Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1498: Star Sea, Golden Feather Mirror

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1076: Star Sea, Golden Feather Mirror

“SCREECH!”

Along with a massive crane screech, golden feathers scattered in all directions, and the Golden Light Crane unexpectedly vanished from its spot. This made Ye Jingcheng unavoidably a bit surprised and curious. After all, he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Normally speaking, a Late Stage of Fourth Tier Golden Light Crane would absolutely be unable to dodge his strikes.

But soon after, Ye Jingcheng executed a Secret Technique toward the distance once more.

Accompanied by a large number of cyan Spirit Light Vines that resembled dragon teeth tangling upward, the Golden Light Crane managed to fly out once again.

At this moment, looking closely with his Star Illusion Eyes, he finally discovered the clue.

This Golden Light Crane was actually carrying a Magical Treasure on its body. It was hidden within its golden feathers, allowing it to become like a moon reflected in water, creating a spatial ripple with the void to dodge Ye Jingcheng’s attacks.

Once the secret was known, things became much simpler.

Ye Jingcheng directly activated the Secret Technique he had inherited from his family, the Thousand Moon Soul Needle.

As a Soul Needle drifted out and vanished into the void, the flying Golden Light Crane in the distance suddenly paused, its entire body stiffening mid-air. Ye Jingcheng activated another Secret Technique, condensing the Dragon’s Tooth Wood to securely bind it. The Golden Light Crane still wanted to flee, but at that exact moment, another Thousand Moon Soul Needle appeared in Ye Jingcheng’s hand.

“You only get one chance. Submit, or die?” Ye Jingcheng stated directly.

Able to use a Magical Treasure, this Golden Light Crane’s Spiritual Wisdom naturally wasn’t low. Furthermore, this kind of Spiritual Crane’s innate talent was considered quite good among avians, which was why Ye Jingcheng thought to give it a try. Previously, the Ye Family had a Mei Yuhe, but it unfortunately lost its life in the previous Beast Tide.

“I am the Primordial Shark Demon Emperor… I submit.” The Golden Light Crane had originally wanted to say a few well-chosen words just like the Cyan Light Jade Cloud Bat did, but seeing that Ye Jingcheng was about to release the Spirit Needle, it hurriedly begged for mercy.

Ye Jingcheng did not delay, directly taking out Essence Blood to begin the Blood Contract. Toward this Golden Light Crane, Ye Jingcheng similarly held no trust. Once the Blood Contract was established, he asked straightforwardly, “What is the strength of the Primordial Shark Demon Emperor? Aside from the Primordial Shark Demon Emperor, how many Demon Kings are nearby? Is it close to the Flood Dragon Race? Is it close to the Chenjing Race?”

Because Demon Beasts bound by a Soul Contract basically could not betray their masters, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t afraid of it leaking any information.

“The Primordial Shark Demon Emperor is at the Early Stage of Fifth Tier. Further away, there is the Zhen Hai Demon Emperor, who is slightly stronger than the Primordial Shark Demon Emperor. As for anything further, I am not clear. Regarding the Flood Dragon Race, I have heard there is an Old Flood Dragon in Red Bay, but I, this lesser demon, have never seen it,” the Golden Light Crane hesitated for a moment before replying.

Through the Soul Contract, Ye Jingcheng knew the Golden Light Crane wasn’t lying. This meant that this place might be quite far from the East Sea, or it might not even be the East Sea at all. After all, the claim that this was the depths of the East Sea was just a one-sided statement from the Li Family. They had never been here either, so how could they know if it was the East Sea?

“Have you ever seen anyone of the Human Race like us?” Ye Jingcheng inquired again.

“Yes, they gather in the Star Sea. We only see them in large numbers during the once-in-a-century Beast Tide,” the Golden Light Crane answered.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng lost the desire to ask further. He knew this place was likely not the East Sea, and even if it was, it was an extremely remote part of it. As for the Star Sea forces and its Cultivation Realm, Ye Jingcheng had never heard of them either. It might be a closed-off Cultivation Realm similar to the Desert Sea, or it might be the South Sea, the North Sea, or the West Sea, but to Ye Jingcheng, none of that held much significance.

What the Ye Family lacked now was not a Cultivation Realm, but rather, Demon Beast Souls. Since few cultivators came here, it meant this place could serve as the Ye Family’s Demon Hunting ground. Moreover, the fact that the Demon Emperors here did not belong to massive races was another piece of good news for the Ye Family. Once they found an opportunity to form a Soul Contract with the Primordial Shark Demon Emperor, the Ye Family could truly do as they pleased in this Sea Domain.

