Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1642 The Rift-Universe Horned Beast Asks Uncle Long to Become a Saint (Part 2, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

In the following time, the Dream-Eating Insect displayed many abilities: entering dreams to search for souls, using soul-stirring sounds, terrifying speed, and isolating the soul.

This made Ye Jingcheng even happier.

It was worth it for the Dream-Devouring Worm to have devoured so many powerful divine souls and consumed the advancement pill.

The black mist dissipated, and the Dream-Eating Insect returned to its original form. Its thin feathers unfurled, transforming into a black shadow that landed on Ye Jingcheng's shoulder.

Like the Crimson Flame Fox, the Dream Devouring Insect also relies heavily on Ye Jingcheng. Even after breaking through to the sixth rank, it still prefers to rest on his shoulder.

Ye Jingcheng also raised his other hand and slowly inputted the precious light.

Firstly, it restores the Dream-Eating Insect's energy reserves; secondly, it eliminates the hidden injuries the Dream-Eating Insect sustained during the lightning tribulation.

Although the Thunder Marrow Liquid in the Thunder Tribulation Pool has the effect of restoring the physical body and refining the soul, the Treasure Light is not a rare item for Ye Jingcheng. Naturally, it would be better to add some Treasure Light to the Dream Devouring Insect just in case.

When the Dream-Swallowing Insect emitted a low hissing sound and its breath became longer, Ye Jingcheng took out a fragment of purple jade.

Upon seeing the fragments of purple jade, the Dream-Eating Worm's compound eyes flashed with spiritual light, and the Nightmare Ghost Pattern on its abdomen seemed to come alive, throbbing and twitching menacingly.

Its enormous mouthparts began to move rapidly, revealing its deepest desire.

"Eat it!" Ye Jingcheng didn't expect the Dream-Eating Worm to have this reaction.

He then waved his hand, letting the dream-devouring insects devour him.

After the dream-devouring insect was swallowed, black light began to spread shortly afterward.

The black light enveloped Ye Jingcheng, and at this moment, his thoughts became hazy. He felt as if he had become Yu An of the Jade Soul Clan.

"Unfortunately, the special visualization soul-nourishing method is still good, but it is not suitable for our human race." After a long time, Ye Jingcheng shook his head. The memories in this purple jade fragment were all trivial things about the Jade Soul Clan's cultivation, and they were not long. Moreover, too much of them had been worn away by time.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng did not obtain any useful information.

Of course, the fact that this Soul Jade fragment was found inside a spatial rift is enough to prove that the souls of the Jade Soul Clan are powerful.

Ye Jingcheng then took out a second fragment of purple jade.

However, after swallowing the dream, the same thing happened.

It was also a scene from his childhood, but to his surprise, the Jade Soul Clan was actually formed from a jade vein.

Once it gains sentience, it will separate from the jade vein.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but think of his own Frost Marrow Jade Spirit, which came from a ten-thousand-year-old Frost Marrow Jade Mine. Perhaps it could also cultivate the Jade Soul Clan's methods.

However, the fragmented memories were too fragmented, and even though the Dream-Eating Worm's Dream-Eating and Soul-Searching abilities were already very powerful, it still couldn't obtain a complete cultivation method.

Ye Jingcheng could only retrieve the last fragment of the Soul Jade.

Once the Dream-Eating Insects absorbed it, it was enveloped in black light.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, this time, it was indeed a memory about the lower realm.

This time, the Jade Soul Clan sent down to the mortal realm with five members of the Purple Jade Clan, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of human cultivators.

They entered the Earthly Immortal Realm through a special array in a special secret realm, but unexpectedly, a member of the Jade Soul Clan perished as soon as they entered.

The core of the purple jade collapsed and disappeared into the void turbulence.

When they sensed the node, a giant unicorn tiger suddenly appeared in the void.

My memories end abruptly here.

"This is..." Ye Jingcheng's mind was filled with the image of that one-horned tiger.

Because he didn't have many memories, after pondering and thinking it over repeatedly, he discovered that it was somewhat similar to the true spirit of the Rift Horned Beast.

Moreover, since there wasn't a single breath left, the Jade Soul Clan he was searching for had probably perished, making it even more impossible for Ye Jingcheng to assess their strength.

Normally, it should be either fifth or sixth order.

However, for most mythical beasts that traverse the void and roam the heavens and earth, they are not necessarily limited by the boundaries between the spiritual and mortal realms.

However, for the Ye family, this is definitely good news.

With a strange beast blocking the way, the Jade Soul Clan can forget about sending down any more fifth-tier Jade Soul Clan members.

Although the sixth-order Jade Soul Clan may not be afraid of this strange beast that resembles the Rift Universe Horned Beast, the sixth-order Jade Soul Clan cannot enter the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Naturally, it could not threaten the Ye family in the mortal realm in a short period of time.

"Could this be something left behind by the Tianxuan Ye family..." Ye Jingcheng then became curious again.

If it was left behind by the Ye family of Tianxuan, it would definitely be good news for the Ye family.

Perhaps in the future, some members of the Ye family will be able to enter and subdue them.

