Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 999 - 694: Celestial Phoenix Oasis
Chapter 999: Chapter 694: Celestial Phoenix Oasis
The enormous setting sun hung at the end of the desert, perfectly casting its dark red sunlight.
The entire land, once reverberating with a continuous roar, began to slowly quieten, accompanied by a hard-to-describe loneliness brought by the desert winds.
Above the oasis, array banners fluttered, shooting out various colors of spiritual light.
As the spiritual light intertwined, a ripple spread out, and a spirit shield rose up. A new array had appeared at the edge of the oasis city.
The array had no dragon shadow, only a Celestial Phoenix, raising its wings, its head held high in anger.
Screeching with the setting sun, competing in color with the heavens and earth.
It seemed as if the entire desert was under the shadow of the Phoenix.
Before the array, countless cultivators looked at that Phoenix shadow with solemness and a hint of emotion.
How many times had that screeching Phoenix been reborn from the nirvana fire?
And how long had the Ye Family waited for this day?
Moreover, how many cultivators stood before this array?
At this moment, quite a few Ye Family Members were injured, and in the distance, a massive Two-headed Turtle was lying down, enjoying the Tier Four Top-Grade Spiritual Vein, while also releasing a dense Wood Transformation Divine Light.
A host of demon beasts and Demon Kings were there.
Yet, the Ye Family Members did not approach.
They were staring blankly at the Phoenix shadow in the sky, the setting sun in the distance, Ye Xuefan controlling the array, and further away, a young man returning on the Jade Flood Dragon against the setting sun.
They never wanted to forget or abandon such a scene, not even for a moment.
The young man was Ye Jingcheng, and following him were not just himself.
There were also several Demon Kings and many family members.
However, these family members and Demon Kings instinctively fell behind Ye Jingcheng.
And Ye Jingcheng stood on the Jade Flood Dragon, without making way, flying into the oasis like a Celestial God.
The distant oasis had been quite damaged, and many mortals had been lost, but many still remained, now prostrating themselves and looking up at the sky.
Praying that the Immortal Masters would calm their anger.
Longxing Green Province was vast, evidently pieced together from countless oases, its area not much less than Taihang Commandery.
Stretching mountain ranges and vast cities as far as the eye could see.
Ye Jingcheng also shouted aloud:
“All clan elders, family members, and Holy Beasts, ascend with me!”
As these words fell, all the Ye Family Members shuddered, their blood boiling with excitement.
After years of Hidden Peak life, living incognito, how could they not anticipate today’s scene?
They all transformed into various spiritual lights and ascended.
Alongside them, the spirit beasts of the Ye Family also ascended.
And as they ascended, some family members even used Bone Transformation Pill to change their appearance, and now they reverted back fully!
In the future, the Ye Family would relocate a large number of mortals into the Desert Sea, and they could no longer live in anonymity. The entire Desert Sea could only bear the Ye name; hiding further held no meaning.
Indeed, even if they wanted to hide, it was unlikely they could.
This time, Zhang and Jia families had over three thousand cultivators, and even though the array was broken, quite a few escaped. The coverage of the Celestial Secret Cloth was limited.
Moreover, Zhang Taichu had already escaped, and the matter of the Ye Family taking the Desert Sea would certainly not remain concealed.
Unless the cultivators of the Zhang and Jia families in the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom were completely wiped out, they would undoubtedly widely publicize the event.
But that was something beyond control.
After all, their strength was not enough to completely crush the Zhang and Jia families.
This had always been a risk they considered before.
But now, in the Desert Sea, even if other powers wanted to come, they wouldn’t have the means.
Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng estimated that those of the Zhang and Jia families would have a Heavenly Dao Oath, prohibiting them from revealing anything about the Desert Sea.
So even if news of the Ye Family’s strength spread, it would be like the tales of the Beast Desolate Wasteland—only fragments, never complete, and some might refrain from broadcasting, unwilling to risk their legacy.
However, for Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng figured they would have to compromise even further.
Station some avatars in Taihang Commandery for now.
If infeasible, retreat from Taihang Commandery to the Taihang Mountain Range.
Such were Ye Jingcheng’s thoughts.
