Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1371 - 968: Schemes of the Sects, Ziyue Arrives
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
His brows furrowed, scanning the surroundings.
Of course, his gaze mainly rested on Xueyun Monarch from Blood King Valley.
Among the Nascent Soul Cultivators present here, there was no need to glance at Fairy Linghong, since she was arranged by True Monarch Bai Yao for the Taiyi Sect, and True Monarch Simurgh had been frightened in the Earth Immortal Realm and couldn’t possibly turn to Penglai.
True Monarch Qingling needed no mention, as he was supported by Medicine King Valley’s merchant guild.
Only Xueyun Monarch from Blood King Valley wasn’t fully reliant on Medicine King Valley’s side.
"Truth be told to fellow Daoists, Celestial Corpse Sect has arranged some affiliated forces that frequently invade our Blood King Valley’s territory. Naturally, I support Medicine King Valley," Xueyun Monarch proclaimed.
Only then did True Monarch Bailian nod.
...
About ten days later, countless Spiritual Ships were flying within Divine Medicine Valley.
Naturally, each Spiritual Ship was led by a Medicine King Valley Spiritual Ship.
The Ye Family’s Spiritual Ship followed the Taiyi Sect’s Spiritual Ship, and there weren’t many people onboard, only about a dozen.
Leading them were Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng, followed by Ye Jing Hu and Ye Jingyu.
Among the remaining seven, three people had Ye Family bloodline, and four did not, but all seven had considerable talent.
"The spiritual energy in Zhao Kingdom is indeed abundant. If Spirit Medicine were nurtured here, a hundred years might equate to a hundred and ten years or more," Ye Jing Hu couldn’t help but marvel.
This was well-known since he had already visited Central Domain and experienced its spiritual energy.
Yet, even Central Domain’s spiritual energy was no match for Divine Medicine Valley.
"Medicine King Valley has fully opened its Spirit Veins, previously hidden," Ye Jingyu explained beside him.
His appearance remained as Ye Jingcheng’s despite Penglai and Celestial Corpse Sect being aware of the Bone Transformation Pill, as the Ye Family’s appearance in Medicine King Valley was a gamble that Penglai wouldn’t make a move for now.
And gambling on Medicine King Valley secretly supporting the Ye Family.
This support needn’t be prolonged, just sufficient to transition the Ye Family until they were fully established in Central Domain.
Furthermore, Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuecang’s presence already revealed that the Ye Family had secrets.
The Ye Family’s only concern was failing breakthroughs by Medicine King Valley’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
At that time, perhaps Jinguang Temple would withdraw from Eastern Domain, and Penglai Sect would initiate a new bloodbath.
Nascent Soul breakthroughs to Divinity Transformation are no simple task.
Though few cultivators had reached Nascent Soul stage in the Eastern Domain, it wasn’t rare either. However, breakthroughs to Divinity Transformation in the last two thousand years saw success only in the Flood Dragon Race’s Demon Saint.
This wasn’t because no one attempted; many sought it but succeeded not, nor did they leave a legacy.
In secret, countless heavenly talents perished with regret, unable even to face the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
"Second Elder, Master Ziyue is here!" At that moment, a cultivator approached the Ye Family’s Spiritual Ship.
This cultivator was none other than Ye Qingshuang’s mentor, Master Ziyue.
Beside Master Ziyue was also Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang had reached the peak of the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, and upon learning of the family’s surviving elders, she was naturally overjoyed.
"Ye Daoist, your Ye Family has concealed things quite well from the sect," Master Ziyue couldn’t help but comment.
"Ziyue Daoist, this indeed caused a misunderstanding with the sect. After the Taoist discussions, we will definitely go to Taichang Mountain Range to apologize. We have just returned from the mountain range, having narrowly escaped death there, with our Soul Talismans shattered, leading the clan to believe we had ascended!" Ye Xuecang replied respectfully.
"The sect’s Golden Core cultivators mostly met their end in the Earth Immortal Realm this time; no need for apologies. This strengthens our Taiyi Sect, and I’m sure Linghong Sect Leader will be pleased!" Master Ziyue shook his head.
"I hear your Ye Family has something to report?" Master Ziyue quickly inquired.
"It’s the Demon Emperor’s deployment in Taihang Mountain Range and reports of some rare Tier Five Spiritual Medicines," Ye Xuecang handed over the Jade Talisman, as if their escape was truly a grueling effort from Taihang Mountain.
Master Ziyue accepted the Jade Talisman, scanned it, then nodded.
