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

Without exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Li cut straight to the point, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "Steward Huang, are the two special envoys and the young alliance leader here?"

Butler Huang hurriedly replied, "Master, Madam, and Young Master are currently resting with Lord Tianyin and Lord Qianren in the newly opened Thousand Sound Blessed Land."

As he spoke, he turned to the side and raised his hand, drawing the three people's gaze to the sky above the manor.

A golden portal, shimmering with light, now floated in the once empty sky.

The golden portal is made of pure energy, surrounded by mysterious runes, from which pure cosmic energy faintly emanates.

The Li family's villa is very close to the Zhou family's manor. They could clearly see the earth-shaking energy fluctuations and the extraordinary phenomenon of the newly formed blessed land last night.

Father Li gazed at the auspicious gate hanging high for a while, his expression growing increasingly solemn: "Steward Huang, could you please go and inform them?"

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Li, I'll be right there." The butler, Old Huang, had an orange glow emanating from between his eyebrows, representing an E-level talent.

A high-ranking silver-quality Tier 3 Flowing Cloud Sparrow appeared beside him.

The lark is pale yellow all over and has a wingspan of only about 20 meters.

Butler Huang flipped over and mounted the Flowing Cloud Sparrow. The Flowing Cloud Sparrow let out a clear cry, flapped its wings and took off, transforming into a yellow streak of light, flying straight into the blessed land gate that was suspended in the air.

As the manor steward of Zhou's parents' estate on Xuanxiao Star, Lao Huang is also a third-tier elite beast tamer.

Li's father, Li's mother, and Li Lang looked up at the figure of the steward, Old Huang, disappearing into the golden halo of the blessed land's gate, their expressions varying.

Li's mother's eyes were filled with pure expectation, while Li's father's brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something.

After a moment of silence, Li's father turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked at his son, Li Lang, and said in a deep voice, "Lang, have you remembered what I told you before I came here?"

Li Lang withdrew his gaze from the gate of the blessed land, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and replied, "Father, I remember. I will be careful with my words and actions when I see the young alliance leader."

Li's father lowered his voice, his tone leaving no room for argument: "I'll say it again, you must be respectful in front of the young alliance leader."

His expression was extremely serious: "Xiao Lang, I know this doesn't sound good, but you need to face reality! Before, our young leader only had S-rank talent, which was stronger than your A-rank, but not by a hair's breadth, so you could barely be friends. But now, he's become a disciple of the Alliance's strongest figure, Emperor Xuan Chen, and has awakened an SSS-rank talent that only appears once every few hundred years in the entire universe! You're worlds apart now, not even from the same world anymore. You must let go of all unrealistic fantasies, understand?"

Li Lang seemed to want to explain, but his voice was weak: "I don't think the young alliance leader would...would he...do something like this..."

"Can't do what?"

Father Li interrupted him, his tone laced with warning: "They won't look down on you? Or they won't distance themselves from you? Remember your place! Perhaps you two did have some past acquaintance, but that was nothing more than childish play. Now, times have changed! The more the young leader cherishes the past and treats you kindly, the more you must remain respectful and deferential! You must not overstep your bounds in the slightest, lest people think you're taking advantage of their favor and becoming arrogant! That little bit of friendship from your school days can't withstand being worn down!"

Li Lang's shoulders slumped, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Father's reprimand is correct, I understand."

Seeing this, Li's mother gently tugged at her husband's sleeve and softly advised, "Alright, Lao Li, the child is almost twenty years old. He understands these things, so please say less!"

Father Li sighed, his gaze still fixed on Li Lang: "It's precisely because the young alliance leader and he are almost twenty years old that I need to make these things clear to him..."

In the sky, the gate to the Thousand Sounds Blessed Land floated silently, shimmering with light, as if separating two worlds.

Li Lang stood behind his father, head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Within the Blessed Land of a Thousand Sounds, the scenery is magnificent and extraordinary, a veritable condensation of the vast landscapes of the outside world.

According to Zhou Heng's wishes, the blessed land was clearly divided into different areas.

Zhou Heng stood atop a towering mountain, his gaze gently fixed on his four tamed beasts.

Above the sky, the 80,000-meter-tall Devouring Star Kunpeng maintained its divine Kun form, its massive body resembling floating land, leisurely wandering among the ethereal clouds.

Every slight sway of the Kunpeng's tail caused fluctuations in the surrounding space, carrying a mysterious rhythm.

The colorful phoenix wings, measuring 180 meters in size and shimmering with five-colored light, were merrily circling and weaving around the boundless body of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

Despite their vastly different sizes, resembling a giant whale and a flying bird, they unexpectedly appear affectionate.

The Colorful-Winged Azure Phoenix is ​​the most obedient of Zhou Heng's tamed beasts; it can be called a well-behaved baby.

The Devouring Star Kunpeng is also particularly sensible in its Divine Kun form, which is why the two can play together despite their size difference.

"Clang!" "Buzz~"

The colorful-winged phoenix occasionally let out a clear and powerful cry, while the star-devouring kunpeng responded with a deep and long hum, as if they were singing a ballad together.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, the phoenix and the kun already had a perfect understanding.

Perhaps, besides their similar personalities, the Devouring Star Kunpeng still retains the bloodline of the Heavenly Peng in its gentle divine Kun form, thus having a natural affinity with the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix.

However, once it truly transforms into its Heavenly Roc form, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng will display the ruthlessness and majesty of an invincible ferocious bird.

Apart from Zhou Heng, no other living being could get close to him.

Zhou Heng's gaze shifted downwards, and at the foot of the mountain lay a lake that resembled a sapphire inlaid with gemstones. A 190-meter-long silver dragon was frolicking freely, its bright silver scales reflecting a mesmerizing brilliance under the artificial miniature starlight of this blessed land.

Sometimes it would peek its long head and neck out of the water, stirring up the vast expanse of blue waves; other times it would flick its tail and plunge into the lake bottom, leaving only ripples spreading across the surface, having a great time.

Further away, among the mountains, a shadowy figure darted back and forth at an astonishing speed. The 170-meter-long Eternal Night Dragon, like a top-notch hunter, used the shadows of the mountains and the complex terrain to hunt down the various low-level extraordinary creatures naturally bred in the blessed land.

It has a huge appetite and likes to eat fresh food; all the extraordinary creatures it catches become its food.

Although this blessed land of a thousand sounds has been established for less than a day, it appears full of vitality.

Creating a blessed land is essentially about shaping a small world from nothingness, using the primordial energy of the universe, much like creating the heavens and the earth, which naturally gives rise to many basic living beings.

These low-level extraordinary beings were a gift from the beginning of the world.

Zhou Heng quietly admired the painting before him, in which the four tamed beasts each found their proper place and seemed content, and felt a rare sense of peace and comfort in his heart.

Just then, a figure riding a Flowing Cloud Sparrow rapidly approached Zhou Heng.

Butler Huang landed not far from Zhou Heng and respectfully reported, "Young Master, Boss Li and Madam Li have come to Qianyin Paradise as guests. The Master and Madam asked me to invite you over to meet them."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng's face immediately lit up with a genuine smile, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Has Li Lang arrived?"

Butler Huang replied, "Young Master Li has arrived as well."
