Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1552 The Art of Concealment and the Bloodstained Curse (Part 2, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Then smuggling might take place in dangerous areas." Lord Yunsha clearly knew more.

As a sect that has survived for tens of thousands of years, even if it has lost access to information about the spirit world, it still possesses a considerable number of scriptures about the spirit world.

As one of the leaders of the Zisha Sect, Yunsha Divine Lord also knew that the entire Spirit Realm, in terms of size, was probably larger than several thousand Zisha Realms.

Human cultivators only occupy a small portion of the territory in the spirit realm.

The rest of the territory belonged to various alien races, including many true spirit races.

If the location for smuggling is fixed, just like the ascension platform.

This means that the Nascent Soul cultivators who smuggled themselves out of the country probably also entered the territory of the alien race.

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators began to discuss amongst themselves again, some even showing a hint of despair in their eyes...

Even though they have all cultivated for thousands of years and become the pinnacle of the mortal realm, in the spirit realm, they are just like the Purple Mansion cultivators in the mortal realm—not exactly rare, but not exceptionally so either.

If given a choice, many cultivators would not want to ascend.

But because of lifespan and the Dao, they had no choice at all.

Unless they are willing to let thousands of years of effort turn into a handful of dust.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Lianming, Brother Guo must be quite skilled in the art of concealment!" Lianming Divine Lord's master is none other than Guo Yun Divine Lord of the Guo family.

He was also the only cultivator who successfully smuggled himself across the border.

“What Fellow Daoist Yunsha said is indeed true. Our Guo family has also considered that the region corresponding to us in the Spirit Realm may have become a foreign race that hates our human race!”

"So, to ascend to the Spirit Realm, one must not only guard against smuggling across the void, but also against being hunted down by alien races. In addition, one may also have to evade the divine sense of Void Refinement cultivators..." Lord Lianming originally wanted to hide his thoughts, but at this moment, he still spoke up.

They lack the means to transmit sound across boundaries, therefore he is currently unaware of his master's situation.

He will definitely try to sneak into the mortal realm in the future.

Therefore, he also thought of leaking the information to see how other people were trying to smuggle themselves out.

If that is indeed the case, then he will certainly make targeted preparations.

These words caused an even greater uproar.

Even Zheng Yuan Shenjun, who originally felt victory was assured, is now becoming somewhat nervous.

He had even mentally postponed the time for his illegal immigration by over a hundred years.

At the same time, he was also pondering which lineage in the Immortal Realm might contain hidden spiritual treasures or ancient artifacts.

After all, the Immortal Realm will reopen in 160 years.

At this moment, the only ones who weren't surprised were Ye Jingcheng and the forces from the spirit world that were hunting down the Ye family.

For some reason, much of the mist on the pavilion had dissipated.

Ye Jingcheng also saw that many pavilions were completely empty, obviously because either the demon saints or some Nascent Soul cultivators had left with their treasures.

The magic circle on the copper plate was never locked, so you could leave at any time.

The old ancestor of Luya who had previously exchanged treasures with Ye Jingcheng and the cultivator with the sixth-order dragon essence blood have all disappeared.

But there are still more than forty people left here.

These forty-odd people were either confident in their own safety or didn't possess any valuables that would arouse their fear.

There is no need to conceal it with fog anymore.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng pretended to be unaware, but secretly observed the expressions of the others.

In his view, cultivators as calm as he were more likely to know the reasons for the changes in the spirit world.

More likely, they are forces that came to the mortal realm to investigate the Beast Tower.

To his disappointment, he couldn't see anything amiss.

It's possible that those ill-intentioned cultivators had already left with Ancestor Luya, or it's possible that those Nascent Soul cultivators had such exceptional acting skills that he couldn't tell at all.

You should know that these Nascent Soul cultivators are almost all ancient monsters who are thousands of years old.

Everyone has their own little thoughts.

The younger ones are waiting for the older Nascent Soul cultivators to go and explore the way.

Discover the secrets to survival and identify key points in the smuggling route.

The older ones also wanted to find some young, inexperienced people to explore the path.

It is conceivable that treasures related to the Fengtian Sect will be in high demand in the future. Treasures that break through restrictions, break through space, and even those that conceal or prolong life will be favored by most Nascent Soul cultivators.

Its value will continue to rise.

Of course, this is a good thing for Ye Jingcheng, as it means that his Longevity Peach will be able to exchange for more treasures in the future, and the value of those treasures will be higher.

"Alright, everyone, I suggest that the next Nascent Soul Trade Fair need not be five hundred years long. After all, if the affairs of the Spirit Realm cannot be determined in a single day, then all of us who have cultivated for thousands of years are just a joke!"

"In my opinion, we should use the interval between the opening of the Earthly Immortal Realm as the basis for agreeing on the Nascent Soul Assembly."

