Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1293 - 907: Divine Monarch’s Attention, Turtle Ancestor’s Schemes
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
The crimson sun shone upon the desert, raising golden swirls of sand and dust.
The Peach Wood transformed into an ancient tree, casting shadows on the ground, shielding Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor from the blazing sun.
Although the scorching sun had little effect on the group and the Emperor,
the Peach Wood’s gesture still earned praise from the two elder members of the Ye Family.
Of course, their gaze remained fixed on the Illusion Array.
They could not afford to miss the opening of the Earthly Immortal Realm, as Ye Jingcheng had already entered, and most of Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts and power were actually with them.
When the time came, without waiting for Ye Xuecang to speak, the Peach Tree hurriedly extended its Spirit Root, once again probing into the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.
This time, it was a particularly arduous effort, and the Peach Wood Demon couldn’t help but exclaim, expending all its Spirit Roots to finally break the Illusion Array.
As the Illusion Array disintegrated into Spiritual Light, the ancient city was revealed, with the Earth Immortal Platform suspended within, its Spirit Patterns dazzling and countless Spiritual Energy seeping out.
Clearly, the Earth Immortal Platform was about to activate.
The reason the Peach Wood had such a hard time breaking the array was due to the Earthly Immortal Realm about to open, its leaking Spiritual Energy strengthening the natural Illusion Array.
"Go in, everyone!" Ye Xuecang immediately commanded, leading the Peach Wood and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor inside.
At the forefront was a Tier Four Spirit Puppet, followed by the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, and lastly Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, and the Peach Wood.
This formation ensured that even if unexpected events occurred, they could face them with composure.
After all, the Ye Family hadn’t been inside before, and the Celestial Sand Sect presumably entered at least several thousand years ago, which was far too long ago.
At this moment, Ye Xuecang held a sword in his hand, while Ye Xuefan held several Spirit Beast Bags and a Jade Celestial Heaven.
Inside were Ye Jingcheng’s myriad of Spirit Beasts.
The duo and the two demons quickly ascended onto the Earth Immortal Platform, where it began to manifest spirit shadow like Spirit Talismans.
These spirit shadows resembled Teleportation Talismans, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that they were not Talismans but Qi Guides.
The Qi Guides, as they had guessed, fell into their bodies.
They also felt a terrifying aura pressing down on them, leaving them somewhat breathless.
Soon, as Spiritual Light gleamed brilliantly, the Earth Immortal Platform was entirely enveloped in light.
Soon after, the Earth Immortal Platform was empty.
...
On Penglai Island, atop a hidden ground.
True Monarch Tai Peng finally opened his eyes.
He looked at the many Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators:
"Alright, the Earthly Immortal Realm is about to open, remember the sect’s instructions, few cultivators inside are easy to deal with!"
The Nascent Souls and Golden Cores nodded in agreement, among them were Sikong Ziming and Tian Dao True Monarch, Qinghe Beihai.
However, Tian Dao True Monarch and Sikong Ziming stood close together.
They looked unkindly towards True Monarch Beihai and True Monarch Qinghe.
True Monarch Beihai and True Monarch Qinghe did not take offense, merely a hint of mockery flashed in their eyes.
In the Eastern Domain, the entity not to be offended was the Penglai Immortal Sect, and now the Penglai Sect disapproved of Medicine King Valley’s actions, believing it was just a matter of time before Medicine King Valley collapsed.
Once Medicine King Valley fell, even with the combined might of the Taiyi Sect, Tian Dao Sect, and the Ye Family, Qinghe Sect barely regarded them.
Moreover, there was also the Celestial Corpse Sect overseeing things this time.
The Teleportation Array activated shortly after, and the group soon found themselves in an enormous underground hall.
The hall was entirely covered by arrays, with an altar floating in its center, which was precisely the Earth Immortal Platform.
The Earth Immortal Platform emitted dazzling Spiritual Aura, clearly indicating it was about to activate.
