Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1527 - 1104: Breakthrough

In the summer, the weather was always unpredictable.

Inside the Spirit Field, vast swaths of grain seedlings grew exceptionally sturdy. The gradually plumping ears of rice indicated that in a little more time, it would be another season of bountiful harvest.

A few Ye Family members were casting Spiritual Rain and using the Spirit Light Skill to imbue the seedlings with some Spiritual Light.

"It’s going to rain again. With it being this hot and dry, I reckon it’ll be a heavy downpour," Ye Tenghe said as he looked at the sky. Though the weather felt somewhat strange, he still voiced his thought.

As a clansman of the Teng Generation, he possessed Water, Wood, and Earth Three Spirit Roots. This aptitude was neither outstanding nor poor within the Ye Family. Coupled with his considerable accomplishments in cultivating Spirit Plants, he had joined the Spirit Plant Hall before he even turned thirty. And his current goal was the Spiritual Child of the Spirit Plant Hall, Ye Yunmei.

"Tenghe, that’s not right. The dark clouds are way too thick, and this level of sweltering heat is abnormal too," an older Cultivator beside him couldn’t help but say.

Before they could even report this, they realized that quite a few Cultivators had already appeared in the sky. Particularly from the direction of the Sword Hall, over a hundred streaks of Sword Light flew out. Crimson, bright, and spectacular, they ultimately settled high in the sky above the entire Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

At the same time, the Array outside the Celestial Phoenix Oasis churned as a Yellow Dragon Spirit Shadow and a Celestial Phoenix Spirit Shadow surged in rivalry.

Following the appearance of the Sword Hall members, countless figures also abruptly materialized high up in the sky. Looking closely, these figures were almost entirely the high-ranking elders and powerful ancestors of the Ye Family. Leading them was none other than Ye Haicheng.

"A senior family member is Crossing the Tribulation, but I don’t know which ancestor it is." Ye Tenghe was unclear about the situation.

However, the older clansman obviously understood perfectly. He stopped tending to the Spirit Seedlings, casually sat his bottom down on the field ridge, and explained slowly.

"Isn’t it obvious? Only those proving their Dao from the Purple Mansion to become a Golden Core True Master face a Thunder Tribulation. It must be Ancestor Qingfeng of the Qing Generation. She has a Celestial Spirit Root, not to mention a Spirit Body. Aside from Ancestor Jingcheng, she is the number one genius of our Ye Family.

"Look, that’s Grandma Chu. She rarely ever comes out on normal days.

"But isn’t the temperature a bit too sweltering this time? When Ancestor Jing Hu and Ancestor Yun Xi broke through last time, it wasn’t nearly this intense.

"That’s because Ancestor Qingfeng is powerful! Our Ye Family is going to produce another mighty powerhouse." The older clansman narrowed his eyes, brimming with anticipation.

He was one of the clansmen who had come from the Eastern Domain. Having barely managed Foundation Establishment, he was now over a hundred years old. He felt that as long as the family had enough Golden Core and Nascent Soul powerhouses, the day they could fight their way back to the Eastern Domain would not be far off.

It was hard to leave one’s homeland; this was true for Mortals, and equally true for Cultivators. One day, they would definitely fight their way back, rather than keeping the majority of their people in the Desert Sea while a small fraction held the line in the Eastern Domain. He didn’t know if he would live to see that day, but that didn’t stop him from looking forward to it.

High in the sky, Chu Yanqing and Ye Haicheng had also landed. Their faces were filled with immense excitement.

"This is..." In the distance, the Teleportation Array lit up. Shortly after, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan appeared on the Array.

"Uncle Xuecang, Uncle Xuefan, it’s Qingfeng preparing to break through," Ye Haicheng replied. "In addition, Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox is about to break through as well!"

For the Ye Family, the former represented the breakthrough of their number one genius, while the latter was closely tied to the family’s Alchemy Skills. It was crucial for refining Nascent Soul Pills, as well as for the advancement and breakthrough of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor. This was of utmost importance to the Ye Family, naturally warranting their highest level of attention.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Ye Xuecang praised consecutively.

"There truly is so much good news." Seeing Ye Haicheng and the others looking a bit confused, Ye Xuefan chuckled and explained from the side. "The whereabouts of that Old Cold Flood Dragon have been discovered in the East Wuyu Sea Domain. The family is preparing to slay it."

Compared to other Spirit Beasts, the Flood Dragon Race was far more untamable and rebellious. While infant Flood Dragons could be subjected to taming attempts, old dragons like this one were incredibly difficult to subjugate. Naturally, the Ye Family had set their minds on slaying it. Flood Dragon Blood, Flood Dragon Infant, Flood Dragon Gall, Flood Dragon Sinew, and Flood Dragon Scale—every single one of them was an incredible treasure.

