Chapter 1035 - 314: Exotic Treasure, Jade Mirror of Azure

Shen Chongming wasn’t sure if the old beggar could understand his intentions.

The two just stared at each other, and moments later, the old beggar left without saying a word.

Shen Chongming wasn’t worried that anything would happen to him.

Celestial Demon He Yi had said that there was barely anything in this world that could harm a Dao Slave.

If the old beggar could cause chaos on East Yue Island, he would have the chance to seek out Shen Xiuchan and find out why he was on East Yue Island instead of the Five Elements Secret Realm.

East Yue Island, deep within the ancestral hall of the Ge Family’s old mansion.

An elderly man with white hair, wearing a dark purple robe and a gaunt face, was seated cross-legged.

This elder was the Ge Family’s ancestor and its strongest member, Ge Minghong, who had reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Before Ge Minghong laid a delicate Jade Box and two high-quality Jade Bottles.

He was breathing steadily, with spiritual power flowing slowly through his body, seemingly trying to adjust himself to the best state.

Tap!

Tap!

...

Footsteps echoed in the slightly dim hall.

Ge Minghong suddenly opened his eyes, gazing sharply at the newcomer.

"Mingshuo, ah."

Seeing the visitor was the Purple Mansion Realm elder who had welcomed Shen Chongming earlier, Ge Minghong’s gaze softened, and a slightly hoarse voice spoke.

Ge Mingshuo came forward and slightly bowed, saying, "How is the preparation coming along, elder brother?"

"Are you confident of successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm this time?"

His tone was tinged with envy and anticipation.

The Ge Family had occupied East Yue Island for thousands of years, accumulating its foundation through generations.

Ge Minghong, the elder brother before him, was lauded as the most talented prodigy the Ge Family had seen in centuries.

Since he began cultivation, Ge Minghong advanced rapidly, reaching the Purple Mansion Realm before he turned two hundred, making him the family’s best hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.

Unfortunately, after entering the Purple Mansion Realm, Ge Minghong’s luck seemed to run out.

It took nearly two hundred years to progress from the early stage to the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Afterward, his cultivation stalled for another century without any advancement.

Thus, the Ge Family began gathering resources and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in an effort to elevate him to the Nascent Soul True Monarch level.

Last month, the appearance of Huang Lingshan brought him hope.

Ge Minghong sensed that the Virgin Primordial Yin of a Purple Mansion Realm female cultivator, coupled with her Dao Practice and the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures the family had gathered over the years, could significantly enhance his strength, providing him with a chance to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm!

"Everything is under control."

Ge Minghong gave a somewhat ambiguous reply, then shifted his tone: "Yesterday, I felt an outsider arrived on East Yue Island, what is going on?"

At the critical moment of striving for the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, he was more cautious than ever.

"Elder brother, it’s two loose cultivators who wish to exchange some cultivation resources on East Yue Island."

"Upon hearing of elder brother’s joy, they wanted to share in the celebration and also offered congratulatory gifts."

Upon hearing this, Ge Minghong frowned: "Are you certain there won’t be any issues?"

Ge Mingshuo slightly bowed: "Rest assured, elder brother. One is at the early stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, the other only has Spiritual Power fluctuations of the Fetal Breathing Realm. Everything is under control."

"I also felt that the more we tried to hide, the more suspicious it became."

"Better to invite them to the island first. Whether they live or die is for us to decide."

Ge Minghong nodded slightly at this.

"What about that Yun Yuejiao?"

"If it helps to refine a batch of Sixth Grade Yin Yang Harmony Pills for me, the chance of breakthrough should increase by ten percent."

Ge Mingshuo shook his head with a wry smile: "Changhao asked, but that old creature remains stubborn as ever..."

"To have it serve our Ge Family, it still requires elder brother to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm and forcibly refine and enslave it."

"Yet doing so will cause it to lose potential for further growth."

Ge Minghong snorted coldly: "It brought this upon itself!"

"With its alchemical skills, already capable of refining Sixth Grade Pills at the Purple Mansion Realm, it is sufficient for our Ge Family."

"Focus on those two loose cultivators, make sure they don’t cause any trouble for me..."

Ge Minghong hadn’t finished speaking when a powerful wave of Spiritual Power surged from the east of East Yue Island!

Following this were chaotic sounds and the roaring of techniques!

Hearing the commotion, Ge Minghong sprang to his feet!

With a sweep of his late-stage Purple Mansion Realm Divine Sense, he saw many Ge Family cultivators chasing a raggedly clothed freak, shouting and attacking!

That freak wasn’t fighting back, just frantically running around despite being bombarded by techniques!

Ge Mingshuo beside him clearly saw this too, his expression uneasy.

He had just assured his elder brother that Shen Chongming and the old beggar wouldn’t cause any issues, that everything was under control.

Unexpectedly, reality contradicted him so quickly.

"Do not worry, elder brother, I’ll handle it right away,"

After a slight bow to Ge Minghong, Ge Mingshuo’s figure flashed and darted out.

Meanwhile, other Purple Mansion Realm cultivators of the Ge Family were also alerted by the commotion.

Soon enough, almost every Ge Family cultivator was drawn in by the old beggar, and a variety of techniques flew towards him.

In the eyes of these Ge Family cultivators, the old beggar was merely a cultivator of the Fetal Breathing Realm.