Ye Jingcheng had the Golden Light Crane draw a simple Sea Diagram of the vicinity. At the same time, he also asked about the ruins on this island. However, the Golden Light Crane was not clear about it either; the island had already been in this state when it first arrived.

Unable to obtain any information, Ye Jingcheng didn’t continue asking. Instead, he extracted a Golden Feather Copper Mirror from the Golden Light Crane’s feathers. This copper mirror was feather-shaped; unless one examined it closely, it was completely undetectable.

Taking it in hand, Ye Jingcheng infused his True Essence. After a short while, he clearly understood the full power of the Golden Feather Copper Mirror. This Magical Treasure’s power mainly lay in Illusion Skills. It could create illusions and distortions, resulting in spatial displacement. An attack might seem to have hit, but in reality, it would deviate significantly. For cultivators who didn’t understand Illusion Skills or lacked Pupil Skills, even if their Cultivation surpassed that of the Golden Light Crane, they would still suffer a huge disadvantage. After all, they simply wouldn’t be able to hit the Golden Light Crane. However, for a cultivator with Pupil Skills, the effect was somewhat inferior. Even if they failed to notice it at first, once they used their Pupil Skill, they would realize it was merely an illusory spatial displacement.

Of course, defeating the Golden Light Crane would still require some effort to deduce the pattern of the Magical Treasure. Alternatively, one could use a sonic-based Divine Soul Secret Technique, just like with the Cyan Light Jade Cloud Bat, to apply Stabilizing the Spirit on the Golden Light Crane. Ye Jingcheng’s use of the Thousand Moon Soul Needle operated on this exact same principle.

Aside from Illusion Skills, the other ability of the Golden Feather Copper Mirror was to conjure even more golden feathers when attacking. It could be considered a pure Defense and pure Illusion Skill Magical Treasure. For Ye Jingcheng, he could give it to the Golden Falcon as a Magical Treasure. However, the Golden Falcon was currently at Tier Four Peak and would break through to Tier Five in less than a few decades. The usefulness of a Tier Four High-Grade Treasure would be similarly limited.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng returned this Golden Feather Mirror to the Golden Light Crane. In the future, when the Golden Light Crane was assigned to other members of the Ye Family, they could decide for themselves whether to keep or remove the mirror.

His Divine Sense swiftly swept across the entirety of Wuxin Island. Finally, at the center of the island, he discovered a Golden Camellia Tea Tree. This couldn’t help but bring joy to Ye Jingcheng. The Golden Camellia Spirit Tea was also a Tier Four Spirit Tea. This Spirit Tea was extremely useful for the Cultivation of those with a Gold Attribute Spirit Root. The Ye Family had quite a few Golden Spirit Root cultivators. With this Tea Tree, the progress of those cultivators breaking through would be much faster.

This was the Ye Family’s fourth Tier Four Tea Tree. The previous three were the Mingxin Tea Tea Tree, the Longevity Tea Tree, and the Primordial Star Fruit Tree. Of course, the Ye Family also had a Tier Five Tea Tree, but that Tier Five Tea Tree was still a sapling. The time for it to produce Tier Five Spirit Tea had not yet come.

Ye Jingcheng flew to the center of the island and directly collected the Tea Tree into his Grotto Heaven. Beside the Tea Tree was the Golden Light Crane’s cave dwelling. Inside its cave dwelling were three other Golden Light Cranes—one at the Late Stage of Third Tier, and two at the Early Stage of Third Rank.

The latter two were fledglings, while the former could barely be considered the Golden Light Crane’s Dao Companion. However, looking at its bloodline, it was vastly inferior to this Tier Four Golden Light Crane Demon King. When the Golden Light Crane Demon King looked over at it, its gaze was as calm as an ancient well, giving off a feeling that the Great Dao was devoid of emotion.

The two fledglings, on the other hand, were quite extraordinary.

Ye Jingcheng had Ye Xuefu choose one of the Golden Light Crane fledglings first. Following that, he began setting up an Array.

As for the remaining Demon Beasts in the East Wuyu Archipelago, Ye Jingcheng directly ordered Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang to release the army of Soul-Devouring Insects to slaughter them one by one.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng began to send a Transmission to the members of the Li Family, telling them to come to Wuxin Island. After all, the location of the Tier Four Secret Realm had not yet been revealed.
