Eternal Beast Taming Family

The dozen or so elders present looked at each other after hearing his words, and it was clear that they were all unwilling.

Last time, Wang Zu summoned five elders to search for that Medicine King Valley. In the end, Wang Zu returned wounded, but none of the five elders returned.

Now this Elder Yu wants to take several elders on a trip. What kind of place is Tianmo? It's a strange and mysterious place. Will they be able to come back alive? It's not as comfortable and peaceful as letting them stay in the capital.

Even if you go and successfully obtain the other half of the source artifact, even if you, Jing Yu, become a king, won't they still remain elders of the royal family? What difference would that make compared to now?

Therefore, no one readily responded to Jing Yu's words.

"Elder Yu, the capital needs enough people to stay and guard it. If we take a few people away, the resulting emptiness will make it easier for others to take advantage of the situation."

"What do you mean by taking advantage of a weakness? I think it's just that you've been in this position for too long and have lost all ambition."

After being rebuked so angrily, none of the elders responded easily. In fact, they were all secretly thinking, "You have ambition, but you have poured a lot of resources into it over the years. You are still only hovering in the Spirit Path of the Evolutionary Rank. How much stronger can you be than us?"

"Hmph." Seeing these people looking down at him and letting him scold them, Jing Yu knew that they were determined not to agree to his demands. He flicked his long sleeves and went outside the palace.

"The time has come for Hu Mingyong of the Hu family, Cheng Huoxi of the Cheng family, and Liu Zi of the Liu family to serve you. Come with me on this expedition."

His words were met with responses from various palaces in the upper city, some in family sanctuaries, others inside sealed coffins, where ancient and powerful auras were awakening.

The elders all looked at Jing Yu, who was suspended in the air, with different expressions. The three people he had chosen should all be his 'corpse puppets'. It seemed that this time, he was preparing to use all his resources.

Jing Xu sighed softly, then ordered a civil official beside him, "Go and take inventory of one rank-evolving warship and a thousand elite soldiers to accompany Elder Yu on his expedition."

"Yes."

In Jingxu's eyes, these thousand elite soldiers had almost no chance of returning. However, as a member of the royal family, he still had to send them along to make a good impression. They were just consumables.

Even if Jing Yu gained nothing from this trip, he, as the Grand Secretary, had not made any mistakes.

Thinking this way, Jingxu felt much better.

For some time now, Jingxu's views on the royal family's actions have become increasingly pessimistic.

……

The Ten Thousand Mountains, the Kingdom of Demons.

Looking at Chu Shengyuan, who was still sitting steadily on the head of the Azure Wood Spirit Dragon, Yuanhe helplessly advised:

"Lord, we have arrived at Black Dragon City. If the city lord here sees a human sitting on the head of a demon god, it will make them unhappy. They will think we are contemptuous and cancel our place in the Dragon God Trial."

Chu Shengyuan, resting his chin on his hand, turned his head and asked, "This Black Dragon City Lord is only at the upper-level Domain Rank, why should we be afraid of him?"

"Lord of the City, you are unaware that the Dragon God Trial is always overseen by a great demon god of the rank of Derivation. We are here to participate in the trial, so it's better to avoid trouble."

As a young man, Chu Shengyuan acted as he pleased. If he were still in that situation, he would certainly not have listened to this advice and would have only followed his own heart.

But now Chu Shengyuan actually nodded, "Alright, we'll do as you say."

It stepped down from the head of the "Azure Wood Spirit Dragon," and then another "Spirit Void Dragon" appeared from the void.

The "Black Dragon City" does not actually contain a race of black dragons. Rather, it is said that a powerful black dragon fell in ancient times and solidified into a hidden place containing its abundant wealth.

However, the hidden place contained trials, and only those who completed them could take away the treasures within. Over time, the Demon Kingdom built a Black Dragon City there.

"How many years has it been? The treasures left behind by the black dragon still haven't been completely taken?"

"Yuanhe" gently flapped its wings. "City Lord, many of the treasures are spiritual plants or minerals and jade. Even the scales on that black dragon are worth more than ten million."

This trial only takes place once every ten years, and each time only about ten scales can be extracted. According to some demons, it would probably take ten thousand years to collect them all.

Ten thousand years. Chu Shengyuan smacked his lips, feeling that this number was too far away for a young man like him who had only lived for more than twenty years.

"Alright, look at that huge hole up there, does that mean the trial has already begun?"

As he spoke, Chu Shengyuan pointed to the huge, abyss-like hole above the distant city.

"Yuanhe" glanced at it, his expression instantly turning anxious. "City Lord, the trial has indeed begun. We haven't obtained the credentials to enter yet, so I'm afraid we won't be able to participate."

"The credentials? The black tokens in front of those people?"

"right."

"You just wait outside, I'll go grab a few."

Chu Shengyuan and the two source beasts beside him instantly transformed into streams of light and rushed towards the bottom of the huge abyss.

Beneath the void, various kinds of source beasts looked expectantly into the enormous hole. Each of them had a black rhombus-shaped token floating in front of it, releasing a faint dragon aura, seemingly echoing something in the darkness within the void.

However, although there are many kinds of source beasts, they also have some things in common, namely, these source beasts have scales on their bodies to varying degrees, belonging to the category of scales and claws.

"The Dark Abyss has opened; you may now enter to undergo your trials."

Beneath this hazy sky, a bird with a wingspan of three feet and fiery red feathers spoke softly.

When Chu Shengyuan saw the bird, his eyes lit up. He felt that this bird would be suitable to be Nan Li's contracted beast.

Because they were in the "Spirit Void Dragon" skill "Void" state, even though Chu Shengyuan and the two source beasts swaggered into the source beast group, no one noticed anything unusual.

Even the "Blazing Sun Bird" of the Mortal Path, which was concealed by the auras of many Origin Beasts, did not notice Chu Shengyuan's sudden intrusion with two Origin Beasts.

Chu Shengyuan and his source beast, along with the massive torrent of people, headed towards the torrent in the sky. Just as they were about to approach the void, the "Azure Wood Spirit Dragon" instantly summoned a number of vines and snatched the tokens from in front of several demonic beasts around them.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the source beasts, Chu Shengyuan waved apologetically at them, "Thank you for your donations. If I have any gains after I come out, I will share some with you."

Only then did the "Blazing Sun Bird" notice the intruder. It let out a high-pitched cry, and thin lines of fire tried to wrap around Chu Shengyuan's body from different directions.

However, at this moment, Chu Shengyuan and the two source beasts beside him simultaneously transformed into a "void" state, causing the seemingly weak but extremely powerful fire lines to pass through their bodies as if passing through air.

The next moment, accompanied by the furious cries of birds, Chu Shengyuan and the two dragon-like source beasts instantly disappeared into the hollow.
