Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1440 The Effect of Aiming at the Sky (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the Heavenly Realm Mountain, as a spiritual light appeared, a portal opened in the void.

The Ye family group exited through the secret realm entrance and landed in the rear hall of the main hall.

The entire hall was decorated in an antique style, with sandalwood incense swirling around the octagonal table. This was the newly renovated secret hall of the Ye family.

As a newly built sacred mountain by the family, this mountain has as many as thirty-three secret realms, and naturally there are thirty-three secret realm halls.

Among them are one fifth-tier secret realm, three fourth-tier secret realms, eighteen second-tier secret realms, and eleven first-tier secret realms.

These secret realms were moved here by the Ye family using the Sky-Piercing Spirit Records they obtained from the Seeking Heaven Sect.

The Celestial Spirit Record can aim at certain objects within the secret realm.

The vessels used by the Ye family were these secret palaces, which were decorated with special array patterns and constructed using special spiritual materials.

The space before them for the competition was a fifth-order sand sea secret realm, with an extremely stable interior and a Xuan Yun Sand Gold Spirit Mine.

This gold mine produces some fourth-grade Xuanyun gold every ten years, making it a relatively important secret realm for the Ye family. In the past, to go to this secret realm, it was necessary to set up cultivators to guard it, and even set up formations and establish an oasis.

With the Sky-Piercing Spirit Record, the previous troubles were gone, and it was just right for the low-key Ye family. Even the secret realm of the top-grade spirit stone mine near the Tianli Grassland, which produced top-grade spirit stones, has now been moved to the Tianjing Mountain.

With the nourishment of some spiritual energy from the sixth-order spiritual vein, the mine can provide a top-grade spirit stone almost every two hundred years, and the secret realm has begun to evolve into a fifth-order secret realm.

Of course, the Ye family controls far more than these secret realms, but they are running out of spiritual materials to build the main halls of these secret realms, and the Ye family needs time to gather them.

Migration is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

The reason for holding the competition in the Sand Sea Secret Realm is twofold: firstly, the Ye family now has an increasing number of Golden Core cultivators, and they lack opportunities for competition and training.

This is not what the Ye family cultivators want to see, and training and fighting outside would easily expose them.

Therefore, the Ye family placed the Golden Core Competition in a secret realm.

This ensures that the cultivation levels of the Ye family's cultivators and some secret techniques are not leaked, while also providing the Ye family with a stable training ground.

After all, there are quite a few cultivators in the entire desert now, and even the Ma family already has a Golden Core cultivator.

The Ye family's three affiliated families are now all Golden Core families.

Furthermore, four new families have been added to the Purple Mansion affiliated families, not to mention the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining affiliated families.

Compared to when the Ye family first obtained the Sand Sea, after nearly 450 years of development, there are now 298 oases in the Sand Sea, and the number of cultivation families and sects has increased more than four or five times.

These forces are spread throughout the northern, eastern, and western parts of the desert, and cultivators occasionally come to the Tianfeng Oasis.

Moreover, even within the Ye family, due to the sheer number of cultivators, there are already fifty to sixty thousand bloodline members who haven't yet entered the inner hall.

There are also 60,000 to 70,000 members of the Ye family who are not of bloodline. As the number of cultivators increases, the risk of exposure also increases.

Before Ye Jingcheng makes a breakthrough, it's better to keep things under control and ensure the stability of the Ye family and Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough.

Therefore, of the thirty-three secret realms of the Ye family's Tianjing Mountain, nine are for training clan members and five are mineral vein secret realms used for combat.

These secret realms contain some untamed spirit beasts and spirit puppet formations for the clansmen to train in.

"The reward for this competition is a spirit beast for each of you. Take this token and go to Beast God Valley to choose!" Ye Qingnian took out two tokens, his face full of satisfaction.

With the Golden Elixir Competition over, it was time to award the prizes.

Those who rank in the top five of the Golden Core stage, the top twenty of the Purple Mansion stage, the top eighty of the Foundation Establishment stage, and the top two hundred of the Qi Refining stage all have the opportunity to choose a spirit beast from the Ye family.

The only difference is that they chose a different Beast Valley.

Those with exceptional talent, such as top-tier Golden Core cultivators and members of their clan, naturally choose the Beast God Valley. The rewards for the Purple Mansion Grand Competition include magical treasures, elixirs, and spirit beasts from the five major beast valleys.

