Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1078 - 758: Celestial Roc Demon Emperor, Cyan Dragon Divine Light

Spring passes, and autumn arrives; seven years vanish in the blink of an eye.

At the fringes of the Celestial Departure Grassland, nearing the vast Hundred Thousand Mountains, distant ridges appear, offering a sweeping view of the immense grassland.

Here stands a notably broad hill, identified as Rhino Deer Ridge.

Rhino Deer Ridge has gained renown, naturally due to the Xilu Demon King residing there.

Furthermore, the Xilu Demon King is no mere Tier Four Early-Stage Demon King, but a formidable Tier Four Mid-Stage Demon King.

At this very moment, concealed behind the ridge, an individual is locked in a fierce magical battle with the Deer King.

The Rhino-Horned Deer's horn incessantly thrusts forward, akin to an unstoppable divine spear, while the figure perpetually evades, employing a profoundly mystical movement technique.

Finally, after retreating several dozen feet, a spirit technique is unleashed, and a cascade of cyan light descends instantly.

Subtly, a dragon silhouette angrily lunges, revealing the Wood Spirit Secret Technique: Cyan Dragon Divine Light - Rebirth.

If this secret technique strikes true, it possesses the ability to siphon vitality, causing the target to wither, as if afflicted by the Cyan Dragon's bite, draining immense life force.

For both cultivators and spirit beasts, this is an exceptionally terrifying secret art.

At this juncture, the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King's eyes shift dramatically; clearly having learned from past encounters, it emits a thunderous roar.

Its entire form shimmers with cyan energy, transforming into a colossal Cyan Deer silhouette, instantly obliterating the cyan dragon light.

The deer's body surges forward once more in fury, but an ancient bronze mirror illuminates the Rhino-Horned Deer King.

Its charging momentum collapses, and simultaneously, a Flying Glaze Sword and a Beheading Sword are launched like swift slashes.

Crack! Crack!

However, before the swords could even connect, the spiritual luminescence from the ancient bronze mirror shatters, and the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King emits another low roar, crashing forward and batting aside the two magical treasures.

Yet, how could Ye Jingcheng possibly have prepared only two magical treasures?

A Nine Nether Needle suddenly materialized, piercing the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King's abdomen without delay, causing countless drops of deer blood to spill instantly.

The Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King immediately bellowed.

"Despicable!"

"Despicable? Rhino Horned Deer, you must comprehend that had I not held back, you would already be deceased!" Ye Jingcheng retorted coldly, unable to refrain from shouting.

Concurrently, he gestured, gathering all the spilled deer blood.

Throughout these past seven years, he had remained at Hidden Peak of Cyan Ox Mountain, under the esteemed title of Poison Ascendant, dedicating himself to the arts of alchemy, beast taming, artifact forging, and cultivation, with the most crucial element being sparring.

He had, in essence, contended with nearly every demon king within the Celestial Departure Grassland.

Among them, this Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King proved to be the most suitable adversary for his training, leading him to continuously engage in sparring sessions with it during this extended period.

Naturally, his advancements were substantial; while he hadn't yet achieved a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, his overall strength had escalated dramatically.

He had achieved mastery over four of the Five Spirits Secret Techniques, with only the Wood Spirit Secret Technique failing to fully and smoothly manifest the Cyan Dragon Spirit Shadow.

In terms of Body Refining Technique, having ingested an additional drop of Body Refining Golden Liquid, meticulously refined from Golden Glowing Malachite, he ascended to the Late Stage of Purple Mansion. Coupled with the Celestial Illusion Daoist Robe and the Minor Achievement Desolate Step, he could continuously evade the Rhino-Horned Deer's assaults.

Furthermore, with the enhancement of his divine sense, operating magical treasures became more fluid. Now, he possessed the confidence to vanquish the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King even with only an Early-stage Golden Core Cultivation!

Of course, his primary objective was to recruit the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King into the Ye Family.

After all, this demon king possessed considerable spiritual wisdom; unfortunately, deer-type demon beasts were characteristically too proud to readily agree.

The reason he hadn't slain these demon kings or forced blood pacts upon them stemmed from thorough prior investigation.

The demon kings inhabiting the Celestial Departure Grassland were all under the dominion of the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor.

This Celestial Roc Demon Emperor was exceptionally protective, cherishing the demon kings under his command.

