Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Inside the Assembly Hall, Ye Xuecang and Ye Jingcheng took a long while to calm their emotions.

Ye Xuecang even checked the Array and everything within the hall again.

Today’s events must not be leaked in the slightest.

Although Ye Qingshuang’s information was speculative and not necessarily accurate, it provided a reasonable explanation.

Meanwhile, the Ye Family must be even more cautious, for such a Penglai Sect might be far more terrifying than imagined.

With their Dao Embryo Method and Dao Acceleration Method, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators and Divinity Transformation cultivators in Penglai is likely well beyond the surface count.

”Second Uncle, we may need to prepare early. Even if True Monarch Bai Yao makes a breakthrough, it might not be enough to hold the Eastern Domain,” Ye Jingcheng said, somewhat troubled by his conjecture.

Penglai currently seems only to irritate Medicine King Valley, Jinguang Temple, and other forces, not overly concerned about True Monarch Bai Yao’s breakthrough.

This probably indicates that they are confident that even if True Monarch Bai Yao succeeds, Medicine King Valley won’t be able to establish a foothold in the Eastern Domain.

And when True Monarch Bai Yao breaks through, they will come to the Eastern Domain for a complete sweep.

That would be a great cleansing.

Judging by Penglai Sect’s past methods, this possibility is not too far-fetched.

Even True Monarch Tai Peng, who had been very active before, has disappeared. It’s known that he could repel True Monarch Bailian with a palm strike, and he’s likely gone into seclusion for a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation.

If successful, added to the two known Divinity Transformation cultivators in Penglai Sect and the possibly hidden ones, Penglai Sect may be playing a big strategic game.

”Indeed, then Penglai’s actions in the near term might diminish, but our Demon Race Teleportation Array in the Taihang Mountain Range needs to be more concealed, and it’s no longer suitable to sneak directly from Lingyun Peak to Long Elephant Valley,” Ye Xuecang said.

These insights are not shared directly with Taiyi Sect, even if it’s known that Clear Heart Cloud Water Spirit Manual is a Dao Embryo Technique, it may not be of much use.

Penglai Sect is probably prepared long ago; really informing Taiyi Sect might even lead to Penglai Sect lying in wait.

If it truly comes to a confrontation, for the Ye Family, that would be a path of self-destruction.

Currently, the Ye Family’s best development is still in the Central Domain. Although it’s very stable and opportunities for growth are limited, news has returned from the Central Domain that Prince Wang has broken through to Nascent Soul, and now the Deputy Mansion Master is one of Prince Wang’s junior brothers.

And Wang Shiyun is also in seclusion for a Golden Core breakthrough; eventually, the Wangqing Prefecture should fall under Wang Shiyun’s control.

If the Ye Family simply times their efforts, they could become the fifth Nascent Soul power in Southern Wilderness Province, managing across prefectures. The opportunity in Hundred Beasts Sect’s current opening allows the Ye Family to enter Wangqing Prefecture.

At the same time, utilizing Ye Jingting to expand towards Tianshu Mansion.

This way, the Ye Family would split the profits of Profound Puppet Sect and Mountain Map Liu Family, without offending both forces entirely.

With the favor of Xu Huai True Monarch and Prince Wang, the Ye Family can firmly establish a foothold in Southern Wilderness Province.

Even if troubles truly arise in the Eastern Domain, the Ye Family wouldn’t have to worry too much.

Of course, this requires time; after all, Prince Wang has the Nascent Soul Pill, and no matter how lucky Ye Jingcheng is, he needs at least twenty to thirty years to exhibit Nascent Soul cultivation, so as to avoid arousing suspicion.

Simultaneously, Ye Jingcheng needs to intensively study Spatial Jade refining.

Reliance on others’ Spatial Jade is unsettling, whereas home-crafted Spatial Jade brings peace of mind.

In the aspect of Spatial Jade, it’s more pressing than some Spirit Pill refining.

”Jingcheng, here is the Tier Four Void Nether Jade collected by the family. You can focus on using it to refine Spatial Jade in the meantime,” Ye Xuecang said as he handed over a Storage Bag.

Ye Jingcheng nodded; indeed, there’s no need to rush now.

Just continue waiting at Lingyun Peak.

