Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1391 - 988: Physical Breakthrough, Golden Spirit Root
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
The place where Ye Jingcheng is in seclusion is at the very center of the entire spiritual vein. Now, after two years, the core spiritual vein has reached Tier Five Lower Grade, and with the effect of the spirit vein array group, it is even stronger than some Tier Five Middle Grade spiritual veins.
To help Ye Jingcheng breakthrough, the family even spared no expense in setting up an additional Spirit Releasing Array in his cave dwelling, using thousands of upper-grade Spirit Stones.
In this way, the concentration of spiritual energy in the spiritual vein is not much different from that of a Tier Five High-Grade, with only the quality of the spiritual energy being slightly lacking.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng stands at the center of the spiritual vein, with Five-Phase Spiritual Energy surging around him, making his entire body flicker like a five-colored glaze.
With his True Essence compressed to the extreme, Ye Jingcheng even feels that his physical body is beginning to transform.
The barriers he encountered while cultivating the Barbaric Tyrant Body Secret Manual are now melting away like snow and ice, slowly dissipating.
The Dao follows nature, and all methods return to one.
Clearly, the breakthrough in cultivation would also enhance the physical body, so this time, even without taking spiritual medicines and elixirs for body forging, his physical body is set to break through.
Ye Jingcheng is naturally delighted by this, and he quickly takes out some body-forging Spirit Pills, as well as a Golden Quenching Essence Fruit.
Currently, it takes a very long time for the Gold Refining Spiritual Milk to elicit even a drop, and he has none left now.
However, at this moment, spiritual medicines and objects are merely icing on the cake for the physical breakthrough and would not have much impact, with or without them.
With the consumption of the Spirit Pill and Primordial Fruit, less than half a month passes before Ye Jingcheng’s body suddenly shudders.
Immediately, a burst of Spiritual Light erupts, and with the Barbaric Tyrant Body Spiritual Patterns falling upon his body, an unprecedented surge of Blood Qi soars to the heavens.
Ye Jingcheng’s physical body has finally reached the Golden Core Realm.
In this way, Ye Jingcheng can be considered half a practitioner of dual cultivation of body and spirit, which fills him with immense joy.
Of course, the breakthrough in the physical body is just a small episode. Achieving Golden Core Perfection, with Dao Patterns manifesting auspicious signs, is currently his most important task!
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng quickly calms himself, sitting on the Profound Lotus Spirit Grass, continuing his seclusion.
Six years ago, Ye Xuecang had almost recovered and had reforged his Lifebound Sword Embryo, leaving the Profound Lotus Spirit Grass available.
Currently, Ye Jingcheng has only refined one layer of the Treasure Communication Technique in the Profound Lotus Spirit Grass, but sitting on the spirit grass, it feels like sitting in a lotus flower, and the whole world seems serene.
His body and mind become calm like an ancient well, and some Dao Rhythms constantly emerge from him, remarkably aiding his breakthrough in the Great Realm.
Ye Jingcheng’s Five-Colored Golden Core shines with increasing Spiritual Light.
...
As Ye Jingcheng continues his seclusion, the entire Celestial Phoenix Oasis grows quiet, and the Mountain Protection Array is nearly fully activated, with a Celestial Phoenix and a Yellow Dragon continuously galloping across the sky.
The outings and returns of Ye Family Cultivators are strictly controlled.
For the Ye Clan, whether Ye Jingcheng breaks through is their most significant matter, and even if there are no enemies in the Desert Sea, they cannot let their guard down.
The development on the Celestial Departure Grassland outside the Celestial Roc Ridge has also slowed down.
Only the spirit beasts being tamed and the Spirit Fields being cultivated on the grassland are increasing.
...
Ten years quietly pass by, and atop Celestial Conceal Peak, the aura of spiritual energy grows stronger, but for the entire Ye Clan, many clan members have already become accustomed to the phenomenon in the sky.
Today is again the Ye Family’s Immortal Ascension Conference, where over a thousand Immortal Seedlings once more gather at the Ye Family’s Celestial Shadow Peak Square.
Besides the Immortal Seedlings, the once-every-three-years mortal town chiefs are also present, each filled with excitement. After all, just the height of Celestial Shadow Peak alone is beyond their sight.
Ye Haicheng also appears here, still in charge of the entire Desert Sea.
As he walks over, he sees Ye Xuefan approaching.
