In the North District of Taichang Market, the six-story Taiyi Tower towers over other buildings, even those five stories high, standing a full five feet taller.

Master Miaofa landed beside the tower, gazing at the entire market outside the window. Behind him, a huge, crimson Spirit Diagram was placed upon the Spirit Wall, appearing exceptionally eye-catching.

On the Spirit Diagram, it resembled a shrunken mini-world, with human shadows still flickering across it, though they had been greatly reduced in size.

After a long time, he turned around and looked inside the room.

Inside the room was a dark, black Eight Immortals Table, and an elder sipping Spirit Tea, appearing extraordinarily calm.

"Has Martial Uncle replied?"

"No, he is still in seclusion. However, I've already contacted San Yuan the Daoist from Sword Peak, along with the two Pseudo Golden Core individuals from the Jin Family and the Kong Family. Even if the Three-eyed Demon King allies with the Chenhu Demon King, we can suppress them." Master Xuan Dao saw that Master Miaofa did not speak, so he finished his tea and slowly rose.

"I know what you are worried about, but the Three-eyed Demon King broke the agreement first. This Tier Two Secret Realm very likely contains a Spirit Medicine Garden of the Eight Desolates Sect. Golden Core Elixirs are guaranteed. We've been stuck at the Early Stage of Golden Core for over a century. If we don't make a desperate effort now, we may never reach the Late Stage in our lifetime."

"But the news..." Master Miaofa still hesitated.

"No more 'buts'. Has the incident with the Mo Family made you so cautious? You must know, right now only three peaks are involved. If Martial Peak and Dharma Peak get involved, the two of us might not even get anything good." Xuan Dao spoke again.

"Of course, if remnants of the Eight Desolates Sect emerge, it would be a great merit for us, and perhaps Martial Uncle would even vouch for us!"

Seeing this, Master Miaofa nodded, but he still couldn't help looking out the window.

...

Tai Cang Mountain, Xu Family.

At this moment, many people stood solemnly in the Xu Family main hall.

Moreover, if outsiders were present, they would be amazed to find that the entire Xu Family main hall had eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators, not counting Xu Qingleng, who was far away in Taichang Market.

Even Xu Family Patriarch Xu Wencheng was present off to the side.

Sitting at the head of the hall was a female cultivator with a veil, and opposite her was the Xu Family's ancestor, Xu Chunlin.

Today's Xu Chunlin was more solemn than usual.

The tightly furrowed brows, even a glance at them, filled everyone with apprehension.

"This is your distant ancestor, Xu Hanqing. In this Secret Realm, you must heed Ancestor Hanqing's words." Xu Chunlin spoke.

"Yes, Uncle Chunlin, Ancestor Hanqing." Xu Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators spoke in unison.

"Ancestor, is it true that this Secret Realm hasn't opened for several hundred years?" Xu Wenchang was somewhat hesitant at this moment.

Upon hearing the question, the others focused their attention.

"It's true, but you must pay close attention to that Ye family's lad. If given the chance, eradicate him completely. Less than fifty years old and already at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. Who knows what stroke of luck the Ye family had to produce a Spirit Body!" Xu Chunlin nodded.

"Also, convey Mo Hongyuan's information to Mo Hongwen. That Patriarch is forcefully indoctrinated; impulsive but lacking strategy. He might actively help us get rid of that Ye family's lad."

...

Ye Family's Lingyun Peak, today's weather was exceptionally bright.

The crimson light fell upon the Spirit Lake, casting a golden Spirit Shadow.

Ye Xingliu stood before the Spirit Lake, his shadow cast into the lake, undulating with the ripples.

After a while, as the lake opened two paths, Ye Xingliu slowly walked into the passage.

Within the passage's room, Ye Xuecang seemed to have just completed his cultivation.

"Second Uncle, this is the message from Jingcheng; please have a look." Ye Xingliu handed over the Jade Talisman.

The latter glanced at it and did not seem surprised.

He merely said,

"No need to worry. Those from the Celestial Corpse Sect are probably after that Purple Sun Demon Corpse. Back when the Desolate Suppression Lineage was expanding the Tier Three Mini-World, they found a Demon Corpse, I suspect it is suppressed within this Secret Realm. Perfect for stirring the waters for us. After this, arrange for Jingyu to go to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain." Ye Xuecang said.

Ye Xingliu nodded at this, though he hadn't moved, still wanting to hear more.

The secrets of the Ye family were scarcely known, even to Ye Xingliu.

Ye Xuecang glanced at Ye Xingliu, who then sheepishly smiled and was about to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuecang spoke once more,

"The Ye Family hasn't reached the point where we can show our cards. You only need to know that we belong to the Beast Desolate Lineage."

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for informing me. Xingliu understands, so this time?" Though Ye Xingliu didn't know the full origins of the Ye Family, he was quite excited.

The Eight Desolates Sect was recorded in historical accounts; over a thousand years ago, it was a Great Sect in the Yan Kingdom, having multiple Nascent Souls within its ranks. However, one night it was completely destroyed, all mini-worlds occupied.

The territory is now occupied by the Qinghe Sect.

Now Ye Xingliu understood why the Ye Family never wanted to extend beyond the Taiyi Three Commanderies to develop in the east.

After all, Qinghe Sect is at its peak, even stronger than the Taiyi Sect.

It also controls the Upper Qing River.

Countless Spirit Vein resources.

The Ye Family attempting to cross it truly risked exposure.

"Bring more Spirit Beasts, and quickly gather the Spirit Stones Jingcheng needs. They're treasures for refining High-tier Storage Rings or High-tier Storage Bags. Jingcheng might surprise us." Ye Xuecang wasn't concerned with other ideas Ye Xingliu's might have. Exposing the affiliation with the Eight Desolates Sect, he believed, wasn't significant. The Ye Family's profound mystery required no more explanation.
