Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1307 - 921: Xuanming’s Scheme, Liu Huan’s Actions
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, Celestial Cloud Islands.
On Profound Sword Island, several cultivators hurried towards the grand hall.
When they reached the depths of the hall, they saw two elders dressed in Qinghe Sect’s Daoist robes engaged in discussion.
"Elder, something’s wrong..." The leading cultivator bowed and reported.
"What has you so flustered? Haven’t we told you to focus on your cultivation during these days?" One of the two elders was Xiao Yunshan from the Sword River Lineage of Qinghe Sect, and the other was Cheng Yuguo from the Qinghe Lineage of Qinghe Sect.
Due to the previous beast tide, several Nascent Soul powers in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain had emerged.
This led to all forces dropping their concealments and openly identifying as sects.
Now, the Haoran Trading Association and Profound Sword Pavilion are jointly known as the Sword River Lineage, and Taiyi Sect has also established a new power on Celestial Cloud Islands, Taiyi Sixth Peak, whose momentum and reputation rival their Qinghe Sect’s Sword River Lineage.
Of course, after experiencing the beast tide, the Nascent Soul powers once again reached a consensus: no Nascent Soul beyond the Outer Sea.
The might of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea induced fear in all sect cultivators.
Originally, the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea had only one Flood Dragon Saint; now there are two. If not for the discord between the major demon clans like Chenjing Sea and the Flood Dragon Race, the human cultivators would have long left the Outer Sea.
Moreover, the demon race loves devouring the Nascent Soul. At Celestial Horse Pass, due to the untimely support from the Penglai Sect, a Nascent Soul ancestor from each of the venerable Nascent Soul houses like the Sea-controlling Sect, East Heaven Sect, and Celestial Water Sect was slain, and even the Nascent Souls were swallowed live by those demon clans.
Therefore, in the Outer Sea, even a Purple Mansion cultivator is an elder, and a Golden Core cultivator is considered a sect ancestor-level existence.
Nascent Souls simply will not come over.
"Reporting to Elder Xiao and Elder Cheng, according to the disciples’ feedback, there has been a rapid increase in the reproduction rate of spirit beasts lately, possibly indicating the arrival of a true beast tide, and many of the arrays set up in some parts of the Outer Sea have also been cleared out, with some disciples even going missing. In addition, Taiyi Sect’s cultivators have been spreading word of the Beast Desolate, and now many are claiming that the Beast Desolate is orchestrated by our Qinghe Sect themselves..." The disciple reported, his voice growing smaller.
"The Beast Desolate is most likely the Ye Family; since they’re so ostentatious, they might try to frame us once more. Let them withdraw the disciples who are collecting beast souls to refine the Profound River Infinite Sword Array. This year, with the absence of the two ancestors, let them be arrogant for a while!" Xiao Yunshan commented.
Speaking, he took out several jade talismans, documented the sect order, and had the disciple take them away.
After the disciple left, Xiao Yunshan and Cheng Yuguo’s eyes both lit up with excitement.
"They are finally going to make a move, just as Master Xuanming predicted!" Xiao Yunshan remarked, and the two disappeared from the grand hall, heading towards the closed seclusion cave behind the mountain gate.
Upon reaching a cave mansion with a heavily fortified array, the stone door instantly opened.
The two entered and found, besides Master Xuanming, two other figures casually chatting nearby.
"Master Xuanming, Senior Uncle Qingzhi, Senior Uncle Yunhe!"
The remaining two were also Golden Core members from the Qinghe Lineage of Qinghe Sect.
"Has there been any recent activity?" True Master Xuanming, whose true essence was now vigorous, had obviously reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
"Reporting to Master, just as you expected, the Ye Family from the Beast Desolate indeed wants to frame us, and the Taiyi Sect is also fanning the flames, acting as cover."
"Hmph, they won’t be complacent for much longer. Once the Earth Immortal Realm ends, forget the Beast Desolate; even Taiyi Sect’s Tian Dao Sect will be completely annihilated. By that time, the entire Yan Kingdom will fall into our Qinghe Sect’s hands. Along with Senior Brother Qingxi’s breakthrough, with three Nascent Souls in our sect, we might contest for the Upper Tier Nascent Soul Sect status!" True Master Xuanming coldly retorted.
After speaking, he looked at the other two Golden Core cultivators.
"Senior Brother Qingzhi, Junior Brother Yunhe, on this day, we must see to it that those who incite the beast tide are executed, and collect evidence of them being from the Beast Desolate. The only slight issue is that Senior Brother Xi Wang has already perished, so the strength of the Ye Family might not be underestimated. We’ll need to use Senior Brother’s Ten Thousand Miles Mirror to record their methods from afar; even if they want to silence witnesses, should any Nascent Soul appear, those Demon Emperors won’t sit idly by!" True Master Xuanming stated.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator with a dark spot on his forehead slowly nodded.
If Xuanming had suggested to kill them directly, he might have been concerned, but since it’s just using the Ten Thousand Miles Mirror, there’s no worry.
His Ten Thousand Mile Mirror Magical Treasure was acquired from a Secret Realm of the Eight Desolates Sect, boasting endless wondrous uses, and is his proudest possession.
"The only one to watch out for is Taiyi Sect’s True Master Liu Huan."
"Although just a True Master, their array skills are superb, and their temperament has grown increasingly peculiar in recent years; they should not be underestimated!" True Master Xuanming instructed.
-----------------
Purple Wood Island, once the mountain gate of the Purple Wood Sect, it has now become the Sixth Peak of Taiyi Sect.
Compared to when it was under Ye Family’s control, the island is visibly larger, and the mountains stand even more elegantly picturesque.
