Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1627 True Spirit? (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

As the Stone Spirit Cave opened its mouth, Ye Jingcheng felt extremely surprised.

The secret realm wasn't very large, but he could clearly sense an aura pushing it out.

While pondering, Ye Jingcheng once again summoned his spirit. This time, the summoning was more thorough, and his entire body was covered in golden scales. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

He then activated the superior spiritual treasure, the Soul-Nourishing Jade, to protect his soul.

He even activated the Taiyuan Golden Body.

Now he was in his strongest state as a sixth-level demon saint without spirit control. With the Tongtian Spirit Treasure under control, Ye Jingcheng rushed towards that space again.

This time, unlike with divine sense, there was no obstruction, and he finally saw a magnificent starry sky.

The sky was filled with twinkling stars, forming a dazzling Milky Way.

Beneath the stars, a pool imbued with some inexplicable spiritual energy settled within it.

This spiritual energy is neither like water nor like spiritual liquid.

Just as Ye Jingcheng rushed in, the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit and the Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm rushed in again.

Because they were behind Ye Jingcheng, neither of them was excluded.

But both of them stared intently at the pool.

They felt that if they could absorb the special spiritual energy in that pool, their cultivation would greatly increase.

Even the two demons were swallowing hard.

Ye Jingcheng's gaze was not on the pool, nor on the Dragon Soul Grass beside it.

He gazed at the top of the spirit pool, where a magnificent spiritual energy, carrying a considerable divine sense, was constantly scrutinizing him.

That divine sense was still somewhat timid and puzzled.

They clearly didn't know why Ye Jingcheng was here.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng possesses the aura of a dragon, but it is not pure.

As for the Stone Spirit and the Sky-Splitting Earthworm, they showed no trace of dragon aura and continued to stare at its pool.

Roar!
The dragon shadow finally moved, roaring at Ye Jingcheng and unleashing a terrifying surge of divine consciousness and special power.

But at this moment, Ye Jingcheng's face was full of joy.

He waved his hand, and it transformed into a Holy Spirit Tower, blocking the way.

His precious book lit up at this moment, but the book only had two layers of spiritual light.

He also had a guess in his mind, which was the information he learned from Mu Mingqing's soul search.

"It really works!"

There are two ways for a true spirit to be born in the cultivation world.

One is the union of true spirits, which occurs by chance and serendipity.

Secondly, since they were born in response to Heaven and Earth, they are also true spirits.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was probably the true spirit of an ancient void dragon.

What he was curious about was that True Spirits were born at the sixth or even seventh rank, and if they endured long enough and matured to their final state, they could even become ninth-rank demon immortals.

That's comparable to a Mahayana cultivator.

Thinking about this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but get excited.

He hadn't felt this kind of excitement in a long time.

He has experienced a lot in the past six or seven hundred years, and he originally thought that he had long been able to remain calm and composed in the face of anything.

But at this moment, he did lose his composure.

What he was curious about was, since the True Spirit was already firmly at the ninth level, why were there still advanced pill formulas?

Furthermore, there are two more levels to the advanced pill formula.

He couldn't help but ponder his precious book.

This precious book is probably not from the spirit realm, but definitely from the immortal realm.

Ye Jingcheng was startled when he thought of this.

After all, he is still a mortal. Even the former Tianxuan Ye family has no Mahayana cultivators, let alone fallen immortals.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the immortal realm.

But his precious book seemed to be from the celestial realm, how could he not be shocked?

While Ye Jingcheng was pondering, the Holy Spirit Tower had already collided with the attack of the ancient dragon's shadow.

Ye Jingcheng sensed it and found that although the aura was powerful, the combat strength had not reached the sixth level.

Therefore, many cracks appeared in the void, but the Holy Spirit Tower was still not destroyed.

"I'm afraid this true spirit hasn't been fully born yet!" Ye Jingcheng finally understood why the Cold Nether Demon Saint had repeatedly attacked the Ye family, even knowing he was no match for them.

This is the same as the Xuanwu Divine Lord who obtained the Xuantian Spirit Vine.

They are too sensitive to external dangers, and they cannot simply escape like the Five-Colored Demon Saint and the Heavenly Bamboo Demon Saint.

After all, once the Ye family discovers the secret of the Heavenly Flood Dragon Sea, they will definitely occupy it and refuse to leave.

With this true spirit present, it's no wonder that dragon energy emanates, supporting the reproduction of the entire Tianjiao Sea dragon.

It should be noted that the dragon race does not have a strong reproductive ability. It is just that dragons are inherently promiscuous, but most of them give birth to mixed blood or dragon-blooded demon beasts.

Purebloods are not many.

However, the fact that the Heavenly Dragon Sea has developed to this point must be largely due to the influence of the True Spirit.

As Ye Jingcheng thought of this, he also considered that it was somewhat coincidental that the Xuan Tian Ling Teng and the True Spirit both appeared in the Dayu Realm at the same time.

This even made him suspect that this might be an arrangement by the Tianxuan Ye family.

But he quickly shook his head.

The Xuan Tian Ling Teng and the Zhen Ling Ye family did not obtain them easily.

"Go outside and tell my Uncle Haihe and Uncle Haifei that I might be staying here for a while!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the unborn True Spirit in the distance, which already possessed considerable intelligence, and felt a headache coming on.

