If in the past he would be trembling without the Treasure Diagram information, but today with the discovery of the Purple Wood Sect, he was confident he wouldn't be reprimanded by Uncle Xuan.

"How long has it been?" Uncle Xuan finally showed some interest, even putting down his tea.

"It's been over ten years, yet these people in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain have little to no notable achievements, extremely low-key."

"And the cultivators from our sect who infiltrated the Purple Wood Sect can only end up in outer layers or sent on suicidal missions."

"It seems this Purple Wood Sect might just be another facade of inland cultivation forces!" Uncle Xuan couldn't help but curve his lips to the side, his eyes full of mockery.

In this world, nothing is flawless.

Anything done by humans definitely has traces to be found!

"Keep investigating, to see if it's indeed forces from the Celestial Horse Sea Domain or the Qi Kingdom and Lu Kingdom forces." After speaking, the old man resumed drinking his spirit tea.

As Yun Fusheng was about to leave, the old man timely added:

"Also, spread the news that the theft of Cyan Fish Island was done by the Yu Chu Sect, to help them out, else it's always confrontations and always almost starting!"

"If necessary, let the Yu Chu Sect kill a few Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Purple Wood Sect."

...

Cangyin Island.

The dense fog increasingly covered the sea surface, attracting many demon beasts and fish shoals into the mist.

However, as one demon beast and fish shoal after another ventured into the mist, there was no trace of movement,

the remaining fish shoals and demon beasts instantly distanced themselves from the Spiritual Mist.

And within the mist, at this moment, the sky had been completely filled with Spiritual Radiance.

The vortex at the mountain peak had grown massive, spiraling all spiritual energy towards the vortex.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xuefan once again took out the Array Banner, but this time, it was not for array formation, but to once again activate a Spirit Gathering Array.

The spiritual vein on this island is a Tier Three Spiritual Vein, capable of supporting breakthroughs in the Purple Mansion and Purple Mansion Realm, but now, after all, it's a breakthrough to Golden Core.

If the spiritual energy is insufficient, the pre-prepared Spirit Gathering Array needs to be activated ahead of time, and use the prepared Spirit Stones to augment the array with spiritual energy.

Of course, even then, the quality of spiritual energy might not be as good.

But the Ye Family has no choice as places with Tier Four Spiritual Veins are all occupied by Great Sects and Tier Four Demon Kings.

The Ye Family also needs to remain hidden, finding Cangyin Island is already quite fortunate.

Beside Ye Xuefan, another old man appeared, coughing continuously, yet his eyes intensely fixated on the island. As for the other family members, most were dispatched into the mist.

They were to repel and slay any demon beasts venturing into the mist.

Simultaneously, they waited for when the anomalies could no longer be concealed, to slay approaching beasts, ensuring these demon beasts do not affect Ye Xuecang's breakthrough.

On the mountain summit of the island, Ye Xuecang was at a crucial moment, eyes tightly shut, his pale brows knitted intensely.

Spiritual energy storms surrounded him, constantly surging towards him.

Countless Spiritual Radiance enveloped him.

He cultivated the Three Pristine Qianyuan True Manual, and if anyone was present, they would see that at this moment, within Ye Xuecang, the Three-Color Purple Mansion had become chaotic.

It began condensing into the Golden Core.

This was the final stage of Gathering Mansion and Solidifying Pill.

At this time, Ye Xuecang noticed his divine soul was somewhat insufficient, that feeling of weakness in solidifying the pill started to emerge.

Ye Xuecang didn't hesitate, he took out a Gold Condensing Pill and began to ingest it.

With the Gold Condensing Pill ingested, Ye Xuecang's divine sense began to grow wildly, the accumulation of years simultaneously erupted.

The terrifying divine soul, the terrifying true essence, in an instant around him, formed an even more terrifying storm.

And finally, the Three-Color Purple Mansion began condensing into the Golden Core.

During that time, Ye Xuecang didn't know how much time had passed, only that his entire body felt exhausted, filled with thoughts of relaxation.

Moreover, the Three Pristine Qianyuan True Manual within him seemed to have issues.