The peaks are covered with numerous peach blossom trees, the drifting petals fluttering in the air.
Accompanied by a light drizzle, they fall into the mud.
This makes the earth richly fragrant, weaving together into a beautifully exquisite pink floral carpet.
A female cultivator in a purple robe, a Tier Two White Fox lying prone in front of her, eyes closed, practicing a cultivation technique.
Soon, a spirit talisman flew in from outside the peach grove and landed in the female cultivator’s hand.
The female cultivator was Liu Huan, who had been acquainted with Ye Jingcheng years ago.
And five years ago, shattered the mansion and formed her pill, becoming a Golden Core cultivator.
After reading the content of the spirit talisman, her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
Though she hadn’t seen Ye Jingcheng these years, she clearly understood that the Ye Jingcheng on Lingyun Peak was not the real Ye Jingcheng.
She had seen him from afar once, and despite the resemblance,
But if it’s not, then it’s not. She couldn’t say why, but she just felt it wasn’t.
Of course, she also felt it wasn’t the Master Tianfu who seized a body.
Adding the subtle relationship between the Ye Family and the Taiyi Sect made her have some suspicions in her heart.
Therefore, when she first heard the news of the Beast Desolate Wasteland in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, she was very surprised.
Upon learning that it started spreading at some unknown time, and later, the Qinghe Sect began to fan the flames, she had the hidden cultivators slowly guide the Beast Desolate Wasteland back onto Qinghe Sect’s orchestrations.
"If they truly intend to make a move, with so much time, how could the Qinghe Sect be unprepared? Moreover, the Qinghe Sect’s Qingzhi the Daoist also has a Ten Thousand Miles Treasure Mirror, which is said to be able to glimpse a trace of a celestial secret, and the latter just happened to not enter the Earth Immortal Realm." Liu Huan couldn’t help shaking her head, her eyes full of worry.
The jade talisman this time was also some news from the outer sea collected by the Taiyi Sect cultivators, and she had some suspicions in her heart.
But it was precisely because she had suspicions that she felt the Ye Family’s actions this time were too risky.
She just couldn’t get in touch with the Ye Family.
After hesitating a few times, she also took out a jade talisman.
Before long, her newly accepted disciple landed in front of the peach grove.
"Master!"
"Take this jade talisman and give it to your Senior Sister Qianshuang, remember, it can only be given to Senior Sister Qianshuang, not even to other True Masters." Liu Huan instructed.
Qianshuang is Ye Qingshuang’s Daoist title.
After giving her instructions, she took out another token and prepared to hold a Golden Core trade fair on the Celestial Cloud Islands.
This could also hold some Golden Core cultivators in place.
As for more, she was powerless.
After giving the instructions, she stood in front of the peach grove as the breeze blew the petals, landing on her forehead, while the waves in the distance seemed to be more turbulent.
The white fox scurried over, and somehow, some petals had also fallen on its fur. It crouched before her knees, looking at her with its blue eyes.
"You fox, do you perhaps understand peach blossoms too?"
-----------------
In Taichang Market, Ye Qingyan still remained in the market to oversee things, and with Ye Qingyan’s breakthrough, various new benefits of the Ye Family were also making the business of the Pill Pavilion increasingly prosperous.
The occasional sale of Tier Three Spirit Pills attracted many Purple Mansion Foundation Establishments to seek pills.
However, Ye Qingyan still seemed somewhat absent-minded at this moment.
Everything learned from the Celestial Protection Commandery Secret Realm made him increasingly worried.
And at this moment, Ye Qingshuang hurried over eagerly.
"Big brother, there’s a jade talisman from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain here, quite urgent, saying it should be opened by the Patriarch Ye alone!" Ye Qingshuang did not beat around the bush.
The jade talisman was sent by Liu Huan, and she naturally knew it was probably of great importance.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyan’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
"Qingshuang, I’ve recently taken a pill formula and need to refine an important spirit pill. Could you take it to Lingyun Peak!" Ye Qingyan said, also handing two Jade Soul Pills to Ye Qingshuang.
The family has a detection array and several pillars, perhaps now is the chance.
Thus, Ye Qingyan hurriedly suggested.
"Alright, I happen to be free." Ye Qingshuang nodded.
Ye Qingyan also sensed that Ye Qingshuang’s cultivation was significantly higher than before.
Even he couldn’t quite discern Ye Qingshuang.
"Qingshuang, are you about to breakthrough to the Late Stage of Purple Mansion?" Ye Qingyan asked.
"Not yet, but it should be soon. These days, the sect gave more Spirit Pills, and coupled with the Spirit Pills from big brother, I’ve become quite a medicine pot!" Ye Qingshuang also said joyfully.
Of course, there was quite a bit of humility in her words, which made her all the more delighted.
Ye Qingyan’s cultivation was at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, as was Ye Jingteng’s. Now that she’s about to breakthrough to the Late Stage of Purple Mansion, she naturally was happy.
If one day, she could become a Golden Core True Master in the sect, supporting another layer of mountain for the Ye Family, becoming the ideal cultivator in her uncle’s eyes, and gaining his praise when she met her Eleventh Uncle again, this life would be enough for her.
"Qingshuang, your True Essence, I see, is not superficial, but you must remember to advance step-by-step!" Ye Qingyan added.
With that, he took out a Tier Three Spiritual Ship.
But Ye Qingshuang waved her hand.
"No need to worry, big brother. Qingshuang has a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Ship rewarded by the sect, so I can get to Lingyun Peak faster!" Ye Qingshuang said with a smile.
Ye Qingyan nodded and said no more.
After Ye Qingshuang left, Ye Qingyan continuously took out the family clan order, trying to communicate with Ye Jingyu.
