Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 710 - 527: Inviting Uncle’s Soul to Return
Chapter 710: Chapter 527: Inviting Uncle’s Soul to Return
In front of a courtyard in the South Mountain, several fireballs ignited a tremendous blaze.
With the flames, the battle scars were also erased one by one.
The Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Ship was finally replaced by a Tier Three Spiritual Ship.
At this moment, everyone held several Storage Bags in their hands, their faces filled with joy.
This was already the third Foundation Establishment Clan they encountered after the Wei Family.
These clans were discovered by Ye Jingcheng while venturing deep into Taichang Commandery, and he purposely lured them into pursuit.
“Junior Brother Ye, this Sima Family is truly insidious, targeting only Qi Cultivation Clans. If it weren’t for us, who knows how many fellow cultivators in Taichang Commandery would suffer their persecution!” Chen Yan sighed repeatedly, his face beaming with smiles.
If not for the inopportune moment, Chen Yan would have joined Ye Jingli and others in celebration.
The spiritual stone resources he gained these three times were enough for him to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
“It is still Senior Brother Chen’s Spirit Talismans that are useful. Without Senior Brother Chen’s Spirit Talismans and guidance, we would find it hard to achieve such a feat!” Ye Jingli replied repeatedly.
Both of them smiled, feeling brimming with valor.
Although they did not reach Taichang Commandery in time, leading a team with injured Purple Mansion cultivators to Taichang Mountain was inherently challenging.
They indeed made significant achievements amidst hardships.
The Ye Family’s losses were merely a handful of people.
However, at this moment, the token in Chen Yan’s hand suddenly lit up.
After glancing at it, Chen Yan was even more elated.
“The Qinghe scoundrels truly naively believe our Taiyi Sect has no Nascent Soul Ancestors. Little do they know our ancestor has long planned!” Chen Yan said, his eyes filled with fervor.
If Taiyi Sect suffered great losses, even this accomplishment might lead to accountability.
But now that Taiyi Sect’s losses were minimal, and the greatest loss was sustained by the noble families of Taichang Commandery,
it was not unlike the beast tide in Taihang Commandery.
For those families, their losses matter little to Chen Yan or the entire Sect.
As long as the Sect remains intact, for Chen Yan, eliminating the troublemaker teams of three families is undoubtedly a tremendous merit.
“Patriarch Ye, the invasion of Qinghe Sect has not ended, and negotiations are ongoing. Even True Monarchs have appeared. We should head there quickly!” Chen Yan looked towards Ye Jingcheng in the room.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately understood that the battle likely wouldn’t continue.
Because without a resolution, Nascent Soul cultivators with their intricate relationships would essentially avoid fighting further.
After all, if you can’t kill the opponent, it’s easy for the Nascent Soul cultivator to escape.
Without any organizational constraints, Nascent Soul cultivators at that time become very terrifying.
In the Eastern Domain Countries, Golden Core loose cultivators are treated with courtesy by major sects.
This is due to fear of such loose cultivators becoming troublemakers.
“Alright, Junior Chen, rest assured, I have already recovered a considerable amount of True Essence!” After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, he piloted the Spiritual Ship straight towards the Taichang Mountain Range.
His clan token kept transmitting, but there was no reply from Ye Xingyi.
This made Ye Jingcheng somewhat worried.
After sending Ye Jing Hu to look at the Soul Talisman, he learned that only four people were left, causing his heart to ache.
In his mind, the figure of Ye Xingyi unconsciously appeared.
He naturally was extremely familiar with this clan uncle, having worked with him at Taichang Market for more than a decade.
He was not articulate nor jocular, but his dedication to the Dao was not weaker than anyone else’s.
Even after Foundation Establishment, he did not relax at all.
He was also a key figure in the Ye Family.
A Tier Two Middle-grade Alchemist.
He could be regarded as second only to him in the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak among Alchemists, with skills significantly surpassing those of Ye Jingyun.
After all, Ye Jingyun, as the Patriarch for years, delayed quite a bit of time.
Surely, besides the sorrow, Ye Jingcheng’s eyes also turned extremely cold.
He knew that the unseen struggle afterward would be the most intense.
A slight relaxation could lead to issues.
Moreover, he definitely couldn’t go to the Taichang Mountain or meet Master Tianfu.
He was carrying Ye Xuecang, and if he truly went to the Taichang Mountain, the Ye Family would lose everything!
He speculated that Chen Yan might be hiding something, so he opened his mouth and said:
“Junior Chen, I would like to ask about the situation in the Taichang Mountain Range and the losses of my Ye Family?” Ye Jingcheng asked tentatively.
Sure enough, Chen Yan did not hesitate and directly said:
“Master Iron Fist of Martial Peak has fallen, and quite a few mountain peaks were lost, but the core Grand Array and foundation are still present. As for the Ye Family, I hope Martial Uncle can condole…”
“Junior Chen, understood!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.
Afterward, Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the Spiritual Ship, already donned in a white robe.
When Ye Jingcheng, dressed in a white robe, stepped out, the rest of the Ye Family members also tacitly changed into white robes.
“Junior Martial Uncle Ye, this…”
“Uncle Xingyi is to me, as dear as a father. My lifelong alchemy attainments largely come from my fourth grandfather, and secondly from Uncle Xingyi, but I…”
For a moment, Ye Jingcheng felt a sense of being moved to tears.
The entire Tier Three Spiritual Ship transitioned from being fully enrobed in Daoist robes to completely clad in white cloth.
White silk hung from every corner of the Spiritual Ship.
They even lit white candles.
In both mundane and family traditions, many believe that only by lighting candles and donning mourning clothes can spirits be guided back.
For the Ye Family, Ye Xingyi was undoubtedly the spirit of the clan.
