Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1295 - 909: Are You Three from the Secret Realm of Earth Immortals?
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
In the Earth Immortal Realm, atop a mountain cliff, Qing Feng swept across, causing the robes to rustle.
Ye Jingcheng stood at the edge, looking at the three people, with calmness in his eyes.
"Since you are not from the Nine Great Immortal Sects, aren’t you afraid?" The broad-faced cultivator among the three exhaled deeply and asked again.
But this time, Ye Jingcheng did not answer.
He first assessed the two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, then the remaining one who was mid-stage Golden Core, and finally, he examined their attire.
"Then, may I ask if the three of you are from the Nine Great Immortal Sects?" Ye Jingcheng asked calmly.
"Hahaha, your friend is truly joking?" The leader, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator with a slightly fresh scar on his face, laughed heartily.
As they laughed, their hands behind their backs already began to activate the array.
As the array enveloped the scene, it would transform into a trapping array to enclose Ye Jingcheng.
Their earlier inquiries were half testing, half discreetly setting up the array.
The Earth Immortal Realm is vast, and they naturally couldn’t guard one place forever, hence the array was set up temporarily.
Now that the time was ripe, there was no need for further concealment.
Three array banners flew out, and at the same time, the three of them each took out three magical treasures.
A sword, a spear, a thunder bow!
All the magical treasures were Tier Four High-Grade Treasures; normally, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would be desperate and use all means to flee upon seeing them.
However, before they noticed, a Secret Realm Entrance suddenly appeared behind them.
At the same time, the Red Flame Fox, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, and the Golden Scale Beast emerged one after another.
Although Ye Jingcheng had confidence in killing the three men, he considered how not to leave any survivors or future troubles.
He naturally would not hold back.
So he secretly let the Grotto Heaven stealthily position itself behind.
To those who could besiege him, he naturally didn’t believe the three were from the Nine Great Immortal Sects.
At this moment, members of the Nine Great Immortal Sects were probably using sect information to search for treasures everywhere, no time for robbery here.
The three beasts’ main attack targets were the two late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
The Red Flame Fox’s Five-tailed Illusion Technique activated, targeting the scarred face cultivator. By the time he reacted, a five-colored fire lotus was already floating towards him.
Among the lotus flames, the cyan color was especially enchanting, making him panic involuntarily.
Upon seeing the three attack treasures fall upon the Tier Four Forbidden Army Shield on Ye Jingcheng, they could not advance at all, and his tightly furrowed brow began to show a hint of fear.
"Friend, there’s been a misunderstanding!" the scarred face said as he explained, while at the same time summoning a Cold Pattern Silver Shield.
The silver shield rapidly enlarged, exuding a biting chill, clearly forged from thousand-year-old outer cold iron.
However, upon colliding with the five-colored fire lotus, a terrifying, piercing sound echoed through the void, and the cold shield was quickly consumed by the flames.
The Cyan Yang Flame continued advancing towards the cultivator.
"This fire!" Even though the cultivator reacted quickly, he was still slightly burned.
No matter how he tried, he couldn’t extinguish it, and he felt his vitality continuously draining away.
This scene frightened him greatly.
He immediately swung his flying sword, severing his own arm.
Then he performed a secret technique, causing the arm to regenerate with blood.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was already enveloped by the Golden Scale Beast’s Gravity Divine Light, making him immobile even as a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, since he wasn’t a body cultivator.
As firelight faded from the eyes of the Red Flame Fox,
the Purple Flame Heart Flame ignited on him again.
Then a hall of the Earth Qilin descended upon him, suppressing him within as it exploded.
The late-stage Golden Core cultivator perished instantly, leaving only a pile of flesh fragments, some magical treasure remnants, and a few storage bags.
"Senior Brother Wang!" The slaying happened in an instant; the other two finally reacted, the mid-stage Golden Core among them, obviously from the same sect as that cultivator, with eyes full of hatred, wildly flinging out several magical treasures.
The remaining one fled directly.
But the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s strength and speed were unbelievably fast; once the Profound Cold Domain transformed by the Profound Cold Storm was deployed, the surroundings were filled with ice and frost, countless raindrops fell, transforming into ice knives and ice cones, covering the late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Finally, as the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon spewed a Cold Dragon, it immobilized the cultivator, and with the fall of an ice knife, the late-stage Golden Core cultivator was instantly severed in two.
His eyes widened, even in death staring at the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s two horns, three claws, and dragon whiskers.
"Friend, I have a Celestial Treasure Rat, capable of seeking Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects. As long as you spare me, I’ll give you the Treasure Rat willingly!" The remaining mid-stage Golden Core repeatedly pleaded.
But it was already too late; with Ye Jingcheng’s Xi Wang Blood Mother Sword slashing forth, and three Spirit Beasts besieging, even though two Tier Four Spirit Talismans were released,
Ye Jingcheng slew him with one swift sword.
Ye Jingcheng collected all their storage bags and magical treasures, and the Dream-Devouring Worm devoured the residual souls.
Although this might give the Dream-Devouring Worm a chance for advancement, at least there’s more information to be gleaned.
After tidying up, Ye Jingcheng took a glance at their Spirit Beast Bag, indeed discovering a Celestial Treasure Rat within.
These Spirit Rats are not strong, but given their considerable treasure-seeking abilities, wild ones often break through to the Third or even Fourth Tier.
