At the end of the secret realm lies a vast rainforest.
The forest is incredibly dense, with a thin layer of mist spreading throughout.
From a distance, it looks like a sea of clouds, with visibility becoming extremely low.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu have once again changed their appearances to resemble sect cultivators.
Due to the presence of the treasure diagram, using their original faces here would be inappropriate.
Wearing a spirit-blocking robe on top ensures that, as long as they don't use common spirit beasts, few people would recognize them.
Upon seeing the sea of mist, both frowned slightly.
This kind of place is extremely favorable for cultivators skilled in concealment techniques.
For them, it is somewhat vexing.
After all, they need to constantly maintain their information security.
"Third Uncle, my Jade Qilin Flood Dragon will have a great advantage here!" Ye Jingcheng said.
This place's pervasive mist feels like home territory for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.
Moreover, its poisonous fog becomes even more unpredictable here.
The two used the Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique to suppress their fluctuations.
Cautiously moving forward.
The battle fluctuations ahead grew increasingly intense.
However, they soon saw that it wasn't magical combat, but breaking an array.
Forcibly breaking an array.
The appearance of the array made them even more cautious.
They tread even more lightly, using eye power instead of divine sense.
Ye Xingliu obviously practiced the eye technique secret technique, and as his pupils rotated slightly, he gestured towards Ye Jingcheng to pause.
"It's the Xu Family cultivators!" Ye Xingliu communicated with Ye Jingcheng using a sound transmission token.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng became anxious.
After all, the Mo Family had already left a mark on him, so the Xu Family might have his information too.
This meant their concealment was ineffective.
However, what puzzled Ye Jingcheng was the lack of movement at the end of the sea of mist, as if they were unaware of their presence.
"Third Uncle, is the Mo Family not here?" Ye Jingcheng asked.
"No, they're not, but they're currently using an array to break another, and it's a battle array, so we have some trouble." Ye Xingliu continued to communicate.
Ye Jingcheng understood the implication of the trouble: they might have to leave.
The Xu Family brought seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, with one at the late stage and three in the middle stage. The battle array they were deploying was likely more terrifying than a typical late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Especially since these were family cultivators, their teamwork and coordination were high.
Moreover, the most formidable was the Xu Family female cultivator.
That late-stage Foundation Establishment was no less challenging than a sect's core disciple.
"Let's set up the array first!" Ye Xingliu said, taking out the array banner and disc to prepare the Great Sun Flame Dragon Array. However, in this place, the array's power would also be greatly diminished.
The abundance of water and rainforest here significantly suppressed such fire attribute arrays, though Ye Xingliu had no choice.
The most powerful array they had was the Great Sun Flame Dragon Array.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also took out a few beads from his hand. His strongest treasures were these, and now having obtained the Gold Condensing Fruit Tree, if the treasure ahead was valuable enough, he wouldn't mind having the Xu Family cultivators taste the beads.
Relieved after preparing the beads, he released the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon once more.
The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon moved silently within the mist, its inverted triangular eyes looking particularly eager.
"My Jade Qilin Flood Dragon senses a high-tier spirit fruit maturing ahead," Ye Jingcheng communicated using the clan token.
"It should be. From the array perspective, that area belongs to the Dragon Ascension Land of this vast rainforest, and the spirit veins might exceed second tier. If not for the secret realm's restriction, a Purple Mansion Great Demon might emerge here," Ye Xingliu nodded.
"Moreover, the array is man-made, and there might be treasures placed inside, possibly even those capable of breaking through great realms!"
This was also the main reason he insisted on the array.
Besides that, there was also a sense of grievance.
The Xu Family had made multiple moves against the Ye Family, and while the Ye Family didn't want them to fall, they wouldn't mind significantly depleting their resources. At that time, the Ye Family could develop more smoothly.
Ye Xingliu continued with the array formation while Ye Jingcheng and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon kept an eye on the front.
At this moment, a mirror appeared before him; knowing the other side might be aware of them and were setting up an array without interference,
he decided not to be as cautious as before, directly taking out the Memory Mirror to observe.
Seeing through the Memory Mirror, he found the eight Xu Family members were bombarding an array from eight directions. The cold attribute cultivator at the forefront kept launching extreme cold arrows, piercing the array.
Yet, this array seemed excessively robust, occupying Dragon Vein Land with endless spiritual energy. Even without cultivator control, it could exhibit unimaginable power.
The arrows dispersed into spiritual light upon hitting the spirit shield, causing massive noise, with a small crack appearing on the spirit shield.
Now, Ye Jingcheng was puzzled, wondering why the Xu Family wasn't setting up an array to isolate this fluctuation.
After all, the Xu Family was also a Purple Mansion Clan.
Surely they had arrays.
Not long after, he understood.
The sky suddenly lit up with lightning.
Lightning arcs streaked across the misty forest, resounding thunderously, even spreading into a sea of electricity around.
Most importantly, a thunder net descended towards the female Xu Family cultivator.
Ye Jingcheng quickly realized why the Xu Family didn't set up an array.
It wasn't that they didn't set one up, but that their arrays couldn't withstand it for long.
Thus, they relied on battle arrays instead.
As the thunder net surged, the Xu Family cultivators began forming different spirit techniques.
Producing a layer of armor, colliding with the thunder net.
The light armor instantly shattered into spiritual light.
The thunder net immediately lost its force, easily destroyed by a casual swing of the cold ruler from the cold attribute cultivator.
Ye Jingcheng became interested in the thunder net but soon noticed small horned insects the size of a baby's fist emerging within the spirit shield.
These horned insects had horns similar to rhinoceros horns, protruding high and arched, their length not smaller than the insect's body.
Furthermore, the horns were blue.
"Thunder Rhinoceros Insect!" Ye Jingcheng was surprised.
These Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, as rare as the Star-Feeding Fish, were one of the few spirit insects that the Ye Family members had long sought.
Even if there were no other spirit fruits, he wasn't willing to walk away.
The Thunder Rhinoceros Insects could, at their most potent, reach third tier, and once their swarm grew large, nearly no cultivator could resist it.
The gathered thunder net, even surpassing the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects in some cultivation, might not hold them back.
Moreover, as their numbers increased, the thunder net's power would also augment.
The only drawback was the difficulty in breeding these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects; they were nothing like ordinary spirit insects.
