Ye Linyuan was not clear about Yuanyue Cave's plan at this time.
With his current fourth-level intermediate level attainment of divine power and the black tortoise armor, he was still unable to detect Master Yuanyue's plan.
However, with his current attainment in Tianji, coupled with the concealing effect of the Black Turtle Armor and the Black Turtle Breath-concealing Technique, he can also hide most of his methods.
At least he was confident that even a fourth-rank, top-grade master of astronomy would not be able to uncover his true identity.
There is only one Tianji Master who is above the fourth level in the entire Haotian Ancient Realm, and that person is the supreme giant of the Tianji lineage, the master of Tianyan Tower.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan was not overly afraid of Zhenjun Yuanyue. He put more energy into cultivation and management.
Not long after the Nascent Soul Ceremony ended, news of a Nascent Soul breakthrough was heard from the Floating Fairy Island. It turned out that Chu Dongyu, Minghuang Jianzi and others had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm one after another.
With Ye Linyuan's support, the two of them have sufficient preparations for the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. With the help of the ancient famous sword, it can be said that the success rate of breaking through to the False Infant stage is not low.
The first one to attempt a breakthrough was the Minghuang Sword Master. About three months later, the Minghuang Sword Master naturally broke through to the False Infant Realm and became the Minghuang Sword Master from then on.
The second person to make a breakthrough was Chu Dongyu, but unfortunately Chu Dongyu ultimately failed. He died at the last step of breaking the pill and transforming into an infant, and all his Taoist energy was returned to the Ancient Sword of the Rising Sun.
Ye Linyuan also felt a little regretful about this. In fact, Chu Dongyu's foundation was slightly stronger than that of Minghuang Sword Lord. He almost cultivated a superior golden elixir back then.
Unfortunately, he was unable to break through due to the lack of Qianyuan Lihuo, which was even related to Ye Linyuan.
After all, in order to obtain the Qianyuan Lihuo, Chu Dongyu waited for hundreds of years, just to cultivate the superior golden elixir. Otherwise, he could have formed the elixir a hundred years earlier.
If Ye Linyuan had not taken away the blood fruit that the Black Dragon Demon Realm had been spying on for many years, causing the Black Dragon Demon King's lineage to fall out with the Tianxing Sword Sect, Chu Dongyu's hope of obtaining the Qianyuan Lihuo should have been quite good.
If Chu Dongyu had obtained the Qianyuan Lihuo back then and taken this opportunity to cultivate the superior golden elixir, he would have been able to become the first sequence of the Tianxing Sword Sect.
With the cultivation of the Tianxing Sword Sect at that time, his cultivation would have been able to break through the late Jindan stage earlier. Coupled with the spiritual nourishment of the Xu Ri Ancient Sword, his cultivation might have already reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage.
Although he later broke through to the late Jindan stage and was able to awaken the ancient sword spirit for a long time, he was already too old, which led to the ancient sword spirit believing that he did not have much investment value.
Therefore, Chu Dongyu did not receive very good cultivation and could not be nourished by the ancient sword spirit with its own Taoism like the Hongxu Sword Master.
So one step wrong leads to all steps wrong. That small step wrong back then caused Chu Dongyu to waste his whole life and never reach the great perfection of the Golden Elixir, and finally died in the catastrophe of breaking through the Nascent Soul.
"Pity."
Ye Linyuan felt a little regretful. Chu Dongyu was a talented genius, but it was a pity that because of the butterfly effect caused by Ye Linyuan's intervention, he ended up like this.
Although Ye Linyuan did not do it on purpose, he still changed a person's fate.
However, Ye Linyuan was just feeling sorry, but he didn't regret anything. He had committed so many murders in his previous life, but his faith in Taoism had never wavered in the slightest. Naturally, he wouldn't regret changing their fate because of an unintentional action.
Besides, if there had not been that bloodline fruit back then, Ye Linyuan would not have been sure of cultivating so many true spirit relics to protect him. Without the true spirit relics to protect him, Ye Linyuan's golden elixir tribulation would probably have been several times more difficult.
Suppressing this thought, Ye Linyuan looked at Minghuang Sword Master who had successfully broken through, and nodded slightly.
The biggest help for Minghuang Sword Master to break through the false infant state this time was actually Minghuang’s two ancient Qingque swords.
Although he, like Chu Dongyu, is not favored by the ancient famous swords, but the two ancient swords can have the effect of one plus one being greater than two even with just a little support.
Therefore, this time, Minghuang Sword Master successfully broke through the false infant state.
Moreover, after Minghuang Sword Master's breakthrough, with the help of two ancient famous swords, his strength is still at the top level of the False Infant Realm, and is even close to the realm of an ordinary Nascent Soul in the early stage.
Generally speaking, a top-level fake infant can fight against two ordinary fake infants, and an ordinary Yuanying in the early stage can fight against three ordinary fake infants.
