Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1370 - 968: Schemes of the Sects, Purple Moon Arrives
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Eastern Domain, Zhao Kingdom.
The Zhao Kingdom covers an expansive area, much larger than the Yan Kingdom, with a total of fifteen commanderies.
The entrance to Medicine King Valley is located within the Divine Medicine Commandery.
As the only Great Sect in the Zhao Kingdom, the Divine Medicine Valley, where its entrance resides, spans the area of one and a half commanderies, resembling a kingdom within a valley, which shows the vastness of the Divine Medicine Commandery.
Within the Divine Medicine Valley, it is further divided into countless small valleys and Spirit Medicine Gardens.
The most central hall of the Medicine King Valley is naturally Medicine King Mountain.
On the mountain, there is the highest Spirit Mountain besides the Penglai Immortal Sect of the Qin Kingdom and the largest Tier Five Spirit Medicine Garden. Within the garden, there’s not only a Tier Five High-Grade pure Wood Attribute Spiritual Vein but also two Tier Five common Spiritual Veins, with a concentration of Spiritual Energy not much less than that of a Tier Six Spiritual Vein.
This is also the source of countless high-tier spiritual medicines throughout the Medicine King Valley, and it has cultivated a large number of Nascent Soul Cultivators for the Medicine King Valley.
Besides being famous for its spiritual medicines, the alchemy skill and trading association of the Medicine King Valley are also extraordinarily renowned, with extremely close commercial exchanges with various countries and sects.
Among these, the Qingling Trading Association is particularly famous throughout the Eastern Domain.
At this moment, at the main hall of Medicine King Mountain, sandalwood smoke curls up, spiritual light flickers, and several Nascent Souls gather.
If one were to look at their robes, it would be found that there are four Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Medicine King Valley. Besides these, True Monarch Qingling from the Qingling Trading Association, Fairy Linghong from the Taiyi Sect, True Monarch Simurgh from the Spirit Talisman Sect of the Jin Kingdom, and Xueyun True Monarch from the Blood King Valley have all gathered here.
Sitting in the main seat is True Monarch Bailian from the Medicine King Valley. True Monarch Bailian achieved the Nascent Soul breakthrough seven hundred years ago and was once very famous, known throughout the world for his Hundred Forging Skill in the Alchemy Dao.
Only later, it was rumored that he perished in the Earth Immortal Realm and did not return. Now it appears True Monarch Bailian faked his death in the Earth Immortal Realm deliberately, concealing himself in the dark.
Beside the main seat, sitting in the first seat, is not a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Medicine King Valley, but a monk in a golden robe with scars.
Holding a string of Buddha Beads in his hand, he continuously rubbed and turned them.
Seeing the time was about right, he also sent a transmission to True Monarch Bailian:
"Daoist Bailian, at this discourse, Divine Monks from Jinguang Temple will be present to oversee it. You may secretly ally, but regarding the matter of the Dao Embryo, be cautious, it’s best to wait until Daoist Bai Yao achieves a breakthrough!"
As he transmitted this, the True Monarch Bailian sitting in the main seat also nodded.
He understood clearly, despite the discourse of the Medicine King Valley causing an uproar, with Jinguang Temple overseeing it, the Penglai Demon Sect has remained silent for a year.
It seems, indeed the Medicine King Valley can truly challenge Penglai.
But everyone knows, in the Eastern Domain, Penglai still holds the authority, and Jinguang Temple has no reason to intervene.
Should Penglai disregard them, no matter how much support Jinguang Temple provides, the Medicine King Valley might end up destroyed, with only the core cultivators fleeing to the Western Domain.
Thus, even if the Medicine King Valley is aware of the matter of the Dao Embryo and has methods to counteract it, they cannot openly reveal it.
Currently, it’s merely relying on the reputation of Jinguang Temple to barely hold its ground.
Only if the Medicine King Valley genuinely produces a Divinity Transformation Cultivator can it truly have the power to contend.
At that time, it would be the downfall of Penglai’s foundation.
"Everyone, Senior Brother Bai Yao is already undergoing a breakthrough. In a short a hundred years, or at most two hundred, the outcome will be revealed. By then, the Medicine King Valley and the Penglai Sect will be evenly matched, and you all will be regarded as heroes!"
"As heroes, not only will you receive alchemical aid from the Medicine King Valley, but you’ll also learn the details of a Nascent Soul breaking through to Divinity Transformation. Regarding tributes, the Medicine King Valley will not be stringent. If any of you doubt, the Golden Spirit True Monk from Jinguang Temple can bear witness."
"As for what Penglai is, and what the Medicine King is, I believe everyone has their own judgment, so I won’t elaborate further."
"I have secretly contacted the Haoyang Daoist Temple of the Lu Kingdom, the East Heaven Sect, the Sea-controlling Sect, and the Celestial Water Sect of the Qi Kingdom. Several sects have lost Nascent Soul Cultivators during the Beast Tide and are dissatisfied with Penglai’s actions. At the discourse, there’s a high probability they will side with us. As long as we unite against a common foe then, the Penglai Demon Sect won’t easily deal with all our sects!"
"As for a visit to the Earth Immortal Realm three hundred years from now, there’s no need to rely on the Penglai Demon Sect or to exchange treasures for a spot in the Earth Immortal Realm!"
"Daoist Bailian, though you say so, until Daoist Bai Yao breaks through, the discourse might bring bloody competition!" At this moment, it was True Monarch Simurgh who spoke.
The reason he followed the Medicine King Valley and relied on True Monarch Bai Yao was that he discovered that every few hundred years, whenever there were many Nascent Souls in the Spirit Talisman Sect, they would mysteriously perish in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Moreover, he unexpectedly found that the Penglai Sect possessed the core Spirit Talisman inheritance of the Spirit Talisman Sect and was secretly selling rare Tier Five Spirit Talismans.
It must be known, due to the Clan Jade Book bans or Soul Bans that each family and sect have, even cultivators two realms higher cannot completely Soul Search.
This indicates that True Monarchs who encountered misfortune in the Earth Immortal Realm might have been Soul Searched by the Penglai Immortal Sect.
This naturally left him both shocked and terrified.
Because, for a sect, Nascent Soul Cultivators absolutely know all secrets and inheritances.
This also means their Spirit Talisman Sect has no secrets before the Penglai Sect.
On this trip to the Earth Immortal Realm, he went with gritted teeth and discovered that the Celestial Corpse Sect and the Qinghe Sect’s Nascent Souls specifically targeted him for assassination in the Earth Immortal Realm.
If it weren’t for the many Nascent Souls from the Medicine King Valley, he might have fallen in the Earth Immortal Realm.
And with only one Nascent Soul left in the Spirit Talisman Sect, it probably won’t last long; at that time, the Spirit Talisman Sect might become history.
"Everyone, there will definitely be competitions, likely involving Nascent Soul duels. Everyone should be prepared, sacrifices may be necessary, but displaying the necessary momentum is crucial. Whether we can attract more Nascent Souls to join us depends on the performance at this discourse." True Monarch Bailian spoke.
