The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 575 - 251: Abyssal Lord_1

The sea of corpses gradually vanished into the darkness.

Ye Qi waves his hand lightly, and the three of them flew backward, arriving at another area in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highnesses, please this way."

In front of the black gold gate stood two rows of attendants.

Leading them was a man dressed in a well-tailored suit, with a snow-white collar, and a pitch-black tie.

His eyes were as warm as the afternoon sun and glossed over the three of them, a smile creeping on his face.

"Grandpa Huan."

Ye Hanjun greeted softly.

Ye Donghai and Ye Youxing , pausing slightly, hastily paid their respects.

"I am aware of your objectives."

"Based on the potential ranking within the clan and your trial results, you will receive your ’starting resources’."

The starting resources here refer to the resource support given after adulthood.

During their youth, the Yushi Clan have no worries about food and drinks, no worries about having fun. They enjoy luxury, but they also bear with all kinds of extraordinary basic trainings and knowledge supplies, as abundant as they can be.

But... before they awaken their power, they are still mortals.

Only by awakening the power, passing the trials, and becoming a real member of the Yushi Clan, can they be eligible to enjoy the Imperial Spirit Resources that others can only dream of.

"Please."

Elegant and meticulously dressed Ye Huan beckons them with a smile, inviting the three people into the palace.

There was no gold and silver jewelry, nor any rare metal objects inside, just an extremely large sandbox.

Ye Hanjun looked carefully and most of the areas in the sandbox were covered with black fog.

Only a few areas were exposed with colorful flags standing on them.

On the black flags, the character "Ye" shone brightly.

On the red flags, the word "Witch" is mostly written.

On the white flags, the word "Ji" is mostly written.

Other colors either have no words or multiple words, which made you feel dizzy and gave your head a faint ache at first glance.

"This is part of the map of the Ghost Lamp Abyss. The three princes can engrave your names in the regions marked by black flags."

Ye Huan pointed to the sand table and said, "Princes East Sea, Youxing, you can choose territories marked with three or four-edged stars as your own."

"Lord Han, who has the status of the ’Young King of Ye Clan’, can choose any region except the most unique seven-edged star."

"I want this one!"

Ye Youxing raised his hand and pointed to an open space in the center:

"I’ve had my eye on this ’Meteor Demon Soil’ for a while!"

"It’s said that every day in this area, meteors streak across the sky. The view is amazing... Grandpa Huan, hurry up and help me put my name on it!"

"Your Highness has a good eye."

Ye Huan laughed, took out a special brush, and swiped it twice.

In an instant, the region of the four-edged star also had a character "Ye".

"Lord Han, you pick first. I’m fine with any area."

Ye Donghai cupped his hand and stepped aside.

Ye Hanjun examined the huge sandbox, constantly scrutinizing the miniature landmarks and names, and he asked in a low voice:

"Grandpa Huan, can you tell me where Liuying is?"

"According to the rules, clan members should not reveal information about their chosen territories."

Ye Huan smiled kindly, his eyes revealing a hint of amusement:

"But she shares a unique bond with you."

"Making an exception this time wouldn’t hurt."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huan." Ye Hanjun bowed again.

"She chose ’Shattered Rock Prison’."

The six words floated into his ears, but Ye Huan’s lips did not move.

Ye Hanjun understood instantly. This was a way of telepathically passing messages, unheard by Ye Donghai and Ye Youxing.

"Swish!"

His gaze instantly locked onto Shattered Rock Prison.

This was a territory marked with a four-edged star, the name did not give much information, and actual investigation was necessary for confirmation.

"Hm?"

Ye Hanjun knitted his brows quickly.

Four territories surrounded Shattered Rock Prison, but all of them were occupied.

In more distant places, there were five pieces of land, but all of them had their own masters.

This was the situation he wanted to avoid the most.

If territories could adjoin each other, the two territories would form one entity, allowing for mutual care and smooth communication in daily life.

Once separated, it would inevitably lead to a lot of nuisance.

After deliberating, Ye Hanjun’s gaze locked onto a six-edged star:

"Grandpa Huan, I’ll take ’Ghost Killing River Region’."

"Oh?"

Ye Huan raised his eyebrows, expressing surprise:

"A territory marked with a six-edged star is definitely abundant in resources."

"But the edges of this flag are decorated with a circle of blood red, you should understand what that means, right?"

"Grandpa Huan, since it’s a territory open to newly promoted clan members, no matter how dangerous, there should be a limit," answered Ye Hanjun.

"That’s quite right."

Ye Huan shook his head and said:

"But I still suggest that you seriously reconsider."

"This territory was selected by two clan members over the past three hundred years."

"Yet, they died within a year or two after settling in."

"It has been specially investigated. The area on the ground in this region is not particularly rich in living beings."

"The danger mainly comes from the depths of the Ghost-Killing River Region. There lurk groups of demon creatures who often stir up terrifying waves, rushing to the surface to devour living beings."

As he said this, Ye Huan did not use the method of telepathic communication.

Ye Donghai asked strangely:

"Grandpa Huan, won’t we be equipped with guards?"

"Can’t the level of guards handle the crises inside our territories?"

"Your territories are certainly secure."

Ye Huan laughed: "But the danger level of the Ghost Killing River Region is indeed a bit high."

"In my view, the guards may not be able to perfectly cope with the dangers in the depths of the river."
