Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 894: Chapter 626: Divine Soul Breakthrough

On the sprawling mountain, some towering trees rose high into the clouds!

Some trees had leaves spreading like canopies, covering the sky, with sunlight filtering through the gaps, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.

A figure was climbing halfway up, gasping for breath; it was Ye Jingcheng.

At this moment, he looked up at the peak with a face full of helplessness.

This time, Ye Jingcheng hesitated completely.

He finally discovered the power of the array.

He was trapped on Lingyun Peak, but it wasn’t the normal Lingyun Peak; it was Lingyun Peak devoid of spiritual power.

He could never reach the peak or leave Lingyun Peak. He told himself countless times that this was an illusion array, but the illusion array never disappeared.

And because he was devoid of magic, he couldn’t even find where the array foundation was.

Nor could he find the crucial marking points; it was like being in a closed room, never able to find the door.

“The trees are not it, the steps are not it, the sun is not it, the tree shadows are not it…” Ye Jingcheng denied one by one. Even though he knew everything was fake, he was helpless.

And just at this moment, the illusion array suddenly disappeared, revealing the worried figures of the Peach Wood Demon and the Star Pear Wood Demon in the distance.

The Peach Wood Demon still wore a flattering smile, while the several Star Pear Wood Demons had varied expressions.

With one glance, Ye Jingcheng knew he had exited the illusion realm.

Moreover, using the treasure book and the soul contract, several wood demons responded.

“Master, fifteen days are up…” The Peach Wood Demon hesitantly spoke.

After all, having failed to break the illusion array, the Peach Wood Demon showed the empathy befitting a servant. The other Star Pear Wood Demons remained indifferent, only the small Star Pear Wood Demon mischievously mimicking Ye Jingcheng climbing the mountain.

It was immediately glared at by several Star Pear Wood Demons.

Ye Jingcheng felt the soul contract and the memories within, realizing his actions for the past ten days were just climbing in place.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the sharpness of the array.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s expression, the heads of the wood demons lowered further.

Especially the Peach Wood Demon:

“Master, I should have insisted on testing the array for you. It’s the little demon’s fault now. Please punish your servant, and assign more peach binding targets for it…”

“It’s not your fault; you did quite well!” Ye Jingcheng hurriedly interrupted, well aware of the Peach Wood Demon’s flattery and talking skills. He dared not test the Peach Wood Demon’s limits.

Although he failed the array challenge, he actually gained a lot from the illusion array this time.

Firstly, he understood a significant loophole—his internal treasure book was clearly a high-tier treasure that even the illusion array couldn’t affect its judgment.

This was also why Ye Jingcheng could smoothly pass the second stage.

The treasure book was something Ye Jingcheng believed could be useful even during his Heart Demon Tribulation.

Secondly, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, failing to pass the third stage was due to his heart and will being insufficient.

Not reaching the level of Tier Four.

This required him to continue training his body, employ the Dream-Devouring Worm to devour dreams, and practice alchemy skills!

All three proceeding together, achieving the pinnacle in body refining, soul enhancement, and special techniques!

And having the wood demons timely send him out was already quite commendable in his view.

Ye Jingcheng rewarded them with some Wood Hearts and Treasure Light, then went directly under the Golden Light Bamboo pavilion to quietly reflect on this illusion array journey.

Once everything was ready, Ye Jingcheng resumed his daily cultivation routine.

At sunrise, he’d enter the Celestial Spirit Body Tempering Array, enduring the relentless attacks of the Wood Giants with his Profound Desolate Body!

At noon, descend the mountain to nourish his body with spiritual cuisine.

After the spiritual cuisine, use the Dream-Devouring Worm to devour dreams and cultivate, feeling the life of myriad beasts, enhancing his divine soul.

Once the enhancement of the divine soul was complete, he would begin refining pills, starting with various Tier One Five Elements Advancement Pills, to the Ye Family’s systematic Tier Two Advancement Pills, and finally refining Tier Two Dream-Devouring Pills, Tier Three White Eyebrow Pills…

…

In the timeless realm of cultivation, two more years passed.

The dawn subtly broke in the east, casting a vast purple dawn light.

In the Spirit Lake, the Moon Spirit Pearls that had swum all night began sinking quietly to the bottom.

However, within the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array, there was a booming sound as two Tier Three Vajra Vine Wood Giants occasionally collided with Ye Jingcheng.

They clashed like three iron men, creating terrifying roars.

The commotion was evident for a while, and at this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s gaze was intensely fiery.

This physical clash naturally triggered the emergence of Ye Jingcheng’s blood qi.

And this body training session wasn’t just beginning; Ye Jingcheng had been at it for a full ten days.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt a power surge within his body.

