Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 1055 - 736: True Monarchs’ Summit, Moon Lake Seizes the Array
Cyan Crow Islands, Cyan Crow City.
This is the largest island closest to the Celestial Horse Sea Domain within the Cyan Crow Islands.
At this moment, the island stands with towering city walls a hundred feet high, with countless beacon towers interspersed upon them.
The entire island is also equipped with a Tier Five Array, making it the second gateway of the sea domain, facing the Celestial Horse Pass across the sea.
On the city walls, the cultivators who previously guarded the Celestial Horse Pass have evidently been replaced.
They remain passionate, still full of longing for the sea domain. Occasionally, some cultivators exhibit different expressions.
If you observe their eyes closely, you can see they have completely lost the will to fight again; they are the surviving cultivators from the last beast tide.
Years of resistance against the beast tide, from initially yearning for spirit beast corpses and inner cores, to now becoming numb.
Being able to escape with their lives is considered fortunate for them.
After all, cultivators pursue cultivation for the sake of longevity, but facing Flood Dragons is truly a matter of life and death.
Rather than this, it’s better to be cautious; at least qi cultivators can live up to a hundred and twenty years, and those in Foundation Establishment can live up to two hundred and fifty years.
Therefore, they wish the Four Great Sects wouldn’t create any more trouble, and hope the Flood Dragons would slowly depart.
Xu Changqing flew in from a distance and headed towards the great hall on the city walls.
Currently, his expression was eager, naturally drawing the curiosity of the city’s cultivators.
Such urgency is indeed rare in Cyan Crow City.
“Which True Monarch is on duty today?” Xu Changqing directly asked the Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the middle.
“Elder Xu, this month, the one on duty is the Celestial Water True Monarch from the Celestial Water Sect!” Naturally, these Foundation Establishment cultivators dared not defy Xu Changqing; even those with backgrounds would keep a low profile before elders of higher cultivation.
“Good!” Xu Changqing nodded. Now, in Cyan Jade City, there are at least two Nascent Soul True Monarchs on duty, worried that the Flood Dragon Race might return to attack and seize territory.
Although these beast tides aren’t actually targeting these places specifically, they’ve treated humans like elixirs, especially body cultivators, who are greatly desired by Flood Dragons and Chenjing.
Resulting in body cultivators pretending to wear Spirit-Blocking Robes during the beast tide battles, not daring to delve deep into them.
Xu Changqing quickly entered the great hall and met the Celestial Water True Monarch.
Yet, he was surprised to find all four True Monarchs present: the Celestial Water True Monarch from the Celestial Water Sect, True Monarch Chi Shan from Haoyang Daoist Temple, True Monarch Xuri from East Heaven Sect, and True Monarch Wanshui from the Sea-controlling Sect.
Among them, True Monarch Wanshui is a rare Flood Dragon True Monarch, with a Flood Dragon under his command being a Demon King.
Thus, True Monarch Wanshui is extremely renowned in the vicinity of the East Sea.
Moreover, he is admired and emulated by many cultivators.
In front of the four True Monarchs, there was also Yu Xiaoqi from the Jade Cloud Yu Family.
“Are you reporting about the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea?” The question came from the Celestial Water True Monarch.
Xu Changqing nodded, understanding that the first achievements might have already been taken.
“Is it true that a Secret Treasure has emerged in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea?” queried the Celestial Water True Monarch.
This instantly left Xu Changqing incredulous.
“Oh…”
“Reporting to True Monarch, it’s not the case. This time, it’s because a Demon Saint was born in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea!” Xu Changqing only felt an opportunity arise.
He knew that the report by Yu Xiaoqi could not compare to his.
Thus, he began to vividly narrate.
“Oh!” At this moment, not only the Celestial Water True Monarch was interested, but the other three True Monarchs also became greatly intrigued.
If it were just a Secret Treasure, they might covet it but wouldn’t dare break through Celestial Horse Pass.
Yet if the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea’s Evil Flood Dragon breaks through to become a Demon Saint.
Then, it’s essential to report to the Penglai Immortal Sect, as the Immortal Sect leading would mean breaking Celestial Horse Pass is a matter of moments.
“Reporting to True Monarch, this news was brought by two Celestial Cloud Islands cultivators, located in the Secret Realm where my younger family member Xu Xiuyuan is. They had previously hidden near the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea Realm, only to have their secret realm discovered, allowing them to escape and witness the grand phenomenon over the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, where even pythons can only wait around the perimeter!” Xu Changqing explained.
Upon hearing this, the four True Monarchs nodded.
“The cultivators from Yu Xiaoqi’s side saw numerous cultivators heading towards the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, suggesting there might be a Secret Treasure, which aligns, albeit with some potential time discrepancies!”
“From this, the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea might truly break through to Demon Saint level. This matter, I will report to Penglai Immortal Sect, Xuri Daoist, call for all Eastern Domain Nascent Soul cultivators to counter-attack, you will handle this, in the meantime, announce a Tier Five Auction to be held at Celestial Horse Pass in six months!”
“Believe this will attract more East Sea cultivators!”
“The Celestial Flood Dragon Sea differs from other Demon Races, should they wish to land on the continent, they can do so. Therefore, this matter requires serious attention from our Four Sects!” opened True Monarch Wanshui.
“Friend Xu and Friend Yu, you both have merit, once this matter is resolved, our Four Sects will assist in restoring the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain!” Celestial Water True Monarch added.
Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing and Yu Xiaoqi were overjoyed.
After all, if the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain is restored, they don’t believe their family could remain one of the island powers.
With so many Nascent Soul powers investing heavily in the East Sea, the future Cyan Cloud Sea Domain will inevitably become a puppet of these powers.
