Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 583: Chapter 463: The Plot to Destroy Zi and An Yuhuai’s Question (Double Chapter)

There were many strange rocks on the island, and the mountains stood steep and towering.

On Yu Chu Mountain, there were as many as ten great halls. It was said that in the peak period of the Yu Chu Sect, there were ten Ascendants, known collectively as the Shiqing Hall.

However, now only one hall remained illuminated.

The Sect Leader of the Yu Chu Sect, Guo Xingyun, was currently heading towards this last Jade Inquiry Hall with a face full of worry.

Upon arriving at the Jade Inquiry Hall, Guo Xingyun spoke, “Uncle Chengwen, I have an important report!”

“Come in, I have a general sense of it!” Yuwen Ascendant’s voice echoed from within.

The doors of the hall opened, and Guo Xingyun entered.

“Uncle Chengwen, the Purple Wood Sect has launched a sudden attack. Should I lead a surprise attack on their Cloud Wood Island? They have over a thousand Purple Cloud Woods cultivated there. Seizing them would severely harm the Purple Wood Sect and compensate for our Yuqing Island’s losses!” Guo Xingyun suggested.

“Hmph, what is the Purple Wood Sect? With our Yu Chu Sect’s millennium of foundation, we could destroy them ten times over. This time, pay attention to who is truly stirring things up!” Yuwen Ascendant’s brows furrowed coldly.

He then continued in a cold tone:

“If it weren’t for Yu Xingmu exposing the Spirit Diagram of the Five Elements Spirit Palace, do you think the Yun Family of Celestial Essence Dao would fabricate the slander against Cyan Fish Island, inciting the Purple Wood Sect to declare war on us?”

“The Yun Family couldn’t be supporting the Purple Wood Sect, right…” Guo Xingyun hesitated.

The Purple Wood Sect is a new force, having the least tribute ties with the Yun Family.

“What do you know? The Five Elements Spirit Palace is the inherited Spirit Palace of the True Monarch of Five Elements. An independent cultivator’s Nascent Soul is enough to prove the extraordinariness of its Cultivation Techniques and treasures. The Yun Family dreams of advancing further and entering the Celestial Horse Sea Domain, naturally they pay utmost attention. It’s detestable that he raised the price after studying the Spirit Diagram!”

“From today, abolish Yu Xingmu’s direct lineage status. He is not a Guo Family member, and indeed should not be overly trusted!” Yuwen Ascendant coldly ordered.

Upon hearing this, Guo Xingyun dared not say more.

Yu Xingmu, with a highly talented Wind Spirit Root, contributed to obtaining the Spirit Diagram of the Five Elements Spirit Palace.

However, he caused the family to lose Yuqing Island in an instant, and according to Yuwen Ascendant, Yu Xingmu was truly as dumb as wood, easily manipulated by the Yun Family to reveal sect secrets.

Naturally, he dared not plead further.

Nevertheless, considering Yu Xingmu’s cultivation at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he subtly suggested:

“Uncle Chengwen, Yu Xingmu is a direct descendant of our Yu Chu Sect and has been nurtured for so long, perhaps we could let him take the lead during the attack on the Purple Wood Sect?”

“Fine, but only after I visit Celestial Cloud Island. Once you contact other Purple Mansion influences, after I’ve coordinated with the Yun Family, I’m sure they’d want a piece of the Purple Wood Sect as well!” Yuwen Ascendant stated coolly.

“Additionally, create a reproduction of the Spirit Diagram of the Five Elements Spirit Palace, and find a way to remove a corner and make it look aged for me!”

…

Three days passed in a blink, Ye Jingcheng awoke from his cultivation.

He felt a renewed advancement in the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, adding some joy to his face.

Possibly due to continuous battles, Ye Jingcheng felt his cultivation speed had quickened over the past couple of days, causing him to reflect.

If possible, he truly wished to establish a hidden island of his own.

His Spirit Beasts needed enhancement, and he himself also needed to strengthen his combat ability.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng planned to mention it to Ye Haicheng after going out.

However, today, he indeed needed to go out, as the Turtle Ancestor had stayed with him for quite some time, seemingly forgetting it wasn’t Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beast.

And it had forgotten it still had a Grotto Heaven, where there were a few of Ye Haicheng’s Tier Two Spirit Beasts.

Now, in good company with Peach Wood, they were almost close as brothers.

“Turtle Ancestor, we need to go out today. The family has some important matters that require you to take charge!” Ye Jingcheng, following the Turtle Ancestor’s cue, received agreement and exited the Grotto Heaven.

Three days passed, Ye Xuecang and Ye Shengyi were still recovering, but Ye Haicheng had already come out of seclusion.

