Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1376 - 973: Entering the Battle, Wariness
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Amidst countless cultivators flying, numerous array banners fell among the mountains, reassembling the array of Medicine King Mountain.
Everyone was still recovering from a moment ago, feeling apprehensive.
At this moment, it wasn’t just those in Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion Golden Core who were shocked by the power of the Nascent Soul.
Even a group of Nascent Souls were somewhat terrified by the strength of the late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator.
In the Cultivation Realm, Divinity Transformation cultivators rarely make a move, so the most ordinary cultivators can admire is a late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator.
While marveling at the cultivator’s strength, everyone looked towards the pavilion of the Ye Family.
After all, the fact that the Ye Family could make the Medicine King Valley act so boldly means the Ye Family couldn’t be simple.
Even though they hadn’t asked, they all suspected that the biggest beneficiary of the beast tide in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain was the Ye Family. Connecting it with the Ye Family’s expertise in Beast Taming, they were even more certain.
Immediately, cultivators speculated on which Demon Emperors in the Taihang Mountain Range might be related to the Ye Family.
After all, among the Nascent Soul cultivators related to the Ye Family, they couldn’t think of anyone, but there are many Demon Emperors in the Taihang Mountain Range.
The Medicine King Valley again received them with Nascent Soul power specifications.
Among those paying attention were also True Monarch Tai Peng.
He promised not to inquire about the upcoming events, so he naturally wouldn’t pursue it further, but his eyes became deeper, also looking towards the Ye Family.
Just that one glance made Ye Jingyu’s hair stand on end, as if being stared at by a Celestial God, facing divine punishment at any moment, causing his body to tremble.
The difference between late-stage Nascent Soul and Purple Mansion Peak was too great!
"Have everyone be more cautious!" Ye Xuecang transmitted to Ye Jingyu, bringing him back from that terror.
Clearly, True Monarch Tai Peng’s pressure only fell on Ye Jingyu. Among the Ye Family’s party, Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng were too composed to show any flaws, and Ye Jing Hu’s cultivation was too low to be important.
More crucially, Ye Jingyu now still appeared as Ye Jingcheng.
"Thank you, Second Uncle Ancestor!" Ye Jingyu repeatedly cupped his hands.
"Since the two seniors have put on a show for us, I, a junior, boldly wish to debate the Dao with everyone, receiving all Purple Mansion realm cultivators!" In the midst of everyone’s musings, Qingfeng Ascendant flew out and landed on the platform.
Though he said he would discuss the Dao with all Purple Mansion cultivators, his gaze never fell on Ye Jingyu or Ye Jing Hu.
At this moment, he also knew that with the support of Medicine King Valley, no one could do anything to the Ye Family. However, in a debate on the Dao, one bears their own life and death. If he killed a Ye Family Purple Mansion, it would still be a major achievement.
He even felt he might gain the favor of True Monarch Tai Peng from Penglai Immortal Sect, in which case, never mind the Golden Core, he felt he might even have a chance at Nascent Soul.
At the thought of this, his entire True Essence surged with excitement.
"I’ll go!" As Ye Jingyu was about to step up, Ye Jing Hu held him back.
"I’m at the peak of the middle stage of Purple Mansion. He’s late Purple Mansion; losing won’t be embarrassing, of course, I won’t lose!" Ye Jing Hu said.
The other party had provoked them to this extent; the Ye Family naturally couldn’t play coward. The Medicine King Valley could help them withstand the pressure, but the Medicine King Valley would also observe whether the Ye Family had strength worth supporting.
The Cultivation Realm has always respected only the strong!
He stopped Ye Jingyu also because he now appeared as Ye Jingcheng, and if the cultivation techniques and spirit beasts he exhibited didn’t match up, it would be too easy to expose them.
Although the exposure wouldn’t have a significant impact, Ye Jing Hu felt it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Besides, after so many years of cultivation, he was no longer who he had been!
