Eternal Beast Taming Family

Seven days later, on May 7th of the 3342nd year of the Yuanhe calendar of the Jingyuan Dynasty.

A message from the nearby border reached the capital of Jingyuan.

"The Silent Desert is in turmoil. Several Origin Beasts of the Derivative Rank are causing chaos and attacking the border, seemingly trying to reconnect with the Heavenly Desert."

This news caused quite a stir. For the Jingyuan royal family, it didn't matter how chaotic things were inside the dynasty.

However, the border is not an option. If it falls, the territory of the dynasty will shrink, and the dynasty's fortune will also be depleted, which would signify the decline of the royal family.

Therefore, as soon as the news arrived, various urgent orders were issued from the capital.

Troops were mobilized from all the major cities within the dynasty's territory, and most importantly, the most famous city lords within the dynasty were also conscripted.

Two days later, King Xuejing personally led the army from the royal city on his expedition.

However, this time it took nearly a month to quell the unrest, and the originally planned trip to find Medicine King Valley was also postponed. It seemed that Chu Shengfan had been forgotten in the capital.

……

Outside of the Jingyuan Dynasty.

After more than a month, the Chu family finally managed to leave the 'Tianmo' and see the world beyond the dynasty, relying on leaves and seeds.

From an environmental perspective alone, there doesn't seem to be any significant difference.

The scenery remains the same: towering mountains and flowing water, forests and grasslands, yet the sun, with its long ribbon, still shines quietly in the sky.

However, everyone clearly felt a sense of relaxation and freedom in their mind and body, as if they had been freed from some invisible shackles that restrained them.

Following the guidance of the ancient leaves, they arrived at a mountain forest, where they met Sun Chunchen under another ancient-looking banyan tree.

"Not bad, not bad. Although they look a bit haggard, they all made it through."

Welcome to the desolate lands beyond the Jingyuan Dynasty, a land rife with tribal conflicts.

"Tribal conflict? Are there other families here?"

Sun Chunchen nodded matter-of-factly, "That's natural. What's happening now must have happened before. Families like your Chu family are not uncommon; many fled from their respective dynasties."

Of course, some were forced to migrate from the dynasty, while others did so voluntarily. After all, under a dynasty, they could never successfully rise to royalty unless the dynasty they served became an imperial dynasty.

"Uh, wait, what's going on with the Imperial Sea True King of the Jingyuan Dynasty?" Chu Shengyuan asked, puzzled.

"This situation is naturally special. His family took a clever approach and used the Tianyuan Sea as their base to rise to royalty. The sea has endless boundaries, and its vast territory supports his throne."

However, it would be difficult for others to follow suit.

This is a true land of conflict, and it will not truly end until a new royal family is born here.

Sun Chunchen looked at the Chu family with a secret expectation in his eyes.

The area where they were currently located, perhaps because it was relatively close to the 'Sky Desert', was surrounded by towering mountains, and they did not see any tribes.

Chu Jingyu, cradling the 'mountain stone' in his arms, glanced into the distance a few times, then spoke softly.

"Xiao Yuan, look around at these mountains, which one is suitable as a new settlement for our Chu family?"

Chu Shengyuan's figure rose into the air along with the "Lingxu Jiao". "Then I need to take a good look around before making a decision."

Sun Chunchen looked at Chu Shengyuan's figure and sighed softly, "What happens next depends on the fate of your Chu family."

It seemed that the energy to maintain the avatar had been exhausted, and its figure gradually dissipated in the air.

"Thank you very much, Brother Sun, for this trip."

Chu Jingyu's words of gratitude floated in the air, but it was unclear whether Sun Chunchen could hear them.

A moment later, Chu Shengyuan returned, his figure landing beneath the ancient banyan tree. He pointed in a distant direction.

"I think that mountain is quite nice. It has two peaks that act as a barrier between it and Tianmo, and there is a lake nearby. The climate is also quite pleasant."

Chu Jingyu nodded slightly. "I trust your judgment. Let's set off now."

……

Another month passed, and the turmoil in the Silent Desert finally subsided completely. Among the rioting beasts, several of the evolved source beasts were killed, while a few escaped back to the Silent Desert.

However, the imperial army that went on the expedition was not without casualties. One of the border passes collapsed, and something had somehow slipped in from the "Sky Desert," adding several more dangerous areas to the Jingyuan Dynasty.

Even those recruited, whether from powerful families or city lords, suffered damage to their contracted source beasts.

Having merely quelled the unrest, these troops did not return to their capital or send back those they had conscripted. Instead, they changed their destination and headed towards another location within the Jingyuan Dynasty.

Chu Shengfan was also sent from the capital at this time, boarding a warship halfway through the army's journey.

It must be said that Chu Shengfan was somewhat shocked when he first saw the army's formation; warships filled the sky one after another.

The warships were all bronze in color, with huge, ferocious bronze statues erected on them, and even the smallest warships were nearly several hundred meters long.

The largest one in the center, a red warship, was nearly two thousand meters long. It moved slowly through the air, and its solemn and imposing presence alone was enough to deter most people from having any thoughts.

Chu Shengfan was sent to the red warship at the very center, where he saw the Blood King for the second time.

The Blood King was almost identical to the one I had seen last time. He sat on a bronze throne, and below him, many contract masters of various ranks sat in two rows.

At first glance, none of these dozen or so contract masters were below the level of the Derivation Rank. Among them were elders whom Chu Shengfan had met before, as well as city lords who should have been recruited from other places.

Or perhaps they are corpse puppets controlled by the royal elders.

With so many eyes on him, Chu Shengfan felt an immense mental pressure that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Blood King Zhenwang tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, glanced at Chu Shengfan, and spoke softly.

"Lead the way."

After two months, Blood King Zhenwang was finally going to find the Valley of Medicine Kings.

Chu Shengfan didn't say anything, but directly summoned the "Ancient Tree of Medicine King". The ancient branches emitted a faint spiritual light, clearing a quiet place on the blood-mist-shrouded warship and temporarily relieving the mental pressure on so many high-level contract masters.

Blue spiritual light emanated from the "Ancient Medicine King Tree," then converged again in the air to form a cursor with an arrow pointing towards the northwest.

Without Blood King giving any orders, one of the elders at the Transcendent Rank below him made a move. He raised his hand slightly, and a faint blood mist emanated from the warship, forming a blood-mist-filled avenue.

The hundreds of warships were instantly repositioned and turned in the direction indicated by the "Ancient Tree of Medicine King".

The elder squinted slightly and asked, "Lord Yanling, based on your intuition, how long would this journey take?"
