Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

In Coiling Heaven, a dim, dark light filled the entire sky. The howling Primordial Magnetic Power formed bone-piercing Gang Winds.

Two figures stood within, wearing grayish-white Daoist robes. Panting heavily, they each cast their spells.

Gang Thunder surged in the palm of one person. With three fingers pointed forward, the Thunder roared as it crashed down. Seeing this, the figure opposite him did not hesitate. Activating the Spiritual Light in her hand, it instantly transformed into a massive Ice Dragon. Accompanied by a terrifying Dragon Roar, it wreaked havoc as it charged forward.

Along the way, shaking Ice Crystals intertwined with three streaks of Five Elements Gang Thunder.

”BOOM!” A massive explosion rang out.

Four-colored Spiritual Light exploded, enveloping more than half of the Grotto Heaven. In the end, the Gang Thunder was clearly superior. The Ice Dragon shattered, turning into countless Ice Crystals. At this moment, a massive golden arm swung a club down, smashing the Gang Thunder into fragmented Spiritual Light that dissipated into the air.

”This Vermilion Bird is truly unparalleled in its dominance,” Ye Jing Hu couldn’t help but mutter.

These two figures were none other than Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi, who were tempering themselves here.

Ye Jing Hu’s Spirit Beasts were Lei Hu, the Thunder Flood Dragon, and the Thunder Roc. However, including himself, they were all at the Early Stage of Fourth Tier. On the other hand, Ye Yunxi only had a Tier Four Silver Moon Half-Dragon that had just succeeded in its advancement. Naturally, she was no match for Ye Jing Hu and had to rely on the Spirit Beasts given by Ye Jingcheng.

To balance their strength, Ye Jingcheng lent the Vermilion Bird to Ye Yunxi and the White-Browed Cyan Wolf to Ye Jing Hu.

The result did not exceed their expectations. After its advancement, the Vermilion Bird was truly unparalleled in its dominance. With a Magical Treasure bolstered by its Golden Eye in one hand, it could smash everything in its path. Naturally, this left Ye Jing Hu utterly convinced of its power.

At this moment, a rift opened in the void, and a figure in a cyan robe stepped through.

”Eleventh Brother.”

”Eleventh Uncle.”

The newcomer was Ye Jingcheng.

”Get ready to come out. The Nascent Soul gathering is about to begin,” Ye Jingcheng said.

It had been two years since he last met Xingyuan True Monarch. Over the past two years, there had actually been quite a few frictions at the border. Fortunately, it was just back-and-forth skirmishes between the Affiliated Forces. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Ye Jingcheng had intervened a few times, though his gains were minor. Now, two years later, the start of the Nascent Soul gathering marked the battle that would determine the ownership of several Mansions.

”Alright. It’s a pity we don’t have enough time. It would be great if we had another twenty years or so,” Ye Jing Hu nodded, his face full of confidence. However, what he found regrettable was that this confidence was built upon the Vermilion Bird. Since he possessed three Thunder Beasts as Communication Beasts and had the family’s supply of Spirit Pills, coupled with that pot of Spirit Wine and the Realm-Breaking Spirit Pill, he was confident he could break through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core within twenty years. Once he reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core, he believed that even without the Vermilion Bird, he wouldn’t have much to fear from an ordinary cultivator at the Golden Core Peak.

Ye Jing Hu stored away his three Spirit Beasts. The Vermilion Bird also arrived in front of him, and after recalling it, he walked to the side and gathered the thirty-odd Thunder Rhinoceros Insects crawling there.

Among these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, there was one Tier Four Insect King, while the rest were at the Late Stage of Third Tier and the Tier Three Peak. Do not underestimate these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects. When formed into an Insect Array, their power was immense. Furthermore, unlike ordinary Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, these all possessed Hidden Wings, making them extraordinary. They were the descendants of the Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects from years ago.

”Alright,” Ye Yunxi said, recalling her Silver Moon Half-Dragon and White-Browed Cyan Wolf.

Compared to two years ago, she was much more confident. Even though under the suppression of the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit, the power of her Water Dragon Roar Secret Technique seemed much weaker than the Five Elements Divine Thunder, the truth was that she was far more affected by the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit here. Additionally, Ye Jingcheng’s former Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Celestial River Bead, had been handed over to her after being reforged and upgraded by Chu Yanqing.

Ye Yunxi was confident in defeating ordinary Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivators. If she also factored in the White-Browed Cyan Wolf and the Roc Fish, she wouldn’t even fear those at the Golden Core Peak. Moreover, in the actual grand competition, Ye Yunxi would only need to participate in the arena battles and defend the ring once. After all, they were participating alongside the Profound Puppet Sect. The Spirit Puppets of the Profound Puppet Sect were by no means weak.

