Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Divine Medicine Valley was undoubtedly one of the top three spirit valleys in the Eastern Domain, its vastness easily rivaling several commanderies of the Yan Kingdom. On a spirit mountain in the far distance, a black-robed figure stood atop a Teleportation Array, gazing at Medicine King Mountain from afar. The vitality radiating from Medicine King Mountain was overwhelmingly rich; its Top-Grade pure Wood Attribute Spirit Vein truly harbored endless life force. From this vantage point, the mountain was a lush expanse of greenery where Spirit Medicines grew exceptionally well, accompanied by the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers—a scene brimming with boundless vitality.

However, at this moment, he felt as though he could already foresee this distant vitality collapsing, the pavilions toppling, and countless cultivators dying tragically in the maws of beasts. The renowned name of Medicine King Valley would completely vanish from the Eastern Domain, sharing the same fate as the Eight Desolates Sect over a millennium ago.

The Penglai Sect had controlled the Eastern Domain for so long that they had seen far too many ants who, believing they had grown a bit larger, sought a seat at the table. Yet every time, swatting them down merely required a little extra effort. Their greatest concern was a complete reshuffling of power. That would be far too troublesome, especially since many Dao Embryos had yet to mature. What frustrated him the most was Jinguang Temple, which had actually seized this opportunity to meddle in their affairs.

The next moment, his gaze grew more profound. On that mountain, a young novice monk dressed in red robes turned to look in his direction. The novice monk appeared quite young, but he knew very well that the person before him was also several thousand years old; it was simply because the monks of Jinguang Temple could cultivate reincarnation bodies.

”Gu Meng, you cannot interfere this time,” he said.

”I offer those exact same words to you, Tian De,” Gu Meng’s voice replied, seeming to traverse the long river of space before landing exclusively around him.

This caused Tian De Divine Monarch to frown instinctively. Looking at Medicine King Mountain, he could not fathom where Gu Meng drew his confidence from. But soon after, he seemed to realize something, and his expression shifted slightly.

”You people from Jinguang Temple are truly annoying,” Tian De Divine Monarch sneered. With that, he stepped directly into the Teleportation Array. As the light of the array faded, he disappeared from the spot.

He knew their scheme had failed this time; Jinguang Temple’s dedication to protecting Medicine King Valley was simply too resolute. Right now, he still needed to rush to the East Sea to completely renegotiate their agreement with those two old Flood Dragons and the Old Chen Whale.

As Tian De Divine Monarch completely vanished from the Zhao Kingdom, Divine Monarch Gu Meng’s threatening words echoed in his mind.

”Tian De, do not bother next time. Until Bai Yao breaks through, banish any other thoughts from your mind. I am not afraid to let you know that Bai Yao is currently breaking through within my Grotto Heaven.

”He has done me a great favor. Until he breaks through, you will not touch him!”

Meanwhile, at Medicine King Mountain, the Array was already struggling to hold up. There were simply too many Blood Corpses. Coupled with Array-Breaking Talismans and, most crucially, the two Demon Emperors leading countless Demon Beasts in a suicidal charge, the pressure was immense. The scale of this assault was no less terrifying than a large-scale Beast Tide in the Taihang Mountain Range.

”When it comes to Beast Taming Skills, what does the Ye Family count for? Our Beast Spirit Sect is the true orthodoxy,” Tian Du True Monarch, who was leading the assault, sneered dismissively.

For the past century, everyone had been singing praises of the Ye Family and the Beast Desolate Wasteland. However, the legacy of their Beast Spirit Sect could be traced all the way back to the ancient era of the Spirit Realm; they simply hadn’t found the time to showcase their true power. This time, he was determined to seize the opportunity and show everyone exactly what a great beast taming sect looked like.

As he spoke, he channeled a Secret Technique and retrieved ten Poison Needles, shooting them toward the two Nascent Souls of Medicine King Valley. Among these ten Ancient Needles, nine were replica Magical Treasures, and one was a genuine Ancient Treasure. The nine replicas served purely as misdirection. In the very next moment, this tactic proved effective once again. With a soft PIFF, the needle pierced through the Ten Thousand Spirits Furnace formed by the Tier Six Array in the sky, causing vast swaths of Spiritual Light to spill out. The Spirit Array began to tremble violently, looking as if the Spirit Shield could shatter at any second, which would ultimately spell the destruction of both the Array and the sect.

The two Nascent Souls of Medicine King Valley looked ashen-faced, their expressions etched with utter helplessness.

Spirit Beasts charged forward madly. The Tier Five Flood Dragon roared furiously, while the Tier Five Lion Qilin Beast engaged in a brutal massacre. Countless Blood Corpses also surged up the mountain in droves.