"The next Nascent Soul Assembly will be held in three hundred years. Fellow Daoists who wish to organize one can make the first proposal, and the top immortal sects of the Ten Realms and the Eleven Mysterious Realms will judge it!" Lord Yunsha continued.

Everyone nodded.

Indeed, five hundred years is a normal time in normal times, but this is not an ordinary period.

If the issues of the spirit world are not clarified, no one can ascend to heaven peacefully.

Over the next three hundred years, some people will inevitably be tempted to smuggle themselves across the border.

Three hundred years later, people will be able to receive some more information.

“If no other sects recommend themselves, the Mu family of Taiyuan Realm will host the next event.” Lord Yunsha looked at a pavilion.

There were no Nascent Soul cultivators there, only a Nascent Soul peak cultivator wearing a Mu family Taoist robe.

He nodded, indicating that he would report to the Mu family's patriarch.

Of course, a smile that was hard to hide was also on his face.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lord Yunsha held a Nascent Soul trading fair and seemed to have wasted a lot of spirit stones here, after all, he took out so many fifth-tier spirit fruits and spirit wine.

But in reality, because all the Nascent Soul cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators have appeared on Zisha Cloud Island, the Zisha Sect can gain huge benefits for every day that is delayed.

The fifth-tier auctions have been going on non-stop for the past two weeks.

It should be noted that the treasures in these auctions were not only taken from Zisha Cloud Island, but also from other forces. Even Ye Qingnian has sold quite a few treasures in these fifth-tier auctions.

Each treasure can be extracted by drawing one-tenth of its value from spirit stones.

In addition, there's the 10% commission earned from exchanging treasures at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core trading fairs.

The profits from this God Transformation Trading Fair are beyond imagination.

Of course, the Nascent Soul Transformation Trade Fair has a specific order, so even if Ye Jingcheng didn't want the Mu family to hold this trade fair, there was nothing he could do.

Unless he demonstrates strength far exceeding that of the Mu family and forces them to relinquish the deal.

But that would be incredibly difficult, and the Ye family didn't believe the Mu family didn't have special methods.

It's likely that the Mu family is holding back because they haven't yet found the location of the Beast Tower.

The trade fair came to a complete end at this moment, and the lights inside the pavilion lit up one after another, while the mist dissipated completely.

One by one, cultivators appeared in various places on Cloud Sand Island.

Many even left directly through the teleportation array on Zisha Cloud Island. Ye Jingcheng, however, did not leave immediately.

He also plans to participate in another Tier 6 auction.

Because the auction was conducted using spirit stones, although it was called a sixth-tier auction, there were only six sixth-tier treasures, and most of them were taken out by the Purple Sand Sect.

One of the items contained a map depicting the sealing of heaven.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't particularly interested in the Fengtian Diagram, not because he wasn't interested in the Fengtian Sect's legacy.

Since the Heaven-Sealing Diagram has been taken out and put up for sale, it is unlikely that it will be easy to find its inheritance. At the moment, the Ye family is preoccupied with the affairs of the Mu family's Heavenly Beast Sect and cannot spare any resources.

He stayed for the auction because he also wanted to collect some medicinal herbs.

The Ye family possesses the Spirit Cultivation and Heaven-Mending Array, as well as the Spring Spirit, which can enhance the age of spiritual herbs.

Even the spiritual liquid newly cultivated by the Ye family can shorten the time it takes for spiritual fruits to bear fruit.

Therefore, the Ye family has a much better selection of spiritual herbs than other forces, and can offer higher prices.

After all, other forces also need to consider the age of the medicinal herbs when refining pills, otherwise they would need to cultivate them in the family or sect's medicinal herb garden for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Jingcheng, we have some old friends who have formed a small gathering. Would you like to join us?" Just as Ye Jingcheng was about to teleport out through the copper plate formation, Zheng Yuan Shenjun spoke up.

“Since Master is interested, this disciple will naturally participate.” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

The venue wasn't anywhere else, but rather a restaurant belonging to the Zisha School.

This restaurant is somewhat similar to the Ye family's Tianchen Restaurant; opening the door to a room reveals a unique, secret space.

The environment of the secret space is extremely elegant, with bamboo forests, pavilions, and stone tables.

It's just like an ordinary little pavilion in the mountains.

However, if one senses it carefully, one can discover that the concentration of spiritual energy within this secret space is no less than that of the spiritual veins of some top-tier Nascent Soul sects.

Besides Ye Jingcheng, the True Primordial God Lord, the arriving Divine Transformation Realm members also included Ziyang God Lord and Potian God Lord.

The remaining five Nascent Soul cultivators were all from other realms.

Two of them are from Taiyuan Realm, and three are from Changyuan Realm.

However, the following content was a bit boring. After that round of exchanges, there were almost no treasures left to exchange or exchange for.

