Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1080 - 760: Beast Infant Formed, Thunder Tribulation Appears

The spiritual radiance in the sky above Celestial Phoenix Oasis intensified, compelling many cultivators of the Ye Family to emerge from their secluded training. The current spiritual energy was simply too turbulent for meditation and cultivation; to proceed might invite unforeseen accidents. Amidst those emerging from seclusion, returning cultivators from distant lands also began to arrive, infusing the entire Celestial Phoenix Oasis with a palpable liveliness. Some individuals at the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages even initiated private internal trading gatherings.

Ye Jingcheng was among the cultivators who had journeyed for five to six days, returning from Yuanling Oasis. Aboard his spiritual ship, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Qingwen, and their companions, though travel-worn, exchanged knowing smiles upon witnessing the flourishing state of the oasis. This was the Ye Family's exclusive Spirit Mountain, its stature and breadth rivaling that of the Taichang Mountain Range. Indeed, if the Desert Sea and Eastern Domain were connected, the Ye Family would undoubtedly be considered a Nascent Soul power.

Upon disembarking from the spiritual ship, Ye Qingfeng and Ye Jingtin were immediately swamped with duties due to the sheer number of family elders. Their seniority placed them quite low in the order of address. Greetings were exchanged with members of the Jing Generation, and even more so with those from the Xing and Sea Generations. In contrast, Ye Jingcheng found himself speaking less frequently now. While many still held higher seniority than him, their numbers seemed somewhat insignificant compared to the vast expanse of the Ye Family's membership.

It was only when Ye Haicheng, Ye Xuefan, and other Purple Mansion cultivators of the Ye Family made their appearance that Ye Jingcheng signaled the others, dispatching them to report at their respective hall entrances. "Congratulations, Great Grandfather! Uncle Haiyan, Granny Haiyu, Fifteenth Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng beamingly congratulated those who had recently achieved breakthroughs. The former had ascended to the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, while the latter three had broken through the Purple Mansion stage. Had this not been a crucial juncture, the Ye Family would surely have commenced celebrations immediately. After all, with the advancement of three Purple Mansion cultivators, the Ye Family's Purple Mansion contingent now numbered more than ten, a cause for significant festivity.

"This accomplishment, it was thanks to Jingcheng!" several responded with warmth. Concurrently, each produced a storage bag. "These are gifts prepared for the two young grandnephews!" Although they stated these were gifts for Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng, the contents were, in fact, spiritual medicine that Ye Jingcheng required. Clearly, they felt that any direct repayment for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid would be insufficient. It was more convenient to present them as gifts for the younger generation, thus rendering the monetary value of the gifts less critical.

Ye Jingcheng cast a brief glance, his face alight with a smile. Speaking of which, when considering the spiritual medicine prepared by Ye Jingyu for him, Ye Jingcheng had now amassed all necessary advancement spiritual medicines for the Golden Scale Beast. Once the teleportation array became operational, he could commence the refinement of the Tier Four Golden Scale Pill. According to the Treasure Book's spirit shadow, at that point, the Golden Scale Beast would resemble an Earth Qilin. It truly held the potential to surpass the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Red Flame Fox, being the first to achieve the mid-stage of the Fourth Tier.

Aside from the Golden Scale Beast's Golden Scale Pill, the spiritual pill materials for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Red Flame Fox were also not significantly lacking. Should all four Tier advancements prove successful, the pace of Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough to Golden Core Peak would undoubtedly be rapid, naturally fueling his own anticipation. "How fares the Dragon Ancestor's breakthrough?" Ye Jingcheng inquired after a period of conversation. He was quite keen to understand the Earth Dragon Demon King's process of advancing to Demon Emperor.

Ye Jingcheng desired to gain insight into the sensation of breaking through to Nascent Soul, even though he remained in the Early Stage of Golden Core. He felt confident that reaching the Golden Core Peak was merely a matter of time. Understanding the intricacies of a Nascent Soul breakthrough now would undoubtedly prove beneficial for his own subsequent ascension. Most critically, possessing the Minor Achievement Star Illusion Eye made this endeavor exceptionally convenient. Simultaneously, a degree of caution lingered; although he had no falling out with the Earth Dragon Demon King, maintaining vigilance was essential. For instance, Ye Jingcheng considered the possibility of installing a backup teleportation array somewhere before the existing one was compromised.

The Ye Family's developmental trajectory had accelerated in recent years, largely due to leveraging Taiyi Sect and Tian Dao Sect for advancements. Concurrently, Ye Jingyu could be teleported over, and perhaps the Golden Scale Beast would have already achieved its breakthrough by now.

Maintaining a degree of caution, Ye Jingcheng observed the situation.

