Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1597 Reunion of the Demon Saints: One and Two Separated (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Taiyuan Realm, Azure Spirit Abyss.

The surging seawater rushed forward with a thunderous roar.

Strangely, the seawater here is turquoise, just like the water in a lake deep in the mountains.

As a white light descended upon the island, a dozen or so cultivators appeared on the island in the next instant.

These cultivators all held magical weapons and assumed a fighting stance. In particular, one of them suddenly grew to be over ten feet tall, becoming a giant covered in corpse hair.

The leader was dressed in white robes, with a cold and stern appearance, and held a sacred tower and an inkstone in his hand.

These people were the cultivators who were attacking the Mu family, and the leader of them was Ye Jingcheng.

"Everyone, this is the Azure Abyss, one of the nine great spiritual abysses of the Taiyuan Realm. Adjacent to it is the Six Paths Sect, one of the six great Nascent Soul forces. Although the Six Paths Sect belongs to the Demonic Sect, its patriarch went into seclusion half a year ago. And this place under our feet is Azure Sky Island, the territory of the Kongming Demon Saint." Ye Jingcheng slowly spoke.

From the Great Yu Realm to the Taiyuan Realm, the Central Region is naturally the closest to the Cloud Sea Spirit Abyss where the Qingyuan Sect is located.

But since the Qingyuan Sect was killed by the Mu family, it goes without saying that the Boundary Gate would definitely try to obstruct them.

There's even a possibility that what awaits us beyond the boundary gate is a self-destruct formation.

This Azure Abyss Gate connects to the Heavenly Huan Realm, which is the realm where the Divine Medicine Lord and the Divine Medicine Sect are located.

There were no cultivators from the Tianheng Realm in this alliance.

Prior to this, the Mu family and the Divine Medicine Sect had a fairly close relationship regarding spiritual herbs.

This is also why, although the Divine Medicine Sect is on good terms with the Ye family, they are unwilling to come.

Even though I helped the Ye family last time.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's choice is absolutely certain. It seems that the Mu family of the Demonic Sect will surely be annihilated this time, and the Ten Realms will be rid of a great scourge." Divine Lord Miaoyuan couldn't help but boast.

The others, at this point, did not hold back their boasting.

"It's because your power is too great, and the Mu family can't defend against it!" Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't take credit for it.

He also knew that the boasts of those forces were actually based on the fact that the Ye family could now field five or six Nascent Soul cultivators.

The next moment, Ye Jingcheng pointed his hand, and Ye Haifei appeared in front of him.

"Uncle Haifei, I hope you can help me find the Kongming Demon Saint," Ye Jingcheng then said.

The others were puzzled for a moment, but the next moment, Ye Haifei took out a blood leech and held it out in his hand.

Although this blood leech was small, it was a genuine fifth-order demon emperor.

This surprised both Miaoyuan Divine Lord and Feishi Divine Lord.

Normal blood leeches are at most level two.

What's before us is not only a fifth-tier being, but also has special spirit patterns etched on its skin.

It also seems to carry extraordinary bloodline.

The two wanted to ask questions, but at that moment, Ye Jingcheng took the initiative.

He flew off in one direction, and the rest of the people followed closely behind.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this direction isn't towards the Mu Family's Heavenly Wood City, is it?"

“No, before dealing with the Mu family, we always need to deal with the demon saint of the Taiyuan Realm!” Ye Jingcheng then said.

Because the nine spiritual abysses in the Taiyuan Realm are connected, the demon saints are much more united than those in the Dayu Realm.

The last time the Ye family discovered a sixth-order spirit-attracting stone in the Cloud Sea Spirit Abyss, it was because a demon emperor was about to break through, and several demon saints and the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiyuan Realm fought fiercely.

According to his investigation, there are a total of six demon saints in the Taiyuan Realm.

