Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

With the Teleportation Array, things were much more convenient for the Ye Family. After transferring twice through the Desert Sea, they arrived at Lingyun Peak.

Because the Li Family had been waiting for news from the Ye Family, Li Shangwu had arranged for all the Core Cultivators of the Li Family to wait in the Lingyun Market.

Of course, part of the reason was that they were still afraid of being harassed by the Celestial Corpse Sect, just like before. However, having suffered a silent loss last time, the Celestial Corpse Sect had suddenly kept a much lower profile.

Even True Monarch Qinghe of the Qinghe Sect and True Monarch Yuanze of the Celestial Water Sect hadn’t stirred up much trouble lately.

It seemed the entire Eastern Domain had quieted down. Yet, everyone knew this was merely the calm before the storm. Whether True Monarch Bai Yao successfully broke through or not, the Eastern Domain would inevitably be embroiled in fierce battles in the future.

Inside the Ye Family Tavern, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuefan, and several others were gathered. Before long, Li Shangwu arrived with his people from the Li Family.

”Senior...” Li Shangwu began, still feeling somewhat apprehensive. After all, Ye Jingcheng had only recently broken through. If the refining process failed, all of his previous preparations would be for nothing. He would then have to seek out the Taiyi Sect again, a scenario he absolutely did not want to see.

The fewer people who knew about the Teleportation Array, the better.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t answer. Instead, he took out a piece of Spatial Jade, opening his palm to show it to Li Shangwu.

”Senior, your divine techniques are truly vast,” Li Shangwu praised. Upon seeing the mysterious Spiritual Aura radiating from the Spatial Jade, his suspended heart finally settled.

However, he quickly began to worry about the East Wuyu Archipelago and the Secret Realm again.

This step was naturally a risky move for the Li Family. In their original plan, it would have been best to wait until they had two or three Golden Core cultivators before teleporting over. But the situation in the Eastern Domain could change at any moment. Speaking of Divine Monarch Bai Yao, he had been in Seclusion for nearly seventy years; if he was fast, he might already be on the verge of breaking through. Therefore, they had no choice but to take this step now.

”Senior, do you have any recommended locations to set up this Teleportation Array?” Li Shangwu asked.

In truth, he already had a place in mind—the Li Clan Mountain, naturally. But since Ye Jingcheng and the Ye Family were taking the lead now, it wasn’t his place to declare it directly. Even if Ye Jingcheng said he wanted to place it on Lingyun Peak, Li Shangwu would have no choice but to swallow his protests and accept it.

”Let’s go with the location you’ve chosen. After all, this Teleportation Array was discovered by your Li Family,” Ye Jingcheng said generously.

Of course, this wasn’t out of the Ye Family’s sense of loyalty. Rather, they simply didn’t intend to place the Teleportation Array on Lingyun Peak. Ye Jingcheng was worried about potential traps; connecting it directly to Lingyun Peak would carry a much greater risk.

Once they confirmed there were no traps, the Ye Family could simply set up another Teleportation Array elsewhere. Now that they could set up the Spatial Jade, all they lacked were a few Void Nether Crystals. As for the Li Family’s Teleportation Array, since the Li Family also knew its Spatial Node, the Ye Family was somewhat concerned that the node might be exposed. If someone else set up a Teleportation Array, they could potentially link to it. Therefore, it was simpler to just let the Li Family hold onto it permanently.

”This junior is a bit worried that the Li Family members won’t be able to make it over in time, so I was planning to set it up on the Li Family’s Spirit Mountain...” Li Shangwu said nervously.

”That works. We’ll set it up on your Li Clan Mountain.” Ye Jingcheng looked at Li Shangwu’s expression. Seeing his expectant look, he nodded generously once more.

Li Shangwu was immediately overjoyed. The group traveled through the night, arriving at the Li Clan Mountain, where the Teleportation Array was quickly set up. Because Ye Xuefan was present, setting up the Teleportation Array was exceptionally easy.

However, the time for teleportation needed to be carefully considered.

”Let’s choose the hour of the Dragon,” Ye Jingcheng finally decided.

Most Demon Beasts preferred to rest during the day and come out at night. The ocean waves were also at their fiercest during this time, naturally making it the best time to conceal the fluctuations of the teleportation.

The first batch of people to use the Teleportation Array were all Li Family members. The Ye Family members would follow in the second batch, specifically Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu. The former was a Body Cultivator, while the latter also practiced as an Insect Cultivator.

He had also brought numerous swarms of Soul-Devouring Insects and Spirit-Killing Locusts from the family. Ordinary Demon Beasts would flee in terror just at the sight of that Chongyun, let alone actually face them in combat.