“If it weren’t for my cultivation repeatedly failing to stabilize and encountering this catastrophe, delaying time…” Ye Jingcheng sighed deeply and bowed respectfully towards the Taichang Mountain Range.
Beside him, Chen Yan stayed silent; as a sect cultivator, he naturally didn’t understand this behavior.
But it doesn’t prevent him from respecting this act.
Whether it’s Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even Divinity Transformation Cultivators, there comes a time when life ends. All cultivators naturally wish for their soul to return to their homeland.
On the long road to longevity, if they can ascend to become immortal step by step, that is naturally better.
But if not, people still hope to have a place for their soul to return and receive offerings of incense.
“Uncle Ye, please be at ease!”
“Thank you, Junior Chen. My Uncle Xingyi had no children and never married in his life. Today, I can only wear mourning clothes to guide his spirit and keep watch over him.” Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands, his face still filled with sorrow.
“Jingcheng, what about your marriage?” At this moment, Ye Xingqun also spoke.
“There’s still a month left until the wedding, there’s no rush!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
Seeing this, Chen Yan also said no more.
Even wearing a white robe made him a bit uneasy, so he switched to a white robe as well.
Even though he wasn’t a member of the Ye Family, at least at this moment, he could blend into the atmosphere of sorrow.
He didn’t even look at the storage bag, afraid he couldn’t control his emotions.
Of course, once he blended in, when no one was paying attention, Chen Yan also started passing messages.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.
Although his sorrowful expression was not fake in the slightest, it was also a prelude to his return home.
After all, it’s customary to keep vigil for seven days.
There’s no saying of switching souls midway; even if Master Tianfu truly passed away, he would keep vigil for each and every one.
Although a master’s grace is like a father’s, with Ye Xingyi, he was both an uncle and a father.
Moreover, Ye Xingyi passed away first.
Seeing nothing unusual, Ye Jingcheng once again concealed his cultivation completely, while also fully activating his true essence, directing the spiritual ship toward the Taichang Mountain Range.
All the developments were still within his plan.
From now on, everything would proceed smoothly. Ye Jingcheng wasn’t looking for any other Qinghe Sect families, and even if he wanted to, he couldn’t find them.
They had all basically hidden themselves now; no affiliated forces would continue attacking each Spirit Mountain.
The reason Ye Jingcheng could find them earlier was because he was very familiar with the clan mountains of each major family in Taichang Commandery.
He had gained such results by passing through the Spirit Mountains of various families.
In the Ye Family, as Patriarch, knowing the clan mountains of each major power in the Taiyi Three Commanderies is a basic requirement.
Those who are more strict even need to understand the major families of the Qinghe Sect and Tian Dao Sect.
Ye Jingcheng belonged to the latter, and during this time, he had been understanding the situation with the Medicine King Valley in the Zhao Kingdom, the Celestial Corpse Sect in the Chu Kingdom, and the Blood King Valley in the Wei Kingdom.
After all, as the Ye Family progressed to a Purple Mansion Clan, it would eventually deal with these forces.
Once this matter is settled, the Ye Family will open a restaurant and spirit beast shop in Taichang Market.
Firstly, to increase the Ye Family’s revenue, and secondly, to let other families understand how the Ye Family’s spirit beasts develop.
Concealing a family is not just about hiding abilities.
It can also be about showcasing a side of oneself, letting them know your growth speed, and then tying interests together.
At that time, would be the rapid development period of the Ye Family.
Additionally, for the sake of caution.
Ye Jingcheng also put away the Blood Soul Bead, which can deceive a Golden Core but not necessarily a Nascent Soul, since Nascent Soul Cultivators have too many means.
They can even deduce, let alone when it’s right under their noses.
If Ye Jingcheng guessed correctly, there are at least four or more Nascent Souls appearing in the Taichang Mountain Range this time.
Perhaps even more, otherwise Qinghe Sect would not let it go.
They were only a step away from destroying the Taiyi Sect.
Moreover, they’ve already killed Golden Core Cultivators, leaving no room for reconciliation.
As for his own cultivation, Ye Jingcheng has already restrained it to the Early Stage of Purple Mansion using the ancestral Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique.
Meanwhile, utilizing the Communication Beast, he filled all his true essence with that of the Four-Colored Cloud Deer ahead of time.
With his true essence abundant, although it would automatically and continuously convert into his own true essence, this conversion process is enough to conceal it for a while.
Although the time might not be too long, in his view, it is enough.
After all, there’s no need for combat anymore.
And those Nascent Souls won’t specifically check him, if Master Tianfu didn’t guess wrong, he definitely burned some more lifespan.
Thus, he would surely be healing within the Taichang Mountain Range.
The Taichang Mountain Range is not small.
Ye Jingcheng landed in the market, even a Golden Core True Master couldn’t investigate clearly from this distance.
According to Ye Xuecang, everything Master Tianfu did should have been his own plan.
He absolutely couldn’t have informed anyone else.
Because he wanted to monopolize Ye Jingcheng’s spirit body and the entire Ye Family’s heritage.
Once he becomes Ye Jingcheng, he would also worry about Taiyi Sect looting him.
Because after possession, cultivation depends on the body.
Without breaking through Golden Core, Master Tianfu couldn’t expose himself.
Another day passed, and beneath their feet, one could already glimpse large patches of spirit fields.
In years past, at this time, these spirit fields would be brimming with a grand harvest scene.
But today, they have all been harvested, and it seems even the soil of some spirit fields have been plundered significantly.
At the horizon, Taichang Market could be seen gradually revealing itself to everyone.
“Nephew came late and allowed Uncle Yi to die, nephew deserves a thousand deaths!”
“Today’s white-clad arrival, asking the clan uncle’s soul to return!”
