Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1012 - 705: Divine Soul Transformation, Celestial Illusion Daoist Robe (Two-in-One)

The Stone Spirit within the Grotto Heaven was practically brimming with excitement at this very moment. After all, it was ushering another Stone Spirit alongside for the very first time.

It even went so far as to manifest its Swallowing Python Spirit Shadow, a sight that so thoroughly terrified the Malachite Stone Spirit’s own spirit shadow that it promptly retreated back into the malachite, too scared to even budge.

This malachite had only recently gained sentience, you see, and was entirely incapable of discerning between friend and foe, making it exceptionally timid.

The Stone Spirit’s Swallowing Python Spirit Shadow did, admittedly, possess a rather intimidating appearance.

More importantly, it bore a striking resemblance to the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon. Catching the faint Divine Soul Fluctuation sent back by the Malachite Stone Spirit, Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a touch of exasperation.

The little thing had somehow conjured an image of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, the one that devoured Demon Beasts with terrifying ease.

"Grotto Heaven, could you please transform into a Cultivator's spirit shadow?" Ye Jingcheng addressed the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven, his voice carrying a patient tone.

"And try not to smother it. Perhaps bestow some Spiritual Rain upon it first!"

The Stone Spirit, appearing rather puzzled, nodded its assent and assumed a human-like form.

It then dutifully summoned a gentle shower of Spiritual Rain over the malachite. As anticipated, the Malachite Stone Spirit within began to pulse with renewed life.

This delightful development brought an ecstatic grin to the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit's face, as if it had stumbled upon an entirely new world.

Ye Jingcheng then produced some Wisdom Transformation Pills, presenting them to the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit. He instructed it to administer one periodically and also to impart the Spiritual Scripture to the Malachite Stone Spirit.

"These Defense Treasures shall be yours to devour. Both of you are on the cusp of a Divine Soul breakthrough, so make haste; you lot are currently lagging behind!" Ye Jingcheng spared a glance towards the Peach Wood and the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit, issuing this joint directive.

The former was a concern for Ye Jingcheng's own lifespan, while the latter held significance for the Grotto Heaven itself. Both entities were existences that rivaled his Lifebound Five Spirit Beasts in power.

Naturally, a bit of encouragement was in order.

The Stone Spirit actually possessed a significant advantage this time around. During the fierce conflict between the Ye Family and the Zhang Family, a considerable number of Tier Three Defense Treasures had been rendered unusable. Ye Jingcheng, astute as ever, had claimed them all.

After all, the Ye Family did not boast a large contingent of Purple Mansion cultivators. Should Magical Treasures sustain damage, there was currently no immediate need for their repair.

Instead, offering them to the Stone Spirit for consumption would accelerate its breakthrough.

There was even a possibility that Ye Jingcheng's Grotto Heaven could eventually surpass that of the Turtle Ancestor.

With a subtle flick of his wrist, he dismissed the two. Ye Jingcheng's gaze then shifted, settling once more upon his quintet of Spirit Beasts. The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon's aura had palpably intensified.

Its appetite, predictably, had also expanded. Meanwhile, the Red Flame Fox, its Soul Power bolstered, was diligently experimenting with the transition between the Purple Fire Heart Flame and the Cyan Yang Flame.

Each successive attempt proved smoother than the last, indicating that the Red Flame Fox's Cyan Yang Flame would undoubtedly manifest greater might in the future.

This was, of course, a cause for considerable satisfaction.

After a brief inspection of his treasured Lifebound Spirit Beasts, he turned his attention to the formidable Double-headed Turtle Demon King. At that precise moment, both of its reptilian heads were partially retracted.

Earlier, when Ye Jingcheng's gaze was not upon it, neither of the turtle heads dared to extend themselves.

The instant Ye Jingcheng's attention landed on it,

the two turtle heads finally grumbled, their voices laced with dejection:

"Master, that peculiar Soul Power is truly remarkable; it even amplifies the potency of our Wood Transformation Divine Light!" the Wood Head hastily explained, simultaneously projecting the Wood Transformation Divine Light as evidence.

The Water Head, initially taken aback, quickly recovered its senses upon hearing the Wood Head's explanation and chimed in eagerly beside it:

"Yes, yes, Master! It was precisely because it enhanced Wood Head's Divine Light that we were compelled..."

"Do you comprehend the implications of that statement?" Ye Jingcheng fixed his stern gaze upon the latter, causing both turtle heads to instinctively recoil.

At this juncture, Ye Jingcheng's imposing aura seemed to fill the very air.

"Master, I... our... our very Divine Souls are entirely within your grasp, are they not?" The Wood Head's words began to falter, its pronunciation becoming increasingly disjointed.

"Recite a Heavenly Dao Oath!" Ye Jingcheng commanded, his voice leaving no room for negotiation.

The Double-headed Turtle Demon King, obediently following Ye Jingcheng's explicit instructions, promptly complied with repeated affirmations.

"Very well, I shall not hold you accountable this time. However, I must issue a clear warning: the Ye Family is destined to ascend to the ranks of a Nascent Soul Clan sooner rather than later, and the Desert Sea shall remain firmly within the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain. Do not entertain any other foolish notions!" Ye Jingcheng reiterated his stern injunction.

He was also establishing a foundation for Ye Xuefan's future benefit, ensuring the Double-headed Turtle Demon King would act with reason when the critical moment arrived.

Once his arrangements for the Double-headed Turtle Demon King were complete, Ye Jingcheng's gaze shifted towards the distant Spirit Lake.

At this point, the seven Moon Spirit Pearl Great Demons had multiplied to eight. He was astonished to find that one of them had actually advanced to the Mid-stage Third Tier, nurturing a perfectly formed Water Spirit Bead within.

This discovery brought him even greater joy, confirming that segregating a separate Spirit Lake, specifically stocking it with Moonlight Stone, and cultivating Moon Spirit Pearls was indeed highly effective.

Moving forward, when the Ye Family engaged in cultivation, they could replicate this model precisely; even if Treasure Light became scarce later on, the outcomes would undoubtedly remain substantial.

As for his personal Grotto Heaven, his intention was to retain three Moon Spirit Pearl Great Demons.

This would allow them to cultivate Water Spirit Beads for Chu Yanqing while also serving to embellish the Spirit Lake.

Finally, Ye Jingcheng turned his attention to the six Star Pear Wood Great Demons.

"Xingda, in a few days, I will relocate you to Celestial Shadow Peak. A Tier Five Spiritual Vein resides there; it could very well present another opportunity for advancement," Ye Jingcheng declared, his tone gentle yet conveying an unyielding authority.

The foremost Star Pear Wood Demon instantly grasped his meaning.

It promptly led the other five Star Pear Wood Demons in pledging allegiance, vowing not to reveal even a single secret concerning the interior of Ye Jingcheng's Grotto Heaven.

They had long been mentally prepared for such an outcome.

Their anticipation was fueled by Ye Jingcheng's demeanor towards them.

Even during significant conflicts, their role had been limited to guarding the Peach Wood.

"Master, we implore you to permit Xiaoqi to remain!" Xingda nudged the other five elder Star Pear Wood Demons, yet deliberately refrained from urging the remaining young Star Pear Wood Demon.

At this precise moment, the child it had transformed into, uncharacteristically, was not engaged in any playful antics.

Instead, its gaze was fixed upon the six Big Wood Demons.

"If Xiaoqi is allowed to stay, we would gladly exchange it for any other member of the Ye Family without reservation. We have languished within the Celestial Mountain Sect Secret Realm for far too long; hope has all but vanished for us!" Xingda continued earnestly.