They are respectively the Kongming Demon Saint of the Azure Abyss, the Nine-Headed Demon Saint of the Mysterious Color Abyss, the Cloud Crane Demon Saint of the Cloud Sea Abyss, the Angry Shark Demon Saint of the Black Shark Abyss, the Sword Whale Demon Saint of the Golden Sea Abyss, and the Purple Dragon Demon Saint of the Purple Light Abyss.

"Won't this give the Mu family a chance to leave..." Haoran Shenjun, who was standing to the side, became slightly worried.

At this moment, there are not many Nascent Soul cultivators left in the Great Yu Realm, and he is also afraid that his own spiritual mountain will be destroyed by the Mu family.

In his view, the best course of action was to head to Tianmu City as soon as possible and surround and kill the Mu family.

"Everyone, with so many of us at the Nascent Soul stage, if the Mu family dares to leave Tianmu City and let us destroy their Heavenly Palace, they will be doomed." Ye Jingcheng said, seemingly unconcerned.

He had already told them in advance to hide the core disciples of the family and activated the sixth-order magic array, all for this moment.

Moreover, the Mu family already knew about their appearance in Sanyuan City.

Slow or fast is no longer important.

If the Mu family is unwilling to confront them head-on, there's no point in them rushing over now.

But if the Mu family is willing to confront them head-on, it doesn't matter if it's a little later.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng knew that Mu Huayuan valued the Tianmu Node beneath the Mu family's Tianmu City the most.

This spatial node connects to the outermost edge of the Tianxuan Spirit Realm in the Spirit World, making it the node most likely to escape the Jade Soul Clan's attack.

Having obtained the Xuan Tian spiritual artifact, Mu Huayuan is probably already considering returning to the Spirit Realm.

He had only fought a great battle with Yuanming Shenjun of Jinguang Temple and suffered serious injuries, which is why he was recuperating in Tianmu City.

Ye Jingcheng was so eager for this reason.

This siege of Tianmu City has two objectives: first, to kill Mu Huayuan of the Mu family; and if that fails, at the very least, to break the spatial node.

Once the spatial node is destroyed, Mu Huayuan's biggest trump card will be gone.

He could also be ambushed and killed by the Jade Soul Clan if he were to ascend to the Spirit Realm by sneak.

As for the spatial nodes through the Heavenly Valley.

That would be even more difficult. There is only one Xuan Tian spiritual object, and they are clearly two forces from the spirit world. Mu Huayuan would never be so magnanimous.

After traversing a thousand miles, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators arrived at a massive Black Miasma Island.

As the miasma dissipated, two figures were already waiting on the island.

The leader was not tall, only about four feet tall, and his entire body was suspended in mid-air so that he could stand side by side with the person next to him.

There were also six white lines on his face.

The person next to him had red hair and wings that were faintly visible.

"Fellow Daoist Kongming, Fellow Daoist Yunhe, I have long admired your names!" Ye Jingcheng was the first to step forward, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen's name is renowned throughout the entire Ten Yuan Realm, and with everyone's formidable combat power, no one in the entire Ten Yuan Realm can stop you!" It was the Kongming Demon Saint who spoke.

Its true form is the Kongming Frost Centipede, which advanced to the sixth rank from a spirit insect to become a demon saint. Its strength is extremely terrifying, and it also carries a deadly poison.

"Fellow Daoist Kongming, you are mistaken. I would not have dared to start a battle of Nascent Souls unless I was forced to. But the Mu family has already destroyed the Ouyang family of my Great Yu Realm, the Qingyuan Sect of the Taiyuan Realm, and the Jin Guang Temple. They even intend to destroy my Ye family. If the likes of the Fengtian Sect are not punished and stopped, then it will be truly a time of great suffering and destruction." Ye Jingcheng said with resentment.

If we delve deeper into the history of the Mu family, the number of forces they have destroyed over the years is definitely more than what Ye Jingcheng mentioned.

That's why so many people responded.

The reason no one had participated before was simply because they were wary of the Mu family's power.

The pressure from someone in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm is still very strong.