"Perform well!" Ye Xuecang hesitated for a moment but also nodded.
Ye Jing Hu was now over a hundred years old and approaching the late Purple Mansion stage. He was likely to become the next Golden Core in the Ye Family after Ye Jingyu and Ye Haige.
This was also considered a training opportunity for Ye Jing Hu.
It was true that Qingfeng Ascendant was a Sword Cultivator, but Ye Jing Hu was also a Thunder Cultivator.
Throughout history, in terms of combat power, Thunder Cultivators have never been weaker than Sword Cultivators.
As Ye Jing Hu stepped out, the ten-zhang-high debate platform began to expand and was covered with a massive array.
This would ensure they wouldn’t affect anything outside the platform.
"Qinghe Sect’s Qingfeng Ascendant, seeking advice from Beast Desolate Wasteland!" Qingfeng Ascendant cupped his hands.
"Stop playing tricks with words. We, the Ye Family, are from Lingyun Ye Family. If you want advice from Beast Desolate Wasteland, go find it elsewhere!" Ye Jing Hu snapped angrily.
"Here, there’s only your Grandpa Ye, Ye Jing Hu of the Jing generation!"
"Sharp-tongued!" Seeing through the insult, Qingfeng Ascendant was utterly infuriated.
Holding a sword embryo in his hand appeared in an instant.
The sword embryo of a Sword Cultivator can be condensed at the Purple Mansion stage.
The sword dao inheritance of Qinghe Sect isn’t weak, naturally having a Lifebound Sword Embryo.
And this sword embryo is renowned, called the Gale Sword Embryo, with the sword intent of Gale Sword Intent.
The sword struck like a gale; the pervasive sword intent filled the sky, and the sword embryo slashed straight at Ye Jing Hu’s forehead.
"Condense!" Ye Jing Hu muttered, gathering a thunder ball in his hand, transforming it into a Celestial Spirit Thunder Spear that shot forward.
Boom!
The power of the sword embryo was clearly not something ordinary secret techniques could resist.
With one strike, it shattered the thunder spear into countless thunder lights, scattering it, and the sword embryo continued slashing toward Ye Jing Hu.
However, Ye Jing Hu took out a Thunder Bowl Treasure, tossed it into the sky, gathered the thunder lights, not only dissipating the sword qi but also sending remaining thunder lights toward the sword embryo.
Qingfeng Ascendant’s face changed drastically in an instant.
"This is Yin Soul Thunder from Yin Soul Thunder Bamboo!"
He quickly withdrew the sword embryo, withholding it within his body. This Yin Soul Thunder specifically polluted treasures, particularly damaging divine senses attached to treasures.
"You are a demon cultivator!"
Ye Jing Hu ignored him, there were plenty of demon cultivators here! He just wanted to teach the latter a good lesson.
Besides the Thunder Bowl treasure, he also took out three Thunder Spear treasures, which shot towards Qingfeng Ascendant.
The speed of the Thunder Spears was even faster than ordinary arrows, making them almost invisible.
Qingfeng Ascendant’s face darkened again, and with a pat of his hand at his waist, fifty swords flew out.
These swords did not slash but scattered like array banners, transforming into countless cyan sword lights in the next moment.
The cyan sword lights pierced at Ye Jing Hu’s Thunder Spears; despite not being able to do much initially, there were simply too many cyan sword lights.
And even when Ye Jing Hu activated the Thunder Bowl, it could not take effect.
The sword lights were not physical objects nor did they have Divine Sense attached.
"This is a Tier Three Top-Grade Sword Array; today you will surely lose!" Qingfeng Ascendant spoke with full confidence.
He had initially not intended to use this sword array but could not allow Ye Jing Hu to steal the spotlight.
Seeing the sword array, Ye Jing Hu hesitated not, and with another press of his hand, behind him appeared a Thunder Roc and a Thunder Tiger.
Both beasts were late-stage third tier and mid-stage third tier.
