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

In one of the Qingyang Society's bases, Liu Yao rode a Thunderflame Flood Dragon, which had reached the fourth level of the third rank, out of the secret realm.

With a joyful expression, he went straight to Protector Qin: "Master, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I found a pool of natural lightning-attribute spiritual liquid in the secret realm, which finally made up for the deficiencies of the Thunderflame Flood Dragon."

Protector Qin's expression was extremely grave: "A major incident has occurred in the Eastern Alliance!"

Liu Yao's smile faded: "How big?"

Qin Hu said dejectedly, "The Alliance has gained another potential ninth-tier Emperor Beastmaster."

Liu Yao's expression also darkened: "What do you mean? A noble family has an eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer who is about to advance to a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer?"

The Alliance and the Beastmaster Guild together have five ninth-tier Emperor Beastmasters, while the Four Religions and Three Associations only have one ninth-tier Emperor Beastmaster. This is already an extremely disparate gap.

If the Alliance officially gains another ninth-tier Emperor Beastmaster, the Four Religions and Three Associations will be in even more trouble.

Protector Qin said in a deep voice, "An official beast tamer of the Alliance has awakened an SSS-level second talent. Once an SSS-level talent is fully developed, the minimum level is a ninth-rank Emperor Beast Tamer."

Liu Yao was taken aback: "SSS-level talent? Isn't it said that only one appears on average every five hundred years? The last SSS-level talent seemed to have appeared only one hundred and fifty years ago."

Protector Qin shook his head: "On average, one appears every five hundred years, but that doesn't mean it's fixed at one every five hundred years. The last SSS-level talent appeared 150 years ago, and the SSS-level talent before that appeared more than 970 years ago. Do the math, how many years are in between? So it's quite normal for another SSS-level talent to appear now. It's just that the Ancestor, the three Guild Masters, the four Sect Leaders, and the Supreme Protector didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Liu Yao's heart tightened: "Doesn't this mean that our days in the Four Teaching Buildings and Three Associations will be even more difficult from now on?"

Protector Qin's expression was complicated: "That's indeed the case, and you also know this peerless genius with SSS-level talent."

Liu Yao instinctively retorted, "Me? How could I possibly know such an important person?"

Qin Hufa stared at Liu Yao with a fixed expression: "He is a direct descendant of the Shenlong Zhou family, Zhou Heng, the son of Zhou Ting, the deputy director of education at Xuanxiao Education Bureau. He was your classmate."

Liu Yao was struck as if by a thunderbolt: "What? Zhou Heng! How could he...?"

Protector Qin sighed, "You may not be able to accept it right now, but that's the truth. The Alliance has already issued a wide-ranging announcement, and Emperor Xuanchen has even taken Zhou Heng as his disciple. Now the entire Eastern Alliance knows about this news."

Liu Yao froze on the spot for a moment, then muttered to himself, "No wonder! No wonder he said he never took me seriously. It turns out that even without considering family background, he really did have the right to disregard me..."

Suddenly, an imposing figure descended from the sky.

Protector Qin quickly stepped forward: "Greetings, Vice President!"

Liu Yao also bowed in greeting.

The current vice president of the Qingyang Society is a peak seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, known as the Marquis of Linfeng.

Marquis Linfeng's voice was authoritative: "Little Qin, I've heard that your disciple has some connection with that newly emerged SSS-level prodigy in the Alliance?"

Protector Qin instinctively shielded Liu Yao behind him: "There is a connection between them; they were classmates once."

Marquis Linfeng's eyes sharpened: "Let's go! Come with me to see the guild leader."

President Qin felt a chill run down his spine: "See the president?"

Marquis Linfeng said quietly, "Zhou Heng, as an official of the Alliance, has awakened an SSS-level second talent, posing a great threat to our Four Sects and Three Associations. However, the Qingyang Association cannot afford to eliminate him by force, so we can only adopt a conciliatory approach, trying to tempt him, shake him, and corrupt him, so that he doesn't wholeheartedly work for the Alliance! Since your disciple was once his classmate, he must know his preferences..."

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the fourth day, the Ling family patriarch personally escorted Zhou Heng to Emperor Xuanchen's side.

Zhou Heng stepped forward: "Master."

Emperor Xuanchen's expression softened: "Today is the day you receive your tamed beast cub."

Zhou Heng was thrilled: "I can't wait any longer!"

"More than 970 years ago, when I followed my master to receive the young beast tamers, I felt almost the same way you did." Emperor Xuanchen's eyes were filled with reminiscence.

With a single step, he traversed countless miles, bringing Zhou Heng to a golden planet in the Eternal Order Holy Realm.

This planet is covered with golden crystals.

At the center of the planet is a green altar that is three meters high and ten meters in diameter.

There were no guards around the altar.

Emperor Xuanchen said to Zhou Heng, "This is the star field altar where one can pass through the Star Gate and reach the main body of the Primordial Ancient Tree."

Zhou Heng wondered, "Master, where exactly is the Primordial Ancient Tree? Even with the abilities of a ninth-tier Beast Tamer, is it impossible to easily reach the Primordial Ancient Tree? Is it only possible to see it by passing through the Star Domain Altar and crossing the Star Gate?"

Emperor Xuanchen explained, "The location of the Primordial Ancient Tree is not just a matter of distance; more importantly, it's because the Primordial Ancient Tree has sealed off that area of ​​the starry sky, making it inaccessible by ordinary means. The Star Domain Altar is essentially a secret entrance left by the Primordial Ancient Tree specifically for us humans."

Zhou Heng was increasingly puzzled: "Why would the Primordial Ancient Tree do this? There must be a deeper reason, right?"

Emperor Xuanchen casually replied, "Of course there are, but it's rather complicated to explain. Today, let's go and get the mythical-quality beast cubs first, and I'll explain the reasons to you slowly when we have time later."

Zhou Heng nodded obediently: "Yes, Master."

Then, Emperor Xuanchen led Zhou Heng to the Star Domain Altar. A flash of green light appeared, and the two arrived at a magical space filled with lush greenery.

Zhou Heng stared intently ahead and saw a majestic ancient green tree radiating a verdant glow that illuminated the boundless area.

The original form of the Primordial Tree was almost identical to the projection Zhou Heng had seen on the ancestral star, but it was much larger than the projection.

The trunk diameter is at least several million kilometers and the height exceeds tens of millions of kilometers. Even giant stars in the universe can only serve as embellishments among the branches of the Primordial Tree.

Zhou Heng surveyed his surroundings, his gaze lingering on the Primordial Ancient Tree for a long time before asking, "Master, how do I obtain a mythical-quality beast cub?"

Emperor Xuanchen said directly, "It's very simple. Just enter the interior of the Primordial Ancient Tree. I will escort you inside later."

Zhou Heng's eyes flickered: "I understand."

Emperor Xuanchen then asked, "According to the rules, everyone who comes here to receive a beast taming skill must understand the Starfire Contribution Beast Taming Inheritance System. Heng'er, do you know about the Starfire Contribution Beast Taming Inheritance System?"
