Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1630 When the time is not right, one should prepare one's fists; when the time is right, one should vanquish the demons (Seeking monthly votes)
Desert, Tianfeng Oasis, Tianmeng Valley.

The Illusion Valley is still located on Earth Shadow Peak, but it is no longer an Illusion Valley as before.

There are four Illusion Valleys at this moment, which are also divided into four levels, namely, the first, second, third, and fourth, according to the order in which the four Heavenly Dream Butterflies arrived at the Ye family.

In recent years, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Ye family has increased dramatically, and there are also many Golden Core cultivators preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Each Illusion Valley shone with a dazzling spiritual light, especially the cultivators in the Inner Heaven Hall, who knew that there was a special inheritance within these Illusion Valleys.

Therefore, in the Ye family, Illusion Valley is exceptionally famous, attracting Ye family cultivators far more than the Ye family's Starry Sky Secret Realm and Body Tempering Secret Realm.

Furthermore, the Starry Sky Secret Realm is only for sword cultivators, while the Body Tempering Secret Realm and the Heavenly Gang Body Tempering Array are only for body cultivators.

Only in the Illusion Valley, even without obtaining the hidden inheritance, can one train their mental state and help them break through.

However, two of the Illusion Valleys had a large number of cultivators, while the other two had very few.

The two valleys with the most cultivators were the two Illusion Valleys that had already awakened the Heavenly General's inheritance.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Dream Butterfly obtained from the Heavenly Beast Sect and the Mu Family has yet to be inherited by anyone in the Dream Valley.

Even the initial arrangement of Ye Xuecang and Ye Zhijian guarding the area together has changed to the Ye family's Array Hall and Sword Hall jointly assigning people to guard it.

The person in charge of guarding the Formation Hall is named Ye Jingzhi, while the person in charge of guarding the Sword Hall is named Ye Xingyuan.

Behind each of them were many disciples, who followed several people to set up formations and register names.

The Ye family now has quite a few Golden Core cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators, including many of the Teng and Zhi generations.

However, the generations with the character "Xing" and "Jing" in their names are now very few.

Aside from those born later, the youngest of the Xing generation are already nearly eight hundred years old, and even the youngest of the Jing generation are already seven hundred years old. Therefore, although their strength is not the strongest, their seniority is the highest.

The remaining Golden Core and Purple Mansion were located in those two busy Illusion Valleys.

The two, on the other hand, were quite relaxed. Before the two valleys where the inheritance had not yet been revealed, they took out the jade book, glanced at it, and only then did Ye Xingyuan speak:
"Jing Yong and Guang Yuan should be next!"

Because of the reform of the Ye family's ancestral halls, only those with Nascent Soul cultivation could become hall masters.

Currently, the head of the Sword Hall is Ye Tengchuan, while the head of the Formation Hall is Ye Jingyu.

"Yes, speaking of which, Guangyuan is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, right?" Ye Jingzhi sighed.

He wasn't one of the talented members of the Ye family, so he greatly envied the talented members of the Ye family.

The Ye family doesn't value spiritual roots, but they do value beast-connecting patterns. His Uncle Xing Shui couldn't even break through to the Golden Core stage because his beast-connecting patterns weren't good enough. He eventually died of old age on Tianying Peak, and when he passed away, he passed on the Golden Light Rhinoceros to him.

"Yes, but Guangyuan has also changed his cultivation method!" Ye Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Guangyuan is the only cultivator in the Ye family with a Heavenly Spirit Root Wood attribute. It's just that his Beast-Connecting Mark is only five inches long, otherwise he would have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage long ago.

Because of the fact that Ye Tengming and Ye Tengjia, who were not far behind in age, and the trend of switching to wood-attribute cultivation techniques led by Ye Yunmei, they also began to focus on cultivating spiritual herbs.

"Look, that's the illusion array where Uncle Haihe is!" Ye Jingzhi suddenly exclaimed at that moment.

At his prompting, Ye Xingyuan looked over and indeed saw that brilliant spiritual light was spreading from the formation, and a terrifying aura was emanating from it.

"The Heavenly Dream Butterfly has spread its wings!" Ye Xingyuan repeatedly activated the formation, and at that very moment, countless Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators flew towards this side.

The fastest among them were Ye Tengchuan and Ye Haicheng.

"Who went in?" Because ten years later would be the day the Earthly Immortal Realm was activated again, Ye Haicheng spent his days refining and researching magical puppets.

On the contrary, they didn't know much about the Ye family's affairs.

Ye Tengchuan was going to Sanyuan City to guard the market, but not much else was known about that.

"Uncle, the person in this Illusion Valley is Uncle Haihe. He returned from the Heavenly Dragon Sea half a year ago. It seems that his cultivation is not being able to be suppressed, so he is preparing to go into seclusion in the Illusion Dream Realm. He probably won't be able to participate!" Ye Xingyuan knew this very well and introduced everything.

"It seems to be the inheritance of Wu Tianjiang. It seems that this Dream Awakening has cultivation level and special restrictions!" Ye Haicheng knew that he was not a reincarnation of a heavenly general.

