Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Compared to the Southern Wilderness Province, the Nanman Province is slightly warmer. Even though it is the dead of winter, the sky remains brilliantly sunny, and the grass, trees, and mountains maintain their lush greenness.

The border between Hezhong Mansion and Demon Pass Mansion is a chasm called Demon Cloud Abyss.

It is said to be bottomless, and when a cultivator stands above it, an intense cold seeps into their bones.

The informant arranged by the Ye Family had also stopped at the front of this Demon Cloud Abyss.

At this moment, a cultivator is concealed in the shadows before a Spirit Mountain, quietly contemplating while watching Demon Cloud Abyss.

This person is none other than Ye Jingcheng, who has traveled from afar.

Currently, he is wearing the Celestial Illusion Robe, and his body is shrouded in a Divine Sense Ban Array, capable of isolating a cultivator’s Divine Sense.

Of course, if there were any cultivators with Golden Core or above by the Demon Cloud Abyss, Ye Jingcheng would be more cautious. Knowing there were only Purple Mansion cultivators, Ye Jingcheng was less worried.

With his current Divine Sense, even a typical Middle-Stage Golden Core might not detect him.

After observing with his Divine Sense for a while, Ye Jingcheng found an opportune moment and stealthily drifted toward the other side of Demon Cloud Abyss.

Before long, he crossed over the Demon Cloud Abyss and truly entered Hezhong Mansion.

Compared to other state mansions, Hezhong Mansion is peculiarly divided into over ten commanderies.

Master Silver Spear is hiding within the Purple He Commandery of Hezhong Mansion, which is considered the most chaotic commandery in Hezhong Mansion. There is no Golden Core influence in this commandery, only over ten Purple Mansion Influences guarding together.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Blood Spear Sect also established a Purple Mansion Sub-Sect here.

Ye Jingcheng’s movements were not swift. He wasn’t flying continuously but was landing at intervals to place Shadow Wood Puppets. Only after placement did he continue to fly.

After all, he was in the territory of the Profound Celestial Demon Sect, a sect as revered as the Penglai Demon Sect. Despite having the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and a group of Spirit Beasts in the Grotto Heaven, Ye Jingcheng had to proceed with utmost caution.

Even if the Shadow Wood Puppets might get discovered later, as long as no Nascent Soul cultivators ambushed him, they served their purpose.

While Ye Jingcheng was laying these out, the Jade Ring Rat settled on his shoulder, attentively listening to the nuances in the surroundings.

And just like that, by the next day, Ye Jingcheng reached the Purple He Commandery.

The Purple He Commandery is considered one of the more prosperous commanderies Ye Jingcheng had seen in the Southern Wilderness Province. There are many sects here, and they aren’t far apart from each other.

Moreover, within the nearby Purple He Market, there is a Tier Four Shop of the Celestial Demon Sect, making it easy to seek aid.

”A smart choice, indeed. It’s hard to silence anyone here without causing a commotion!” Ye Jingcheng observed for a while, comprehending Master Silver Spear’s intent.

But that was the Ye Jingcheng of before; the Ye Jingcheng of today is incomparable to ten years ago.

Finally, Ye Jingcheng landed in front of a Spirit Mountain resembling a bull’s head.

His appearance had transformed into that of a core disciple of the Blood Spear Sect.

On the surface, he was just a core disciple, but in reality, this disciple was a descendant of Master Silver Spear.

With the aid of the Dream-Devouring Worm’s Dream-Devouring Soul-Searching, Ye Jingcheng saw through the secrets within, enabling him to disguise himself seamlessly.

He even Dream-Devoured and Soul-Searched a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to ensure there were no hidden dangers on Purple Ox Mountain before following a Purple Mansion Cultivator to a lake.

The lake’s water was a light purple, shimmering with a bewitching glow, and the Secret Realm was indeed located within.

”Junior Brother Luo, Master is secluding within this Secret Realm. Didn’t you say you acquired a treasure? What treasure are you presenting?”

”Senior Brother Peng, I naturally have a treasure!” Ye Jingcheng took out a scroll and slowly unfurled it for a look.

As Ye Jingcheng knew not only the secrets of the Blood Spear Sect but also the passcodes prepared by the Blood Spear Sect, the other party had no suspicions. However, the scroll Ye Jingcheng unfurled was the Scroll Treasure given by Xu Huai True Monarch.

Once the scroll was unfurled, the latter immediately fell into an illusion.

Ye Jingcheng then brought him into the Grotto Heaven, decisively slaying him. Meanwhile, Ye Xuefan appeared beside him, although now Ye Xuefan distinctly assumed the appearance of Senior Brother Peng.

He would relay many messages in the same tone as the former.

He also took out an Array Disc, covering the entire Spirit Lake.

Ensuring that Master Silver Spear couldn’t escape even with wings.

Having done this, Ye Jingcheng then flew in, heading toward the inside of the Secret Realm.

Within the Secret Realm, an array prominently blocked the entrance, and the strength of this array was notably high. Ye Jingcheng estimated it to be at least a Tier Four Top-Grade Array.

But to Ye Jingcheng, the array was negligible. A Tier Five Array, for Peach Wood, would be easy to traverse, let alone a mere Tier Four Top-Grade Array.

As Peach Wood was released by Ye Jingcheng, both Ye Jingcheng and Peach Wood passed through the barrier, entering the Secret Realm.