Gaining the Four Great Sects’ promise represents an advantageous position!
…
Yin Shark Abyss, within the Scroll Space.
At this moment, Ye Xingliu, Ye Xingmu, and An Yuhuai had all returned here.
Along with them were forty to fifty cultivators.
Among them were Xu Xiuyuan from the Xu Family and others, while the remaining cultivators were from a small part of the Yu family.
Among the Yu family’s cultivators was a team led by Ye Xingfen, another Hidden Peak Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator from the Ye Family.
Moreover, they had quite a harvest, this remnant of the Yu family came from an ore vein, intercepted by demon beasts during the beast tide, and hiding in a Tier One and Two Secret Realm.
“According to the reply from that side, the Four Sects have had strong reactions!” Ye Xingliu stated.
He held the Ten Thousand Miles Jade; at this moment, Xu Changqing from the Xu Family was still continuously sending him transmissions.
Wanting to learn more information.
Ye Xingliu felt that the other party had already guessed that something had happened to the Xu Family.
But the other party seemed to want to use this information to gain more benefits and didn’t care at all whether Xu Xiuyuan survived or not.
“Hmm, next, we should move to a different place, head towards the Chiyun Islands, and it’s best to hide in a Mini World!”
“Then, we will use the identities of these fifty people to leave, and by that time, the business association within the Yu Family will be arranged to welcome us!!” Ye Xuecang spoke.
They could no longer wait for the Tai Cang Turtle and Ye Jingcheng to come and pick them up, so they had to cross the Celestial Horse Pass on their own.
Once their plan was in place, the group of cultivators swiftly set off.
…
Taihang Mountain Range, Half Moon Lake.
At this moment, a Thunder Roc circled in, hovering above the lake, sweeping around it three times before quickly diving towards the Spirit Fish in the lake.
Before long, it caught a large Moon Scale Fish.
This kind of Moon Scale Fish is quite famous in the Cultivation Realm. Although it doesn’t compare to the Black Mushroom Fish, it is extremely delicious and eating it frequently not only replenishes a Body Cultivator’s Blood Qi but is also quite beneficial for a Water Attribute Cultivator’s cultivation.
After grabbing the fish, the Thunder Roc flew towards a distant mountain peak.
Finally, it landed on a tree on a desolate mountain.
The Thunder Roc was merely a Tier Two Peak Thunder Roc and soon began to feast greatly.
After a full half an hour, the Thunder Roc burped, but it was evident that it wasn’t full.
It then headed back toward Half Moon Lake.
Made three trips in a row.
The first trip was to the outer area of Half Moon Lake, another to the island in the lake’s center, and the last one landed at the ruins of the Teleportation Array.
Each time, it caught three Spirit Fish and flew back to the desolate mountain.
Only after this did it fly towards a farther location.
The twilight started to spread, and a beast tide rushed into the Taihang Commandery. The Taihang Mountain Range noticeably became much quieter.
At this moment, atop a mountain peak, Ye Jing Hu looked at the Spirit Disc in his hand, which displayed the image of the giant tree on the desolate mountain.
Beside the giant tree was a Shadow Wood Puppet, which he also observed to ensure no one was following the Thunder Roc.
After all, at present, most of his family was in the Desert Sea, and he no longer had the luxury of making any mistakes.
He had to use the Spirit-Slaying Sword Secret Technique to retrieve the Teleportation Array.
He felt that once he retrieved it and completed the newest task assigned by the family, his state of mind would be much more perfect.
It naturally made him extremely tense, as there was no margin for error.
Of course, he also worried that the Teleportation Array was damaged severely.
And was concerned about not being able to repair it in time.
He glanced at the sunset; he still didn’t set out but continued using the Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique.
He knew the most important thing now was to keep calm.
He wasn’t short on time, so in the following days, the Thunder Roc would visit Half Moon Lake every other day.
Because the Tier Three Great Demon that originally resided at Half Moon Lake had been slain by Ye Jingcheng, even if some Silver Moon Pythons and Blood Moon Pythons were left, they were just food for the Thunder Roc.
Just more abundant varieties.
After all, this Thunder Roc of Ye Jing Hu had undergone two advancements.
On its forehead, there were also Lightning Spirit Patterns, with a tendency to slowly grasp a Breathing Technique.
This continued for more than half a month.
Ye Jing Hu finally deployed an Incarnation Puppet.
This was a Tier Two Spirit Puppet, and it also sat atop the Thunder Roc, exploring once again.
After ensuring there were no issues, Ye Jing Hu quietly arrived at Half Moon Lake on a moonless night.
He took a deep breath before arriving at the location of the Teleportation Array that Ye Jingcheng had departed from that day.
The Teleportation Array was severely damaged.
The giant claw marks were shocking.
Fortunately, the most crucial Spatial Jade wasn’t damaged.
Evidently, the Demon Saint merely destroyed the Teleportation Array that day and did not damage the Spatial Jade.
Ye Jing Hu continually used the Spirit-Slaying Sword.
When the Teleportation Array was collected, his entire body seemed to relax a little.
But he didn’t dare linger for long and swiftly darted towards the Taihang Mountain Range.
However, the place he headed for was not the outer area but the Chixia Ridge of the Three-eyed Demon King.
The Taihang Commandery was full of Demon Beasts, and although his strength was decent, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could withstand all the threats.
Yet, at the Three-eyed Demon King’s place, he could hide within the Blood Flame Crystal Ore.
Even a Demon Emperor’s Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the ore vein there.
Unless the Three-eyed Demon King betrayed him, only then would he face a crisis.
However, with the Soul Contract in place, as long as Ye Jingcheng remained alive, there would never be betrayal.
