Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 605: Chapter 472: Star Sea Fruit, Sea Measuring Stele (Two-in-One)

Obviously reminded of the Earth Dragon Valley, Ye Jingcheng only called out the actions of the Demon King.

“I hope Dragon Ancestor won’t mind that day!” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands, showing a somewhat awkward smile to the Earth Dragon Demon King’s jest.

But his attitude remained respectful. Now that the Earth Dragon Demon King had communicated with beasts, it might become a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor in the future. How could Ye Jingcheng push such a backer away?

Moreover, Ye Haicheng also showed great respect to the Earth Dragon Demon King, addressing it naturally was nothing.

“Haha, then today, I shall gift you another treasure!” The Earth Dragon Demon King casually tossed the Stone Bead Treasure from earlier to Ye Jingcheng.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

“Dragon Ancestor, this…” Ye Jingcheng seemed rather apprehensive, feeling it inappropriate to accept unearned rewards, especially a treasure of at least the fourth tier.

“It’s a reward for you framing that old fox Silver Moon last time!” The Earth Dragon Demon King declared.

“Don’t think it useless, this Stone Bead Treasure, though a Tier Four Lower-Grade treasure, belongs to a special category of treasures, worth a good three to four million Spirit Stones, still quite valuable!” After the Earth Dragon Demon King finished speaking, it glanced at Ye Xuecang.

The meaning was clear; I know this treasure is good, but the benefits should go to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Xuecang nodded, and Ye Jingcheng immediately relaxed and smiled, stowing away the Stone Bead.

“Thank you, Dragon Ancestor, for the reward!”

As Ye Jingcheng stowed away the Stone Bead, the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon also submerged into the seawater.

A gentle Spirit Shield enveloped the three, making them feel no pressure from the sea, a sensation distinct from a Spiritual Ship, making Ye Jingcheng feel quite intrigued.

At this moment, the Golden Rhinoceros was pushing forward with vigor.

As a Great Demon of the Outer Sea, it naturally possessed significant intelligence and, witnessing the overthrow of the Sea-covering Demon King, had no resentment left.

More so, after communicating with the Ye Clan, the Spirit Pills provided by the Ye Family were much superior to devouring some Demon Beasts.

Besides, the Sea-covering Demon King wasn’t particularly kind to the surrounding Demon Beasts, sometimes even feasting on Great Demons.

Now, even just visiting the Sea-covering Demon King’s lair seemed pretty decent to the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon.

The Sea-covering Demon King’s lair wasn’t near.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that after the last Crossing the Tribulation, the Sea-covering Demon King might not have returned to its lair, lying in wait here for the Ye Family Members, otherwise it wouldn’t have come so swiftly.

Of course, it’s also possible the Sea-covering Demon King, after consuming Demon-enticing Grass, roamed around chasing after mates.

Perhaps, if Ye Jingcheng searched for Tortoise-type Demon Beasts nearby, he might even find a few Spirit Turtles with outstanding talents.

The Golden Rhinoceros swam in the water for more than half a day before reaching an abyss in the sea.

Here, the depth of the sea was at least tens of thousands of feet deep, with no trace of sunlight.

Only some glowing stones in the seabed silt emitted a bit of light.

“Arrived!” said the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon in human speech.

Ye Jingcheng finally saw into the distance.

There was a massive depression, and on closer inspection, he discovered a relic-like altar within the giant pit.

The altar stones were of superior quality, and Ye Jingcheng even noticed a remnant of an Ancient Transmission Array nearby.

However, without the Spatial Jade on the array, it couldn’t be activated for teleportation.

Otherwise, it could have been used as the Ye Family’s secondary transfer location.

Next to the array was a slightly smaller big pit, but even so, it was over a hundred yards wide.

That large pit was evidently the resting place of the Sea-covering Demon King.

“Star Sea Fruit Tree!” At this moment, an Undersea Spirit Tree captured the attention of the three.

It turned out to be a resplendent Jade Tree like the starry sky.

At the top of the Jade Tree, several Star Flowers had already bloomed.

This Spirit Fruit was also incredibly renowned in the Cultivation Realm.

Because it could greatly enhance the physical strength of a Demon King, it was a remarkable treasure for Golden Core Body Cultivators.

At the sight of this treasure, even the Earth Dragon Demon King couldn’t help but show a gleam in its eyes.

With this Star Sea Fruit, its breakthrough would naturally be more assured.

Demon Beasts, even after cultivating the Demon Cultivation Method and pursuing Spirit Cultivation like cultivators, still valued bloodline and vital essence.

This Star Sea Fruit might not play a crucial role, but it could certainly enhance, offering the Earth Dragon Demon King a higher breakthrough success rate.

“Go, eliminate the nearby Demon Beasts!” Ye Xuecang directly ordered, letting the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon first clear the perimeter.

