Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Spring goes and winter comes, the drizzling rain mixed with cold Qi falls into the Grotto Heaven.

In the bamboo forest of Golden Light Bamboo, many bamboo shoots have sprouted, earlier than ordinary bamboo shoots, thanks to the abundant Spiritual Energy.

The Jade Ring Rat is in the Spirit Medicine Garden, currently loosening the Spiritual Soil with the Earthworm.

Compared to ordinary Spiritual Soil, the Tier Four Spirit Soil is unusually solid, making it extremely difficult for the Jade Ring Rat and the Earthworm, even though both are at Tier Three, to loosen it.

Moreover, since there are Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng and Supreme Gold Spiritual Object Golden Sun Ganoderma in the soil, they need to be extra careful.

This makes the progress even slower.

Just as the two were about to continue loosening, the Jade Ring Rat suddenly stood halfway up, looking around in confusion, then turned to the Earthworm, and finally looked at the Spirit Mountain where Ye Jingcheng was in seclusion.

However, the Earthworm showed no reaction at all.

Along with the Jade Ring Rat, the Red Flame Fox, the now-broken-through Golden Scale Beast, and the already Tier Four Peak Jade Qilin Flood Dragon also reacted.

With the help of the Three Elements Cyan Condensing Pill, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon took three pills and finally broke through to the Tier Four Peak four days ago.

Because of its ample foundation, the breakthrough was particularly smooth, falling asleep almost on the day of taking the Three Elements Cyan Condensing Pill, achieving breakthrough in less than half a year.

Even the Red Flame Fox, despite taking the Three Elements Cyan Condensing Pill, fell a bit short of reaching the Tier Four Peak after digesting it.

As the beasts were puzzled, the Turtle Ancestor also emerged from the lake, likewise looking towards the mountain peak.

At that moment, a figure stood up from the Primordial Demon Jade Bed on the distant Spirit Mountain, and it was Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng was beaming with joy, as after more than half a year of secluded Refinement of Bone Yin Qi and Dream-Devouring by the Dream-Devouring Worm, his Divine Soul Cultivation finally broke through to Tier Five.

His Divine Sense was released to its full extent, almost overwhelming the entire Grotto Heaven.

Unlike before, the Tier Five Divine Soul didn’t suddenly release like Spiritual Energy ripples.

This time, it was as if he broke through naturally and quietly.

He even used his vast Divine Sense to observe the surrounding and inspect these Spirit Medicines for a long time.

Even the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon didn’t notice anything wrong at first, due to his deliberate concealment, until he overly used his Divine Soul and hadn’t completely consolidated it, which was when the Jade Ring Rat, Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, Red Flame Fox, and other beasts detected it.

Interestingly, the most surprising to Ye Jingcheng was the Jade Ring Rat, the only one at the early stage of the third rank, that sensed his Divine Sense.

However, it might be that the Jade Ring Rat heard something unusual since its ears are now especially sensitive.

”My Divine Sense should finally cover a range of 118,000 zhang!” Ye Jingcheng calculated and found that after breaking through to Tier Five, his Divine Sense had reached 108,000 zhang.

This level of Divine Sense was already outstanding among those in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Normally, a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Sense ranges from 100,000 to 150,000 zhang.

Moreover, after reaching Nascent Soul, the Divine Sense becomes even harder to detect.

With this thought, Ye Jingcheng took out the Yin Yang Chessboard Bead.

Although it’s common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm that a Golden Core Cultivator can’t wield a Tier Five treasure, at this moment, he suddenly thought, what if he used the True Essence of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor with his own Tier Five Divine Sense to control a Tier Five treasure?

After all, the Yin Yang Chessboard Bead is a confining treasure, which doesn’t require as much control as a Tier Five Flying Sword Treasure from a cultivator.

With this in mind, Ye Jingcheng took out the Spirit Pill Treasure Light, fed them intently, and then went back into seclusion for Refinement.

Days passed quietly, until he sensed the brilliant spiritual light of the Yin Yang Bead, he input his True Essence, accompanied by black and white spiritual light, and in an instant, a chessboard world enveloped the Golden Scale Beast and other Spirit Beasts that were still competing.

Several Spirit Beasts, bewildered, growled softly, looking towards Ye Jingcheng, and saw that the chess pieces had transformed into Spirit Shadow Puppets, attacking towards them.

They didn’t know how to escape.

The Golden Falcon and the White-Browed Cyan Wolf began calling out to their master incessantly, looking especially uneasy.

The Golden Scale Beast and the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird roared twice, seemingly treating this as the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array.

As a Tier Five treasure, the Yin Yang Chessboard Bead was naturally not something the two beasts could withstand; when facing one Spirit Shadow chess puppet, they could resist, but when there were many, they immediately fell back, with one barely holding on due to the numerous Earth Qilin Palace defenses, and the other relying on the Invulnerability Divine Technique.

Soon, Ye Jingcheng withdrew the Yin Yang Chessboard Bead, his face full of delight.

For a Golden Core Cultivator to activate a Tier Five treasure is not unprecedented, but it’s still considered a grand tale, and now he had another trump card to deal with Master Silver Spear more securely.

Last time in the Earth Immortal Realm, the opponent escaped because of that mysterious secret technique akin to the cicada shedding its skin, but with this Yin Yang Array Disc Bead, the opponent’s escape would be much harder.

In addition to this joy, Ye Jingcheng also fed the Spirit Beasts with Spirit Pills and Treasure Light.

”Jingcheng, I am about to break through soon too.” When it was the Turtle Ancestor’s turn, it spoke eagerly.

Being here for over ten years, it still felt very pleasant, with Treasure Light Spirit Pills, Spiritual Rain, and occasionally even Spirit Fruit to eat.

