Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

But then, he also resolutely left.

He believed he had already done everything he could. The next step was to cultivate the next generation of talents for the Wan Family.

Once the Wan Family’s talents were cultivated, coupled with Wan Yulian’s presence, the Wan Family was guaranteed to thrive for at least a millennium.

Then, he could go into seclusion with peace of mind, giving it his all to push for a Realm the Wan Family had never reached before.

...

Ye Jingcheng’s preaching continued for five days—two days longer than he had anticipated.

When the preaching concluded, Ye Jingcheng remained on the high platform.

His eyes were slightly closed, leaving the Ye Family’s Golden Core Cultivators below the stage full of confusion.

Only Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng, who knew about the Spirit Treasure, understood that it must have triggered Ye Jingcheng to enter a state of enlightenment.

”Use an Array to enclose this area. Tell anyone who is about to break through to go somewhere else!” Ye Xuefan instructed.

Many Ye Family Members had gained insights this time, including the Golden Core and Purple Mansion Cultivators among them. However, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s enlightenment was of utmost importance, so they all had to leave.

They even planned to lock down Lingyuan Peak.

After all, the Ye Family’s main Spirit Mountains were Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak. Lingyuan Peak was merely used for hosting ceremonies and preaching.

It was only natural to seal the mountain off now.

After the lockdown was complete, there were still no signs of Ye Jingcheng’s anomalous phenomena coming to an end.

”Let’s not wait anymore. Convene the family assembly,” Ye Haicheng said after glancing at Ye Xuefan. ”The Immortal Ascension Conference and the family tournament must follow in two days.”

The family’s reforms had already been communicated to Ye Jingcheng. Although he was now in seclusion for his enlightenment, the family’s sacrificial ceremonies, clan assemblies, Immortal Ascension Conference, and tournament could not be delayed.

These events were crucial to the selection of the Ye Family’s Spiritual Children, as well as the family’s arrangements for the Central Domain.

The only silver lining was that this preaching session was not the one scheduled a year later at Lingyun Peak.

If he had entered enlightenment during a preaching session at Lingyun Peak, Penglai would inevitably have targeted them, causing trouble and forcing Ye Jingcheng’s enlightenment to halt.

”Yes, let’s head to the family assembly first to announce the appointments and the Elder System!” Ye Xuefan nodded. It was clear that Ye Jingcheng’s enlightenment wouldn’t end anytime soon.

But there were too many matters at hand for the Ye Family, and many Cultivators had only returned because of the ceremony.

Once the ceremony and clan assembly concluded, they would have to rush to various family territories to carry out their tasks. Naturally, they couldn’t afford too much delay.

”Let’s still give everyone a day to consolidate their gains. In one day, we will hold the clan assembly in the main hall of Celestial Shadow Peak,” Ye Xuefan deliberated before adding.

After speaking, he looked towards the Turtle Ancestor in the distance.

”Little Turtle, you will stand as Guardian for Jingcheng here,” Ye Xuefan finally instructed.

It was naturally a joke for these Spirit Turtles to listen to the preaching. Although they looked intimidating, in reality, these Profound Turtles had fallen fast asleep after listening for just one day.

Even the Tai Cang Turtle was no exception.

Had it known this would happen, it might as well have taken on a few more Ye Family missions to earn Contribution Points and exchange them for Ye Jingcheng’s Treasure Light.

”Fine!” The Tai Cang Turtle was a bit dissatisfied at first, but then it thought about how it would be serving as Ye Jingcheng’s Guardian. When Ye Jingcheng emerged from seclusion, wouldn’t it have achieved a great merit? Asking him for some Spirit Pills and Treasure Light would be a breeze then.

At this thought, the Tai Cang Turtle grew excited, increasingly admiring its own turtle brain.

It felt that perhaps it hadn’t come to this preaching session in vain after all.

”Ugly Thorn Turtle, go to that spot. Stupid Wood Turtle, go over there...” Thinking of this, the Tai Cang Turtle even directed the little turtles, assigning them specific positions to stand as Guardians for Ye Jingcheng.

This way, the merit would be even greater!

...

On the high platform, the dense Cyan Lotus Spirit Shadow had now grown to a height of thirty feet.

Placed within the Spirit Shadow, Ye Jingcheng’s body resembled a white Lotus Seed.

Ye Jingcheng’s eyes were tightly shut. He felt as if he were situated in the Lotus Celestial Realm.

On his body, the Spirit Patterns of five Hidden Skill Divine Techniques converged around him.

Because his preaching had triggered his enlightenment, Ye Jingcheng had become much more proficient in executing many Secret Techniques.

If he cast the Five Elements Divine Thunder now, it would definitely prove highly troublesome even for Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

But Ye Jingcheng was naturally not satisfied with just this. Thus, upon realizing he had entered a state of enlightenment, he began to comprehend his own Hidden Skill Divine Techniques.

