Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 543: Chapter 442: Dawang Village Infiltration, Purple Wood Sect Penetration? (Two-in-One)

Underneath Purple Wood Island, before reaching the end of the small path, the roaring sound of waves suddenly whistles past the ears.

The surge and tumult can be sensed from afar, even before witnessing it with the naked eye; this feeling is born from the sound.

He refrained from using his Divine Sense, for this is his first time hearing the sea.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but scorn the Jade Wave Wine.

That wine could never describe the true sea, which is why it’s no surprise that aside from the Ye Family’s excitement, other great families are indifferent to the Mo Family promoting the Jade Wave Wine.

Because Jade Wave Wine is just glorified liquor.

Ye Jingcheng quickly reached the end of the path, where a transparent barrier separated the sea from him.

The clear azure sea water seemed even clearer compared to Lingyun Lake.

Yet, the tumultuous conditions here were far beyond what Lingyun Lake could match, with the undercurrents resembling giant serpents relentlessly surging in every direction.

The forceful flow couldn’t be compared to ordinary rivers and lakes.

Ye Jingcheng hadn’t gone to Yanhui Commandery to see Cyan River; it’s said to be several hundred zhang wide, boundless, yet surely not like what lies before him now.

Ye Jingcheng rushed out of the barrier, feeling the overwhelming ocean pressure, akin to being pressed by the Spiritual Pressure of a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

This feeling was extremely peculiar, and he had to note, the sea domain he resided in should not be the deepest yet.

In the deepest spots, the pressure would likely be greater.

Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt that the Body Cultivators of the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain must be rather extraordinary.

After all, the sea itself is the best place for body forging.

Of course, after briefly adjusting, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Spirit Diagram in his memory.

He didn’t immerse himself in the sea domain for too long; after being the Patriarch for so many years, his disposition rarely stirred.

To experience this today, it had been a long-awaited anticipation, and indeed, the present surroundings were quite different.

The Water Escape Skill in the sea domain was not strenuous for Ye Jingcheng, though it started around the Ye Family’s Purple Wood Island.

Ye Jingcheng needed to act cautiously, but once he passed the main island and reached nearby common islands or sub-islands, he could be less wary.

After flying for half a day, he arrived at an ordinary island, which had an Inner Lake, nurturing some Cyan Fish, considered this island’s specialty, thus making it quite famous.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t linger long before the island; facing the vast sea domain and azure sky, he had grown somewhat numb.

From the side, he leapt out of the sea; his figure transformed once again, this time into a burly man with dark skin, and his Spiritual Power was completely inwardly restrained.

His skin appeared particularly dark, and upon reaching the shore, he headed towards a small fishing village.

In the sky, cultivators could occasionally be seen flying back and forth.

Here differs from the Eastern Domain, where fewer Flying Sword cultivators are found; most utilize Flying Shuttle and elongated Wind-breaking Spiritual Ships, able to float on water.

Convenient for cultivators running out of Spiritual Energy, still able to proceed across the sea surface.

And their defense is notably good.

As Ye Jingcheng moved with a steady pace, another dock appeared in the distance.

At the dock, shadows scattered, innumerable cultivators mingling with mortals, currently transporting large boxes.

The Cyan Fish on Cyan Fish Island are massive, tens of times larger than Red Section Fish, belonging to Tier One Lower Grade Cyan Fish. These fish are fresh without being fishy, highly popular in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, and with affordable prices, are transported by ship rather than Spirit Beast Bracelets.

The mortals here aren’t like those in Yan Kingdom, essentially unseen by Immortals.

Those with great strength and some martial skills often accompany cultivators to the sea to hunt Demon Beasts.

Those less strong carry out various chores on the island, transporting processed Cyan Fish or Cyan Fish materials.

Dawang Village is just such a village, the elderly accompany cultivators hunting while the young carry Spirit Fish, only those with some talent feed Cyan Fish in Cyan Lake.

Ye Jingcheng observed briefly before arriving at Dawang Village, which was not thriving; the entire village had just over a hundred people, appearing even more sparse during the day.