Before the Earth Dragon Demon King could ascend to Tier Five, Ye Jingcheng resolved not to stir unnecessary trouble.

However, abstaining from killing or forcibly engaging in blood contracts did not preclude the acquisition of blood.

Seven years had now elapsed, and his Five-Colored Cloud Deer and Golden Falcon were nearing the stage where they could enter seclusion for their breakthrough to Tier Four.

Ye Jingcheng, consequently, needed to prepare the Tier Four Advancement Pills."You hesitate to kill me, but if you dare, the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor will surely not let you off!" the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King pressed on. "I am not sparing you because of the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor, but rather because I value you more!" Ye Jingcheng mused silently, choosing not to voice these thoughts. "Furthermore, you have witnessed the potential of our cultivators. Over these past three years, from initially fleeing for my life to this point, if I truly wished to kill you, you would have stood no chance long ago!" "If you agree to join the Ye Family, we can provide assistance with alchemy, offering spirit pills like this one. While not on a daily basis, it's possible every six months!" Ye Jingcheng tossed a Tier Three Spirit Pill. This particular pill was a wood attribute spirit pill of Tier Three, complete with pill patterns. "Beyond spirit pills, we also have magical treasures!" Ye Jingcheng continued, his words carrying weight. One should not underestimate the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King simply because it appeared to be at the Tier Four Mid-Stage. Like the Earth Dragon Demon King, it possessed two more advancement opportunities. Moreover, the pill formulas available all commenced at Tier Four. Its future potential remained considerable. At this juncture, the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King showed signs of hesitation. This indecision bolstered Ye Jingcheng's confidence significantly. Even if the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King were to refuse again after a few more breaths, Ye Jingcheng felt assured. Ye Jingcheng intended to depart promptly then. After all, while the Rhino-Horned Deer Demon King would have flatly refused at first, its current hesitation was already a highly positive development! As long as it faltered now, an opportunity would surely arise in the future. In truth, had Ye Jingcheng not been concerned about the Earth Dragon Demon King's potential breakthrough, which would intensify the pressure from the Soul Contract, he would have forcefully forged a blood contract. Therefore, there was no need for haste at this moment! The offered Spirit Pill was not reclaimed. He traversed the grasslands with great speed, soon arriving at Cyan Ox Mountain. Currently, Cyan Ox Mountain was enveloped in a dense mist. Following the advancements of Jing Ting and the others, it had subtly transformed into the fifth forbidden zone. After all, cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm were a rarity among Loose Cultivators. Coupled with Ye Jingcheng's notoriety as the Poison Ascendant, having vanquished several Great Demons, his fame had naturally spread far and wide. Upon reaching the mountain, he observed that Sound Transmission Jade Talismans had been left behind, which immediately brought a smile to Ye Jingcheng's face. "It seems the breakthrough is imminent!" The jade talisman, a message from the family, indicated that the Earth Dragon Demon King was on the cusp of advancing. Concurrently, for Ye Jingcheng, the Ye Family's upcoming Immortal Ascension Conference was also drawing near. The spiritual roots of his two children were now ready for assessment. With these thoughts, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. He tidied up Cyan Ox Mountain briefly, recalling the few Spirit Beasts he had released earlier. The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Red Flame Fox were kept by Ye Jingcheng for his personal security, but he had permitted the Golden Scale Beast, Golden Falcon, and Five-Colored Cloud Deer to roam the grasslands freely. Among these, the Golden Scale Beast, much like Ye Jingcheng himself, had been continuously seeking out Demon Kings in the Celestial Departure Grassland for combat practice. "Master, that Howling Moon Wolf is too swift! Otherwise, I would have certainly defeated it!" The Golden Scale Beast reported, despite being covered in wounds upon its return. While its innate talents were not weak, it was still a newly ascended Demon King. Ye Jingcheng, however, retained lingering impressions of the Howling Moon Wolf King, which was a Tier Four Mid-Stage demon wolf. "Very well, it is time to return!" At this moment, Ye Jingcheng had no intention of revealing the Golden Scale Beast's full capabilities. After recalling the other beasts, he directly piloted his flight towards Celestial Phoenix Oasis. Naturally, as he passed by, he also made a detour to Yulan Pavilion. Having been away for seven years, Jing Ting and the others had all achieved breakthroughs. Among them, Ye Qingwen had successfully advanced to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, while Ye Jingting and Ye Qingfeng had reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. What surprised Ye Jingcheng the most was that their Cyan-Scaled Horse herd had now expanded to a considerable number of two thousand. Furthermore, Ye Jingting's Spirit Talisman crafting skills had also seen improvement. She was now capable of refining Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Talismans, securing her a respectable position among the Ye Family's Spirit Talisman Masters. The group subsequently boarded Ye Jingcheng's Spiritual Ship. At this point, they couldn't help but engage in whispered conversations amongst themselves. "I have heard that Celestial Phoenix Oasis has undergone tremendous transformations, with numerous young prodigies emerging within the family!" Ye Qingfeng, who had a penchant for gathering information about the family, remarked. In contrast, Ye Jingting and Ye Qingwen appeared less focused on such matters. However, Ye Jingting, seemingly recalling something significant, spoke up with an air of mystery:

