Fortunately, the Ye Family's Communication Beast Ceremony is completed in the family's Ancestral Hall.

"That's right, this time the beast soul power is enough for your second communication beast to begin as well, so you won't have any burden when you break through to the Purple Mansion," the Turtle Ancestor added again.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, then took out a Spirit Nourishing Pill with a Pill Pattern from his Storage Bag and offered it to the Turtle Ancestor.

The Turtle Ancestor, seeing Ye Jingcheng so considerate, couldn't help but tilt his turtle head slightly, much like a satisfied elder.

Ye Jingcheng felt a bit odd about the Turtle Ancestor's demeanor, but didn't say much, instead inviting the Turtle Ancestor into the room.

The Turtle Ancestor also glanced into the room.

It softly exclaimed.

"Jingcheng, how did you cultivate this Grotto Heaven? How did it suddenly grow so much? Has the Stone Spirit gained Spiritual Wisdom? Can it observe the Star Diagram?" The Turtle Ancestor was full of astonishment.

Even its old and venerable facade lessened quite a bit.

At this moment, it was like a curious young man.

"Turtle Ancestor, the Stone Spirit has made a breakthrough," Ye Jingcheng sincerely replied, though he doubted Turtle Ancestor's age inwardly.

"The breakthrough effect is so good?" Turtle Ancestor still couldn't believe it.

"Let me go in and have a look."

"Turtle Ancestor, please," Ye Jingcheng agreed, as he needed to place the Golden Falcon into the Grotto Heaven; it preferred the Grotto Heaven over the Spirit Beast Bag.

Ye Jingcheng and Turtle Ancestor entered the Grotto Heaven together.

Once Turtle Ancestor entered, its eyes widened, staring straight at the Spirit Lake, instantly spotting the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon at the lake's bottom, and being astonished by the Spiritual Eye Spring and Purple Jade Vine.

Of course, more so by the space within the Grotto Heaven.

It moved a bit slowly, starting to carefully ponder when it last guided Ye Jingcheng.

It recalled when its own Grotto Heaven reached such a state.

Then it stared at Ye Jingcheng:

"Which Star Diagram did you show to the Stone Spirit?"

Ye Jingcheng felt a bit strange upon hearing this, but still took out the Jade Talisman. The Star Diagram engraved on it was the one given to him by the Turtle Ancestor.

"It's nothing," Turtle Ancestor glanced at the Jade Talisman and shook its head, though its gaze began to wander.

Ye Jingcheng suddenly harbored a bad premonition, but Turtle Ancestor said nothing further and exited the Grotto Heaven with him.

Ye Jingcheng didn't think much of it and instead took out the Clan Token to summon all the Inner Hall members of the Ye Family to discuss the allocation of the Communication Beast spots.

The possibility of having a Communication Beast Ceremony in the Ye Family has always required a vote from all Inner Hall members, needing more than half to agree in order to authorize a nomination for the ceremony.

Those in seclusion and away from home do not participate.

This greatly tests one's sense of belonging to the family since Inner Hall cultivators come up through this process, which is why Ye Jingteng, despite not causing trouble and being a talented individual with Dual Spirit Roots, has never received a nomination for the family ceremony.

To the family, he'd prefer some ordinary cultivators for Communication Beast, as long as it maintains the family, it offers infinite possibilities.

Of course, it's not enough merely to have everyone agree.

One must also participate in the family's Communication Beast trial, using the Golden Dragon Order's Soul Capture effect within the Clan Token to perceive the deepest thoughts of clan members.

If successful, they become Communication Beasts.

If not, they are given the Forget Dust Pill, thoroughly sealing Divine Sense so that they cannot remember anything from the event.

Failing the second trial means that clan member can never obtain a Communication Beast.

Though cruel, Ye Jingcheng had to admit it's the best method of secrecy.

Ye Jingcheng headed to the Clan Assembly Hall.

Meanwhile, in Ye Jingcheng's courtyard, the Turtle Ancestor also opened its own Grotto Heaven. Inside was an identical Lingyun Peak, where Ye Haicheng sat, with a mysterious Beast Communication Tower standing behind him.

The Ninth Layered Beast Communication Tower was filled with strange Spirit Patterns, looking so profound it invited people to delve into it.

"Uncle Gui, have you reached Lingyun Peak? How is the current state of the family?" Ye Haicheng addressed the Tai Cang Turtle with junior respect, as it was also inherited by him.

As for the previous master, they had long been outlived by the Tai Cang Turtle.

"Yes, everything with the family is fine. However, Haicheng, I feel your cultivation surpasses mine. Perhaps we should terminate the communication beast bond, allowing this turtle to guide some of the younger Ye generation in cultivation growth."

"For example, Jingcheng of the Jing Generation is quite outstanding, and he's close to breaking through to the Purple Mansion," the Tai Cang Turtle brightly suggested.

Seeing Ye Haicheng's face darken, it quickly added:

"Never mind if you don't agree. Honestly, his Earth Phase is quite poor, which could affect his breakthrough," the Turtle Ancestor concluded, heading toward a large lake beside it.

Before the mountain peak, Ye Haicheng was left with an extremely gloomy and conflicted expression.

He knew he was disparaged by the Tai Cang Turtle, but the one surpassing him was his own junior.

Even though he was reluctant to admit it hastily, the Jing Generation had indeed risen to prominence.

He couldn't help but be quite gratified.

...

In the Ceremony Hall, halfway there, Ye Jingcheng's steps suddenly quickened, and he changed course on the spot.

Heading towards the Bamboo Forest beside him.

It was the Bamboo Forest where Ye Xingqun was located.

At this moment, a tremendous surge of Spiritual Energy was emanating from there, and Ye Jingcheng estimated Ye Xingqun was about to break through.

The timing was about right.

Moreover, Xingqun was using the Earth Flame Fiend to break through to Foundation Establishment; any mishap could result in death and dissolution, leaving no room for interference.

Ye Jingcheng soon traversed the Bamboo Forest, which was also filled with numerous Black Wood Ants and Five Poison Bees.