Both were covered with Celestial Thunder Spirit Patterns, and the Thunder Tiger’s eyes seemed to contain special Divine Techniques.
Making his Heart Spirit feel as if it had been struck by Celestial Thunder.
When his Heart Spirit returned, he saw his sword array already torn apart by Ye Jing Hu and the two demon beasts.
Furthermore, a Thunder Spear shot towards him.
Frightened, he took out several Spirit Talismans in succession, forming three Spirit Shields, while releasing a Tier Three Shield Treasure to finally block it.
"Unfair!" Qingfeng Ascendant raised his hand and began to complain.
"The Ye Family gave him all the spirit beasts, this is just a discourse!"
But Qingfeng Ascendant’s complaint was met with no response, as he himself had first used the Tier Three Top-Grade Sword Array.
Meanwhile, Ye Jing Hu shot another Thunder Spear.
Qingfeng Ascendant did as before, with three Defense Spirit Talismans and one Tier Three Defense Treasure.
At this moment, Ye Jing Hu couldn’t help but admire Qingfeng Ascendant for the sheer amount of Spirit Talismans he possessed.
But what Qingfeng Ascendant didn’t see was Ye Jing Hu’s slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Boom!
This Thunder Spear was not just condensed Celestial Spirit Thunder Spear but also contained a Tier Three Top-Grade arrow, Thunder-Breaking Arrow.
As the shield shattered, the Thunder Arrow continued to shoot at Qingfeng Ascendant, who repeatedly activated his Lifebound Sword Embryo to block, but due to the haste, it only made the Thunder Arrow deviate, passing through his shoulder.
Due to the rich Thunder Essence, half of his shoulder exploded.
Seeing Ye Jing Hu’s two spirit beasts also approaching, he jumped off the platform in terror.
"I concede, I concede!"
Ye Jing Hu saw the other’s ragged figure, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected Qingfeng Ascendant to react swiftly; that hit he had planned was meant to be fatal.
Ultimately he could only injure half of his shoulder.
"Ye Jing Hu of Ye Family wins!" True Monarch Bailian announced.
"The Ye Family truly produces prodigies, causing envy!"
True Monarch Bailian was naturally delighted with the Ye Family’s victory.
Most importantly, he saw that the Ye Family had indeed many spirit beasts.
He didn’t believe Ye Xuecang, Ye Haicheng, Ye Jingyu were without spirit beasts.
This indicated the Ye Family truly has formidable combat power, making it a good partner.
A few days ago, he had negotiated with Celestial Water Sect, Haoyang Daoist Temple, East Heaven Sect, among others, but they clearly refused to join Medicine King Valley.
Currently, those openly supporting Medicine King Valley are only Spirit Talisman Sect and Blood King Valley.
The discourse continued onwards, yet it was not favorable towards the side of Medicine King Valley, as sects from all around came, with only Blood King Valley and Spirit Talisman Sect aiding Medicine King Valley.
During this time, Ye Xuecang also made a move, bringing out Thunder Roc Demon King and Three-eyed Demon King, defeating the later stage Golden Core cultivators of Celestial Corpse Sect with his mid-stage Golden Core power, greatly diminishing their prestige.
It also made more cultivators become wary of the Ye Family.
After all, since the Ye Family has a Three-eyed Demon Roc, it surely means the Celestial Cyan Wolf Emperor belongs to them.
Previously, the Three-eyed Demon Roc had led the Celestial Cyan Wolf Emperor to instigate a Beast Tide.
Some even speculated if the other two Demon Emperors involved in that Beast Tide were also connected to the Ye Family.
At this moment, even True Monarch Tai Peng was silent.
He recalled encountering the Fox Saint during the last Beast Tide.
The other had immediately detected him using a Spirit Treasure to infiltrate.
If the Ye Family is associated with the Fox Saint, and Medicine King Valley becomes dominant in the future, an alliance between the two would be even more difficult!
The anticipated Nascent Soul discourse did not occur.
After another day, the discourse finally ended.