But what he feared was that the Rift Horned Beast had always been there.

Even many members of the Ye family may have died in the process.

After all, judging from the current state of the Ye family's lineage, a significant portion of their traditions have been lost.

Sects such as the Soul Driving faction of the Heavenly Beast Sect and the Armored Beast faction of the Flying Zombie Sect have inherited their traditions well.

On the contrary, they seem to be carrying on the tradition.

Ye Jingcheng then shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

If he could still enter the Earthly Immortal Realm, he could investigate, but now that he can't, and the Sky-Splitting Earthworm hasn't found the latter yet, it's too difficult to verify.

Sending the rest of the Ye family would be too dangerous.

Fortunately, knowing that the Jade Soul Clan was unlikely to reach the Earthly Immortal Realm directly and instead infiltrated the mortal realm was already good news for the Ye family.

"It's time to prepare for the next breakthrough!" Ye Jingcheng murmured.

After much deliberation, he decided to take the lead in switching to cultivation techniques.

Fortunately, he was an alchemist. Although switching to a different cultivation method would require him to start over, with the help of elixirs and spirit beasts, Ye Jingcheng estimated that he could recover his cultivation in ten or twenty years.

Over the next seventy years, he broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although he was a bit rushed, he now has four Three Jade Divine Essence Pills, a considerable number of Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pills and Heavenly Palace Pills, and Profound Clarity Armor Essence Pills. Even if he shares some with the Qingqiu Fox Saint, it will definitely be enough.

However, one's cultivation level will inevitably be somewhat unstable at that time.

But time is a bit tight now, so it's fine if my cultivation level is too low.

Once they reach the spirit realm, they will definitely need to lie low for a considerable period of time, during which time they can be carefully refined.

Of course, he estimated that even if one were to cultivate the immortal scriptures superficially, it wouldn't be superficially superficial at all.

……

Having made his decision, Ye Jingcheng infused the spirit beasts, wood spirits, and medicinal herbs with precious light before leaving the cave.

The breakthrough of the Dream-Devouring Insect was still a topic of much discussion among the clansmen, and some clansmen even looked forward to the breakthroughs of the Golden Scale Beast and the Vermilion Flame.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.

He himself naturally hopes that both of them will advance and break through.

He was particularly curious about Zhu Yan, wondering if Zhu Yan's divine realm might exist in a divine realm that could break all laws.

Before long, Ye Jingcheng arrived at the main hall of the Tianying Peak family.

The family's main hall now sits on the mountainside of Tianying Peak, connected to the family's spiritual veins. The entire hall is constructed of warm jade and star ironwood, adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, and embellished with continuous spiritual patterns, exuding unparalleled grandeur. The hall has six stories, and the massive pillars supporting the hall are as thick as writhing dragons, their shafts wrapped with mysterious runes that sometimes emit a warm spiritual light, and at other times display strange beasts and phenomena.

Clearly, the family council hall has been recast over the years.

When Ye Jingcheng landed in front of the main hall, Ye Qingnian also came out.

"Father, you've emerged from seclusion?" Ye Qingnian teleported from Penglai Island.

Knowing that the Dream-Swallowing Insect had broken through and Ye Qingyan had also left his seclusion, he knew that Ye Jingcheng would definitely come out of seclusion.

Many cultivators in the Ye family have now broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and many more are preparing to break through.

Those who are preparing to break through are only missing the Nascent Soul Pill.

"Yes, the Nascent Soul Pill and the Primordial Spirit Pill are here. You can make the arrangements!" Ye Jingcheng entered the main hall, first activating the formation, and then handed a storage bag to Ye Qingnian.

Inside this storage bag were a total of eight Yuan Shen Pills and sixty Hua Ying Pills.

This time, he refined thirteen Yuan Shen Pills, but two of them were to be given to the Righteous Path Sect, one to the Purple Sand Sect, leaving only ten. In addition, Ye Qingyan and Zhu Luan's pills had already been given to each other, so only eight remained, which he handed over to Ye Qingnian for arrangement.

"Father, I plan to give one to Uncle Long, two to Feng'er, one to Ancestor Haicheng, one to Zhu Luan, and seal the rest away." Ye Qingnian's face was filled with joy after looking at the spirit pills. Eight Yuan Shen pills, if used well, could produce at least five sixth-level combatants.

Currently, the Ye family's most promising members for a breakthrough are Ye Haicheng, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Jingyu.

Ye Jingyu had already obtained a Yuan Shen Pill from Ye Jingcheng and had begun his breakthrough. He had now reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The ones who needed to break through were Ye Haicheng and Ye Qingfeng.

Besides these two, the Ye family has quite a few demonic beasts that can break through, such as the Zhu Luan, the Earth Dragon, the Crown Phoenix, as well as the Chenjing and Jinpeng clans.

However, clans such as the Chenjing Clan, the Jinpeng Clan, and the demon clans subdued by the Mu Family are definitely not qualified.

"There's no need to give any to Zhu Luan. Keep one for yourself, and seal the remaining three away." Ye Jingcheng nodded.

As he spoke, he took out a Three Jade Divine Essence Pill and two Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pills.

