Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1609 All Demons Arrive at Chenshan Abyss Turtle (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

In the Taiyuan Realm, there is the Lingmu Mountain Range. This mountain range is located in the central part of the Taiyuan Realm. The mountain range is winding and spiraling, and its area is even more extensive than that of the Taihang Mountains.

As the fog rises, the rolling sea of ​​fog drifts eastward.

But countless mountains and rivers can only be seen at their waists, like countless sharp knives piercing the clouds.

Before the mountains and rivers, a massive spirit ship was also rapidly approaching this place.

At the head of the spirit boat were Ye Yunxuan, Ye Haihe, Ye Tengchuan, and Ye Qingyan. Facing the strong wind, they were full of high spirits at this moment!

Following the four were Zhu Luan and other demon emperors, as well as many members of the Ye family.

"This Spiritwood Ridge is where the Mu family raises spirit beasts. It is said that there are ten demon emperors there. I wonder if any of these demon emperors have escaped!" It was Ye Yunxuan who spoke.

He was also somewhat excited at this moment, after all, the Ye family had destroyed the Mu family and was now worthy of being called the number one immortal cultivation family in the mortal realm.

But there is also a considerable sense of urgency.

Ye Xuecang, one of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ye family, went to the Eleventh Mystic Realm.

Ye Qingnian guarded the border of Dayu.

Most of the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ye family were assigned to the Taiyuan Realm.

They had learned through the family token that Ye Qingfeng, Ye Zhijian, Ye Yunxi, and their group of clansmen had obtained the Heavenly Dream Butterfly, thus rendering a service to the Ye family, and had begun to plunder the next Mu family's Great Spirit Mountain.

So far, they have only searched two nearby sacred mountains.

"Whether we escape or not, we can't take the Spirit Mountain, many spiritual creatures, and the secret realm's spiritual mines with us!" Ye Tengchuan said with a smile.

He had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and he didn't compete with others, but he didn't want to fall too far behind Ye Zhijian.

He knew that the latter was the true top three genius in the Ye family.

He himself only possessed five spiritual roots. Without the beast-connecting patterns of the Ye family, he might still be a mere Purple Mansion cultivator today, or at most a Golden Core cultivator.

But now that the beast pattern has narrowed the gap, and he has the sword in his hand, he is not willing to fall too far behind.

Ye Qingyan didn't speak at this moment, but just smiled. As the second most skilled alchemist in the Ye family after Ye Jingcheng, he didn't feel any sense of competition. Moreover, as the eldest of the Qing generation, his views were actually similar to those of the Jing generation. Having seen too much, he had more expectations for the family.

Of course, he also understood Ye Yunxuan and Ye Tengchuan's thoughts.

After all, Ye Jingcheng, Tian Nie Qingqiu, and other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ye family had already conquered the Taiyuan Realm and wiped out 90% of the Mu family's forces, signifying that the war for Nascent Soul cultivators was over.

The subsequent looting became a healthy internal competition among the remaining members of the Ye family.

The reason for this competition is quite simple.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the next step to break through to the Divine Transformation stage will definitely require the aid of a Divine Transformation Elixir.

However, due to the scarcity of the Nascent Soul Elixir, countless Nascent Soul cultivators are destined to cross a narrow bridge, with only a few able to reach the other side.

Currently, apart from the older generation of clansmen, none of the remaining young clansmen in the Ye family are lacking in talent, so naturally no one wants to fall behind.

"The Six Paths Sect and the remaining forces of the Taiyuan Realm should not dare to harbor them. In addition, given the known blockade of the realm gates, there is a high probability that there will be no problem. This time, the problem is not too big. At most, they will hide and we will need to use the divination technique to find them later." As the eldest among them, Ye Haihe saw things very clearly and had no intention of competing.

After all, the Ye family's current life is something they couldn't have imagined six or seven hundred years ago.

At that time, anyone in the Ye family who could break through to the Purple Mansion realm was already a clan-protecting patriarch.