Even though Ye Jingcheng took out another spiritual treasure, he still couldn't get the spiritual medicine he wanted in return.

This small meeting was merely to confirm a small alliance relationship for sharing information.

What they were sharing was information about illegal immigration.

If it weren't for the concern about revealing information about the Ye family, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't have shown any interest whatsoever.

The only thing that interested him was that this alliance could call for help in times of danger.

Once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it can take almost a thousand or even several thousand years for any force to produce a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Instead of cultivating deities, it would be better to have them form an alliance.

Penglai and Xuantian also had an alliance, but the Ye family acted too quickly. By the time the alliance received the news, Penglai had already been destroyed.

The Ye family is likely to face targeting from the Mu family, so this alliance is still effective.

"Gentlemen, it's settled then. See you again in forty years." Ziyang Divine Lord was the strongest among them. After confirming the alliance, he waved his hand, indicating that the brief meeting had come to a temporary end.

The forty-year agreement also marked the day of Ye Jingcheng's deification ceremony.

As members of the alliance, they naturally came to offer their congratulations.

……

At this moment, on Boundless Island, inside a hidden palace.

Several cultivators dressed in mysterious spirit-transferring robes were already waiting, and then a cultivator dressed in black robes walked in.

Everyone looked over.

The black-robed cultivator pulled down the brim of his hat, revealing a somewhat weathered face. He was none other than Lord Luya, who had just participated in the Nascent Soul Trade Fair.

Although Lord Luya was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, he still looked at the other Nascent Soul cultivators and Demon Saints with some concern.

"My problem is, I didn't expect him to take out the essence blood of a sixth-order Frost Dragon." Lord Deer Cliff took out a storage bag.

"It's alright, I expected this long ago. Even if we don't get Ye Jingcheng to come and refine pills, we have obtained the essence blood of his Jade Dragon. Once I cast the Blood Burning Curse, he will automatically come looking for us!" It was the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Mu family who spoke.

He was also the planner of this project.

He naturally guessed that Ye Jingcheng wouldn't dare to come.

Therefore, he was prepared.

This Blood Burning Curse is a secret technique they brought down from the Spirit Realm. Even if the opponent has a true spirit bloodline, it's fine as long as they don't exceed the seventh level.

Therefore, when he gave the instructions, he also instructed Deer Cliff God to deliberately not emphasize the essence blood of the Rock Dragon.

After all, it's impossible to make a flawless plan to fool Nascent Soul cultivators.

That would be the biggest weakness for a Nascent Soul cultivator who is full of strategy.

"Why didn't you tell us about this?" At this moment, both Deer Cliff God and Cold Sea Demon Saint were somewhat dissatisfied.

"The fewer people who know, the better." Mu Jia, a Nascent Soul cultivator, accepted the jade bottle.

Just as he was about to begin, the Frost Demon Saint stopped him repeatedly.

"Gentlemen, we've been tricked! This is my essence blood!" The Cold Nether Demon Saint's face was as gloomy as a black dragon.

I wish I could disappear into a crack in the ground.

It didn't expect that what Ye Jingcheng offered in exchange was not the essence of the jade dragon, but its own essence.

It remembered that it had only lost its essence once, and that was when it suffered at the hands of Tianni Phoenix Saint and Qingqiu Fox Saint.

It didn't expect that Yu Linlong and Ye Jingcheng hadn't used it yet.

He was almost hit by the Blood Burning Curse from the Mu family's Nascent Soul stage.

"Hanming, you didn't break through in these past few years, did you?" The face of the Mu family's Nascent Soul cultivator also darkened.

Looking at it this way, their plan not only failed, but also successfully sent Ye Jingcheng a lot of treasures.

"You should have communicated this plan with us beforehand." Although the Frostfire Demon Saint knew it was wrong, it was unwilling to have others pointing fingers at it.

You should know that the reason it's here, cooperating with these humans, is simply because it wants to obtain the Ye family's spiritual treasure.

Moreover, the demon race currently has five demon saints, which is more than the number of human gods.

"Hmph, I never expected that the mighty Cold Flood Dragon Demon Saint couldn't even protect his essence blood!" The Mu family's Nascent Soul stage cultivator snorted coldly again.

But now that things have come to this, they have no other choice.

"This plan has failed, but we have also obtained a lot of useful information. Ye Jingcheng has a son and a daughter, as well as a great-grandson whom he values ​​highly. If we can capture these people, we still have the possibility of setting up a trap."

"If any further problems arise, then let's all go our separate ways," Mu Family's Nascent Soul cultivator continued.

Then he looked at Ancestor Luya.

"Lord Yunsha must be suspicious of you now. Why don't we head to the Taiyuan Realm immediately? The Qingyuan Sect's gate is still vacant..."
