Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1397 - 993: Never Ascend, Three Great Ancestor Precepts
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Leaving the assembly hall, Ye Jingcheng went straight to Beast Valley.
Earlier, after Ye Jingcheng had entered seclusion, Turtle Ancestor left the grotto heaven and returned to its abode at Celestial Shadow Peak.
As requested by Turtle Ancestor, the Ye Family had also opened a dwelling for it, named Turtle Valley; within it, there are two lakes.
One is for Turtle Ancestor’s rest, and the other is for the other turtles.
The inhabitants are mainly Water Spike Turtles and some rare, young spirit turtles.
After Turtle Ancestor broke through to the fourth tier, naturally, it is no longer considered young; it is time to develop the group, and the Ye Family still hopes that the Tai Cang Turtle will become increasingly numerous.
However, because Turtle Ancestor knows quite a lot and holds a high status in the Ye Family, it is not suitable to directly administer medicine, only frequently giving Turtle Ancestor spirit pills that can increase both vitality and spiritual energy.
We seek a harmony with fate.
When Ye Jingcheng arrived, Turtle Ancestor was educating some young turtles.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but be stunned.
It’s his first time witnessing demon beasts educating demon beasts; usually, it’s the Ye Family training these young turtles.
Moreover, these young turtles are not exactly descendants of Turtle Ancestor nor part of its group.
What it taught, however, made Ye Jingcheng’s mind go blank.
It was teaching young turtles that once they have resources in the Ye Family, they should frequently come to pay tribute.
Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, Turtle Ancestor awkwardly demonstrated some earth attribute magic.
These young turtles, having often consumed the Ye Family’s Wisdom Pill, were not lacking in spiritual wisdom and imitated the magic properly.
"Jingcheng, you’ve finally broken through, congratulations!" Turtle Ancestor exclaimed.
As it spoke, it also took out a storage bag.
It handed it to Ye Jingcheng.
"I’ve completed some tasks again, these are the earnings from recent years."
"Turtle Ancestor, I haven’t refined any spirit pills yet; once I do, I’ll bring you some," Ye Jingcheng said as he put away the storage bag, nodding.
However, he was a bit taken aback upon seeing it, as the storage bag contained not only spirit stones but also numerous spirit medicines, quite a large quantity, considering Turtle Ancestor had reached mid-stage fourth tier over the past thirty years.
It indicates that most of Turtle Ancestor’s time was spent in seclusion.
"Turtle Ancestor, I’d like to enter Leaf God Valley!" Ye Jingcheng stated after overcoming his surprise.
Upon hearing this, Turtle Ancestor quickly opened the grotto heaven.
Compared to the previous entry, Turtle Ancestor’s grotto heaven had expanded considerably, though not as much as the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven.
The number of mortals inside had increased, and they began to cultivate large areas of spirit fields, established several spirit medicine gardens, and even raised numerous spirit pigs and spirit sheep.
It was clearly a miniature resource grotto heaven.
Ye Jingcheng observed for a while before heading directly to Leaf God Valley.
Over the years, the spirit vein in Leaf God Valley had grown to tier four top-grade.
Inside, there were four Gold Condensing Fruit Trees and over ten Purple Jade Vines; besides these, key spirit medicines were also present, a precaution in case any emergency arises within the Ye Family. As long as Turtle Ancestor is present, the Ye Family still has a chance to return to peak.
"Jingcheng, congratulations!" Ye Jingcheng was surprised to find that guarding Leaf God Valley was none other than Ye Xingshui of the Xing Generation.
At the moment, Ye Xingshui was at Foundation Establishment Peak; after all, this was Turtle Ancestor’s grotto heaven, with no danger present, thus no need for Purple Mansion occupants here.
The abundant spiritual energy here also aids Ye Xingshui’s cultivation and array studies.
"Uncle Xingshui, I’ve come to see the Divine Stone of Shen Valley!" Ye Jingcheng said.
As he spoke, he pointed inside Leaf God Valley.
Ye Xingshui promptly opened the array but did not follow Ye Jingcheng inside.
While curious, he was not among the younger generation in their twenties and knew his limits.
This pertains to the most core secrets of the family.
Seeing Ye Xingshui not entering, Ye Jingcheng remained silent and directly approached the Divine Stone.
The three grand characters "Leaf God Valley" were still engraved on the Divine Stone.
The stone body appeared exceptionally archaic, its material undeclared; if left in the wild, no one would stop to notice.
Had Ye Xuecang not explained it to him, or if he hadn’t tested it, he himself wouldn’t believe the stone contained hidden mysteries.
Ye Jingcheng hesitated not, channeling true essence with his hand, pressing upon the stone. As true essence flowed to the stone, it began to emit gentle spiritual light, revealing patterns of blood atop.
This blood pattern made the blood within Ye Jingcheng start to vibrate.
This shocked Ye Jingcheng immensely, but recalling how the Holy Spirit Tower Spiritual Treasure in the Earth Immortal Realm similarly attracted him,
he hesitated briefly, then released a drop of spirit blood.
As the Spirit Blood fell onto the stone, it instantly emitted a dazzling light, and Ye Jingcheng felt his vision blur. In the next moment, he sensed that he had entered a new Secret Realm.
In front of the Secret Realm, celestial sounds lingered, mist swirled, and one by one, Xia Yun Crane Spirit Birds encircled majestic buildings standing between the mountains. A heavenly ladder seemed to connect heaven and earth, with various ancient trees towering imposingly, resembling a paradise on earth.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng saw cultivators wearing Daoist Robes, and their cultivation made Ye Jingcheng tremble.
