Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Within the Secret Realm, the most magnificent place is undoubtedly the Spirit Mountain at its center.

Half of the entire Spirit Mountain lies beneath the clouds, the other half within them.

On the grand mountain gate, the characters ”Jiyuan Hall” exude a mysterious aura, making one feel even smaller upon seeing them.

Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, Ye Jingcheng, and others also have great expectations for this Spirit Mountain.

After all, the Spirit Medicine Garden outside the Spirit Mountain already possesses so much Transformation Spirit Medicine, even several Tier Five Spiritual Medicine plants.

The heritage of the Spirit Mountain is certainly not weak.

Moreover, the array of the Spirit Medicine Garden is teetering under the aftermath of the great battle; however, the array of this heritage Spirit Mountain remains unchanged, still intricately wondrous.

Ye Xuefan took out an array foundation, starting to probe the array.

But, like the array at Chess Heaven Pavilion before, it is clearly not a mortal world array. After probing for a long time, he still couldn’t find anything, causing Ye Xuefan to feel extremely helpless.

Although his understanding of arrays is not weak, after all here are Tier Five Arrays; wanting to break them, or even understand them, he is still far off.

On the side, Ye Jingcheng finally exhausted the Treasure Light and returned all the Spirit Beasts into the Grotto Heaven to recuperate inside.

He then brought Peach Wood and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to the front of the Spirit Mountain as well.

Without needing Ye Jingcheng’s reminder, Peach Wood actively flew into the void, transforming into an ancient tree towering to the sky, with countless roots extending.

After soaking up for half an hour, the array finally broke open with a bang.

”Master, the array above is too complex!” Peach Wood spoke despite having broken through, incapable of holding back.

This statement also caused Ye Jingcheng and others to furrow their brows slightly.

Fortunately, the Shadow Wood Puppet left on the outside has not encountered any issues, indicating that there won’t be any cultivators coming to this Secret Realm for the time being.

They also need not be too anxious.

”Let’s try with a Spirit Puppet first!” Ye Jingcheng said.

He drove a Spirit Puppet towards the inside of the mountain gate.

As soon as the Spirit Puppet reached in front of the mountain gate, its pace began to slow down; Ye Jingcheng furrowed his brows, as this mountain gate seemed similar to the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array, making the puppet’s actions gradually laborious.

But soon after, Ye Jingcheng felt the Spirit Puppet lost connection.

Just when Ye Jingcheng thought there might be danger, the Spirit Puppet unexpectedly appeared behind him.

”Transported out!” Ye Jingcheng felt even more surprised at this moment and found that when he directed the Spirit Puppet towards the mountain peak, it was blocked in front of the Spirit Mountain.

Another hidden array appeared, isolating the Spirit Puppet.

”Fourth Uncle, Dragon Ancestor, it seems each person can only attempt the Spirit Mountain once!” Ye Jingcheng thought for a while and spoke.

In front of the mountain gate, there seems to be a test array.

If one passes, they can seek treasures on the mountain; if not, they fall to the bottom and miss the Treasure Mountain.

”Let me try first!” Ye Xuefan also proposed.

Ye Jingcheng did not refuse.

At this moment, Ye Xuefan is in the best condition. With him testing, Ye Jingcheng felt at ease, and there should be no danger on the mountain.

Sikong Ziming must have come here; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bypassed the thousand-year He Shouwu halfway through for this Secret Realm.

Moreover, if there were still dangers, Sikong Ziming and Sikong Zitian wouldn’t have started fighting for treasures without having acquired them.

”The array test is actually on the understanding of arrays, I seem to see Chess Array again!” Upon approaching the mountain gate of Jiyuan Hall, Ye Xuefan transmitted.

Just after transmitting this, Ye Jingcheng could no longer receive Ye Xuefan’s transmission.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuefan stood below the mountain gate of Jiyuan Hall.

The Star Illusion Eye flowed within Ye Jingcheng’s eyes, while beside him, the Jade Ring Rat listened intently.