Unlike now, the Purple Mansion is barely enough to meet the Ye family's standard for traveling outside the state!
Moreover, he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and with the Sea-Suppressing Demon Emperor and the Fifth-Order Azure Demon Emperor as his spirit beasts, he was already extremely satisfied.

He will accept whatever level he reaches in the future with equanimity.

"May I ask if those ahead are the masters of the Ye family?" Before they could activate the formation to seal off the Spiritwood Mountain Range, a spirit boat flew in from afar, followed by eight fifth-order demon emperors heading this way.

As soon as these eight demon emperors arrived, they all knelt down. If their true forms weren't so enormous, they would probably have revealed their true forms to show their submission.

"I am Guishan of the Guishan clan from Lingmu Mountain, paying my respects to the Ye family envoy!"

"I am Chi Tie of the Crimson Flame Iron Ape Clan of Lingmu Mountain, paying my respects to the Envoy of the Ye Family!"

"I am Mingyu from the Azure Bright Sparrow Clan of Lingmu Mountain, paying my respects to the Envoy of the Ye Family!"

……

With the emergence of a demon emperor from each of the eight major demon emperor clans—the Mountain-Bearing Turtle, the Crimson Flame Iron Ape, the Azure Bright Sparrow, the Thousand-Legged Demon Centipede, the Purple Jade Crystal Spider, the Heavenly Wind Black Leopard, the Black Dragon, and the Crimson-Eyed Black Ox—a demon emperor has been born.

This also means that eight of the ten major demon beast clans in the entire Lingmu Mountain Range are already here.

This was quite different from what they had expected, that the other party would hide.

“We previously submitted to the Four Mysterious Demon Saints, but after they were captured by the Mu family, we followed them. On this trip, the Mu family also summoned many of our beasts, who should have all perished in Tianmu City. We have come here to submit to the Ye family and offer our pledge of allegiance!” Guishan spoke, his words unusually calm, and he took out a storage bag.

Inside the storage bag were the heads of the remaining two demon kings: the Azure Moon Wolf King and the Nine-Headed Serpent King.

Of course, this Hydra King only has four heads, but possesses the bloodline of the Hydra.

Guishan is also the most powerful among these eight demon emperors.

It is at least in the late stage of the fifth rank.

Of the other seven demon emperors, only the Crimson Flame Iron Ape was at the mid-stage of the fifth rank; the rest were all at the early stage of the fifth rank.

These demon emperors all remained calm, showing no intention of seeking revenge for the other demon emperors.

"You don't have the Mu family's blood pact?" Ye Haihe asked, seeing that Ye Yunxuan and Ye Qingyan were both looking at him. He didn't step aside but asked proactively.

At this moment, he was indeed the most senior, and it was naturally up to him to decide who would choose to side with him.

Moreover, he had spent a long time in Hidden Peak. Although he was not as sophisticated as the current head of the Ye family and the peak master, he was more than capable of dealing with these demon emperors and demon kings.

"Master Ye, rest assured, we naturally had blood contracts with Mu family cultivators before, but most of them used clan contracts, and the contracts were with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Mu family."

"With almost all of the Mu family's Nascent Soul cultivators perishing, we have lost control of the blood pact!"

"Of course, we are only a minority. In fact, most of our clans have been plundered by 80%, and less than 20% have survived. The reason why we demon kings stayed in the Spiritwood Mountain Range was to manage it."

"As for the demon kings of these two races, they were unwilling to submit to the Ye family and wanted to leave, but we were unable to persuade them to stay."

"Of course, we can't keep the Mu family cultivators stationed at Lingmu Mountain, nor can we betray the blood pact. We can only watch them leave!" Guishan continued.

Hearing this, Ye Haihe didn't hesitate any longer.

He first initiated blood pacts, directly pacting the Heavenly Wind Black Leopard Demon Emperor and the Mountain-Bearing Turtle Demon Emperor. Then, he also had the remaining Ye Qingyan, Ye Yunxuan, and Ye Tengchuan each pact with two demon emperors.

