Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 303: Chapter 294: Entering the Mountains (Double-Length)

This type of Spiritual Ship with Spirit Veins, he was hearing about for the first time.

“Many Secret Realms controlled by the Major Sects are explored using this kind of Treasure Ship,” Chu Yanqing, who clearly knew much more, continued to explain to Ye Jingcheng.

Upon learning that this Treasure Ship was classified at the Treasure Level, Ye Jingcheng felt even more extravagant.

The subsequent speed of the Treasure Ship also exceeded Ye Jingcheng’s expectations.

“Based on this estimation, it will take at most three days to reach the Taihang Mountain Range.” Ye Jingcheng quickly estimated the time, originally thinking his Profound Shadow Cyan Cloud Ship was already extremely fast.

But now in comparison, it was like heaven and earth apart.

Additionally, the Treasure Ship was filled with various Cultivation Rooms.

After chatting with the rest of the Ye Family for a bit, Ye Jingcheng entered a Cultivation Room, and the Jade Talisman in his hand fell into his forehead.

Inside it described the appearances and information of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Among them were ten Sect Cultivators, such as Yun Jianzi of Taiyi Sword Edge and Little Taia. These two not only learned the Sword Light of the Taiyi Sect, but also possessed Sword Embryos. It’s said that once the Sword Embryo is released, it can take the head of an opposing cultivator from one hundred miles away.

There were also young Artifact Refining Masters Wang Tianfa and Xiao Qianhe of Taiyi Dharma Peak, young Array Masters Liu Huan and Liu Yunzhi of Taiyi Illusion Peak, the Foundation Establishment Senior Brother Chen Yunzi of Taiyi Purple Peak, and others.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at them and saw that they were almost all renowned Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Faced with these Sect Cultivators, Ye Jingcheng only had one principle: avoid them when possible, and if unavoidable, try to minimize conflicts.

Apart from Sect Cultivators, the Jade Talisman also had information on powerful Foundation Establishment figures from the four great Golden Core clans.

However, when Ye Jingcheng looked towards the Xu Family, there was no record of an Ice Spirit Root cultivator.

Ye Jingcheng read very carefully, not willing to let his guard down with any of these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, missing just one might mean the opponent is preparing a deadly move.

Even when he was a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, hidden talents were everywhere. Ye Jingcheng believed Foundation Establishment Cultivators would certainly be more dangerous, as many likely carried Talisman Treasures.

Ye Jingcheng stared at the Jade Talisman for quite a while before setting it down to start his cultivation.

What surprised Ye Jingcheng was that his Divine Soul inside suddenly began to stir.

And within the Beast Communication Pattern, Wood Phase Spiritual Power surged forth continuously.

The Spiritual Power was extremely pure and abundant.

It seemed the Three-Colored Cloud Deer was breaking through.

Ye Jingcheng was immediately both delighted and worried.

Delighted that the Three-Colored Cloud Deer was finally breaking through, worried because it was currently in the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven, where he couldn’t enter at the moment, nor should he.

Ye Jingcheng could only wait for the exploration to end and enter the Secret Realm, ensuring no Purple Mansion Cultivators were observing secretly before proceeding.

The breakthrough of the Three-Colored Cloud Deer also signified a further advancement in Ye Jingcheng’s strength.

The only pity was that due to the Secret Realm’s proximity in time, Ye Jingcheng hadn’t utilized the Celestial Soul Technique to perform a Soul Split.

After all, following a Soul Split, there would be a period of weakness, which would be manageable without Magical Combat, but utterly unacceptable with it.

He also took out a Spirit Pill and began cultivating slowly.

Although it wouldn’t lead to significant short-term progress, steady efforts could only be beneficial.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Ye Jingcheng just felt the outside sky change, from a blazing sun to a serene bright moon.

Numerous stars also began to appear in the sky. At this moment, he suddenly realized they had entered the Taihang Commandery.

The distance which would take Foundation Establishment Cultivators over half a month to cover was seemingly reached by the Treasure Ship in just over a day.

Ye Jingcheng did not continue cultivating; instead, he descended onto the deck, where Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyong, and Ye Jingyu were present.

Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong were chatting non-stop, while Ye Jingcheng worried about what Ye Jingyu might hear.

