Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1353 - 956: Celestial Roc’s Courage and Inquiry

The vast Desert Sea is boundless, and even in late spring, the scorching sun is particularly blistering.

Only the Yuanling Oasis holds a giant Yuanling Lake, where the surface ripples with emerald waves, and the lakeside is lush and green.

A Spiritual Ship flies over, and two figures descend, none other than Ye Jingcheng in simple attire and Chu Yanqing.

This time coming to Yuanling Oasis, the risks and dangers are not large, so Ye Jingcheng simply brings Chu Yanqing to unwind.

The latter mentioned that since arriving in the Desert Sea, they haven’t really had a chance to explore much.

Now that he has broken through to the Late Stage of Golden Core, and is nearing Golden Core Peak, it’s fitting to take Chu Yanqing on a journey without only honing his mindset but also accompanying Chu Yanqing.

Otherwise, once he breaks through to Golden Core Peak, he will need to constantly go into seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

At that time, it would probably be another thirty or forty years in seclusion.

"The development speed of the oasis here is quite rapid, there’s already at least ten more oases now!" Chu Yanqing stood by the lake, her graceful figure swaying. Instead of looking at the Spirit Fish in the Yuanling Lake, she pointed to the sparse green dots in the distant Desert Sea and commented slightly nostalgically.

These green dots are newly emerged oases, currently encircling Yuanling Oasis like a group of Imperial Guards.

Chu Yanqing’s last visit to Yuanling Oasis was decades ago, back then, there were not so many oases here.

"The affiliated clans’ plan is quite good!" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but laugh as well.

These oases were established by the affiliated clans of the Ye Family.

Since the Ye Family’s oasis lacked manpower for its own development and cultivation, it couldn’t possibly use additional Tier One Spiritual Veins to cultivate new oases.

As Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing talked and joked, watching the Yuanling Lake, several cultivators flew over from within the oasis.

Leading them was Ye Qingfu, followed by Ye Qingnian and Ye Yunxuan.

"Eleventh Uncle, Eleventh Aunt!"

"Father! Mother!"

"Eleventh Great Uncle, Eleventh Great Aunt."

...

Each person spoke individually, and Ye Jingcheng nodded in acknowledgment.

Ye Jingcheng even heard the title of Great Uncle among them.

Currently, the oldest of the Teng Generation in the Ye Family are in their forties.

Even after another decade, the Zhi Generation of the Ye Family will start to emerge.

After over fifty years of development, the Ye Family’s mortals in the Desert Sea have increased from several million to over thirty million.

There are over eight thousand cultivator race people, including five thousand three hundred with Ye Family bloodline.

This doesn’t even include the Ye Family’s Foreign Affairs Tower and affiliated forces.

"Eleventh Uncle, let’s discuss once we enter the Assembly Hall!" Although Ye Qingfu was eager to report, out of the Ye Family’s caution, he decided to wait until inside the Assembly Hall, even if Ye Jingcheng is the highest cultivation cultivator in the Desert Sea.

Once they entered the Assembly Hall and arranged the Array, Ye Qingfu first took out a map, then a Jade Talisman.

The map depicted the Celestial Roc Ridge and Celestial Abyss Mountain Pass, also marking some Spirit Medicine Land and various Demon Kings’ territories.

It even included some map annotations of the opposite Profound Crocodile Valley across the Celestial Abyss Mountain Pass.

Inside the Jade Talisman, there was a Spirit Shadow in the form of a Bald Phoenix, fluttering and exhibiting Spiritual Fire Divine Techniques.

"Eleventh Uncle, this is that strange Spiritual Phoenix, nephew investigated the information, and it resembles the legendary Seven Nirvana Phoenixes the most, and it was already Mid-stage Third Tier at birth. Given some time, it might break through to Late Stage of Third Tier..."

Ye Qingfu once again reported the matter of Ye Qingfeng and Bald Phoenix in detail.

And pointed out the location of the Spirit Mountain on the Spirit Diagram.

"Have all affiliated clans and Hidden Peak Cultivators retreat a certain distance from the mountain range." After hearing this, Ye Jingcheng’s expression became more serious.

The ancient archives have sparse records about the Seven Nirvana Phoenixes, only knowing this demon bird can choose Nirvana Rebirth and restore its Demon Dao when nearing death.

This phoenix bird possesses high cultivation and has a strong sense of consciousness, along with followings from Demon Kings, very likely one of the Seven Nirvana Phoenixes yet to awaken its memories.

For Ye Qingfeng, this demon bird indeed possesses great talent but is not suitable as a Communication Spirit Beast.

Currently, the Ye Family doesn’t have enough strength to confront the Seven Nirvana Phoenixes race backing it.