Such a life was intoxicating to it.

However, there were also those who were unhappy; the nearby Spirit Beasts were breaking through one after another at a rapid pace.

Even though it was considered a genius turtle in the Ye Family, here it had already fallen to the bottom ranks.

It calculated and estimated that here, the only ones it could suppress were a few functional Spirit Beasts, Spirit Insects, and Wood Demons like the Jade Ring Rat and Earthworm.

”Turtle Ancestor, take these Spirit Pills!” Ye Jingcheng also took some extra Spirit Pills.

He would not be stingy with Turtle Ancestor.

When his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stage, Turtle Ancestor protected him multiple times, and it also took care of many mortals of the Ye Family, as well as their Ye Shen Valley.

At the moment, Ye Jingcheng was also curious about the Divine Stone, as his Divine Sense was now at a Nascent Soul level. If he could tame a Communication Beast, he might be able to harness True Essence of the Nascent Soul.

Perhaps he could already see some legacy or decree within the Divine Stone.

He now knew quite a bit about the origins of the Ye Family, and thus, he was even more expectant.

However, before examining the Divine Stone, Ye Jingcheng was more eagerly anticipating something else.

That was the fact that the Celestial Dream Butterfly had finally hatched.

Ye Jingcheng arrived at the spring where the Celestial Dream Butterfly was, and saw a pot-sized, four-winged colorful butterfly slowly flapping its wings.

Ye Jingcheng only felt like he was seeing a valley with chirping birds and fragrant flowers, where a hundred flowers bloomed, and various bees danced around, seemingly an earthly paradise. Beautiful female cultivators, without a stitch of clothing, were walking towards him.

He even saw Chu Yanqing, Liu Huan, Xu Xiuqing...

Ye Jingcheng quickly shook his head, and his heart spirit trembled. This was clearly the spring where he hatched the Spirit Insects; where was there any Flower Valley?

He projected his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, and the Celestial Dream Butterfly, which was only at the Late Stage of the Third Tier, had already been bound with a Blood Contract, which was then converted to a Soul Contract when it was a Spirit Egg.

Only after the Celestial Dream Butterfly retracted its Illusion Array did Ye Jingcheng finally glimpse its full appearance.

The Celestial Dream Butterfly was exceedingly beautiful, with rainbow-colored spirit patterns on its wings. Its eyes were a dark golden color, and a closer look into those eyes showed the same scene as earlier.

”No wonder it’s the Celestial Dream Butterfly.” Through the Soul Contract, Ye Jingcheng knew that the Celestial Dream Butterfly was not actively displaying its Illusion Array but did so naturally. This was its innate talent for Illusionary Arrays.

The Illusion Array at the Third Tier did have a slight impact on Ye Jingcheng, but if it broke through to the Fourth or even Fifth Tier,

its illusion skills would certainly make Ye Jingcheng highly expectant.

Of course, the greatest ability of the Celestial Dream Butterfly was reportedly to dream of past lives.

Some powerful great beings have gained their previous life’s abilities through this.

Ye Jingcheng naturally also looked forward to it, but after thinking it over carefully, he believed that the ability to dream of past lives might be just ordinary for him.

In his past life, he was just a mortal, and dreaming of it would only add to his sorrow.

After giving the Celestial Dream Butterfly some Treasure Light and feeding it some Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng exited the Grotto Heaven.

Now that all his Spiritual Treasures were in optimal condition, it was the best time. Even if he encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator in Nanman Province, Ye Jingcheng was confident he could escape.

When Ye Jingcheng landed on Sha Huang Mountain, his Divine Sense unconsciously spread out, allowing him to clearly sense the happenings within the tens of thousands of feet around Sha Huang Mountain.

He even saw several Loose Cultivators boasting and discussing everything about the Celestial Sand Sect.

Of course, among them were some who were bragging about themselves.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the valley where the Teleportation Array was placed on Sha Huang Mountain.

Within the valley, Ye Xuefan had already arrived there, accompanied by Ye Haicheng and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

This time, the Ye Family aimed not only to eradicate the remnants of the Blood Spear Sect but also the Hundred Beasts Sect.

The Blood Spear Sect could be handled alone, but when it came to the Hundred Beasts Sect, naturally, it was better for Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan to take action.

”Fourth Uncle, Granduncle!” Upon reaching the valley, Ye Jingcheng saluted and spoke.

”Jingcheng, you’ve broken through to the Golden Core Peak!” Even though Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng had speculated, they couldn’t hide the joy on their faces upon truly seeing Ye Jingcheng reach the Golden Core Peak.

After all, reaching the Golden Core Peak meant that Nascent Soul was not far away.

”A fortunate breakthrough, this time I’ll need the help of Fourth Uncle and Granduncle. The Hundred Beasts Sect has a deep grudge against our Ye Family, and we can’t let them remain. Moreover, if it goes smoothly, we might even obtain a Mutated Golden Roc hatchling!” Ye Jingcheng said.

Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan both nodded. This time, besides bringing the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, they also brought Ye Jingcheng’s Celestial Treasure Rat.

When leaving the Earth Immortal Realm earlier, Ye Jingcheng handed the Celestial Treasure Rat to the family since its abilities were best utilized in the Desert Sea and Celestial Departure Grassland.

But now that the Ye Family was heading to the Hundred Beasts Sect and the Blood Spear Sect’s territory, the Celestial Treasure Rat’s effect would undoubtedly be significant.

”Jingcheng, we agree with your viewpoint, but to be safe, instead of separate actions, we should first go to Hezhong Mansion, eliminate Master Silver Spear, and then proceed to Wangqing Prefecture!” Ye Xuefan hesitated for a moment but still spoke.