Even so, Ye Jingcheng did not discover any opportunity to exploit in Jiyuan Hall.

He glanced at Peach Wood, which extended a few Peach Wood roots, probing several times in front of the mountain gate, yet still failed to stir any waves.

Peach Wood also transmitted.

”Master, the array foundation of this test is seemingly not near the mountain gate, and with several array foundations at the periphery, it’s impossible to discern which one belongs to the test array.” This was Peach Wood’s first moment of feeling powerless towards the arrays.

From this, Ye Jingcheng understood that Peach Wood is not omnipotent in array breaking, particularly when dealing with arrays whose foundations are not at the periphery, it struggles the most.

Ye Jingcheng felt not dejected but even more expectant.

After all, only such arrayed mountain gates indicate that there are certainly numerous treasures up the mountain.

...

On the other side, Ye Xuefan looked at the array surrounding him, as countless chess pieces came towards him.

”So it’s an Illusion Array; but this Chess Path, I’ve suffered once before, how would I be fooled again?” Ye Xuefan muttered.

He waved his hand, tossing several chess array Profound Stones, transforming into Chess Puppets surrounding him.

As the chess pieces moved repeatedly, finally, the pieces blocking him fell completely, and a spiritual light dispersed.

Everything dissipated, and Ye Xuefan beheld the mountain’s appearance; it had several palaces standing, each seemingly similar.

And his ears captured a mystical Daoist sound.

Although Ye Xuefan couldn’t understand these Daoist sounds, he felt his injuries and state gradually recovering under their influence, causing his heart to be greatly shaken.

He proceeded towards the palaces on the mountain.

Soon, he arrived in front of a palace, born magnificent, seemingly identical across the vast mountain range without significant disparities.

The palace door was tightly closed, obscuring the treasures inside; Ye Xuefan hesitantly attempted to push it open.

The palace gate is not heavy, nor difficult to push.

Once a crack is revealed, one can see inside, resembling an ancestral hall with plaques, but the plaques have no specific names, only the two characters ”Jiyuan.”

On the Eight Immortals Table, there are three Jade Boxes and a Jade Talisman placed.

Their faces show joyful excitement.

What makes him hesitate is that after climbing the mountain, there are no more Arrays, which seems too smooth.

Of course, despite his hesitation, Ye Xuefan still utilizes Spirit Puppets to approach and open these Jade Boxes.

Inside the Jade Boxes are a Tier Four Top-Grade Cyan Silver Treasure Crystal, a Tier Four Top-Grade Celestial Thunder Profound Lotus, and a Tier Four High-Grade Treasure, a Cyan Light Fan.

The first two are rare Treasure Materials in the outside Cultivation Realm; Treasure Crystal can refine top-tier Flying Swords, and the Profound Lotus is a treasure for Thunder Attribute Cultivators, helping late-stage Golden Core Cultivators break through to Golden Core Peak.

The Magical Treasure needs no further explanation; it’s a high-quality Magical Treasure, which Ye Xuefan especially likes.

The Jade Talisman contains an Earth Tier Technique, the Cyan Lotus Profound Manual.

Ye Xuefan doesn’t put away the treasures but prepares Spirit Puppets to go outside the palace.

Once the Spirit Puppets exit the palace, a Spiritual Light shines and disappears in front of the palace.

”Indeed, once inside this palace, it’s impossible to go out again.” Ye Xuefan shakes his head.

”I was indeed too cautious this time!” Ye Xuefan involuntarily shakes his head and smiles bitterly, returning to the Eight Immortals Table, where he respectfully performs a ceremony, then chooses the Cyan Lotus Profound Manual from among the techniques.

This technique is a dual cultivation method of body and spirit, when cultivated deeply, allows one to refine the natal lotus for healing, and also slash opponents from a thousand miles away with lotus petals.

Although he cannot use it himself, it can be used by Ye family members.

By the time the next three hundred years pass, Ye Family should have several Nascent Souls, and those who practice top-tier techniques can multiply their Golden Core numbers several times.

Of course, before selecting, he puts several Spirit Puppets as well.

