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

Zhou Heng directly accepted the blue inheritance crystal into his pocket: "Thank you for your generous gift, senior. Since it concerns the subsequent evolution of my contracted partner, I won't stand on ceremony."

The Cangwu Emperor smiled kindly: "We are all friends, so please don't stand on ceremony with me."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Senior, since your Fire Phoenix Yan family has always possessed the complete evolution ritual for Titan Lords to evolve into Titan Saint Kings, how come after all these years, I've never seen anyone from your Fire Phoenix Yan family form a contract with a Titan Lord or a Titan Saint King?"

Emperor Cangwu looked regretful: "Our ancestor Miaoyi only left behind the complete ritual for evolving a Titan Lord into a Titan Saint King, but she left no information on how to evolve a low-quality beast into a Titan Lord. This inheritance can only be effective if someone in the family can directly form a contract with a Titan Lord. Unfortunately, over the years, apart from you, not only us, but even the Heavenly Principle Sect has not been able to form a contract with a Titan Lord, so this inheritance crystal has just been sitting in the treasury collecting dust."

Lei Xiaowang of the Qilin Yun family remarked meaningfully, "It seems that this inheritance crystal was specially prepared for the young alliance leader."

Emperor Cangwu remained unfazed: "The young alliance leader is a person of great fortune, naturally blessed by heaven. Everything is the best arrangement."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Senior, your family's Venerable Miaoyi came from the Heavenly Principles Sect. Although she later left the Heavenly Principles Sect, she should still have feelings for it. I wonder why she didn't hand over this inheritance crystal to the Heavenly Principles Sect."

Emperor Cangwu sighed softly, "It's hard to say. Rather than saying that Ancestor Miaoyi married into the Fire Phoenix Yan family, it would be more accurate to say that she helped the Fire Phoenix Yan family because of Ancestor Yangyin. As for our Fire Phoenix Yan family, Ancestor Miaoyi's feelings were essentially just a matter of 'love me, love my dog.' I don't know much about her relationship with the Heavenly Principles Sect either."

The ancestor Yangyin he mentioned was a ninth-tier imperial beast tamer from the Yan family of Fire Phoenix who had passed away in history. He was known as Emperor Yangyin and was in a romantic relationship with Supreme Miaoyi.

The reason why the Supreme Miaoyi betrayed the Heavenly Principles Sect was closely related to Emperor Yangyin.

Zhou Heng was filled with curiosity: "I wonder what kind of extraordinary man Emperor Yangyin is that could attract such a peerless figure as Supreme Miaoyi to abandon her position as sect leader and join the Fire Phoenix Yan family?"

Emperor Cangwu picked up his wine cup and touched it to his lips: "Love is irrational. It can only be said that Ancestor Miaoyi and Ancestor Yangyin were a rare true love, which is why they were able to overcome the prejudice of opposing camps and come together."

Zhou Heng sighed, "It's all thanks to the fact that one of them is a ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer and the other is a tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer, who were able to block out all the malice from the outside world. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a legendary tale that has been passed down for so many years."

King Lei Xiao of the Qilin Yun family wholeheartedly agreed: "Young Alliance Leader, you've hit the nail on the head."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhou Heng took his leave.

Emperor Cangwu had Lei Xiaowang personally escort Zhou Heng to his father, mother, and others. Zhou Heng exchanged a few more pleasantries with Lei Xiaowang before leading his parents back to Hanyue Cave.

After sending his parents back to their residence, Zhou Heng quickly led his six tamed beasts to his breeding base and carefully examined the complete evolution ritual for evolving a Titan Lord into a Titan Saint King, as recorded in the inheritance crystal.

He took out the inheritance crystal that had previously summarized the incomplete evolution ritual, compared the two, and found that the contents of the inheritance crystal with the complete evolution ritual that Emperor Cangwu had given him were completely consistent.

The Titan Lord asked impatiently, "Dad, how is it? Is the inheritance crystal that Emperor Cangwu gave you real?"

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "It should be true. I compared it with the incomplete evolution ritual I obtained from the Jianmu Feng family and Qingyang Society before, and it matches."

The Titan Lord was overjoyed: "Great! My future evolution is now secured."

Zhou Heng casually put away the inheritance crystal: "This is indeed a good thing. Although I could forcibly improve your quality even without the evolution ritual, it's better to have one."

The Lucky Qilin King said somewhat naively, "The Cangwu Emperor of the Fire Phoenix Yan family is quite a nice person. With such a close friend despite the age difference, Father has gained another powerful backer."

Zhou Heng's eyes were deep: "The hustle and bustle of this world is nothing more than coming for profit and leaving for profit. The Cangwu Emperor has repeatedly shown me goodwill, essentially because I have enough value. So-called friendships across generations shouldn't be taken seriously, but it does make things easier for me in some ways."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng approached Zhou Heng and said, "Although the Cangwu Emperor isn't as genuinely devoted to Father as his two ancestors and his master, sometimes sincerity isn't important. Just an outward attitude is enough. If handled properly, he can bring Father even more benefits in the future."

Zhou Heng raised his hand and rubbed the head of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng: "Wuji sees things very clearly. The Cangwu Emperor's attitude is indeed commendable. He not only gave me such a generous gift, but also took the initiative to address me as a friend. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will naturally repay the Fire Phoenix Yan family."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Heng returned to the Canglan and Yanyang planes and told Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong that they no longer needed to search for the evolution ritual for Titan Lords to evolve into Titan Saint Kings, as he already had the complete evolution ritual.

After learning the whole story, Ancestor Wanbao praised Zhou Heng highly: "Being able to obtain the key inheritance crystal from Emperor Cangwu shows that your abilities have improved."

Linglong Ancestor also praised Zhou Heng highly: "Although Emperor Cangwu is relatively weak among the ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamers, that's only because he's relatively young. In addition, the Yan family of Fire Phoenix can theoretically be considered to have produced a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer, so their foundation is actually deeper than the Meng family of Qiongqi and the Huo family of Mingdie. It's truly remarkable that Emperor Cangwu took the initiative to give you the inheritance crystal. After all, we didn't even know that he had the subsequent evolution ritual for Titan Lords to evolve into Titan Saint Kings."

Zhou Heng said modestly, "The two ancestors flatter me. It is essentially because of my master. If my master had not advanced to the tenth-level supreme beast tamer, even if I have extraordinary talent, the Yan family of Fire Phoenix would not have shown me such goodwill."

Ancestor Wanbao shook his head: "If it were solely because of the Supreme Alliance Leader, the Fire Phoenix Yan family should have given you the Inheritance Crystal when the Supreme Alliance Leader had just advanced to the tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer. But the fact that they only gave it to you now is probably because the Fire Phoenix Yan family carefully considered the pros and cons and decided that giving you the Inheritance Crystal would be more beneficial, so they entrusted it to you."