Rather, it is clear that this is what inheritance means.

He didn't think his puppet-making skills were particularly advanced; it was just that he had mastered too many puppet-making techniques and had only been able to dream of his past life and receive the Heavenly General's inheritance when he reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

The title "Martial Heavenly General" or "Water Heavenly General" is what the Ye family speculates is the earliest form of inheritance.

Now that Ye Haihe is a wind-attribute body cultivator, the answer is naturally already clear.

Of course, he didn't have any particular thoughts about Ye Haihe not being able to participate in the Immortal Realm.

The selection of the Ye family members for this Earth Immortal Realm has been finalized. The leaders are Ye Jingyu, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Qingfeng, who is at the late Nascent Soul stage, followed by Ye Qingnian, Ye Zhijian, who is at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and Ye Tengming and Ye Tengchuan, who are at the early Nascent Soul stage...

In addition, there are the demon emperors of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Nirvana Clan, the Qingqiu Clan, and the Chenjing Golden Roc Clan.

In this Immortal Realm, it can be said that the Ye family cultivators can practically walk sideways, and Ye Haihe is no exception.

As this commotion was heard, Ye Jingcheng appeared nearby in the distance.

Also landing nearby were Nascent Soul cultivators such as Ye Qingfeng.

They were all transported from places like the Eastern Tianjiao Sea.

Although this would leave other areas vulnerable, the Ye family's greatest fighting force is still the demon beasts. In addition, the Ye family is now the number one power in the Ten Realms, so there is no need for them to stay behind.

Take Sanyuan City for example. Fifty years have passed since it became a Holy City, and to this day, no cultivator has dared to make a move within a radius of ten thousand feet of Sanyuan City.

In addition to the Nascent Soul cultivators who came, the Mystic Lotus Spiritual Cane and the Crystal Demon Jade Bed were also delivered.

……

Ye Haihe was naturally unaware of the changes outside. He felt dizzy and his thoughts were slowing down, like an old tortoise.

He tried to move, but found that he couldn't even move.

All he remembered was that he seemed to have entered the Heavenly Dream Butterfly Valley.

Looking again, he suddenly found himself transformed into a young boy, landing in front of a magnificent golden palace, with many of his fellow clansmen beside him.

They were dressed in unfamiliar clothes, but each of them wore a family token of the Ye family around their waist.

"Yunwu, it's a pity, but there aren't many spots in the inner hall of the family. You have to understand. Your magical abilities aren't strong, so you can consider training your descendants and enjoying the pleasures of immortality. As for revenge, the family has been helping you find your enemies..."

……

"Yunwu, give up. You and I are just ordinary people. Although body cultivators are powerful, below the Nascent Soul stage, body cultivation is nowhere near as powerful as Qi cultivation. Although our family has many body cultivators, their spiritual roots have high affinity, making their cultivation twice as effective!"

"If the family finds the person who killed your father, they will definitely kill them. My Ye family is the number one power in the Tianxuan Spiritual Domain!"

"...Yunwu, you're going to die! Do you even know that you used beast blood to refine your own body? Even the clan elders wouldn't dare to do that!"

"If it weren't for the family elders saving you, you would be dead!"

"Even if the family finds out that it is a Nascent Soul of the Celestial Dog Clan, you don't need to do this. The Ancestor has already spoken, and the Celestial Dog Clan will definitely pay the price!"

……

"Your name is Yunwu, right? Why are you so obsessed with strengthening your body?"

"Your three spiritual roots and low affinity are indeed of extremely poor cultivation aptitude. Considering your filial piety in wanting to avenge your father day and night, I, your ancestor, will point you in a direction, but you will have to endure hardship. In the family's Heavenly Abyss Dinghao Secret Realm, there are many demonic beasts that are not good at magic, which can help you train your physical body and martial arts. Of course, if you go there, there is an 80% chance of dying!"

"As for the Blood Refining Secret Technique, don't use it. It's not a core secret technique of the family. I have a Heaven-Stealing Bone-Changing Technique here, which is quite good. Moreover, it's not a family secret technique; I obtained it by chance. Passing it on to you won't violate the family rules!"

……

"Yunwu, right? Not bad. You've killed more than a dozen demonic beasts of the same level these past few days. But with your injuries, aren't you going to rest for a while?"

"There are also healing pills like these. Use them if you need to. Do you think a cultivator's body is like a demon beast's body, able to recover quickly?"

……

"Yunwu, you've arrived. You've reached the Purple Mansion realm. Not bad!"

"You have quite a few scars on your face. The Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm is indeed suitable for you. But you should be happier, after all, you are getting closer and closer to your revenge. The family is already looking for the Heavenly Dog Clan's ancestral land. Although the Endless Continent is vast, there is nowhere the family's Heavenly Ship cannot go?"

"You don't need to bring these spiritual items. I'm not doing this bone-changing technique for you because I want your reward, but you can let me see your bone patterns."

"You swapped in animal bones? Actually, cultivator bones are better..."

"However, this is your own path, and I don't know if it's good or bad, but I can let you join the inner hall."

