Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 784: Chapter 570: Celestial Mountain Sect Inheritance

The last cultivator to arrive was an extremely fat cultivator, with his face covered in flab, squeezing his eyes into slits.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but take a closer look at this cultivator.

Being this fat upon reaching the Purple Mansion stage was extremely rare.

“Haha, everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. Mainly, there’s someone who doesn’t know their own limits and tried to track me!” The fat cultivator said with a laugh.

“A cultivator dares to track you, Big Mouth Li? How peculiar!” The Jun Sect Cultivator snorted coldly, seemingly discontent with the fat cultivator’s tardiness.

“Alright, Jun Daoist, since everyone is here now, can you tell us more about this secret realm?” It was the female cultivator who spoke this time.

Seeing her speak, the Jun Sect Cultivator seemed at ease and smiled once more.

“Since Lady Chen put it that way, let’s cut to the chase!” The Jun Sect Cultivator took out a dozen array banners and threw them around, forming a massive Spirit Separation Array.

“Everyone, before we proceed, I’d need you all to make a Heavenly Dao Oath, as I have a choice to offer later!”

The Jun Sect Cultivator then recited the words of the Heavenly Dao Oath.

Big Mouth Li was the first to open his mouth and make the Heavenly Dao Oath.

Ye Jingcheng thought for a moment, and seeing no loopholes, nodded and likewise made the Heavenly Dao Oath.

The main point of this Heavenly Dao Oath was to restrict those not going from leaking secrets for life.

But for those who decide to go, there were no restrictions, which made Ye Jingcheng intrigued.

He scanned the other few people again, finally fixing his gaze on the elder in a white robe.

Among the seven people, Ye Jingcheng felt that at least two were working with the Jun Sect Cultivator.

Even though Big Mouth Li acted well, in Ye Jingcheng’s opinion, he was definitely the Jun Sect Cultivator’s first ally.

Arriving last and being late was probably to check for tails in the direction the people came from.

The last one, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, was more likely the elder in the white robe.

Because this elder was always vigilant about the surroundings and didn’t care about Big Mouth Li’s movements, instead he kept his eyes on Ye Jingcheng and the two clan cultivators.

And the female cultivator could be more intriguing!

“Thank you all for understanding, now I will reveal all that I know. First, let me state that this secret realm is not within the Yan Kingdom’s domain!”

“Have any of you heard of the ancient great sect, Celestial Mountain Sect?” The Jun Sect Cultivator asked.

With that said, let alone the other five people, even Ye Jingcheng was unaware.

When was there such a great sect as Celestial Mountain Sect?

In the Cultivation Realm, ancient texts are still relatively complete; for recent events spanning two to three thousand years, as long as you search, you can find information.

Ye Jingcheng prided himself on understanding the major events in the Cultivation Realm. After all, he once studied the Eight Desolates Sect.

Yet, he truly hadn’t heard of Celestial Mountain Sect.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, the Jun Sect Cultivator smiled again and said:

“It’s no wonder you haven’t heard of it. The Cultivation Realm is vast, and a sect worthy of being called an ancient sect needs at least 5,000 years of history. Based on my knowledge, apart from the Immortal Sect of Qin Kingdom, none of the sects of these eight nations has maintained a 5,000-year history!”

“Of course, the reason why I’m certain it’s a sect is beyond just mentioning the mountain spirit and arrays, but also this!”

After speaking, the Jun Sect Cultivator waved his hand and produced several treasures.

He placed them on the Spirit Cloth.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the many rare spirit medicines, rare mineral materials, and treasures on the cloth, recalling the two Stone Square Main Materials the Jun Sect Cultivator had taken out earlier.

He couldn’t help but find some credibility in the mention of the ancient sect.

Ancient sects like to set assessments to pass down their legacies, which contain secret treasures, arrays, and rewards for cultivators who pass.

“The reason I summoned you six is that my research found this array requires six people working together to break!” The Jun Sect Cultivator said.

“And the reason I called seven is just in case, for the possibility of someone not going!”

“Jun Daoist, you haven’t explained the dangers of this journey yet?” Ye Jingcheng asked directly.

This question clearly interrupted the prepared words Jun Sect Cultivator had.

“The danger is the mountain spirit, which is the sect’s guardian spirit. You, Ye Daoist, as part of the Beast Taming Sect, might even have a way to subdue this mountain spirit!” The Jun Sect Cultivator also spoke.

“What’s the strength of this mountain spirit?” This time, another Purple Mansion Cultivator asked.

Regarding mountain spirits, cultivators knew very little.

What were its means, and how strong was it – these were unknown to them.

For cultivators, it was crucial to be cautious of potential threats.

If one is easily blinded by immediate interests, the potential for mishaps is significant.

“Qiu Daoist, don’t worry, I will naturally explain this clearly!”

“This mountain spirit arose from a magical stone developing spiritual wisdom, similar to how Spirit Wood turns into a Wood Demon. Its strength ranges between mid-stage to late-stage Third Tier. As for the specific strength, I’ll let you see a piece of Jade Talisman Spirit Shadow!” The Jun Sect Cultivator took out a Jade Talisman and a mirror.

As the mirror shone on the Jade Talisman, large patches of spiritual light appeared.

Then the spiritual light transformed into a sandy field, where the Jun Sect Cultivator stood on the sand, in front of him a figure formed from yellow sand continuously rushed at him.

It bombarded the Jun Sect Cultivator back repeatedly and even shattered his Spirit Armor.

The scene was brief, but clearly showed the mountain spirit’s power, explaining why the Jun Sect Cultivator collected defense treasures.

This mountain spirit’s speed was extremely fast, seemingly able to appear anywhere on the sandy field, exceedingly enigmatic.

Along with its terrifying strength, without a Defense Treasure, passing even a few moves may be difficult.

“The closer the mountain spirit gets to its origin, the stronger it becomes. Once you beat it, there’ll be a window of Void Shadow. In the vicinity, there are ancient pavilions containing treasures. Some have spirit basins with spirit medicines, others have mineral materials, and there are spirit talismans and spirit pills, but many dissipate easily due to age!” The Jun Sect Cultivator supplemented.

With these words, everyone understood the situation.

There was an immediate silence as no one opted out.

If there were treasures to gain, segmented by strength and stage, this clearly was an inheritance assessment.

Ye Jingcheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Of course, he knew the Jun Sect Cultivator lied, as he was certainly not in the early stage but in the late stage of the Purple Mansion.

However, regardless of the lies, Ye Jingcheng would go.

Since the others were after treasures, Ye Jingcheng aimed for the mountain spirit.

“Alright, I will go too!” Lady Chen spoke last.

Seeing everyone agree, the Jun Sect Cultivator was all smiles.

“With the aid of six people, the harvest this time will surely be abundant. Years from now, recalling today, might even become True Monarchs, reminiscing on what a grand event it was!”

“We might even establish a sect at that time!” The Jun Sect Cultivator couldn’t help but say a few more words, filled with enthusiasm!
