Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Because the Ye Family had seen quite a few members crossing the tribulation over the years, their Tribulation Crossing Mountains had expanded from two to four.

The place where Ye Qingfeng had landed at this moment was precisely the Second Thunder Tribulation Mountain.

Unlike Ye Jing Hu, who broke through alongside his Spirit Beast, Ye Qingfeng’s Black Crow obviously possessed weaker talent than her and was slightly slower. However, it was estimated that in a few more years, the Black Crow would also break through to Tier Four and become another Demon King of the Ye Family.

The reason she was on the Second Tribulation Crossing Mountain was that only the Tier Five Compound Array on the First Thunder Tribulation Mountain could handle a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation. The rest were all Tier Four Tribulation Crossing Arrays. Normally, Ye Qingfeng could have used the First Tribulation Crossing Mountain to cross the tribulation for greater safety, but since the Red Flame Fox could break through at any moment, she naturally couldn’t choose the first one. Moreover, for a Golden Core Cultivator breaking through, a Tier Four Array was already sufficient.

Compared to the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation was much weaker and had fewer bolts. When a normal Purple Mansion peak cultivator broke through to the Golden Core stage, even if they condensed a Top-Grade Golden Core, they would only face four bolts of Thunder Tribulation. Ye Qingfeng didn’t dare claim she would absolutely condense a Top-Grade Golden Core, so she could only look up at the sky and pray that four bolts would descend.

Her Leiyun seemed to overlap with the Red Flame Fox’s, appearing even more powerful. That stifling pressure caused the usually cheerful Ye Qingfeng to frown deeply.

The Thunder Tribulation wasn’t just a physical ordeal; it also included a Heart Demon Tribulation, which Ye Qingfeng was still somewhat worried about. She hadn’t performed exceptionally well in the Illusion Array previously.

However, when she saw Ye Qingnian flying over from a distance—still at the Purple Mansion Peak—she inexplicably felt a surge of confidence.

“Sister Feng’Er, you can do it!” Ye Qingnian even sent her a voice transmission.

This caught Ye Qingfeng off guard. In the past, Ye Qingnian had never referred to her as his older sister. They frequently argued about who was the older sibling. This was the first time Ye Qingnian had yielded to that title. It was obvious that he wanted her to break through successfully and was trying to boost her confidence.

“As if I could fail,” Ye Qingfeng muttered, pursing her lips. Her eyes filled with determination as she leaped into the air.

A crimson flame emerged from her body. It was precisely Ye Qingfeng’s Lifebound Divine Techniques Spiritual Fire, the Red Phoenix Fire Seed. At this moment, she recalled the scene of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon devouring a Thunder Tribulation. Today, she wanted to replicate that feat and perform her own Fire Seed Devouring Thunder.

Soon, the first bolt of Thunder Tribulation descended.

Out of caution, Ye Qingfeng still activated a Thunder Tower to block some of the impact before drawing her Tier Four Spiritual Treasure, the Red Li Sword, and slashing furiously at the lightning. Before long, the Thunder Tribulation—already weakened by the array—was split open by her strike. The scattered Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power erupted like fireworks, surging vigorously and churning endlessly in the air.

However, Ye Qingfeng’s Red Phoenix Fire Seed was no ordinary flame. It swiftly shot into the sky, swallowing all the Thunder Attribute True Essence. The Spiritual Fire surged and roiled slightly, its color even beginning to shift. But a moment later, it descended back as a Spiritual Fire in the shape of a Red Phoenix, its feathers noticeably more defined.

“SCREECH!” A faint phoenix cry even echoed from it.

Ye Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. She could naturally sense that her Fire Seed had grown stronger. Lightning and fire inherently shared commonalities, let alone the power of a Thunder Tribulation.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief while feeling genuinely happy for Ye Qingfeng. After all, she could potentially grow much stronger because of this Thunder Tribulation.

Soon, three bolts of Thunder Tribulation dissipated, and it was time for the fourth.

Suddenly, fiery light surged within the Leiyun, giving everyone a fright.

