Chapter 563: Chapter 454: The Gathering of Elders, Power of the Celestial River Bead (Double-Length) The crimson light fell on the sea surface, casting a scarlet glow. Two Spiritual Ships came from different places and met here. The Spirit Shuttle stopped a few feet away, but two waves from different directions crashed together. Then a few figures landed on the sea surface. "Great Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng smiled as he saw the emerging figure. Ever since the Yellow Ginseng Fruit ripened, the three of them had hurriedly packed up the Black Armored Scorpion and rushed here, only to unexpectedly meet by chance. Of course, Ye Haicheng was not alone in coming; beside him were Turtle Ancestor, Ye Xueliang, Ye Haiyu, and also two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Sea Generation. Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation. This Ye Family gathering should count as a gathering of most of the Ye Family’s high-level cultivators. It’s not that Ye Jingli or Ye Xingyi are unqualified, but they must remain visible. Just like Ye Jingyu can’t come, Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu probably can’t come either. "Not bad, Jingcheng! Your aura is stronger again!" Ye Haicheng beamed with joy. Of course, at this time, only he could say such a thing, as all the elders here had lower cultivation than Ye Jingcheng. At this moment, Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu’s faces were strange. Although Ye Haicheng broke through earlier than Ye Jingcheng, they truly had no clue who was stronger between these two in their hearts now. They even felt if they competed, Ye Jingcheng might have a better chance of winning. That’s why their expressions were somewhat unusual. "I learned a little something in the Outer Sea; Great Uncle praises too highly." Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands. After some brief niceties, everyone proceeded towards the deeper part of the sea. Here, they often encountered Demon Beasts. However, the cultivation of the Demon Beasts was not high, mostly Tier One or Tier Two, with few Tier Three. After traveling a bit further, the sea surface shimmered, with only fish swimming, there were no other Demon Beasts. "We’re almost there. This Cangyin Island used to belong to a Great Demon Sea Shaking Turtle. The Sea Shaking Turtle cannot stand other Demon Beasts, being timid yet fierce!" Seeing the curious glances from the others, Ye Haicheng explained. The sea’s Demon Beasts are actually similar to those on the continent, some like to live in groups, others prefer solitude. The Sea Shaking Turtle is one that likes solitude. This territory of the Great Demon is naturally the best place for breakthroughs. In the midst of speaking, a large patch of Spiritual Mist appeared ahead. This Spiritual Mist, even under the blazing sun, did not disperse, remaining mystical and enigmatic. Upon reaching the Spiritual Mist, Ye Haicheng directly lifted half his sleeve to reveal the Beast Communication Pattern. The mist quickly parted, revealing a path leading to a huge island at its end. On the island, there were still a few figures present. Ye Jingcheng, having seen many of the Ye family’s ancestors and elder family members from the family records, could barely recognize that standing at the forefront, wearing a clean white robe, with white sideburns like an Exiled Immortal, was the fourth of the Ye family’s Xue Generation, Ye Xuefan. He was also a Middle Stage Purple Mansion Array Master. "Fourth Uncle Ancestor!" "Fourth Uncle!" "Fourth Great Uncle!" With different calls, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingliu, and the others respectfully landed in front of the island. Ye Xuefan carried an air of scholarly elegance, his eyes were bright and piercing. "Everyone is here, come in!" Ye Xuefan spoke, his voice very calm. When the group entered, they saw that the entire island was already basking in Spiritual Radiance. This Spiritual Radiance was the result of Spiritual Energy gathering, somewhat like Ye Jingcheng’s Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven. But in his Grotto Heaven, it was limited to a corner. Whereas here, it nearly covered half the island. This was enough to show how grand the breakthrough into the Golden Core would be. Many, like Ye Jingcheng, were surprised, evidently not the only ones here for the first time. After Ye Haicheng and the others entered, they did not move around randomly, instead, they sat on the spot and began meditating. Ye Jingcheng naturally did not want to stand out, so he too sat down to meditate. After roughly one incense stick’s time, disturbances were heard outside the mist. A Spiritual Ship also entered, another one of the Ye Family’s Hidden Islands. By this time, there were already fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators on the island, more than the last gathering at Wangyue Lake. And Ye Xuefan had yet to speak. This indicated that not everyone had arrived. Simultaneously, he knew that many Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t make it. Sure enough, after another three hours, a Spirit Shuttle appeared from afar. This wasn’t a Tier Two Spirit Shuttle, but a Tier Three Spirit Shuttle. Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng knew that in recent years, the Ye Family should have a new member in the Purple Mansion. "Fourth Uncle!" Another deep voice rang out, the mist parted, and a broad-faced cultivator stepped onto the island. "Big Brother!" This person first greeted Ye Xuefan, then turned to Ye Haicheng. Ye Jingcheng finally knew who this person was. Ye Haige, the head of Crane Concealment, and the Beast Communicator of Mei Yuhe. He was the twenty-third of the Sea Generation and was now evidently in the Purple Mansion. This meant that the Ye Family now had six in the Purple Mansion. However, this Twenty-Third Great Uncle with such thick eyebrows and big eyes was somewhat different from what Ye Jingcheng had imagined. Following Ye Haige, there were four more Ye Family Members, two from the Sea Generation, and two from the Xing Generation. Among them, the two from the Sea Generation were both at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, while Ye Xingyi and Ye Xinghui of the Xing Generation were at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment. The number of family members present exceeded twenty people. "Haige, not bad recently!" Ye Haicheng, upon seeing Ye Haige greet, also spoke.
