Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 986 - 687: Spirit Province Plan, Distant Spirit Forbidden Land (Two-in-One Bonus - )

A muffled rumble emanated from the boundless thunderclouds.

Yet, the overcast sky began to brighten, revealing a cyan hue.

It was the Cyan Yang Flame incinerating the thunderclouds. As the dark masses started to disperse, the Cyan Yang Flame surged several zhangs skyward with impressive speed.

It appeared capable of consuming all the thunderclouds.

At this critical juncture, the Red Flame Fox let out a piercing howl.

Although thunderclouds signified destruction, they also harbored immense vitality.

If the flame absorbed it all, even the Red Flame Fox might struggle to control the consequence.

Indeed, as the Red Flame Fox attempted to draw the Cyan Yang Flame back, the flame exhibited a degree of resistance.

It continued to devour the thunderclouds, showing an unwillingness to be reabsorbed.

The agitated thunderclouds began to consolidate celestial thunder, aiming to extinguish the Cyan Yang Flame, but each attempt proved futile.

Then, a bizarre celestial phenomenon unfolded. The continuously gathering celestial thunder transformed into cyan light, pouring into the Cyan Yang Flame and igniting a more formidable inferno.

"Shriek!" The Red Flame Fox issued another sharp, prolonged cry. Spiritual aura materialized on its forehead, forming the shadow of a furnace. Despite the Cyan Yang Flame's reluctance, it was all drawn into the spectral furnace.

Subsequently, it vanished into the Red Flame Fox’s brow.

Concurrently, the involved thunderclouds formed the final thunder tribulation, striking towards the Red Flame Fox. However, the thunder spear seemed significantly weakened, less potent than the initial tribulation.

With a flick of its four fiery tails, the Red Flame Fox projected the Demon Fox Spirit Shadow once more, effortlessly swallowing the thunder tribulation.

Bang!

Nevertheless, the might of celestial thunder was not to be underestimated.

The Fire Fox was rapidly blasted apart, but the Red Flame Fox pressed forward against the thunder, absorbing all the residual thunderpower.

With the thunder tribulation concluded, the Tier Four Golden Core was successfully formed!

At this moment, the Red Flame Fox's aura surged with incredible momentum, though it soon settled down for refinement.

The vitality absorbed by the Cyan Yang Flame during this ordeal transformed into spiritual power, likely reducing the need for both the Red Flame Fox and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to undergo extensive consolidation.

Ye Jingcheng exhaled in relief, experiencing a sense of strangeness and unreality.

His two spirit beasts, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Red Flame Fox, appeared to have consumed the thunder tribulation—a concept of transcending tribulation he had never encountered before.

However, he mused that it might be related to body cultivation; if one's physical body possessed sufficient strength, it could potentially force its way into the thunderclouds for a baptism.

Such a Golden Core would undoubtedly be of the highest quality.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" At this point, the Two-headed Turtle, Thunder Roc, Mammoth, and the other Demon Kings began to extend their felicitations.

These congratulations were directed towards both Ye Jingcheng and the Red Flame Fox.

Of course, a closer observation would reveal a palpable sense of apprehension in their eyes.

That cyan flame was terrifying, particularly for the Two-headed Turtle, who had a past encounter with its heat.

It felt as though half of its turtle existence had been incinerated!

Even when the Red Flame Fox casually glanced its way, the turtle's Wood Head and Water Head involuntarily retracted.

Now, the Red Flame Fox, with that single beast's enhanced strength, could undoubtedly reduce the turtle to ashes.

Ye Jingcheng also stepped forward, channeling some treasure light into the Red Flame Fox and administering several spirit pills.

His aim was to accelerate the Red Flame Fox’s consolidation process.

Following this, he stored the beast within the grotto-heaven.

Compared to the desolate expanse of the Desert Sea, the grotto-heaven, endowed with spirit veins, was obviously a superior environment for consolidation.

As the Red Flame Fox was safely stowed away in the grotto-heaven, the temperature of the sand dune plummeted dramatically.

Even within his sensory perception, the entire sand dune seemed to have slightly subsided.

"There are indeed several hidden beast puppets; this Jia Family's spirit puppet technology is truly remarkable!" At this moment, Xue Fan approached from the side.

He then discarded several spirit puppet corpses.

These puppet remains were externally indistinguishable from sand worms, appearing completely lifelike. Only by severing their heads could one discern subtle clues.

While the Ye Family possessed the Five Elements Celestial Armor Puppet, its combat prowess was merely average. In terms of intricate design, it could not compare to the Jia Family's beast puppets.

Such advanced beast puppets also presented considerable research potential.

"Jingcheng, it would be prudent to store these spirit puppets in the grotto-heaven without delay; the Zhang and Jia families likely assume we won't forgo researching these puppets and intend to use these fragments to pinpoint our artifacts!" Xue Fan added at this juncture.

Though he was an Array Master, he found himself lacking in familiarity with spirit puppets. However, his years of experience instilled in him a profound sense of caution.

"Fourth Grandpa, I propose we place these spirit puppet fragments within the storage bag of a Demon Bird. We can then let the magnificent bird soar across the Desert Sea for a period," Ye Jingcheng suggested, shaking his head.

If the enemy sought to pinpoint their exact location, then so be it.

The Ye Family now possessed an impressive contingent of Great Demons, with the Fire-Devouring Bird from the Three-Eyed Demon Roc Race standing out as particularly formidable.

This particular Fire-Devouring Bird was renowned for its exceptionally precise fire techniques and rapid speed. Furthermore, its race was not affiliated with the Three-Eyed Demon Roc Race, meaning the latter would likely remain unconcerned.

Even if any incident were to occur, it would not arouse undue suspicion.

After all, the Fire-Devouring Sparrow Race was not an uncommon sight throughout various territories of the Cultivation Realm.

Consequently, Ye Jingcheng intended to keep the grotto heaven concealed.

While a grotto heaven might be a rarity for Golden Core Influences, it was not beyond the realm of possibility for Nascent Soul Powers to possess one, thus the Zhang and Jia families would possess at least some awareness.

Let them engage in their deductions, but such actions would not prove advantageous for the impending offensive.

Upon hearing this, Xue Fan nodded. He gazed at Ye Jingcheng's face, which, though still young, exuded a newfound maturity and steadfastness, filling him with immense comfort.

Ye Jingcheng was now just over a century old, which was not considered ancient in the eyes of cultivators at the Purple Mansion and Golden Core stages.

Yet, Ye Jingcheng's thoughtfulness was evidently deepening. What reason could the elder generation of clan patriarchs possibly have for not feeling immense pride and satisfaction?

Meanwhile, the remaining clan members diligently scoured the sand worms from the outer regions, with Ye Haisheng personally securing all the earthworms.