Fiery light appearing within a Thunder Tribulation! This should have been the legendary Wind-Fire Immeasurable Body Tribulation, which mostly appeared when one’s physical body broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Yet, it was appearing right now during a Golden Core Thunder Tribulation!

However, after a careful inspection, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. This Thunder Tribulation wasn’t the terrifying Wind-Fire Immeasurable Body Tribulation, but rather a manifestation of excessively dense Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy resulting in a Celestial Thunder Hidden Fire. Naturally, this was also related to Ye Qingfeng’s Spirit Body and Fire Seed.

Even so, this Celestial Thunder Hidden Fire was extraordinary. The Ye Family’s array collapsed in an instant, shattering into Spirit Light Fragments like a broken mirror. Fortunately, Ye Qingfeng was well-prepared. She summoned four Magical Treasures at once and condensed several Fire Attribute Secret Techniques, barely managing to weaken it by more than half.

Yet, the Thunder Tribulation retained formidable power as it continued blasting toward her.

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng went all out. She bit her finger, executed a Secret Technique, and channeled a massive amount of True Essence via her Communication Beast technique before activating the Red Phoenix Fire Seed. The Fire Seed suddenly expanded dozens of times, resembling a Celestial Fire Red Phoenix. It screeched as its fiery light illuminated the world, swallowing the lightning in the blink of an eye.

Lightning and fire intertwined in the sky. For a time, the celestial thunder didn’t seem like thunder, and the celestial fire didn’t seem like fire. They tangled together endlessly, and Ye Qingfeng’s expression shifted continuously.

This Lifebound Spirit Fire was deeply connected to her. If the Fire Seed were extinguished, she wouldn’t die, but her Cultivation would suffer severe damage, and her Golden Core might even shatter. Ultimately, however, the Thunder Tribulation dissipated, and Ye Qingfeng successfully completed her Tribulation Crossing.

As the thunder finally vanished, Ye Qingfeng stood in place and closed her eyes. Clearly, her Heart Demon Tribulation had arrived the instant the physical ordeal ended.

Opening her eyes, Ye Qingfeng found herself in the Celestial Roc Ridge once again. The Great Crowned Phoenix was also there, the illusionary scene feeling all too familiar. She sank into it briefly, but at the same time, the Gold Condensing Pill and Primordial Demon Jade took effect, sending a wave of icy coolness sweeping through her body.

“If this were my first time, you might have had a chance. Unfortunately, this is the fourth,” Ye Qingfeng said, shaking her head.

She had stayed in the Celestial Dream Butterfly Mansion for quite some time, experiencing this exact scenario three times already. Her earlier concerns were born of the thought that the Thunder Tribulation might employ new tricks. However, it was evident that this Heart Demon Tribulation was no different than usual. Although powerful, it lacked adaptability; it always revolved around her parents, her clan, and Qingnian.

Of course, this was also because Ye Qingfeng didn’t overcomplicate things. Her life in the Ye Family revolved simply around Artifact Refining, Cultivation, and visiting elders and her parents. She didn’t harbor many distracting thoughts, making it somewhat difficult for the Heart Demon to invade. She was practically devoid of mental burdens or pressure.

Once her breakthrough succeeded, she retracted her Spiritual Fire. She had originally planned to retract the array, only to find that it had been shattered completely. Grinning broadly, she turned to claim credit from Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing.

“Mother, Father, I succeeded.”

“You did well, but you still need to work hard,” Ye Jingcheng said, not stingy with his praise. After all, this was the Ye Family’s tenth Golden Core Cultivator. Moreover, she wasn’t even a hundred and thirty years old; her future potential was immense.

Additionally, Ye Qingfeng hadn’t undergone a Second Soul Injection yet. Once she did, and with more Phoenix Bird Fire Attribute Spirit Beasts, her Cultivation speed would increase even further. Therefore, Ye Jingcheng had already set his sights on the Nascent Soul stage for her. Ideally, she would break through before reaching two hundred and fifty years old.

“Congratulations!” Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, and the others were exceptionally delighted, offering their felicitations one after another. They each brought out their congratulatory gifts.

The Ye Family was developing on multiple fronts and possessed abundant resources. Whether it was the clan members in the Desert Sea or the Eastern Domain’s East Wuyu Sea Domain, they didn’t lack treasures or resources, so everyone presented exceptionally valuable gifts.

