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

Three days later, Zhou Heng arrived at the sea area he had previously selected with five tamed beasts.

Zhou Heng's important relatives and some of the more powerful members of the Zhou family had been waiting there for a long time.

When they saw Zhou Heng coming, they immediately went to greet him.

Zhou Heng exchanged pleasantries with them.

Since Zhou Heng was going to initiate the evolution ritual for the three Azure Phoenixes today, they didn't chat with him for too long. After saying hello, they tactfully retreated to a distance of thousands of kilometers from Zhou Heng to avoid disturbing him.

Even the Netherworld Demon Dragon, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, the Titan Lord, and the Fortune Qilin King retreated to the side, leaving only the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix still by Zhou Heng's side.

As for the Returning Void Divine Dragon, it is currently refining the energy of the Dragon Emperor Lychee Fruit in Zhou Heng's Beast Taming Space.

In mid-air, Zhou Heng stood suspended in mid-air, his silver cloak billowing in the wind, and three shrunken azure phoenixes perched on his arms.

Zhou Heng raised his arm and gently scratched the chin of the three-headed Azure Phoenix with his other hand: "Jiuxiao, I can sense that you are a little nervous."

The three-headed Azure Phoenix lowered its head and rubbed against Zhou Heng's wrist: "I am indeed a little nervous, but I am mostly excited. Soon I will be able to become a mythical-quality beast. Just thinking about being able to better help my father in the future makes me incredibly happy."

Zhou Heng's voice grew gentler: "Slowing down your emotions is more conducive to evolution."

The three blue phoenixes nodded slightly: "Thank you for reminding me, Dad."

Zhou Heng stepped into the void, closed his eyes, and stood silently with the three-headed Azure Phoenix in the sky for more than an hour, both of them adjusting their state to the best.

Then, Zhou Heng and the three-headed Azure Phoenix opened their eyes at the same time, and the space around them seemed to freeze for a moment, as the sea breeze suddenly stopped.

"Clang~"

The three azure phoenixes rose from Zhou Heng's arm, swirling and soaring, stirring up countless clouds, and instantly transformed into a cyan phoenix with a wingspan of 2,400 meters, hovering high in the sky.

Five-colored flames—black, red, white, blue, and yellow—spread from the three-headed azure phoenix, transforming from mere sparks into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out a cyan storage ring. He probed it with his spiritual power and, following the procedure of the evolution ritual, took out a large number of eighth-order spiritual items in a very orderly manner. He threw them into the sea of ​​fire one after another, causing the sea of ​​fire to surge continuously, its power becoming even greater, and it continued to expand, forming a five-colored fire domain.

In the blink of an eye, the five-colored fire domain covered an area with a diameter of several thousand kilometers.

Looking around, Zhou Heng and the three-headed Azure Phoenix seemed to be in a world formed by five-colored flames: black, red, white, blue, and yellow.

Zhou Heng's family and the other four beasts all retreated further away to avoid being affected by the fire domain.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Heng threw all nine hundred-plus eighth-tier spiritual items into the Five-Colored Fire Domain. Part of the energy of these spiritual items became nourishment for the Five-Colored Fire Domain, while the other part was transformed into pure energy that was injected into the body of the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix. This caused the bloodline of the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix to be continuously refined and purified, and to slowly advance towards the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix on the original basis.

This power was extremely domineering. Fortunately, although the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix was not of mythical quality, it was still a pure-blooded phoenix. Therefore, this power did not directly tear the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix's body apart. It only made the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix temporarily unable to do anything else and could only focus on refining this power so as not to lose control.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng took out another thirty-odd ninth-tier spiritual items and threw them into the Five-Colored Fire Domain as well.

Instantly, the five-colored flames in the sky rose even higher and expanded their range, covering an area with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers.

These flames possess terrifyingly high temperatures, constantly evaporating the seawater below and turning it into thick white mist.

As time went by, more than thirty ninth-tier spiritual items were continuously smelted and refined, so that the fire domain centered on the three-headed azure phoenix no longer only had clearly defined five-colored flames, but also more colorful flames appeared.

Besides black, red, white, blue, and yellow, it has all kinds of mixed colors, encompassing everything and accommodating everything.

Black, red, white, blue, and yellow represent the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, while the other colors of flame represent various different powers.

The color of the flames within the Fire Domain perfectly reflects the situation within the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix's body. With the power of the Five Virtues as the primary force and the various other rules as secondary forces, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix is ​​provided with the power to leap to a higher level.

The most crucial step for the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix to evolve into the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix is ​​to refine the energy of all the spiritual objects and generate a wisp of primordial Emperor Flame from within its body, using this primordial Emperor Flame to command all the fires in the world.

Since the three-headed Azure Phoenix has already shown signs of autonomous evolution, the step of condensing the Origin Emperor Flame is very simple for it.

Through the Beast Taming Contract, Zhou Heng could clearly sense that within the heart of the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, an extremely domineering azure flame was rapidly condensing into shape.

Although the azure flame was azure in color, it changed into various colors with each heartbeat of the three-headed azure phoenix, as if it possessed infinite colors.

A look of joy appeared on Zhou Heng's face. Sure enough, after signs of autonomous evolution appeared, the evolution of the beast was always foolproof.

On the other side, the Zhou family's high-ranking members, who had already retreated more than 200,000 kilometers, stared intently at Zhou Heng and the three-headed Qingfeng, not daring to blink.

Although they all knew that Zhou Heng was bound to succeed this time, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix was ultimately evolving towards mythical quality, so they dared not let their guard down.

Moreover, putting everything else aside, just being able to witness Zhou Heng evolve the beasts of a high-ranking overlord to the quality of a lower-ranking mythical beast is beneficial to them.

Because among these people, the highest quality of their tamed beasts is only that of a superior overlord, and many of them only have diamond-quality tamed beasts.

In the entire Zhou family, there are only two beast tamers who possess mythical beasts: one is Ancestor Wanbao, and the other is Zhou Heng.

The eldest uncle stood to the side and behind the crowd, gazing at Zhou Heng amidst the five-colored flames, and couldn't help but ask, "How long does it typically take for a Three-Headed Azure Phoenix to evolve into an Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix?"

The last Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix appeared thousands of years ago. With the destruction of the family that possessed the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix, no one has evolved it since. Therefore, ordinary beast tamers have no idea about the details of the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix.

The old patriarch of the Zhou family cared deeply for his beloved grandson, Zhou Heng, so he put a lot of effort into understanding anything related to Zhou Heng: "According to ancient records, the evolution of the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix into the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix is ​​different from the evolution of ordinary beasts towards a higher quality; there is no specific timeframe. This is because each Three-Headed Azure Phoenix is ​​an independent individual; some evolve quickly, some slowly, mainly depending on whether they can condense the Origin Emperor Flame. As long as they can reach this stage, they are more than halfway to success, and the time required will naturally not be too long. If they cannot condense the Origin Emperor Flame, the evolution will fail when all the spiritual energy is exhausted, and it will waste a very long time."
