Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1083 - 763: Immortal Ascension Conference, Promotion of Blood Nurturing Pill

The midday sun blazed with unusual intensity. Though spring had officially arrived, the sky's fiery orb felt like a massive furnace, scorching the earth below.

Before Celestial Shadow Peak's grand plaza, a multitude of cultivator children and mortals had convened.

A palpable sense of solemnity and tension hung in the air. This marked the first decennial clan assembly since the Ye Family had initiated its procreation incentives, a crucial event for the family's future strategies, resource allocation like Spirit Stones and Clan Allowance, and the subsequent status of many members.

At this juncture, all eyes were riveted upon the plaza's epicenter.

Dominating the space stood an immense Furnace Cauldron, towering over ten feet high.

Within this colossal vessel, three thick stalks of purple Cyan Sandalwood incense burned steadily, resembling pillars. They ascended as three immense smoke dragons, spiraling towards the deep blue heavens.

In front of the Furnace Cauldron, an imposing high platform was laden with numerous offerings.

These sacred items included the Flood Dragon Head from a fearsome Evil Flood Dragon of the East Sea, the skeletal remains of a Giant Whale, and a primary tentacle from a gargantuan octopus.

Each offering, sizable enough to rival a giant millstone, pulsed with a blossoming spiritual light under the influence of activated Spirit Talismans, radiating a considerable amount of Beastly Might.

Furthermore, the Demon Heads of ten distinct Tier Three Great Demons were arranged in a solemn row, their sheer presence a profoundly awe-inspiring spectacle.

The presence of Ye Family cultivators from the Foreign Affairs Tower was also noted. Upon witnessing this display, they were utterly speechless, overwhelmed by the sheer opulence.

Such was the extravagance of the Ye Family; even Great Demons were relegated to mere secondary displays, not even gracing the main altar.

Yet, amidst their astonishment, a surge of pride coursed through them for their affiliation with the Ye Family's Foreign Affairs Tower, and even greater delight was felt for the privilege of personally observing the Ye Family's Immortal Ascension Conference.

It was common knowledge that, excluding the Foreign Affairs Tower, even the Ye Family's sworn vassals in the Desert Sea were denied attendance at the clan assembly, let alone the honor of witnessing the grandeur of the Immortal Ascension Conference from Celestial Shadow Peak.

This exclusivity naturally filled them with an immeasurable sense of pride.

At the heart of the plaza, Ye Xuefan, the most senior elder of the Ye Family, was engaged in reciting the sacred sacrificial litany.

His countenance was etched with profound solemnity as he held a wine cup. Curiously, the vessel contained not wine, but the blood of a Tier Three Beast.

Standing behind Ye Xuefan were Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng.

Only after the intricate sacrificial rites had reached their conclusion did Ye Xuefan turn his gaze toward Ye Haicheng, intoning:

"The propitious hour is upon us. Commence the Immortal Ascension Conference!"

"Understood." Ye Haicheng responded, bowing respectfully with clasped hands multiple times.

He then turned, addressing the gathered clan members.

The sternness in his eyes softened, replaced by a gentle kindness.

Before him stood no less than four hundred and fifty mortal children—this represented the most significant Immortal Ascension Conference in the Ye Family's entire history.

It served as undeniable proof of the Ye Family's successful implementation of childbirth encouragement policies.

"The Immortal Ascension Conference officially begins!" As Ye Haicheng's proclamation echoed, Yellow Dragons and Celestial Phoenixes in the sky let out a unified roar, as if true celestial spirits had descended upon the mortal realm—an utterly magnificent spectacle.

Simultaneously, a vast rain imbued with spiritual essence cascaded upon the land.

Every cultivator present felt an invigorating surge within their very spirits.

Ye Xingxiao had already deployed the Ten Directions Small Seal, directing it towards the plaza. In moments, it materialized into ten elevated platforms.

