Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1282 - 896: Qi Guide of the Earth Immortal, Subduing the Xilu

The dazzling sun freely released its light, shining on the ancient city, reflecting a golden mist, like a thin layer of gold gauze, adding an extra touch of mystery to the ancient city.

As the group approached, with the array broken, many walls turned into sand and scattered away, as if they had never existed.

Only a few pillars with special array patterns and some tall towers remained sturdy, but even so, the array patterns on them were already blurred.

Obviously, the ancient city was too old, so old that even buildings that once belonged to Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation powers could no longer withstand the erosion of time.

"I estimate that there was an Immortal Sect power before the Celestial Sand Sect," Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but speak.

The level of antiquity of this city might not be as simple as one or two millennia.

He examined some of the spirit iron materials and couldn’t quite tell what type of spirit iron they were; the array patterns on them were also significantly different from current array setups.

Combined with that illusion array, it’s likely a Tier Five Array Master who set it up, and the Celestial Sand Sect isn’t known to have any high-tier Nascent Soul array masters.

Celestial Sand Sect must be merely the later ruler of the Desert Sea, otherwise, there wouldn’t be any vague information about the Heaven-Repairing Garden spread around.

According to that Celestial Sand Sect True Master’s statement, it takes two Nascent Souls and ten Golden Cores to enter the Heaven-Repairing Garden.

But in Ye Jingcheng’s view, it’s likely another special array. Once they reach the Earth Immortal Realm, perhaps they can even rely on peach wood to enter.

After observing for a while, the three people and the beast landed beside the Earth Immortal Platform.

The massive altar was incomparably more complex than a teleportation array.

The entire altar was ten zhang in diameter, inlaid with countless colorful stones, and beside the stones were many special array patterns. These patterns were somewhat similar to the silver tadpole array patterns on spirit treasures, meandering and twisting, yet with a profound Dao essence within them.

Some were even more obscure and difficult to understand than the Treasure Communication Technique.

After taking a few glances, Ye Jingcheng felt an overwhelming drowsiness in his mind, even his Golden Core peak divine sense found it hard to bear.

Clearly, the level of these array patterns was exceptionally high.

"It is indeed the Earth Immortal Platform!" Ye Jingcheng took out a jade talisman and compared it to the descriptions by Tian Dao True Monarch and even the Mansion Master on the Earth Immortal Platform. After seeing for a while, he finally spoke.

According to the Mansion Master’s description, entering the Earth Immortal Realm from the Earth Immortal Platform would also form a qi guide, which would settle in the cultivator’s body and, after a year, would pull them back.

Of course, if the cultivator perishes in the Earth Immortal Realm, that qi guide would also dissipate.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t hear the Mansion Master mention whether the qi guide could be taken, but he thought no one would try to take it.

After all, other powers are Immortal Sect powers; if you take a qi guide to leave from another power’s Earth Immortal Platform,

you could be confronted by Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Not to mention the treasures being taken, there’s also the risk of death.

This is why many Nascent Souls in the Eastern Domain, and even in the Central Domain, do not know about it.

"When the time comes, we’ll need to come up with the name of an Immortal Sect power," Ye Jingcheng said.

This time, according to the family’s plan, Ye Jingcheng would enter through the Earth Immortal Platform of the Righteous Sect, while the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang, along with some demon kings, would enter through the Desert Sea Earth Immortal Platform.

This won’t disrupt Ye Jingcheng’s plans with the Mansion Master, nor will it let the gains of the Ye Family be taken away by those Divinity Transformation sects.

The newly discovered Earth Immortal Platform will inevitably be coveted.

Especially by some Nascent Soul powers, if they find out they didn’t come from a Divinity Transformation power, there might be significant trouble.

It’s better to prepare a statement in advance than to make one up hurriedly.

"The spirit beasts should ideally enter through the Spirit Beast Bag or Grotto Heaven, reducing the qi guide and minimizing risk," Ye Jingcheng said again, while also taking out a piece of shadow wood, planting it beside the Earth Immortal Platform.

Because of the illusion array, the Ye Family cannot monitor here constantly, but the Shadow Wood Puppet can fill this gap.

After Ye Jingcheng finished his investigation, Ye Xuefan began recording on the side, but after a while, Ye Xuefan shook his head.

He scattered some jade ash from his hand, sighing with helplessness.

"The array patterns here might be from the Spirit Realm; not even a Tier Four Spirit Jade jade talisman can record them!"

"Naturally, the Earth Immortal Realm and the Spirit Realm must have an extraordinary connection," Ye Jingcheng nodded, not surprised.

If it could be recorded, that would be questionable.

After all, in the entire Great Yu Realm, Ye Jingcheng has only heard of the Nine Great Immortal Sects having Earth Immortal Platforms.

He hasn’t heard of other Nascent Soul powers having one.

If it could be copied and recorded, surely some great power could study it out.

The group finally searched the ancient city thoroughly again.

But aside from ruins and yellow sand, nothing was left.

So the group left the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.

Outside the forbidden land, the three waited for a long time, and finally, the peach wood began to tremble.

"Master, the spiritual energy surge is too intense!" the peach wood couldn’t help but say.

"Mmm, retract it!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, after all, this was a Tier Five Illusion Array, and a natural one at that; for the peach wood to endure for two hours was already impressive to him.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, countless tendrils of the peach wood flew back, returning to the main body.

Finally, it was taken into the Grotto Heaven by Ye Jingcheng.