Although it’s unlikely that Demon Beasts would dare approach the Sea-covering Demon King’s vicinity, Ye Xuecang’s prudence made him take this action anyway.

Then Ye Xuecang started setting up arrays; they wouldn’t guard the place, the Earth Dragon Demon King would return to the Taihang Mountain Range.

Ye Xuecang would guard Celestial Cloud Island.

Only after Ye Shengyi broke through to the Golden Core and became a Pseudo Pill Cultivator could someone guard here.

For now, he had to prepare the arrays in advance.

Cultivators typically need to undergo Crossing the Tribulation to break through Golden Core, but refining a Demon King’s Golden Core requires no such trial, so there was no need for grand displays.

They could settle the area quietly.

As Ye Xuecang set up the Grand Array, Ye Jingcheng continued to scrutinize the underground ruins.

There should have been an Undersea Palace or perhaps the gate of some undersea Sect here.

For cultivators in the Sea Domain, placing their mountain gate underwater wasn’t uncommon.

Ye Jingcheng had even heard of cultivators using water pressure undersea to temper their bodies.

However, Ye Jingcheng found nothing despite his search for treasures.

The imagined turtle eggs were nowhere to be found.

Evidently, this Sea-covering Demon King not only was male but also led a solitary life.

“Researching this Teleportation Array here is worthwhile!” Just then, Ye Xuecang finished arranging the arrays and walked over, glancing at the Teleportation Array relics with curiosity.

In Ye Jingcheng’s hesitant gaze, he approached where the Sea-covering Demon King had rested.

At the place of repose, there was also a three-foot-tall ancient stele.

Ye Jingcheng hadn’t noticed it before.

But once Ye Xuecang moved the stele aside, a fearsome surge of Water Attribute Spiritual Energy gushed out.

The spectacle astonished Ye Jingcheng; below, there was actually a suppressed Tier Four Spiritual Vein.

This stele was evidently an Exotic Treasure.

“Sea Measuring Stele!” Ye Jingcheng observed with its three ancient characters.

The stele was extremely dusty.

“This is the biggest gain of this expedition!” the Earth Dragon Demon King remarked at this moment.

“Is this an Ancient Treasure?” Ye Xuecang hesitated.

Evidently, even he wasn’t sure at this point.

But soon, he grinned widely.

Hearing this name, Ye Jingcheng’s heart couldn’t help but race.

In the Cultivation Realm, treasures that could be nurtured within oneself are known as Magical Treasures.

Magical Treasures are classified into Tiers Three, Four, and Five.

Above Magical Treasures lies Spirit Treasures. Spirit Treasures require specific Treasure Communication Techniques to activate.

Without a specific Treasure Communication Technique, even a Tier Six Divine Monarch of Divinity Transformation can’t utilize them.

Between Spirit Treasures and Magical Treasures lies the category of Ancient Treasures.

However, Ancient Treasures differ from Magical and Spirit Treasures; they are more unique, cannot be stored internally for nurturing, and cannot be placed in Storage Spaces.

Even a Grotto Heaven can’t hold them, as they involve some rules of heaven and earth.

But it can’t be denied that Ancient Treasures possess immense power.

If in the Sea-covering Demon King’s old lair, striking against it, possibly both Ye Xuecang and the Earth Dragon Demon King would be defeated!

“Long Daoist, it may trouble you to guard this place for a while!” Though the Earth Dragon Demon King’s attributes didn’t perfectly match.

But at this moment, Ye Xuecang had no choice.

After all, he had to keep an eye on the Celestial Cloud Islands, and the other Purple Mansions wouldn’t be able to hold this place.

Only the Earth Dragon Demon King could guard here, ensuring his peace of mind.

Otherwise, if the Ancient Treasure were stolen, or if the Tier Four Spirit Vein was discovered, or even if the Star Sea Fruit vanished, it wouldn’t be a situation the Ye Family wished to face.

Once Ye Shengyi breaks through to the Golden Core, they can naturally replace the Earth Dragon Demon King.

“It’s no problem!” the Earth Dragon Demon King nodded.

It was interested in this place too.

The presence of the nearby Star Sea Fruit Tree made it even more satisfied.

Watching the fruit tree mature was a relief to it.

As for the Earth Dragon Valley, it wouldn’t encounter problems for years or even decades.

Even if troubles arose, the Earth Dragon Demon wouldn’t care much.

The Spirit Fruit Trees there matured recently, and it had already devoured them.

As for other forces, as long as it’s there, it could always rally such a force.

“Then it’s settled, Jingcheng, next, let’s search the nests of other Great Demons!” Ye Xuecang continued to cover the Sea Measuring Stele over the Underground Spirit Vein, preventing its leakage.

Then he took Ye Jingcheng with him and summoned the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon.

The Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon was excited, but when it heard about searching its own lair, it became dejected, even finding the Spirit Fishes it had just devoured tasteless!
