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

The wise and insightful Ancestor said, "Heng'er, you can rest assured about this. We're not just bartering with one family; we're exchanging resources with many forces. Moreover, we're not exchanging everything we need; we also need to exchange some things we don't need as a smokescreen. This way, we can ensure that the family's core evolution ritual is kept secret to the greatest extent possible."

Ancestor Wanbao was quite proud: "More importantly, the family's core evolution ritual is actually constantly being updated and iterated. Both evolve the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon into the Soaring Cloud Emperor Dragon, but the evolution ritual a thousand years ago is definitely different from the current one, which makes it even more difficult to leak."

Zhou Heng nodded: "That puts my mind at ease."

After pondering for a moment, Ancestor Wanbao suddenly said, "Heng'er, we owe you a huge favor this time. Think about it carefully, 20,000 kinds of ninth-tier resources and 200 kinds of tenth-tier resources are enough to start a lower-level Chaos evolution ritual. It would be difficult to come up with even if we emptied the foundation of the Zhou and Li families, but the Supreme Alliance Leader directly gave us so many resources."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Didn't our ancestor teach me before that I shouldn't be afraid of owing favors?"

Ancestor Wanbao said awkwardly, "That's true, but sometimes it's hard to repay too many favors."

Linglong Ancestor said to Wanbao Ancestor, "Don't worry, we're just benefiting from Heng'er's success. Why should we need to repay any favors? When Heng'er advances to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer in the future, we'll just give the Xuanwu Ling family more support."

Zhou Heng immediately stated, "The Xuanwu Ling family produced a Supreme Being of the Sea thousands of years ago, and now they have produced my master. Their foundation is so profound that it is unimaginable to ordinary people. Even if I advance to become a tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer in the future, I probably won't need their support. However, even if the Xuanwu Ling family doesn't need my support, my master has been so good to me, so I will definitely repay the Xuanwu Ling family in the future."

Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong exchanged a smile: "Good child, we two old bones will follow your arrangements for the future."

Zhou Heng flattered, "You two ancestors are still young! You are only four hundred years old now. Once you advance to the ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer and have a lifespan of a thousand years, the Zhou and Li families will surely become more and more prosperous under your leadership."

Linglong Ancestor shook her head: "Under our leadership, it's good enough that the Zhou and Li families can maintain the status quo. The key is still up to you. Only under your leadership can the Zhou and Li families usher in a true revival."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Are the two patriarchs familiar with the Thousand-Faced King?"

Without hesitation, Ancestor Wanbao said, "What's wrong? As the fourth elder of the alliance, he's quite familiar with us."

Zhou Heng felt puzzled: "Why didn't Master show up for something as important as advancing to the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer?"

Ancestor Wanbao guessed, "The Thousand-Faced King is probably evolving his main beast, so he can't spare the time. He failed more than twenty times before, so the probability of success this time should be quite high. Once he succeeds, the Xuanwu Ling family will have another ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer in the future."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but say, "The two patriarchs should hurry up too."

Ancestor Wanbao explained, "We have actually been preparing all along. However, there are prerequisites for the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon to evolve into the Soaring Cloud Emperor Dragon, and the same applies to the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow evolving into the Heaven-Bearing Golden Crow. It's similar to when your initial beast evolves into the Colorful Winged Azure Phoenix, you need to absorb and refine enough Five Virtues Qi in advance. This is actually part of the evolution ritual."

As the young master of the Zhou family, the Divine Dragon Clan, Zhou Heng naturally knew about the evolution ritual of the Lingxiao Emperor Dragon: "I remember that if the Purple Cloud Divine Dragon wanted to evolve into the Lingxiao Emperor Dragon, it had to reward 100,000 kind-hearted dragon creatures with treasures and punish 100,000 evil dragon creatures with lightning. Under the witness of the will of the universe, it had to exercise the duties of the emperor among dragons and become a just arbiter before it could refine the high-level spiritual objects needed for evolution and start the evolution ritual."

Ancestor Wanbao nodded slightly: "You remember correctly, that's right. Over the years, I have led Lei Huang to almost complete the prerequisites."

Zhou Heng looked at Linglong Ancestor: "As for the prerequisites for the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow to become the Heaven-Bearing Golden Crow, I'm not too clear about them."

Linglong Ancestor didn't hide anything and said directly, "For the Sky-Patrolling Golden Crow to evolve into the Heaven-Bearing Golden Crow, it must travel to a desolate and dark star system and use gentle methods to transform ten thousand cold, dead stars into suns. Then, numerous living beings will benefit from this, thereby gaining the favor of the cosmic will and becoming qualified to bear the destiny of heaven. Only then can the evolution ritual be initiated. Like Wanbao, I am almost ready to complete the prerequisites. Mingguang has already transformed ten thousand ordinary planets into suns. We just need to wait for these beings who originally lived in the dark and cold star system to receive the benefits brought by the sun before we can begin the evolution ritual."

Mingguang is the name of the Golden Crow, the main beast of the Linglong Ancestor.

Zhou Heng instantly grasped the progress of the two: "Congratulations to the two ancestors, everything is ready, only the east wind is lacking. Now that we have the resources given by Master, the east wind has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong couldn't stop smiling.

Afterwards, Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong chatted with Zhou Heng for a while longer before leaving.

Zhou Heng returned to the inner palace with six shrunken beasts, sat on a soft couch, and prepared to rest for a while.

The Azure Phoenix with Colorful Wings flapped its five-colored wings and gently massaged Zhou Heng's shoulders with its claws: "Father accompanied you throughout the entire ceremony, and then you had to socialize with so many powerful figures at the banquet. Just now, you chatted with the two patriarchs for so long. Father must be exhausted, right?"

Zhou Heng said gently, "With you all here with me, I'm not tired at all."

The Eternal Night Dragon idly flicked its tail to the side: "Old Deng is a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer. Although his physique isn't as good as other beast tamers of the same tier, he shouldn't get tired so easily, right?"

The Star-Devouring Kunpeng retorted, "Tiredness isn't just physical; mental fatigue is also a kind of fatigue, and sometimes mental fatigue is even more tiring than physical fatigue."

Zhou Heng reached out and touched the golden head of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng: "Wuji makes a lot of sense."

The Titan Lord walked up behind Zhou Heng: "Dad, let me give you a massage."

Zhou Heng looked at its thick, powerful blue arms and waved his hand in refusal: "No need, your grip is too strong, let Jiu Xiao do it."

The Titan lord once again volunteered: "Father, let me use my words to make magic work for you!"

Zhou Heng didn't refuse: "Okay!"

The Titan Lord pointed at Zhou Heng and said, "Eliminate fatigue!"

Zhou Heng immediately felt light and no longer felt tired.

He smiled and said, "Emperor God, I underestimated the practical value of 'Words Become Law' before. Now I realize that it can be used not only in battle, but also in all aspects of life."

The Titan Lord smiled happily: "Thank you for the compliment, Dad."
