Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Early morning, the sunlight gently rises from the end of the desert.

The entire desert is bathed in an incomparable golden hue.

A gentle breeze stirs, lifting sand and dust into the air like a sprinkling of golden mist.

When following the light, it seems as if the Milky Way is descending.

Even the Celestial Phoenix Oasis is now bathed in golden light.

At this moment, several Three-Eyed Demon Rocs soar into the sky from the center of the Beast Valley, spreading their wings and dancing with the rising sun.

Yet today, they are somewhat reserved, looking toward the center of Celestial Shadow Peak with both fear and restlessness, letting out two long cries before retreating back into Roc Valley.

The young cultivators in the valley are a bit puzzled, as the behavior of the Three-Eyed Demon Rocs is unusual; they usually frolic for an hour or two, but today they returned in less than a moment.

However, the older cultivators nearby understand.

“The Dragon Ancestor is about to break through!”

“This is good news, our Ye Family is soon to be a Nascent Soul clan.”

With the older cultivator speaking, the younger ones are immediately overjoyed.

He naturally understands what being a Nascent Soul clan entails.

“Yunhe, you must put in your best effort. It is said that this time, the clan competition will reward a Four Valleys Spirit Beast to the top five in Qi Cultivation!” the nearby cultivator continues.

“Uncle Qing Xian, you really mean it? The inheritance of Four Valleys Spirit Beast, the clan is really going all out this time!” Ye Yunhe exclaims, full of surprise.

Currently, Ye Family’s Four Valleys Spirit Beasts refer to Dragon Valley, Thunder Valley, Demon Roc Valley, and Elephant Valley.

These are followed by Spirit Grain Valley for water attribute spirit beasts and Beast Valley for various resource-type spirit beasts.

If one can acquire a Spirit Beast from these Four Valleys, their status in the Ye Family would rise significantly.

He is currently at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer but possesses a Tier One Peak Blood Moon Python and a Late Stage Tier One Blood Crocodile, making him a strong contender for the top five.

“It’s indeed true. Besides the rewards for the competition, it is said that the top three with the best spirit roots will also be awarded a Four Valleys Spirit Beast!”

The two exchanged thoughts, and of course, after expressing their sentiments, they proceeded to feed a group of Three-Eyed Demon Rocs with Spirit Beast Meat and Spirit Pills!

…

Apart from the changes in the Four Great Beast Valleys, there is a colossal Martial Arts Arena in front of the assembly hall of Celestial Shadow Peak.

It is a place where many Ye Family cultivators capture Purple Qi and where Ye Family Elders teach magic to the Immortal Seedlings.

Because the previous batch of Immortal Seedlings ascended the mountain about three years ago, few are actively practicing magic.

Instead, there are many engaged in cultivation, sitting quietly in front of the hall, attempting to capture the burgeoning Purple Qi.

Even with the abundant Purple Qi, they cannot calm down, and even when it approaches, it gets pulled towards the mountain peak.

Ultimately, all of them gaze towards the summit.

They know that the Earth Dragon Demon King is breaking through to Tier Five Nascent Soul at the peak.

If one looks closely now, they can see the spiritual energy of the Tier Five Spirit Vein of Celestial Shadow Peak flowing ceaselessly towards the summit.

The scene of spiritual energy rushing is like rivers of spiritual energy converging from all directions into the Spirit Sea of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

At the mountain’s edge, other than the snow-white color, it’s also covered in radiant yellow Spiritual Radiance, making it appear dazzling.

Since the breakthrough of the Tier Five Spirit Vein at Celestial Phoenix Oasis, both Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak have elevated significantly; there was no snow on the peak before, but now it’s covered with a layer of snow.

Even though this is a warm desert, because the mountains are exceptionally tall, snow still appears.

The current Celestial Shadow Peak, even compared to Lingyun Peak, is probably only a third as high, revealing the enormity of Celestial Shadow Peak.

“Uncle Xinghai, I won’t be cultivating today. The noise of the Dragon Ancestor’s breakthrough is so great; our Ye Family’s golden age is coming. When the teleportation array is set up, everyone can gather at Celestial Phoenix Oasis!”

