After receiving Ye Linyuan's definite answer, the Chongming Bird did not stay here for long. It flapped its wings and disappeared at the end of the sky. Ye Linyuan watched him leave, and then looked further away, but saw that Xuanyin Saint Son and others in the empty sky had already retreated, leaving only the extremely tall and majestic golden figure standing in the air. "Thank you, senior." Looking at the tall figure, Ye Linyuan hurriedly bowed. The Holy Lord of Taihuang did not say much, but just glanced at him lightly, then stood up and disappeared at the end of the sky. After the Holy Lord of Taihuang left, Ye Linyuan came back to his senses and looked towards the battlefield, but saw that with the Ye family's Yuanying Zhenjun freeing up their hands, there was no suspense in this battle. The Jindan cultivators of the Jinlian Taoist Sect and its affiliated forces were quickly wiped out by the crowd. As for those disciples in the foundation-building stage, there was no need for those present to take action personally, as the major Jindan forces under their command would rush to clean them up. At this time, Ye Linyuan looked at True Lord Qingxuan, but saw that the old man with white hair and beard was looking at him in surprise, obviously shocked by the strength Ye Linyuan showed in this battle. Seeing Ye Linyuan looking over, Qingxuan Zhenjun immediately said, "Brother Ye, I have done my best in this battle. Can you make up for the past karma?"
"After this battle, the cause and effect between you and me will be written off." Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, he understood what True Lord Qingxuan was worried about. Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingxuan heaved a sigh of relief and immediately bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave now." After saying this, True Lord Qingxuan did not stay any longer and disappeared at the end of the void with the direct descendants of Qingyuan Palace. After True Lord Qingxuan left, Ye Linyuan continued to focus his attention on the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect. The war was over, but the post-war cleanup work lasted for three full days before the core personnel of the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect were cleared out and the Golden Lotus Mountains were completely under control. After gaining complete control, Ye Hezhe and others began to count the military merits and distribute rewards. The whole process would last about three months. However, these are not things that Ye Linyuan needs to worry about. He simply counted the spoils of this war and found that after killing a large number of Yuanying Zhenjun, he seized hundreds of various third-level rare or fourth-level treasures. Among them are more than a dozen spiritual treasures, as well as a large number of rare and precious treasures and even spiritual objects for forming infants. Most of these treasures are useless to Ye Linyuan, but they are of great use to the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Ye family. Once they are all digested, they will be enough to increase their strength by 10% or 20%. The remaining treasures can be traded for treasures that Ye Linyuan needs in the future. As for Ye Linyuan, there are five relatively rare treasures, namely, the bronze puppet, the bronze ancient mirror, the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Sword, the Thousand Miles Mountain and River Map, and a fourth-level Void Stone. Among these treasures, the Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Map is the natal spiritual treasure of the ancestor of the Yang family, and it should be a fourth-order spiritual treasure with spatial attributes, which has the effect of suppressing and trapping the enemy. Relying on this treasure, the strength of the Yang ancestor in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul should not be underestimated. Unfortunately, he is now old and weak, and his strength is not as good as before. He faced Ye Linyuan, a powerful enemy who was almost as strong as half of the Yuanhou giants. He was suppressed before he could even display much of his strength. The fourth-level Kongming Stone is of extraordinary value. It can be used to refine fourth-level formation platforms and space spiritual treasures. Its value is naturally self-evident. The Fire Sea Golden Lotus Sword is the natal spiritual treasure of the Golden Lotus True Lord, and it is also the best among the mid-grade spiritual treasures. The bronze puppet and the ancient bronze mirror have mysterious origins. They should have come from the same ancient ruins and should both be rare treasures of the highest grade spiritual treasure level.
