Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1005 - 699: Vassals

A profound surge of Spiritual Energy began to swirl around Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak, coalescing into magnificent bands of Spiritual Radiance that stretched across the sky, intermittently transforming into showers of Spiritual Rain.

All the Ye Family Cultivators within the oasis couldn't help but turn their gazes towards this awe-inspiring spectacle.

The advancement of a Tier Four Spiritual Vein to a Tier Five Spiritual Vein promised not only benefits for the Ye Family's elite Golden Core and Purple Mansion cultivators.

Those at the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages stood to gain even more significantly.

Their lower Cultivation levels, paradoxically, presented them with boundless future potential.

At this precise moment, before the Teleportation Array, Ye Xuejing's eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She surveyed the scene unfolding before her – wasn't this the very future they had once envisioned? Even though the Ye Family had not yet officially welcomed a Nascent Soul cultivator, she could already sense its imminent arrival.

Then, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The Spiritual Light permeating her entire being grew increasingly scattered. Ye Xueliang stood steadfastly by her side, pouring his Spiritual Energy into her with unwavering determination.

Initially, she managed a smile, circulating her Cultivation Technique with resolute effort to absorb the rampant Spiritual Energy.

However, upon glimpsing the familiar figure from her treasured memories – Ye Xuefan – soaring towards them from the distant peak,

she offered another smile and ceased her technique. A palpable sense of relief washed over her, and she made a concerted effort to straighten her aching back.

"Fourth Brother, the Ye Family's Female Cultivators are entirely capable of managing Communication Beasts. They possess the same discretion in keeping secrets and can equally serve as the Ye Family's ultimate strategic advantage!" Ye Xuejing's voice, transmitted through a sound transmission, was frail as she uttered these words.

Her once bright eyes started to cloud over, reflecting a profound weariness.

Throughout the intervening years, the Cyan Cloud Nunnery had provided substantial support, both overtly and covertly, to the Ye Family, establishing a considerable influence of its own. Had it not been for a shortage of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, the Cyan Cloud Nunnery could have rapidly ascended to the status of a Purple Mansion Influence.

"Xueliang, there's no need to hold me up any longer. I wish to rest for a short while now," Ye Xuejing stated, her voice remarkably calm this time.

A multitude of unspoken words lingered within her – words intended for the numerous Ye Family members she had never encountered, for that exceptionally proud and gifted genius of the Ye Family, and for the future stronghold of the Ye Family.

Yet, exhaustion had claimed her.

Ye Xueliang conjured a chair from his Storage Bag, and Ye Xuejing gratefully sank into it. In her final moments, she retrieved the Storage Bag from her waist, entrusted it to Ye Xueliang, and then, succumbing to fatigue, closed her eyes.

When Ye Xuefan arrived before her, he discovered that Ye Xuejing had already departed, a gentle smile gracing her lips.

The corners of her mouth remained softly curved upwards.

It was as if she were assuring Ye Xuefan that her past decisions had been validated.

Her establishment of the Cyan Cloud Nunnery had proven that the Ye Family's Female Cultivators could indeed ascend, reaching heights no less than the azure clouds.

"You... Xuejing... Second Brother and Fourth Brother have never once harbored any contempt for the Ye Family's Female Cultivators!" Ye Xuefan's voice was tinged with a mixture of rising anger and gentle reproach, which ultimately dissolved into deep regret and sorrow.

"Let us go. Fourth Brother will escort you home." Memories of their shared days studying in the Clan's educational halls surfaced in Ye Xuefan's mind, and his eyes welled up involuntarily.

He gently lifted Ye Xuejing onto his back, softly humming the familiar lullabies from their shared childhood.

Ye Xueliang followed closely behind, and the three of them proceeded towards Celestial Shadow Peak.

Their footsteps were steady and assured.

...

At some unrecorded moment, Ye Jingcheng materialized at the periphery, his gaze tracking their procession for an extended duration.

However, he ultimately refrained from pursuing them. That path, he reasoned, was a unique legacy of the Xue Generation, one that should be experienced and understood fully by them alone.

His attention then turned towards Ye Jing Hu, Ye Qingwen, Ye Xinghan, and the other assembled members.

Following a period of deliberation, the decision was made that Ye Jingyun and Ye Xingqun would remain stationed at Lingyun Peak, their combined strength deemed sufficient to safeguard the Ye Family's presence there.

As for Ye Xinghan, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Xingshui, the opportune moment had arrived for them to withdraw from Lingyun Peak, aligning with the natural conclusion of their lifespans.

