Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

As the morning sun slowly rises in the east, the rays of light illuminate the entire Spirit Mountain.

The peach blossoms and leaves, covered in dew, instantly shimmer.

On the mountain peak, the dull sound of the bell begins to echo, dong dong dong.

All the cultivators emerge from their pavilions and look toward Medicine King Mountain.

On the peak of the mountain, the Spiritual Radiance is even more prominent, and there is a Spirit Shadow of a medicinal lotus, appearing as if a lotus is gradually blossoming.

On either side of the medicinal lotus, exotic beasts are fluttering, Buddhist scrolls are standing tall, and several cultivator figures are standing by its side.

Today is the Taoist Teaching Day for Medicine King Valley.

”Fellow Daoists, compatriots, and Upper Envoys of the Immortal Sect, today’s teaching begins, I hope you will enter the venue and take your seats.” Following the resounding voice, the speaker is none other than True Monarch Bailian.

”No wonder he’s the renowned True Monarch Bailian from seven hundred years ago, who broke through from the Early Stage of Nascent Soul to the Late Stage in just over six hundred years!” Ye Xuecang felt the cultivation of the cultivator and could not help but murmur in admiration.

The aura of True Monarch Bailian is not concealed, and the Nascent Soul cultivators beside him similarly do not hide their own cultivation.

There are five Nascent Souls, and it should be noted that he heard that Medicine King Valley has fallen several Nascent Souls in the Earth Immortal Realm.

This clearly indicates the deep foundation Medicine King Valley has accumulated over millennia.

Everyone walks out from the Peach Blossom Forest, and begins to ascend the mountain.

The venue for this teaching is on Medicine King Mountain’s mid-level.

However, this time, no one dares to fly up there, not even the Nascent Soul cultivators, all climb on foot.

Upon reaching the mid-level, they see an incredibly vast and square plaza, with a gigantic platform ten zhang wide and three zhang tall.

Unlike a celebration, which would have cheers, gifts, banquets, etc., this teaching is purely for lecturing, and the congratulatory gifts have already been delivered before entering Medicine King Valley’s mountain gate.

Of course, even without sending a gift, one can still ascend the mountain.

After all, such teachings in the Cultivation Realm are seen as accumulating blessings and gathering merit, Medicine King Valley will not refuse, but it will leave a poor impression.

The gift from the Ye Family is a three-thousand-year-old Tier Four Spirit Medicine, not overly precious, but certainly respectable.

Of course, besides pure teaching, it concludes with Dao competitions, exchanges, and even the grand opening of the sect to recruit disciples.

This resemblance to the lecture after a Golden Core ceremony or a Nascent Soul ceremony is evident.

After all, among the cultivators attending the teachings, many are Loose Cultivators.

Moreover, differing insights on the teaching content sometimes lead to competitions or demonstrations, enabling greater mastery.

At length, the plaza gathers a total of thirty thousand people.

Among these thirty thousand, there are countless Loose Cultivators, and many cultivators from various countries and sects.

Among them, there are over forty Nascent Soul cultivators, nearly two hundred Golden Core cultivators, and countless Purple Mansions.

Of course, don’t feel the number of High-Tier cultivators is exaggerated, know that it is the gathering of Nascent Soul sects and Golden Core and Purple Mansion influences from the entire Eastern Domain.

Practitioners of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, many of whom are cultivators from countries such as Zhao, Yan, Jin, and Wei within the Cultivation Realm.

”If the teaching time were delayed a bit more, even more cultivators might be present!” Ye Jing Hu gazed at such a grand scene, deeply moved.

The notice for Medicine King Valley’s teaching was only given more than half a year ago, many Foundation Establishment Purple Mansions couldn’t reach in time.

”I don’t know when the cultivators of Penglai Immortal Sect will appear.” Unlike Ye Jing Hu’s observational targets, at this moment Ye Jingyu is focused solely on the cultivators of Penglai Immortal Sect.

He wants to know whether this time Penglai’s Divinity Transformation will appear.

If Tian De Divine Monarch were to appear, surely Golden Light Temple’s Divine Monk would also present, only then could the future direction of the Eastern Domain for the next century be truly decided.

