Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The beast tide came with excessive ferocity, perhaps because the beast tides have been too frequent in the past century, or perhaps because the Ye Family’s preparations were too thorough.

Dense masses of demon beasts approached Cyan Yuan Island from afar, like migrating schools of fish, stretching beyond what the eye could see.

Even individually, each of their auras was not weak, and Purple Mansion Great Demons appeared extraordinarily commonplace.

For long-standing Ye family members like Ye Haige and Ye Haicheng, who have experienced many beast tides, it naturally wasn’t considered significant, and their mental state remained calm and steady.

Even upon seeing five to six demon kings emerge in the sea, they would merely feel it still wasn’t enough.

Once this affair was concluded, the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain would inevitably be searched, and then the Ye Family could no longer conceal themselves like before, so in truth, this beast tide was a one-time deal.

Of course, they worried about gaining too little.

On the other hand, the young clan members such as Ye Qingnian, Ye Yunxuan, and Ye Yunxi, had only experienced the largest beast tide once, at the Celestial Departure Grassland.

But that instance was not considered significant.

Of course, despite their astonishment, none felt fear.

As core members of the Ye Family, each possessed at least two to three Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts.

Among them, Ye Yunxi ironically had the weakest spirit beast. The Ye Family only had a few water attribute demon kings, and Ye Yunxi’s Silver Moon Python had transformed into a half-flood dragon, yet it remained at the late stage of the third tier, unable to break through to the fourth tier.

In truth, the most suitable companion for Ye Yunxi was Chenjing, but Chenjing refused to accept Ye Yunxi, and due to the presence of Ye Haisheng and Ye Haige, the Ye family allowed Chenjing to choose its own master, ultimately selecting another celestial spirit root from the Ye family, so no further discussion was warranted.

Aside from this, everyone’s magical artifacts were of high grade, making them even less fearful of the beast tide.

Ye Haicheng glanced at the Soul Capturing Banner at the center, then spoke:

”Everyone, strive to kill swiftly, and do not harbor any thoughts of mercy or forging techniques.”

”Do not capture the young beasts, we do not have the time or energy to capture young beasts this time!”

”Moreover, apply poison to all your magical artifacts, and keep your spirit talismans ready; do not fear waste!”

...

Even though Ye Haicheng had reminded several times already, he couldn’t help but do so again.

This time, the Purple Mansion contained many young clan members, whose biggest flaw was their lack of resolve.

Hence, even if it may seem repetitive, he continued to emphasize.

He then turned to Ye Jingyu.

”Jingyu, pay extra attention to Yunxi, Qingnian, and Yunxuan,” Ye Haicheng transmitted his voice.

This time, Ye Jingyu was primarily responsible for controlling the array, while also keeping an eye on everyone else, as they were indeed the backbone of the Ye Family, and nobody below the Purple Mansion was present.

Among the young clan members, Ye Yunxuan, Ye Qingnian, and Ye Yunxi were the outstanding ones and must not face any problems.

Almost at the same moment Ye Haicheng finished the transmission, the demon beasts had rushed forward.

The first wave of demon kings consisted of six.

Among them were two Five-colored Profound Seals, one Horned Turtle Demon King, one Sea-devouring Crocodile, and two Cyan Light Crocodile Finches.

The cultivation levels of the six demon kings were at the early and mid-stage of the fourth tier.

No late-stage fourth-tier appeared, but Ye Haicheng still released the Golden Scale Beast immediately. Normally, the Ye family could train their forces.

This time, it was purely to destroy the beast tide and seize the beast souls, with no need to hide their strength.

Ye Jingyu also immediately activated the array to trap the six demon kings.

As the array ensnared, the Golden Scale Beast flew out directly, enforcing its Gravity Divine Light. The moment it landed on the sea surface, even the sea itself slowed down.

The Golden Scale Beast first charged at the Sea-devouring Crocodile, the demon with the highest cultivation level.

It naturally disliked crocodiles and serpents, so at this moment, it held nothing back. The continuous golden earthen spikes and the overwhelming Earth Qilin Hall made it almost impossible to find a gap.

Even though the Sea-devouring Crocodile’s hide was as tough as tier four profound iron, it was still ripped into countless bloody gashes by the Golden Scale Beast’s golden earth spikes.

