Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

In the Upper Immortal Realm, above a Spirit Lake.

The shimmering lake lights, reflecting in a dazzling array of colors, were stunningly beautiful.

On the sea surface, two figures seemed somewhat confused.

The figures wore Spirit-Blocking Robes, their appearances obscured, even their features hidden beneath Spirit-Blocking Gauze.

”Senior Brother, the array in this lake must be of the Tier Five High-Grade variety!” The cultivator trailing behind couldn’t help but speak.

In his hand, there was an Eight Trigrams Spirit Disc, a replica of the Eight Trigrams Spirit Locking Disc, a Spirit Treasure.

An image on the Eight Trigrams Spirit Disc had already shattered, making him somewhat worried.

”Junior Brother, this should be the Burial Dao Lake, as Master mentioned. According to the instructions left by Master, as long as we find an array foundation here, relying on the Spirit Treasure Profound Lotus Spirit Grass, we can break the array and leave.” The figure at the front spoke as well.

After saying this, he took out a magical treasure to seek further.

Although it’s unlikely to sense Spirit Treasures here, he feared that taking out a Spirit Treasure too easily might get noticed by other Nascent Souls.

Therefore, before finding the array foundation, he wouldn’t take out that Spirit Treasure.

”Senior Brother, why haven’t we taken any treasure medicines along the way, including a five-thousand-year-old Celestial Wood He Shouwu...” The two were precisely Sikong Zitian and Sikong Ziming separated from the Golden Core cultivators of the Taiyi Sect.

Along the way, they slew three to four demon kings, including one almost breaking through to the Tier Five Peak demon king.

Yet they had not taken the Spirit Medicines, which Sikong Zitian couldn’t understand.

”What counts those Spirit Medicines when entering this secret realm, what treasures, what inheritances have we not?”

”Moreover, Junior Brother, you have also seen that True Monarch Qinghe’s Beihai is always searching for us, probably intending to eliminate us. Leaving these Spirit Medicines untaken confuses their judgment, and considering many Divinity Transformation Sects here, if they find us out, we may become their prey.” Sikong Ziming explained.

With that, they continued their search.

Finally, when they landed on a Spirit Lake, the Five-Colored Spiritual Light suddenly intensified.

Seeing this, Sikong Ziming’s eyes lit up.

He invoked a Spirit Technique, and a zafu flew from his mind, quickly enlarging into the shape of a Spiritual Ship.

”Junior Brother, follow along!” Sikong Ziming excitedly called out, stepping onto the zafu first.

Sikong Zitian couldn’t help but follow up.

As the zafu transformed into a lotus pod shape, the next moment, they disappeared from the lake surface.

...

In the Upper Immortal Realm, near group of mountains.

Four figures landed in front of a mountain, one patted a Spirit Beast Bag, and a blood-red vulture flew out.

It sniffed the ground.

But after smelling, it still looked around blankly.

”Qinghe Daoist, is this what you confidently claimed could trail him?” One figure in a black Spirit-Blocking Robe couldn’t help but reproach.

”That Sikong Ziming is too cunning, actually noticed our tracking, but Sikong Ziming and Sikong Zitian will certainly seek the Taiyi Purple Peak’s Golden Core upon returning from treasure hunting.” True Monarch Qinghe’s face was somewhat displeased.

Planning for so long resulted in losing the trail; if word got out, his reputation would suffer tremendously.

The most important thing was his idea to annihilate the Taiyi Sect’s top leadership in the Earth Immortal Realm might fail.

”There’s not much time, now we should seek the Nascent Souls of the Medicine King Valley.” Celestial Corpse True Monarch was somewhat displeased.

Hearing this, True Monarch Qinghe struggled, hesitating for a while before looking at True Monarch Beihai.

True Monarch Beihai also took out a new Spirit Disc.

Seeing the light spot on the Spirit Disc was quite close, he said:

”Celestial Corpse Daoist, it’s better to leave Sikong Ziming of the Taiyi Sect for a few days, first go kill Tian Dao the Daoist. If you can get his flesh, Daoist might be able to comprehend his sword intent!”

True Monarch Beihai’s words made True Monarch Qinghe nod repeatedly.

They aimed to dominate Yan Kingdom, killing the Tian Dao True Monarch of the Tian Dao Sect was part of that goal.

Especially in front was the Celestial Corpse Sect’s ancestor, an expert in manipulating Spirit Corpses.

Even if Tian Dao True Monarch counterattacked, daringly, Corpse Emperor could fend him off.

”Hmph, I never agreed to deal with the Tian Dao Sect.” Celestial Corpse True Monarch refused immediately.

”Celestial Corpse Daoist, if successful this time, of the Celestial Blade Four Commanderies, except the Celestial Capital Commandery, you can choose any of the remaining three commanderies, and not worry about claiming them improperly.” True Monarch Qinghe said generously.

An entire commandery, though a lot, he understood this was essential to secure Celestial Corpse Sect into Yan Kingdom, to better counter Taiyi Sect in the future.

With these words, Celestial Corpse True Monarch finally nodded in agreement.

The few changed direction and swiftly vanished into the mountains.

-----------------

In the mountains, an exceptionally fiery maple forest, surrounding Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy was abundant, casting red Spiritual Radiance on the sky.

A figure emerged from a hidden cave.

Clad in a Spirit-Blocking Robe, the figure was slim, yet its gaze was hesitant.

This was Ye Jingcheng, as he progressed, he grew more apprehensive.

Having continuously harvested three Spirit Medicines without encountering any Guardian Spirit Beast Demon Kings.

In his view, this was excessively abnormal.