"Haicheng, when the time comes, just calculate the time and set up the array to receive us!" Ye Xuefan also spoke to Ye Haicheng.

Among the Ye Family’s Golden Core members, Ye Haicheng and Chu Yanqing stayed behind.

"Yes, Fourth Uncle!" Ye Haicheng nodded.

After confirming the Earth Immortal Platform, the members of the Ye Family sighed in relief. With the Earth Immortal Platform, the Ye Family can look forward not only to this trip to the Earth Immortal Realm but also to being able to go once every three hundred years in the future.

If a substantial amount of spirit medicine is found this time, in three hundred years, the Ye Family might have several Nascent Souls exploring the Earth Immortal Realm together.

"Fourth Granduncle, Great Grandpa, I plan to make a trip to the Celestial Departure Grassland!" Ye Jingcheng then spoke.

Regarding the exploration of the Demon King area in the Celestial Departure Grassland, Ye Jingcheng didn’t feel at ease if others went, only his own soul contract gave him peace of mind.

Among them, the Xilu Demon King, he’d laid the groundwork before, and this time, the chances of subjugation were still considerable.

If the Xilu Demon King falls within the mountain ridge, Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng can establish the Hidden Peak in the Celestial Departure Grassland, giving Ye Jingcheng more peace of mind.

After all, if those Demon Saints in the Hundred Thousand Mountains also possess an Earth Immortal Platform.

Without the constraints of Demon Saints and Demon Emperors, a significant number of Demon Kings might emerge from the mountains.

"Good!" Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng both nodded.

The two took out Master Xi Wang’s Spiritual Ship and headed towards the Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

Ye Jingcheng then took out the Profound Light Ship, put away the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, and headed towards Yuanling Oasis.

...

Yuanling Oasis, in the Ye Family Tavern, was bustling at this moment.

Countless cultivators were in the tavern, discussing recent cultivation trivia.

"Have you heard? Qiuxuan Daoist from Qiuyuan Oasis found a Tier Two Celestial Sword Fruit deep in Lion Red Ridge, greatly enhancing sword dao comprehension!"

"There’s more than just the Celestial Sword Fruit, deep in Lion Red Ridge are many other spirit fruits, only that Lion King is too formidable, requiring strong concealment techniques, as well as the Demon King being in seclusion, otherwise, however many go, that’s how many die!"

...

Beside the tavern, a figure couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.

He drank spirit tea, savoring spiritual cuisine.

This person naturally was Ye Jingcheng, who had hidden his identity.

Hearing these cultivators’ discussions symbolized that what the Ye Family was doing now was pretty good.

These cultivators dared to venture in and indeed had gains.

That was enough.

Don’t underestimate these affiliated forces being weak now, as long as they keep developing, they will continuously nibble away parts of the Celestial Departure Grassland and even the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

By that time, the Ye Family’s gains will be greater, and the oases above the Desert Sea will be more.

As for risks, they’re actually borne by these affiliated clans.

Ye Jingcheng did not go to the Ye Family Branch Clan Mountain at Yuanling Oasis.

After drinking spirit tea, he headed deep into the Celestial Departure Grassland.

He now knew the territory of the Xilu Demon King.

He didn’t want to tell Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingnian about Xilu’s backup plan.

Upon reaching the Celestial Departure Grassland, he saw from a distance two children on the grassland cultivating spiritual techniques, raising spirit beasts, and thus, reassuringly continued toward the mountain ridge.

After passing through a dense forest, Ye Jingcheng’s pace slowed down.

He didn’t emit his aura, yet he didn’t hide his scent either.

He didn’t want to forcibly subjugate the Xilu Demon King too much.

Of course, if the other party indeed refused, he wouldn’t show any mercy.

The demon pill of a Tier Four Demon King fetches a nice price in the Central Domain.

"Oh!"

With Ye Jingcheng’s appearance, less than the time of an incense stick passed before a slight beast call was heard.

In the next moment, a gigantic rhino-horned deer appeared in the forest.

Its silhouette seemed to overlap with the forest.

"Human, you..." The Xilu Demon King felt somewhat angry, thinking Ye Jingcheng was here to take spirit blood and challenge it again.

However, before it could finish speaking, it suddenly discovered that Ye Jingcheng’s aura now was at the Late Stage of Golden Core.

Its eyes began showing looks of astonishment.

"Still the same two choices, submission or." Ye Jingcheng didn’t finish the latter, but he knew the Xilu Demon King understood.

This Demon King’s spiritual wisdom wasn’t low.

This was also why Ye Jingcheng wanted to subdue it.

At that time, maybe it could even pass on some wood attribute cultivation technique to a few Ye Family cultivators.

"I am one of the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor’s..." The Xilu Demon King spoke again.

"So is the Black Crow Demon King, but it has already submitted!" Ye Jingcheng interrupted once more.

"You are a smart deer, still the same, if you submit, you’ll have unexpected benefits!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, and the Six-Colored Cloud Deer appeared beside him. Upon sensing the Six-Colored Cloud Deer’s aura, the Xilu Demon King was shocked.

Because it discovered that this Six-Colored Cloud Deer surprisingly had a trace of its aura.

This indicated that the blood Ye Jingcheng took from it years ago was given to this Six-Colored Cloud Deer.

"Fine, I submit!" The Xilu Demon King lowered its immense deer head.

Not only because of the life crisis, but also because it was moved!