Along with him to collect treasures.

But once the Jade Talisman is in hand, a Spiritual Light shines, and he finds himself outside the Spirit Mountain, along with the Spirit Puppets he released.

However, his hand still holds a Jade Talisman, while the Spirit Puppets at his side are empty-handed.

”Indeed, there’s no exploiting loopholes!” Ye Xuefan again shakes his head and smiles bitterly.

In the distance, Ye Xuecang is still sitting, recovering, Ye Jingcheng and the Earth Dragon are waiting at the mountain gate.

Looking at Jiyuan Mountain, Ye Xuefan feels this mountain and its heritage are even more mysterious.

He knows that if he goes to retrieve treasures from higher halls, they must be more precious.

But fortunately, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuecang still have a chance.

Moreover, the numerous Spirit Beast Demon Kings can also give it a try; there are many palaces in the mountain, and if all Golden Core battle powers of the Ye clan can take a turn, there would be twenty treasures.

Spirit Beasts of Tier Four intelligence are quite good.

”Jingcheng, there are many treasure halls in this mountain, but you can only take one, so you must choose carefully...” Ye Xuefan at this moment also cannot approach Jiyuan Mountain, so he can only remind Ye Jingcheng from afar.

”Also, to take treasures, you must pass the mountain gate trial!”

”Thank you, Fourth Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng hears this and nods repeatedly.

”Dragon Ancestor, I hope later you can lead the beasts to break through this secret realm.” He releases the Grotto Heaven and walks alone towards the mountain gate.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuefan is not idle either; he stimulates the Beast Communication Pattern, heading towards a tower remarkably similar to the Beast Communication Tower.

”Indeed it’s an Illusion Array, and presumably different for everyone.” As Ye Jingcheng stepped towards the mountain gate, he felt a pressure bearing down on him, somewhat similar to the gravity of the Golden Scale Beast, yet different in a way he cannot describe.

As he looked at the mountain gate again, where there was once a gate, now there’s only an arena.

In front of the arena, a black-faced man practicing dual cultivation of body and spirit is waiting for him.

Looking closely at the facial features, this man actually somewhat resembles Ye Jingcheng.

Moreover, the opponent shows the late-stage Golden Core aura and practices Five Elements Technique.

”The technique’s aura is somewhat similar to mine, a challenge against myself?” Ye Jingcheng is greatly surprised.

Yet despite his astonishment, he still unleashes the Five Elements Divine Thunder towards the black-faced man.

But the opponent also casts the Five Elements Divine Thunder, with both Divine Thunders bursting forth and transforming into huge thunder clouds in the sky, remaining unresolved for a long time.

For a while, neither can overpower the other.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also showcases various Five Elements Divine Thunder and Five Spirits Secret Technique.

Engaging in a fierce confrontation with the black-faced cultivator.

”True Essence is not as thick as mine, nor as strong in recovery.” Ye Jingcheng sums up after a while of confrontation.

”If time permits, I could learn more from you!” Ye Jingcheng shakes his head, somewhat helpless; indeed, this black-faced opponent’s techniques are extremely beneficial to his cultivation.

Especially in cultivating the Five Elements Divine Thunder and Five Spirits Secret Technique.

Evidently, this Array is meant to surpass oneself.

Due to the Beast Communication Pattern, it’s easy for Ye family members to surpass themselves.

Ye Jingcheng, connecting the Beast Communication Pattern to the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, also draws in a plethora of True Essence.

And directly employs Spirit Cultivation, as layers of earth-yellow scale armor manifest on Ye Jingcheng’s body.

The opponent’s black-faced cultivator still appears as before, showing no look of surprise or fear.

This reassures Ye Jingcheng, also leading him to ponder whether the presence of the Ye Clan’s Beast Tower here is for the same reason.

After all, this trial is truly not difficult for the Ye family.

Having gained Spirit Cultivation, Ye Jingcheng soon defeats the opponent, and with the disappearing Spiritual Light, the entire view of Jiyuan Mountain reveals itself to him.