Without a Communication Beast Contract, even if this phoenix bird currently bears no ill intent, changes could arise in the future.

Especially as the Earth Immortal Realm concludes, those Demon Saints and Demon Emperors will be free once more.

Right now, Ye Family’s strength is insufficient to handle even one Demon Saint. An arrival of a Mid-stage Fifth Tier Demon Emperor alone would be tremendously challenging for the Ye Family.

"Continue delivering the Spirit Pills and blood meals as arranged!" Ye Jingcheng proceeded to add.

"Nian’Er, Yun Xuan, Feng’Er is already in seclusion, you two should work harder." After speaking, Ye Jingcheng also handed some Spirit Pills to them.

He additionally checked the progress of Ye Qingnian’s Spirit Beast.

The Rock Python advanced to Tier Two Late Stage, while the Silver Moon Flood Dragon reached Tier Two Peak, approaching Tier Three.

The cultivation is quite satisfactory.

After examining, Ye Jingcheng proceeded alone to enter the Celestial Departure Grassland.

His pace was swift, reaching deep within Celestial Roc Ridge within a day, all while Ye Jingcheng hadn’t used the Spiritual Ship’s Concealment feature.

Soon, he arrived at Deer Forest.

The Xilu Demon King was settled here.

"Master!" The Xilu Demon King sensed Ye Jingcheng’s aura, which felt much stronger, and his emerald eyes showed considerable fear.

"You’ve done well!" Ye Jingcheng tossed out three Pill Bottles, each containing a Tier Four Spirit Pill, which brought great joy to the Xilu Demon King.

These Spirit Pills are not common; consuming one allows the Xilu Demon King half a month’s training, equivalent to years of arduous cultivation.

"Master, that Phoenix Spirit might be from the Phoenix Saint Hall, likely protected by Demon Emperors afterward. Even though Celestial Roc Demon Emperor returned to Celestial Roc Ridge, he hasn’t visited here..." The Xilu Demon King stored the Spirit Pills, and seemingly recalled something, repeatedly opening its mouth.

Its demeanor displayed signs of fear; where once it held its head high with arrogance, now it lowered its deer head in cautious apprehension.

"Hmm hmm, protect that phoenix bird at times, it’s beneficial to you." Ye Jingcheng suggested.

"Master, this is what I found in the Celestial Roc Ridge and Profound Crocodile Valley." The Xilu Demon King produced a Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag contained numerous rare Spirit Medicines.

The affiliated forces’ exploration indicated that Ye Family couldn’t expect every affiliated force to hand over all prized Spirit Medicines.

Given that Ye Family couldn’t yet detect Grotto Heaven or some Sumeru Treasure.

Hence, they instructed the Xilu Demon King to gather rare Spirit Medicines first.

Later, to be swept by those affiliated clans and Ye Family Hidden Peak Cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng checked the Storage Bag, discovering a noteworthy amount of good Spirit Medicines inside.

Although not comparable to the Earth Immortal Realm’s findings, they’re far better than those of Tier Four Secret Realms.

Upon storing the Storage Bag, Ye Jingcheng cast a gaze toward the distant sky, where the Celestial Roc Demon King resided on Celestial Roc Ridge, with a Tier Five Red Cloud Iron Rhinoceros Wood nearby.

After looking afar, Ye Jingcheng turned his attention back to the Xilu Demon King, lowered his voice, then inquired.

"How daring is the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor?"

As this question arose, the Xilu Demon King was startled but soon responded:

"The courage is likely not significant, and quite fearful of death!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded affirmatively.

The inquiry about the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor was made with specific consideration.

Although his Soul Contract capacity is stretched, once he breaks through to Nascent Soul, an encounter with one or two Nascent Soul Demon Emperors poses no issue.

For Ye Family to grow swiftly, relying solely on arduous cultivation won’t suffice; they must seek some self-preserving Demon Emperors and Kings to bring wider coverage in Communication Beast.

Ultimately, matching the cultivation techniques with Communication Beast is essential; otherwise, the effect could be halved or completely lost.

"Notify me when the phoenix bird leaves!" Ye Jingcheng glanced into the deep distance, hesitating to go there.

It’s possible nothing happens to Ye Qingfeng since Ye Qingfeng, likely being in Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion, poses no threat.

However, if Ye Jingcheng approaches, he might inadvertently be perceived as a potential threat, making explanations impossible even if he wanted.

His purpose in visiting the Celestial Departure Grassland was two-fold: to see the phoenix bird and observe the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor.

Currently, neither goal can be achieved, yet at least both races show no signs of initiating a Beast Tide.

Ye Jingcheng’s worries are hence alleviated.

Counting this time’s Demon Hunting gains, apart from Communication Beast Pattern awakening, cultivators can experience Soul Injection two to even three times!
