Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 791: Chapter 574: Big Mouth Li’s Decision, The Final Palace (Double Chapter – Please Vote)

Inside the secret realm, the array seemed to begin dissipating due to the Mountain Spirit’s fall.

The last trace of the concealing spiritual light atop the mountain peak was also gradually fading.

The vast yellow sand, scattered gold-red stones, and a few drought-resistant spirit plants, along with numerous pavilions, best encapsulate this secret realm.

At this moment, having slain the Mountain Spirit, Ye Jingcheng finally felt at ease to regard this secret realm.

However, at that instant, a flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared.

Ye Jingcheng moved his body aside.

He could see that the Shadowless Bowl he had placed was flipped open.

Exposing the entrance of the spirit portal within the secret realm.

It was none other than Lady Chen herself, who had eagerly claimed she would collaborate with Ye Jingcheng.

In her view, at this moment, as Ye Jingcheng was collecting spiritual objects and pursuing Big Mouth Li, it was her best chance to escape.

Just behind the Shadowless Bowl, a burly figure appeared and transformed into a Red Flame Fireman, colliding with Lady Chen.

Lady Chen had been always paying attention to Ye Jingcheng, fearing he and his spirit beast would act; at this moment, she didn’t notice that Ye Jingcheng had left a Celestial Armor Puppet inside the Shadowless Bowl.

Her magical artifacts were shielding her from behind; face startled by the appearance of flames, her reactions were already too late!

Her entire body was sent flying by the fireman, spitting out a large amount of fresh blood.

If she didn’t have a Tier Three magical treasure spirit armor, she might have already fallen.

The Celestial Armor Puppet was refined secretly within the Ye Family using the Five Elements Celestial Armor Puppet refining method left by the True Monarch of Five Elements, which Ye Jingcheng had handed over to the family.

When Ye Shengyi came over, he naturally brought two.

This Celestial Armor Puppet’s singular combat power is naturally inferior to that of a cultivator of the Purple Mansion tier, but at certain moments, it shows remarkable effectiveness.

Such as right now, it was just right!

“Ye Daoist, I was wrong!” Lady Chen was severely injured and threw her magical artifacts to the side.

Yet at this moment, Ye Jingcheng hesitated not a bit, before his eyes, a Soul Capturing Banner rose up, its spiritual light filling Lady Chen’s pupils entirely.

The latter’s two spirit talismans in hand involuntarily fell away, and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon leapt forward intending to shred Lady Chen into pieces.

“Wait!” Ye Jingcheng quickly ordered to stop!

This gave Lady Chen a moment of surviving post-crisis.

But while the Flood Dragon paused, Ye Jingcheng didn’t!

In front of him, a magical treasure flying sword flew out, piercing straight into Lady Chen’s Purple Mansion.

Right at the mark, the Purple Mansion was punctured, causing the True Essence to start flowing away.

Lady Chen screamed in agony, her charming face contorted, and her entire bloodline began to collapse.

As for Lady Chen, Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn’t spare her.

Nonetheless, the reason he had been so unhurried, not killing Lady Chen yet, was out of concern that outside the secret realm, cultivators might be waiting.

If they knew Lady Chen was dead, they might rush in or transmit certain information out.

Thus, this instant, Lady Chen being alive was better than dead.

But given how scheming she was, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t keep her any longer, and decisively crippled her cultivation.

Seeing Lady Chen nearly dead, Ye Jingcheng unleashed a spirit talisman, sustaining her vitality.

Purple Mansion broken, a cultivator is likely doomed.

Yet, as long as Ye Jingcheng’s flying sword remained and combined with the spirit talisman, even with her soul talisman on, not a hint can be discerned.

Having dealt with Lady Chen, Ye Jingcheng turned his gaze back to the peak of the mountain.

Now within the secret realm, one last cultivator remained.

Big Mouth Li!

Though everyone had sworn Heavenly Dao Oaths not to reveal anything from within the secret realm, he believed that all of them disappearing was the best method to keep secrets.

What amused him was that Big Mouth Li still hid within the array on the mountain peak.

Appearing to have seized control over the remnant of the array!

“Li Daoist, if you come out soon, I might just offer you a way out!” Ye Jingcheng spoke out.

Then he brought out the Stone Spirit, released the Peach Wood Demon, which at this moment was still flourishing with peach blossoms.

With the Peach Wood Demon’s appearance, it condensed into a spirit shadow, rooting down into the mountain body, countless roots streamed out, diving into the ground.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng stayed calmly watching the distant mountain peak.

At this moment, Big Mouth Li finally emerged, covering his eyes, holding a storage bag in hand, he defiantly spoke:

“Ye Daoist, I admit everyone underestimated you, and the Ye Family, but today I, Li, only plead for a way out!”

“Within this is the Celestial Mountain Sect’s legacy, a cultivation technique up to Nascent Soul, and the array from the Mountain Spirit Body Refining Stele, essential to the Ye Family!”

“If Daoist denies this way out, I shall destroy the storage bag!”

“The Mountain Spirit might hold the last legacy of the Celestial Mountain Sect, but most treasures were taken by other cultivators or rewarded by him, killing me will yield you nothing!” Big Mouth Li continued every word carefully.

His words constantly reverberated in his ears, preventing Ye Jingcheng from using vocal secret techniques to control him.

