Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1540 The Three Great Treasures (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Ye Jingcheng was taken aback by Zheng Yuan Shenjun's words.

He has cultivated immortality for over six hundred years and has been apprenticed to two masters, but he has never accepted a disciple.

In his heart, he actually regarded the Ye family members as his disciples.

Naturally, he never considered taking other cultivators as his disciples.

Even when Zhu Jing of the Zhu family wanted to become his disciple, he refused.

However, at this moment, he knew what Zheng Yuan Shenjun had said.

This is because the Divine Lord Zhengyuan wants to go to the Spirit Realm and entrust the righteous path to him.

If nothing unexpected happens, the disciple he takes on is not an ordinary cultivator, but rather the next Nascent Soul seed of the righteous sect.

Taking on disciples is merely a way to guarantee the cultivator's status and allow the entire righteous sect to support them in becoming the new Nascent Soul cultivator.

“What Master says is naturally correct.” Ye Jingcheng still did not refuse.

Just like when Ye Jingcheng wanted to fake his death, Zheng Yuan Shenjun directly arranged for Xue Qiang Zhenjun and Ye Jingyu to get married, thus preserving the foundation of the Central Region.

He had no reason to refuse today either.

"I wonder who that person is?" Although Ye Jingcheng was familiar with the Nascent Soul stage of the Righteous Path Sect, he couldn't find a cultivator who matched the description.

True Lord Xuhuai and True Lord Xingyuan are the ones Ye Jingcheng is most familiar with, but if they can be cultivated into Nascent Soul seeds, they will not need to become his disciples.

Moreover, he was also aware that each immortal sect actually hid some seeds of Nascent Soul.

“Zi Ning of the Dao Zi faction.” Zheng Yuan Divine Lord did not hide anything and spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised.

Ye Jingcheng was no stranger to Zi Ning. She was an alchemist from the Dao Zi sect. When Ye Jingcheng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, she had just broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and had even met her at the trade fair.

Of course, the latter is most famous for her stunningly beautiful face. She was once hailed as one of the three great fairies of the Central Region when she was in the Golden Core stage.

However, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they gradually faded into obscurity and were rarely known to outsiders, eventually being forgotten.

Ye Jingcheng never expected that the latter's talent would allow him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

“She possesses the Heavenly Smoke Spirit Body, making it twice as effective to cultivate water-attribute techniques. She is also the most talented cultivator in the righteous sect. If you hadn’t appeared, I would have taken her as my closed-door disciple.” Lord Zheng Yuan made no attempt to conceal anything.

Back then, Ye Jingcheng rose to fame so quickly that even Zheng Yuan Shenjun was extremely envious.

At that time, it was less about Ye Jingcheng becoming a disciple of Zheng Yuan Shenjun and more about Zheng Yuan Shenjun meticulously planning to take Ye Jingcheng as his apprentice.

"Jingcheng, I am also quite helpless about this matter. My lifespan is only a little over a thousand years. If I don't go to the Spirit Realm in time to find a longevity elixir, I'm afraid I will have no chance to advance any further in the future." Zheng Yuan Divine Lord sighed helplessly.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators have a lifespan of five thousand years, in the mortal realm, most people who break through to the Nascent Soul stage are only a little over a thousand years old, and some may even be close to two thousand years old.

If one spends another thousand years to become a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator, then only two thousand years remain. Due to insufficient spiritual energy in the mortal realm, it becomes very difficult to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

If they don't enter the Spirit Realm as soon as possible, even if their remaining lifespan is extended slightly, it will be difficult to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

Not to mention, one cannot engage in overly fierce battles in the mortal realm, otherwise it would consume a large amount of lifespan.

Ye Jingcheng is considered the youngest among those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, currently only a little over six hundred years old. However, in reality, the last battle also cost him several hundred years of lifespan, so if you really calculate it, he only has nearly four thousand years of lifespan left.

Only upon reaching the Spirit Realm, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, will one no longer need to fear the spiritual energy entering the body and diminishing one's lifespan. Of course, Ye Jingcheng also possesses the longevity peaches made of peach wood, so theoretically, he still has a considerable amount of lifespan remaining.

But for Ye Jingcheng, he also needed to consider Chu Yanqing, his descendants, and some elders.

Therefore, it is necessary to sneak into the spirit world as soon as possible.

“Jingcheng, I have three treasures here. Two of them are left over from the Upper Realm, and one was obtained from the Earthly Immortal Realm. You can choose one.” Zhengyuan Divine Lord took out three jade boxes.

These three jade boxes were clearly a gift from Zheng Yuan Shenjun to Ye Jingcheng.

All three treasures were covered with sixth-order spirit jade, which greatly piqued Ye Jingcheng's interest.

They didn't even say a few polite words.

As the three jade boxes were opened, Ye Jingcheng finally saw the three treasures.

One of them was a jade talisman, another was a token, and the third was a long spear with a spirit talisman attached.

"This is..." Ye Jingcheng originally thought he knew most of the treasures in the cultivation world, but at this moment, none of the three treasures were familiar to him.

"This jade talisman is called the Divine Power Talisman. It can absorb the full force of a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack, and even a Core Formation cultivator can activate it. It can be considered a sixth-tier foundation," said the Divine Lord Zheng Yuan slowly.

"This spear is a spirit treasure, similar to a spirit treasure, but it is made from a spirit treasure and has immense power. Of course, it also requires a long time to draw in true essence. Moreover, we have used this spirit treasure twice, and it should still have the power of one more use now."

"As for this final token, we obtained it from the Earthly Immortal Realm, and we have no idea where it came from." Zheng Yuan Divine Lord shook his head at this moment.

The token was entirely blue, with only a large character for "cross" on it, and no other words.

Even using true essence, it couldn't be activated at all; it seemed to be a magic weapon of at least the seventh rank.

But all they knew was that it was taken from a powerful sect no less powerful than the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace.

"Then this token will do." Ye Jingcheng nodded and accepted the token.

The remaining two treasures are actually more advantageous to him at present.

But he knew that both the Divine Lord Zheng Yuan and the Righteous Path Sect needed these two treasures.

After all, the former has to smuggle themselves across, while the righteous sects may not have a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee them in the future, thus becoming an uncrowned immortal sect.

Zheng Yuan Shenjun glanced at Ye Jingcheng, intending to speak again, but then seemed to remember the Ye family's background and shook his head.

The Ye family must have a powerful background to know so many spatial nodes, so it's normal that they don't want the spirit talisman and the supernatural talisman.

"Take this spirit wine as well. Seal it with the Spirit Eye Spring and special spirit jade. It will be good for entertaining the other Nascent Soul stage old ghosts later," Zheng Yuan Divine Lord continued.

After saying that, the two began to discuss the Zisha (purple clay) trade fair.

According to Zheng Yuan Shenjun, this Nascent Soul Assembly is held almost every five hundred years, and each time it takes place in a different realm.

Of course, even in nearly twenty mortal realms, there are hundreds of sixth-order Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, at each sixth-tier tournament, only a maximum of twenty or so people attended, and there were never any thirty.

The last time a sixth-tier trade fair was held was in the Heavenly Dust Realm, which is the mortal realm where the Heavenly Beast Sect is located.

The venue for this event is Zisha Cloud Island, a renowned location in the world of Zisha pottery.

This cloud island is no ordinary island; it is a real island that flies in the air!
