Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Above the desert, sand and dust rolled, the scene was vast.

The Golden Scale Beast stepped onto the void, howling towards the sky.

It released the Earth Qilin Hall beneath its feet, watching the rolling thunderclouds, and the majestic celestial thunder.

As if treating the thunder as a rival, it defiantly challenged.

Seeing the third strike of thunder falling, it leapt out of the Golden Light Grand Clock Array, heading straight for the thunder tribulation.

Having witnessed the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox crossing the tribulation, how could it be content to be outdone by those two beasts, though it couldn’t swallow the thunderclouds or burn them away?

But it could withstand without relying on the array!

And as the Golden Scale Beast leaped, besides the Earth Qilin Hall, countless Cloud Fall Star Rocks and Earth Spikes appeared in the sky.

These spells, for the Golden Scale Beast, had long become instantaneous spells, able to appear in masses with just a thought.

Even these star rocks turned around, smashing towards the thunder tribulation from low altitude; clearly, the Golden Scale Beast’s control over repulsion had reached the point of reversing gravity.

For a moment, stone fragments flew, and thunder light surged.

But clearly, the third thunder tribulation was still superior, shattering countless earth spikes and star rocks.

Finally, the Earth Qilin Hall shattered like a cobweb, yet the Golden Scale Beast once again faced it directly, its claw striking hard.

Boom!

The thunder rolled again.

The dazzling thunder light finally dispersed, mostly pouring into the Golden Scale Beast’s body, as it landed back into the array.

Its entire body was covered in thunder light, and its scale armor was shattered completely, not a single layer remained.

It looked extremely battered, yet it continued to roar incessantly.

“Not enough, come again!”

Ye Jingcheng, seeing this, let out a long sigh of relief.

As expected, the Golden Scale Beast crossing the tribulation was somewhat easier than the Red Flame Fox.

Despite looking like the scale armor was mostly shattered, Ye Jingcheng had a soul contract with the Golden Scale Beast, allowing him to sense that not only was the Golden Scale Beast’s state not bad, it was excellent.

As if it were using the thunder tribulation for body forging.

Now that three strikes had passed, the Golden Scale Beast’s physical body was now glistening with a golden sheen, its regenerated scale armor even thicker.

Making its originally slender body appear rather plump.

Especially the two front claws, which were significantly larger than before.

Yet even so, the Golden Scale Beast remained surprisingly nimble!

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the thunderclouds, noting that the intensity seemed to indicate about five strikes of thunder tribulation.

Comparing it, it’s akin to a top-grade Golden Core for a human race cultivator.

This was another piece of good news for Ye Jingcheng.

Additionally, since the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox had one swallowed and the other burned the thunderclouds.

Reducing the thunder tribulation, and making it hard to determine the grade of the Golden Core.

Now it seemed, at least it was a top-grade Golden Core, given that the Golden Scale Beast was somewhat weaker compared to the two.

Soon enough, the Golden Scale Beast went through two more thunder strikes.

The array remained intact, yet the Golden Scale Beast lay in a sand pit, half submerged by the yellow sand, with only a Qilin head and golden armor exposed.

By inspecting with Divine Sense, one could see the Golden Scale Beast’s body was covered with bruises, obviously heavily injured.

Yet even facing serious injuries, the Golden Scale Beast refused to use the array, unwilling to be outshone by the Red Flame Fox and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng approach, the Golden Scale Beast couldn’t help but let out an excited low growl.

As if it had triumphed over some adversary.

“Master, this thunder tribulation is mere drizzle, taking on another White-haired Snake is no problem!” the Golden Scale Beast said.

“So stubborn, next time during a beast tide or if there’s an enemy, you’ll be the first to go!” Ye Jingcheng also stepped forward, speaking unkindly.

Simultaneously starting to channel treasure light, although from his sensing, even without his treasure light, the Golden Scale Beast’s recovery wouldn’t be slow.

Celestial thunder, it is both destruction and rebirth.

Absorbing this kind of power, the Golden Scale Beast’s innate recovery ability would also transform qualitatively.

After channeling the treasure light, Ye Jingcheng looked outside, seeing the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon roaring continuously, its profound cold storm freezing many demon insects.

Most of these demon insects were some Sand Scorpions and Red Ants; Ye Jingcheng naturally had no interest in these ordinary spirit insects.

He was just curious why it didn’t attract the demon beasts and the Demon King from the Celestial Departure Grassland.

His gaze also turned towards the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Earlier, the Red Flame Fox’s breakthrough had attracted a Great Demon, yet this time there wasn’t any; Ye Jingcheng could only think it was because of the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Often, demon beasts’ sense of danger is sharper than that of cultivators, perhaps the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, to those demon beasts, seemed extremely dangerous, making them too scared to come.

Ye Jingcheng checked the footage left by his Shadow Wood Puppet, finding nothing amiss, eventually giving up.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a connection with his Five Poison Bees.

He took out the Spirit Disc, discovering that the Five Poison Bees were actually approaching him.

It seemed as if there had been some shift in the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land just now.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.

The Illusory Sand Forbidden Land he had been unable to explore seemed to have temporarily weakened due to the spiritual energy absorbed by the thunder tribulation.

Ye Jingcheng hurriedly collected a few spirit beasts, heading towards the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Soon enough, he gathered all the Five Poison Bees.