After all, this wasn’t the real Ye Jingyu. If the Beast Communication Pattern were to be leaked, it would lead to dire consequences.

Otherwise, he would have continued cultivating in the room.

However, Ye Jingli was evidently more mature than before, and his conversation with Ye Jingyong was mostly about mundane matters, specifically regarding Ye Jingyong’s son.

Ye Jingyong’s son was born last year, and his name was currently Ye Wen. If he possessed a Spirit Root, his name would follow the family’s generational sequence and become Ye Qingwen.

Both Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingli were at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, just one step away from Foundation Establishment, so both, even though one already had a son and the other was an Artifact Refiner, were planning to take the plunge and buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for preparation.

After all, this expedition to the Taihang Mountain Range was no trivial undertaking.

This territorial exploration was that of the Three-eyed Roc, which also meant the territory of the Three-eyed Demon King.

Ye Jingcheng thought that if half of those on the Spiritual Ship could leave safely, it would mean the exploration had been relatively successful.

After all, if even the Sect Cultivators could not secretly observe the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s breakthrough with their Divine Soul Fluctuation, Ye Jingcheng would be quite anxious about facing them.

“What’s the deal with you and Chu Yanqing?” Ye Jingli asked, turning to Ye Jingcheng in the midst of the conversation.

Ye Jingli said he was interested in Artifact Refining and was just curious about family anecdotes.

“Brother Liu, it’s merely a normal inter-family relationship, don’t let your imagination run wild. I am currently more focused on my pursuit of the Great Dao,” Ye Jingcheng quickly explained.

Then Ye Jingyong added, “Jingcheng, Chu Yanqing might be a core figure within the Chu Family.”

Ye Jingyong’s wife was Chu Yanliu.

She was also a member of the Chu Family. Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng remembered he wasn’t surprised, considering Chu Yanqing could enter seclusion whenever she wanted, and she frequently collaborated with Chu Xiyu at the Taichang Market.

Perhaps she was even a dual spirit root genius.

To the Ye Family and Ye Jingcheng, such news did not bode well for any hopeful speculation regarding their paths of the Great Dao or any familial ties.

After some light conversation, a fish-like glint of white began to appear on the horizon.

The tremendous speed felt as if a golden sun was rising steadily towards them.

The spectacle and grandeur were beyond words to describe.

All they knew was that the golden sun rose from the edge of the mountain range, shooting ever closer to them.

Shortly after, the Treasure Ship began to descend and landed towards a valley.

This valley was not unfamiliar to them; it was the same one explored previously, the Jade Dragon Valley.

Sparkling, lively waters could be seen in Jade Dragon Lake, and soon, a group of Purple Mansion Cultivators ascended to greet them.

Among the Purple Mansion were Ye Haicheng from the Ye Family and Xu Chunlin from the Xu Family.

Although Ye Jingcheng had yet to see a Golden Core True Master, he assumed they were probably on the Spiritual Ship.

This was also why, even if there were Arrays, he dared not directly extract the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s breakthrough condition from the Spiritual Ship.

For now, he could only continue to perceive through the Soul Contract. It made Ye Jingcheng feel a bit anxious.

“Everybody take a day of rest. We’ll start exploring tomorrow!” announced Ming Yuan Ascendant.

With that, Ming Yuan Ascendant and the other Purple Mansion Cultivators began to ascend and fly to greet them.

Among these Purple Mansion Cultivators were the Ye Family’s Ye Haicheng and Xu Family’s Xu Chunlin.

Seeing Ye Haicheng, Ye Jingcheng felt more at ease, as it seemed Ye Xingliu was also signaling to Ye Haicheng, which reassured Ye Jingcheng even more.

Once they reached the encampment, Ye Jingcheng also took out his Clan Token and began to communicate with Ye Xingliu.

Ye Jingcheng did not continue to hide the Bone Storage Ring. He wanted to ask the latter whether he needed some things in advance, but obviously, Ye Xingliu told him that there was no need, and Ye Jingcheng should continue using the Bone Storage Ring.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded, and his worries subsided.

Then, after waiting for half a day, he suddenly found that his Soul Contract with the Three-Colored Cloud Deer was finally stabilizing, indicating that the Three-Colored Cloud Deer had successfully broken through. However, Ye Jingcheng still could not bring it out.

He had to continue waiting.