Compared to Ye Haicheng, Ye Xuefan appears much more haggard, but at this moment, the sense of joy in Ye Xuefan’s eyes is as dazzling as the sun at dawn.
"Fourth Uncle, it’s done?" Ye Xuefan, being an Array Master, is naturally responsible for setting up the array for Ye Jingcheng’s tribulation.
Although Ye Jingcheng has refined two Spirit Treasures, as well as an Ancient Gemstone Coffin, Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Core Thunder Tribulation has always been stronger than a typical Golden Core Tribulation, and the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation is definitely at least of upper-level Nascent Soul strength.
For such a Thunder Tribulation, all caution is warranted.
"It’s done. According to the Chess Heaven Pavilion inheritance, the Five Elements Profound Pure Celestial Spirit Array was set up, integrating the Taiji Celestial Spirit Bing Fire Array, All Things Qiankun Wood Array, Infinite Divine Light Sunflower Water Array, Nine Heavens True Yang Earth Array, and Chaos Breaking Sky Geng Metal Array. Even though the materials used were a bit coarse, I believe it will still be help enough for Jingcheng to pass the tribulation!" Ye Xuefan said confidently.
Over the years since leaving the Earth Immortal Realm, he has mostly not been cultivating but either researching Spirit Gathering Arrays or Tribulation Crossing Arrays.
Reaching the Golden Core is already an immense fortune for him.
Reaching Nascent Soul is too distant a goal, but he knows the Ye Family most needs High-tier Array Masters.
For these ten or more years, he has drunk quite a bit of Enlightenment Tea before finally succeeding in setting it up.
Each of these five arrays is a Tier Four Top-Grade Array. When combined, they are nearly as powerful as a Tier Five Array, which gives Ye Xuefan great confidence even in the face of Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.
Now, looking at the increasing number of cultivators in the clan on the square, conducting spirit testing in an orderly manner, even though tired, their eyes are full of joy.
They have witnessed the Ye Family rise again from the depths of adversity.
Therefore, for the clan, the Immortal Ascension Conference, the excitement in their eyes far exceeds that of the Qing Generation or Yun Generation.
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!" Ye Haicheng repeatedly bows, wanting to invite Ye Xuefan to rest, but Ye Xuefan shakes his head in refusal.
Before the Ye Family’s Immortal Ascension Conference, the youngest generation is now the Zhi Generation.
And this time, he has received news that the Far Spirit Branch intends to bring a surprise.
He wants to see what surprise Ye Qingfu spoke of.
With the appearance of the two, high-ranking officers of various clan halls of the Ye Family, including Ye Xueliang, also appeared beside the plaza, having received the news.
Upon seeing Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng here, they all came to the side of the viewing platform.
The Immortal Ascension Conference was still managed by the Ye Family’s Miscellaneous Hall and Clan Study Hall. Although Ye Xingxiao was already in the Purple Mansion stage, she remained the vice hall master of the Miscellaneous Hall and continued to oversee the Clan Study Hall. In front of her, several Ye Family members each managed a Spirit Testing Platform.
However, as this round of spirit testing commenced, just like in the past, most of the spirit roots were Three Spirit Roots, Four Spirit Roots, or Five Spirit Roots, with low affinity. Rarely did the spiritual light rise more than five or six feet on the Spirit Testing Disc.
After an hour, viewing over six hundred participants, there were only eight Dual Spirit Roots and one hundred and eight Three Spirit Roots.
At that moment, a bright-eyed boy with a sharp gaze walked up, carrying a wooden sword on his back.
Upon seeing this boy, Ye Qingfu at a distance couldn’t help but smile, sparking curiosity among all clan members.
Sure enough, as the boy touched the Spirit Testing Disc, golden light shone brilliantly, as if a blazing sun had appeared.
"Golden Spirit Root!" Everyone’s eyes showed surprise.
Even though it had been so long, the Ye Family only had two with Celestial Spirit Roots—Ye Yunxi, who was nearing the late stage of the Purple Mansion, and Ye Qingfeng with a Fire Spirit Root.
Now with the emergence of a Golden Spirit Root, it was naturally a huge joy for the Ye Family.
"What’s your name?" Even Ye Xingxiao personally stepped forward. Unlike before, in the Desert Sea, Celestial Spirit Roots, Abnormal Spirit Roots, and even Dual Spirit Roots could receive the admiration and reverence of everyone.
