Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1636 Higher Inheritance, Forced Entry (Two-part series, please vote and subscribe)

On the surface of the secret lake, the water was calm and shimmering, with a shallow array covering the outer edge.

Under the formation, a group of Ye family members were anxiously waiting outside, with Ye Qingnian frequently asking questions on the family token.

No one was sure if they could obtain the Five Elements True Scripture, especially cultivators like Ye Qingnian who had already entered it.

He knew that the trials of the Five Spirits Sect were definitely not simple.

Especially after seeing that the Smoke Shadow Inheritance seemed to possess sentience, he became even more uncertain.

He could only send more members of the Five Elemental Root Clan to increase the probability.

Fortunately, the five spiritual root cultivators of the Ye family who reach the Golden Core stage are all quite powerful.

Besides Ye Qingnian, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Jingyu, and others who were closely related to Ye Jingcheng were also very worried.

They knew that if they didn't obtain the second half of the Five Elements True Scripture this time, they might not be able to find the secret realm again without the Five Elements Token.

They had long known that the secret realms within the Earthly Immortal Realm were not static, especially top-tier lineages like the Five Spirits Sect of the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace.

They can't afford to gamble on whether they'll find it next time.

Just like this time, they actually passed through the inheritance site of the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace, but they could no longer find the secret realm of the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace's inheritance.

Even if their own family doesn't get it, they will consider letting other sects with five spiritual roots try.

"Teng Chuan has appeared!" Just then, a figure appeared in the void, revealing Ye Teng Chuan's figure.

His eyes were full of exhaustion; he hadn't even had time to examine the magic weapon before he came out.

"I have fulfilled my mission!" Ye Tengchuan smiled knowingly at everyone, the jade slip in his hand shining brightly in the sunlight.

Ye Qingnian and Ye Jingyu couldn't resist their curiosity and went forward to take a look.

The two arrived at the same time, extended both hands simultaneously, paused in mid-air, and smiled at each other.

"Fourth Uncle, you take a look first!" Although he was Ye Jingcheng's descendant and cared deeply for his father, Ye Qingnian knew that Ye Jingyu was actually particularly concerned about this trip to the Immortal Realm because he had received a lot of favors from Ye Jingcheng.

Now that Ye Tengchuan has said he has obtained it, he is not in a hurry.

Ye Jingyu nodded, then glanced at it, took out the upper half of the Ye family's cultivation technique, compared it with the previous one, nodded, and returned the remaining jade slip to Ye Qingnian.

Ye Qingnian glanced at it a few times, and seeing that the other members of the Ye family wanted to see it, he showed it to everyone as well.

These are all core members of the Ye family, and they are all qualified to know about this technique, so there is no need for them to be shy about it.

After all, the Ye family's biggest secret, from beginning to end, has always been the Beast-Connecting Tower and its Beast-Connecting Pattern.

Only Ye Tengchuan was looking at the treasure he had obtained, which turned out to be a special fifth-tier peak magic treasure, the Five Elements Magic Essence Pearl.

It can unleash five terrifying divine powers, which would be a huge boost for Ye Tengchuan.

Because he possessed five spiritual roots, his speed was relatively slow, but his spiritual power was quite abundant. Therefore, he estimated that he would be able to activate this magic weapon once he reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

If it were a sixth-tier magic weapon, he would have given it to Ye Jingcheng, but since it was a fifth-tier one, he accepted it without any qualms.

"By the way, Patriarch, Fourth Ancestor, I find this inheritance somewhat miraculous. He actually understood that I possess the inheritance of the Star Sword Sect, and it even seemed to be asking me to find another person with five spiritual roots." Ye Tengchuan felt a weight lifted from his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he suddenly recalled the scene of the inheritance.

"The stars and the Big Dipper have fallen, and the Five Spirits' affinity is gone?" Ye Qingnian and Ye Jingyu murmured to themselves.

"This isn't even the true core inheritance?" Ye Qingnian actually thought that Ye Teng had obtained that technique because the method he gave had worked.

“There is an even greater legacy here!” Ye Jingyu nodded in agreement.

"Don't let those people with the five spiritual roots leave yet. Let them come over and try again. As for the treasures, they can come with us to search for treasures here. We can share some with them as we please!" Ye Jingyu then looked at Ye Qingnian.

Ye Qingnian nodded.

"Qingfeng, you should all try it out too!" Ye Jingyu then looked at the other clansmen.

The Five Spirits Sect has quite a few treasures and cultivation techniques. Although not many members of the Ye family came this time, they were still able to acquire some.

Ye Jingyu himself planned to go inside to gain some experience, since he was preparing to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage after leaving the Immortal Realm.

For the rest of the day, the group took turns entering the secret realm.

Ye Qingfeng obtained a fire-attribute cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the early stage of the Integration Realm and a fifth-tier peak magic weapon. Ye Yunxi obtained a water-attribute cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the early stage of the Integration Realm and a fifth-tier peak magic weapon.

