Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1634 The Special Sword Pot Appears in the Five Spirits Sect Secret Realm
In the realm of immortals, a chilling aura emanates from a tranquil pool, and a faint frost covers the surrounding grass and leaves.

A red bee flew leisurely by, heading towards a Qingli Hanyuan flower.

The next moment, a long, crimson tongue suddenly stretched out, about to engulf the bee-insect.

Before it could land, a spell strangely formed in the pool, transforming into a giant, icy hand.

Catch a green and white toad and freeze it instantly.

That cold toad was no ordinary spirit beast; it was a fourth-tier Azure Jade Cold Toad.

But at this moment, he was enveloped by the cold air and could not move.

"As expected, there are still Frost Toads." A woman emerged from the surrounding forest; it was none other than Ye Yunxi.

Having cultivated the Qianhan Immortal Scripture, although her cultivation level was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, her strength was enough to overpower Ye Qingnian.

Many members of the Ye family are curious about whether Ye Yunxi or Ye Zhijian is stronger among the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ye family.

However, at this level, it's impossible to fight with all one's might, otherwise the loss of any one of them would be a loss for the Ye family.

Ye Yunxi and Ye Zhijian had sparred a few times, each winning and losing, but Ye Zhijian clearly won more often.

But Ye Yunxi was not discouraged. She knew that Ye Zhijian had inherited the Ye family's Sword Heaven General legacy and had much more combat experience than her.

After collecting the spiritual herbs and the cold toad, she took out the family token, glanced at it, and then flew away into the distance.

Unlike the last time she was in the Earthly Immortal Realm, where she was only a Lower Earthly Immortal, this time she naturally wanted to go to the Upper Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, she is in the same team as Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingnian this time, so her most important task now is to find the two of them and then search for sixth-grade medicinal herbs.

The reason for stopping here is that the Qingli Hanyuan Flower happens to be a core auxiliary ingredient in a fifth-order cold-attribute elixir.

This is even rarer in the outside world.

As Ye Yunxi flew away, she encountered many cultivators from other sects and forces, but upon seeing the Ye family's attire, they all fled in fear.

Even more remarkably, some people would even offer her rare and precious flowers and herbs.

They seemed afraid she would take the initiative to snatch it.

Ye Yunxi didn't care about any of that, nor did she ask for it.

Unless someone foolishly attacks a member of the Ye family, she doesn't have the time to kill anyone right now.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of a valley, where Ye Qingnian, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Tengming were already waiting.

Among the three, Ye Qingnian still had the Ye family's Heavenly Treasure Rat Demon King perched on his shoulder. At this moment, the demon king was even fatter and had a bigger nose, and it was squeaking.

"My little niece Yunxi, you're too late!" Ye Qingnian didn't say anything, but Ye Qingfeng said with a smile.

Although Ye Yunxi is younger than Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng in terms of seniority, she is much older. When they were young, Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing did not have much time for each other, so Ye Yunxi often took care of Qingnian and Qingfeng. Ye Qingnian respected her very much, but Ye Qingfeng would call Ye Yunxi "little niece" whenever she saw her.

This secretly angered Ye Yunxi.

How could Ye Qingfeng surpass him in cultivation?

"I made some gains during this time." Ye Yunxi patted the storage bag at her waist.

"I obtained a fifth-tier Purple Profound Bright Origin Grass. The harvest in this Earthly Immortal Realm is truly plentiful!" Ye Qingfeng was entering the Earthly Immortal Realm for the first time, and at this moment, he was half impressed and half boastful.

"Alright, Feng'er, stop talking. Let's go straight to the Upper Earth Immortal realm. There aren't many Nascent Soul cultivators left on the outer perimeter. This time, we need to go into the core area to take a look!" Ye Qingnian quickly spoke up.

"Let's go to the Zili Sect's secret realm where we set up the formation before Penglai. Although the Zili Sect's inheritance is gone, there is a Huiyuan Heavenly Ginseng Fruit Tree there. The spiritual fruits on it should be ripe. Let's transplant it this time!" Ye Qingnian checked the map and took out his spirit boat to fly into the distance!

……

In another valley, Ye Haicheng and Ye Yunxuan were already waiting. After a while, they saw Ye Jinghu fly into the valley.

Ye Jinghu was about to say something when he noticed several unfamiliar figures around Ye Haicheng, but they seemed to have a strange aura.

"These are all specially treated magical puppets!" Ye Haicheng explained.

Of course, Ye Jinghu couldn't be too careful, since these magical puppets were just too realistic.

Furthermore, rumors circulated that he possessed the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, which left Ye Jinghu stunned for quite some time.

"Have you made some simple arrangements for the family?" Ye Haicheng asked Ye Jinghu.

Because Ye Qingnian had a mission this time, he asked Ye Jinghu to keep an eye on the family's Golden Core cultivators and those affiliated forces.

