Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1075 - 755: Breaking Array of the Thunder Tribulation, Celestial Sand Spirit Manual

Above the desert, sand and dust rolled, the scene was vast.

The Golden Scale Beast stepped onto the void, howling towards the sky.

It released the Earth Qilin Hall beneath its feet, watching the rolling thunderclouds, and the majestic celestial thunder.

As if treating the thunder as a rival, it defiantly challenged.

Seeing the third strike of thunder falling, it leapt out of the Golden Light Grand Clock Array, heading straight for the thunder tribulation.

Having witnessed the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox crossing the tribulation, how could it be content to be outdone by those two beasts, though it couldn’t swallow the thunderclouds or burn them away?

But it could withstand without relying on the array!

And as the Golden Scale Beast leaped, besides the Earth Qilin Hall, countless Cloud Fall Star Rocks and Earth Spikes appeared in the sky.

These spells, for the Golden Scale Beast, had long become instantaneous spells, able to appear in masses with just a thought.

Even these star rocks turned around, smashing towards the thunder tribulation from low altitude; clearly, the Golden Scale Beast’s control over repulsion had reached the point of reversing gravity.

For a moment, stone fragments flew, and thunder light surged.

But clearly, the third thunder tribulation was still superior, shattering countless earth spikes and star rocks.

Finally, the Earth Qilin Hall shattered like a cobweb, yet the Golden Scale Beast once again faced it directly, its claw striking hard.

Boom!

The thunder rolled again.

The dazzling thunder light finally dispersed, mostly pouring into the Golden Scale Beast’s body, as it landed back into the array.

Its entire body was covered in thunder light, and its scale armor was shattered completely, not a single layer remained.

It looked extremely battered, yet it continued to roar incessantly.

"Not enough, come again!"

Ye Jingcheng, seeing this, let out a long sigh of relief.

As expected, the Golden Scale Beast crossing the tribulation was somewhat easier than the Red Flame Fox.

Despite looking like the scale armor was mostly shattered, Ye Jingcheng had a soul contract with the Golden Scale Beast, allowing him to sense that not only was the Golden Scale Beast’s state not bad, it was excellent.

As if it were using the thunder tribulation for body forging.

Now that three strikes had passed, the Golden Scale Beast’s physical body was now glistening with a golden sheen, its regenerated scale armor even thicker.

Making its originally slender body appear rather plump.

Especially the two front claws, which were significantly larger than before.

Yet even so, the Golden Scale Beast remained surprisingly nimble!

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the thunderclouds, noting that the intensity seemed to indicate about five strikes of thunder tribulation.

Comparing it, it’s akin to a top-grade Golden Core for a human race cultivator.

This was another piece of good news for Ye Jingcheng.

Additionally, since the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox had one swallowed and the other burned the thunderclouds.

Reducing the thunder tribulation, and making it hard to determine the grade of the Golden Core.

Now it seemed, at least it was a top-grade Golden Core, given that the Golden Scale Beast was somewhat weaker compared to the two.

Soon enough, the Golden Scale Beast went through two more thunder strikes.

The array remained intact, yet the Golden Scale Beast lay in a sand pit, half submerged by the yellow sand, with only a Qilin head and golden armor exposed.

By inspecting with Divine Sense, one could see the Golden Scale Beast’s body was covered with bruises, obviously heavily injured.

Yet even facing serious injuries, the Golden Scale Beast refused to use the array, unwilling to be outshone by the Red Flame Fox and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng approach, the Golden Scale Beast couldn’t help but let out an excited low growl.

As if it had triumphed over some adversary.

"Master, this thunder tribulation is mere drizzle, taking on another White-haired Snake is no problem!" the Golden Scale Beast said.

"So stubborn, next time during a beast tide or if there’s an enemy, you’ll be the first to go!" Ye Jingcheng also stepped forward, speaking unkindly.

