Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 916: Chapter 639: Cultivators Assemble, Mission Assignment (Two-in-One)

As the horizon showed the break of dawn, a strand of morning aura rose from the sea’s end, making the waves shimmer with golden light.

Purple Wood Island was evidently more prosperous than many years ago.

As one of the Three Great Purple Mansion influences of the Celestial Cloud Islands, the strength of Purple Wood Sect has grown steadily over the years.

Whether it was the island’s area, the number and height of purple wood, or the cultivators of Purple Wood Sect, all have greatly increased.

Even the spirit vein has now reached Tier Three High-Grade.

Continuously emitting spiritual energy, nurturing the entire island.

Ye Jingcheng quietly stood by the side of the island, observing everything about it, while the most dazzling was undoubtedly the Purple Wood Hall on the Purple Wood Peak of Purple Wood Island.

The entire grand hall was exceptionally imposing, as if the Hall of the Sun, overlooking the entire sea domain.

But at this moment, outside the Purple Wood Hall, it seemed exceptionally desolate.

In the past, whenever dawn arrived, many cultivators practicing the core cultivation technique of Purple Wood Sect would gather at the Purple Wood Hall to absorb the first strand of purple qi of morning aura.

Today, however, there wasn’t anyone, and Ye Jingcheng quickly guessed that the family had already begun to lay out their plans.

All actions of the Ye Family were primarily cautious.

This time, naturally would be no exception.

He even thought the Ye Family might abandon the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

After all, following this beast tide, a counterattack from the demon race would surely come, and at that time, not only would Cyan Cloud Sea Domain be undefendable, the Celestial Horse Sea Domain might even be half overrun.

The Purple Wood Sect rabble gathered by the Ye Family were utterly useless.

It would be better to turn them into pawns.

Also, deal with the hidden spies within simultaneously.

Moreover, after the beast tide, there would definitely be major sects tracing the origins. If the Ye Family still leaves any hidden island at that time, they might be exposed; it’s better to sever completely.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng took out his token and quietly entered the island.

Upon entering the island, he felt the entire island filled with a killing intent.

Almost all sect cultivators were gathered in the Martial Arts Arena on Purple Wood Island.

The Martial Arts Arena is one of the largest structures on Purple Wood Island, capable of holding ten thousand people.

And at this moment, there were six to seven thousand cultivators gathered there.

Ye Jingcheng did not go over there, even though he once played a role, there was no need to continue now.

So he went directly to the underground square on Purple Wood Island.

In the square, Ye Jingcheng also saw Ye Xuefan and other family elders, and many clan members whom he had only seen names on jade talismans before.

These clan members all looked at Ye Jingcheng, their eyes filled with tension, awe, and curiosity.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng even felt an illusion, as if he were a cultivator from Hidden Peak Hidden Island, while they were the apparent members of the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak.

Besides the Ye Family elders, there were also many Qi Cultivation cultivators; these cultivators were quite young, mostly descendants of the Hidden Peak elders over the years, and spirit root cultivators from mortal migrations of the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng glanced around, discovering that the concealed underground square held over a hundred people.

And knowing that outside the square, Hidden Island cultivators continued to return, and along with those hidden in Purple Wood Sect, Ye Jingcheng roughly estimated that the family line on the Hidden Peak side should not be fewer than two hundred people.

On Lingyun Peak, Ye Family members numbered over three hundred, meaning the true cultivation race members of the Ye Family should already not be fewer than five hundred, which is already enough to be considered a major family.

And now, the Hidden Island’s Foundation Establishment cultivators exceed forty, combined with those from Lingyun Peak, Ye Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators exceed fifty.

The only thing the Ye Family lacks now is a truly stable clan mountain, so that all family members can appear openly!

Also to let every clan member know the true strength of the Ye Family today!

“Jingcheng is here?” Ye Xuefan knew that Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Qilin Flood Dragon obtained a Celestial Dragon Fruit.

This kind of Celestial Dragon Fruit has a significant enhancement for flood dragon types, so the small breakthrough Ye Jingcheng talked about was no small breakthrough but evidently breaking through to Tier Four Demon King.