“That’s not something for you to think about. Focus on your cultivation and aim for a good ranking in the competition. The current Foundation Establishment cultivators’ competition is even more intense!” the latter remarks bluntly.

Indeed, too many Foundation Establishments have occurred in the Ye Family now!

Every year, there’s been a notable vortex marking breakthroughs in Foundation Establishment.

…

Naturally, at this moment, not only the assembly hall, but places like the Alchemy Room, Artifact Refining Room, Array Room, and Talisman Refining Room have been affected.

Everyone stopped and began discussing, albeit with great excitement.

After all, the Ye Family has waited far too long for this day!

On Celestial Phoenix Oasis, arrays are fully activated.

The Thick Earth Yellow Dragon and Celestial Phoenix Spirit Shadow dance in unison.

While majestic, they also conceal substantial spiritual energy fluctuations.

Despite this, one can clearly see the spiritual energy storm emerging atop Celestial Shadow Peak, accompanied by deep roars akin to the extended cries of a True Dragon.

Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng have both emerged from seclusion, with the former at Purple Mansion Peak and not choosing seclusion, while the latter, Ye Haicheng, at Late Stage Purple Mansion, is preparing to reach Purple Mansion Peak before attempting a breakthrough to Golden Core.

The two stand in the sky, gazing at Celestial Shadow Peak, both excited and envious, but also reflective.

Beside them are Ye Haiyu and Ye Haiyan, along with Ye Xueliang, who have all significantly altered their aura, having successfully reached Early Stage Purple Mansion.

None have failed.

For Ye Family elders, their experiences are vast, and their Dao Hearts firm.

Their slow cultivation before was due to insufficient resources and a lack of suitable Communication Beasts, as well as a shortage of good elixirs and spirit veins.

But this time, not only are there Tier Five Spirit Veins, there are Tier Three Great Demon Communication Beasts, and even secret techniques, such as the Five Elements Celestial Mansion Technique, a method that can increase the chance of breaking through Purple Mansion.

Plus, with the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, a holy medicine for breaking through Purple Mansion, so many Ye Family elders succeeded in their breakthrough at this moment!

Among them, Ye Haiyan is cultivating the Fire and Wood Dual Celestial Mansion, while Ye Haiyu has the Water and Earth Dual Celestial Mansion.

As for Ye Xueliang, he cultivates the Water and Gold Dual Celestial Mansion.

The biggest change in the Ye Family over the past nine years has undoubtedly been the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators; in the entire Celestial Phoenix Oasis, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has increased by at least forty to fifty people.

The Ye Family obtained quite a few Tier Three Great Demon Cores during the Beast Tide, so they are not lacking in Foundation Establishment Pills. Moreover, the Ye Family acquired a considerable amount of Earthly Fiend Qi and Foundation Establishment Pills from the Zhang and Jia families.

“Fourth Uncle, once the Earth Dragon Demon King breaks through, our Ye Family will become a Nascent Soul Clan. That is when we can truly establish ourselves!” Ye Haicheng remarked with a slight sense of emotion.

But he soon noticed a hint of worry in Ye Xuefan’s eyes.

This worry was subtle, but he noticed it, so he spoke up as well:

“Fourth Uncle, Jingcheng is already on the way, there shouldn’t be any problems!”

“Hmm, let’s hope so. From today onwards, neither of us can afford to let down our guard in the slightest.”

“Also, instruct the clan members of the four large oases to pay close attention to the surrounding situation. If there’s any movement by the demon beasts, it must be reported immediately!” Ye Xuefan commanded again.

The Ye Family’s Celestial Phoenix Oasis is situated almost at the center of the Desert Sea, so even if the Earth Dragon Demon King breaks through, the affected area might only be the Desert Sea, but the Ye Family must be vigilant against any demon beasts causing trouble.

Especially those of the Demon King level and above.

This requires even closer attention, particularly in the Yuanling Oasis.

“Yes, rest assured Fourth Uncle, I have already issued the orders,” Ye Haicheng nodded.

“Haiyu, Haiyan, both of you are now Tier Three Array Masters; continue to set up more arrays in the Celestial Phoenix Oasis just in case!” Ye Xuefan instructed again.