"Their secret realm has already been arranged. We can arrange for a few people to come and protect it in six months!" Ye Jinghu nodded. This time, the Ye family sent many elites with Nascent Souls, as well as several top Golden Core cultivators from the Sword Hall, including those with high spiritual roots and high beast patterns, plus the spirit puppets they left behind.

Most early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can withstand some or even some of the attacks.

So he wasn't worried at all.

This time, the Ye family's arrangements are also constantly radiating outwards. The Infant Spirit Horse was obtained in the outer reaches of the Earth Immortal Realm. The Ye family is still lacking in this kind of Nascent Soul treasure, so they certainly cannot be too conservative.

"Moreover, now as long as we wear Ye family clothing, those from other forces will give way as soon as they see the precious medicine, and they won't even turn around. Even if we don't want to forcibly seize it, we can't do anything about it. We can't just watch the precious medicine go unclaimed!" Ye Jinghu added.

There was a hint of pride in his voice when he said this.

After all, the Ye family used to be terrified of encountering those immortal sects, but now, it's other forces that are terrified of encountering the Ye family.

Even other immortal sects would actively avoid the Ye family.

"Let's go. This time, there's a secret realm in Penglai waiting for us to explore. This secret realm may contain the Heavenly Illusion Silver Jade Flower, and there's also a powerful inheritance inside." Ye Haicheng didn't say much more.

They then took out their spirit boats and flew away into the distance.

……

In another part of the Upper Immortal Realm, Ye Jingyu, Ye Zhijian, Ye Tengchuan, and Ye Qingwen were also piloting a spirit boat, heading straight towards the Upper Immortal Realm.

The spirit boat did not slow down at all during the journey.

Ye Jingyu himself is a master of array formations, and with the help of the Ye family's ethereal insects, he knows exactly where array formations and secret realms are.

This time, he was already close to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he was preparing to begin his closed-door breakthrough as soon as he left the Immortal Realm.

He wouldn't be arrogant, so having a sixth-tier Yuan Shen Pill would be even better.

Therefore, this time, he was the strictest, not letting the remaining three search for any spiritual herbs, and directly heading towards a secret realm known to the Upper Earth Immortal Mu family.

There is a five-colored Dao-nurturing lotus in this secret realm. Although it has not yet reached the time of full bloom and maturity, for the Ye family, as long as the time difference is not too great, they can obtain spiritual herbs and refine spiritual pills through catalysis.

"This is the sacred mountain. The Mu family has set up an array here!" Ye Jingyu and his group finally landed in front of a sacred mountain. As they took out an array plate, it instantly transformed into countless rays of spiritual light, merging into the surrounding void.

These spiritual lights instantly formed a spiritual diagram, which finally corresponded with the original array patterns in the void. After a while, the array dispersed.

What was originally an ordinary spiritual mountain has instantly transformed into a spiritual lake, with a secret entrance in the center of the lake.

Once the group entered, they saw another demon emperor charging towards Ye Jingyu.

These demon emperors who have remained in the realm of earthly immortals seem to lack rationality.

"The Mu family is quite clever, deliberately leaving a mid-stage fifth-tier demon emperor here!" Before Ye Jingyu could make a move, Ye Zhijian had already raised his sword. With a flash of brilliant sword light, it disappeared like an aurora, streaking across the sky.

The demon king was a four-spirited lion, its head falling straight down. "Zhijian, your strength has improved a lot again. You're not far from the late Nascent Soul stage, are you?" Ye Jingyu looked at Ye Zhijian, feeling both gratified and envious.

The latter possesses a golden spiritual root, a high-ranking beast pattern, and even inherited the legacy of the Sword Heaven General.

"That sword was so fast!" Ye Tengchuan, also a sword cultivator, exclaimed in agreement. He felt that he himself could not have caught that sword strike.

He even felt that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to unleash that sword strike.

"Fourth Ancestor, Uncle Teng Chuan, this is all thanks to the effects of the Natal Sword Pot. If you also want to nurture a sword, you can also forge one." Ye Zhijian was rather modest, and he patted the sword pot at his waist.

This sword pot is naturally not the sword-nurturing pot that the Ye family inherited before.

Instead, it was a method of nurturing a sword that he learned from the inheritance of Jian Tianjiang.

This method requires one to constantly cultivate sword intent on ordinary days; it is called the Sword Abyss Sword Nourishing Technique.

The best-forged one is not the one it looks like now, but a bead. Inside the bead is a sword abyss containing tens of thousands of swords, which are the natal swords, imbued with sword intent.

That initial sword strike, if the enemy isn't careful, could kill someone of a higher level.

However, in the mortal realm now, it is naturally impossible to refine a Sword Abyss Nourishing Sword Pearl of that level.

"I'm still lacking some materials." Although Ye Tengchuan cultivates the sword technique inherited from the Star God Lord, he also intends to condense this sword pot.

