However, when he perford the Earth Spike Skill and Cloud Fall Star Rock, there was nothing particularly special about them.
Even with the Spiritual Energy of the Stone Spirit, it rely ford a faint layer of starlight over the surfaces of Cloud Fall Star Rock and the Earth Spike Skill.
It seed to rely add a slight illusory effect, and nothing more.
Ye Jingcheng studied it once more and finally discovered that it wasn’t illusion, but a slight spatial displacent.
Hence, it only appeared to have an illusory effect.
This realization filled Ye Jingcheng with imnse joy.
Though the current spatial displacent of the Stone Spirit is minor and of little use, if the Stone Spirit were to grow.
Spiritual Power could transform into Demon Essence, and the power of spells at that ti would be unimaginable.
One must understand that a normal cultivator must reach the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm to involve oneself with space-related divine abilities.
After further researching the Spirit Disc of the Stone Spirit, Ye Jingcheng unexpectedly found that a day had already passed.
The horizon lit up with bright dawn light, and a crimson sunrise floated at the mountain’s end.
In the bamboo forest, so bird songs could be heard.
Ye Jingcheng pushed open the door and saw in the distance several spiritual ships bearing the emblem of the Taiyi Sect flying in from beyond the horizon.
They moved quickly, all being Tier Three Spiritual Ships.
Apparently, many cultivators from the Taiyi Sect had arrived once again.
Ye Jingcheng went to the restaurant hall and sent ssage transmissions to other clan mbers.
He did not continue using his Divine Sense to observe, as it might easily expose his cultivation.
After all the Ye Family mbers had gathered, Ye Jingcheng led Ye Jingyong and Ye Jing Hu towards the hall, entrusting Xu Xiuqing to stay at the market, safeguarding the Ye Family’s shops and properties.
Upon reaching the market square, three Purple Mansion Ascendants from the Taiyi Sect were already there, all familiar to Ye Jingcheng.
They were Luo Fa Ascendant from Sword Peak, Qianhe Ascendant from Dharma Peak, and Ming Yuan Ascendant from Purple Peak.
Qianhe Ascendant had so past conflict with Ye Jingcheng, as the Li Family and Chen Family previously were covert interests of Dharma Peak.
What surprised Ye Jingcheng, however, was that despite the events involving the Chu Family’s Chu Xiyu, Ming Yuan Ascendant seed unchanged as before, even appearing more refined and ruddy.
"Alright, continue according to the pre-arranged actions!" Tianzhen Ascendant transmitted a command.
Everyone flew to the insect infestation areas as previously arranged.
The Ye Family had managed their defenses well and had no issues.
"Elder Tianzhen," Ye Jingcheng spoke with a tone of delight as he watched Tianzhen Ascendant approaching with several cultivators from Illusion Peak.
Compared to other Purple Mansion cultivators, the Ye Family evidently trusted Tianzhen Ascendant more.
"Chang County’s infestation is the most severe, head there first as the presence of evil cultivators may be greatest!" Tianzhen Ascendant ordered, taking out a Tier Three Treasure Ship.
The treasure ship flew towards the distance in the air.
Ye Jingcheng watched the treasure ship depart, a hint of lancholy in his eyes.
Seeing this, Tianzhen Ascendant reassured:
"Patriarch Ye, you will reach this realm sooner or later. lancholy does not befit a cultivator, we should face challenges head-on. I’m sure Ye Daoist also hopes you will soon inherit his Tier Three Spiritual Ship."
On the day Ye Haicheng had his accident, Ye Jingcheng used the True Essence left by Ye Haicheng to pilot the Tier Three Spiritual Ship and escaped.
"Thank you, Elder Tianzhen, for your guidance. It’s just that I still feel so sorrow," Ye Jingcheng nodded.
The spiritual ship pierced through the skies, and the speed of a Tier Three Spiritual Ship far surpassed that of a Tier Two. In less than half a day, they had reached Xing County.
In the distance, large swaths of Spirit-Slaying Locusts lingered in the air like drifting sand.
Where they passed, it instantly turned to black soil, with all vegetation wiped out.
Even though the Ye Family mbers were psychologically prepared, they were still shocked upon seeing this.
The Demon-Seeking Disc in Tianzhen Ascendant’s hand lit up.
He swiftly piloted the treasure ship forward, releasing a Five-Colored Dao Disc in the air, which emitted five-colored Spirit Flas.
These five-colored flas were vast and powerful beyond belief.
In an instant, they engulfed all the Spirit-Slaying Locusts.
The might of a Purple Mansion was even more terrifying than imagined.
The five-colored flas incinerated the Spirit-Slaying Locusts, turning them to ash, causing countless blackened carcasses to fall with crackling noises.
Unexpectedly, several hundred Spirit-Slaying Locusts erged from the five-colored flas.
