After cheating, I became the strongest beast master.

Chapter 426 The Book of Eras
“Sapling. A new page.” Chen Xing looked at the stone book that had suddenly appeared, and a certain thought vaguely surfaced in his mind.

The previous three trees corresponded to the three career paths of pet nutritionist, pet groomer, and pet trainer, respectively.

The appearance of a new sapling now represents a new route.

Although it is not yet complete, just a seedling, it represents its unlimited potential.

This is a blank canvas for me to paint as I please.

"Spirit Fusion Technique"

Chen Xing murmured, "Could it be that the stone book means I should create a new path?"
But how difficult that is!

He thought of the skills on the three trees he had seen before, each one extremely magical, some even downright abnormal.

He relied on these skills to gradually take the lead and create miracles to get to where he is today.

Now, it's his turn to create miracles.

"Four Phases, tell me, since Spirit Masters and Spirit Masters can merge, can Spirit Masters merge with each other?" Chen Xing suddenly asked.

“Master, I’m actually researching this direction as well. Theoretically, it’s possible, but I’ve discovered some problems. The reason why the wielder and the spirit can merge is because they are connected by a contract, but there is no connection between the spirits.”

"So you mean that spirit summons cannot be fused together?"

“I think it’s possible.” Si Xiang’s voice paused for a moment. “When I was in the laboratory, I once heard a saying: ‘The seed of truth can only blossom in the soil of experimentation.’”

“Master, I believe it is possible. Aren’t we creating miracles right now?”

"Haha, you're right." Chen Xing sat lazily on the ground, his wings flapping slightly behind him unconsciously. "What should I do next? Should I start cultivating? This is interesting. I'm just a beast tamer, but I've become like a legendary cultivator who can absorb spiritual energy. Do you think I'll ruin the atmosphere of this world in the future?"

The Four Symbols' voice remained as gentle as ever, "No, future generations will praise you as the one who opened the way."

"That's not me, it's you. If it can be passed down, I will pass on your name, so that you will be remembered for eternity and perhaps even become the most dazzling person in this era."

The four phases within his sea of ​​consciousness fell silent. Chen Xing closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding spiritual energy. He sensed many colorful specks of light in the air. These were the spiritual energy in the air? Interesting.

He tried to communicate, and perhaps because the core of the Four Phases was too powerful, with just a thought, it was like a fully powered aircraft engine pulling a small tricycle, and the surrounding spiritual energy turned into a flood and storm that surged into his body.

Just like parched land receiving rain, although it was a little uncomfortable at first, it soon felt joy.

Deep within my consciousness, a faint voice drifted by, “Actually, I don’t care about fame. Just being able to spend even one more day with you is better than a thousand empty titles. I don’t want to be lonely and miss you after endless years.”

An hour later, Chen Xing opened his eyes.

"So powerful." Chen Xing praised from the bottom of his heart. He felt as if his body was like parched soil being nourished by rain, and now he felt like he had regained his complete self.

"Fourth Minister, you have found an extraordinary path."

“All living beings in the world possess essence, energy, and spirit, but those who control the spirit cannot cultivate themselves. They only have spirit but no energy, so they have a defect from the beginning. Now this defect has been remedied.”

Chen Xing clenched his fist. If his physical strength was previously formidable because he controlled his power like a normal person with exquisite skill, then now it was flawless, thus achieving perfect control.

The space in front of me rippled in the wind.

The surrounding scenery changed, like a painting that had lost its colors. Chen Xing was startled; he hadn't even noticed, considering he was currently in a state of fusion with the Four Elements Spirit.

But he quickly relaxed, because someone who could do this so easily wouldn't need to go through such a complicated process to harm him.

Looking around, there was a turbid river flowing in the distance, and he was in a house on the bank.

In the center of the courtyard are several circular pools.

An elderly man with a hunched back stood with his left hand behind his back and a gourd ladle in his right hand, staring intently at the nearest pool.

The pool was clear and cold, and completely empty.

"If the water is too clear, the trees won't grow," the old man said to himself, turning to Chen Xing and handing him the gourd ladle.

"Come and try."

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, then took the gourd ladle.

The moment he received it, Chen Xing noticed that what he saw had changed.

For example, many floating "particles" appeared in the originally clear pools, and in the center of each pool in the yard, a tree of different sizes and shapes appeared! The consistency of these pools also varied; some had wisps of white fluff floating in them, some were simply milky white, and others were dotted with white light spots.

In the center of the pool closest to me was a tiny seedling with only one leaf.

The moment Chen Xing saw the seedling's shape, his scalp tingled, because it was exactly the same as the newly grown seedling in his stone book, as if it had been carved from the same mold.

"If you don't fertilize, the tree won't grow big. The fertilizer is right there; you can fertilize it yourself," the old man said, pointing to the spot near Chen Xing's feet.

Chen Xing looked down and found that a wooden bucket had appeared at his feet, filled with a thick, almost solidified white "iceberg".

He bent down, scooped up a large ladleful with a gourd ladle, and poured it into the sink.

The thick white solid dissolved in the water, like white ink slowly spreading outwards.

The old man asked, "Is one ladleful enough?"

As if possessed, Chen Xing grabbed the wooden bucket and poured it directly into the pool!
The seemingly endless white solids cascaded down into the pool like a waterfall.

The old man laughed heartily at the sight, his white hair falling loose. "Greedy boy, haha, that's enough, that's enough. If you pour any more, the pond will be too fertile and pests will easily breed."

Chen Xing stopped and looked down. The pool water in front of him looked like milk. Just one whiff of it made him feel like he was about to fly away.

"Senior, where is this?" Chen Xing put down the bucket and glanced at the opening, noticing that the white iceberg inside had not decreased at all, as if it were endless.

"Didn't you guess it?" The old man smiled without saying a word. "You clever little rascal, don't pretend in front of me. Since the Book of Epochs has been given to you, it is a test for you. If you can plant this tree well, you will be the new 'tree planter'."

Chen Xing looked at the pool of water at his feet, which was so white it looked like it was dripping with oil. He felt it was too concentrated and had a bad feeling about it.
He wanted to say something more, but the surrounding scenery gradually faded away, and only the old man's voice remained in his ears.

"The Book of Epochs, the Tree of Epochs, it is both a book and a tree. How your tree grows depends on how you cultivate it. Keep it up, little one."