The next step of plundering the Spiritwood Mountain Range would definitely take a considerable amount of time, so they did not make these demon emperors wait for the contracts of the rest of their clansmen.

If he needs to change his blood pact in the future, he can do so again. After the blood pact was completed, he took out the spirit-summoning talisman and openly began to inquire about spirits.

After some questioning, the whole situation of Lingmu Mountain was finally cleared up.

This mountain range was originally the territory of all the demon beasts, just like the Taihang Mountains. However, the Mu family came to the Taiyuan Realm and subdued the Four Mysterious Ancient Lions, as well as a number of other clans, and established the Ten Great Demon Clans.

Although Mu Huayuan of the Mu family did not start out as a beast tamer, over the years, by specializing in killing beast taming forces and families, the Mu family's way of beast taming has long been perfected.

It is no less powerful than the Heavenly Beast Sect or the Flying Zombie Sect, but because the Mu family's territory is too vast, the Spirit Wood Mountain Range is still the territory of the Four Profound Ancient Lions.

However, almost all of the Four Mystic Ancient Lions are in Tianmu City.

“We have collected all the main core treasures, but the core spiritual herbs and spiritual minerals are still on Mount Sixuan…” Guishan took out a storage bag and handed it to Ye Haihe.

The storage bag was filled with a dazzling array of treasures, which surprised Ye Haihe.

There are 581 fifth-order spiritual herbs inside, including three Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginsengs, three Nascent Soul Fruit Trees, and even more Purple Jade Vine.

There are even special beast fires.

Clearly, even though the Ye family had gathered many Nascent Soul cultivators at the Nascent Soul Ceremony, no Mu family cultivator believed that the Mu family would be defeated.

Therefore, they did not collect all of the Mu family's treasures.

These medicinal herbs are distributed in various herb gardens in the Spiritwood Mountains, and many of them are already mature.

This is enough to demonstrate that the Mu family's foundation is far stronger than that of Penglai.

It should be noted that the Mu family's most important spiritual herb garden was destroyed in the spatial node.

Mu Huayuan will have storage bags, but definitely not that many.

“This is the Heavenly Illusion Silver Jade Flower…” On the Four Profound Ancient Mountain, in the very center of a spiritual herb garden, a sixth-order spiritual flower was shimmering with spiritual light.

This surprised Ye Haihe greatly.

"The Mu family sent people to take us away, but I persuaded them to leave. I also hope the Ye family can give our beast herd a chance to live!" Guishan spoke first.

Then the other seven demon emperors also spoke one by one.

"Of course!" Ye Haihe was overjoyed to have collected one of the three main ingredients for the Yuan Shen Pill, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The Ye family raises many beasts, and with the addition of beast-patterned creatures, they naturally wouldn't look down on even more demonic beasts.

However, the Ye family will definitely have to reorganize the Beast Clan and Beast Valley.

The old Four Valleys and Beast God Valley are definitely not enough.

Clans with demon saints will be assigned to the highest-ranking Beast Valley, and their treatment will definitely be different.

Secondly, those like the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, who have made significant contributions to the Ye family, should also be treated specially.

"This is the Heavenly Fruit!" Ye Qingyan was the most excited; compared to the others, this spiritual herb was clearly more attractive to him.

Besides the Heavenly Illusion Silver Jade Flower, this sixth-order spirit herb garden also has a sixth-order Heavenly Palace Fruit tree, which is also the main ingredient for the sixth-order Heavenly Palace Pill.

Besides these, there are also quite a few fifth-tier spiritual herbs.

As far as Ye Qingyan knew, many of these were the advanced pill materials that Ye Jingcheng needed.

"Master, there are still many descendants of our clan here, all of whom are quite talented. Please treat them well!" After the group of cultivators finished looking at the spirit herb garden and collecting the spiritual materials, they left.

