Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 712 - 528: Guiding the Return to the Mountain, the Death of Celestial Blessing (Two-in-One)
Chapter 712: Chapter 528: Guiding the Return to the Mountain, the Death of Celestial Blessing (Two-in-One)
“This matter need not be mentioned again now!” Ye Jingcheng glared directly.
Then he boarded the Spiritual Ship directly.
He took out a Tier Two Spiritual Ship, as the Tier Three Spiritual Ship had been returned to Chen Yan.
Standing at the bow, his expression was solemn, and he forced a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Uncle Xingyi, we’re going home, your term is over!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.
He then shouted, “Aunt Xingqing, we are all going home!”
With these words, Ye Jingcheng led the Ye Clan members on the Spiritual Ship towards Lingyun Peak in Taihang Commandery.
Leaving behind the families and cultivators in Taichang Commandery to look at each other in dismay.
Yes, Ye Jingcheng was informing the sect that he was first the Patriarch of the Ye Family, and only then a registered disciple of Master Tianfu.
Moreover, all the formalities of the day were complete, and no one could say anything.
The only issue was that Ye Jingcheng did not report to the mountain gate.
But since Chen Yan and Ye Jingcheng had been together, he could provide a full account on his behalf.
As for whether Chen Yan would recount truthfully,
it was irrelevant, because the Spirit Inquiry Talisman could verify everything.
For Ye Jingcheng, as long as they left the Taichang Mountain Range, the matters of this day could finally allow him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he could hold vigil, have the grand wedding, and considering the journey, Master Tianfu could neither hide it nor endure it.
Such actions would arouse suspicion from the Taiyi Sect.
Someone as cautious as Master Tianfu would never invite such suspicion from the Taiyi Sect.
The Spiritual Ship reached the Spirit Field Wilderness without obstruction or anyone transmitting messages.
Ye Jingcheng then let out a long sigh of relief. Had anyone been behind him, they would have noticed the cold sweat wiped from his back.
He had sensed the Divine Sense of a True Master just now.
Thus, he pressed on without a moment’s delay, rushing towards Taihang Commandery.
“Patriarch…” Ye Jingli wanted to ask something but,
Ye Jingcheng shot him a fierce look, and Ye Jingli immediately fell silent.
Even though they were out of the True Master’s Divine Sense range, they were not beyond the reach of a Nascent Soul’s Divine Sense.
If they spoke carelessly and that Nascent Soul True Monarch overheard, it would bring unprecedented trouble to the Ye Family.
Ye Jingcheng continued to kneel before the wooden burial chamber on the Spiritual Ship, with Ye Jingyun and Ye Jingli kneeling beside him as well.
Besides the three of them, surprisingly, Ye Qingfu also knelt beside them, his forehead buried deep in the ground, with a drop of crystal teardrop glistening from his face.
“Cultivators are not heartless, they just hide it better than mortals.” Ye Jingcheng could not recall which elder of the family had said this, but it was indeed a fitting description at this moment.
The Spiritual Ship slowly drifted towards Taihang Commandery.
Since it was a Tier Two Spiritual Ship, it took ten days before the outline of the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak appeared in the distance.
The sunset had already sunk to the other side of Lingyun Peak.
Ye Jinghu of the Ye Family activated the Array.
On the Spiritual Ship, Ye Jingcheng finally stood up.
For ten days he had knelt there, as did Ye Jingyun and Ye Jingli.
Once on the mountain peak, Ye Jingcheng ordered the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak bell and drum to sound; he and all Ye Clan members lined up and walked Ye Xingyi up the mountain.
After reaching the top, Ye Jingcheng entered the family Ancestral Hall, completing all procedures before beginning the vigil.
When everyone else had left, Ye Jingcheng released Ye Xuecang, who also settled beside him.
“Second Granduncle, I think the strategy has succeeded, now we just have to wait for Dragon Ancestor to continue his assault on Jade Dragon Valley, or sweep through Lion King Ridge…”
Ye Xuecang nodded after hearing Ye Jingcheng’s account, after a long while.
“Instruct the family members not to use Communication Beasts, and have Jing Yun exaggerate the family’s losses to lower the morale of the Ye Clan. Also, let Jing Li start visiting families in the Taihang Commandery, and the wedding one month later…” Ye Xuecang added one by one.
Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly, although he had deliberated for a long time, involving another person’s perspective ensured even more thoroughness.
And then the days on Lingyun Peak gradually calmed down, as Chu Yanqing had already been sent to Taichu Cyan Cloud Nunnery.
To adapt to her identity in advance, waiting for Ye Jingcheng to come for the marriage.
Moreover, there was already a female cultivator named Chu Qing at the Cyan Cloud Nunnery, which fit well for continuing to use the name Chu Qing.
However, the Yan generation cannot be used anymore.