The Ye family's five new beast valleys are now Dragon Valley of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, Peng Valley of the Three-Eyed Demon Peng, Thunder Valley of the Thunder Peng, Black Crow Valley of the Black Crow, and Turtle Valley of the Great Azure Turtle.

The reason for the division into these five grains is that the five clans of the Ye family now all have fifth-order demon emperors.

Dragon Valley needs no introduction; it houses the Earth Dragon Demon King and five or six Golden Lizard Demon Kings.

Black Crow already has two demon emperors. In addition to the original Black Crow demon emperor, Ye Qingfeng's Black Crow has also awakened part of the Taiyin Ancient Crow bloodline and broke through to the fifth rank thirty years ago.

In Turtle Valley, the Tai Cang Turtle is already at the fifth level. Although the Water Spike Turtle Tai Cang Turtle clan inside is slightly weaker, one of them has already begun to sprout a cave heaven.

Therefore, the spirit beasts of Turtle Valley are highly valued by the Ye family.

And the Peng Valley of the Three-Eyed Demon Peng and the Lei Valley of the Thunder Peng.

The former, after returning from the Immortal Realm, saw the Three-Eyed Roc and the Rhinoceros Deer Demon King each obtain a Celestial Beast Nascent Soul Pill and successfully break through to the next level.

Lei Peng didn't reach the fifth rank in the Sand Sea, but Ye Jinghu's Peng was the first to break through to the fifth rank, so Peng Valley became one of the five major beast valleys of the Ye family.

Following the five major beast valleys are the newly established Wood Demon Valley, Soul Extinction Insect Valley, Earth Scale Lion Valley, and Rock Python Mammoth Valley, all top-tier beast valleys created by the Ye family.

And after that, it's the ordinary beast valley.

The rewards for the competition correspond to this.

Of course, unlike the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion stages, the rewards for the Golden Core competition were also prepared by the Ye family long ago. Among them, Ye Tengming was a mutated Thunder Flood Dragon, which was considered the best Thunder-attribute spirit beast dragon pet, while Ye Tengchuan was a descendant of the three-headed snake that the Ye family brought back from the Central Region.

These three snakes were already somewhat similar to the nine-headed demon saint that Ye Yunfeng of the Ye family had seen, and the spirit egg that had just been born a few years ago had an even closer aura. Moreover, even before it had hatched, it had already shown four attributes.

There is a high possibility that a fifth or even a sixth one will emerge in the future, so Ye Tengchuan is the most suitable candidate for the Ye family.

If two people were to trade for these two spirit beast cubs, it would require a considerable amount of family contribution points.

Although the Ye family is bound by the blockade between the Central Region and the Star Sea, they still secretly exchange resources every twenty years.

However, in the Central Region, the Ye family members are now all concentrated in the Righteous Path Sect.

In particular, Ye Yunfeng and Ye Tengjia have both become the heads of the Righteous Path Sect.

This is precisely why the Ye family of Nanyun Prefecture, although not developing very smoothly, has maintained a stable level.

Once outside the main hall of the secret realm, everyone could see the distant sacred mountain, constantly radiating brilliant spiritual light, and tribulation clouds appearing on the horizon.

"Another person has broken through to the Golden Core stage." Ye Qingnian, who was standing next to him, was also full of joy.

Because the Ye family implemented a battle formation plan, they needed a large number of Golden Core cultivators. Therefore, they used the Demon King's Spirit Beast Bag extensively to help their clansmen break through to the next level through inheritance.

These years have been a time of explosive growth for Golden Core cultivators.

However, even though the Ye family has many Condensing Gold Fruit Trees, as well as the Spirit Nourishing and Heaven-Mending Array and the Blood Spring, the Condensing Gold Fruits and Condensing Gold Pills are still somewhat insufficient.

After witnessing his clansmen's breakthrough in the distance, Ye Qingnian couldn't help but look towards the highest point of Tianying Peak.

That was where his father went into seclusion.

Nowadays, the Golden Core cultivators of the Ye family already have experience in undergoing tribulations, especially those who achieved rapid cultivation. They are practicing the five cultivation methods inherited from the Ye family's spiritual realm, and their tribulations are largely similar.

With the tribulation-crossing formation and corresponding magic treasures, the chance of failing to break through is only slightly more than 10%.

But his father has been silent for a full hundred years!
