Eternal Beast Taming Family

"Don't worry, this rat is tough, it won't die." Chu Shengyuan walked to the side of the lying rat demon, flicked his finger, and a point of star soul fell and entered the center of its brow.

From this point on, the three demon god brothers of Blackrock City will be under the control of Star Soul and will no longer be able to harbor any other thoughts.

Unfortunately, the number of "Star Souls" of the "Starry Sky Soul Beast" is not large. Otherwise, by searching city by city, it would be possible to quickly build a solid foundation for the Chu family, whose base here is weak.

The Black Rock Mountain Spirit took out a lot more stone milk and dripped it onto the rat demon, slowly repairing its terrible injuries.

Source Beast: Void Soul Rat

Equal level: Lower domain level

Qualification: Extraordinary

Status: Severely injured and unconscious, absorbing stalactites, recovering.

Attribute Tendencies: Space, Soul, Rat

Skill: 1. Spatial Traversal: Within a limited space, it enables traversing spatial distances. There will be a certain time interval between each release.

2. Spatial extension: Extending the space within a certain distance.

3. Soul Inquiry: For targets that are asleep or in a coma, the Soul Rat can use this technique to inquire about their soul and access some of their deepest memories.

4. Soul Imprint Explosion: Condenses a soul imprint in the target area, causing explosive damage that can impact both the mind and body.

5. Thousand Soul Rat Body: Summons a large number of soul rats. As energy is consumed, the soul rats will have different levels of realm strength, with the highest reaching the level of being in sync with one's own realm.

6. Idle Soul Domain (Domain): Within this domain, targets will have their spatial perception weakened or lost, and unconscious spirits will emerge to attack the targets within.

Aside from the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" having a long lifespan, these three source beasts were rather ordinary in Chu Shengyuan's eyes, no wonder they were exiled to the border region near the "Heavenly Desert".

After obtaining the consent of Chu Jingyu and Chu Shengyuan, the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" sent its two brothers to a temporary stone house that it had built to recuperate.

After settling the other two source beasts, it turned to Chu Jingyu and Chu Shengyuan, cautiously asking, "Do you two have any special arrangements?"

Having been a demon god with a status above humans for so long, even now that it is enslaved, it is still somewhat difficult for it to address the two humans with respectful titles.

If it were facing the "Starry Sky Soul Beast" or the "Azure Wood Spirit Dragon", it would naturally be able to utter some respectful titles.

Chu Jingyu didn't dwell on these things; he simply stroked his chin and spoke softly.

"How many demonic beasts are there in Blackrock City? What are their cultivation levels? And how many humans are there?"

The Blackrock Mountain Spirit closed its eyes slightly, seemingly taking a quick mental count, before finally speaking.

"There are only the three of us brothers at the Domain Rank, sixteen at the Spirit Rank, one hundred and thirty-seven at the Extraordinary Rank, one thousand one hundred and forty-seven at the Mortal Rank, and fifteen thousand three hundred and forty-four humans."

The city, ruled by a domain-level demon beast, had a human population roughly equivalent to that of a town in the Jingyuan Dynasty. However, the high-level demon beasts were somewhat more capable, barely deserving of the city's title.

Chu Jingyu lightly tapped his brow with his fingers, then uttered a shocking statement that resonated with the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit."

"I want to take all the humans from Blackrock City away."

The Black Rock Mountain Spirit was shocked and hurriedly said, "No!"

Chu Shengyuan frowned. "Hmm? Why not?"

Chu Shengyuan stared at the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" with dissatisfaction. If it didn't give a reasonable explanation, Chu Shengyuan would make it realize who was in charge of Black Rock City.

"You two may not know this, but every so often, the Demon Kingdom sends a demon god to inspect various cities, and there are strict requirements on the number of humans kept in each city. If the number of humans is too small..."

This could reduce some of the resources and support provided to the demon kingdom, or even increase taxes within the city. In severe cases, the demon kingdom's status as a city could be revoked, and the powerful demons within it could be merged into other cities as subordinates of the demon gods in those other cities.

If the demon god comes to inspect this place again and finds that there are no humans in the city, he will definitely conduct a detailed investigation, and then…”

Finally, the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" looked up at the two of them. Without needing to explain in detail, the two understood its meaning.

Chu Jingyu pondered for a moment, "Then let's take some young men who haven't been contracted with us before, about five hundred. That shouldn't have much of an impact on your city's assessment, right?"

Hearing Chu Jingyu's words, the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Five hundred was still acceptable, but it was a little reluctant to part with all of them being teenagers.

Raising a child from infancy to adolescence is no easy feat, even under its protection. Humans are fragile, and a disease or minor injury can lead to an early death.

It's better when they're young and strong, as that's the time when they can provide luck and increase the tribe's population. But now that Chu Jingyu has taken five hundred of them away, how could it not feel heartbroken?

However, it forced a smile and said, "Of course there is no problem with that. Please wait a moment while I go and select the person."

With that, it cupped its hands in a gesture of respect and then walked down the mountainside.

Chu Shengyuan watched its departing figure, then sat down at the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Grandpa, didn't we say we'd just rebuild the city along this line? Why are we taking people away again?"

Just as Chu Shengyuan picked up his teacup, a hand reached out and snatched it from his grasp. Chu Jingyu finished his tea and handed the empty cup back to Chu Shengyuan.

"Naturally, we'll take a two-pronged approach. You'll stay here and keep a close watch on the three demonic beasts, and also be in charge of the construction and renovation of Blackrock City."

I will take some people back to build our own way of cultivating the true essence of our family.

Otherwise, the existence of two different methods of contracting with source beasts in the same city might lead to some disharmonious issues later on.

"Ah, am I supposed to stay here and keep company with these source beasts?"

"These three source beasts are now under your control. If you don't stay here to keep an eye on them, who will?"

"Alright, then you don't need to worry about what kind of city I want to build."

Chu Shengyuan smiled, a hint of anticipation for the future in his eyes, as if some images had already flashed through his mind.

Chu Jingyu looked at Chu Shengyuan suspiciously for a moment, "As long as the number of people and source beasts here can increase, the rest is up to you."

"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the task."

After a while, the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" returned and cupped its hands in greeting to the two of them. "Gentlemen, the people are ready. They can leave with you at any time."

Chu Jingyu was somewhat surprised by the efficiency of the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" and wondered what method the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" used to select five hundred teenagers so quickly.

"Alright, let's go take a look together."
