Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 580: Chapter 462: News About the Five-Colored Island, Turtle Ancestor’s Hint (Double Chapter)

Purple Wood Island, Purple Wood Hall, bathed in strands of golden light shining from the East Sea.

The deep red Spirit Tiles and gold-inlaid pillars instantly turned a brilliant crimson, complemented by the Spirit Mirror atop the grand hall, making the entire hall splendid and magnificent.

And on the plaza in front of the hall, quite a number of cultivators were practicing their cultivation.

These were all cultivators practicing Purple Qi, and this hall had a special array to draw the first strands of morning Purple Qi to aid their cultivation.

Every morning, hundreds of strands of Purple Qi would be drawn down, creating a spectacular scene.

To practice the Purple Extreme Hongming Technique of the Purple Wood Sect, one must first become a core cultivator of the sect and have enough Contribution Points.

Today, with only a dozen disciples absorbing Purple Qi together, it was already considered an uncommon day in the Purple Wood Sect.

Dong, dong, dong!

At this moment, a series of bell sounds echoed across the entire island.

The cultivators of Purple Wood Sect on the island were instantly both surprised and puzzled, as the bell, which usually tolled once, had sounded thrice today.

And it was still ringing.

In the end, it tolled five times.

This indicated something significant had occurred in the Purple Wood Sect.

Even the array directly enveloped the entire island.

The transparent Spirit Shield blocked the Purple Qi and made everyone’s expressions become serious.

“The matter of Cyan Fish Island has been decided. The thief is indeed someone from Yu Chu Sect. From today on, our Purple Wood Sect formally declares war on Yu Chu Sect!” Ye Jingyu’s voice cascaded over the whole of Purple Wood Island.

The voice echoed on Purple Wood Island three times.

The anger of the Purple Wood Sect was evident.

However, no sect meeting was convened.

But everyone quickly associated it with the last time the sect secretly gathered a group of disciples to go to the Outer Sea.

They were probably already at Jade Wood Bay now.

The Purple Wood Sect was always known for acting first and reporting later.

…

Yet what people did not know was that at this moment beneath Purple Wood Island, in an underground hall, it was equally lively.

Returning from the Outer Sea back to the island of Purple Wood, everyone finally let out a breath of relief.

Just as predicted by Ye Haicheng, the Sea-covering Demon King did indeed chase after them with many Great Demons.

Fortunately, the Ye Family acted swiftly, and the Sea-covering Demon King withdrew after a brief pursuit in the Outer Sea.

After all, the potency of the Demon-enticing Grass needed timely refinement and if the Sea-covering Demon King wanted to produce offspring, it would take diligent effort day and night.

Though the Ye Family escaped quickly, it was tough on the loose cultivators hunting demons in the Outer Sea.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that less than seventy percent of those loose cultivators could escape.

Upon returning, Ye Xuecang along with Ye Shengyi and Ye Haicheng immediately entered the seclusion chamber, falling into healing.

Ye Xuecang had just broken through, yet broke a Lifebound Magical Treasure; to slay such a Great Demon had already brought him to the brink of Scattering Skill. Normally broke-through cultivators, except Body Cultivators, couldn’t fight immediately.

“Jingcheng, Hai He, things should be okay now. The family’s actions in Jade Wood Bay went smoothly; we discovered Spring Jade, Cold Jade Silkworm, and also heard an interesting piece of news.” Xue Fan walked into the plaza. He, too severely injured, was mostly suffering from array backlash and forcibly activating arrays, so it was well-restrained.

Upon hearing the initial news, the two were unsurprised; the family always concealed their actions with both overt and covert tactics.

Yet the news Xue Fan mentioned was intriguing.

“The Guo Family of Yu Chu Sect is searching for a Five-Colored Island.” Xue Fan did not hide anything and spoke directly.

This word prompted Ye Jingcheng to instantly recall the last trade fair where the Spirit Palace Spirit Diagram was traded away.

It seemed last time, indeed, someone was secretly setting a stage.

No wonder even when he offered a higher price, the other side was unmoved.

“But more investigation is still ongoing,” Xue Fan added again.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng sighed; naturally, he was quite interested in the inheritance of the True Monarch of Five Elements.

Yu Chu Sect is manageable; he can deal with them himself, but the Yun Family of the Celestial Essence Islands is rather challenging.

“Fourth Uncle Ancestor, if there is nothing else, I’ll head back. My Spirit Beast is injured.” Seeing no more matters, Ye Jingcheng was rather anxious, as his Golden Falcon and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon were severely wounded. He needed to enter the Grotto Heaven as soon as possible.

And following behind him was the Turtle Ancestor.

Of course, it wasn’t Ye Jingcheng who requested it; after the Turtle Ancestor took a Healing Elixir, it hadn’t left.

Ye Haicheng went to heal himself, and it autonomously stayed behind Ye Jingcheng.

Its intention was clear: concerned about Ye Jingcheng getting hurt, it wanted to protect Ye Jingcheng.

“Nothing more. You all have worked hard this time, especially Jingcheng, Hai He. By the way, report the Great Demons and Tier Two Demon Beasts you slew; the family will allocate Contribution Points to you based on that.” Xue Fan shook his head, but soon added.

These words finished, he also glanced at other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“You all as well, report all the Demon Beasts you slew. This time all the spoils belong to you, and the Contribution Points are distributed by Second Brother.” Xue Fan also looked towards other Foundation Establishments.

Ye Jingcheng upon seeing this, began to take out a Jade Talisman to record.

Though he had acquired a large number of Moon Spirit Pearls recently, earning quite a sum of Spirit Stones, his current Spirit Stone consumption was also high, and any extra Contribution Points would naturally not be refused.

This record was quite simple; slaying Demon Beasts, especially Great Demons, would inevitably leave behind Spirit Beast Materials; even if they couldn’t pick up the Great Demon Beast in time, they could report it specially, only at that time they would receive a Spirit Inquiry Talisman.
