In the Outer Sea, on yet another island, a spirit shuttle flew out, and two figures leaped down.

They wore Spirit-Blocking Robes, and the person behind raised his hand toward the sky, instantly scattering countless yellow powder towards the island.

These yellow powders dispersed extremely quickly, and like water infiltrating underground, they soon disappeared.

In that person's palm, a palm-sized moth appeared once more.

After thirty-odd breaths, he spoke:

"Brother He, no problem, the Celestial Crystal Moth did not sense the existence of other creatures."

"Hmm, hmm, be careful, this time the family has bet too much, no one can afford to lose!" The leader was Ye Haige, his broad figure seemed even more imposing.

At this moment, he was extremely serious, lacking the previous casual demeanor.

"Brother He, why don't we contest for guarding Sea Heart Island?"

"Because I'm not as good as him." Ye Haige replied without thinking.

"Sixty years old in the Purple Mansion, how old are you and I?"

Ye Haisheng suddenly fell silent, but his eyes still showed some defiance.

In his view, Ye Jingcheng merely had more Spirit Beasts, but what was Ye Haige? Ye Haige was truly an Abnormal Spirit Root, the only Wind Spirit Root Cultivator in the Ye Family, and also the representative of Dual Cultivation of Body and Spirit in the Ye Family.

If not for the need to excel in both, Ye Haige would have reached the Purple Mansion long ago.

Moreover, being barely over a hundred years old wasn't particularly aged, with nearly four hundred years available to attempt a breakthrough to Golden Core.

"Haisheng, in the Cultivation Realm, never underestimate others, otherwise you'll suffer greatly!"

"Of course, when I say I'm not as good as him, it means I'm not as good as him now, but it doesn't mean I will always be inferior to him, so there's nothing worth contesting." Ye Haige spoke again, satisfied with his current situation.

Moreover, Ye Xuefan also gave him the Communication Beast, Star-Eyed Iron Ape, so how could he vie for some other unsound reputation?

"But..."

"No buts, according to the plan, here will be the first battle for the maturation of Demon-enticing Grass, and if delayed, even you and I will be executed without exception!" Ye Haige snapped coldly.

Hearing this, Ye Haisheng had no choice but to start setting up the Array, throwing the earlier moth into the air to let it watch over the surroundings.

Ye Haige, on the other hand, looked toward the sky, gazing over the endless sea.

"I hope you won't let down the title of the number one genius spoken by the second ancestor!" Ye Haige muttered to himself, in a voice only he could hear.

...

On another island, Ye Xingliu and Ye Xuefu were also sitting on the island, having set up the Array and summoned various Spirit Beasts, behind them was a sky full of Black Armored Scorpions.

Ye Xingliu remained silent beside him, only finding the Pill in Ye Xuefu's hand somewhat familiar.

"Uncle Nine, are these Blood Burst Pills?" After a while, he recalled that Ye Jingcheng once refined Blood Burst Pills, which could overdraft the vitality of Demon Beasts to enhance their strength.

Even though this particular Elixir differed somewhat from the Blood Burst Pill, its aura and feeling were almost indistinguishable.

"Always raising so many Black Armored Scorpions, can't even sustain oneself." Ye Xuefu's face showed a hint of pain.

Yet it was unclear whether he was distressed by the high consumption of the Black Armored Scorpions, or pained at their imminent loss.

...

Ye Haiyu and Ye Haiyan currently guarded an island facing the Inland Sea, relatively less dangerous.

But for the two, the pressure was still substantial.

"We should set up as many Arrays as possible, and utilize them to transmit the scent of Demon-enticing Grass further, or else the pressure on others will be immense," Ye Haiyu suggested.

Ye Haiyan nodded, once the setup was complete, he looked at Ye Haiyu and then asked:

"Will Third Uncle appear this time?"

"Third Uncle will certainly do his utmost to ensure Second Uncle's breakthrough, but his health..."

"Sigh..." Ye Haiyu didn't finish his sentence but sighed.

This was not the first attempt by the Ye Family to break through to Golden Core; last time it was Ye Shengyi, who ultimately failed in the Taihang Mountain Range, nearly exposing the Ye Family.

Because of that, the Ye Family's deployment this time was extremely tense.

...

Meanwhile, in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, on Mountain Island in Jade Wood Bay.

Ye Haifei led a group of cultivators from the Purple Wood Sect onto a high platform.

Everyone on this island was feeling somewhat dull.

After all, the school of Thunderbolt Fish Ye Haifei mentioned had yet to appear.

"The Thunderbolt Fish have appeared, but their direction is slightly off, heading towards Yuqing Island opposite Jade Wood Bay!" Ye Haifei announced.

This statement immediately aroused some doubt among the others.

But in the end, no one voiced any complaints; Yu Chu Sect had been a longstanding adversary of the Purple Wood Sect.

Years of confrontation along Jade Wood Bay had persisted.

Moreover, not long ago, Cyan Fish Island was attacked by Yu Chu Sect, who stole a large number of Cyan Fish and Roc Fish bloodline Cyan Fish from the Purple Wood Sect.

This news had caused quite a stir within the Purple Wood Sect.

Though Yu Chu Sect denied it, all evidence pointed directly to Yu Chu Sect.

Hence, if there was truly an advancement on Yu Chu Sect, it wasn't entirely unacceptable for them.

...

On Celestial Cloud Island, inside a pavilion in Celestial One City.

A black-robed elder raised a cup of Spirit Tea again, and Yun Fusheng entered respectfully from outside.

"Uncle Xuan, most likely Purple Wood Sect and Yu Chu Sect will clash."

"Oh, have you investigated the Treasure Diagram covertly?" Though he instructed them to ignite conflict between Purple Wood Sect and Yu Chu Sect,

at this moment, he was more focused on the Five Elements Spirit Palace Treasure Diagram of the True Monarch of Five Elements.

"No substantial clues; Yu Chu Sect has hidden it extremely well, but recently there's been a finding: the Spirit Treasure Pavilion investigated the cultivators from the recent sect conference and discovered that those entering the Purple Wood Sect were all new faces. While these people all possess new identities, they don't appear frequently; moreover, after joining Purple Wood Sect, they began executing secret missions!" Yun Fusheng continued to report.
