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

Zhou Heng immediately said, "I know. This system was created by Wuyou, the first tenth-level supreme beast tamer in history, so that talented beast tamers could have a high-quality beast cub."

Emperor Xuanchen nodded: "That's right. Supreme Wuyou set an example by collecting nine mythical-quality beast cubs during his 1,800-year lifespan, and contributed them all. His successors, Ancestor Dinghai and Supreme Miaoyi, also upheld the system he established. Ancestor Dinghai contributed three mythical-quality beast cubs in his lifetime, and Supreme Miaoyi contributed three as well. Mythical-quality beast cubs are extremely precious, so to ensure fairness, all of these beast cubs were sealed away and stored here at the Primordial Ancient Tree, where they are kept in safekeeping."

Zhou Heng did some calculations: "The three Supreme Beings have collected a total of fifteen Mythical-quality Beast Taming Cubs. In the history of the Alliance, apart from me, there have been twelve SSS-level peerless geniuses. It seems that there are only three Mythical-quality Beast Taming Cubs left here."

Emperor Xuanchen shook his head: "That's not the case. In the history of the alliance, among the twelve geniuses with SSS-level talents besides you, Supreme Wuyou, Supreme Miaoyi, and three others did not consume the public reserves of mythical beast cubs. Ancestor Dinghai and six others, including myself, consumed seven, so there are still eight left in total, and the reserves are still quite sufficient."

Zhou Heng was completely baffled: "The Supreme Worry-Free established this rule after becoming a Supreme, so it's understandable that he himself didn't enjoy the benefits of this rule. But why didn't the Supreme Wonderful Maiden and the other three people with SSS talents enjoy these benefits?"

Emperor Xuanchen explained, "Emperor Shuguang is the master of Supreme Wuyou and also possesses SSS-level talent, but he was born earlier than Supreme Wuyou, so he did not enjoy this benefit. As for Supreme Miaoyi and the other two individuals with SSS-level talent, they come from the Four Religions and Three Societies, so naturally they would not come to the Alliance's official website to receive mythical-quality beast cubs."

Zhou Heng was even more puzzled: "Supreme Miaoyi is clearly a member of the Yan family of the Fire Phoenix Sect, so how did she become a member of the Four Religions and Three Assemblies? Wasn't it said that the Four Religions and Three Assemblies had never produced a tenth-tier supreme beast tamer in history?"

Emperor Xuanchen explained the whole story to Zhou Heng: "Supreme Miaoyi was originally the leader of the Heavenly Principle Sect, but 1,900 years ago, she fell in love with Emperor Yangyin of the Fire Phoenix Yan family, which led her to reform and eventually achieve the position of Supreme. Therefore, she is not the Supreme of the Four Sects and Three Assemblies, but nominally belongs to the Supreme of the Beast Tamer Guild. In reality, due to her special life experience, Supreme Miaoyi is very neutral."

Zhou Heng immediately understood: "I see. Since there are still eight beasts left, it seems I have a lot of options."

Emperor Xuanchen continued, "According to the rules set by Supreme Wuyou, for the sake of fairness, every SSS-level talent Beast Tamer can only randomly obtain a mythical-quality Beast Cub under the arrangement of Senior Taishi Ancient Tree, and cannot choose for themselves."

Zhou Heng frowned deeply: "Why?"

Emperor Xuanchen patiently comforted Zhou Heng: "Heng'er, you must understand that there are differences even among mythical-quality beast tamers. The gap between lower-tier, mid-tier, and upper-tier mythical beasts is like an insurmountable chasm. Upper-tier mythical beasts are particularly unique. Below the upper-tier mythical level, the upper limit for beast tamers is only eighth rank, but for upper-tier mythical beast tamers, the upper limit becomes ninth rank. Therefore, only by cultivating a beast to upper-tier mythical quality can one qualify to advance to the ninth rank of Emperor Beast Tamer. If every SSS-level talent awakener could choose their own beast cub, later awakeners would be at a greater disadvantage. Because those at the top would definitely have taken all the best beast cubs, leaving only lower-tier mythical quality ones, which doesn't align with the philosophy of the Worry-Free Supreme."

Zhou Heng suddenly realized: "I understand."

He fully understood the rules set by Supreme Worry-Free: "In fact, Supreme Worry-Free considered things quite comprehensively. Randomly selecting the young beast is indeed fairer. Anyway, you can get a beast of lower-level mythical quality no matter what, and you can raise it all the way to the eighth rank. Once you reach that level, you can find a way to start the evolution ritual."

"It's good that you can figure this out." Emperor Xuanchen showed an expression of being able to teach a child.

His expression immediately turned solemn, and he bowed to the ancient tree in the distance: "Senior Ancient Tree, another peerless genius with SSS-level talent has appeared in the Eastern Alliance. I brought him here to receive the beast cub."

A green bridge of light stretched from the canopy of the Primordial Tree to Zhou Heng's feet, and Zhou Heng stepped onto it with the encouraging gaze of Emperor Xuan Chen.

Then the light bridge instantly contracted, and Zhou Heng entered the canopy of the Primordial Ancient Tree.

Each branch of the Primordial Tree is tens of thousands of kilometers thick, like a continent. Zhou Heng stood on it, surrounded by endless giant leaves, with no end in sight.

Just as Zhou Heng was looking around at the Primordial Tree, the Primordial Tree was also using its spiritual power to examine Zhou Heng.

It sensed a blue diamond that Zhou Heng had placed in the corner of the storage watch.

It was sent to a star system inhabited by humans some time ago, in order to find a beast tamer with immense potential for its former companion.

The Primordial Tree cast a blessing upon this blue diamond, ensuring that it would be found by the most promising Beastmaster.

Therefore, Zhou Heng is the beast tamer with the highest potential in the universe.

Zhou Heng will also form a contract with the former partners of the Primordial Ancient Tree in the future.

To the ancient tree of the Great Beginning, Zhou Heng was one of their own.

Thinking of this, it silently put away a red crystal that contained a mid-level mythical beast cub, and then took out a purple crystal that contained a high-level mythical beast cub from deep within the tree canopy.

Zhou Heng was unaware of the Ancient Tree's thoughts. He stood there and turned around, gazing at the green world before him, unsure of what to do.

Just as he was about to call upon the Primordial Tree, a purple crystal, 20,000 meters tall, suddenly descended from the sky and appeared before him.

Looking at the purple crystal, Zhou Hengding saw that it was enormous, like a giant mountain, and he appeared extremely small in front of it.

The ancient voice of the Primordial Tree resounded: "Child, this is your tamed beast cub. Take it with you and leave!"

Zhou Heng's eyes widened: "Senior Primordial Ancient Tree, are you saying that this giant mountain is a sealed substance, and that a mythical-quality beast cub is sealed inside?"

The ancient tree's voice drifted faintly: "That's right."

Zhou Heng was somewhat surprised to hear this, but after thinking about it, he understood.

After all, it was a beast cub born with mythical qualities, so it's normal for it to have some extraordinary characteristics.
