Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

At this moment, out on the Outer Sea, towering tsunamis rolled, surging hundreds of zhang high.

Even across a distance of over a thousand li, one could still see that unstoppable wall of water, sweeping over like a natural catastrophe.

Countless Flood Dragons surged within the seawater, sometimes leaping into the sky, sometimes roaring as they sped along.

As for ordinary Demon Beasts, there was no need to even mention them—piled together in layers, dense as could be, like a flood of fish; just a single glance made many people feel suffocated.

Let alone ordinary Cultivators—even True Monarch Chunyang and the others were especially silent at this moment.

Perhaps this Beast Tide would be even greater than before; it might even cross the Celestial Horse Sea Domain and reach straight to the borders of Qilu.

Though the Flood Dragon Race and the Chenjing Race were not as strong on land as they were at sea, that didn’t mean they couldn’t come ashore.

The few of them wanted to turn and leave, but it was clearly already too late. Two Flood Dragon Race Demon Emperors, two Chenjing Race Demon Emperors,

had already completely encircled them.

Although they had two more Nascent Souls on their side, this was the sea—the two races’ Nascent Souls could arrive far faster than their backup.

”Fellow Daoists of the Flood Dragon Race, Fellow Daoists of the Whale Race, this is all a misunderstanding—would you believe that?” True Monarch Chunyang had the highest Cultivation here, so he took the initiative to speak.

”Right. If you seek vengeance, we can provide you a Teleportation Array!” True Monarch Yuanze added from the side.

As they spoke, they even took out Jade Talismans, intending to give a brief explanation.

But before they could bring out the Jade Talismans to show anything, thunder-light suddenly burst forth, water dragons roared.

The Blue Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and the Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Emperor had already struck in unison.

At the side, the Chenjing Demon Emperor also began to spread out the Celestial Divine Light.

When the few of them looked again at the eyes of those Demon Emperors, they discovered that what shone there was not hatred at all, but an overflowing greed for their Nascent Souls.

The few of them were furious in their hearts at this moment. After all, they had originally been waiting peacefully in Wei Jin to share in the spoils, yet had chased all the way to Qilu, then to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, without a moment’s rest along the way.

Especially True Monarch Yuanze—their Celestial Water Sect’s situation was already doomed, but if he could kill a Flood Dragon, refine the Flood Dragon Race’s flesh into a treasure, and refine its Demon Pill into Pills, he might still have a sliver of a chance to break through to Late Stage of Nascent Soul.

As for offending others—his Sect Gate was already gone, he feared no one!

He was the first to unleash all his Magical Treasures, cleaving straight toward the Blue Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

...

Lingyun Peak of Yan Kingdom.

With a single sword strike, Ye Jingcheng cleaved down upon the Teleportation Array, even slicing the Spatial Jade into crystal fragments, completely scrapping the Teleportation Array.

Speaking of which, the Ye Family had, this time, lost a total of four Teleportation Arrays.

It was just that two of them were provided by Medicine King Valley to begin with, and could not be considered reliable.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng had now broken through to Nascent Soul. Given time, he could also research Teleportation Arrays himself.

By then, as long as the materials were sufficient and Spirit Stones were plentiful, arranging Teleportation Arrays wouldn’t be difficult at all.

”Jingcheng, news of this Beast Tide still needs to be reported to Medicine King Valley!” After Ye Jingcheng finished dealing with the Teleportation Array, Ye Haicheng spoke up.

At this point, the crises of the various Sects were naturally resolved, but they still needed to guard against the Penglai Sect lashing out like a cornered dog.

Especially those Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs—no one knew when they might sneak over.

Even though the Ye Family now had three Nascent Soul Combat Powers, it still couldn’t be considered truly secure.

And once this matter spread, it wouldn’t just count as merit toward Medicine King Valley; for the Spirit Talisman Sect and Blood King Valley, it would be a great favor.

As for hiding it—after so many times taking action, it couldn’t be concealed, and there was no need to conceal it.

The Ye Family needed Nascent Soul Cultivators openly on the surface; Demon Emperors were Demon Beasts after all, and other Sects would hardly recognize them.