Whether the Ye Family can continue to develop in the Eastern Domain is contingent on these two individuals.

”Those two pavilions that are the same height as the Preaching Platform should be prepared for Penglai Immortal Sect and the high monks of Golden Light Temple.” Ye Xuecang also glanced at the two pavilions, centered but currently vacant in the far distance.

Both of these pavilions are extraordinarily lavishly crafted, with pillars made of Tier Four Spirit Wood Red-striped Golden Nan Wood, adorned with furnishings of White Jade Pine Desk, and even placed with many Spirit Fruits.

Even though it is a sermon, there is still considerable distinction amongst the listeners below.

Nascent Soul powers are provided with two-zhang-high pavilions, Golden Core influences have one-zhang-high pavilions, as for Purple Mansion and below, there’s no distinction, all situated on the plaza flat ground, with only slight differences in chair material and location.

Thus, the disparity of sect powers is visibly discernible.

”Second Granduncle, Grandfather, Cyan River Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect’s cultivators are frequently observing us.”

Unlike the targeting Medicine King Valley had for Cyan River Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect at Guest Welcoming Palace, in front of the Preaching Platform, under public scrutiny, Medicine King Valley treats Cyan River Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect according to Nascent Soul power specifications.

Thus, Ye Jingyu can sense it in one glance.

”Be cautious.” Ye Xuecang also noticed the gaze of several individuals, seemingly somewhat unusual, especially the expression of Qingfeng Ascendant.

They have heard of Qingfeng Ascendant, who is not favorably reputed within Cyan River Sect, reportedly stubborn and arrogant, with nothing noteworthy except a decent Sword Dao talent, and an ancestor who established meritorious service for Cyan River Sect.

Under Ye Jingyu’s observation, Qingfeng Ascendant’s gaze not only unobstructed but frequently glanced toward Haoyang Daoist Temple, Celestial Water Sect, and other coastal sects.

He seems to be secretly contacting several sects.

Moreover, these sects have all suffered significant losses within the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

The Ye Family currently has no Nascent Soul cultivators, naturally, lacks the ability for Telepathy through Seizing Divine Sense.

Ye Xuecang could only remind the cultivators to be careful.

While some hesitated, several Nascent Soul cultivators had already landed in front of the platform.

They were the cultivators who had landed beside the Spiritual Lotus in the sky.

Leading them were True Monarch Bailian and other Nascent Soul members of Medicine King Valley, along with a high monk in a golden robe.

Ye Xuecang and others naturally did not recognize this high monk, and almost no cultivator from the Eastern Domain did either.

The high monk in the golden robe leapt from the front of the stage, landing silently on one of the only two high platforms, waiting quietly.

The start time for the lecture was at the time of Si (9-11 a.m.).

As the time approached, no one had yet arrived at the remaining pavilion.

On the stage, the other Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t help but look at True Monarch Bailian.

In the past, they would naturally wait for someone from Penglai, even if they were late, they would still wait.

”No more waiting, let’s start the lecture now!” True Monarch Bailian shook his head, then spoke loudly.

”Fellow Daoists, I am Bailian, currently the Second Elder of Medicine King Valley. I will preside over today’s lecture!”

”The destiny of immortality is fated for those destined, and the grand path is the great path for all in the world...”

”I believe everyone is curious as to why we called this grand assembly today?”

”To be honest, my senior brother, True Monarch Bai Yao, has been fortunate enough to acquire a Tier Six Divinity Transformation Treasure Medicine and is now in seclusion, striving to break through to the realm of the Divine Monarch of Divinity Transformation. This is the immortal destiny of Medicine King Valley, and indeed the immortal destiny of the Eastern Domain Countries. Hence, this lecture is to earn merit for my senior brother!”

”Moreover, we’ve also invited esteemed speakers from the Western Domain Sect of the Great Yu Realm, the Divinity Transformation Immortal Sect, and the Golden Light Temple Immortal Sect of Penglai, to share with you. May everyone’s path be smooth...”

With True Monarch Bailian’s passionate explanation, Medicine King Valley had already reached the pinnacle of moral high ground.