What made him hesitate further was that as he approached the Heaven-Repairing Garden, he found his Beast Communication Pattern unusually warm.

He even felt like his blood was becoming noticeably hotter.

This feeling, Ye Jingcheng had never experienced before. At first, he suspected that the fire attribute spiritual energy in Maple Forest was too high. But when he released Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang, they also felt the same way, although neither of them primarily cultivated in fire attribute cultivation techniques.

Yet this feeling was not as intense as Ye Jingcheng’s.

This surprised all three members of the Ye Family, but they also hesitated.

According to Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan’s initial speculation, there might be a Great Demon Cultivator here, attracting cultivators to come, and those guardian Demon Kings should have been drawn away likewise.

However, when Ye Jingcheng released some of his Spirit Beasts, no such phenomenon occurred.

This made it clear to him that it only targeted cultivators.

”Not good!” Ye Jingcheng suddenly exclaimed while moving, and quickly started to retreat in the direction he came from.

In his perception, someone was coming with his Five Poison Bee that he had used to scout.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t know the cultivation level of the newcomer, but he didn’t believe any ordinary Golden Core cultivator in the Upper Immortal Realm would be bold enough to pursue other cultivators.

Therefore, he did not intend to confront the person.

”Daoist friend, no need to be alarmed. I am Zhang Ping from the Taiyuan Realm, with no ill intentions. I wish to invite you to explore an array and obtain a treasure medicine.”

Just as Ye Jingcheng was fleeing, he heard a transmission calling him daoist friend.

”Taiyuan Realm?” The last time Ye Jingcheng heard this name was from the mouth of the Prince Wang.

According to what the other party said, it was one of the few Great World Realms that maintained contact with the Great Yu Realm.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t expect the first encounter would be under these circumstances.

Sensing that the other’s cultivation was only at the late stage of Golden Core, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Golden Core Cultivators, he could handle some even without the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

”If Daoist friend can assist me, I have a Gold Condensing Fruit as a token of gratitude!” Ye Jingcheng had just slowed down, and another transmission came from behind.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was indeed surprised.

The Gold Condensing Fruit is uncommon, but not particularly precious.

Ye Jingcheng took out the array and waited, and soon saw a man dressed in the Palace Robe of the Great White Palace.

The man’s attire was slightly different from that of the Great Yu Realm.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, resembling a Body Cultivator, but his presence was exceptionally remarkable.

”This daoist friend, must be from the Nine Great Immortal Sects of Dayu.” Zhang Ping said.

”Why do you say that, daoist friend?” Ye Jingcheng replied with a question instead of answering.

”I am a direct disciple of the Cyan Abyss Immortal Sect of the Taiyuan Realm. I came to the Vortex Origin Upper Immortal Realm after being pursued by a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor. Seeing daoist friend’s speed is not inferior to mine, if not from the Nine Great Immortal Sects, is there someone else?” Zhang Ping clearly saw Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation level and seemed to have a probing tone in his words.

After considering for a moment, Ye Jingcheng replied, ”I am Chen Qian, recently joined the sect.”

Ye Jingcheng spoke succinctly, and Zhang Ping did not inquire further.

Instead, he pointed in the direction he came from.

”Daoist friend Chen Qian, the mountain I came from has a Spirit Mountain resembling a Black Tower. Within the mountain is a Qianyuan Spirit Fruit Wood Demon at the late stage of fourth tier. This demon is extremely cunning, when defeated by my hand, it retreated into an array.”

”If daoist friend can help me capture this demon, besides the Gold Condensing Fruit, I will also present you with a Qianyuan Spirit Fruit.”

Zhang Ping said.

This statement made Ye Jingcheng indeed surprised.

The Qianyuan Spirit Fruit is the main material for refining the Qianyuan Pill needed by late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

It is extremely rare in the outside world.

Not to mention it being a Demon King of a Wood Demon.

This type of Qianyuan Fruit probably has even better medicinal properties, no wonder the other party is willing to offer the Gold Condensing Fruit.

”Of course, please rest assured, daoist friend. Although I cannot deal with a Demon Emperor, dealing with a Demon King at the late stage of Golden Core is well within my power, such that daoist friend need not act much.” Seeing Ye Jingcheng hesitate, Zhang Ping continued to add.

”If it draws a Demon Emperor or Nascent Soul, daoist friend need not worry, feel free to leave, the treasure will still be given to daoist friend.” Saying this, Zhang Ping turned his hand and took out a Gold Condensing Fruit.

Only then did Ye Jingcheng nod.

He wanted to see this Qianyuan Spirit Fruit Wood Demon and obtain a Qianyuan Spirit Fruit.

He was currently at the late stage of Golden Core, wishing to reach the Golden Core Peak without knowing how much time it would take.

If he had this Tier Four Superior Qianyuan Fruit, refining it into Qianyuan Pill would surely shorten the time considerably.

Furthermore, the opponent is after all late-stage Golden Core, not someone from the Great Yu Realm.

If the opponent proved truly unreasonable, he wouldn’t mind releasing the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

”Alright, I agree.” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

As Ye Jingcheng nodded, Zhang Ping waved his hand, and the Gold Condensing Fruit landed in front of Ye Jingcheng.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng once again.

”Daoist friend, aren’t you afraid I will take the spirit fruit and turn away?”

”In our Cyan Abyss Immortal Sect, we fear not that kind of person,” Zhang Ping replied with a confident smile.

He performed a finger technique gesture.

Showing Ye Jingcheng that they had a special secret technique.

”Moreover, daoist friend gives me the impression of being a man of integrity.” After issuing the warning, Zhang Ping spoke politely again.
