Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Celestial Departure Grassland, where the sky is particularly blue and the grass is lush.

Countless Cyan Kirin Horses gallop across the grassland, making a sound like rolling thunder.

Cyan-Scaled Horses are not uncommon on the Celestial Departure Grassland, but they are one of the most favored demon beasts among loose cultivators.

An adult Cyan-Scaled Horse is usually only at the Early Stage of the First Tier, with very few reaching the Mid-stage First Tier.

Their combat power isn’t particularly strong.

What makes them famous is their speed.

So sometimes, you don’t see many Spiritual Ships on the Celestial Departure Grassland, but there are quite a few people riding Cyan-Scaled Horses.

There are even loose cultivators operating in the Yuanling Oasis, capturing and selling Cyan-Scaled Horses.

“There are so many Cyan Kirin Horses in this group, and the tallest one is probably nearing the Late Stage of the First Tier, worthy of being called a Horse King!” At this moment, three cultivators were also riding three Cyan Kirin Horses on the grassland.

However, the three did not give chase.

Instead, one of them spoke:

“Did you see the Fire Cloud Bird in the sky? It’s the spirit beast of the Foundation Establishment Daoist seniors from Yulan Pavilion. These Cyan-Scaled Horses are clearly raised by them!”

“Yes, it’s said that those Daoists are extremely ruthless, we’d better not get too close!” another person spoke with lingering fear.

The three of them showed a hint of regret and then retreated into the distance.

Only that they didn’t know, shortly after they left, someone unexpectedly appeared at the spot – a person in a cyan robe, none other than Ye Jingcheng.

That day, after the Peach Wood Demon passed through part of the Array, Ye Jingcheng explored a round in the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

However, after a round, Ye Jingcheng’s gains were not much.

Obviously, most of the strong cultivators must be trapped deep inside, so except for the initial good luck in obtaining the Blood Nurturing Pill and the Celestial Sand Spirit Manual, the subsequent gains did not satisfy Ye Jingcheng.

Nevertheless, Ye Jingcheng penned a simple Spirit Diagram of the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, planning to venture there again after the Peach Wood breaks through to Tier Four.

That time, the gains should be much more.

After leaving the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, Ye Jingcheng rushed to Celestial Departure Grassland without rest to fulfill his responsibilities at Hidden Peak.

This also set an example for the family.

After all, because of him, a Teleportation Array was indeed lost.

Of course, apart from redemption, he also wanted to figure out whether there were Demon Kings or even Demon Saints in the Celestial Departure Grassland and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, as this was equally important.

It might even be related to the Earth Dragon Demon King’s breakthrough, for the absence of beasts during a Golden Core Thunder Tribulation doesn’t guarantee none will appear for a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Upon hearing those people discuss Yulan Pavilion, he paused.

Why Yulan Pavilion?

It was naturally Hidden Peak of the Ye family, comprising Ye Qingwen, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Jingting, among others.

Only, they don’t call it Hidden Peak but Yulan Pavilion, and each referred to themselves as Daoist.

He didn’t care about the naming of Hidden Peak, after all, the Celestial Departure Grassland’s Hidden Peak differed from that in the Eastern Domain.

The Hidden Peak in the Eastern Domain focused on concealment, while that of the Celestial Departure Grassland emphasized development, followed by exploration.

As for a hidden identity, it came last.

Ye Jingcheng followed the Cyan Kirin Horses and soon reached a small hill.

On the hill, several caves had been established, and there was a Tier Two Spiritual Vein here as well.

At a glance, Ye Jingting could be seen studying Spirit Talismans.

Ye Jingting relied on Spirit Talismans during her Qi Cultivation period.

In Foundation Establishment, she deepened her research into Spirit Talismans, as her talent wasn’t high, and if her skills in the Four Arts of Cultivation were also poor, her future wouldn’t look bright even with the Beast Communication Pattern!

“Eleventh Brother!” Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingting immediately greeted him.

Evidently, while researching Spirit Talismans, Ye Jingting was also always mindful of her surroundings.