Guishan led the remaining demon kings and took out the cubs one by one.

Basically, all eight clans have two spirit beast cubs or spirit eggs.

Among these cubs and spirit eggs, the weakest one was at the mid-stage of the third rank, while the most powerful was a turtle egg that already possessed the aura of the peak of the third rank.

It's likely that it's born at the fourth rank.

"This tortoise is..." The Ye family members were somewhat numb at this moment, because even when the Chenjing, Jinpeng, Tianni, and Qingqiu clans submitted, nothing like this had ever happened.

Now, they can directly use the most talented descendants to be contract-trained by the Ye family members.

These are different from the older ones. Once they are raised by the Ye family cultivators, it is difficult for them to regain their sense of identity with the demon race.

“This tortoise has probably reverted to its ancestral form. According to my observation, it should have the bloodline of the Mountain Abyss Tortoise. According to the ancient texts, the Mountain Abyss Tortoise at its peak is comparable to a true spirit. It is said that there is a Mountain Abyss City in the Spirit Realm, which was carried by the Mountain Abyss Tortoise!” Turtle Mountain continued.

With the Mountain Abyss Turtle, the remaining Sky Wind Black Leopard, and the Crimson Flame Iron Ape and other offspring all being extremely powerful, the four of them had the idea of ​​finding one or two to raise as new spirit beasts.

You should know that each of them has actually contracted five or six spirit beasts.

“You’ve done very well. When Lord Qianchen arrives, we will put in a good word for you. However, you will have to leave Taiyuan Realm and head to Dayu Realm!” Ye Haihe then said.

After all, the Ye family had promised the four demon saints that they would only plunder within the Taiyuan Realm and would not linger there.

The Ye family is confident in their ability to deal with the demon saint before them.

After all, the Ye family now controls the Taihang Mountains, the Tianyuan Mountain Range, and the Tianyao Mountains. At worst, the Demon Emperor can spread towards the White Ape Demon Saint, and the White Ape Demon Saint wouldn't dare to say anything.

Secondly, with the territory of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Sea now vacant, the Ye family will definitely want to occupy the territory of the Heavenly Insect Realm in the future.

The Ye family didn't plunder the Heavenly Insect Realm before because they were worried about the Mu family and the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance joining forces.

But now, there is no need to be afraid. In fact, because the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance has accepted the Rift Sky Clan, the Black Ox Clan, and the Yuan Lei Clan, the Ye family has ample reason to rush into the Heavenly Insect Realm from the boundary gate of the Golden Roc Sea.

"Of course, no problem. It's just a pity about the many secret realms and this herb garden here!" Guishan nodded. In order to survive, it naturally wouldn't refuse.

But it also has some feelings for the Taiyuan Realm.

“We can take away any secret realms, but only those of the second rank and above are allowed. We can leave the first and second rank ones alone; we can just loot them. We don’t need to worry about the sixth-rank spirit herb garden either, as our human race is best at cultivating spirit herb gardens!” Ye Haihe agreed.

This time, the Ye family harvested a massive amount of spirit stones, as well as a considerable number of sixth-order spirit gathering arrays and spirit attracting stones. Opening up three new sixth-order spirit veins would be no problem, and naturally, they could also open up three new sixth-order spirit herb gardens.

If we include the cave heaven that the Ye family obtained this time, then there will be even more sixth-order spiritual veins and sixth-order spiritual herb gardens.

……

At this moment, members of the Ye family were plundering all over the Taiyuan Realm, while countless Golden Core cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators were constantly entering similar secret realms.

Of course, they would also encounter hidden Mu family cultivators. However, to the Ye family cultivators, they would appear to be cultivators, but in reality, they would be accompanied by five or six spirit beasts and spirit puppets, making it easy for them to overcome opponents of higher levels.

Ye Jingcheng was unaware of these circumstances at the moment, as he had already entered the cave and begun sorting through his spoils.