The three of them walked out of the Grotto Heaven and appeared before a towering Spirit Mountain.

To the left of this Spirit Mountain was Xiaoshan, while to its right were Profound Mountain and Puppet Mountain. This mountain was now named Sand Mountain. The name was simple, yet it easily brought the Celestial Sand Sect to mind.

This Spirit Mountain had also been relocated here with the help of Mansion Master Lu of Xiaoshan Prefecture, because the future main base of the Ye Family would be in Wangqing Prefecture. Thus, the establishment of this Spirit Mountain was somewhat hasty and not highly prioritized. Its peaks were simply aligned to mirror Profound Mountain and Puppet Mountain.

It wasn’t like Ye Feng, which the Ye Family had established next to Wangqing Prefecture. That mountain had required a tremendous amount of effort, from the selection of the mountain body to the arrangement of the Arrays and the derivation of the Spirit Veins. Fortunately, all of this was managed by Wang Shiyun; otherwise, the Ye Family might not have planned to construct it on such a grand scale.

”Is this our Ye Family’s Sand Mountain?” Even though it was casually arranged, Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi still felt a sense of shock and excitement.

Once upon a time, it took them a great deal of effort just to secure a single shop in the Xiaoshan Market. Now, they were about to become one of the backers of the Xiaoshan Market. Furthermore, a Teleportation Array had been set up on this Spirit Mountain, allowing them to teleport directly to Sha Huang Mountain in a single step, making it much more convenient than before.

Of course, the three of them did not need to head to Sha Huang Mountain at this moment.

The venue for this Nascent Soul gathering was located in Junhe Prefecture, where Liu Zhou State Governor resided. The dominant power in Junhe Prefecture was precisely the Jiang Family, and it was considered the wealthiest prefecture in the entire Southern Wilderness Province. Of course, the share that the Jiang Family of Junhe Prefecture could obtain was much smaller. They didn’t receive fifty percent of the profits, as the State Governor still took a significant portion. Following convention, the Mansion Master of Junhe Prefecture would choose the Jiang Family. Even if other Nascent Soul Powers wanted to challenge the arena to seize it, they wouldn’t succeed.

When the three arrived at the Sand Mountain’s main hall, Ye Xingliu had already landed there.

”Jingcheng, these are the people who will be attending the Nascent Soul gathering together,” Ye Xingliu said.

Behind him stood over a dozen people, all of whom were heading to Junhe Prefecture. The majority of them were young Ye Family Members, going to broaden their horizons in the largest Mansion in the Southern Wilderness Province.

However, to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, there was a particular woman among them. This woman had a pair of enchanting eyes and was exceptionally charming. If it weren’t for the fact that she was wearing the robes of the Celestial Sand Sect, many would probably mistake her for one of the Core Cultivators of the Hegu Sect. Her appearance and Cultivation were not inferior to the core Purple Mansion cultivators of the Hegu Sect in the slightest.

She was exactly the woman he had saved in the Zhu Family back then, Zhu Wenjing.

When the Zhu Family was saved back then, Zhu Wenjing joined the Celestial Sand Sect and even offered to be his concubine. Ye Jingcheng hadn’t agreed at the time, thinking it was merely a young girl’s joke. Yet, after so many years had passed, Zhu Wenjing had steadfastly remained at Sha Huang Mountain. Now, her Cultivation had impressively just entered the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion. If one didn’t count the Ye Family Members, she was already the strongest native Cultivator in the Celestial Sand Sect.

Noticing Ye Jingcheng’s confusion, Ye Xingliu explained from the side, ”Zhu Daoist defeated the other competitors and secured this spot.”

They were naturally aware of Zhu Wenjing’s feelings. But to the Ye Family Members, there was no harm in Ye Jingcheng taking a few more wives. Besides, since she had indeed defeated the others, it wouldn’t be right to go back on their word over such a trivial matter.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunxi smiled, as if she were watching something amusing unfold.

However, Ye Jingcheng’s surprise and hesitation lasted only for a moment before he waved his hand.

”Everyone, let’s move out!”

Hearing this, the group headed toward Xiaoshan’s Teleportation Array.

The Ye Family possessed Teleportation Arrays in Xiaoshan Prefecture, Tianshu Mansion, and Wangqing Prefecture, but none further out. A Teleportation Array required protection on both sides; aside from the initial setup, it also needed continuous guarding. Moreover, the construction costs of a Teleportation Array were quite high. Therefore, to travel to other Mansions, they only needed to use the Teleportation Arrays belonging to the Righteous Sect.
