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

Zhou Heng's eldest senior brother, second senior sister, and third senior brother all possess SS-level talent. With sufficient resources, advancing to the eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer is not difficult, but advancing to the ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer is extremely challenging.

He only lived to be six hundred years old, which is the lifespan of an eighth-tier king-level beast tamer.

It is clear that none of the three successfully advanced to the ninth-tier Emperor Beastmaster.

As for Emperor Xuanchen's disciples, their abilities varied greatly, and probably not even one of them had advanced to the eighth-level Monarch Beast Tamer, let alone the rest.

Zhou Heng then asked, "Does Master have any grand-disciples?"

Emperor Xuanchen paused for a moment: "His disciples and grand-disciples are countless, but most of them are already dead."

Zhou Heng looked embarrassed: "Did I upset Master?"

Emperor Xuanchen patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder: "I'm not unhappy, but now that you're my disciple, there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

Zhou Heng raised his head: "Please enlighten me, Master."

Emperor Xuanchen said solemnly, "You will definitely be able to advance to the ninth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer in the future, and there is even hope of advancing to the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer. That is to say, you will live for at least a thousand years, and at most eighteen hundred years. During this long period of time, you will see the passing of many old friends, including your parents, relatives, disciples, descendants, friends, enemies... There are too many to count. You have to learn to adapt slowly."

Zhou Heng's mind was racing: "Master, I believe there's always a way out."

He'll definitely find a solution when he becomes stronger in the future.

Emperor Xuanchen nodded: "Indeed, you are too young. You are only nineteen years old. You have a long life ahead of you!"

Zhou Heng flattered, "Master is about to advance to the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer. Master's life is still very long!"

Emperor Xuanchen shook his head: "This is a different feeling! Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns."

Rongtu Wang tried to smooth things over, saying, "Master, today is the day our fifth junior brother just became a disciple. You're bringing up such a heavy topic. Our fifth junior brother is still a child; please don't frighten him."

Emperor Xuanchen seized the opportunity to back down: "It was my fault. I'm getting old and I tend to wallow in self-pity and reminisce about the past."

Zhou Heng quickly said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have asked those questions."

Emperor Xuanchen patted Zhou Heng's head: "Heng'er, you did nothing wrong. I am your master and you are your disciple. It is my responsibility to answer your questions and resolve your doubts. You did very well today. You should continue to do so in the future. Ask questions directly without any hesitation."

Zhou Heng said firmly in his heart, "Thank you, Master."

This master is even better than he imagined.

Emperor Xuanchen then said, "Since you have just become an apprentice, you should rest in the Eternal Order Sacred Realm for three days. After three days, I will take you to the depths of the starry sky to meet the true form of the Primordial Ancient Tree and form a contract with the Mythical Beast Tamer."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed: "I will do whatever Master says."

Subsequently, the Xuanwu, a 20,000-kilometer-long imperial decree, landed directly in the center of the giant continent, above the most magnificent city, obscuring the entire city.

All the seventh-tier feudal lords and beast tamers from the Xuanwu Ling family came forward to greet them.

Leading the group was the current patriarch of the Xuanwu Ling family.

Emperor Xuanchen said calmly, "You should have already received the news that I have gained another disciple. Go and arrange a place for Heng'er to stay."

"I will obey the ancestor's command." The Ling family patriarch quickly bowed.

Afterwards, Zhou Heng and the Ling family patriarch got to know each other. The Ling family patriarch immediately led Zhou Heng to fly southeast of the giant city where the direct descendants of the Ling family lived. Soon they arrived above the ten cities standing side by side.

Although these ten cities are not particularly large, the materials used to build them are far superior to those used to build the giant city where the direct descendants of the Ling family live; even a single brick is worth a fortune.

Most remarkably, each of the ten cities has a magnificent palace of a different color and style.

As Zhou Heng looked around, he saw that every palace was exceptionally magnificent, constructed entirely of rare spiritual materials and covered with eighth-order array patterns.

Even the Zhou family of Shenlong and the Li family of Jinwu are not this extravagant.

The Xuanwu Ling family truly deserves its reputation as the head of the four top aristocratic families.

Gazing at the ten palaces, the colorful-winged phoenix perched on Zhou Heng's left shoulder shone with its eyes, while the Eternal Night Demon Dragon perched on Zhou Heng's right shoulder drooled with desire, and the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon wrapped around Zhou Heng's wrist swayed its tail back and forth.

These three little guys also figured it out.

The Ling family patriarch said respectfully, "Young Ancestor, these are cities specially prepared by the Ancestor for his disciples. You may reside in one of these cities alone. Apart from the four cities in the middle, you may choose any one of the remaining six."

Zhou Heng knew that the four cities in the middle belonged to his four senior brothers and sisters. Although his eldest senior brother, second senior sister, and third senior brother had passed away, they still had to be left for them.

Since King Rongtu, his fourth senior brother, was still alive, it was even less likely that he would attempt to seize King Rongtu's city.

So he randomly chose a silver city, and in the center of the city was a silver palace.

The Ling family patriarch immediately took Zhou Hengfei down and moved into the silver palace.

The palace had hundreds of servants who were already assigned to him, and he could order them around at will.

There were many more servants outside the palace, but they were of too low a rank to enter the palace to serve. They all stayed in the city, and Zhou Heng could summon them at any time.

After making arrangements for Zhou Heng, the Ling family patriarch exchanged a few pleasantries with him before returning to report.

The colorful-winged phoenix pressed its head close to Zhou Heng's ear and whispered, "Father, this palace is so beautiful."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. We'll stay here for the next few days."

Fu Hai Yin Long echoed, "We'll do as Father says."

The Eternal Night Dragon perched on Zhou Heng's shoulder, opened its mouth, and pointed with its claws at its mouth full of sharp teeth, indicating that Zhou Heng should feed it: "Old Deng, I'm hungry."

Zhou Heng teased the Eternal Night Demon Dragon, saying, "You little glutton, all you do is eat."

The palm-sized Eternal Night Dragon jumped up and down on Zhou Heng's shoulder in anger: "Hmph! Old Deng!"

Zhou Heng smiled and immediately took out a pile of food, feeding it to the three beasts.

After the three beasts had eaten and drunk their fill, the Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix and the Overturning-Sea Silver Dragon stayed by Zhou Heng's side.

The Eternal Night Dragon, however, couldn't stay still. It ran around the palace, knocking over vases and overturning tables and chairs.

Zhou Heng had long known about the Eternal Night Dragon's personality and didn't care about it.

In his eyes, the Eternal Night Dragon was just a child.

One can only pamper one's own tamed beast.

Subsequently, the servants also brought Zhou Heng more than a hundred plates of delicious food.

Zhou Heng had experienced too many major events today, so he was quite tired. After eating the dinner brought by his servants, he played with Caiyi Qingfeng and Fuhai Yinlong for a while, and then he wanted to rest.

However, a servant came to report that the Marquis of Longyuan was requesting an audience.

Zhou Heng had met Marquis Longyuan before. When his grandparents and maternal grandparents were promoted to seventh-level feudal lord beast tamers, Marquis Longyuan represented the Xuanwu Ling family to attend the ceremony in the Canglan Plane. It was at this time that Zhou Heng met him.

However, Zhou Heng wasn't particularly famous at the time, so the two didn't have much interaction.