The former has been decayed and is close to being scrapped, with only the core components still capable of being repaired. The latter is still relatively well preserved because of its relatively simple material. It's just that the spirit of the weapon had been destroyed. Later, the Yang family integrated the spirit of a Nascent Soul True Lord into it, so it can still barely exert a power close to the late Nascent Soul stage. If these two treasures cannot be repaired, then they are useless to Ye Linyuan. However, Ye Yingxu is best at studying these, so he threw them to Ye Yingxu and said, "Do you have a way to repair them?" Ye Yingxu took the two treasures, examined them for a moment and said, "These should be ancient treasures. It is extremely difficult to repair them, but they are of great use to me." "Then I'll give it to you." Ye Linyuan nodded. Although Ye Yingxu had never said it explicitly, he had guessed since the last battle that Ye Yingxu might have an ancient treasure on him. If these two treasures are useful to Ye Yingxu, they can most likely repair that ancient treasure. After dealing with these two rare treasures, Ye Yingxu distributed the remaining treasures. He gave the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Sword to Ye Xuqiu, and the Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Map, which was good at suppressing and trapping enemies, to Shui Hanqing. The last piece of Kongming Stone was kept by Ye Linyuan. He planned to use it as the core material to build a fourth-order formation platform. In this way, he can connect Red Dragon Mountain and Golden Lotus Taoist Sect through the teleportation array and completely connect and control the two fourth-level spiritual mountains. After arranging all this, Ye Kunling couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you want to go and clean up the Nanli Yang Sect?" "No need for now." Ye Linyuan shook his head and said calmly: "The Yang family has been passed down for ten thousand years, and its foundation is far beyond the reach of the Golden Lotus Dao Sect. Perhaps there are still unfathomable foundations hidden." "Besides, the Central Region is too far away from us. Even if we take it, it will be difficult to defend it and may even cause considerable trouble." Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. The situation in the world of immortal cultivation was very complicated. It was definitely not an easy task to cross a continent and destroy a dominant force in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. There are many powerful people in the central region of Chixia Continent, and the core of the alliance is a group of powerful families. It is said that there are thirty-six powerful Nascent Soul families, and even four giant families in the late Nascent Soul stage. Living in the same territory, these noble families have their grievances and hatreds against each other, but they also often intermarry. Generally speaking, they would not travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to cause trouble for Ye Linyuan just for the Yang family, but if the Ye family wanted to destroy the Yang family, it would likely arouse the vigilance of these families. "Before we become a giant force in the late Nascent Soul stage, there is no need for us to cause trouble in the Central Region. The Yang family no longer has the ability to threaten us, so let them continue to survive for a while." Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked at the huge Golden Lotus Dao Sect and said: "Let's digest the Golden Lotus Dao Sect first, and then we should return to Cangling Sea." When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly and smiled. Since the defeat of the Five Elements Taoist Sect, they have been dormant for three hundred years. Now, they are no longer the same as before in the Ye family. It is time to return to the Cangling Sea. "..." Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these ten years, the Ye Clan finally took control of the territory under the command of the Golden Lotus Sect and became a dominant force that controlled thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Since then, the Ye Clan's sphere of influence has skyrocketed tenfold, and the tax revenue has also skyrocketed tenfold. Relying on this tax revenue and the large amount of resources seized in the war, Ye Linyuan also began to expand the size of his Taoist army. During these ten years, the number of Golden Ape Taoist Soldiers of the Ye family exceeded more than one hundred, totaling one hundred and eight Golden Ape Taoist Soldiers. In addition, the number of Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers also exceeded dozens, reaching as many as eighty-five. The number of Cold Dragon Taoist Soldiers was smaller, but there were also more than seventy of them.
Moreover, these Taoist soldiers are not ordinary Taoist soldiers. They are all the descendants of true spirits at the Jindan level. Their strength at the Jindan level is by no means weak. "We have initially taken control of the Golden Lotus Mountains, and the teleportation array has also been successfully built." "Next, it's time for us to return to the Cangling Sea." On this day, in a magnificent hall on the top of Red Dragon Mountain, the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Ye family sat facing each other. Ye Linyuan sat in the center of the hall, looking at everyone calmly and spoke. Everyone nodded when they heard this. After years of development, they have completely taken control of the Golden Lotus Mountains and have initially digested the results of their previous battles. Their overall strength has been improved. When they heard that they were going to return to Cangling Sea, Ye Xuqiu and others were immediately surprised. But Ye Xuqiu couldn't help but smile, and then asked: "Who should we arrange to go back to Cangling Sea this time?" "The spiritual energy of the Cangling Sea is more powerful, so we should give priority to arranging the water repairmen to return." Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then said thoughtfully: "Han Ji, Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Fushan Ao, Shuican, and Cangyue Bei, follow me back." Ye Xuqiu couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he heard this, but he understood that the environment of Chixiazhou was more suitable for him. After arranging for the people to return, Ye Linyuan made personnel adjustments on Chixiazhou. According to his method, Li Huojiaolong and Ye Kunling would be in charge of Chilong Mountain in the future. Ye Xuqiu, Ye Yingxu and Chiyan Linghuang are guarding the Jinlian Taoist Sect. They can support each other with Chilong Mountain through the teleportation array at any time to ensure that there will be no problems with the two fourth-level spirit veins. As for the Golden Fighting Ape, it is still guarding the Golden Ape Ridge in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range. After making the personnel arrangements, Ye Linyuan gave everyone his final instructions: "During the time I'm away, you can just practice as usual. Just tell others that I'm in seclusion." "If you really run into trouble, just go to the Cave Heaven World and find us." Ye Xuqiu and the others nodded when they heard this, and Ao Xuan smiled and said, "Master, with the current strength of our Ye family, I'm afraid not many people in Chixiazhou dare to provoke us." Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan didn't say anything more, and eventually returned to the cave world with the help of the teleportation array. After returning to the cave world, Ye Linyuan made new personnel arrangements again. This time he brought back seven Yuanying Zhenjuns, and together with himself, there were a total of eight Yuanying Zhenjuns. This number was still too shocking. In order to avoid causing too much trouble, he still plans to continue adjusting some of the candidates who will be born. So he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Cang Yue Bei, Shui Can, Fu Shan Ao, the three of you will stay in the Cave Heaven World from now on. You must not leave the Cave Heaven World unless necessary." "Master, don't worry. Cangyue will guard this place well." Cangyue Bei said calmly. Fushan Ao also smiled and said, "You and I have been friends for many years. Leave this place to me. There will be no problem at all." Ye Linyuan nodded. Regardless of the feelings between the two parties, just from the perspective of the exchange of interests, Fushan Ao would never betray him. After all, if Fushan'ao wants to transform into a true spirit of heaven and earth, he still needs him to cultivate bloodline elixirs. With this level of interest conflict, Fushan'ao is an absolutely trustworthy person. So after arranging the people to stay behind in the cave world, Ye Linyuan set out with Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, and Han Ji, and quietly arrived at the ancient ruins. After years of renovation, the thirty-six floating islands of the ancient ruins have been completely restored.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan added a large amount of materials and arranged an ultra-large fourth-order composite formation based on these thirty-six floating islands. These thirty-six floating islands are a large-scale fourth-order formation. Each of the six core islands has a fourth-order lower-grade spiritual lake, which is enough to meet the daily cultivation needs of a Yuanying Zhenjun. The remaining thirty floating islands only have third-grade top-quality spirit pools, but each of them has multiple spirit pools, which is enough to satisfy the practice of many Jindan cultivators. According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, even if this super-large composite formation cannot withstand a giant in the late Nascent Soul stage, it can still withstand the joint siege of three in the middle Nascent Soul stage, or more than a dozen in the early Nascent Soul stage. "The power of the mountain protection formation is sufficient for now. Next, we just need to continue to purchase spirit beads to upgrade the mountain protection formation." Ye Linyuan was thinking in his mind, and after confirming that the floating island could be lifted off, he looked at Shui Hanqing and said, "Before we completely come out into the world, we should also give those old friends a greeting gift." "Yeah, it's time to let them know we're back." Shui Hanqing spoke slowly and couldn't help but smile. Now that the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, Ye Linyuan will definitely not rush out into the world. He needed to seize an opportunity, take advantage of the fact that the Black Abyss Dragon Palace had not reacted, and launch a direct surprise attack to inflict heavy damage to the Black Abyss Dragon Palace. After a great battle, Ye Linyuan will raise the floating island above the nine heavens, and the pressure he will face will be much smaller. Thinking of this, Shui Hanqing took out a piece of intelligence and handed it to Ye Linyuan, saying: "This is the latest war situation." Ye Linyuan nodded, picked up the information and took a look at it, and his brows slightly frowned. According to intelligence, the war situation in the entire Cangling Sea has undergone significant changes in recent years. First, the battlefield in the Northern Territory entered a tense situation, with the seven Dragon Palaces waging war against the heroes of the Northern Territory, and it seemed that it was difficult to determine the winner for the time being. However, after the Yuanying sects in the Northern Territory felt the pressure, they had no choice but to withdraw their support to the Eastern Territory, which directly changed the situation in the Eastern Territory. Today, the situation on the battlefield in the Eastern Region has undergone tremendous changes. The two Nascent Soul overlord forces, Tianhe Dao Sect and Gu Immortal Clan, are doing fine and can stabilize the battlefield situation for the time being. Other major forces were not feeling well. One of the two great deep-sea overlords in the East Region, Crazy Sea Shark, was badly defeated. Not only was he severely injured by the Mysterious Prison Dragon Emperor, but three of his Nascent Soul Demon Emperors were also killed. (End of this chapter)