"I don’t hold high hopes for those prodigies. After all, the family values not only spiritual roots but there are two prodigies that the entire Ye Family awaits eagerly!"

Ye Qingwen still wore a look of confusion, while Ye Qingfeng, having grasped the meaning instantly, couldn’t help but cast a glance towards Ye Jingcheng.

However, Ye Jingcheng was naturally unconcerned with such matters at this moment; he paid no mind to the juniors’ discussions.

Before long, they reached Yuanling Oasis, and Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but survey his surroundings.

After all, if the Ye Family intended to gradually expand into the Celestial Departure Grassland and Hundred Thousand Mountains in the future, these Loose Cultivators and allied clans would undoubtedly play a significant role.

As he observed, Ye Jingcheng noted that the entire oasis was considerably more vibrant than it had been previously.

Furthermore, an increased number of businesses had set up shop, merchants had established stalls, and eateries had opened their doors.

The Four Skills of Cultivation were flourishing and developing splendidly.

It was clear that without the pressure from Zhang Jia’s two families, and with the Ye Family granting ample autonomous development space for the oasis, substantial progress had been made in less than a decade.

Ye Jingcheng was, as expected, exceptionally pleased.

Only a prosperous cultivation era could sustain a preeminent family.

"Eleventh Uncle, I heard that among the ten members of the Wan Family, nine have already taken seven or eight wives and have fathered more than ten children!" Ye Qingfeng, witnessing the bustling market, recalled the Wan Family and couldn’t refrain from speaking.

"That Wan Chengjie is truly remarkable!" Ye Jingcheng also offered praise, having extended his patronage to the Wan Family.

Nevertheless, the latter had indeed managed affairs with flawless execution.

Wan Chengjie himself remained unmarried, continuing to await an opportune moment to marry into the Ye Family.

The other nine members had significantly expanded the Wan Family’s lineage, and every child born was duly reported to the Ye Family.

Among numerous cultivation clans, they served as a rather prominent example.

Naturally, the Ye Family’s revenue from the restaurants, Pill Pavilion, and Artifact Workshop within Yuanling Oasis continued to surge.

After all, in terms of skill proficiency, the Desert Sea Ye Family remained unrivaled. Moreover, by offering smaller clans a degree of freedom for survival and collecting spirit taxes, the Ye Family’s treasures were always presented at a premium.

Yet, despite the higher prices, the Ye Family’s artifacts were met with immense popularity.

Even the Ye Family’s Artifact Refiners and Alchemy Masters were widely recognized as masters beyond their own clan.

"Eleventh Brother!" At this precise moment, Ye Jingfeng also arrived, flying over from Yuanling Oasis.

He had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment and was presently tasked with overseeing Yuanling Oasis.

Sensing Ye Jingcheng’s arrival, he hastened to greet him.

"Once all matters here are concluded, we shall return to Celestial Phoenix Oasis!" Ye Jingcheng declared.

"Eleventh Brother, absolutely, this is a momentous occasion for our Ye Family!" Ye Jingfeng emphatically agreed, nodding repeatedly.

"After I conclude the Spirit Ascension Conference here, Yuanling Oasis, as the inaugural grand oasis, must not be outshone by the other Three Great Oases!" Ye Jingfeng added with a knowing smile.

His expression led Ye Jingcheng to surmise that he might have discovered a promising young talent.

Observing this, Ye Jingcheng did not delay further and proceeded directly towards Celestial Phoenix Oasis!
