Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Li Lang had no concept of their ancestral star: "How far are we from our ancestral star right now?"

Zhou Heng replied, "Yuanli Ancient Star is the closest core planet of Dongxie to Water Blue Star, but it is still more than 20 light-years away, close to 21 light-years, which is about 200 trillion kilometers."

One light-year is approximately 9.5 trillion kilometers.

Li Lang stared in disbelief: "Is it that far?"

"It is precisely because Yuanli Ancient Star is extremely far from our ancestral star that I am needed to lead you on an interstellar journey," Zhongding Qiuniu's deep voice rang out.

It opened its eyes again and urged everyone, "Little ones, hurry up and say goodbye! We need to set off immediately."

All of Zhou's father, mother, Zhou Heng, and Li Lang's personal belongings were stored in a treasure storage container, so there was no need to prepare anything else.

However, they still said goodbye to Zhou Heng's grandparents.

Then, the bell and tripod, Qiuniu, slowly rose up, its 90,000-meter-long body stretching out, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The 30,000-meter-long, seven-colored zither flew up and down continuously with the movements of the bell, tripod, and ox, eventually shrinking to a size of 100 meters and flying into the left ear of the bell, tripod, and ox.

This is a treasure artifact specially crafted by the Zhou family for Zhongding Qiuniu. Even beast tamers can use it, and its power is extraordinary.

Zhong Ding Qiuniu said kindly, "Little ones, come on up!"

An invisible force field emanated from Zhongding Qiuniu, and Zhou Heng, Li Lang, and their parents all flew up and landed steadily on Zhongding Qiuniu's broad back.

Zhou's father waved his hand and took out a palm-sized purple palace. He tossed it forward, and the purple palace immediately expanded to a hundred meters in size, placing it on the back of Zhongding Qiuniu.

This is clearly a treasure specifically designed for long-distance travel.

Zhou's parents immediately led Zhou Heng and Li Lang into the purple palace.

The palace was fully equipped, and a huge mirror was suspended in the center, allowing Zhou Heng and the others to see the outside world.

Then Zhou's mother took out a silver compass, which, with the infusion of energy, immediately transformed into a three-dimensional star map composed of countless points of light.

Each point of light represents a planet.

By focusing your mental energy on the point of light, you can see the names and brief descriptions of each planet.

"hold head high!"

With a long, earth-shaking roar, the bell and cauldron, Qiuniu, directly opened up a golden spatial tunnel spanning billions of kilometers.

Under the watchful eyes of the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch, the bell-shaped cauldron and the ox flew directly inside.

In the next instant, Zhong Ding Qiuniu appeared with Zhou Heng and the others a hundred billion kilometers away.

Looking at the vast starry sky outside through the mirror, Zhou Heng and Li Lang were extremely excited.

Li Lang's face was filled with anticipation: "Is this the power of a seventh-tier beast tamer?"

Zhong Ding Qiuniu's hearty laughter echoed in their ears: "Little ones, the real interstellar travel has only just begun."

Afterwards, Zhongding Qiuniu opened up space tunnels multiple times, carrying the four people into the vast universe, heading towards the blue planet twenty light-years away.

After traversing fifty spatial tunnels, Zhongding Qiuniu had brought everyone to the starry sky 500 billion kilometers away from Yuandu.

And this happened in less than a minute.

Each time the bell and tripod Qiuniu open and pass through a space tunnel, it only takes about one second.

Fifty times only took fifty seconds.

In fact, if Zhongding Qiuniu had never stopped, it would have been able to cross a distance of two hundred trillion kilometers in about ten hours, traveling from Yuandu to Water Blue Star.

Zhong Ding Qiuniu suddenly stopped: "Little ones, there is a level two planet not far ahead. The guardian beast on this level two planet is my friend. I will stay on this level two planet for a day."

Father Zhou quickly replied, "Absolutely no problem, Ancestor Xiyin. Although we are going to travel to the ancestral star, we cannot ignore the scenery along the way. Even if you don't mention it, we will stop at some special second-level and third-level planets, or even insignificant planets, when we encounter them."

Zhou Heng asked, "Ancestor Xiyin, is your friend also a seventh-tier Beast Tamer?"

Zhong Ding Qiuniu nodded: "That's right, he is the guardian beast of that level two planet."

According to the alliance's regulations, each secondary planet must have a seventh-tier beast guardian to ensure the planet's safety.

Li Lang looked expectant: "It seems we're about to meet another seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer."

Zhongding Qiuniu's words carried a hint of melancholy: "My friend's contracted partner has long since passed away. This person was from the same era as my contracted partner, and you will never see him again."

Li Lang was surprised: "You mean, there are only seventh-tier beast tamers on the level two planets, and no seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers?"

Zhongding Qiuniu was completely unpretentious: "Yes, the guardian beasts on the secondary planets are all selected from our aristocratic families. Beastmasters whose contracted partners have passed away and whose level has reached the seventh rank usually take turns serving as guardian beasts on various secondary planets. Decades ago, I also served as a guardian beast on a secondary planet."

Li Lang asked in confusion, "Why not just send seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers to be stationed on a level-two planet?"

Father Zhou explained, "Within the Eastern Alliance, including the people from the Four Religions and Three Societies, there are only a little over a thousand seventh-tier Lord Beast Tamers. There are over six hundred second-tier planets, which seems enough, but in reality, it's far from sufficient. Each of the thirty-six first-tier planets needs at least four seventh-tier Lord Beast Tamers, and the ten Beast Taming Universities also require a certain number of seventh-tier Lord Beast Tamers as professors. In addition, many seventh-tier Lord Beast Tamers are unwilling to go to the various second-tier planets, so the Eastern Alliance can't force them."

Li Lang listened attentively, occasionally glancing thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng chimed in, "Unfortunately, each planet must have at least one seventh-tier combatant; otherwise, the safety of ordinary people cannot be guaranteed if the Ten Great Evil Races descend from beyond the realm. Fortunately, the lifespan of beast tamers is longer than that of beast tamers, so the natural death of a beast tamer does not affect the beast tamer. Therefore, the number of seventh-tier beast tamers that have survived from ancient times to the present far exceeds the number of living seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers, so the guardian beasts on secondary planets can only be seventh-tier beast tamers."

Li Lang then asked, "What are the strengths of the guardians, deputy guardians, and branch leaders of the Beast Tamer Guild on a level-two planet?"

Zhou Heng replied, "They are all sixth-tier Commander Beastmasters."

Li Lang began to extrapolate from this: "What's so special about seventh-tier combat power? Why does every planet need a seventh-tier combat power to guard it?"

Zhou Heng was very patient: "Because once you reach the seventh rank and can open space tunnels, the defensive formations on the major cities will become ineffective. Only those with equal seventh-rank combat power can deal with the seventh-rank experts of the ten great evil races."