At this moment, everyone could relax and anticipate, but he could not.

After ensuring everything was properly arranged with no omissions, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

“Has the Immortal Ascension Conference opened this time?”

“Fourth Uncle, this time it has opened, and it marks the initial fruits of the Ye Family’s birth policy!” Ye Haicheng also spoke up.

He too was slightly expectant at this moment.

Generally, Spirit Root testing is done between the ages of eight to twelve among mortals. The Ye Family holds it every three years, and now is the ninth year.

In the last three years, the number of immortal seedlings in the Ye Family was over a hundred, less than two hundred.

But this time, Ye Haicheng was confident that the number would exceed three hundred, or even four hundred.

The Ye Family currently lacks not resources but clan members, especially those with talent.

With three to four hundred immortal seedlings, naturally, there would be a few with exceptional talent among them.

“Jingcheng’s child can be tested this time too, right?” Ye Xuefan asked with some delight.

“Yes, but Yanqing is still in the Shuize Mini World, and should return when Jingcheng comes back!” Ye Haicheng answered honestly.

…

At Qingsha Oasis, in a Sand Valley, Ye Jingchong had arranged for several cultivators to capture Sand Ginseng Scorpions.

Currently, the Sand Valley was densely packed with Sand Ginseng Scorpions, in great numbers.

“Be serious in capturing them and get plenty of good ones. The Dragon Ancestor is breaking through this time, and the clan is sure to hold a celebration. If our Sand Ginseng Scorpions are laughed at for being skinny compared to those raising Forest Pigs and Mountain-devouring Rats, you’ll all be out of the Scorpion Valley of Qingsha Oasis!” Ye Jingchong commanded.

As the family’s responsible person for Spirit Insects, naturally he didn’t want to lag behind others.

After giving instructions, he personally caught several Tier Two Sand Ginseng Scorpions that had consumed the Advancement Pill.

This Advancement Pill was a formula left by Ye Jingcheng previously, and it has been effective in the Scorpion Valley, so naturally, he needed to present some successful Sand Ginseng Scorpions!

Of course, besides Sand Ginseng Scorpions, Ye Jingchong also prepared a lot of thorn fruits.

This time, although it was just a simple family gathering coinciding with the Earth Dragon Demon King’s breakthrough, it was also considered a showdown since the Ye Family established all major halls and sub-peaks.

He naturally did not want to fall behind.

He was still waiting for Ye Jingcheng to pass the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect to him!

…

In the Shuize Mini World, within a palace on Shuize Mountain, Ye Yunxi opened her beautiful eyes and exhaled a long breath.

“Finally cultivated successfully. This time, the clan competition will surely surprise Uncle Grandma and Uncle Grandpa!” Despite being only twenty-two years old, Ye Yunxi was already at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, and even more, she had stabilized it. She had also learned a few secret techniques for the competition.

It should be known that even Ye Jingcheng, back in the day, had only broken through to Foundation Establishment in his thirties.

At twenty-two, Ye Jingcheng was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth or Fifth Layer.

Of course, this was related to Ye Yunxi having a Water Spirit Root, and her two Five-Inch Beast Patterns were also influential.

The spirit beasts she has contracted now are the Silver Moon Python and the Water Spike Turtle.

Plus, with the Tier Four Pure Water Attribute Spiritual Vein, these results were a comprehensive outcome.

“You two little… Uncle, Auntie, eavesdropping at the door again!” Ye Yunxi pushed open her door and discovered a boy and girl stuck to it, seemingly listening to something.

“Yunxi, we just came to check on you!” Ye Qingnian clearly couldn’t lie, his face reddening.

In contrast, Ye Qingfeng straightforwardly said:

“Little niece Yunxi, we’re here to seek guidance on cultivation techniques. Everyone at Shuize Mountain is cultivating, and we can’t play at all.”

“Once Uncle Grandma comes out of seclusion, she will take you, and your cultivation techniques will be much better than mine by then!” Ye Yunxi replied.

Simultaneously, she couldn’t resist patting Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng’s heads.

As she patted, she laughed.

She thought to herself.

“Daring to call me little niece… you two little rascals! Once you learn the techniques, I’ll personally teach you magic!”