Simultaneously starting to channel treasure light, although from his sensing, even without his treasure light, the Golden Scale Beast’s recovery wouldn’t be slow.

Celestial thunder, it is both destruction and rebirth.

Absorbing this kind of power, the Golden Scale Beast’s innate recovery ability would also transform qualitatively.

After channeling the treasure light, Ye Jingcheng looked outside, seeing the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon roaring continuously, its profound cold storm freezing many demon insects.

Most of these demon insects were some Sand Scorpions and Red Ants; Ye Jingcheng naturally had no interest in these ordinary spirit insects.

He merely found himself questioning why the demon beasts and the Demon King from the Celestial Departure Grassland were not drawn to the area.

His attention then shifted towards the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Previously, the Red Flame Fox's advancement had summoned a Great Demon, yet this time, no such creature appeared; Ye Jingcheng could only surmise that the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land was the reason.

Frequently, the danger-sensing abilities of demon beasts surpass those of cultivators. It was plausible that the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, to these beasts, presented an extreme peril, deterring them from approaching.

Ye Jingcheng reviewed the recordings captured by his Shadow Wood Puppet but found nothing out of the ordinary, eventually abandoning his investigation.

However, at that precise moment, he suddenly felt a connection with his Five Poison Bees.

Producing the Spirit Disc, he discerned that the Five Poison Bees were, in fact, moving closer to him.

It appeared that a subtle shift had occurred within the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land just moments before.

Ye Jingcheng experienced a rush of conflicting emotions.

The Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, which he had been unable to penetrate, seemed to have temporarily faltered due to the spiritual energy consumed by the thunder tribulation.

Ye Jingcheng swiftly gathered a few spirit beasts and proceeded toward the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Before long, he had successfully collected all his Five Poison Bees.

Concurrently, he also recalled his soul split.

As he processed the memories from the soul split.

Ye Jingcheng became even more astonished. Through the recollections of the Soul Split and the Five Poison Bees, it became clear that this city was an innate illusionary realm, replete with endlessly repeating palaces, chambers, structures, and corridors.

Furthermore, a significant number of corpses were discovered within, indisputably indicating that numerous individuals had perished, trapped within its confines in the past.

A considerable number of storage bags were also present.

Nevertheless, the Soul Split sensed an urgent need to locate an exit, prompting it to forgo collecting these items.

After all, information held far greater value than mere storage bags.

At this juncture, Ye Jingcheng harbored a suspicion that cultivators might still be ensnared within.

He also contemplated attempting to deploy the Peach Wood Demon, given that the Thunder Tribulation had the power to breach the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

This was attributed to the fact that illusion arrays necessitate spiritual energy for their sustentation, and even naturally occurring illusionary formations are anchored to spiritual veins.

The formation of a Thunder Tribulation equally demands spiritual energy, and on the sandy dunes, there was an inherent scarcity of it.

Consequently, it drew upon the spiritual energy of the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land,

precipitating a temporary void of spiritual energy, thereby dismantling the array and enabling the escape of a few Five Poison Bees.

Naturally, this was also due to the fact that the Five Poison Bees had not ventured excessively deep.

Ye Jingcheng could still detect the presence of several others still imprisoned within!

Ye Jingcheng once again approached the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

The immense, ancient city continued to stand with imposing grandeur, continuously enveloped by countless streams of yellow sand.

Yet, the quantity of sand upon the ancient city remained constant, neither increasing nor diminishing.

This suggested that the perpetually falling sand was, in itself, an illusion.

Ye Jingcheng’s eyes gleamed with spiritual luminescence as he employed his Star Illusion Eye for another examination; however, the vision presented was identical to his prior observation, as if the array had already reverted to its initial state.

Ye Jingcheng had no alternative but to summon forth the Peach Wood Demon.

"Master, is this your new city?" the Peach Wood Demon inquired obsequiously the moment it materialized.

Its gaze initially registered bewilderment, which then transformed into palpable anticipation!