Faced with the Vermilion Bird’s invulnerability, the Golden Scale Beast had studied its golden earth spikes for years, treating them like a secret technique. When faced with the ordinary demon kings, it was genuinely a dimensional reduction strike.

One could only say that these demon kings were not even worth a trace of its old friend’s comparison.

The mid-stage fourth-tier Sea-devouring Crocodile Demon King didn’t last five breaths before being torn into pieces by the Golden Scale Beast, with its inner core extracted and stored in the storage bag at its waist.

Because Peach Wood always gathered treasures, Ye Jingcheng deeply liked it, so many of Ye Jingcheng’s spirit beasts would carry storage bags to collect spoils of war.

Thus, the Golden Scale Beast also began collecting the spoils.

While the Golden Scale Beast slew the Sea-devouring Crocodile, Ye Jingyu’s two flood dragons were performing impressively as well.

His Blue Jade Flood Dragon had already broken through to the fourth tier, whereas the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was still at the peak of the third tier but wasn’t far from the fourth.

However, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s potential was expected to diminish upon reaching the fourth tier.

The Blue Jade Flood Dragon cultivated heavy water divine techniques, exhaling heavy water and transforming into a blue dragon. Alongside the array, it quickly hunted down a Five-colored Profound Seal.

Beside it, Ye Haige was using his magical treasure for close combat against a Cyan Crocodile Finch.

Beside him stood a ten-zhang tall tier four Star-Eyed Iron Ape, currently battling another Cyan Crocodile Finch.

Including Ye Yunxi and Ye Haicheng, the six demon kings were slain within just over ten breaths.

The Ye family continued to increase the catalyst on the demon-enticing grass as Ye Jingyu further activated the wind banner treasure to attract more demon beasts.

Of course, while attracting more beasts, they also started slaughtering those third-tier great demons and first to second-tier demon beasts.

At this moment, the Ye family’s Purple Mansion displayed equally strong performances. On Ye Yunxuan’s body, several spirit talisman shadows appeared.

Observing this, even Ye Qingnian felt a chill, aware that Ye Yunxuan had indeed held back during the Purple Mansion Competition.

With a series of talisman shadows being cast, a wide range of terrifying secret techniques manifested, rendering even the late-stage third-tier Water Spike Turtle Great Demon unable to withstand Ye Yunxuan’s attacks.

Ye Qingnian witnessed this and was not to be outdone; he dispatched his three beasts—the Rock Flood Dragon, Silver Moon Flood Dragon, and Three-Eyed Demon Roc—all at once.

In his hand, he wielded a set of twelve tier-three Treasure Flying Swords.

While he may not be a Sword Cultivator, Ye Qingnian’s control over twelve swords nonetheless displayed formidable power.

The four Water Attribute Spiritual Sword Treasures flowed endlessly and vigorously.

The four Earth Attribute Spiritual Sword Treasures were solid and fierce, unparalleled in their might.

As for the four Fire Attribute Spiritual Sword Treasures, needless to say, their explosive power was tremendous, and Ye Qingnian had also equipped them with a Sword Bottle, making them hard to counter even for late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Numerous other young Purple Mansion cultivators were present as well.

All displayed impressive combat power, including Body Cultivator Ye Qingwen, Alchemy Master Ye Qingyan, and Insect Cultivator Ye Jingchong, to whom Ye Haicheng frequently nodded in approval.

Although the younger members of the Ye Family had not undergone extensive training, they had quietly matured.

How could this not bring comfort and pride to their elders?

Especially Ye Qingyan, whom Ye Haicheng initially thought was slightly weaker due to his constant alchemy practice at Taichang Market, but his adept use of Fire Manipulation Skill was flawless, as if commanding a Fire Beast, and he incinerated numerous demon beasts even in the sea.

...

Lu Kingdom, Haoyang Daoist Temple, atop Spirit Mountain.

True Monarch Chunyang personally operated the Sea Mirror.

However, the Sea Mirror was not directed towards Cyan Cloud Sea but rather towards the Qi Kingdom’s territory.