The strength of Minghuang Sword Master is probably close to the early Nascent Soul stage, and is slightly stronger than Tiancang Sword Master back then.
"After Minghuang Sword Master's breakthrough, it is almost like having another Yuanying early stage fighter."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
Although an early Nascent Soul was nothing in his eyes, it was still a great help to the Ye family. At least it could be used to suppress a territory or resist a Nascent Soul Demon King.
"Om-"
Not long after Minghuang Sword Master made a breakthrough, a majestic aura emanated from the depths of the Floating Fairy Island.
But an infinite vortex appeared between heaven and earth, and then an extremely powerful aura almost separated the entire sky.
"Such a strong void force, she successfully broke the elixir and formed a baby."
Ye Linyuan looked up and showed a little surprise.
The ability to form a vortex of spiritual energy means that the other party has successfully condensed the Nascent Soul. The next step is to wait until the Nascent Soul absorbs sufficient spiritual energy.
Compared with Minghuang Jianjun and others, Ye Linyuan is more interested in Ye Feiwan. After all, she has the potential to cultivate into the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.
Now that the step of breaking the pill and becoming an infant has been taken, it also means that Ye Feiwan’s breakthrough is about to reach the most critical moment.
About a month later, the vortex of spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually began to disappear, and the calamity clouds began to take shape. Ye Feiwan finally walked out slowly from the retreat room.
But he looked up at the sky calmly, then walked up to the sky and faced the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.
Ye Feiwan was well prepared for this breakthrough. In addition to preparing the purple thunder armor, the ocean refining heart pill, the golden pill for escaping the tribulation, Ye Linyuan also prepared a piece of thunder wood for herself.
In addition, his Hongxu Ancient Sword has been further unsealed, restoring some of the power of the ancient spiritual sword.
Therefore, Ye Feiwan could be said to have been methodical in this breakthrough, and he eventually survived the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul Tribulation without any major danger.
After Ye Feiwan's breakthrough, his strength directly reached the top level of the early Nascent Soul stage. With the blessing of the ancient famous sword, he even possessed the strength of a half-step to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Although in terms of explosive power, Ye Feiwan is not as good as Ye Xuqiu, and he does not have the mysterious magical power of the Golden Eyes to see through the truth and seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
However, the combination of Hongxu Sword Technique and Hongxu Ancient Sword can break through a small section of the void, which is very useful whether for fighting or saving lives.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, as long as Ye Feiwan accumulates for two hundred years in the early Nascent Soul stage, he should have the strength of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
And by that time, he should be considered a difficult person in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
"Thank you for your cultivation."
After Ye Feiwan successfully broke through, he slowly descended from the sky and bowed respectfully to Ye Linyuan. Ye Linyuan nodded calmly, then smiled and said, "Go and consolidate your cultivation."
"His strength is stronger than that of an ordinary Heavenly Dao Yuanying."
Seeing Ye Feiwan leaving, Shui Hanqing walked up and spoke with some surprise.
Ye Linyuan nodded and said calmly: "Those cultivators who embark on the path of ancient sword covenant often have stronger strength than those of the same level because of the blessing of the ancient sword."
"But her success and failure are both due to the sword. In the future, her cultivation level will at most be one realm lower than that of the sword spirit when she was alive. I'm afraid she can only stop at the late stage of the Nascent Soul at most. I'm afraid she doesn't have as much potential as you."
Shui Hanqing nodded, but said with emotion: "But in this era, cultivation resources and Dao essence are scarce, and most of the Heavenly Dao Yuanying can only stop at the middle stage of Yuanying."
"Being able to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage is what most people dream of."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In this era, the great Dao is not obvious, the spiritual energy is thin, and all kinds of rare treasures are too rare. Therefore, most of the Yuanying of the Heavenly Dao may not be able to wait for the opportunity to break through to the late Yuanying stage.
On the contrary, this path of contracting spirits with limited prospects seems to be much more powerful.
"You don't have to envy her. With me to support you, your chances of reaching the late Nascent Soul stage in the future are not low."
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Ye Linyuan spoke calmly.
Today, he has more than 1,300 cycles of magical power, and has opened up three acres of top-quality spiritual fields in the Xuanyuan Taoist Palace.
As time goes by, the size of his top-grade spiritual field will increase exponentially.
When one day his cultivation breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage and he opens up hundreds of acres of top-quality spiritual fields, he can even produce top-quality third-grade spiritual medicines in large quantities.
By that time, Shui Hanqing and others would certainly have no shortage of resources to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
"..."
With Ye Feiwan's breakthrough, the strength of this affiliated force of the Tianxing Sword Sect increased greatly. The Ye family's immortal clan greatly expanded its core strength and gained a large number of backbone-level talents.
With the addition of this group of people, the development of the entire Ye family began to improve rapidly.
