Eternal Beast Taming Family

The mysterious man's resentful gaze fell on Chu Shengfan, as if Chu Shengfan were his father's killer.

A mesmerizing light was drawn from his body and then gathered in mid-air, gradually forming a treasure mirror that could reflect people on both sides.

As the treasure mirror was removed, the mysterious man revealed his true appearance. He looked to be in his thirties, with disheveled hair, dark eyebrows, and a slightly weathered face.

"As expected of a person with good fortune, possessing such a protective treasure. However, it's impossible for a mere low-level contract master to turn the tables on me."

"Mirror demon, shine."

The treasure mirror spun several times in the air, then faced Chu Shengfan, and the next moment an extremely bright beam of light shot out from its mirror.

Chu Shengfan felt a burning sensation in his palms, and then the phantom of a giant tree enveloped him.

The beam of light shone on the phantom of the giant tree, but the energy gushing from it was completely absorbed by the tree's shadow, making it impossible for Chu Shengfan to reach it.

Chu Shengfan opened his palm and looked at the seed mark of the ancient Medicine King Tree. It was now extremely hot, causing a slight stinging sensation in his palm.

The mysterious man stared at the ancient tree phantom with a very solemn expression. He had actually sensed an aura similar to that of a 'king' in one of the phantoms.

Who exactly is this young man? Is he a descendant of royalty, or a member of some reclusive family?

However, since the boy saw his true form, he was doomed to die no matter what. He was just a minor alien, and even if the phantom was protecting him, there should be a time limit.

Thinking this, the treasure mirror spun again, splitting into two, then four, and so on, until it split into sixteen clones.

All the treasure mirrors formed a circle in the void, surrounding Chu Shengfan at the very center, and simultaneously emitted blinding beams of light once again.

In an instant, Chu Shengfan was surrounded by a blinding light, and his figure could no longer be seen.

The leaves on the ancient tree's illusory image withered, and the lush branches and leaves dried up instantly, as if the ancient tree had fallen into death in an instant.

A dark gray aura emanated from the phantom of the withered tree, spreading outwards. This aura touched the jade-like earth, the surrounding statues, the pillar of light in the air, and the treasure mirror floating in the sky.

It was as if some kind of deathly and annihilating rule had been brought with it; the earth was corroded and hollowed out, and the brilliance dimmed instantly. The smooth surface of the treasure mirror also seemed to have gained the marks of time, becoming dark and unclear.

Finally, the aura enveloped the mysterious man in his terrified gaze, and in just a moment, his body gently turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

'Pat'

The treasure mirror fell onto the jade floor with a crisp sound.

The entire space fell into a deathly silence. Chu Shengfan was even somewhat bewildered as he stared at the illusory image of the giant tree outside his body.

The seeds Grandpa Sun gave us are really that amazing?

A few seconds later, a clear cracking sound came from the space, and the pitch-black night outside peeked out from the cracks in the jade dome.

"Boom!"

With a clear, loud bang, this space completely shattered. When Chu Shengfan looked around again, he found himself in a completely different world.

The walls were bluish-gray, and the stone bricks beneath his feet were dark blue. The ancient tree phantoms around him had long since returned to Chu Shengfan's body. He carefully examined his surroundings and realized that this seemed to be the alley where he had first met the mysterious person.

Two or three meters in front of him, the treasure mirror with cracks on its surface lay quietly on the ground, and not far from the treasure mirror was a palm-sized jade human figure statue with an even more terrifying appearance, its body covered with cracks.

These are the two source beasts of the mysterious man, but the mysterious man himself seems to have never appeared at all, and no trace of his existence can be found.

Chu Shengfan jogged a few steps, picked up the treasure mirror and the jade figurine, and then hurriedly left the alley.

Only after rejoining the surging crowd did Chu Shengfan have time to breathe a sigh of relief; at least now the "Human Fruit" incident was half resolved.

All he needed to do was hide the "human fruit" inside his body, as long as the Wu family didn't discover it.

With the mysterious man dead, Chu Shengfan wasn't in the mood for leisurely strolls outside. After quickly getting his bearings, he headed towards the courtyard.

About half an hour later, Chu Shengfan returned to the courtyard.

Upon seeing Chu Shengfan for the first time, Sun Chunchen smiled, "It seems the trouble has been resolved."

Chu Shengfan walked into the house, nodded to Sun Chunchen, and smiled gratefully. "Thanks to Grandpa Sun's seed, otherwise I would have died at the hands of that mysterious man."

Sun Chunchen remained calm, as if it were only natural for the mysterious man to die at the hands of the seeds. "Extend your palms and let me see the condition of the two seeds."

Chu Shengfan spread out both palms and showed them to Sun Chunchen.

The "human fruit" in the right palm has changed from a round seed shape to a state with two small leaves, as if it has sprouted and begun to absorb energy to grow.

The seed on the right, which came from Sun Chunchen, was still in the form of a seed, but its color had changed. One side was emerald green and the other side was blackish-gray. The blackish-gray part seemed to be exactly the same as the deathly aura it released.

As he watched the changes in the two seeds, a thoughtful look flashed in Sun Chunchen's eyes, especially as his gaze lingered on the unsprouted seed in his left palm for an exceptionally long time.

"From now on, you must tell me any new changes that occur in the seeds you have, especially the one on the left, even though it will actively protect you."

However, its survival is also the most unstable; it could suddenly perish at any time. The day it sprouts will be the day you form your mutual agreement.

Chu Shengfan looked at the seed in his left palm, his eyes burning with excitement. Even as just a seed, it was enough to instantly kill a high-level spirit beast and a contract master.

If it were to truly sprout, how powerful would it be? Chu Shengfan couldn't quite imagine it for the moment.

"Grandpa Sun, I have a question. Before that mysterious person died, he seemed to have said that he sensed the aura of royalty in this seed."

"Hmph, that person has quite a broad perspective, even able to detect the aura of royalty." Sun Chunchen scoffed, seemingly disdainful of the mysterious man.

"He's right. This seed does indeed come from a King-level Source Beast Ancient Tree. Moreover, it is not an ordinary King-level Source Beast seed. It is one of the six King Seeds that the Ancient Tree used all its accumulated energy to condense before it went into oblivion."

"It carries a portion of the aura of the Ancient Tree of Medicine, which is why it can unleash such formidable combat power. Therefore, you must treat it well in the future; it will be your most reliable talisman on your path to growth."

Chu Shengfan stared blankly at his palm. King Rank? Such a distant realm, yet now there was a seed connected to that realm in his palm.

He felt like he was in a dream.

After a moment of blankness, Chu Shengfan seemed to remember something, and placed the treasure mirror and the jade figurine on the table.

"These are two source beasts left behind by that mysterious person. I have never seen such source beasts before. Grandpa Sun, do you recognize them? Is there any value to be extracted from them?"
