Eternal Beast Taming Family

One of the two elders, his eyes fixed on the "Tree of All Beings in the Mortal World" atop the mountain, murmured unconsciously:

"I feel like the skill that tree just used is familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before."

Jing Yu, with his sharp ears and eyes, heard his murmur and pressed on, "What do you mean by familiar? Where have you seen this tree before?"

When questioned, Elder Zong tapped his head, as if suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration.

"I remember now. During the last academy trial more than ten years ago, there was a boy named Chu Shengfan who had a tree that could suppress the realms of the other source beasts."

However, his plant was only at the Domain level back then, so it's probably related to this one in some way.

"Chu Shengfan." Jing Yu repeated the name.

"Is this the young man who possessed the contract with the Ancient Tree of Medicine, and also the catalyst that plunged our Jingyuan Dynasty into more than a decade of chaos?"

Elder Zong nodded, his eyes filled with a sense of melancholy.

"When he first used this domain, he displayed unparalleled prowess within his own realm."

However, after further analysis, we found that this ability was not without weaknesses; it consumed a lot of energy. We came to the conclusion at the time.

As long as there are enough Source Beasts of the same realm simultaneously impacting its body, the duration of its suppression over all Source Beasts will be shortened.

Once its energy is completely depleted, it will be at the mercy of the other source beasts. However… I wonder if this applies to source beasts of this level.

In the end, Elder Zong's tone became somewhat uncertain, after all, the difference between different realms would cause different skills to produce different effects.

Jing Yu gazed intently at the giant tree atop the mountain, its intricate colors and the cascading patterns of Daoist principles.

Then he returned to his seat, took a deep breath, and said in an inscrutable tone:

"Let's not bother with it for now. Let's change direction and head to that bronze mountain. As long as I get the other half of the source artifact, no matter what strange abilities it has, it won't be a threat."

In an instant, the warship changed direction in the air, with the source beasts on both sides guarding them as they headed towards the Bronze Mountain Range, which was close to Tianmo.

Seeing their movements, Chu Jingyu couldn't help but feel tense. "They're heading towards the bronze core."

Chu Qinhui looked worried. "There are still many residents there, what should we do?"

Chu Mu's eyes gleamed with colorful spiritual light as he stared at the warship.

"That's strange. The person on the warship is almost fused with the Source Artifact. Could it be that he wants to replace the Source Artifact with himself and possess the abilities unique to the Source Artifact?"

Thinking this, Chu Mu was startled to realize that this was somewhat similar to his current state.

But he has already contracted with a Source Beast, and now he wants to become a Source Artifact for inheritance. Can he really succeed? Or might another kind of anomaly similar to himself be born?

In this vast world, people are truly trying all sorts of paths.

However, this person's thoughts about the Source Artifact he had already devoured were truly unexpected; ultimately, he gained control of the two merged Source Artifacts.

He still controls himself by reversing the source's direction, thus becoming one with it.

Thinking this, Chu Mu smiled slightly, his fingers gently rubbing together, and colorful threads drifted into the void.

On the distant Bronze Mountain, the "Bronze Core," enshrined in a bronze temple, flew from the palace into the air.

Then it swayed and drifted toward the approaching warship, as if it had been attracted by something.

The Chu family members in the courtyard naturally noticed this phenomenon as well, and they looked at Chu Zu with puzzled expressions.

Chu Jingyu couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor Chu, what's wrong...?"

"Just keep watching and you'll find out."

Chu Mu did not provide a detailed explanation, but instead asked them to wait patiently.

The Chu family members exchanged glances but did not pursue the matter further.

It's good that the source artifact came out on its own; at least the inhabitants of that bronze mountain range won't attract the attention of the contract masters on the warship for the time being.

Just as Chu Mu had predicted, upon seeing the Origin Artifact floating in the air and heading towards the warship,

As expected, a look of great joy appeared on Jing Yu's face. The source artifact he had been longing for had finally appeared before him, and the aura that came from the same source made him yearn to merge with it.

As for the source artifact actively heading towards him, Jing Yu didn't think much of it. They were originally from the same source, and now the other party must also want to merge together with him, so he didn't see anything wrong with it actively heading towards him.

Just as the source artifact was about to land on the warship, the square bronze core seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and headed towards Tianmo.

It felt as if some being in the Heavenly Desert was also vying for this item.

Jing Yu was furious that his long-awaited "other half" had just slipped through his fingers.

He stomped his feet hard on the ship's deck, and he and the two "Golden Flame Dragon Sparrows" transformed into a ball of golden light and chased after the "Bronze Core".

At the same time, a bronze pedestal appeared beside him, its runes flashing, calling out to the "bronze core" heading towards the Sky Desert, as if trying to seize control from that mysterious entity.

This move seemed to be quite effective; the "bronze core" gradually slowed down and finally hovered quietly in mid-air amidst the vast yellow sand.

Jing Yu's face lit up with joy, and he went to the side of the "Bronze Core" and quickly placed the "Bronze Base" under the "Bronze Core".

At this moment, filled with ecstasy, he didn't even think about why the being who had just been competing with him for the "Bronze Core" had stopped making a move.

He is now completely focused on the "Bronze Core".

However, the result did not disappoint him. As if sensing a familiar and intimate aura, the "Bronze Core" slowly rotated in the air and gently settled on the "Bronze Base".

Flashing lightning connected between the core and the base, and a large number of cyan-gold runes fell from the sky. In the surrounding desert space, one bronze colossus after another appeared.

Their gazes seemed to pierce through infinite space and time, landing on the now-intact "Bronze Core" source artifact.

A special kind of Daoist principle gradually spread outwards from the intact bronze artifact, and the yellow sandy land beneath the void turned into a bluish-gold color.

It was as if some special force of rules had forcibly altered its original inherent properties.

Because of the appearance of this intact evolutionary source artifact, a corner of this desert was transformed into the shape of bronze land, which stretched all the way to the distant bronze mountain range.

The source beasts above, enveloped by the Dao essence, instantly experienced a surge in their auras, with each one rising by at least one minor realm.

However, neither Jing Yu nor Chu Mu paid attention to these external changes; instead, they focused their attention on the bronze artifact itself after the changes.