She was not so focused as to be completely engrossed.

“Your few have quite a reputation!” Ye Jingcheng pointed to the distant herd of Cyan Kirin Horses.

The group of Cyan Kirin Horses wasn’t small, estimated to number five or six hundred.

Each was extraordinarily majestic, and among them were some young horses, which Ye Jingcheng sensed could undergo advancement a couple of times!

“Eleventh Brother, we asked Brother Jing Feng for advice, and he suggested that it’s better to have a fierce reputation!” Ye Jingting couldn’t help but say.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but chuckle, clearly, Ye Jingting misunderstood.

However, Ye Jingcheng didn’t say much more.

After all, a bad reputation wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“Tell me about your investigations at Hidden Peak. Are Qingfeng and Qingwen in seclusion?” Ye Jingcheng asked again.

This time, he did not use his Divine Sense to search the remaining caves.

“They’ve all gone to seek opportunities; we are taking turns guarding here now!”

“Eleventh Brother, Celestial Departure Grassland is vast, and our exploration hasn’t been ideal…” Ye Jingting took out a Jade Talisman for Ye Jingcheng to inspect.

The Jade Talisman contained the latest Spirit Diagram of the Celestial Departure Grassland.

This Spirit Diagram was far clearer than those purchased from loose cultivators.

It marked the locations of Demon Kings, Tier Three Spiritual Veins, even Tier Four Spiritual Veins.

Yet, not a single Demon Emperor was noted.

Ye Jingcheng understood that the chance of a Demon Emperor in the Celestial Departure Grassland was low.

It was in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that it was more likely.

And Ye Jingting and others had done quite well to detect this much.

Moreover, within this Spirit Diagram, Ye Jingcheng discovered a Tier Four Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King.

“Did you use this herd of Cyan Kirin Horses for detection?” Ye Jingcheng inquired.

“Yes, Eleventh Brother, you’re indeed prescient!” Ye Jingting praised repeatedly.

Ye Jingcheng merely shook his head in disbelief. He detected it, not because of anything else, but because he noticed that the records of Spirit Medicine and some special environments were rather few.

This indicated that Ye Jingting and the others relied on the Cyan Kirin Horses crossing borders, disturbing Demon Kings and Great Demons for detection.

Naturally, the exploration of the Spirit Medicine was reduced.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng had to admit that it was indeed a good idea.

In the Celestial Departure Grassland, the Ye Clan need not be overly cautious.

“It’s time to perfect some spirit medicines and special environments. In the future, the Ye Clan will not only develop Spirit Beasts but also a Spirit Medicine Garden!” Ye Jingcheng continued.

Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly.

During the conversation between them, the figures of a Fire Cloud Bird and a Blood Moon Python appeared in the distance. Soon, Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingwen also returned with several other clan members.

“Eleventh Uncle!” The clan members greeted.

“Not bad!” Ye Jingcheng praised them one by one.

Their cultivation was solid, and Ye Qingwen had surpassed many peers of the Jing Generation, reaching the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

In terms of talent, there’s no need to elaborate.

Ye Qingfeng and Ye Jingcheng, although slightly lagging, were also not far from the Early Stage Peak.

“By the way, in a few days, I will be stationed here at Cyan Ox Mountain!” Ye Jingcheng suddenly announced.

“Eleventh Brother, is our progress too slow?” Ye Jingcheng’s face fell.

“No, I was also penalized and sent to Hidden Peak!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head and did not hide.

This immediately piqued their interest.

“Eleventh Uncle, even though you are a Golden Core True Master, you also got penalized!”

“What, do you underestimate your Eleventh Uncle? Clan rules of the Ye Clan come first, even your Eleventh Uncle abides by them!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but say.

He then added:

“Your bad reputation is good. Think of one for me too and spread it around, so I won’t have a lot of visitors watching at Cyan Ox Mountain!” Ye Jingcheng said again.

The Ye Clan naturally retained the Loose Cultivators of the Celestial Departure Grassland and the Yuanling Oasis.

