Capítulo 1451: Chapter 1436: Nine Domain Alliance
The island where the Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion survives belongs to a small type, but it has mountains, so it won’t be submerged even during a tsunami.
Though not a geography expert, Ye Zhen found that the environment of this Jade Scorpion Island differs from other islands shortly after arriving.
Unlike typical islands, it’s not humid and stuffy but rather cool. Ye Zhen speculated that this might be related to the earth veins of the island.
This also indicates that the living environment of these Severed Spirit Jade Scorpions is uncommon.
They cannot be casually relocated elsewhere for cultivation.
Ye Zhen surveyed the island with his divine soul and roughly estimated that the number of Severed Spirit Jade Scorpions on the island was around five thousand, with only about one-tenth being juveniles.
This is a relatively appropriate ratio, but in terms of numbers, it is too small. A slight mishap could lead to their complete extinction.
After pondering for a while, Ye Zhen took out a small communication transfer formation. After sending a talisman communication, he concentrated on extracting the Jade Finger Scorpion Poison.
Quickly, Ye Zhen discovered that only the male Severed Spirit Jade Scorpions could yield scorpion poison; the female ones did not have Jade Finger Scorpion Poison.
On the entire island, there were just over two thousand male Severed Spirit Jade Scorpions, and basically, one could only yield a drop of Jade Finger Scorpion Poison.
About one hundred male Severed Spirit Jade Scorpions were needed to extract a bottle of Jade Finger Scorpion Poison.
This was a very meticulous task, requiring utmost caution. Otherwise, being stung by a Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion, even Ye Zhen would lose all his spiritual power due to poisoning.
It took a full five days for Ye Zhen to collect around twenty bottles of Jade Finger Scorpion Poison. After collecting the poison, a spirit boat flashing with spirit light appeared swiftly on the horizon.
It was Feng Qingyue, bringing the Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Yang Yiguan, and his dozen trusted disciples.
Even after rebuilding the Beast Taming Sect, Yang Yiguan continued to serve as Supreme Elder and did not take on the role of sect leader, yet the sect remained under his control.
The talisman communication Ye Zhen sent earlier was merely instructing Feng Qingyue for this task.
“Qingyue, have you brought all the materials I listed?” Ye Zhen asked.
“All in sufficient quantities, my lord,” she replied.
Ye Zhen nodded, casually beckoning Yang Yiguan over. The Jade Finger Scorpion Poison was of great significance, and Ye Zhen felt secure only entrusting it to a beast cultivation expert like Yang Yiguan.
“How have the Wind-swallowing Exotic Beasts been cultivated over these years?” Ye Zhen first inquired.
“My lord, through various growth-accelerating secret techniques, we’ve nurtured one twenty-year-old Wind-swallowing Exotic Beast and three ten-year-olds, along with a hundred and five between one to five years old.
Basically, a five-year-old Wind-swallowing Exotic Beast can fully swallow an all-out attack from a king at the early Establishment Realm. A ten-year-old is theoretically capable of swallowing an all-out attack from a peak Ninth-Stage Dao Entrance Realm expert, but we have no test subjects.
As for the twenty-year-old Wind-swallowing Exotic Beast, based on sect records, it should effortlessly swallow an all-out attack from a legendary Divine Communication Realm expert,” Yang Yiguan reported.
“Well done. Here’s your reward!” Ye Zhen casually tossed a storage ring, “The contents should help elevate your cultivation to the peak Ninth-Stage Establishment Realm within a few years.”
“However, from today on, the task of cultivating Wind-swallowing Exotic Beasts will be left to your disciples. Focus all your energy on cultivating and researching this little creature,” Ye Zhen said, showing a Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion.
“You need to personally research their habits, breeding patterns, toxicity, the time it takes for their poison to regenerate, and how long to wait between extractions without affecting toxicity…” Ye Zhen issued a series of commands.
“From now on, you’ll settle on this island for research. Any needs, use this small communication transfer formation to contact us, and your requests will be met!
Remember, kill anyone who dares trespass on this island!”
After giving instructions, Ye Zhen left one hundred Wind-Fire Crossbows for defense and exceptionally provided Yang Yiguan with two Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows.
This act showed Ye Zhen’s regard for the Jade Finger Scorpion Poison, as he saw it as a strategic treasure.
Yet, Ye Zhen was still not at ease.
Ye Zhen went into the sea himself, capturing ten Spirit Tier Demon Beasts with outstanding cultivation levels, and had Yang Yiguan imprison their divine souls for future emergencies.
While Yang Yiguan and his disciples began constructing shelters on the island, Ye Zhen, holding Feng Qingyue, headed straight for the Black Dragon Domain.
The matters of Ye Zhen’s recent return to the True Profound Continent were nearly settled. As for Heavenly Wing Island, the cultivation resources brought by the Great Saint of Jinghai had been delivered, and now it was up to Ye Zhen to decide who to take away a year later.
In the upcoming year, Ye Zhen planned to spend quality time with his parents and fulfill his filial duties.
This year was a turbulent one for the True Profound Continent, a year of bloody upheaval. Whether on sea or land, the once-complicated web of interwoven powers in each domain would be reduced to only two or three in the aftermath of cleansing through blood and fire.