It's likely that the old monster Hanming frequently brainwashes this true spirit.

At this moment, he wished he could grind that Cold Sea Demon Saint to dust.

After the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit and the Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm went out to report, Ye Jingcheng also took out a spirit pill to replenish his qi and blood. Because it was a true spirit, Ye Jingcheng felt that if he attacked it head-on, it might damage the true spirit.

This is, after all, the Ye family's first true spirit, and a true spirit that has just been born in the mortal realm.

With this true spirit, he even felt that the Ye family might be able to freely travel between the upper and lower realms in the future.

The Void Ancient Dragon is far superior to spirit beasts like the Void God Earthworm and the Void Sky Mantis.

Therefore, the importance of this true spirit has even surpassed that of the Xuan Tian Spirit Vine.

After swallowing the elixir, Ye Jingcheng began to expel a drop of his essence blood, preparing to initiate the blood pact.

He certainly wouldn't allow other members of his clan to form a contract with such a true spirit.

After all, his soul contract was quite special, and Ye Jingcheng suspected that it was also part of the treasure book.

He couldn't trust any other people's contracts, not even the Soul-Locking Spirit Contract.

As he performed the incantation, Ye Jingcheng's essence blood was the first to strike the distant dragon shadow.

However, the dragon shadow dodged very cautiously.

But Ye Jingcheng was not unprepared. The essence blood also transformed into spiritual light and followed closely.

After several dozen breaths, the essence and blood finally dissipated into the void.

Just a tiny bit missing!
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel somewhat unwilling.

Fortunately, he had long been prepared for a protracted battle.

Once you're bound by his soul contract, there's no escaping it.

The elixir dissolved in his mouth, providing him with a massive amount of vital energy.

However, he did not immediately renew the blood pact.

Instead, he walked to the edge of the pool and began to unleash his magical light.

When the treasure light was unleashed, the dragon shadow in the sky was clearly taken aback.

This made Ye Jingcheng overjoyed, as it meant that even the true spirit couldn't help but be drawn to his precious light.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng deliberately forced out his essence blood again and placed it into the pool.

But clearly, the essence and blood fell into the pool and dissipated.

This pool can at most be considered a nest for nurturing true spirits; the true spirit is still the dragon shadow.

Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

Fortunately, he knew that the true spirit of the contract was definitely not that simple.

Therefore, he continued to radiate the precious light and continued to meditate to replenish his qi and blood.

After unleashing his divine light, he discovered that the true spirit neither drove him away nor attacked him again.

However, avoiding the blood pact was still out of instinct.

So, every day Ye Jingcheng would cast one-tenth of the precious light on the pool.

Don't think that one-tenth is too little. Ye Jingcheng has now opened nearly a thousand pages of the precious book, and one-tenth of the precious light is already the amount that the Jade Dragon would normally cultivate without injury.

Of course, Bao Guang can still give.

But Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn't continue to give.

Feelings are cultivated, just like finding a spiritual partner.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was incredibly patient.

I stayed in this secret realm for a full month.

On this day, Ye Jingcheng deliberately displayed more of his divine light.

As the precious light fell upon the pool, the dragon's shadow began to approach Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng also spoke up:
"I know you can understand, I definitely won't harm you, and I might even make you a more powerful True Spirit!" Ye Jingcheng guessed that True Spirits must also have levels, just like Spirit Treasures are divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

My precious book can advance two more levels.

Although even Dan Fang himself might not understand the formula, that doesn't stop him from making empty promises to the little spirit.

Seeing this little spirit really eased a lot of my wariness.

Ye Jingcheng also condensed his tenth drop of essence blood.

This time, the dragon shadow tried to dodge again, but it was much slower. Like a curious baby facing splashed water, it might no longer dodge, but instead go to see what the water felt like.

As the essence and blood seeped into the dragon's shadow.

Ye Jingcheng felt that his soul had suddenly formed a new connection.

The constant fluctuations from that connection are it.

"Give me the treasure light!"

Give me a little more!

"So stingy! So stingy!"

……

Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed, knowing that he had finally achieved a soul-binding with the true spirit.

Before he could even feel a surge of joy, he suddenly felt as if his soul was carrying a massive mountain, pressing down on him so much that he could hardly breathe.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng!
This clearly indicates that he has too many spiritual contracts and is under too much pressure.

In particular, this True Spirit exerted even greater pressure on him than Jade Dragon and Heavenly Nirvana Demon Saint.

And you should know that this is still an unborn true spirit.

This gave him the urgent desire to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

During the great battle of the Mu family, he obtained the superior spiritual treasure, the Soul Nourishing and Returning Jade, which was also an auxiliary means to enhance the soul.

Secondly, one can use the Nine Yin Qi to perform the Nine Yin Soul Forging Technique. Although this method is less effective, it can still be improved if enough Nine Yin Qi is found.

Finally, there's the feedback from the dream-devouring worms.

Fortunately, the Dream-Devouring Worm is about to break through to the peak of the fifth rank and has already gathered all the spiritual materials for the Dream-Devouring Pill. After devouring the souls of two or three demon saints, the feedback will be equally strong.

If he fails again, he will have no choice but to collect the spiritual materials for a sixth-order Soul Nourishing Profound Heart Pill and refine a batch of pills to help him break through to the Divine Soul!
