The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 764 - 314: Summit of the Mountain

Ye Lanlan’s deep and steady voice echoed in the cave made of stalactites.

Ye Hanjun neither agreed nor disagreed, if a pure-blood descendant of the Holy Saint Embryo really appeared here, it could indeed attract the covetous hearts of some clansmen.

However, this was not absolute, the members of the Night Family were well-versed and well-traveled, and offending other powerful clansmen for a piece of unconfirmed potential required extra consideration of pros and cons.

"I’m tired, let’s rest."

After discussing for a while, Ye Hanjun closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Okay."

Ye Lanlan’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and he soon began to absorb the Dark Element around him, slowly making his breath long and steady.

"Ooh..."

The tiger cub in his arms stared with its eyes wide open, never daring to fall fully asleep.

But gradually, an overwhelming fatigue surged up.

The drowsy evil-sound tiger finally fell into a deep sleep, drooling from the corners of its mouth.

...

The next day, around noon, Ye Hanjun was the first to awaken.

With a passive ability like "Devil Heart," his vitality was already extraordinary compared to ordinary people.

After a brief adjustment, all sluggishness was swept away, and he again appeared lively and spirited.

"Being in the same room as your Highness, even though your Highness deliberately yields, the Dark Element here is reluctant to be commanded by me. The recovery efficiency is lower than expected..."

Seemingly aware of Ye Hanjun’s awakening, Ye Lanlan did not open his eyes but murmured with a slight sigh:

"Your Highness need not wait for this old body; you may initiate the mountain climb first."

"I need another day of meditation, to recover to a full state as much as possible before I dare continue forward."

"Then, good luck."

Ye Hanjun left behind a bottle of recovery pills, remnants of Ye Lanlan, and withdrew.

Because he had an ability like "Sudden Calamity," he did not wish to walk shoulder to shoulder with his clansmen.

Especially for an elder like Ye Lanlan, whose strength was average, the chances of dragging him into fatal trouble were significantly high, making it unnecessary to stay together.

"Let’s go!!"

"A new day begins again!!"

GuaGua, who had sneakily taken a nap, was also brimming with energy.

In its eyes, this was less an adventure and more like a big family outing.

"Human Master, remember, this Immortal is still missing a lackey!"

"You still have two left of your heart slaves, you must subdue an Avian Creature!"

The summoned Goose Immortal was mostly recovered.

While sharpening its knife against undead souls, it exclaimed loudly:

"This Immortal is kind of missing Sha right now."

"This confounded grand tomb has too few birds suitable for this Immortal."

"Wanting to apply ’Feather’s Blessing,’ and accumulate bird marks for ’All Birds Return to The Nest,’ the efficiency is terribly poor."

"Big Iron Goose, Little Black Hat has wings too; you can bless her!" GuaGua suggested.

"How many times have I tried? Did you not see?"

Goose Immortal glanced sideways, "Having wings doesn’t necessarily mean a mark can be branded."

"Huazhu might not be completely ineffective, it can brand a blurred mark."

"But this Immortal’s blessing on her ultimately wasted quite a bit of energy, no matter how I think about it, it’s annoying."

"What exactly is the principle?"

GuaGua cocked its head:

"Some blessings double the results with half the effort, benefiting both sides greatly."

"Some blessings double the effort with half the results, leaving both sides with meager gains."

"This Immortal feels...the closer to the Feather Clan, the better the effect!"

"If I could brand a bunch of Feather Clan’s marks, this Immortal’s ’All Birds Return to The Nest’ could definitely rival the Unique and Unmatched Technique."

In mid-flight, Goose Immortal split the undead waves with its wing, eyes flashing as it said:

"Like that Black Phoenix, if I could conquer her, just branding a mark every now and then while idle."

"When it comes to battle, flapping the wings and gathering hundreds of Black Phoenixes to this Immortal’s body, the burst of combat power in a flash would definitely terrify the enemy and shatter their souls!"

"Black Phoenix... I’d still advise you to consider it carefully."

Ye Hanjun touched his forehead, and somewhat speechlessly said:

"She already has a master, with endless chances, how could she just idle by your side waiting for your blessing?"

"The other Feather Clan, it’s not that I don’t want to find them for you."

"Golden Crow, Roc, Heavenly Dog, Jingwei Bird, Zhongming Bird, Cinnabar Sparrow, Xuan Bird, Feather Jia... the well-known Feather Clans are almost without exception Holy Saint Embryos; with our current level, we simply can’t reach them."

"This Immortal is still too weak."

Goose Immortal, not sighing but rather spiritedly, said:

"The sword’s edge comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom’s fragrance from the bitter cold!"

"Accumulating steps leads to thousands of miles, and accumulating streams leads to rivers and seas!"

"This Immortal wants to enjoy the scenery along the way, lay a solid foundation, and then aim for the pinnacle!"

"Rip!!"

A group of twisted-necked ghost souls scattered, Goose Immortal ignored them and continued to charge forward.

Ye Hanjun, following behind, stood on the shoulder of a Giant Shield Demon Image, doing his best to survey the whole situation and guard against potential dangers.

"Immortal, 2000 meters to the right, there’s a bow-shaped Evil Ghost targeting you, watch your defense!"

"Huazhu, scatter the ’Wall Ghosts’ ahead, don’t let them form an encirclement!"

"GuaGua, Mirror Casting, target the amulet frog, and use frost curses on all to weaken the ghost soldiers and generals on the flanks!"

...

Ye Hanjun did not join the battle, doing his duty diligently playing the role of a commander.

Under his command, the assault team advanced like a sharp sword, sprinting rapidly towards the mountain peak.

"Huh? Ye Hanjun?!"

Halfway up the mountain, over five kilometers to the left, a white-robed flamboyant man suddenly turned his head.