Simultaneously, he also retracted his soul split.

Feeling the memories from the soul split.

Ye Jingcheng was even more surprised. Through the memories of the Soul Split and the Five Poison Bees, it was evident that this city was a natural illusion realm, filled with palaces, rooms, buildings, corridors, endlessly repeating.

Moreover, there were quite a few corpses inside, clearly showing that many people had been trapped to death here before.

There were even quite a few storage bags inside.

However, the Soul Split felt an urgency in finding an exit, so he didn’t bother picking them up.

After all, information is far more important than storage bags.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng even suspected that there were still cultivators trapped inside.

He also intended to try to take out the Peach Wood Demon, as the Thunder Tribulation could break this Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

This was because the illusion array needed spiritual energy to be maintained, and even natural illusion arrays were built on the foundation of spiritual veins.

The formation of a Thunder Tribulation also required spiritual energy, and on the dunes, there was naturally insufficient spiritual energy.

Thus, it absorbed the spiritual energy of the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land,

causing a temporary spiritual energy vacuum, breaking the array, allowing a few Five Poison Bees to escape.

Of course, this was also because the Five Poison Bees hadn’t ventured too deep.

Ye Jingcheng could still sense that there were several still trapped inside!

Ye Jingcheng once again arrived at the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

The colossal ancient city still stood majestically, with countless yellow sands pouring over it.

Yet the sand on the ancient city neither increased nor decreased.

It seemed that the flying sand was also an illusion.

Ye Jingcheng’s eyes shimmered with spiritual light, his Star Illusion Eye looking again, but what he saw was the same as before, as if the array had already returned to its original state.

Ye Jingcheng could only release the Peach Wood Demon.

“Master, is this your new city?” the Peach Wood Demon flatteringly said as soon as it emerged.

Its eyes first showed confusion, then were filled with anticipation!

“This city is indeed large, but it doesn’t match your status, Master. You should fill this place with spirit wood above Tier Three, and introduce a large number of spirit beasts, more flood dragons, more…”

“Peach Wood, try absorbing the spiritual energy here. This is a large natural illusion array, possibly Tier Five or even Tier Six!” Ye Jingcheng interrupted the Peach Wood Demon’s words repeatedly.

He really didn’t want to listen to Peach Wood’s digressions about the future.

Peach Wood, hearing Ye Jingcheng’s words, wanted to say that if flood dragons were hard to get, having more Three-Eyed Demon Rocs would also be majestic.

But seeing Ye Jingcheng’s gaze, it swallowed its words and began to take root on the spot.

A giant peach wood spirit shadow started to appear.

Countless roots reached towards the ancient city, beginning to absorb spiritual energy.

Under Peach Wood’s full absorption, the shadow of the ancient city truly began to blur.

The towering ancient city walls began to shorten, revealing numerous blade and sword marks.

It seemed as if a world-shaking battle took place here centuries ago.

As time progressed, more and more city gates appeared. Passing through the gates, Ye Jingcheng saw many grand halls, plazas, pavilions, and corridors from the memories of the Five Poison Bees.

Also revealed were countless white bones and storage bags.

Apparently, over the years, the cultivators and spirit beasts that entered had all perished within.

Even on the walls were their regretful memories and countless chronicles.

Ye Jingcheng saw the Sand Kingdom, the Celestial Sand Sect, and many names he had never heard of.

However, Peach Wood’s face appeared on the spirit wood.

At this moment, it looked somewhat troubled.

“Master, there is at least a Tier Five Middle Grade spiritual vein here, it’s impossible to absorb it all…” Peach Wood hesitantly said.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng understood that given Peach Wood’s current cultivation, being able to absorb even a fraction was already quite impressive.

Ye Jingcheng hurriedly took out a few Tier Three puppets.

Instructing the puppets to retrieve those storage bags and leftover treasures.

Though the chances of finding rare treasures were slim, any unexpected jade talismans or legacies would be quite good.

Before long, several puppets returned.

Each holding six storage bags.

Upon a glance, Ye Jingcheng found that two of the storage bags were already broken.

Only four storage bags remained.

Three of them were the type commonly used in the Qi Cultivation Stage, containing a few spirit stones, five or six Tier One ancient talismans, and a jade talisman.

That was all.

As for the jade talisman Ye Jingcheng glanced at, it was somewhat unexpected; it wasn’t a pill formula for cultivators, but for mortals, named Blood Nurturing Pill.

Specifically to replenish the vitality of mortals, enhancing their reproductive capability.

Though it was just a mortal pill, it would be extremely useful for the Ye Family at present.

The last storage bag, however, was not small.

It was as large as a palace, but its treasures seemed quite lacking, as if many had been used or had broken down.

One of the jade talismans was the Celestial Sand Spirit Manual.

A top-grade Profound Tier Earth Attribute cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the late stage of Nascent Soul, very applicable even to the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng quickly scanned through this cultivation technique, realizing it provided special combat power bonuses in the Desert Sea, capable of summoning sand giants three times the cultivator’s own power.

For the Ye Family’s earth attribute cultivation practitioners, this Celestial Sand Spirit Manual would definitely be an excellent secret scripture.

Besides this cultivation technique, the other treasures were equally unremarkable.

And Ye Jingcheng continued to circle the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, directing Peach Wood to keep changing positions and exploring further!
