Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1340 - 943: True Monarch Gui Xuan, State Governor Purple Puppet

The ethereal spiritual radiance hung eternally in the sky, as a figure, carrying a large-eared Spirit Rat, moved with mysterious steps through the mountain ranges.

"Squeak!" The Spirit Rat, having darted for a while, waved its claws repeatedly.

The cultivator, clad in a Spirit-Blocking Robe, upon seeing this, followed the direction indicated by the claws, moving aside.

After darting for dozens of miles, they plunged into the underground, concealing their form, attaching a Spirit Talisman to suppress their aura.

This figure was none other than Ye Jingcheng, with the Jade Ring Rat on his shoulder.

After coming out from the Secret Realm, the disturbances in the depths of the Upper Immortal Realm grew increasingly intense, with more and more Nascent Soul cultivators rushing inside.

Ye Jingcheng had already encountered five Nascent Souls along the way, and this was currently the sixth.

The only good news was that these Nascent Souls seemed eager to reach the depths and didn’t care about him, a Golden Core who had come out from within.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t dare to take out the Ancient Treasure Spirit Coffin either. Although its ability to conceal aura was stronger, he couldn’t risk these Nascent Souls taking notice of his Ancient Treasure. If they didn’t initially covet it but were drawn by the Ancient Treasure, it would be a great injustice.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Jade Ring Rat on his shoulder once again squeaked, signaling Ye Jingcheng it was time to set off.

Ye Jingcheng took out a Spirit Pill for the Jade Ring Rat and infused it with some Treasure Light.

Despite the Jade Ring Rat’s cultivation being only at Tier Three, it indeed provided great assistance to Ye Jingcheng in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Its ability to ignore arrays with its hearing had allowed Ye Jingcheng to avoid danger several times.

Ye Jingcheng planned to increase the efforts in cultivating the Jade Ring Rat upon returning to the family. Currently, the Ye Family was least lacking in resources.

If cultivated well, the Jade Ring Rat might still play a significant role three hundred years from now.

They retraced their steps, heading towards the outside.

Although he possessed Peach Wood, he didn’t dare to recklessly venture in the Upper Immortal Realm at this moment. There was no Secret Realm here, and if he was seen using Peach Wood by a Nascent Soul, it wouldn’t be unexpected for those Nascent Souls to harbor malicious intent.

That Zhang Zhiqiu, upon seeing his Peach Wood, pursued him so relentlessly. In the Upper Immortal Realm with more Nascent Souls, he naturally wouldn’t take such risks.

Thus, tracing his path back was the most prudent approach.

"Is the Spirit Medicine inside a Divinity Transformation Elixir?" At this moment, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but glance towards the depths of the Upper Immortal Realm.

The disturbances there showed no sign of diminishing, growing even more intense.

With the Star Illusion Eye, he could faintly perceive Flood Dragons soaring and Red Phoenixes darting, among many other phenomena.

After a glance, Ye Jingcheng dared not linger any longer, shaking his head and dashing towards the outside.

...

A half day’s time passed in the blink of an eye, and the Jade Ring Rat squeaked once more. Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng again dashed aside.

Eventually, he hid beneath a small mountain once more.

The closer he got to the outside, the fewer Nascent Souls appeared, and Ye Jingcheng felt increasingly at ease.

However, just as Ye Jingcheng thought this instance was like the others, the Jade Ring Rat incessantly squeaked.

"Master, they’re coming!" The ears of the Jade Ring Rat perked up further, panic filling its eyes.

"We’ve been noticed!" Ye Jingcheng’s expression turned cold, feeling quite troubled.

Indeed, while no Nascent Souls in the depths attacked Golden Cores, outside, a Nascent Soul was already lying in wait.

Ye Jingcheng surfaced and changed direction, dashing straight away.

Upon surfacing, he saw a Ghost Banner in the distance, pursuing him.

Above the Ghost Banner, the faint figure of an elder wearing a Ghost Robe appeared, their escape speed startlingly fast.