"In response to Upper Immortal, my name is Ye Jian, and I aspire to become a swordsman!" The boy, although young, had an exceptionally firm gaze, and he took out the wooden sword and began to perform in public.
At first, people didn’t understand what the boy was doing.
Only Ye Qingfu kept observing the expressions of other Ye Family members.
Seeing those clan members become increasingly pleasantly surprised at the boy’s performance, Ye Qingfu couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
This boy was not merely about having a Golden Spirit Root; his sword Dao talent was quite strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to resist revealing some of the information prematurely.
"From now on, just call me Ancestor Xingxiao!" Ye Xingxiao was naturally surprised repeatedly and couldn’t help but give the boy an approving thumbs-up.
To them, this swordsmanship was naturally rough, but this was only a ten-year-old boy.
Moreover, his gaze seemed somewhat familiar to Ye Xingxiao.
"From now on, you’re named Ye Zhijian!" Simultaneously, Ye Xingxiao announced the boy’s generational name. Blood tests confirmed that Ye Jian held Ye Family bloodline, which meant he would have another opportunity to modify fate with a Beast Communication Pattern in the future.
When Ye Zhijian stepped aside, the Immortal Ascension Conference resumed.
However, there were no other promising seedlings; only a boy named Ye Qing tested for Fire and Wood Dual Spirit Roots, with quite a good affinity.
As the Immortal Ascension Conference concluded, Spiritual Energy converged on the mountaintop, and two anomalies appeared in the void simultaneously.
"Form array!" Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan spoke simultaneously.
These anomalies were not Purple Mansion anomalies but Golden Core anomalies.
To their surprise, Ye Haige and Ye Jingyu broke through to the Golden Core at the same time!
This meant the sixth and seventh Golden Cores of the Ye Family would appear today.
Additionally, one was an Array Master, and the other cultivated Dual Wind Spirit Roots and Body Spirit, significantly enhancing the Ye Family’s combat power.
The two beams of rosy light almost vied with each other, both grand in scale. Clan elders like Ye Haicheng couldn’t help but speculate on what ranks their Golden Cores would form.
During the observation, Ye Xuefan also reached his designated spot for tribulation crossing and initiated his grand array.
Now was the time to test the power of this newly acquired array.
However, only one array was activated, as it was just a Golden Core thunder tribulation; one array was enough.
The array activated was the Array of All Things Qiankun Wood.
This array had a greater effect on healing injuries, though its defense was a bit weaker, allowing Ye Haige and Ye Jingyu to better exercise their bodies.
Specifically, Ye Haige, practicing Dual Cultivation of Body and Spirit, needed such honing the most.
In no time, Ye Haige moved quickly, reaching the array’s center faster than Ye Jingyu could form a Golden Core.
Thunder tribulation soon descended, and as it did, the light of the Array of All Things Qiankun Wood activated. A series of wooden vines interlaced to form a giant mushroom umbrella. When the thunder tribulation seeped through the wooden vines, barely any thunder power remained. Ye Haige even opted to confront it with his body, leaving his Magical Treasure aside.
After the thunder light dissipated, Ye Haige was thrown to the ground, but only his Daoist robe was damaged, and his injuries were minor.
He grabbed an array banner and adjusted the array’s power.
This better facilitated consolidating cultivation and refining the body.
His Body Refining cultivation technique was also the Profound Desolate Dominator Body Secret Manual, and at the Golden Core Realm, he achieved the Dominator Body, overflowing with spiritual light and vigorous blood aura. During the second thunder tribulation, Ye Haige didn’t even allow the array to close fully.
Instead, he let the weakened portion of the thunder tribulation strike his body. After spitting fresh blood, he allowed the array to surge forth green light, which entered his body, healing his injuries.
Ultimately, after crossing four thunder tribulations, he formed an Upper Grade Golden Core.
Almost concurrently with Ye Haige’s passage, Ye Jingyu entered the array to begin his tribulation crossing.
Unlike Ye Haige’s full reliance on his body, Ye Jingyu only used magic to resist the first thunder tribulation, taking it with his body briefly. For the other tribulations, he let the array bear them entirely.
Only during the fourth did he allow the thunder light to spread over his body.
The tribulation was also passed smoothly, achieving an Upper Grade Golden Core!
The Ye Family gains two more Golden Cores!