The lush coconut tree shadows and scattered farmland made Dawang Village seem rather modestly ordinary.

Such existences were not uncommon on the entire Cyan Fish Island, even less so across the Celestial Cloud Islands.

“Is anybody here?” Ye Jingcheng reached the village entrance.

His current identity was merely a Martial Artist who had luckily survived a demon hunt at sea; he intended to temporarily reside in Dawang Village for half a month and work at the dock carrying fish as his cover.

Understanding the habits of fishermen, thus better adapting to Tang Cheng’s identity.

And remaining unrecognized as a cultivator in the fishing village, thus became his first challenge.

“Who are you looking for?” set against the backdrop of stilted buildings, the village chief, Zhong Fuyun, emerged upon hearing someone call.

Zhong Fuyun, like all sea domain cultivators, was rather dark-skinned.

“Village Chief, my name is Hei City, a mortal servant of Immortal Master Li…” Ye Jingcheng recited the introduction prepared in advance.

“Alright, join our village!” Zhong Fuyun didn’t have much to consider, the mortality rate of mortals in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain was exceedingly high, honestly speaking, he wasn’t sure how many people remained in Dawang Village; the top directive from the Purple Wood Sect to each village chief was to ensure the village’s population.

After finding a place for Ye Jingcheng, that night, Ye Jingcheng went to the dock.

Some Qi Cultivation Cultivators served as supervisors, directing a multitude of mortals in hoisting massive boxes filled with water and Cyan Fish onto the ships.

These mortals occasionally erupted with crude words or spoke unique Eastern Sea dialects.

Ye Jingcheng memorized them all.

He didn’t become complacent for being a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

Even though the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain hadn’t seen Taiyi Sect infiltrations, the Ye Family had discovered Qinghe Sect’s presence, explaining why Ye Family treated all cultivators coming to Cyan Cloud Sea Domain cautiously.

From starting as mortals, moving through markets, finally recruiting disciples, bringing Ye Jingcheng into the sect, eventually entrusting him with responsibilities.

Thus, despite the rapid rise of Purple Wood Sect, no cultivators suspected Ye Family.

For Ye Family, Purple Wood Sect and Purple Wood Island were facades and locations for installing Teleportation Arrays, the true Ye Family influence had long transformed to Hidden Island heading toward the Outer Sea.

The Cyan Cloud Sea Domain comprised six major islands.

They are Celestial Cloud, Luoyun, Chi Yun, Jade Cloud, Zi Yun, and Qiuyun six major archipelagos.

Among them, Celestial Cloud Archipelago, Luoyun Archipelago, and Chi Yun Archipelago are close to the Outer Sea and are the easiest islands to be washed by the Beast Tide.

The Ye Family’s Purple Wood Sect is located within the sea domain of Celestial Cloud Archipelago.

Zi Yun Archipelago is close to the Celestial Horse Sea Domain, which is considered an inland sea domain, and here lies a colossal entity, East Heaven Sect, which is a Nascent Soul Sect.

Whenever there is a once-in-a-century great Beast Tide, cultivators from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain would retreat to the Celestial Horse Sea Domain, and if it’s more severe, they might even retreat to the cultivation realms of the Qi Kingdom and Lu Kingdom.

There are more Nascent Soul Sects there.

Of course, the most chaotic place is still the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, where sometimes the Purple Mansion influences don’t act like Purple Mansion influences, and the Foundation Establishment powers often don’t act like Foundation Establishment powers.

Sometimes even those Loose Cultivators have quite a background.

The entire Cyan Cloud Alliance only gathers during the resistance against the Beast Tide or when holding large auction trade fairs.

Of course, Teleportation Arrays in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain are not common items, they are extremely rare.

Though Ye Jingcheng knows clearly that other factions would certainly have Teleportation Arrays.

Because Nascent Soul Cultivators can refine Teleportation Jades, possessing a void coordinate.

“You people take care, these days are the Dragon Gate days for the Immortal Fish. If you neglect these Immortal Fish, don’t even mention being redeemed to bring you back to the Celestial Horse Sea Domain; killing you on the spot won’t even be regrettable!” A Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivator spoke viciously to everyone.