Their eyes were wild, gnashing their fangs fiercely.
At this mont, Ye Jingcheng rapidly harnessed Earth Phase Spiritual Power, manipulating Cloud Fall Star Rock and Earth Spike Skill.
Crushing large numbers of Spirit-Slaying Locusts, spraying black juices everywhere.
These black juices contained the Spirit-Slaying Locusts’ venom, instantly corroding vast areas where they landed.
As Ye Jingcheng took action, other cultivators from the Taiyi Sect and Ye Family mbers joined in.
Additionally, they released nurous Earth Lizard Toad Fire-Swallowing Finch Spirit Beasts.
These could devour the Spirit-Slaying Locusts.
The primary role of these Spirit Beasts was to locate and completely consu the insect eggs.
The Spirit Beasts quickly dispersed and headed towards areas traversed by the locusts.
Digging up large quantities of Spirit Eggs.
"These Spirit-Slaying Locusts can actually advance!" At this mont, Ye Jingcheng’s treasure light shone.
He suddenly discovered a cluster of insect eggs capable of advancing.
While he’d encountered many advancing spirit beasts and insects, never had he seen hundreds able to advance at once.
This realization both shocked and intrigued him, considering seizing these Spirit-Slaying Locusts.
After all, should tens of thousands of Tier Two Spirit-Slaying Locusts arise, even a Purple Mansion cultivator couldn’t resist.
But upon further thought, Ye Jingcheng abandoned the idea.
Seizing insect eggs now would undoubtedly inform Tianzhen Ascendant that he released the Spirit-Slaying Locusts.
Especially since there were no sightings within Ye Family’s domain.
Although preemptively managed, it was ultimately only claid by the Ye Family.
Facts were indeterminate.
Despite his desire, Ye Jingcheng prioritized the larger picture.
Finally deciding to let Ye Family’s talented spirit beasts consu these Spirit-Slaying Locusts, hoping it might enhance these beasts’ abilities.
"Patriarch Ye, we should split up. The Spirit-Slaying Locusts are currently only numbering a few thousand, sothing ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivators can handle!" Tianzhen Ascendant, upon sensing, saw no loose cultivators or other cultivators present.
Estimating that Spirit-Slaying Locusts already had over a dozen groups.
Quick intervention was crucial.
"Alright, Second Brother, take a few clan mbers and follow Elder Tianzhen!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, then turned to Ye Jingyong.
Although Taiyi Sect’s thods against Spirit-Slaying Locusts were strong, they had difficulty with the insect eggs, due to the eggs’ strong concealnt capability.
However, Ye Family’s spirit beasts could find them.
For the Ye Family mbers, they were elated as their spirit beasts devoured the spirit eggs, giving significant positive feedback.
As for Ye Jingcheng himself, he could also go searching for new Spirit-Slaying Locusts.
He might even find so with two advancent opportunities.
If so, it could even be cultivated for other family mbers.
Such Spirit-Slaying Locusts must remain within Ye Family mbers’ control.
...
At Void Spirit Ridge, inside a cave, Ye Xingqun and Ye Xingshui were present.
The two of them watched a Spirit Disc, which displayed so sensing arrays, showing so images.
However, these images were quite blurry and intermittent.
"Fifteenth Brother, could it truly be that the Yuan Family and Wei Family are Qinghe Sect spies?" Ye Xingshui couldn’t help but ask.
After all, in his view, Jade Cloud Yuan Family and Ping Lake Wei Family were longstanding families in Taichang Commandery.
"The likelihood is high, though the chances of entering the Taihang Mountain Range through Void Spirit Ridge is low," Ye Xingqun nodded, believing it unlikely that trouble might stem from here.
Considering last ti’s Beast Tide ca through Void Spirit Ridge, and with the Silver Moon Demon King already severely injured, even provoked, another Beast Tide was improbable.
For Demon Kings, their intelligence rivals that of the Human Race.
"Brother Qun, there’s movent, soone’s coming!" At that mont, Ye Xingshui exclaid.
Within the images, five or six figures wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes indeed appeared.
"Shut down the Spirit Screen!" Ye Xingqun quickly ordered.
The Spirit Screen imdiately turned off.
One had to know that while this sensing array projection was convenient, for many Foundation Establishnt or even Purple Mansion cultivators, it could alert them.
Such arrays were more suited for observing the Demon Race.
Upon shutting down the array, nurous Black Wood Ants erged from the cave.
These Black Wood Ants gathered densely, moving in organized groups.
Compared to Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishnt cultivator Ye Xingqun could control far more Black Wood Ants.
"Their likely target is Earth Dragon Valley." Ye Xingqun took a deep breath and spoke.
Heading for Earth Dragon Valley implied the presence of possible Purple Mansion cultivators, which was why Ye Xingqun deactivated the array.