In front of the Earth Immortal Platform, a broad figure stood hovering in the void, gazing at the platform.
"Younger generations, pay respects to the Divine Monarch!" This figure seemingly had no Spiritual Energy, like an ordinary person, but all who saw trembled with fear.
This person was none other than one of the Divinity Transformation Ancestors of the Penglai Immortal Sect, the Tian De Divine Monarch.
Even in the face of the kneeling Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, Tian De Divine Monarch remained unfazed and composed.
He merely uttered a slight "oh," as if he did not care at all.
He continued to gaze at the Earth Immortal Platform, and after a while, as everyone hesitated to speak, Tian De Divine Monarch opened his mouth again:
"Ascend the Earth Immortal Platform, and remember to act cautiously!"
Soon, the Earth Immortal Platform lit up with blazing white light, and as a tidal surge, the hall suddenly dimmed.
Of several hundred cultivators, only a few from the Penglai Sect remained.
"Did only two come from Medicine King Valley this time?" Tian De Divine Monarch finally spoke.
His voice was slightly dry and hoarse, as if he hadn’t spoken in hundreds or thousands of years.
Nearby, a Penglai Golden Core Cultivator promptly responded continuously.
"Master Ancestor, indeed only two came, but Sikong Ziming from the Yan Kingdom’s Taiyi Sect, and True Monarch Simurgh from the Jin Kingdom’s Spirit Talisman Sect, should both be with Medicine King Valley."
"Counting this way, Medicine King Valley should have brought four Nascent Souls, those unknown in the shadows remain a mystery!"
"Are there cultivators arranged to compete for the path?" Tian De Divine Monarch asked.
"Yes!"
"Hmm, seize the path quickly, Medicine King Valley may have found their way to the Central Domain!" Tian De Divine Monarch responded.
This statement surprised the cultivator.
"Are they like the Eight Desolates Sect before?"
"Most likely, Medicine King Valley couldn’t possibly have so few Nascent Souls, the sects and forces of the Central Domain are bold, daring to secretly make moves against my Penglai!"
"Who knows how many Nascent Souls are there!"
Upon reaching this point, Tian De Divine Monarch couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, a chill flashing through his eyes.
-----------------
In the Central Domain, Daoist Mountain Range, Ye Jingcheng was transported to an underground hall.
He carefully surveyed his surroundings.
He realized that this should be underground.
And in the void, there was a floating Earth Immortal Platform.
The Spiritual Light on the Earth Immortal Platform was radiant; it appeared to be somewhat larger than the one in the Desert Sea, and at this moment, Spiritual Light surged, Spirit Patterns flickered, evidently about to release the Qi Guide and start the transmission.
Just then, a terrifying aura pressed onto Ye Jingcheng and the others, and Ye Jingcheng felt as if he was bearing a ten-thousand-ton peak instantaneously, making his breath somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the aura came and went quickly, and finally, Ye Jingcheng saw an elder in the distance.
This elder was not tall, somewhat hunched.
He wore a brown robe, with an aura that seemed nonexistent, yet his eyes were bright like stars.
The cultivators from the Righteous Sect looked at this elder with a reverence akin to witnessing a deity.
"A junior pays respects to Divine Monarch Zheng Yuan!" Voices echoed almost simultaneously in the hall.
Ye Jingcheng was naturally among them.
"Be cautious, although Earth Immortal Realm has many opportunities, after all these years, it’s not rampant. Be careful not to fall into someone’s trap," Divine Monarch Zheng Yuan nodded and advised.
Having said that, he also sat down with eyes closed, and the rest boarded the Earth Immortal Platform.
Before long, Qi Guide streams fell into the bodies of the people.
As the Spiritual Light brightened, the underground hall emptied.
The elder who had closed his eyes earlier opened them again, looking at the spot where Ye Jingcheng had left.