"Fellow Daoist Kongming probably can't summon all six Demon Saints!" Just then, Ye Jingcheng spoke up again.

Upon hearing this, the expression on the face of the Kongming Demon Saint became noticeably gloomy.

"Even the Mu family came looking for two fellow Daoists?"

“We will certainly not collude with the Mu family!” This time, it was Yunhe Demon Saint who spoke up.

Back then, when the Cloud Crane Clan's Demon Emperor broke through, it was the Mu Family, in conjunction with the Azure Abyss Sect, that prevented it. How could it possibly be willing to help the Mu Family?

Although the Kongming Demon Saint had no descendants, he died at the hands of the Mu family.

However, the Kongming Demon Saint himself was almost captured by the Mu family patriarch.

“Alright, we agree. Currently, we have two fellow Daoists, Furious Shark and Sword Whale, who can join us. However, we can also lend a hand. After you destroy the Mu family, you can plunder the territory and spiritual objects of the Mu family and other human beings, but you cannot take over the Taiyuan Realm. Otherwise, today’s matter will be over, and we will join the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance.” Kongming Demon Saint had obviously thought about it beforehand, and after speaking, he waited patiently.

They didn't invite the gods to the island; they just watched from afar.

"I have no objection." Ye Jingcheng nodded. He didn't have any particular thoughts about the Taiyuan Realm.

In the future, the Ye family will mainly reside in the Spirit Realm. They don't really have much interest in the Taiyuan Realm.

Moreover, the Ye family possesses the Spirit-Seeking Secret Technique, allowing them to bring any secret realm back to the Great Yu Realm. Whether they occupy it or not makes little difference.

"We have no objections either!" As Ye Jingcheng spoke, Zheng Yuan Shenjun, Zi Yang Shenjun, and Po Tian Shenjun all expressed their opinions.

Of the other Nascent Soul realm forces in the Great Yu Realm, only the Golden Light Temple and the Hundred Skill Valley are capable of expanding outwards.

However, last time in the Western Regions, Yuanming Divine Lord's physical body was destroyed, and Baiqiao Divine Lord's Cangkun Demon Saint was seriously injured, so they were also unable to expand outwards.

It would be good enough if they could plunder some medicinal resources.

“We have no objections either.” Miao Yuan Divine Lord and Flying Corpse Divine Lord nodded in agreement.

The Mu family, after all, is a force from the spirit realm, so they must have some trump cards. They would be willing to have more allies.

In the end, all the Nascent Soul cultivators agreed and made a vow of their primordial spirit.

Once the oath was made, the Demon Saint of Kongming nodded, clearly relieved.

The two demon saints have sided with the Mu family, which makes them extremely worried. Now, they not only want to eliminate the Mu family, but also the two demon saints who have sided with the Mu family.

"There's a teleportation array here that will take you to the Golden Sea Spirit Abyss, which is closest to the Mysterious Rainbow Spirit Abyss and also closest to the Mu family!" Kongming Demon Saint then suggested.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng's family token seemed to respond.

"The Mu family has already arranged for some troublemakers, but they are only Nascent Soul cultivators, so everyone can rest assured!" Ye Jingcheng then said.

The others also received some messages, but they too found that it was Nascent Soul cultivators causing trouble.

However, Potian Divine Lord and Haoran Divine Lord, among others, still had some concerns.

After all, the Nascent Soul cultivator might be testing them.

Little did they know that beneath the Mu family's Tianmu City lay a crucial spatial node.

The group of cultivators and demon saints quickly appeared on an island in the Golden Sea Spirit Abyss via a teleportation array.

The remaining Sword Whale Demon Saint and Angry Shark Demon Saint were also waiting here.

“We can’t set up teleportation arrays anymore, it’s not safe to do so now.” Ye Jingcheng spoke at this moment, looking at Ziyang Divine Lord.

They wanted the other party to release a sixth-tier spirit boat.

But then, the Divine Lord Miaoyuan suddenly took out an array plate.

