Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1286 - 900: Gathering Treasures and a Secret Meeting

A year slipped by quietly once again, and the Grotto Heaven迎来了 another midsummer.

The lively Cyan Jade Lotus, like pieces of unpolished jade, spread and floated upon the surface of the lake, drifting quietly with the breeze.

A few drops of dew, a few strokes of pink blossoms.

Made the Spirit Lake appear even more exquisitely beautiful.

A few Spirit Fish swam in the lake, but in the next instant, only a distant boom was heard.

A terrifying five-colored profound light swept out, and the group of Spirit Fish scattered at once.

After a long while, the Spiritual Light dispersed, revealing a white-robed figure.

The figure’s face was full of smiles; he looked at his own palm, where a faint Thunder Attribute Spiritual Light still lingered.

And opposite him, an Array had already been completely blasted apart by his Five-Finger Divine Thunder, leaving behind a massive, bottomless pit.

After returning from the Desert Sea, Ye Jingcheng had gone into seclusion once more.

After breaking through to the Late Stage of Golden Core, whether in terms of True Essence Amount or the degree of True Essence Condensation, it was incomparable to what he had during the Middle Stage.

And on this day a year later, he had finally brought the Five Elements Divine Thunder to the level of Great Success; when five strands of Divine Thunder shot out from his five fingers, they were definitely not much inferior to Hidden Skill Divine Techniques.

Moreover, as long as his True Essence was sufficient, in theory Ye Jingcheng could unleash this Five-Finger Divine Thunder continuously.

In Ye Jingcheng’s view, in some respects it was even more convenient than Hidden Skill Divine Techniques.

Ye Jingcheng let out a long breath.

He also looked toward the Grotto Heaven; ever since the Stone Spirit’s breakthrough, the Grotto Heaven had been changing dramatically every single day.

At this moment, just in terms of area, it was already much larger than Turtle Ancestor’s Grotto Heaven.

There were also quite a few Spirit Mountains within, among which five Pure Attribute Spiritual Veins had been elevated by Ye Jingcheng to the level of Tier Three Middle grade; although they had not reached Tier Four, they were already showing initial results in the construction of the Spirit Medicine Garden.

If, in the future, Ye Jingcheng could raise these Pure Attribute Spiritual Veins to Tier Four, then even for his Spirit Beasts they would have an excellent effect.

After sizing up the Grotto Heaven, Ye Jingcheng’s gaze fell upon a mountain peak; there, the Red Flame Fox had once again gone into seclusion and fallen into slumber half a year ago.

This made Ye Jingcheng somewhat worried as well, unsure whether the Red Flame Fox could break through to the Late Stage of Fourth Tier before the journey to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Although the breakthrough of a Small Tier would not take as long as an Advancement or a Major Tier breakthrough, it was still, after all, an uncertain factor.

After all, the Red Flame Fox could be considered a rather important piece of Combat Power on his side.

"Congratulations, Master!" As Ye Jingcheng pondered, the group of Wood Demons and Stone Spirits all stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Ye Jingcheng nodded to each of them in response, and distributed Spirit Pill Treasure Light one by one.

At the same time, he also began gathering some special Spirit Medicine and Treasure within the Grotto Heaven.

Things such as the Blood Spring, Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, Supreme Gold, Earth’s Finest, as well as treasures like the Purple Jade Vine, all had to be put away.

Since the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Righteous Sect could see through a Grotto Heaven, he naturally could not leave these Treasures on his person any longer.

Although the style of the Righteous Sect would not be as overbearing as the Penglai Immortal Sect, he still had no choice but to guard against them.

He even intended to carry only three of his seven Spirit Beasts with him; as for the remaining Spirit Beasts, he planned to have Second Granduncle and Fourth Granduncle bring them into the Earth Immortal Realm when the time came.

According to the plans of Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang, his current strength was already sufficient.

"Master, the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit has not yet formed a Blood Contract!" The Peach Wood could not help but speak up.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded, then formed a Blood Contract with the Golden Quenching Fruit Wood Demon.

This Blood Contract left the Golden Quenching Fruit Wood Demon somewhat at a loss; after all, it had been without a contract and free-range for so many years, yet today, with just a single question, it was agreed to.

To it, this truly came a bit too suddenly.