"Put these three spirit pills on the exchange list in the family's Beast Hall and let the family's Demon Saint exchange them. But for the Three Jade Divine Essence Pills, you should tell the Qingqiu Fox Saint in advance," Ye Jingcheng then instructed.

Although he himself had not seen the Earth Dragon or the Qingqiu Fox Saint for a long time, for the Ye family now, Ye Qingnian as the one who gave the pill was clearly better.

After all, a hundred years from now, he will be heading to the Spirit Realm, and Ye Qingnian will have to rely on himself to get to the Mortal Realm.

……

In Dragon Valley, the Earth Dragon Demon King landed under the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree. It transformed into a middle-aged man with a peaceful expression, carefully cultivating its breathing technique.

On its body, one can see a powerful spiritual energy that transforms into a dragon shadow, darting about everywhere.

Beside it, there was a special token at that moment.

This is precisely the order from the Beast Hall Master.

Although it seems incredibly powerful as the current Beast Hall Master, only it knows that its bloodline cannot advance any further. At the same time, four new sacred mountains have appeared in the Ye family, and there are many demon emperors waiting for the Primordial Spirit Pill.

It can be said that it has no advantages.

All it can do is cultivate diligently and strive to reach its peak condition.

It naturally had its doubts, but whenever it did, the image of Ye Jingcheng would appear in its mind.

Those doubts will vanish in an instant.

"Uncle Long?" At that moment, a voice rang out from outside the Beast Valley.

Ye Qingnian's figure also appeared in its consciousness.

It got up and came to Ye Qingnian.

"Master of the house."

Within the Ye family, he only addressed Ye Jingcheng as "Master," and naturally showed exceptional respect to Ye Jingcheng's descendants.

"Uncle Long, I wonder how things are going at the Beast Hall lately? Is there a Demon Emperor who is good at managing it?" Ye Qingnian asked.

Upon hearing this question, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was somewhat taken aback.

It felt as if its opportunity had come, but it was also a little worried because the person standing in front of it was not Ye Jingcheng.

But seeing the smile on Ye Qingnian's lips, it felt its heart start to race.

After a long pause, it finally answered:
"The Beast Hall is thriving recently, and the best managers are Vice Hall Master Qing Xuan and Zhu Zi, but Zhu Zi's cultivation is a bit lower..."

"Then let Qingxuan temporarily take over as the head of the Beast Hall. This nephew respectfully invites Uncle Long to go into seclusion, break through the Immortal Gate, and become a Dragon Saint!" Ye Qingnian smiled and cupped his hands, then handed over a storage bag to the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

The latter was still somewhat incredulous. It had originally thought it might have to wait for hundreds of years, but it never expected that it would receive a Yuan Shen Pill so quickly.

"Uncle Long, you also need to deduct your hall master token for me. I might still owe you some contribution points!" Ye Qingnian then said.

"Of course, of course!" The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was overjoyed when he saw the Primordial Spirit Pill.

He doesn't care if he owes hundreds of millions or billions of dollars for his contributions, let alone a few.

This is a primordial spirit pill that can help one break through to the level of a demon saint.

"Father also asked me to tell Uncle Long that he is waiting for your good news at Tianying Peak!" Ye Qingnian continued.

The Earth Dragon Demon King knelt down directly towards Ye Jingcheng's cave on Tianying Peak.

"Earth Dragon, I would never dare to disappoint my master..."

……

Above the desert, in a mortal oasis, in the center of the city, a middle-aged man is weaving a winnowing basket.

He wove very slowly, but countless mortals couldn't help but gather around him.

Because they had never seen such a beautiful winnowing basket before.

However, at that very moment, a ray of inspiration descended.

It flowed into the hands of the middle-aged man.

This immediately startled everyone around.

"Immortal Master, Immortal Master!" The mortals all knew that the person in front of them was the Immortal Master of Tianfeng Immortal Mountain.

The middle-aged man didn't hide anything; he simply looked at the radiant light and revealed a look of delight.

"It's already here so quickly." This person was none other than Ye Haicheng, who was tempering his heart in the mortal world.

Before entering the Earthly Immortal Realm, he had already broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The reason he didn't break through directly like Ye Jingyu was...

Firstly, there was no Yuan Shen Pill; secondly, the heart-training was insufficient. Now, with more than ten years of additional heart-training and the several lifetimes experienced in Tianhuan Valley, it is naturally sufficient.

"Although it's a bit rushed, it'll be good for Qingnian to keep a close eye on the family," Ye Haicheng murmured with a smile.

He did not intend to go to the spirit realm; Ye Qingnian was the only one in the mortal realm, and he was not entirely at ease with him.

He possessed the family's legacy of being a puppet general, and he was confident that he wouldn't encounter any problems in the mortal realm.

The only thing that troubled him was that the Ye family's puppet hall currently did not have any outstanding juniors.

"I hope someone has already been able to replicate the puppet tower I set up in the family." After saying this, Ye Haicheng transformed into a ray of light and flew into the sky.

What he didn't know was that the winnowing basket he left behind was sent to the Oasis Immortal Temple and began to receive incense offerings...
