Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1647 The Three Great Patrol Teams Maha Stone

The morning breeze wafted in from afar, and the crimson sun rose over the distant mountains.

The markets and neighborhoods of Sanyuan City were already bustling with activity early on.

Shops, restaurants, and squares were filled with cultivators whom ordinary people could only look up to.

At this moment, those who have mastered Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment can only proceed cautiously, while those who have mastered the Purple Mansion Golden Core can only stand up slightly.

Only those at the Nascent Soul stage can be a little bit arrogant.

Every now and then, a group of cultivators dressed in special armor would ride huge Azure Wind Wolves and patrol the streets.

This also drew the attention of many cultivators.

"The Ye family's Green Wolf Team is truly impressive, led by Golden Core cultivators, with Purple Mansion cultivators as members, and Foundation Establishment cultivators can only be considered as reserves."

"And that Azure Wind Demon Wolf, its thick azure fur is filled with wind-attribute fluctuations, and its sharp fangs gleam with a cold light, it must be formidable in combat!"

"That's for sure. The Ye family is now the number one immortal clan in the Great Yu. It's said that the Ye family's Foreign Affairs Department has ten spots for the Wolf Team, and the cultivators from the Ye family's Foreign Affairs Department almost fought to the death for it!"

"Every cultivator inside can fight beyond their own level, not just beyond the level of ordinary cultivators like us, but beyond the level of cultivators from truly powerful clans!"

Whispers and whispers rose from the crowd.

Although the murmurs were quiet, Ye Tenghong, as one of the captains of the Wolf Team, heard them clearly.

He didn't stop it; instead, he was exceptionally proud.

This is also a newly launched patrol team by the Ye family.

The Ye family's patrol team is divided into three teams: the Wolf Team, the Lion Team, and the Peng Team.

The wolf pack members are equipped with Azure Wind Demon Wolves from the Azure Wind Wolf Plains of the Taihang Mountains.

The demon wolves of this tribe are incredibly fast, moving like the wind.

Given his suitable physique, he was put in charge of patrolling the city.

The Lion Team members are equipped with Four Mystic Ancient Lions. This clan was acquired by the Ye family in the Taiyuan Realm. They are well-rounded in both offense and defense, and their combat power is extremely strong. Their descendants come from that sixth-tier Four Mystic Ancient Lion Demon Saint.

The Ye family then used it to patrol the vast area surrounding Sanyuan City.

Within the Ye family's Sanyuan City market area, fighting is prohibited within a radius of ten thousand miles.

The final Peng team consisted of spirit beasts from the Three-Eyed Peng clan.

This group was the first to be subdued by the Ye family.

Therefore, the Peng team is the most mysterious of the three teams in Tianyuan City, and they are often responsible for providing support.

"Although there have never been any problems since the establishment of Sanyuan City, this time there are more than 400,000 cultivators, and the Nascent Soul Trading Conference will be held soon. You must not slack off!" Ye Tenghong transmitted his voice to the rest of the Wolf Clan.

"Don't worry, Captain!" Everyone patted the Azure Wind Wolf on the back, prompting the Azure Wind Demon Wolves to growl in response.

They know what this means.

They don't join the Wolf Team easily; it requires layers of selection, and they must be at least members of the Ye family's inner circle or the strongest fighters from the Ye family's external affairs building.

Currently, the Ye family's three patrol teams belong to the newly established Hidden Punishment Hall of the Ye family.

The Ye family currently has more than just the Wolves, Lions, and Peng teams.

For cultivators outside the sect, they only know about these three teams.

The three brigades currently have a total of only 180 formal cultivators.

Each brigade has sixty people, and each brigade is further divided into three squads.

Ordinary early and mid-stage Golden Core cultivators can only be team leaders.

Ye Tenghong was such a squad leader, a squad leader who was successfully selected after defeating three or four other people of the same rank.

Ye Tenghong also looked towards the center of Sanyuan City, gave it a respectful look, and then led his team through the crowd to inspect the entire city!
He knew that this Nascent Soul Cultivation Conference was related to the Ye family's fortune for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to come.

Of course, he can't handle big matters; those are beyond his level of understanding.

But he can manage any unexpected incidents that occur within the city, manage any fighting or disputes, and ensure the safety of every cultivator who enters.

The Ye family is not just the Ye family of the absolute top echelons, but also the Ye family of all its members!

……

At this moment, in the center of Sanyuan City, in front of a magnificent golden hall, cultivators were walking towards it.

These cultivators possessed an otherworldly aura, yet none of them exhibited any fluctuations in cultivation level. They walked the streets like ordinary mortals.

No one dared to look these people in the eye, because those who could get here were either Nascent Soul cultivators, or peak Nascent Soul cultivators or representative cultivators from Nascent Soul families or sects.

The cultivators guarding the entrance were none other than Ye Haihe and Ye Tengming.

