Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Eastern Domain, Lingyun Peak, Lingyun Lake.

Spring breeze stirs the willows, gentle waves ripple.

Like emeralds, the crystal-clear lotus leaves lay flat on the lake surface, with a few lotus buds subtly opening, appearing extraordinarily serene and beautiful.

And at this moment, countless spiritual energy headed towards the lake, transforming into aglow spiritual light, persisting for a long time.

Drawing countless spirit fish to swim around fiercely.

As large ripples spread, two flood dragons were startled, one blue and one white, leaping out of the water with joyful glints in their eyes, gently roaring.

Moments later, spiritual light dissipated, and an aura spread.

On the lake surface, quickly appeared a cultivator’s silhouette, with a jade-like complexion, wearing a white Daoist robe, though not luxurious, still clean and refreshing.

Indeed, it was Ye Jingyu who had secluded himself for a breakthrough.

”Have you two been lazy these days?” Ye Jingyu glanced at the two flood dragons and couldn’t help but smile heartily.

After years of seclusion, he finally broke through from the late stage of Purple Mansion to Purple Mansion Peak, only short of entering the mortal world for some trials, preparing for the breakthrough to Golden Core.

Ye Jingyu was quite concerned about whether he could become the fifth Golden Core of the Ye Family; after all, he had two flood dragon spirit beasts more than Ye Haige and felt he deserved to surpass him.

”Roar!” The two flood dragons shook their heads repeatedly to indicate they weren’t lazy, but when looking at each other, they nodded repeatedly.

As if both were indicating the other had been lazy.

Seeing this, Ye Jingyu couldn’t help but laugh, understanding the mind of the two flood dragons well.

Moreover, both flood dragons were now at Tier Three Peak and might even break through to Tier Four before him.

Ye Jingyu flicked out two spirit pills, swallowed steadily by the flood dragons.

After swallowing the spirit pills, the Blue Jade Flood Dragon approached Ye Jingyu, its blue eyes gleaming with pride, and spat out four drops of crystalline spirit water.

This spirit water hovered in the air, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.

It was precisely the Blue Yuan Heavy Water condensed by the Blue Jade Flood Dragon.

Seeing this, Ye Jingyu was overjoyed and took out a jade bottle to collect all four drops of heavy water.

Then he handed another spirit pill to the Blue Jade Flood Dragon.

The Blue Jade Flood Dragon let out a low roar as if competing with the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

Though the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was eager, it could not condense heavy water, only roaring to state its higher combat power.

Seeing this, Ye Jingyu waved his hand again and similarly offered a spirit pill to the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

Both flood dragons as guardians have accomplished their duties and deserve rewards.

While Ye Jingyu was rewarding the two flood dragons, he also noticed Ye Jingli, Ye Xingshui, and Ye Jingyun appearing beside Lingyun Lake.

Evidently, the breakthrough caused quite a disturbance, and they had already noticed.

”Congratulations, Jingyu!”

”Congratulations, Fourth Brother!”

...

The clansmen all offered their congratulations.

Ye Jingyu also responded with cupped hands.

Upon seeing Ye Jingyun, Ye Jingyu couldn’t help but speak:

”Old Jiu, you should go into seclusion, it’s been hard on you all these years!” Ye Jingyu looked at Ye Jingyun, still at Foundation Establishment Peak, and felt slightly sympathetic.

He knew Ye Jingyun could have gone into seclusion long ago, but due to the lack of family oversight, he kept postponing.

Now that he had made his breakthrough, the family’s patriarch and Ye Jingcheng were returning soon, naturally no need for Ye Jingyun to watch over here!

Ye Jingyun could safely go into seclusion.

The entire Lingyun Peak, even the Celestial Protection Commandery, Ye Jingyu could oversee well.

”Alright!” Ye Jingyun nodded and planned to enter seclusion immediately.

He was getting older, having failed once before, so this is considered his final attempt.

If he failed this time, even if the family gave him another portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, considering his long dedication, he wouldn’t accept it.

And just as Ye Jingyu wanted to say a few words to Ye Jingli and Ye Xingshui, he suddenly looked up.

”Elder He Fang, coming to my Ye Family?” Ye Jingyu’s figure was at that moment mimicking Ye Jingcheng, so there was no need for further disguise.

He directly flew out.

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingshui were both stunned; although both were at Purple Mansion, they didn’t sense anyone.

Ye Jingyu hovered in the sky for a moment before flying out of the Spirit Mountain Array.

He sensed the visitor was a cultivator above Golden Core, and currently, Lingyun Peak had no Golden Core combat power.

So even without knowing who the visitor was, Ye Jingyu had to go out.

He felt the person might have some good intentions.

Otherwise, even though he was at Purple Mansion Peak and his divine sense was close to Golden Core, he wouldn’t have detected the other’s presence.

After flying over two or three mountains, he landed on a desolate mountain.

Ye Jingyu hesitated; this mountain wasn’t another Spirit Mountain but a barren mountain where Sikong Ziming and True Monarch Tian Dao had repeatedly summoned Ye Jingcheng.

The sole benefit of this peak was its seclusion.

Ye Jingyu walked up the peak.

The peak was also covered by arrays, with a woman standing within.

The woman wore cyan gauze and a bright red dress, appearing especially ethereal.

”Elder Linghong!” Ye Jingyu repeatedly cupped his hands.

This visitor was none other than Fairy Linghong from Taiyi Sect, also the wife of Sikong Ziming, True Monarch Linghong.

”Can you make decisions for the Ye Family?” Fairy Linghong glanced at Ye Jingyu, seemingly seeing through Ye Jingyu’s Bone Transformation Pill disguise, and spoke directly.

These words left Ye Jingyu a bit stunned, unable to answer immediately.

”There’s no need to disguise anymore. Since your Ye Family can collaborate with Sikong Ziming, naturally there is Nascent Soul combat power. I won’t waste time talking; Sikong Ziming and Sikong Zitian have perished, and many Golden Cores from Taiyi Sect couldn’t return from Penglai Demon Sect. You should know what this means!”

”This Penglai Demon Sect defies the heavens by stealing others’ paths, Medicine King Valley has invited the Saint Monk of Jinguang Temple, one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, to preach there. If your Ye Family wants any chance, remember to perform well at Medicine King Valley. Given your deep-seated enmity with Penglai Demon Sect, there’s no room for reconciliation!”

”Before, Penglai Demon Sect didn’t act against you, firstly fearing the Fox Saint, secondly due to another Divinity Transformation from Penglai Demon Sect has yet to return. But with the conclusion of the Earth Immortal Realm, Tian De Divine Monarch will certainly appear!” Fairy Linghong didn’t care if Ye Jingyu understood.

She detailed many particulars, stirring waves within Ye Jingyu.

Yet he maintained a facade of composure.

”What Elder Linghong said was not entirely clear to me; I might need to consult the family elders!” Ye Jingyu spoke.

”Be sure to contact them early; if Demon Sect’s people come and you haven’t aligned yourselves, you’ll be cannon fodder!” Fairy Linghong continued.

Her words bore no concealment, evidently believing if the Demon Sect appeared and there was no movement, the Ye Family would be considered aligned with the Demon Sect in her eyes.

This left Ye Jingyu feeling troubled.

He initially thought the Earth Immortal Realm’s conclusion was just the Yan Kingdom determining victory and defeat.

But now it seems drastic changes will occur across the Eastern Domain!

Unless the Ye Family withdraws entirely into the Central Domain and Desert Sea, they cannot extricate themselves!