Ye Jingcheng instinctively activated a Secret Technique to conceal his presence, only to suddenly realize he couldn’t mobilize his True Essence. It was then he discovered he was merely an awareness.
Those cultivator figures weren’t truly present.
His gaze finally settled on a plaque in front of the mountain gate.
Merak Ye Family!
The four large characters shook Ye Jingcheng to his core. The Upper Immortal Realm of the Earth Immortal Realm is divided into several regions, and Merak is one of them.
And just as Ye Jingcheng wanted to continue observing, all the images suddenly vanished.
In Ye Jingcheng’s mind, a plethora of information began to emerge, transmitting into his mind like a revelation.
"All Ye Family Members must remember forever:"
"First, Ye Family Members must never ascend, only cross covertly!"
"Second, Ye Family’s Beast Communication Tower must never enter the Spirit Realm unless the family has a Mahayana Cultivator!"
"Third, never connect with the Jade Soul Race; never appear with dual-size Communication Beast Clan Members!"
Bang!
The first few sentences entering his mind felt like a thunder strike, leaving Ye Jingcheng frozen in place, profoundly shocked!
Ascension, covert crossing, Mahayana, Jade Soul Race—so foreign yet deeply startling to him.
After all, it’s well-known that when cultivators reach the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, they ascend into the Spirit Realm.
Simultaneously, the Beast Communication Tower, as an exotic treasure of the Ye Family, naturally should be brought into the Spirit Realm upon future ascensions.
But these sentences completely overturned his understanding.
While Ye Jingcheng was astounded, more information poured into his mind.
Once digested, Ye Jingcheng felt even more horrified.
He finally learned the origins of the Ye Family: it was a powerful clan within the Merak Spiritual Domain on the Mortal Dust Continent of the Spirit Realm, possessing three Combined Cultivators at its peak.
However, due to the leakage of the Beast Communication, the Jade Soul Race from the alien races attacked en masse, coupled with internal strife among the Human Race and forces coveting Ye Family’s Profound Celestial Blood Treasure, leading to the clan’s collapse in a single day.
Almost ninety percent of the Ye Family cultivators fell in this great catastrophe, leaving only a few Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul members who were forced to leave the Spirit Realm with the Beast Communication Tower, seeking refuge in the Lower Realm. Yet, due to the Earth Immortal Realm’s rejection of Divinity Transformation cultivators, only the Ye Family’s Nascent Souls successfully entered the Earth Immortal Realm.
As for the Beast Communication Tower, Ye Jingcheng finally understood its level as a Magical Treasure. Above Spirit Treasures are Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, and above Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, there’s the Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure.
The Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure includes a special category known as Profound Celestial Blood Treasure.
The Beast Communication Tower is a Profound Celestial Blood Treasure, which can only be used by members of the family who have performed refinement. Even if other cultivators obtain it, they can’t use it.
Unless they use a large amount of Essence Blood from Ye Family bloodline members to re-consecrate it, the bloodline must be re-established.
To activate the Profound Celestial Blood Treasure, at the very least, a Combined Cultivator is needed.
But to unleash the full power of the Blood Treasure, a Mahayana Stage cultivator is necessary, which is why the ancestral instruction requires the Ye Family to have Mahayana Cultivators to bring the Blood Treasure into the Spirit Realm.
Following the three main ancestral instructions, the inheritance also included information about covert crossing nodes within the Cultivation Realm, five inheritance Cultivation Techniques, and the location of the Celestial Wood Blessed Land in the Merak Spiritual Domain of the Ye Family, as well as some Spirit Pill Formulas!
Included was the Descent Dust Pill Formula to prevent complementing Thunder Tribulation upon covert crossing.
The five great techniques covered five single attribute Cultivation Techniques: Evergreen Ancient Wood Spirit Scripture, Great Geng Gold Essence Spirit Scripture, Taiyuan Purple Water Spirit Scripture, Celestial Burning Red Flame Spirit Scripture, and Primordial Dust Earth Spirit Scripture.
All five techniques can be cultivated to the Late Stage of Void Refining, regarded as incredible techniques in the Spirit Realm.
Of course, the Merak Ye Family does have other techniques, but those are all located within the Celestial Wood Blessed Land.
These five techniques are formidable yet discreet, preventing discovery of the Ye Family’s location in the Lower Realm by Spirit Realm cultivators.
Though descending from the Spirit Realm to the Lower Realm is quite troublesome, it’s not entirely impossible, only requiring substantial resources, which sometimes outweighs the gain.
Ye Jingcheng reviewed this information, contemplating deeply before calming down.
Earlier, he perceived the enemy of the Ye Family as the Penglai Sect, but now he realizes the real enemies are far scarier.
They are the Jade Soul Race among three thousand alien races and the Human Race’s great sects.
The only advantage for the Ye Family is that they are currently hidden, and the Spirit Realm is quite vast, with humans controlling six continents, each divided into countless Spirit Domains.
Naturally, within the inheritance, there are several Secret Techniques.
Among the Secret Techniques that captivated Ye Jingcheng’s heart, are a few which include the Soul Attack Technique Thousand Moon Soul Needle, the Body Burst Technique Taiyuan Golden Body, the Swift Escape Technique Profound Wind Spirit Step...