This cultivator was wearing the Purple Wood Sect’s sect robe, looking particularly spirited.

As for the quality of the Purple Wood Sect’s sect disciples, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t concerned; after all, the Purple Wood Sect is too casual in recruiting disciples.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to assign identities to the cultivators of the Ye family.

Therefore, all kinds of strange characters are present.

And the surrounding influences might also consider the Purple Wood Sect as merely a sect founded by a few cultivators with high cultivation, arrogant and presumptuous.

Thinking that the Purple Wood Sect is on the verge of collapse.

But actually, Ye Jingcheng knows that besides not considering identity, the Purple Wood Sect is very particular about a cultivator’s insight; troublesome cultivators are either eliminated or placed in such places as Outer Disciples.

This differentiated treatment is something the Ye family has long mastered.

Ye Jingcheng is a Purple Mansion Cultivator, naturally appearing somewhat relaxed while moving a box with four people, yet without using Spiritual Energy, Ye Jingcheng still sweats.

“Kid, your horse stance is unsteady, and your words are mumbling. Did you come from inland?” Among the four people carrying the box with Ye Jingcheng, one person particularly enjoyed talking.

Initially, he caught hold of the other two, but once Ye Jingcheng arrived, he pursued him with questions.

Making Ye Jingcheng feel somewhat self-deprecating.

Because he considered his performance good enough, yet now being easily recognized, even mocked by a mortal.

Fortunately, he’s not really in his twenties, avoiding embarrassment.

Just continuing to keep quiet without replying much.

Ye Jingcheng scrutinized this man multiple times, ultimately having to admit that he truly is a mortal.

However, among the other two in the four, were full of trickery, surprisingly being two quite strong Body Cultivators, based on Ye Jingcheng’s estimation, possibly possessing Foundation Establishment strength at least.

This did surprise Ye Jingcheng because he thought it was already quite extraordinary for him to come and carry fish, yet there were two more at Foundation Establishment.

Of course, not using Divine Sense, Ye Jingcheng was not overly clear about specifics.

But Ye Jingcheng recalled the Dragon Gate Festival.

The Dragon Gate Festival was considered a lively day in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, on this day, many cultivators would consume Cyan Fish.

As if they could receive the Dragon Gate Qi of the Cyan Fish and greatly advance their cultivation generally.

Yet naturally, in Ye Jingcheng’s heart, it was elusive.

After all, in his opinion, the legend of the Dragon Gate relates to carp, not Cyan Fish.

Moreover, Cyan Fish is merely a relatively mild Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Fish; how could it be so magical?

…

On the tenth day of Ye Jingcheng’s arrival at the dock, tonight’s night sky was exceptionally clear, with many stars.

Unknown whether it’s related to the sea domain, but the starry sky here is even brighter than that of the Yan Kingdom.

In the evening, even without the Moonlight Stone, it was possible to see clearly.

Today, the work period at the dock was extended, even during the early stage.

Ye Jingcheng was also counted among them.

Noticing the increasingly bright eyes of the other two, he knew clearly in his heart that some changes might happen today.

He couldn’t help but sigh, a sect is ultimately a sect, particularly a mixed type like this.

If nothing goes wrong, there might be either internal collaboration or robbery by Tribulation Cultivators.

But Ye Jingcheng did not plan to make a move.

The entire Purple Wood Sect can potentially use this opportunity to undergo a reorganization.

Just right for Ye Xuecang’s breakthrough to the Golden Core, shedding some limelight.

Sure enough, in the latter half of the night, the last batch of Spirit Fish was delivered.

However, usually they were huge big fish, but today, there was also a small box, seemingly containing small fish.

As a carrier of the boxes, Ye Jingcheng did not receive a box of small fish nor see the fish inside.

Yet at the next moment, Ye Jingcheng was stunned.

He noticed that his Treasure Book unexpectedly lit up, with a full five-layered spiritual light.

This indicates that a Spirit Beast capable of advancing five times passed before him.

How could Ye Jingcheng not be surprised by this revelation?

Has the Purple Wood Sect been infiltrated so severely?
