Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Within the Secret Realm, True Monarch Black Feather’s expression was as dark as it could get.

At this moment, he had shifted from anger to surprise, and finally into fear.

His gaze was fixed intensely on the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, as the pressure he felt here came primarily from the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor. If he were in his prime, he might have had confidence in opposing a Tier Five Flood Dragon, but now, with less than thirty percent of his strength remaining, he could only potentially hold his ground by relying on an array.

Yet he had to split his focus, casting glances at other spirit beasts, occasionally looking at Ye Jingcheng, but more often, he still watched the entrance of the Secret Realm.

However, Ye Jingcheng’s arrangement was particularly deliberate. He himself stood at the entrance, with an early-stage fourth-tier Peach Wood behind him, and in front of him was a Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird unafraid of Celestial Fire, a Tier Four Peak Cold Flood Dragon with pure bloodline, a Tier Four Late-stage Five-tailed Red Fox, a Tier Four Late-stage Golden Scale Beast resembling a Qilin, and a Mid-stage Fourth Tier White-Browed Cyan Wolf...

To pass through so many Demon Kings and avoid the attacks of a Tier Five Earth Flood Dragon while facing two or three Nascent Souls directly was hardly any different.

Capturing the leader and escaping the Secret Realm were both unrealistic prospects.

”Is your Celestial Sand Sect backed by the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea or the Phoenix Saint Palace, or perhaps the Fox Saint Palace?” True Monarch Black Feather asked again, unwilling to give up.

Under his observation, the Demon Kings before him were all precious rare species of the Great Yu Realm. Any one of them could serve as a Clan Guardian Spirit Beast for a Nascent Soul sect.

Yet, gathered under the command of one individual, he had already surmised that the force behind Ye Jingcheng was not of the Human Race, but rather a Demon Race force.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng did not respond to him. Ye Jingcheng never had a penchant for enlightening the deceased.

He was also focused on breaking the array.

Although there was Peach Wood, dealing with this kind of attack array was equally troublesome. After all, while the Peach Wood’s tendrils were strong in soul absorption, its defense was weak.

It could penetrate the array foundation, but when flames spread like the Celestial Fire Tribulation, all the tendrils would turn to ash.

Therefore, the main entities breaking the array were Ye Jingcheng, Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Scale Beast.

However, the guidance of the Peach Wood roots was needed to locate the array foundation and dismantle it.

The Crimson Flame Fox let out a few low growls, activating the Celestial Fox Fire Furnace and absorbing more than half of the flames from the Tier Five Blazing Fire Heaven-Burning Array.

The entire furnace, now like an enormous flame-gathering basin, displayed five-colored flames, eerily mesmerizing.

But it could be seen that the Five-tailed Crimson Flame Fox was already struggling to control the Celestial Fox Fire Furnace.

After all, this was a Tier Five Array, and this was despite the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor withstanding most of the flames.

Otherwise, Ye Jingcheng and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s breaking of the array would not have been so effortless.

At this moment, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor not only resisted the array but also activated the Purple Extreme Sword with one claw and the Sea Measuring Stele with another.

Occasionally unleashing the Mountain Prison Divine Techniques, coupled with its massive golden tail, it pressed True Monarch Black Feather to the point where he did not dare breathe a word.

This forced him to evade continually, not daring to let the Tier Five Treasure fall onto any other Demon King.

Even though True Monarch Black Feather was influential and had the wings of the Taiyin Ancient Crow, summoning numerous Black Flame onto the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor,

with the Ancient Treasure Sea Measuring Stele present, the Black Flames could not even get close.

The pressure once given by Sikong Ziming seemed much smaller by comparison.

Moreover, over the years since the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor returned from the Earth Immortal Realm, his cultivation had progressed, with greater mastery over his divine techniques and domain.

Now, golden spiritual light, like specks of sand, began to diffuse in the surrounding void.

But do not underestimate these grains of sand—they harbored terrifying gravity, capable of transforming into dazzling sand grains. Should True Monarch Black Feather become careless, once the array was broken, these yellow sand grains would swarm him instantly.

Even with a Tier Five Array, True Monarch Black Feather’s defeat was already fated.

”Qianchen Daoist, killing me would merely be the death of one Nascent Soul, but sparing my life would give you an insider within Nanman Province. Whoever you want killed, whatever treasure you seek, I can find it for you. Even the Spirit Medicine you’ve long been searching for, I can locate for you!” True Monarch Black Feather, wielding a black banner that formed a black tentacle dragging the Purple Extreme Sword, spoke these words.

After all, the Purple Extreme Sword was not wielded by a Sword Cultivator.

”Then deactivate the array, and we shall have a proper discussion!” Ye Jingcheng did not reject, but his hands did not cease in breaking the array.

By now, half the array foundation had been dismantled, and the power of the Celestial Fire Tribulation had significantly diminished. The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s majesty grew, pressing ever forward.

True Monarch Black Feather, due to frequently activating the Taiyin Ancient Crow, began to show black lines across his body, signaling impending corporeal collapse.

Ye Jingcheng saw this and his eyes lit up, inspiring the troop of Demon Kings to continue fiercely attacking the array foundation.

The Peach Wood cast even more of its root tendrils.

Yet what astonished Ye Jingcheng was that True Monarch Black Feather had evidently concealed something, having hidden three demon corpses using the array.

These three demon corpses, all with mid-stage fourth-tier combat power,

the first of which reached for the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird.

But the Vermilion Bird, with a shudder, emitted a dazzling golden light, raising its arms high to smash the demon corpse,

directly blasting the beast’s head away.

The corpse’s vile blood light fell upon the Vermilion Bird but failed to penetrate its flesh.