Clan members, meticulously prepared by the Miscellaneous Hall and adorned in the distinctive Ye Family Daoist Robes, ascended with expressions of great seriousness.

They proceeded to set out the Spirit Testing Discs and the Hand Washing Basins.

"Esteemed Ye Family Members, today's Immortal Ascension Conference is the grandest since our clan instituted supportive measures for childbirth, and it auspiciously coincides with our Dragon Ancestor's breakthrough—his Nascent Soul has now been successfully formed. Consequently, the top three individuals demonstrating the greatest Spirit Roots in this Immortal Ascension Conference will each be granted a potential Spirit Beast from the Four Valleys!"

"Furthermore, those who secure a position within the top ten for Spirit Roots will each have the privilege of selecting a Tier Two potential Spirit Pet!"

As these pronouncements were made, the nascent cultivators, the Immortal Seedlings, remained unaware of the profound significance of the rewards. However, the established Ye Family members were rendered utterly astounded, a touch of envy evident in their expressions.

The Spirit Beast Cubs residing within the Ye Family's Four Valleys were all, at a minimum, categorized as having Tier Three potential. With the application of an Advancement Pill, their inherent potential could be significantly amplified.

Despite the Ye Family's current abundance of Spirit Beasts, the sheer quantity of clan members meant that even acquiring a Tier Two Spirit Beast Cub was no simple feat.

Unless they might, following the Inner Hall assessments, demonstrate they possessed adequately proficient Beast Communication Patterns.

"Aside from that, amongst the town chiefs of the Mortal realm, the top ten cultivators who nurture the most Immortal Seedlings shall, in addition to the prior commendations, be granted bonus Blood Nurturing Pills!"

"These Blood Nurturing Pills are also considered Immortal Spiritual Pills, possessing the capability to solidify blood essence and enhance yang vitality!"

At these pronouncements, a slight tremor ran through the bodies of the gathered Mortal town chiefs.

The Ye Family's Immortal Ascension Conference convenes every three years; consequently, they were well-acquainted with the established reward policies.

The town chief responsible for uncovering the most Immortal Seedlings would traditionally receive rewards and recognition from the Immortal Family.

Now that the bounties had been elevated once more, and introducing the novel Blood Nurturing Pill—perhaps these veteran town chiefs could all continue to "maintain their vigor in their twilight years." How could they not feel a surge of excitement?

Particularly those town chiefs whose domains had yielded four or even five Immortal Seedlings; at this juncture, their hopes soared even higher.

As for the town chiefs who had failed to produce any Immortal Seedlings, a sense of shame washed over them.

The settlements within the Desert Sea region differed significantly from those in the Yan Kingdom. In areas blessed with abundant Oases, a single town could host tens of thousands of residents, whereas in less fortunate locales, a town might only house a mere thousand or two.

Currently, the majority of town chiefs hailed from the Ye Family's Mortal contingent, with a select few being indigenous Desert Sea Mortals with whom they had initially forged a partnership.

Naturally, these local Mortals had also taken Ye Family members as spouses, effectively becoming part of the family through marriage.

On the Spirit Platform, the testing phase commenced without delay.

Ten individuals comprised the inaugural round, their Spiritual Lights igniting in succession.

Among this group of ten, one individual exhibited Dual Spirit Roots, three possessed Three Spirit Roots, six displayed Four Spirit Roots, and notably, none had Five Spirit Roots.

Furthermore, the Spiritual Light emanating from each participant extended a distance of three to four feet.

In terms of Spiritual Root compatibility and quality, they all presented as quite promising.

With the presence of Dual Spirit Roots in the very first batch, a white-haired Elder serving as a town chief among the Mortal Towns began to proudly recount the young prodigy's tale to his fellow chiefs.

"Young Xiaochu has faced considerable hardship. Just a few years ago, his parents perished in a dust storm; survival, let alone sustenance, was a constant struggle..."

The other chiefs, as expected, responded with derisive snorts, and some even issued dismissive, cold huffs.