However, what he wanted to condense was a sword pot with the five elements attributes, which required far more materials than Ye Zhijian needed.

So he was still looking forward to it.

At this moment, only Ye Qingwen was somewhat unable to get a word in edgewise.

In fact, at the very beginning, he and Ye Qingyan were among the family members who were most valued by the clan.

But now, as the Ye family grows larger, so too does the number of geniuses.

Among the seven or eight generations of the Ye family, he naturally wouldn't be ranked.

Even if he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, the same applies.

"The Five-Colored Nourishing Lotus is still there, and a branch has even sprouted." After a brief discussion, the group arrived at a Five-Colored Spirit Pool and discovered that it contained not only a large Five-Colored Nourishing Lotus.

There's also a small one.

This surprised the group even more.

Dividing this sixth-tier precious herb into its own plant is extremely difficult, and the Ye family has recently been researching such techniques.

"It's a pity Yunmei isn't here!" Ye Jingyu also felt a little regretful.

However, due to time constraints, they did not discuss it further. After taking away the spiritual herbs and some mature spiritual herbs that the Ye family had, the group once again ventured deeper into the Upper Immortal Realm.

Of course, while they were searching, they were also keeping an eye on the family token.

The Five Spirits Token was in Ye Qingnian's hands, but the Five Spirits Sect's inheritance was not simple. Therefore, Ye Jingyu was still thinking of collecting the sixth-tier treasure medicine as soon as possible, and then helping to obtain the Five Spirits Sect's inheritance.

……

In another region of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Wang family's Nascent Soul cultivators landed beside a spiritual mountain.

“There are sixth-grade spiritual herbs over there…” One of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wang family looked at another location.

“We’re not going. It’s too close to the secret realm where we searched for treasure before,” said Wang Xianzhi, the head of the Wang family, shaking his head.

Don't be fooled by their seemingly decent relationship with the Ye family.

But they were equally apprehensive.

There was a misunderstanding back in the Starry Sea.

He had finally managed to clear things up, and he didn't want any more misunderstandings.

Although there are sixth-tier spiritual herbs there, they are not the precious medicines for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, so there is no need to be demanding of them.

Although if the Ye family were reasonable, they certainly wouldn't have attacked the Wang family.

But in this world, strength has always been the only truth.

It's unacceptable to use your own head to test someone else's truth.

"But what if the Ye family does this...?"

"Shut up!" Wang Xianzhi glared at the man.

Are the other immortal sects in the Great Yu Realm afraid of the Ye family's rise to power?

Of course I'm afraid!

In the past, all the Nascent Soul sects were roughly equal, and there was considerable competition among them. Even the Central Region Alliance was like this. Otherwise, the Demonic Sect and the Golden Light Temple would not have occasionally considered advancing into the Central Region.

But now the Ye family is absolutely in a league of its own.

If we look at it according to the division of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Ye family is actually an Upper Immortal Clan.

They are from the Lower Immortal Sect.

They naturally wouldn't dare to target them.

“The Zhao family has already asked the Ye family to refine the Yuan Shen Pill. You all better behave yourselves. Our Wang family is only missing the Heavenly Illusion Silver Jade Flower, and we can barely gather enough spiritual materials for a Yuan Shen Pill. Last time, our ancestor still had a favor to do, so we can ask the Ye family's ancestor to refine a Yuan Shen Pill!” Wang Xianzhi was afraid that these Nascent Soul cultivators, and some of them were foolish, so he spoke up again.

After these words were spoken, the others immediately fell silent.

And it's not just the Wang family that's like the Zhao family, but also the Jin Guang Temple, Bai Qiao Valley, Zhengdao Sect, and Ziyang Sect.

All the powers are giving way to the Ye family and avoiding them.

……

Meanwhile, in a secret realm, Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng appeared in the mountains, their storage bags already filled with spiritual herbs.

"Penglai even uses this secret realm to accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs, which is quite a bargain for us!" Ye Qingnian couldn't help but say.

They not only obtained the Rejuvenating Heavenly Ginseng Fruit Tree, but also a considerable number of sixth-tier precious medicines.

This includes a considerable amount of spiritual materials for Dust-Clearing Pills, Heavenly Palace Pills, and Thousand Moon Spirit-Condensing Pills!
"The Five Spirits Token has lit up!" Just as Ye Qingnian was preparing to search for the next secret realm of spiritual herbs, his face was filled with joy.

He also took out a token with five symbols from his storage bag.

The token is covered with five different colored spirit patterns.

The character above also seemed to possess a mysterious spiritual power.

"Over here!" Ye Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming here, they were really afraid that the Five Spirits Sect Secret Realm and the Northern Underworld Palace Secret Realm would not appear every time!

Even if they searched the entire immortal realm, they might not be able to find the second half of the cultivation technique for his father.

This forced Ye Jingcheng to switch to other cultivation methods, which also affected his cultivation progress.
