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

Just as the atmosphere in the room was extremely harmonious, a purple figure dressed in a wide-sleeved robe suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."

The old patriarch Wanbao only had eyes for Zhou Heng: "Heng'er, congratulations! You now have five beasts that have reached the mythical quality. Even I am far inferior to you!"

Zhou Heng had a very positive attitude: "No matter how many mythical beasts I have, the Ancestor will always be the pillar of the family, the pillar that holds up the sky."

Ancestor Wanbao revealed an even more benevolent smile: "As the old saying goes, a teacher is not necessarily better than his disciple, nor is a disciple necessarily worse than his teacher. The same principle applies to families. Ancestors are not necessarily better than their descendants, nor are descendants necessarily worse than their ancestors. I am very happy that you are more outstanding than me. Moreover, the family needs members like you. Only when there are more and more descendants like you who are better than their predecessors can the family prosper. If the family always relies on us old folks, it will decline sooner or later."

Zhou Heng said in a serious tone, "I understand what the ancestor means. I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family's inheritance until another descendant who can take on this responsibility appears in the future, and then we will pass it on."

"If you can think this way, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Ancestor Wanbao was very pleased and became increasingly satisfied with Zhou Heng.

After giving Zhou Heng a few instructions about the evolution of the Netherworld Demon Dragon into the Saint-Slaying Demon Dragon, he disappeared from the spot.

Zhou Heng then said to the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch, "Grandpa, Grandma, during the Nine Heavens' evolution, it attracted countless flames from the Canglan Plane. The earth fire erupting from the ley lines will affect the ecosystem and needs to be quelled. The spiritual fire disappearing from the smelting furnace will cause the forging of treasures to fail, and compensation needs to be made to the relevant clansmen. The disappearance of the flames from fire-type spiritual plants may damage their spiritual essence. There are various other situations as well. I hope the family can help to compile a list of all the losses caused, and I will take responsibility for them."

These flames are mainly divided into the fire of heaven and earth, the fire of living beings, and the fire of all things, but regardless of which type they are, they have all had a certain impact on the Canglan plane.

The old patriarch Zhou immediately took all the blame upon himself: "You don't need to worry about these things. The family will open the treasury, and within these three days, regardless of whether the forging of the treasure artifact failed or not, as long as it is verified, the affected family members will be given double compensation."

Madam Zhou followed up, saying, "That's right, Heng'er, you just need to focus on evolving your beast taming skills. You don't need to worry about anything else."

As for the fact that some of the clansmen had their emotional fire absorbed by Emperor Yan Qingfeng, there is no need to worry about that.

Although lust or anger may temporarily affect a person's behavior after it subsides, as long as a person is alive, these kinds of emotional fires will resurface every now and then. All that's needed is to explain the situation clearly and appease these people.

Zhou Heng smiled broadly: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, for helping me clean up the mess."

The Zhou family patriarch and matriarch both wore expressions of doting affection: "You are our own grandson. If I don't help you clean up the mess, who will?"

Zhou Heng then added, "Grandpa and Grandma, I have another suggestion. Based on what you've said, we can use the advancement of the Nine Heavens to Mythical quality as an excuse to distribute some spiritual items to everyone in the family according to their different levels. This way, it can be considered a celebration for all."

To the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch, Zhou Heng was their precious darling. Unless it was some incredibly extraordinary suggestion, they would readily agree to anything he proposed: "You're right. When Emperor Yan Qingfeng advanced, the commotion was enormous, alarming the entire Canglan Plane. As the young patriarch, your initial beast taming reaching mythical quality will make all the clansmen happy. Taking this opportunity to distribute some resources to everyone will not only add to the festive atmosphere but also enhance cohesion—a truly win-win situation."

Fourth Uncle stepped forward and volunteered: "Father, Mother, and Heng'er's idea is good; let me handle this!"

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Fourth Uncle."

Fourth Uncle was very conscientious: "I am the head of the family, this is what I should be responsible for."

This is also why he became the head of the family.

Then, the Zhou family patriarch and his wife took out a lot of recovery potions and forcibly gave them to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng did not refuse.

Although he had many recovery potions, this was a token of the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch's goodwill, and there was no point in refusing it.

Zhou Heng immediately returned to Ruilin Island with his five tamed beasts, while the Zhou family's high-ranking members dispersed.

Upon returning to Ruilin Island, Zhou Heng immediately checked the skill status of Di Yan Qing Feng after its advancement to Mythical quality.

Di Yan Qing Feng's normal skills are the same as before, with no changes.

Among the powerful skills, Three Lives Nirvana has been upgraded to Nine Lives Nirvana.

Back when it was still the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix, it could only be resurrected three times in a row.

Now, Emperor Yan Qingfeng can resurrect nine times in a row, and can also resurrect nine beings who have been dead for no more than a month.

The Five Virtues Divine Light was upgraded to the Five Emperors Divine Light.

It retains all the power of the original skill and is enhanced.

For example, the abilities to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, forge various magical artifacts, concoct multiple potions, heal all living beings, immobilize with lies, provide a shield of justice, break illusions, create illusions, find treasures, and appraise treasures are all retained and have become even more powerful.

At the same time, during battle, five phoenix incarnations wearing imperial crowns can be summoned.

These five phoenix incarnations possess combat power close to that of the Emperor Yan Qingfeng's main body, and they can simultaneously unleash the Five Emperors' Divine Light, causing the effects of the Five Emperors' Divine Light to overlap and greatly enhance its power.

The Five Virtues Divine Fire was upgraded to the Five Virtues Imperial Fire.

It retains its original characteristics, but its power has been greatly increased.

The less one understands the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, and the more one's behavior violates these principles, the stronger the attack from the Five Virtues Imperial Fire will be.

Even if one's level is higher than that of Emperor Yan Qingfeng, one cannot be immune to this effect, and ordinary methods are becoming increasingly ineffective in removing the damage caused by the Five Virtues Emperor Fire.

The three-headed Dharma form was upgraded to the Emperor Flame Dharma form.

It retains its original characteristics, but its power has become stronger.

The effects of enhancing one's own and allies' recovery, attack, and defense become more outstanding, and the weakening of the enemy's intelligence, level, and bloodline becomes more lasting and powerful.

Furthermore, the Azure Phoenix can control all the fires in the world by relying on its original Imperial Flame, thus restraining the vast majority of fire-attribute beasts.

In summary, after Emperor Yan Qingfeng reached the lower-level mythical quality, its skills did not undergo earth-shattering changes; it mainly underwent a complete upgrade, like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Although the form of the powerful skill hasn't changed much, its power is indeed far greater than before, truly belonging to the lower-level mythical realm, and even among the lower-level mythical realms, it is considered quite powerful.

Zhou Heng was naturally very happy about this.
