Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1439 A Century (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Before a crystal-clear pool on Qingqiu Sacred Mountain, the place is incredibly tranquil. The rich spiritual energy transforms into a misty aura that lingers in the air for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, a dragon-shaped shadow leaped into the pool.

Frost quickly began to condense on the lake surface, and in the next moment it turned into ice, freezing the entire pool and a distance of a thousand feet around it.

In the air, a phoenix silhouette gazed at the pool of water ahead.

Beside him stood a fox saint, who was also filled with emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Tian Nie is indeed incredibly insightful!" Qingqiu Fox Saint had previously harbored many doubts.

But at this moment, I can feel the bloodline and cultivation of the Jade Dragon up close, as well as its determination to break through to the sixth rank.

It was already utterly terrified.

It finally understood why the two old dragon saints of the Heavenly Dragon Sea were so attached to the Ye family.

They possess the ability and means to enhance their bloodline.

This Jade Dragon will surely reach the seventh rank or even higher in the future.

For them, as long as they are well-integrated with the Ye family, even if they don't break through to the seventh rank in the future, their clan will definitely be able to reach more than the sixth rank.

"I don't know much about the Ye family's origins either, but it seems we made the right bet." Tian Nie Feng Sheng didn't say much more.

In fact, after the Immortal Realm ended, Zhu Luan had already gone into seclusion at Tianni Sacred Mountain to break through her cultivation barrier.

However, for it, Zhu Luan's breakthrough was not as important as the breakthrough of the Jade Dragon in front of it.

"What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Qingqiu?" After a moment of silence, Tian Nie Feng Sheng finally spoke up.

This question startled the Qingqiu Fox Saint. It looked into the eyes of the Heavenly Phoenix Saint but remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until the frost in the distance had spread further and the setting sun on the horizon began to sink that it finally answered.

"I am old now. If it weren't for the fact that Minyue and Yu'er have not yet grown up and I am still worried about them, I would have already handed over power to my descendants. Therefore, if the Qingqiu Fox Clan has done anything wrong, I hope Fellow Daoist Tian Nie can help correct it. The Qingqiu Clan is also willing to follow the Tian Nie Phoenix Clan." The Qingqiu Fox Saint knew what the Tian Nie Phoenix Saint meant.

After all, they can still invest in the Ye family as cooperative allies and wait for the returns.

However, once Ye Jingcheng and Yu Linlong break through, the Ye family will surpass both of their clans.

They were even required to serve the Ye family as their master, just like the other spirit beast clans of the Ye family.

This is quite normal in the world of cultivation.

But the Fox Saint of Qingqiu did not want to do this, after all, he would lose his freedom.

But it also knew that Tian Nie Feng Sheng had said so much to it and repeatedly emphasized the future of the Ye family, probably with this in mind.

However, it was worried that something might go wrong, so it followed the decision of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. In its view, there was nothing to worry about.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan submitted, and so did the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

The former used the Ye family to ascend to the spirit realm, and the Qingqiu fox clan did the same.

This time, Tian Nie Feng Sheng didn't speak again. He just stared blankly at the lake surface that had turned into Xuan Han, until the night completely turned into silence.

……

In the desert, a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Tianfeng Oasis became even more prosperous and vast.

Beside Tianying Peak and Diying Peak, two more sacred mountains appeared.

One of the sacred mountains was the one that had been used for deliberations before.

The fourth sacred mountain is named Heavenly Realm Mountain by the Ye family. Dozens of strange star-topped palaces are situated on the mountain.

These star-top palaces, like staircases, are distributed throughout Mount Ling, and correspondingly, several formations cover the area around Mount Ling.

At this moment, a grand hall atop the mountain, accompanied by a radiant light, revealed a portal in the void.

If anyone else were here, they would discover that this is a secret place.

Within the secret realm, there was also endless yellow sand. On either side of the sand, two cultivators stood facing each other, their spiritual light shining brightly, but their auras were somewhat different, clearly indicating that they were engaged in a fierce battle.

One of them wore a thunder robe, crackling with lightning, like a celestial thunder immortal; the other wore a five-colored black robe, his sword aura was cold and sharp, with countless sword beams.

The former was holding a Thunder Spear, with six Thunder Spears floating behind him.

With a flick of his finger, the lightning spears shot forward, and before him, the Big Dipper light transformed into countless sword shadows.

As the sword shadows and lightning intertwined, they instantly transformed into terrifying spiritual light fluctuations.

"Teng Ming, you have lost!" When the spiritual light dissipated, the cultivator in the five-colored black robe had appeared behind the cultivator in the thunder robe at some point, with a three-foot-long transparent sword floating behind the thunder cultivator.

He was just inches away from piercing the latter's chest.

"Brother Teng Chuan truly deserves to be the number one Golden Core cultivator in my Ye family!" The lightning-robed cultivator put away his lightning spear and lightning gun, his eyes filled with admiration.

This cultivator in the thunder robe was none other than Ye Yunsheng's son, Ye Tengming.

He is now 181 years old, but he is already at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, only one step away from the late-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"My cultivation is slightly better than yours, and I'm much older. When you reach my age, I'll definitely be inferior to you," Ye Tengchuan replied with a smile.

As the duel ended, several people appeared around them.

This is the Ye family's fiftieth annual grand competition. Since the family has now transformed into a Nascent Soul family, the competition now also includes a competition between Golden Core cultivators.

And at this moment is the battle for first and second place in the Sand Sea Golden Core Battle.

"Moreover, I am not the number one Golden Core cultivator now..." Ye Tengchuan added.

As he spoke, he also looked out of the secret realm.

Ye Zhijian is breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage there, and if things go as expected, the breakthrough will happen in the next few years.

The opponent has broken through; he is now the first Golden Core cultivator.

Otherwise, the title of the number one Golden Core warrior would never fall to him.

Of course, this was enough to make him proud. You have to know that in the entire Ye family, although there are beast-patterned creatures, besides Ye Jingcheng, only he has reached his current level of cultivation by relying on five or four spiritual roots.

Teng Ming, who is standing before them, has a lightning spiritual root, while Ye Zhijian has a heavenly spiritual root, and both of them have strong beast-manipulation patterns.

“Tengming, your brother Tengchuan didn’t even use his sword intent and minor supernatural powers this time. He only used the Xuanfeng Spirit Step and the Water Flowing Silver Sword Technique, and you were defeated. You should learn more from him.” Unlike Ye Tengchuan’s apologetic tone, Ye Qingnian, who walked over from the side, was very serious.

Ye Qingnian broke through to the Nascent Soul stage forty years ago. His many years as the head of the family had made him extremely calm and composed, and his eyes involuntarily revealed his majesty.

Currently, the Ye family has twelve members who have reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The newly added Nascent Soul cultivators in the past century are Ye Qingyan, Ye Qingnian, Ye Yunxi, and Ye Yunxuan.

Of all those who had previously attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage during seclusion, only Ye Xuefan failed.

Of course, the reason for the failed breakthrough was not entirely due to the inner demon tribulation, but because Ye Xuefan had saved on treasures and spirit peaches during the breakthrough, resulting in a deficiency in qi and blood.

After all, he is already eight hundred years old, and only two hundred years away from the end of his Golden Core stage.

Adding to the inner demon tribulation, which was the crucial moment for him to shatter his core and condense his nascent soul, he ultimately failed to break through and his cultivation level even dropped to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