The Ye Clan certainly wouldn’t silence them; leaving a bad reputation indeed works well.

“Okay, rest assured, Eleventh Brother!” Ye Jingcheng agreed repeatedly, also seeing Ye Jingcheng off.

She then looked at the others.

“Eleventh Brother is a True Master; we certainly can’t name him Daoist. What name do you think fits?”

“Of course, let’s name him a Demon; with Eleventh Uncle’s reputation, calling him Dust Demon would ensure no one bothers us!” Ye Qingwen was the first to suggest.

Only to be quickly vetoed by the two.

That name was too inappropriate, and it might easily cause those righteous individuals to misunderstand!

“Let’s call him Poison Ascendant, it won’t be too indifferent, but it also won’t ruin Eleventh Brother’s reputation!!” In the end, Ye Jingcheng made the final decision and started circulating Ye Jingcheng’s reputation!

Meanwhile, on a slightly elevated mountain several thousand miles away, Ye Jingcheng had already begun his clean-up.

He naturally didn’t know that his current reputation had turned into Dust Demon and Poison Ascendant, among others.

This mountain was named Cyan Ox Mountain, because of a Tier Three Profound Cyan Ox Great Demon atop it.

Upon learning that the Profound Cyan Ox was merely an old ox, Ye Jingcheng directly slew it, claiming Cyan Ox Mountain for his own.

It had a Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Vein. Though not as good as a Tier Five Spirit Vein, it was still quite excellent for Hidden Peak.

The most crucial point was that he could rely on Cyan Ox Mountain to let the Golden Falcon and Five-Colored Cloud Deer explore the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

…

Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, an island in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea.

At this moment, an elder with a Flood Dragon head first landed on the island.

“Tian De, after so many years, why are you so hesitant?”

“Brother Jiao, your strength has become increasingly formidable, making Tian De somewhat apprehensive!” said another elder emerging from the shadows, his words tinged with a hint of fear.

Yet, his gaze became repeatedly fierce.

“Do you mean to say you’re going to obstruct our Celestial Flood Dragon Sea?”

As soon as these words left his mouth, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth seemed to change.

Unlike ordinary Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, for a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, they have the ability to mobilize the Spiritual Qi of the world, pressuring others with the momentum of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, it’s rumored in the Cultivation Realm that not even a thousand Nascent Souls could match a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

This is enough to demonstrate the terrifying might of a Divine Monarch’s Divinity Transformation.

“Perhaps I will!” Tian De Divine Monarch countered without yielding, exuding his own aura.

Noticing that the aura of the Flood Dragon Saint had weakened slightly, Tian De Divine Monarch spoke again:

“Two Dragon Soul Grass plants!”

Evidently, the Flood Dragon Saint had no intention of dueling with Tian De Divine Monarch.

After all, once the fight is over, the breakthrough of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea will naturally be exposed.

This was not something the Flood Dragon Saint wished to see.

The Demon Race’s Beast Tide could be united, but that didn’t mean they were wholeheartedly on the same side.

“No way, our Flood Dragon Race needs Dragon Soul Grass too, not even one is permissible!” the Flood Dragon Saint directly refused and was getting ready to leave.

Seeing this, Tian De Divine Monarch spoke once more: “What if a few Nascent Souls were given to the Flood Dragon Race?”

“This can be labeled as theft!”

“In the Celestial Horse Sea Domain, you can purge again!”

“One Dragon Soul Grass at most!” The Flood Dragon Saint nodded this time.

Having said that, it looked at Tian De Divine Monarch.

“Your Human Race is indeed terrifying, aren’t you worried that your Penglai might be exposed to all the sects in the Eastern Domain?”

“No need for the Flood Dragon Saint’s concern, just ensure the treasure is delivered on time!” Tian De Divine Monarch was unwilling to answer.

In his eyes, apart from forming a Dao Foundation and seeking Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Elixirs or Tier Six Treasures, Nascent Soul cultivators served no purpose!

Why would he pity them!

Moreover, in his view, the Four Sects of Qilu were slightly too many, vaguely forming an alliance.