"Senior Yunsha, please come in!" The cultivator who came in at this moment was none other than Yunsha Divine Lord, who was wearing a purple robe.

"A body cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and a lightning cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage who is less than two hundred years old—the Ye family truly has countless geniuses and outstanding talents, which is truly enviable." Yunsha Divine Lord rarely joked with Nascent Soul cultivators, which also amazed the other Nascent Soul cultivators from major forces who walked by.

But considering that the people in front of them were members of the Ye family, they felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, they discovered that Ye Haihe's aura was as restrained as that of an ancient behemoth that could erupt at any moment, and the terrifying power contained in his body startled even these Nascent Soul cultivators.

Ye Tengming and the others next to him were quite familiar with him, but the lightning attribute fluctuations emanating from the other party at this moment were also particularly frightening, and judging from that aura, he was probably not far from breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This cultivation speed is truly terrifying.

Unfortunately, they also knew that the Ye family had two terrifying sword cultivators, as well as many geniuses who were skilled in creating spirit puppets, spirit talismans, and controlling insects.

They were even more shocked.

No wonder the Ye family was able to establish such a grand Sanyuan Holy City.

The Ye family not only possesses terrifying combat power and countless powerful high-level demon race members, but also a continuous stream of talented cultivators!

"Senior Yunsha, you flatter me. My ancestor is entertaining other seniors inside and was unable to greet you properly. Please forgive me," Ye Tengming said, bowing repeatedly.

Lord Yunsha waved his hand, naturally not caring, but without much pleasantries, he entered the hall.

Upon entering the hall, he discovered that he had entered a hidden paradise.

Inside the cave is a large lake, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

In the lake, there are many pavilions, and in the middle of the pavilions are stone corridors, which are very similar to the venue of the Nascent Soul Ceremony they held back then.

Although it was a Nascent Soul Cultivation Conference, many of the Nascent Soul cultivators were unwilling to reveal their identities, and this pavilion, which allowed them to teleport out at any time, was the most suitable for them.

On the only way to the Spirit Lake, two huge wooden willow trees swayed their branches, and Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu stood in front of the passage.

"Fellow Daoist Yunsha, please come in!" Ye Jingcheng also extended a warm invitation.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's supernatural powers are becoming more and more powerful, which makes us old men feel ashamed." Yunsha Divine Lord hadn't felt anything when facing Ye Jingcheng before, but now he found that Ye Jingcheng's aura seemed to have become exceptionally mysterious. Not only could he not see through it, but he also felt extremely uneasy.

You should know that after he consumed the Three Jade Divine Essence Pill, he also broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. After participating in this Nascent Soul ceremony, he also planned to sneak away.

He had previously entrusted Ye Jingcheng to refine the Nascent Soul Pill, and now someone from the Zisha Sect had also broken through. It's highly likely that even if he smuggled himself in, the Zisha Sect will still have two Nascent Soul cultivators, plus a sixth-tier spirit puppet and a demon saint. Even if the Zisha Sect's status doesn't surpass that of the Ye family in the future, it won't be affected by his smuggling.

"I just happened to have mastered a secret technique these past few days." Ye Jingcheng knew that this was what Yunsha Shenjun had met with Ye Jingyu before.

The latter uses the Simulated Yuan Pill to simulate the aura of Ye Jingcheng from a hundred years ago.

This naturally surprised Lord Yunsha.

Of course, this means that the Cloud Sand God Lord's combat power and perception are still very strong.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen is also going to sneak across?" Lord Yunsha asked with some curiosity.

In his view, Ye Jingcheng was still exceptionally young and an alchemist, so he could easily reach the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before secretly advancing to the next level.

"That's not the reason. It's just that after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it's difficult to improve one's cultivation level. There's always something I need to do," Ye Jingcheng replied vaguely, inviting the latter into a pavilion.

These pavilions would be hidden by the mist once a cultivator was present.

When the time came, there were already seventy-three pavilions in the lake occupied by monks.

Twenty-eight of the pavilions were occupied by Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as representatives from those Transformation Immortal Clan or Immortal Sects.

Their respective Nascent Soul cultivators are unable to come due to seclusion or other important matters, but if they want to know about some important events in the cultivation world recently, or to make some transactions, they will send their top Nascent Soul cultivators over.

Since there are not many Nascent Soul cultivators to begin with, the Nascent Soul Assembly has always allowed these cultivators to attend.

The reason why some pavilions concealed their identities was largely due to them.

Of course, what surprised Ye Jingcheng the most was that the remaining forty-five pavilions did not necessarily represent forty-five Nascent Soul cultivators.

Among them were nine demon saints.

Most of these nine demon saints came from the Myriad Demon Alliance of the Mortal Realm, while a few came from the Heavenly Insect Realm.

At the same time, to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the remaining three sixth-level alchemists were also all present.

I participated in this God Transformation Trading Conference.