"True Monarch Gui Xuan!" Ye Jingcheng’s expression drastically changed.

He hadn’t expected such a fateful encounter in the Earth Immortal Realm; the pursuer was indeed True Monarch Gui Xuan, a Nascent Soul from Gui Xuan Sect.

The other had evidently recognized him as the Qianchen from Celestial Sand Sect.

Ye Jingcheng dared not be careless, immediately taking out the Profound Light Ship, fleeing in flight.

At this moment, even if discovered, he couldn’t care.

He needed to quickly reach a nearby Secret Realm, where fighting to the death with True Monarch Gui Xuan would be the most prudent situation.

Otherwise, it would be easy for True Monarch Gui Xuan to escape.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s Earth Dragon Demon Emperor could not be exposed. If exposed, he couldn’t return to the Central Domain from the Righteous Sect’s Earth Immortal Platform.

"You young one, why flee? This old man merely wants to ask you a few questions, not take your life!" The voice of True Monarch Gui Xuan echoed from behind.

It seemed as if he were truly just a cultivator asking for directions. In the Earth Immortal Realm, if a Golden Core met a Nascent Soul, many would give up escaping, proactively offering up 80% of their treasures in exchange for a sliver of vitality.

Ye Jingcheng had even specifically taken out some treasures, placing them in a Storage Bag, planning to offer it and some treasures if he encountered not-so-greedy Nascent Souls, to exchange for safe passage.

However, after recognizing True Monarch Gui Xuan, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t stop. The opponent had recognized him too; he had killed that Ghost Rage Zhenren, who was a descendant of True Monarch Gui Xuan. Although not closely related, encountering him would undoubtedly leave no survivors.

Ye Jingcheng paid no heed to the shouts, even taking out a Spirit Talisman, attaching it to the Spirit Ship, propelling the Nine-sided Spirit Sail to its limit, significantly boosting his escape speed.

Yet, despite this, the distance between them continued to close.

"You’ll regret this!" True Monarch Gui Xuan’s voice exploded in Ye Jingcheng’s mind.

A Ghost Sound Secret Technique suddenly appeared, and the Spirit Jade around Ye Jingcheng’s neck instantly lit up, transforming into a Jade Light, protecting Ye Jingcheng.

Although the Spiritual Ship faltered, it still shot forward, causing True Monarch Gui Xuan’s Ghost Claw to miss.

This Jade that lit up with spiritual light was precisely the Apricot Soul Jade refined by Chu Yanqing.

Of course, this Apricot Soul Jade is only of Tier Four, its protective capabilities are not exceptional.

But it happened to be able to conceal the fluctuations of Ye Jingcheng’s Blood Soul Bead.

Even if True Monarch Gui Xuan suspected, he couldn’t confirm it at this moment.

The mystery of Spirit Treasures compared to Ancient Treasures is precisely at this point.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the Secret Realm still at some distance away, and his expression turned cold.

He pressed one hand on the Storage Bag, and the other on the Spirit Beast Bag, and also sent a transmission towards the Grotto Heaven.

Just as Ye Jingcheng was ready to fight desperately, a sword light rapidly approached from afar.

The terrifying sword light, incredibly fast.

Headed straight towards True Monarch Gui Xuan.

"Old Ghost Gui Xuan, as a thousand-year-old ghost, do you really have the nerve to attack the younger generation of Southern Wilderness Province?" a voice of ridicule rang out.

The cyan sword light at this moment also slashed onto the Ghost Banner.

In an instant, the sword light and the Ghost Banner completely occupied the entire space.

Evil spirits darted about, the sword light shone brightly.

The two were at a stalemate for a moment, but beside the sword light, a Beast Puppet appeared, rushing towards the Ghost Banner at terrifying speed.

Causing True Monarch Gui Xuan on the Ghost Banner to suffer a hidden loss, several demons were torn into spiritual light and scattered.