The one in this storage bag was a mid-stage Third Tier Celestial Treasure Rat, estimated to be the reason the three men besieged Ye Jingcheng, as the Celestial Treasure Rat probably detected the scent on Ye Jingcheng.
"I’ll spare your life for now!" Ye Jingcheng collected the Spirit Beast Bag, then unleashed a Fire Array to erase traces from the scene.
He then selected a direction and swiftly darted away.
...
Another two days passed, Ye Jingcheng arrived before a towering Spirit Mountain.
The spiritual energy on this mountain was exceptionally dense, but the spiritual objects on the mountain were just young seedlings.
Beside the seedlings, there were also some traces of previous harvesting, indicating someone had already been here.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but sigh. Although he had the Blood Spring, he still didn’t harvest them.
In the Earth Immortal Realm, there’s already a consensus not to pick young spirit medicines.
Because the spiritual energy in the Earth Immortal Realm is more abundant, many rare spirit medicines can grow three to four days’ worth in just one day.
Three hundred years can equal the age of a small millennium-old medicine.
This is also why after so many years, there are still plenty of spirit medicines in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Even some Divinity Transformation Immortal Sects, upon discovering young Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng or precious young spirit medicines, would cultivate them within the Earth Immortal Realm.
"There are secret realms even in the Earth Immortal Realm!" In Ye Jingcheng’s palm, a Void Spirit Insect emitted spiritual aura, its teeth becoming extremely excited.
Ye Jingcheng then took out an array to cover the entire Spirit Mountain.
He was curious to know if there was a Tier Four Secret Realm here. If there was, Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t be able to enter, making it a good hiding place.
After all, when the Earth Immortal Realm reaches the latter half of the year and Nascent Soul cultivators come seeking, if one doesn’t have their own Nascent Soul cultivator for protection, they might get robbed several times in a day.
Although the Ye Family had the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, it still wasn’t particularly secure.
If there was a Tier Four Secret Realm, with the number of Demon Kings in the Ye Family, they could even hold their ground against descendants of an Immortal Sect.
After setting up the array, Ye Jingcheng descended into the mountain, not immediately searching for the secret realm, but waited for a quarter-hour.
Soon, two figures appeared before the array.
Both were wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes, obscuring their features, only their builds were roughly visible.
They looked at each other, then patted their waists, releasing a Tier Four Golden Falcon that soared across the mountain.
As the Golden Falcon appeared, the array instantly opened.
Ye Jingcheng met the two:
"Second Great Uncle, Fourth Great Uncle."
"Jingcheng!" Seeing the Golden Falcon rush towards Ye Jingcheng and circle in front of him.
Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan confirmed it was indeed Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Xuefan took out Jade Celestial Heaven, and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor descended before Ye Jingcheng.
"Jingcheng, it has been confirmed. Descendants of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea and those Divinity Transformation demon races might also appear here!" the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor said.
That day when threatened by cultivators from the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, it used the name of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, and the other party did not react with surprise. This indicates that the cultivators and demon races coming from the Great Yu Realm likely congregated in one area of the Earth Immortal Realm.
If the Ye Family could encounter a solitary Chenjing or Celestial Flood Dragon or other high-tier demon races, there might be an opportunity to act.
Killing in the Earth Immortal Realm, even those Divinity Transformation demon races cannot trace it back.
Of course, the Ye Family must ensure absolute confidence before taking action.
"Thank you, Dragon Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, taking out some spirit pills to restore true essence for the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.
But the latter waved his hand.
"Barely consumed any true essence along the way, most Golden Cores would step aside!" the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor shook his head, handing a storage bag to Ye Jingcheng.
"Take all these spirit medicines!"
Ye Jingcheng looked inside the storage bag, full of joy.
Inside were over a dozen rare spirit medicines, including a Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree and a Gold Condensing Fruit.
The yield from the Ye Family’s expedition was considerable.
"Thank you, Dragon Ancestor, once out, these will be converted to contribution points and refined into spirit pills for you!"
"The Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree didn’t have enough vitality, so I didn’t try to transplant it!" the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor explained.
"No problem!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand.
Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan also took out a storage bag, seemingly intending to give their treasures to Ye Jingcheng.
However, Ye Jingcheng shook his head directly.
"Second Great Uncle, Fourth Great Uncle, keep the treasures with you, so they won’t be taken by the Righteous Sect at a bargain!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, giving his storage bag and some acquired spirit treasures to Ye Xuefan.
"Second Great Uncle, Fourth Great Uncle, there’s a secret realm here. Let’s explore first; maybe you’ll find a place to hide!" Ye Jingcheng gestured towards the mountain peak as he spoke.
Ye Xuefan was surprised, as he hadn’t sensed the secret realm at all.
But seeing Ye Jingcheng release the Void Spirit Insect, which appeared eager, he nodded knowingly.
"That Wan Family really proved to be a blessing for our Ye Family!" The Void Spirit Insect, a previous offering from the Wan Family, proved useful in the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Indeed." Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuecang smiled.
Ye Xuefan handed a spirit beast bag of peach wood to Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng released the Void Spirit Insect, letting it fly towards the mountain peak, where it landed in front of a dilapidated cave.
The three followed closely, the cave appeared quite ruined, with a small pond inside.
The water in the pond was extremely clear, with no signs of life within.
The Void Spirit Insect headed towards the bottom of the pond, landing on an ordinary stone.
"Could there be mysteries within this stone?" Ye Jingcheng and the three couldn’t help but feel delighted.