"This city is indeed vast, but it falls short of your esteemed status, Master. You ought to populate this domain with spirit wood of Tier Three or higher, and introduce a multitude of spirit beasts, more flood dragons, and even more..."

"Peach Wood, endeavor to absorb the spiritual energy present here. This is a formidable natural illusion array, potentially of Tier Five, or even Tier Six!" Ye Jingcheng interjected, cutting short the Peach Wood Demon's verbose discourse.

He harbored no desire to lend an ear to Peach Wood's rambling speculations about the future.

Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng's directive, Peach Wood felt inclined to voice that if flood dragons proved elusive, acquiring more Three-Eyed Demon Rocs would also lend a majestic aura.

However, perceiving Ye Jingcheng’s stern expression, it suppressed its words and promptly took root on the spot.

A colossal spectral form of the peach wood spirit began to manifest.

An innumerable network of roots extended towards the ancient city, commencing the absorption of spiritual energy.

Under Peach Wood’s vigorous absorption, the spectral outline of the ancient city genuinely began to waver and fade.

The towering ramparts of the ancient city started to recede, revealing myriad marks left by blades and swords.

It conveyed the impression that a cataclysmic battle had transpired on this very ground centuries prior.

As time advanced, an increasing number of city gates came into view. Traversing these gates, Ye Jingcheng encountered numerous grand halls, open plazas, ornate pavilions, and winding corridors, mirroring the scenes from the Five Poison Bees' memories.

Also uncovered were countless skeletal remains and storage bags.

It would seem that cultivators and spirit beasts venturing in over the years had all met their demise within the area.

Their lingering regrets and countless tales were etched onto the very walls.

Ye Jingcheng recognized the names of the Sand Kingdom and the Celestial Sand Sect, alongside many others previously unknown to him.

However, an image of Peach Wood materialized on the spiritual wood.

At that moment, its appearance was somewhat distressed.

"Master, within this locale lies a spiritual vein of at least Tier Five Middle Grade. It is impossible for me to absorb it all..." Peach Wood spoke with hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng comprehended that for Peach Wood's current cultivation level, absorbing even a portion would be a significant feat.

Ye Jingcheng promptly retrieved several Tier Three puppets.

He then instructed the puppets to gather the remaining storage bags and salvaged treasures.

Although the probability of discovering rare artifacts was low, any fortuitous jade talismans or inheritances would be highly valuable.

Before long, the puppets returned, each carrying six storage bags.

A cursory inspection revealed that two of the storage bags were already damaged.

This left only four intact storage bags.

Three of these were the common variety found among Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, holding a modest number of spirit stones, five or six Tier One ancient talismans, and a single jade talisman.

That was the extent of their contents.

The jade talisman Ye Jingcheng examined was somewhat unexpected; rather than a cultivation pill formula, it was a recipe for a mortal elixir named the Blood Nurturing Pill.

This elixir was specifically designed to restore vitality in mortals and enhance their reproductive capabilities.

While it was merely a mortal-grade pill, it would prove exceedingly beneficial for the Ye Family in their current circumstances.

The final storage bag, however, was of considerable size.

It was as expansive as a palace, yet its contents appeared quite sparse, as if many items had been utilized or had deteriorated.

One of the jade talismans contained the Celestial Sand Spirit Manual.

This was a top-grade Profound Tier Earth Attribute cultivation technique, cultivable up to the late Nascent Soul stage, making it highly suitable for the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng quickly perused the cultivation technique, noting its ability to bestow special combat bonuses within the Desert Sea, specifically enabling the summoning of sand giants with thrice the cultivator's strength.

For Earth Attribute cultivators within the Ye Family, this Celestial Sand Spirit Manual would undoubtedly serve as an exceptional secret scripture.

Aside from this cultivation technique, the other discovered items were equally unremarkable.

Ye Jingcheng then proceeded to traverse the perimeter of the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, directing Peach Wood to continuously alter their location and probe deeper into the mysterious area!