Once the Teleportation Array is finished, Ye Jingcheng can proceed more securely whether going to the Desert Sea or expanding in the Central Domain.

”Alright, Second Uncle, but deeper into the Taihang Mountain Range, clansmen need to continue exploring inside, as Long Elephant Valley still feels a bit too close,” Ye Jingcheng further suggested.

The Ye Family has ample Golden Core cultivators in the Eastern Domain, so he doesn’t need to explore himself.

Whether it’s Ye Haige’s Star-Eyed Iron Ape or Ye Jingyu’s Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, both can dive deeper into the mountains to seek a more secure and appropriate spot for placing a Teleportation Array.

As for the Teleportation Array toward the Desert Sea, it’s absolutely not considered to be set up directly in Lingyun Peak by the Ye Family.

The risks are too great, not to mention being discovered by Penglai Sect; even Taiyi Sect seeing any signs would be problematic for the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng finished the last sip of Spirit Tea, then exited the Assembly Hall, returned to his own courtyard cave, and began secluded research on Spatial Jade.

Although most Nascent Soul cultivators can refine Spatial Jade, similar to Artifact Refining, it isn’t easy; otherwise, the Ye Family would have long had the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor do it.

To refine Spatial Jade, one must have at least Tier Three Top-Grade refining skills along with Nascent Soul cultivation.

While this is not easy, with enough materials in the Ye Family, if Ye Jingcheng tries several times, it’s possible to succeed, just needing some time.

...

Celestial Capital Commandery, Celestial Blade Nine Peaks.

With the retreat of the Qinghe Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect, the numerous families and sect forces were able to scatter.

No longer guarding Celestial Blade Nine Peaks.

While there’s still considerable danger, constantly guarding Tian Dao Peak, Tian Dao Sect, and the Ye Family is fine as they have a Mini World, Secret Realm, and Market.

Yet, other forces and some Loose Cultivators are not so fortunate.

They’ve now returned to their respective Spirit Mountains, especially areas with Spiritual Ores and Spirit Veins, which have been rebuilt.

Celestial Arrival Market is now also rebuilt, with the Teleportation Array newly constructed with assistance from Taiyi Sect.

Even Taiqing Commandery’s Taiqing Market has been established.

Guarded together by several Golden Core clans and Purple Mansion clans.

Furthermore, Celestial Arrival Market and Taiqing Market have the advantage of being near Qinghe Sect.

While unable to occupy Qinghe Sect, it doesn’t prevent the various forces from making opportunistic gains in the Qinghe Four Commanderies.

Currently, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of Qinghe Sect have been transported to the East Sea border, dealing with the Beast Tide.

Although many treasures have been taken, plenty remain considerable.

Especially the numerous affiliated clans of Qinghe Sect, they too have begun to flee.

...

Of course, this purge and pursuit don’t concern the Ye Family; they only need to establish shops in the market to naturally exchange for some treasures.

Some forces might even voluntarily present treasures for future protection by the Ye Family.

At this moment, Ye Jingyu stood before the Treasure Vault of the First Peak.

Beside him was Master Mo Dao.

Master Mo Dao now looked much more weathered compared to before, with his cultivation now reaching the Late Stage of Golden Core.

Leading Ye Jingyu, he opened the Treasure Vault of Tian Dao Sect.

”Ye Daoist, once this matter is resolved, I will relinquish the position of Sect Leader, letting someone from Ye Family’s Tenth Peak take over. Now, Ye Daoist can inspect our Tian Dao Sect’s Treasure Vault,”

Master Mo Dao said.

This inspection of the Treasure Vault was essentially handing over Tian Dao Sect’s Treasure Vault to the Ye Family.

This was the way to truly bind Ye Family to Tian Dao Sect.

Since Tian Dao True Monarch hadn’t returned nor brought back treasures for a Nascent Soul, Tian Dao Sect needed to act this way to maintain control of at most one Commandery.

But now, with Ye Family joining, they can still maintain a Tier Five Sect status.

If they strive, there might still be a chance for a Nascent Soul to emerge in the future.

Master Mo Dao has already planned that once things stabilize, he will take Ye Jingcheng as his master, making affairs between Tian Dao Sect and the Ye Family more legitimate.