"The time is almost here, let's begin the Nascent Soul Ceremony!" Ye Jingcheng glanced at Ye Jingyu, then stepped into the lake.

He then looked around before slowly transmitting his voice to all the pavilions.

"Fellow Daoists, welcome to Sanyuan City of the Great Yu Realm. I am Ye Jingcheng of the Ye family. I am fortunate to have been valued by the great sects such as Fellow Daoist Yunsha and Fellow Daoist Lingduan. Today, the Nascent Soul Assembly is being held at the Ye family."

"Alright, I won't waste any more time. Let's talk about the matter of smuggling, which is what everyone is most concerned about..." Ye Jingcheng slowly began to recount the story of Zheng Yuan Shenjun's smuggling, which he had mentioned once before.

Because once the trade fair begins, some cultivators may be able to teleport away directly through the pavilion.

Therefore, the sermons and the matter of illegal immigration will definitely be discussed in advance.

This is also the consensus reached at the trade conference.

After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, the other cultivators began to elaborate.

Of course, this is mostly said by those at the Nascent Soul stage; the Nascent Soul cultivators only attend the trade fair.

As for sharing, it was rather superficial.

Only when a few or a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators are exchanging ideas, because they are in an alliance, will they discuss things in more depth.

As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Ye Jingcheng only listened to the sharing of others, though some of it was beneficial to him, there was really not much.

After all, he was cultivating immortal scriptures.

He learned quite a bit more about smuggling.

In the past three hundred years, a total of fifteen cultivators have smuggled themselves into the Ten Realms and Eleven Mysterious Realms.

Among them, the Divine Lord Miaoyuan of the Heavenly Beast Sect had already secretly crossed the border.

The Soul Slip showed that seven people were still alive, which was much more than the number the Smuggling Alliance had previously inquired about, and also much more comprehensive.

This made Ye Jingcheng even more suspicious that the Jade Soul Clan had imprisoned some of the cultivators who had successfully smuggled themselves in.

Then let more Nascent Soul cultivators sneak across the border.

"This Jade Soul Clan truly deserves to die!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

The human race now is truly like a cultivated elixir.

They were sent to the spirit world.

The definition of whether a spiritual medicine is mature or not is simply whether it can reach the spirit world.

When it arrives, it will be ripe.

Of course, he also knew that the other party was waiting for someone from the Ye family to bring the Beast-Connecting Tower into the Spirit Realm.

This is also why the Beast Pit is said to never ascend to the upper realm, as stated in the Ye family's ancestral precepts.

"Alright, let's begin the trade fair..." Ye Jingcheng then took out sixth-grade spirit pills and longevity peaches to exchange for the spiritual materials and medicines he needed.

Having already acquired quite a few before, Ye Jingcheng didn't have particularly high expectations.

After all, the more you go, the more precious the rare medicinal herbs and materials you find become.

"I have this kind of magic stone, I wonder if it is your Maha Stone!" Just as Ye Jingcheng was still searching for advanced spiritual materials, a voice transmission sounded.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng greatly, as the Maha Stone was an essential spiritual material for the Maha Ancient Seal of the Three-Headed Ancient Demon Clan.

This spiritual seal is crucial; it allows one to be resurrected.

Ye Jingcheng had been searching for three or four hundred years without any news, so the sudden appearance of the news naturally surprised him.

"I obtained this stone from an ancient demon, who treasured it and hid it within his skeleton." The cultivator continued to transmit his voice, also sending a visual image to Ye Jingcheng!
The Ye family's pavilion is the same as the pavilions in the Zisha (purple clay) industry. There is a stone table in the middle where treasures are placed. Specific people can view them and exchange them.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng saw that the dark blue stone was covered with strange spiritual patterns.

These spirit patterns are somewhat similar to the demonic patterns on the three ancient demons.

Although he didn't summon the three ancient demons to examine it, he was already fairly certain that this was the Maha Stone.

With the Maha Stone, along with other spiritual materials, it is entirely possible to refine the Maha Ancient Seal.

For Ye Jingcheng, this could save his life, whether for himself or for Ye Qingnian.

Of course, the prerequisite is to communicate with the ancient demon Gamora.

"This is just a spiritual material; it can be exchanged for a longevity spiritual fruit or half a spiritual pill," Ye Jingcheng said directly.

Exchanging half a spirit pill means that another sixth-grade spirit medicine or material needs to be extracted.

Of course, the requirements for what is taken out again don't need to be so strict. It doesn't have to be what Ye Jingcheng needs, but its value must be equivalent.

Therefore, after the latter took out a sixth-grade spiritual medicine, he successfully exchanged it for Ye Jingcheng's Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill.

He also discovered that since Spirit Forging God Lord exchanged the Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill for it, and Cloud Sand God Lord also broke through, the reputation of this pill has greatly increased, and its value has far exceeded that of the other two types of sixth-grade low-grade spirit pills.
