Eternal Beast Taming Family

The stars, like fallen diamonds, covered the entire night sky. In the quiet mountain forest, only a few calls of unknown birds could be heard, as if only in this way could one show that there was still life in this desolate mountain forest.

A swirling purple vortex appeared beneath the oldest banyan tree in the mountains and forests. Moments later, Chu Jingyu, Chu Shengyuan, and the Cheng brothers emerged from the vortex one after another.

A human face appeared on the ancient banyan tree nearby, and as its mouth opened and closed, Sun Chunchen's voice rang out.

"Nearby is the Shepherd Soul City of the Jingyuan Dynasty, which I find quite interesting. If you are interested, you can go in and take a look."

If you wish, you may rest and settle down here. The next round of vortex teleportation will begin in five days.

As he spoke, the face on the ancient banyan tree slowly disappeared, and Chu Jingyu, holding the rock in his hands, took out a chair and sat down comfortably.

Several source beasts appeared around him one after another, with faint energy fluctuations emanating from them, as if they were exploring the surrounding environment.

Chu Shengyuan's eyes darted around, and he instructed the masked Cheng brothers, "You two stay with my grandfather, I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood."

The two brothers clasped their fists together, then silently summoned their source beasts, standing a short distance from the ancient banyan tree, wary of potential dangers.

Chu Jingyu glanced at Chu Shengyuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, don't get into arguments with others, and don't reveal your background."

Chu Shengyuan quietly acknowledged his grandfather's instructions, scanned the surrounding area with his spiritual power, discovered the nearest town where humans gathered, and then flew away under the cover of night.

During the flight, Chu Shengyuan took a quick look at the types of source beasts in the mountains and forests and found that the source beasts here were indeed very special.

Most of them are source beasts that don't have a physical form and are soul-type, some of which are like the "Mist Ghost" type of source beast.

From Chu Shengyuan's perspective, in the silent mountain forest, ghostly figures with illusory sounds could be seen moving about from time to time.

Some of these figures resembled animals, some were draped in light veils so their appearances were obscured, and others were simply humanoid... the variety of forms was endless.

Upon observing yet another ghost, Chu Shengyuan stopped and slowly descended, finally able to see all the information about this ghost.

The ghost's overall appearance was similar to a human, but it had a light veil covering its face, completely obscuring its head and upper body. Only two slightly transparent legs could be seen, hovering three feet above the ground, silently floating forward.

"Source Beast: Veiled Ghost"

Rank: Median of different ranks

Qualification: Ordinary

Status: Foraging

Attribute Tendency: Soul, Spirit

Skill: 1. Veil of Shadows: Condenses a veil above the target's head to obscure their senses, limiting their vision and mental strength.

2. Ghost Path: A ghostly path is left behind where you pass. Any target that steps on it will passively absorb a portion of their spiritual energy.

3. Shadow Claws: Long claws extend from the hands of the veiled ghost, capable of directly damaging the target's mental state.

The "gauze ghost" was clearly unaware of Chu Shengyuan's swaggering observation from behind, and continued to drift forward as if it had some purpose.

Chu Shengyuan became interested and wanted to observe more closely how this "gauze ghost" ate.

Could it be like the previous "Foggy Ghost" that feeds on the worship of villagers or by absorbing the spiritual energy of living people?

With that in mind, Chu Shengyuan followed the "Ghostly Veil" at a distance, preparing to stop it when it was about to harm people, and also to find out about the local situation from the locals.

As the "Graceful Ghost" moved forward, more and more ghostly source beasts appeared around it, and many of them were not the same source beast race as the "Graceful Ghost".

The "Mysterious Miasma Ghost," whose entire body is shrouded in mist, the "Three-Headed Rakshasa," which has three heads, and the "Black-Haired Vengeful Spirit," whose hair reaches the ground, are just a few examples.

These soul-type source beasts weaved through the dense forest, their destination seemingly uniformly heading towards the edge of the forest, where Chu Shengyuan sensed a faint human presence.

These soul-type source beasts, are they perhaps trying to create some kind of scene of a hundred ghosts parading at night? Chu Shengyuan, who was floating high in the sky and concealing his aura and figure, frowned slightly.

Emerging from the dense forest, the scene outside was not the dilapidated mountain village or the decaying human town that Chu Shengyuan had imagined.

Instead, it was a wide square, or rather, a long street paved with bluestone bricks.

There were many "people" standing on both sides of the long street. These people seemed to be gathered in family units. Each family had an offering table in front of them, on which were placed some exquisite offerings and incense and candles in the center.

The various soul-type source beasts that emerged from the dense forest did not harm the people standing by the long street as Chu Shengyuan had predicted. Instead, they walked obediently forward in the center of the long street.

Occasionally, soul-type source beasts would slowly stop, then pause in front of the offering table. Under the fervent and expectant gaze of the worshipper, they would slowly lower their heads and gently sniff the incense.

Then a strange thing happened: the incense was seen swirling all over the soul-type source beast.

In just a short while, it successfully transformed from a strange-looking source beast into the appearance of a human child.

Under the joyful gaze of the "family members" behind the offering table, it happily stood behind the offering table and went away.

In that instant, Chu Shengyuan's figure almost froze on the spot. He focused his gaze and looked at the humans behind the offering table one by one. Sure enough, he saw the names of different source beasts behind them.

"The Mist Ghost", "The Veiled Ghost", "The Bitter Bird", "The Heartless Miasma Spirit"...

Chu Shengyuan pursed his lips. No wonder there were so many people here, yet the atmosphere was so quiet. He had originally thought that the large number of soul-type source beasts had suppressed the atmosphere.

It turns out there were no people here at all, only an overabundance of soul-type source beasts.

Chu Shengyuan's gaze swept across the long street toward the town it led to. Surely there couldn't be no living person in the entire town.

No one knows what happened here before, but it has been completely occupied by ghosts. Now, these ghosts have somehow temporarily transformed themselves into humans, hoping to live as humans.

Chu Shengyuan slightly opened his palm, and a ball of dark blue lotus-shaped flame appeared in his palm.

"Ghostly Blue Lotus Fire," a fire-seed source beast consecrated by Chu Zu, has a natural restraining effect on these ghostly source beasts, and there are enough source beasts here for it to grow.

The "Ghostly Blue Lotus Flame" in Chu Shengyuan's possession is currently in a dormant state because it has not yet formed a contract with him.

But here, Chu Shengyuan wanted to activate it and see how far it could grow with so many low-level ghosts. Maybe the conditions for evolution could be met?

Without thinking, Chu Shengyuan pushed out the blue lotus flame in his hand, when a hand suddenly appeared and pushed the blue lotus flame back.

"Young friend, we have no grudge against each other, why would you suddenly attack?"
