Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Within the Secret Realm, the scorching sun emerged, revealing golden light.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor appeared before Ye Jingcheng, accompanied by numerous Spirit Beasts and the Grotto Heaven.

The array on Jiyuan Mountain restricts those who have passed through it, but those who haven’t can re-enter Jiyuan Mountain. Therefore, these Demon Kings and Demon Emperors need not worry about entering Jiyuan Mountain to retrieve treasures.

At this moment, among the Spirit Beasts, only the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was in human form; all other Spirit Beasts retained their original forms, albeit with restrained sizes.

Nonetheless, when they fell into the Secret Realm, they still occupied a considerable amount of space.

Ye Jingcheng glanced around and noticed that, aside from the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and his Spirit Beasts, there was a hint of despondency in the eyes of the other Spirit Beasts.

Each was more or less covered in injuries, with the most severe being the Golden Glowing Malachite Stone Spirit, whose body was almost entirely severed, causing its aura to drop to the Fourth Tier.

The fierce battle had been too brutal. The injuries they suffered were not easily healed, even with the combined coverage of Treasure Light and Wood Transformation Divine Light.

Adding to this, the fall of seven Demon Kings led the remaining Demon Beasts to feel forlorn, with their eyes dimmed.

Ye Jingcheng, seeing this, felt some silence and sorrow.

Although the Black Crow Demon King, Celestial Crow Ancient Tree, Soul-Devouring Insect, and Double-headed Turtle Demon King were forced to join the Ye Family, they had been dutiful over the years.

Ye Jingcheng did not speak but distributed the precious Tier Five Five-Colored Profound Water.

Upon the release of this Five-Colored Profound Water, it outperformed the Wood Transformation Divine Light, causing the Spirit Beasts to all let out a low hum.

”Black Crow, Celestial Crow Ancient Tree, and Soul-Devouring Insect, Double-headed Turtle, I know each of you has different thoughts now, but after this trip to the Earth Immortal Realm, I will improve the family’s Pill Formula. For those whose bloodlines can break through, the family will support your breakthroughs. For those lacking bloodline breakthrough opportunities, we will have members of your race perform a Soul Injection once for you!”

”From today onward, your respective Spirit Beast races will become prominent families in the Ye Family. We will establish new Black Crow Beast Valley, Ancient Tree Valley, and Insect Valley. Although the Mammoth Demon King is deceased, his race’s status will remain unchanged. The family will cultivate new Demon Kings for his race.” Ye Jingcheng didn’t care if these Demon Kings could understand or were even concerned.

This is the Ye Family’s attitude: for this battle, Ye Family naturally has issues, but they were unavoidable.

Yet it was worthwhile; it removed potential dangers to the Ye Family and brought immense gains.

Note that, beyond the family’s Beast Tower and other gains from Jiyuan Mountain, the Ye Family has already obtained one Spirit Treasure, four Tier Five Treasures, and countless Spirit Medicines.

It can even be said that with these gains, the Ye Family already has the foundation of an Immortal Sect.

The Nascent Soul Pill provides at least one more Nascent Soul possibility for the family, especially since Ye Family’s Nascent Soul Pill is larger than those acquired by Mansion Master Xiao or Prince Wang.

A large amount of Fourth and Fifth Tier Spirit Medicines can aid the Ye Family’s Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivations, with many Tier Five Advancement Pill Formula Spirit Materials awaiting them.

Just wait for over three hundred years, and the next time Ye Jingcheng retrieves the Five-Colored Nourishing Dao Lotus, the Ye Family will have a promising day for a Divinity Transformation breakthrough.

”Master, we understand this.” The Late Stage Fourth Tier Black Crow Demon King nodded.

The Demon Race’s world is far more brutal compared to the Cultivator’s world.

”These are the Spirit Medicines each of you need. Later, according to your injury recovery status, go and attempt the mountain gate!” Ye Jingcheng transmitted to the Demon Kings and Demon Emperors one by one.

”Master, what about mine?” The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was stunned.

Now it only needs to properly refine the Nascent Soul and consume the Spirit Pill refined by Ye Jingcheng, and advancing to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul is only a matter of time.

But now, learning it has Tier Five Advancement Pill Formula Spirit Medicine as well.

To purify the Flood Dragon Bloodline even further, it was naturally overjoyed.

Although the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor is Tier Five now, its bloodline is inferior to that of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, having only just transformed from Golden Lizard to Flood Dragon.

During this battle, it felt slightly aggrieved; not because it was weak, but because Sikong Ziming and True Monarch Chi Xue were far too powerful.

Sikong Ziming not only possessed impressive Daoist Skills but also excelled in Sword Dao, having cultivated a Lifebound Sword Embryo, owned three Middle-Grade Treasures exceeding the tier, and furthered the advantage with a Spirit Treasure and Tier Five Array.

A variety of Secret Techniques emerged endlessly, with True Essence nearing the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

Most Demon Beasts or High-Tier Body Cultivators relying on their flesh are somewhat afraid of High-Tier Sword Cultivators, as under High-Tier Sword Cultivators, their proud defense sometimes becomes ineffective.

”Roar!” The Golden Scale Beast roared first; it was as heavily injured, but its frequent training meant its recovery ability ranked third among the Demon Beasts.

Even now, with injuries still present, but upon learning of the Advancing Spirit Medicine, it was eager.

As the Golden Scale Beast headed toward Jiyuan Mountain, other Spirit Beasts also followed suit.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t interfere, letting them follow the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to claim treasures.

He personally headed toward the tower that looked like the family’s Beast Tower.