In his view, since the Five Elements Divine Thunder could be cast together, his Five Elements Hidden Skill Divine Techniques could certainly be executed simultaneously as well.

At this thought, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat excited. After all, if the five Hidden Skill Divine Techniques were cast all at once, perhaps even Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators wouldn’t be able to easily withstand them.

However, even with enlightenment, it was difficult to master them in a short period of time.

When a single Hidden Skill Divine Technique was cast, the active True Essence within Ye Jingcheng was actually restricted to that solitary attribute.

This was, after all, fundamentally different from the Five Elements Divine Thunder being condensed in the palm—it manifested directly above the Nascent Soul.

The difficulty of control required was worlds apart.

Ye Jingcheng tested it out and found that combining even two attributes was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was in a state of enlightenment. He continuously refined his Divine Techniques. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to cast the Five Elements Hidden Skill Divine Techniques.

...

In the Clan Assembly Hall, a day had passed, and the group of Ye Family Elders arrived once again.

Smiles adorned everyone’s faces. After taking time to consolidate their insights, their gains had grown even further.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Jingcheng was in seclusion for enlightenment, guaranteeing his strength would only grow in the future, the Ye Family’s younger generation was springing up rapidly like mushrooms after rain.

Any one of these events was enough to fill these Ye Family Elders with joy.

This time, aside from the Hall Masters of the various Hall Entrances, almost all the Purple Mansion Cultivators of the Ye Family who could attend had arrived.

Over seventy people had gathered within the grand hall.

”Everyone, reveal your Bright Patterns!” As the Patriarch, Ye Haicheng sat at the highest seat and was the first to speak.

Naturally, everyone who could be here belonged to the Inner Hall and possessed the Ye Family’s Beast Communication Pattern.

More than seventy Beast Communication Patterns manifested, illuminating the entire hall as if a cluster of stars were shining brilliantly.

Without exception, every Ye Family Member felt their blood boil with excitement.

This was a power originating from the Ye Family’s bloodline, and it would guide the family toward a higher Immortal Path in the future.

”First, I will announce a few new clan rules.” Once the clan patterns were illuminated, the surrounding Arrays were activated to their maximum state.

Ye Haicheng finally began to speak:

”First, all Golden Core Cultivators of the family will form the Elder Council, and Nascent Soul Cultivators will serve as Supreme Elders. All Elders have the supreme decision-making authority regarding the family’s direction. Among them, a Supreme Elder’s vote counts as five, while the other Elders’ votes count as one. Family matters will follow the principle of the minority submitting to the majority.

”Second, the family’s Hall Entrances will be divided into the Sword Hall, Sword Hall, Pill Hall... The Hall Master appointments for each Hall Entrance are as follows:

”Ye Xingyuan will be the Hall Master of the Sword Hall, Ye Xingxiao will be the Hall Master of the Clan Academy, Ye Qingyan will be the Pill Hall Master, and Ye Jingli will be the Hall Master of the Artifact Hall...

”Third, the family has decided to cultivate Spiritual Children. According to the different attributes of the Hall Entrances, varying numbers of Spiritual Children have been allocated. The family will fully support these Spiritual Children in breaking through to the Late Stage of Purple Mansion...

”Fourth, from now on, the family’s Inner Hall will be divided into the Celestial Inner Hall and the Earth Inner Hall. The Celestial Inner Hall will remain the same as the previous Inner Hall, marked by the Beast Communication Pattern. The Earth Inner Hall will be the Inner Hall for non-bloodline members and non-Communication Beast Clan members, marked by the Beast Pattern of the Eight Desolate Beast Wilderness!

”Fifth, the Purple Mansion Tournament will continue. First-place winners in the five-category tournament of Pill, Artifact, Talisman, Array, and Puppet, as well as the Purple Mansion Magical Combat Tournament, will have priority exchange rights for the Gold Condensing Pill...”

...

Ye Haicheng announced them point by point, and all the Cultivators listened with utmost attention.

This concerned the future direction of the Ye Family, as well as their own future Cultivation.

Especially the fifth point—the moment it was spoken, everyone rejoiced.

This indicated that the family was not in short supply of Gold Condensing Pills. Furthermore, having a six-category tournament was much better than having solely a Magical Combat tournament.

This would provide more possibilities. After all, due to the Ye Family’s previous support policies, many Cultivators were not adept at Magical Combat but possessed exceptional, natural talent in the Four Skills of Cultivation.

Ye Jingli and Ye Qingyan were both prime examples of this.

”In addition, regarding stipends, the Ye Family’s stipends will remain unchanged. We will not abolish childbearing support just because the number of clan members has increased. Furthermore, if the various Hall Masters, Branches, and Sub-Peaks make significant progress before each clan assembly, there will be additional rewards.

”This includes the number of Spirit Root Cultivators, the number of Spirit Bodies, and the number of High-tier Artisans...”
