Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Within the Grotto Heaven, Spiritual Light once again converged, transforming into waves of Spiritual Rain, gently spreading out.

Ye Jingcheng stood before the tide, gazing through the Spiritual Light at the Jade Ring Rat, whose aura was growing ever stronger in the distance.

At this moment, the expression on the Jade Ring Rat’s face was not relaxed.

Most Tier Two Demon Beasts possess an Inner Core within their bodies.

But in fact, the Jade Ring Rat has yet to develop an Inner Core.

Its successful Breathing Technique can truly be called a miracle.

And at this moment, the Jade Ring Rat was concentrating on refining its Demon Beast Inner Core.

If successful, the likelihood of achieving Purple Mansion is high.

If it fails, the consequences range from severe injuries to exploding and dying.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t do much at the moment, the only thing he could offer was mental encouragement and channeling more Spiritual Energy in the Grotto Heaven to turn into Spiritual Rain tides.

Time slowly passed, fear, anxiety, worry gradually appeared on the Jade Ring Rat’s face, ultimately transforming into firm resolve.

It opened its eyes, and its dark green pupils suddenly shot out a faint Spiritual Aura, while its ears suddenly stood upright like rabbit ears, resembling two elephant ears.

The Jade Ring Rat’s aura finally broke through to Purple Mansion, becoming a Tier Three Great Demon.

A Tier Three Demon Beast Inner Core, the size of a dragon’s eye, formed within its body.

”Thank you, master!” The Jade Ring Rat sincerely knelt before Ye Jingcheng.

Its Jade Ring Ears lay flat on the ground.

The Jade Ring Rat didn’t know how far it could go, but it knew it had passed Tier Three.

Moreover, it had fulfilled Ye Jingcheng’s demands from back then.

Even though it was the last in the Grotto Heaven to break through to Tier Three, the Tier Three Inner Core was the weakest, and even its combat power was inferior to other Tier Three Spirit Beasts, it was still overjoyed.

It always knew that it wasn’t necessary to compare with other beasts, comparing with oneself and competing with the heavens was enough.

”Consolidate well!” Ye Jingcheng extracted two Tier Three Spirit Pills, his eyes full of gratification.

The Jade Ring Rat held the Tier Three Spirit Pills, it was familiar with these pills, as the Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast had started consuming them four or fifty years ago.

The Spirit Fragrance was extremely familiar, but the feeling was entirely different.

”Master, my Breathing Technique is likely successful, I can hear more with my ears!” The Jade Ring Rat didn’t consume the pills immediately and spoke up.

When other Spirit Beasts broke through, they would demonstrate their combat power to Ye Jingcheng, but the Jade Ring Rat couldn’t, so it recalled Ye Jingcheng’s previous inquiry about hearing ability.

”Wait until you stabilize for two days, then test it out.” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

In the next two days, the Jade Ring Rat focused on consolidation, and on the third day, Ye Jingcheng took out the Jade Ring Rat and placed it in the restaurant.

Then he let it listen throughout the Market.

”Listen to how many cultivators are in the Market, and gauge their combat power,” Ye Jingcheng instructed.

The Jade Ring Rat nodded, its ears began to show layers of patterns, and its eyes slightly closed, ears rising like a full moon.

The Jade Ring Rat didn’t immediately respond, and Ye Jingcheng, seeing this, wasn’t worried.

Instead, he felt delighted.

This place was full of Arrays, and it could be said the number of Arrays here surpassed those in the entire Ye Family.

If the Jade Ring Rat spoke immediately, claiming it couldn’t hear, Ye Jingcheng might be disappointed, but the Jade Ring Rat closed its eyes, muttering with big front teeth exposed.

Ye Jingcheng naturally became curious.

After a full quarter of an hour, the Jade Ring Rat opened its eyes.

First it squeaked habitually, then exhaled a long breath.

”Master, about fifty thousand cultivators, approximately thirteen hundred are above Purple Mansion, the rest are indistinguishable,” the Jade Ring Rat declared.

”You can hear through the Arrays?” Ye Jingcheng’s eyes flashed with surprise.

”Movement and Spiritual Energy circulation can be heard,” the Jade Ring Rat’s response delighted Ye Jingcheng greatly.

This ability to hear movement and Spiritual Energy circulation might prove significant in the Earth Immortal Realm.

After all, entering the Earth Immortal Realm excludes mortals and those below Golden Core.

If Spiritual Energy fluctuations are minimal, greater power might be implied.

”Focus on training more!” Ye Jingcheng pulled out two more Spirit Pills.

At this moment, the Jade Ring Rat, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, might have effects no less than the Dream-Devouring Worm.

Throughout the next day, Ye Jingcheng supplied the Jade Ring Rat with Treasure Light, urging it to hone its Listening Technique.

Ye Jingcheng even entered the Grotto Heaven himself, setting up Arrays, controlling distances, releasing a few Five Poison Bees to refine the Jade Ring Rat’s accuracy.

...

Finally, a day had passed, and all Golden Cores commenced gathering.

This time, it wasn’t in the Market, but headed towards the Daoist Mountain Range.

Numerous cultivators rode six white Spiritual Ships towards the mountains.

These white Dragon Envoy Flying Ships were unmistakably advanced versions of the orange Dragon Envoy Flying Ships, with speeds several times greater.

”That’s our Liu Zhou State Governor!” On the Spiritual Ship, Mansion Master Xiao introduced Ye Jingcheng.

At this moment, Liu Zhou State Governor stood at the forefront of the Spiritual Ship, carrying a Cyan Wood Sword, as upright as a pine tree, facing the Gang Wind, seeming to be in Transmission with someone.

