Eternal Beast Taming Family

Even though they had seen Jing Yu like this many times, the Chu family still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

An elder of the Transcendent Rank was able to work so peacefully for the Chu family, and his body was bound by shackles, as if he were truly repenting.

Chu Zu's control methods were even more terrifying to them than the "Shadow Silk Bloodline Gu," since the influence of the "Shadow Silk Bloodline Gu" lasted even after they broke through to the next level.

After being washed away by the power of the laws of heaven and earth, the blood gu in the body will dissipate on its own, and the effects that have spread to the bloodline will have no effect.

Although Jing Yu had become a prisoner of the Chu family, Chu Jingyu's attitude towards him was still relatively polite. He made a gesture...

"please."

Jing Yu nodded slightly, and then, accompanied by the clanging of chains, arrived at the side of the Shadow Prison.

Jing Yu stared at the "Blazing Sun Bird" in the cell and said calmly, "Sign a contract with me, and you will be able to survive."

The Blazing Sun Bird stared at the strange human and suddenly realized that this was a foreign race from beyond the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and they were able to control demonic beasts through contracts.

After glancing at the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" lurking outside the Shadow Prison, the "Blazing Sun Bird" finally extinguished its flames and nodded slightly.

Jing Yu reached his hand into the Shadow Prison through a gap in the cell, and a rune imbued with his spiritual power slowly lit up from his palm.

The rune slowly rose from his palm and arrived in front of the "Blazing Sunbird". The Sunbird, without any instruction, swallowed the rune in front of it.

Bright bronze threads immediately spread from Jing Yu's body to the Fiery Sun Bird's body. After a moment, the bronze threads slowly dissipated, and the contract was completely completed.

At Chu Shengyuan's instruction, the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" dispelled the Shadow Prison, restoring the freedom of the Fiery Sun Bird.

Jing Yu patted the "Blazing Sunbird" on the head. "Let's go."

The "Blazing Sunbird" gave Chu Shengyuan a deep look, its eyes revealing a hint of sadness and confusion, but it also quite consciously flapped its wings and circled down to Jing Yu's feet.

Then, with a slight flap of its wings, wisps of firelight escaped, leaving a long trail of flames, as it flew towards the distant Bronze Mountain Range.

Chu Shengyuan watched the man and bird disappear into the distance, scratching his head in confusion. "I feel like something's not quite right."

Chu Qinhui smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, everything's fine. Go back and see your mother; she must have been waiting for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shengyuan looked around in confusion and discovered that Liu Mama was overseeing the reception of the human race on the merchant ship from the city wall.

Why doesn't Mother come here?

Chu Qinhui rubbed his temples, looking a bit annoyed. "It's all because of your brother. Ever since his talent returned, he's been living in a dream world and hasn't left the house in ages."

Your mother wants to stay with him and wait for him to wake up this time, so that he won't immediately fall back into a deep sleep.

Chu Shengyuan nodded knowingly. His younger brother was truly reckless when it came to cultivation, completely unlike his own usual lazy nature.

If he goes back and finds his younger brother sober, he'll definitely teach him about the joy of occasionally "slacking off."

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. I'm off."

As he spoke, the black dragon transformed into dark smoke and disappeared into the air, while Chu Shengyuan himself crossed the void and headed towards the mountain peak hidden behind the clouds.

……

On November 15th of the 16th year of the Chu Family's First Holy Calendar, in Wandao City, which was the fourth day after their great victory in Black Dragon City.

The bronze warship, gleaming with a lapis lazuli luster, set sail once more from Wandao City, this time heading towards Yuyan City, west of Black Dragon City.

At noon that day, the warships arrived outside Yuyan City.

Since there were no demonic beasts above the Evolutionary Rank within the city, Chu Shengyuan simply sat on the warship to maintain order, letting his few Domain-Rank Origin Beasts restrain the high-level combat forces within Jade Face City.

The remaining trained and heavily armed human soldiers did not stand idly by this time, but instead leaped off the warships and charged into the city.

This siege of Yuyan City, which the Chu family had been planning for a long time but which was a hasty attack, lasted for nearly three days before it was finally captured, and all the main forces of Yuyan City surrendered.

This time, the Chu family army suffered three human casualties and twelve source beast casualties. They killed forty-five spirit-level demon beasts and one domain-level demon beast from Jade Face City, as well as countless others of other ranks. It can be described as a great victory.

However, Chu Shengyuan looked at the corpses of the dead soldiers and the source beasts, his expression somewhat somber, and remained silent for a long time before ordering the others to properly collect their bodies.

Witnessing real death seemed to have some impact on Chu Shengyuan's state of mind.

If he had acted sooner, no one would have been injured in this battle, but he knew he couldn't; this was a trial for the Chu family soldiers.

The Chu family will not fight such overwhelming battles forever. Without the tempering of war, they will only become easy prey on the real battlefield.

Finally, Chu Shengyuan left the "Azure Wood Spirit Dragon" to guard the place and moved the remaining 40,000-plus humans away.

However, after returning to Wandao City, Chu Shengyuan disappeared from people's sight for a long time.

……

Chu Family City, January 16th, 17th year of the First Holy Calendar.

The bronze warships set sail once again, with Chu Shengyuan still as the commander-in-chief.

This time, two slightly smaller bronze warships were added to the sides of the bronze warship, while the rest were still merchant ships guarding the sides.

Moreover, the number of soldiers who set off this time reached five thousand, standing densely on the three bronze warships. Together with the source beasts around them, they finally looked like they were participating in a large-scale war.

The warships set sail and stopped at the midpoint between the two cities of Xuancang and Hanye. From there, two attached bronze warships led a group of merchant ships in two different directions.

Each of them was led by one of Chu Shengyuan's two source beasts, the "Spirit Void Flood Dragon" and the "Star Radiance Heavenly Soul Beast."

That afternoon, the war between the two cities, which were even inferior to Black Dragon City, ended. The two source beasts led a portion of their soldiers to stay behind and guard the cities.

The merchant ships then led the humans within their cities to rendezvous with the bronze warship overseen by Chu Shengyuan. Chu Shengyuan inquired again about the casualties among his subordinates.

"Our side sacrificed twenty-two Contract Masters and thirty-eight Source Beasts, annihilated..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Shengyuan raised his hand to interrupt him, then said softly, "Let's go back to the city."

The subordinate official, unable to discern the emotion in Chu Shengyuan's words, carefully relayed the order.

At this point, the five cities surrounding the Chu family's territory were completely brought under the control of the Chu family.

Chu Mu was the one who felt this most keenly. With each city he conquered, he could directly see the Chu family's fortune increase.

With the four cities under control, the fortune had changed from the original blue three zhang seven inches to the golden one zhang six inches.

"Fortune: White, Cyan, Blue, Gold, Red, Purple, Multicolored (from low to high)"

……

April 12, 17th year of the First Holy Calendar.

News came from Chu Shenghan, who was active within the Jingyuan Dynasty: the Yuhai Zhenwang Mansion had raised its flag to declare independence from the Jingyuan Dynasty and held a prayer ceremony to become an independent feudal royal family.

On that day, uprisings broke out everywhere in the Jingyuan Dynasty, and disasters occurred frequently, seemingly due to the backlash from the loss of a royal family force.

In contrast, the Tianyuan Sea, where the Imperial Sea True King's Mansion is located, seems to have broken free from some kind of restrictive shackles. The four seas are at peace, the concentration of spiritual energy has increased, and various rare spiritual objects have appeared one after another.
