CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 438: ON THE MANSION SPIRIT, A NEW IDENTITY (DOUBLE-LENGTH)

In addition, this time the Celestial Worm Ascendant also tested Ye Jingcheng.

It is estimated that everyone is suspicious whether the Ye Family are descendants of the Beast Desolate Wasteland.

How could descendants of the Beast Desolate Wasteland be astonished by some Spirit Insects and Insect Arrays?

Especially the changes in the Tianzhen Ascendant, which are probably related to this.

He is a registered disciple of Master Tianfu. If he doesn’t have the identity of the Beast Desolate, that counts as having a proper background.

"Patriarch, are you alright?" Ye Jingcheng shook his head, about to return, when Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun expressed concern.

At the same time, Ye Jingyong also stepped out from the side.

They knew that it was Ye Jingcheng who shielded them from the residual power.

Plus, the Tianzhen Ascendant even gave him a Spirit Pill.

This indicates that Ye Jingcheng’s injuries are particularly severe.

"Patriarch, you don’t need to do that. You’re more important to the Ye Family," Ye Jingyong also spoke up.

"Second Brother, it’s really not as severe as you imagine, and the Tianzhen Ascendant gave a Spirit Pill," Ye Jingcheng said with a bitter smile.

Of course, he felt a warmth in his heart.

The family is what gives him a sense of security, just like this.

After explaining for a while, the Ye Family members finally believed him, and Ye Jingcheng could finally extricate himself.

At this moment, he walked directly toward Lingyun Lake at the mountain top of the family. He had sensed earlier that his Golden Falcon was above Lingyun Lake.

The Golden Falcon was lent to Ye Xingqun, and now being above Lingyun Lake could only mean Ye Haicheng and Turtle Ancestor were there.

Ye Jingcheng then ventured onto Lingyun Lake.

Lingyun Lake in summer is the clearest, reflecting the dark sky; even the scattered stars that appeared in advance were reflected in the lake.

The distant glaciers started to melt, causing the water level of Lingyun Lake to slowly rise.

The sound of flowing water dominated the night at Lingyun Lake.

It felt peculiarly serene and exceptionally beautiful.

Soon, the lake parted into two, revealing a staircase that led to a hidden dark hall inside.

Ye Jingcheng left several Five Poison Bees outside the lake before directly entering the dark hall beneath it.

The Golden Falcon had impressively landed inside, along with Ye Haicheng and Turtle Ancestor.

It was apparent that the two had been waiting here early; they hadn’t shown themselves because the Tianzhen Ascendant had arrived.

"Great Grandfather," Ye Jingcheng cupped his fists once more.

"You did well, and your guess was right. I intercepted the Yuan Family cultivators who infiltrated the Taihang Mountain Range," Ye Haicheng instructed Ye Jingcheng to sit beside him.

Then he also handed a Storage Bag and a Jade Talisman to Ye Jingcheng.

"These are for you; within the Jade Talisman are the materials needed for the Celestial River Bead and Blazing Flame Fan. These two treasures have gathered most of the materials on my side; the remaining materials should be exchanged via Ye Jingteng," Ye Haicheng said.

Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this, then opened the Storage Bag, which contained not only a Spirit-Resolving Net Magical Treasure but also a Tier Three Array Disc.

"Great Grandfather..."

"This Magical Treasure belongs to the Yuan Family and is of no use to me as a Body Cultivator; the Array and Array Disc are what you need right now. Remember, never let your guard down against your enemies!" Ye Haicheng warned again.

Now, Ye Jingcheng represents the Ye Family in the Yan Kingdom, presenting an impressive image.

But precisely because of this, he worried Ye Jingcheng might become arrogant and complacent.

Currently, the Taiyi Sect’s True Monarch reappears, logically allowing the Ye Family stability for a while.

Yet, at this moment, all the affiliated clans will show their teeth, seeking to divide the vacant benefits of the Taihang Commandery.

After all, in his view, Ye Jingcheng is now one and a half years away from turning sixty.

In mortal terms, this age is considered the age of retirement, but for a cultivator, especially a Purple Mansion cultivator, he’s almost like a child.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, deeply remembering Ye Haicheng’s advice.

The family is at a crucial juncture and must not encounter issues.

Currently, the family cannot cover for him.

Even if Ye Xuecang makes a breakthrough, caution is still necessary; more prudence is required.