Only genuine Nascent Souls could be considered to have truly established a firm footing.

Not to mention, Medicine King Valley would definitely hand Tian Dao Sect’s territory over to the Ye Family, and if Medicine King Valley proved generous, once Qinghe Sect was driven away, the Qinghe Four Commanderies might also be given to the Ye Family.

Counting in the Celestial Blade Four Commanderies and Taihang Commandery, at that point the Ye Family would basically control over half of the Yan Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm.

Of course, all of this was predicated upon True Monarch Bai Yao breaking through to Divinity Transformation. If he failed, the Ye Family could only slip away in secret.

”Grandfather, for this matter we still need to ask you to send a Transmission to Fairy Linghong, just say that I’ve been seriously injured!” Ye Jingcheng said.

Hearing Ye Jingcheng speak, Ye Haicheng couldn’t help but laugh, nodding repeatedly. It might seem like just a minor difference in phrasing, but in truth, the implications were worlds apart.

After all, retaliation was highly likely. If Fairy Linghong could come, then as True Monarch Bai Yao’s daughter, the Ye Family’s safety would naturally be guaranteed.

Once the situation in the East Sea deteriorated, even if the Penglai Sect wanted to strike at that time, they would have to free up their hands first.

Whereas if Ye Jingcheng went to the Taiyi Sect, it might be just like last time—the Penglai Sect’s Nascent Souls could charge into the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak and possibly abduct the other clan members of the Ye Family.

After all, Penglai had already done such a thing before.

If the Ye Family hadn’t kept a backup plan then, arranging for their clansmen to enter the mountain ranges in advance, the losses would definitely have been immeasurable.

After Ye Haicheng left, Ye Jingcheng also took out the Beast Banner and handed it together to Ye Xuefan.

”Fourth Grand-Uncle, I’ll trouble you to take this Beast Banner and Qingnian and the others back to the Desert Sea together!” As Ye Jingcheng spoke, he also took out a Spirit Beast Bag; inside the Spirit Beast Bag was the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

”Alright.” Ye Xuefan glanced at the Beast Banner; he saw beast souls surging within—one Tier Five Demon Emperor Beast Soul, sixteen Tier Four Demon King Beast Souls, over a hundred Tier Three Great Demon Beast Souls, and Tier Two and Tier One Beast Souls numbering over fifty thousand. With this quantity, both Ye Jingyu and Ye Haige could undergo Third Soul Injection, and younger clansmen like Ye Qingnian and Ye Yunxuan could also undergo Second Soul Injection.

Of course, the Ye Family also had to consider finding someone to contract the Black Crow Demon King or the Three-eyed Demon King to perform Third Soul Injection; perhaps that could add a Demon Emperor to the Ye Family.

Previously, the Ye Family didn’t have enough Nascent Soul combat power and it was hard to keep things under control, but now they could slowly start planning.

After speaking, Ye Xuefan took the clan’s Jade Celestial Heaven and set off at once.

Ye Jingcheng watched them for a while; only after seeing them enter the Taihang Mountain Range where the danger lessened did he return to Lingyun Lake on Lingyun Peak.

Since he was currently injured, he naturally needed to go into seclusion for a few days.

It was also a good time to sort out the gains from this trip.

At the same time, the batch of Spirit Medicines still needed him to imbue them with Treasure Light and nourish them properly.

After setting up the Array, Ye Jingcheng entered the Grotto Heaven, only to find it rather cluttered at the moment.

Near the Peach Wood, Storage Bags were piled up everywhere; the Peach Wood was currently helping Ye Jingcheng sort the Storage Bags, categorizing them according to the size of their internal space.

At the same time, treasures from the Celestial Water Sect’s Treasure Vault were also here—there was a Treasure Tower, a full six layers tall; clearly, the Peach Wood had collected the tower along with everything else.

Ye Jingcheng did not go to inspect the treasures first, but looked toward the Spirit Fields and the various Spirit Medicines. He saw that several more Spirit Fields had been opened up near his original Spirit Medicine Garden.

The Spirit Fields were covered with a great deal of Spiritual Soil—Tier Three Spiritual Soil and Tier Four Spiritual Soil were rather common, and there was also quite a bit of Tier Five Spiritual Soil.