This time, the Ye Family’s preparations were exceptionally thorough.

The summer night felt a bit long. The faint chirping of insects made the several people from the Li Family feel somewhat irritable. The starlight slowly faded, and the hour of the Dragon finally arrived.

Accompanied by the Spiritual Light of the Teleportation Array, the cultivators of the Li Family finally entered the East Wuyu Archipelago. After confirming that the Soul Talismans of the several Li Family members had not shattered, Ye Jingcheng turned to look at Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu.

”Uncle Xue Liang, Uncle Xuefu, these are the Small Celestial Gate Talismans refined by Yun Xuan. I don’t need them, so you two should take them.” Although he had been preparing for a long time, Ye Jingcheng still took out two Spirit Talismans and handed them over.

These Small Celestial Gate Talismans could absolutely save their lives at critical moments, so neither of them declined the offer.

Of course, Li Shangwu watched Ye Jingcheng with a deeply moved expression. Naturally, he coveted these Spirit Talismans as well. Although he didn’t know the exact name of this Spirit Talisman, the fluctuations it emitted were somewhat similar to an Array-Breaking Talisman, yet distinctly different. In his mind, he was already calculating what treasures the Li Family had that could be traded for it.

However, seeing Ye Jingcheng’s extremely solemn expression, Li Shangwu found it hard to speak up. He could only watch as the Teleportation Array lit up once more, and the Upper-grade Spirit Stones on the spatial platform dimmed in tandem.

Several people disappeared from the Teleportation Array.

Deep within the East Sea lay the East Wuyu Archipelago. Dawn broke exceptionally early over the Sea Domain. Thus, even though it was only the hour of the Dragon, it was already bright daylight.

The other end of the Teleportation Array was located inside an underground hall, clearly situated beneath a massive island.

Several Li Family cultivators stood off to the side, keeping as quiet as winter cicadas, not daring to move a muscle.

”There’s a Tier Four Demon King,” one of them whispered cautiously.

Having spent many years on the Hidden Peak, Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang were highly experienced in handling such matters. Upon seeing the situation, they first took out the Ten Thousand Miles Mirror they had previously obtained from the Qinghe Sect.

Ye Xuefu took charge of observing with the Magical Treasure, while Ye Xueliang guarded the Teleportation Array, ensuring that the Spirit Stones were already securely in place. If any problems arose, they could teleport away at the very first sign of danger.

Fortunately, after scanning the area, Ye Xuefu was overjoyed to find that there were no other powerful Demon Emperors within a hundred miles.

This archipelago consisted of more than twenty islands. The most powerful entity here was a Golden Light Crane Demon King. It was at the Late Stage of Fourth Tier. Of course, it wasn’t on the island they were currently on. The Demon King on their island was a Cyan Light Jade Cloud Bat, seemingly at the Mid-stage Fourth Tier.

Overall, the entire archipelago had a total of two Demon Kings. However, there were quite a few Tier Three Great Demons and Ordinary Demon Beasts.

For the Li Family, this was still a difficult situation. But for the Ye Family, this was actually relatively good news.

The Ye Family’s requirement for this place was an abundance of Demon Beasts—without enough, they couldn’t perform the Soul Sacrifice. Yet, they couldn’t be too strong either. If they were too powerful, the Ye Family would be forced to constantly strike and relocate.

Taking everything into account, it also seemed that these two Demon Kings didn’t get along with each other. This indicated that the Demon Emperors, or even Demon Saints in this region, didn’t govern very strictly.

”There’s no need to worry,” Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu said, waving their hands.

Ye Xuefu began the Array Formation, while Ye Xueliang took out the Ye Family’s Spirit Puppets.

This time, aside from the Corpse Emperor, the Ye Family had also brought two Tier Four Spirit Puppets and the Double-headed Turtle Demon King. The Double-headed Turtle had already broken through once while with the Ye Family, and it was now at the Mid-stage Fourth Tier.

As Ye Xueliang retrieved the Spirit Puppets, he also draped a Concealment Daoist Robe over himself and slowly made his way toward the Cloud Bat Demon King.

The Cloud Bat Demon King seemed to have just finished hunting not long ago. It was currently digesting in silence, hanging upside down in a cave on the other side of the island.

After taking out the Array components, Ye Xuefu pulled out a Stone Coffin, along with the Magical Treasure used to control the Corpse Emperor. Since this was a Magical Treasure for Corpse Manipulation, even a Purple Mansion Cultivator could briefly control it for a short time.

If he were fighting a Demon Emperor, Ye Xuefu wouldn’t have much confidence—after all, his Cultivation was too low. But if he was only facing a Demon King, he was brimming with confidence!