It felt like the cultivation technique itself had problems, causing him inner astonishment.

But he knew, even if there were problems, he could only push through with gritted teeth.

He could not retreat, behind him stood countless Ye Family members, countless Ye Family mortals, carrying the expectations of countless ancestors.

His mind grew somewhat dazed, a feeling of impending old age.

He heard this feeling only occurred when a cultivator was about to scatter their spirit.

Yet it appeared to him.

He was momentarily stunned.

"Am I going to die?"

His thoughts drifted again, admonishing himself countless times in his heart, he couldn't be like this, must persevere.

...

The shrouding darkness covered the vast mountains, terrifying beast roars shattered the night's silence.

The distant light also covered the entire mountain peak.

"Hurry, protect, protect the array, we must ensure Sheng Yi's breakthrough!"

"Release all spirit beasts, even if other spirit beasts are wary, ignore them, breakthrough first, breakthrough first!"

"Xuecang, why are you standing there stunned, go, that is your father breaking through, you still have the mind to be in a daze here, what did you learn in clan studies?!" The desperate voice snapped Ye Xuecang's dazed eyes into clarity.

Yes, his father was breaking through, he couldn't be like this.

All Ye Family members were working hard in this mountain area.

Choosing the breakthrough location in the Taihang Mountains was his father's decision.

This way, it could be more concealed and not detected by the Taiyi Sect.

However, by the time he realized, it seemed somewhat late, as far away the Silver Moon Demon King and even further the Celestial Crocodile Demon King appeared.

Together with them were countless Silver Moon Pythons and countless Celestial Blood Crocodiles.

These two races were not weak in the Taihang Mountain Range, and today they appeared together.

Of course, the Ye Family also had the Tier Four Demon King, which was the Earth Dragon Demon King, it transformed into a Golden Giant Lizard to block the two demon kings, although it was extremely difficult.

The worst part wasn't the demon kings, but those great demons, too many, in the past the Ye Family was confident in one Purple Mansion standing against three or four same-tier great demons.

But now, one person was facing not three great demons, but almost four or five.

The Ye Family's preparation was still too little this time, the commotion of breaking through to Golden Core attracted not only Silver Moon Lake but also the distant Celestial Blood Pool.

Countless Ye Family members fell into the pools of blood, Ye Xuecang desperately fended them off, but feeling helpless, he could only watch one Ye Family spirit beast fall, and see Ye Family members perish.

Boom!

The array broke.

The Spirit Shield dissipated, the activity at the mountaintop indicated it was the final moment of solidifying the pill.

The hopes of all the Ye Family rested upon it.

Yet, with a hurried influx of an aura, everyone's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

The deafening beast roar seemed to drown out all sound.

Everyone felt their throats being choked, wanting to say something, but unable to, finally hearing only a voice resonate.

"Everyone retreat, leave the Taihang Mountain Range, elder cultivators cover the back, protect the younger cultivators!"

"Xuecang, why are you dazed, retreat, this is an order!"

Ye Xuecang was dazed once more, he was bewildered.

In his eyes were fallen figures, he dared not meet their eyes.

His father had let everyone down, now he and his father had to accept the clan's protection retreat.

A dread welled up within him.

At Lingyun Peak there were innumerable clan members awaiting them, plus the oaths made under the ancestral hall, he didn't know how he could go back.

A stinging pain appeared throughout his body.

Meanwhile, a flash of clarity finally crossed his mind.

He suddenly remembered, this was not reality, it was an illusion, his cultivation technique came from the family, impossible to go wrong, though his father failed a breakthrough, the Ye Family still had a chance.

He already obtained the Gold Condensing Fruit!

"Wake up!"

Ye Xuecang, enduring two drops of tears, shouted forcefully!

He awoke from the illusion realm, discovering his body was bleeding all over, and the Purple Mansion condensing the pill had become a chaotic yuan.

Had he been slower by a fraction, he might have succumbed directly to the Heart Demon Tribulation.

He vaguely heard shouting from outside!

"Everyone, halt the approach of the beast tide, and simultaneously activate the Demon Luring Array of the Four Major Islands!"

It was his father's voice...
