Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1053 - 734: The Wind Flood Dragon’s Interrogation and the Egg-Stealing Flood Dragon (Two-in-One)

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon sensed an unusual aura belonging to a Flood Dragon. However, it was certain that the original Flood Dragon was no longer present. Its Divine Sense cautiously probed the area again, and in the next moment, it detected two substantial Spirit Beast Eggs hidden beneath the island. Adjacent to the Spirit Beast Eggs, several stalks of Dragon Scale Grass were growing. Dragon Scale Grass is a Tier Two Spirit Grass, not particularly rare; its renown stems from its exclusive habitat within Flood Dragon nests. Therefore, the identity of the spirit beasts within these eggs was self-evident. The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon's radiant eyes began to waver. Unlike Ye Jingcheng, who casually nurtured spirit beasts, Ye Jingyu offered rewards to the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon based on its performance, as Ye Jingyu was neither an Alchemy Master nor particularly wealthy. Even when the Flood Dragon achieved a breakthrough, Ye Jingyu would set up an Array for it, and only after it successfully broke the Array would it receive a reward. Consequently, its mind was exceptionally active. Observing that no other Flood Dragons appeared to be disturbed, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon also descended slowly towards the seabed, resembling a Flood Dragon returning to its lair. As all the other Flood Dragons resided on the inner island, no one from the outside could possibly detect a Flood Dragon entering the nest. The anticipated pressure didn't materialize, causing the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon's tail to flick incessantly. After meticulously exploring the area step by step, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon plunged into the depths. In the ensuing moment, it gulped down the two Spirit Beast Eggs in a single go and swiftly made its escape using Water Escape. At this juncture, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was filled with immense excitement. This marked the first occasion it had discovered a completely deserted island devoid of any Spirit Beasts, not even any beast dependents. Furthermore, it detected no Demon Beasts in pursuit. Flood Dragons are distinct from pythons or serpents; their pride sometimes leads them to act independently, much like the Silver Moon Demon King, who frequently expelled other Great Demons from Silver Moon Lake. Clearly, this particular Flood Dragon was also accustomed to solitary actions and might have been conscripted this time, thus presenting an opportunity for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon. After absconding with the Flood Dragon eggs, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon proceeded towards the outer regions. This was the extent of its actions; it did not actively seek to devour more Flood Dragon eggs. Unprotected Flood Dragon nests are a rarity, and not all of them contain Spirit Beast Eggs; some hold young Flood Dragons. These young Flood Dragons begin at least at Tier Two Peak. While the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon could overpower them, their silent acquisition was difficult. Undertaking too much would also be excessively conspicuous. If it provoked the other Flood Dragons, its previous accomplishments could be easily undone, leading to the Flood Dragon's demise and the dispersion of its soul. After enduring for the better part of the day, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon finally departed the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea and set its course towards Ye Jingyu's location. However, as it continued its pursuit, a Tier Two Blue Water Whale was also in flight. To the numerous Flood Dragons observing, it appeared as though the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was hunting the Blue Water Whale. The chase and evasion spanned several thousand miles. Eventually, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon closed the distance with the Blue Water Whale. Ye Jingyu emerged from the deep sea, preparing to recall the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon. But the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon regurgitated the two eggs. "Master, exchange them for a potent Spirit Pill!" The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was unaware of the specific name, Advancement Pill. However, it understood that to metamorphose into a genuine Flood Dragon, a powerful Spirit Pill was essential! Its memory was sharp; the previous time it was rewarded for discovering an island and some Sea Cloud Bird Eggs for Ye Jingyu. This time, having found two Flood Dragon Eggs and refraining from consuming them, it naturally longed for an Advancement Pill to ingest. "This..." Ye Jingyu was momentarily taken aback but swiftly extended his sleeve, retrieving the two Spirit Eggs. "Upon our return, I will request one from Jingcheng!" Ye Jingyu was utterly delighted. If his assessment was accurate, these two Spirit Beast Eggs were unequivocally pure-blood Water Attribute Flood Dragon Spirit Beast Eggs. They held the potential to hatch into Tier Two Peak Demon Beasts, or with careful nurturing, possibly even Tier Three Great Demons. Coupled with Ye Jingcheng's Advancement Pill, the Ye Family could welcome several more Flood Dragons. The Ye Family boasted numerous Water Attribute cultivators, and acquiring two additional Water Attribute Flood Dragons would provide a considerable advantage! Overjoyed, Ye Jingyu placed the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon into the Spirit Beast Bag and instructed Ye Haifei to pilot the Blue Water Whale, swiftly guiding the pair away. Only residual afterimages remained on the ocean's surface. Even at this moment, Ye Haifei was exceptionally thrilled. He cast sporadic glances at Ye Jingyu but hesitated to voice his thoughts.