Ye Qingwen obtained another body-refining technique, which could also be cultivated to the early stage of the Body Integration Realm.

However, when Ye Jingyu arrived, the cultivation technique he obtained was the same as Ye Qingnian's.

Ye Tengming's skill level only reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

Ye Jingyu and the others were not surprised.

After all, the Five Elements Sect seems to value multiple spiritual roots more, and the inheritance of a single spiritual root is not very good.

Moreover, they can all reach at least the peak of the Void Refinement stage. If word gets out, it will cause a sensation among the Nascent Soul cultivators in the mortal realm.

The two members of the Ye family with five spiritual roots and golden cores, along with Ye Haicheng and other clansmen, arrived.

They all went in and tried it out, but those two with five spiritual roots seemed to lack cultivation and strength, only managing to cultivate five-attribute techniques up to the peak of the Void Refinement stage, which was even inferior to the Five Spirit True Scripture.

"It seems that the greatest inheritance here is out of our reach!" Ye Qingnian noticed that the ripples at the entrance of the secret realm had begun to fade.

This means that the secret realm has almost reached its limit.

Fortunately, the biggest goal has been achieved this time.

They also obtained two cultivation techniques that reached the late stage of the Body Integration Realm, three cultivation techniques that reached the early stage of the Body Integration Realm, and five cultivation techniques that reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.

In terms of treasures, they also obtained two ancient treasures and thirteen fifth-tier magic treasures.

Among the fifth-tier magic treasures, there were six top-grade fifth-tier treasures.

There are only two pieces of the fifth-tier low-grade quality.

The gains from the Five Spirits Sect's inheritance are already not much less than those from the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace.

The only problem is that no spiritual treasures or heaven-reaching spiritual treasures have appeared yet.

This left the Ye family members somewhat disappointed.

Moreover, in the lineage of tobacco cultivation, not a single person meets the criteria for inheritance; they are all simply ineligible.

"Wait a while, I think we can get in!" Just as the Ye family was about to leave, the Sky-Splitting Earthworm, who had been watching the Vortex Secret Realm, suddenly spoke up.

"If you get inside, can you break the teleportation array?" And it looked directly at the peach wood.

After the Ye family discussed it, they learned that the cultivation techniques passed down here were related to their master's cultivation.

They naturally take it very seriously.

The Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm cultivates the Heaven-Refining Spiritual Scripture and is extremely skilled in breaking through spatial realms.

After the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit broke through to the fifth level, it often sparred with the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit.

It's not a battle of combat power or a clash of techniques, but rather a matter of breaking into the void and prohibiting entry into the void.

This secret realm must also be located within the secret realm space.

However, it restricts entry to cultivators only, and prohibits demonic beasts and wood spirits from entering.

"I can break it!" The peach wood spirit nodded directly.

If the Sky-Splitting Earthworm can take it in, it can break the teleportation array.

As the peach wood spirit and the sky-splitting earthworm conversed, Ye Jingyu and Ye Qingnian were filled with shock.

That shock quickly turned into delight.

The feeling was indescribable, making them feel as if it were not real.

But they knew very well that although Tao Mu couldn't set up formations, he was the Ye family's most skilled expert at breaking them.

Its innate spiritual root can find the location of the base of any formation. Once it penetrates the base, it will be unable to teleport them out.

"We can also provide fifth-tier formation-breaking talismans!" Ye Jingyu said repeatedly.

Because of the peach wood, the Ye family didn't have to go to great lengths to find a sixth-order formation-breaking talisman.

After all, the Earthly Immortal Realm is mainly for inheritance, so the formations won't be too strong, and there's also peach wood to break the formations.

However, Ye Yunxuan already had the ability to refine fifth-tier formation-breaking talismans, so he did not lack them.

It's just that spiritual materials are quite rare, and the Ye family doesn't have many of them. But this is certainly not the time to be stingy with formation-breaking talismans.

Obtaining the greatest inheritance from the Immortal Realm this time is their most important goal.

Next, all the Ye family members waited on the perimeter, forming a circle, waiting for the Sky-Splitting Earthworm to sense their presence.

At this moment, the Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm had transformed into its true form, resembling a dragon, yet with some differences.

It has no claws, only a single horn.

It doesn't even qualify as a tail.

It sometimes enters from the void, and sometimes it disappears.

The blazing sun in the sky has, without anyone noticing, been replaced by the bright moon.

At the same time, everyone noticed that firelight had appeared on the distant mountains, and maple trees were quietly emerging.

They realized that the formation was probably gradually closing.

This made them anxious for a while longer.

They are not afraid of the outer array being shut down; what they fear is the closure of the entrance to this secret realm.

That would probably make things even more difficult for the Sky-Splitting Earthworm.

"It's ready!" The next moment, the Sky-Splitting Earthworm suddenly spoke excitedly.

