grade Heavenly Lightning Profound Lotus, and a fourth-order top-grade magic weapon, an Azure Light Fan.

The former two were rare treasures in the outside cultivation world. The Treasure Crystal could be used to refine top-tier flying swords, while the Profound Lotus was a treasure for lightning-attribute cultivators, capable of assisting lightning-attribute Golden Core late-stage cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Core peak.

The magic weapon, needless to say, was a high-quality magic weapon that Ye Xuefan particularly loved.

Inside the jade scroll was an earth-grade cultivation method, the Azure Lotus Profound Classic.

Ye Xuefan didn't put away the treasures. Instead, he retrieved a spirit puppet and had it head out of the palace.

As soon as the spirit puppet exited the palace, a ray of spiritual light shone and disappeared before the palace.

"As expected, once you enter this palace, you can't leave again," Ye Xuefan shook his head.

"This time, I was overly cautious!" Ye Xuefan couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. He returned to the Eight Immortals table, respectfully bowed, and then chose the cultivation method, the Azure Lotus Profound Classic.

This cultivation method was a dual cultivation technique for both body and magic. Upon reaching a high level, one could cultivate a natal lotus platform for healing, or use lotus petals to slay enemies from thousands of miles away.

Although he himself couldn't use it, the Ye family's clansmen could.

By the next three-hundred-year cycle, even if the Ye family didn't produce many Nascent Souls, the number of Golden Cores who had cultivated top-tier cultivation methods should increase several times over.

Of course, before making his choice, he released several spirit puppets.

To take the treasure together with him.

But as the jade scroll fell into his hand, spiritual light shone, and he appeared outside Spirit Mountain, along with the spirit puppets he had released.

However, he still held a jade scroll in his hand, but the spirit puppets beside him were empty-handed.

"As expected, there's no way to exploit loopholes!" Ye Xuefan couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

In the distance, Ye Xuecang was still meditating to recover, while Ye Jingcheng and the Earth Dragon were waiting before the mountain gate.

Looking at that Extreme Origin Mountain again, Ye Xuefan felt that this mountain and its inheritance were even more profound and mysterious.

He knew that if he were to retrieve treasures from the higher halls, they would definitely be even more precious.

But fortunately, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuefan still had a chance.

Moreover, the group of spirit beasts and demon kings could also try their luck. There were many great halls in the mountain. If the Ye family's Golden Core combat power could each take something once, that would be twenty treasures.

Once spirit beasts reached the fourth-order, their intelligence was not lacking.

"Jingcheng, there are many treasure halls in this mountain, but you can only take one item. You must choose carefully..." Ye Xuefan couldn't get close to Extreme Origin Mountain either, so he could only remind Ye Jingcheng from afar.

"Also, if you want to retrieve a treasure, you must pass the mountain gate!"

"Thank you, Fourth Grand Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng repeatedly nodded upon hearing this.

"Dragon Ancestor, I hope that you can lead the beasts to venture into this secret realm later." He released his blessed land and walked towards the mountain gate alone.

In the distance, Ye Xuefan wasn't idle either. He activated the Beast Communication Sigil and headed towards the Beast Tower, which was extremely similar to the Beast Communication Tower.

"As expected, it's a phantom array, and it should be different for everyone." As soon as Ye Jingcheng stepped before the mountain gate, he felt a pressure fall upon him, somewhat similar to the Gravity Goldscale Beast's gravity, but with an indescribable difference.

When he looked at the mountain gate again, he saw that there was no mountain gate, only a arena.

Before the arena, a black-faced man who cultivated both body and magic was waiting for him.

If one looked closely at the man's face, he was somewhat similar to Ye Jingcheng.

Moreover, the other party also had the aura of a Golden Core late-stage cultivator and cultivated the Five Elements method.

"The aura of his cultivation method is somewhat similar to mine. Challenging myself?" Ye Jingcheng was extremely surprised.

But surprise aside, he still activated the Five Elements Divine Lightning and headed towards the black-faced man.

However, the other party also used the Five Elements Divine Lightning. Two bolts of divine lightning blasted out together, turning into a huge thundercloud in the sky that couldn't dissipate for a long time.

For a time, neither could do anything to the other.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also unleashed various Five Elements Divine Lightning and Five Spirits Secret Techniques.

And clashed with that black-faced cultivator.

"My true essence isn't as strong as mine, nor is my recovery as powerful," Ye Jingcheng concluded after clashing for a while.

"If there were ample time, I could spar with you more!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head, somewhat helpless. This black-faced man was indeed extremely useful for his cultivation of secret techniques.

Especially in cultivating the Five Elements Divine Lightning and Five Spirits Secret Techniques.

Clearly, this formation was also meant to break through oneself.

It was just that because of the Beast Communication Sigil, it was too easy for the Ye family's people to break through themselves.

Ye Jingcheng's Beast Communication Sigil connected to the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, drawing in a large amount of true essence.

And directly performed Spirit Possession, layer upon layer of earthy-yellow scales appeared on Ye Jingcheng's body.

The black-faced cultivator on the other side remained the same as before, with no look of surprise or fear on his face.

This made Ye Jingcheng feel somewhat relieved, and at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if the Ye family's Beast Tower was placed here for this reason.

After all, this assessment was really not difficult for the Ye family members.

After Spirit Possession, Ye Jingcheng quickly extinguished the other party. As the spiritual light disappeared, the appearance of Extreme Origin Mountain was fully revealed before his eyes.