He had a through-and-through injury, but his Communication Beast was the Turtle Ancestor, and his recovery ability was extremely formidable. Plus, with Spirit Pills, he had now turned his serious injuries into minor ones.

Seeing the Turtle Ancestor and Ye Jingcheng emerge, Ye Haicheng’s brows furrowed into a line.

“Haicheng, your grandson sought my guidance on cultivation technique mysteries!” The Turtle Ancestor, somewhat fearful of Ye Haicheng, admitted. Of course, the one he feared the most was Ye Xuecang.

Yet Ye Xuecang had previously placed high hopes on Ye Haicheng.

Saying this, the Turtle Ancestor also transmitted his voice to Ye Jingcheng, giving a sly look.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but want to laugh.

“Jingcheng, the family has ensured your Contribution Points reward, of 150,000 Contribution Points!” Ye Haicheng announced.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

“Isn’t this a bit much? After all, we kept the Spirit Beast Materials for ourselves!”

“It’s not much. You did hold off the Golden Core Demon King, and in a month, your Second Uncle wants you to seek him out!” Ye Haicheng explained.

After saying this, there was some smile on his face.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng was still not overly moved, he continued:

“Kid, do you know what it signifies that your Second Uncle called for you?”

“And do you know why the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon remained?” Ye Haicheng inquired.

“For plans concerning the Outer Sea and the Sea-covering Demon King?” Ye Jingcheng replied.

“It’s enough that you understand in your heart, and with so many Great Demon’s islands, the natural resources within will surely not be scarce.” Ye Haicheng responded.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, indeed, if this were true, he owed much to his Second Ancestor for handling it.

Without Second Ancestor present, he wouldn’t dare venture to the Outer Sea at this time.

But if Ye Xuecang were there, it was an entirely different matter.

Moreover, the demonic aura in a Great Demon’s territory lingered for a long time, especially on islands, they wouldn’t be easily conquered in the short term.

If Ye Jingcheng could really visit the Outer Sea in a month, his gains would definitely not be few.

“Grandfather, I’m in the midst of a secluded breakthrough in the Yan Kingdom, lasting at least five or six years, and I wish to have a hidden island.” Ye Jingcheng contemplated momentarily before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haicheng also nodded.

Indeed, with Ye Jingcheng having now broken through the Purple Mansion, and several Spirit Beasts being at or near Tier Three, a hidden island would allow him to gain greater benefits.

“I will have Fourth Ancestor and your Uncle Haifei keep an eye out. Previously, all hidden islands were selected by the two of them!” Ye Haicheng responded.

His Fourth Ancestor, Ye Xuefan, needed an island for his Array, while Ye Haifei possessed the Blood Leech Spirit Beast, able to find the best-hidden island location in the nearby Sea Domain.

“Thank you very much, Grandfather!” Ye Jingcheng repeatedly bowed in gratitude and took out a Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag contained Ye Haicheng’s acquisitions from Sea Heart Island, including the Thousand-legged Crow Seal and several Tier Two Demon Beasts.

“The Yellow Ginseng Fruit you gave me last time is worth the value of it all!” Ye Haicheng shook his head.

“Grandfather, you’re being too formal with your grandson. Your grandson’s Celestial River Bead was crafted with your help, and he will still need your help in crafting a Blazing Flame Fan and Celestial Sand Bead among other Lifebound Magical Treasures!” Ye Jingcheng continued enthusiastically.

With this request, Ye Haicheng finally relented and accepted the Storage Bag, realizing the Spirit Beast Materials had considerably increased, along with several Demon Beast Inner Cores.

“Grandfather, take the Yellow Ginseng Fruit and have the Turtle Ancestor consume some Earth Attribute Inner Cores, improving the breakthrough probability!” Seeing Ye Haicheng seeming resistant, Ye Jingcheng quickly added.

Having said that, he headed directly toward the ground.

The Turtle Ancestor was also entrusted to Ye Haicheng. Under the guise of Tang Cheng, he had been only with the Purple Wood Sect for a few days, and if he did not go out soon, some in the sect might take him for a spy.

Especially the Grand Elder, who had been quite antagonistic toward him.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the courtyard assigned to him, removed the seclusion plaque, and, unsurprisingly, found several Sound Transmission Talismans at the door.

And as expected, all these communication talismans were from An Yuhuai, urging him to attend the sect’s grand meeting, escalating in tone towards the end.

If he recalled correctly, Ye Jingyu should have assigned him tasks, and yet An Yuhuai was still pressing him, indicating significant discontent towards him!

Ye Jingcheng took down the Jade Talisman, used the Dust Cleaning Skill to tidy up the room, and was just about to have a sip of tea when another Sound Transmission Jade Talisman appeared.

Seeing that it was another transmission from An Yuhuai, his face darkened again!