"Approaching the Nascent Soul stage, Jingcheng, this period requires your utmost vigilance!" Ye Xuefan expressed with a furrowed brow, though his current demeanor was considerably more relaxed than before.

With Ye Jingcheng present, even if the Earth Dragon Demon King were to ascend to the Demon Emperor realm, any unforeseen incident could be swiftly managed by him.

"Please rest assured, Fourth Ancestor. Jingcheng will execute this duty flawlessly!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng made his way towards Celestial Shadow Peak.

His divine sense had experienced another significant surge compared to seven years prior, a feat largely attributed to the Minor Achievement Tier Three Dream-Devouring Worm.

Recently, however, the worm's efficacy had waned considerably unless it consumed Tier Four demon souls.

Unfortunately, the previously acquired demon souls were already allocated to the Beast Communication Tower, leaving Ye Jingcheng to rely on beast souls from slain Tier Three Great Demons.

With his divine sense fully unfurled, Ye Jingcheng's perception encompassed most of Celestial Phoenix Oasis, and with concentration, he could extend his sight even further.

No beast tide was currently advancing toward their location.

This was partly due to the Ye Family's array's cloaking effect and, secondly, because the central Desert Sea harbored no demon beasts.

He then partially retracted his divine sense, his gaze settling upon Celestial Shadow Peak.

A growing yellow spiritual radiance emanated from the peak, and the earth-attribute spiritual might intensified.

The sensation was akin to the imminent birth of a golden True Dragon.

...

While Ye Jingcheng observed from the periphery, at the summit of Celestial Shadow Peak, atop a hill, the Earth Dragon Demon King's physical form had completed its transformation into its true shape.

It was unmistakably a half-flood dragon, a colossal golden lizard.

It lay crouched, not yet at its maximum size, yet it shimmered with golden light and occasionally emitted deep growls.

The dragon qi absorbed from the Celestial Dragon Fruit and the vital essence from the Star Sea Fruit, consumed previously...

All these elements were now gradually manifesting their effects.

Within its body, the demon beast's inner core had vanished, replaced by a miniature lizard spirit shadow.

Unlike the infant-like form of a cultivator's Nascent Soul, a demon beast's Nascent Soul manifested as a juvenile version of the beast itself.

At this critical juncture, the beast infant had reached the cusp of condensation.

"Roar!" The Earth Dragon Demon King let out another deep roar.

Within its being, the Chenjing Jade disintegrated into myriad spiritual lights, shattering into fragments.

Concurrently, the surrounding spiritual energy converged with furious intensity.

At this moment, a distinct excitement flickered in the Earth Dragon Demon King's eyes.

Yet, it maintained a careful sense of control.

After an immeasurable period, the beast infant finally solidified into existence.

The Earth Dragon Demon King ascended directly into the sky.

Its body expanded significantly once more, exceeding 150 meters, and simultaneously, it unleashed a wave of Nascent Soul aura, radiating outwards!

Roar!

A dragon's resonant roar.

All cultivators and spirit beasts within Celestial Phoenix Oasis felt an instinctual fear and awe.

This was the might of Nascent Soul combat prowess.

A single roar was enough to strike dread into the heart!

Suddenly, the heavens above turned dark as countless thunderclouds gathered.

The thunderclouds were immense in scale; the Earth Dragon Demon King, clearly exerting itself, flew towards the surrounding desert.

It eschewed the Mountain Protection Array, as the array was not designed to counter thunder tribulations and its effectiveness would be limited.

Conversely, if the array were to falter, it would inflict greater damage upon Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

Furthermore, it was demonstrating goodwill towards the Ye Family.

Though this gesture of goodwill might come at a significant cost.

But for the Earth Dragon Demon King, aspiring to become an Earth Dragon Demon Emperor,

How could it be deterred by minor perils?

As the Earth Dragon ventured beyond Celestial Phoenix Oasis, it inadvertently disrupted the Ye Family's initial strategy.

Nevertheless, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuefan, and the others remained unperturbed.

Instead, they offered cheers of encouragement to the Earth Dragon Demon King.

It was only as the Earth Dragon Demon King passed by that Ye Jingcheng tossed out half a top-grade spirit stone.

This half piece of top-grade spirit stone possessed restorative capabilities for a cultivator's Qi, comparable to Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk.

Since the Earth Dragon Demon King was willing to undergo this ordeal for their oasis, the Ye Family, in turn, did not display stinginess.

Shortly thereafter, the Earth Dragon Demon King reached the open expanse.

The thunderclouds above stretched for several tens of miles.

The sight was particularly ominous.

It seemed as though the entire Desert Sea had been plunged into sudden darkness, a spectacle vastly more formidable than Ye Jingcheng's own thunder tribulation!
