Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1278 - 892: Promise, Blood Spring
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
The rumbling thunder resounded throughout the Desert Sea, and the dark clouds were oppressively terrifying.
A giant peach wood, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, spanned between the sky and the earth of the Desert Sea.
Its entire body was golden and red, its branches flickering, constantly spreading in the void, like chains of order undulating.
Even Ye Jingcheng was shocked by the divinity and majesty of the peach wood at that moment.
"Master, it’s just a small thunder tribulation!" the Peach Wood Demon was still showcasing itself.
As if this was not a tribulation crossing, but a means to please Ye Jingcheng.
"Be careful!" Ye Jingcheng still urged.
Though the peach wood seemed somewhat unreliable, over the years, Ye Jingcheng knew its character well; it wasn’t overly confident.
Before Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, a thunder tribulation had already descended from the thunderclouds in the sky.
This thunder tribulation transformed into a Heaven-Slaying Thunder Sword, and surprisingly, the first thunder tribulation already exhibited anomalies, seemingly more powerful than a Stone Spirit Thunder Tribulation.
At this moment, the peach wood also shook a few times, and countless roots swiftly surged up.
Countless roots exploded in the sky, with brilliant golden divine thunder and wood chips instantly creating an ocean of spiritual light that poured down.
The roots continued to surge upward.
Just as Ye Jingcheng thought it would remain in a stalemate, a particularly thick and blood-red root shot out.
This root was exceptionally large and covered with some strange patterns.
Boom!
This root entered the ocean of thunder light, and not only did it not shatter, but it began to absorb frantically like an elephant trunk sucking water.
Countless thunder lights were thus absorbed into the body of the peach wood.
The aura of the peach wood began to fluctuate, but instead of plummeting, its aura steadily increased.
"Lifebound Spirit Root Divine Technique!" Before Ye Jingcheng could speak, Ye Haisheng, watching from the side, couldn’t help but exclaim.
Most Wood Demons’ divine techniques involve wood transformation divine light or infinite growth, but many can also cultivate a lifebound spirit root, akin to cultivators refining a magical treasure.
It was evident that this was the peach wood’s lifebound spirit root just now.
This spirit root maximized its soul absorption ability, allowing it even to absorb thunder tribulation.
No wonder the peach wood was so confident.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but smile, because with this lifebound spirit root,
it’s not just about passing the thunder tribulation but also having great hope of breaking through the Tier Five Illusion Array and reaching the Earth Immortal Platform.
Thus, this journey to the Earth Immortal Realm for the Ye Family can be anticipated with good results.
Sure enough, the four subsequent thunder tribulations were passed one by one, with the peach wood enduring one more thunder tribulation than the Stone Spirit.
Once the thunder tribulation was over, the peach wood took root in the void and began to slowly recover, with the surrounding spiritual energy rushing toward it frantically.
Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and infused some treasure light.
This treasure light not only heals wounds but also helps the peach wood refine the thunder attribute spiritual power within.
After the peach wood fully advances, Ye Jingcheng’s gaze fell upon the final Malachite Stone Spirit.
Though Malachite’s potential was not as great as the Stone Spirit and the peach wood, the body refining golden milk it birthed is extremely beneficial to a body cultivator.
Ye Jingcheng even had the chance to use the golden milk, along with the Primordial Star Forging Fruit, to break through the Golden Core Body Cultivator realm.
With the dark clouds gathering once again, the third thunder tribulation arrived.
The breakthrough of the Malachite Stone Spirit was not as smooth, and midway through the tribulation, it even entered the array where the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit resided, just managing to withstand three thunder tribulations and achieving the status of a Golden Core Demon King.
But it suffered severe injuries, and only with Ye Jingcheng pouring in a large amount of treasure light did it recover.
"Malachite was useless, and troubled the master!" Malachite Stone Spirit couldn’t help but feel a bit remorseful.
"No problem, you did well!" Ye Jingcheng nodded in comfort.