Being an Ancient Treasure, the Sea Mirror naturally had capabilities beyond merely viewing Nascent Souls, but normally, without a Nascent Soul to activate it, it was primarily used to monitor if there were any Nascent Souls or tier-five Demon Emperors in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain and the Celestial Horse Sea Domain.

Now that someone was controlling it, the entire Cultivation Realm area of the Qi Kingdom was laid bare, and he naturally saw the ruins of the Celestial Water Sect, causing his eyes to be filled with fear and anxiety.

He knew that Celestial Water Sect had a Nascent Soul and a tier-five Corpse Emperor, yet it was crushed so swiftly, without time for rescue.

This meant that at least four Nascent Souls had arrived, likely including those from Medicine King Valley or Jinguang Temple.

It’s worth noting that Haoyang Daoist Temple guards only three Nascent Souls; the other two have gone to Wei Kingdom.

If the adversary chose to target Haoyang Daoist Temple, it would suffer massive losses.

Under the Sea Mirror, True Monarch Chunyang also saw many traces.

Only then did he realize that the traces were intentionally created by the adversary, not directions of their actual escape.

His Sea Mirror eventually picked up views of True Monarch Yuanze and others.

Clearly, the Nascent Souls from Celestial Water Sect and Sea-controlling Sect had returned.

”We must exert pressure on the Ye Family; if they were to replicate this at Haoyang Daoist Temple, we cannot remain at ease!” True Monarch Chunyang couldn’t help but speak.

They feared not just the adversary’s Nascent Souls but their capability to find the Teleportation Array instantly and destroy the Array in no time.

Why was it that many forces could hold their gates for a long time, even with four or five times the enemy’s strength? It was because of the existence of a Mountain Protection Array, which provided much security.

They had assured trips to Yan Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom, thanks to the Teleportation Array.

If neither work, they would not dare travel abroad in the future, let alone put pressure on Yan Kingdom in advance.

It has been a tense water-and-fire conflict between the two parties for some time now.

”Senior Brother Chunyang, have Ye Family’s people returned already?” queried a nearby Nascent Soul.

”They should have; otherwise, staying in Qi and Lu Kingdoms would mean facing encirclement by the Six Sects!” True Monarch Chunyang nodded.

He didn’t believe Ye Family would stay, nor was there any reason for them to do so.

Having destroyed a sect and instilled fear, the Ye Family had already triumphed.

...

In front of Cyan and Yellow Mountain, True Monarch Yuanze, Profound Corpse True Monarch, and Sea Ruling True Monarch had arrived.

They looked upon the underground hall, now in ruins but could still see remnants of some Teleportation Array.

”The Spatial Jade crafted by Medicine King Valley must have been used by Medicine King Valley to set up the Teleportation Array here; evidently, it was the Nether Fire Demon Emperor, Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, and Nascent Souls from Medicine King Valley!” True Monarch Yuanze exclaimed with rage as he examined the remaining traces.

”They should have returned to Yan Kingdom by now!” True Monarch Qinghe said with a frown.

If the adversary returned to Yan Kingdom, his Qinghe Sect would be in danger.

Even beside him, Profound Corpse True Monarch’s expression changed.

With his Celestial Corpse Sect in the Chu Kingdom not far from Yan Kingdom, he feared Ye Family might strike Celestial Corpse Valley at Celestial Corpse Sect.

The Celestial Corpse Sect now had only one Nascent Soul and two tier-five Corpse Emperors, so the risk of annihilation was not small.

True Monarch Yuanze did not speak, merely gripping his fist tightly.

Next moment, he sensed the Ten Thousand Miles Jade glowing again.

Taking it out as warmth spread, words appeared on it.

The words described in detail how the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, Seven Great Islands, and Outer Sea were all marked with Demon-enticing Grass remnants.

Once-in-a-century Beast Tide might be about to occur again.

”Not good, let’s hurry to Haoyang Daoist Temple; Ye Family intends to launch a Beast Tide of the previous scale again, and we must utilize the Sea Mirror!” True Monarch Yuanze lost his voice in a shout.

With Celestial Water Sect’s mountain gate destroyed, heavy losses had already been incurred; if a Beast Tide were to happen, the remaining three sects would be too busy to assist, leaving no one to join him in attacking Ye Family.

This was evidently a chain scheme, aimed at resolving the crisis of the Medicine King Valley faction!
