Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 873: Chapter 613: Desolate Step, the Ye Family Strikes Back

The spring sunshine is extremely bright and shining on people, making them feel warm.

Ye Jingcheng woke up from cultivation, squinting slightly as he gazed at the warm sun, then began to observe the Grotto Heaven.

A half month had passed since his breakthrough, during which Ye Jingcheng consolidated his cultivation, for his breakthrough was partly due to dual cultivation with Chu Yanqing, as well as consuming a considerable amount of Spirit Pills.

Compared to previous breakthroughs, his cultivation this time was naturally rather unstable.

Thankfully, he also cultivated the second layer of the Profound Desolate Dominator Body Secret Manual, strengthening his physical body and enhancing his True Essence.

Otherwise, consolidating his cultivation might have taken even longer.

Ye Jingcheng stood up, and as he exerted force, he felt an overwhelming explosive power within his body.

This surge of strength even led him to consider a hand-to-hand combat with the Golden Scale Beast.

However, this idea disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

He was only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion body cultivation; without using the skills of a Qi Refiner, it was almost like seeking abuse.

Moreover, if the Golden Scale Beast did manage to abuse him, it wouldn’t care whether he was the master or not, and might even grin and snicker at him.

Ye Jingcheng casually executed a fist move, loosening his muscles, and then practiced the Desolate Step.

The Desolate Step is not just a body technique secret but also a leg technique.

When cultivated to great success, stepping out with one stride could crush mountains, flatten ravines, and possess terrifying power!

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was more interested in the body technique aspect of the Desolate Step.

Even though he forged his body, he didn’t prefer close combat.

For a Beast Master, engaging in close magical combat is undoubtedly attacking others with one’s weaknesses.

The Desolate Step can only be cultivated with the desolate body at the second layer of the Profound Desolate Dominator Body Secret Manual; if the physical body isn’t strong enough and one forcibly cultivates it, it might even lead to the body exploding.

Ye Jingcheng practiced for quite some time but felt somewhat confused, experiencing pain all over, especially in his legs, which felt as heavy as lead, forcing him to stop.

He rested in the pavilion of the Golden Light Bamboo Forest, sipping Spirit Tea and eating Spirit Fish Cuisine, with his eyes half-closed.

As the sun shone on Ye Jingcheng, it also fell on the Spirit Lake, its shimmering surface quietly basking in the gentle breeze.

Compared to four years ago, the Grotto Heaven had undergone significant changes.

The three Spirit Lakes were completely on track, with one dedicated to raising Black Mushroom Fish and Moon Spirit Pearl, the Cyan Jade Lotus growing thickly, Ye Jingcheng even envisioned scenes of blooming lotuses.

Another was for raising Roc Fish and Star-Feeding Fish, and the last for nurturing Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Section Fish.

Now, unlike before, the Roc Fish and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon had much freedom within the lakes, making the waters turbulent with every movement.

Now both could leisurely swim in the lake.

The Roc Fish would occasionally leap from the Spirit Lake, transforming into roc wings and soaring joyfully.

Beyond the Spirit Lake, the Spirit Medicine in the Spirit Medicine Field also became more lush and vibrant with the growth of the spiritual veins over the years.

Certainly, the most remarkable change was in the Star Pear Wood Demon, Peach Wood Demon, and other wood demons.

Their tree crowns blocked out the sun, and there was no need to worry about space being too cramped.

Ye Jingcheng’s gaze soon continued to extend towards the distance.

The Golden Scale Beast was further refining the Earth Qilin Palace technique, each Earth Qilin Palace strike becoming more powerful.

The Golden Falcon soared in the sky, its speed faster, occasionally diving into the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array, capable of tearing through vast swathes of earth-colored Gravity Spiritual Light, which was undoubtedly a new trial for the Golden Falcon.

The Red Flame Fox still rested in the pavilion, quietly nurturing its flame, the Sunflower Spirit Fire growing more intense upon it.

The Five-Colored Cloud Deer continued to roam throughout the Grotto Heaven, collecting various dews.

Further away, Thunder Rhinoceros Insect released Leiyun, and Five Poison Bee gathered Spiritual Honey.

These scenes were exceedingly beautiful just by looking.

And unlike the beginning, Ye Jingcheng had now discovered signs of five spiritual veins in five places throughout the Grotto Heaven.

Moreover, these five spiritual veins were each pure spiritual veins of different attributes.

Such spiritual veins are extremely rare even in the Cultivation Realm.

After all, most spiritual veins contain Five Phases of Spiritual Energy, even if biased, seldom appear as singular attribute spiritual veins.

But within the Grotto Heaven, perhaps due to spiritual vein evolution, five small singular attribute spiritual veins emerged unexpectedly.

Of course, these spiritual veins were still in their embryonic forms.

Ye Jingcheng merely set up Spirit Gathering Arrays and used Spirit Stones, making them five Tier One Lower Grade Spiritual Veins.

Only when time permits will he focus on nurturing them.

Underneath the Golden Light Bamboo Forest, as his physical body and True Essence mostly recovered, Ye Jingcheng called upon Dream-Devouring Worm, once again beginning to cultivate his Divine Soul through dream devouring.

Now at Purple Mansion Peak, he considered breaking through to Golden Core.

Cultivators strive for the unity of Essence Qi, Spirit, and Mind when breaking through, and condensing the Golden Core requires compressing the Purple Mansion into it, demanding greatly of the Divine Soul!

If his Divine Sense can prematurely break through to the fourth tier, it would undoubtedly significantly increase the success rate of breaking through to Golden Core.

The only flaw was that the Dream-Devouring Worm was still young, even after advancing once, it was merely at the early stage of second tier.

The advanced pill formula for second tier, however, had yet to be gathered.

Soon, the dusk faded, and the long night arrived.

The stars in the sky appeared unusually sparse, yet within the Spirit Lake, one after another Moon Spirit Pearl surfaced.

Finally, as many as five to six hundred Moon Spirit Pearls emerged.

Compared to the initial number Ye Jingcheng obtained, the entire Moon Spirit Clam Race had doubled.