Just as the attackers believed victory was within their grasp, several Nascent Souls clad in Golden Robes materialized in the void. These individuals were armed with Magical Treasures and Array Banners. Had Ye Jingcheng been present, he would have recognized that these were the exact same Western Domain Nascent Souls who had participated in the Nascent Soul Trading Conference. The only difference was the addition of a scar-faced monk with eighteen precept dots burned into his scalp.

Behind them, True Monarch Bailian had arrived unnoticed at some point. Clutching numerous Array Banners in his hands, new Arrays began to manifest around Medicine King Mountain.

Tian Du True Monarch’s expression immediately changed drastically. ”You cannot intervene! You are Nascent Souls of Jinguang Temple!” he roared in anger. Guided by his flute, all the Spirit Beasts launched into a suicidal charge, while he swiftly regrouped with the Earth Flood Dragon, the Lion Qilin Beast, and Wu Xin True Monarch.

Truth be told, Tian Du True Monarch was already filled with regret. They had correctly deduced that Jinguang Temple itself could not intervene. However, they had failed to account for Jinguang Temple’s numerous Affiliated Forces. These Affiliated Forces were also formidable Nascent Soul Powers in the Western Domain, and their actions could not be officially pinned on Jinguang Temple. Furthermore, nearly all of the Penglai Sect’s Nascent Souls were currently occupied in the East Sea. His furious roar earlier was merely a desperate attempt to make the opposition hesitate. But evidently, the fact that these cultivators had shown up meant they were fully aware of this loophole. How could they possibly be swayed?

”Gu Chen Daoist, please assist me in exterminating these villains!” True Monarch Bailian shouted from the outside.

At this moment, he too harbored quite a bit of fury. Although he had made agreements and preparations with Divine Monarch Gu Meng, he never expected the Penglai Sect to possess an Exotic Treasure capable of locking down space, rendering him completely unable to teleport. His junior brother on the other side had most likely already been injured as a result, which naturally fueled his rage.

”Naturally,” True Monarch Gu Chen nodded, his eyes fixed entirely on the Earth Flood Dragon. A Tier Five Pure-blooded Earth Flood Dragon was a rare sight indeed. Even if they couldn’t force Tian Du True Monarch to stay, he was determined to slay this evil Flood Dragon.

”Split up and break out!” Tian Du True Monarch ordered. Though the Beast Spirit Sect was far from weak, and the Nascent Soul from the Celestial Corpse Sect had even brought along a Tier Five Corpse Emperor, they knew their defeat was already set in stone. The Penglai Sect had helped them lock down the Nascent Soul from Lingyun Peak, but that delay would not last much longer.

”Damn it! Didn’t your Celestial Corpse Sect claim to have gathered thorough intelligence? Is this what you call intelligence? You must take responsibility and cover our retreat this time!” Tian Du True Monarch cursed angrily at Profound Corpse True Monarch while rapidly assessing their options. If it hadn’t been for the Celestial Corpse Sect’s scheme, how could their Beast Spirit Sect have ended up in such a dire situation? However, despite Profound Corpse True Monarch only being in the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, he executed his Blood Escape with extraordinary proficiency, actually managing to slip out of the Array’s encirclement early on. This cowardly act incensed Tian Du True Monarch even further.

ROAR! As the group channeled their Magical Treasures, they saw that the Earth Flood Dragon in the distance had already been heavily surrounded by three cultivators. A radiant golden greatsword slashed viciously into the Earth Flood Dragon’s body, spilling vast amounts of golden Spirit Blood. The Earth Flood Dragon let out a tremendous howl of agony and crashed violently into the ground beneath. The instant it hit the earth, it immediately initiated an Earth Escape. Relying on its terrifyingly adept Earth Escape Skill, it barely managed to flee the scene.

However, Wu Xin True Monarch was not nearly as fortunate. He had been targeted by True Monarch Bailian. Consumed by rage, True Monarch Bailian brought out no less than three Lifebound Magical Treasures. Furthermore, the Arrays completely blanketed Wu Xin True Monarch’s position. This left him, despite possessing a Middle Stage of Nascent Soul cultivation base, with no choice but to watch in despair as the rest of the cultivators closed in around him. Still, he was incredibly decisive, immediately opting for Nascent Soul Separation and teleporting away to escape. Unwilling to let him go so easily, True Monarch Bailian hurled out a hundred-foot giant pagoda. Unfortunately, at that exact moment, a Flying Needle and a Tier Five Corpse Emperor charged forward, intercepting his giant pagoda for a brief moment. It was just enough time for the escaping Nascent Soul to vanish without a trace.

”Fuyun, Zi Zhao, you two stand guard! The rest of us will pursue!” True Monarch Bailian ordered. He was naturally unwilling to let the matter rest here.