Like the Snowdrift Domain, Ye Zhen originally selected three forces, but unexpectedly, one of them was extremely incompetent, and in the end, it almost got devoured by the other two.
In this situation, Ye Zhen did not intervene. If they lack the capability, they do not deserve to share the world.
Of course, those other two have already been put on Ye Zhen’s special watch list. After the alliance in the future, the first to be knocked on by the Qiyun Sect will be them.
The only exception is the Stars Tower.
According to Ye Zhen’s promise, the Stars Tower is the only force allowed to simultaneously exist in both of the two major alliances delineated by Ye Zhen. However, its foundation lies in the eastern sea region.
As for the middle sea region, it belongs to Heavenly Wing Island and Shuili Island.
This year, Ye Zhen stayed at the Nameless Peak of the Qiyun Sect, accompanied by the two beauties, Feng Qingyue and Luluo, living quite happily.
He ate meals cooked by his mother every day, and surprisingly, he gained a little weight.
The only annoyance was that every ten days to half a month, his mother Mi Jiangxue would urge him about any significant developments.
Although his father Ye Tiancheng did not voice his opinion on this matter, whenever Mi Jiangxue asked this question, his ears would perk up in attention, representing his stance.
During these moments, both Feng Qingyue and Luluo would lower their heads in some embarrassment.
Ye Zhen was also helpless; he had put in enough effort. During this rare gathering over the year, the three of them hardly missed a day of endeavoring together. Sometimes, the three even often shared one bed, yet there was no progress.
Fortunately, Ye Zhen knew this matter couldn’t be rushed and was related to his cultivation, and often resolved this personally. Otherwise, the two women would have been utterly ashamed.
Apart from the majesty of passing down the lineage, Ye Zhen spent most of his time this past year guiding everyone’s cultivation.
This included not just his father and mother, but also Feng Qingyue and Luluo. Under the intentional resource distribution from Ye Zhen, who didn’t hesitate to use precious Psychic Spirit Pills, their cultivations experienced a tremendous change.
Feng Qingyue’s cultivation skyrocketed from the Second Stage of Establishment Realm to the Sixth Stage of Establishment Realm, and Luluo’s cultivation, from the late-stage Vein Forging Realm to the Fourth Stage of Establishment Realm.
Father Ye Tiancheng’s cultivation barely reached the Third Stage of Establishment Realm, whereas mother Mi Jiangxue lagged significantly, having only reached the Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
However, as of now, the longevity of his parents is sufficient. In a few decades, once Ye Zhen pushes their cultivation to the Divine Communication Realm, attaining a millennium lifespan won’t be an issue.
Beyond longevity, their safety is of utmost importance.
This past year, apart from cultivating, Ye Zhen focused on tailoring soul artifacts for several individuals. This kind of set of less consuming yet highly potent soul artifacts is enough to ensure their safety on the True Profound Continent.
Not to mention those lifesaving personal items Ye Zhen had quietly provided them.
However, Ye Zhen’s main focus this year was his second brother, Ye Jin. He tempered his brother’s bones and marrow and replenished his blood and Qi. If not limited by available spiritual medicine, molding his second brother into an Acquired Spiritual Body would have been possible.
Of course, fostering aside, according to his father Ye Tiancheng, having a smooth path isn’t necessarily a good thing. Most importantly, he needs to endure hardships.
Ye Zhen personally took his second brother Ye Jin on a trip to the Southern Barbarians, and they returned with a body full of scars. The sharpness in his eyes had turned into a severe and murderous aura.
Of course, Ye Zhen’s stay at the Qiyun Sect wasn’t solely for cultivating those around him. The Qiyun Sect was isolated and inherently weak, necessitating Ye Zhen’s proper support.
This past year, Ye Zhen cultivated quite a number of experts for the Qiyun Sect. Including those who have broken through or are about to break through to the Establishment Realm, the number totals over two hundred.
Like Meng Xiaoyue, under Ye Zhen’s forced cultivation, her level soared to the pinnacle of the Ninth Stage of Vein Forging Realm. If not for concerns about excessive elevation affecting her future, Meng Xiaoyue’s level might already be in the Establishment Realm.
Even so, with a set of soul artifacts personally refined by Ye Zhen, Meng Xiaoyue has astonishingly become a second Liao Feibai.
This year has been perhaps Ye Zhen’s most leisurely time, with most efforts devoted to artifact refining and teaching others, leaving his own cultivation progress quite ordinary, climbing just from the early to the mid First Stage of the Divine Communication Realm.
This pace, considering Ye Zhen luxuriously using High Grade Thought Spirit Pills for cultivation, was slow, but for the average Divine Communication Realm Martial Capital, it was lightning fast.
Leisurely times always pass quickly.
Just after a year had passed, Ye Zhen received one jade scroll after another reporting the completion of regional unification tasks.
In each domain, they basically completed the unification tasks Ye Zhen assigned.
According to the agreement between the already met Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong and Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing, the Nine Domain Alliance will be held in a month on Shuili Island.
Ye Zhen knew that his time to leave the True Profound Continent and return to the Primordial Continent was approaching!