However, as an elder, it’s inappropriate to inquire in detail, besides, Ye Jingcheng’s improved strength is a good thing.

With Ye Jingcheng’s Two-headed Turtle Demon King, the Ye Family’s plans will only proceed more smoothly.

“Fourth Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng also greeted.

Ye Xuefan went further to introduce him to the other clan members:

“This is the Patriarch of our Ye Family!”

For most of the Ye Family’s Hidden Island cultivators, though their seniority is higher than Ye Jingcheng, due to disparity in cultivation, they hesitated to directly call his name, and addressing him as True Master feels too formal, so there’s some hesitance on their faces.

Yet at this moment, upon hearing Ye Xuefan’s words, one by one they began to call out.

Although Ye Jingcheng is only the Patriarch of Lingyun Peak, his status as a hundred-year-old Golden Core cultivator makes him exceedingly suitable to be Patriarch of the entire Ye Family, they naturally wouldn’t oppose.

“Dear uncles, granduncles, and senior uncles, you’re too kind.”

Ye Jingcheng also returned the gesture with a cupped hand.

Among the Hidden Island cultivators here, only a few Qi Cultivation cultivators might have seniority similar to his.

These Qi Cultivation cultivators are spirit root race people born from the mortal migrations the Ye Family undertook before.

But even for Qi Cultivation cultivators and those with lesser seniority, Ye Jingcheng responded to each.

However, soon, Ye Xuefan transmitted a voice message.

“Jingcheng, come to the stone chamber to discuss the specific matters ahead!”

Ye Jingcheng nodded, evidently the transmission message was also received by Ye Haifei, Ye Xuefu, and a few other family elders.

Soon Ye Jingcheng entered the room.

The room was evidently an alchemy room previously, with an adjoining earth fire array; now, with sandalwood smoke faintly burning, it quickly filled the entire room.

It gives off a faintly elegant fragrance.

Inside the room, Ye Shengyi had clearly arrived earlier, along with Ye Haige, Ye Haisheng, and Ye Haicheng.

All of the Ye Family Golden Core Purple Mansion Cultivators were gathered here except for Ye Xuecang and Ye Jingyu.

“Everyone reveal your Beast Communication Patterns; the matters ahead are quite critical.” Ye Xuefan continued to speak.

Ye Shengyi was the first to set an example, and this was the first time Ye Jingcheng saw Ye Shengyi’s Beast Communication Pattern, which included one Five-Inch and one Three-Inch Beast Communication Pattern, definitely top-tier within the Ye Family.

The remaining members also had Beast Communication Patterns above five inches; Ye Haige even had two Five-Inch Patterns and one Three-Inch Pattern, similar to Ye Jing Hu’s.

Even Ye Haisheng’s Beast Communication Pattern consisted of two Five-Inch Patterns.

Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment but still showed a Seven-Inch Beast Communication Pattern.

However, the other Ye Family Members showed no sign of surprise.

After all, they wouldn’t believe Ye Jingcheng had communicated with so many Spirit Beasts without a Seven-Inch Beast Pattern.

They simply didn’t know why Ye Jingcheng hadn’t revealed it before.

“Alright, the upcoming matter concerns the clan’s fortune for the next several hundred years. If victorious, the Ye Family will become a Nascent Soul Family. If we fail, we must find ways to continue our legacy!”

“Our Ye Family has a deep-rooted history, and all of you are central figures in this mission. We all carry a heavy burden!”

Ye Xuefan spoke and gazed around at everyone, finally focusing on Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng also felt the weight of responsibility increase.

He knew that this Beast Tide, no matter how strategically planned, would entail danger and unexpected events, especially since the Ye Family lacked Nascent Soul combat power.

It might even result in the death of many family members!

“First, regarding the deployment this time, it will be divided into three teams. Jingyu and Haifei will each lead a team, serving as the face to attract the Beast Tide; one person will continue slaying Demon Beasts near Cangyin Island while the other heads to Jade Mountain Island to plant Tier Four Demon-enticing Grass to incite Qinghe Sect!” Ye Xuefan spoke.

He also looked at Ye Haifei.