At this moment, a spiritual light finally appeared.

Under the spiritual light, the figure of True Monarch Tai Peng appeared, accompanied by his disciple, who used to be a disciple of the Purple Mansion but had now broken through to the peak of the Golden Core.

Both landed in the remaining Tier Four Spirit Wood Pavilion.

”True Monarch Bai Yao is about to break through. Why not inform the sect? The sect could grant a Tier Six Spiritual Vein and Tier Six Spiritual Medicine, avoiding breaking through at Medicine King Mountain!” True Monarch Tai Peng casually said.

Yet anyone could hear the anger simmering in True Monarch Tai Peng’s heart.

Their lateness was evidently deliberate.

Not waiting for True Monarch Bailian to respond, True Monarch Tai Peng turned to another:

”Monk Jinling, coming under Eastern Domain Penglai’s rule without telling me. Do you think we in Penglai are inhospitable?” True Monarch Tai Peng’s words immediately gave everyone the impression of cutting sharpness.

Even the cultivators of Medicine King Valley, who had anticipated and prepared themselves, were still intimidated by True Monarch Tai Peng’s aura.

Not to mention the other cultivators in the lecture venue.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Jingyu’s expressions changed dramatically as well.

”Tai Peng Daoist, of course, is hospitable, but since some disciples of True Monarch Bai Yao from Medicine King Valley are fated with our Buddhist Sect and have joined our Golden Light Temple, can I not come and take a look?”

”The disciples invited me to the sect’s lecture, shouldn’t I attend?”

”Of course, if Tai Peng Daoist still feels it’s inappropriate, you can always ask Master Gu Meng.” Monk Jinling replied directly.

There was no lack of momentum in his words.

Furthermore, Tai Peng Daoist couldn’t find any loopholes in this argument.

The Eastern Domain indeed falls under Penglai’s rule, but these affiliated sects are only affiliated, and naturally, they are free to join other sects.

As long as the Golden Light Temple doesn’t occupy the Eastern Domain’s territory, it is completely reasonable for them to protect their disciples.

True Monarch Tai Peng’s face darkened upon hearing this. He scanned the surrounding Spirit Mountains, as if trying to discern whether True Monarch Bai Yao was breaking through here and if the Divine Monk Gu Meng of Golden Light Temple was present.

He knew clearly in his heart that Golden Light Temple’s actions were merely to protect Medicine King Valley for a century, to give True Monarch Bai Yao time to break through.

Once True Monarch Bai Yao breakthroughs, then the Medicine King Valley becomes an Immortal Sect, and with Golden Light Temple’s support, they might truly be able to carve out territory from Penglai Sect in the Eastern Domain.

After all, they are native forces of the Eastern Domain and have a legitimate bid for the governance of the Eastern Domain.

This is naturally not something True Monarch Tai Peng would like to see, but at this moment, he had no choice.

To eliminate this hidden risk, he first needs to find True Monarch Bai Yao. At this point, it’s impossible to even use Medicine King Valley to force True Monarch Bai Yao to appear.

Unless they truly forced Medicine King Valley to extinction here and clashed with Golden Light Temple, then attacked the Western Domain, pressuring Golden Light Temple to hand over True Monarch Bai Yao.

But the key is, Penglai at this moment, indeed has its own unspoken difficulties...

”This session is a lecture, Tai Peng Daoist, please don’t miss the timing, or else Uncle Master might get unhappy.” True Monarch Jinling continued.

True Monarch Tai Peng did not reply further but instead looked into the void, seemingly arriving at an answer, then sat down before the pavilion.

Yet did not respond.

Upon seeing this, True Monarch Bailian in the distance let out a sigh of relief and continued to speak.

What he feared was that Penglai Sect, regardless of consequences, would opt to destroy them all. In the Eastern Domain, even with Golden Light Temple’s assistance, if Penglai went berserk, it wouldn’t leave many survivors, let alone allow them to proceed with their plans as envisioned.

”Everyone, to welcome our Daoist friends from the two Immortal Sects, our valley has specially prepared Cyan Jade Spirit Dew to share with all of you!”