Regarding the younger generation, including Ye Qingwen and Ye Qingfeng, the current Spiritual Vein opportunity was specifically tailored for their advancement. This initiative aimed to foster the significant growth of these Foundation Establishment cultivators, thereby augmenting the Ye Family's contingent of Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Logically, Ye Jing Hu should have also remained at Lingyun Peak; however, the impending Spiritual Energy Tide, a consequence of the Spiritual Vein's promotion, offered him a prime chance to attain the Foundation Establishment Peak stage.

Secondly, he could also tame a Tier Three Thunder Roc Great Demon as a Spirit Beast to prepare for his breakthrough to Purple Mansion.

"Uncle Xing Han, Uncle Xingshui, Seventh Sister, welcome to the Ye Family’s Celestial Phoenix Oasis!" Ye Jingcheng first looked toward the few clan elders remaining on Lingyun Peak and made an inviting gesture.

Ye Xinghan, Ye Xingshui, and the others all smiled at once.

Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingwen craned their necks to look around. As for these juniors, Ye Jingcheng didn’t speak quite so easily with them; he had rather the same air that Ye Haicheng once had toward the Jing Generation.

"All of you go make your preparations. In a few days there will be a Spiritual Energy Tide."

After giving Ye Jing Hu and the others some simple instructions, Ye Jingcheng’s gaze finally fell on the few from the Wan Family.

All ten of them were trembling with fear at this moment.

Because they were horrified to discover that, from a rough glance, the Ye Family had fifty or sixty Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And this was definitely not the full extent of the Ye Family’s strength.

Not to mention the Spirit Beasts, and as for the Ye Jingcheng before them, when they looked again, they could no longer clearly sense his Spiritual Energy at all.

This meant Ye Jingcheng was at least at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, and might even be at the Late Stage of Purple Mansion... or at Purple Mansion Peak!

"Wan Friend, the Sword Manual and information your Wan Family gave us back then—the Ye Family has fulfilled them today!"

"The Desert Sea has a full one hundred and four small oases. The Wan Family may freely choose one!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"The Wan Family is willing to be the Ye Family’s vassals for all generations!" Wan Chengjie directly dropped to his knees.

Some of the other Wan Family People had still been hesitant, but seeing Wan Chengjie so decisive, they hurriedly followed suit.

In the Cultivation Realm, weaklings kneeling to the strong was nothing rare, and at this moment both Ye Jingcheng and the Ye Family fully deserved it.

"Wan Daoist, that is naturally acceptable. Jing Feng, go make the arrangements. As it happens, the clan is auctioning oases at a high price. Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each oasis for the Wan Family to choose from, and be sure to guide them to pick a better one." Ye Jingcheng instructed.

Ye Jingfeng nodded repeatedly.

Among these ten from the Wan Family, quite a few were at Foundation Establishment, and with their skill in Swordsmanship and Insect Technique, they held great advantage over the Loose Cultivators of this Desert Sea.

With the Wan Family infiltrating as informants, the Ye Family would be able to control the Desert Sea Cultivation Realm far more easily.

Once Ye Jingfeng and the others left, Ye Jingcheng also turned to go.

In this moment, he ascended the peak; he was going to start refining Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

After all, both Ye Haiyu and Ye Haiyan had reached the point where they could break through to Purple Mansion.

The two of them were merely waiting for the Spiritual Energy Tide to arrive, so they could consolidate their Cultivation to Foundation Establishment Peak, then begin attempting the breakthrough.

Of course, before that, Ye Jingcheng went to his cave dwelling on Celestial Shadow Peak.

In front of the cave, Chu Yanqing had already transplanted the Spiritual Apricot Tree into the courtyard.

She was trimming the excess branches, carefully tending to the Spiritual Apricot Tree.

Bathed in the dense Spiritual Energy, the entire Apricot Tree looked even more radiant and full of life.

"Brother Cheng, you’ll probably be spending more time over here from now on. You won’t blame me for making this decision on my own, will you?" Chu Yanqing said with a faint smile.

Today, she was still wearing a green dress.

Just like back when she first appeared at the Ye Family, she was still beautifully ethereal.

"Of course not." Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and directly pulled Chu Yanqing into his arms.

"Thank you, Yanqing," Ye Jingcheng said.

"What are you thanking me for?" Chu Yanqing reflexively replied.

Of course she knew what Ye Jingcheng was referring to.

After all, the Ye Family had hidden much from her, and to this day Ye Jingcheng still hadn’t spoken to her about it alone.

But feeling Ye Jingcheng’s burning body temperature and his heavy breathing,

Chu Yanqing couldn’t help but murmur:

"Brother Cheng, I’m just afraid that one day, you’ll forget the Apricot Tree... forget me..."