"Dual-Horned Bloodline Flood Dragon, Five-Tailed Bloodline Red Fox, the kid indeed has good fortune. Just don’t know whether he is related to Celestial Flood Dragon Sea and Fox Saint Hall!" The elder muttered.
"Master, is that Xiaoshan Prefecture kid with quite a background?" A Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn’t help but inquire.
It was the first time he had seen his master interested in a Golden Core cultivator.
"Master, should we investigate..."
"Hmm, investigate, but not too brazenly, do it discreetly."
-----------------
Desert Sea, Yuanling Oasis, Ye Xueliang appeared here with several from the Purple Mansion.
The hall master and vice hall master, as well as the stewards of the sub-peak, were all present.
Besides these individuals, there was also a Tai Cang Turtle nearby, sitting in the position of deputy, seemingly seeing himself as a second-in-command and protector.
Tai Cang Turtle looked at Ye Xueliang and spoke directly, stroking his white beard:
"Xueliang, hurry and make arrangements, I can guard here to ensure your safety!"
"But remember to give me the credit for first achievement, let me choose Spirit Medicine first, and give me some of the Beast Souls killed!" Tai Cang Turtle listed several demands in one go.
These demands were calculated by him, he was originally supposed to guard at Celestial Phoenix Oasis.
But guarding an oasis didn’t yield Contribution Points. Without Contribution Points, how could he, a Turtle Ancestor, have the face to stay in Ye Jingcheng’s Grotto Heaven for hundreds of years?
For now, everyone’s expressions were genuinely agreeable.
After all, Turtle Ancestor had the combat power of a Tier Four Golden Core Demon King, adding significant security to the clean-up operation.
Although this clean-up is based on the Ye Family Hidden Peak’s investigation of Spirit Medicine locations, using affiliated clans to distract demon beasts, Ye Family would then harvest Spirit Medicine.
They also capture Spirit Beasts to facilitate the awakening of Communication Beasts in the ever-growing clan, but the mountain still harbors influential Demon Kings, naturally posing significant risks.
"Tai Cang, inviting you this time is to protect Qingnian and Qingfeng!" Ye Xueliang couldn’t help but remind.
Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingnian’s cultivation was not weak, having spent considerable time developing Hidden Peak in Celestial Departure Grassland; they naturally couldn’t be left out, or otherwise, they couldn’t account to other clan members.
Despite their participation, necessary protection should not be neglected.
"No problem, no problem, I assure you, you can rely on my service," Tai Cang Turtle transmitted back swiftly.
At this moment, his eyes shifted, contemplating how to leverage the protection of Ye Jingcheng’s children to extend their residency qualification.
Furthermore, he thought the previous lake was too small to accommodate such a grand turtle.
The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s lake was exceptionally suitable.
-----------------
Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, Jade Cloud Islands, Cyan Cloud Sect.
Countless cultivators gathered here.
Their mission was to hunt more demon beasts and exchange them for more spirit stones.
Meanwhile, underground, cultivators congregated as well.
These cultivators included Ye Haicheng, Ye Haisheng, Ye Haige, Ye Xuefu, and Ye Haifei.
Simultaneously, it was as if the old Hidden Peak had gathered once more.
"Haisheng, this time we will rely on your Chenjing!" Ye Haicheng spoke, looking at Ye Haisheng.
Since the incident at Chenjing Sea last time, they were evidently more cautious, so they needed Chenjing to infiltrate.
"Rest assured, elder brother, my Chenjing now has Mid-stage Third Tier strength, nearly Late Stage Third Tier!" Ye Haisheng replied, patting his chest.
"Haige, is Cyan Cloud Sea Domain’s mention of Beast Desolate Wasteland frequent or intentional?" Ye Haicheng asked again.
"The results are promising, even Qinghe Sect agrees with it," Ye Haige replied with a grin.
They didn’t expect Qinghe Sect to fall for it directly.
"That’s good, Haifei, Uncle Xuefu, the remaining tasks are executing the Demon Hunting plan and the reception plan!"