The Spiritual Energy in the Secret Realm was not lacking. Clearly, this Secret Realm was a Tier Five Secret Realm, potent enough to support breaking through.

However, upon entering, Ye Jingcheng was met with a scene that filled him with fury: a massive, blood-colored lake appeared before him, filled with fresh blood — not only beast blood but human blood as well.

Above the Blood Lake, there’s an altar, on top of which a black and white pair of Yin Yang Demon Corpses are absorbing the fresh blood of the Blood Lake while exhaling Yin and Yang Qi towards Master Silver Spear.

As for Master Silver Spear, his entire body is covered in Blood Patterns at this moment, looking ferocious. When he sees Ye Jingcheng enter, he fiercely coughs up a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a backlash from forcibly waking up from his breakthrough.

As soon as he sees Ye Jingcheng, his figure begins to become illusory, and his two Demon Corpses rush towards Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng releases the Red Flame Fox and the Golden Scale Beast, while simultaneously activating the Tier Five Treasure Yin Yang Array Disc Bead.

As the Array Disc Bead envelops Master Silver Spear, it also shrouds the opponent within the array.

Master Silver Spear’s figure once again displays a skin shadow similar to a golden cicada’s husk.

Yet in another corner of the chessboard, Master Silver Spear suddenly appears.

Clearly, the Yin Yang Array Disc Bead precisely counters the opponent’s Secret Technique.

”Impossible, how can you be a Nascent Soul Cultivator? It’s impossible to break through in just a decade!” he keeps shouting, meanwhile, nine silver spears shoot out explosively.

Compared to the Earth Immortal Realm, Master Silver Spear’s strength is evidently stronger.

But before the Yin Yang Array Disc Bead, he struggles even against these Chess Puppets.

Let alone dealing with Ye Jingcheng.

As Ye Jingcheng fires the Soul Destruction Needle, it shocks the opponent’s Divine Soul that was already suffering a backlash.

A Top-Grade Flying Sword flies out from his hand again, killing Master Silver Spear on the spot.

The Dream-Devouring Worm also flies out and begins to devour Master Silver Spear’s Divine Soul.

Meanwhile, the pair of Yin Yang Demon Corpses are pressed miserably by the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast, eventually being collected by Ye Jingcheng using the Ancient Gemstone Coffin.

Although Ye Jingcheng doesn’t like Demon Corpses, such a breakthrough-tier Yin Yang Demon Corpse is indeed very precious.

It completely equates to a Tier Four Spirit Puppet.

Plus, he can perform Soul Search to learn Master Xueqiang’s Secret Technique.

He speculates that the Blood Lake might be the Blood Spear Sect’s Secret Technique, which can aid in Nascent Soul breakthroughs.

After killing Master Silver Spear and collecting the Yin Yang Demon Corpses, Ye Jingcheng releases the Peach Wood and Celestial Treasure Rat to gather the remaining resources within the Secret Realm.

While he sits cross-legged on the spot, beginning Dream-Devouring Soul-Searching.

Soon, after a round of Dream-Devouring Soul-Searching, Ye Jingcheng knows everything.

He understands that Master Silver Spear used the secret Yin Yang Infant Refining Technique.

Utilizing Yin Yang Demon Corpses and gathering Essence Blood of thousands of cultivators.

Yin Yang Demon Fire refines the Golden Core, transforming into a Nascent Soul.

Indeed the technique has some effect on breaking through to Nascent Soul, yet in Ye Jingcheng’s view, the effect is no more than the aid of one Top-Grade Spirit Stone or one piece of Chenjing Jade.

Although it is quite significant, the risks of the Yin Yang Demon Corpse Refining Core and Nascent Soul are also great.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t use such a method.

Moreover, through Soul Search, he learns that years ago Master Silver Spear had indeed set an ambush, inviting a Nascent Soul from the Profound Celestial Demon Sect, but after six years, the Nascent Soul left.

Master Silver Spear then acted genuinely, starting to plan for the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Only unexpectedly, halfway through, Ye Jingcheng stealthily infiltrated without his awareness.

”This Demon Cultivator is truly not to be underestimated!” Ye Jingcheng remarks, heading towards a giant rock on a distant mountain.

Through Soul Search, he learns that inside the stone, there’s still half of the Soul Nourishing Wood remaining, and within the Soul Nourishing Wood, lies the remaining portion of Master Silver Spear’s small Residual Soul.

If Ye Jingcheng hadn’t succeeded in Soul Search, he might have been evaded by this small Residual Soul.

Though the Residual Soul might find possession difficult, revealing his identity and attracting pursuers would be problematic.

Ye Jingcheng directly uses Divine Sense to crush it.

”Ah!” A tragic scream is heard, and Master Silver Spear’s Divine Soul completely perishes.

Ye Jingcheng collects the giant stone along with the Soul Nourishing Wood.

Beside him, the Peach Wood and Celestial Treasure Rat have also scavenged the entire Secret Realm.

Anything above Tier Two Spirit Medicine, including seedlings, is collected by Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, the biggest gains from this journey are the Yin Yang Demon Corpses and the Yin Yang Infant Refining Technique.

Additionally, he also unexpectedly learns that Xu Huai True Monarch of the Celestial Demon Sect has his Nascent Soul undergoing possession and reincarnation, rebuilding the Nascent Soul Dao.