"No need to rush. We might be ambushed along the way. I have a directional teleportation array here that can teleport us to the vicinity of Tianmu City!" Miaoyuan Divine Lord said as he began to make arrangements.

This teleportation array also greatly surprised everyone else.

Even Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised.

Such a teleportation array only requires one-way deployment, which is far too mysterious.

"This was obtained from the Earthly Immortal Realm." Miao Yuan Divine Lord seemed to sense the subtle expressions on everyone's faces, so he added again.

Once the formation was complete, it outlined the shape of a giant floating island in the air.

"Let's go into battle!" said Divine Lord Miaoyuan, and took the lead.

Flying Corpse God followed closely behind. Ye Jingcheng and the others hesitated for a moment before nodding and entering the formation.

The array's spiritual light flickered.

Everyone felt dizzy and disoriented. Then they saw a terrifying giant mountain piercing the clouds and standing at the edge of the sky in the distance.

Through the cultivator's eyesight, one could vaguely see a giant city atop the mountain.

The area surrounding the giant city was strangely separated by a spiritual thread.

This created two completely different scenes, one in black and one in white.

"That's the One-to-Two Separation Grand Formation. The attacking cultivators will be separated into two realms. The opposing cultivators can freely enter and exit either side, adjust the combat power on both sides, and even change certain attack methods." This time, it was Flying Corpse God-King who spoke.

There was still a hint of helplessness in his eyes at that moment.

This means that their fighting force will be split in two.

They might even be picked off one by one by the opponent.

"Everyone, if we are targeted individually, the other side will definitely go all out!" Flying Corpse God Lord added.

Upon hearing these words, many Nascent Soul cultivators felt a sense of fear.

After all, no one dares to guarantee that they can defeat any of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Mu family.

If the other side arranges for the remaining people to hold them off, and then the Mu family patriarch targets them individually, then someone might die.

"Can this formation be broken from the outside?" This time, it was one of the three Nascent Soul cultivators who had secretly formed an alliance who spoke up.

"This formation shouldn't be able to withstand the combined full power of so many Nascent Soul cultivators!" Even the Demon Saint of the Netherworld hesitated.

Although it is not weak in combat, it still faces a considerable risk of destruction if targeted by this formation.

They came as a matter of course, not because they were truly fighting a desperate battle.

"This Transformation Formation only reveals the visible range of the formation; there is also a hidden range. Unless you can break the formation in one go, you might enter the formation itself while trying to break it!"

"Moreover, those who have methods to break the formation will definitely be targeted!" Flying Corpse God Lord continued.

He hadn't expected that the other party would actually set up the "One and Two Separation Array," a formation that was quite famous even in the Spirit Realm.

"Does anyone have a sixth-order formation-breaking talisman?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

“I have one, but it might not work if we follow what Flying Corpse God Lord said.” It was Hundred Skills God Lord who spoke at this moment.

Besides that, no one else brought it out.

This sixth-order formation-breaking talisman is almost impossible for anyone to refine; it can only be obtained from the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Of course, it's possible that some people are hiding their true abilities, and Ye Jingcheng wouldn't want anyone to make a vow of their primordial spirit.

After all, some people are already planning to withdraw.

The disadvantages of multiple alliances have already become apparent.

"One should be enough, give it to me!" Ye Jingcheng looked at Baiqiao Shenjun.

"As for the other fifth-tier formation-breaking talismans, if any of you have them, give them to me as much as you can," Ye Jingcheng said again.

There were quite a few more fifth-tier formation-breaking talismans, and in the end, more than sixty of them were collected.

Some people even asked Ye Jingcheng if he wanted a fourth-tier formation-breaking talisman.

He used the fifth-tier array-breaking talisman to reveal the array base and then let the peach wood participate in breaking the array, not to break the array by sheer quantity.

The fourth-tier formation-breaking talisman couldn't even budge the formation in the slightest, so Ye Jingcheng naturally shook his head and refused.