He had already witnessed Ye Jingcheng and his Spirit Beast’s various methods, and at this moment, he was extremely ruthless.

But it must be said, he did it in a very competent manner.

Ye Jingcheng actually wanted the Mountain Spirit’s Body Refining Array, which was an excellent treasure for the Ye Family’s Body Cultivation and Spirit Beast training.

“I can take a Heavenly Dao Oath, and pledge loyalty to the Ye Family, as long as Ye Daoist gives me a way out!” Big Mouth Li spoke again.

“But please, Daoist, make the oath, I only have three breaths of time!” He tightened his grip, clearly intending to crush the Storage Bag if Ye Jingcheng did not agree.

This Storage Bag is a Storage Spiritual Artifact, and if truly crushed, the treasures inside would fall into chaotic void currents, which even a Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn’t recover.

“Alright!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, then raised a hand.

But before the oath was made, Ye Jingcheng saw a beam of cyan light shoot out from the Cyan Spirit Mirror, which accurately landed on Big Mouth Li.

Simultaneously, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer took a deep breath, its terrifying suction drawing out the latter’s Blood Qi, making it impossible to crush the Storage Bag even if he realized it.

At the same time, the Ice Phoenix Bead descended and froze him within, followed by the Golden Falcon’s Golden Sword, which thoroughly executed Big Mouth Li.

The Storage Bag also fell to the ground.

Ye Jingcheng let out a sigh of relief, ascended the mountain peak, and picked up the Storage Bag, but with just one glance, his face turned somewhat ashen.

There was no heritage or any Secret Treasures from the Celestial Mountain Sect inside.

It was all Big Mouth Li’s nonsense.

After all, he was at the brink of life and death, how could he care whether he broke his Heavenly Dao Oath or not.

As long as Ye Jingcheng agreed, and Ye Jingcheng couldn’t kill him, Big Mouth Li could roam freely across the world.

Furthermore, he might even expose the Ye Family’s matter.

Luckily, Ye Jingcheng took a gamble.

Bets were made on his own ability and strength.

And on the gamble that the Mountain Spirit would never allow Big Mouth Li to ascend, and Big Mouth Li also couldn’t possibly know where the true heritage was.

After all, Big Mouth Li only ran up the mountain for merely tens of breaths.

In such a short period, to find a treasure or the heritage Storage Bag seemed highly improbable to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng thought about this and reflected again, indeed these Loose Cultivators, no matter how they might seem idle, when it comes to true performance, there isn’t a single mistake.

Ye Jingcheng gathered the Storage Bags of six people and set everything aflame, erasing all traces, ensuring that even future Cultivators entering would not discover today’s scene.

After dealing with these matters, Ye Jingcheng released a swarm of Five Poison Bees, beginning the final treasure hunt.

The Array on the mountain peak was now entirely dimming and flickering under the Peach Wood Demon’s Soul Absorption, losing much of its power.

Moreover, the highest Array atop the mountain peak was originally only Tier Three Top-Grade, far from reaching Tier Four, with its Main Array Foundation being the Mountain Spirit’s essence.

But because the Mountain Spirit’s essence moved and was taken by Ye Jingcheng, the Array’s power greatly diminished, which was why Big Mouth Li was in a hurry to leave.

Nonetheless, Ye Jingcheng cautiously let the Five Poison Bees scout the path.

The safer the situation, the more vigilant one must be.

After all, when vigilant, it’s hard to encounter problems, but ironically, during secure times, it’s easiest to suffer a fatal strike.

The Five Poison Bees crossed each Array remnant, and Ye Jingcheng finally arrived at the first pavilion.

There were two treasures on this pavilion.

One was a Tier Three Golden Sand Crystal, a fine material for refining Gold Attribute Magical Treasures, while the other was Tier Three Spirit Soil.

This made Ye Jingcheng delighted; the treasures inside were indeed quite good.

He stowed away this pavilion, already looking forward to the remaining pavilions.

In the succeeding four pavilions, Ye Jingcheng acquired at least two Tier Three materials from each.

Among them, several were materials for Tier Three Stone Block, although Ye Jingcheng had already collected all materials for Tier Three Stone Block.

The Stone Heart of the Body Refining Stele being the final main material.

However, Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pill were really scarce.

Apparently, either the Mountain Spirit consumed them or they vanished with time.

After all, the Mountain Spirit seemed poorly at preserving these treasures.

But, after crossing four or five pavilions, the pavilions above became empty again.

Although Ye Jingcheng anticipated this, he was still somewhat disappointed.

Nevertheless, when Ye Jingcheng landed on the pavilion at the farthest end, he saw a gigantic palace.

The plaque of this palace had the large words Celestial Mountain Sect engraved on it.

Moreover, in these three words, Ye Jingcheng felt a different kind of Daoist Aura.

Furthermore, a Tier Three Array reappeared here.

This sight again greatly piqued Ye Jingcheng’s interest.

He summoned the Wood Demon.

The Array before his eyes was at least Tier Three High-Grade in intensity, Ye Jingcheng might be able to forcefully break it, but the Wood Demon has Soul Absorption capabilities, making it unnecessary for Ye Jingcheng.

As the Peach Wood Demon extended its roots into the palace, it immediately punched a big hole through the intact Spirit Shield, allowing the entire interior scene to appear before Ye Jingcheng’s eyes!