"When the time comes, you all will wait in the Desert Sea for our return first!" Ye Jingcheng also instructed the Golden Quenching Fruit Wood Demon, the Star Pear Wood Demon, the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, the Earthworm, the Moon Spirit Pearl and other Spirit Beast Wood Demon that had yet to reach Tier Four.

At this moment, the group of Spirit Beast Wood Demon were naturally rather reluctant; they had long since grown used to staying within the Grotto Heaven, and suddenly having to go out really made them feel somewhat at a loss.

The Earthworm also glanced toward the Jade Ring Rat within the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array.

The latter was still within, breaking through to Tier Three Purple Mansion.

It raised its worm head, its tree-ring-like mouth slightly opening.

Clearly, it was reminding Ye Jingcheng that the Jade Ring Rat was still undergoing its breakthrough.

"If it manages to break through, then it will enter the Earth Immortal Realm; if it doesn’t, it will also stay in the Desert Sea." Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

He calculated the time; there were still half a year left before the Earth Immortal Realm opened.

The Jade Ring Rat thus also had half a year.

After arranging all the Spirit Beasts properly, Ye Jingcheng exited the Grotto Heaven.

On Sha Huang Mountain, the Spiritual Energy was now even denser; the peaks on the mountain had also been reshaped by piling earth and stacking ridges, no longer flat and level.

After all, they had once been forcibly severed by others, which was a humiliation; now that Ye Jingcheng had broken through to Golden Core and the Celestial Sand Sect had returned to the ranks of Golden Core Sect, they naturally had to slowly restore the mountain peaks to their rightful grandeur and steepness.

Ye Jingcheng flew into the Assembly Hall.

Ye Jingnan was present, while Ye Haiyan was in seclusion; it had also been quite some time since the latter’s breakthrough to Purple Mansion, and at this moment he, too, had gone into seclusion.

"Eleventh Brother, Master Zifu, Lady He, and Feng Daoran of the Feng Family have all come looking for you." Ye Jingnan spoke directly.

As he spoke, he also took out a Jade Talisman; recorded within it were the developments of the family in the Central Domain over this past year, as well as the current Cultivation situation of the clansmen and the Celestial Sand Sect Cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng glanced over it and nodded.

"You’ve done well, but there’s no need to tire yourself out so much. You can select one or two deputies from within the clan at your discretion." After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to read the Jade Talisman.

He discovered that things weren’t much different from what he had anticipated. The number of recent auctions was even higher than before, and at the auctions held in several nearby Blessed Lands, Ye Xingliu had also helped him attend and purchase some Spiritual Objects.

It was just that the results weren’t very good. Spiritual Objects that were actually useful in the Earth Immortal Realm were far too sought-after, and Ye Xingliu never even got a chance at them.

Still, they had gathered some Auxiliary Medicine for Tier Five Advancement, which put Ye Jingcheng somewhat at ease.

"Have someone send invitation tokens to Master Zi Fu, Lady He, and a few other True Masters. Half a month from now, I’ll host them at the Celestial Dust Tavern." After Ye Jingcheng finished reading, he took out three Jade Talismans and had several people deliver them.

Saying that, he walked toward the Teleportation Array.

In one month would be the Profound Puppet Conference of the Profound Puppet Sect.

This conference would be held in Wangqing Prefecture, and Ye Jingcheng estimated that once it ended, he would have to rush to the Holy Mountain where the Righteous Sect was located.

If he didn’t hand over the Treasures and Spirit Beasts to the clan now, he might not get another chance then.

Moreover, aside from his own Spirit Beasts, he also planned to bring several Black Crows from the Black Crow Forbidden Land and the Celestial Crow Ancient Wood Demon back to the clan together.

In addition to his own Grotto Heaven and the Turtle Ancestor’s Grotto Heaven, the clan also had one Grotto Heaven from Jade Celestial Heaven.

Although the Spiritual Energy in that Grotto Heaven was somewhat weaker and the space somewhat smaller, it was still a Grotto Heaven after all.

It was more than enough to house these Demon Kings.

When Ye Jingcheng stepped into the Teleportation Array and arrived at the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, he discovered that by now more than half of the Spirit Insects in the forbidden land were gone.

Of the original hundred-plus thousand Soul-Devouring Insects, only a scant ten thousand or so remained.