Among them, Ye Xuecang’s gift was astonishingly a Spirit Egg.

“This is the offspring of the Three-colored Peacock King. There is only one such Demon King in the entire East Wuyu Sea Domain, and this is its Spirit Egg,” Ye Xuecang said. He had been slaying demons in the East Wuyu Sea Domain over the years, naturally gaining a bountiful harvest. His aura was gradually stabilizing, and just like Chu Yanqing, he had begun attempting to reach the Golden Core Peak.

“Thank you, Second High Ancestor,” Ye Qingfeng said. She was incredibly fond of it and offered repeated thanks.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s Treasure Book lit up. This three-colored peacock was a Spiritual Sparrow with Fire, Wood, and Water attributes. It indeed possessed incredible talent with four layers of Treasure Light, though the Advanced Pill Formula for this three-colored peacock only started at Tier Two.

“Alright, go consolidate your realm,” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile, prompting Ye Qingfeng to stabilize her Cultivation since she had just broken through.

Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng felt slightly disappointed. She hadn’t finished collecting all her treasures yet! But since Ye Jingcheng had spoken, she obediently returned to her cave dwelling to continue consolidating. Although the Ye Family’s breakthrough process was highly refined—with the aid of arrays, various Spirit Pills, and Spirit Jade preventing Cultivation from being superficial—she had still just broken through. A solid consolidation would definitely be beneficial.

Seeing this scene, the group of clan elders couldn’t help but smile.

“Qingnian has to work hard too,” Ye Haicheng said, looking over at Ye Qingnian. Naturally, his words held a double meaning.

Fortunately, Ye Qingnian wasn’t a naive boy wet behind the ears anymore. He didn’t blush, replying calmly, “Eldest Ancestor is right to lecture me. This grandson will definitely work hard.”

While the few of them were chatting and laughing, bursts of fiery light appeared in the distance at the Red Flame Fox’s Seclusion cave dwelling.

The first to emerge was the golden Sunflower Spirit Fire. Quite a few people in the Ye Family possessed this flame. After all, the Sunflower Spirit Wood Demon had already been nurtured to the Tier Three Peak, and the Sunflower Spirit Seeds matured once every twenty years. Yet, the golden Sunflower Spirit Fire right now resembled a blazing sun. It condensed into a massive sunflower shape, transforming into streaks of flame that scattered in all directions.

After the golden Spiritual Fire finished manifesting, the Purple Spirit Fire appeared. The Purple Fire was a Heart Fire, abruptly manifesting everywhere in the void in an immensely shocking scene.

Following the Purple Fire came the Black Flame, and then the Earth Attribute Spiritual Fire.

The last to appear was the cyan-colored Cyan Yang Flame. The moment the Cyan Yang Flame emerged, everyone felt a sense of crisis rise in their hearts, as if their entire bodies were about to combust.

“Everyone, step back,” Ye Jingcheng commanded. With a wave of his hand, he cast down a Layer of Barrier.

The anomaly accompanying the Red Flame Fox’s breakthrough was not inferior to the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s in the slightest; the feeling of palpitation it induced was even greater. This Cyan Yang Flame was also clearly more terrifying.

Fortunately, at that moment, a furnace suddenly materialized in the void, pulling all five streams of Spiritual Fire into it.

A Five-tailed Red Flame Fox instantly appeared in the air. The reflection of a furnace gleamed in its eyes, and its fur resembled raging flames, constantly swirling with five colors. It let out a low whimper, and countless fireballs immediately exploded in the void.

A Five-tailed Demon Infant landed on its glabella.

A berserk Nascent Soul aura instantly expanded outward, and the Leiyun began rolling relentlessly. It ultimately covered the entire Oasis, a testament to the sheer scale of the Thunder Tribulation.

At this moment, countless Beast Shadows over the Beast Valley vied to screech out, as if paying respects to their Emperor. The Black Crow Race and the Three-Eyed Race, in particular, all soared into the sky. This was a carnival belonging to the Fire Attribute Demon Beasts.