His Desolate Body advanced further, the hidden Profound Wilderness Spirit Patterns on his body increased, marking his physical body stepping from the Early Stage of Purple Mansion into the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion!

With just a casual punch, he felt filled with power.

A smile spread across his face as he took another Desolate Step, feeling that the steps he couldn’t perform before could finally be executed now.

Whoosh!

Ye Jingcheng’s figure suddenly became incredibly elusive!

With a booming punch, a Vajra Vine Wood Giant exploded instantly, turning into a pile of wood shavings.

The remaining Wood Giant was also quickly dealt with by Ye Jingcheng.

It should be noted that at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was still carrying the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array, which showed how strong Ye Jingcheng’s body had become.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but step out of the Celestial Spirit Body Tempering Array and summon the Five-Colored Cloud Deer!

He directly compared speed with the Five-Colored Cloud Deer.

However, in this comparison, while Ye Jingcheng was not as fast in straight-line speed as the Five-Colored Cloud Deer, his burst and maneuverability didn’t fall behind by any means.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but beam with greater joy.

“Now, it’s lacking in Divine Soul!” Ye Jingcheng suppressed his joy and summoned the Dream-Devouring Worm.

At this moment, the Dream-Devouring Worm had grown significantly larger.

In the first two months of his seclusion, Ye Jingcheng had successfully refined the Tier Two Dream-Devouring Pill, and now the Tier Two Dream-Devouring Worm had successfully advanced, not only its bloodline advanced, but its cultivation had also broken through to the Mid-stage of Second Tier.

The enhancement was stronger, and his Divine Soul was already nearing the critical point of the Fourth Tier.

He summoned the Dream-Devouring Worm into his palm, this time giving it a Tier Three Peak Spirit Beast Soul.

This Beast Soul was from a Great Demon slain by Jade Qilin Flood Dragon in recent days, a Beast Soul of a Tiger Whale.

For the Dream-Devouring Worm, it was indeed somewhat difficult, but Ye Jingcheng had reached a critical breakthrough point, and with his physical body just breaking through, he decided to take the gamble.

Then Ye Jingcheng also took out a Spirit Pill!

The Spirit Pill was entirely purple, with three Pill Patterns, making it a Top Grade among Spirit Pills, and it was precisely the Purple Soul Pill.

This Purple Soul Pill primarily enhances the Divine Soul of the Middle Stage or Late Stage of Purple Mansion, but with Pill Patterns, it greatly benefits even the Purple Mansion Peak!

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Soul was just one step away from the Fourth Tier!

As he consumed the Spirit Pill, a thick Soul Power surged into his Purple Mansion, and he hurriedly kept his mind focused, cultivating the Celestial Soul Technique.

Though the Celestial Soul Technique provided only general enhancement now, it was the most effective refinement method.

However, even so, he felt as if his Divine Soul was bound, and a cage awaited his breakthrough!

At this moment, a layer of Nightmare enveloped his body.

In this instant, he seemed to transform into a carefree Tiger Whale in the sea.

His breathing synchronized with the Tiger Whale, he leapt, hunted, and dove in the ocean…

As the Tiger Whale leapt out of the surface, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes, and in a flash, his Divine Soul expanded madly, with his Divine Sense rushing outward like a tsunami.

All the way to the end of his Grotto Heaven!

He still felt his limits hadn’t reached.

At this moment, he stepped out of the Grotto Heaven, fully extending his Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense sensed the distant sea, the remote islands, and various Demon Beasts far away.

He even sensed the Roc Fish driving the Spirit Fish, felt the glide of the Golden Falcon, and even sensed Jade Qilin Flood Dragon devouring a Great Demon Water Spike Turtle!

Everything became incredibly clear.

After some time, Ye Jingcheng retracted his Divine Sense, his face unable to hide his jubilation.

Moreover, this time, it not only affected him but also alerted Ye Shengyi nearby. When the latter saw Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Sense seemingly comparable to his own, a look of satisfaction and inevitability appeared on his face.

He had witnessed Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation for the past two years, from dawn till dusk.

He had heard of Ye Jingcheng’s leisure before, thus assuming Ye Jingcheng enjoyed a cultivator’s life.

But now, these past two years, he recognized Ye Jingcheng as more of an iron-willed individual.

“Jingcheng, next, you can relax a bit, enjoy the mountains, enjoy the sea!” Ye Shengyi suggested at this moment.

These past two years, Ye Jingcheng had been refining his body, enhancing his soul, and refining pills to condense True Essence, with his spirit almost taut to the extreme!

“Third Ancestor, I will!” Ye Jingcheng also nodded.

He understood what Ye Shengyi meant.

And indeed, he had reached this point.

Now he needed relaxation, communicate with beasts, and then solidify pills!
