Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1561 - 1132: Flood Dragon News, Blood Demon Forest

In Jiayuan Prefecture, at Miezheng Pass.

A figure flew into the sky above the pass city. Countless Cultivators immediately retreated to the side.

Only the Cultivators of the Xiao family stepped forward.

However, upon seeing Ancestor Xiao Yuankong’s solemn expression—devoid of any joy—they bowed their bodies and waited for his orders, not daring to speak.

They guessed that this operation had likely failed.

"Where is True Monarch Jie Ye?" Xiao Yuankong asked, his voice deep and resonant.

"He is in the Council Palace. Several Nascent Soul seniors are there as well," a Xiao family Cultivator immediately replied.

Xiao Yuankong did not utter a second word. He walked straight toward the distant palace. Upon entering, he saw a massive screen at the very center, adorned with painted streams of pitch-black mystic clouds.

In front of the mystic clouds, True Monarch Jie Ye lounged on a black jade throne, resting his cheek against one hand as he watched the entrance. Several other Nascent Soul Cultivators were waiting there, their expressions cautious. Among them, only True Monarch He Yu had been granted a seat.

"Did you succeed, Daoist Xiao?" True Monarch He Yu asked. His Desire Union Sect had also contributed a few Purple Mansion Cultivators to the effort.

"It failed. True Monarch Qianchen intervened," Xiao Yuankong said with utmost gravity. "That man’s strength has improved again. The Ancient Crow Wings of the Celestial Demon Sect did indeed fall into his hands, and he has already refined them into a Tier Five High-Grade Magical Treasure. His power is now comparable to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Furthermore, his Flood Dragon and Fire Fox are apex beasts in terms of innate talent. I even suspect the dragon possesses a trace of the True Spirit Bloodline!"

Xiao Yuankong practiced the Dual Cultivation of Body and Spirit. Within the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he could count his true opponents on one hand. Even when fighting Elder Liu Yuan of Southern Wilderness Province, he could overwhelm her so completely she couldn’t even catch her breath.

In fact, if the other Nascent Soul Cultivators hadn’t found an opening to interfere back then, he might have very well killed her.

But when facing that white Cold Flood Dragon, he felt as though its Scale Armor was as impenetrable as the walls of a fortified pass city—impossible to break through. More importantly, the more injured the beast became, the more ferocious it grew.

He had only ever seen Flood Dragons like that in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, back when he had visited the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Since it belongs to the core lineage of the Flood Dragon Race, then go find those two Old Flood Dragons in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea. I believe they will be very interested!" True Monarch Jie Ye’s eyes flashed with Spiritual Light.

According to the information provided by Penglai, True Monarch Qianchen had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm a mere two hundred years ago.

If he were to join the Righteous Sect and be taken in as a disciple by Divine Monarch Zheng Yuan, the consequences were something True Monarch Jie Ye dared not even imagine.

The most crucial point was that a Pure-blooded Flood Dragon could break through to Tier Six. If that day truly came, the Righteous Sect might end up with three Divinity Transformation cultivators.

It should be known that the Major Immortal Sects of the Central Domain were not considered overwhelmingly dominant precisely because even the Six Great Immortal Sects of the Righteous Dao rarely boasted more than one Divinity Transformation expert each.

If the Righteous Sect suddenly rose to power and led the other Major Immortal Sects, the Profound Celestial Sect might be forced to surrender all three of their continents in the Central Domain.

To the Profound Celestial Sect, this was absolutely unacceptable. It would be a disaster even more severe than the recent incident with the World Gate.

"Are we still going to set a trap to kill True Monarch Qianchen?" Xiao Yuankong asked again.

Although they would be glad to see the Flood Dragon Race demand the return of a pure-blooded kin, Xiao Yuankong coveted the dragon just as deeply.

A physical body of that caliber—even if he couldn’t obtain it completely intact, just securing some of its Essence Blood would hold immense value.

If he was lucky enough to obtain the corpse, he could absolutely refine it into a Demon Corpse at the Late Stage of the Fifth Tier, or perhaps even the Tier Five Peak.

"There is no chance anymore. According to our intelligence, besides the Righteous Sect, the Cultivators of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect have also arrived at Xiaoshan Prefecture. They all want us to open the World Gate so they can carve up the profits within," True Monarch Jie Ye said, shaking his head.

Killing a few people and occupying some territory was still manageable, but if they launched a massive invasion, they had already lost the initiative.

Their first attempt had been their best opportunity; now, a large-scale success was highly unlikely.

In an area covered in Teleportation Arrays, unless a Divine Monarch intervened and utterly crushed the opposition, there was simply no way to succeed under any other circumstances.

Right now, the various Major Immortal Sects were still attacking each other, but this was merely to provide some blood sustenance and pillage Spirit Stones while waiting for the World Gate to open so they could enter it.

"Unless he delivers himself to our doorstep," True Monarch Jie Ye added.

Hearing this, the others naturally shook their heads.

Over the past five years, many other Nascent Soul Cultivators had entered Jiayuan Prefecture, but True Monarch Qianchen had not done so even once.

Clearly, it wasn’t just because the man was cautious. There were also the warnings from Daoist Xingyuan, and even a lingering wariness toward True Monarch Penglai. Trying to bait him across the Realm barrier would be far too difficult.

Given the current situation, it would be extremely difficult for them to even kill Ye Jinghu and Ye Yunxi.

Let alone True Monarch Qianchen.

"What if we use the World Gate as leverage?" True Monarch He Yu spoke up at this moment.

"Too difficult. If it were Daoist Zi Yuan of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, it might be possible. Daoist Zheng Yuan doesn’t have a ruthless enough heart, which is exactly why he will never achieve great things," True Monarch Jie Ye said with a huff of dissatisfaction.

In truth, he wished that the sect guarding the south of the Central Domain was not the Righteous Sect, but the Purple Sun Immortal Sect. If that were the case, they likely would have conquered far more than just three provinces by now.

"Go down and make your respective preparations. It’s rare for Nascent Soul Cultivators to be able to plunder freely, so seize more Treasures and Blood Corpses for your factions. They might come in handy during the Realm War. The opposite side of the Realm this time is the Celestial Insect Realm. There might not be any Cultivators—only the existence of the Demon Race."

"This..." The other Nascent Soul Cultivators were instantly struck with shock.

But after careful consideration, their feelings became a mix of joy and worry.

Without the Human Race there, conquering the realm could be far more perilous, but by the same token, they stood to gain massive amounts of resources.

However, the Nascent Soul Cultivators who actually knew the dangers of the Celestial Insect Realm couldn’t help but feel a lingering dread.