In the following years, the Ye Immortal Clan began to take three steps at the same time. The first step was to directly absorb a large number of independent cultivators and families who had lost their family residences in the Eastern Region, in order to expand the scale of the Ye Immortal Clan's forces.
The second step was to unite the Five Elements Taoist Sect, the Vajra Sect, the Blood-Tasting Royal Family, and the Giant Sea Crocodile Family to launch a counterattack against the Black Abyss Dragon Palace.
These four major forces have been fighting with the Black Abyss Dragon Palace for hundreds of years and have long formed a blood feud with the Black Abyss Dragon Palace. Naturally, they will not let go of such a good opportunity now.
So, under the leadership of the leader Ye Linyuan, they took advantage of the fact that the Black Abyss Dragon Palace had suffered heavy casualties and formed a coalition force to counterattack the Black Abyss Dragon Palace.
This war lasted only ten years, and the coalition forces were almost unstoppable along the way, driving the Black Abyss Dragon Palace out of the Eastern Region in just ten years.
They couldn't even hold their base camp in the Eastern Region, the Black Prison Islands, and were forcibly captured by Ye Linyuan and his men.
"After three hundred years, we finally made it back."
After completely conquering the Black Prison Islands, the Nascent Soul Demon Kings of both the human and demon races showed expressions of emotion.
Especially Meng Nanfeng and the two Yuanying Zhenjun of the Five Elements Taoist Sect, there was a sense of joy in their eyes.
Three hundred years ago, in the battle of the Black Prison Islands, the Five Elements Taoist Sect's backbone was almost completely broken because the seven guardian beasts and the sacred beasts were instigated to rebel.
After that battle, it became one of the turning points in the entire Eastern Region battlefield.
After that, even with the support of the Central Region and the Northern Region, and the joint efforts of the Five Elements Taoist Sect and other four major forces, they were still defeated.
For ordinary Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivators, almost several generations have been buried in wars.
But this battle was different. Ye Linyuan killed the four Dragon Kings of the Black Abyss Dragon Palace in one battle. After that, the human and demon races took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and the Black Abyss Dragon Palace's subordinates were chased and killed for tens of millions of miles.
After killing so many people here, even the Black Abyss Dragon Palace didn’t dare to defend the Black Fish Islands and retreated directly back to its old nest in the Southern Region.
It can be said that this battle was an unprecedented victory, which directly changed the war situation in the Eastern Region and even caused the other six dragon palaces to temporarily slow down their offensive.
In order to prevent Ye Linyuan from having time to attack them, the other five dragon palaces began to build fortifications and formations based on the existing terrain.
"After this battle, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace no longer has the power to counterattack. We will have at least two hundred years to recover."
The King Kong Sect Leader also spoke slowly, revealing a smile.
When everyone heard this, a smile appeared on their faces. Now that the Black Abyss Dragon Palace had been defeated, more than 50% of its demon clans had been killed, and many of the others had already fled. It would be extremely difficult to regroup.
The most crucial thing is that the three most elite forces under his command, the blue crab, red shrimp and black dragon, were all targeted and strangled.
After Ye Linyuan stopped the Black Abyss Dragon Emperor, several Nascent Soul True Lords freed up their hands to hunt down these Taoist soldiers.
This resulted in the two elite Taoist soldiers, the blue crab and the red shrimp, being almost completely slaughtered by the Yuanying Zhenjuns. These were elite Taoist soldiers numbering over 200,000, and almost all of them were elite soldiers above the foundation building stage.
It would take at least two to three hundred years to restore the population size of the two great Taoist armies, and it would require a huge investment of resources.
Now that the Black Abyss Dragon Palace has been defeated, it will certainly not be an easy task to train so many elite Taoist soldiers again.
In addition, the Black Dragon Taoist Soldiers were also hunted down in a targeted manner. However, because the Black Dragon Taoist Soldiers were all at the Golden Core stage of cultivation, their transfer speed and ability to survive were much stronger.
Therefore, in this battle, the Black Dragon Taoist soldiers were not completely wiped out, but about 30% of them were killed. It can be said that hundreds of dragons were killed in one battle.
It can be said that after suffering such heavy losses, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace had no ability to counterattack the Eastern Region again within two hundred years.
With only the remaining eight Nascent Soul Demon Kings, they can only fight guerrilla warfare at best, and have lost the ability to attack the sacred mountains of the major sects head-on.
Moreover, with Ye Linyuan, the Yuanying Overlord, around, if they dared to fight guerrilla warfare, they would be in danger of being surrounded and killed.
"With a mid-Nascent Soul level overlord in charge, this war is indeed very easy to fight."
The leader of the Blood-Tasting Clan also spoke, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Ye Linyuan.
Ye Linyuan was indeed very calm. He just looked at the Black Prison Islands in front of him and said, "The war has come to an end for the time being. Next, let's discuss how to distribute the results of the war and who to arrange to guard this place." (End of this chapter)