……

"It's a pity that you only have a barely three-inch beast pattern. Spirit control will be very difficult for you. Otherwise, body cultivation and spirit control are special features of my Ye family, which would definitely be a great help to you!"

"Since you were introduced by Elder Xingli, I won't try to persuade you. But you can choose two types of spirit beasts. One type is one that can boost your cultivation. It's a fourth-tier demon beast with a relatively high cultivation level, but its potential is not high. The other type has decent potential, but it needs to be nurtured."

"Choosing the first option is indeed the most useful for you. For you, cultivating yourself is better than cultivating spirit beasts!"

"Work hard and don't waste the efforts of Ancestor Xingli in nurturing you. He even used his own contribution points to raise your spirit beast to a higher level this time!"

……

"Nineteenth place in the clan competition is already quite good. We can apply for the Golden Core stage for you. Cheer up! Body cultivation isn't about fighting against others, it's about fighting against yourself!"

"However, your spirit-controlling technique seems a bit different. You shouldn't have that kind of demonic beast, right?"

"Using the remains of the dead to refine them into a special magic array, and then using the bone-changing technique to temporarily place it in one's own body, is indeed a brilliant idea!"

"I've improved this for you. If you have any questions, just come and ask me!"

"However, you can't be my disciple yet. Just call me Ancestor. I'll accept you as my disciple once you reach the Golden Core stage and enter the top ten of the Golden Core Competition!"

……

"Yunwu, your aura and abilities are not yours; this is not a normal spirit master!"

"Don't worry, Yunwu, in the Ye family, as long as you rely on your own abilities, the Ye family will protect you!"

"You've already reached the top ten in the Golden Core stage, and you're qualified to become my disciple, but I'm still your ancestor!"

……

"Yunwu, this is the Heaven-Changing Battle Martial Technique that you obtained from another secret realm. You don't need to tell me. Of course, you can tell your family. The contribution should be tens of millions, enough for you to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage!"

"But this Heaven-Changing Battle Martial Technique can actually be combined with your previous Bone-Changing Technique. This way, there will be no side effects; it will only consume one corpse!"

"Take it, this is what you deserve. It's one of the four core body cultivation techniques of the Ye family, the Primordial Body Tempering Scripture. You have few beast patterns, so you must rely on the core technique to improve your cultivation speed. My contribution points are useless to you, since you can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage anyway!"

"By the way, you should prepare well. The family is already planning to take action against the Celestial Dog Clan in fifty years!"

……

"Yunwu, you've finally gotten your revenge, but I'm really tired. After all these years of fighting and killing, I've been wanting to rest for a while!"

"Yunwu, don't cry. You didn't cry when you crawled out of the monster corpses in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. How can you cry now? You performed very well this time. You can enter the family's Body Tempering Hall. You will have a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stages in the future!"

"Yunwu, but you still need to remember that although you are in the late Nascent Soul stage, never underestimate any Qi Refining cultivator. They may have talismans and magic treasures that you can't imagine. Just kill them as soon as possible!"

"As for my last wish, it's that I didn't get to see you get married. Also, although the Ye family can be a bit cold-hearted at times, that's just how big families are. Protect the family, and maybe I can be reincarnated into the Ye family. Then you'll be my ancestor!"

……

"Yunwu, you are quite good. You killed a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul. This time, you can choose any family treasure. You are worthy of becoming the Holy Son of the Ye family. Although this cultivation method is not as good as the Immortal Scripture, it is indeed the number one body cultivation method of our Ye family, the Dragon Slaying Demon Suppression Scripture!"

"If you cultivate this method and combine it with your other Heaven-Stealing Battle Martial Secret Technique, in terms of short-term combat power, you could probably fight against even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. However, the family can only provide you with a limited number of dragon corpses..."

……

"Ancestor Yunwu, you've broken through to the Fusion stage? You're now definitely the Ye family's number one fighter! You can kill a peak Void Refinement cultivator even if you're only in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement stage!"

"With you here, even if the Jade Soul Clan attacks, we will not be afraid!"

"Ancestor Yunwu, Ancestor Yunjian, and Ancestor Shengwu have summoned you, saying they have important matters to discuss!"

……

"Yunwu, we can't hold them off any longer, we're not going to defend anymore. You and Yunjian, come with me!"

"You are all excellent. It is just that the Ye family is unlucky. However, giving up is not in the Ye family's nature. In the end, we will definitely have a bloody battle!"

"Those old dogs of the Jade Soul Clan, and all those other minor clans, don't even think about having an easy time!"

"It's just a pity, Yunwu, you've only just broken through to the Fusion stage, and Yunjian hasn't fully comprehended that sword technique..."

……

“Yunwu, all eight of you are the future hope of my Ye family. I have used the Blood Treasure to hide the secrets of heaven and the Blood Treasure to entrust your bloodline to send you into reincarnation, betting on a rebirth and on a prosperous era for the Ye family.”

"Everyone, remember this: the colorful wings of Nanke are but a fleeting dream; let us condense our Great Dao to seek immortality!"

"When times are unfavorable, one should prepare one's strength; when the time is right, one should vanquish the demons!"