On the fifth day of the vigil,
which was the fifteenth day since Ye Jingcheng returned to Lingyun Peak, a cultivator rushed to the entrance of Lingyun Peak.
It was Jiang Jinghe, the Market Master Jiang.
“Market Master Jiang, you’ve come today?” Ye Jingyun welcomed him, as Ye Jingcheng was still keeping vigil inside and could not come out.
“Ye Daoist, this time Jiang has come to inform you of two matters!”
“First, Master Tianfu has passed away, and he entrusted the sect to give Elder Ye a message!”
“Master Tianfu said he doesn’t blame Elder Ye, rather, he feels a bit guilty towards Elder Ye, since he hadn’t taught him much, he left some treasures for Elder Ye. When you visit to pay respects, Elder Tianzhen will pass them to you!” Jiang Jinghe said enthusiastically.
Proceeding with:
“Secondly, congratulations to Elder Ye on breaking through to the Purple Mansion. Henceforth, you also become an Outer Sect Steward of Taiyi Sect. Today, we’ve brought the Taiyi Sect Daoist Robe and Steward Order, allowing you to slightly mobilize Outer Disciples of the Taiyi Sect in the Eastern Domain and have access to some Taiyi Sect exchange rights…” Jiang Jinghe continued.
After hearing the two matters, Ye Jingyun cordially received and entertained Jiang Jinghe.
“Ye Daoist, I wonder if the young one could pay respects in the ancestral hall to commemorate the Ye ancestors,” Jiang Jinghe asked very courteously at the end.
“Naturally, you may!” Soon, Ye Jingyun guided Jiang Jinghe into the Ancestral Hall, where Ye Jingcheng was still inside.
Jiang Jinghe entered the Ancestral Hall and also began to offer his respects.
After the homage, Ye Jingcheng looked at Jiang Jinghe.
“Elder Ye, you must already know about Master Tianfu’s matter, so the younger generation won’t repeat it, but here is the Taiyi Sect’s rule; hoping Ye Daoist will swear a Heavenly Dao Oath!” Jiang Jinghe spoke.
Ye Jingcheng, hearing this, was not surprised; every branch of Taiyi sects demands their affiliated forces to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath.
The oath mainly states they cannot betray the Taiyi Sect.
Other than that, it’s quite lenient.
After verifying it was the same as others, Ye Jingcheng also swore this oath.
This type of oath only targets individuals; if in the future the Ye Family’s power becomes strong enough, naturally other Ye Clan members can take action.
Moreover, if Taiyi Sect actively persecutes the Ye Family, this Heavenly Dao Oath becomes invalid.
Of course, if the oath is not taken, then they are defined as evil cultivators by Taiyi Sect, making it impossible for the Ye Family to have good days ahead.
That’s partly why these sects sometimes trust families more.
Families act with finesse, fearing trouble for their common members, alongside the Heavenly Dao Oath.
So even if Wan Family, Cheng Family, Jiang Family etc. rebel this time, they cannot join the ranks attacking Taiyi Sect.
They can only exploit loopholes targeting Taiyi Sect’s other affiliated forces.
Or work inefficiently, delivering effort without results!
Once Ye Jingcheng completed the Heavenly Dao Oath, Jiang Jinghe departed.
Upon leaving, his gaze turned complex; firstly out of duty, and now out of personal sentiment.
After all, over forty years ago, when Ye Jingcheng first met Jiang Jinghe, the latter was already at Foundation Establishment, and at that time Ye Jingcheng called Jiang Jinghe a senior.
Yet, as of today, Ye Jingcheng had broken through to Purple Mansion, while Jiang Jinghe remained at Foundation Establishment.
The terms “senior” and “junior” had completely reversed.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief, despite chatting with Jiang Jinghe significantly he had been extremely tense inside.
Each person entering the Ancestral Hall could potentially be Master Tianfu in disguise.
Now, knowing Master Tianfu’s demise made him venture to the Taihang Mountain Range again.
The treasure left by Master Taihang filled him with indecision.
However, he would not go immediately.
There were two days left of vigil, furthermore, his wedding arrangements had been set, and mourning should not clash with joy unless a Golden Core True Master came to fetch him.
Otherwise, a round trip would take more than twenty days.
Long since delayed.
As he currently did not have a Tier Three Treasure Ship, only a Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Ship.
Then, two more days passed, and this day before the ancestral hall, a long unseen member of the Ye Family suddenly appeared at the front of the ancestral hall.
The entrance of the ancestral hall was watched by Ye Xingming and other family elders.
“Jing Qi, why are you here?”
“Returning to Uncle Xingming, I heard Uncle Xingyi has passed, and I wanted to pay tribute. Back then, it was Uncle Xingyi who treated me well and also hosted the Immortal Ascension Conference that allowed me to gain a Spirit Root…”