One could say that the value of just this Spiritual Soil alone was extremely high.

Moreover, after Ye Jingcheng examined them, he found that aside from the Spirit Medicines he had obtained from the Tier Five Spirit Medicine Garden, there were now many more Tier Four Spiritual Medicines, and five more Purple Jade Vines. Counting the Purple Jade Vines from the Tier Five Spirit Medicine Garden, there were a total of eight.

Furthermore, after checking, Ye Jingcheng found that all the advancing Pill Spirit Medicines for the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird had been gathered; the only thing missing now was Advanced Essence Blood.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Aside from the Spirit Medicines for Tier Five Spirit Pills, there were also plenty of Spirit Medicines for Tier Four cultivation-boosting Spirit Pills. This meant he could refine more Spirit Pills and further raise the cultivation of people like Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan.

Ye Xuecang had already broken through to Middle Stage of Golden Core over fifty years ago; as long as he prepared some Spirit Pills and added a few newly contracted Spirit Beasts, breaking through to Late Stage of Golden Core would come quickly.

However, even with several Spiritual Springs, the Spiritual Energy was still somewhat lacking. Even though the Jade Ring Rat and Earthworm had been working very hard, the Spirit Medicines still appeared rather listless.

”Master, we’ve already done everything we could...” The Jade Ring Rat looked at Ye Jingcheng and spoke.

”You’ve done well; this isn’t your fault.” Ye Jingcheng waved his hand.

These Spirit Medicines hadn’t been transplanted in a particularly professional manner, and the Spiritual Energy here was somewhat insufficient. The fact that they hadn’t directly withered was already thanks to the efforts of the Jade Ring Rat and the Earthworm.

Ye Jingcheng saw that the water produced by the Blood Spring had decreased quite a bit.

Clearly, the Spirit Vein needed advancement; otherwise there was simply no way to cultivate this many Spirit Medicines and support so many Demon Kings and Demon Emperors in cultivation.

Ye Jingcheng first stepped forward and infused the Spirit Medicines with Treasure Light.

That made them look less withered.

He especially focused Treasure Light on the Primordial Jade Fruit Tree.

After finishing his inspection of the Spirit Medicines, Ye Jingcheng took out the Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array and the Spirit-Attracting Stones, and began upgrading the Spirit Vein.

In the Treasure Vault, Ye Jingcheng had found as many as one thousand Upper-grade Spirit Stones, sixty-three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Calculated out, the profit from Spirit Stones alone already exceeded twenty million Spirit Stones, and that was not counting the gains from other Storage Bags—he hadn’t even had the time to examine True Monarch Beixuan’s Storage Bag.

One could say that upgrading the Tier Five Spiritual Vein had cost Ye Jingcheng basically nothing.

No wonder so many people loved doing the business of robbing Tribulation Cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help sighing as he upgraded the Spirit Vein.

Once the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stones were all set up, the Spiritual Energy in the Grotto Heaven instantly increased significantly, turning into ripples that spread in all directions.

All the Spirit Beasts began to cheer in delight.

Ye Jingcheng also let out a long breath; once the Spirit Vein stabilized, his Grotto Heaven would have a Tier Five Spiritual Vein. In the future, no matter where he cultivated, he would no longer have to worry about insufficient Spiritual Energy.

Of course, the Ye Family still needed to purchase Tier Five Spirit Gathering Arrays and Spirit-Attracting Stones; in the future, the Ye Family’s Nascent Souls would only grow in number.

It would be best to set up Tier Five Spirit Gathering Arrays on both Sha Huang Mountain and Lingyun Peak.

After all, they were considered the Ye Family’s Main Mountains—their prestige could not be lacking.

Naturally, the Ye Family could also start considering whether to place the main clan mountain on the Celestial Blade Nine Peaks in the future.

After all, there was an existing Tier Five Spiritual Vein on the Celestial Blade Nine Peaks.

The only drawback was that there were still quite a few Tian Dao Sect cultivators on the Celestial Blade Nine Peaks.

Assimilating the Tian Dao Sect was much more difficult than assimilating the Celestial Sand Sect.