Besides these two items, the Storage Bag contained some Jade Talismans, which were somewhat peculiar.

"These are secret letters between the Yuan Family and Qinghe Sect," Ye Haicheng explained.

This puzzled Ye Jingcheng.

But soon, Ye Jingcheng understood; the Yuan Family was concerned that the Qinghe Sect might finish using them and discard, even destroy them!

So they intentionally left some evidence, ensuring the Qinghe Sect would be courteous to the Yuan Family unless they don’t mind acquiring the Demon Sect’s reputation.

However, the items fell into Ye Family’s hands now.

Whether to expose the Yuan Family became a question.

Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Haicheng, but the latter also calmly looked back at him.

Evidently, the decisions within the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom were his to make.

Ultimately, Ye Jingcheng decided not to expose the Yuan Family.

It’s that simple: having the Yuan Family there is like a bright pearl, drawing all attention in the Taihang Commandery.

Such circumstances best facilitate the Ye Family’s development.

"Great Grandfather, in my Purple Mansion, Spirit Shadows have appeared and can manifest in the Magical Treasures. What causes this?" Ye Jingcheng asked after examining the contents of the Storage Bag.

The ancient books of the Ye family should be at Hidden Peak, so even if Ye Jingcheng wanted to gather knowledge above the Purple Mansion level, it wasn’t easy.

With these words, Ye Haicheng’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, prompting Ye Jingcheng to demonstrate for him to see.

Ye Jingcheng concealed nothing.

Sure enough, after seeing the Firebird and Water Flood Dragon Spirit Shadows, Ye Haicheng’s face was full of joy and surprise.

"This is Mansion Spirit, also known as Dao Shadow, an immensely fortunate occurrence; Mansion Spirits generally only emerge from Celestial Spirit Roots, demanding high purity and strength of Spiritual Energy!" Ye Haicheng continued to explain, even his tone changed.

"It is known that the Purple Mansion nurtures treasures, and Golden Core nurtures techniques. Treasures can be nurtured in the Purple Mansion without restrictions, but techniques cannot unless one possesses extraordinary talent!"

"Because nurturing Secret Techniques in the Golden Core to form Divine Techniques is often an impossibility for many, but with Mansion Spirit, it’s almost guaranteed!" Ye Haicheng finished, his eyes expressing much envy.

He naturally has no Mansion Spirit.

"Great Grandfather, this Mansion Spirit seems to be able to merge into Magical Treasures, enhancing their power!" Ye Jingcheng also added.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haicheng felt a bit puzzled but soon his envy and pride grew.

His understanding of Mansion Spirits is mostly hearsay, not deeply knowledgeable.

This indicates Ye Jingcheng possesses greater strength.

"Then you gather materials quickly. Over here, I’ll use Transmission to communicate with the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, ensuring we gather all the materials for these two Purple Mansion Treasures promptly. Plus, refine the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid more; your Fourth Brother recently reached Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and several over at Hidden Peak are about to break through," Ye Haicheng expressed even more confidence in the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique.

He well knew Ye Jingcheng’s Four Spirit Roots naturally lacked such high purity, indicating only one possibility: that the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique was truly powerful.

"Additionally, these are some references on the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain. Look through them; familiarize yourself with the new identity the family assigned to you," Ye Haicheng finally handed Ye Jingcheng another Jade Talisman.

This Jade Talisman was different from the previous one; it was a one-time-use Talisman.

Only viewable once; post-viewing, it would self-destruct.

Its contents are highly significant, relating to the Ye Family’s arrangements for the East Sea and even future development.

Obviously, Ye Jingcheng was very interested in this too.

The Ye Family in Cyan Cloud Sea Domain doesn’t operate under the Ye Family name.

Instead, it presents itself as a Purple Mansion Sect, having recruited many loose cultivators, whose sensitivity to identity is low.

Moreover, Ye Family’s Hidden Peak cultivators used the Bone Transformation Pill to assume the guise of former Mo Family cultivators, thus maintaining discretion in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

The sect’s rules are loose, leading to a varied and numerous group of cultivators.

Ye Family cultivators mingled among those recruited externally.

These external recruits naturally couldn’t penetrate Ye Family’s core.

And Ye Jingcheng’s current identity is that of a loose cultivator who accidentally broke through to the Purple Mansion, complete with past achievements, mindset, and treasures.