From Mansion Master Wang, he also learned that this time going to the Righteous Sect involved a total of twenty-five Nascent Souls, including ten from the Righteous Sect, three from State Governors, and the remaining twelve from various affiliated forces and independent cultivator Nascent Souls.

As for Golden Core cultivators, there were vastly more, approximately over two hundred and forty people, with the Southern Wilderness Province having the most, even though a few temporarily changed their minds, there were still sixty-three.

”This is the Chudao Mountain of the Daoist Mountain Range!” Before long, Ye Jingcheng saw a Spirit Mountain with a huge mountain gate appearing before everyone.

Righteous Sect differs from ordinary forces; Spirit Mountains, Grand Halls, Treasure Towers, everything is on one peak.

Righteous Sect occupies an entire mountain just for this mountain gate.

From the mountain, a great Spiritual Pressure emanated, leaving Ye Jingcheng slightly breathless.

Only by chanting the doctrine of the Righteous Sect would the power of the Array slowly diminish.

This Grand Array, Ye Jingcheng estimated, is all Tier Six, and a sense of reverence naturally arose in his heart.

Of course, his gaze remained clear, still carrying a hint of Spiritual Light.

Although the Ye Family currently hasn’t reached this level, in his view, with the Beast Communication Tower, steady development would lead to such sights eventually—it’s just a matter of time.

The entire mountain gate of the Righteous Sect stood nine zhang and nine chi high, just shy of a hundred chi.

At the two arches of the mountain gate, carved were the Spirit Shadows of Flood Dragon and Celestial Phoenix.

Even the eyes of the Flood Dragon stone carving made Ye Jingcheng feel as though being watched.

Then, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but be captivated by the three large characters on the plaque of the Righteous Sect.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng seemed to transform into a servant disciple of the Righteous Sect, growing step-by-step into an outer disciple, a direct disciple, a Mansion Master...

Clearly, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t paying attention, looking for too long, and unexpectedly got lost in an Illusion Realm, unable to extricate himself, until his Divine Soul cooled slightly, waking him.

Even though he awakened, the memory remained incredibly vivid, as if it truly happened.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at Mansion Masters Wang and Xiao; none of them spoke, seemingly intentionally letting everyone watch for a while.

Though it’s just a Small Array, it resembles the Soul-Catching Melody used for testing during the Communication Beast Awakening of the Ye Family.

While it won’t affect anything, any ill intent would be immediately discovered.

The group passed through the mountain gate, finally gathering at a plaza.

A cultivator wearing Righteous Sect attire walked onto the central high platform of the plaza.

”Ladies and gentlemen, the trip to the Earth Immortal Realm concerns your opportunities and destiny. I am Yun Ye, and next, I will explain some matters requiring your attention...”

Though True Monarch Yun Ye spoke with righteousness, concerning the details of the Earth Immortal Realm, he didn’t speak as thoroughly as Mansion Master Wang. Ye Jingcheng listened for a while before stopping.

He also understood that the Righteous Sect wouldn’t be so kind as to reveal any crucial secret information.

Despite the vast Earth Immortal Realm, there were still some separations between the Righteous Sect and its affiliated sects.

These matters spread publicly many times in the Eastern Domain.

After all, unlike the Penglai Demon Sect, controlling every Nascent Soul Golden Core entering the Earth Immortal Realm, a Heavenly Dao Oath had to be made each time one left the Earth Immortal Realm.

”You may sit here and meditate; three days later, you’ll be transported to the Earth Immortal Platform in the Earth Immortal Realm. Remember, on the Earth Immortal Platform, Uncle Master Divine Monarch will be present, so if anyone neglects the Divine Monarch, don’t blame the Righteous Sect for being too merciless!” After speaking, the cultivator added.

Ye Jingcheng was eagerly looking forward; the Earth Immortal Realm was finally about to open!

...

Eastern Domain, Penglai Immortal Island.

Similarly, over three hundred cultivators gathered.

Among them were thirty-one Nascent Souls.

Leading them was True Monarch Tai Peng, looking at everyone and speaking:

”Fellow Daoists, the Spiritual Energy of the Earth Immortal Realm this time is richer than ever before, and remarkable Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects may emerge!”

”To clarify, for anything beneficial to Divinity Transformation cultivators, the sect promises to support their breakthrough to Nascent Soul!”

”Any Tier Five or above Elixirs, if sufficiently valuable, can also be exchanged for Nascent Soul Pills.” After finishing, True Monarch Tai Peng didn’t speak further, just closed his eyes in place.

Evidently, all were waiting for the Spiritual Aura of the Earth Immortal Platform to activate.

...

Desert Sea, Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, Ye Xuefan, Ye Xuecang, and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor along with Peach Wood appeared outside the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Originally, the Ye Family intended for Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang to have Spirit Guides alone.

However, due to the significance of this matter, having the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor equipped with a Spirit Guide was more convenient.

Furthermore, they had already heard that the Demon Race would also send members into the Earth Immortal Realm.

Naturally, they need not worry about the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor revealing itself poorly.

Of course, unless encountering the Gold Core and Nascent Soul from the Yan Kingdom, other sect cultivators might not recognize the current Earth Dragon Demon Emperor even if heard about it.

After all, it is now a true Earth Flood Dragon, with highly potent bloodline.

”Peach Wood, take another look!” Ye Xuecang also spoke.

Upon hearing this, Peach Wood began extending its Peach Wood Branch, probing the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

They were unaware of the exact timing for the Earth Immortal Platform; thus, the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land Array consumes heavily, making it impossible to keep Peach Wood ever activated.

Only every few hours, they would let Peach Wood explore and check inside.