To begin with, the combined forces of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, Ye Jingcheng, and his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon already had a high chance of defeating the Old Cold Flood Dragon. Now that the Red Flame Fox was about to break through as well, it was naturally a monumental boon for the Ye Family.

While they were discussing this, the distant Teleportation Array lit up once more. The Spiritual Light of the Teleportation Array dissipated, and a moment later, Ye Jingcheng’s figure was revealed. Compared to a few years ago, Ye Jingcheng’s aura was now much more restrained. He flew over to join the group of clansmen.

"Granduncle Xuecang, Granduncle Xuefan..." Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands toward his seniors. He then exchanged a smiling glance with Chu Yanqing before looking toward the Celestial Shadow Peak. Up there, Ye Qingfeng and the Red Flame Fox were undergoing their breakthroughs. The Spiritual Light was already shining like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire mountain peak brilliantly.

This was exactly why Ye Jingcheng had rushed back from the Central Domain. Five years had passed since the Nascent Soul grand gathering in the Central Domain, and conflicts between the Southern Wilderness Province and the Nanman Province had been growing increasingly frequent.

Several Nascent Soul Powers of the Profound Celestial Demon Sect had already converged in the Jiayuan Prefecture and the Demon Pass Mansion. On the side of the Righteous Sect, True Monarch Liu Yuan, Liuyun True Monarch, and Jiang Daorong had also arrived to station themselves in the Xiaoshan Prefecture. Just half a month ago, Xuan Kui True Monarch had sent them a Transmission, stating that the expedition to explore the Mini World in the Profound Heaven and Earth Realm would be moved up by another half a year.

Because Ye Jingcheng wanted the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to break through, and since the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit’s degree of control over True Essence had greatly increased, he agreed to the new schedule. Now, the impending breakthrough of the Red Flame Fox was equally excellent news for him. With this, he wouldn’t fear ordinary Cultivators at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul in the slightest, and naturally, he didn’t have to worry about any traps awaiting him inside. Unless a Divinity Transformation Cultivator appeared, Ye Jingcheng was confident that even two Late Stage of Nascent Soul Cultivators might not be able to stop him if he truly wanted to leave.

RUMBLE!

Over by Ye Qingfeng’s location, fiery light suddenly began to surge. It looked like a volcano on the verge of erupting. A crisp, resonant cry echoed out, sounding as if a Red Phoenix was about to fly out from the bathing flames. This phenomenal sight naturally filled everyone with anticipation.

"She should be able to form a Top-Grade Golden Core, right?" Chu Yanqing couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious beside him. Since she only possessed an Upper Grade Golden Core herself, she naturally hoped that Ye Qingfeng would condense a Top-Grade Golden Core. That way, her future potential would be much higher.

"Don’t worry, Yanqing. Qingfeng has spent a considerable amount of time tempering herself. Her Artifact Refining Skill has already reached the point where she can refine Tier Four Spiritual Treasures," Ye Jingcheng said comfortingly.

Ye Qingfeng’s breakthrough was by no means rushed. She had tempered her True Essence by staying in the Butterfly Valley’s Illusion Array three times and practicing artifact refining for three years before attempting to advance. If even Ye Qingfeng couldn’t condense a Top-Grade Golden Core, then no one else in the Ye Family would be able to do it.

Chu Yanqing nodded in agreement.

As the dense Fire Attribute True Essence gathered in increasing amounts, the air grew even more sweltering. Meanwhile, the dark clouds rolled and thickened, eventually transforming into a massive Thunder Tribulation cloud. An unknown amount of time passed. The crowd only felt a suppressive aura that, after contracting, suddenly burst outward, dissipating into spreading crimson ripples.

A Golden Core appeared above the distant mountain peak. Unlike Ye Xuecang and Chu Yanqing’s Upper Grade Golden Cores, which were only the size of a pigeon egg, Ye Qingfeng’s Golden Core was the size of a chicken egg, and a layer of a crimson Phoenix Shadow could be seen within it. Such a phenomenon and a Golden Core of this size had only been achieved by Ye Jingcheng in the Ye Family’s history. The only difference was that Ye Jingcheng’s core was a Five-Colored Golden Core and possessed a full two Spirit Shadows.

The next moment, the Golden Core vanished, and a vigorous, surging Golden Core aura permeated the air. Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing both felt a surge of joy in their hearts. Seeing this, how could they not know? Ye Qingfeng’s Top-Grade Golden Core was secured!

"Father, Mother," a voice transmitted.

"Say no more. Stay inside the Array and focus on Crossing the Tribulation!"