Despite Malachite’s bumpy tribulation crossing, he suddenly realized that his visit to the Earth Immortal Realm this time would have not seven but ten Demon Kings.
Now, the two Stone Spirits and the Peach Wood Demon King all had Golden Core-level combat power; although not defeating same-tier Golden Core cultivators, they could certainly hold their ground.
Especially the peach wood, which could definitely lead a battlefield.
"Recover well!" Seeing all three successfully advancing, Ye Jingcheng happily reassured once more.
Then he gave some treasure light to each demon, placing all three into the grotto heaven.
At this moment, the grotto heaven was more than three times larger, and the spiritual vein had been elevated to a Tier Four High-Grade Spiritual Vein, which was more conducive to recovery.
Ye Jingcheng also took advantage of the situation and moved all the spirit beasts previously taken out from the Spirit Beast Bag into the grotto heaven.
The Jade Ring Rat and the Earthworm began overseeing the replanting of spirit medicines.
"Congratulations, Jingcheng!" Ye Haisheng watched as the three Great Demon Kings broke through, and as several Demon Kings entered the grotto heaven from the Spirit Beast Bag.
Saying he wasn’t envious would be a lie. He had originally thought that with Chenjing, he would eventually catch up.
After all, Chenjing’s progress was considerable and had already caught up with his cultivation, and soon it should break through to the Late Stage of the Third Tier.
But compared to Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beast Wood Demon, the difference was vast.
Although Chenjing was still young, he truly lacked confidence that Chenjing could surpass Ye Jingcheng’s spirit beasts.
"Thanks for the trouble, Uncle Haisheng!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Storage Bag, which contained some spirit pills.
There were pills suited for Ye Haisheng, and some for Chenjing.
"This is..."
"I’ll rely on Uncle Haisheng to help me obtain a piece of Chenjing Jade!" Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Haisheng did not hesitate and directly accepted the spirit pills.
"Don’t worry, as long as I’m in the Chenjing Sea, I’ll get you a piece of Chenjing Jade!" Ye Haisheng promised, patting his chest.
"Uncle Haisheng, that won’t be necessary; it will still be a long time before I break through to the Nascent Soul, so please be careful." Ye Jingcheng replied.
However, it seemed like Ye Haisheng had made up his mind and wouldn’t reconsider.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was quite helpless.
They exchanged a few more words before taking leave.
Upon returning to Sha Huang Mountain, Ye Jingcheng once more entered the grotto heaven.
Entering the grotto heaven, Ye Jingcheng immediately felt the oppressive atmosphere had vanished, replaced by a sense of freedom as vast as the sea and sky.
The Golden Light Bamboo grew taller and denser, glowing with golden light, vibrant and extraordinary.
The various spirit lakes were more expansive, with Cyan Jade Lotus even greener, its flowers gently blooming and swaying lightly with the breeze.
On the lake surface, spirit fish and Moon Spirit Pearls appeared alternately, leisurely and at ease, occasionally leaping out of the water, creating a tinkling splash.
The Spirit Mountain was luxuriantly verdant, with spiritual energy gushing forth, and even the Spirit Medicine Garden’s herbs sparkled with spiritual light.
The Six-Colored Cloud Deer and Golden Falcon roamed the grotto heaven, while the Golden Scale Beast joyfully battled the White-Browed Cyan Wolf at the perimeter.
Due to the expansion of the grotto heaven, these newly appeared spaces were wasteland.
Naturally, it provided space for the two beasts to duel, with the Roc Fish and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon each taking a spirit lake and enjoying spirit fish and meat of the ganoderma.
The two Stone Spirits and one Wood Demon were slowly recovering.
Ye Jingcheng finally stopped in front of the Spring Spirit.
The Spring Spirit had long since advanced and broke through three years ago.
He tested some new Spiritual Spring Water and found that a single drop could increase the medicinal properties of a spirit medicine by two and a half years.
Though it took a bit longer to condense, overall, it was still quite an improvement.
This meant that for Ye Jingcheng, the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng could mature even sooner.