This Beast Tower was massive, and its position faced the Secret Realm Entrance.

Therefore, upon entering the Secret Realm, one could see this Beast Tower.

Ten beast head patterns were carved on the Beast Tower.

Ye Jingcheng could only shake his head upon seeing this.

These ten beast heads were not the ten beast shadows he saw in the Beast Communication Tower.

Evidently, this is likely an imitation artifact.

This imitation artifact, however, left Ye Jingcheng extremely puzzled, and the Tower’s numerous Spirit Patterns, distinctly Profound Tadpole Patterns, indicated that this Tower was a Spirit Treasure.

Moreover, just by observing the density of the Spirit Patterns, this Spirit Treasure’s rank surpassed that of the Blood Soul Bead and Profound Lotus Spirit Grass.

”Jingcheng, this should be a Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure, but the Treasure Communication Technique hasn’t revealed its location,” Ye Xuefan remarked as Ye Jingcheng approached, continually coming over to introduce it.

Most Spiritual Treasures, when void of True Essence, revert to a compact form.

The Spiritual Treasure before them was obviously being activated by an array.

While this could nourish the treasure, it posed a significant challenge for the Ye Family in retrieving the Beast Tower.

An activated treasure and a dormant one are entirely different matters.

If it were easy to take, True Monarch Chi Xue and Sikong Ziming would have claimed it long ago.

In the Cultivation Realm, Spiritual Treasures are typically categorized into three ranks: Lower-Grade, Middle-Grade, and Upper-Grade.

Above the Upper-Grade Spiritual Treasures are the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.

However, ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivators usually only use Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasures at most.

The Ye Family’s Blood Soul Bead and Profound Lotus Spirit Grass were just Lower-Grade Treasures. If they could seize the Beast Tower, their foundation would undoubtedly strengthen.

”Fourth Uncle, have you tried the Beast Communication Pattern?” Ye Jingcheng inquired attentively.

”I tried; there was a reaction, but nothing significant,” Ye Xuefan shook his head.

Saying this, he activated the Beast Communication Pattern, gathering it on his arm.

Ye Xuefan’s Beast Communication Pattern consisted of one five-inch and two three-inch patterns. As it manifested, the Beast Tower indeed started to glow with spiritual light.

But that was all there was to it.

Even when Ye Xuefan approached and placed his hand on the tower, he was forcefully repelled.

In the end, Ye Xuefan could only smile wryly.

He had already tried various methods.

Every attempt had the same result.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also extended his hand, revealing his five-inch and one-inch Beast Communication Patterns. Due to two instances of Soul Injection, the patterns appeared especially thick, and finally, the seven-inch pattern manifested on his arm.

The dense spiritual light made his arm shine brightly like polished black jade.

Ye Jingcheng advanced, placing his hand on the Beast Tower, further executing the Beast Communication Pattern’s spirit technique, as if treating the tower like a Spirit Beast.

Yet, a bizarre scene unfolded; the tower did not repel Ye Jingcheng.

Moreover, it suddenly began to glow with spiritual light, revealing numerous Spirit Patterns.

”The Treasure Communication Technique!” Both Ye Xuefan and Ye Jingcheng were overjoyed.

The key to a Spiritual Treasure is the Treasure Communication Technique; without it, a treasure is merely tough scrap metal to a cultivator.

However, compared to the Blood Soul Bead’s technique, the Beast Tower’s method was clearly more obscure. Ye Jingcheng merely memorized it by force.

”It seems that our family’s legacy also limits innate talent,” sighed Ye Xuefan with mixed feelings of helplessness and pride.

If there was doubt before, now it was certain that the Beast Tower was left behind by their family.

As the complete spirit technique of the Treasure Communication Technique appeared, the Beast Tower started to shrink.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy swarmed towards it chaotically.

This scene once again startled the two.

”This is...” They watched the Beast Tower become as small as a palm.

However, beneath the tower, a Spirit Egg emerged.

This egg, absorbing the surrounding spiritual light, was indeed the epicenter.

”Jingcheng, Xuefan, this is the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird!” Ye Xuecang flew over from a distance, compelled by the commotion, abandoning his intention to heal.

”Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, but Vermilion Birds aren’t oviparous...” Ye Jingcheng’s eyes showed hesitation.

”True, Vermilion Birds aren’t oviparous. This one was sealed inside an egg by the family using special means, stored within the Beast Tower,” Ye Xuecang explained, then hurriedly added.

”Jingcheng, although this Vermilion Bird is still young, it’s absorbed excessive Spiritual Energy in the Earth Immortal Realm. It’s already Fourth Tier, newly born at Fourth Tier, as expected of an upper realm Spirit Beast!” Ye Xuecang’s eyes were full of anticipation as he finished.

He glanced at the sky where the brilliant sun, emitting violet rays, seemed to reveal the existence of the Spirit Realm above.

Without hesitation, Ye Jingcheng forced out Essence Blood, sending it towards the Vermilion Bird.

Being newly born, the demon beast didn’t resist, and soon it was bound by Ye Jingcheng’s Soul Contract.

Moreover, through the Treasure Book, Ye Jingcheng saw that this Vermilion Bird could advance four more times.

Its potential surpassed even that of the Celestial Dream Butterfly and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

Crucially, the True Essence within this beast was rich; breaking through in the future would not be as arduous as for regular demon beasts.

The Vermilion Bird’s face resembled a White Ape. Newly born, it clutched its tail, still a bit bewildered, only sensing its surroundings after being bound by Ye Jingcheng’s Soul Contract.

It repeatedly pounded its chest, opening its large mouth and roaring, unleashing terrifying sound waves.
