Eternal Beast Taming Family

As Chu Jingyu walked along the flat and wide mountain path, he suddenly discovered a purple crack, as if it had torn the heavens and the earth apart, opening up in the back of the mountain.

Thinking to himself, "Oh no!" Chu Jingyu quickly summoned the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" and sent it underground towards the back mountain, while he himself practically became a blur as he darted through the forest.

Qixia Mountain, located halfway up the back mountain.

Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian watched as the ancient tree in front of them was swallowed by the crack, and then a crack passage that was even higher than the entire mountain appeared.

The couple stood there stunned for a moment, and then they saw the scenery on the other side of the crevice.

On the vast, misty grassland, various jellyfish-shaped creatures of different sizes floated silently in the air.

Most importantly, the two saw their long-awaited youngest son. Chu Shengyuan stared wide-eyed at the crack, which was much larger than he had imagined.

The crack seemed to be pulled apart by a huge force, and its width increased until it became more than a meter wide.

The "Aomori Giant Anaconda" suddenly lunged forward, carrying Chu Shengyuan through the passage back to Qixia Mountain.

The "Wood Spirit Crystal Pattern Python" followed closely behind the other two.

The instant Chu Shengyuan returned, Jiang Nian disregarded the spatial rift beside her, rushed forward, and pulled Chu Shengyuan into her arms.

"My son, you're finally back. I thought..."

Chu Shengyuan reached out and hugged his mother back. "Hey, I'm back safe and sound. There wasn't a soul on that grassland, it was really scary."

Chu Qinhui watched as the crack widened and small jellyfish, shimmering with different colors, began to drift towards them. He interrupted the mother and son's conversation in a deep voice.

"Let's get out of here first; this passage doesn't seem to be closed."

The mother and son looked at the passage and found that, just as Chu Qinhui had said, the passage had now expanded to about two meters, as if a heavenly gate had been opened.

Jellyfish-like creatures, some nearly a meter in size, have begun to float into the forest.

Fortunately, they had no desire to attack; they simply flew towards the high sky above this area.

Chu Qinhui looked to the other side of the passage, where a huge jellyfish, nearly a hundred meters in diameter, was perched on the other side of the crack, but was struggling to squeeze towards this side. Several tentacles, stronger than ancient trees, had already reached out through the crack.

With just a casual sway of the tentacle, the surrounding ancient trees were pulled and snapped by tremendous force.

The two giant snakes, "Aomori Giant Anaconda" and "Wood Spirit Crystal Pattern Python," used their tails to flick away the tree trunks and branches that were falling from the surrounding area.

They quickly moved through the woods, away from this troublesome place.

On their way, they encountered the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" that had arrived earlier. Seeing that they were all safe, a look of relief flashed in the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast's" beady green eyes.

Then it pointed towards their home on the mountaintop, slapped its pincers on the ground, and golden sand floated up in front of it, blocking the tentacles that were unconsciously swinging over from behind.

The width of the spatial rift grew larger and larger, from ten meters to twenty meters, and finally settled at around fifty meters.

No matter how much the giant jellyfish with a diameter of 100 meters crashed against it at the other end, it could not widen the crack any further.

After a while, it had no choice but to give up and leave in front of the crack.

However, although it left, more small and medium-sized umbrella-shaped jellyfish squeezed through the crack.

Of course, with the gate wide open, not only the source beasts rushed in, but also the abundant energy. This energy irrigated this energy-poor world, causing many ordinary plants to grow rapidly, seemingly changing in some special way.

For ordinary people, the air around them seems to have become thick, causing dizziness and making it difficult to move.

At the summit of Qixia Mountain, the group slowed their pace slightly in front of the residence.

"What kind of source beasts are those? But they're not bad; they don't attack people unless provoked. I've been there for so long, and they haven't attacked me once."

A few little ones have stuck to me like little tails, look!

As he spoke, Chu Shengyuan patted the fist-sized jellyfish beside him, showing his parents how well-behaved they were.

"The one next to you is called a floating jellyfish. It is usually at the mortal level. It evolves to the other level as the Rainbow Cloud Jellyfish, and then to the spirit level as the Illusionary Light Mica."

Like that one that was stopped and didn't come over, that was the Illusory Light Mica. The information I got from the Treasure Pavilion is that these Source Beasts are indeed mostly gentle in nature and don't often actively attack other targets.

However, when attacked, it will conceal itself and create layers of illusions to trap and kill its target.

"Now everyone is going to the ancestral hall. This is a catastrophe that has spread throughout the entire Zhiyao County. If we can't survive it, our Chu family will return to dust here."

Chu Jingyu's voice rang out from behind everyone.

"Father."

"grandfather."

Chu Jingyu approached Chu Shengyuan and looked him up and down. He found that although Chu Shengyuan was a little dirty, he was in good spirits. With his eyes slightly moist, Chu Jingyu patted Chu Shengyuan's head.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The group soon arrived at the ancestral hall, and apart from Chu Shengfan, the whole family was reunited.

Only then did Chu Qinhui have time to ask the question that had been bothering him, "Father, you said this is a catastrophe affecting the entire Zhiyao County, what exactly happened?"

"These rifts leading to the outside world haven't just opened near our homes; basically every village has one or two. So now, nowhere is safe anymore. Except... in the town or the county seat."

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's words, apart from the three children, Jiang Nian and Chu Qinhui were both utterly shocked.

"How is this possible?" Chu Qinhui murmured subconsciously.

"Doesn't this mean that our Paper Kite County has become a sieve, with no distinction between inside and outside the boundary?"

"That's true to some extent, but we don't know if any important figures from above will come to oversee the repairs. What our Chu family needs to consider now is how to hold our ground under these circumstances."

"Fortunately, we are connected to the gentle and luminous mica here; otherwise, we would have faced a tough battle."

At this moment, the sound of disordered footsteps rang out outside the ancestral hall. All the servants of the Chu family were summoned to the outside of the ancestral hall by the steward Wu Heng.

Chu Jingyu could tell from the unwell expressions on most of their faces that the impact of the abundant energy from outside the boundary was causing their bodies to be unaccustomed to it, and that their condition would become more serious as time went on.

This is why it is necessary to establish a distinction between the inside and outside of the boundary, because ordinary people simply cannot survive outside the boundary where energy is excessively abundant.

Chu Jingyu summoned the steward Wu Heng, along with two head maids and two head servants, to the ancestral hall.

He bowed towards the offering table, saying, "At this critical moment for the family, I beg Ancestor Chu to activate the spirits of these five people and strengthen the family's defenses."

Chu Mu was also very worried about the current situation, so he generously opened the spirits of all five people.

"Qin Hui, take them to contract source beasts. Make sure they contract beasts with some combat capabilities."

Chu Qinhui nodded solemnly, "Yes."

The five people, who were already stunned, followed Chu Qinhui out of the ancestral hall with some confusion.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jingyu bowed to the offering table again, "I humbly request Ancestor Chu's protection and help me break through to the Spirit Rank with all my might."