The Invulnerability Divine Technique was not mere bragging.

The remaining two spirit corpses attempted ambushes on the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Golden Scale Beast, respectively.

As the one ambushing the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon approached, it instantly turned into an ice sculpture, encapsulated within an Ice Palace.

As the Ice Palace shattered, the entire demon corpse also turned into fragments, resembling the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s Rock Burst Skill.

Yet here it manifested as the Ice Palace Burst for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

The demon corpse attacking the Golden Scale Beast managed to get close, but the Golden Scale Beast reversed its terrifying gravity, converting it into repulsion, propelling the demon corpse away, which was then impaled by countless rock spikes from the Golden Scale Beast.

Boom!

At this moment, the Tier Five Array was completely shattered.

In the distance, under another claw of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, True Monarch Heiyu’s physical body completely collapsed.

At this moment, True Monarch Heiyu’s Nascent Soul carrying a storage bag and a magical treasure fled towards the Secret Realm entrance.

The teleportation divine techniques of the Nascent Soul were too fast for even the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to block.

But just at this moment, a beam of blood light appeared, enveloping the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s Nascent Soul; it was the Soul-Devouring Illusion Divine Techniques of the Spirit Treasure Blood Soul Bead.

At the same time, a black-and-white bead enveloped True Monarch Heiyu’s Nascent Soul.

In the end, it was pierced by the Flying Sword wielded by Ye Jingcheng.

True Monarch Heiyu also perished immediately.

Ye Jingcheng dared not delay and released the Dream-Devouring Worm.

It began to devour the Divine Soul of the Nascent Soul, but at this moment, a green light shot out from the Nascent Soul, aiming at Ye Jingcheng.

Clearly, True Monarch Heiyu’s Nascent Soul was pretending to be dead.

But Ye Jingcheng was not close, and with a single absorption from the Dream-Devouring Worm, the green light entered the Dream-Devouring Worm’s mouth.

Saving the need for separation.

The Nascent Soul began to dissipate into Spiritual Light.

Ye Jingcheng then tossed the Nascent Soul towards the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

Although the saliva of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was flowing long now, showing an immense desire for the remaining Nascent Soul.

Nonetheless, in this battle, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor had contributed the most, and it was about to break through to the Mid-stage of Tier Five, which was extremely important for the Ye Family.

Therefore, it was first given to the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, whereas Ye Jingcheng planned to give the Nascent Soul Pill to the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon for its breakthrough.

The Tier Five Nascent Soul Treasure Medicine acquired by the Ye Family in the Earth Immortal Realm could be planned and used as two portions.

Since his own chances of breaking through with the Nascent Soul Pill, Chenjing Jade, and Top-Grade Spirit Stones were already very high, the remaining Five Demons Nascent Soul Secret Technique and Nascent Soul Pill could be given to other clan members.

If there were no changes in the Eastern Domain, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon could wait, but because the Eastern Domain was currently tense, Ye Jingcheng wished to allow the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to break through to Tier Five as soon as possible.

Currently, Ye Xuecang of the Ye Family was only at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, Ye Xuefan, Ye Haicheng, and Chu Yanqing were only at the Early Stage of Golden Core, so there was no hurry to use the Nascent Soul Treasure Medicine.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was not shy about it; now it was only a hair’s breadth away from reaching the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, and its breakthrough would clearly benefit the Ye Family more.

With one devour from the Dream-Devouring Worm, Ye Jingcheng also started Dream-Devouring Soul-Searching, but he did not search other cultivation techniques or treasures, he only searched to see if there were any traps.

Ye Jingcheng had personally experienced the various tactics of these Demon Cultivators, even Master Silver Spear knew to leave behind a Soul Split.

Fortunately, after Soul Searching, there were no other overlooked points.

Ye Jingcheng collected the treasures and remaining Array Banners without checking them, and in the Secret Realm, he set up a Self-Destruction Array.

Upon exiting the Secret Realm, it turned into a ruin.

Outside the mountain gate, Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan had arrived at the forefront.

The two had already slaughtered the remnants of the Blood Spear Sect clean.

To eliminate some suspicion, Ye Xuefan had even wiped out two neighboring Purple Mansion influences.

The forces in Purple He Commandery were all Demon Cultivators, with Corpse Refinement, Blood Sacrifice, Furnace Cauldron being commonplace, killing them was not unjustified.

As the three gathered, they headed back along the original path into the distance.

...

After they left, two moments passed, and a figure clad in the Profound Celestial Demon Robe descended into the void.

The figure took a step onto the mountaintop, entering the Secret Realm.

He took out a mirror to search carefully, but nothing was left behind.

There were no survivors around.

Not even Soul Searching was possible, and the Secret Realm had already turned into a ruin, unable to be deduced even with treasures.

As the figure appeared outside, the Mansion Master of Hezhong Mansion was already beside him.

This Mansion Master also had Late Stage Golden Core cultivation, but he looked at this figure with utmost respect and caution.

”Master Xuanming, what should we do about the Celestial Demon Sect...”

”First suppress the news, suppress the issue of the Blood Spear and Heiyu, those hypocrites of the Righteous Sect, so sinister, they shouldn’t blame us for being unrighteous!” The figure was equally extremely angry.

He had guarded here for six years, yet still, an incident occurred.

”Transmit the message to True Monarch Gui Xuan of the Gui Xuan Sect, tell him to block at the Demon Pass Mansion, they will certainly pass through the Demon Cloud Abyss of the Demon Pass Mansion.”

”Also, check if there are any spies!” True Monarch Xuanming thought for a while, then added as he spoke.

After speaking, he vanished into the void.

And the direction in which True Monarch Xuanming vanished was precisely the direction Ye Jingcheng disappeared.
