Eternal Beast Taming Family

In fact, every time the Chu family conquered a new city, they would raze the surrounding mountains to the ground.

Perhaps those monsters don't consciously change their surroundings, nor do they have that kind of awareness.

However, for the Chu family, transforming the environment into a habitable place for humans was a very important matter.

Therefore, in this environment of the Ten Thousand Mountains, a small corner has already begun to show obvious changes; the mountains are no longer there, and the land is open and serene.

On December 3rd of the 17th year of the First Holy Calendar, the "Phoenix Feather Demon Lord" once again led demonic beasts to attack, this time seemingly bringing with him all the resources he had accumulated in the demon kingdom.

There are three spirit-path demon beasts, fifteen mortal-path demon beasts, and the remains of a Void King demon beast.

They fought against Chu Shengyuan's newly trained demon beast army outside Huatong City for more than ten days.

Ultimately, the Phoenix Feather Demon Lord suffered a crushing defeat, sacrificing one Spirit Path demon beast, three Mortal Path demon beasts, and the remains of the Void King demon beast.

However, the Chu family was not faring well either. Huatong City was completely destroyed, the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" was seriously injured, Jing Yu lost a spiritual beast, and a large number of demon soldiers from the demon beast legion perished.

This was a war that could not be considered a major victory, and it once again showed Chu Shengyuan the cruel side of war.

After this battle, Chu Shengyuan took the Black Dragon Emperor back to the city to recuperate, and he may have had many insights.

On December 18th of the 17th year of the First Holy Calendar, the source beast "Lingxu Jiao" that it had contracted successfully advanced to the next level.

After advancing to the Derivative Rank, its dragon characteristics became more and more obvious, its horns became more and more majestic, and its scales began to carry some kind of inscription that seemed to contain profound truths.

Its figure had a slight blue tinge, appearing in the air sometimes real and sometimes illusory.

Source Beast: Spirit Void Ancient Mark Flood Dragon

Rank: Evolutionary Rank - Spiritual Path

Qualification: Peerless

Status: Wandering the world (Having acquired a faint bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Clan, the bloodline is gradually undergoing a leap).

Attribute Tendencies: Spirit, Void, Astral

Skills: 1. Spirit of the Void (Dao): All things in the void can become spirits. This skill allows the user to briefly generate ethereal spirits in surrounding inanimate objects, enabling the user to examine certain historical imprints or past scenes on them. Furthermore, the user can summon the peak period from the remains of deceased source beasts, condensing their ethereal spirits to assist in battle.

2. Shattering Blade: A blade of energy imbued with the power of the void. After dealing effective damage to the target, it is difficult for the target to recover on its own or through healing skills.

3. Etherealization: Makes oneself or the target temporarily invisible, which can avoid most attacks.

4. Spiritual Journey to the Void (Rank): The Spiritual Void Dragon can briefly travel to the Void Realm, where it may comprehend the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and grow rapidly.

5. Void Glazed Realm (Domain): The Void Glazed Realm is a domain in which all secret techniques used by targets within the domain can be copied by the Void, simulated, and then revealed from the void.

6. Shadow of the Phantom Dragon: Creates a shadow of a dragon that transcends spatial distance and appears in the target's mental sea, directly causing severe damage to the target's spirit.

7. Ancient Dragon Heavenly Mark: The body is engraved with the Heavenly Punishment Mark of the Ancient Dragon Clan. When it glows slightly, it can punish the target. If one cultivates and understands it to the extreme, one may be able to reverse the flow of power and cross realms to kill enemies.

8. Void Annihilation: Daoist energy flows and is released towards the target. For targets of lower cultivation levels, it can directly annihilate them, causing them to dissipate into the world. For targets of higher cultivation levels, even a portion of their body can be annihilated if the user is not careful.

With Chu Shengyuan's second Origin Beast transforming into a Derivative Rank, the Chu family gained even more confidence within the 'Ten Thousand Mountains'.

After nearly half a year of recuperation, and once the Black Dragon Emperor's injuries had fully healed, in June of the 18th year of the First Holy Calendar, the Chu family resumed its expansion.

In just one month, under Chu Shengyuan's personal leadership, the Chu family's demon beast and source beast legions captured ten cities within the territory of the "Phoenix Feather Demon Lord." Without the "Phoenix Feather Demon Lord" personally leading the demon beasts to defend them,

Those cities had virtually no effective resistance against the attacks of the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" and the "Spirit Void Ancient Mark Flood Dragon".

After conquering the tenth city, Chu Shengyuan halted his offensive. After all, he had a considerable territory, but it would still take some time to fully establish the Chu family's civilization within it.

Therefore, according to the Chu family's policy, they should first rest and recuperate for a period of time, and after the rear is stabilized, and after the demon beast legion recruits a certain number of demon beasts and trains them for a period of time, they will expand their territory.

In this demon city closest to the border—Fire City.

Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li rarely had free time, so they strolled around the city.

Nan Li was still wearing her favorite red dress. Compared to before, her eyes and brows were even brighter, and she seemed to be living a much more comfortable life in the Chu family than in the Imperial Sea True King's Mansion.

"This Flame City is inhabited mostly by firebird-type demonic beasts, and the fire elemental rules of heaven and earth are quite active here. I was thinking of bringing you here to cultivate for a while; perhaps you can gain something from it."

Hearing Chu Shengyuan's explanation, Nan Li smiled slightly.

"So it's just because this place is suitable for my physique to cultivate? I thought..."

Nan Li stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, and looked at Chu Shengyuan with a somewhat strange expression.

Chu Shengyuan couldn't help but press, "What did you think?"

Seeing Chu Shengyuan's clueless expression, Nan Li couldn't help but shake her head. "Of course you think you miss me. Isn't that right?"

Hearing Nan Li say those words so confidently, Chu Shengyuan blushed, but his competitive spirit still made him bite the bullet and say:

"Of course, that's part of the reason."

The two, who were still considered newlyweds, could be said to have gotten married first and then fallen in love.

Over the course of a few days, Chu Shengyuan took Nan Li to the Hundred Fire Forest in the city, the lava field in the mountains, and the Flowing Fire Domain outside the city.

The environment here is indeed suitable for Nan Li's cultivation. It should be said that Nan Li has never been to a cultivation environment that is completely suitable for her physique. In the past few days, the source beasts she has contracted have successively advanced to the upper level of the domain rank.

She herself seemed to have touched the threshold of the Derivation Rank, but that mysterious feeling was very difficult to break through, and it seemed that she would need more time to accumulate if she wanted to break through.

March 7th, 19th year of the First Holy Calendar, Medicine King Valley.

In just a few years, the barren and desolate land has been transformed into a vibrant tapestry of colors, teeming with life.

In the northern part of the heart of Medicine King Valley, an endless sea of ​​flowers blooms, filled with spiritual energy. Petals of these spiritual flowers are scattered on the ground, nourishing the earth anew.

If pharmaceutical merchants or discerning people from outside the industry were to see so many precious and rare flowers left to wither away without being harvested and collected, they would surely lament the waste of such a bounty.

To the west of the heart of Medicine King Valley grows numerous ancient trees, some bearing spiritual flowers, others medicinal fruits, their rich medicinal fragrance filling the air and captivating all who behold them.