"Humph, Liu Wude, you only rely on numbers with that old puppet guy Purple Puppet, do you take pride in that?" True Monarch Gui Xuan raised a hand, sending out a Bone Claw that knocked the Tier Five Spirit Puppet back hundreds of feet, and coldly said.

After speaking, he fled backward.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, fighting without treasures is most unwise, for if injured, one might easily be targeted by other Nascent Souls. Besides, being currently at a disadvantage, he naturally didn’t want to linger any longer.

As he fled, he couldn’t help but glance at Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng also sensed the icy gleam in True Monarch Gui Xuan’s eyes.

When True Monarch Gui Xuan fled, they didn’t notice a similar icy gleam flashed through Ye Jingcheng’s eyes.

However, quickly, Ye Jingcheng’s expression changed, he descended from the Spiritual Ship, bowing in respect.

"Junior pays respects to Lord Governor Liu and Senior Purple Puppet True Monarch."

The two who arrived were none other than the Governor of Southern Wilderness, a Nascent Soul Sword Immortal, and the middle-aged man in the purple robe beside him was the Nascent Soul of the Profound Puppet Sect, Purple Puppet True Monarch.

At this moment, his eyes were full of the joy of surviving a disaster, and also the shock of the Nascent Soul’s methods.

Of course, these were deliberately displayed by Ye Jingcheng.

In Ye Jingcheng’s opinion, the means of the three in front of him were far inferior to those of Sikong Ziming the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor on the surface, at least.

However, he was still a Golden Core Cultivator after all.

"I’ve heard Junior Xiao speak of you, indeed you are impressive, but the Upper Immortal Realm is not a place for Golden Core cultivators like you. Leave the Upper Immortal Realm as soon as possible!" Lord Governor Liu couldn’t help but say.

Though he was a Sword Cultivator, without drawing his sword, he did not exude oppressiveness, rather offering a refreshing feeling like being bathed in the spring breeze.

"Your Excellency is correct, I was driven by other Golden Cores, not realizing they intended to set me up. I barely escaped with my life, and then I encountered True Monarch Gui Xuan, otherwise, my treasures might have been snatched!" Ye Jingcheng nodded in response.

Simplifying the reason for his presence in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Considering the intentions of Mansion Master Wang and Mansion Master Xiao, Ye Jingcheng was undoubtedly meant to hide.

"This is the rendezvous point set by the sect, proceed there!" Lord Governor Liu nodded.

He didn’t say much, just took out a Jade Talisman, instructing Ye Jingcheng to go there to meet.

Then he took out a Jade Talisman.

"This Jade Talisman is meticulously refined by me, able to unleash thirty percent of my Sword Intent. It might be challenging for Nascent Souls, but Golden Core cultivators would all have to detour. Considering your offense to Gui Xuan Sect in the previous operation, take it for your protection!"

This Jade Talisman was only palm-sized, somewhat similar to a Talisman Treasure.

Ye Jingcheng did not refuse, expressing continuous gratitude and even presented a Storage Bag with intentions to offer some Tier Four Spiritual Medicine.

But was waived away by Lord Governor Liu.

"Your Excellency, inside is..." Seeing that Lord Governor Liu and Purple Puppet True Monarch were not in much of a hurry, Ye Jingcheng tentatively asked.

"Don’t ask too much, it’s not beneficial for you. We also need to be on our way, you should get out of the Upper Immortal Realm quickly!" This time Lord Governor Liu did not respond but glanced at Purple Puppet True Monarch.

Then the two headed deeper within.

Ye Jingcheng then hurriedly continued towards the Lower Immortal Realm.

Having been through this ordeal, Ye Jingcheng felt a more urgent desire to leave.

And upon reaching the outskirts of the Upper Immortal Realm, besides Nascent Soul cultivators, the appearances of Golden Core cultivators became more frequent.

Clearly, many Golden Core cultivators had entered the Upper Immortal Realm seeking treasures, just like Ye Jingcheng.