As the clan ascended, Ye Jingcheng finally spoke:
“Zhang and Jia were unjust, slaughtering mortals, masquerading under false names; they must be condemned!” Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Talisman, which contained images of some Zhang and Jia cultivators slaughtering mortals.
After showing these images to all the mortals, Ye Jingcheng spoke again.
“Henceforth, this land shall be protected by my Ye Family!”
“This oasis is renamed Celestial Phoenix!” Ye Jingcheng’s voice thundered like a storm, exciting all the clan members greatly.
And the mortals, upon hearing it, were filled with immense reverence.
The Zhang and Jia families were already immortal families to them; now the Ye Family seemed even mightier.
As for the name, Ye Jingcheng had already discussed it with Ye Xuefan and others.
Phoenix Nirvana, reborn in the fire!
The Ye Family was the phoenix of nirvana fire.
Once all was done, Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Xuefan, wondering if there was more to consider. Ye Xuefan just smiled and nodded at him.
The earlier scene had been recorded with the Clan Token so that absentee Hidden Peak Race People and Ye Xuecang could see it too.
The Ye Family truly had their own domain now.
And it was a land without danger.
Zhang and Jia had operated there for so long that they already scouted for other teleportation array locations.
Otherwise, the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stone would not have been so grand.
“Everyone, go check the Spirit Medicine Garden, various ore veins, and spirit medicines!” said Ye Xuefan.
“Those injured should bathe in some Wood Transformation Divine Light from the Two-headed Turtle over there. This Two-headed Turtle barely showcased its strength during magical combat, just took a beating!” Ye Jingcheng laughed as he spoke.
Of course, there was a fleeting trace of sadness in his eyes.
When the Ye Family came, they were over two hundred strong, and four to five thousand demon beasts, but now, a quarter of the cultivators and a third of the demon beasts had fallen.
This was merely a hard-earned victory.
Even the Two-headed Turtle grumbled but dared not voice a complaint.
It could only lament why it ever believed that breaking a Blood Contract would be easy.
After saying that, Ye Jingcheng stored away the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.
The Jade Qilin had been gravely injured, and the only reason he insisted on controlling the flood dragon to arrive was to astonish the mortals and deify the Ye Family, making it easier to root out those Zhang and Jia members hidden among mortals.
Nevertheless, on the journey, he had given the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon ten pages of Treasure Light to stabilize its injuries significantly.
Even the Red Flame Fox had not received such treatment.
After all, the Red Flame Fox was also heavily injured.
“Roar, master, I want to eat ten heads!”
“No, a hundred heads, roar!” The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, having reached Golden Core, actually articulated words quite fluently.
But it was still accustomed to speaking with its flood dragon mouth open, so it always sounded a bit strange.
To it, praise was meaningless; it just wanted more to eat as a reward.
“Alright!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, having stored plenty of demon beast meat in his Grotto Heaven, so he just let the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon go eat it.
After the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon entered the Grotto Heaven.
Ye Jingcheng walked towards the side.
Ye Xuefan’s voice resonated in Ye Jingcheng’s ear:
“Jingcheng, this time we acquired two Tier Four Spiritual Veins, one Tier Four Top-Grade and one Tier Four Middle Grade, and on the oasis, there are over twenty Tier Three Spiritual Veins. With the array and by placing them in the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stone, they can be converted to a Tier Five Spiritual Vein!”
Ye Xuefan was somewhat excited at this moment.
The Ye Family had certainly gambled correctly this time, making it worthwhile even if it involved some risks.
All that remained now was to set up the Teleportation Array, bring over the talents from the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak, and relocate most of the mortals from Lingyun Peak as well.
By the time the Nascent Soul cultivators return from the Celestial Horse Sea Domain, the Ye Family would have completed the total transfer.
If the Zhang and Jia families turned out to be weaker than expected, the Ye Family could continue to expand in the Eastern Domain, as without a foothold there, future transactions and the exchange of spirit medicine resources would suffer immensely.
“Fourth Great-Uncle, next we should set up the Teleportation Array, bringing mortals over and establishing the Celestial Phoenix Oasis under Ye Family leadership. The other four oases should be synchronized, whereas the smaller oases can gradually be assimilated!”