As he was a cultivator of the Water Attribute, Flood Dragons of the Water Attribute were quite suitable for him.

He would even contemplate spending more Contribution Points.

"Uncle Hai Fei, that Jade Qilin Flood Dragon suggests that a Demon Beast might be in the midst of a breakthrough, drawing in a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. I suspect it's highly probable that a Demon Emperor is attempting to ascend to Demon Saint; otherwise, they wouldn't recall all the Flood Dragons!"

"All the Demon Beasts within the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea are converging near the Celestial Horse Pass, fortifying the passage to obstruct Human Race cultivators from entering. Simultaneously, others are stationed around the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, and considering the recent beast tide, this indicates an intensification of the Human-Demon conflict!" Ye Jingyu elaborated further.

This explanation seemed remarkably plausible.

In previous years, their activities were limited to hunting some Demon Beasts; the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea should not have caused such a large-scale commotion.

During defensive actions, several Flood Dragon Demon Kings were slain; this appears to suggest deliberate provocation from the flood dragon faction.

When the Human Race retaliates, this could certainly escalate the conflict!

It is conceivable that the Chenjing Sea's Chenjing may have been incited by the Flood Dragon Race.

"Once this information circulates, the Divine Monarch of the Penglai Immortal Sect might become agitated!" Ye Haifei also remarked with a sigh.

These Outer Sea Demon Races are truly cunning, especially the Great Demon Races dwelling within the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea.

Even with such covert schemes at play, knowing the truth now, he felt a sense of relief.

Once the Divine Monarch disseminates this intelligence, the Penglai Immortal Sect will undoubtedly be the first to take action.

With Penglai's involvement, the Celestial Horse Pass may not withstand the assault.

The Ye Family ought to leverage this opportunity to make their departure.

Irrespective of whether the Human Race succeeds in disrupting the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, the future Eastern Sea is poised to become a battleground, leaving no compelling reason to remain.

The pair circled the area for more than ten days before making their return to Yin Shark Abyss.

Upon their arrival, Ye Jingyu and Ye Haifei promptly sought out Ye Xuecang.

Even Ye Haisheng and Ye Xuefu made their way over.

The cultivators were taken aback and expressed a degree of apprehension upon learning of a Demon Emperor's impending breakthrough to Demon Saint.

If the Demon Race were to possess an excessive number of Divinity Transformation Demon Saints, it could potentially overpower the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Fortunately, the prevailing situation does not significantly impact the Ye Family, and they might even discover a chance to relocate.

Everyone was elated and genuinely delighted for the family upon hearing that Ye Jingyu had successfully obtained two Water Attribute Flood Dragon Spirit Beast Eggs.

Naturally, Ye Haisheng and Ye Xuefu harbored a slight sense of regret for not acquiring wind or fire attribute Flood Dragons.

"The Flood Dragons of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea are not easily subdued; do not be overly optimistic!" Ye Xuecang cautioned, discerning their unspoken sentiments.

Despite the abundant presence of Flood Dragons in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, the number held by the Four Great Sects remains scarce.

This fact sufficiently underscores the perilous nature of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea.

"Second Uncle's counsel is duly noted..." Ye Haifei replied somewhat sheepishly, refraining from vocalizing his actual thoughts, though he did indeed hold them. Now that his intentions were revealed, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Such Flood Dragon Spirit Beasts wield an unparalleled charm for any cultivator within the Ye Family.

Even those with the most steadfast temperament can easily find their thoughts wandering.

"Next, locate a few secret realms; cultivators from other factions should be present within. Utilize them to spread the news back to the Eastern Domain!" Ye Xuecang commanded once more!