Its body was now covered in spiritual light.

This grayish-white light is somewhat similar to, yet different from, the bright moonlight.

Only the shimmering spiritual patterns on it were exceptionally mysterious and extraordinary.

"Haicheng and I will go in; you guys wait outside," Ye Jingyu said.

Although Ye Qingnian was the head of the family at this moment, how could he let Ye Qingnian take risks?

There's no telling whether there will be any danger from such a forced entry.

He himself was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Haicheng was a body cultivator, and there were also many puppets.

"With me included, I have five spiritual roots!" Ye Tengchuan stepped forward at this moment.

Although his cultivation level was the lowest among them, he now sincerely felt that he had truly become a member of the core decision-making elders of the Ye family.

This made him feel a tremendous sense of responsibility.

Yet it also inspired him to continue forging ahead.

This time, Ye Jingyu did not refuse, and Ye Qingnian wanted to speak.

However, they found that Ye Jingyu and Ye Haicheng both had expressions that left no room for refusal.

Although Ye Qingnian feared his father, he was actually more afraid of Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingyu.

His experience as head of the family was almost entirely taught to him by the two of them.

Finally, he moved his throat, but still didn't voice his differing opinion.

Seeing that the Ye family had made their decision, the Sky-Splitting Earthworm began to emit a special spiritual light from its single horn.

The light suddenly pierced into a spot high above the lake.

This place seemed ordinary, but with the impact, most of it entered the void.

Ye Haicheng, Ye Tengchuan, Ye Jingyu, and the peach wood landed on its body and followed it into the void.

Once they entered the void, they saw a huge herb garden, and in the center of the garden was a massive palace.

The palace is spacious, tall, and magnificent.

It is many times better than the various temples built by the Ye family.

And it also carries a special feeling.

Many medicinal herbs are also planted in the herb garden.

"Those are the Rejuvenating Heavenly Ginseng Fruit, the Heavenly Illusion Silver Jade Flower, and the spiritual materials for the Three Jade Divine Essence Pill..." At this moment, even Ye Jingyu was overjoyed.

These spiritual herbs include those that can enhance cultivation and those that can help one break through to the Nascent Soul stage, although their quantity is not large.

But any one of them could cause sects of the Nascent Soul stage to fight tooth and nail for it.

Previously, Medicine King Valley almost perished in the Earthly Immortal Realm just because they stole a Qing Shen Fruit tree, which wasn't even one of the three main ingredients for the Yuan Shen Pill.

That alone is enough to tell how much we've gained this time.

At that very moment, the palace began to radiate a layer of spiritual light.

Finally, it transformed into a beam of light and shot towards the group.

"This is a teleportation array!" As an array master, Ye Jingyu immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the teleportation light and quickly retreated to warn him.

At the same time, several formation-breaking talismans were also thrown out.

At this moment, the peach wood also transformed into its true form.

The enormous torso fell into the void, as if connecting heaven and earth.

A huge golden root suddenly pierced through the void, heading straight for a spot in the void.

At the same time, another root pierced towards a golden glazed tile in the palace.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the teleportation light finally dissipated as it landed in front of everyone.

This made the group breathe a sigh of relief.

If they were to be teleported out, then all those spiritual herbs they saw would have been for nothing.

They even suspected that by the time they got out, they wouldn't be able to see the entrance to the secret realm anymore.

"Let's go to the Five Spirits Palace first!" The palace's name is indeed the Five Spirits Palace.

Previously, when they entered, they couldn't see the outside of the palace, since entering meant entering the Five Spirits Palace.

During this period, one cannot leave the palace, nor can one use divine sense to probe.

The three people and two demons quickly arrived in front of the palace.

Because the teleportation array was destroyed, the group was able to enter the palace smoothly.

I saw the Eight Immortals table, the Five Spirits statues, and the prayer cushions.

There was no ball of light on the table, no incense in the incense burner, and not even any incense ash.

“This palace might be haunted,” Ye Jingyu said directly.

He hoped the latter would honestly hand over the inheritance, so as not to hinder them from continuing to search for the successor of the Five Spirits Sect.

As for dignity, he only gives it to those who want it, whether they are demons or humans.

So he directly transmitted his voice into the void.

But it had no effect. He then took out the incense, but saw neither sandalwood smoke nor any smoke technique inheritance.

At this moment, the peach wood once again extended its natal spiritual root and poked at the five spirit statues.

Meanwhile, the Sky-Splitting Earthworm began to radiate spiritual light, and the next moment, another secret realm entrance appeared.

Three people and two demons entered.

There were more than eighty orbs of light inside.

There were more than sixty jade slip light clusters, but only a dozen or so treasure light clusters remained.

One of the orbs of light contained a treasure that was none other than a top-grade spiritual treasure.

Of course, the last thing everyone looked at was one of the jade slips!