Ye Jingyu had yet to arrive; the person was responsible for mobilizing the cultivators of Purple Wood Sect.

Thus, the matter was entrusted to Ye Haifei.

“During operations, exercise extreme caution; Qinghe Sect uses the Profound River Infinite Sword Array, and there must be Golden Core Cultivators present, possibly more than one!” Ye Xuefan continued.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng realized his Golden Falcon had discovered this Jade Mountain Island.

Additionally, he had alerted the Ye Family Elders, who had evidently been investigating for over a month.

He hadn’t expected the other side to also be collecting Beast Souls for refining the Profound River Infinite Sword Array.

No wonder they hadn’t acted against the Ye Family for years.

From this, it’s evident that gathering Beast Souls in the Sea Domain is no easy task.

Firstly, due to concerns about causing disturbance; secondly, due to the inability to continuously hunt, which might alert Demon Kings, Demon Emperors, or other forces, risking interception.

The Ye Family is practically aiding the opponent this time.

If it weren’t for the Demon-enticing Grass, the other party wouldn’t have collected Beast Souls so swiftly.

“Fourth Uncle, rest assured, Haifei will fulfill the task and will meet up with Jingyu to complete the Demon Hunting mission!”

“Your task is to slay at least ten Tier Three Great Demons, a minimum of five thousand Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts. The Golden Rhinoceros will join your action!” Ye Xuefan exclaimed.

Ye Haifei nodded again, with an unusually firm gaze.

“Haige and Xuefu, you’ll pose as Yun Baili and Yun Qiansheng within the Yun Family, accompanying Second Brother to Yin Shark Abyss!”

“You have no assigned mission, but you must… be cautious, and return… safely!” Ye Xuefan immediately added after speaking.

While saying this, Ye Xuefan handed over a Storage Bag.

“Inside are some Flying Puppets, Five Elements Celestial Armor Puppets, and several Arrays. In critical moments, do not hold back!” Ye Xuefan elaborated extensively.

The journey to Yin Shark Abyss is naturally more perilous.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this!” Ye Haige still appeared relaxed and carefree, but Ye Xuefu nodded heavily.

Their group is responsible for drawing the Demon Emperor’s attention, as well as that of the Human Race forces.

It inevitably involves Nascent Soul combat power, and even with Ye Xuecang present, significant problems could arise.

The only advantage is Ye Xuecang’s possession of Spirit Treasures and Ancient Treasures.

But the danger is higher than for Ye Haifei and Ye Jingyu in the first team.

“Jingcheng, Haicheng, Haisheng, along with myself and Third Uncle, our task is with the Earth Dragon Demon King, to slay at least seven Demon Kings, forty Tier Three Great Demons, and over a hundred thousand Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts, while activating three pieces of Tier Four Demon-enticing Grass!”

“We have only five days to accomplish this; if not completed in time, retreat is imperative!”

“The chosen location will be on the Outer Seas, at San Yuan Island!” Ye Xuefan spoke up.

Ye Jingcheng felt an immense pressure; even counting himself, the Earth Dragon Demon King, Ye Shengyi, and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon Double-headed Turtle, there were only five Golden Core combat forces.

Among them, only the Earth Dragon Demon King boasts peak Golden Core battle power; the others are at the early stage of Golden Core battle power, with the strongest estimated to be his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

The pressure to kill seven Demon Kings is considerable.

Back when they took down the Sea Turtle, it required the combined efforts of the Earth Dragon Demon King and Ye Xuecang, and it was only a successful kill due to the Sea-covering Demon King being at the early stage of Golden Core.

The Demon Kings appearing this time might not all be at the early stage.

Moreover, activating three pieces of Tier Four Demon-enticing Grass might even attract a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.

Though Ye Xuecang and the others at Yin Shark Abyss are causing a bigger ruckus, drawing the Demon Emperor’s attention, the risk remains high.

Additionally, San Yuan Island isn’t located at the external sea of the Celestial Cloud Islands, but in the outer sea corresponding to the Luoyun Islands and Chi Yun Islands.

The beast tides there have historically been the most numerous.

The vast number of Tier Three Great Demons and Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts gathered there must be immense.