And the stationed Ye Haisheng had already been replaced by Ye Qingwen.

"Eleventh Uncle." As soon as Ye Qingwen saw Ye Jingcheng, he repeatedly bowed and greeted him.

Compared to more than twenty years ago, Ye Qingwen’s complexion had turned even darker, and his body had grown more robust.

But his eyes were brighter and clearer than ever.

He stared fixedly at Ye Jingcheng’s hand.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but smile. So this Ye Qingwen still wasn’t entirely sure it was him and was confirming it.

Ye Jingcheng revealed his Beast Communication Pattern.

"Eleventh Uncle, thank you for your Spirit Pill!" With a thump, Ye Qingwen dropped to his knees and kowtowed.

"No need for this. Cultivate diligently, keep your true heart, and if in the future you have the chance to repay the clan, your old uncle will be satisfied!" Ye Jingcheng pulled Ye Qingwen up. He knew the other was thanking him for giving the Longevity Spiritual Peach to Chu Yanliu.

After all, if not for his Longevity Spiritual Peach, Chu Yanliu would likely have already ascended to the Immortal Realm by now.

"Eleventh Uncle, I was ignorant before, but I won’t be anymore!" Ye Qingwen spoke again.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng smiled faintly and took out a Golden Quenching Essence Fruit, handing it to Ye Qingwen.

"Don’t take it for the next two years." After saying this, Ye Jingcheng headed toward the Black Crow Forbidden Land.

The Profound Light Ship’s speed was extremely fast, with countless clouds streaking by beneath his feet.

...

Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

Assembly Hall on Celestial Shadow Peak.

At this moment, almost all of the Ye Family’s High-Tier Cultivators were gathered here.

There were four Golden Core Cultivators present, and more than thirty Purple Mansion Cultivators, and that didn’t even include the Ye Family’s Purple Mansion Cultivators in the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom and the Central Domain.

Chu Yanqing and Ye Yunxi had also just landed here.

Chu Yanqing’s expression carried some surprise; she truly hadn’t expected the Ye Clan itself to be here as well.

"We won’t wait any longer. Next we’ll arrange the clan’s plans!" Ye Xuecang cleared his throat and spoke up.

"What comes next concerns our Ye Clan’s thousand-year clan fortune. Everyone must be fully alert; we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes."

"Yanqing, for the next three years, you will be in charge of garrisoning Celestial Phoenix Oasis. We’ll assign you a Tier Four Spirit Puppet. Any problems?" Ye Xuecang asked.

"Please rest assured, Second Granduncle. Yanqing will certainly do her utmost!" Chu Yanqing cupped her hands.

"Stationed together with Yanqing will be Yunxi, Xing Xiao..."

After Ye Xuecang finished, he looked toward Ye Haicheng and Ye Haisheng.

"Haicheng, Haisheng, this time Hai Fei and Xuefu will rendezvous with you at Jade Cloud Islands in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain. There must be no mishaps in Chenjing Sea, and you must not disappoint the clan!" Ye Xuecang looked at Ye Haicheng and Ye Haisheng.

The mission for Chenjing Jade from the Chenjing Pirates was considered second only to the Earth Immortal Realm in danger.

But the Ye Family truly had no time to delay.

Ye Jingcheng was already in the Late Stage of Golden Core now. Once he returned from the Earth Immortal Realm, he would be able to break through to Golden Core Peak after several decades of seclusion, and he had every hope of breaking through to Nascent Soul in closed-door cultivation before the age of two hundred.

And according to what the Xilu Demon King had found out, the Demon Race would also be entering the Earth Immortal Realm. This attempt to steal Chenjing Jade would be an opportunity for the Ye Family.

"Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, please be at ease; we will certainly live up to expectations!" Ye Haisheng and Ye Haicheng spoke in unison.

This time, not only were they confident in their own strength, they had also brought quite a number of Soul-Devouring Insects, whose power when forming an Insect Array was no small matter.

"Xue Liang, this time you’ll head to the Celestial Departure Grassland. Push those affiliated clans to advance toward the Celestial Departure Grassland and Celestial Roc Valley. You might even gain some rare Spirit Medicine!" Ye Xuecang spoke again.

Ye Xueliang repeatedly nodded as well.

Now that the clan was mobilizing on all fronts, he naturally had no wish to hold them back!
