Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

On Lingyuan Peak, the sunlight gradually softened, and the banquet was nearly halfway through. The crowd’s attention was no longer on the Spiritual Cuisine and Spirit Tea. Instead, they tilted their heads slightly to look at the arena. At this moment, they felt that the person on the stage was dazzling beyond compare.

Ye Zhijian’s name echoed continuously in everyone’s hearts.

Among those in Foundation Establishment, Wan Muchun was absolutely no weakling. In fact, in the Yuanling Oasis, he even held the title of the Small Sword Immortal. Yet, Ye Zhijian, who was only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, had easily defeated him. That rich Sword Intent made even Ye Jingcheng steal another glance at Ye Zhijian, let alone the other Cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng also noticed that Ye Zhijian was unexpectedly giving him an increasingly familiar feeling. Although his Sword Intent was not the Water Attribute Sword Intent, it made a figure involuntarily surface in Ye Jingcheng’s mind. That was the former Ye Haisheng; his Sword Intent had been just as fierce and powerful. Their Spirit Roots were different, but Ye Jingcheng had heard that the Ye family’s Chenjing had already changed hands, and its new master was none other than the Ye Zhijian standing before him.

If, a long time ago, Ye Jingcheng had not believed in reincarnation, then with the Celestial Dream Butterfly, he now somewhat believed in the possibility. Perhaps, he could have the Celestial Dream Butterfly help Ye Zhijian experience the Great Dream Past Life.

”Good match,” Ye Zhijian humbly cupped his hands, then bowed toward Ye Jingcheng. ”Eleventh High-Ancestor, your great-great-grandson would like to recommend another person today to test their sword and add to the festive cheer for you.”

He then signaled to a person nearby with his eyes. That person was Ye Teng Chuan. His face flushed red, deeply surprised that Ye Zhijian would call his name at this time. He knew this was Ye Zhijian’s good intention, but he was currently only at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer and had yet to reach Foundation Establishment.

However, thanks to Ye Zhijian’s blessing previously, he had successfully completed beast communication and awakened a Five-Inch Beast Pattern. Although a Five-Inch Beast Pattern was nothing special in the Ye family, for Ye Teng Chuan, he had already seen a golden avenue of Cultivation paving out before him. He possessed Five Spirit Roots. Normally, the possibility of him cultivating to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages was far too low, and the resources required would be exceptionally massive. But after contracting a Spirit Beast through the Beast Communication Pattern, he was confident he would break through to Foundation Establishment in at most three years.

While the other family members looked at Ye Zhijian and Ye Teng Chuan, Ye Haicheng, Ye Xueliang, Ye Xuefan, and the others were already looking at Ye Xingyuan. As Ye Xingyuan was the Vice Hall Master of the Sword Hall, they were intensely curious as to why Ye Teng Chuan, a Qi Cultivator with Five Spirit Roots, was acting like this today.

Meeting everyone’s gaze, Ye Xingyuan couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t answer immediately, wishing to keep it a secret for a short while longer. However, when Ye Haicheng sent a Transmission over, he helplessly spoke up.

”For the Spiritual Child of the Sword Hall this time, we want to choose Teng Chuan.”

Ye Xingyuan’s answer left Ye Haicheng exceptionally surprised. He could easily understand why the Spiritual Child wasn’t Ye Zhijian. After all, with Ye Zhijian’s innate talent, he could receive the treatment of a Spiritual Child without needing the actual title. Not to mention, he now also had Chenjing as his Spirit Beast. However, the choice of a Five Spirits Root Race person in his early fifties as the Spiritual Child still left him curious and astonished.

”He has already comprehended Sword Intent!”

This short sentence made Ye Haicheng suddenly realize the truth. A Qi Cultivation Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent could indeed serve as a Spiritual Child. He was now just curious whether Ye Zhijian bringing up Ye Teng Chuan was his own idea or Ye Xingyuan’s.

”Eleventh Ancestor, your great-grandson is willing to celebrate for you.” Although slightly nervous, Ye Teng Chuan was not a man devoid of courage. Moreover, the Sword Intent he had comprehended was not weak. In fact, he could now ascend the Ye family’s Sword Ladder without relying on anyone.

”Wan Yuhuo, go and test him. Just stop before anyone gets hurt!” As Ye Teng Chuan took the stage, Wan Chengjie nearby had already signaled with his eyes.

Since the Ye family had set up a Sword Hall, it was naturally better for a Sword Cultivator from the Wan family to act as the opponent for testing swords. Wan Chengjie wasn’t at ease with anyone else. He was worried they might act like Wan Muchun and abruptly start provoking their opponent. He needed someone who knew their limits and understood how to lose. Winning was a matter of wisdom, and so was losing. Thus, he had added significant emphasis to his words when he told him to stop before anyone got hurt.

”Elder Qianchen, this junior is so bold as to be willing to test swords with the Daoist from the Ye family.” Wan Yuhuo first cupped his hands toward Ye Jingcheng, then bowed toward Ye Teng Chuan. Only then did he draw a sword. His True Essence gathered but remained unreleased. He was very clear on what Wan Chengjie meant by his strict warning.

”Wan Daoist, I am slightly older than you. You may strike first,” Ye Teng Chuan spoke with equal humility.

Upon hearing this, Wan Yuhuo finally executed a sword strike. The Flying Sword’s speed was incredibly fast, accompanied by a small trace of Sword Aura. Its power naturally couldn’t be considered formidable, but among Qi Cultivation Cultivators, it was absolutely quite good.

At this moment, Ye Teng Chuan’s eyes finally turned serious. He took out five swords from his Storage Bag and slung them over his back. Bringing two fingers together, one of the blue swords shot out. Carrying Water Attribute Spiritual Light, it was launched later but arrived first. Moreover, a heavy feeling of water vapor rushed forth, resembling crashing waves.

This instantly sent Wan Yuhuo’s sword flying. Carrying the Sword Aura, the blue sword continued to slash toward Wan Yuhuo, its Sword Intent pressing down heavily on his body.

”This is Sword Intent!” Wan Yuhuo’s expression changed drastically. He had originally wanted to hold back, but looking at it now, he simply wasn’t a match at all.

In the end, he had no choice but to activate a Spirit Talisman. However, the Golden Bell Shield Talisman, which could usually block a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, shattered in an instant. Like being smashed by a massive wave, it crumbled into pieces.

Finally, the Magic Sword stopped right in front of Wan Yuhuo’s glabella, leaving a mere three inches of distance.

”Good match!” Ye Teng Chuan let out a long sigh of relief.