As Ye Xuecang prepared Spirit Wine and Spirit Tea for a reception, Master Ziyue moved toward the front Spiritual Ship, declining the offer.
Ye Qingshuang followed closely.
Once they departed, Ye Jing Hu looked at Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng.
But he was promptly glared at by Ye Haicheng and hurried back into the Spiritual Ship.
The Ye Family indeed planned to report some matters: if Medicine King Valley’s Divinity Transformation appeared, the Ye Family’s Demon Refining Pillar could indeed provide Proof, allowing Penglai to dramatically lose reputation in a day within Eastern Domain.
It would serve as the Ye Family’s pledge, to have Medicine King Valley protect their magical treasures.
But the Ye Family wouldn’t disclose specifics.
Suggesting subtly would suffice.
As for contacting Medicine King Valley, the Ye Family couldn’t; the only contact possible was through Fairy Linghong.
Thus, the Ye Family also intended to connect with parts of Taiyi Sect’s Golden Core cultivators.
But Master Ziyue arrived.
Master Ziyue, being Ye Qingshuang’s teacher, was suspicious, so the Ye Family naturally kept silent about certain matters.
If Penglai learned of the Demon Refining Pillar, the Ye Family might quickly become history, akin to the Eight Desolates Sect.
"Let’s report after meeting Fairy Linghong," Ye Xuecang conveyed through a Transmission.
"Prepare yourselves. This Taoist discussion might be extremely perilous. However, if you perform well, it might also be your opportunity!" Ye Xuecang gazed at Ye Jing Hu and the others, as well as the remaining Ye Clan members.
Among these members were those from Qing Generation, Yun Generation, and Teng Generation.
"Ye Daoist!" Just as the Ye Family approached Medicine King Mountain, a Spiritual Ship appeared from afar.
It was the Tian Dao Sect.
Although Tian Dao Sect lacked Tian Dao True Monarch, they had a fair number of Golden Core cultivators.
Leading them was Master Mo Dao.
Despite disliking Ye Family’s secrecy, they still needed to rely on them.
Tian Dao True Monarch had left instructions to allow the Ye Family to take control.
Even if the Ye Family didn’t display Nascent Soul combat power, they firmly believed Ye Family possessed it.
Qinghe Sect hadn’t launched a massive invasion, suggesting it might be due to Ye Family’s Nascent Soul presence and Taiyi Sect’s Fairy Linghong.
Otherwise, without a single Nascent Soul, despite Qinghe Sect having Penglai Sect’s support, logic would dictate a sweeping conquest to unify Yan Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm.
"Mo Dao Daoist, let’s discuss further once we reach Medicine King Mountain’s foot," Ye Xuecang transmitted to Master Mo Dao.
Though Master Mo Dao previously connected with Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu.
But now with only Ye Xuecang openly among them, he naturally needed to handle the greeting.
This Taoist discussion took place at Medicine King Mountain.
Medicine King Mountain had the most abundant spiritual energy, and True Monarch Bai Yao might be there attempting a breakthrough, thus Medicine King Valley’s legitimacy stood firm.
Upon the Spiritual Ships reaching the front of Medicine King Mountain, they saw in the sky the dense Spiritual Radiance and the towering Spirit Mountain, even Ye Jing Hu and Ye Jingyu couldn’t help being astonished.
Taiyi Five Peaks and Ye Family’s Celestial Shadow Peak felt towering as if piercing into the Nine Heavens, but they paled in comparison to Medicine King Mountain.
Contemplating Penglai Demon Sect’s Penglai Mountain left them imagining even greater magnitude.
"The forces of Eastern Domain have all gathered!" Ye Haicheng observed and spoke.
The Spiritual Ships from various forces were easily distinguishable, with cultivators from over a dozen sects present.
Not to mention those Golden Core Influences and Golden Core Sects.
Even before Sikong Ziming’s Nascent Soul celebration and wedding, this overshadowed everything.
"Penglai hasn’t arrived yet," Ye Xuecang narrowed his eyes, inwardly relieved.
The Taoist discussion hadn’t begun; if Penglai prematurely came to question Ye Family, it would complicate matters.
But once the discussion started, Jinguang Temple’s Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation appeared, making the Ye Family less noticeable.
"Fellows, before the Taoist discussion begins, Medicine King Mountain hasn’t opened yet. Please, fellow cultivators, kindly rest at the Guest Welcoming Palace before the mountain gate!" A Medicine King Valley cultivator descended from above, greeting with a respectful bow.
